Chapter 354 Kung Fu and football will definitely lead to something

 On January 17, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Swansea faced Chelsea at home.

Swansea, a dark horse that performed amazingly at the beginning of this season, has slowly begun to show signs of decline, and has begun to lose frequently like a normal mid-to-lower team.

However, the current ranking of 9th is enough to satisfy Swansea fans.

Therefore, in this "West-West" battle, they once again lost to Chelsea by a big score, and the fans had no complaints.

Really limited strength!

The four-goal defeat in the first round was equivalent to giving them a vaccination.

In this game, Lukaku scored twice, while Chik, Ramirez and Marcos Alonso also scored one more goal.

The final score was 0:5, and Swansea was defeated at home.

Such a result could no longer make any waves after the game.

If a team can beat Manchester United 8:0, what kind of results will happen to them? Is it normal?

Defeating a mid-table team in the Premier League with five goals is indeed a routine operation.

However, a report by "The Sun" attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, it's not about the game itself.

Let’s be honest, who would go to The Sun to watch any game?

Don’t you just want to read some gossip news?

And this gossip about Pan Yi is really eye-catching.

What I’m talking about is that recently, Pan Yi often goes shopping with a girl, and they also buy new clothes, new shoes, daily necessities, etc.

It's just that this girl is not the star model that everyone imagined, with long legs and a bulging front, but a——

Fat woman!

Soon, many sports news and entertainment news reported on Pan Yi.

Countless fans on the Internet are curious, why is there always a fat woman next to Pan Yi?

Then there were further reports that this fat woman lived with Pan Yi!

This news immediately made many female fans beat their chests and feet.

"Oh my god! My world has collapsed! Pan Yi has a girlfriend!"

"No wonder Pan Yijie looks down on me, it turns out he likes fat people!"

"I mean, I sent him my dress, but he didn't reply to me at all. I thought he liked men for a while!"

"Is it too late for me to start eating like crazy and gain weight? I wonder what type of tank he likes?"

"Midsummer is coming, I will start to gain weight from now on, and I will not stop until I am fat. I will eat meat like crazy, eat late-night snacks, and bang skewers, I will attend banquets frequently, and buy snacks in anger... I will dedicate my life and body to food.

Keep doing it every day until you gain weight."

However, later, a website released street photos of Valentina and Pan Yi, and detailed comparisons showed that this fat girl is the daughter of Allegri, the current head coach of Juventus!

And also found out how Valentina went from being a slim girl to being fat step by step.

After digging through the previous news about the connection between the two, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:

Pan Yi never abandons Valentina, who has become fat. He is a truly modern good man!

You know, Pan Yi is now a popular player in world football, a true representative of rich and handsome men, and the dream lover of female fans all over the world.

It is said that the daughters of some super rich people, the daughters of important politicians, and even members of the royal family have thrown hydrangeas at Pan Yi.

In front of these people, the daughter of the head coach of a Serie A team is really not a very impressive person.

Not to mention that they are definitely much prettier than this fat girl!

But Pan Yi has never had any scandals. Instead, he has never forgotten his original intention and patiently took care of Valentina, who has become a tank...

What kind of loyalty is this!

Under such repeated reports, Pan Yi's popularity around the world has skyrocketed again, and he has even become famous.

Who doesn’t want to see beautiful fairy tales in the real world?

------------------

"I don't want to."

Valentina sat in a special small theater in Pan Yi's villa, looked at the big screen, and rejected Pan Yi's proposal.

Pan Yi wanted her to work in York City to help take care of some of the club's daily affairs and also manage finances.

Although it is indeed reassuring to have Jason McGill continue to serve as York City chairman, it is also necessary to gradually install some of his own people in the club.

Not just coaches, players, etc., management also needs it!

After all, Valentina is one of our own.

She is also a student at the School of Economics and Management at the University of Turin in Italy, and the University of Turin's economics and business administration majors have always enjoyed a high reputation in continental Europe.

Professional counterpart!

And...

It can also temporarily calm down the recent "scandal" between them.

Pan Yi doesn't like having paparazzi following him every day, as it affects the team's preparations too much.

But unexpectedly, Valentina refused directly.

The reasons are very simple, there are two.

First, although I am losing weight now and have achieved certain results, I am still too fat and dare not go out to meet people;

Second, I had to leave Pan Yi when I went to York City, and I was reluctant to leave.

Then she continued to stare at the big screen, pinching the fat on her belly, and watching the latest movie "Interstellar" being played on it sadly.

Why is it depressing to watch science fiction movies?

She is not doing it for the father-daughter relationship in the play.

It’s because the main character in the film, Dr. Brand played by Anne Hathaway, is so good-looking!

She was so thin that she lit up all the fat people!

Well, the main reason is because Valentina was also called the "low-profile Anne Hathaway" in the past.

Although it is a low-profile one, being able to be associated with Anne Hathaway shows that she is still worthy of the "beauty" train.

But what now?

