In the FA Cup match against Bournemouth, Pan Yi still made major personnel adjustments in the lineup.

Forwards: Gnabry, Bamford, Lingard.

Midfielder: Cancelo, Loftus-Cheek, Ramires, Ivanovic.

Defenders: Ake, Christensen, Zouma.

Goalkeeper:Martinez.

On the one hand, this is due to Pan Yi's original positioning of the FA Cup this season: strive to win, and at the same time train new players;

On the other hand, it’s because after this game, Chelsea will face the battle with Manchester City in the Premier League!

Although Chelsea currently has an obvious advantage in the standings, this direct confrontation between first and second is still very important. Pan Yi doesn't want any surprises to happen!

So some important players should take more rest if they can.

"Pan Yi's Chelsea formation today is quite satisfactory. It is their most commonly used 3-4-3 formation this season, not some weird 514, or 163 with four wing backs, 3331 without wing back, etc..."

"It can be said that Pan Yi really has quite a lot of ammunition in his tactical arsenal. He can arrange different tactics according to different opponents and different player lineups."

"It's just today that he may have thought that against an opponent like Bournemouth, conventional weapons could solve the problem, so we saw the familiar 3-4-3."

"Of course, today's game is also interesting. In the previous games, Lingard has appeared in the attacking midfielder position, or he will often move to the attacking midfielder position during the game;"

"Judging from his opening position today, he should be fixed at the right winger position. Can he adapt to this position in this formation? This may be a new test for him."<

/p>

"And we can also see that Bournemouth still uses the 4-4-2 formation that they are best at. Eddie Howe formed a barrier composed of Ritchie, Suman, Arter and Pugh in the midfield.

On the front line is the high-speed combination of Wilson and Komogat."

"In today's showdown, Pan Yi is certainly a world-class coach, and Eddie Howe's experience in leading Bournemouth to consecutive promotions is legendary, and his tactical attainments are also quite outstanding."

"Now, let's see what kind of tactics they will use after the opening!"

Pan Yi did not choose to attack in the opening game.

Whether it was the two wingers Gnabry and Lingard, or the wing backs Cancelo and Ivanovic, they pressed forward without even coming up.

On the contrary, Bournemouth played more actively.

They took the initiative amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans, showing a bit of aggressiveness.

The two full-backs, Richie and Pugh, actively pushed forward and cooperated with the two forwards to constantly harass Chelsea on the wing. This also played a certain role in curbing Chelsea's wing attack.

Within three minutes of the opening, Bournemouth created two corner kick opportunities, but their corner kicks were cleared by Christensen and Zouma respectively, posing no substantial threat.

However, judging from Bournemouth's aggressive opening, Pan Yi's defensive strategy at the beginning was right.

Eddie Howe really has two brushes.

He should have noticed that almost all teams will retreat to defense when they see Chelsea, so Chelsea should be more relaxed when dealing with a British Championship team;

So Bournemouth did the opposite and attacked Chelsea twice at the beginning, maybe it would have a miraculous effect.

But obviously, Pan Yi has more brushes.

He predicted Eddie Howe's prediction!

This also made Bournemouth's early attack futile.

After Bournemouth's two corner kicks, Chelsea took advantage of their personal abilities and launched an attack from the right.

During the back-and-forth play in the midfield, Chelsea spotted the opportunity. Christensen sent a long diagonal pass and passed the ball directly to the space behind the opponent's full-back after assisting.

Lingard moved forward quickly, but his dribble was unsuccessful and the ball was blocked out of bounds by central defender Cook who returned to defend.

Chelsea received a throw-in from the right side of the penalty area.

Before the Bournemouth defenders could react, Lingard quickly threw the ball in to Loftus-Cheek, who ran over to receive it.

Chik didn't stop the ball and passed it directly back to Ramirez.

Ramirez was pressed by the opponent's forward Wilson, and then passed the ball to Cancelo on the side.

Cancelo then passed it to Bamford, who was retreating in the middle. The latter touched the ball and passed it to Lingard.

Most of the coordination here is one touch, which reflects Chelsea's simple and fast way of playing.

It’s just that Bournemouth under Eddie Howe is also well-trained, and their defense is also well organized.

In the short period of time Chelsea was passing back and forth, the entire right side of Bournemouth's penalty area was already filled with defensive players, and both center backs and fullbacks were already in position.

