In the fifth round of the FA Cup, which is the round of 16, Chelsea played Arsenal away.
Although he was playing against a strong team like Arsenal, Pan Yi used all the rotation players in this game as usual, and Gnabry and Martin also started against the old team.
However, when facing Arsenal in an away game with all the main players and the "Thermos Cup" buff, Chelsea had a bit of a difficult time in this game.
Although Gnabry broke the old home city with a beautiful long shot in the 10th minute, giving Chelsea the away lead;
But this lead only lasted less than 5 minutes. Arsenal center Giroud equalized the score with a lion's head.
In the second half, Arsenal's desire for the FA Cup was fully demonstrated on the pitch after relocating to another place. They became more and more courageous as they fought with the cheers and cheers of their home fans.
After all, this is the trophy they have the best chance of winning this season!
Finally, 3 minutes before the end of the game, Chilean Sanchez succeeded in breaking through the wing and then cut in and shot. The ball hit the goal post and bounced into the net. Arsenal beat Chelsea!
1:2, this is the final score of the game.
This score caused Chelsea to be eliminated from the FA Cup by Arsenal. It was also the first time Chelsea lost in the 90 minutes of regular time in all competitions this season.
Therefore, no one can do anything about such a world wave!
"This kid is actually playing pretty well. He'll have a chance to play in the future." Ibrahimovic patted Pan Yi heavily on the shoulder again, "Don't think about using him to make any substitutes today. I will do it before 70 minutes."
Kill the game!”
This Brazilian star defender has emerged in recent years. His heading skills are outstanding, he has good confrontation ability, and more importantly, he is also very fast.
After all, this is the Champions League, a two-leg knockout round.
"Let's take a look at the visiting team Chelsea's lineup. It's still a 3-4-3, and the goalkeeper is Courtois..."
"Oh my God! This ball is so beautiful!"
Pan Yi was still a little depressed.
After Ancelotti suddenly left the team, Blanco, who had been out for a year, was appointed as the new head coach of Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013.
And Pan Yi really thought so.
He has not retired in his forties and is still playing an important role in Milan.
Ibrahimovic's father is Bosnian and his mother is Croatian.
"So, let's fight for our Champions League dream!"
Therefore, Pan Yi decided to shrink the defense line a little and stabilize his own front first.
“Ibrahimovic’s world wave!”
"This was an unexpected situation. Hazard was injured only about 10 minutes into the game, and Chelsea had to make a substitution."
"Therefore, we must be careful when going to the Parc des Princes and not make mistakes due to lack of concentration."
This ball is thirty or forty meters away from the goal!
"In fact, when I was an assistant coach in Milan, Ibrahimovic was also an absolute core player. He could do anything in the frontcourt."
"Of course, there are still many good players on Chelsea's bench. For example, Willian, Lingard, and Gnabry. Willian is the most likely to be substituted because he has the most experience..."
Next, Ibrahimovic helped Milan win the Serie A championship after a long absence.
"Then let's wait and see." Pan Yi was not polite and said with a smile.
After all, Chelsea are now leading by one goal, which forces Paris Saint-Germain to press out and attack. This is something Chelsea can take advantage of.
"Pan Yi seemed very dissatisfied. He was still protesting to the referee because of Matuidi's previous tackle, the referee only gave a verbal warning and did not show a card."
"Therefore, guard Ibrahimovic closely, and at the same time, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Verratti and Ibrahimovic. If we can do this, Paris Saint-Germain's offensive firepower will be eliminated by us.
Suppress it to the lowest level.”
However, before Pan Yi's adjustment was fully implemented on the court, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Although he was already 36 years old when he joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, he scored 53 goals and provided 15 assists in his two years here, and was also elected as the best player in the Major League Baseball.
On the court, his ability to hold the ball and read the game are outstanding, so he is also known as Pirlo II.
For a person with Ibrahimovic's temper, this answer is the most suitable for him.
However, Marquinhos immediately came over to cover the defense.
"This distance, this power, this speed! It's really... so beautiful! Sorry, I can only use these words to describe such a goal now..."
Ibrahimovic said, and glanced over to Chelsea's bench, where Lingard was sitting.
After all, everyone knows that Pan Yi's real goal is the Champions League knockout round three days later!
The ball flew high into the air, but before it hit the ground, Ibrahimovic rushed up from behind and fired a volley without saying a word!
The football drew a beautiful arc, bypassing the people in the penalty area and the fingers of Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois, and hit the dead center in the upper right corner of the goal.
"Viewers, welcome to watch this Champions League round of 16 match. This is Paris Saint-Germain's home game against Chelsea."