Valentina is already Jia Ling plus.

Oh, of course Valentina knows Jia Ling because she has Pan Yi.

In short, when she looks at Anne Hathaway in the movie, she really wants to find a piece of fat to kill herself.

"Let me tell you, I like girls who are ambitious." Pan Yi sighed and said to Valentina earnestly, "Girls who focus on their careers are the cutest."

"Really?" Valentina finally looked away from the screen, "If I go to work in York City, you won't care about my figure?"

"Uh... how should I put it..." Pan Yi considered his words, "To be precise, I like girls who are beautiful, have good figures, and are ambitious."

"Tch." Valentina started watching the movie again.

"Look at her, Dr. Brand." Pan Yi pointed at Anne Hathaway on the screen, "She is good-looking, has a good figure, and is a doctor. She thinks about saving the earth all day long. Who doesn't?

Like?"

"Do you like this?" Valentina paused the movie, pursed her lips, and looked like she wanted to ask but couldn't ask, but finally asked, "You look like her, and you also love to work.

Do you like it?"

Pan Yi replied directly: "I like it."

Valentina's face suddenly turned red.

Doesn’t this make it clear that he will like this one of his!

After all, Anne Hathaway is a poor match!

She is not yet 20 years old and has never had a boyfriend. All she can think about is Pan Yi.

But Pan Yi has always been polite to her and has no ambiguous words or actions.

Today's simple "like" was enough to fill her imagination.

After a few seconds, Valentina took two deep breaths and suddenly shouted: "Okay, I will go to York City! I will do a good job, I swear!"

Then, she mustered up the courage to give Pan Yi a firm hug and a kiss on his face.

However, she is now stronger than Pan Yi and almost strangled him...

After Pan Yi finally got rid of Valentina's chokehold, he couldn't help but re-examine his proposal to let her work in York City.

It feels too humiliating.

Would it be more suitable for her to let her practice the Vajra Kick and Iron Head Kung Fu, and then develop the Italian women's football career?

Combining Kung Fu with football, it’s definitely something to do!

Uh...it seems like practicing Tieshan would be good too?

But then you might have to consider practicing basketball. If you add singing, dancing, and rap, you will definitely become popular!

------------------

On January 24, Chelsea will face an away game in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Their opponent is Bournemouth from the English Championship.

As far as the team itself is concerned, it is actually lackluster, and there are no stars worth mentioning throughout the team.

But their head coach is a man with a relatively legendary experience. Although he is not very famous, he can be said to be one of the top coaches in the world - Eddie Howe.

He stayed at Bournemouth for a full ten years. As a leader among the new generation of local coaches in the UK, in the past few years, whenever a giant club in the Premier League wants to change coaches, Eddie Howe's name will always be mentioned.

Mention.

Later, he finally left Bournemouth and joined a quasi-rich club, Newcastle United after the Saudi consortium took over.

In fact, he was the first signing after the Saudi consortium took over Newcastle.

There, he did not wave a check to buy people everywhere, but used a very pragmatic lineup to play very good results, and was in the ranks of competing for a Champions League spot with the big6.

So, why is he favored by so many teams?

Because of what he did at Bournemouth.

Let’s put it this way, if in the Football Manager FM game, you are given a fourth-tier English second-division underdog that has been in financial crisis for many years, it is deeply immersed in the quagmire of relegation, and is still 10 points away from landing, plus

A two-year transfer ban prevents you from buying anyone.

Given ten years, where can you take this team?

Can you successfully take it to the top flight and establish itself in the Premier League?

If you are not an experienced player, you may not be able to do this without some strategies and divine formations.

However, in reality, some people actually do it.

The person who realized this amazing journey of ten years was none other than Eddie Howe, a representative of the new generation of British local coaches, and the Cherries Bournemouth team he led.

Eddie Howe, who was born in 1977 and plays as a defender, can be said to have been unremarkable throughout his professional playing career.

He basically spent his career at Bournemouth. Although he was selected for the England U21 team and played in the Toulon Cup, he has never played in the top league.

However, he is deeply loved by Bournemouth fans.

When he was brought to the English Championship team Portsmouth by Old Redknapp but was retired for the season due to a serious injury, Bournemouth fans actually bought him through crowdfunding when the club's financial situation was in dire straits.

Come back!

This act of raising pounds sterling also created the new term "Eddie Shares".

This also made Eddie Howe full of feelings for Bournemouth.

At this time, who could have thought that this own child would one day become the hero of the entire city of Bournemouth!

The Cherries, founded in 1899, is located in Bournemouth, a coastal resort town in Dorset, southern England, with a local population of less than 200,000.

Dean Court Stadium, Bournemouth's home ground, is also the smallest stadium in the entire history of the Premier League era. It can only accommodate a little over 10,000 people, which is about the same as York City's home ground.

After Eddie Howe retired and became the head coach of Bournemouth, in the 2008-09 season, Bournemouth was relegated to the fourth tier of English League Two due to financial disputes and the change of ownership of the club.

He was fined 17 points for a series of problems and was barely allowed to stay in the league.

Until the 31-year-old Eddie Howe became the fire coach, they were still ranked bottom and 10 points behind the relegation zone.

In this darkest moment in the history of Bournemouth, I believe that even the most loyal Cherries fans would not have thought that this was the moment when a city hero was born and led the home club to embark on an amazing journey and reach the peak of history.

.

Eddie Howe first led the Cherries, which was almost in dire straits, to a triumphant escape in the 2008-09 season and successfully avoided relegation.

Then in the 2009-10 season, the transfer ban was extended and unable to buy anyone, he led the team to successfully upgrade two rounds in advance and return to League One!

After leaving briefly and returning to Bournemouth in the 12-13 season, Eddie Howe reversed the team's decline at the beginning of the season and eventually led the team to promotion to the English Championship.

After establishing a foothold in the English Championship in the 13-14 season, Eddie Howe led Bournemouth to create another miracle in the 14-15 season, and finally won the English Championship that season, thus gaining promotion for the first time in history after the club was founded 116 years ago.

Enter the top league of English football!

Of course, in the current timeline, Bournemouth has not yet been promoted, but it is almost there.

In the current 2014-2015 season, 27 rounds of the English Championship have been played, and the one currently ranked first in the standings is Bournemouth!

In this way, it sounds like a fairy tale that can only happen in football manager games has been successfully realized in reality. The Cherries, which were once close to bankruptcy, have been promoted to three levels in a row in 6 years! They have broken into the Premier League!

And when everyone thought this was just a flash in the pan story, in the blink of an eye, Eddie Howe and Bournemouth led by him had been competing in the Premier League for five consecutive seasons...

They actually really established a foothold in the Premier League.

Of course, no one can deny that the main contributor behind all this success is Eddie Howe.

The formation he often uses at Bournemouth is 4-4-2, a formation that is almost extinct in modern football.

Fans who don’t watch much of the Cherries’ games may think that Eddie Howe, like his old-school British predecessors, likes to play in a fixed formation, arranging long passes and lobs, high-flying strikes, and 45-degree bombing

, as a weak side, it just shrinks its defense against a strong team and focuses on counterattacks.

But in fact, as a mid-to-lower team, Bournemouth, under the leadership of Eddie Howe, has shown flexibility in formation and specificity in facing different teams' playing styles.

Characteristic.

Even in the face of strong opponents, they dare to take the ball and press high. They also have the remarkable characteristics of balancing the integrity of the team organization with the flexibility of tactical changes.

So if you look closely at Bournemouth's games, you will actually see different formations, 442, 4141, 433, 4231, 343, 541 and so on.

In fact, Eddie Howe is the kind of coach who pays great attention to details on the training field.

Some coaches will feel that some basic techniques and tactics, including some basic skills, should be taught by youth team coaches and trained in the echelon.

But Eddie Howe is the kind of hands-on, hands-on head coach who likes one-on-one guidance, instills his own tactical concepts into the players, corrects some minor mistakes of the players, and follows the top-down requirements of his own system.

own players.

——From this point of view, he is even stronger than Pan Yi.

After all, Pan Yi is not a professional player. If he were to leave the field in person, it would be too difficult for Pan Yi to coach.

Eddie Howe always seems calm and gentle when speaking at press conferences or interviews, but when he shouts on the training field, he is full of passion and enthusiasm.

Complementing Eddie Howe's coaching philosophy is Bournemouth's player recruitment strategy.

This is actually similar to Guardiola's buying strategy, which is to buy people very clearly according to the team's head coach's tactical system.

At the same time, as a small club with a limited budget, Bournemouth often buys players who are hungry and want to take a further step in their careers.

Looking back, this is also related to Eddie Howe's own experience as a player. He debuted in a low-level league, worked hard, and expected to become a top player, although in the end it did not happen due to injuries.

In the past few years, for example, Eddie Howe bought Cullen Wilson and Lewis Cook from the lower leagues. Under the training of Eddie Howe, they have improved in their respective careers.

They have made great progress, and have been selected for the national team and even become a regular player in the national team.

Interestingly, Bournemouth under Eddie Howe has the reputation of "the nemesis of the Blues".

After they were promoted to the Premier League as a newly promoted team, their first five encounters with Chelsea resulted in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, giving them an absolute advantage.

Considering that Chelsea at that period basically used a three-back system, especially during the Conte era, they used a 3-4-3 formation that was very close to Pan Yi's Chelsea. Pan Yi's Bournemouth team

Still a little scared.

Therefore, Pan Yi conducted a detailed study of Eddie Howe's tactical system.

Often when faced with such an opponent, it is easier for the team to have paralyzed thoughts and thus capsize.

Although Pan Yi doesn't value the FA Cup that much, he doesn't give up casually.

Take every game seriously so that even if you lose in the end, you can have a clear conscience!
