Chapter 536 Brand new stadium, Pan Yi Stadium!
"Reborn performance!"
Shortly after the end of the China-Syria battle, the major media have already praised the performance of the national football team in their respective front-page headlines.
After this game, Longguo's points reached 13 points, and officially surpassed South Korea and Uzbekistan in the Group A standings, and climbed to the second position!
From the bottom of the group with one draw and three losses in the first four rounds, to the second place in the group with four consecutive victories after eight rounds, there is hope of directly qualifying. The changes in the national football team during this period can undoubtedly be called "reborn".
And everyone knows that such a huge change is of course due to the national football coaching staff led by Lippi and Pan Yi.
If we talk about the game against Syria, the national football team also defeated the opponent with a rotation lineup, which also reflected the flexible use of troops by the coaching staff, indicating that this national football team does not only rely on a few players.
Under the stimulation and teaching of the new coaching staff, even the original bench players can shine at critical moments and make their own contributions to the national football team!
"In this game, the starting lineup of the national football team underwent a rotation of up to five players, but the overall strength of the team was not greatly affected by this, and it still took the initiative in the game."
"Like Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe, they effectively drove the national team's offense throughout the game. Gao Lin, who came off the bench, also performed brilliantly, and Deng Hanwen and Yu Hanchao even scored goals!"
"Especially Deng Hanwen, this young defender is only playing for BJ Renhe in the Chinese League One, and he has not played a few games on behalf of the national team before. But it is said that Pan Yi urged Lippi to replace the injured Mei Fang in the starting lineup. , and the results have been very good.”
"It can be said that Pan Yi has brought his sharp-eyed qualities in the club to the national team! The national football team is lucky!"
In the end, the media greatly praised the coaching staff composed of Lippi and Pan Yi.
"Replacing the five starting players who won three consecutive victories in one go, if I were any coach in China, I am afraid that I would not have such courage and confidence."
"Although there are some objective factors for making such a big adjustment, the fact is that many coaches will ask them to play with injuries even if their core players are injured in order to maintain stability."
"And Lippi and Pan Yi waved their hands directly, and don't go to those who are injured! This is to ensure the state of the team and consider the career of the players. This is the real world-class coach!"
"The victory in this game now gives us hope to qualify! Thank you Lippi and Pan Yi!"
"Of course, as Lippi and Pan Yi said before, with our current strength, no matter what kind of opponent we face, we will not have an advantage. We can only have a chance of winning by fighting game after game. Don't be too ambitious, let alone be arrogant."
"We can only trust them. Let us look forward to the next game against Uzbekistan at the end of August!"
-
In fact, the ninth round of Group A is held around August 8.
At this point in time, for the club, it is actually already next season.
As the club owner, Pan Yi, it is time to go back and prepare for York City's preparations for next season.
After a day of rest in Malaysia, Pan Yi said goodbye to the coaches and players of the national football team and flew directly to England.
When he went back, he wanted to attend an important event—that is, the construction of the brand new stadium in York City was officially started!
Longguo's construction engineering group has already brought various large-scale machinery to the location of the new stadium, and a huge construction team has also arrived.
How big is it?
光是各种机器，就足足有15台汽车式起重机、5台220吨及600吨全路面起重机、30台大型挖掘机、5台泵车、20台搅拌车、3台旋挖钻和8台正面吊……
After Pan Yi presided over a simple groundbreaking ceremony, the new York City Stadium started.
Construction of the new stadium has begun, but the old stadium has not been demolished. Anyway, the place here is big enough.
Before the new stadium is built, the old stadium can naturally continue to be used, which also saves the trouble of temporarily renting the venue.
In the Yorkshire area, if you want to have a stadium that meets the standards of the British Championship and the Premier League, you have to go to the two teams of Leeds United or Sheffield;
And they are also going to participate in the league, so it is not an easy task to coordinate, and they may not be willing to rent it to you.
