On the one hand, this is due to Pan Yi's original positioning for this season's FA Cup: strive to win, and at the same time train new players;
On the other hand, it is because after this game, Chelsea will face the battle with Manchester City in the Premier League!
Although Chelsea currently has an obvious advantage in the standings, this direct confrontation between first and second is still very important. Pan Yi doesn't want any surprises to happen!
So some important players should take more rest if they can.
"Pan Yi's Chelsea formation today is quite satisfactory. It is their most commonly used 3-4-3 formation this season, not some weird 514, or 163 with four wing backs, 3331 without wing back, etc..."
"It can be said that Pan Yi really has quite a lot of ammunition in his tactical arsenal. He can arrange different tactics according to different opponents and different player lineups."
But Gnabry, a skilled player, was bold and protected the ball, and then sent a diagonal pass through the gaps between multiple defensive players to Bamford's feet in the penalty area.
However, judging from Bournemouth's fierce attack at the beginning, Pan Yi's defensive strategy at the beginning was right.
After all, if the score is tied to 1:2 at this time, and the opponent has one more person to fight, it is indeed difficult to say the final outcome.
After receiving the pass from Christensen, Cancelo tried to dribble the ball along the left rib, but was tripped to the ground by the opponent's midfielder Ricci just after passing the center line. The referee did not blow the whistle.
This time it was a corner kick again, but they came up with a more carefully designed tactic. The two central defenders Elphick and Cook rushed forward and feinted. Daniels on the left lurked near the penalty spot, and then suddenly crossed into
Near the penalty spot, prepare to shoot directly!
At the top of the arc, Bamford first confused Bournemouth's defense with a smoke bomb that retreated, then suddenly stopped, turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.
This is also an important point in Eddie Howe's tactics, which is to use the two wings to fully support the frontcourt.
The referee blows the whistle, penalty kick!
But teams in lower leagues will have much less exposure.
From the statistics of the season so far, we can see that Bournemouth averages only 62 long passes per game and 368 short passes per game, which are relatively few in the entire British Championship.
Cook reacted quickly enough and immediately stopped and turned around to catch up, trying to entangle Bamford, but he was still slightly behind.
As the weaker side, Bournemouth did not give up in the midfield, but continued to press hard instead of holding back.
Chik didn't stop the ball and passed it directly back to Ramirez.
Before the Bournemouth defenders could react, Lingard quickly threw the ball in to Loftus-Cheek who ran over to receive it.
Not to mention how keen his sense of smell is, at least he will fight for every opportunity and is willing to run.
Saving the opponent's penalty kick at this moment undoubtedly gave his teammates a shot in the arm, especially when Zouma was sent off.
The tactical system Pan Yi created for Chelsea and the strong lineup he assembled allowed this team to maintain strong competitiveness on multiple fronts.
After the start of the game, Bournemouth took the lead and did not retreat in the backcourt. Instead, they actively pressed in the frontcourt. The entire formation was very high up, pressing almost one-on-one.
The equal number of people in the frontcourt and Chelsea's defensive staff also allows them to shift their focus as the ball moves, thus forming a continuous pressure, allowing Chelsea to pass the ball through the long feet of the goalkeeper or defender, increasing
Increase the opponent's turnover rate.
Zuma saw that Daniels was thrown off the defense, and in desperation, he pulled Daniels to the ground.
The live broadcast footage repeated the entire process of cooperation and scoring again and again, and Pan Yi, who was in the stadium, also pumped his fist at the players, cheered, and shouted encouragement.
——
After conceding the goal, Bournemouth's attack became even more intense.
After consecutive unsuccessful attacks, the Bournemouth players were a little less confident.
Lingard moved forward quickly, but his dribble was unsuccessful and the ball was blocked out of bounds by center back Cook.
In the 50th minute, Suman pressed close to the frontcourt and caused a pass error by Chick. Then he and Wilson simply hit the wall in the Chelsea backcourt and caught Chelsea off guard. Wilson got a chance to shoot, but was crossed by the quick-reacting Martin.
Throw out.
As Bournemouth passed Chelsea from one side of the backcourt to the other, the fluidity and flexibility of the formation was also reflected.
Eddie Howe's on-the-spot change of 5-4-1 was also implemented very well by the players. Bournemouth's system was not overwhelmed by Chelsea at all and remained very compact.
During the back-and-forth play in the midfield, Chelsea saw the opportunity. Christensen sent a long diagonal pass and passed the ball directly to the space behind the opponent's full-back after assisting.
But in the restricted area, a little miss is often fatal.
“This is really a wonderful team effort!”
