Chapter 414 The Soul Painter with Excellent Painting Skills
In this world, almost every derby is a war full of gunpowder.
After all, the two sides that can be called "Derby" are often either bitter enemies or bitter rivals in the same city. There are too many conflicts of interest and historical entanglements.
If there is no smell of gunpowder, then there must be a clear gap in strength or ranking between the two teams, or the two teams have been together for a long time and their attention has dropped a lot.
A very typical example is the Milan Derby.
When the two teams were at their peak, they could compete most directly in both the league and the Champions League. At that time, fans of both AC Milan and Inter Milan would definitely compete passionately online.
But with the decline of Serie A, the Milan duo has become the Milan duo, and the two teams in Milan have become brothers. The fans of the two teams will no longer be so at odds with each other, and more often they will stick together for warmth. p>
If we play the Milan Derby again at this time, to be honest, whether it is local fans or fans from all over the world, the interest is definitely not as intense as it was during the "Fireworks Derby".
However, as the Milan duo can once again compete for supremacy in Serie A and the Champions League, and when they become at odds again, the war of words between fans on both sides will begin to escalate.
If one day the two teams can return to their peak glory days, the confrontation between the two teams will definitely become the focus of the world, and then mutual scoldings will be inevitable.
The same goes for Manchester United and Arsenal.
Although it is not a derby between the two teams, when they were the most direct rivals for the championship at the beginning of the 21st century, when did the two teams meet without overwhelming excitement and heated scenes?
But after the two teams began to slump together, the two of them became sworn brothers with Milan and became known as the "Taoyuan Derby" with the titles of eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. The relationship between them also eased a lot.
When there is a direct confrontation, the fans are not so fierce. Why should a down-and-out team bother a down-and-out team?
And at this time, everyone is enjoying the Three Kingdoms jokes and has no time to quarrel.
What about "Mao Tiuchang", what about "My second brother is invincible", what about "I am the same"...
Okay, when Manchester United started to improve a bit, especially when Arsenal had the hope of competing for the championship, the eyes of the two teams were red when they met, what about second brother and third brother, let's go, today I just want to "warm the wine and cut off the tension."
Fly”!
The gimmicks of the Taoyuan Derby are rarely mentioned.
Today's London derby is no exception.
Although the derby between Chelsea and Arsenal is not as tit-for-tat as Arsenal and Tottenham, or Liverpool and Everton, it is not much different.
Especially when there is a direct competitive relationship between the two teams.
Because today, if Arsenal can defeat Chelsea, the points gap between the two sides can be reduced to three points, and they can compete for the league championship this season.
As long as Chelsea does not lose to Arsenal, they can break Arsenal's unbeaten record in the Premier League. This is also very exciting for Arsenal, both players and fans.
This led to a war of words between the media and the fans before the London Derby.
From the history of the two teams, to previous games, to this season's performance, and the confrontation in the Community Shield, it has become the focus of everyone's quarrel.
When they arrived at the scene, Chelsea fans at home held high the banners "We are the Kings of London" and "Wenger's record will soon become history" and shouted the slogan "We will be undefeated in 50 games soon", hoping that the team
Being able to defeat the rivals in the same city at home and continue the excellent performance and state of the past two seasons.
But even though the Arsenal fans were playing away from home, they were still willing to give in.
They grandly pulled out a banner in the stands that read "Pan Yi will never be Wenger." This move immediately aroused the anger and abuse of Chelsea fans in the audience.
After all, Pan Yi is the god in Chelsea’s eyes now!
Of course God cannot be slandered by his opponents at will.
As a result, the fans on both sides, especially those near the Arsenal visiting team stands, stretched out their fingers to make international friendly gestures and communicated cordially in various languages.
The atmosphere of eager communication between the two teams of fans in the stands made the riot police who maintained order at the scene feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They were afraid that some fans would suddenly break out and eventually turn into a big physical exchange, so they kept
He was there to appease the fans.
But this is a London derby, and with multiple emotions, even the police have a hard time calming down the fans.
"Today's London derby was full of excitement. Fans from both sides were shouting slogans at each other in the stands, hoping to overwhelm their opponents in momentum before the game started."
"Although Chelsea is home, the Arsenal fans who can come to Stamford Bridge today are all die-hard fans with strong fighting spirit. They may even gain the upper hand in the Stamford Bridge library."