Therefore, Pan Yi has already made such a plan. When the new stadium is built, the old stadium can also be turned into a commercial area, or used as a memorial hall, so that old fans can recall the wind and rain they have experienced here in the past few decades. Rain and rain.
When the news came out that the construction of the new stadium had begun, both local TV stations in Yorkshire and media from London, Liverpool and other places came to watch and report on it.
Because this is not only a new stadium for York City, but also the first stadium built by Long Guo Construction Company in the UK!
According to chief engineer Zhu Zhongyi, due to the complex structural system of the new stadium, the team used building information modeling technology from the beginning of design to the final construction.
The database based on this technology and a large number of domestically developed operating procedures increase the efficiency of modeling and drawing by more than 80% compared with traditional methods. The simultaneous delivery of visual three-dimensional models and traditional two-dimensional drawings facilitates the integrated development of design and construction. Provides great convenience.
This is also the point that has attracted the attention of local media in the UK. Dragon Kingdom is now leading the world in construction technology, and the title of "Infrastructure Madman" is really well-deserved.
This also shows that the current "Dragon Country Manufacturing" is no longer ordinary manufacturing, but high-level manufacturing, which is the output of the entire industrial chain from products to services.
In order to better complete the work, Longguo's construction team also divided the entire project into several stages, starting from the south side of the stadium, then gradually adding construction units, and finally connecting all parts. Only when the stadium is completed After that, the surrounding area will start to be built.
As previously planned, the entire football stadium is divided into 7 floors, and there is a multi-storey parking lot underground that can accommodate more than 1 cars.
The stadium sits on a large landscaped platform that takes visitors from all levels to the entrance level, where the main entrance plaza is located in the middle of the auditorium.
This platform connects the stadium to the adjacent landscape and reduces its scale.
The large parabolic voids in the platform represent the different activity areas, and most spectators can enter and exit the stadium through the east exit.
The space to the northeast will contain a community market, while the space at the southeast end will house an events park, with vehicle access from a parabolic space within the west podium, where athletes, officials and VIPs can be disembarked.
It is envisioned that the stadium will integrate well with the precinct and will become the heart of Yorktown, with a rich variety of community events taking place in and around the stadium on non-match days.
And as for the name of this stadium...
Although it has not yet been finalized, according to a poll among York City fans, the vast majority of people think that this stadium should be called——
Pan Yi Stadium!
-
While the construction of the new stadium started, Pan Yi also had to start dealing with the money thrown from major clubs.
Nothing else, York City's performance this season is great!
And most of the players in the team are young future stars, so it is almost impossible not to arouse the covetousness of other clubs.
For example, on this day, director Horta came to report to Pan Yi: "Manchester United made an offer to us. They hope to buy De Ligt and Alfonso Davies in a package. The offer is 3000 million pounds. It can be discussed further."
Manchester United's determination to introduce defensive players is foreseeable.
Their defense has not been safe in the past few seasons.
It can also be said that since Ferdinand and Vidic left the legendary defensive partner, Manchester United has not been able to find someone who can really replace them.
In this season, Mourinho often uses the combination of Rojo + Bailey, and sometimes uses Phil Jones, but it always feels not so stable.
The same goes for the full-backs, "Professor Yang" Ashley Young is diligent, but he is always a bit short of a first-class star. Damian on the other side can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
It's no wonder that Mourinho drools at the sight of a young full-back who is so fast and can pass the ball like Alphonso Davies.
"Reject them, we have signed new contracts with the players, no one can poach them!" Pan Yi refused without thinking.
Before the end of the season, Pan Yi chose to renew the contract with the players, isn't it just to prevent this?
These young players are the cornerstone of York City's future development, and Pan Yi really doesn't want to let go of any of them.
Now he is not short of money!
Besides, these young people were all only [-] or [-] years old when they came to York City. If they stay in the team for another two years, they will be able to obtain "household registration books" in each place. Wouldn't it be even more exciting then?
Selling now is definitely not worth the gain.
Not to mention that York City will play in the European competition next season. The current lineup alone is already very thin.
It's too late for Pan Yi to replenish people, so how could he sell people?
Let’s talk again…
Manchester United wants to pack two potential stocks for the 3000 million. Are you thinking of Taozi?
Whether it's De Ligt or Alphonso Davies, if they practice for another year or two, each of them can be sold for more than 8000 million, okay?
"Okay. But there is still..." Horta laughed again, "Arsenal also made an offer to us. They want Amon, and the offer is 2000 million pounds!"
It is well known that Wenger has always wanted a fast striker.
Big Giroud is certainly good, but he's really slow.Sanchez is the thigh, but Wenger needs another side.
It's a pity that Walcott, the "little tiger" promoted by the professor a long time ago, has almost "injured Zhong Yong", and the development of another Joel Campbell from Costa Rica has also failed to meet expectations. Grid is ready to loan him out.
As a supplement, Wenger of course hopes to buy a real "little motorcycle", and Amon, who has performed well in the League One, has also entered his sight.
To be honest, for Arsenal, which is relatively tight on hand, it is not easy to be able to offer a high price of 2000 million for a League One player.
But obviously, Pan Yi's answer is still "NO".
"You tell Wenger that our York City will not sell any players for the time being, please go to another house to have a look." Pan Yi said, thought for a while, and then smiled, "You can also say that it is my suggestion, you can Go to Ligue [-], there must be a fellow he likes there."
In Pan Yi's impression, at this point in his previous life, Wenger must have brought in Lacazette from Lyon in Ligue 6000, and it seemed that he had spent [-] to [-] million pounds...
Of course, it's not that Arsenal's transfer budget this year has suddenly been raised so high, but that some players in the team have left, freeing up some space.
For example, Chamberlain will be sold to Liverpool, where he will earn 4000 million pounds.
Then the departures of people like Gabriel Paulista, Szczesny, Gibbs and others are almost enough to buy a Lacazette.
Anyway, I don't care how you Wenger toss, but don't even think about gold panning in York City!
Besides, although a player like Amon performed really well last season and was selected for the Cameroon national team because of this, Pan Yi felt that this guy's instructions were only in his hands.
If under Arsene Wenger's hand, he played some pass control and exposed the weakness of Amon's basic skills, and in the end he had to be thrown on the bench, wouldn't it be a mistake?
Therefore, not selling is the best choice, so as not to lose three times.
"And Chelsea..." Horta hesitated, then added, "They want to buy Baker. And Rice..."
Chelsea is of course a special one for Pan Yi.
But no matter how special it is, brothers must settle accounts clearly, and these two players can't give it either!
The main reason why Chelsea wanted to purchase from Pan Yi was that they finally lost staff.
In last season, although the Blues won the Premier League title, they lost to York City in the FA Cup final, and lost 0:2 to Real Madrid in the more important Champions League final.
Ronaldo scored twice, allowing Real Madrid to avenge Chelsea and regain the Champions League!
In other words, Chelsea's dominance in the European arena has also declined to a certain extent, and it is definitely not as good as Pan Yi's seven-time champion.
By this summer, Manchester United took the lead in "attacking" Chelsea waving a check.
Mourinho first spent 4000 million pounds on his favorite Matic, and then simply used 7500 million pounds to get Lukaku away.
In addition, they also bought Swedish international Lindelof from Benfica for 3000 million pounds... It can be said that they specifically targeted Pan Yi's former disciples.
Perhaps in Mourinho's vision, using a central defender combination like Lindelof + De Ligt is his ideal match, but it is a pity that De Ligt is not available.
For Chelsea, having lost Lukaku and Matic successively, of course they have to supplement the corresponding positions.
Baker, who has successively won the Golden Boot in English League Two and English League One, is far behind Lukaku in terms of position, but after all, he is "produced by Pan Yi" and cannot be watered down.
