Chapter 314: Extraordinary like Messi, shooting Heskey
"They play a traditional 442 formation, and when we are guarding their two forwards, we must pay attention to guarding Gudjohnsen's shot. As for the other forward... just pay attention to blocking his passing route.
, let him shoot."
Pan Yi said this at the pre-match preparation meeting for the League Cup.
Although Bolton is only a British Championship team and there is still a certain gap between them and Chelsea in terms of strength, Pan Yi still carefully arranged his tasks for the coach and players and laid out meticulous tactical details.
After all, in English football, there are many strong teams that have overturned in the League Cup and FA Cup.
Therefore, even if facing a weak team, Pan Yi still cannot underestimate the enemy too much.
It's just that when he talked about the defense against the forwards, he said the above words.
This is actually a relatively rare phenomenon.
After all, most people who can play forward have their own attainments in shooting. How could Pan Yi let him shoot?
Unless his name is Husky.
The famous former England international!
This is a figure who made Sterling cry when he heard it and Werner shook his head when he saw it. He is the ancestor of "happy football".
Extraordinary like Messi, shooting Husky!
Whenever there is a star who excels on the court and whose final shot is so weak, fans will apply this sentence to him;
Moreover, both Ake and Zouma have played for a relatively long time in previous games, but this is the first time for Christensen to start in an official game on behalf of Chelsea!
And this goal is a full reflection of his relaxed mentality and good performance.
For a forward who can score one goal every five or six games on average, let him play freely!
——
On the evening of September 25th, Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Zuma also nodded to his head coach to express that he heard it.
Therefore, under Mourinho's system, Salah, who is not really qualified to work as a winger, habitually receives the ball in the middle, and the effect of holding the ball behind his back is not good.
When the game reached the 15th minute, Cancelo failed to defend his opponent immediately. Bolton made a diagonal pass from the right, and Heskey stepped in to receive the ball.
Therefore, this seemingly ordinary League Cup match is hard to get a ticket!
On the first day of ticket sales, more than 40,000 tickets were sold out, and there were even many fans who couldn't get tickets and were looking for scalpers to ask for a ticket.
"Okay, take your time, that's it, don't be in a hurry, control the ball first and stabilize the rhythm."
And no one will remember the names of those players who have great potential but have not yet developed.
For example, whether the coach appreciates it, whether the game training is enough, whether the tactics are suitable, whether the position is played smoothly and other issues, etc., have resulted in some of them needing to experience more teams and time to hone.
growing up.
Chelsea, on the other hand, got better and better as they fought. In the 67th minute and the 84th minute, Cancelo and Schürrle scored a goal each.
But center backs are like this. They need to practice in many games, sum up experience and lessons from constant conceding, and then grow step by step.
Therefore, he decided to persuade Heskey to participate in the team training tomorrow.
After all, he is the most famous Tarzan Beidou among England fans!
Who wouldn't want to witness his shooting performance from the stands again?
"Today we used this lineup less in previous games, and the coordination between the players was a little worse, so we encountered some difficulties after the start."
Higuita (Colombia): 8 goals in 68 games
Chelsea, who were drawn as the home team, faced Bolton at home.
"But I am very pleased that they quickly adjusted their state and then proved their ability by scoring goals."
In the comprehensive interview area after the game, Pan Yi was interviewed by reporters from English and European media.
Although it was only a third-round match of the League Cup, and although the opponent was only a British Championship team, the game still attracted tens of thousands of fans to watch.
Even the starting goalkeeper was replaced by veteran Cech.
At this time, Christensen quickly stood in front of Heskey and blocked the angle of his shot.
…
Finally, Pan Yi shouted to the audience, and everyone nodded to express that they had received it!
——
Although Gudjohnsen's goal just now made the Chelsea fans at the scene not too happy, they still gave the old player their own applause.
The midfield and backcourt control the ball and move it more smoothly, making it difficult for Bolton players who are technically inferior to Chelsea to grab the ball.
So he was still a little nervous.
