Chapter 496 Arteta is going to dismiss get out of class?
Chapter 496: Arteta asks for help?
Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly
Amon's goal helped York City change the score to 3-1.
Sheffield United, which was trailing by two goals, was unwilling to lose. Their head coach Chris Wilder deployed his troops one after another, sending two forwards one after another.
In the first ten minutes of the game, they once lined up with four forwards and launched a furious attack on York City's goal, hoping to save the defeat.
As for York City, Scaloni replaced the exhausted veteran Carlstrom with another veteran Gary Fletcher.
In addition, defender Ian Hart was also sent on the scene, replacing winger Lin Liangming.
Then York City's formation changed into one and began to counterattack on the wrong side.
Due to Amon's speed and Baker's height, Sheffield United had to be cautious when pressing forward to attack.
As time went by, Sheffield United was unable to attack for a long time and became more and more impatient.
In the 90th minute of the game, York City counterattacked Sheffield United again.
Takeyo Fuyasu made a pass from the wing, and Baker was about to attack the goal. The Sheffield United defender made a mistake and knocked the ball into his own goal. It was an own goal!
That also made Sheffield United completely desperate.
Previously, at Bramall Lane Stadium, York City relied on the outstanding performance of Amon, who was on the bench, to beat Sheffield United, a long-established team in English League One, 4-1 away from home, and gained a valuable three points.
——
The game between York City and Sheffield United was the last game to be played in that round of English League One. After that game, the latest standings after the eight rounds of English League One were released.
York City continues to top the list with an unbeaten record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 22 points. Bolton, which lost this round, fell to third place, while Scunthorpe rose to the top with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss and 17 points.
second.
The competition rules of English League One are a little different from those of League Two, that is, the top two teams in League One can directly qualify for the Championship, and the four teams ranked third to sixth in Yudong
They will participate in the two-round home and away elimination system of England's First Division promotion play-offs to compete for qualifications to participate in the English Championship in the Eastern season. Teams ranked 21st to 24th in the league will be relegated to English Second Division in the Eastern season.
In other words, if you want to be promoted, you must work hard to keep the top two positions, otherwise you will fall into a tragic promotion play-off.
At present, newly promoted York City, a small team competing in English League One for the first time in history, has actually beaten Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield United, Millwall, Charlton, Milton Keynes, etc.
A strong team in League One, at the top of the list, seems to be seeking to directly steal a promotion spot!
That also attracted the attention of many media in English football.
Of course, as an "Internet celebrity team", York City has actually received a lot of attention, but this time, they attracted attention because of their excellent record, not because of their "Internet celebrity boss"
”.
Heavyweight newspapers like "The Times" usually don't report much on English League One-related events, but this time they reported on that English League One team with the title "Pan Yi brings young dark horse to English League One".
League newly promoted team.
In addition to the excellent record, "The Times" focused on the formation process of the youth army.
"It is reported that all the operations of York City in the Xia Chun Sa Club market are done personally by the boss Pan Yi."
"Of course he has great reputation, including three generals of the Swedish national team and the former German international Westerman are willing to play in England's third-tier league."
"Among them, Carlstrom and Isaksson even gave up their retirement plans over Pan Yi and came to York City to take on the role of big brothers."
"What's more worth mentioning is the young people Pan Yi brought from all over the world. They were almost unknown in Europe before, but Pan Yi brought them from Canada, Japan, Cameroon, and China, and quickly
Establish a foothold in League One."
"Who does Thomas Armand reject? Who does Alphonso Davies reject? Before the start of the season, maybe it's the same as when people asked Isaac who he rejected and Kulusevski who he rejected during the European Cup. It's full of questions.
Confuse."
"But now, the whole of Europe knows Isaac and Kulusevski, and similarly, English League One teams also understand the advantages of Thomas Amon and Alphonso Davies."
"York City can use the old to introduce the new lineup, conquer League One, and achieve the top spot in League One."
"Do they really want to live up to the myth that they want to be promoted after entering the English League for the first time? If it really comes true, it will also mean that they will be promoted for two consecutive years..."
As a matter of fact, English League One has always been difficult to play.
A week later, York City welcomed Shrewsbury at home.
That team, which was ranked third from bottom and deep in the relegation zone, caused York City a lot of trouble.
Previously, the two sides were tied at 1:1, but York City relied on De Ligt's header to score a goal.
Although he did not win, De Ligt's performance was praised by the media and fans.
He was indeed a little irritable when he first came to York City, but after nearly two months of training in the League One, he has become very mature.
Of course, it has something to do with Westermann beside him.
That would negate the role of mentoring.
With Westermann, the German veteran, the Dutch defender is learning and improving quickly, and Westermann is also willing to teach De Ligt in training and games. This is a benign process.
Perhaps because of his improvement in defensive ability, De Ligt has more confidence to use his offensive strengths, and York City's tactical system also encourages him to do so.
Therefore, in the nine games so far, De Ligt has scored three goals. It can be said that he has become a powerful scoring tool for York City in the set-piece offense!
Fans and netizens also rated De Ligt very highly:
"Although 2.5 million euros seems very expensive in English League One, expensive things naturally have their own reasons."
"To score three goals in nine games is almost as efficient as many forwards. I just bought a defender and gave a good forward as a gift. Then the price will be cheap, right?"
"Pan Yi personally went to the Netherlands to buy it. He really didn't understand what we were worried about."
"But he heard that Pan Yi went to the Netherlands to ask if he could rent Westermann, and De Ligt would be a good addition."
"Using such a good product as a supplement? Are the top management of Ajax stupid?"
"Haha, if De Ligt does not go to York City, but stays in Ajax and is not kicked out, I think they will suffer a loss?"
"After two years of training, sell it to Chelsea for 25 million. It seems that Pan Yi can save Chelsea..."
Fans mention Chelsea because in the past week, the Blues actually lost two games in a row!
In fact, at the beginning of this season, Chelsea's performance under Arteta's leadership was not good. Since then, they have won three and drawn one.
Although it is slightly inferior to Guardiola's Manchester City, which has won all four games, it can at least be ranked second in the standings.
Unexpectedly, in the fifth round of the league, Chelsea actually lost to Klopp's Liverpool at their home court with a score of 1:2!
That defeat also ended Chelsea's consecutive unbeaten record in the league, and the number was fixed at 80 games.
At the same time, Chelsea's record of unbeaten home games was also ended.
Undefeated in 80 games in the five major leagues!
The second-placed AC Milan is undefeated for 58 games. This shows how amazing Chelsea's record is.
Perhaps because the record was broken, Chelsea's hearts in the East were a little unstable. In the sixth round of the match from the East, they challenged Arsenal away from home and were beaten 3:0.
"First lose to Liverpool, then lose to Arsenal, then go east and then lose to Manchester City. After Manchester City loses, they will lose to Manchester United, and then lose to Tottenham. If we go east, no one will lose."
Chelsea fans are worried about the team's future.
I bet the BIG6 this season are all coming in a big way.
After six rounds, Guardiola led Manchester City to six consecutive victories and topped the list.
Then Tottenham, who are also unbeaten, ranked second with 4 wins and 2 draws.
Coming from the east are Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United...
Only Chelsea fell behind, ranking eighth.
Many people have pointed out that if Chelsea does not make changes in time, not only will they lose the championship this season, but they may even fall out of the Champions League!
And on the premise that there are no major changes in the team's personnel, the undefeated record that Pan Yi led the team for so long has been broken so easily this season, which shows that the true core of the team is not that of Pan Yi.
Therefore, Pan Yima needs to return to Chelsea to replace Arteta!
There are even rumors that Chelsea's senior management is already looking for a new coach, and it is very likely that Arteta will resign in the near future!
But because of that statement, Pan Yi supported Arteta in an interview with reporters, saying that he should be given more time:
"First of all, he is now the owner of York City. The focus of his work is not on York City, so he will not coach any team in the short term."
