The evening of January 11th, London.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea faced the challenge of Newcastle United.

At this time, Newcastle had just experienced a coaching change.

Their original head coach Alan Pardew finally accepted the invitation from his old club Crystal Palace to become a firefighting coach to help avoid relegation.

Under the leadership of Alan Pardew, it is actually quite difficult for Newcastle, which does not have much strength, to remain in the top ten after playing 20 rounds.

After his departure, Newcastle could not find a suitable head coach to replace him for a while, so they could only ask his assistant John Carver to serve as the interim head coach to fill the vacancy after the former coach left.

The opponent changes coach before the game, which is good for Chelsea.

However, the weather in London today is extremely cold, with rain and snow.

The cold icy rain patted my face randomly...

The impact of this weather on the competition is that a lot of snow can be seen on the grass, making the venue very slippery.

The original left wing-back Marcos Alonsoone took over the defensive midfielder position and formed a double defensive midfielder position with Kante;

In front of them, there are four attackers: Hazard, B seat, Gnabry and Lingard, supporting the front center Lukaku.

Krul wanted to pass a long pass to Sissoko in front but was intercepted by Chelsea central defender Gary Cahill, and then the ball went to the feet of Marcos Alonso.

After several consecutive passing errors, Newcastle goalkeeper Krul began to be wary of Chelsea's high pressure, and was forced to often pass the ball with long kicks.

Players are just passing by, and sometimes they don't even realize it yet, and they may pack up and run away the next day. How can they build a team that "belongs to them"?

Of course, as to why Lingard passed the ball and Gnabry shot, this was not arranged by Pan Yi and could not be so detailed.

"Of course, we should also see that at the critical moment when the situation has been delayed, Pan Yi's substitution once again produced a magical effect."

In addition to this game in this round of the Premier League, Liverpool also defeated Sunderland 1:0 away from home, and Arsenal defeated Stoke City 3:0.

But considering that the points from 21st to 23rd are all 27 and 26, York City is actually only 1 point away from falling into the relegation zone.

However, this is actually the norm for teams at this stage.

This is very detrimental to Chelsea, which advocates a possession-based style of play.

From the long pass in the backcourt, to the gap between the midfielders in the midfield, to the lack of tacit understanding of the positioning of the center back and full back in the backcourt, it finally led to this free kick.

This also gave Chelsea a perfect free kick in front of the penalty area.

It's a pity that this time, Lukaku's shot was saved by the brave Dutch goalkeeper Krul, and he missed the opportunity.

They are probably mid-table, while York City have been fighting for relegation.

Moreover, teams located in the fourth and fifth tiers have relatively poor stadium facilities and youth training systems, and it is difficult to really improve their scores by cultivating their own young players.

Strict tactical discipline + appropriate freedom can allow players to perform at their best on the court.

From a scene in the 74th minute, we can see the intensity and results of Chelsea's pressure.

However, for Pan Yi and Chelsea now, the records of these so-called strong teams seem to have little to do with them.

After a while, Kanter even rushed to the front line, level with Lukaku, maintaining pressure on Newcastle's two central defenders.

"It can be seen from these two games that Lingard is very adaptable to Chelsea's tactical system. He can bring out his characteristics and contribute to the team every time he plays."

Sometimes there will be twenty or thirty new players coming in and out in a summer, and the integration alone is a big problem.

In short, such strong pressure and flexible movement made Newcastle United players a little breathless.

"These two young players are really good!" Scaloni praised with a smile after high-fiving Pan Yi, "There is quite a chemistry between them."

It is at this time that "precipitation" makes sense.

After the goal, Chelsea found the rhythm of the game and suppressed Newcastle even more.

Manchester City was held to a 1:1 draw by Everton in the away game. Fernandinho and Naismith made contributions to both teams respectively.

York City plays Oxford United at home.

They are almost completely free. During the game, everyone may drop back to link up and connect, and everyone may suddenly rush to the front to form a double forward or even a three forward with Lukaku.

But now it seems that the three new players have integrated into the team very quickly, and they have begun to show their value.

Coloccini was a bit reckless when he turned around and then grabbed Lingard. He tripped Lingard and committed a foul!

The impact on Newcastle's side will be smaller.

The players on the field were celebrating, and Pan Yi also loudly applauded Gnabry's goal on the sidelines, and also gave Lingard his thumbs up for assisting.

Strictly speaking, Lingard's scoring ability is not strong, but he still plays a very good tactical role in Chelsea's tactical system.