At this time, the Bolton players on the pitch were celebrating a goal, so Christensen heard the shouts and saw the coach waving to him, and immediately ran out quickly.
Otherwise, why do center backs always grow up later than forwards?
Forwards play more with talent and agility, while defenders need more discipline and experience.
"Remember, stay calm and try to control the ball when you get it. If you are not sure, try to pass less forward and more to both sides. When defending, you still have to pay attention to cutting off their passes.
The ball route, other things just follow the usual training.”
There are also many people who conduct game simulations to create players with potential like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and let them develop freely in the Dragon Country. In the end, they can only reach the level of the Dragon Country national team.
The lyrics of this song eventually became the title of Husky's autobiography.
Children can be taught!
Christensen's performance before the goal showed that he was no longer nervous mentally and could better participate in the game.
At this time, another Bolton central defender, Devitt, rushed over and directly made a tackle to destroy the ball out of the baseline.
After equalizing the score, Chelsea's players obviously became more confident.
In the 30th minute of the game, Schürrle dropped back to meet Christensen. When he received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, the opponent's defender Riem was closely behind him.
Gudjohnsen has always had a relatively high status in the hearts of Chelsea fans, so this is also his trip home, and Blues fans naturally want to bless this former player at Stamford Bridge.
Take, for example, Salah.
Although this was only a goal in a League Cup match, it was Christensen's first goal on behalf of the first team!
As a central defender, scoring a goal is relatively rare, let alone the first one!
1. Goalkeeper Green trained for 3 hours today and faced 4,000 shots without conceding a single goal.
At this rate, I should call Torres White Husky.
This may be the most famous player in Icelandic history. In 1998, he joined Bolton Wanderers who were still in the Premier League at the time.
Every one of their players knows very well that in this game they are facing Chelsea and Pan Yi, the most popular coach in the Premier League or the world.
Later, Salah went to Serie A and played with confidence. Especially after being bought by Klopp to Liverpool, his characteristics were fully utilized and he truly became a world-class star.
Especially on the defense line, Pan Yi sent out an "18-year-old young boy combination" like Ake, Zouma, and Christensen. There were also many problems in the relationship with Cech, which made Chelsea
had a bad start.
At this time, the British fans who traveled with the team sang loudly in praise of their heroes after the game.
Salah is actually quite lucky. After all, there are many talented players who have perished in various hardships.
But the moment the German received the ball, he suddenly stopped and turned around to get rid of him. After getting rid of Ream, he suddenly rushed forward with the ball.
When Pan Yi said this, he certainly had his own confidence.
2. The efficiency of the Husky national team is not inferior to that of the two legends. How dare you be such a shooter?
Of course, you should not imitate him when it comes to shooting. If it really develops like that, Pan Yi will probably hold his head and pull his hair on the court every day, and eventually he will be like a bald man.
At this time, Christensen, who had already rushed into the penalty area, seized the most advantageous position in advance and headed the goal from close range!
Bolton goalkeeper Bogdan was unable to react at all, and the ball hit the net directly!
He then played for Chelsea for six seasons until Barcelona bought him.
After all, Heskey is 36 years old today, and he has watched one less game.
Chilavert (Paraguay): 8 goals in 74 games
Anyone who has played FM games will know that there may be many players in the world who have high potential and may grow into world-class superstars, but in the end they can only play in ordinary small leagues, or even give up midway.
Including goalkeepers.
"It's very important for Chelsea. I need all the players to be in good shape and available when I need them."
Christensen nodded again, "I understand, boss!"
Then Heskey had no choice but to take a shot under the "watches" of Ake, Christensen and others. As a result, the ball was either hit into the stands, or the ball was hit weakly and was easily confiscated by Cech.
"Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Think carefully about what I said in the pre-game preparation meeting, and don't panic."
The referee's whistle sounded when the goal was valid, and the whole audience cheered!
One to one!
In September 2001, England defeated Germany 5:1 away in the World Cup qualifiers.
