A few days before the European Cup final, Pan Ying took Valentina to play around Hamburg.
Like Milan, Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, second only to the capital Berlin, and is one of the richest cities in Europe.
Moreover, it is also Germany's second financial center, Germany's most important seaport and largest foreign trade center. It is also an economic and cultural metropolis in northern Germany, and is known as the "World Bridge City".
St. James's Church, St. Catherine's Church, Fusmer Memorial Tower, History Museum, German Theater, State Opera House, etc. are all famous tourist attractions.
So the two of them can wander around and go shopping.
Pan Yi can calm down and study his final signing target.
Although members of the national team who can participate in the European Cup are often expensive, Pan Yi still found a good guy.
That is the Danish international Kjaer, who is only 23 years old this year.
This central defender, who can serve as the double captain of AC Milan and the Danish national team in the future, is 1.91 meters tall and has excellent physical talent.
He is very strong and has a perfect physique, as well as strong aerial ability and heading skills.
Although his foot skills are average and he is not very suitable to serve as a ball-playing central defender, this matter can be left to another central defender.
The combination of a ball-playing central defender and a defensive central defender can make the team's overall defense more stable.
After all, Hamburg is different from Milan. They are a weak team, and the overall strength of the team is not outstanding in the Bundesliga, otherwise they would not have fallen into the relegation zone.
Even if Pan Yi buys a few players this season, he won't be able to instantly jump to a level where he can overpower his opponents.
Therefore, Pan Yi prefers to use Mourinho's 4231 defensive counterattack tactics in terms of formation and main style of play, at least when facing strong teams.
There are several locations that are typical.
For example, the forward line is full of "speed dogs" like Vardy, Sun Xingmin, and Wu Lei.
Coupled with De Bruyne's diagonal pass from midfield and various dashes in the frontcourt to counterattack, the efficiency is certainly not low.
Then for the goalkeeper position, Pan Yi chose Navas, who is more mature and has better goal-line skills, as the last line of defense, instead of going to Brazil to buy the future Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson who has better ball skills. p>
A weak team must first ensure that they don't concede goals and concede fewer goals, and then consider other things.
Based on this idea, there is no need to use a two-ball central defender configuration in the back line.
From a spiritual perspective, Kjaer is also a very good player. Being a double captain is a testament to his leadership.
Therefore, Kjaer still meets Pan Yi's selection criteria.
Of course, another point is that Kjaer, who is currently playing for Wolfsburg, did not perform particularly well after being loaned to Roma last season, so the transfer fee will not be too expensive.
This is very important, because after all, Pan Yi only has 10 million euros on hand.
Otherwise, when selecting frontcourt personnel, wouldn't it be a good thing if Pan Yi also lured "Burger King" Hazard to Hamburg?
Burger King gnaws burgers and plays football for Hamburg...
But just because this guy's worth has reached 30 to 40 million at this time, he can only give up.
In addition to Kjaer, Pan Yi also studied some "Maverick" defenders who will be more powerful in the future, but are only young players now.
For example, Real Madrid B team defender Carvajal, Stuttgart rookie Rudiger, and a heavyweight, Maguire who now plays for Sheffield United...
Pan Yi is ready to try to talk to these people.
Especially Rudiger, this guy is an excellent candidate to play as a central defender with Kjaer.
He is a central defender with excellent ball-holding ability. He can plan the offense from the backcourt and can also advance with the ball.
More importantly, he is a defender who is good at both left and right feet, which is quite rare to find in football.
Anyway, the general principle is to spend all 10 million euros.
Then buy as many as you can!
……
At 21:45 on July 1, local time in Ukraine, the 14th European Cup final started at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium.
Pan Ying and Valentina sat in front of the TV early and waited.
In addition to helping Pan Yi buy 4:0 for 1,000 euros, Pan Ying also bought Italy Victory for 100 euros.
Valentina, on the other hand, still supports Spain, who also bets 100 euros.
"Some people really think that they are gods after being fooled 0:0, and they actually spend real money to give money to the gaming company, tsk tsk..." Pan Ying shook her head at Pan Yi.
"At least he supported me and Spain won, hehe." Valentina looked at Pan Yi with starry eyes, "It's just that the score was a little off."
"Hmph, you're such a traitor! You have the nerve to say that you don't support your national team." Pan Ying snorted.
Valentina pouted: "They are not as good as our Milan players, why should I support them?"
Pan Yi waved his hand and said confidently: "Stop arguing and just watch the ball. It won't take long before you regret not buying the ball with me!..."
The game begins.
The two girls started clenching their fists and looking at the screen with wide eyes.
They kept silent about Pan Yi, but their magical predictions in the semi-finals were still fresh in their minds.
So their current mood is quite complicated.
On the one hand, I don’t believe that there will really be such an outrageous score in the European Cup final, but on the other hand, I vaguely wonder if it is really so outrageous...
In the 14th minute, Spain opened the scoring!
Xavi passed the ball in the midfield, and Iniesta made a precise pass to the right side of the penalty area. Fabregas got rid of Chiellini's baseline and passed back to the middle. Silva headed the ball 6 meters in front of the goal and hit the top of the goal.
1:0.
Scoring so early made Pan Ying swallow her saliva, but the way she looked at Pan Yi was a little different.
And Pan Yi is naturally more confident.
This start is still the same as in memory!
The game continued, and Italy suffered another blow in the 20th minute.
Chiellini seemed to have a recurrence of his knee injury and limped to the sidelines. Balzaretti came on as a substitute, which was the fastest substitution in the history of the European Cup final.
Valentina also glanced at Pan Yi.
She knows that Italy's solid defense in this European Cup relies heavily on Juventus's four players who work well together, especially Chiellini. -
His end now indicates that Italy will suffer greater difficulties in the next games.
Sure enough, Spain expanded the score in the 41st minute!
Casillas kicked the ball with a big kick, Fabregas headed back from the left side of the frontcourt, and Alba handed it to Xavi.
Xavi waited for Alba to get in at high speed and then sent a through ball. Alba broke into the left side of the penalty area 12 meters away from the goal and pushed his left foot into the net, 2-0!
During the halftime break, beauty Pan Ying scratched her head: "Isn't this possible...can he really score so many goals?"
Valentina also shook her head: "Although I think Spain's offensive power is super strong, even if the Italian defense is missing Chiellini, it shouldn't be so vulnerable. There shouldn't be any more goals in the second half!"<
/p>
However, after the start of the second half, Italy worsened in the 61st minute.
Motta, who just came on the field, strained his right thigh muscle while fighting and was taken off on a stretcher. The team doctor carried him back to the locker room.
Since Italy has used up three substitutions, it can only play with 10 people.
In the 84th minute, Harvey intercepted the ball from the frontcourt and passed it straight. Torres pushed the ball into the lower right corner from 13 meters in front of the goal, 3-0!
In the 88th minute, Harvey made a direct pass from the center. Torres broke into the left side of the penalty area against offside. Facing Buffon's outside instep, Mata pushed his left foot into the net from the center 10 meters away from the goal, 4-0! p>
In the end, Spain won the championship with the most disparity in the history of the European Cup finals.
Pan Yi stretched and stood up from the sofa, patted the two girls who were staring at the TV screen in a daze, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Hey, I made 500,000 euros so easily..."
"Isn't it easier to make money than being a coach?"
"If I didn't have a deep love for football, I would still be in the Mao class!"