For example, York City's current main goalkeeper Oleinik is on loan from Peterborough United in the English League One, while midfielder Holiday and defender Zuba are on loan from Middlesbrough and Bournemouth in the English Championship respectively.

This is how the players perform on the court.

"In the 67th minute, Chelsea finally broke through Newcastle United's goal!"

But after changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Pan Yi quickly made substitution adjustments.

Crystal Palace, who had new coach Alan Pardew, made an immediate impact, defeating Tottenham 2:1 at home.

And this goal just now is a manifestation of their respective characteristics.

This is not just a change in formation.

Ten minutes after the substitution, Chelsea exerted a lot of pressure on Newcastle United's backcourt.

In the specific implementation process, sometimes they will deliberately show weakness in local areas to lure the enemy in and then counterattack.

As long as he obeys you, no matter what kind of tasks you assign him or what role you ask him to play, he can handle it for you properly.

"Several consecutive outstanding performances have proved that Gnabry is really a new star with unlimited potential. Should we say that Wenger made a mistake or not? After all, if it weren't for Wenger, Gnabry would have

Won’t come to the Premier League..."

"Some people may still question that Pan Yi cannot bear the title of the world's number one coach, but no one will deny that he is definitely the most imaginative and capable coach in the world!"

"Moreover, his whole life can always bring victory to the team! Perhaps, the sky is his limit..."

Just like what Wilcox said just now, I want to play a Chelsea-style 343, but you suddenly have several players who only play as attacking midfielders, so I still want to play a woolly 343?

"By the way, what do you think of your boss?" Pan Yi pretended to ask casually.

Many celebrities and commentators even believe that Marcos Alonso is Chelsea's best player so far this season!

His performance is even better than the top scorer Lukaku and the top assists Hazard.

Because then you have a certain amount of capital to cultivate Xiaoyao, train new players, or sign some capable players.

Pan Yi said: "There is no way, the whole world is short of money."

There are also many people who believe that Chelsea's "failed" winter window will weaken the team's strength, leading to a decline in record.

The same would be true if they were demoted from English League Two.

This is also a microcosm of the very flexible and changeable playing style of Chelsea under Pan Yi.

But Chelsea's three central defenders intercepted the ball easily.

The only thing that deserves caution is that Manchester City did not win this round, which extended Chelsea's advantage in the standings by two points.

English League Two is a professional league, and the next-level National League is amateur in nature, which leads to a natural dividing line between them.

Moreover, the weather is too cold, which also causes the players' bodies to be unable to warm up and to get up.

Of course Wilcox knew Pan Yi, the Chelsea coach, not to mention that they had faced each other head-on once!

However, after they defeated Chelsea in that game, they were eliminated from the League Cup in the next round by Liverpool.

In the current York City team, those who can stay on the team for two to three years are considered "merited veterans."

With the cheers and cheers of the home fans, Chelsea was not satisfied with taking a one-goal lead, but kept attacking.

It is worth mentioning that after Southampton lost to Chelsea, they faced strong opponents in the next two consecutive games, and actually won two consecutive games!

In the process of scoring this goal, Lukaku, including Hazard, and Seat B did not touch the ball, but they also played an important role.

When Chelsea pressed in the frontcourt, Alonso and Kante were positioned very forward, following the opponent's center back. The Blues now formed a 7-man frontcourt position.

Wilcox shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But, who doesn't want to have a team that truly 'belongs to them'?"

It can be seen that Marcos Alonso's initiative to take the ball and control the ball play an important role in Chelsea's midfield this season. It can be said that he is a key part of the Blues' organization from the backcourt to the front.

Pan Yi nodded slightly.

Pan Yi nodded. Who said it wasn't?

Chelsea's formation also changed into a relatively abnormal 3-2-4-1.

Wilcox nodded and suddenly looked at Pan Yi curiously, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Chelsea also seized the opportunity of this free kick.

"And at this time...it hasn't even entered the 70-minute Pan Yi time!"

This two-game winning streak also allowed them to replace Manchester United's position and rise to third place in the standings.

So, what should I do if I really can’t sign anyone?

That's renting.

Those semi-professional players who play in the National League are no longer applicable after they are promoted to League Two and must be re-signed.

As for the specific positions of these four attackers?

There is no specific location.

The combination of these factors led to Chelsea's performance in this game not being very good, and there were many mistakes among the players.

In the 21st round, there is already a huge gap of 14 points between the first place and the second place!

This was also the goal that sealed the victory.

"There's too much turnover," Wilcox complained when he came up.

He also understood Wilcox's difficulties.
