On the other side, Charlton head coach Carl Robinson looked at the field blankly.
He was still a little confused. His team just lost a goal?
York City's counterattack was so fast that the coach's reflex arc couldn't keep up.
"Hell!" Carl Robinson cursed and stood up from his seat.
He was a little irritable. For him, this goal was completely unplanned.
The goal conceded just now was just an accident. The opponent caught Charlton off guard.
Therefore, Charlton must continue to attack and quickly get the score back!
"Hey!" Carl Robinson shouted the name of full-back Solly, "Keep attacking! York City are all young players, and the young people have no experience. We must take advantage of their relaxed mentality after scoring a goal and try to equalize the score as soon as possible! "
"Got it, coach!" Solly said gloomily.
The ball conceded just now was fundamentally caused by his passing being intercepted. He is also on fire now.
"Tell everyone, be careful of their counterattack!" Carl Robinson did not forget to warn, "They are very fast!"
"It's much faster than I thought..." Carl Robinson muttered as he sat back on the coaching bench.
——
But at this time, York City did not retreat.
They suddenly exerted their strength and began to attack Charlton's goal.
At the same time, York City's formation also began to change into a 4-2-3-1.
The four defenders remain unchanged, and the double defensive midfielder is still Karlstrom + Rice, but Lin Liangming moves to the middle to play a forward midfielder position, while Amon plays the left winger, Kulusevski plays the right winger, and Baker Be the center forward.
This is a method Pan Yi told Scaloni to take advantage of the victory.
When the score is ahead and the situation is favorable, young people with high morale can take advantage of the trend and rush forward!
The original 4-4-2 will be more inclined to prevent counterattacks, so changing to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 is a better choice.
After a brief thought, Scaloni chose the more aggressive 4-2-3-1, because this means that four people have become regular offensive weapons!
At this time, if Charlton head coach Carl Robinson chooses to shrink the defense and be safe, maybe his team can still resist.
However, Carl Robinson misjudged the situation. Instead, he was very happy with York City's heavy pressure. He believed that after the young York City attacked, there would be a large space in their backcourt. This was exactly what Charlton was doing. Good chance for the ball.
Therefore, what the audience saw next was that both teams seemed to completely ignore defense and began to fight aggressively.
After a big press, there will indeed be a large space, and indeed there will be goals.
But this York City team is not just full of young players. The presence of Karlström, Westerman, and Isakson now gives this team an extra level of calmness in addition to passion.
So when attacking, York City's defense is still quite stable, but Charlton is different.
In the 30th minute of the game, York City once again seized the space after Charlton's heavy pressure on the left and once again launched a quick counterattack.
This time, after a breakthrough from the left, Amon finally cut inside and tried to take a long shot, but he passed the ball beautifully to Kulusevski who was on the right.
Kulusevski deftly spiked the ball past Charlton's left back and then passed in. The big center Baker faced the defender and tried to catch the ball, but he cleverly missed the ball and the forward who inserted in the middle Midfielder Lin Liangming followed up with a shot!
It was a low shot that went through the Charlton goalkeeper's wicket and into the goal.
York City extended their lead to two goals just over half an hour into the first half!
After scoring, Lin Liangming opened his arms and ran to the coaching bench, while Pan Yi in the stands also stood up and applauded with joy.
"Not bad, not bad. He is worthy of being a Real Madrid star."
It's a joke, but Lin Liangming's characteristics were clearly reflected in this game.
He runs aggressively, has good awareness, and is considered a hard-working player.
In this attack, he ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt and completed this beautiful counterattack goal with his teammates.
And the final shot also showed his good shooting skills.
If he continues playing like this, it is not impossible to become "Wu Lei's second" in the future, or even surpass Wu Lei.
"Two to zero!! Beautiful! Lin Liangming scored a goal. This is a young player that York City owner Pan Yi personally recruited from Castilla, and he is also his fellow Dragon Country!"
"York City's attack once again showed us their counterattack speed! In fact, Charlton's return to defense this time was considered fast, but the cooperation between York City's young people is very tacit."
"It was all passed with one kick. I only saw a few snaps. Very quickly, the ball went from the left to the right, then to the center, and finally completed the fatal blow. Charlton was completely tired of defending!"
