The draw between Chelsea and Leicester City naturally aroused widespread discussion from the outside world.

On the one hand, this game can be regarded as a test for the dark horse of Leicester City.

To be able to escape unscathed in front of Chelsea, this dark horse is definitely good enough!

This also proves that Pan Yi's "prophecy" a long time ago is true. Leicester City is indeed capable enough to pose a threat to Chelsea.

Being able to climb to the second position in the standings cannot be explained by luck!

And Sky Sports host Leinker may not be able to keep his pants...

On the other hand, Chelsea evened the score at the end of the game under extremely difficult circumstances and continued their unbeaten record.

This also shows that under the leadership of Pan Yi, Chelsea, even if they are sometimes unstable and have bad luck, they can still adjust quickly and score the goals they need.

This is the aura of a strong person, and it is also a temperament that has been slowly formed over the past year.

That is, no matter what the scene is on the court or what the score is, everyone at Chelsea always believes that things will develop in a direction that is beneficial to them!

If we talk about the attributes in the game, every player on this team has "willpower", "stress resistance" and other mental attributes that are off the charts!

Therefore, after this game was played, the major media and football forums were either praising Chelsea or Quaest City.

After a game, there is no loser and no one is "called", which is quite rare.

But for Chelsea people, they don’t have much free time to care about what others are saying.

Because their schedule is really tight this time.

After the thrilling draw with Leicester City, the team took a short rest and flew directly to Japan the next day.

All matches of this Club World Cup will be played at Osaka Mayor Land Arena and Yokohama International Arena.

The semi-final between Chelsea and Choshu Tsuneta was held in Yokohama, so of course they flew there.

Yokohama is an international port city in the eastern part of Kanagawa Prefecture, facing the Pacific Ocean. It has a subtropical humid climate with four distinct seasons and a small temperature difference between day and night.

In December, although it is already winter, it is still sunny most of the time and it is difficult to see snow.

Therefore, the overall weather is relatively comfortable, not particularly cold, and can be said to be quite comfortable.

The morning after arriving in Yokohama, the team conducted another training session and then had free time.

On the one hand, the recent schedule is indeed a bit tight, and after experiencing a shocking draw with Leicester City, the players also need to relax.

On the other hand, it is difficult for a team like Changzhou Hengtai to threaten Chelsea.

Pan Yi had just entered professional football in his first year. When he was an assistant coach at AC Milan, the first game he directed was against Changzhou Hengtai.

At that time, Pan Yi's tactical knowledge was limited to Klopp's tactics, and to be honest, Milan's strength was not as good as Chelsea's now.

Apart from anything else, young players like Kanter and Van Dijk have grown up a lot in recent years.

Just like that, Pan Yi still led Milan to a 6:0 sweep of Changzhou Hengtai.

Therefore, this Club World Cup semi-final, if we exclude the fact that Changzhou Hengtai is a Dragon Kingdom team, for Pan Yi, it is just like a business friendly match, with basically no challenge.

In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, Changzhou Hengtai had the opportunity to participate in the Club World Cup twice and encountered the Champions League champion.

Once against Bayern and once against Barcelona.

The two opponents are different, but the same thing is that there is no chance in the game, and it is basically a one-sided defeat.

In both games, only one Changzhou Hengtai player could barely hold the ball, one was Conca and the other was Paulinho.

There is no way, the gap between Asian football and European football is so big, let alone a team dominated by Dragon Country players...

As for the potential final opponent River Plate, to be honest, that's the same thing.

In recent years, the level gap between the European leagues and the South American leagues has become wider and wider. The South American leagues have basically become a place for Europe to discover and cultivate little monsters. Players who are slightly better will be poached by Europe immediately.

In the early days, the Toyota Cup, which had a direct confrontation between the champions of the Copa Libertadores and the European Champions Cup, was the predecessor of the Club World Cup, and the two still had winners and losers;

But since the Club World Cup was changed to the current format in 2007, the results have been basically one-sided.

From 2007 to 2022, there is one competition every year. In so many competitions, European clubs have only lost the championship once, and they have won all the rest.

Oh, who is the shameful European champion who lost the title?

Haha, it’s Chelsea!

In Pan Yi's previous life, after they defeated Bayern in the season final to win the championship, they lost to Corinthians of Brazil in the Club World Cup and only finished second. It can be said to be a shame for Europe.

But in this life, it should be unlikely that such a situation will happen again.

Looking through River Plate's roster, Pan Yi only found one familiar player, and that was "Rabbit" Saviola, who was awarded the South American Footballer of the Year at the age of 18.

He became famous at a young age and is one of the few players who has played for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But his career in European professional football never went smoothly, and he later returned to his roots and returned to the River Plate team he played for when he debuted.

To be honest, Saviola, who is 34 years old this year, can pose a very limited threat, just like Ronaldinho of Atletico Mineiro in 2013. At that time, they failed to even make it to the finals, leading to the following.

Changzhou Hengtai played in the third or fourth place finals.

If a veteran can’t do it, can a rising star do it?

The answer is no.

In 2011, the Santos team had the supernova Neymar who had not yet been poached, but they still lost to Barcelona 0:4 in the final - although this game was considered a vote, Barcelona later poached Neymar.

.

In short, it is generally difficult for South American teams to cause any substantial trouble to the Champions League champions.

Therefore, Chelsea’s trip to the Club World Cup is both a competition and a way to relax.

Chelsea may also need to be wary of upsets by their opponents, but at least they don't need to be as nervous as they are in the Champions League or Premier League.

The day before the game, after the morning training session, after taking a lunch break, the Chelsea team set off for Chinatown.

Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan and even Asia. Together with Kobe Nankinmachi and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown, it is also known as the three major Chinatowns in Japan.

This is a Chinese residential area with a history of 140 years, also commonly known as "Chinatown".

Pan Yi was invited by the mayor of Yokohama to visit Chinatown.

The main reason is that Pan Yi’s popularity in Asia is so popular!

The head coach of the European champion is the only one in Asia with no other branches. Not to mention that Pan Yi also coached the Japanese national team captain Makoto Hasebe when he was in Hamburg, so he is very popular in Japan.

This is actually easy to understand.

Like the three countries of China, Japan and South Korea, you don’t agree with me and I don’t agree with you all day long, sometimes this one is arguing with that one, sometimes this one is arguing with that one...

But if something special happens, everyone will still treat the "yellow race" as a collective and stand on the same front.

For example, when Yao Ming became famous in the NBA and Su Bingtian achieved good results in the Olympics, these were almost things that all Asia should be proud of.

Speaking of football, when Son Heung-min won the Premier League Golden Boot and was the three-goal champion at Brighton, most of our Dragon Country fans besides being bitter, expressed their admiration.

And when Son Xingmin was bullied by captain Lloris at Tottenham, netizens from Japan and China would fight for him.

Coming to Pan Yi in this life, he is an East Asian and can win the top championship in the top club in the world. This also makes every yellow person feel proud.

Because of this, the mayor of Yokohama tried to invite Pan Yi to visit Chinatown, which was equivalent to promoting Yokohama.

As for why you came to Chinatown?

Of course it's because Pan Yi is from the Dragon Kingdom, so coming here is more friendly.

Moreover, this is a prime location in downtown Yokohama, and it can also be regarded as a commercial center, with great economic benefits.

For Pan Yi, since he wants to relax, it’s good to go shopping, which is equivalent to having a free tour guide.

Of course, more importantly...

This Chinatown is a famous eating area in Yokohama City. There are more than 200 Ryukoku restaurants alone!

Chinatown is bustling with Japanese and foreign tourists who visit Chinatown every day to taste Longguo cuisine.

As a foodie coach who has to eat when directing the game, why not come and taste it?

So, he took the entire Chelsea team and set off!

But once you get to Chinatown, it’s amazing.

Although there are police clearing the way and the mayor of Yokohama personally acting as a guide, the street is still blocked!

It’s no wonder, Chinatown is already very popular, but when your whole Chelsea team comes over, why don’t everyone gather around to watch the stars?

When seeing Pan Yi, there were even more screams, whether they were people from the Dragon Kingdom, Japanese, Koreans, or tourists from Europe and the United States...

Even those girls who are not fans can’t move their feet when they see Pan Yi’s face!

It’s worth it just to see the handsome guy!

In the end, Pan Yi and his team members had no choice but to hide in a Chinese restaurant under the cover of the police and enjoy a delicious meal.

"Hey, does this happen to people after they become famous? Is it so difficult to go out for a meal?" Mbappe sighed, and then watched in horror as Pan Yi stuffed a piece of Maoxuewang into his mouth.

Azar smiled and said nothing.

As a "veteran" who has been famous for a long time, Hazard is still very accustomed to such scenes.

Pan Yi swallowed Mao Xuewang and said to Mbappe: "It's easy if you don't want to be famous. After playing in the Club World Cup, you can return to the youth team, and your wish will come true."

Mbappe waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, boss, I am willing to endure this pain, as long as others watch me eat!"

Everyone laughed, and the dinner table was filled with joy.

"As long as we can win seven crowns this season, everyone here will have a hard time not wanting to be famous." At this time, the famous MLM master Arteta took the opportunity to add value to the players again:

"And this Club World Cup is another test on our road to winning seven titles."

"No matter what kind of opponent we face, whether he is from Asia or South America, we must go all out to defeat them!"

"For yourselves and for Chelsea, leave an unforgettable memory for a lifetime!"

Everyone applauded, which made Pan Yi embarrassed to continue eating and applauded along with everyone.
