After defeating Manchester United 2:0, Scaloni became the absolute protagonist at the post-match press conference.

In an interview, Scaloni said that his team performed very well, perfectly executed the combat plan formulated by the coaching staff, successfully launched a surprise attack at the beginning of the game, and set the tone for the final victory in one fell swoop.

Of course, Scaloni also thanked his boss Pan Yi for his support as always.

He said: "The boss attaches great importance to this game. He discussed the tactics of the game with us very early, especially what to do at the beginning. Facts have also proved that the advice he gave me is very effective."

Seeing Scaloni become the protagonist of the press conference, Mourinho always had a gloomy face.

He has always been the protagonist, but now he has been stolen from the limelight by a head coach from a League One team, which makes him feel very depressed.

Moreover, listening to what Scaloni said, Pan Yi still deserves the credit for this game?

After trying it all, he still couldn't win over this little bastard Pan Yi. Of course, Mourinho became even more depressed.

It is a fact that the relationship between the two of them is good, but as a world-famous football coach, he can't even beat Pan Yi's command of "listening to politics behind the curtain", let alone the blow to Mourinho.

.

Due to lack of strength, they were eliminated in the Europa League group stage, which also affected their performance in the league and failed to return to the Premier League immediately.

It's not about the comparison of the strengths of the two teams, whether Manchester United will beat York City or something like that...

As for being conservative, do they think York City should play Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester United full time? That is truly a step backwards in football tactics and extremely stupid.

Ranked first is of course York City, whose final record is 31 wins, 10 draws, 5 losses and 103 points.

Whether it was against Bradford or Oldham, they adopted the strategy of three midfielders or even three midfielders plus three central defenders. This was to maximize control of York City's midfield.

When these two teams of average strength faced York City, they both seemed to know York City's fate in advance, which made York City's game particularly difficult.

The media always like to exaggerate, especially the media in Manchester and other places. They defined York City's victory over Manchester United as a victory for conservative football and thought York City's victory was ugly.

In this regard, Lineker even kindly gave Chelsea some advice, thinking that they might as well lower their posture a little to lure York City to attack, and then control the connection between the opponent's forward and midfielder.

What the coaching staff is more worried about is how to maintain the players' competitive status within this month...

Regarding Arteta's Chelsea, everyone generally believes that there is not much difference from last season, because there are no changes in the players, and there is no reason to make major changes in tactics.

It's just that it's hard to say whether Mourinho can really beat York City by then.

In second place is Sheffield United, which has been chasing closely behind. They have 30 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses, a total of 100 points.

The last team to do this was Wigan Athletic, which defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final in the 2012-2013 season.

Chelsea expanded the score in the 34th minute. Azpilicueta made a diagonal pass. Marcos Alonso's shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area hit the inside of Guzan's left leg and deflected into the net, 2:0.

However, will Chelsea really use this three-back formation like the English League One team?

Pan Yi doesn't think so.

In addition, York City is very good at catching loopholes. Through pre-match research and in-game observation, they can always find the opponent's loopholes, and then seize the loopholes to attack wave after wave to suppress the opponent.

Then he added: "Alonso could have been able, but now he is older. Such a player needs to be able to open up depth in the middle, protect the ball, and at the same time have speed, so that he can connect with us

The speed of advancement in the frontcourt.”

Middlesbrough were relegated 2 rounds early, while Chelsea won the championship 2 rounds early!

That's because, in the next game, Tottenham, which had been chasing behind them and was only four points behind, fell behind and lost to West Ham 0:1.

In the home match, York City also drew with Oldham 0:0, and the opponent was beaten to an egg-to-egg score in both rounds.

But in short, it is getting further and further away from the Premier League.

Many people are also analyzing the tactical differences between the two teams to see if these two Pan Yi disciples have any skills that they have come up with after coaching alone.

However, York City's defensive method of controlling space has surprised some experts. They think this defensive method is very interesting.

In the just-concluded Premier League match, Chelsea defeated Middlesbrough 3-0 at home.

So when it was Mourinho's turn to speak, he said angrily: "I hereby wish York City to be promoted to the Premier League quickly, so that I can give them a good beating!"

When encountering a strong enemy, at most it will be converted into a double defensive midfielder + a single front midfielder, such as Kante + Matic + Hazard, and three defensive midfielders are rarely used.

He believes that as a third-tier English league team, York City's performance can be said to be wonderful in being able to enter the FA Cup final.

After all, as a English League One team, it is not easy to reach the FA Cup final!

And if we can win the championship, it will create a record in the history of English football.

Almost overnight, the city of York became famous on the streets of the British Isles.