After Bamford caught up with Gnabry's pass in the penalty area, he didn't stop the ball at all and fired directly, hitting a powerful shot towards the left side of the goal.
Unexpectedly, when Bamford faced Gnabry's pass, he sent the ball directly with his left foot to the outside of the right corner of the small penalty area.
After successfully pressing or defending, they will immediately counterattack.
Once the attack in the center is blocked, the wingers will not hesitate to fight all the way to create opportunities for free kicks or corner kicks, and then use carefully designed set-piece tactics to find goals.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Look at Gnabry and Lingard on the left and right. They have only been here for a short time, and they have already shown a completely different competitive state from the original team!
——
Bournemouth performed well in the English Championship this season precisely because of their excellent offensive system.
But the Chelsea players were very focused, and this corner kick attack was resolved by Ake's timely step forward to block it.
So far, Bournemouth has scored 16 set-piece goals, ranking first in the league.
"Here, I have to praise Pan Yi again. He only purchased three young players in the winter window, but now it seems that these three players each have their own characteristics and their own uses."
"Judging from his opening position today, he should be fixed at the right winger position. Can he adapt to this position in this formation? This may be a new test for him."
He is a cheating man!
However, even after falling behind by two goals after halftime, Eddie Howe remained calm.
After Cancelo struggled to get up, he caught up again, got the ball before the opponent's full-back Francis, and passed it to Gnabry in front.
Most of the coordination here is one touch, which reflects Chelsea's simple and fast way of playing.
But obviously, Pan Yi has more brushes.
The increasing number of corner kicks illustrates this trend.
"Bournemouth's defense was already quite well organized, but Chelsea relied on the players' personal abilities and technical skills, as well as their skillful passing and receiving coordination, to penetrate Bournemouth in a small area on the right wing.
Sri Lanka’s defense.”
At this time, Bournemouth's center back Cook stood between Bamford and the goal. Midfielder Art also returned to defend the penalty area in time. When Bamford received the ball, he ran to his right.
, trying to cut him off from his peripheral teammates.
One moment he went over to hold the ball, and the next moment he chatted with Wilson, making his opponent uneasy.
In the short period of time Chelsea was passing back and forth, Bournemouth's entire right side of the penalty area was already filled with defensive players, with both center backs and fullbacks already in position.
Judging from the direction of the subsequent games, we can also feel that Bournemouth's advantage in the scene in the opening minutes has obviously changed the psychology of the players on the field. They feel that the tactics arranged by head coach Eddie Howe are indeed right.
Road.
"After all, they are Chelsea! They are Chelsea who are almost invincible in the Premier League! How can they be afraid of the attack of a British Championship team? Even this Chelsea is just a pure rotation lineup..."
At the beginning of the second half, he quickly adjusted his tactics, changing the formation to 5-4-1, strengthening the interception in the midfield and backcourt, and stabilizing the defense first.
0:1!
This also reflects the arrangement and ingenuity of Eddie Howe and his coaching team in the set-piece tactics. It also shows that set-pieces have become one of Bournemouth's regular weapons.
It is precisely because of Pan Yi's presence that he has learned a lot in the team.
"Pan Yi's eyes are definitely the flaming eyes of the Monkey King in Eastern mythology!..."
From Chelsea's goal to the 20th minute, in this short period of 10 minutes, Bournemouth did create four corner kicks, which also shows how fierce their offense is.
Ramirez was pressed by the opponent's forward Wilson, and then passed the ball to Cancelo on the side.
Whether it was his performance in the penalty shootout or his save in the last minute of the final, this World Cup became his masterpiece.
Pan Yi did not choose to attack in the opening game.
Boruc stood on the left and tried to block the near corner, but he did not expect Bamford to hit the far corner.
Chelsea received a throw-in from the right side of the penalty area.
After Gnabry stopped the ball, he immediately turned and cut towards the baseline, attracting three Bournemouth defenders to double-team him.
The ball followed a straight line from Chelsea's left rib to the right side of Bournemouth's penalty area.
This is a clear manifestation of Bournemouth's emphasis on ball-taking and short-passing penetration style under Eddie Howe.
After all, the opponent is Chelsea!
When you face such a strong enemy and try your best to fail but cannot succeed, the players will inevitably doubt whether their abilities are really incapable of breaking through the opponent's goal.
In addition, Pan Yi knew Eddie Howe thoroughly and was well prepared for his various tactics. This also caused Eddie Howe to lose one of his biggest advantages: "The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark."
