Pan Yi and Allegri are doing a py deal, but the game between them has already made the headlines of major sports media newspapers around the world.
After all, this is a Champions League quarter-final knockout match, after all, it is a big score of 3 to 0!
Chelsea defeated Juventus in this game. Whether it is from the score or the game process, it can be said that Chelsea was under control from beginning to end, and Chelsea's performance can also be said to be impeccable.
The British "Guardian" commented:
"In addition to this score, if we dig deeper, we will find that there are many very interesting details hidden in the game."
"According to the data we received after the game, Chelsea's ball possession rate in this game reached 61%. Although due to the rain, the passing success rate was only 75%, but it still resulted in 17 shots!"
"Of those seventeen shots, eight were on target, resulting in three goals."
"As for Juventus, the passing success rate is as low as just over 60%, and they only had five shots in the game, one on target!"
"On the one hand, this is because Juventus' midfielder is suppressed by Chelsea, and most of their shots can only be completed through long-range shots from outside the penalty area. Of course, the efficiency is even lower;"
"On the other hand, it also reflects the relatively impatient mentality of Juventus players in this game. When their offense finally pushed forward, they were eager to shoot and did not organize it well."
"Chelsea's advantage can also be seen from another data. Their steal data is astonishing, reaching 25! And Juventus only has 10. Such a disparity in data is also reflected on the field. Juventus' midfielder is basically I was just knocked to pieces by the impact.”
"Chelsea's ball possession rate is much higher than Juventus, and there is also a big gap between the two in terms of quality of ball control. Juventus is often forced to play in the middle and backcourt when it comes to possession of the ball, but Chelsea is Being able to use the passing game to break down the defense.”
"Obviously, Chelsea far surpassed their opponents in terms of both viewing and practicality. In this Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea showed a very comprehensive and rich offensive and defensive routine, which did not fade even in the heavy rain. too much!"
Compared with the Guardian's analysis of the data of the two teams, Italy's Turin newspaper attributed Juventus's defeat to the poor performance of the players, especially the midfield players.
"It is well known that Pirlo's defensive ability is weak. However, Pogba and Vidal blindly moved forward. In the end, the team's brains could only defend in many cases, and the midfield organization was messed up. This The performance of the two b2b players was a disaster!"
"Torino" also pointed the finger at Juventus's two wing-backs.
They believe that when the midfield loses momentum, if the team can open a gap through the two wings, it can also revitalize the offense, thereby achieving "surround Wei and save Zhao" in the midfield.
But the problem is that the two wing-backs contribute too little to the offense.
Both Lichtsteiner and Evra are like two old cars that are in disrepair and can no longer drive on the road.
Especially compared with Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta who were running back and forth on the opposite side, the gap was even more obvious.
"We all play as wing-backs, so why is there such a big gap in performance!"
Of course, the newspaper criticized the team's head coach Allegri in the end, believing that the main reason was that he made mistakes in hiring people, including signings.
"It's understandable that Allegri doesn't want to use Asamoah. After all, the Ghanaian's ability is indeed limited. But if you bought Evra from Manchester United who is in the later stages of his career, it is not necessarily better than him. Otherwise, how could you just Worth 2 million?"
"Including Lichtsteiner, he is 31 years old this year and already feels a little powerless on the court."
"To be honest, our journey in the Champions League this season is over. And if we fail to make the right signings in these two key positions next season, we will not be able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League!"
"Serie A championship? This is really nothing. Now in Serie A, which team has a stronger lineup than us? Milan? Inter Milan? In fact, the only one competing with us this season is Roma, and that's not the case. We have been left behind..."
Of course, in addition to the Italian media that will reflect on Juventus's disastrous defeat, media from other parts of the world are overwhelmingly praising Chelsea.
The Chelsea management was also generous in their praise. They spoke highly of Pan Yi's coaching ability and the performance of the players.
Club chairman Bruce Buck was interviewed by the media after the game. He said: "This is a wonderful victory! Pan Yi has brought us an incredible gift. I sincerely hope that he can coach at Chelsea forever."
】
But for the team to advance to the semi-finals in advance and even have a chance to enter the finals, Bruce Buck showed a mature and prudent side.
"It's too early for us to talk about promotion now, because we all know that a score of three to zero can only give us a certain advantage, but the game is two rounds and we must remain optimistic and cautious."
"And this is just the quarter-finals. If we want to reach the semi-finals or even the final, we need to do more."
"But I believe that as long as the players can maintain their excellent performance in this game, then we are fully capable of winning the Champions League, and we will have a bright future!"
------------------
While the whole world was marveling at Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Juventus, the other three games in the Champions League quarter-finals were also decided.
Bayern Munich, who had drawn the "big gift package" Porto, was shocked when they went to the Dragon Stadium to play. This turned out to be an "explosive package"!
