Chapter 331 Heavy Rain and Vegetable Fields Can Stop Chelsea
For this Jason McGill, Pan Yi still knew something when he was a fan in his previous life.
I mainly watched the video of the FM anchor, and after I used York City in the game, I gradually became curious about the team owner and chairman, so I checked his information.
Jason McGill can be said to be a diehard fan of York City.
In the early days when he was not a member of the club, he donated $50000 to the club when the club was facing financial difficulties.
In 2003, after the Supporters Trust took over the club, he joined York City as a director.
Later, his company invested a large sum of money in the club, and in exchange for a majority stake, he became the owner of York City, which was the 2008-2009 season.
It was under his power that York City was able to get rid of the fifth tier league and return to the second league.
But the fourth level seems to be only one level away from the fifth level, but in fact there is a big difference.
Because this is the dividing line between amateur and professional clubs!
The competition between teams has become more intense, and the club's operating costs have also risen sharply, which makes Jason McGill also feel the pressure.
In fact, in the real timeline, York City's excellent performance in the past two seasons was just a flash in the pan.
Without sufficient financial support, they could only finish bottom of the League Two next season, and finally returned to the fifth division.
And it's not over yet.
The following season, the 2016-2017 season, York City was relegated again in the fifth tier of the National League and fell into the sixth tier of the North-South League.
Completed two consecutive drops in two years!
After that, they stayed in the North-South League for a few years, and did not return to the National League, which is the fifth level, until the 2021-2022 season.
And no matter how York's ups and downs in these leagues, Jason McGill has always been the owner of the team and has never thought of selling it.
Absolutely true love!
And at this time, when he came to Pan Yi, it was obvious that he had sensed the coming crisis in the future and wanted to find a strong support.
But why Pan Yi?
First of all, of course, because he is rich.
The valuation of a League Two team is basically a few million euros. Except for the very rich or poor, the price is almost the same.
As for Pan Yi, the most valuable football coach in the world, it is definitely not a big problem if he spends 200 million yuan to invest in individual stocks, or even buys them outright.
But there are too many people in the world who can spend 200 million yuan, why is it still Pan Yi?
Mainly because he is the most powerful head coach in the world now!
Of course, Jason McGill would not expect that Pan Yi will come to York City to coach in person, but as long as Pan Yi can guide one or two as a shareholder or owner, the entire York City team will benefit a lot.
In addition, Pan Yi has always been famous for discovering and cultivating young talents. If he can help the team with some little monsters, or even just borrow some children from Pan Yi's team who can't play football, York City will also Just sent it.
Finally, and most importantly, Jason McGill has observed Pan Yi for a while, and he feels that this young coach of Longguo really loves football.
Of course, Jason McGill has contacted some buyers before, but most of them just regard the club as a tool to make money.
Even if some owners don't want to make money directly from the club itself, they still want to expand the influence of their products in the local area through the club, and even obtain some regional protection policies.
Turned a corner and ultimately wanted to make money.
As a diehard fan of York City, Jason McGill naturally didn't want the team to fall into the hands of such a person.
If this really happens, after a few years, after the value of the club is drained, York City will be changed hands again, and then changed hands again, and it is not known what will become of it in the end.
Therefore, Jason McGill felt that if a football-loving professional coach like Pan Yi bought York City, he would treat the club like his own children, and would not think about how to suck blood all day long
— as Jason McGill is doing with the club now.
Of course, there are many football-loving and excellent head coaches in this world, and it is impossible for Jason McGill to contact all of them.
Didn't it just happen that York City drew Chelsea in the League Cup? Taking advantage of Chelsea's visit here, he came to chat with Pan Yi.
"How? Mr. Pan Yi? What do you think of my proposal?" After Jason McGill told Pan Yi his thoughts, he looked at the young man in front of him with a smile:
"You can choose to buy it with full capital and ask me, an old man, to continue to help you manage your daily affairs, or you can buy a part of it to become a major shareholder and become the owner of York City."
Although today is only the first time meeting with the most expensive coach in the world, Jason McGill always feels a little cordial.
Perhaps, this is a mysterious connection between people who love football?
"This..." Pan Yi hesitated.
Of course, Pan Yi had thought about buying a club and becoming his own boss.
Otherwise, why is he hoarding so many bitcoins?
It's better to be a boss than to be a worker all the time!
In this way, whether it is buying or selling players or hoarding demons, they are all making money for themselves, wouldn't it be wonderful?
But now the timing seems a bit wrong, a little too early.
