Chapter 220 Kicking Bayern by surprise

After the Deutsche Telekom Cup, Hamburg played two warm-up matches, but both ended in defeat.

It's okay to lose 1:3 to West Ham United in the Premier League, but Tresden, who lost 0:4 to the Bundesliga, is a bit restless.

Especially in the last game, Pan Yi personally directed it!
Although the game was not broadcast live on TV, those who watched the game at the scene were all puzzled by Pan Yi's formation.

In this game, although in terms of personnel arrangement, Hamburg looks like a 433 when Pan Yi was in Milan before, but judging from the actual positions of the players, it looks like a 253?

In other words, the positions of the two full-backs, Robertson and Carvajal, are a bit too far forward, and they have reached the midfield position.

Also, they weren't wing-backs like some back three formations, nor were they full-backs in traditional formations, not standing on either side at all.

When these two full-backs were attacking, they even stood directly in the position of the midfielder, which was even more forward than the orthodox midfielder Casemiro!

Not only the two full-backs, but also players in other positions. Wu Lei sometimes left winger, sometimes right winger, and sometimes even Sun Xingmin would run to the same side as Wu Lei.

This made Hamburg's entire tactics look like a mess, at least in the eyes of the watching media and fans, it was really disorganized.

So after the game, some media expressed doubts, thinking that Hamburg's pre-season preparations this season felt a bit too childish. If they don't get into the state as soon as possible, how can they compete with Bayern in the league?

With such a warm-up performance, Pan Yi's wild words of vowing to win the Bundesliga championship now seem so harsh.

The media also compared Bayern's preseason performance with Hamburg.

自瓜迪奥拉在2013年7月1日正式入主拜仁慕尼黑以来，先是打了五场热身赛，分别是3：0布雷西亚，6：0格罗巴斯帕奇，4：0罗斯托克，然后就是电信杯上4：0汉堡，5：1门兴格拉德巴赫。

Almost at the same time that Hamburg just lost to the Bundesliga team, Bayern had a warm-up with Guashuai's old club Barcelona, ​​and the result was a 2-0 victory.

In other words, Guardiola played a total of six games with Bayern, winning all of them, scoring 24 goals and only conceding 1 goal!
This shows that Guashuai has quickly brought the Bayern players out of the game!
In such a comparison, the gap between Hamburg and Bayern appears to be so huge.

As the two opponents who will have a German Super Cup match in a few days, the suspense of the outcome seems to have disappeared from the beginning.

……

Of course, not all the media looked down on Pan Yi and Hamburg.

For example, the local media in Hamburg.

During the same period last season, they had already "suffered" when Pan Yi first settled in Hamburg.

At that time, Hamburg also performed poorly during the warm-up match, and later even lost to the German third team Karlsruhe in the German Cup, which caused the local media to spit on Pan Yi, wishing to spit him back to Longguo .

But everyone knows what happened next.

The Hamburg media was slapped in the face, and finally welcomed Pan Yi back to his faithful Hamburg.

Therefore, this time, a group of local media, including the "Hamburg Morning Post", expressed cautious optimism.

A reporter wrote in a column:
"Pan Yi never paid much attention to the warm-up match. This is the stage for him to practice the team, try various tactical routines and teamwork."

"I saw at the scene that after the big defeat to the Tresden team, Pan Yi didn't have any displeasure on his face, and even smiled and took a photo with the opponent's players."

"Perhaps, only in the games that Pan Yi really values, such as the Super Cup, can we see the true strength of Hamburg this season..."

But no matter which side the media is on, this German Super Cup game has attracted special attention.

Hamburg fights Bayern Munich again, Pan Yi encounters Guardiola!

In the last season, Hamburg was the only team in the Bundesliga that did not fall behind against Bayern Munich.

3:1 at home and 1:3 away, just a draw.

At the same time, Hamburg is also the only team that can beat Bayern Munich.

It can also be said that Hamburg vs. Bayern is a duel between the two strongest teams in the Bundesliga. After all, it is the champion vs. the runner-up!
For Guardiola, this is also the first time he has really faced Pan Yi's challenge.

After all, although in the 2011-2012 season, Pan Yi's AC Milan played against Guashuai's Barcelona twice, Pan Yi was just an assistant after all.

Now, both of them can stand as the head coach and have a real fight!
One is the super coach who has the best record in leading teams in the world football and led Barcelona to win six championships;

The other is the youngest head coach in the world who led an equally young team to the Bundesliga runner-up;
No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a good show not to be missed.