"It's just that judging from the match records between the two teams in the past two years, Arsenal only defeated Chelsea once in the FA Cup. They were at a disadvantage in all other games, including a big defeat where they lost three goals." "And if we expand the head-to-head record to include Pan Yi and Wenger, the gap here will be even greater. It can be said that Wenger is at an absolute disadvantage."
"At the pre-match press conference, Chelsea head coach Pan Yi also said that he believed the team would achieve good results in this London derby. As for Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record, he was not too optimistic about it.
No matter what, the key point is still to get three points."
"Pan Yi does have enough confidence. After all, the fact that his team can hit the unbeaten record in the Premier League shows everything."
"Looking at Arsenal, head coach Arsene Wenger took the initiative to show weakness before the game, saying that Chelsea was indeed stronger. The Gunners would be satisfied as long as they could get a draw away from home."
"However, Arsenal fans don't seem to see it that way. The famous Arsenal fan dt said in an interview with the media that Arsenal is in good shape this season. As long as they perform normally, there is a possibility of winning. A draw will send the opponent to the opponent.
An undefeated record is unacceptable!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"He also said that Wenger should have the determination and confidence to catch up with Chelsea and Manchester City. Otherwise, he should leave as soon as possible."
In the home team's locker room at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea players who had just returned from warm-up training on the court were all sitting in their seats. They were already dressed and ready to play at any time.
Pan Yi stood among them, scanning every player in front of him with his eyes, while his mind was rapidly brewing the words of mobilization before the game.
Finally, he stood still among the players, clapped his palms vigorously, and attracted all the attention.
"I don't need to say more about the importance of today's game. I believe everyone understands it."
"Although I said at the press conference before the game that I don't value the unbeaten record, that is false."
"I certainly hope that my name, and the names of everyone here, will be engraved in the history of the Premier League and will be mentioned for many years to come."
"If you ask any Arsenal fan now and ask him to name the Arsenal lineup in the unbeaten season, he will definitely know it by heart. He will remember Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, and Ashley Coe.
Er, Campbell, Ljungberg, Pires, Leman... Yes, even I remember them."
"This kind of history has even been made into a movie and has become a phenomenon and a sentiment."
"Do you also want to be mentioned like this in 10, 20, or even 50 years? They will mention the team that has been invincible in the Premier League since the summer of 2014!"
Looking at the firm eyes of the players, Pan Yi smiled slightly and continued:
"I also saw it in the stadium just now. Some Arsenal fans hung up banners, saying that I couldn't be Wenger."
"Yes, I admit that I may not be able to stay in a club for that long. But time is not everything. I will use a shorter time to achieve Wenger's achievements and... surpass him." "Not to mention whether I can break his record, at least I have won the Champions League."
Everyone laughed.
"I respect coach Wenger very much. In fact, I have a very good relationship with him. But today, we just want to defeat him and take away his record!"
"Many people say that we are a brand new Chelsea. Including me, including you, all of us also feel that we are completely different from any Chelsea in the past."
"No, we are stronger than any Chelsea team in the past ten years, the past twenty years, and the past hundred years! We can defeat any opponent that stands in front of us, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal..."<
/p>
When Pan Yi said this, he deliberately stopped and asked everyone to raise their heads and look at him.
Every player's eyes reflect a strong fighting spirit.
Then Pan Yi took a step back and let Arteta step forward.
As the former captain of Arsenal, he also has something to say.
"I was an Arsenal player a few months ago, so if you score a goal and win, I will be happy for you, but I won't celebrate from the sidelines."
Arteta said:
"I was once proud of Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record, but today, I hope that I can strive for a new record as a member of Chelsea."
"As a professional coach, of course I will do my best to help you defeat any opponent."
"I have analyzed the characteristics of Arsenal players many times with you in previous training sessions. Now let me talk about the key points..."
A few minutes later, Arteta took out a piece of paper from somewhere and started drawing on it.
Then, under the pen of this "soul painter", a heart-shaped cartoon character appeared on the paper, with a brain next to it, two hands holding hands, and a little man behind him holding a sign that read "
Chelsea".
Above "Heart Man", there is a word written, "pan passion".
There is also a word written on the "brain man", "crty clear idea".
Two "people" are connected together by a word "energy".
Just when Pan Yi was secretly praising Brother Tazi for his painting skills and all the players were confused, Arteta spoke again:
"We are a team that connects and shines. No matter what position you play and what role you hold, you are expected to impart clarity of thought, energy and passion to your teammates and the way you play, just like these two 'people'
Same."
"As long as we always remember this, we will be a new, competitive and fearless Chelsea."
"We must win this game so that everyone in the world can clearly see what kind of united team we are and what kind of invincible team we are!"
At the end of Arteta's words, he clenched his fist with his right hand, looking unwavering.
Although Pan Yi feels that both this picture and Arteta's analysis of this picture are a bit awkward, it is obvious that the players still like this.
In the locker room, all the players were deeply affected by Brother Tazi's words, and many people were already shouting, "Let Arsenal have a try!"
The motivational effect of the chief ppt master is still very obvious!
Pan Yi also added at the right time: "Today we are playing at home. I hope to suppress our opponents from the opening stage and let Arsenal feel our strength!"
Everyone also shouted in response to the head coach’s instructions!
Players from both teams walked out of the tunnel under the leadership of the referee.
The home team Chelsea sent out all its main players in this game, but Pan Yi still arranged a 352 formation.
It can be said that Chelsea's lineup is exactly Pan Yi's usual main lineup this season, except that Goretzka replaced the B seat to achieve the strategic goal of targeting Sanchez.
As for the 3241 formation that shocked the world before, Pan Yi certainly won't show it out often.
If you keep releasing strange moves, do you still call them strange moves?
Besides, there are so many powerful wing-backs in the team now, so it’s impossible to just use them all the time. It would be too wasteful.
It's not like Manchester City in the past, who often used 3241 during the season. In fact, part of the reason is that they lack full-backs.
At that time, Manchester City had sold Zinchenko and loaned Cancelo to Bayern. Benjamin Mendy was still preparing to go to jail. There was only one serious full-back, Walker, and he couldn't even match both sides.
One each.
What about the centre-backs? Ake, Akanji, Ruben Dias, Stones, Aymeric Laporte, and Rodri all play as centre-backs in the Spanish national team. It can be said that all of them are top players.<
/p>
In this case, Guardiola chose a formation with three central defenders and zero full-backs, which can be said to be a very perfect choice.
Coupled with the attackers like De Bruyne and the B-seat in the frontcourt, coupled with the man-eating Haaland, this formation can be said to be very suitable for Manchester City.
But there is no need for Pan Yi now.
He has enough personnel on hand to play in any formation he wants.
People like Marcos Alonso, Azpilicueta and others are in excellent form, and there is no reason to put them on the bench or even exclude them from the squad.
To deal with old rivals like Arsenal, the old lineup is enough.
In fact, Arsenal's lineup today is not surprising.
Forward: Walcott.
Frontcourt: Sanchez, Ramsey, Willian.
Midfielder: Cazorla, Coquelin.
Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Gabriel, Bellerin.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
It's still 4231. The only variable is that the center forward is not Giroud, but the fast horse Walcott.
This also shows that when facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Professor Wenger still wants to be more cautious and focus on solid defense and quick counterattacks.
At this time, the battering ram Dajiru may be of slightly less use, so it has been temporarily hidden.
"We saw that Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Sanchez appeared in the center circle, ready to kick off, and both sides were already in place."
"With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins."
"Arsenal kicked off and Chelsea pressed hard."
"Dear viewers, the season, the twelfth round of the London Derby of the Premier League, has officially begun!"
"Let's introduce the lineups of both sides. Arsenal, wearing the traditional red and white jerseys, attacks from the left to the right of the screen. Their goalkeeper today is Cech... Wait, let's take a look at this ball!"
"Arsenal kicked off the ball and passed it to the backcourt, and there were already three people in the frontcourt who directly inserted themselves into the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. Then the ball was passed long and found Sanchez on the left. It seemed that this was a kick-off routine by Arsenal.
I want to take advantage of Sanchez's speed and breakthrough to give Chelsea a head start in the opening stage."
"But Goretzka was very guarded against Sanchez. It can be seen that from the moment the ball kicked off, Goretzka was running with Sanchez. Yes, almost at the moment Sanchez moved forward, Goretzka
I also moved there."
