The fact is that Lippi's invitation to Pan Yi to serve as the technical advisor to the Dragon National Team was always done in a low-key manner.

Even in the coaching team list announced after Lippi officially took over the Dragon State national team, Pan Yi's name was not included.

So I beg you not to mistake Pan Yi’s “specialization”.

He doesn't follow the coaching staff everywhere to inspect the national team players, and he doesn't often attend the coaching staff meetings of the national team. It doesn't seem appropriate to create a "formal establishment" for him.

What Lippi needs is whether Pan Yi can provide advice at critical moments.

Of course, if there is any dissatisfaction among Chinese football fans about the wrong team, it would be best if Pan Yi comes forward to help calm it down.

It is precisely because of this that after Pan Yi agreed to Lippi becoming the team's coach, he has been staying in Europe and has never been to Long Country.

And very few people know about it. The media doesn't know about it, and the fans don't know about it either.

But now, the "critical moment" has arrived.

After the first four rounds, the Long Guo team had 1 draw and 3 losses, with no victory and ranking last in the group. Gao Hongbo took the blame and resigned.

This game at Kunming Tuodong Stadium will also be "Silver Fox" Lippi's first official game for the Dragon Kingdom national team.

The Qatar team narrowly defeated Syria by one goal in the round, and while achieving its first victory in the top 12, it also gave up the bottom position to the Dragons.

It was a direct mismatch between the bottom one and the bottom two, and it was not at home. If it was unwinnable, then it would really be a GG.

Therefore, when the Dragon Kingdom national team players were gathering, Pan Yi also rushed to Dragon Kingdom from the UK.

As soon as he arrived at Kunming Changshui International Airport, Ma Zai was closely watched by the sharp-eyed local media.

Then, as the "Kunming Monthly" published a news headline on the front page titled "Pan Yi made a surprise appearance at the national football training ground", it quickly triggered a heated discussion across the country and even caused a carnival among netizens on the Internet.

After all, in the minds of almost all national football fans, is Pan Yi the only savior to save the national football team?

Although there is no doubt about the level and qualifications of Mr. Lippi, who can compare with Pan Yi now? Not to mention that Pan Yi is not one of our own people in the Dragon Kingdom!

Everyone also knows that shortly after it was officially announced that Lippi was appointed as the head coach of the national football team, it is unlikely that there will be any changes in the position, but the fans were excited by the news.

For no other reason, from Pan Yi being indifferent to the national football team, to helping the national football team, and then going to the training ground in person, that is at least a big progress!

Judging from the photo published on the front page of "Kunming Monthly", the focus is on the handsome Pan Yi, who is standing on the sidelines looking at the Dragon National football team at the training ground.

Next to Pan Yi are the national team's assistant coaches Massimiliano Madaloni and Narciso Pezzotti.

When Lippi signed with the national team, he wasn't the only one signing him.

In order to ensure the smooth development of coaching work, Lippi brought his entire Italian coaching team to the national football team.

This is obviously the same as Pan Yi's idea when he joined the Swedish national team, that is, he has acquaintances to work with, and his execution level can also be guaranteed.

For example, Madaloni, who has been in charge of youth training all year round, is a well-known youth training expert in Italy. He has an innate sense of the potential of young players.

Madaloni understands the team and is good at discovering talents. He worked in the Juventus youth training camp very early. In 2008, he became the coach of the Juventus youth team. In 2009, he served as an assistant to the famous coach Ferrara.

.

In May 2012, Madaloni followed Lippi to join Changzhou Hengtai, and was directly involved in the introduction of Elkeson and Zheng Long.

Madaloni is like Lippi's "Yongxuan". When Lippi is not on the team, he will directly assume the team's training responsibility; if Lippi is unable to attend the press conference, he will not be present as the acting coach.

His figure.

Madaloni is indispensable for Lippi's success in Changzhou Hengtai. The Italian with unique vision and flamboyant personality continues to assist Lippi and participate in every detail of the national football team's work.

Among Lippi's coaching team, Pezzotti is responsible for intelligence collection and provides corresponding strategic suggestions to Lippi through video analysis of wrong-leg tactics.

Since he is away from home all year round and rarely with the team, his exposure rate is not high. The Italian can be said to be Lippi's loyal assistant throughout his entire career. Since Lippi took charge of Juventus in 1994, Pezzotti has

Always by your side.

In 2004, Lippi became the coach of the Italian national team, and Pezzotti naturally became the deputy coach of the national team, and won the 2006 World Cup for the Azzurri.

Now that Lippi has become the head coach of the national football team, he has naturally brought over his old friend who has been with him for 22 years.

In addition to the two of them, there is also an assistant coach Fabrizio De Rosso, two physical coaches Claudio Gaudino, Massimo Waili, and goalkeeper coach Michelangelo Lampula

, including Coty, Castellachi, etc. from the rehabilitation and medical team...

All of them are old members of Lippi's team, and it is generally believed that their rich experience and resume will help them better improve the national football team's competitiveness.

And now, the two most demanding assistant coaches, Madaloni and Pezzotti, are accompanying Pan Yi to watch the players train. What does that mean???

"According to reliable information obtained by reporters from outside sources, Pan Yi's trip has one purpose, which is to help the national football team prepare for the match with Qatar. And according to reliable sources, Pan Yi actually serves as a member of the new national team management team.