"Hamburg Morning Post" believes that another reason why Pan Yi has a small probability of winning is that Bayern is currently affected by certain injuries.

The main goalkeeper Neuer has a shoulder injury and needs more than a week to recover.

Ribery, on the other hand, suffered a slight strain on his leg muscles due to his lack of adaptability to the intensity of the training, and the date of his return to the team has yet to be determined.

The golden boy Goetze, who just transferred to Bayern this summer, is also absent due to injury. He has been injured since before the Champions League final last season.

On the other hand, in Hamburg, although it seems that the morale of the team is doubtful due to the repeated losses in the warm-up match, at least everyone is strong and strong, and it feels like they can go to the marathon.

But because of this, it made it difficult for Bayern to predict Hamburg's starting lineup.

"In the pre-season, all first-team players in Hamburg have played records. It seems that Pan Yi has not yet determined his main lineup."

In Bayern's conference room, members of the coaching staff are analyzing the opponent's data.

The chief assistant coach Grande said: "The goalkeeper is relatively certain. It must be Navas, the main player of last season."

"On the defensive line, there is no suspense between the two full-backs, but in the central defender position, they have introduced Milan's Van Dijk this season, which may have an impact on the original main central defender combination."

"Whether Pan Yi will use the Kjaer + Rudiger combination, which has a more tacit cooperation and more experience, or there are new changes, it is still hard to judge."

"In midfield, they seem to have more players to choose from. Kante, Paulinho, Casemiro, including Makoto Hasebe, are all likely to play. And..."

At this time Guardiola interrupted him and asked: "What formation do you think Pan Yi will adopt? 4231 or 433?"

Grande hesitated and said: "He doesn't seem to have clearly determined the main formation... When he uses the 433 formation, last season's assist king De Bruyne will also appear in the central midfielder or even the right midfielder. The position on the side makes it even more difficult to judge his staffing."

Guardiola smiled: "It's hard to judge the formation, so let's judge whether he will be the main attacker or the main defender in this Super Cup?"

"Well...should be attacking." Grande thought for a while and said, "Although they lost many warm-up matches, they all put on an offensive posture in the game without exception. Combined with his interview What he said at the time, his desire to play a good offense this season may be true."

Guardiola nodded slightly: "I think so too. I feel that he is a bit similar to me in some ways, that is, he tends to attack and play beautiful football. Of course, he is also very pragmatic. If the situation requires him to defend, he will not hesitate to set up the bus!"

When he said this, Gua Tu couldn't help touching his bald head.

His original peak universe team with Habai Bumei was hit hard by Milan's defensive counterattack.

"He introduced several old Milan players this season, and his strength has been improved, so I also feel that he has a lot of confidence in his lineup, so he is really likely to fight against us." Guardiola continued, "Then we will start from this aspect to guess the starting lineup of Hamburg."

"In the position of central defender, Van Dijk's ability to play the ball is better than that of Kyar, so the probability of him replacing Kyar as the starter is very high."

"In the midfield, Pan Yi has many options, but there is a combination that he will give priority to when playing 433. That is Casemiro at the back, and Kanter and De Bruyne in front."

"This combination takes into account both the hardness of defense and the fluency of offense. With Kanter, De Bruyne can also play the characteristics of his accurate passing. Pan Yi will never give up this advantage!"

Before talking about Hamburg's forward line, Guardiola suddenly asked again: "What do you think is the comparative strength of the midfield of our two teams? Or, can we win the control of the midfield?"

Everyone present glanced at each other, and no one was in a hurry to answer.

Casemiro + Kanter + De Bruyne.

If two seasons ago, everyone would have said without hesitation: "Who are these three? Compared with Bayern as a midfielder?"

But now, these people have proven their abilities in the Bundesliga, Serie A, and even the Champions League, so they really dare not draw conclusions so easily.

In the current Bayern formation, Guardiola is more inclined to use Thiago + Kroos to form a double midfielder to play. Most of the six consecutive victories in the warm-up match were made with this 4231 midfielder combination.

And this combination is definitely world-class in the offensive attributes of ball control and passing, but if it is only about defense, the effect may be really hard to say.

Everyone knows that Pan Yi's Hamburg attaches great importance to the midfield.

Even Guardiola's old enemy Mourinho said in an interview with reporters that Pan Yi's tactics perfectly interpret the saying "the one who wins the midfielder wins the world".

If you can suppress Hamburg's midfield, you will definitely be able to suppress Hamburg's offense.

But the question is, can Bayern really suppress the combination of Casemiro + Kanter + De Bruyne?

Seeing everyone's discord, Guardiola smiled and said: "You don't have to worry. I will let Muller in the frontcourt, including Robben, also recover to assist the midfielder. Shaqiri, who replaced Ribery, he With a strong body, he will not suffer at all in confrontation."

"Speaking of the frontcourt personnel, Pan Yi may also make some adjustments to the offensive line after the introduction of Salah. There should be no doubt that Vardy will continue to start, but which two will be chosen among Sun Xingmin, Wu Lei and Salah? It’s not easy to confirm the position of the winger who plays on both sides.”

"But what I can confirm is that if he chooses 433, then these two wingers should both be able to play the reverse footed inside forward position. At that time, we must pay attention to cutting off their internal cuts to prevent sudden shots."

The crowd finally began to nod their heads, and Guardiola finally clapped their hands: "Then prepare according to this arrangement. We will do our best to win this championship at the People's Park Stadium and start a good start for the new season!"

……

"Come here."

After the training, Mitrovic was about to go to the locker room, but was stopped by Pan Yi who was standing at the door of the coach's office.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Mitrovic ran towards Pan Yi.

Among the current very young Hamburg first-team players, he is still the youngest, half a year younger than Charhanoglu and Robertson in the same year.

He's also a true rookie on this team.

All the players have been under Pan Yi for at least a year!Only he is a newcomer and has not played a formal game under Pan Yi.

So he still feels a little reserved.

But fortunately, everyone in the team is very kind to him, especially Pan Yi has always been concerned about his growth, and often chats with him.

——Of course, Pan Yi is not just looking for Mitrovic.

Because Hamburg has mostly young players, and young people often face a lot of temptations after they become famous.

Although Pan Yi knew that the people under him had good professionalism, but what would happen if the timeline went awry?

So Pan Yi will also remain vigilant and find time to urge them.

On the other hand, these young people often don't know how to take care of themselves and need someone to help them in the team.

Pan Yi tends to leave some things to the captain Westerman and the older Navas and others to help, but Pan Yi's traditional art of "talk therapy" is still left to him.

——As an aside, Navas's mental attributes in the FM game are also excellent. It belongs to the "team example" and is a good example for young players to set an example. This is also the purpose of Pan Yi's signing of Navas one of them.

In short, Pan Yi's concern made Mitrovic feel warm, and it was Pan Yi who personally went to Serbia to bring him from the guerrillas to Hamburg, which also made him feel grateful to Pan Yi in his heart.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to play in the Bundesliga at such an age!
And during this period of time in the team, he also gradually felt the lofty status of Pan Yi in this Hamburg team.

Everyone who mentioned him, whether in person or behind his back, was full of praise and admiration, even admiration! ——This also includes ordinary fans.

This is enough to show that Pan Yi's influence in Hamburg is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the last time Pan Yi told him about the position of the substitute, he also agreed with it very much, and believed that Pan Yi was really thinking about him.

So today, what does the head coach want from him?

"When you play Bayern in the Super Cup, you come to play the main center. Is there any problem?"

When Mitrovic walked into the coach's office, Pan Yi spoke.

And this sentence stunned Mitrovic immediately.

"Ah?" The tall Serbian center didn't know what to say for a while, his head was buzzing, "But...but didn't you say that I will play as a substitute this season..."

"The substitute is to have a surprise effect." Pan Yi laughed, "This time you are allowed to start in the starting lineup, just to play Bayern by surprise."

Mitrovic scratched his head, but said nothing.

He still hasn't understood what Pan Yi's intentions are.

Of course he is eager to play, eager to start.

But during training, he can also feel the obvious gap between himself and the main center Vardy.

Especially in terms of speed, running position and shooting, Mitrovic is really inferior.

So he didn't just listen to Pan Yi's words, but he really felt that he couldn't compete with Vardy now.

Not to mention anything else, Vardy was the team's top scorer last season, Bundesliga bronze boots, and he has only played in a small league like Serbia for two years, and has no experience in a game of the five major leagues.

How can he be able to start directly in the game against the Bundesliga overlord?

Pan Yi stood up and patted Mitrovic on the shoulder: "You have to have confidence in yourself."

Pan Yi himself has confidence in him.

After getting along for a month, Pan Yi found that Mitrovic is a smart and open-minded player.

According to the analysis report given by the coaching staff after every game and every training session, he can always accept and improve his technical defects.

