Chapter 335 Is it okay to surrender directly?

The Premier League has completely become Pan Yi’s one-man show!

If there were still people who didn't want to believe it before, now they have to admit this fact.

This match at Anfield in the 11th round of the Premier League once again proved this point.

Liverpool lost to Chelsea 1:3 at home.

Although Pan Yi's team did not continue the offensive storm that scored a flood of goals before, they still took their time when facing Liverpool when they fell behind. In the end, they scored three goals in a row and escaped from Anfield.

Even Liverpool legend Carragher admitted: "Chelsea deserved these three points tonight, they performed even better."

"The composure and stability they showed when they fell behind are something you can't see in most teams."

"If you don't look at the score, you can't even tell that they are a team that trailed for most of the game!"

"Such confidence and temperament also make Chelsea more unstoppable. I really think that the suspense of the Premier League championship this season is completely gone..."

Carragher said this, on the one hand, because Chelsea's performance is indeed good, and on the other hand, the strong players continue to be defeated.

Everyone knows that Dortmund's situation in the Bundesliga is worrying.

West Bromwich Albion is a relegation team. If you ask them to go to an away game to compete with Chelsea to get points, it is really a bit overwhelming.

Although in Group G where they are located, Chelsea has been riding high and maintained a complete victory, but this has also caused Dortmund's other competitors to have a difficult time.

That's Borussia Dortmund's head coach Klopp.

Although his condition has declined now, he can still play an important role in the current Dortmund team.

The last time they played Liverpool, Chelsea played steady in the first half, and it was almost the same reason.

Fatigue and injuries caused by multi-line operations, including unstable status, often become the beginning of a team's collapse.

If he hadn't worked hard in Dortmund for many years and had "hard currency" such as the Bundesliga championship and the Champions League runner-up, he would have been ousted by the fans long ago.

This is why many games have a "testing" phase at the beginning, where you are adapting to your opponent and your teammates.

And now if we can score points against Chelsea, it will not just be as simple as qualifying for the Champions League.

Manchester City was tied 2:2 by Queens Park Rangers in an away game, and Arsenal even lost to Swansea 1:2 in an away game!

For example, BIG6 has lost games in these rounds. Is it really because they are not as good as those small and medium-sized teams? This is of course impossible.

Only about 30 seconds into the game, Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa fired a furious shot from outside the penalty area, but Cech saved it steadily.

And although everyone doesn't know what Pan Yi's mentality was when losing to York City, it is obvious that such a loss currently seems to have more advantages than disadvantages.

"You also saw how we played against Tottenham and Manchester United. We really worked hard to win, and we really drew with Manchester United and defeated Tottenham. But this Chelsea, I'm sorry, I

There is really no hope of defeating them."

This kind of dispute has even become more popular than the highlight of this round, Arsenal's home game against Manchester United.

"Attack him, maybe you can steal a three-pointer, and qualifying will be more stable!"

——

November 26, Westfalenstadion.

Under such tremendous pressure, it is entirely possible that Klopp wants to give it a go.

If the strong teams cannot regain their form in time, the British land will really be in chaos this season!

"The Times" also mentioned that originally everyone thought that Chelsea's state might have a bigger ups and downs when the Christmas schedule came.

That is, Chelsea also won the Champions League group stage easily!

They secured the first place in the group early, so they don't have to fight hard every game like other teams.

And today's Chelsea, just as Klopp expected, sent out a rotating lineup.

But Dortmund is actually a bit dangerous.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Dortmund, playing at home, took the lead in launching a fierce attack on Chelsea.

If he can win, he might be able to improve his performance in the Bundesliga.

It's just that these players certainly don't have as much time to work together as the main players. It was indeed a bit difficult to be rushed by Dortmund at the beginning.

In other words, he is looking for opportunities in constant movement and cooperation, especially in the process of switching from defense to offense, and uses the most reasonable and efficient way to lead the offense.

And the Dortmund players did the same.

After Dortmund lost to Chelsea 0:3, they achieved one win and one draw in the two rounds with Sporting CP, which also placed them in second place after four rounds with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.

.

Due to his thin body and relatively weak confrontation, Shinji Kagawa has not been fully reused by Klopp since his return to Dortmund from his unsuccessful Premier League journey.