Otherwise, he would not have left Chelsea and played as the main player for Arsenal for several years in the future.
Gudjohnsen stepped in from behind and scored before Zouma could clear the ball, opening the scoring for Bolton!
"Didn't I tell you earlier? You should focus on Heskey's passing route instead of blocking his shot! Where did your ears go?"
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Bolton began to consciously strengthen its defense, hoping to defeat Chelsea's counterattack.
But when Zouma saw the ball coming, he just wanted to make a clearance as soon as possible, so the flexible Gudjohnsen shot first.
430 million+ Husky?
In this way, Sunderland accepted Bent's offer of 24 million pounds.
Only three minutes had passed since their equalizing goal. Christensen launched the attack with a long pass. He moved the ball to the wing. Cancelo took the ball and cut in and crossed. Ramirez stepped in and volleyed.
Scored Bolton's goal again!
"He is good at taking the initiative, continuously defending to eliminate threats, and at the same time defending with his front foot instead of recklessly changing speeds and tackling. This is also one of the characteristics of his defensive intelligence."
Bolton were stunned by Chelsea's fiercer offensive. By the time they finally woke up, the first half was over.
In the following 01/02 Premier League season, he scored 14 league goals, while Hasselbaink had 23.
Bolton tried to press several times but failed to achieve any results, but Chelsea's offense became sharper every time.
The German fans who were originally very sad actually turned from sadness to joy when they heard this song, and even joined in the chorus.
"He is a proactive defender, not a passive defender. To put it simply, he is an active central defender, not a deep-lying central defender."
However, why can a striker of this level have a place in the England national team despite being coached by seven different coaches?
It's because he is willing to be a green leaf and a wingman.
As long as they can defeat Chelsea and Pan Yi, what awaits them will be the opportunity to become famous!
"You continue to kick your ass hard, but if you forget the key points I explained before, be careful and I will kick your ass hard!"
Even in Heskey's fulcrum role and assists, Pan Yi hopes that Lukaku can be as good as him.
"I can say that all he lacks is experience. Fortunately, he is only 18 years old and he has enough time to grow."
In this life, after Pan Yi's guidance, do you have to take a few more detours and go directly to become a world-class central defender?
"And his skills are also very good. He can observe the position of his teammates on the field and make accurate passes."
He is 35 years old this year, and like Heskey, he is still playing in the British Championship.
Even veterans like Gudjohnsen and Heskey, of course, they also hope to be remembered by more fans at the end of their careers!
"Good players can always create better situations from static possession, and in these examples, Christensen has performed well."
Although Cech, as a traditional goalkeeper, cannot meet Pan Yi's requirements in terms of controlling the range of the court and making short passes, he is still a very good goalkeeper now.
Originally, I was a little slow and hesitant in passing and receiving the ball, but now I play very concisely and very efficiently. I usually catch the ball with one kick and release the ball with the other kick.
After all, he is still an 18-year-old kid!
He is even younger than Ake and Zouma, who also started today.
And Ake, Zouma, including Cancelo, Schurrle and others on both sides will also actively retreat to move around Christensen.
Winning all five Premier League games and defeating Dortmund in the Champions League has made everyone at Chelsea look forward to this new Blues team.
Even though this game was scheduled to be held in the evening, many fans had flocked to the Stamford Bridge stadium since the morning.
Pan Yi also spoke highly of Christensen, who started the game and opened the scoring.
In particular, it was difficult for Gudjohnsen to have a chance to shoot. He could only pass the ball to Heskey on the other side.
Heskey (England): 7 goals in 62 games
However, they were not praising Michael Owen, the golden boy who scored a hat-trick in this game, but Heskey, who scored the last goal.
In his previous life, Christensen was also a player who played at Chelsea and Barcelona, and his abilities were there.
Although this sentence is reserved for Dragon Kingdom fans, complaining about Husky's shooting skills is not exclusive to Dragon Kingdom fans.
"In addition to his corner kick goal, his long pass to Cancelo also created a scoring opportunity."
