Chapter 479 Buddha is not Taoist

In the major European media the next day, numerous newspapers reported on the match between Sweden and France.

Of course, the focus of each media report is different.

"Sweden defeated France 2:0 and met Portugal in the European Cup final!"

That's a relatively decent title from "The Times", which describes the content of the game, and then explains the final outcome, that is, Sweden and Portugal will compete for the final championship!

"Is that a final that will definitely create history! Is it Pan Yi, or is it Ronaldo?"

The report from L'Equipe focused on Sweden and Portugal, the two teams that reached the European Cup finals.

No matter who can win the championship in the past, it will be the first time in the history of the team. In other words, there will be a brand new European Cup champion next year.

It's a bit like before the 2010 World Cup finals. The two teams that entered the finals, Spain and the Netherlands, had never won the championship before, so that game was also called a history-making battle.

The biggest contributors to the two teams reaching the final are generally considered to be Ronaldo for the Portuguese team and Pan Yi for the Swedish team.

Of those two people who have countless fans around the world, who can lead the team to become the king of Europe?

This is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the game.

"Pan Yi reappeared as a famous coach and completely defeated Deschamps in tactics"

As a local Swedish newspaper, "Swedish Monthly", of course, it was not wrong to sing praises in that semi-final.

They believe that when the team's strength is completely inferior to that of France, Pan Yi adopts a swing formation tactic that is not common in international competitions and makes more targeted adjustments to France. If the Swedish team cannot get that

The key to a game.

"Some people who were questioning Pan Yi before the start of the European Cup must shut their big mouths now."

"They believe that Pan Yi's success at Chelsea is largely due to the support of the owner, which allows him to buy any player he wants."

"But in the Swedish team, it is obvious that Pan Yifeng cannot select and get the players he wants. In his team, there is Weinblum, but no Kante; there is Lindelof, but no Van Dijk.

"There is Guidetti, but there is no Hazard..."

"What they have is Ibrahimovic! But for such an mediocre team, Pan Yi used flexible tactics to build a winning team!"

"From Ireland, Italy, Belgium, to Spain, Germany, and France, Pan Yi has led their national teams and has defeated almost all the best teams in Europe!"

"In the process, they also saw a team that became more mature, more confident, and more motivated."

"The one in front of them now is Portugal, led by Ronaldo. They also believe that Pan Yi can definitely overcome that difficulty and win the championship!"

"But whether Pan Yi won or lost in the beginning, based on everything Pan Yi saw, he can even compete for the title of the best head coach in the history of the Swedish national team!..."

"Behind Sweden VS France, the mismatch between Eastern magic and African witchcraft"

Just by looking at the title, you can tell whether it is a product of The Sun.

In their article, they vividly described the details of the "magic return to war" between the two sides.

It started with a famous Asian midfielder from the French team who found a wizard, and then a handsome oriental coach from the Swedish team also found two eminent monks and immortals. The two sides finally met in the stands of the Marseille stadium.

Start a fierce contest.

In that battle that was invisible to ordinary people, the mysterious magic from the East had won the victory.

After all, regardless of quantity or quality, the Swedish team has an absolute advantage.

And this advantage was also reflected on the field. The Swedish team players were obviously more motivated than the French team, and they finally scored two goals and won the game.

Something went wrong in that fight during the intermission, so the venue management asked the Swedish monks and Taoist priests to leave the stadium.

But obviously, this approach did not affect the original nature of the battle.

According to some African-American French fans in the stands, even in the east half, they could still feel the powerful force of liquid coming towards the court from all directions.

"No, it must be a kind of anger! Everyone in the Dragon Kingdom has it!"

"His feeling is more like magic. He even feels the flow of chakra."

"There is no way their witchcraft can withstand such a powerful force! They are really in trouble!"

In this regard, "The Sun" even conducted a study on the Buddhism and Taoist systems of the Dragon Kingdom, and concluded that it is indeed a bit too much to let those two powerful branches of magic work together to deal with witchcraft.

Bullying!

