After the Italian team scored the second goal, the game had completely lost its suspense.
The Swedish team is already three goals behind in the total score, and there are only ten minutes left in the game.
In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible for Sweden to reverse the score, let alone reverse the Italian team, which is now playing more and more smoothly!
Pan Yi began to make substitution adjustments, first replacing Tonali with De Rossi, allowing the boy to accept the applause of the fans.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Yi replaced Bonucci with Bastoni.
As a young player who is also the focus of Pan Yi's training, Bastoni's excellent ball-playing ability can be said to be in line with Pan Yi's requirements for a central defender.
In Pan Yi's mind, he will work with Bonucci to build Italy's backcourt system in the future. If there is an opportunity, he will be given playing time to practice.
On the other side, the Swedish team's head coach Jan Andersen also used up all his substitutions, but to no avail.
This is mainly because they are too far behind. Such a gap makes the Swedish players have no confidence to recover the score.
Once the players lose confidence, any tactical adjustments and command will lose their original effect, because the players will no longer work together to win the game.
For a team, there is no more terrible failure than this!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Pan Yi smiled and greeted Jane Anderson. After the two only said a few words, the depressed Jane Anderson left.
It can be said that he was completely defeated by Pan Yi in this game, but he doesn't have to worry too much about his coaching position.
After all, he lost to Italy and Pan Yi!
Although the Swedish team is the European champion, there are really not many cards available in their hands.
Moreover, Pan Yi has never been a guy who is easily upset. The people in Sweden did not blame their head coach for losing to Pan Yi.
In this way, with the cheers of tens of thousands of Italian fans at the scene, the Italian team defeated Sweden 2:0, with a total score of 3:0, and obtained a ticket to the World Cup!
Pan Yi, on the other hand, walked directly into the court and comforted his former disciples one by one, Isaac, Guidetti, Weinblum, Ekdal, Lindelof, Granqvist...
Especially Kulusevski, the young winger from York City, was reduced to tears.
"If you can only choose one thing between winning the European Cup and entering the World Cup, which one do you choose?" Pan Yi walked up to Kulusevski, patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile.
Kulusevski was stunned, looked up and thought for a while, then replied: "Then... let's choose the European Cup winner."
"Haha..." Pan Yi laughed, "As you wish, let me help you realize your wish, Mummy Mummy! Congratulations, your wish has come true!"
Kulusevsky also burst into laughter.
Indeed, as a professional player, winning and losing are encountered every week, and winning an important competition championship is rare.
Of course every player hopes that he can play in all the important games and win all the championships, but is this possible?
As strong as Messi and Ronaldo, they can't even win the championship in the intercontinental competition (in this timeline).
Kulusevski even believes that if the European Cup championship trophy he already owns is exchanged for several Champions League trophies with Ronaldo, he is also willing.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that today's loss is not so uncomfortable.
Pan Yi brought the people of Sweden a championship trophy that they had never dared to imagine before. Even if he takes away their hope of participating in the World Cup today, what will happen?
The Swedish team has participated in more than a dozen World Cups in history, and missed one of them in exchange for a European championship. Presumably if all European teams were given the opportunity to choose, most teams would still choose the champion... … (Italy, the 2020 European Cup champion, said it was right.)
"Okay, get back on your feet right away, or if you don't play well in York City, I'll kick your ass hard with my boots!"
Pan Yi smiled and patted Kulusevski again, and then walked towards the stands.
He also wants to take the players to express his gratitude to the fans who have always supported them!
——
"I am very satisfied with the performance of the players in today's game!"
At the post-match press conference, Pan Yi's first answer when interviewed by reporters was to praise his players again.
This is also where the national team differs from the club.
Most of the club players train and compete together all the time. Sometimes if they are distracted, they still need to be beaten hard to prevent them from becoming complacent.
As for the national team, it disbands soon after the game, and the next time it gathers may be two months later, and it may not all be the same group of people, so there is no need to do so.
Therefore, if you play well, you must praise them decisively. Let them play for the national team without putting too much pressure on them, which is more conducive to their performance.
