As a forward, Alan Shearer has high expectations for Vardy, a late-blooming young England junior.
From a semi-amateur player to the Bundesliga Golden Boot, this process is really inspiring.
But Alan Shearer doesn't just admire Vardy for this.
He believes that Vardy has all the factors to love football, his aggression, his fighting spirit, and his contribution to the team, making him a better forward.
If the team falls behind, Vardy will desperately try to equalize the score, and will also frantically chase his defender's big-footed clearance.
Vardy is the kind of player who can turn a hopeless ball into an opportunity and score a goal. He is also the kind of player who can inspire all players to reach their potential.
Shearer even believes that the England national team should let Vardy play as the main center, so that they will not be eliminated at the bottom of the group in the 2014 World Cup.
Of course, Shearer can also see Vardy's shortcomings.
Due to his speed and excellent first-touch ability, Vardy thrives in teams that play defensive counterattacks.
But if the team starts to press forward and attack, his threat will be greatly reduced after his space for movement is restricted.
Moreover, a pure shooter like Vardy is extremely dependent on the team's tactics and the assist ability of his teammates. When Chelsea controls the ball today, it will be difficult for Leicester City's teammates to feed Vardy decently.
of cake.
As a result, Vardy naturally cannot use his personal breakthrough and passing abilities to create more opportunities like Neymar and Messi.
"Yes, Chelsea did a very good job defending Vardy today. Pan Yi still knows his former subordinate too well." Carragher also said.
Reinker shook his head and said: "But who would have thought that Pan Yi would dare to put on the field such young central defenders as Ake and Zouma, and also complete the defensive task outstandingly?"
Indeed.
Among Pan Yi's three central defenders today, veteran captain Terry is in the middle to dispatch, and the task of marking people is given to Ake and Zuma on both sides.
These two central defenders have their own characteristics.
Ake plays on the left and is a left-footed player. In fact, in addition to playing as a central defender, he can also play as a left back and defensive midfielder. He is an out-and-out all-rounder in the backcourt.
As we all know, Pan Yi's requirements for defenders are not only to be able to defend, but also to have the ability to initiate offense.
Ake has good foot skills and strong passing ability, which fully meets Pan Yi's needs.
Ake can often complete beautiful ball control movements at his feet in games. He has good flexibility and technical ability, and also has a good through ball and long pass.
Even after pressing forward to the opponent's 30-meter area, Ake also has a certain starting point for the attack.
His sudden dribbling of the ball and then distribution to the wing was also of great help to Pan Yi's team.
On defense, Ake is agile and has strong shooting ability. He has obvious advantages in interception and blocking.
Moreover, his turning speed is fast, so he has the ability to flexibly turn around to protect his back when defending from the front. If opponents want to attack Ake one-on-one, they will often be blocked or destroyed by his successful tackle. p>
Another very good advantage of Ake is that he has good predictability. He has a strong sense of crisis during the game and will often move to a key position in advance to complete clearances and block shots.
Therefore, when Ake was sent to defend Vardy, who lacked space to counterattack, he naturally seemed to be able to do it with ease.
Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his height of 180cm is not particularly tall, and he is not able to defend headers well in his own penalty area.
And this requires another central defender Zuma to make up for it.
Zuma is a heavy-duty truck with a height of 191cm and a weight of 96kg!
He is also a representative figure of the "black and tough" defender. His extremely talented physical condition makes him a natural center defender.
Because of his height of over 1.9 meters, Zouma can help Chelsea through the air on both offense and defense.
At the same time, he is a "rushing" central defender who likes physical confrontation and relies on talent for defense.
Due to his excellent physical fitness, Zuma is never afraid of physical confrontation.
In the process of grabbing the ball, he usually uses physical contact to interfere with the attacking team's kicking rhythm, trying not to leave the opponent any space and time to think. After seeing the right time, he will directly come out from behind to cut off the opponent's kicking rhythm.
Pass the ball or stretch out your long legs to directly destroy the ball.
From a visual point of view, the "up-rushing" defense looks more lethal than the "fight and retreat" retreating defense, and will also make some forwards intimidated.
However, this kind of defensive strategy, which is a bit gambling, is also very easy to be deceived when you meet some cunning "experiencers" in football.
Some smart players don't give you the opportunity for physical contact at all. They often "borrow their strength" and use their cleverness to defuse the defensive players' advances. The final result is basically that the defensive players miss the ball and are counterattacked by the opponent.<
/p>
However, good prediction and excellent blocking position, aren't these the defensive characteristics of Ake?
