He started his coaching journey at AC Milan last summer amidst a lot of doubts.
As a result, he helped the team break Inter Milan's monopoly on the league and win the Serie A championship again after 7 years.
In the 2010/2011 season, their points at the end of the season reached 82 points, 6 points higher than the second-ranked Inter Milan!
This also made Milan fans recognize this young coach who has an embarrassing face all day long.
And now, the daughter of the Serie A champion coach actually called me?
Pan Yi looked confused and quickly asked the whole story.
It turned out that Allegri was invited to give a lecture at a UEFA coaching course this year, and Pan Yi was also one of the students at that time.
At that time, Allegri brought his eldest daughter, Valentina, who was only 16 years old, to go with him.
Valentina met Pan Yi during the break. After the two had a brief conversation, Valentina took Pan Yi's phone away.
But the problem is... Pan Yi doesn't know that she is Allegri's daughter, and he didn't leave her contact information, so he is confused now.
"Could it be that this Italian girl likes a charming oriental guy like me?" After hanging up the phone, Pan Yi touched his face and said to himself in the mirror, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been paying attention to me and knowing what I'm looking for.
He applied for a job in the team and forced his father to come see me..."
"But, she is still a child!" Pan Yi shook his head.
He nodded again.
"You'll be 17 soon, right? It seems like you're not too young..."
Pan Yi shook his head: "Now is not the time to think about this! You have to seize this opportunity, show yourself well in front of Allegri, and strive to become this son-in-law...ah, be this assistant coach!"<
/p>
Indeed, women will only affect the speed at which he draws the sword.
Besides, it’s not like I didn’t have a girlfriend in my previous life. Now I have a rare opportunity to go to one of the biggest clubs in the world for an interview. Why do I want to do all this nonsense?
You must put your mind away and prepare well for this interview!
Only by passing the interview can you live up to this opportunity of rebirth and time travel, and be a good match...
……
The next day.
Pushing open the door of the head coach's office in Milanello, Pan Yi unexpectedly found that there were several people inside.
One of the old men has sharp eyes, a shining forehead, and no hair on his head. He is a strong man at first glance.
Pan Yi recognized him. He was the team director of AC Milan, Galliani, known as "Gabald".
And the other guy in a suit is head coach Allegri.
However, Allegri now looks younger than the image in Pan Yi's impression, and his face does not seem so "awkward" at present.
There is another one, Milan legend Tassotti, who is the current first assistant coach of AC Milan.
As a famous defender in his playing days, he took charge of the team's defensive training.
The last one was a middle-aged man in his forties, but Pan Yi didn't recognize him.
"Everyone is here, let's get started."
Director Galliani clapped his hands and then sat on a chair in the corner.
Although he has the highest position among the people in the room, he is here to listen.
The person who really plays a decisive role in the interviewer is head coach Allegri.
Allegri looked at Pan Yi with a puzzled face at this time.
The assistant coach candidate recommended by your daughter is actually an Asian?
And he’s still so young.
This doesn't look like the best coach in the class as your daughter brags about, right?
She can’t be her daughter...
Damn it, is this an interview with a coach or a son-in-law!!!
I have to teach her a lesson when I go back.
This is too childish!
At this time, Tassotti also asked his doubts: "Are you Pan Yi? You are only 25 years old this year? Are you from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes." Although Pan Yi was a little nervous inside, he still tried his best to be neither arrogant nor humble on the surface.
"Such a young man from Longguo actually dares to apply for the coaching position of our AC Milan. You seem to be very confident in yourself?" Tassotti asked again.
Pan Yi smiled and said: "Haha, of course you have to be confident when you are a coach. I hope I can get the opportunity to show myself and learn something in front of a champion coach like you."
Allegri nodded slightly.
Although this young man doesn't seem to be particularly powerful, his words are pretty good.
Then he turned his head to the middle-aged man Pan Yi didn't know.
"Oh, hello, everyone, I'm Angelo. I was the assistant coach of Sampdoria last season." Angelo said, glancing at Pan Yi with a slightly provocative look.
It turns out that he also came to apply for an assistant coach position.
Obviously, today he and Pan Yi are direct competitors, because there is only one vacancy for the assistant coach position of AC Milan.
Compared with a young guy like Pan Yi who obviously has no professional experience, Angelo obviously has a big advantage.
"Oh, Sampdoria was relegated last season, so you want to change jobs." Hearing what Tassotti said, Angelo nodded and did not deny it.
Allegri stood up and pointed to the tactical board on the side of the room:
"I won't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, if you were the head coach of Milan now, how would you arrange the offense under the current lineup framework? If you think the lineup is defective, where should you strengthen it?"<
/p>
Obviously, what Allegri wants today is an assistant coach who can help him with tactical ideas, especially in terms of offense.
This can complement the other assistant coach Tassotti to better assist Allegri in completing the training work.
"I'll say it first, okay?" Pan Yi raised his hand.
Allegri frowned slightly.
"This young man doesn't seem to be very steady. He answers in a hurry without even thinking about it?" he thought to himself.
Angelo was smiling, as if he was sure of victory.
He is a veteran with professional experience and understands that there is no need to rush to express himself at this time.
When the time comes, wait until Pan Yi finishes speaking, and then seize his loopholes to analyze, and you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Although there are disadvantages for those who speak last, that is, if the other party's tactics are perfect or similar to your own, it will be difficult to raise objections.
But obviously, a young coach like Pan Yi is eager to perform and speak, so how can he have any insights that can impress the head coach?
After obtaining Allegri's consent, Pan Yi had already walked to the tactical board and placed the chess pieces representing the player numbers on it:
"I will use a 433 formation, with Ibrahimovic, Pato, and Robinho as the forwards, and..."
"In this formation, we need a deep-lying midfielder with frontal defensive ability and ball-playing ability. Currently, the most suitable one in the team is Van Bommel."
"When the football advances to the midfield area, he will stand on one side of the two central defenders, forming a virtual three central defenders."
"At the same time, the left and right full-back positions are prerequisite, and the role has changed to the left and right wing-backs to participate in the team's offense to a greater extent."
"At this time, the left and right wingers in the frontcourt need to be players with reverse foot attributes. They can form an overall 343 offensive formation to form a powerful blow to the opponent!..."
What Pan Yi is talking about now is actually the knowledge he learned about Klopp’s tactics from the system course.
Klopp's innovation in the use of deep-lying midfielders is the biggest feature of this tactic, and based on this, the requirements for full-backs and wingers have also been further increased.
While Allegri watched Pan Yi move the player positions on the tactical board and listened to his explanation, a strange look immediately appeared in his eyes:
"Hey, this young man has something good!"
Then, I saw Pan Yi pointing at the chess pieces on the tactical board with a tactical pen:
"Before talking about more specific tactics, I want to talk about the weaknesses of the current formation. This is also the position where I think we should focus on recruiting in the summer window."
Allegri couldn't help but lean forward slightly.
This is actually what he wants to hear.
Often a team's success in the new season is largely determined by its operations in the transfer window.
Of course Allegri has his own adjustment plan for the current lineup, and he also wants to see if future assistant coaches can make better suggestions.
But soon, everyone in the office took a breath because they all saw the name Pan Yi pointed to:
