"You played very well and you really deserve to be the leader of the Premier League!"

As soon as the game whistle sounded, Eddie Howe came over and shook hands with Pan Yi. This was the etiquette that the game should have.

Pan Yi also smiled and nodded in agreement, and at the same time he praised from the bottom of his heart: "You have put this team together very well, and your tactics are also very unique. If I hadn't been careful, I might have caught you right from the start.

Son."

Eddie Howe also smiled and said: "Didn't you crack it? You seem to be praising me, but in fact you are praising yourself!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, a bit like a hero cherishing his hero.

"However, I am a little confused." Eddie Howe suddenly said, "You are the coach of Chelsea, so it is normal for me to study you. But I am only the head coach of a British Championship team, have you also studied me?

"

"Of course, I still know a little bit about you." Pan Yi chuckled.

"Then I'm really flattered." Eddie Howe sighed, "You attach so much importance to a Championship coach like me, then I can understand why you can become the best coach in the world at such a young age.

"

This year's Eddie Howe is actually only 37 years old, and he is an out-and-out representative of the young coach.

It stands to reason that at his age, it is already a great achievement to be able to coach a British Championship team stably, and even hope to become the head coach of a Premier League team.

As Chelsea head coach, Pan Yi certainly has no thoughts about Bournemouth;

But as the owner of York City, this English Championship team, or quasi-Premier League team, is just a big leg!

Among other things, the biggest star in the York City team right now is Zuba who is on loan from Bournemouth! His weekly salary is as high as 2,500!

Even without this benefit, Eddie Howe himself was able to learn one and a half tricks from Pan Yi, which he would use throughout his life.

Unless Pan Yi believes that Eddie Howe will coach a wealthy team in the future... then this request will have practical significance.

At this time, the right wing back and left center back will be pushed high to form a large U-shaped position in the backcourt.

Eddie Howe took Bournemouth from League Two all the way to the Championship, and finally established a foothold in the Premier League.

At this time, the two defensive midfielders returned to the front of the penalty area, and Manchester City's new ball delivery system was formed.

He showed his coaching talent here, so he also gained Pellegrini's attention, and he will be called on to provide advice in some important games.

However, for Eddie Howe, now that Pan Yi is talking like this, it really cannot be described as "flattered".

For most coaches, to study a team's style of play is basically to find their recent games, then take a look and analyze them, and that's about it.

Only in this way can this "invincible army" truly remain invincible!——

"With the current Chelsea team, it feels difficult to predict what formation they will use and what style of play they will use."

Mainly Gnabry and Lingard, two young players who were not reused by Arsenal and Manchester United respectively, immediately came to life as soon as they moved to Chelsea and have become important regular weapons for Pan Yi.

As long as there are enough friends, York City's "backup" will continue to flow. The team will definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack in the lower leagues.

Young players from teams like Bournemouth are willing to play in League One and League Two.

Besides, when Pan Yi said this, I always thought he was joking.

Even Pellegrini has a clear understanding of the characteristics and abilities of each Chelsea player...

It turns out that when Lingard was at Manchester United, his position was a bit rigid and he was unable to utilize his strong running ability, active fighting, and flexibility.

Vieira's tactic is actually similar to Pan Yi's 3-4-3.

Chelsea's recent games, especially the three Premier League games and two FA Cup games after entering the winter window, are almost the same!

Sometimes there are four wing-backs, sometimes there are no wing-backs, sometimes there are four wingers, etc. They are all things that have never been heard of or seen before.

Perhaps, all of his tricks have been cracked by Pan Yi, a terrifying creature who seems to know everything and is omnipotent.

This is not to be disrespectful, but the difference in mentality itself will affect the team's combat effectiveness.

In Chelsea, although Lingard will nominally often appear in the two winger positions, Pan Yi does not fix him there, but allows him to move freely to the center or to the side.

Fully utilizes the width of the entire attacking third.

"I hope that everyone can see more of the stability and performance of the players throughout the game, instead of just focusing on their one mistake. This is unfair to their efforts and dedication."

"So I suggest that we can try to use a 3-4-3 formation for this game." Vieira said.

"What's more, as I said just now, I don't think Zouma's red card was a mistake."

If he imparts some experience and lessons, it will obviously save you a lot of detours.

When reporters asked about Zuma who received a red card, Pan Yi also defended him.

Because one of the biggest advantages of a five-back lineup is that when a central defender is taken out of position by the opponent's striker, leaving a gap behind him, there are still two other central defenders on the defense line, which greatly reduces the risk of

The possibility of mistakes at the back, especially against a strong team like Chelsea.

It's probably a bit like a fan meeting an idol, but this idol not only has no airs, but also takes the initiative to discuss issues with fans. Wouldn't the fans faint with happiness?

Can you imagine Kunkun suddenly appearing in front of ikun and dancing that he has been practicing for two and a half years?

In short, Eddie Howe nodded hastily: "No problem. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. My phone number is..."

Usually the goalkeeper initiates a short pass, and the two central defenders will drop deep and spread out on both sides, almost in the two small corners of the small penalty area.

For example, players like Jesse Lingard and Bamford are young players from wealthy clubs. If you want to loan them out to play in a Championship team, they usually go without saying a word.

No matter how awesome you Pan Yi is, you can't possibly understand the tactics of such a newcomer, right?

He would have never imagined that Manchester City, which has always used a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation, would suddenly use the same 3-4-3 formation as Chelsea.

Just like the upcoming 23rd round.

There are rumors that Manchester City's top management has accelerated its contact with Bayern coach Guardiola. If Manchester City really makes any mistakes, Pellegrini's dismissal may be around the corner.

In the timeline of Pan Yi's previous life, if it weren't for the good relationship between Guardiola and Arteta, how could Manchester City send Jesus and Zinchenko to rival Arsenal at such a low price?

The same is true when playing FM games. If the coach has a bad relationship with you, it will be particularly difficult to buy and sell players, the price will be much higher, and they may not even talk to you at all.

In fact, some teams are already contacting Vieira, such as some major league teams and French Ligue 1 teams, hoping that he can serve as the head coach of the team.

For example, now your team has no desires and desires, and the opponent is a key battle to avoid relegation or compete for the championship, and the opponent's head coach is your good friend.

"It can be said that on paper. But when defending, there are five defenders, and the three lines are basically arranged in a 5-4-1 position." Vieira said, drawing on the tactical board.

But if the opponent is your mortal enemy at this time, or has some kind of hatred, even if the result of the game has nothing to do with you, you still have to do your best to drag your opponent into trouble!

Moreover, this kind of personal connections will also be reflected in the transfer market, because transactions between acquaintances will be fast and effective.

"You deserve the award." Pan Yi said modestly, "The achievements you have achieved at Bournemouth are not something that ordinary people can achieve. If there is a chance, can I ask you for advice?"

After all, this is a game with a red dot package!

Both of them took out their mobile phones and recorded each other.

When the league reaches a critical moment, such as winning the championship or relegation, maybe some connections can help you;

This has nothing to do with any "shady secrets", it's just a very simple connection.

"Whether it is Gnabry or Lingard, they tended to play in the attacking midfielder position in their original teams. But in Pan Yi's 3-4-3 system without an attacking midfielder, no matter what position they play

They seem to be able to adapt very well, Pan Yi is really amazing."

"I said if. Just in case." Pan Yi said again.

This game is really crucial! This is especially true for Manchester City.

This is why the young people under his command always dare to give full play to their strengths on the court, instead of being protective and passing the ball safely all day long.

Different from Chelsea's regular switch from five backs to three backs, his style of play is five backs when defending, but changes to four backs when the ball is released.

Eddie Howe was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Pan Yi's serious look, he immediately laughed:

"Oh, if that day comes, then you can choose my players, including those from the youth team." Eddie Howe patted his chest, "In the current Bournemouth, I can still do this job.

"

Especially from Pan Yi's transformation of Lingard, he could see Pan Yi's intentions and admired Pan Yi's vision very much.

Although it has not reached the point where "a scholar will die for his confidant", Eddie Howe did have a great impression of Pan Yi's approachability.

At this time, Koslas interrupted and said: "But, our regular formation is 4-2-3-1. If we play like this, will there be pressure on defense? After all, we have created a strong side, and the corresponding weak side

On the other side, we have to deal with the attacks of Chelsea Hazard and others. Especially their high-post press is not a vegetarian, and it may be difficult for us to play the ball in the backcourt."

The situation Eddie Howe faced was even worse. After all, York City had no debts, no player transfer ban, and no points deductions.

This scene was captured on television, and the commentator also sighed:

"These two young head coaches seem to be exchanging contact information. I feel that Pan Yi not only conquers opponents on the court, but also off the court. It seems that everyone is willing to make friends with him..."

But if the day comes, Eddie Howe will also thank Pan Yi for "opening his mouth" and really want to buy or rent his players.

——

At the post-match press conference, Pan Yi and Eddie Howe continued to engage in some business exchanges. Listening to their conversation, it didn't look like the two teams had just had a fierce game.

"In general, my 3-4-3 will change from the relatively intensive 5-4-1 in defense to a large U-shaped ball delivery system with 4 backs. At this moment, the inside of the left wing-back

The closing will make the overall formation more like a 4-3-3, and finally a 3-2-5 in the frontcourt."

After all, the level of competition there is relatively low, and the training facilities and training level cannot be compared with those of wealthy teams. Maybe after playing for a year or two, one's own level will decline.

After all, behind Manchester City, Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and other teams are also chasing after them. If they are not careful, they may fall out of the top four.

"In the right wing position, whether it is Bernardo Silva or Lingard, including right wing back Azpilicueta and right center back Gary Cahill, I think their comprehensive ability

They are all worse than those on the left."

But standing next to Pan Yi, he felt very small.
