After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 418 What level are you using the same formation as me?
After the national team break, Chelsea welcomed Norwich at Stamford Bridge.

Norwich is the newcomer to the Premier League this season and was just promoted from the Championship last season. It stands to reason that there will be no suspense in the match between them and the leader Chelsea, and the media will not be interested.

However, due to the presence of the Norwich coach, the game still attracted widespread attention.

The current Norwich head coach is named Alex Neal. He is a Scot born in 1981. He is only 34 years old this year, only five years older than Pan Yi!
In other words, this is a direct dialogue between the two youngest head coaches in the Premier League!

To be honest, if Pan Yi's experience is not too amazing, this Alex Neal's resume is also worthy of special mention.

After all, even if you look at the entire five major leagues, there are not many who can be the head coach of a top league in their 30s!

He played as a midfielder in his player era, and the first team in his coaching career was the Hamilton Club of the Soviet Union. He led the team to the Soviet Premier League in the first season.

Then he entered Norwich after the winter window last season, and then led the "Canary" to grab 25 victories in 17 games, winning the No.3 British Championship and entering the play-offs.

Next, Alex Neal continued to lead the team to defeat Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough in the play-offs, and finally succeeded in surpassing!
Is this almost the script of the protagonist of Shuangwen?
而在本赛季英超战罢12轮后，诺维奇也取得了3胜3平6负的成绩，排在积分榜的第15位，暂时离降级区还有4分的距离。

For such a civilian team with the goal of relegation, the results are already very good.

Therefore, the media are also looking forward to what kind of sparks will be created between the youngest head coach Pan Yi when Alex Neal, the second youngest head coach in the Premier League, meets Pan Yi.

Alex Neal also said confidently before the game that Pan Yi is indeed the best coach in the world, but he has also thoroughly studied Chelsea, and he is also confident that he will surprise people by playing at Stamford Bridge. the match of!

-

On the evening of November 11st, the game will start soon.

The players of the two teams walked into the field under the leadership of the referee, followed by Pan Yi and also came to the coach's bench of the home team. At this time, Norwich's head coach Alex Neal walked towards him.

"Let's have a good fight today!" Alex Neil stretched out his hand quite proudly.

Pan Yi froze for a moment, then smiled and shook hands with him: "I hope it will be a wonderful match."

The main reason is that Pan Yi didn't react all of a sudden. At first, he thought it was the assistant coach of the opponent who came to say hello!

This guy, isn't he only 34 years old? He looks a bit ugly, mainly because he looks too anxious.

It is basically a half-bald hairstyle, and there are already many white hairs in those few hairs.

No wonder the public commented that he is "34 years old, 44 years old in appearance, 54 years old in wisdom".

Well, it may also be because the pressure of professional coaches is too great. Even a "young talent" like him who has achieved considerable success will inevitably be destroyed like this.

Unlike Pan Yi, I have a full head of hair, even if I don't work as a coach, I can still earn a living by relying on my appearance...

Also, what's wrong with Alex Neal's proud face?

Do we two know each other?
Pan Yizheng was a little dazed, and Alex Neal said another sentence: "I hope you can still laugh after the game."

Then he turned around and walked towards his visiting team coach's bench.

Pan Yi couldn't understand why Alex Neal had such an attitude?

Was it his stereotype of handsome men with thick hair?
Why did you suddenly give yourself such a blow?
"Who doesn't want to kill you now, let alone such a young coach." Arteta on the side laughed.

Arteta was born in 1982 and has just retired as an assistant coach.

And Alex Neal is only one year older than him, but he has already led two teams to upgrade successfully. One of them was promoted from the most fiercely competitive British Championship to the Premier League. There are indeed two brushes.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this experience that Alex Neal is still very proud.

But now the focus of the media is all on Pan Yi, after all, he is younger and has more achievements.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this comparison that Alex Neal still felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to use today's direct confrontation to prove his strength.

Of course, such a "proof" does not need to say that Norwich can beat Chelsea, or even draw.

After all, Norwich's lineup is not at the same level as Chelsea's, and it's an away game. It's too much to ask them to score points.

But as long as Alex Neal can show his tactical level in the game and make Chelsea play uncomfortable, it is enough to embarrass Pan Yi.

If he accidentally draws or even wins against Chelsea, then Alex Neal will definitely become famous in one battle and attract more attention around the world.

It is even possible to be called the "double pride" of the coaching world?

Therefore, it is understandable that he attaches great importance to this duel with Pan Yi now, and at the same time throws down harsh words.

Who made Chelsea and Pan Yi the first bird now?
"We still have to be careful, he is clearly going to risk his life!" Arteta reminded cautiously, "If I read correctly, his starting lineup is also a 3-2-4-1?"

In Chelsea's start today, Pan Yi once again resorted to the 3-2-4-1 formation of full-backs.

The center forward is Abraham.

Mbappe on the left and Gnabry on the right.

Front midfielder Lingard + Hazard.

The double midfielder is Ake + Kanter.

The three central defenders are Terry, Christensen and Zouma.

Goalkeeper Martin.

This is not because of Pan Yi's strange move when facing Norwich, it is mainly to minimize the impact of the international match day on the team.

Therefore, those players who have played more time in the game are still allowed to rotate and rest, and even the goalkeeper Courtois is placed on the substitute list.

It just so happened that my four full-backs were the backbone of their respective national teams, and they all felt tired after a few games, so they took a rest together.

Today, it is the young Ake who plays the "sinking midfielder" in a more critical position.

What he took on was the task of David Luiz at the time. When attacking, he and Kanter helped the front five to sort out the ball. When defending, he retreated to the defensive line and changed the formation to a four-back.

The only difference from David Luiz is that Ake will stand at the left back when he retreats, instead of playing as a central defender like David Luiz.

It can be said that this is a reverse operation of the "inward full-back".

This is also some adjustments made by Pan Yi to better utilize the player's ability according to the different characteristics of the players on the field.

Whether it is a newly promoted game or a home game today, Pan Yi has the confidence to do so.

But what is surprising is that Norwich has almost the same formation as Chelsea.

This young Alex Neal, you are very brave.

Dare to play such an attacking formation with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?

"Maybe he really studied your set of 3-2-4-1 seriously, and then he found it very useful, so he decided to try it on you." Arteta laughed.

"Really? That's good. I don't like the opponent shrinking up." Pan Yi also smiled, "That's fine, let's see what he learned from my formation!"

"But how could anyone dare to touch you with your formation?" Arteta couldn't help muttering, "You're so confident!"

-

Today's Alex Neal is really confident.

首先他觉得自己已经把潘毅研究透了，以3-2-4-1的其人之道，还3-2-4-1的彼人之身，是他觉得可以在斯坦福桥拿到分数的关键。

Secondly, Chelsea was tired by the international match day, and the players were highly fatigued, while Norwich was recharging their energy, waiting for work with leisure, and high morale.

This decline and rise, Norwich is not without a chance.

In the past two rounds, Norwich beat Swansea 1:0, and only lost 1:2 to Manchester City in the away game. The recent state is really good, and it also gave the team confidence.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, the pressure is all on Chelsea's side, and Norwich can create miracles!

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Alex Neal said with confidence:

"Don't be afraid of Chelsea. After the opening, we will grab a wave and try to grab the rhythm of the game and let the Blues taste our strength!"

After seeing Chelsea's starting roster tonight, he felt that Pan Yi played too wildly.

Sending so many young people under the age of 20 is too disrespectful to me, Norwich.

Today, he is going to slap Pan Yi in the face in front of everyone! ——

As soon as the game started, Chelsea kicked off first.

Although Norwich was playing away, they still followed the instructions of the head coach and tried to strangle Chelsea from the beginning.

This is actually the opening strategy that many teams that have not won the kick-off will adopt.

Because at the beginning of the game, some players would be more relaxed and did not enter the game state immediately.

If the opponent is not paying attention when kicking off at this time, and suddenly speeds up, maybe he can grab the ball.

The kick-off team often passes the ball back after the kick-off. If they grab the ball at this time, it is very likely that they will directly get an excellent offensive opportunity and have a high probability of scoring a goal.

But the problem is that when the Norwich players tried to pounce on Chelsea, they found that after the kick-off, Mbappe did not pass the ball back, but went straight to the right and handed it to Gner. brie.

And almost at the same time, Abraham, Hazard and others all rushed across the center line and rushed towards Norwich's backcourt, which also made the unexpected Norwich players a little messy.

After Gnabry received the ball in the space on the right, he took two steps to the ribs and handed it to Lingard who ran over to meet him.

Lingard knocked back, and Gnabry hit the wall for two and one, which also allowed Lingard to cut into the ribs.

At this time, Lingard sent a direct pass, and saw Mbappe rushing forward at high speed. After catching up with the pass, he rushed straight to the outside of the penalty area. Before the defensive players blocked him, he shot directly!

This shot was about [-] meters away from the goal, but the shot was full of power and went directly to the right side of Norwich's goal!

Norwich goalkeeper Rudy hadn't even gotten into the game yet when he realized...

The ball has been scored! ! !
He was stunned.

Even the entire Stamford Bridge fans were stunned!

The players of the Norwich team on the field were also stunned!
The head coach Alex Neal on the sidelines was also stunned!
How long has it been?

Half a minute, no, ten seconds?
How did you score a goal?

Only then did the commentator react, and began to explain in a hurry:
"The ball went in! The ball really went in! It was a quick goal scored by Mbappe, and the time to leave the field is..."

"Eight seconds! Oh my God, it's only eight seconds!"

"Last season, Hazard set a new record for the fastest opening goal in the Premier League when he scored just 9.5 seconds against Swansea City last season."

"And only one year later, this record was refreshed again! And the one who created this record was also a Chelsea player! It was Mbappe!"

"Since Mbappe will not be 17 years old in another month, he will also break many scoring records after adding age attributes..."

"Forget it, forgive me for not being able to find all these records for the time being, it seems a bit too much. But in short, after Chelsea broke the unbeaten record of the Premier League in the last round, they are still breaking various records!"

"Pan Yi's Chelsea is really a team born to break records!"

-

The first goal at the speed of light completely stunned the Norwich team.

Isn't that what the coach arranged?
Didn't they say that there is a chance for a good opening attack? Why did we become the ones who fell behind?

But Chelsea did not give them time to react, and quickly rushed out like a wolf.

When the visiting team re-kicked off, they found that Chelsea had launched a high-intensity high-position press towards them, and even pushed directly to the front of their penalty area, forcing every Norwich player to be a little confused.

Abraham in the front, followed by Hazard, Lingard, Mbappe and Gnabry on the two wings, all pressed very forward, and even Kanter actively stepped in to put pressure on Norwich.

This made the Norwich players feel the pressure of the mountains, and they were in a hurry. A return pass almost made a mistake and gave Chelsea a corner kick.

At this time, the opening is only 2 minutes.

Hazard quickly sent a corner kick, but the first point was controlled by the opponent's central defender Bennett and pushed out.

After Kanter grabbed the spot on the outside, he passed the defender, and after seeing the timing, he kicked straight from the outside of the penalty area.

I saw that in the penalty area, Abraham stopped the ball with his back and turned around, passing another Norwich defender Basson.

After turning around, Abraham shot low with his left foot and sent the ball into the lower left corner of Norwich's goal again!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Another teenager, Abraham also scored!"

"In less than 3 minutes, Chelsea scored two goals in a row!"

"Chelsea have had a phenomenal start to the evening."

"Norwich City obviously wanted to grab a start, but it didn't work out. Instead, they were caught off guard by Chelsea."

"Three minutes into the game, Chelsea were already leading 3-[-]. Is there a better start than this?"

-

The answer is... yes.

That is the opening 5 minutes, leading by three goals.

Just 2 minutes after the goal just passed, Lingard entangled the opponent's tall central defender Turner on the right side of the front field, and after successfully grabbing the ball, he passed it low to the right side of the penalty area.

After Hazard inserted at high speed, he stopped the ball in front of the baseline. Under the double-teaming of two Norwich players, he passed the ball to the front of the small penalty area from the gap between them.

I saw Mbappe appearing in that position in time, and after stopping the ball in the chest, he shot directly without waiting for the landing.

This shot was too late, and although goalkeeper Rudy was on the right, he still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Three to zero!
In less than 5 minutes, three shots and scored three goals!

crazy!

Chelsea has been completely crazy!

Whether it was the fans in the stands, the players on the field, or the guests in charge of the commentary, they were all dumbfounded.

Even the home team fans didn't know how to celebrate the goal.

Because the goals are almost one after another!
It can be said that the celebrations of the fans can be connected together, it seems that they are just celebrating a goal.

Before the wave subsides, another wave comes again, and the vast sea of ​​people is violently stormy!

And some fans even suspected that the scoreboard on the scene was malfunctioning, because they were a little late, and just found a seat to sit down, but saw that the score was already 3:0!
Everyone knows that Chelsea can play well, but no one has seen Chelsea play such a stormy attack from the beginning.

In front of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the visiting team had almost no power to fight back.

After falling behind by three goals, Norwich also tried to play a wave of offense to stabilize their position and boost morale, but in No. 15 minutes, Chelsea once again played a threatening offense.

Lingard and Hazard formed a beautiful continuous collision with the wall on the right side of the frontcourt. Lingard broke into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, and after attracting the attention of the defensive players, he suddenly returned with his heel.

Gnabry just passed behind Lingard, adjusted the ball to cut in, and volleyed the far corner with his left foot.

The ball rolled into the lower left corner of the visiting team's goal again.

Four to zero!
At this time, the game had only passed 15 minutes!

What kind of immortal offensive efficiency is this!
Seeing this scene, almost everyone was convinced that there would be a crazy massacre tonight.

Because even after leading by four goals, Chelsea still didn't mean to accept it as soon as it was good, but continued to press and oppress Norwich.

Norwich coach Alex Neal has lost his complacency on the sidelines, replaced by gaffes and even loss of control.

His legs even shook uncontrollably.

As a widely praised young marshal, he has never seen such a scene!
He forced himself to stand on the sidelines and shouted at the players, asking them to keep calm and hold their ground.

But at this moment, how can Norwich's players be stable?

The mentality is a bit broken!
Even if they want to be stable, Chelsea will not allow it!
No, less than 5 minutes after the fourth goal, Chelsea scored another goal!
This time it was Abraham who assisted Mbappe to score, five to zero!

Mbappe also completed a hat-trick!
Alex Nealton's feet went limp and he sat down on the ground.

He broke the defense!

"20 goals in 5 minutes, 20 goals in 5 minutes! This is the team with the most opening goals in Premier League history!"

"Pan Yi's Chelsea has set a new record! They really are a team from another planet!"

"Alex Neal is really too arrogant today, actually want to play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?"

"Facts have proved that if Pan Yi's team plays out of its own form and turns on the offensive mode, looking at the five major European leagues, there are really not many teams that can resist it."

"Now, it took only 20 minutes for Pan Yi to give Alex Neil a meeting gift, which means that he wants to force double arrogance with me? No way!"

At this time, the camera turned to the coach of the home team, and Pan Yi seemed very calm.

20 goals in 5 minutes?
Okay.

Although a new record has been set now, it was not the fastest in Pan Yi's previous life.

在2019年，英超第6轮曼城在主场对阵沃特福德的时候，曾经在17分钟打进5球，最后是8：0狂胜对手。

In 2023, Newcastle United also defeated Tottenham at home. At that time, they also scored 20 goals in 5 minutes, and the final score was 6:1.

This game even broke the mentality of Tottenham's captain goalkeeper Lori, who directly changed the goalkeeper in the second half.

"Aren't we going too far?" Arteta suddenly moved closer, "Don't you often teach us that other people's wives and children are watching..."

"Did I say that?" Pan Yi tilted his head in thought, "Then let's go too far! No matter what, we have to break some records today to be happy."

Then he looked at the young head coach next door who was on the verge of collapse, and said with a smile, "I hope he can still laugh after the game."

But Pan Yi said in his heart at this time: "Hehe, what level are you, you use the same formation as me? Go back and change quickly!"

-

Before this game, no one would have believed that Norwich, who has been in good form recently, would suddenly collapse.

It's as if, when he got the list of Chelsea's starting lineup, Alex Neal was sure that Pan Yi played too much.

But such "terrorist incidents" really happened.

At the end of the first half, a breakthrough by Mbappe caused a foul in the penalty area and Chelsea got a penalty.

Hazard did it overnight and expanded the score to six to zero.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Chelsea did not intend to stop at all, but launched a more violent attack.

Alex Neal changed three players in one go at halftime.

These players are all defensive players!Among them are two full-backs.

他也把阵型从3-2-4-1改成了4-4-1-1，这是被打怕了，要加强防守了！
But it was useless at this time, and the Norwich players were a little at a loss on the court.

In the second half, Zuma relied on a corner kick and scored with a header in the 55th minute, seven to zero!
In the 65th minute, Mbappe scored again, [-]-[-]!He completed the big four!

In the 74th minute, Gretzka, who came off the bench, also scored with a ground-breaking long shot, nine to zero!
In the stands, the visiting team stands were already empty.

Norwich fans are already leaving the field early, obviously they can't stand such a fiasco.

Although they had psychological expectations for the away loss to Chelsea, no one expected to lose so much!
After all, they only lost one goal away to Manchester City!

And the score of 9:0 has actually tied the record for the largest difference in the history of the Premier League.

Before that, the record belonged to Manchester United.

在1995年3月4日，曼联9：0大胜尹普斯维奇。

This record has not been broken until now - including Pan Yi's previous life.

In the next few games, they also scored 9:0, namely:
2019年10月25日南安普顿0-9莱斯特城；

2021年2月2日曼联9-0南安普顿；

2022年8月27日利物浦9-0伯恩茅斯。

As if it was an agreement with everyone, after scoring 9 goals, it was impossible to score the 10th goal.

But today, Chelsea broke through the limit of "9"!
At the end of the game, Norwich gave Chelsea a corner kick.

Hazard took a corner kick, Ake flew the header, and Lukaku, who came off the bench, seized the opportunity in the crowd and hit the goal with a header from close range.

10: 0!

This means that the 20-year record for the largest score in the Premier League was broken by Chelsea again today!