Chelsea's strength this season has caused many teams to shrink their heads when encountering the Blues. Chelsea basically presses heavily to attack their opponents, and they don't really have many counterattacks.

Because under Klopp, Dortmund's players are not only physical, technical, and fast, but also focus on fast-paced midfield, passing, and small coordination, which matches Shinji Kagawa's style very well.

3 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses, only 11 points!

This result can only rank 16th among the 18 Bundesliga teams, which is the third from the bottom.

The two sides are at loggerheads. The father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right. No one can convince the other.

"Beat Chelsea? At Stamford Bridge? Are you kidding me? This is something that even teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool can't do."

Yes, the first place in this group is Chelsea with 12 points, and the second place is Dortmund with 5 points.

Therefore, many people believe that other strong teams should calm down and compete for the top four.

For strong teams, due to national team competitions and European competitions, there are already many competitions, and players are more susceptible to fatigue.

Manchester United first forced Arsenal defender Gibbs to score an own goal, and then Rooney sealed the victory with a goal in the 85th minute.

Many times it is the sequelae caused by multi-front operations.

Di Maria, Robin van Persie, and Rooney became the three arrows, while Luke Shaw and Valencia served as wing-backs, and the double midfielder was Fellaini + Carrick.

Therefore, Klopp has made up his mind.

Besides, Chelsea has now firmly qualified as the first in the group. With Pan Yi's urine, they will inevitably carry out large-scale rotations in such a game that is insignificant to them, and even experiment with new formations and new plays.

Law.

"We still have to fight." Klopp gritted his teeth.

From the first shot after the opening, to their active pressure on Chelsea, and at the same time actively looking for opportunities to counterattack, you can see Klopp's intention.

Opponents believe that if every team is like West Bromwich Albion and surrenders automatically when seeing Chelsea, it will always be promoted as "the most competitive" and "the middle and lower-tier teams are not easy to deal with."

Doesn’t the Premier League live up to its name?

Dortmund's results have kept Klopp at the forefront of public opinion, and he was almost dismissed.

The pressure on Klopp is really understandable.

When Pan Yi sat back on the coaching bench, Scaloni said with a bit of disdain: "It's just because we are rotating the lineup today that we dare to do this? There are really not many teams in European football who dare to do this..."

Dortmund's remaining two games are one against Chelsea and one against Roma.

The BIG6 that performed best in this round was Manchester United. They defeated Crystal Palace 1:0 at home. Mata scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute.

Otherwise, I will have no choice but to take the blame and resign.

This change of formation also made Professor Wenger a little uncomfortable with it, and as a result, they lost 1:2 at home.

Although winning West Bromwich Albion would mean that the opponent is invincible and can win without a fight, Pan Yi still doesn't want to make his players work too hard.

In this game, Van Gaal did not use a large circle tactic, but resorted to a 3-4-3 formation that seemed somewhat similar to Pan Yi's formation.

"Take it back, don't worry, stabilize your defense first!"

"Must go all out in every game? Haha, if I get dismissed because of failure to avoid relegation, will you support me?..."

Because if Roma fails to win against Sporting CP this round, even if Dortmund loses to Roma in the final group stage, they can still qualify from the group!

Even if it is the same lineup, it will take time to adjust on the field when facing different opponents' different tactics.

But at this time, Klopp was unable to change his mind in time to adjust, which resulted in Dortmund losing consecutive games and falling into the relegation zone.

Under the control of Pan Yi, this team, which seemed a bit too young, actually performed at the peak of its debut, seizing the lead in the Premier League standings from the first round, and then never moved back.

.

So why hasn't Chelsea been affected?

Today's Chelsea lineup is relatively raw, and it will take more time to adapt to Dortmund's impact.

Should we compete with Chelsea, or should we save our energy to compete with Roma?

The problem is, if we can score at least 1 point against Chelsea by taking advantage of our home court, we can occupy a very advantageous position in this group.

The breathtaking yellow waves of the South Stand dance again, and the fifth round of the Champions League Group G match between Dortmund and Chelsea has begun.

Moreover, what if Chelsea lost one or two games due to negligence?

It's just that the winning streak has been terminated, but their advantage in the standings is still unshakable.
To be continued...