"From the current point of view, York City's signings this season are very successful. It is not like some media questioned that there are too many young unknown players or that they are not able to adapt well."
"These media may have forgotten who Pan Yi is! He is not just a wealthy coach who spent tens of millions to buy people at Chelsea. He has also bought players in Milan and Hamburg at extremely low prices who can win the Champions League. For the champion players!”
"This group of players may look a little immature, but under the training of Pan Yi and Scaloni, they should be more than enough to cope with the English League One!"
"Poor Charlton became the guinea pig for this new York City team. This is certainly a situation that Mr. Carl Robinson did not expect before the game. His team was completely led by York City from the beginning of the game. "
"York City's young people impressed everyone. They beat Charlton without any chance to fight back! This is a youthful storm coming from League One, which is in sharp contrast to most teams that rely on veterans!"
——
Charlton, two goals behind, has begun to collapse a bit.
This is mainly because the actual situation of the game formed a strong contrast with the optimism before the game, which made the Charlton players a little overwhelmed.
The same is true for Charlton's coaches. They don't even know whether to attack or defend now.
In the 40th minute, York City made an attack and Charlton fouled Baker in the backcourt. The fouling player was also shown a yellow card.
York City were awarded a well-placed free kick.
Karlström took a running start and did not choose to shoot directly. Instead, he rubbed the ball into the penalty area.
The tall center Baker leaped high, overwhelmed Charlton's centre-back, and headed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.
"The ball has been scored again!! It's Baker, a domineering header! York City's top scorer last season has scored again! Three to zero! York City has secured the victory!"
"Charlton are completely stunned! As a team that was still playing in the English Championship last season, they were beaten completely by York City, who played in League Two last season!"
"York City not only has speed on the court, but also height! This combination of speed and speed really makes Charlton hard to guard against!"
There were huge cheers and shouts from the York City fans in the stands.
The first half was over soon, and the score was York City 3-0 Charlton at home.
This is a score that no one expected before the game.
Although York City does have famous stars like Karlström, Westerman, and Isaacson, the others are indeed unfamiliar and too young.
In this case, the media generally believe that between the newly promoted York City, which has undergone a major change, and the former British Championship team Charlton, which has completed a smooth transition, Charlton is more likely to win. .
Therefore, it really surprised many people to see York City leading Charlton by a score of 3-0 at half-time.
Of course, as the boss, Pan Yi didn't feel any surprise.
This was all what he expected!
These young people were originally going to explode in the next year or two. Now they are led by a few veterans and led by famous coaches. They just come to experience the English League One in advance. Is there any reason not to win?
Perhaps in other words, many outstanding youth training players from big teams already have the ability to play as the main force in the English Championship team, which is where they are often loaned.
It's just that many teams cannot accurately distinguish which of these youth training players are "excellent" or can adapt to the real professional league.
But Pan Yi knew it and could tell it apart.
Many of these people were able to play in the five major leagues and even the rich and powerful teams in their previous lives, but now they only play in English League One during the period of rising goals. Coupled with the correct tactics and usage methods given by Pan Yi, it is really a dimensionality reduction. blow.
During the halftime break, Pan Yi also came to the home team's locker room.
As the owner of the team, it is actually not a good behavior to go to the locker room before the game is over, but Pan Yi is different.
He is a boss who understands football. He can even be said to be the "Emperor" and the head coach!
Not to mention that most of the players on the team were brought by him from all over the world, and everyone admired him very much.
Therefore, as soon as Pan Yi appeared, it aroused bursts of cheers from all the players.
Pan Yi just moved a small bench and sat down aside, signaling Scaloni to continue his arrangements for the second half.
After all, the boss is the boss. If he intervenes at this time, he will not respect the head coach very much - although Scaloni does not care.
——
In the second half, York City still had the advantage.
In the 60th minute of the game, Takeyo Fuyasu made a pass from the right. Baker grabbed a shot in front of the goal. The ball was pounced by the Charlton goalkeeper and bounced up. Rice followed with a header and scored. Net, 4:0!
There was a cheering frenzy at York City Athletic Stadium.
And it's not over yet.
In the 80th minute, Karlström passed the ball through the ball. Amon countered offside and successfully shot directly, but the shot was too upright and was saved for a corner kick.