"Oh yeah oh yeah, Husky still can't score! Hahahaha!"
"Go." Pan Yi patted him on the back and sent him back to the court.
Pan Yi on the sidelines smiled.
Chelsea corner kick.
Although Christensen failed to prevent Heskey's pass just now, there was still a chance to make amends.
He scored 7 goals in 62 games for the national team and 110 goals in 516 games in the Premier League... With such a scoring efficiency, he should have been a name that most young fans would not remember at all.
This incidentally also expresses admiration for Messi's dribbling skills and ridicules Heskey's shooting ability.
"He is a very good defender and he can bring a lot of help to the team."
Even though he has retired for many years now, his legend is still circulating in the world.
"I have reason to believe that he can grow into a world-class central defender in the future!"
"Okay, that's it, keep this rhythm and keep playing like this." Pan Yi applauded and shouted from the sidelines.
The tragic defeat to their old enemy made the German fans at the scene very frustrated.
"Christensen! What are you doing?"
From a certain perspective, Heskey is actually somewhat similar to Romelu Lukaku in Chelsea's current team.
In short, it is for this reason that Pan Yi asked his players to pay more attention to blocking Heskey's passing route during the game, and not to worry too much about his shooting.
The third reason is Gudjohnsen.
He is a typical auxiliary hero. He has fed Owen from a young boy to a golden ball player. He has also received 53 Premier League assists, which is the same as Robin van Persie, and is only two less than Scholes.
In addition, the players who started today spent relatively little time working together, which made Chelsea's cooperation a little jerky after the start.
In addition, he was playing the most important position in the middle of the three central defenders today, and his cooperation with his teammates was not tacit enough, which made him a little at a loss.
This made Mourinho's impression of him worse and worse, and he played fewer and fewer games in the end. Under a vicious cycle, it became impossible for Salah to play.
Who doesn't like to see more beautiful goals in the stadium?
When he was at Chelsea, he was no longer a traditional winger. He was more of a forward who moved on the wing, and was even a bit like a No. 10. In today's terms, he was an inside forward.
There is of course an inevitable reason for this.
So this season, although Pan Yi will reuse Courtois, he will still use Cech in relatively unimportant games such as the League Cup and FA Cup.
He even published an autobiography many years after his retirement, and the title of the book is "Even Heskey Scored".
The existence of Husky can even "unite" British and German fans.
Due to his outstanding performance at Bolton, he was poached by Chelsea two years later and formed a strong strike partner with Dutch striker Hasselbaink.
This can also form a competitive relationship between goalkeepers. After all, there is such a world-class goalkeeper as his substitute. If Courtois, as the main player, does not train hard, he may be replaced!
However, due to the different characteristics between Cech and Courtois, there has been a slight change in the conduction tactics and habits in the backcourt;
That is, if Zuma can make better use of his physical advantage and keep Gudjohnsen behind him, it will be difficult for the Icelander to have a good posture to exert force. Even if he succeeds in shooting, it will easily be high due to technical deformation.
Or miss.
As Christensen gradually enters his role, and there are teammates around him to support him at any time, Chelsea's midfield and backcourt passing and control gradually become smoother.
As soon as the midfield and backcourt took advantage, Chelsea's powerful attacking firepower in the frontcourt was immediately reflected.
Players on the court can always hear Pan Yi's shouts.
This has been “affirmed” by Husky himself!
Here are a few of the more famous jokes:
On the contrary, Bolton took full advantage of Chelsea's weakness and created an opportunity in the first two minutes.
Or it can be said that in the English fan circle, he was almost the only one who had the most jokes in the world.
The second reason is that Chelsea's playing style is very varied and smooth, and a large number of goals can be scored in every game.
Schuerle kicked the ball out personally and the ball flew into the penalty area.
Obviously, after Pan Yi made adjustments, the confidence of these young defenders began to grow stronger, and their passing in the midfield and backfield gradually became smoother.
This goal also greatly boosted Bolton's morale.