With Quaresma's brace and Jackson Martinez's goal, they actually defeated the powerful Bayern 3:1 at home!
Bayern just relied on Thiago's goal and barely got an away goal.
But to be honest, Porto's lineup this season is still quite good.
In addition to the "King of Outer Instep" Quaresma and "Evergrande Famous" Jack Ma, they also have Danilo, Alex Sandro, Ruben Neves, Elneny Waiting for a good hand.
There is even Abubakar, the Cameroon international, a man who will threaten Ronaldo's position in the Saudi League Riyadh Victory team in the future!
In short, their ability to reach the quarterfinals this season was definitely not due to luck, and their 3:1 victory over Bayern also illustrates this point.
The other two games were uneventful.
Barcelona defeated Monaco 3:1 away from home, with Messi, Neymar, and Suarez each scoring a goal.
The local derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid ended in a 0:0 draw, and the two will have to compete again in the second round at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
After this round, since neither Bayern nor Real Madrid won, Chelsea, due to its excellent performance in the first round, became the top favorite to win the Champions League this season, tied with Barcelona.
Is it Chelsea's Belgium that is more explosive, or Barcelona's msn that is more dexterous?
This has also become a topic of discussion among fans around the world.
Moreover, Chelsea's three-goal victory over Juventus was certainly more shocking than Barcelona's victory over Monaco.
This has also brought Chelsea to the forefront of the media and fans, and head coach Pan Yi has once again become the focus of reports and attention from major media around the world.
Everyone is curious to know whether Pan Yi will eventually lead Chelsea to win the Champions League again as those fans imagined.
And will the curse of being hot and certain to die happen to Chelsea?
----------
Before the second round of the Champions League, Chelsea "took time" to play a London derby.
It was April 19. Chelsea challenged Tottenham Hotspur away from home in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
Of course, Pan Yi couldn't devote 100% to this game that was sandwiched between two Champions League knockout rounds.
Moreover, Chelsea has already won the league championship, and the remaining games are actually more about training - of course it would be better if they can break some records by the way.
He finally sent a young rotation lineup to deal with Tottenham.
Tottenham, on the other hand, are still fighting for a Champions League spot, so they started to attack from the beginning.
This game ended up with a high score and lots of exciting goals!
In the 18th minute, Chelsea had a corner kick opportunity. Christensen's header hit Vertonghen's arm after a header, and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Lingard took the penalty kick and scored it instantly, Tottenham 0:1 Chelsea!
In the 24th minute, Tottenham goalkeeper Lori took a goal kick. Ake intercepted it in the midfield, but Tottenham midfielder Eriksen got it. He directly hit the frame with a long shot, Harry Kane succeeded with a header, Tottenham 1:1 Chelsea!
In the 46th minute, Eriksen took a corner kick, Vertonghen's header slipped past the center post, and Shazli blocked the ball into the net, helping the home team overtake the score! Tottenham 2:1 Chelsea!
In the 48th minute, Gnabry knocked back from the left, and Chik shot low from the front of the penalty area and evened the score. Tottenham 2:2 Chelsea!
In the 53rd minute, Chelsea's corner kick opportunity was met by Ivanovic's header. Bamford's header was blocked by Lori, and then he volleyed and scored. Chelsea take the lead again. Tottenham 2:3 Chelsea!
In the 56th minute, Walker passed a diagonal pass from a 45-degree angle. Harry Kane's shot was saved by Martin. Harry Kane made another shot into the net. Tottenham 3:3 Chelsea!
In the 77th minute, Tottenham got a good chance for a free kick at the front of the penalty area. Eriksen kicked a curve ball and scored. Tottenham 4:3 Chelsea!
In the 91st minute, Lingard cut inside and passed a cross. Ramirez's long shot from the top of the penalty area went straight into the blind corner. Tottenham 4:4 Chelsea!
In the end, thanks to Ramirez's last-minute goal, Chelsea tied Tottenham away!
The 4:4 score also tied the most goals scored in a single Premier League game this season - the other one was also created by Chelsea, when they defeated Manchester United 8:0 in the 20th round...
Then, Chelsea immediately faced Juventus in the second round at Stamford Bridge.
------------------
Pan Yi stood in front of the home team's coaching bench, tilting his head and looking to the other side.
On the visiting team's side, Allegri was tugging on his suit and yelling at the court.
Although they lost 0:3 in the first round, which made all Juventus supporters feel like they were going to die, Allegri still wanted to save face.
This week he was scolded badly by the Italian media!
Therefore, he came to Stamford Bridge today just to get a victory!
Well, a draw will do!
Well, no matter what happens, a goal will do!
In short, it can't be as miserable as it was at the Juventus Arena a week ago!
And Pan Yi seems to be very "caring".
Today's Chelsea are not as fierce as they were on the road.
