On the morning of April 16, Cobham training base.
A so handsome Aston Martin flew from a distance and stopped slowly at the entrance of the training base.
The driver's side window rolled down, revealing a so handsome face that it was Pan Yi.
A smile appeared on his face, looking at the security guard who stood solemnly and saluted him.
"Good morning, Mr. Victor."
"Good morning, Mr. Pan Yi, you came very early today."
"Haha, we are going to win the championship soon, so we still have to prepare well."
"Come on, Mr. Pan Yi! Bless you!"
After politely replying to the security guard, Pan Yi waved again and drove into the training base.
When Pan Yi said "win the championship", he meant the Premier League championship!
In an early game last night, Leicester City drew with West Ham United 2:2.
This also means that Chelsea, who have one game less and are 14 points ahead, can win this season's Premier League championship five rounds in advance as long as they defeat their opponents in this round!
Chelsea's opponent in this round happens to be Tottenham Hotspur.
This also means that Chelsea will likely step on the head of their rivals in the same city to get on the championship podium!
There's nothing better than this.
Therefore, Pan Yi also wanted to come to the training base early and prepare well.
However, he had just parked the car, and when he got out of the car, he saw another car coming in at the gate, and it was assistant coach Arteta.
The other party seemed a little surprised when he saw Pan Yi. He rolled down the window to say hello and then parked the car in the parking space.
"You came so early too? Boss." Arteta asked after getting off the car.
He is an assistant coach, and he will be responsible for presiding over the morning training today.
This is also Pan Yi’s consistent arrangement for coaching.
Pan Yi doesn't like those more cumbersome training procedures, so he usually draws up a rough plan and then asks his assistants to execute it.
As for physical recovery and adjusting the players' physical condition, of course it is left to Pintus or Wolfat.
In this case, he would have more time to study tactics.
Of course, everyone has no objections to this arrangement.
There are specializations in the art industry, as it should be.
"We're about to win the championship, are you nervous?" Pan Yi asked with a smile.
"After all, it will be my first Premier League championship..." Arteta also smiled, "I'm not like you, who even won the championship with ease."
The two joked and walked side by side towards the first team training building.
At this time, some personnel have also arrived at the Cobham training base.
The breakfast room was already open, and the staff who cleaned and maintained the venue came to work early, so the two kept meeting acquaintances along the way, and people kept congratulating Pan Yi and Arteta.
After all, everyone knows that the Premier League championship is about to be won!
When they came to the breakfast room, they ordered breakfast as usual, and the two of them ate face to face.
"Mikel, please give me the report and video of Tottenham's last round. I'll take a look at it later." Pan Yi became very serious when he talked about work.
Arteta's full name is Mikel Arteta, and Pan Yi usually calls him by his name.
"Okay, I'll get back to you right away and report that I've sorted it out." Arteta nodded.
Tottenham's opponent in the last round was Liverpool, and the two sides tied with 1:1.
Tottenham are in pretty good shape so far this season. They have been ranked third behind Chelsea and Leicester City, and they have been able to keep pressure on their North London rival Arsenal.
Therefore, Pan Yi still needs to make more detailed preparations.
Beating Tottenham and winning the title are two things that can make Chelsea fans happy, and now they can be combined into one!
"But boss, I don't quite understand. We have already played the first half of the season with Tottenham. Is it necessary to send so many scouts to watch their games?" Arteta asked again.
For Tottenham's game against Liverpool, Pan Yi asked the team's most experienced scouts to watch the game together, and then write separate game reports.
In the end, these reports were gathered into the hands of Arteta, and Brother Tazi was asked to compile them into a volume and then show them to Pan Yi.
Pan Yi solemnly said:
"Kimier, the football game is changing rapidly, and the tactics used in the first half of the season do not mean they will be used until now."
"And as the schedule progresses, many problems that were exposed in the game may have been improved now, and many problems that did not exist before may have been exposed now."
"That's why I have to prepare meticulously for every game and every opponent."
"And this time Tottenham is special. We played them 0:0 in the first round, which shows that our preparations last time were not in place."
"So, today is an opportunity to make amends. In front of the home fans, we can no longer let Tottenham take advantage of us!"
Arteta nodded, and he even began to feel ashamed that he felt that Pan Yi was a bit "making a fuss out of a molehill" at first.