Besides, today is a good day for the Italian team to finally make it to the World Cup. There is no need to be picky at this time.
"We played very well overall in this game. Being able to penetrate the Swedish team's defense twice is a great success. For me personally, this is also a memorable game."
Immediately below, another reporter raised his right hand and stood up after receiving permission.
"In this game, Tonali first played as an attacking midfielder, then as a defensive midfielder, scored a goal, and won the best player of the match. Almost all of us felt that his running and performance in this game The breakthrough and passing are perfect. Can you evaluate him?"
Pan Yi smiled and said: "Do you think I brought him to York City just to let him experience British food?"
The reporters laughed.
"His performance is indeed very good, but I am more happy to see that the midfielder of this Italian team is close to my ideal situation. Whether it is Tonali, Barella, Verratti, or later substitutions Both Locatelli and De Rossi can complete the tasks I give them very well."
"In addition to them, Italy also has many excellent midfielders in the country, such as Jorginho, Parolo, etc. I will continue to observe them and use them for the national team."
"As for Tonali, I actually think he is far from as good as you have described and imagined."
Many reporters below were in an uproar because it didn't fit Pan Yi's "trend" of mainly praising the team and players today.
"I'm not saying this because I think he doesn't have strength and potential. On the contrary, I'm saying this because I know his potential. He can reach a higher height and realm, and he can give everyone, including fans around the world, It brings a different feeling of football, but he's not there yet."
"I often tell him that you can play better than you are now. Fortunately, he also knows this. So, he has been working hard and I will help him. I believe that in the near future, he will be A truly world-class midfielder!”
"Of course, even Tonali is very important to the current Italian team. His comprehensive attributes are the basis for our flexible transformation in the midfield!"
Pan Yi's last words completely exposed his support and trust in Tonali.
"Mr. Pan Yi, you have won three consecutive victories after taking charge of the Italian team. Your style of play is very good and your attack power is very strong. Many people are optimistic that the Italian team under your leadership can do something good. What do you think? an Italian reporter stood up and asked politely.
Pan Yi thought for a while and smiled slightly: "I once said that I hope to lead the Italian national team to win the World Cup, but now this group of young people is still far behind the 2006 world champion team. We still need to work harder.”
The reporters nodded.
Everyone knows the lineup when Italy won the 2006 World Cup. Indeed, in terms of overall player strength and reputation, the current Italian team cannot compare.
"In the last two World Cups we've been eliminated at the group stage and I don't think we'll be that disappointing again."
The faces of the Italian reporters present were all sad.
After winning the championship in 2006, they fell in the group stage in 2010 and 2014. If it happened once, it could be said to be an accident, but twice in a row, there is a problem.
Including this year, if Pan Yi had not been invited to put out the fire in time and play against this Swedish team with such a tough defense, would Ventura really have a way to win against the opponent?
"We need to get back some things from the past and let this young Italian national team fight like they did in 2006!"
Back then, in fact, although the Italian team was full of stars, no one was optimistic about them.
The reason was that the Calciopoli scandal broke out at that time, and the entire Italian football world was in a state of chaos. Many members of the national team were also involved, and their future was uncertain, which would definitely have an impact on morale.
But they endured this huge pressure, fought hard one game after another, and successfully won the championship after defeating the host Germany and the French team led by Zidane, inspiring all Italians.
"Fighting spirit, will, ambition and goals, these are the qualities that my players must have. As long as they can continue to mature psychologically, I am confident that I can lead them to achieve good results in the 2018 World Cup!"
Most people agree with Pan Yi's words.
After all, everyone has seen the changes that have taken place in the Italian team since he led the team. Even if someone has any different opinions, they cannot refute them at this time.
Moreover, Pan Yi also brought constant victories to the Italian team!
A very important foundation for establishing the temperament and soul core of a team is performance, or victory!
This is a very real phenomenon in all competitive sports.
Only by winning games and honors can you be qualified to talk about the temperament and soul of the team. Are there any teams that have failed?
Failure will cause the team's people to be distracted. Once people's hearts are dispersed, any spirit and tradition will be nonsense.