I’m looking for a new position.”

"But this position bypasses the appointment process of the Football Association. It is more of Lippi's personal invitation, so it does not belong to the official coaching team of the Football Association. It can be said that Pan Yi's appearance this time is not a success.

Football Association, otherwise it will deny Longguo football and the vast number of Chinese football fans!"

"What is the position in Buyang? What kind of tasks is Pan Yi responsible for? The most important thing is that Pan Yi is finally here!"

The news quickly spread, not only attracting national attention on the Internet, but also media reporters.

Soon, all kinds of news and information were dug up.

Including Lippi, before officially taking over as the head coach of the national football team, he made a special trip to the UK to meet with Pan Yi;

When the national football coaching staff started working later, Pan Yi also held a video conference with Lippi's Italian coaches to discuss some issues;

Pan Yi also participated in the formulation of the latest national football training roster, including the selection of Lin Liangming, who recently performed well in the English League One. Did it come from Pan Yi's suggestion...

Putting all the news together, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:

Pan Yi really joined the national football coaching staff!

Many media mistakenly commented on this, believing that Pan Yi's entry into the national team would undoubtedly be an epoch-making event.

"Although Pan Yi is not the head coach, he can undoubtedly cheer up the hearts of all Dragon Country fans and give a shot in the arm to the demoralized national team players."

"Due to the rejection of Pan Yi by the Football Association over the past few years, an irreparable rift has developed between Pan Yi and the Football Association. His continued refusal of invitations to the national team has become the biggest regret among Chinese football fans."

"But now, he has chosen to cooperate with Lippi's team, which is a way for him to save the country through a curve. He will not be cruel to Dragon Country football, nor will he be cruel to Dragon Country fans!"

"Whether it is from a technical and tactical perspective or from a personal influence, Pan Yi can become the top world-famous coach in football. They believe that he can bring some brand new changes to Long Country football."

"Even if he doesn't give him a leg up, judging from Lippi's trust in him, Pan Yi will definitely play an important role in the national football coaching team. Look at Arteta's Chelsea record after Pan Yi's guidance.

, they have reason to be confident in him."

"Well, they must also take into account that the current environment of the national football team is indeed quite bad. If they make a slight mistake in the next game, they may not even have a theoretical chance to qualify. So they should not be in a situation where the results are

We should not place too much blame on the coaching team, and we should not place unrealistic high hopes on Pan Yi."

"In the past, they always said that the national team needed a famous coach, so they always called on Pan Yi to coach the Dragon Country national team. But now, their calls have been partially realized, Lippi has become the head coach, and Pan Yi

Yi also joined the coaching team. They should give more confidence and patience to that team composed of the world's top coaches!"

Not only foreign media, but many newspapers in Europe also reported such news.

"The Times" stated that Pan Yi really couldn't bear the loneliness and finally asked to participate in front-line coaching work.

"The world's top football coach like Pan Yi should stay in the football field. Although it is not official or the head coach, it is better than staying in the office or traveling around the world, right?"

"It would really be a pity for fans all over the world if we couldn't see Pan Yi's unpredictable tactics on the court."

"Be it Scaloni's York City or Arteta's Chelsea, it's obvious that they can see Pan Yi's Yongxuan behind their excellent results, but this time Pan Yi was faced with a bigger challenge.

A daunting challenge.”

"Pan Yi's tactical ability is undoubted, but the level of Longguo football is not high, and the gap with the European leagues is very obvious. Apart from Lin Liangming and Wu Lei, can other players adapt to Pan Yi's requirements?

, that’s a pretty big question.”

"And now that the Dragon Country team is ranked last in Group A of the World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the possibility of qualifying is very slim. Is he really likely to come back to life?"

"Then again, maybe they should believe him, because he has never been a football coach who can turn bad things into magic!"

And because of such a storm of public opinion, the Dragon Football Association, caught in the middle, seemed a bit embarrassed.

Let me say something. It seems to have nothing to do with me. Pan Yi is Lippi’s personal consultant.

Let's not say anything. Is Pan Yi really here to help the national football team? As the competent authority of the national football team, wouldn't it be too rude to not express welcome?

Maybe the fans will think that the Football Association is squeezing out Pan Yi...

Initially, the official website of the National Football Association issued a statement to the effect that "Mr. Lippi has all the power to coach the coaching team, including hiring technical consultants, etc., and the National Football Association regards him as a member of the national football coaching team."

Become a formal member and provide the greatest support.”

Pan Yi was not mentioned in a word, but Pan Yi was not mentioned in every sentence.

Is this considered a good show by Pan Yi, and can it also give an explanation to fans across the country?

Pan Yi has come to help the national football team regardless of past grudges. The Football Association must have an attitude!

And that "attitude" further confirmed the rumors that Pan Yi entered the national team.

Foreign public opinion simply fell into a carnival. Everyone gave Pan Yi high praise for his move to join the national team. At the same time, they also believed that this was the most correct and most popular decision made by the Chinese Football Association in its history.

As for the national team, fans and public opinion generally treated it rationally.

On the one hand, whether you believe optimistically or not, just give Lippi and Pan Yi time, they will definitely be able to bring a qualitative leap to the national football team and the Long Country football team;