I haven't really won enough honors in Chelsea to truly dominate the world!
What's more, York City is only a League Two team. Is this starting point too low?
In addition, whether it is the field, training facilities, youth training facilities, including the staff up and down in the club, the overall level is relatively low.
It's a bit like joining a small club when playing FM games. If you want to become bigger and stronger, you need to gradually update and transform every aspect.
Probably the biggest benefit is that it's... cheap.
Not to mention one or two million, even if it is 200 million or 500 million, Pan Yi can afford it now.
But if it is a Premier League team with a valuation of hundreds of millions or billions, it is still difficult for Pan Yi.
After all, the price of Bitcoin will not have an explosive growth until 2017, and then he can only get a few hundred million euros.
Therefore, Pan Yi wants to get a team in the League One or the Championship, and then slowly get it up. This is also a sense of accomplishment!
But in short, Pan Yi really didn't seriously think about buying the club. He is still devoting himself to Chelsea's schedule.
So Jason McGill suddenly asked, and of course Pan Yi couldn't come back.
"It won't delay your work." Jason McGill smiled again, "As long as you become a shareholder, you can be a shopkeeper. As long as you don't dislike us, we are just a second-tier team..."
Jason McGill just wants to hug Pan Yi's thigh tightly now!
In fact, his requirements are not high, as long as York City can maintain the status quo and stay in League Two.
After all, they have played in the fifth tier league for a long time before, and it is a great improvement to stay in the second division!
"I think you guys are playing well. You see, you have already won against my Premier League team." Pan Yi pointed to the York City players and fans who were carnival in the field.
Looking at these extremely excited people, Pan Yi even had the illusion that his loss today was still... worth it?
After all, if Chelsea won a League Cup, neither the club nor the fans would think it was a big deal.
But when York City won, that was different.
It feels like winning the Champions League and making the whole city excited!
"Cough, you and I both know that today's game is... quite unexpected." Jason McGill said a little embarrassedly, "I know, our venue is too old, too old, and the drainage system has always had problems ...but it's also true that there hasn't been enough money to renovate, or even build a new stadium..."
He also knew in his heart that today's field situation, even if it is the world's all-star team, even if Messi and Ronaldo are present together, it will not work!
It was completely a game of luck, and even a team like theirs, which relied on their bodies to hit the hard top, had an advantage.
And Chelsea played very well. They still maintained patience and tenacity when they fell behind in such a harsh environment, and finally equalized the score before the end of the game.
"Well, let's leave a contact information, and I'll think about it when I go back." Pan Yi smiled and said to Jason McGill, "You can't let me come here to play a game, and then suddenly bought a club Have you gone back?"
"I'm sure, of course, I'm not asking you to make a decision on the spot." Jason McGill couldn't help but smile when he saw a bit of drama, "If you have an idea, you can contact me immediately, and we will discuss specific matters!"
"Okay, that's it. Thank you for your love to me. Goodbye. I have to teach my little bastards a lesson!" Pan Yi rushed to Jason McGill and walked towards the player tunnel.
He really needs time to think about it slowly.
Not in a hurry anyway.
At least this York City will not be relegated until next season...
-
This is the fourth round of the League Cup with York City, which is the last game in October.
After the game, the Premier League officially announced the best of October.
Not surprisingly, Pan Yi once again won the title of best coach of the month.
Although Southampton's head coach Ronald Koeman performed very well, such as a masterpiece such as an 8:0 victory over Sunderland, he is still a bit worse than Pan Yibi.
In the Premier League games in October, Chelsea continued to maintain a record of unbeaten victories against strong teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United. This is the capital for him to win the award.
Winning against a strong team is different from scoring points against a weak team!
Although there are some people who use Chelsea's loss in the League Cup as an example, the Premier League is the Premier League, and the League Cup is the League Cup. These are two different things;
Secondly, as long as anyone has watched the League Cup game, they will know why Chelsea lost.
Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he may not necessarily win!
And after the best coach of October was obtained, Pan Yi also became the first head coach in the history of the Premier League to achieve the best monthly three consecutive villages.
At the same time, he is also the coach who has won the most coaches of the month in his first season of coaching in the Premier League!
Such achievements naturally aroused the praise of the entire Premier League and even the media around the world.
And this month's player of the month does not belong to Hazard.
But the best player is still from Chelsea.
This time it's Lukaku!
The Belgian heavy tank scored a hat-trick against Arsenal in October, followed by a pass against Crystal Palace and a brace against Manchester United.