He is also gradually understanding that he must take every game as seriously as Pan Yi in order to become a victorious general like him!
——
April 17, Stamford Bridge Stadium.
In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Tottenham Hotspur at home.
This is the focus of this round.
Because this is a direct dialogue between bitter rivals in London, and it is also a key battle related to the ownership of the Premier League championship this season.
As long as Chelsea wins this game, they can win the championship five rounds in advance!
Although it seems a little worse than last season's victory seven rounds ahead of schedule, it is actually not the case.
First of all, Chelsea directly gave up the FA Cup and League Cup last season, striving to seek breakthroughs on the two main fronts of the League and the Champions League, which reduced a lot of competition pressure;
This season, Chelsea has the ultimate goal of winning seven crowns. On any front or in any game, they have to work hard to win. This makes the difficulty obviously much higher than last season.
Therefore, it is very rare to be able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Premier League without falling behind on all fronts.
Secondly, this season's Leicester City team has performed extremely stably, even putting more pressure on Chelsea than the BIG6 last season.
For example, after 33 rounds, Arsenal, which ranked second last season, had 66 points, while Leicester City had 70 points this season. This 4-point gap is also the reason why Chelsea has to play two more games to win the championship.
Of course, it is only theoretical to say that Chelsea can win the championship five rounds in advance.
After all, Chelsea's opponent was not easy to beat this time.
Pochettino's team is focusing on a youth storm this season, with 19-year-old Alli, 21-year-old Dier, 23-year-old Eriksen, Son Heung-min, and Lamela, as well as 25-year-old Walker, Danny Rose, and Terry. Peel, Alderweireld...
These young players all occupy important positions in the lineup and play at a high level.
Therefore, even though they lost their main center Harry Kane in the summer window, after the discomfort at the beginning of the season, Portino still adjusted and kneaded this young team together to form a relatively strong team. Strong combat effectiveness.
Now after playing 32 games in the Premier League, Tottenham are ranked third with 17 wins, 11 draws and 4 draws with 62 points. There is great hope that they can enter the Champions League next season.
However, Arsenal behind them has 61 points, and the fifth and sixth Manchester City duo are only four or five points away from them.
Therefore, Tottenham must hope to score points with Chelsea!
Moreover, as their rivals in the same city, how could they want to see Chelsea celebrating the championship in front of them?
Even though today is an away game against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur are not timid at all, they just want to fight Chelsea to the death!
They set up a 4-2-3-1 offensive formation at the beginning, and they were ready to fight against the home team.
However, after the opening, it was the home team Chelsea that took the lead in creating a threat.
In the fifth minute, Lukaku received an overhead pass from seat B. After he entered the penalty area, he shot through the goal of Tottenham goalkeeper Lori, but the linesman signaled that Lukaku was offside when starting, and the goal was invalid.
This caused boos to spread from the Stamford Bridge stadium, and Lukaku also showed an innocent expression.
But after confirming that the referee's decision could not be changed, Lukaku still extended his thumb and gave the first thumbs up of the day to the B seat who sent the pass.
Soon, Chelsea went on the offensive again.
Azpilicueta put the ball on the right and passed it diagonally to Harry Kane who cut to the middle. The latter volleyed and hit the right post hard.
Two consecutive shots created a threat, which greatly improved the morale of Chelsea.
But soon, Tottenham Hotspur also fought back.
After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Son Heung-min rushed forward with the ball from the left, using his speed to force a one-on-one break through Azpilicueta and then passed in, but Courtois very steadily broke Lamela's single-handed ball.
Two minutes later, Tottenham's Kyle Walker on the right made a breakthrough and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Ali then inserted a long shot, but failed to suppress the ball and directly blasted the ball into the stands.
A minute later, it was Tottenham's left again. This time, Shazli forced a breakthrough and then crossed the ball, but Son Heung-min's long shot failed to create a threat.
After the game started, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur took turns taking the initiative on the court and launched threatening attacks.
The rhythm was fast, and the fans in the stands enjoyed it very much.
But Pan Yi watched from the sidelines and shook his head.
"They played a bit fiercely today, especially on the wing," Arteta also said.
Today, Tottenham's center forward is Korean star Son Heung-min, and behind him, playing in the midfield position is Argentinian star Lamela.