After Karlström took the corner kick, center back De Ligt jumped high and hit the header.
"The ball has been scored again! Five to zero!"
"De Ligt also scored the first official goal of his career! He was brought by Pan Yi from the Ajax youth team and spent York City's largest transfer fee this season. , 2.5 million euros.”
"Many people are confused as to why Pan Yi spent so much money on a central defender who has not proven his ability. But today's game may have given them the answer."
"As a big defender, he has good tracking speed and flexible turning movements in defense. He also has the ability to defend big centers one-on-one in terms of physical confrontation."
"What's even more valuable is that De Ligt also has excellent ball-playing ability, especially when the opponent's forward is pressing, De Ligt's ball-playing accuracy is not affected."
"Of course, this goal also reflects his good offensive level. He used his powerful header to give Charlton a fatal blow!"
In the end, the result of this game was five to zero.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, York City's West Siberian Stadium turned into a sea of joy.
Not just at the stadium, but outside the stadium, in pubs and at home, York City fans were cheering and celebrating everywhere.
The club entered the English Football League for the first time in nearly a hundred years since its establishment. They won at home, and they won a 5-0 victory.
This day and this game will surely become a beautiful memory in the hearts of many fans.
At the same time, these young players in York City's starting lineup today all performed very well, which temporarily dispelled some York City fans' doubts about the performance and abilities of these young people.
They once again expressed surprise and admiration for Pan Yi's vision of people!
The York City players were also excited and they celebrated enthusiastically on the court.
Led by captain Karlström and team vice-president Westerman, the players held hands and ran and glided to the edge of the stands to thank the fans for their support and greet them with cheers.
As the two veteran players in the team who can control the situation, Karlstrom and Westerman can actually be the captain, and they have no objection.
Just because there are more Swedes in the team, Karlström was asked to take over, and of course he is fully qualified for this responsibility.
Finally, boss Pan Yi also came to the court to celebrate with the players and coaches.
And the singing of the fans in the stands suddenly turned into another version of "Song of Pan Yi":
"Pan Yi Pan Yi, he is our boss, the boss of York City;"
"He brought us Scaloni, he brought us Baker, he brought us victory after victory;"
"He is the most handsome boss in the world and the best boss in the world!..."
——
At the post-match press conference, Charlton's head coach Carl Robinson was naturally ashamed.
As a Championship-level team, they were beaten 5-0 by York City, who came up from League Two. There was really no excuse for them.
After answering a few questions hastily, Carl Robinson couldn't stand the bombardment of reporters and slipped away.
York City head coach Scaloni received applause from all reporters as soon as he entered the field.
This young coach who led York City from League Two to League One shocked the entire League One again today!
Scaloni also first praised the performance of the players.
"Whether they are veterans or rookies, they all played at a very high level and gave the York fans watching today a very exciting game. I congratulate them."
"For example, Thomas Amang from Cameroon, he..."
Then he changed the subject and mentioned the team's owner Pan Yi.
"Here, I would like to especially thank my boss. I am very lucky that I can continue to cooperate with him. Everyone knows how happy it is to work under a boss who understands football."
"Not long after we won the European Cup together, he, as the boss, immediately started working on signings for the new season, and I didn't need to worry about it at all."
"As for the level of players he brought to me, everyone saw it today. As the best football coach in the world, he gave me a lot of advice as always and taught me how to make good use of these new players."
"It can be said that Pan Yi is not only my boss, but also my mentor and my good friend!"
"With such support, I am confident that I can lead York City to play better football this season!..."
Pan Yi, who was watching the live broadcast in the lounge at this time, also nodded lightly:
"This kid's emotional intelligence has been increasing recently..."
A week later, in the second round of English League One, York City challenged Bolton Wanderers away.
In fact, according to normal understanding, this is already a devilish start.
Because Bolton, like Charlton, was also a relegated team from the English Championship last season, but one was in the bottom one and the other was in the bottom three.
Bolton have also retained most of their main players and are working hard to get promoted back to the Championship immediately.
It is obviously very difficult for York City, a team promoted from League Two, to face two former English Championship teams at the beginning of the season.
