Chapter 501 Pan Yi joins the national football team?
Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly
The fact is that Lippi's invitation to Pan Yi to serve as the technical advisor to the Dragon National Team was always done in a low-key manner.
Even in the coaching team list announced after Lippi officially took over the Dragon State national team, Pan Yi's name was not included.
So I beg you not to mistake Pan Yi’s “specialization”.
He doesn't follow the coaching staff everywhere to inspect the national team players, and he doesn't often attend the coaching staff meetings of the national team. It doesn't seem appropriate to create a "formal establishment" for him.
What Lippi needs is whether Pan Yi can provide advice at critical moments.
Of course, if there is any dissatisfaction among Chinese football fans about the wrong team, it would be best if Pan Yi comes forward to help calm it down.
It is precisely because of this that after Pan Yi agreed to Lippi becoming the team's coach, he has been staying in Europe and has never been to Long Country.
And very few people know about it. The media doesn't know about it, and the fans don't know about it either.
But now, the "critical moment" has arrived.
After the first four rounds, the Long Guo team had 1 draw and 3 losses, with no victory and ranking last in the group. Gao Hongbo took the blame and resigned.
This game at Kunming Tuodong Stadium will also be "Silver Fox" Lippi's first official game for the Dragon Kingdom national team.
The Qatar team narrowly defeated Syria by one goal in the round, and while achieving its first victory in the top 12, it also gave up the bottom position to the Dragons.
It was a direct mismatch between the bottom one and the bottom two, and it was not at home. If it was unwinnable, then it would really be a GG.
Therefore, when the Dragon Kingdom national team players were gathering, Pan Yi also rushed to Dragon Kingdom from the UK.
As soon as he arrived at Kunming Changshui International Airport, Ma Zai was closely watched by the sharp-eyed local media.
Then, as the "Kunming Monthly" published a news headline on the front page titled "Pan Yi made a surprise appearance at the national football training ground", it quickly triggered a heated discussion across the country and even caused a carnival among netizens on the Internet.
After all, in the minds of almost all national football fans, is Pan Yi the only savior to save the national football team?
Although there is no doubt about the level and qualifications of Mr. Lippi, who can compare with Pan Yi now? Not to mention that Pan Yi is not one of our own people in the Dragon Kingdom!
Everyone also knows that shortly after it was officially announced that Lippi was appointed as the head coach of the national football team, it is unlikely that there will be any changes in the position, but the fans were excited by the news.
For no other reason, from Pan Yi being indifferent to the national football team, to helping the national football team, and then going to the training ground in person, that is at least a big progress!
Judging from the photo published on the front page of "Kunming Monthly", the focus is on the handsome Pan Yi, who is standing on the sidelines looking at the Dragon National football team at the training ground.
Next to Pan Yi are the national team's assistant coaches Massimiliano Madaloni and Narciso Pezzotti.
When Lippi signed with the national team, he wasn't the only one signing him.
In order to ensure the smooth development of coaching work, Lippi brought his entire Italian coaching team to the national football team.
This is obviously the same as Pan Yi's idea when he joined the Swedish national team, that is, he has acquaintances to work with, and his execution level can also be guaranteed.
For example, Madaloni, who has been in charge of youth training all year round, is a well-known youth training expert in Italy. He has an innate sense of the potential of young players.
Madaloni understands the team and is good at discovering talents. He worked in the Juventus youth training camp very early. In 2008, he became the coach of the Juventus youth team. In 2009, he served as an assistant to the famous coach Ferrara.
.
In May 2012, Madaloni followed Lippi to join Changzhou Hengtai, and was directly involved in the introduction of Elkeson and Zheng Long.
Madaloni is like Lippi's "Yongxuan". When Lippi is not on the team, he will directly assume the team's training responsibility; if Lippi is unable to attend the press conference, he will not be present as the acting coach.
His figure.