On the contrary, today they seemed to be not playing at home, and actually put on a defensive counterattack posture.
This mainly takes into account the overall combat strategy.
Now that the Premier League championship has been won, and the semi-finals of the Champions League are also beckoning, Pan Yi wants to win the game in a lower consumption way.
If two generals are injured in one game like when they played against Paris Saint-Germain, then what's the point?
Maybe a season of hard work will be ruined by injuries in the end.
This is what Pan Yi doesn't want to see.
Therefore, today Pan Yi asked his players to play more relaxed, play more flexible and free, and focus more on counterattack.
Probably the commands "High Press", "Significantly Increase Press", "Press the Goalkeeper", "Ferocious Fight", and "Immediate Counterattack" have been removed, and "Defense Retreat", "Immediate Counterattack", etc. have been enabled. Commands such as "Quickly release the ball", "Break through the defense line", "Multiple passes to open spaces".
In this way, players are less likely to get injured and receive cards. In fact, the defensive efficiency will not be reduced much, and counterattacks are also very threatening.
But as a result, Juventus's performance was much stronger than in the first round.
After all, without facing the opponent's high press, any professional team may be able to calmly organize an offense in its own midfield and backcourt, let alone a Serie A champion like Juventus.
Throughout the first half, the Bianconeri attacked the half with all their might, while Chelsea defended the half.
Then it was a zero-to-zero.
After changing sides in the second half, Juventus' offensive continued unabated, while Chelsea remained calm and continued to defend and wait for counterattacks.
But at this time, Alejandro became very anxious.
There is no goal. Although it seems that the goal of "scoring one point" can be achieved, it seems that it will be difficult to deal with it back home?
Besides, it seems that Chelsea is a bit passive, but the defense is impeccable.
If Juventus fails to score a goal, Allegri is not sure whether this "get a point" task can be completed.
Who doesn't know that Chelsea is best at giving you a stab at the last moment of the game?
"This kid was stabbing each other when we were playing Tottenham Hotspur, and he was so tight when he was kicking us. Is he really flexible and flexible?"
Allegri turned his head, glanced at Pan Yi, who was sitting back in the coaching bench, and cursed angrily.
But he actually understood Pan Yi's intention of doing this.
You already have three goals in the first round. Do you really need to fight you in the second round?
The game against Tottenham was just played as a warm-up match, and a group of young people were sent to perform an offensive performance.
But this also shows the strong tactical flexibility of Pan Yi's Chelsea.
Whether it's aggressive attack, controlling the ball and playing rhythm, or playing counter-attack like today, he is always at ease and has no sense of jerkiness.
It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi's formations can often surprise people and make them completely unpredictable.
Has he thrown too many strange formations this season?
But it always works and ultimately leads to victory.
"You still have to be careful. You can see that whether it is Lukaku, Hazard, or Bernardo Silva, they are always ready to counterattack."
Assistant coach Landucci, standing next to Allegri, reminded cautiously.
He knows very clearly that Allegri's biggest dream now is to win the Champions League again!
Although he won a Triple Crown in Milan more than three years ago, many people say that the biggest credit for that time goes to Pan Yi...
This makes Alegre feel like he is lying on top.
Therefore, Alaigri has been holding his breath and wanting to prove himself again.
But he failed at Milan and was fired.
Now that he has come to Juventus, of course Allegri wants to do it again!
However, the score of 0-3 in the first round has already pushed Juventus to a dead end and also pushed Allegri to a dead end.
"Yes, their counterattack is very threatening. But..." Alegri hesitated.
He can certainly see the danger at Chelsea.
But what else can be done now?
I didn’t get a goal back. It’s really hard to explain when I go back!
Landucci looked up at the time and said, "It's seventy minutes now. Do we...do we want to stop?"
Seventy minutes means the arrival of "Pan Yi time".
In fact, after being unable to attack for a long time on the court, it felt like they were at the end of their game. The veteran players began to feel a little unable to run.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has been holding back their kicks. Their physical fitness is still good.
Pan Yi may not even need to replace any key players or bring in any key tactics, just rely on these players on the field to drag the old ladies to death...
But Alegri still shook his head firmly: "No, we must continue to attack."
Landucci understood.
This game was lost, but Allegri still wanted a goal!
It’s not about victory or defeat, it’s just about dignity.
------------------
But soon, Chelsea's counterattack came.
In the 75th minute, Pan Yi directly replaced Hazard and B-seat with Gnabry and William, using fresh troops to start strengthening the team's offense!
Chelsea also quickly launched a wave of offensive.
Just three minutes later, that is, in the 78th minute, the Blues launched an offensive. Gnabry crossed into the penalty area. After receiving a low pass from Azpilicueta on the right, he volleyed directly with his right foot. Chelsea opens the scoring!