Therefore, these two young central defenders form an effective complementarity.
Of course, even though Zuma is tall, he is not very bulky.
He is tall, has long legs and has long steps, so he actually has better chasing ability.
Sometimes if he really can't catch up, he will choose to throw his body out and use tackles to increase the defensive coverage area. The effect is equally good.
Another characteristic of Zuma is that he has very good long-passing ability. This is of course also a basic requirement for Pan Yi to choose a central defender, and it is also in line with the development trend of today's football.
Needless to say, the advantages of the central defender Terry are that he is a typical English central defender, with strong defense, tough style, high concentration in the game, and a well-deserved spiritual leader on the field.

With the experienced Terry sitting in the middle to command these two young boys, Chelsea's defense is simply impregnable!
Vardy, whose technical characteristics are relatively simple, naturally seems a little helpless when encountering such a defense that can help each other to achieve a perfect balance, coupled with Pan Yi's special care.
"Chelsea's defense did not give Leicester City any chance, and their offense was even more ferocious." Royin Keane also added, "The game has only lasted less than thirty minutes, and Chelsea has already
Nearly all the shots were taken."
Leicester City put up a posture of attacking Chelsea in the first ten minutes, but were quickly suppressed.
Ten minutes later, Chelsea was almost overwhelming Leicester City.
It can be said that this seemingly "evenly matched" contest soon entered a regular pattern of a strong team attacking on one side and defending on the other side beating a weak team.
"This was achieved when half of the main players were youth training players!" Chelsea star Zola said with joy, "It seems that Boss Abramovich made the right decision to find Pan Yi as the head coach. Pan Yi not only
You can only use the famous stars in the team to play beautiful football, but you can also promote young players and trust young players! He deserves the highest salary in the world!"
"We are only leading by one goal, and you are boasting like this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we lose later?" Gary Neville rolled his eyes at Zola, "A football match is a 90-minute sport..."
"But now..." Carragher was obviously siding with Zola to criticize Neville. He pointed at the big screen, "If Pearson doesn't make adjustments as soon as possible, Leicester City will definitely lose again."
Ball."
On the current court, Chelsea had just completed another long-range shot. Loftus-Cheek's powerful shot was blocked by Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel and took a corner kick.
Now Chelsea will have a good shot almost every two or three minutes. You can imagine how crazy their offense is now.
After about 20 minutes of testing and running-in, and after Willian scored a goal, the energy of Chelsea's young players seemed to be completely released. Each of them kicked with wind at their feet.
All the strength of the whole body is used on Leicester City.
Hazard quickly ran to the corner kick and took the corner kick for Chelsea.
Several of Chelsea's high points basically entered the penalty area. This was also Chelsea's fourth corner kick in the game.
This time, after Hazard sent the ball quickly, no teammate was able to catch it, and Morgan made a header to clear the ball.
Leicester City quickly counterattacked and moved the ball in front to Vardy, but at the critical moment, Zouma made a tactical foul and decisively brought Vardy to the ground.
Although Zouma received a yellow card for this, it also ruined a seemingly good counterattack opportunity for Leicester City.
A burst of applause immediately erupted in the Stamford Bridge stadium, which was dedicated by Chelsea fans to their youth academy player Zouma.
This 19-year-old youngster looked very mature in this defense, and his kicks were fast and hard. He deserves encouragement!
Leicester City took a free kick and continued to attack Chelsea's hinterland, but Chelsea's defensive position was already in place, and the attack was in vain.
"See, Leicester City's every attack cannot pose a threat, but Chelsea is different. If Schmeichel hadn't played well, I'm afraid Leicester City's goal would have been penetrated again." Look.
After this attack and defense, Carragher continued.
Young Schmeichel's name is Kasper Schmeichel, and he is only slightly famous now.
And he was first known because of his father, Peter Schmeichel, also known as Schmeichel.
That's a god-like figure!
Schmeichel has won 5 English Premier League championships, 3 Danish Football League championships, 1 UEFA Champions League championship, 3 English FA Cup championships and many other honors at the club, and in 1999
Help Manchester United win the Triple Crown this season.
At a personal level, he was elected iffhs World Goalkeeper of the Year twice, European Goalkeeper of the Year three times, UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year once, and Danish Footballer of the Year three times.
