After a two-week shutdown, the Premier League resumed with Chelsea challenging Everton away.
Now Chelsea is more and more affected by the international match day, because almost all the players are international!
In the current team, only the third goalkeeper Amelia and the two young forwards Abraham and Mbappe, as well as the veteran Terry are not members of the national team.
Although Abraham and Mbappe are not in the national team, they are also in the national youth team, and they also have to play games.
Therefore, if Chelsea has to train during the international break, only Terry will practice shooting against Amelia.
Therefore, in this round of the league, Pan Yi mainly arranged for those players who played two full games of the national team to rest, and let those who only played one and a half games, or those who did not play as substitutes for the national team, to challenge Everton.<
/p>
However, the continuous running around has affected the team to some extent, and many players have shown signs of fatigue.
The team was greatly affected by this and performed poorly, making Chelsea's offense unable to threaten.
Pan Yi quickly made the first substitution adjustment of the game, replacing Harry Kane with teenager Mbappe.
Later, Cancelo was replaced by Marcos Alonso, hoping to be able to play faster on the court.
But in the 72nd minute of the game, Everton's head coach Robert Martinez used up three substitutions in just six or seven minutes.
He even took off the team's two forwards and replaced them with a defensive midfielder, Barry, and then replaced them with defender Coleman.
It's obvious that he wants to keep the tie.
Although it was a home game, Martinez obviously felt that just one point was enough when facing Chelsea.
Judging from the current situation, Chelsea is still in control of the situation, but the players' poor condition makes it difficult to break Everton's goal.
Therefore, Martinez does not expect to steal three points from Chelsea.
Everyone else loses against Chelsea, but he draws, isn't this a sure-win deal?
"The game is about to enter eighty minutes."
"The current score is still zero to zero. Chelsea seems to be in terrible shape in this game."
"Pan Yi's team completely controlled the game, but was unable to organize an effective offensive. We can only say that as a major player in the international football team, Chelsea has indeed been greatly affected and has also encountered challenges."
"Based on the current trend of the game, it looks like this game is really going to be a draw."
Pan Yi always stood on the sidelines, looking at the excited expression of Everton coach Martinez in front of the home team's coaching bench not far away, but remained unmoved.
Can you draw a tie if you want?
The game only ends in ten minutes, and I still have an ace in my hand that I haven’t played yet.
Just replace Hazard later and use his ball control and breakthrough to carve out a world in the midfield...
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
While Pan Yi was still thinking about how to open up the situation after replacing Hazard on the field, Chelsea forward Lukaku fell to the ground after a physical collision with the opponent's center back Jagierka. p>
"Hanhan won't be hurt, right?" Pan Yi's heart tightened.
Now Lukaku's fulcrum role in Chelsea's formation is still very important, and his speed and impact will be needed later to cooperate with Hazard's passing.
Teammates and team doctor Wolfat immediately ran over to help him.
This scene made the Everton fans in the stands and Martinez on the sidelines even more excited.
Harry Kane has gone, and now Lukaku is no longer good. How can Chelsea score Everton's goal without their two top strikers?
Martinez's heart blossomed with joy.
In just ten minutes, we can successfully score a point against Chelsea!
At this time, Pan Yi had already received diagnostic information from team doctor Wolfat on the sidelines.
Lukaku is not seriously injured, but his calf has a slight contusion caused by the collision. For safety reasons, it is recommended not to let him continue to play.
Pan Yi nodded and immediately turned to look at the bench behind him.
There, there is another center, Abraham.
Yes, Pan Yi decided to temporarily change his strategy and instead of playing Hazard, he directly replaced Abraham.
Mainly because the current Mbappe on the court, including Hazard who was originally going to be replaced, cannot play as a fulcrum center.
Now that Everton is fully retreating, a fulcrum in the penalty area where the ball can be played, headed, or shot is particularly important.
So the only choice is to go to Abraham.
He has height, weight, and speed. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a small version of Lukaku.
Moreover, his aggressiveness on the court, his work commitment, and his teamwork attitude are also very good, so Pan Yi is going to let him play as a pressing forward, putting more pressure on Everton's defense, and he can also play in the middle.
Support teammates to make the fulcrum.
At this time, after Abraham heard the shouts of the head coach Pan Yi, he immediately jumped up from the bench, took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles stretched by the jersey, and walked towards the head coach.
.
"I'm ready, boss." Abraham said seriously.
Pan Yi knows that he has been waiting for the opportunity. He has performed well in several appearances this season, but he has not scored a goal so far.
"Can I trust you?" Pan Yi stared at him without blinking and asked.
Abraham nodded solemnly: "Yes, boss, I will do my best for you."
Of course he was grateful to Pan Yi.
At the age of only 17, he was promoted to the first team by Pan Yi and began to truly play for the Champions League champions.
My training level has improved, my ability has also improved, including the contract has been officially converted into a professional contract, and now I can get a weekly salary of 10,000... It is not an exaggeration to say that I am grateful.
Pan Yi nodded, put one hand on Abraham's shoulder, and pointed around with the other: "Look, everyone here, Everton's players, fans and head coach, all want to draw us. You know why.
?"
"Because they know it is impossible to win against us." Abraham replied confidently.
"Yes, for them, getting one point is a victory." Pan Yi said with a smile, "But for us, one point is unacceptable. Maybe if it is a draw, this game will still be over.
The headlines will be tomorrow’s meeting.”
Abraham nodded, he had no doubt about it.
Chelsea has maintained an unbeatable record since the start of this season, including defeating Arsenal to win the Community Shield, defeating Sevilla to win the European Super Cup, and easily defeating Manchester City to win the Battle of Tianwangshan.
For Everton, who only finished 11th last season and has no major signings this season, if they can really tie with Chelsea, it can definitely be regarded as an upset.
"But have you ever thought about it?" Pan Yi changed the topic, "If you perform well after coming on the field, or even score a goal to help the team win, then it won't be Evers who will make the headlines tomorrow morning.
Dayton, but you, Tammy Abraham."
Pan Yi's words made Abraham's eyes widen and he suddenly became a little excited.
Since he was favored by Pan Yi and promoted to the first team, his reputation has suddenly become much bigger.
Although he has not been able to get a call from the national team due to his limited playing time in the first team, he has jumped to join the 21st national team.
Because everyone knows that Pan Yi never looks away from people.
As long as it is a player that Pan Yi likes, every coach will want to try it, and the coaches of the England national teams at all levels are certainly no exception.
The current head coach of the England 21 national team is the former international "Southgate" Southgate. He has always admired Pan Yi, so he also values Abraham very much and has played him in recent games.<
/p>
But Abraham also knows that if he wants to go further and get a call from the England national team, he must perform better in the first team.
However, it is not easy to have stable playing time at Chelsea?
The competition here is very fierce.
Abraham not only has to face the pressure of "senior" Harry Kane and Premier League golden boot Lukaku, but also competes with young player Mbappe.
And obviously, even Mbappe, who is younger than him, has more playing opportunities than him.
On the one hand, this is because Mbappe is recognized as a more talented player, and on the other hand, it is also related to the characteristics of the players.
Because Abraham is considered a weakened version of Lukaku, basically as long as Lukaku is still on the court, he is unlikely to play;
But Mbappe is a super-fast explosive player, which can be said to be faster than all current Chelsea players.
This has special tactical significance for Pan Yi. Playing Mbappe on many occasions can have immediate results.
Therefore, Abraham needs to seize every opportunity, because every opportunity is rare for him.
And today is an opportunity.
As head coach Pan Yi said, as long as he catches it tonight, he might become famous.
More importantly, his status in Pan Yi's mind will also be improved accordingly, and of course his ranking may be advanced.
As the fourth official raised the substitution card, Abraham came on instead of Lukaku!
After playing, Abraham was very active.
He gave full play to his characteristics in the frontcourt and actively fought, which also drove Chelsea's frontcourt offense and suppressed Everton in the half.
All Everton fans felt Chelsea's last-minute attack and determination to score, and they felt uneasy in their hearts.
Everton's head coach Martinez even kept shouting anxiously on the sidelines, sometimes using foul language.
Obviously in order to draw with Chelsea, he no longer cares about his own image.
Although Pan Yi still looked very calm, folding his hands on his chest and watching the game silently, he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, Lukaku's fate disrupted his plans.
Can Abraham do it? Can he play the role of Lukaku? Pan Yi is not sure.
Pan Yi is not sure what effect Pan Yi said to Abraham before he came on the field.
After all, a young player, after hearing that this game will make him famous, may become nervous due to excitement, resulting in abnormal performance.
And if it is an outstanding young player, then he will be greatly encouraged and it is possible for him to perform at a super level.