Madaloni is indispensable for Lippi's success in Changzhou Hengtai. The Italian with unique vision and flamboyant personality continues to assist Lippi and participate in every detail of the national football team's work.
Among Lippi's coaching team, Pezzotti is responsible for intelligence collection and provides corresponding strategic suggestions to Lippi through video analysis of wrong-leg tactics.
Since he is away from home all year round and rarely with the team, his exposure rate is not high. The Italian can be said to be Lippi's loyal assistant throughout his entire career. Since Lippi took charge of Juventus in 1994, Pezzotti has
Always by your side.
In 2004, Lippi became the coach of the Italian national team, and Pezzotti naturally became the deputy coach of the national team, and won the 2006 World Cup for the Azzurri.
Now that Lippi has become the head coach of the national football team, he has naturally brought over his old friend who has been with him for 22 years.
In addition to the two of them, there is also an assistant coach Fabrizio De Rosso, two physical coaches Claudio Gaudino, Massimo Waili, and goalkeeper coach Michelangelo Lampula
, including Coty, Castellachi, etc. from the rehabilitation and medical team...
All of them are old members of Lippi's team, and it is generally believed that their rich experience and resume will help them better improve the national football team's competitiveness.
And now, the two most demanding assistant coaches, Madaloni and Pezzotti, are accompanying Pan Yi to watch the players train. What does that mean???
"According to reliable information obtained by reporters from outside sources, Pan Yi's trip has one purpose, which is to help the national football team prepare for the match with Qatar. And according to reliable sources, Pan Yi actually serves as a member of the new national team management team.
I’m looking for a new position.”
"But this position bypasses the appointment process of the Football Association. It is more of Lippi's personal invitation, so it does not belong to the official coaching team of the Football Association. It can be said that Pan Yi's appearance this time is not a success.
Football Association, otherwise it will deny Longguo football and the vast number of Chinese football fans!"
"What is the position in Buyang? What kind of tasks is Pan Yi responsible for? The most important thing is that Pan Yi is finally here!"
The news quickly spread, not only attracting national attention on the Internet, but also media reporters.
Soon, all kinds of news and information were dug up.
Including Lippi, before officially taking over as the head coach of the national football team, he made a special trip to the UK to meet with Pan Yi;
When the national football coaching staff started working later, Pan Yi also held a video conference with Lippi's Italian coaches to discuss some issues;
Pan Yi also participated in the formulation of the latest national football training roster, including the selection of Lin Liangming, who recently performed well in the English League One. Did it come from Pan Yi's suggestion...
Putting all the news together, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:
Pan Yi really joined the national football coaching staff!
Many media mistakenly commented on this, believing that Pan Yi's entry into the national team would undoubtedly be an epoch-making event.
"Although Pan Yi is not the head coach, he can undoubtedly cheer up the hearts of all Dragon Country fans and give a shot in the arm to the demoralized national team players."
"Due to the rejection of Pan Yi by the Football Association over the past few years, an irreparable rift has developed between Pan Yi and the Football Association. His continued refusal of invitations to the national team has become the biggest regret among Chinese football fans."
"But now, he has chosen to cooperate with Lippi's team, which is a way for him to save the country through a curve. He will not be cruel to Dragon Country football, nor will he be cruel to Dragon Country fans!"
"Whether it is from a technical and tactical perspective or from a personal influence, Pan Yi can become the top world-famous coach in football. They believe that he can bring some brand new changes to Long Country football."
"Even if he doesn't give him a leg up, judging from Lippi's trust in him, Pan Yi will definitely play an important role in the national football coaching team. Look at Arteta's Chelsea record after Pan Yi's guidance.
, they have reason to be confident in him."
"Well, they must also take into account that the current environment of the national football team is indeed quite bad. If they make a slight mistake in the next game, they may not even have a theoretical chance to qualify. So they should not be in a situation where the results are
We should not place too much blame on the coaching team, and we should not place unrealistic high hopes on Pan Yi."