Lingard carried the ball and was double-teamed by the opponent's central defender Cook and full-back Daniels. He stopped trying to rush into the penalty area and immediately passed the ball to Gnabry who was outflanking him on the other side.

After Gnabry stopped the ball, he immediately turned around and cut towards the baseline, attracting all three Bournemouth defenders to double-team him.

But Gnabry, a talented artist, was bold and protected the ball, and then sent a diagonal pass through the gaps between multiple defensive players to the feet of Bamford in the penalty area.<

/p>

At this time, Lingard, who was just outside the penalty area, had already rushed into the penalty area from behind the defender on the other side of Bournemouth.

Lingard's movement without the ball has always been very good.

Not to mention how keen his sense of smell is, at least he will fight for every opportunity and is willing to run.

At this time, Bournemouth's center back Cook stood between Bamford and the goal. Midfielder Art also returned to defend the penalty area in time. When Bamford received the ball, he ran to his right.

, trying to cut him off from his peripheral teammates.

Unexpectedly, when Bamford faced Gnabry's pass, he sent the ball directly with his left foot to the outside of the right corner of the small penalty area.

At this time, the audience saw Lingard rushing into the penalty area, catching up with Bamford's pass, facing goalkeeper Boruc, and volleyed directly into the near corner with his right foot!

Boruc fell to the ground to save, but it was too late and the ball quickly went into the goal.

0:1!

"goalllllllllllllllllllll!

”

"Less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored first!"

"This is really a wonderful team effort!"

"Bournemouth's defense was already quite well organized, but Chelsea relied on the players' personal abilities and technical skills, as well as their skillful passing and receiving coordination, to penetrate Bournemouth in a small area on the right wing.

Sri Lanka’s defense.”

"From Lingard, to Gnabry, to Bamford, and finally to Lingard... Chelsea's frontcourt trident played a very delicate teamwork, which is really wonderful!"

"We can also see from this that the two young players Gnabry and Lingard have fully integrated into Chelsea's tactical system. They are now playing like a duck to water on the court."

The live broadcast camera repeated the entire process of cooperation and scoring again and again, and Pan Yi, who was in the stadium, also shook his fist at the players, cheered, and shouted encouragement.

------------------

After conceding the goal, Bournemouth's offense became even stronger.

Amid the applause and encouragement of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack on Chelsea. The full-backs and midfielders on the two wings were particularly active.

This is also an important point in Eddie Howe's tactics, which is to use the two wings to fully support the frontcourt.

Once the attack in the center is blocked, the wingers will not hesitate to fight all the way to create opportunities for free kicks or corner kicks, and then use carefully designed set-piece tactics to find goals.

From Chelsea's goal to the 20th minute, in just 10 minutes, Bournemouth did create four corner kicks, which also shows how powerful their offense is.

But the problem is that Pan Yi has carefully studied Eddie Howe's corner kick tactics before the game, whether it is a normal direct serve with rotation into the goal, or a "long pass to the middle to outflank" offensive tactics, "close point cover in the middle"

The tactics of "outflanking" and "short passing and outflanking in the middle" tactics are all handled by Chelsea with ease.

Even in the last time, Bournemouth used the method of taking the corner kick to the arc of the penalty area, and then midfielder Suter volleyed directly.

But the Chelsea players were very focused, and this corner kick attack was resolved by Ake's timely step forward to block it.

After consecutive unsuccessful attacks, Bournemouth players were a little less confident.

After all, the opponent is Chelsea!

When you face such a strong enemy and try your best to fail, the players will inevitably doubt whether their abilities are really incapable of breaking through the opponent's goal.

Moreover, their continuous strong attacks also led to the emptiness of the defense.

In the 25th minute, during a Bournemouth attack, forward Komogat's long-range shot went directly high, and Martinez quickly took a goal kick.

After receiving the pass from Christensen, Cancelo tried to dribble the ball along the left rib, but was tripped to the ground by the opponent's midfielder Ricci just after he passed the center line. The referee did not blow the whistle.
p>

After Cancelo struggled to get up, he caught up again, got the ball before the opponent's full-back Francis, and passed it to Gnabry in front.

Gnabry was accelerating forward and caught up with Cancelo's pass in the gap. He first made a fake move and deceived Francis, then suddenly spiked the ball to the right, earning a small profit before Francis could react.

Through the gap, he quickly sent a direct pass with his right foot.

The football followed a straight line, from Chelsea's left rib to the right side of Bournemouth's penalty area.
