Chapter 429 New unbeaten record in the five major leagues!
After Mbappe scored the winning goal, referee Atkinson blew the whistle to end the game.
The time on the scoreboard shows exactly 93 minutes and 01 seconds!
The players and staff on the Chelsea bench rushed into the field frantically, and there were cheering crowds everywhere.
The stands at Stamford Bridge were already boiling like lava, with people jumping and dancing, singing and dancing, cheering, crying, and hugging!
Chelsea did it, they surpassed the great Italian giants AC Milan!
They have become the team with the most consecutive unbeaten games in the history of the five major European leagues, an unprecedented fifty-nine unbeaten games!
"The game is over! The game is over! The game is over! Chelsea defeated Manchester United 3-2 at home. They have won 18 games this season, and their unbeaten streak in the league has reached 59 games!"
"Chelsea has done it. They have broken the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues created by AC Milan! This is an amazing result! They have written their names into the history of European football."
"Moreover, Chelsea is still moving forward. From now on, every step they take to move forward will create a new history!"
"Congratulations to Chelsea, congratulations to Pan Yi for coaching, and congratulations to all Chelsea players for setting a new record! The most terrifying invincible team in the history of the five major leagues was born! Chelsea is undefeated in fifty-nine games!"
Chelsea captain Terry called the entire team, including the players on the bench, to assemble. Everyone held hands, roared, and glided toward the stands with howls.
The huge cheers can almost tear the night sky.
The team of photojournalists from Chelsea's official website were filming with cameras. Their hands were shaking, their hearts were beating fast, and some even burst into tears.
The scenes they are recording now will become eternal classics and the greatest wealth and glorious memory of this team!
Pan Yi has also reached the center of the field, and he is very excited.
Fifty-nine games undefeated, he led the team to do it.
Recruiting, lineup adjustment, intensive schedule, multi-front operations, powerful opponents, they have come all the way.
From being undefeated in the season, to being undefeated in forty-nine games, to being undefeated in fifty-eight games, to being undefeated in fifty-nine games!
They fight against their opponents and against themselves.
Any slightest slack or accident may lead to collapse.
But, his Chelsea did it!
Surrounded by many reporters, Pan Yi strode around, hugging every player, high-fiving them, and thanking them for their hard work.
Finally, the handsome young coach who is the most popular in football today walked to the stands.
He bowed to the crazy fans in the stands, which is a unique salute move for a Dragon Nation native.
The glory belongs to us, and the glory belongs to you!
This action further detonated the madness at Stamford Bridge.
"Pan Yi is definitely the best head coach in the world, and can even be said to be the GOAT in coaching!" a reporter from a local TV station in London said excitedly and with emotion.
GOAT is the abbreviation of Greatest of All Time, which means the best in history and the first person in history!
In history, there are Michels and Sacchi who created a new style of play, Capello who led Milan to a 58-game unbeaten streak, and Ferguson and Mourinho who won countless championships...<
/p>
But Pan Yi is really the only one who can win various championship honors, break various historical records, and bring so many new tactical concepts to world football at the age of less than 30!<
/p>
And it only took Pan Yi more than four years to do all this!
His assistants, members of the coaching staff, and team staff all came up to hug him, shake hands, and celebrate.
And reporters also surrounded Pan Yi.
Countless microphones and recorders were stretched out to him, and cameras were pointed at him. He was the brightest star this night.
Now, every word Pan Yi said will become a part of history and be recorded with glory.
When AC Milan created a record of 58 unbeaten games, the media later lamented that this was a great miraculous record that could never be repeated.
More than twenty years have passed. In the Premier League, Pan Yi led his Chelsea team and announced to the world that a new invincible team was born.
"For me, whether we are unbeaten in fifty-eight games or unbeaten in forty-nine games, they are just simple numbers." Pan Yi said.
"What makes me happy is that the team was able to catch up under adversity and finally achieved this soul-stirring victory."
"We are moving from victory to victory! Compared with the cold numbers, what I see is the sweat of the players on the training ground and the field. What I see is the hard work of the whole team!"
"The record and glory belong to all Chelsea people. This is the best praise for everyone's efforts!"
The talented and handsome Chelsea coach faced the camera and the attention of the world and said with a smile.