In addition, it is the big center they need most now, so they still want to fight for it.
As for Rice, he was originally from Chelsea's youth training. Although he was not popular in the team before, he has now proved himself in League One and the FA Cup. Chelsea also hopes that he can return.
Pan Yi just nodded after hearing this, and said, "I'll call them directly to talk about this, and you don't have to worry about it for now."
Based on Pan Yi's close relationship with the Chelsea club, it would indeed be more appropriate for Pan Yi to communicate with them directly.
Of course, there is one and only one result of communication, and that is to reject all acquisition requests.
For a rich club like Chelsea, stop staring at the small temple in York City, go outside and buy some more people!
Of course, Pan Yi will also give his own advice to old friends.
For example, Rudiger, who is still in Hamburg, is very good. It would be good to buy him to supplement the defense. After all, captain Terry is leaving the team.
In addition, I heard that Arteta also wants to buy Morata from Real Madrid. Pan Yi will advise him to be cautious, fearing that he will lose money...
In short, it is okay to recommend players and give buying advice, but there is no way to buy someone from York City!
After rejecting the purchase requests from major clubs one by one, Pan Yi is about to take action.
The first is to officially promote players in the youth team who are already capable of playing in the British Championship to the first team.
For example, Huang Zichang, he actually played a few first-team games last season, and his performance was not bad. This season will give him more opportunities.
The other two players are Kvaratskhelia and Saliba.
These two players are only over 16 years old, and it is a little bit reluctant to let them play the main force, but they can train with the first team first, or they can adapt to the atmosphere of the professional arena first, and then improve slowly.
Then, there is the large-scale purchase plan, which is also the focus of Pan Yi's work this summer!
In his hands, there is already a long purchase list.
Leo, Scamaca, De Jong, Barrera, Tonali, DiMarco, Araujo, Tomori, Bastoni, Militao, Onana...
Basically, they are positions that York City currently needs more, and they are also potential stocks in the future.
Regardless of whether they will come or not, Pan Yi will always try them all. As long as he can buy a few, he will definitely make money in the future!
In order to fight on multiple fronts next season, the first team must have a team of at least 20 high-level players, so it is necessary to buy so many players.
In addition, in this list, Pan Yi also deliberately increased the number of Italian players on all lines.
These can be said to be the future hopes of the Italian national team!
As for Pan Yi, he still hopes in his heart to lead a national team to the World Cup in person, and it is the kind that has the hope of winning the championship!
At present, it seems that he is getting closer to his position in the Italian national team.
In recent European World Cup qualifiers, Italy's performance can be said to be very poor.
In their head-to-head match against Spain in the away game, they were defeated by a score of 0:3, and they were almost powerless to fight back.
And this is not over yet, in the next game against the underdog North Macedonia, they were tied 1:1 by their opponents—North Macedonia seems to be really the sufferer of Italy. In Pan Yi's previous life, it was their team in the 2022 World Cup. Italy beat Italy in the European play-offs, allowing them to miss the World Cup for two consecutive times.
As a result of these two games, the Italian team has almost lost the qualification to directly qualify from the group, and being forced into the play-offs is almost a foregone conclusion.
Italian head coach Ventura has also been at the forefront of public opinion, and countless Italian fans have called for him to dismiss get out of class quickly!
And for Pan Yi, who was recommended by Lippi, he can indeed start to plan ahead.
The current lineup of the Italian national team is really not very good.
The original most stable defense line is now old, and the BBC formed by Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli also began to make frequent mistakes;
In the midfield, De Rossi is also old, and the strikers Immobile and Belotti are also embarrassing.
So Pan Yi is trying to find a way to get those future Italian stars into his team first, practice well, and then go out to play for the country!
Wouldn't it be flattering to earn money on both sides?
After determining the target, Pan Yi began to visit one by one according to the names on the little demon's list.
The first one is his most important goal this summer: Italian Tonali!