Around the two of them are Belgian internationals Shazli and Ali.
Double midfielder Dell + Eriksen, and the four defenders are Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, and Kyle Walker.
The most notable feature of this lineup is: fast!
Needless to say, the forward line headed by Son Heung-min often pulls to the left and right to break through;
The key point is that the two full-backs, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, are both out-and-out speed dogs. Their impact caused a lot of trouble to Chelsea's two relatively slow wing-backs.
After all, Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta have never been known for their speed.
And who is Kyle Walker?
Even when he was in his thirties, he was still a sports car defender who could defend Vinicius on his own...
Even if Danny Rose is not as famous as Walker, he still has a speed of 19 in FM.
Tottenham's formation and personnel configuration really have some advantages against Chelsea's 3-5-2.
After all, the wing defense of the three-back formation is never as solid as that of the four-back formation.
When faced with speedy centers, wingers, and full backs, it would be really difficult.
"Then we won't let them make a fuss on the wing." Pan Yi smiled and stood up.
Tottenham Hotspur's offense relies heavily on the two wings, which means that their central attack will be weaker.
The midfield defensive line composed of Eriksen and Dell is not so stable.
Therefore, Pan Yi wants to convey his instructions to the players on the field, so that his own formation can retract appropriately and not give the opponent's speed dogs too much room to sprint.
In addition, in terms of defensive strategy, they implemented "defend the sides and put the center" in place, allowing their three central players to participate more in side defense, forcing Tottenham to shift their offensive focus to the center, and then fall into Chelsea's trap.
Pan Yi's adjustments quickly achieved immediate results.
Due to the increase in the number of people they faced, Tottenham's wing attack was greatly hindered, and they had to pass the ball more to the center and then seek opportunities to transfer to the other side.
But often as soon as the ball reaches the center, Chelsea's generals will work together to strangle it and steal it.
As a result, Chelsea quickly regained control of the situation on the field and began to firmly hold the ball.
This forced Tottenham to switch to passive defense.
Chelsea's offense is getting smoother and smoother.
In the next ten minutes or so, Chelsea fired four or five threatening shots, which prevented Tottenham from being as arrogant as they were at the beginning, and the players also felt the pressure.
When the game reached the 30th minute, seat B advanced the ball to the thirty-meter area and then distributed the ball to the right.
Azpilicueta, who came in from behind, took the ball from the right and passed it diagonally to the back of the penalty area. Harry Kane made a diving header, scored with a header and broke the deadlock on the field, 1:0!
Harry Kane, who scored the old home goal, did not celebrate, but the cheers of the Stamford Bridge fans suddenly soared into the sky!
And just two minutes later, Chelsea expanded the score.
This time it was a pass from Harry Kane. After Lukaku stopped the ball in the middle, he volleyed directly, but the ball was saved by Lori flying to the ground.
But Seat B quickly followed up and passed the ball back to the goal before it left the baseline. Matic stepped in from the back row and calmly pushed the ball into the goal, expanding the score to 2:0.
This goal further helped Chelsea expand its lead. Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge could not help but celebrate the team's victory.
Amid their high-pitched singing, Chelsea still controlled the game methodically from top to bottom.
After changing sides in the second half, Chelsea scored first.
In the 60th minute, David Luiz launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt. Lukaku used his speed to force the start, and directly passed the ball past Tottenham's two central defenders, and then calmly pushed into the dead corner.
3:0!
And this was also the last goal of the game.
Chelsea finally defeated Tottenham Hotspur at home.
With this victory, Chelsea won the English Premier League championship trophy this season five rounds ahead of schedule!
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium completely turned into a stage for Chelsea fans to celebrate their championship.
Blue fireworks were lit in the stands, and blue ribbons slowly fell from the stands.
And Queen's song "We Are All Changping People" also spread to every corner of Stamford Bridge! ——
"Pan Yi is really an incredible person!"
In the most luxurious VIP box at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea owner Abramovich overlooked the players and coaching staff celebrating wildly in the stadium.
At this time, the stands of the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium were already in an uproar and the noise was overwhelming. Everyone was celebrating the Premier League championship for the second consecutive year.
Although Chelsea has been far ahead since the start of the game, everyone is still uneasy until the champion has not received the honor room, and they are always worried that something will go wrong at the last moment.