Of course, his greatest achievement was helping the Danish national team win the 1992 European Cup in Sweden, creating the most surprising "Danish fairy tale" in the history of world football.
At the same time, Schmeichel played a total of 129 times on behalf of the Danish national men's football team, making him the player with the most appearances in the history of the Danish national team. He also maintained his personal record of 470 minutes without conceding a goal for the Danish national team for 23 years. p>
A tiger father has no dog sons.
Although Schmeichel Jr. is not as bright as his father, he has also become an excellent goalkeeper.
He reacts quickly, has a wide range of control, and is decisive in attacking. He performed very well after becoming a Leicester City player in 2011. He won the club's Player of the Year that season and was selected into the Championship Team of the Year.
He was also selected for the Danish national team and has always stood in front of the goal. Later, he also played two World Cups for the Danish national team.
It can be said that the experience of Schmeichel and his son fighting together in the Premier League and playing for the national team is also a good story in world football.
"Chelsea has not been able to score again. On the one hand, Schmeichel played well, and on the other hand, the Chelsea forward's shooting skills are too average." Neville commented, "Look at Bamford, his speed.
, the strength and skills are average, how can he play the center position? I think Pan Yi just wanted to please the Chelsea fans and forced the so-called youth training players to play..."
Leinker shook his head to express his disagreement with Neville's statement:
"Generally speaking, for a new coach who has just joined the team and makes his first appearance in front of the home fans, stability must be the first priority. He must ensure that he wins first."
"But, it is obvious that Pan Yi is very confident in his players and his team's skills and tactics, so he has compiled a lineup that is very different from the winning lineup in the first round."
"This is a very courageous act! If it were you, or everyone here, would you dare to do this?"
Seeing that Neville remained silent, Reinker continued:
"This is actually the self-confidence of a world-class coach! He believes that all his players can execute his tactical intentions and win this game."
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"Judging from the first 30 minutes of the game, Pan Yi also proved that his lineup is indeed very strong. It has already played against Leicester City and scored a goal."<
/p>
"As for Bamford, he is indeed a little behind Lukaku in the first game in terms of strength and speed, but his running ability is stronger and his coordination awareness is better, which is better than Lukaku.
”
"Look at him retreating very deep...wait a minute, let's look at this ball!"
At this time, Chelsea made another quick attack on the field.
Yinwanovic on the right handed the ball to the center, and Bamford retreated to the midfield to get the ball.
After the England striker stopped the ball between the two defensive midfielders Andy King and Hammond, as soon as he adjusted, he saw Hazard moving forward quickly, and Bamford immediately sent a direct pass.<
/p>
Hazard moved forward at the fastest speed, broke out from the middle of Mahrez and De Laet, rushed into the penalty area, caught up with Bamford's pass, and stopped just to avoid it.
The central defender Moore came over to tackle him.
At this time, Hazard looked up and glanced into the penalty area, only to find that Bamford had immediately inserted into the penalty area at high speed after passing the ball and had already reached the front edge of the small penalty area.
Hazard immediately made a choice, which was to pass the ball across the center.
Bamford also understood it and immediately rushed forward. Before Leicester City's other central defender Morgan came over to defend, he fired a left-footed volley!
The ball sailed past Schmeichel and flew directly into the Leicester City goal.
Schmeichel's reaction was not unpleasant, but he could only touch the ball with his fingertips, but he could not change the trajectory of the ball.
"goalllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!"
"In the 32nd minute, Chelsea scored again!"
"Patrick Bamford, a local player from England who joined Chelsea's youth academy three years ago!"
"This is his first appearance in the Premier League for Chelsea and he scored a goal!"
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was boiling with excitement again.
Bamford rushed out of the stadium excitedly, running wildly to celebrate his first Premier League goal.
And Hazard, who provided him with an assist, soon became the first player Bamford pounced on.
Soon, Ivanovic, Willian, Kante and other Chelsea players also caught up with them, and everyone hugged each other happily.
"Two to zero!"
"The game has only been played for more than 30 minutes, and Chelsea has already scored two goals in a row."
"Chelsea's young players performed really well today. They also used this performance to repay coach Pan Yi's trust in them!"
"After the players celebrated, Bamford ran to the coaching bench and hugged head coach Pan Yi."
"It's just that Pan Yi still looks very calm... He doesn't even have much smile on his face, let alone how excited he is."
"Is all this expected by him? Perhaps he feels that the two-goal lead is still too little?"
