Chapter 443 The fifth championship of the season!

On the morning of April 16th, Cobham training base.

A so handsome Aston Martin flew from a distance and slowly stopped at the entrance of the training base.

The driver's side window rolled down, revealing a face so handsome that it was none other than Pan Yi.

A smile appeared on his face and he looked 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, I'm going to win the championship soon, so I 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 talks about "winning the championship", he refers to 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 probably step on the head of their rivals in the same city and get on the championship podium!

There is nothing more exciting than this.

Therefore, Pan Yi also wants 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 through the gate, and it turned out to be 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 out of the car.

He is an assistant coach, and he will be in charge of 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 implement it.

As for physical recovery and adjusting the players' physical condition, of course it is left to Pintus or Wolfat.

In this way, he would have more time to study tactics.

Of course, everyone has no objections to this arrangement.

There are specializations in the art industry, and that's how it should be.

"We are 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, I won the championship with ease."

The two joked and walked side by side towards the first team training building.

At this time, some personnel had 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 of course 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's form so far this season is pretty good. 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.

Defeating Tottenham and winning the championship 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 were not done well last time."

"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 Pan Yi was 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's ultimate goal is to win seven crowns. On any front or in any game, they have to fight with twelve points of spirit. This obviously makes the difficulty 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, Leicester City's performance this season has been extremely stable, even putting greater pressure on Chelsea than the BIG6 last season.

For example, after 33 rounds, Arsenal, which was 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 features a youth storm this season, with 19-year-old Alli, 21-year-old Dier, 23-year-old Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Lamela, and 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 to enter the Champions League next season.

However, Arsenal, who are behind them, has 61 points, and Manchester City, who are fifth and sixth, 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 -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 who took the lead to pose a threat.

In the fifth minute, Lukaku received an overhead pass from Seat B. After he entered the penalty area, he shot through Tottenham goalkeeper Lori's goal, but the linesman signaled that Lukaku was offside when he started.

The ball is invalid.

This caused the Stamford Bridge stadium to burst into boos, 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 break through Azpilicueta one-on-one 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 took 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 wing 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 launching 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.