He uses his strong body to protect the ball and uses his height advantage to ferry headers and become the fulcrum of the striker.
So everyone slapped him on the head in various ways, almost making his hair bald!
One of the reasons is of course that under the leadership of Pan Yi, Chelsea has shown an explosive performance this season.
3. What should you do if you see Husky rushing towards you and trying to hit you?
Hurry up and pretend to be a goal!
Christensen nodded vigorously, "I understand how to do it."
After the score was reversed, Chelsea's morale was even higher, and they attacked one wave after another.
This is also a common problem among young central defenders. There are often problems with concentration and instant judgment on the field.
However, thanks to the craze of jokes on the Internet, many people will still shout out this sentence familiarly even if they have never watched a minute of his game:
Everyone on the court rushed to Christensen to celebrate his goal.
Later, he moved to Monaco, Tottenham, Stoke City, Fulham and other teams, and this summer he joined Bolton Wanderers, where he once played.
After the game restarted, Chelsea fans also gave more applause to these young players on the field.
All in all, Heskey's shooting ability is indeed hard to describe.
People who don’t know think this is a Champions League level game!——
In today's game, Pan Yi rested all the players who had played in the previous game against Manchester City, and then almost changed the entire starting lineup.
Pan Yi, who had been sitting calmly on the coaching bench since the start of the game, now walked to the sidelines with a somewhat angry look and shouted to the court:
But Pan Yi did not retreat. Instead, he shouted to Zuma on the court, indicating that he should be bolder and more aggressive when defending the opponent's forward.
5. Rooney used to be called Bai Pele.
However, the counterattack opportunities they finally gained after stealing the ball often failed in the face of the targeted defensive strategies of Chelsea's defenders.
But if the score is behind now, and everyone starts to get impatient and kick around blindly, then they are not far away from being upset and eliminated.
But Mourinho was not a coach who was good at positional warfare at the time. In the past, his use of traditional wingers was the key to making Chelsea proud of the Premier League.
Of course, in England, British fans have also been popular in complaining about him for many years.
They are all tall, strong, black and tough. As centers, they all have the explosive power and speed to move to the wing.
"The parameters for evaluating a player's efficiency and ability will often include the following: Does the player create a better offensive situation? Is his team's condition better in other phases before or after the action?"
In fact, it also includes Ake, Zouma, Chike and others, and even Salah, Van Dijk and others who were recruited by Pan Yi when he was in Milan. In their previous lives, their growth was always accompanied by various changes.
.
The improvised lyrics went like this: "Oh yeah oh yeah, even Heskey scored! Hahahahaha!"
Bolton surprisingly took a one-goal lead away from home!
Soon, the "familiar" singing sounded again in the stands of Stamford Bridge:
Therefore, with the impact of Bolton's two experienced old strikers just now, he was a little confused, and he had long ago thrown Pan Yi's instructions before the game into Java.
In the end, Chelsea defeated Bolton 4:1 and successfully advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
——
"The result of this game is not what I care about. What I care about is the performance of the young players on the court."
As for the fourth reason, of course it is also because of Husky.
Christensen nodded nervously. He knew he had made a mistake: "I...I forgot. I saw the opponent's forward rushing into the penalty area and subconsciously made a defensive move."
But Heskey had no intention of shooting, but immediately passed the ball to the goal.
As a veteran who has played 62 times for the England national team, he really has no merit but hard work. Chelsea fans also want to pay their respects to him.
Chelsea has the advantage, and they can win as long as they play steadily. This is the concept that Pan Yi has always instilled in the players before the game.
The potential value is 200, but the final ability value may only be 100!
But under Pan Yi, many such similar problems no longer exist.
As long as Pan Yi trains them well and gives them more opportunities to play, their talents can always be realized!
Of course, in order to prevent more and younger talented players from dying at the beginning, Pan Yi is also very concerned about Chelsea's youth training system.
It's not just grown-up players like Christensen.
For those smaller players, Pan Yi has already started to make arrangements...