However, due to York City's excellent performance in the first round, such a schedule does not seem so "devil".
At the pre-match press conference, Phil Parkinson, the head coach of the home team Bolton Wanderers, first praised his opponent in a formulaic manner, saying that York City played very well in the first round of the league and the team led by Scaloni was impressive. Wow, obviously they are not an easy team to play against all the time, etc.
But then, Phil Parkinson changed his tone: "But I have confidence in my team. Every year there are one or two promoted teams that make people shine, or perform well at the beginning of the season. But, to be honest, , If you want to survive in the English League One, passion alone is not enough, you still need long-term performance."
The reporter summarized Phil Parkinson's words into one sentence: We Bolton are a veteran team, this newly promoted rookie is nothing in front of us!
When the two coaches shook hands before the game, Scaloni obviously learned from Pan Yi's good style, with a humble attitude and said he would learn more from his predecessors;
The latter nodded happily, patted Scaloni on the shoulder, held his hand, and encouraged with a smile: The road is long, don’t be anxious, the future world belongs to you young people.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, boos broke out in the stands at Bolton's home stadium, the Reebok Stadium.
The young visiting team coach Scaloni raised his arms and cheered to celebrate the victory.
The frustrated head coach of the home team, Phil Parkinson, hid his face in his hands and looked shameless.
The score of this game was faithfully recorded on the team's scoreboard: Bolton 0:3 York City!
York City did not play conservatively in this game and quickly showed everyone their strong offensive strength.
Double forwards Baker and Amon each scored a goal, and vice-captain Westerman also scored a header through the header. York City once again won a big victory on the road.
A 5-0 victory at home in the first round of the league, and another 3-0 away victory in the second round. The young York City showed everyone their offensive storm.
If we say that they defeated Charlton in the first round of the league, it can also be said that York City is too mysterious, which caused Charlton to underestimate the opponent, coupled with the blessing of York City's home court;
But in the second round of the league, they defeated Bolton Wanderers, a veteran team in the English Championship and English League One, with a big score away from home, which shocked the entire English League One.
"Youth Storm in York City!"
"Pan Yi's team went crazy!"
"Pan Yi has proven that no matter what team he is on or what position he is in, he has the ability to turn stone into gold!"
Many media outlets used headlines like this to focus on reporting on this game and praised the newly promoted team.
Of course, the focus of many reports will eventually focus on York City owner Pan Yi.
Although the greatest credit for a team's victory must be attributed to the coaches and players, this time is different.
Pan Yi is always the focus of everyone's attention!
And as long as you look at his resume, you will know that York City's success is absolutely inseparable from him.
He worked as an assistant coach at AC Milan, and Milan won the Triple Crown;
He went to Hamburg as head coach, and Hamburg also won the Triple Crown;
He went to Chelsea as head coach, and Chelsea even won seven trophies and maintained an unbeaten league record for two seasons;
He went to be the head coach of the Swedish national team again, and he won the European Cup again!
Now that Pan Yi is the boss of York City, who can ignore his existence?
In one season, York City rushed from League Two to League One, and most of the main players in that team were recruited from many teams through Pan Yi's connections;
Now that York City's opening performance is so good, Pan Yi's operation in the transfer market certainly deserves full marks.
Not to mention that the current head coach of York City, Scaloni, is Pan Yi's proud disciple. Scaloni has never denied that he can always get the best guidance from Pan Yi...
"Pan Yi is the boss who knows the most about football in the world. With such a boss, York City can create any miracle!"
Such remarks by the media are obviously not exaggerated.
In the next few rounds of English League One games, York City continues to advance!
On August 17, in the third round of English League One, York City defeated Scunthorpe 3:1 at home.
On August 20, in the fourth round of English League One, York City defeated Fleetwood 2:1 away from home.
On August 27, in the fifth round of English League One, York City once again defeated Rochdale with a score of 2:1 in an away game.
They immediately won five consecutive victories!
After five rounds, they are naturally ranked first in the standings.
And closely followed by Bolton with 4 wins and 1 loss, they only lost one game to York City.
This result certainly makes all York City fans ecstatic.
In the past few weeks, the entire city of York has been plunged into a carnival atmosphere. It can be said that there is laughter and excitement everywhere!