Four minutes later, there was another wave of Chelsea attacks.
Willian got the ball in the middle and turned around to get rid of Marchisio, and went straight into the penalty area. After Lukaku used his body to hold Bonucci, he received the ball, turned and pushed, and once again broke the Juventus goal.
With a two-goal lead and a total score of 5-0, Chelsea was already assured of victory.
At the last moment, Allegri replaced midfielder Marchisio with high center Llorente, which also strengthened the team's offense.
Finally, in the 90th minute, it was Llorente's header that gave Tevez a chance to hit the goal from close range.
The Argentine beast fired a furious shot that almost broke the net!
The shot was so close, Courtois was helpless, and Juventus finally scored the goal.
Two to one, this was the final score of the game.
Although Juventus lost in the end, they only lost one goal at Stamford Bridge. To be honest, it can be called "a glorious defeat".
Although the first half of the game was a bit dull, the fast-paced offense and defense in the last 15 minutes pushed the atmosphere of the game to its climax.
This is like a movie that has been prepared for a long time and has a conflict erupting at the last moment. It makes people watch it heartily and the fans are also hooked.
Chelsea advanced steadily, Juventus gained respect, fans saw a wonderful game, and everyone was satisfied with the result...
After the game whistle sounded, Chelsea celebrated the team's promotion from top to bottom, and the home fans also cheered and applauded their players as always.
Alegre looked normal.
After he sent all the players back to the locker room, he took the initiative to shake hands with Pan Yi:
"You still won, congratulations. Just wait until next season. When I buy Cuadrado and De Sciglio next season, we will play again!"
Pan Yi chuckled and said, "Are you sure?"
Alegri hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Of course, I don't want to meet you so early. Let's wait until the finals!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
But Aleigri came over again and said: "Since you are so happy about winning today, why not recommend some more players to me?"
Pan Yi glared: "Are you too greedy? Two wing-backs are not enough?"
Allegri sighed: "Look, our goalkeeper Buffon is also very old, but there has never been a successor..."
Pan Yi laughed: "Don't worry, he won't decline so early. Judging from how hard he fought today, I don't think he will retire until he is 45 years old!"
Alaigri wiped his sweat: "But you have to prepare for a rainy day..."
Pan Yi thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I will recommend someone to you. Look at Arsenal. Didn't they just sign our Cech? Then their main goalkeeper Szczesny has no place. You Just in time to start!”
"Huh? It seems to make sense. If he can't play in the game, the asking price will definitely not be expensive..." Allegri nodded frequently, "And he is also the kind of goalkeeper we need."
Szczesny is not a ball-playing goalkeeper, but what Allegri wants is someone with good goal-line skills, which is exactly what he wants!
"Forget it, since you are so sincere in asking for advice, I will give you another suggestion." Pan Yi said again.
Alegri was overjoyed: "Really? Who?"
"An Argentinian who plays in Palermo, his name is Paulo Dybala." Pan Yi said.
The "Little Demon Fairy" later played for Juventus for seven or eight years. Like Szczesny, he certainly had no adaptation problems.
But this time Allegri shook his head: "He has played very well in Palermo in recent years, and his worth reached 12 million euros when he moved from Argentina to Italy. It must be expensive to buy him, right?"
Pan Yi smiled: "So you have paid attention to him a long time ago?"
Allegri nodded: "Of course, it's not like I don't have scouts! This guy plays in Serie A, can I not notice it? His characteristics on the court are that he is good at picking up the ball, fast and steady, even in I can complete the movements even under fierce physical confrontation, my mind is very clear, and I am very energetic in the game..."
Pan Yi waved his hand: "Okay, I don't need you to educate yourself. Anyway, I recommend it. You can decide whether you like it or not."
Alaigri came closer and said, "Then...how much do you think is appropriate to pay for him?"
Now the whole world knows that when Pan Yi buys players, all of them are cheap and easy to use.
And if Pan Yi paid a high price, then this player would be super useful! Such as Kanter.
Therefore, when Pan Yi was asked to estimate the price, Alegre had a firm idea.
"Thirty to forty million, maybe." Pan Yi thought for a while, but he couldn't remember exactly how much the transfer fee was when Dybala moved to Juventus in his previous life. It was probably in this range.
"That's not bad..." Alegre nodded slightly.
In the current Serie A, Juventus may be the richest team. It is not very difficult for them to spend 30 to 40 million to buy a player.
For example, this year, they spent 20 million to buy Morata, and when Yin Guain arrived in 2016, Juventus even spent a sky-high price of 90 million euros...
Later, there were transactions of De Ligt and Cristiano Ronaldo, which were also sky-high prices.
In short, today's Allegri received a strong recommendation from Pan Yi, which made him full of confidence for the next season.
Although it's still April, he can't wait for summer to arrive!
