Chapter 153 Werder Bremen

In the afternoon, Pan Yi was at the training ground, and was dragged into the office by chairman Yakhov to chat for a while.

In fact, after the game last night, Yakhov had already praised Pan Yi, but today he still has more to say.

"Your performance at the press conference last night was also very good, haha." Yakhov said excitedly, "In just one day, our home season ticket sales have increased by 30% compared with the same period last year. The exposure of the major media is also very high, and the popularity is very strong!"

As the chairman of the club, he certainly hopes that Hamburg, a century-old club, can become a top player in the world like Milan and Bayern.

On-site audience, media attention, and the number of overseas fans are all important metrics.

But now it seems that after Pan Yi led the team to play the first Bundesliga game, Hamburg has taken a small step in the direction Yakhov expected.

Pan Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it because of your support? I can say whatever I want."

This is also true.

In some clubs, the chairman or director will ask the head coach not to talk nonsense to the outside world to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But in Hamburg, Pan Yi has no such restrictions.

"You're right, of course I will support you." Yakhov also smiled, "Of course the more important thing is to win, and win beautifully!"

"I will. Then, if there is any injury to the team, I want to be in the winter window..."

"I support it too! The premise is...not to spend too much money."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

With the current staffing, Pan Yi predicts that there will definitely be some personnel problems after half a season.

That's why he asked the chairman for funding.

If it can be supplemented during the winter window, it will be much easier to deal with the rest of the schedule, and it can also gradually prepare for the next season's personnel reserves.

As for how much money you can have and what level of people to add, we will talk about it at that time.

Hamburg has invested a lot this season, and Pan Yi is already very satisfied with such strong support.

Now that he got the promise from the chairman again, Pan Yi happily went to the meeting room.

Today the coaching staff is going to study the next opponent in the Bundesliga.

Werder Bremen!
The coach of this team is the 51-year-old Thomas Schaff, who is already regarded as a godfather in Bremen.

He spent most of his football career at Werder Bremen, representing the team in 1972 Bundesliga games between 1995 and 262.

After retiring, Schaff served as a coach in the Bremen echelon, and succeeded Magath as Bremen coach in August 1999.

He soon led his team to win the German Cup in 1999 and reached the pinnacle of his coaching career in 2004.

In that year, Bremen beat Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga and Cup double!

By this year, Schaff had coached Bremen for 13 years.

He is a coach who advocates attacking football. He once said: "It is easier to put all 11 men together to defend than to organize the attack, but it is no fun at all."

Therefore, although Bremen's strength has declined in recent years, and it is no longer possible to have anything to do with winning the championship or even entering the top of the standings, Schaff still insists on attacking.

In the first round of the Bundesliga away game against Dortmund, Bremen deployed a 433 attack formation to start a confrontation with the Hornets.

Although they lost 1:2 in the end, Schaff's Werder Bremen still won the respect of the fans and the media.

What Pan Yi is more concerned about is that Schaff's set of 433 is somewhat similar to the method used by AC Milan last season!
It is also a combination of a defensive midfielder and two central midfielders, and it is also a combination of a center forward and two wingers, which also requires high pressure on the frontcourt.

Then, the set of Sampdoria against Milan that Pan Yi just watched can come in handy immediately!
"... Ladies and gentlemen, how can we mobilize the opponent's midfielder by taking advantage of the weakness of the opponent's lack of a front midfielder? I have already explained it just now. Now, let me talk about the points that need to be paid attention to."

Pan Yi pointed to the tactical board and said loudly:

"To crack the opponent's defense, it is not only about attracting the opponent's midfielder. We also need to effectively mobilize the overall defense line of the 433 formation by moving the opponent's midfielder and forward players, so as to achieve an efficient and fast attack."

"After the opponent's high-position pressure and grabbing the ball were fruitless, we should use the backcourt area of ​​our side and the full-back's long pass, and find the other strong offensive side with a numerical advantage in a diagonal way."

"Since there are only three players in the midfield of the 433 formation, the team's coverage and protection of the width of the field is obviously insufficient. In this case, we can use this method to complete the transfer of Bremen players and make the formation loose. "

"As an aside, if the opponent adopts a formation like 442 with a winger, then the player in the winger position can immediately intercept our player who is about to get the ball. This style of play is not good. Well unfolded. So this style of play is only for the midfield three."

At this time, Nagelsmann, who was listening and thinking carefully, raised his hand and said: "But what if the player on the other side has been locked and cannot get the ball at this time? What should we do?"

Pan Yi nodded, tapped on one side of the tactical board and said: "Yes, experienced coaches will immediately discover our style of play and send someone to mark it. At this time, our Vardy will come in handy. At this time, the full-back can pass the ball to the center forward, the center forward makes a transition, and then passes the ball to the winger who has already inserted at high speed from the wing."

"The opponent's midfield and back line players will be in a desperate situation in this kind of defense. One second the ball is still in our backcourt, and the next two seconds, the ball has come to our offensive strong side."

"Such a large-scale diagonal transfer will make Bremen's defensive center of gravity swing back and forth between the left and the right. Faced with a diagonal connection transfer, any team will inevitably make mistakes."

"Moreover, their single midfielder will be useless in such a defense. Because he is weak in the midfield alone, he can't limit our passing to a certain extent. This is the drawback of the single midfielder system. It is mainly reflected in the transition from offense to defense."

Inzaghi also nodded heavily: "I understand. However, in this tactical play, it seems that only the full-backs and forwards are working? Then what should our midfielder do?"

Pan Yi smiled and said: "Of course the midfielder is very important. It goes without saying that the double defensive midfielder can protect the middle. I will focus on the position of the front midfielder."

"He not only needs to help the team when attacking, but also needs to fully participate in the team's overall defense when the team is defending, and quickly integrate into the team's In the overall defensive structure."

"Especially when our 4231 formation is facing the 433 frontcourt pressure, the requirements for the midfielders will be more stringent."

"When attacking, you must have a certain ability to control the ball and run a lot without the ball. When defending, you must not only have a certain overall defensive awareness, but also observe the situation around your teammates at any time. When the team is dangerous Give your teammates strong support from time to time..."

At the end, Pan Yi smiled again and said:

"Of course, I believe that our attacking midfielder, that is, De Bruyne, can complete these tasks. I will also talk to him tomorrow."

 Thank you for your reward!