When your team becomes accustomed to losing, you will become a weakling that is bullied by others, a complete helper team!
Therefore, Pan Yi also knows very clearly that if he wants to improve the spirit and fighting spirit of the Italian team, it does not rely on a few words or words, but to achieve outstanding results.
On the basis of excellent results, build the team's spirit step by step, and then this spirit can in turn help the team create good results!
This is a virtuous cycle.
——
Italy defeated Sweden 2-0 at home!
Italy defeated Sweden with a total score of 3:0 and entered the 2018 World Cup finals!
Insigne and Tonali contributed to the team, and both the new and old players performed well!
…
The next day, the headlines of major Italian and European newspapers carried the news of the Italian team's 2:0 victory over Sweden. Gazzetta dello Sport also quoted an interview with Swedish head coach Jan Andersen.
The native Swedish coach admitted that Sweden was convinced that he lost in this game.
He believes that the Italian team is superior in terms of overall strength and tactical execution. There is obviously a certain gap among Swedish players. However, he also said that Sweden will not be affected by this defeat. He firmly believes that the team will become better and better in the future. The better.
"The thing that impressed me most about this game was Tonali. We lost to a player of great quality who gave a world-class performance."
When Jane Anderson talked about Tonali, the best player in the game, he bluntly said that Tonali is phenomenal.
"I think what's more amazing is that such an excellent player still plays for a British Championship team. Of course, when I learned that the owner of this British Championship team is Pan Yi, I was relieved."
"York City contributed five international players to the Italian national team, and they all performed well. Considering that Pan Yi was not the head coach of the Italian national team at that time, I can only say that the world's number one coach really has a long-term vision. .”
"Of course, as a Swede, I also want to thank him for bringing young players like Isaac and Kulusevski to the national team, otherwise we would not have won the European championship."
"Ah, yes, we have to talk about this game. In short, I have nothing to complain about losing. They really played well and deserved to win."
"Finally, I wish them good luck in the World Cup!"
In fact, what Jane Anderson said is also a question that many media and fans have asked before, that is, Pan Yi recruited five Italian new stars before the start of this season, and then played very well in York City.
That's okay, after all, Pan Yi discovers many young players every season and cultivates them into talents, which is not surprising.
But Pan Yi is now the head coach of the Italian national team, and these five Italians have also entered the national team and performed well. This is too prophetic!
"Pan Yi is a time traveler!"
Such a statement has even become a hot search!
Of course, no one believes this statement, it is just for everyone to express their admiration for Pan Yi's magical ability.
After these two games against Sweden, no one has any objection to any British Championship players entering the national team.
One advantage of this is that no one will criticize the current Italian team. To a certain extent, this also creates a relaxed environment for players to play and perform.
Another thing that Pan Yi is highly recognized for is that he attaches great importance to rejuvenation and upgrading. Everyone is also happy to see young players running passionately on the court and fighting for the country.
Generally speaking, after the Italian national team entered the World Cup, Pan Yi's reputation around the world has reached a new level, especially in Italy!
——
For Pan Yi, the affairs of the Italian national team have to take a break for the time being, especially this year.
Because the next national team match day will be in March next year, the Italian Football Association has contacted the Argentine Football Association and is preparing to play a friendly match with them to prepare for the World Cup.
This is also the relatively "boring" part of being a national team head coach, that is, there are too few games!
Mourinho once complained that a workaholic like him really cannot be the head coach of the national team.
But this is an advantage for Pan Yi.
Fishing reasonably and legally!
I usually stay in Yorkshire, and when I have nothing to do, I use the public funds of the Italian Football Association to go to various places to inspect the performance of the international football players, and then take a trip to relax. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Valentina is also happy.
Of course, Pan Yi's focus is still on York City. After all, this is his own team!
After returning from the national team, the team soon ushered in the game against Sunderland.
This team has been in the Premier League for many years. Although it was relegated last season, it still has strength.
York City's starting lineup has made certain adjustments in this game, mainly to give players who have played more frequently during national team matches a rest, such as Tonali, Barrera, and Kulusevski.
But at the beginning of the game, York City took the lead in launching an offensive.
Lin Liangming, who played on the right wing today, ran frequently on the wing, especially with several clever dribblings, which frequently created threats for his teammates.
In the 14th minute of the first half, it was his sudden inward cut that tripped him at the edge of the penalty area, helping the team get a free kick in the frontcourt.
A free kick was taken, Baker made a header, and Aman scored a goal, 1:0!
After taking the lead, Sunderland played more fiercely than before. Especially when attacking, they invested more troops and frequently threatened York City's goal.
But today's central defender partnership of Tomori and Saliba also performed very well. The former was as calm as ever, and the latter also replaced De Ligt's role well.
Although the young man now has the same problems as De Ligt, that is, he is not calm enough and a little irritable, his overall performance is still good, with several key steals and header clearances.
Behind them, Onana also made several beautiful saves to keep the goal.
During the halftime break, Scaloni made certain adjustments to his tactics. With Sunderland focusing on guarding Lin Liangming and Aman, he asked Kvalac Helija to take on more offensive responsibilities, which should be more important. Lots of running.
After the start of the second half, Kvalac Helia's performance really improved a lot.
The team mainly attacks the left wing, and as a left winger, he frequently performs exquisite passing plays, constantly attacking Sunderland's defense, creating a great threat.
For the sake of the players' physical fitness, Scaloni quickly replaced Amang with Leo and Lin Liangming with Huang Zichang.
This is mainly because Amon and Lin Liangming are also players of their respective national teams. Although they played less time on the national team match day, they are far away from the European continent after all, and the journey is tiring.
The same is true for Leo and Huang Zichang. They just rotate with the two starting players to balance their physical fitness.
After two players with relatively sufficient physical fitness came on the court, York City's offense also improved more.
The pressure on Kvaratskhelia is also less, and his performance is getting better and better. Especially in the 78th minute, when he faced a double-team defense by three opponents near the corner of the penalty area, he just used his personal skills to get rid of it. He fought his way into the penalty area, causing the opponent's defensive players to foul and get a penalty kick.
The York City fans in the stands were completely conquered by Kvalac Helia, especially his ability to defeat three people this time. It was really explosive!
Originally, the team's first penalty kicker was Baker, but as the latter was walking to the penalty spot, he suddenly called Kvaratschlija over and signaled that he would take the penalty kick.
"You create the penalty yourself, take it yourself!"
Kvaratskhelia was a little surprised, but he still followed Baker's instructions and stood in front of the penalty spot.
One by one, teammates came over to encourage Kvaratschlija.
This Georgian youngster performed well in this game, and he worked very hard and worked very hard in training. This made his teammates have a good impression of him. If he can score a goal at this time, his game will be complete. !
"Don't worry, you can do it!" Baker said with a smile.
Kvaratskhelia nodded gratefully at Baker.
Baker is currently competing for the top scorer in the English Championship, striving to achieve three consecutive top scorers in League Two, League One and the Championship. Under such circumstances, he was very touched by giving him a point.
Kvalackhelia let out a breath, then took a few steps back, ran slowly, then suddenly accelerated, raised his leg, and shot!
The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper misjudged the direction and pounced to the left.
After scoring the goal, Kvalac Helia was very excited. He turned around and ran to hug Baker: "Thank you!"
Baker also smiled: "It's all your own performance. Thank me for doing it?"
After scoring the goal, Kvarackhelia was full of confidence and performed even better.
He completely destroyed Sunderland's left wing. Even if the opponent sent someone to mark him, he still couldn't stop Kvaratschlija's outstanding performance.
In the 85th minute, after Kvarackhelia performed a light pass on the left, he entered the penalty area and attacked Baker and scored a goal, which was also a return of favor.
3:0!
It was originally thought to be a very difficult game, but York City proved its strength with a complete victory.
In particular, Kvaratshelia, a deft Georgian player, performed very well in the game and was elected the best player of the game.
Obviously, York City, which has a strong lineup this season, has not been affected by the national team match day and continues to advance in the league!