"In addition, he is not confident about Arteta. He is a smart coach and knows how to learn from failures. Don't worry, give him time, he will surprise all the fans!"
"Of course, he will also give him the help he can to help the Blues get through the difficulties..."
In private life, Pan Yi will of course keep in touch with Arteta and give him his own advice.
In fact, the day after Chelsea lost to Arsenal, Pan Yi came to London to review Arteta's two defeats.
Where did the game go?
"First, the team's midfield defense must not be messed up, because the defensive formation is very clear, whether it is the two-chain + Kanter's position that has both vertical layering and horizontal coverage. If a winger is not active in returning to defense,
, then there will be a major gap in the midfield defensive chain in an instant, and the full-back may be sold."
"Secondly, the team cannot have so many personnel on one side that the coverage is in vain."
"I looked there. In the position at that time, Azpilicueta's marking error was not directed at Lallana, but at Klein who was covering the wing. If Lallana burst in, Azpilicueta would
Piliquita is embarrassed: Do you want to make up for it or not?”
Pan Yi pointed to the game video on the screen and gave Arteta a "make-up lesson."
In fact, Arteta's tactical study of Pan Yi was very good, but the problem was not too good.
The scripted style of play is not a big problem when it comes to dealing with weaker teams, because sometimes the individual abilities of Chelsea players can mask those problems to a certain extent.
But this season, whether it is Klopp or Wenger, Chelsea has conducted more detailed research and developed more targeted playing methods.
And Arteta is not very flexible in this regard. When facing strong opponents like Liverpool and Arsenal, it will lead to omissions in some positions, and he will be caught and beaten by the wrong leg, which results in continuous
Two losses.
"I looked there. Liverpool used a simple pass and cut to get deep into the heart of their defense. If Azpilicueta hadn't filled in in time, Liverpool would have been able to form a one-on-one or even a "2-on-0"."
"Look at the positioning of their two defense lines at that time: the midfielder was obviously to the right, Matic on the far left was slightly to the left of the center, and the back line was overall slightly to the right. That's why.
Said, the focus and coverage of the two lines of defense are fundamentally different, and there must be something wrong with both!"
"They are both good professional players, but why did they go wrong? It was because Klopp asked central defender Matip to come in from the left, which was his new style of play. At that time, their players were all
Didn’t notice that.”
"The eyes of Matic are interesting. He is staring at the ball holder in the middle. Matip, who is inserted on the left, is red. The left side of the midfield is not in his defense zone. And Aziz
Piliqueta took care of Klein near the sideline outside the screen. If there was a vacuum in that area for an instant, Matip inserted it from that line."
"Is there anyone at the place where it was inserted? Yes, but not Hazard. His defense is not enough to stop the wrong leg from advancing..."
With that said, Pan Yi opened another video.
Therefore, a similar situation occurred again when Arsenal missed the match, and it directly resulted in conceding a goal.
On the surface, the problem with conceding the ball that time was Azpilicueta first defending Theo Walcott and then making up for Bellerin's embarrassing performance, but in fact it was because Arsenal players were pulling out of the defensive gap.
.
When the attack started, Chelsea's defensive position was exactly the same as the goal Pan Yi analyzed just now.
When Walcott was in front, Matic simply regarded himself as a left midfielder and dealt with Walcott holding the ball first.
However, Arsenal was not in a hurry to attack and instead passed the ball to the left, and Chelsea's midfield defense moved to the right as a whole.
Walcott continued to penetrate into the penalty area quite ruthlessly. At this time, Hazard came back a little, but he was unable to guard Walcott in his area.
Logically speaking, the only solution at this time is for Azpilicueta to return to the center to cover Walcott, and Hazard to go to the wing to cover Bellerin, but no one made such an instant decision.
When Iwobi passed the ball outside the penalty area, Azpilicueta had no idea what to do.
Hazard did start to return to defense, but returning to defense at this time would not help at all. AZP could give up marking Walcott and try to block Bellerin first. Please know, even if I guard Walcott to death,
Bellerin was able to challenge the goalkeeper after receiving the ball.
