Chapter 449 The Premier League is over!

After the game, the media's evaluation of Bayern Munich immediately flipped.

Almost everyone and every media outlet is impressed by Bayern Munich's tenacity and resilience.

Because in the two games against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich equalized the score at the last moment!

Especially in this game, at the Bernabeu, under such difficult circumstances, they did not give up at all, let alone collapse. Instead, they were united and fought until the last minute.

Everyone was shocked by Bayern Munich's performance in this game.

At the post-match press conference, Real Madrid head coach Zidane also said helplessly that Bayern Munich's performance was indeed worthy of respect.

"Our players have performed very well and can seize opportunities during the game, but Bayern's players are more resilient."

"I feel very sorry for this result. But there is no way, this is football."

"Real Madrid often reverses its opponents in the Champions League and survives. This reflects the temperament of a team. But it is a pity that such temperament appeared on the opponent today."

"I can only congratulate Guardiola and wish him good luck in the final!"

In Pan Yi's view, this is a failure of Zidane's "metaphysics".

Guardiola, on the other hand, snatched away his "luck"!

In Pan Yi's previous life, Bayern met Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals this season. In the end, the two sides played with a total score of 2:2. Bayern was eliminated due to the disadvantage of away goals.

Imagine if the away goals system had been abolished at that time, what would have happened?

The game between the two sides will definitely change, and even if the score remains unchanged and enters overtime, Bayern, which is more physically dominant, may have a greater advantage.

If Bayern reaches the final, what kind of story will happen between him and Real Madrid, another team that reaches the final?

If Bayern finally wins the championship, what impact will it have on the future of football?

But there are no ifs in history.

In such high-level football matches, it is often just the slightest difference that determines the final result.

But this time, it was Bayern who advanced with the advantage of away goals.

They also entered the Champions League final this season and faced off against Chelsea!

Guardiola also said at the press conference that the players' performance surprised him.

He believes that every one of his players has turned into a fighter. This spirit allowed them to defeat strong opponents on the court and finally reached the Champions League final.

"We ended up in the semi-finals the past two seasons, which makes me feel a little frustrated."

"But today, we finally reached the final. I hope there will be no regrets in the final."

"Yes, our opponent in the final is likely to be the powerful Chelsea, but we don't have any fear."

"As long as we can play with the same spirit as Real Madrid, we will not lose to any opponent, not even Chelsea!"

"Pan Yi? Haha, yes, we are friends. We even agreed very early on that we would meet in the finals this season, and in fact we are about to do it."

"Next, I have to sit down and watch their game... I wish Pan Yi good luck!"

——

The next day, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge and faced the challenge of Atletico Madrid.

The 4:2 win in the first leg away game gave Chelsea a more comfortable start and a steady start.

And it was Chelsea who scored first.

In the 19th minute, Hazard assisted Harry Kane and scored a goal.

But Atletico Madrid successfully equalized the score shortly after the start of the second half, and the scorer was Griezmann.

Chelsea retaliated again ten minutes later. Lukaku received Cancelo's cross and scored a wonderful volley, giving Chelsea the lead again.

In the end, Chelsea defeated Atletico Madrid 2:1 at home, thus successfully eliminating the opponent with a total score of 6:3, and reaching the Champions League final for the second consecutive season!

This battle was mediocre compared to the strategy between Bayern and Real Madrid, but it was even more impressive at the strength of Chelsea.

After all, Bayern only eliminated Real Madrid by relying on more away goals, while Chelsea defeated Atletico Madrid at home and away!

In comparison, Chelsea's path to the finals seemed much easier, and it also demonstrated Chelsea's unprecedented dominance this season.

Everyone said that after winning five championships, and having reached the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League, Pan Yi is getting closer and closer to his seventh crown.

Simeone, who has always kept his sights high, also expressed his congratulations to Pan Yi at the post-match press conference.

"He is an incredible head coach and the most successful head coach currently active."

"This is the fourth time he has reached the Champions League final, and he has done this incredible thing with three teams. I am also looking forward to seeing him win the Champions League championship for the fourth time!"

"I do not deny that I did borrow some of Pan Yi's ideas in my offensive tactics. To be honest, as long as you study it with concentration, you will find that Pan Yi's tactics are so fascinating."