From joining the team to the present, he has really benefited a lot from these analysis reports, and the progress is obvious.

Especially in terms of foot skills and cooperation with teammates.

And this is the basic requirement for the center in the 433 formation that Pan Yi is currently studying to deal with Bayern.

The center is an important part of the passing network of the 433 formation!
Pan Yi's requirements for the center in this 433 formation are as follows:
First, you have certain ball-handling skills at your feet, and you need to fully participate in the team's passing coordination process.

Second, the range of activities is wide, "lateral movement, retreat" is a must-have movement idea for the center forward.

Third, have a keen sense of smell and the ability to seize opportunities.

Fourth, it needs to have a certain fulcrum effect!When the team is unable to tear the opponent's defense line at the beginning, the midfielder will pass the ball to the center forward, and the center forward will divide the ball again to the left and right.

The current main center Vardy in the team can actually meet the first three requirements, and even has an absolute advantage in counterattack speed.

But in terms of the fulcrum of the fourth point, he is much inferior to Mitrovic.

And because of Vardy's outstanding performance last season, Pan Yi believes that Guardiola has also conducted research and deployment on Vardy to prevent Vardy from having room to sprint.

In fact, including the second game against Bayern last season, Vardy's performance was relatively average, and Heynckes should have a way to deal with it at that time.

So Pan Yi wanted to find another way and go up the third road!

At this time, Mitrovic will be more useful.

Now, the 19-year-old boy saw that Pan Yi said it seriously, not as if he was joking, and he was a little nervous, but more excited!
He stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, and swallowed hard: "I, I have confidence!"

Pan Yi asked again: "Then, you will soon face the world's top central defenders like Boateng and Dante in the game, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!" Mitrovic patted his chest, "I'm ready, boss!"

At this time, his voice was full of firmness, without the hesitation at the beginning.

Pan Yi looked at Mitrovic with a smile on his face, looking very happy.

He knew that he had read the player correctly.

The fighting blood inherent in the Serbian nation flows in the body of this young soldier.

He also has a strong spiritual will and an unyielding heart.

As long as Pan Yi gives him a chance, he will burst out with the greatest fighting enthusiasm and apply the best level on the court!
……

In the subsequent training, Mitrovic really worked harder.

When Pan Yi arranged tactical training, he also began to let him team up with Salah and Sun Xingmin to cooperate with each other.

The left and right wingers in the 433 formation are actually the core of the team's offense, and under normal circumstances, the left and right wingers in the 433 formation play against the foot.

At present, Wu Lei's inverse foot cutting skills are still not very proficient, so Pan Yi still chose to use Salah to start this game.

Of course, the opponent's defensive players are naturally familiar with the idiomatic thinking of the reverse-footed winger cutting inside and hitting the goal, so Pan Yi will also ask the two wingers to choose to switch sides in a timely manner to increase the difficulty of the opponent's defense.

Because there are fundamental differences in the dribbling line and attacking thinking of the winger with the right foot and the winger with the reverse foot!

At the same time, the connection between the center and the winger and the ball are also very important components of the frontcourt offense.

Therefore, when arranging targeted training, the coaching staff also intends to cultivate a tacit understanding among the forwards and strengthen their communication and cooperation.

Of course, Pan Yi did not forget to do ideological work for Vardy.

After all, he was originally the main force of the iron fight, and he was suddenly robbed of the starting position of an important game by a young boy who just arrived, and he would inevitably feel a little bit in his heart.

But after Pan Yi explained to him the tactical strategy to be adopted in this game and the role Mitrovic can play in such a tactic, Vardy was also relieved.

After all, he is indeed not as tall and strong as Mitrovic, so he is so suitable to be a fulcrum center!
And Pan Yi revealed that after waiting for Bayern's physical strength to decline and then sending him up to counterattack with speed, it was also in Vardy's arms.

Therefore, he readily accepted this treatment and began to actively cooperate with the main force in training.

This actually reflects Pan Yi's ability to control the locker room from the side.

In some teams, sometimes players are dissatisfied with the coach.

If the coach changes the player off the field, or even does not allow the player to play due to tactical reasons, the player may turn his back on the coach.

For example, throwing water bottles, not saying hello to the coach, going back to the locker room before the game is over...all of these affect the atmosphere of the team.

But in Hamburg, such things basically do not happen.

Everyone is united around the coaching staff with Pan Yi as the core, working together for the same goal - that is to win!

　Thanks to wakeandup for the reward!