Although Pan Yi still seemed relatively calm when facing the camera, all Chelsea fans were still excited.
They witnessed the miracle with their own eyes!
It’s night in London, sleepless!
Chelsea fans even spontaneously held a grand celebration parade with vehicles honking their horns to pay tribute to the team that set a new record in history!
At this moment, they are the heroes in the hearts of fans!
——
When Pan Yi appeared at the press conference with team captain Terry and goal scorer Kylian Mbappe, all reporters stood up, applauded, and expressed congratulations and respect to them.
Even those who dislike Pan Yi and Chelsea the most can only give applause at this moment.
The next day, the global media reported the game frantically.
Chelsea defeated Manchester United 3-2, breaking AC Milan's 20-year unbeaten record in the five major leagues. This is really big news.
To describe it as sensational and attracting worldwide attention is not an exaggeration at all.
Many newspapers are out of stock, and fans are buying them one after another, collecting them and saving them.
Because this is the witness of history and the glory of glory!
The entire front page of The Times is a picture paired with a number.
Chelsea's team flag, with the cheering Stamford Bridge stadium in the background, a huge number: 59!
"This is a day that will go down in the history of the Premier League. Chelsea did it. They stopped AC Milan from monopolizing the unbeaten record in the five major leagues."
Manchester Evening News: Manchester United once had the opportunity to stop Chelsea's unbeaten record at 58 games, just like they ended Arsenal. Unfortunately, the last two corner kicks changed everything. Finally, we would like to send congratulations to Chelsea:
Congratulations to your incredible team.
The Guardian: Chelsea is making great strides forward. Compared with the Rossoneri 20 years ago, this blue team seems to be closer to a truly invincible team!
Of course it’s not just the British media.
Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, South Korea, Dragon Country...
All mainstream media reported it immediately.
Especially in Pan Yi's homeland, Longguo, he and his team also appeared in the international news section of Xinwen Network, and Pan Yi was introduced in more detail.
Domestic fans and media have lamented that being on the news network is a rare opportunity that many sports figures or teams only dream of, and may even not be able to do so once in their lifetime.
And Pan Yi, being on the news broadcast at such a young age, is almost ready to become a national idol.
"Pan Yi moved from CCTV5 to CCTV1!"
Of course, this is just a joke from the fans.
In fact, this is generally used to describe those stars who enter politics through football.
For example, Czech star Nedvěd was personally awarded the Medal of Merit of the Republic by the president after he retired, and then went abroad with the president.
Of course, the most awesome one is AC Milan, each retired star is more powerful than the other.
Shevchenko, Kaladze...the most awesome one is former World Footballer Weah. Not only was he the only African player to win the Ballon d'Or, he also became the president in the end.
Some media also believe that with Pan Yi's current popularity, if he were a British national, he might have a chance to be elected if he ran for mayor of London...
As for Chelsea's unbeaten record in 59 league games, the most complicated thing is the Italian media, especially the Milan media.
Turin Sports News praised Chelsea and Pan Yi.
AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak is an honor for Milan, but it is obviously embarrassing for other Serie A giants, especially Jutus. People in Turin are very happy to see that Milan is no longer exclusive. p>
The headline of Corriere dello Sport is very official: Chelsea broke AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record, which is a very remarkable achievement.
Gazzetta dello Sport is sour and has mixed emotions.
On the one hand, after all, Pan Yi started his career with AC Milan. Although he was only an assistant coach, he helped the team win the Triple Crown after all, so he can be considered one of his own;
But on the other hand, it was an English team that broke the record after all!
Although not as dissatisfied with each other as Britain, France, and Britain and Germany, I still feel resentful that the glory that belongs exclusively to Italy and Milan has been snatched away by the British.
Therefore, they still found some excuse, thinking that Chelsea's 59-game unbeaten record was incomparable to AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record.
Because the opponents of the Rossoneri back then were the seven sisters in Serie A plus Napoli and Sampdoria. Now Chelsea is facing the declining Manchester United, the declining Manchester City, the moneyless Arsenal, the declining Liverpool, and what they want.
What Tottenham.
In a word, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Chelsea’s 59-game unbeaten record does not have enough gold.
Pan Yi also heard about Gazzetta dello Sport's report. The sour smell could almost hit his face from the Apennine Peninsula across the English Channel.
But he didn't respond.
After all, we broke the record of our old club. No need to say anything more. This is also a sign of respect for both parties.
Moreover, the undefeated record continues now.
You think being undefeated in fifty-nine games has no value, but then what about sixty or seventy games? Haha.
However, after the Italian media said this, many English people stopped working.
In particular, fans of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool actually sided directly with Chelsea this time, believing that the intensity of the English league has long surpassed that of Italy!
The evaluation of these traditional strong teams is simply an insult!
What is a declining Manchester United? A declining Manchester City? A moneyless Arsenal? A declining Liverpool?
No matter how poor or poor they are, they are still much better than the current Italian team!
As for Tottenham...
Fans of these wealthy teams agree on the Italian media’s views:
"Yes, Tottenham really want nothing."
——
January 16, London, Stamford Bridge Stadium.
In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Everton at home.
This is Chelsea's first game after breaking the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues, and it is also a game played just two days after the game against Manchester United.
This is also the last game in Chelsea's long series of consecutive matches, and it is also the final test!
Pan Yi asked all the players who played against Manchester United to rest. After all, their physical strength has only been restored to about 85%, which cannot meet the needs of the game.
Everton, who visited Stamford Bridge as a guest, had an iron-barrel formation throughout the game.
The defense led by England international Stones and Croatian international Jagielka also made Chelsea's attacks come back without success again and again.
However, the home team still patiently controlled the ball and the situation.
Until the 60th minute of the second half.
Everton stole the ball from the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the midfielder, passing it to midfielder Barry.
Barry passed to Besic, but Chelsea counterattacked on the spot, forcing Besic to pass the ball back to Barry again, and then distributed it to the right wing.
Today Everton's left back is Costa Rica international Oviedo, and Barnes, who usually appears on the left, is now playing right back.
But now Barry's sudden separation under pressure caught Barnes by surprise and he couldn't stop for a while.
By the time Barnes turned around and chased to the sideline to stop the ball, Chelsea's left winger Mbappe had already rushed in front of him and blocked him.
This also forced Everton's backcourt organizer to quickly move the ball back.
Yes, the Everton team has a unique "left-back organizational system" pioneered by Moyes. The real core organizer of the team is left-back Leighton Barnes.
Although Moyes is no longer in the team, Barnes will still habitually take the ball and organize attacks at Everton.
Therefore, Pan Yi also formulated a strategy before the game to focus on grabbing Barnes, and required that when the ball reaches Barnes' side, when it is most conducive to press, once the opportunity is created, everyone around him must
Dispatched at the same time.
At this time, Barnes was dribbling the ball back and blocking Mbappe with his body.
When Barnes turned around, protected the ball, and wanted to pass it back to center back Stones, he found that Seat B had quietly rushed forward, threatening this passing line.
The originally imagined passing line was blocked, and Barnes hesitated a little. Mbappe came up behind him again, and he could be surrounded by Seat B at any time.
This immediately made Barnes dare not let the ball stay at his feet, and directly passed the ball back from a long distance.
The ball passed Stones and passed directly back to the penalty area, looking for goalkeeper Howard.
And all experienced defenders know that this kind of long-distance backpass to the goalkeeper is unacceptable because it is very dangerous.
The return pass cannot be too strong and the ball speed cannot be too fast, otherwise, if you are not careful, it will be an own goal.
Once the distance is extended, passing the ball with low intensity and slow speed often means that the uncontrollable time is lengthened.
At this time, as long as there is a person in the middle who suddenly rushes out, he may get ahead of the goalkeeper and steal the ball away in any minute.
But Barnes is still very confident in his footwork, otherwise he would not be able to play the important role of organizer in the team.
However, this time on Chelsea's side, there is a cunning guy who has been waiting for an opportunity, and that is Lingard.
Today he was standing behind Mbappe as a shadow forward. When his teammates in front were pressing, he had been ambushing between the two Everton central defenders Stones and Jagielka.
When Stones pulled to Chelsea's left wing to meet Barnes, Lingard also came over, just to see if he could double-team Stones with the B seat.
But he always paid attention to maintaining a parallel position with Stones, for fear of going offside.
When he saw the B seat threatening Stones and Barnes being forced to take him back, the astute Lin Huang immediately realized the opportunity.
In this case, Barnes has only one way to get the ball out, and that is the goalkeeper.
So he stepped forward decisively.
When intercepting the opponent's return pass, there is no need to consider whether it is offside!
When Barnes was pressed with little space and all he could think about was passing back to the goalkeeper, how could he bother to observe the movement of a player more than ten meters away?
He just kicked the ball back and kicked him out.
But as soon as the ball was kicked out, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He saw a figure of a Chelsea player wearing a blue jersey, who had quickly rushed into the penalty area.
It’s Jesse Lingard!
Goalkeeper Howard also realized the danger, abandoned the goal and attacked, running all the way out.
However, Barnes' return pass was not fast and powerful. As a result, Lingard intercepted the ball as soon as it entered the penalty area.
The outside instep of his left foot paused lightly, and the ball, like an obedient baby, was stopped by Lingard and passed Howard, who was attacking in front of him, and fell towards the baseline behind him.
Howard missed the mark. Faced with such a threat, there is only one option that is not an option.
Foul!
But a foul at this time means a red card and a penalty kick!
In most cases, this is a loss-making transaction.
At that time, it is possible that the ball will still be lost and the player will return, and the team will have one less player.
In this flash of lightning, Howard did not commit a foul in the end. At this time, it was already too late for him to commit a foul. Lingard had already passed him and caught up with the ball.
Howard quickly stopped, then turned around and chased back.
At this time, Lingard had quickly rushed to the right side of the small penalty area. Near the baseline, he caught up with the ball that he had just stopped and fired with his right foot.
The ball almost followed a straight line and quickly rolled towards Everton's goal.
Howard tried his best to save, but where could he save?
When center back Jagielka quickly ran to the small penalty area, he fell to the ground and made a shovel, trying to destroy the shot, but it was empty.
The ball almost brushed the right post, then crossed the goal line, bounced lightly on the left post, and went right into Everton's goal.
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"In the 61st minute, Everton's iron wall finally exposed its fatal cracks under Chelsea's high pressure!"
"Barnes' pass back gave Lingard an excellent opportunity. The shadow forward passed American goalkeeper Howard and opened the scoring for Chelsea, one to zero!"
"Lingard! Chelsea's goal scorer tonight!"
After Lingard scored, he quickly turned around and rushed out of the stadium, came to the stands, and started his dance performance again.
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was shouting his name, and many fans jumped up following Lingard's movements. For a while, the stadium was filled with demons.
But everyone’s excitement is understandable.
Under such difficult circumstances, Chelsea finally scored!
Everton's iron barrel formation is finally broken!
When the final whistle blew, the 1:0 score remained unchanged.
In the end, with Lingard scoring the only goal of the game, Chelsea defeated Everton 1:0 at home.
This is also Chelsea’s 60th consecutive unbeaten game in the Premier League!
After 22 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea is already leading the standings with 19 wins, 3 draws, and 60 points.
Ranking second and third are Arsenal and Leicester City, who also have 44 points.
Manchester City is only 1 point less than them, ranking fourth with 43 points.
These four teams are also the most powerful contenders for the Champions League seats this season - well, Chelsea cannot be considered a contender in the strict sense, because they basically already have it in their hands without having to compete.
Ranked fifth and sixth are Tottenham and Manchester United, with 39 and 37 points respectively.
Crystal Palace, which was originally ranked relatively high, has shown signs of decline since losing to Chelsea.
In these two rounds, they first lost 0:1 to Aston Villa, and then were beaten 4:0 by Manchester City in the away game. After three consecutive losses, they fell out of the top six and fell to the ninth position. p>
This also shows how difficult it is for ordinary teams to steadily squeeze into the circle of BIG6.
And Leicester City can still be ranked in the top four after so many rounds, which also shows that their strength and performance this season are indeed very good.
They squeezed out Liverpool and formed a temporary BIG6 with five other teams.
For Chelsea, after defeating Everton, they can finally take a breather.
However, this "respite" is also compared to the previous suffocating and terrifying schedule.
After a rare full week of rest, they will start again and face two powerful enemies in a row.
The first is an away challenge against Arsenal, currently ranked second in the Premier League and in good form, and then the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, against Liverpool at home.
The two games are on January 24th and January 26th respectively, which means... there is still only one full day of rest in between.