Of course Pan Yi hopes it is the latter, but he really has no idea which direction the current Abraham's psychology will take.
All we can do is give it a try and see our luck!
As time passed by, Chelsea still suppressed Everton, planning wave after wave of attacks.
"We saw that Chelsea continued to maintain offensive pressure, and Everton even retreated across the board. The home team has obviously now made up its mind and is determined to draw Chelsea at home."
"Not only the players and coaching staff, but listen to the voices of the fans in the stands...'deene!' 'deene!' This is imitating the shouts of the NBA. They are also encouraging the players to work hard on defense."
"For Everton, it really takes hard work to draw with Chelsea at home. This is also a difficult challenge for them. Now it seems that they are about to succeed."
"However, the closer the game gets to the end, the more frantically Chelsea players attack with all their might."
"We can all see that they all want to get all three points, and every one of them is trying their best to compete. It's just that many Chelsea players today have been affected by the national team competition, and their condition is indeed a bit worse. Even The accuracy of the shot is even worse."
"But there is no way, this is professional football. As a wealthy team with many national team players, it has to cope with such a situation..."
On the court, Chelsea was forced to pass back after another attack failed to work.
It can be clearly seen that captain Terry is calling his teammates, asking everyone not to worry, to stabilize their position, to control the ball before passing it, instead of blindly moving forward and losing the ball.
"Chelsea stepped back in the backcourt and stabilized the rhythm, but there was not much game time left."
"The fourth official on the sidelines raised the stoppage time card. There was only two minutes of stoppage time in the second half of this game."
"In the last two minutes, let's see if Chelsea can launch an attack."
"Okay, pass it back to the right and pass it to Yinwanovic."
"Yinvanovic dribbled the ball across the center line and entered the frontcourt."
"This should be the last attack of the game, and it should also be Chelsea's last chance."
"Look at how Yinvanovich handled it this time."
"He passed the ball to the center, handed it to Matic, and continued to pass it forward to Chik."
"Cheek was assigned to the right again. After several passes and cuts, a space has been opened on the right, and Ivanovic also inserted along the edge."
"Yinvanovic has a chance! He went to the bottom line and crossed into the penalty area..."
"The ball is scored!
”
"gallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
”
"In the 91st minute of the second half, in the 91st minute, at the last moment of the game, Chelsea finally broke through Everton's goal! This is a golden goal!"
"Let's see, the hero of the goal is Tammy Abraham! He cut in at high speed in the middle and still grabbed the point even though he was closely guarded by Everton defender Jagelka!"
"I believe that if you are not a Chelsea fan, many people may not be familiar with him."
"This 17-year-old forward is a product of Chelsea's own youth training. He joined Chelsea's youth training camp when he was less than 7 years old. This season he was spotted by Pan Yi and was directly promoted from the 18-year-old youth team to the first team." "He has also had many opportunities to play this season and performed well. He feels that his speed and body are very good. He also scored assists, but he did not score. Today, at the critical moment, he calmly seized the opportunity and finally scored
The first goal of his career!"
"One to zero, Abraham scored the winning goal."
On the sidelines, Pan Yi jumped up from the ground and was extremely excited the moment Abraham pushed and scored.
This game is indeed a thrilling win.
Judging from the game process, it is undisputed that Chelsea won. Whether it is ball possession rate, threat opportunities, or overall performance, the Blues should have scored three points.
But sometimes football games are like this. Just because you perform better doesn't mean you can win.
What's more, Chelsea's players participated in more national team games, and their physical fitness was very serious. This resulted in the players generally not being excited enough and they were never able to score Everton's goal.
Well now, I scored at the last minute and got all three points.
Just when Pan Yi was excited, Abraham had already rushed along the court, rushed all the way to the visiting team's coaching bench, hugged Pan Yi hard, and directly picked up the coach by the waist.
This has become a "repertoire" within the Chelsea team. When young players score goals, they like to hug Pan Yi.
Of course, of all the people present, probably no one is more excited than Abraham.
This is the first goal of his career. It is a goal that he will recall for many years to come. It is also an important goal that enhances his confidence in his career!
As Pan Yi said, this is a golden goal, which may also make Abraham famous, because tomorrow's major sports newspapers will write words such as "Abraham scored the winning goal"
.
All the surrounding players also swarmed up and surrounded Pan Yi and Abraham. It wasn't until the referee called on them to go back to the game that they realized that there was still one minute left in the game.