"Therefore, Goretzka was well prepared for this long ball. He jumped high and destroyed the ball out of the sideline. Arsenal's foul ball."
"Bellerin came out of bounds to serve and threw it to the right, but Chelsea's left back Marcos Alonso grabbed the ball and passed it to Kante in the center."
"Kante pushed the ball forward without hesitation! Because at this time, Hazard had already reacted quickly and inserted it into Arsenal's ribs!"
"He was very fast, received the ball, cut into the penalty area, and then... passed to the right!"
"Lukaku rushed in and shot!"
"The ball is scored!
”
"gallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
”
"Oh my God, before I even finished introducing the players on both sides, Chelsea took the lead in scoring Arsenal's goal!"
"Let's see how long this goal took... only 30 seconds!"
"It's so surprising, so unbelievable! In just 30 seconds, Chelsea took the lead at home!"
"Another classic Belgian connection! Hazard is so fast, and Kante also passes the ball very well."
"Koscielny couldn't keep up with Hazard's cut, and Cech's attack was a bit slow, and the timing was not very good."
"Hazard was not greedy for credit, he passed the ball directly, and then Lukaku made the contribution!"
"Arsenal is in a pretty bad situation now. Conceding a goal just at the beginning of the game will definitely have a great impact on their tactical play, and Chelsea should be able to perform more calmly after taking the lead."
After Lukaku scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines crazily and shouted at the Chelsea fans in the stands. All the Blues fans in the audience were shouting "Lukaku!" "Luka"
Library!".
He raised his arms high and enjoyed the cheers and applause of everyone in the audience.
But the Chelsea players chasing him quickly surrounded him.
Pan Yi was also very happy on the sidelines. He turned around and hugged his assistants one by one to celebrate.
Before the game, the team focused on rehearsing the opening, including several offensive lines, how to play, and who will play. These are all practiced.
Of course, the focus is also on Goretzka marking Sanchez.
Just because he knows that Arsenal will attach great importance to playing Sanchez, Pan Yi has repeatedly told Goretzka to keep an eye on Sanchez and not let him have any chance to get the ball comfortably!
Obviously, Goretzka did a good job in the opening minute.
It was precisely because of his successful defense that Arsenal's opening raid failed, and instead Chelsea's counterattack was achieved.
When he saw Lukaku and the players ending their celebration and walking towards their own half one by one, Pan Yi went up to them.
"Good guy, well done!" Pan Yi hugged Lukaku and patted Hanhan on the back of his head to celebrate his goal.
To be honest, when Pan Yi chose to use Harry Kane instead of Lukaku on the single arrow with 3241, he was a little worried about Hanhan's emotions.
If this emotion cannot be calmed down in time, it will definitely affect the quality of training and thus the state of the game.
Obviously, Lukaku was not affected.
His trust in Pan Yi has gone deep into his bones!
Whatever decision Pan Yi makes, he will obey it unconditionally!
Whether it is his performance when playing against Lyon or today's goal, it is proved that Lukaku still maintains a positive attitude and good condition!
Necessary rotation is actually good for the physical and mental health of the players and for keeping them hungry.
In Pan Yi's previous life, why did Guardiola often take Haaland off the field when he was leading instead of staying on the field to set records? This is exactly the reason.
Of course, for the entire Chelsea team, Lukaku's goal is also of great significance.
In such a game that may go down in history, a goal was scored only 30 seconds into the game. Is there any better start than this?
"Keep working hard, don't be careless." Pan Yi also shouted to the players on the field, "Try to score more goals!"
"Okay!"
The players, including Lukaku, agreed in unison and quickly returned to their own half, lined up and waited for Arsenal's attack.
The gunmen all looked very depressed.
This opening... is really outrageous!
Everyone knows that Chelsea in the past two seasons has been difficult to play, and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is even more difficult to play.
At least in the Premier League, Chelsea still maintains a winning record after Pan Yi took over!
This can definitely be called a hell-level library.
Arsenal players are eager to compete in this game, and part of the reason is that if they can defeat the invincible Chelsea in an away game, it will also be a very glorious achievement!
But now the ball is conceded in the first 30 seconds, how can the game continue?...