"In the past, they always said that the national team needed a famous coach, so they always called on Pan Yi to coach the Dragon Country national team. But now, their calls have been partially realized, Lippi has become the head coach, and Pan Yi
Yi also joined the coaching team. They should give more confidence and patience to that team composed of the world's top coaches!"
Not only foreign media, but many newspapers in Europe also reported such news.
"The Times" stated that Pan Yi really couldn't bear the loneliness and finally asked to participate in front-line coaching work.
"The world's top football coach like Pan Yi should stay in the football field. Although it is not official or the head coach, it is better than staying in the office or traveling around the world, right?"
"It would really be a pity for fans all over the world if we couldn't see Pan Yi's unpredictable tactics on the court."
"Be it Scaloni's York City or Arteta's Chelsea, it's obvious that they can see Pan Yi's Yongxuan behind their excellent results, but this time Pan Yi was faced with a bigger challenge.
A daunting challenge.”
"Pan Yi's tactical ability is undoubted, but the level of Longguo football is not high, and the gap with the European leagues is very obvious. Apart from Lin Liangming and Wu Lei, can other players adapt to Pan Yi's requirements?
, that’s a pretty big question.”
"And now that the Dragon Country team is ranked last in Group A of the World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the possibility of qualifying is very slim. Is he really likely to come back to life?"
"Then again, maybe they should believe him, because he has never been a football coach who can turn bad things into magic!"
And because of such a storm of public opinion, the Dragon Football Association, caught in the middle, seemed a bit embarrassed.
Let me say something. It seems to have nothing to do with me. Pan Yi is Lippi’s personal consultant.
Let's not say anything. Is Pan Yi really here to help the national football team? As the competent authority of the national football team, wouldn't it be too rude to not express welcome?
Maybe the fans will think that the Football Association is squeezing out Pan Yi...
Initially, the official website of the National Football Association issued a statement to the effect that "Mr. Lippi has all the power to coach the coaching team, including hiring technical consultants, etc., and the National Football Association regards him as a member of the national football coaching team."
Become a formal member and provide the greatest support.”
Pan Yi was not mentioned in a word, but Pan Yi was not mentioned in every sentence.
Is this considered a good show by Pan Yi, and can it also give an explanation to fans across the country?
Pan Yi has come to help the national football team regardless of past grudges. The Football Association must have an attitude!
And that "attitude" further confirmed the rumors that Pan Yi entered the national team.
Foreign public opinion simply fell into a carnival. Everyone gave Pan Yi high praise for his move to join the national team. At the same time, they also believed that this was the most correct and most popular decision made by the Chinese Football Association in its history.
As for the national team, fans and public opinion generally treated it rationally.
On the one hand, whether you believe optimistically or not, just give Lippi and Pan Yi time, they will definitely be able to bring a qualitative leap to the national football team and the Long Country football team;
But at the same time, they all expressed disappointment that such a dream combination came too late, and it would be difficult to come back from the dead and lead the national football team to reverse the situation.
"The national football team's hope of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup is very slim, but they still support Lippi and Pan Yi and strive to play well in the remaining games in Chengdu. They can accept whatever the results are."
"As long as Pan Yi is here, they firmly believe that Longguo football will return to the World Cup in 2022!"
——
At noon, before it was training time, the comprehensive training area of the Kunming National Football Training Center had already started to get busy.
The field maintenance staff are busy carrying out the last field maintenance and inspection before training to ensure that the two fields required for the training session at noon tomorrow can be put into use intact.
Pezzotti is leading the staff of the data analysis team to place various instruments and equipment throughout the training ground and arrange the training site.
An antenna has been set up on the sidelines, and staff are using laptops to adjust the equipment.
Madaloni, DeRoso, Gaudino, Waili and others were all at the training ground setting up the venue, and the entire coaching staff and working team were preparing training programs in an orderly manner.