Lineker also described this position as the throat of York City, especially Alonso. Rice sent the shell forward and pinched it, and York City died.

——

York City's tactics were studied in newspapers by various media and professionals, and also had an impact on the team's remaining two League One games.

At the same time, Lineker also asked those who criticized York City to watch York City's games in the English League One and see what it means to be overwhelming and what it means to be a ferocious attack.

If it's not a problem that needs to be solved right now, he's not in a hurry.

But it’s still early to consider this. At present, we still need to study Chelsea first and win first!

In other words, if York City really breaks into the Premier League next season, it also depends on whether the game between Manchester United and York City is in the early or late stages...

The match resulted in a bittersweet outcome.

The gap between them and York City is only one win, which also shows that it is not that easy to stand out in League One.

After another FA Cup semi-final held the next day, not only York City, but the words "Pan Yi" frequently appeared on the front pages of major sports media.

For example, if there is a certain World Cup final between two non-traditional strong teams, such as Norway versus Colombia, then its influence will be greater than a top-tier team like France versus Brazil in the top 16.

However, after being strangled by the opponent with heavy troops in the midfield, York City's midfield back-row attack power was insufficient, which also affected the team's scoring ability.

That's what important games do.

The difference in level and rounds is bound to affect the difference in attention.

If they really win, York City will become a secondary league team representing England in the Europa League!

After their review of the English League One is over, he will participate in the tactical formulation of the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

As for York City's opponent Chelsea, they don't have this worry, because now the Premier League has played 36 rounds, which means there are still two rounds of games to end.

That's because Chelsea has also reached the final!

In the semi-finals, they tied with Manchester City 1:1 within 120, and finally defeated their opponent through a penalty shootout and entered the finals for two consecutive years!

Moreover, York City's offense is very rhythmic, with waves of attacks always coming one after another, and the space in front and behind is kept very compact.

Even the head coaches of the two teams, Scaloni and Arteta, are both Pan Yi's direct disciples, so they are in a civil war with the same school!

Such a final match certainly made the media and fans extremely excited.

And the impact of this season's failure was even more far-reaching, because in the next season they dived directly into League One!

Since then, Wigan Athletic has become a "lift" team between the English Championship and English League One. They often win first place in English League One this season and are promoted to the English Championship, and then are relegated to the English Championship the next season, and then again the next season.

Took first place and then got promoted back...

Chelsea took the lead in the 23rd minute. Hazard made a precise diagonal pass. Fabio failed to intercept. Lukaku's close shot from the left side of the penalty area passed between Guzan's legs and into the net, 1:0.

As for York City, due to their limitations in strength, they always focus on defense when facing strong teams in the FA Cup. The tactics are of course very different from Chelsea.

"I think Lineker is right. We do lack an offensive point from the middle and back row. Having this extra point can make our offense more varied and make our offense more threatening.

, but we lack such a candidate." De Zerbi analyzed.

Of course Pan Yi knew about the issues De Zerbi mentioned.

Now when there is such a meeting, he will participate, but usually he will sit in as a non-voting witness. If there is nothing particularly important, he will not speak.

If he really wants to play in the European war next season, then he will definitely have to make a large-scale signing, at least to be able to support the second to third line operations, instead of basically having one lineup to fight to the end like now.

At present, York City's three midfielders are usually configured with Alonso partnering Rice and Kulusevski, and sometimes Karlström. In addition to protecting Alonso, these players can also

Build an urn in front of the back line to strengthen the protection of the back line.

For this reason, Scaloni has also been under pressure.

This is also the result of the coordinated running of York City players. Every player is closely linked to each other and running together. Whether they are advancing or retreating, they are all very rhythmic.

During this period, they can deploy and train according to Chelsea's tactical characteristics and player characteristics.

After that play-off final, another week later on May 27, it will still be at Wembley Stadium. This season's FA Cup final will continue to be played here!

In other words, for York City, which has been promoted, they are still close to a month away from the FA Cup final.

Because this season’s English League One regular season ends on April 30, followed by the semi-finals of the home-and-away promotion play-offs held a week later, and finally the play-off playoffs held at Wembley Stadium on May 20.

The final of the competition determines the last place to go to the British Championship.

Chelsea sealed the victory in the 65th minute. During a corner kick in Seat B, a cross was passed from the right side of the penalty area. Matic stopped the ball on his chest and volleyed in front of the small penalty area. The ball then passed between Guzan's legs and entered the net, 3:0.

And when Pan Yi found out what Mourinho said in the next day's newspaper, he laughed out loud.

Ranked third to sixth are Bolton Wanderers, Scunthorpe, Fleetwood, and Bradford. These four teams will fight against each other for the last promotion spot.

But can Mourinho persist until that time?