Such a hot state also allowed him to beat Hazard, Pellet and others, and finally won the best of the month!
When receiving the award, Lukaku also dedicated the award to Pan Yi.
"Under the guidance of the boss, I really understand how to play as a center forward. I am really grateful to him. Without him, I would not be the best player of the month!"
After Pan Yi and Lukaku both won the best of the month, Chelsea sat at home and ushered in the challenge of Queens Park Rangers.
Although this team, generally referred to as "QPR", also has famous players like Wright Phillips, its overall strength is still lackluster.
On a silky venue like Stamford Bridge, Chelsea gave full play to their advantages in possession and coordination, and beat their opponents 3-0.
Lukaku played bravely again, scoring two goals in a row, and the third goal was scored by Matic from a long distance.
As a result, Chelsea also completed the ten-game winning streak at the start of the Premier League, breaking the original record of nine consecutive victories!
It's just that the media didn't do much publicity about it, because many people now think that this record is far from the end of the current Chelsea team...
And everyone's focus in this round of competition is more on the world-renowned Manchester Derby.
Manchester City sits at home at the Etihad Stadium to usher in the challenge of Manchester United, and the final result is reasonable.
With Aguero's only goal of the game in the 63rd minute, Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0.
And Aguero's state is brave, but compared with Chelsea's Lukaku, it is still a bit worse.
After ten rounds in the Premier League, Lukaku topped the scorer list with 11 goals!
Behind him are some famous players. In addition to Aguero, there are Harry Kane, Sanchez, Giroud...and of course Hazard.
This would have been unimaginable a season ago.
You know, Lukaku, who was on loan at Everton at the time, performed very well, but after the end of the season, he scored 15 goals and ranked ninth in the entire scorer list.
But now, after only ten rounds, Lukaku has already scored 11 goals!
Averaging more than one goal per game also makes Lukaku the most powerful contender for the Premier League's top scorer this season.
After all, Liverpool striker Suarez, who had a phenomenal performance last season, only scored 38 goals in 31 rounds, and this is already the most impressive statistic in recent years.
Starting from No.2, there are only data like 22 goals and 20 goals.
In fact, under normal circumstances, scoring more than 20 goals has a good chance of winning the Premier League Golden Boot.
In other words, Lukaku has almost completed half of the indicators now...
-
After playing QPR in the Premier League, Chelsea traveled non-stop to Italy, away to Roma.
This is the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, and it is also the second consecutive game against Roma.
Due to the obvious points advantage in this group, and only two days after this game, Chelsea will go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool again, so Pan Yi still carried out a large-scale rotation in this game.
Otherwise, playing two games in three days, even the donkeys of the production team can't stand it!
It's just that this lineup dominated by young players stunned Roma when they came up.
The game entered Chelsea's rhythm from the very beginning.
Less than 1 minute into the game, Bamford got a very good scoring opportunity in the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Cancelo at the front of the penalty area, he volleyed with his right foot sideways and was caught by Roma goalkeeper Skoporus. Ji Fei jumped on him.
The Roma team was still in shock, and Chelsea launched an attack from the left again, but Schurrle's final cross was too close to the goal and was directly confiscated by Skopluski.
The real turning point happened in the 7th minute.
Cheek in the midfield dribbled the ball and passed it to Bamford at the front of the penalty area.
Bamford decisively dribbled the ball forward, but was tripped by opposing defender Manolas at the front of the penalty area. The latter received the first yellow card of the game, and Chelsea also won a direct free kick.
In the end, Ivanovic pierced Skopluski's goal with a powerful direct free kick, opening the scoring for Chelsea, 0:1!
With the ball in hand, Chelsea began to play more steadily, while Roma counterattacked aggressively.
But Chelsea was very patient and kept looking for Roma's flaws while stabilizing the defense.
In the 34th minute, it was Cheek again who sent a through pass in the middle. Bamford succeeded in countering offside and calmly shot.
Chelsea lead 2-0 away!
Roma, who originally wanted to take advantage of the home court to score points against Chelsea, showed their anxious mentality after falling behind by two goals, and their actions on the court became bigger.
De Rossi, Destro, Florenzi and others all received yellow cards one after another, but today the referee's control was not bad, and it did not cause more disputes.
In the second half, Roma were more impatient, and in the 74th minute Chelsea seized another chance to fight back.
After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Ake launched a long-distance pass with his left foot. The right winger William drove straight in. Breaking through Skopluski's goal, also rewritten the score to 0:3!