"Pan Yi's face is very ugly, which is understandable. Because Hazard is Chelsea's ace now, and such an ace has to be replaced early."
Obviously, they are also ready!——
February 18, Paris, Parc des Princes.
After all, Chelsea and Paris are both new giants that have emerged in recent years. There has been no confrontation between the two sides in history, and of course there will be no grudges or grudges.
Ibrahimovic is a typical example of someone who becomes more and more demonic as he gets older.
This young Italian midfielder is good at organization, has broad vision, and has very delicate skills at his feet.
Because Chelsea failed to hold on to this one-goal lead.
On the court, Hazard and his teammates hugged each other and celebrated passionately. Pan Yi also waved his arms vigorously on the sidelines and cheered for the goal.
"If Chelsea's Hazard's breakthrough pass just now reflects the technical beauty of football, then Ibrahimovic's world wave is the full expression of the aesthetics of violence!"
"By the way, I'm also very grateful for your support regarding Lingard's matter." Pan Yi suddenly said again.
Of course, this suggestion is just a joke.
Saving Wilson's penalty against Bournemouth in the FA Cup is a good example of this.
Blanc picked up the coaching job after retiring in 2008. He first coached Bordeaux to win the French Ligue 1 championship, and then coached the French national team for two years. He resigned after being eliminated by the eventual champion Spain in the quarter-finals of the 2012 European Cup.
It's just that if this is the case, the tactics Pan Yi formulated from the beginning will need to be fine-tuned.
Then Ibrahimovic grew up in an immigrant community called Rosengard.
This is the current shortcoming of this young central defender. He still lacks experience and is a little rough defensively.
It was that simple, a long shot without any warning and he scored a goal.
The French giant's tackle was really big, so it's no wonder that Pan Yi, who has always been calm, was a little unhappy.
He improved AC Milan's mental attributes, while also steadily improving the team's record, helping the team obtain a Europa League qualifying spot.
But there is no way, after all, Paris is the home court today, so it is normal to be a bit off the whistle.
Speaking of this, Pan Yi smiled and said,
"One thing we may be able to take advantage of is that Ibrahimovic has a very bad temper."
Speaking of Blanco, he was an experienced French international as a player. He played a total of 97 times for the Gallic Roosters and won back-to-back championships with the team in the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup.
This goal...how to say, very Ibrahimovic.
Including right center back Marquinhos, he is only 20 years old this year. In terms of ability and game experience, there is definitely a certain gap compared with his big brother Thiago Silva, who plays left center back today.
The French midfielder started to pull wide from the center position, appeared in the rib position as a pseudo-winger, and then made a fierce tackle on Hazard who was holding the ball.
Statistics show that with Ibrahimovic, AC Milan scored 42 points in 20 games, scored 44 goals, and conceded 22 goals. Without Ibrahimovic, AC Milan scored only 21 points in 17 games, scored 16 goals, and conceded 24 goals...
The Dutchman, who plays right back, is 181cm tall. Although he has certain air defense capabilities, he also has certain flaws in his turning speed.
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."
And after Chelsea scored, Paris Saint-Germain also significantly strengthened its defense on the right, and the midfielders also began to help their right back and right center back more.
But at this time, Hazard suddenly stopped and spiked the ball.
"Although Bernardo Silva scored this goal, 80% of the credit should be attributed to Hazard."
Pan Yi pinched his shoulders, quickly said goodbye to Ibrahimovic and returned to his coaching bench.
"The Swede is the most dangerous player in PSG."
That's because shortly after the restart, Hazard was knocked to the ground by French midfielder Matuidi during a scramble, and when he got up from the ground, he immediately limped and couldn't walk.
.
"One to one! Ibrahimovic's kick brought the two sides back to a tie again!"
He is the brains of the team, controls the team's rhythm, and is the metronome of Paris Saint-Germain.
"Ah! Hazard made a substitution gesture. He was actively asking to be dismissed!"
After explaining various situations in detail on the tactical board, Pan Yi concluded:
"Paris Saint-Germain's strength has improved rapidly in recent years. Of course, they have not only Ibrahimovic but also Verratti in their squad."
Is it because some players are distracted? Is there something wrong with Chelsea's defense?
Not really.
In this Paris Saint-Germain team, Ibrahimovic is the absolute core.
The ball flew very far and landed directly outside the arc of the penalty area.
"But now that we're in Paris, it's hard to say..."
The live broadcast replayed the scene where Matuidi's tackle caused Hazard's injury.
"The centre-back pairing is Thiago Silva and Marquinhos."
Ibrahimovic, who practices Taekwondo, not only has strong legs, but also very strong hands!
"When he was in Milan, we basically won every game, so it was nothing. He would even use the opponent's emotions to create opportunities."
