When Pan Yi woke up from a full sleep, he was still immersed in the carnival atmosphere of winning the game in front of 100,000 Iranians last night, and the cheers of thousands of Dragon Country fans seemed to be ringing in his ears.
After the team played in Iran, they flew back to BJ from Tehran overnight and then disbanded on the spot.
Because the players need to return to their clubs as soon as possible to prepare for their respective leagues, and European international players like Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning naturally fly directly from Iran to Germany and the Netherlands.
As for Pan Yi, of course he went back to York City with Lin Liangming.
But even in the UK, Pan Yi can feel the joy this game brings to the people of the entire country.
Three consecutive victories, and even defeats against South Korea and Iran, the two major victims of the national football team, have made news about the national football team firmly occupy the top of the hot searches, stable and unshakable.
When Pan Yi opened the AB website to look at his homepage, he also found that there were tens of thousands of comments under the recently updated video.
In fact, Pan Yi did not make a video about the national football team. After all, he is not the theoretical leader in the national football team. Doing so would be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally.
So his latest video on the AB website is actually about York City's FA Cup match against Swansea. It probably captured everyone's celebration after promotion.
After Alphonso Davis passed an opponent's player, he was not anxious at all, because he clearly saw that Karlstrom and Kulusevski had already come up, and high center Baker was
Firmly occupy the most advantageous position in the penalty area. In this case, hastily breaking forward will undoubtedly waste the opportunity.
Bristol Rovers' head coach Clark is very smart and perceptive. He knows that his team's strength will definitely not be able to overwhelm York City, and the opponent has home advantage and will definitely look down upon him.
At this time, Bristol Rovers acted like a snake that was caught seven inches. The forwards could not break through York City's defense, but York City clung to the loopholes in the defense, so they played all kinds of football.
Uncomfortable.
After the game started, Bristol Rovers turned the tables and completely overwhelmed York City in terms of momentum.
"We have to make changes at the left back, otherwise it will be too late if we score again."
At this time, Scaloni also seized on the opponent's loopholes. Knowing that their right back was strong in offense and weak in defense, and had insufficient defensive capabilities, he asked Alphonso Davies to continue attacking the wing and seize the opponent's loopholes.
Bugs are in hot pursuit.
But what I didn't expect was that Bristol Rovers played very fiercely today, and the two wingers were very fast. In comparison, the reaction of the York City players seemed to be half a beat slower.
When a game is given national significance, it is really completely different from an ordinary game...
Also having the same headache is Pan Yi in the stands.
In general, the Dragon Kingdom team has gone from being hopeless and on the verge of elimination at the beginning, to now being able to maintain three points and compete for two, or even compete for first place. It is simply a miracle!
It is precisely because of this that the victory over Iran seems so important now. The difference between one point and three points is really big!
Now everyone across the country is celebrating. From the most authoritative party journals to ordinary street tabloids, they all focus on reporting on this victory.
The next game is an away game against Swindon. In fact, if you win the next game, you can still enter the Championship, but there is still a big difference between winning away from home and winning at home...
When passing by the York City players, they still had very annoying smiles on their faces, as if to say: "Hey, is this York City, which is ranked first in English League One? This is who has reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup."
York City? That's all..."
Alphonso Davis leaned on the opponent and cleverly stopped the ball. He first pretended to move towards the left sideline, but suddenly knocked the ball back with his right foot. With a pull of his left foot, he was deceived into shifting his center of gravity.
It is no longer possible for the defensive player to the left to stop him.
Baker comes forward, Kulusevski and Armand are separated on the wings, the three midfielders are Karlström, Rice and Alonso, and the four defenders are still Alphonso Davis and West.
Man, De Ligt, Jianyang Fuyasu, goalkeeper Isaacson.
The results of the seventh round were South Korea 1:0 Syria, Uzbekistan 1:0 Qatar, and Iran 1:2 Dragon Kingdom.
so……
0:2, the red scoreboard on the West Siberia stadium looks so shocking!
This surprised Pan Yi in the stands.
Players' psychological problems can only be left to young people to adjust, feel, and then improve.
And it can be dealt with tactically.
Ranked first, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup, with high morale, facing the ninth-ranked team at home, what reason is there for losing?
This resulted in him not doing enough preparation before the game. At least he did not have a good grasp of the players' psychology. In addition, he was a little restrained in tactics, which made the game passive from the beginning.
When you are only one step away from success, how can you calm yourself down, regard it as an ordinary game, and then deal with it easily?
Therefore, they are different from most other teams that came to Western Siberia. They came in the opposite direction and put pressure on the home team. Then they attacked York City's weaknesses from the beginning and did not let York City slow down.
Get angry.
4. Longguo has 3 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses and 10 points.
Therefore, the reputation of Lippi's coaching team has skyrocketed!
And Pan Yi's influence in China is at its peak.