This is also the final score of the game.
This can be regarded as a somewhat surprising score.
After all, Roma played well against Chelsea in the away game, and even had the possibility of winning, and the final loss was also 1:3.
But at home, when facing Chelsea's rotation lineup, facing this lineup that once lost to a League Two team in the League Cup, it was also the time when Roma wanted to make a difference, but they were beaten head and face. 0:3, it is a bit difficult for them to accept.
No way, football is like this.
Sometimes you feel that you are not good enough, but you can do it instead;
But sometimes you think you can do it, but you really can't...
The result of this game also confirmed once again that Chelsea's loss to York City was a complete accident.
The Italian media thought more.
They believe that this is also a complete defeat for Italian football against other European football powers.
"Italian football is coming to an end!"
Various Italian media the next day expressed such disappointment.
Because it wasn't just Roma who suffered such a crushing defeat against Chelsea.
In Group A, Juventus, the current leader of Italian football, lost consecutively to Atletico Madrid in the same group, and even lost to Olympiacos in Greece, only defeating the Swedish underdog Malmo.
Although there is still hope of qualifying, there is obviously no convincing performance, let alone a championship appearance.
and then?
No then.
Because there are no other teams.
The only two teams that can participate in the Champions League group stage this season are Juventus and Roma.
In other words, they are already representatives of all Italian teams!
But their performance in the face of strong enemies is indeed disappointing.
Roma, in particular, seemed to be in good form in the away game, and people had high hopes, but after the game against Chelsea, all Italians saw the strength between their own team and the top teams in other leagues gap.
Lost three goals at home, which made everyone clearly feel Chelsea's strong attacking power.
In the game, if it weren't for goalkeeper Skopluski's very brave performance, the score would only get bigger.
"Corriere dello Sport" also described this game as a huge disaster.
"Roma didn't just lose a game, it lost the hopes of Italian football. It made it clear to all of us that the Champions League seemed to have no place for us."
"In Serie A, Juventus and Roma are the strongest teams in these two seasons, and the championship competition this season is still between the two. However, in front of Chelsea, Roma has completely exposed its strength. Weaknesses in offense and defense, as if the two teams were not on the same level at all."
"This is really hopeless. From a large number of stars leaving a few years ago, to now being hammered in the European arena, Italian football really cannot regain its strength and return to the glory of the 90s and the beginning of this century..."
There are also many Italian media pointing the finger at Roma coach Rudy Garcia.
They all believe that in this game, there are serious problems with Rudy Garcia's formation.
He miscalculated the strength of Chelsea's rotation, thinking that he could swallow the opponent at home.
But after conceding the goal in less than 10 minutes, the team became passive and counterattacked too hard, but was seized by Chelsea.
"Rudy Garcia's on-the-spot command is also a mess, and he can't reverse even the slightest disadvantage. On this point, he still needs to learn more from the young Pan Yi..."
While the Italian media is immersed in reflection and grief, the British media is much happier.
There is nothing better than beating rival teams like Italy, Germany, France!
Therefore, they also reported the game at length, and printed the score of 0:3 in a particularly large size, which is particularly eye-catching.
After all, Chelsea won this group match heartily, no matter the process or the result, they are impeccable, and they still use a rotation lineup!
This made the Italians even more speechless.
A few days ago, the suspicion caused by the loss to York City in the League Cup was also covered up in the vast sea of praising Pan Yi and praising Chelsea.
"Chelsea blue storm hits Rome!"
"Chelsea book group first!"
"Chelsea captured Rome twice in a short period of time, which even King Aralle I couldn't do!"
Of course, in front of such a strong Chelsea, their opponent Liverpool in the next game will naturally become the focus.
After all, the topic that is often discussed in major media and fan websites is:
"Who on earth can really stop Chelsea's progress? Except the pouring rain and the vegetable fields."
"Obviously, even if you're a Ferrari, you can't outrun a shitty SUV in the mud."
"Especially Chelsea is really a car..."
"And when the car is back on the right, normal track, there's nothing stopping him!"
However, Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers also expressed his attitude in an interview with reporters:
"Although you may not believe what I say now, I still want to say that any team that comes to Anfield will not easily take away three points from us."
"Instead we will try to get the three points on Chelsea."
"I know, it's difficult, the current Chelsea team is really strong. But I can't wait to meet them."
"Yes, we just lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage, but that doesn't mean anything."
"With such a tight schedule, anything can happen."
"So, let's see the truth at Anfield in two days' time!"