"Boss, how do you know he's good?" Arteta asked Pan Yi with a smile as he watched Abraham return to the court.
"I said I just wanted to try my luck with him, do you believe it?" Pan Yi smiled.
"I don't believe it." Arteta shook his head, "Every time you adjust tactics and make substitutions, you have a very clear purpose, and this time is definitely no exception."
"Okay." Pan Yi smiled but said nothing.
There is no way, if you are always successful, then all your actions in the future will definitely be considered meaningful.
Pan Yi didn't bother to explain. Anyway, he was the one who promoted Abraham to the first team, and he seized the opportunity very confidently, saying that it was Pan Yi's "strategy" that led to the goal, which was not a big problem...
"We finally got through this. It's up to you to adjust later, otherwise your physical strength may be too much." Pan Yi told Pintus and Wolfat.
The physical fitness coach and the chief team doctor both nodded heavily.
In fact, if it were just a double match a week, Chelsea's players would be able to cope with it, and they wouldn't have to play as hard as they did against Everton.
What's more important is because of the players' performances in the national team.
When playing in various national teams, after all, many things are not as good as club standards - especially club standards like Chelsea, coupled with the long distances and long journeys, players spend more energy on the journey.
Of course, Everton played really well in this home game and defended very well.
But Pan Yi is right. There are national team competitions in September and October, which consume a lot of players. Although there is no impact on the national team in November and December, European competitions are very intensive, which has a great impact on the players' physical fitness.
It will also be a big challenge.
If we talk about a closer test, five days later, on September 17, Chelsea will start their journey to the Champions League group stage this season, facing the Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg at home in the first round.
Then two days later, on September 19, we will face Manchester United again in the Premier League.
After that, there will be League Cup, Premier League, and Champions League games in succession, with an interval of about three or four days between each other. It can be said that the physical requirements are still very high.
Pan Yi can do the rotation himself, but for the overall physical recovery, Pan Yi can only rely on his assistants.
But fortunately, Pintus and Wolfat are both ranked first and second in their respective fields, so they naturally have ways to handle all this...
When everyone turned around to watch the game again, the referee had already blown the final whistle.
In the last minute, Everton couldn't make any splash. They didn't even have a forward on the field. They still thought they could score an equalizer within one minute? What about Taozi?
Therefore, after Abraham scored the winning goal, the end of the game was actually judged.
We celebrated for half a minute, then kicked off and kicked off for another 30 seconds. The last minute was just a formality.
As a result, Chelsea defeated Everton 1:0 in the away game and won five consecutive victories in the Premier League!
They also undisputedly occupy the top spot after five rounds.
Ranked second is Manchester City with 4 wins and 1 loss. Except for losing to Chelsea, they have won all other games.
Ranking third is a bit surprising.
It turned out to be the Leicester City team with 3 wins, 2 draws and 11 points!
Behind Leicester City are Manchester United and Arsenal, who both have 10 points. They also have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Manchester United lost to Swansea 1:2 in the fourth round, while Arsenal lost to West Ham United in the first round.
Next, these top-ranked teams will all face the Champions League games, while Leicester City can rest comfortably and concentrate on dealing with the Premier League games.
Although they can't beat Manchester City in terms of points, they are the other team besides Chelsea that can remain undefeated so far!
Coupled with the fact that there is no European War mission, they do have a chance to make some waves in the bg6 group.
This also forces people to re-examine Pan Yi's statement about "Leicester City is the biggest threat".
Some tabloids even speculated:
"The transformation of the relegation team Leicester City this season must have something to do with Pan Yi!"
"From the Mikel deal between Chelsea and Leicester City, and the addition of a number of Leicester City veterans who have terminated their contracts in the York City team suspected of being controlled by Pan Yi, there must be inextricable connections between the two." "Perhaps Pan Yi provided some technical support to Ranieri privately, which made Leicester City's defensive counterattack so sharp, and his use of Vardy also had the same style as when he was in Hamburg."
"Considering that the Thai owners of Leicester City, Vichai and Pan Yi, are both Asians, maybe there is cooperation between the two at the capital level?"
"But no matter what, it seems that as long as you get closer to Pan Yi, the team will undergo huge changes. This coach of Longguo really seems to have a kind of magic power! Oh no, it should be fairy energy."
"I heard that an American company invested by Manchester City owner Mansour has begun sponsoring the York City team. Do they also want to enjoy their fairyland..."