"In today's showdown, Pan Yi is certainly a world-class coach, and Eddie Howe's experience in leading Bournemouth to consecutive promotions is legendary, and his tactical attainments are also quite outstanding."
But it is a pity that Eddie Howe's team met Pan Yi's Chelsea.
It's just that Bournemouth under Eddie Howe is also well-trained, and their defense is also well organized.
He was very grateful to Pan Yi!
It can be said that without Pan Yi's trust in him, he would not have performed such a wonderful performance.
It is not difficult to see how strong Chelsea's lineup is now.
"We can also see from this that the two young players Gnabry and Lingard have fully integrated into Chelsea's tactical system. They are now playing like a duck to water on the court."
Although Lukaku is in better condition at the main center position, he cannot yet secure his position as the main force;
But as long as he plays, he can perform at a very high level and contribute to the team.
They took the initiative amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans and showed a bit of aggressiveness.
Forward Wilson took the penalty kick, but...
This season, he has indeed played better and better after being promoted to the Chelsea first team.
Take today's Bournemouth team as an example. How many non-local fans can name the players?
Not to mention analyzing their technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
"Saving this penalty kick is crucial! He is also telling Pan Yi in this way and telling Chelsea fans that spending 2 million pounds to buy him is also a good deal!"
Facing a strong opponent like Chelsea today, with the Blues led by Pan Yi well versed in the 3-back system, Eddie Howe also took the initiative to seek changes.
Of course, it's not that they stopped attacking, or that they completely gave up on the midfield.
He should have noticed that almost all teams will retreat to defense when they see Chelsea, so Chelsea should be more relaxed when dealing with a British Championship team;
So Bournemouth did the opposite and attacked Chelsea twice at the beginning, which might have a miraculous effect.
Bournemouth no longer attacked as fiercely as they did in the opening game. Instead, they slowed down their pace, transitioned possession of the ball to Chelsea, and adopted a more prudent strategy.
As a result, he could only watch as the ball went into the right side of Bournemouth's goal.
Lingard carried the ball and was double-teamed by the opponent's center back Cook and fullback Daniels. He stopped trying to rush into the penalty area and immediately passed the ball to Gnabry who was outflanking him on the other side.
After scoring the goal, Bamford rushed out of the stadium excitedly, ran all the way, and finally slipped and knelt under the stands of his own fans.
"Of course, today's game is also interesting. In the previous games, Lingard has appeared in the attacking midfielder position, or he will often move to the attacking midfielder position during the game;"
You know, in Pan Yi's previous life, when Argentina won the 2022 World Cup, the first hero that everyone could think of might be Messi, but the second hero might be Martin.
He predicted Eddie Howe's prediction!
This also made Bournemouth's early attack futile.
But the problem is that Pan Yi has carefully studied Eddie Howe's corner kick tactics before the game, whether it is a normal direct serve with rotation into the goal, or a "long pass + outflanking in the middle" offensive tactic, "close point cover"
+Central outflanking" tactic and "Short pass combination +Central outflanking" tactic, Chelsea can handle them all with ease.
Whether it was the two wingers Gnabry and Lingard, or the wing backs Cancelo and Ivanovic, they pressed forward without even coming up.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Zuma was also shown a red card!
Pan Yi could only make a change of formation, letting Cancellola return to the right center back position to ensure the number of defenders, while Gnabry and Lingard both returned to the wing back position to assist in defense.
Gnabry was accelerating forward and caught up with Cancelo's pass in the gap. He first made a fake move, deceived Francis, and then suddenly spiked the ball to the right, earning a small profit before Francis could react.
Through the gap, he quickly sent a direct pass with his right foot.
And his series of actions really affected Wilson.
"And we can also see that Bournemouth still uses the 4-4-2 formation that they are best at. Eddie Howe formed a barrier composed of Ritchie, Suman, Arter and Pugh in the midfield.
And on the front line is the tall and fast combination of Wilson and Komogat."
Even in the last time, Bournemouth used the method of taking the corner kick to the arc of the penalty area, and then midfielder Suter volleyed directly.
Eddie Howe really had two brushes.
With his outstanding performance in this World Cup, he also won the title of World's Best Goalkeeper of the Year - this was also the first time that an Argentine goalkeeper won this honor.
After celebrating the goal with his teammates, Bamford turned around and walked back. He even ran to the visiting team's coaching bench to high-five and hug the head coach.
"It's just today that he may have thought that against an opponent like Bournemouth, conventional weapons could solve the problem, so we saw the familiar 3-4-3."
The commentator also said: "Emiliano Martinez finally proved his worth today!"