At the same time, Kulusevski also moved from the right winger position to the midfielder, and Aman moved from the left to the right.
And Alonso obviously trusted him a lot and passed the ball directly to his feet with one kick.
Obviously, Pan Yi was analyzing the current situation and hidden dangers on the field with him, and gave him his own suggestions.
Especially for the York City players whose momentum had been suppressed before, once the pressure is released, the anger caused by the rebound will be enough to crush any opponent.
This is a problem that many young players will face, and it has also become a hurdle in the growth of many players.
It's a bit risky, but worth a try!
Thinking about it, Scaloni looked up at the stands behind him, and Pan Yi was sitting not far behind them. He was looking at him with concern and nodded to him, as if he was saying, just bet on this.
A handful!
Scaloni gritted his teeth, walked to the sidelines, and began to deploy this new formation!
It didn't take long for the players on the court to receive Scaloni's new instructions and immediately follow the head coach's arrangements.
6, Qatar has 1 win, 6 losses and 3 points.
Even York City club officials have prepared some celebration ceremonies.
Scaloni on the sidelines looked very angry at the performance of his players. If De Zerbi hadn't held him down, he might have torn down the ceiling of the coaching bench.
When I was a little overwhelmed, I came to help in time.
Of course, in fact, with Alphonso Davies' ability, he would not be bad even if he really plays as a winger, and he will even often appear in the winger position when he is in the Canadian national team in the future.
Especially the wing guarded by Alphonso Davis. Although he is very fast and can return to defense in time, after all, he still focuses on offense and neglects defense. His defensive position and interception ability are still a little bit behind.
Scaloni has a headache!
After he stopped the ball, he adjusted and before the opponent's full-back arrived, he passed the ball into the penalty area with his big foot.
However, York City obviously does not intend to just give up. It has been tricked twice. If it does not regain some ground, it will not be York City!
The threat from the left was gone, and York City finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it is no longer important to care about who is a fan or not.
If you take into account Pan Yi's status in world football, it is even less comparable!
However, whether the national football team will really create a miracle in the end and break through the group stage in one fell swoop is not yet known so soon.
However, the Bristol Rovers players saw him advancing so quickly and thought he was going to continue moving forward, so they immediately stepped forward to block the position, but instead leaked the space behind him.
Then he nodded slowly.
It was the same routine. In just ten minutes, York City was scored twice by Bristol Rovers.
This is also the highest point that York City Club can reach in its history!
In this way, after seven rounds, the points ranking of Group A is as follows:
7 points gained, which also brings York City's points to 93 points after 41 rounds in English League One.
But at the moment the goalkeeper landed, he saw a red figure approaching from far away, kicking the ball he saved, then raising his arms crazily in celebration, running towards the stands where the fans were, and
He even made some exaggerated celebration movements excitedly.
It seems that they are still 2 points behind Uzbekistan, but they have a head-to-head confrontation later, and the Dragon Kingdom is still playing at home.
And everyone can see that in just a few months, the national football team has transformed from a clown ridiculed by the whole people to a hero praised by everyone. Who is the biggest contributor?
Pan Yi took out the phone.
Karlström deliberately missed it, and Kulusevski, who was following behind, caught up with him, stopped the ball, and shot angrily, all in one go!
The ball drew a strange arc in the air, then dropped rapidly in the penalty area, grazing the crossbar and entering the net, 2:1!
It can be said that media reporters and fans across the country now worship him as a god!
Think about it, what was it like when Milu led the team to the World Cup?
This time, Pan Yi came to turn the tide for the national football team at the most critical moment, and it seemed that the difficulty was much higher than that of Milu.
In fact, Pan Yi also found that many of the people who came here to comment were not fans. For example, some did not understand what offside was, what the formation meant, and so on.
Don't underestimate this kind of momentum. Sometimes teams of equal strength can score big scores because of their momentum.
At this time, Rice dropped to the central defender position, partnering with De Ligt to play as a double central defender, while Westerman played at right back.
Pan Yi doesn't want to disappoint so many fans.
Then the ninth round of the home game against Uzbekistan will be on August 31, which will take more than two months.
In the 45th minute, which was the final stage of the first half, Fuyasu Kenyo successfully intercepted the ball on the left, dribbled the ball forward himself, and then handed it to Alphonso Davis in front.
It is now March, and the next eighth round match against Syria will be played on June 13, with an interval of three months.
Sure enough, he is the boss who knows the most about football in the world!
"Don't put too much pressure on them!" De Zerbi advised. "There have been a lot of games recently and their physical recovery is not ideal. In addition, the pressure of this game is too great. They are still young and they can't handle it!"
Under the watchful eyes of nearly 20,000 fans at home, Bristol Rovers managed to penetrate York City's defense twice in a row within 10 minutes, which could not be easily breached even by Premier League teams.
3, Uzi has 4 wins, 2 losses and 12 points.
Kulusevski looked up and saw Jianyang Fuyasu who was still running quickly towards the baseline. He immediately passed the ball behind him and directly found Jianyang Fuyasu who successfully countered offside.
"Play football, not war."
This has also resulted in York City's current momentum being completely suppressed.
Normally he would not interfere with Scaloni's decision, but this time it was a little different.
Although they are currently only ninth in the standings, the gap between them and sixth place is not big, and they still have a good chance of reaching the play-offs.
"You are the savior of the national football team!"
1. Iran has 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 14 points.
This time it was Karlstrom's long shot. He received Alonso's cross from the front of the penalty area and scored the equalizer.
But in terms of actual implementation, it is true that a relatively large number of personnel will be mobilized. No wonder Scaloni did not think of it for a while.
More importantly, Bolton, ranked third, currently has only 79 points!
93-79 = 14 points, and the English League One, a total of 46 rounds, was completely over in only five games.
This means that if York City wins the next round, they will qualify for promotion to the English Championship next season four rounds in advance!
As for the left back, let Fu Yasu Jianyang move from the right to the left to play, so as to stabilize the defense on this side.
Then, the frown on Scaloni's face relaxed.
After all, York City is currently lagging behind, and Alphonso Davies is the team's most important wing offensive weapon. Scaloni will definitely not want to move this position at this time.
2. South Korea has 4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses and 13 points.
In other words, as long as the Dragon Kingdom can seize this opportunity to defeat its opponent, it can overwhelm Uzbekistan with its own strength and occupy the third place in the group!
In the 35th minute of the first half, York City finally took a breath and recovered a goal!
The West Siberia stadium was filled with cheers!
York City has had an arrogant momentum for a long time. With this momentum, they can even defeat Arsenal and Tottenham. They can also achieve reversals and win in tough battles again and again.
Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Pudi was standing at the near post. He instinctively pounced and saved Baker's ball towards the far post.
But once the momentum was suppressed, York City was like a disarmed soldier, standing in a hail of bullets, waiting to be shot.
The head coach of Bristol Rovers also asked the team to strengthen their defense in a timely manner. It was obvious that in the first half they only intended to maintain their two-goal lead.
5. Syria has 2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses and 8 points.
Pan Yi has found the answer to the question.
More importantly, York City's two full-backs on the wings are both players who are good at defense and can well block Bristol Rovers' rapid wing attacks.
Although it is said that if you want to get the top two, you still have to look at the faces of others, especially the results of Iran and South Korea, but at least when it comes to competing for the third place in the group, Longguo has firmly held its hope in its own hands!
I can only feel aggrieved to Scaloni, otherwise if the kick continues like this, if a tragedy occurs, all the people of Yorkshire will not be able to sleep well today!
——
"What, the boss's phone number?" Scaloni took the phone in surprise and listened.
But how to reverse the current situation?
Why is the World Cup the largest human event in the world?
It's not just a sports event, it's actually more like a large gathering that brings together people of different skin colors, different beliefs, and different countries to achieve mankind's favorite competition in a peaceful way.
"Pan Yi, I want to give birth to monkeys with you, many, many monkeys!..."
Scaloni gradually calmed down.
After all, since today's game has the meaning of "accomplishing all efforts in one battle", Scaloni also sent all the main players.
Although Bristol Rovers still specialized in playing on the left, under the guarding of Fuyasu Jianyang, the opponent's winger Billon Moore hardly got any chance, especially after several fierce but accurate tackles by Fuyasu Jianyang.
, he was completely withered.
Looking at the first round, it started on September 1 last year, so the top 12 matches in Asia alone will take a whole year. If you add the previous top 40 matches, it will take even longer.
He also admitted that the current situation is largely due to his being too optimistic.
It's just that Scaloni doesn't seem ready to make any adjustments to the formation yet.
Therefore, Pan Yi could only put aside the national football affairs and pay attention to the situation of York City Club first.
——
When Pan Yi returned to the Dragon Kingdom and followed the national football team to destroy South Korea and fuck Iran, York City had already played four English League One games.
After equalizing the score, York City seemed to be more energetic and showed a fierceness like a tiger coming out of the gate.
Although he often provided assists when playing as a full-back, it was rare for him to play as a full-fledged winger today, and he was extremely happy.
He felt that this game exposed too many problems, especially in terms of the players' psychological quality, and York City did not respond well enough in this regard.
Under the strong attack of Bristol Rovers, York City's left wing was completely suppressed, and as a whole, York City was also dragged into the rhythm of Bristol Rovers, and was led by the opponent.
Moreover, if the correct tactics can suppress the opponent's performance, it will also help restore the self-confidence of our own players. From the side, it can also help the psychological adjustment of young players.