"I believe Guardiola will agree with this. I have long seen that his -1 formation is actually a variant of one of Pan Yi's tactics."

"But it's a pity that I couldn't beat Pan Yi with Pan Yi's improved tactics. So, I doubt Guardiola can either."

"No matter what, I still hope to see a peak showdown in the final!"

At the end, Simeone said with a smile: "When I first started coaching, it was in 2006. I was 36 years old at the time, and people called me Young Marshal."

"It's been 10 years now. I'm 46 years old and I still belong to the ranks of young marshals."

"But I won't allow you to call me Young Marshal anymore. Look at Pan Yi, he's not even 30 years old yet!"

"Perhaps my coaching performance is pretty good. After all, I have won the La Liga championship, the King's Cup championship, and the UEFA Cup championship. But compared with Pan Yi... I can't even win."

"Pan Yi gives me a wonderful feeling. I was a little jealous of him before, but now I admire him more."

"He really doesn't look like a person of our era. Tactically and in terms of looking at players, he has a very unique forward-looking approach. I think this is what makes him most unique."

"He is always leading the trends and trends in football. And I can also see from the changes in his tactics that he has been exploring and thinking, always improving and changing, which is also a rare quality."

"But the most terrifying thing is that he is really only 30 years old! It's hard to imagine what heights he can reach."

"Now I have to think about whether I should change careers. At least as long as Pan Yi is still in professional football, I don't seem to see the chance to win the Champions League..."

When he said this, Simone couldn't help laughing.

The entire press conference room also laughed.

But everyone felt that behind the laughter, there was still some sadness and helplessness.

This is actually the sentiment of many coaches of the same era.

Since they are born, how can Yi be born!

——

Pan Yi got up from the bed and stood on the floor.

He walked over the shoes, clothes, and pants scattered on the floor and walked to the window.

It's already dawn.

The beautiful morning sun in Yorkshire shone through the window into the room, making Pan Yi's exposed skin feel warm.

Pan Yi turned around and looked at the bed.

Valentina was lying there in an extremely seductive posture, with the quilt slightly covering her abdomen.

As if feeling Pan Yi's eyes, Valentina's eyes also opened, and then she showed a sweet smile to Pan Yi:

"You're awake. Did you sleep well?"

"It's good." Pan Yi returned the smile, "I'm just a little tired. The battle last night was too intense."

Valentina spat, turned over and closed her eyes, pretending to continue sleeping.

Pan Yi smiled and turned on the TV.

After playing the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, Pan Yi suddenly became much more relaxed, at least recently.

Since the FA Cup final is on May 22 and the Champions League final is a week later on May 28, it is still early.

The Premier League that will be played during this period is no longer important to Chelsea.

Therefore, Pan Yi also took time to go to Yorkshire to meet Valentina and play several "China-Italy friendly matches."

As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage.

Therefore, these "friendly matches" were quite intense and quite tiring.

At this time, local news appeared on the TV screen:

"The latest news from our reporter from Yorkshire."

"York City, the dark horse club in English League Two this season, held a signing ceremony yesterday morning. York City officially signed two sponsorship contracts with a Western Siberian company from Russia."

"It is reported that the two sponsorship contracts are York City's stadium title sponsorship and jersey chest advertising sponsorship. The specific sponsorship amount has not been disclosed."

"These sponsorship contracts will officially come into effect next season. Due to York City's outstanding performance in League Two this season, they will appear in League One next season."

"Currently, 44 rounds of English League Two have been played. York City is ranked second in the standings with 87 points. Since they are 7 points ahead of fourth-placed Oxford United, they have secured the top three in the league. They can definitely do it.

Promotion to League One.”

"But even so, York City's ability to win the favor of the West Siberian company is definitely not just because of their performance. Otherwise, why don't the Russians sponsor Northampton, which is ranked first?"

"The West Siberian Company is part of the Evraz Group, which is one of the largest steel production and mining companies in Russia. In 2006, its total assets reached more than 7.3 billion US dollars."

"The largest shareholder of the Evraz Group is none other than Chelsea's owner, Abramovich... And the owner of York City? He is Chelsea's current head coach, Pan Yi."