The players arrived at the locker room half an hour earlier than the scheduled training time. Is that because each training session will start and end strictly according to the time, and the players must complete the warm-up before training, so they must arrive early.
After the players arrive in the locker room, staff will immediately deliver a set of training equipment, including vests, socks, sneakers, shorts, etc.
The most familiar one is the sports vest, which has a small rectangular wearable device on it. After the player wears the vest, the device just sticks to the spine of the back and does not affect the player's activities.
These devices can not only collect all the players' sports data on the field, but also transmit the collected data to the computer through the antenna on the side of the field, and then analyze and process it through the supporting software, so that the coach can use the on-site data.
to examine the performance of the players.
With the rise of Pan Yi in European football in the past few years, the data analysis he admires has gradually been valued, and the equipment that collects player sports data has gradually become an illusion that is sought after by major teams. As a
Lippi, a world-famous coach, will certainly not let his team lack such high-tech products.
As a national team player, except for players like Lin Liangming and Wu Lei who have received similar training models in Europe, most people have the feeling of "Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden".
When they played in the Chinese Super League, they mainly played whatever they wanted, but I had never seen anything with technological content!
In fact, that is one of the reasons why Pan Yi is willing to join Lippi's team, that is, Lippi understands that such things can greatly help the team's training and competition, and does not require too much communication and exchange.
Everyone who joins Lippi's team has seen the world and knows how to use such tools to help, which makes it even more worry-free.
Otherwise, Qifu Quanfeng will cooperate with some elm-headed people, and maybe Pan Yi will do everything by himself. Then how can he be a leisurely technical consultant?
And now, that professional coaching team has obviously given the national football players a little Italian shock.
Rigorous, thoughtful, focused and meticulous, this is everyone's first impression of the coaching staff.
When all the players were neatly dressed and stood in two rows at the training ground, Lippi brought everyone from his coaching team to the array.
They were all wearing the same red and white uniforms of the national team. Among them, the hot man was still so eye-catching and eye-catching.
Pan Yi! He will officially appear there tomorrow!
"Welcome to the new national team, Lippi or not."
Silver Fox's faint words were spoken in Italian.
After the translation, more than 20 people present applauded.
Then each member of the coaching staff introduced themselves.
And when Pan Yi said in Chinese: "Hello everyone, is he Pan Yi?", the atmosphere in the audience became much more lively!
Some of the players are very young, but some are already veterans in their thirties, but everyone looks at Pan Yi with deep conviction and even trust in their eyes.
There is a saying that is very wrong, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
In the past few years, Pan Yi has become very famous, not only in the world football world, but also in the Dragon Country football world, he has been elevated to an almost god-like lofty status.
Do foreign players have high praise for Pan Yi? Especially when the national team is at a low stage, everyone has an almost blind affirmation of Pan Yi.
Just ask him to join the national team, and the revitalization of Longguo football is in sight, which is not what almost everyone thinks.
And now, Pan Yi is really here.
That not only greatly boosted the confidence of the fans, but also greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the players.
Even the best players in the world are eager to play under Pan Yi, let alone the players from the Dragon Kingdom.
It doesn't matter if he is the head coach. Do you remember AC Milan back then? Pan Yi also served as assistant coach, which also made that Milan team achieve the Champions League and Triple Crown!
And now York City, under the leadership of Pan Yi, who is not the owner, is also invincible in English League One, heading towards the English Championship.
Is Pan Yi's magic power really so great that he doesn't even need to have the most direct power to inject his own strength into a team?
And Pan Yi said those words softly, without saying anything more, he patted the shoulders of Lin Liangming and Wu Lei, two "old friends", and retreated to the coaching team.
After all, he is only a consultant or a supporting role now. Of course, he wants to give up the main stage to Lippi.
Pan Yi also read the players' excitement and expectations from their eyes, but to him, such a "meeting gift" would not feel strange.
In today's world, most players would be so hungry if they had the opportunity to cooperate with Pan Yi!