And Pan Yi is a native of Longguo. As the best head coach recognized in the world, he is already very popular among Chinese people. Now he leads his national team to defeat powerful enemies. Of course, everyone is even more fond of him.
Highly praised.
Even a draw would be enough. Because York City's goal difference is 25 goals higher than Bolton Wanderers, chasing so many goal differences in five games is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Even though the score is behind now, he seems more excited than ever.
The last one is the tenth round, which will be an away game against Qatar on September 5.
It's very simple. Pan Yi's role in this team can be seen and heard by everyone, whether it is in the live broadcast footage or in the mouths of various coaches and players.
This is football!
It has this power to unite everyone!
For example, in the 1998 World Cup, when the French team won the championship, it is said that France's GDP increased by several percentage points that year.
But this does not prevent them from putting their greatest enthusiasm into it.
Breakthrough from the wing, cross from the bottom, and shot by the center.
When Alonso took the ball, Alphonso Davies put his hands up and shouted.
After such a "big shift", York City still maintains the same formation, but the players in most positions have changed, and the offensive combination has also become Alphonso Davies + Baker + Amon.
Although York City's offensive power on both wings has been greatly affected by the promotion of Lin Liangming and Kulusevski to the national team, Scaloni still directed the team to achieve a good record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
.
In addition, after such adjustments, Bristol Rovers' preparations before the game will be largely ineffective, because suddenly the opposing players have changed!
"Here, give it to me!"
If he can really bring the national football team to the World Cup in the end, Milu will really not be able to compare with him.
After Iran's unbeaten streak was broken by Dragon Kingdom, they were also caught up in points by South Korea and Uzbekistan. They need to perform more stably in the next three games.
After this series of adjustments, York City really began to stabilize the situation.
When the national football team qualified for the World Cup qualifiers for the first time in 2001, it was also a national carnival.
Everyone stared blankly as the opponent's players celebrated with their own fans and then ran all the way back to their own half.
However, being homeless in Bristol is not a bad thing.
After struggling for 5 minutes, Bristol Rovers announced that the goal had been lost again.
Scaloni had to admit that this was indeed a very good change.
Today, 20,000 York City fans came here happily to witness York City defeat Bristol Rovers at home.
But the fans of Dragon Kingdom don’t care about this, they just keep commenting below:
"Master Pan Yi, I kneel down for you!"
But even so, Baker still found an opportunity, found the right spot for Fuyasu Jianyang's cross, and hit it head on.
National team games, especially qualifiers such as the World Cup and European Cup, are played at every opportunity between leagues, and often last for several months, or even a year or two.
Everyone knows that as long as they defeat Bristol Rovers, York City will enter the Championship four rounds ahead of schedule. This is another historic moment!
This goal greatly inspired the York City fans and also boosted the morale of York City.
This tactic is not particularly complicated, and the purpose is to strengthen the offense;
Therefore, they also want to use this battle with the top team York City to boost their morale and achieve their goals in one go!
On the contrary, when York City faced the "final kick" of being promoted to the English Championship, they obviously thought too much.
But this is not what York City cares about.
It was against this background that York City faced the challenge of Bristol Rovers at home.
Alphonso Davis saw the opportunity and made a direct cross pass to the center.
Qatar has bid farewell to the 2018 World Cup ahead of schedule after losing to Uzbekistan.
Except for letting Dragon Country international Lin Liangming, who played all two games against South Korea and Iran, sit on the bench to rest, everything that could be played was played.
Sheffield United is still ranked second with 85 points.
That is to move Alphonso Davies forward and directly to the left winger position to make full use of his offensive ability.
Alphonso Davies picked up the ball with his back and knocked it back to Karlström who was following in the back row, who then passed it to Kulusevski.
Pan Yi looked at the comments with joy. This kind of happiness was something he had never experienced before when he was coaching at the club.
As for the Dragon Kingdom team, they finally surpassed Syria and rose to fourth place in the standings!
Of course, the reason why Chinese football fans are so happy is that in addition to defeating Iran and South Korea, the two "bad guys" who have bullied the Chinese football team for many years, another important reason is that the current situation of the Chinese football team's qualifying in the group stage has also become optimistic.
In every attack, Baker was like a nail, firmly nailed into the opponent's penalty area. However, Bristol Rovers did not dare to be careless at all against the top scorer in the English League. They often even arranged for two
A tall player is near him.
This may be the greatest meaning of football.
None other than Alphonso Davies!
Alphonso Davies, who plays forward today, scored the go-ahead goal for York City, 3:2!
Pan Yi, like all the York City fans in the stands, spontaneously started fighting from the stands the moment the goal was scored, shouting loudly, and the York City team anthem suddenly sounded in the stands.
Gradually, the singing spread throughout the West Siberia Stadium!
York City achieved another great comeback in this key game that determines whether they can be promoted to the English Championship!