As for the two Eastern systems, which do not seem to be the same system, they also gave their own explanations:

Buddha is not the Tao!

——

"TMD The Sun is really talented! I beg him to be considered a party, he almost believed it."

Pan Yi put down the newspaper and laughed.

"What are you laughing at, his sun?"

Valentina, who was walking on the wrong side of him, asked curiously.

"His Sun" is a famous Italian song, and the famous tenor Pavarotti often sang it.

Valentina, who is also Italian, jokingly used it to refer to her ruthless person.

Of course, it’s not because of the lyrics in that song that it’s actually quite appropriate to describe Pan Yi:

"Ah, my eyes are shining, like the sun is shining brightly..."

Pan Yi curled his lips, handed the newspaper in his lap to Valentina, and asked her to read it by herself.

Soon, she also covered her chest and laughed like a barbell.

Pan Yi stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, which would be tomorrow's breakfast.

I walked outside to have breakfast on the open-air balcony of the Manor Hotel, enjoying the direct sunlight at noon. The temperature was neither cold nor hot, just right and very comfortable.

Like every game in the past, after playing France, they returned to the base camp overnight, and the players' families were also allowed to visit the hotel.

Well, by noon tomorrow, the family members have asked to leave, because starting from noon, the Swedish team will have a tactical preparation meeting, which is a closed training session.

In other words, starting from tomorrow, Pan Yi will start preparing for the final against Portugal!

After Valentina finished laughing, she asked Pan Yi: "Since my Eastern magic is so good, will it be useful in Portugal?"

Pan Yi shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Valentina laughed again, "He thinks the effect is very good. Don't the Portuguese believe in that kind of thing?"

"Some people should believe it. He sees Benfica and Porto who also deal with those things every day. Ronaldo seems to have never heard of such beliefs..."

"Then why don't you continue?"

"His extras saw good results, so he raised the price accordingly." Pan Yi shrugged, "Their current quotation is 1,000 euros per hour."

"..." Valentina was speechless, "Then why not go grab it!"

"So, why don't they play a serious game with Portugal? The money would be worth buying me food."

Valentina came and scratched Pan Yi's nose: "You're so good. Having said that, am I prepared to make mistakes against Portugal? He thinks a team like theirs is not easy to play."

If we talk about absolute strength, Portugal is certainly not as good as France.

But Portugal has one thing that France does not have, that is they have Cristiano Ronaldo!

Having a superstar-level star can have an impact on a team. The Swedish team itself can understand it, because they also have Ibrahimovic!

Such a team, when all the players can be united around the superstar, can often burst out with amazing power.

Let me just say that in the 2022 World Cup in the previous life, was the Argentine team's absolute strength strong?

Most of their main players are just leftovers from wealthy clubs and mid-range players from the five major leagues.

But with Messi as the core and the unprecedented unity of the team, they were able to defeat many powerful opponents and win the Hercules Cup.

Does this principle also apply to the Portuguese team?

In addition, the Portuguese team's journey to the finals was also bumpy.

In the group stage, they were placed in Group F with Iceland, Hungary, and Austria, which logically speaking was not too difficult.

But first they lost 1:1 to Iceland, then 0:0 to Austria, and finally 3:3 to Hungary, and they actually tied three times in a row!

If not, Ronaldo scored twice when he missed Hungary. Portugal could not even qualify, let alone enter the final.

Even if the top two in the group could advance in previous years, Portugal's third place result in the group would have caused them to be eliminated early.

But football is not like that.

In the 1982 World Cup, Italy also managed to draw all three games in the group stage. After qualifying, it made it all the way to the final, and finally defeated West Germany to win the championship.

In the 1994 World Cup, Italy scored 4 points with one win, one draw and one loss, but the four teams actually scored the same 4 points, and Italy only finished third in the group.

It can be said that if the competition system at that time did not allow the third place in the group to have a chance to qualify, Italy would have been kicked out long ago.

Such a sluggish start did not affect Italy's subsequent journey. In the knockout rounds, Baggio began to show off his power, and he almost single-handedly brought Italy to the final.