Pan Yi now feels more responsibility. He never wants to let anyone down, so this is a lie.
"He believes that everyone has a very clear understanding of the current environment and situation of the national team. He will tell you the specifics soon. What he wants to tell everyone is that they have no way out and are out of line.
They can win that game in Qatar and cannot accept any other compromise."
Lippi stared at everyone present very seriously. He had to unify everyone's thinking.
"There is not much time left for them to prepare for the game, so during the week when Dong comes, he needs each of us to fully cooperate with him and the coaching staff. Every player must be 100% committed.
, and he will determine Dongdong's starting lineup based on his performance during that training period."
It is slightly different from the previous international match month. During that national team training camp, there was only one game, which was to miss Qatar at home.
After that, the next time there is a competition in the East, it won’t be until March next year.
If it can win, then the Dragon National Team will probably retain a glimmer of hope of qualifying. During that long waiting period, the national football team will also have a relatively relaxed public opinion environment, and everyone's pressure will not be so great.
But if you lose or draw, the consequences are needless to say.
Therefore, Lippi's first match with the national team was actually a veto match!
"He doesn't want to say more unnecessary words, and he doesn't like to say a lot of high-sounding polite words. He just wants to tell everyone that we have no choice now."
"If we want Xietong to bear the infamy he has suffered for many years, if we want to reverse the current unfavorable situation of the national team, and if we really want to participate in the World Cup, then we have a choice..."
"Then go all out! And believe in their coaching team. Pan Yi is the best coach in the country and the best coach in the world. He helped us invite him. He will also give us the best
Technical and tactical guidance!”
With that said, Lippi glanced at Pan Yi.
Pan Yi understood, and continued the old man's words: "They want to win, so they want to score more goals than wrong legs. Therefore, the focus of their training in those days will be whether to attack tactics..."
Does that mean Lippi just asked Pan Yi to start the first tactical lesson?
And this is also a signal, that is, in that Dragon Country team, Pan Yi is not as simple as holding a consultant title.
For many things, especially tactics, it would be wrong to follow what Pan Yi said!
And why does Pan Yi seek to emphasize offense?
Is it because the Qatari team in front of you is really average in strength? In the previous game, the Dragon Kingdom team had a lot of advantages on the scene, but they couldn't score a goal.
Can Pan Yi try to reverse this situation and focus on offense? Otherwise, if you can't score a goal, you'll lose everything!
But soon, the national players became a little confused.
After all, Pan Yi wants to remember the position of all teammates firmly in his mind, which area the ball is in, what situation he encounters, where to pass it, how to pass it, and where the players should be.
When it’s time to choose to run to respond, where to run...
Pan Yi has very detailed tactical requirements for all those details.
It was the first time for the national players to come into contact with such a complicated tactical system, and they were all stunned by it.
Pan Yi didn't get angry, but encouraged Yidong's players, saying that it was indeed very cumbersome for Yidong to come into contact with such tactics for the first time, but he gradually became familiar with it and sorted it out clearly.
When everyone performs their duties, the results will be seen.
Wu Lei and Lin Liangming, two players who have received that kind of tactical training in Europe, have become the "teachers" of the national football team and can help them get familiar with it in actual training.
The fact is, Pan Yi's kind of tactical training is not the most complicated.
After all, it only took less than a week for Ye Yi to go from the national team training to playing in Qatar.
In such a short period of time, it is obviously not feasible to achieve rapid progress in tactics, especially for the national football team that has always been in the world.
Therefore, Pan Yi asked the players to have a basic concept in their heads, and then according to the changes in formation and personnel adjustments, they can maximize the offensive effect.
At other times, Lippi's coaching staff is more focused on adjusting the players' physical fitness and status to adjust to a rhythm suitable for the game.
As time passed day by day, the day of November 15th was quickly approaching.
The key battle between the Dragons and Qatar at home is about to begin! (End of this chapter)