"It's terrible. Is this the pursuit and magnanimity of a world-class coach?"
------------------
The Sky Sports studio was noisy at this time.
Zola and Carragher even high-fived in celebration!
And Gary Neville naturally had a solemn look on his face and said nothing.
This Pan Yi, how can he be so slapped in the face?
If you say Chelsea can't score, Chelsea will score immediately;
He said that the Bamford he sent was not good, but Bamford also scored immediately...
If there was a celebrity from Leicester City in the studio now, maybe he would beg Neville to stop saying a few words!
But Chelsea's performance is obviously not over yet.
Just three minutes after Bamford scored, Chelsea made a comeback.
After Kanter stole the ball in midfield, he immediately handed the ball to the young player Chike on the side.
This midfielder, who is 191cm tall, is actually a very comprehensive guy.
His dribbling, shooting, passing, heading, and defensive abilities are all things Pan Yi values very much.
With him, Kanter can defend with more peace of mind, leaving the task of rushing forward and shooting in the frontcourt to link up the organization.
If necessary, you can even put Loftus-Cheek on top to add a high point as a surprise move - this is a bit like how Manchester United or the Belgian national team use Fellaini.
Of course, as a midfielder, Chik also handles his job very well.
He has a good sense of position. Before catching the ball, he must clearly know where his opponent is, where his teammates are, and where the gaps are.
This time, Chike saw Kanter pass the ball to him, and before catching the ball, he saw the position of Hammond, the opponent's midfielder, and the gap exposed behind him after he grabbed the ball.
So Chick cleverly took advantage of this, stopping and passing when receiving the ball, directly throwing away Hammond, and dribbling the ball into the gap.
This ability to create gaps in the midfield in a very concise way is exactly what an excellent midfielder must possess!
Then, Chick showed his vision on the court again.
While Cheek was dribbling the ball forward, striker Bamford had already dropped back to catch the ball, taking the opponent's defensive player away from the defensive position.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, player Yin Vanovic on the wing has quickly moved on to take advantage of this space.
Chik also saw this and passed the ball to this area without any delay.
Then Ivanovic got the ball, and Chik also ran into the penalty area!
At this time, it showed that he has a characteristic that other Chelsea midfielders do not have, that is, he can change directions in front of the goal to grab points.
He likes to hide behind the center and look for gaps between defenders, often at the front post.
Moreover, his movement does not move directly to that area, but often involves a change of direction or retreat, which makes it more difficult for defenders and goalkeepers to guard against.
Such large-scale air-cutting movements can be seen in many top forwards, such as Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Akun, etc., and as a midfielder, Chik has such awareness and ability is really valuable.<
/p>
It is precisely because of this that Leicester City's defender did not catch up with Chick's forward thrust immediately.
Yinwanovic also quickly passed the ball over, and Chike just stepped up and kicked it!
The ball was too close and too fast, and there was nothing Schmeichel could do.
"This goal is scored again!! Three to zero!!!"
"Chelsea was really on the offensive tonight!"
"We saw that this time it was midfielder Loftus-Cheek who dribbled the ball forward and made a beautiful coordination with wing-back Ivanovic who also advanced, and then shot."
"Considering that Chelsea practiced a lot of coordination with crosses from the wing before the game, it seems that it is not a cross-over fight as everyone expected, but more changes!"
"Separate the sides in the middle, then cross, and combine the sides with the center! Such a cross from the side is really hard to guard against! Especially the young player Chik's insertion and cutting movement, it simply showed us the performance of a top forward
Level! But he is a midfielder!"
"How did Pan Yi discover such a piece of jade! After all, he is only 18 years old this year!"
"Compared with several Chelsea youth training players who also played today, it can be said that Loftus-Cheek is a real talent. He joined Chelsea at the age of 8 and was the main force in helping the team win the Youth Champions League!"
"Seeing such a prince attacking the team, Chelsea fans must be happy!"
"Of course, all this is thanks to Pan Yi's bold promotion and trust, otherwise who would dare to let such a young player play in such an important game!"
Just as the commentator said, the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge are all mesmerized by the scene, and everyone forgets everything and is celebrating with joy.
Pan Yi made his home debut, a young player from youth training, the team took a three-goal lead, and the prince scored...
There really is no better night than this!
After various shouts of "Cheek" and "Cheek", the Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly became quiet for a while.
Then, louder and more uniform shouts sounded over the stadium:
