Chapter 413 Breaking Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten record?(1/2)

 York City’s youth training process must be done slowly step by step, and Pan Yi must also lead Chelsea to make steady progress.

On November 5, Chelsea ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage at Stamford Bridge and faced Lyon at home.

Lyon's lineup today is a 433, but it is not the traditional three forwards with two wingers, but a midfielder with two centers, more accurately, one.

The double forwards are Lacazette and Aldo, the attacking midfielder Valbiena, the three midfielders are Corentin Torres, Gonalons, and Danger, and the four backs are Morel and Mutiti.

Bisevachi, Yalai, goalkeeper Anthony Lopez.

Both the formation and personnel are quite different from the first round.

Obviously, Lyon head coach Fournier must have watched the fierce battle between Chelsea and Liverpool and was slightly shocked by Pan Yi's formation.

Therefore, when they visited Stamford Bridge this time, they racked their brains to use this formation, hoping to deal with Pan Yi's 3241 army-style attack group.

But Pan Yi did not follow their wishes. Instead, he arranged a relatively conventional 352, except that Harry Kane was allowed to rest on the front line, and Mbappe Lukaku's "double fast" combination was arranged.

Did you guess that my name is Pan Yi?

It's just different from the previous game in France. Chelsea played very steadily at home and patiently controlled the ball from the beginning.

Pan Yi lined up a strong combination of Kante, Goretzka and Matic in the midfield to help Chelsea firmly control the situation on the field, while Lyon adopted the defensive counterattack tactics that he had prepared long ago.

When the game reached the 20th minute, Chelsea launched an attack from the left.

Today's wing-back Cancelo was in good condition. He turned around and got rid of the ball in one go, leaving the opponent's defender Morel behind and passing the ball to forward Mbappe.

Bisevazi tried to prevent Mbappe from stopping the ball and directly put the tackle, but the French forward deftly picked the ball past Bisevac, and quickly advanced with the ball himself, attracting the ball to the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area.

After Mutiti passed the ball to Lukaku on the right.

Lukaku accelerated and quickly rushed to the right side of the top of the key. Then he kicked a furious shot with his left foot and sent the ball to the right side of the goal guarded by Anthony Lopez. Then he turned around and sent it towards Mbappe.

Today’s first like.

One to zero! Chelsea takes the lead at home!

Lyon, who was one goal behind, still showed tenacity and did not flinch at all.

Chelsea continued to control the ball steadily.

Pan Yi knows very well that the current situation is quite favorable to Chelsea.

Because the ball is controlled by Chelsea, Lyon's consumption is greater than Chelsea's.

Sure enough, when the game reached around the 70th minute of the second half, David Luiz, who was playing as a central defender today, made a late pass and attracted Lyon's frontcourt press, and suddenly sent a long pass.

Both Bicevac and Mbappe are quickly judging the placement.

The Lyon central defender took the first step to clear the ball with a header, but under the pressure of Mbappe, Bisevac wanted to tip the ball to his teammate Mutiti, but instead of hitting the right part, it fell to his side.

After.

Mbappe reacted very quickly, rushed forward first, stopped the ball, rushed into the penalty area, volleyed, and once again broke through Anthony Lopez's goal.

Two to zero!

Chelsea's two forwards were both in good form today and each scored a goal.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea did not give up as soon as it was good, but pursued the victory and launched a wave of offensive.

Pan Yi also replaced players such as B-seat and Hazard successively to strengthen the team's offensive.

After that, Chelsea still got consecutive opportunities, and Hazard also cut in and scored a push shot in the 88th minute.

Three to zero, Chelsea easily won Lyon at home.

What makes Pan Yi even more happy than this victory is that in another group match, Wolfsburg drew 1:1 with Porto.

In this way, after the four rounds of the group stage, Chelsea ranked first in the group with 12 points after winning all four games, followed by Lyon and Wolfsburg with four points, and finally Porto with two points.

This means that with only two games left in the game, the remaining three teams will not be able to catch up with Chelsea anyway.

Chelsea also won the first place in the group two rounds ahead of schedule!

Such results, while demonstrating Chelsea's terrifying dominance, also turned their last two group matches into inconsequential "friendly matches."

This will undoubtedly help Pan Yi cope with the tight schedule ahead.

And then, he can devote more energy to the next game.

That is the 12th round of the Premier League, when Chelsea plays Arsenal at Stamford Bridge!

This is undoubtedly a game that fans all over the world are looking forward to.

bg6 civil war, London derby, famous coach battle, Premier League championship competition... these labels alone are enough to make fans excited.

And this game also has one of the most important gimmicks, that is, Chelsea has officially hit the Premier League's unbeaten record!

After defeating Liverpool, Chelsea has equaled Arsenal's record in 2003, also unbeaten in 49 games.

And if they can continue to defeat the current Arsenal, then this record can be completely wiped out and Chelsea can monopolize this glorious and magical record!

Can Wenger lead Arsenal to defend their glory?

Will Pan Yi show off his skills again in such a crucial milestone battle?

Such suspense really makes fans excited.

For Wenger, his mood recently can be said to be a world of ice and fire.

On the one hand, Arsenal's performance in the league is very good. After 11 rounds, they have the same record as Manchester City, with 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 25 points, ranking second and third in the standings respectively.< /p>

Although there is a 6-point gap from first-place Chelsea, it is not too far behind.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

This is why before the game between Chelsea and Arsenal started, the media defined it as a "championship battle".

As for Arsenal's long-standing "competition for the four major causes", it can now be considered a favorable terrain, temporarily suppressing teams such as Leicester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham behind them.

It stands to reason that while Wenger continues to operate on a small budget, he is really pleased to have achieved such results.

But the problem is, their current performance in the Champions League is very poor.

In theory, the other two teams in Arsenal's group, except Bayern, should be relatively easy to deal with.

However, they lost to the Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb 1:2 in the first round, and then lost 2:3 at home to the Greek team Olympiacos, instantly falling into a deadlock.

In the third round, Arsenal finally made a splash, defeating Bayern Munich 2-0 at home, retaining their hope of qualifying.

But when they arrived at the Allianz Arena, they were bombarded by Nan Dawang and went home with a 1:5 defeat.

As a result, after four rounds of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal only accumulated three points, and qualifying for the group became in danger.

To be honest, Wenger does not expect to make any big achievements in the Champions League this season, but the problem is that the more he wins in the Champions League and the further he goes, the more money he will make!

Every time you win a game, you will get more than 2 million euros. If you enter the top 16 or the top eight, you can get more than 10 million euros in bonuses from UEFA for every step you take.

And home ticket prices are even higher. Arsenal now owns the Emirates Stadium, and ticket prices are the highest in Europe. The revenue from a Champions League home game may even reach tens of millions of euros!

Coupled with the sharing of broadcast fees, sponsors and other income, if you are eliminated in the group stage, it can be said that you will lose a lot of money.

Of course, Arsenal's fate is still in their own hands.

Because Bayern also won against the other two teams, and Arsenal also won one game against Bayern. This means that as long as the Gunners can win all the next two games, they still have a good chance of qualifying.

But Wenger's headache is that he now has to deal with the problem of multi-line combat.

Obviously, the team's performance fluctuates as the season progresses and multiple fronts operate continuously.

This allowed them to defeat dark horse Leicester City 5:2, beat Manchester United 3:0, and beat Bayern 2:0, but then they lost to Greek and Croatian teams in succession.

It just so happens that at this time, we have to face the hardest nut to crack in the Premier League and even in Europe, Chelsea.

How to deal with Pan Yi?

To be honest, Wenger didn't have a very good idea.

Ever since Pan Yi used a 3241 formation without fullbacks in the last round against Liverpool, the entire world of football has turned its attention to it, and Wenger is no exception.

While he was amazed by Pan Yi's genius idea, he also lamented that it would be harder for him to figure out or guess Pan Yi's tactics and intentions.

Sure enough, Pan Yi did not always use this 3241. In the Champions League group match on Wednesday, he used his usual 352 and easily defeated Lyon.

This really made Wenger think a lot. What kind of lineup will Pan Yi line up at Stamford Bridge? How should he respond?

But he also has good news, that is, the morale of the players in the team is very high.

On the one hand, it is because if Arsenal cannot win, then Chelsea will break the unbeaten record in the Premier League set by the Gunners' seniors, which makes the current Arsenal players feel depressed.

For Wenger, this is a record he created with his own hands, and of course he does not want it to be taken away from him.

Although the players under his command have changed batch after batch, as long as Wenger is around, the Gunners' spirit will continue to be passed on!

On the other hand, everyone now wants to defeat Pan Yi and defeat Chelsea, and Arsenal players are no exception.

Or it can be said that since Pan Yi took over Chelsea, the Blues have not only become a thorn in the side of all Premier League managers, but even the players are eager to compete with Chelsea.

Because everyone knows that playing well against Chelsea attracts far more attention than playing other games.

And if he performs well in a London derby where Pan Yi wants to break the record, he will be able to prove his value in the team!

"Should Giroud or Walcott be used?"

At the coaching meeting, Wenger was consulting the assistant coaches for their opinions.

Wenger initially decided that he would still use his best 4231 formation to cope with changes. After all, it is really impossible to guess Pan Yi's thoughts.

But this "1" has variables. Should we use the faster Walcott, or the slower but more obvious fulcrum and better header Giroud?
