Chapter 316: The World's Number One Internet Celebrity
Before Chelsea face Arsenal at home, they must first challenge Sporting CP (formerly Sporting Lisbon) away in the second round of the Champions League group stage.
The current Sporting CP is coached by Marco Silva, who is only 37 years old. He has famous players like Nani and Patricio, as well as William Carvalho and Joao Mario.
The young talent is actually not weak at all.
But Pan Yi, who was full of confidence, still deployed a lineup mainly composed of rotating players, and still achieved a 4:1 victory!
Bamford scored twice, while Schürrle and Zouma also scored.
Sporting CP only scored a face-saving goal from Nani in stoppage time.
In the eyes of many people, the result of this game is not particularly surprising news. After all, Chelsea feels really unstoppable now. It is normal that Sporting CP cannot beat them.
But one person is particularly worried about such news.
That is Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger.
After all, Chelsea’s next opponent is Arsenal!
They also played in the Champions League in midweek and also went to Portugal for an away game, but they lost 0:2 to Porto.
How can the "professor" not feel worried with such a contrast in status?
"Originally, the situation in the Premier League this season looked very chaotic. We might really have a chance to compete for the championship, but now... Chelsea's state is too stable."
"Yes, I'm not the only one who says that. He's outstanding, it's great to have him in the team and he deserves all the praise."
But now Pan Yi is different.
"Of course, he doesn't like other people's praise. He would rather keep a low profile. We all know that he has such a character. It is precisely because of this character that we love him even more."
Let’s start from the beginning.
As long as there is guidance from Chelsea's professional youth training coaches, who knows what will happen in the future?
Therefore, Pan Yi sometimes goes to the youth team to take videos of the lives and training of the young players of Long Country and put them on the AB website.
Of course, he has also watched Chelsea's games in the previous rounds, which also gave him a clear understanding of Pan Yi and the strength of this Chelsea team.
Whether it is for Arsenal players or even Wenger himself, it will be a great help in terms of confidence in achieving good results this season (fighting for fourth place).
However, it was this 0:4 defeat that made Wenger still have a lot of fear towards Pan Yi.
He also saw the new attacking tactics that Pan Yi showed to the world, as well as the progress shown by Chelsea players.
"Is this UP owner a football player? It's boring. I still like basketball that allows people to sing, dance, and rap."
In this video, it is Pan Yi who takes Kante, Cancelo and other players to a restaurant in London for dinner.
And even these UP owners can only show the fans' enthusiasm and opinions about the team most of the time. There are very few who can truly interact with the stars in depth.
In this way, players will not be limited to a certain tactical framework when they are young, which will affect their development.
In the Premier League, although Arsenal can steadily enter the top four and obtain a place in the Champions League, the goal of competing for the championship seems to be getting further and further away from them.
"Thank you Pan Yi for letting us see another side of Kanter. I will never let him come to my restaurant to play cards and then say thank you..."
In the following days, Pan Yi also released videos one after another after each game:
So this summer, they invested a huge amount of nearly 80 million pounds in signings!
Among them are Sanchez with 35 million pounds, Welbeck with 16 million pounds, Chambers with 12 million pounds, Debuchy with 10 million pounds, and Ospina with 3 million pounds.
And even these second-hand videos of transportation can become popular in an instant.
That is, he suggested that the club prepare to establish Chelsea football schools in many places in the Dragon Kingdom, so that talented children from the Dragon Country can learn football without having to consider the cost.
Although it is still difficult for them to reach the level of European youth training players for a while, that is because they lack scientific training and teaching.
As for talents at all echelons of the youth team, Pan Yi also tried his best to promote the establishment and expansion of Chelsea's scouting network, searching for talented children around the world and letting them join Chelsea's youth training camp.
"Haha, what a beautiful reporter, I only noticed the beauty of the UP host. Does giegie have a girlfriend? Is she in need of a bed warmer?"
And it's not just money, it's also attractive to stars.
But he also understands that if Arsenal really can't stop Chelsea's progress, it may be difficult for the entire Premier League to stop it!——
An important reason why Wenger believes Chelsea will be "complacent and complacent" is that their head coach Pan Yi seems to be addicted to "high-intensity Internet surfing" recently.
Just like now, after six rounds, Manchester City only has 10 points, the same points as Arsenal, but they are third on goal difference.
Chelsea is number one!
And he is the first to win!
As long as Chelsea can establish a good reputation in the country and let the younger generation become more Blues fans, it will definitely be beneficial to Chelsea's future.
Last season, the professor led Arsenal in the 133rd FA Cup final. After conceding 2 goals in the first 8 minutes, they reversed Hull City 3-2 after overtime and won their first trophy in 9 years.
A championship trophy.
Therefore, the performance of Pan Yi and Chelsea did put tremendous pressure on Wenger, and even somewhat shook his confidence.
He just shot it casually and then posted it later without any editing or dubbing.
But the problem is...
"They are all so happy! I like their smiling faces."
In fact, Wenger also has an advantage.
Manchester United is seventh, Tottenham is eighth, and Liverpool is only 14th.
As the saying goes, "There's a lot of jokes in football, but Arsenal has a lot to offer".
They have no way of seeing this kind of first-hand interactive video of coaches and players!
Therefore, they can only climb over the wall, register an account at AB site, and then move it to the external network so that everyone can satisfy their craving.
That's some of the faces from Chelsea's Cobham youth academy.
William added: "If you ask Kante to pay, he will usually say: 'Really? Do I have to pay? Oh, no! You and David are very good, you have a good heart.
'"
"I have seen the video of Kante being interviewed by a reporter. Kante kept smiling and thanking the reporter, 'Fxxk you', 'Fxxk you'. I think the reporter would really appreciate it."
What makes Wenger even more pleased is that although it has only been six rounds, it can be seen that the Premier League this season is very chaotic. Most of the BIG6 are in unstable form, while some mid-to-lower teams have outstanding performances.
Although Arsenal fans now seem confident that they can beat Chelsea, Wenger does not think it will be an easy task now.
Another video is [Who is the most popular player in the Chelsea team?]
Only by recruiting talents from all over the world and enriching Chelsea's youth training camp can we provide an endless supply of follow-up talents for the first team.
"Thank you Pan Yi! Thank you Pan Yi for giving them the opportunity to realize their dreams!"
At that time, Pan Yi's use of Aubameyang and Ibrahimovic at the center position was simply perfect, and Wenger was stunned.
Finally, William smiled bitterly and said: "He will also say 'thank you' to us very politely. But my God, his English is terrible! When he says 'thank you', we sound like 'Thank you'."
fxxk you", it sounds so uncomfortable!"
After the start of the new season, Arsenal's state is indeed good. Although they failed to win more victories, they still maintained their unbeaten status with 2 wins and 4 draws.
Once they are squeezed out, it may directly create a vicious cycle, and they may sink there for many years.
The above is almost a microcosm of Arsenal's performance in each season over the years.
"Am I the only one who noticed the beautiful reporter behind Pan Yi and Aguero? I want to get all the information about this person within a minute!"
"Yes, you can see that they are all happy from the bottom of their hearts!"
He is a world-famous handsome man!
He wants to take selfies with Aguero or something. Even if Akun loses, he will come over and have fun together. Of course, there is also his fellow Argentinian Scaloni in the Chelsea team, and the relationship between them is also
good.
"That's not true. This is the football they really like. They don't have to be overwhelmed by those expensive tuition fees, and they won't be bothered by those messy hidden rules."
[Shocking revelation: Kanter often eats without paying!]
If we elaborated on it all, it would take ten chapters to complete.
After initially promoting some outstanding talents here, such as Chike, Ake and others to the first team, Pan Yi also intervened in some daily guidance of the youth team, such as letting them pay more attention to technology and creativity, encouraging players to perform individually,
etc.
Arsenal ranks fourth. (Eh?)
First of all, theoretically speaking, there was no real confrontation between Wenger and Pan Yi.
Wenger stood up and walked around the office.
Chelsea are such beasts!
Not only did they win completely, but they also scored three to four goals in almost every game. It was simply inhumane.
There is also Southampton. Although they had one draw and one loss in the first two rounds, they have defeated West Ham United, Newcastle, Swansea, and Queens Park Rangers in the last four games.
That is to say, last season's FA Cup championship boosted the morale of Arsenal and regained their confidence.
But now everyone knows that Pan Yi actually played a leading role in Milan's tactics at that time.
On the day he made a high-profile announcement about moving into Station AB, his number of fans jumped to 500,000, and a few days later there were already more than 2 million, which shows how popular he is in the Dragon Kingdom.
Under such measures, coupled with Pan Yi's extremely high popularity in Longguo - in fact, Pan Yi releases various videos on AB station, which also has the consideration of increasing popularity, so that many parents who usually do not watch football can also pay attention to it.
come over!
"But he even cheats! Is this perhaps his desire to win? Can such a desire to win support him from running on the court non-stop for ninety minutes?"
After all, Chelsea's first team is playing well now, but if they want to develop sustainably and become a century-old giant, they must strengthen their work in this area.
"This is the first time I saw a coach who posted a video of me on a website. He is still the most famous and awesome coach in the world! I was also the first to post a comment! Mom, I am successful!"
"I think it's understandable that Kanter is a prostitute. Do you know that although Kanter is worth 40 million and earns over 100,000 a week, the car he drives is a second-hand Mini Coopers..."
Look at the support Pan Yi received from Chelsea fans after using so many young players from the youth training to play in the Premier League!
Some people already regard him as "our own Ferguson"!
Moreover, among this group of Dragon Kingdom students, some good prospects were indeed found.
Therefore, by staying in the top four and ensuring that you can participate in the Champions League, you can maintain your competitiveness in the Premier League.
"When you see me, you are no longer number one."
After all, they only spent 80 million euros on new players in the summer window.
Of course, for Pan Yi's move, Abramovich and Chelsea's senior management naturally also strongly supported Pan Yi's measures. They asked for money and gave money and people for others!
Pan Yi was naturally a bit "selfish" when promoting such a project.
He often posts some videos of Chelsea training and games on AB, the most popular video website in China, as well as some clips of his daily life.
So Pan Yi asked people to hold some training camps in China first, and then select some outstanding students to study and live at Chelsea headquarters. All the expenses incurred were borne by the club.
Wenger sat in his office and stared at the wall blankly. The expression on his face had never relaxed, and he even looked a little old.
Videos of Pan Yi interacting with his own players, especially with opposing players, after games always get the most attention.
Although they have reached the FA Cup, League Cup finals many times during this period, and even entered the Champions League final once, they just missed the championship.
If converted into euros, this is already more than what Chelsea paid with Abramovich's investment!
In such a short schedule, this is actually a very scary score difference.
[Let Nani talk about Nani’s experience]
For example, Swansea and Aston Villa, which remained undefeated in the previous rounds, are still ranked fifth and sixth now.
First of all, at least tens of millions of euros in wasted money are gone!
Pan Yi has simply become the world’s number one Internet celebrity!
In fact, even if Pan Yi becomes an Internet celebrity, it has nothing to do with the "arrogance and complacency" Wenger thinks.
After all, this also shows that there are more teams competing for Champions League seats!
For Arsenal and Wenger, the Champions League seat is the last position that cannot be lost.
But a champion is still a champion after all.
Pan Yi interviewed one after another, many of whom would mention Kanter.
"So it's really important to beat Chelsea in this game, or at least not lose to them."
Since Abramovich purchased Chelsea and established the Cobham base, Chelsea's youth training talents have also had their own venues in this base, and their training conditions have also undergone tremendous changes.
Pan Yi likes to interact with fans.
Such a record also allowed their points to suddenly reach second place, second only to Chelsea.
Buy the universe in July, sell the captain in August, be the best in September, win five crowns in October, have hope in November, have a long goal in twelve, be injured in January, stay in the league in February, enter the midfield in March, and compete in April
The semi-finals, fifth place in May, advanced to the semi-finals in June, can play in the playoffs, the whole team was overjoyed, breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to sell the captain.
"It's Kanter. He is simply too good, both on and off the court. He is warm-hearted, doesn't gossip, and works hard without complaining!"
And this restaurant is opened by the two Brazilian stars David Luiz and Willian in the team!
Then David Luiz accepted an interview with Pan Yi and said: "Coach, you are a good person. You will pay after eating. But many teammates never pay, especially Kante!"
[Exceeding people like Messi, shooting Husky, come and see Husky.]
Even Wenger feels that Pan Yi is even more comfortable than he was a few years ago, and can use so many formations so freely!
Moreover, after Pan Yi arrived in Hamburg, especially his current performance at Chelsea, Wenger was even more impressed.
They scored 18 points in six rounds. They were simply brutal and inhumane. They didn’t seem to have the same style as other teams!
As a result, it seems that Arsenal's championship dream is about to drift away again.
When he was a fan in his previous life, he wanted to be able to go to the stadium to watch football in person and interact with the stars, even better.
In response to this, fans posted comments one after another:
Foreign fans are envious of the videos Pan Yi posted on AB and his interactions with fans!
"What are you bending the rules? He just cheats when playing cards! Let's put it this way, I am willing to do anything with Kanter, except playing cards."
Therefore, even if these two games are included, Wenger is actually tied with Pan Yi - their record is one win and one loss!
After all, Arsenal had won one game against AC Milan at the time, but lost 0:4 in the first leg at San Siro, preventing Arsenal from making a comeback in the second round.
This was really a great opportunity for Arsenal!
After all, Arsenal's absolute strength is not outstanding in the Premier League. It is really difficult to score 90 or 100 points in a season and then be far ahead and win the championship.
If the head coach is proud, other players will naturally follow suit!
Unlike many stars and coaches, Pan Yi did not engage in social media such as Twitter, "There are country bumpkins" and "I must die".
Because when AC Milan faced Arsenal in the Champions League knockout round three years ago, Pan Yi was just an assistant coach.
What about "40 million + 1 pound", "our factory has collapsed", "temperature difference signing", "five years of Bayern, three years of Barcelona", "the best formation", "Wenger's zipper", "fighting for the four crazy demons"
, "Fan Ambition", "Loyalty Law", "Selling the Captain"...
Wenger thought about this question over and over again.
Of course he also has the authority to manage Chelsea's youth training!
It’s all natural and unprocessed!
So it doesn't take him much time, and the growth of fans is natural and has nothing to do with "smugness".
——
Among the videos released by Pan Yi, some particularly attracted the attention of Dragon Kingdom fans.
Of course, as a truly world-class coach and an experienced old coach, he can adjust his mentality and find effective ways to deal with Pan Yi's Chelsea.
After all, although the Premier League championship is a huge honor, in terms of benefits, it is not much different from second or third place.
For example, after the game against Manchester City, Pan Yi hugged the opponent's forward Aguero and took a selfie.
"In fact, it also gives us ordinary Dragon Country fans a chance to realize their dreams. If they kick out in the future..."
Wenger nodded secretly.
"But he also has some flaws, especially when playing poker, he really wants to win, so sometimes he bends the rules."
This video titled [Take a selfie with the selfie guru!] has already been viewed millions of times in just a few days.
"Can I defeat him? What method should I use to defeat him? Or...prevent him from defeating me?"
"How can it be so easy to kick them out? There are still too few good seedlings."
Naturally, these videos have received crazy likes from Dragon Kingdom fans, with all kinds of one-kick and three-way hits, all of them can be popular.
Under such circumstances, the current troubled times in the Premier League have become less friendly to Arsenal.
Of course, you can build a strong team just by spending money, but if you want to truly stay local and take root in the community, "your own children" are indispensable.
As a result, Arsenal went from being the unbeaten team in the Premier League to becoming the joke champion in world football.
[Benteke is really strong. I wonder if he can shoot better than Heskey? 】
But Wenger is not willing to give in!
Why doesn't he want to win another Premier League championship?
The FA Cup champion is just a lower substitute.
"In this case, they may relax on the court and expose their flaws."
"They are a young team, and Pan Yi is also a young coach. After achieving such an excellent start, maybe they will become proud and complacent."
"I heard that when he was a child, he used to pick up garbage to make a living. Maybe this developed his frugal habit. It was this experience that spurred him and made him an inspirational and successful player. How can Kanter be like this?
Can you not love me?"
Of course, these videos will gain great attention from Dragon Kingdom fans.
"Awesome! (The first barrage in my life, dedicated to the up owner)"
"I used to think that Kanter had no black spots other than black spots."
"Haven't you heard that you are not afraid of the sky or the earth, but you are afraid of Kanter saying thank you!"
But if everyone gets in a mess, Arsenal has a chance.
"Wow, she is as productive as a sow!"
Everyone knows that the Longguo market is the largest market in the world, and the same is true for football.
Although he is indeed very prolific and has released a large number of videos in a short period of time, it is actually all done with a little effort.
Except that training content sometimes involves tactical secrets that are difficult to release, domestic fans can often watch various video clips of Chelsea players in restaurants, gyms, and physiotherapy rooms on the website.
"I always thought baby Kanter was the cutest, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy. The more I look at him, the cuter he becomes."
Various brand-new training buildings and various equipment have been introduced one after another. In short, the hardware facilities here have been greatly improved.
"Fire tongs Liu Ming, like first and then read."
"The video is good. It allows us to get close to so many stars, but it is a bit too short. Coach, you don't want others to say you are short, right?"
"Look, this man is called Xiaoshuai, and the man next to him is called Xiaohei. They are studying how to pronounce Nani..."
And if Arsenal can escape unscathed at Stamford Bridge when facing such a powerful Chelsea team, that would be really important.
After all, they are eight points behind Chelsea after six rounds!
Although bigger salaries can still attract stars, Arsenal are not rich after all. They can only pay the market price at most, and cannot pay too much premium to buy players or offer super-large contracts.
"He is so humble. If he hears us praising him, he will become nervous. Because of this, I will often go out of my way to praise him and ask reporters to interview him, haha!"
Regardless of whether they are fans or not, everyone will post various comments in the video to show their support for this "new UP leader".
"But isn't the Chelsea Football School already under construction? When the best prospects in the country are gathered in the school, and then selected to Chelsea for the guidance of the most professional coaches, who says there won't be Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi?"
David Luiz continued: "Even if I said it in front of Kante now, he would say 'I won't pay'."
They can also learn about the daily life of Chelsea players and some interesting tidbits.
Players emerge in every game, and progress is visible to the naked eye in every game. Such a team is terrible!
In other words, after Wenger won ten championships in the first eight years of coaching Arsenal, he entered a strange cycle of "ten years without a championship".
After Pan Yi took charge of Chelsea, he attached great importance to the youth training here.
That is, Pan Yi has defeated many world-class coaches in recent years, but Wenger is one of the few coaches who has not fallen behind.
On AB, the two most popular Chelsea videos are about Kante.
"Maybe we really have a chance to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?"
"..."
As for Chelsea Club, not to mention that Pan Yi is now the de facto second-in-command, and everyone obeys his words;
In fact, just from a business operation perspective and a competitive perspective, they have not lost at all.
This means that before the Chelsea Football School is fully built, there are already countless registrations.
But if someone is kicked out of the top four and cannot play in the Champions League, the loss will be huge.
But as he is short of money and has to go to work every day, he can basically only watch football on TV, or he usually follows some UP fans who watch football in foreign countries and feels the foreign football atmosphere through their videos.
And if Pan Yi was photographing players in the Chelsea team, it would be even simpler.
"I suddenly feel that it is really possible for the Dragon Country team to enter the World Cup again in the future."
"If that day comes, I will go find Pan Yi and give him a kiss!"
"Call me, I want to come too!"
"You want to take advantage of Pan Yi, right? Can he just let you do it? You'd better call me too. The success rate of going together as a group will be higher!"