However, although Chelsea lost the game, after all, it was just an FA Cup match that Pan Yi did not attach too much importance to, and the players on the field were indeed rotation players;
Therefore, in the media reports after the game, apart from lamenting that "Arsenal is not easy to mess with in the FA Cup", there was not much in the way of looking down on Chelsea.
Therefore, when Hazard broke through, Marquinhos stuck closely to the Belgian, preventing him from easily cutting inside or passing the ball.
After all, Chelsea's current main goalkeeper is Courtois, and his performance is still needed in such an important game as the Champions League knockout rounds.
Although Hazard persisted for a few more minutes after receiving simple treatment from the team doctor, he finally sat on the ground and made a substitution gesture towards the court.
If Pan Yi's ability had not been recognized by Ibrahimovic, maybe a young coach from the Dragon Kingdom would have been choked when he was instructing Ibrahimovic's tactics:
"Why do you teach me? I am Zlatan, who the hell are you?"
Matuidi's tackle just now is actually the epitome of this tactical change.
Whether it is Gnabry, B seat or Lukaku, once they are given enough space, it will be much easier to counterattack.
World wave professionals don’t talk nonsense.
The cheers at the Parc des Princes were loud.
"It seems that the injury caused by Matuidi's tackle just now will prevent him from continuing to play."
Of course, PSG's bid for David Luiz in the summer window was rejected by Pan Yi - and this is not a holiday at all, after all, it is a very common thing in the transfer market here.
"It is worth noting that today's back line in Paris is basically composed of Brazilians."
This skill is especially useful when facing penalty kicks.
Marquinhos braked suddenly, but in just a short moment, he was a certain distance away from Hazard, and there was no way he could stay close to his defensive target.
Because of the war, Ibrahimovic's parents fled to a small town in Malmö, Sweden.
"This is also Gnabry's second appearance in the Champions League in his career. When he was at Arsenal, he came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute in the group stage last season. Of course, this is his first Champions League knockout game.
!”
Not long after the game started, Hazard began to break through on the left, constantly tearing apart the Dutch defense with speed.
Now, Blanco will rely on these two strikers to make Paris have a breakthrough in the Champions League!
Every goal Chelsea scores at the Parc des Princes is an away goal and has a very important meaning!
However, Pan Yi frowned after less than two minutes.
This is a super world wave!
"Those like Cavani, Lavezzi and Matuidi have all been famous for many years and are important members of their respective national teams."
"It's fine when the game is going well. But if it's not going well, it may be difficult for him to control his emotions and do something detrimental to the team on the field."
If we have a bloody fight with Arsenal in the FA Cup today, and something goes wrong during the expedition to Paris, it will definitely be a loss that outweighs the gain.
Paris Saint-Germain scored quickly to equalize the score!
"GoooooooooooooooLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
And this goal looked a bit familiar to Pan Yi.
He used his left foot to create a small arc and reached the back point!
This is because although Lukaku in the middle has outflanked him, Thiago Silva is also keeping an eye on Lukaku, preventing him from easily attacking the goal.
"Paris Saint-Germain is the leader of Ligue 1 and Chelsea is the leader of the Premier League. This game is also considered the pinnacle showdown between Ligue 1 and the Premier League."
And Hazard used the small distance he moved away to have space to pass the ball.
Every name of a Paris Saint-Germain player was read out, causing huge cheers from the scene.
"How can I put it... Hazard is really too strong! He, a player who transferred from Lille to Chelsea, seems to be reappearing as the best player in Ligue 1 in France!"
He and his coaching staff have already been preparing for the away game against Paris...
——
"Ibrahimovic!"
The current Gnabry is still inferior to Hazard in terms of his ability to break through and advance with the ball, and may not be able to achieve the original tactical vision.
The biggest connection between the two is that Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Pan Yi were former masters and apprentices.
"The three players in the midfield are Italian international Verratti, Argentina international Pastore, and French international Matuidi."
Since joining Paris Saint-Germain, although Verratti's goals and assists data are not particularly outstanding, his role cannot be reflected by the data.
When the players from both sides came on the field, the stadium's live broadcast announced the names of the players from both sides.
At this time, a player in the audience said: "Otherwise, let's let Martinez play. He will definitely piss off Ibrahimovic."
Then, he returned to Europe and returned to AC Milan.
Under his leadership, forwards Ibrahimovic and Cavani also reached the peak of their respective careers, scoring numerous goals.
"In other words, as long as Ibrahimovic is restricted, it is equivalent to cutting off Paris Saint-Germain's offense."