The two full-backs Ricci and Pugh actively pushed forward and cooperated with the two forwards to constantly harass Chelsea on the wing. This also played a certain role in curbing Chelsea's wing attack.
Wilson's penalty shot was weak, but Martin jumped from the side and pinned him tightly in his arms!
The score has not been rewritten, the score is still 0:2!
At this time, Lingard, who was just outside the penalty area, had already rushed into the penalty area from behind the Bournemouth defensive player on the other side.
"From Lingard, to Gnabry, to Bamford, and finally to Lingard... Chelsea's frontcourt trident played a very delicate teamwork, which is really wonderful!"
"0:2!"
Why do upsets often happen in knockout matches such as the FA Cup and League Cup?
In addition to factors such as strong teams underestimating the enemy or not paying attention to it, lack of understanding of the opponent is also a very important reason.
In the 25th minute, during a Bournemouth attack, forward Komogat's long-range shot went directly high, and Martinez quickly took a goal kick.
"In the 25th minute, another goal from Chelsea! Bamford's goal gave Chelsea a two-goal lead in the away game!"
After counterattacking in the frontcourt, Bournemouth can also calmly carry out organizational penetration and transmit it to Chelsea's penalty area to pose a threat.
"Less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored first!"
Boruc fell to the ground to save, but it was too late and the ball quickly went into the goal.
Standing in front of Chelsea today is the Argentinian goalkeeper Martin who is very good at saving penalty kicks!
In the 67th minute, left back Daniels made a long pass from the backcourt to Wilson to form a counterattack. Wilson and Komogat patiently sought cooperation and found the gap between the wing and the central defender before Chelsea settled into position. Komogat
Gat went straight into the penalty area and shot, but unfortunately he missed.
Cancelo then passed it to Bamford who retreated in the middle. The latter touched the ball and passed it to Lingard.
In the 80th minute, Bournemouth's set-piece weapon came.
Therefore, sometimes excellent head coaches of lower-level league teams will take advantage of this and play "stealing" to achieve an upset.
"Now, let's see what kind of tactics they will use after the opening!"
Moreover, their continuous strong attacks also led to a void in the defense.
"Bournemouth, a British Championship team, was not conservative at all when facing the Premier League giants. Instead, it was admirable to have the courage to attack, but Eddie Howe seemed to have to pay a heavy price for this."
"This...could it be another massacre tonight? Chelsea has not done this kind of thing once or twice."
In fact, he was not very quiet on the goal line. He was dancing and dancing. It felt like he was singing and rapping.
After Bournemouth's two corner kicks, Chelsea took advantage of their personal abilities and launched an attack from the right.
But in front of Pan Yi, this trick was useless.
Lingard's movement without the ball has always been very good.
In the end, the referee intervened, and Martin "obediently" returned to the goal line.
According to the British media, Chelsea is divided into two teams, both of which have the ability to reach the top four.
"Maybe he is not the ball-playing goalkeeper that Pan Yi wants most, but he has a steely will and a strong heart! This is also very important for a team!"
This kind of attack method can be said to be quite outstanding even in the current Premier League.
At this time, the audience saw Lingard rushing into the penalty area, catching up with Bamford's pass, facing goalkeeper Boruc, and volleyed directly into the near corner with his right foot!
In less than three minutes, Bournemouth created two corner kick opportunities, but their corner kicks were cleared by Christensen and Zouma respectively, posing no substantial threat.
Amid the applause and encouragement of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack on Chelsea, and the full-backs and full-backs on the two wings were particularly active.
This is much better than staying in the youth team or being loaned to some lower league teams.
Martin raised his arms and shouted after saving the penalty kick, and his Chelsea teammates also rushed to him to congratulate him.
On the contrary, Bournemouth played more actively.
Your Premier League team is under the spotlight every day. The characteristics of each player and the tactics of each game are displayed to the eyes of everyone around the world.
Now, when facing Wilson, Martin began to give full play to his psychological tactics.
"Due to Chelsea's strength on the court, as a substitute goalkeeper, he rarely has a chance to perform. But as long as he is given a chance, he will seize it!"
In the last ten minutes of the game, although Bournemouth worked hard and wanted to take advantage of their numerical advantage to continue attacking;
But the shadow of the missed penalty always surrounds the players, which makes them less energetic on the court.
And Chelsea players are good at exerting force at the last moment of the game!
Amidst the ups and downs, the two sides showed a balance of power on the court, which made the scene a bit stalemate and the game was not very good to watch.
In the end, Chelsea maintained a two-goal advantage and defeated Bournemouth away from home.
They also successfully entered the next round of the FA Cup!