It turns out that this worry was unnecessary.
Having Pan Yi means stability!
And this is already the fifth championship that Pan Yi has won for Chelsea this season, and it is also the most important one!
"Boss, you are far-sighted." Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck sighed. "When you said you wanted to sign him with the world's highest annual salary, I was a little hesitant. But now it seems that this account is too good a deal. .”
Isn't it? A mere 20 million annual salary has brought Chelsea many honors.
Apart from honors, the economic benefits Pan Yi has brought to Chelsea are also extremely high.
Chelsea have climbed to the top of the table according to the latest European Football Club Asset Review.
Among the player transfer values in the German transfer market, there are several players in the Chelsea team worth hundreds of millions, such as Lukaku, such as Kante, such as Van Dijk.
In other words, Pan Yi led this team, won trophies, made money, and achieved value-added!
This is obvious, and from the perspective of team reputation, Chelsea has had a huge influence around the world in the past two years and gained astonishing attention.
Among other things, according to some fan statistics conducted around the world, Chelsea fan coverage has reached a very exaggerated level, surpassing Manchester United and becoming the club with the most fans in the world.
After hearing what his chairman said, Abu laughed and said nothing, and continued to look at the field.
At this time, Pan Yi had been thrown into the air again and again by Chelsea players. As Pan Yi went up and down, the stadium was filled with shouts of "Pan Yi!" "Pan Yi!" according to the beat. .
"So, should we start the contract renewal process?" Bruce Buck said cautiously, "Give him a salary increase and let him continue to create a dynasty in our team..."
But Abu shook his head: "He has no plans to renew the contract for the time being."
"Ah?" Bruce Buck's mouth opened wide. "He wants to go to another team? What team is it? It actually has a higher offer than us? We can double the offer!"
Abu waved his hand: "It's not about money. Pan Yi has always been able to do things without money. And he doesn't go to some other team. In my opinion, his future focus may be on running his own business." The team is on.”
"Oh..." Bruce Buck thought thoughtfully, "You mean...that York City Club?"
"Yes." Abu suddenly turned around and looked at Bruce Buck, "I heard that the Mansour Group has taken action against York City. Some subsidiaries are sponsoring York City. This is obviously trying to steal from me. People. Although we have a better relationship with Pan Yi, we still have to be on guard."
"You mean...we also want to sponsor York City?"
"More than that." Abu said decisively, "We must show enough sincerity to make Pan Yi feel that we are truly his own."
Bruce Buck suddenly realized: "Oh. In this case, he is more willing to stay at Chelsea. Even if one day he is no longer at Chelsea, he will not go to other teams, and he is also willing to help us, whether it is technically or personnel-wise. "
Abu nodded.
Now everyone can see how awesome Pan Yi is.
They also sincerely feel that as long as Pan Yi is on their side, no matter what price they pay, it seems to be worth it.
Even if Pan Yi leaves Chelsea in the future, as long as he is willing to provide technical guidance to the team, including recommending some future stars, it will be enough for the entire club to enjoy for a long time.
Apart from anything else, the youth training camps organized by Pan Yi at Chelsea and the young players poached from various places have now shown great potential.
For example, the Norwegian who is not yet 16 years old, looks like he can eat children, but has already jumped to the U19 youth team and started killing everyone.
There are also younger players such as Garvey, Pedri, and Bellingham. The coaches of various youth teams are full of praise for them, and they all say that it will not take long to reach the level of the Premier League first team.
Not to mention Mbappe, who already played in the first team last year!
Now he is worth over 50 million, which is still the price on the German transfer market.
Abramovich believes that if Mbappe is really put on the market, there will definitely be a bunch of wealthy clubs lining up to offer him over 100 million yuan!
There are so many valuable players, so there is no problem in giving one of them back to Pan Yi.
"So, you have to personally grasp the cooperation with York City." Abramovich ordered, "Whether it is stadium naming, renovation, various updates to the training ground, or staff recruitment, what are their requirements? , try to be satisfied as much as possible.”
"Yes." Now Bruce Buck had no doubts and could only follow the boss's instructions.
Then, Abramovich looked at the court again, looking attentively at Pan Yi, who was already standing in the middle of the court in high spirits:
"In short, no matter what method is used or what price is paid, no one is allowed to take him away!"