"Ah, it's not Willian, it's Gnabry. He came on urgently and replaced Hazard. This young German winger just transferred to Chelsea in the winter window and quickly scored a hat-trick against Manchester United.
, it can be said that he became famous in one battle.”
"The home team Paris Saint-Germain has a 4-3-3 formation, and the goalkeeper is Italian national goalkeeper Sirigu."
Seat B, who was at the back, had just inserted himself from the back row, and also got rid of the Paris left-back Maxwell who was guarding him!
"Bernardo Silva! Beautiful header! The ball went in!"
"After arriving in Paris, Blanco relied more on Ibrahimovic's fulcrum and scoring ability, so Ibrahimovic's role in the Paris team is even greater than when he was in Milan."
Well, you can’t say it’s the end of your career.
"Pan Yi, you are indeed the best coach in the world, but I'm sorry, the winner today will be Zlatan!" Then the first words he said were also very Ibrahimovic.
"The right back is the Dutchman Van der Wiel, and the left back is the Brazilian Maxwell."
"Hazard limped off the field with the support of the team doctor. I hope his injury is not serious, otherwise, this will be a big blow to Chelsea."
How could someone like him be considered at the end of his career at just 36 years old!
He helped Paris win the domestic Triple Crown last season, and thus gained the trust of the entire team.
Growing up in an environment where public security was poor and personal safety was difficult to guarantee, Ibrahimovic developed an extreme sense of self-protection. He also developed a rebellious personality that would not compromise with anyone.
In the 5th minute, Hazard deceived Vandeveer with a fake move of pulling the ball under his feet, and then accelerated towards the baseline.
"That's nothing, just transfer for a while, it's like a big deal. I'm in Paris today, maybe I'll go to Manchester United in two years, what's the fuss about!"
"There is also an old subordinate of mine on the defense line, Thiago Silva. I don't need to say more about his ability. His partner is likely to be his fellow Brazilian Marquinhos, who has also been favored in recent years.
A rising star that attracts attention.”
"There are even more famous names on the front line, including Cavani, Ibrahimovic and Lavezzi."
At the pre-match meeting attended by all coaches and players, Pan Yi tapped the tactical board and then pointed at the chess piece in the middle of Paris' forward line.
It can be said that the current head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Frenchman Laurent Blanc, develops his offensive tactics around Ibrahimovic.
This remark caused a burst of laughter.
The players couldn't help but scream.
Although Martin has not played many games at Chelsea, everyone now understands one of his special skills: psychological warfare!
No matter what kind of opponent he plays, he always seems to have a way of making the opponent's forwards uneasy.
At this time, Vandeveer turned around to chase him again, but he couldn't catch up.
"Just 5 minutes into the game, Chelsea are leading Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes!"
It's just that in the current Chelsea, the topic of the main substitute is not a taboo, so it is not a big problem for everyone to joke about it.
Get out quickly, if we continue talking, our life will be ruined here!——
In today's game, defensively, Pan Yi asked his players to step up their defense against Ibrahimovic and Verratti, while offensively, he chose Van der Veer's position as a breakthrough point.
Therefore, Pan Yi puts his main attack direction here, which is to let Hazard and Marcos Alonso give full play to their breakthrough and shooting abilities.
When Chelsea's name was read out, the reaction was relatively muted and there were relatively few boos.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that in his previous life, Ibrahimovic scored a goal similar to this when he went to Major League Baseball at the end of his career.
Therefore, at this point in time, it is not surprising that the "only" 33-year-old Ibrahimovic has made such a big splash in the world.
"The Champions League is not a league. In the league we can make one mistake or two mistakes because we have time and opportunity to make up for our mistakes. But not the Champions League. If we lose, we lose!"
Off the field, after Pan Yi shook hands with Blanco, he walked over and hugged two old subordinates, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva.
He certainly won't blame his players for the FA Cup defeat.
Just three minutes after Chelsea's substitution, Verratti's pass was aimed at Cavani in the penalty area, but it was headed out by Chelsea center defender David Luiz.
"And Verratti!" Pan Yi named a Paris player's name again.
"Chelsea's number one star started from the midfield and rushed all the way to the bottom line. After passing the two defenders of the opponent, he passed the ball and accurately found his teammate in the back point, and then scored."
Forget about Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic slapped Pan Yi on the back so hard that Pan Yi almost died on the spot.
There are poems to prove it:
When the king comes and goes, he is an immortal, and people give him the nickname "Da Feng Xian".
Look at all living beings and laugh, I am the only one who respects the boundless Dharma.
Annihilate the enemy with the energy of Changhong, and score goals at just a snap of your fingers.
My destiny is up to me and not up to Heaven. If Heaven destroys me, I will destroy Heaven!