Initially, it was a bit of a defensive effort that led to Arsenal's first goal.
"Their focus now is to attack Hazard's side, because everyone knows that Hazard's defensive ability is average."
"Of course, everyone knows Hazard's weaknesses on the defensive end. There is one reason why no one can touch him: the help he brings to the team on the offensive end is too great."
"So, under such circumstances, they would not hesitate to make some changes."
"Otherwise, he will often be forced to defend by the wrong leg, or he will be allowed to be too close to the sideline and too far from the goal. That will make his threat plummet."
"So, his suggestion is to change the formation to push Hazard to the front line to reduce his predicament..."
Then reject Pan Yi’s previous suggestions after research.
In those two games, in addition to being defensive, Hazard also struggled offensively.
Chelsea still looked for Hazard at the first opportunity, but it was difficult for Hazard to break through, so they could return the ball to the midfielder, and then the team started a series of slow-tempo frontcourt organization.
Hazard often catches the ball in the middle to look for penetration opportunities, but he is not a master of organization as a front midfielder. In the slow-paced state, it is difficult to make a decent contribution in the middle.
Chelsea's offense actually ends in many cases when the rhythm slows down. Under such circumstances, Chelsea's offense can easily fall into a dilemma where it cannot slow down but has to slow down.
Pan Yi's change of formation provided a good solution to maximize the frontcourt trio, especially Hazard's singles ability, and use a 3+X offensive plan to speed up the game.
That's a lot like Enrique's mistake with MSN.
Chelsea intercepted the ball in the midfield and launched a quick counterattack. After receiving the pass, Hazard had enough space to start the breakthrough.
Indeed, when he burst into the vicinity of the penalty area, the defensive forces of the other side had basically returned, but it was not the sideline but the penalty area line, and Hazard had enough ability to make a fuss there.
This is almost purely a matter of simplifying the complex and activating Hazard's personal attack power.
To sum it up, Pan Yi hopes to transfer the offensive tasks to the frontcourt trio to the greatest extent through formation changes, so that they have room to start and speed up.
When it comes to defense, we should rely more on the four players in the midfield to prevent stars like Hazard from falling into an offensive and defensive dilemma.
"He heard that Ming was red, and he will give it a try." Arteta nodded.
He also understands that in the top football matches, tactics are never static.
If he uses tactics to restrain me, I will come up with better tactics to restrain him. Then he will have to find my weaknesses and use players who can match the new tactics to restrain me.
Can the game continue to move forward in the process of rock, paper, scissors, and can the tactics be improved step by step in the process?
Right now, Arteta is just a "trainee" who has only been practicing for one year, so it is very unlikely that he can respond to such changes in a timely manner.
But it's good, he has a master named Pan Yi!
Just ask Pan Yi to come out and give some advice in time, so that Arteta can understand the mystery and then put it into practice.
In that kind of guidance and error correction process, a smart person like Arteta will of course apply what he has learned and draw inferences from one example!
In the end, Coco can really realize his own evolution, and he can understand how to improve his tactics without Pan Yi's guidance...
——
In October and January, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Hull City away from home.
In this game, Arteta changed the team's formation, and that change obviously had a good effect.
With goals from Hazard and Harry Kane, they defeated Wandering 2:0 away from home, ending their losing streak.
In the post-match press conference, Arteta also mentioned Pan Yi’s help:
"Pan Yi will always be his mentor. He can always help him when he is confused."
"He is very grateful for his help and now he has his thoughts straightened out."
"He believes that Chelsea can be on the right track from now on to defend the Premier League championship that originally belonged to it!"
During the same period, English League One held three rounds of matches.
York City first defeated Gillingham 2:0 at home, and then drew 2:2 with Coventry away from home.
This makes it difficult for York City to continue to occupy the top spot in League One before the new round of international matches.
Because of this fact, Pan Yi was certainly not happy.
Chelsea stopped their decline and York City continued to lead. What was he dissatisfied with?
Soon he was not so happy anymore.
Could it be because, in the middle of the international competition month, another team he paid close attention to lost! (End of Chapter)
