Chapter 224 The Super Bowl That Makes History

Others may not understand Guardiola's intentions, but Pan Yi understands it.

It is precisely because of the style of play of Hamburg's two retracted full-backs that Hamburg has always been in a favorable position in the midfield competition, which has prevented Bayern from obtaining the possession of the ball that Guashuai wanted.

Possession of the ball is the most important thing in Guardiola's coaching career!

In order to achieve this goal, he can withdraw all the forwards and put all his strength into the midfield competition-this is actually often seen in his career.

But doing so, of course, has serious drawbacks.

That is the lack of a real center forward in the frontcourt, and the team lacks a fulcrum and a bridgehead. When the ball is kicked to the front, it can basically only seek shooting opportunities through a small range of short pass penetration.

At this time, the style of play is a little monotonous, and it is easy to be broken by the opponent's intensive defense.

What's more, Bayern is still in a backward position now?

When you are behind, you can go to the midfielder, and only Guardiola can do it...

And Pan Yi is obviously not going to play with Guardiola in midfield anymore.

Between the 70th and 75th minutes, he changed three players in a row.

Mitrovic exits, Vardy enters.

Exit Salah, enter Wu Lei.

De Bruyne goes off, Paulinho goes on.

In the midfield, Pan Yi replaced De Bruyne with Paulinho, who is physically stronger and has a tougher style, to further strengthen the confrontation hardness of the midfield.

And Paulinho's offensive ability can also ensure that the operation of Hamburg's midfield organization will not be affected too much-Kanter and Casemiro are standing beside him!

Coincidentally, De Bruyne was a little tired from fighting in the previous period, and Pan Yi asked the vice-captain to come down to rest by the way. There are still many tough battles waiting for him!
And Vardy's playing is a bit targeted.

Aren't you on Dante?

Dante, the Brazilian international, is precise and aggressive, including marking and stealing skills. The young Mitrovic may indeed struggle to meet him.

But he has a well-known shortcoming: slow speed, slow turning!
If you use the values ​​​​in FM games, the data of "explosive power", "speed", and "flexibility" are not very good.

Therefore, changing to Vardy at this time is to use his speed to hit Dante!
And replacing Wu Lei at the same time can be regarded as a supporting service.

After he replaced Salah, he still stood on the right winger and played a smooth pass from the winger.

His main task is to break through the opponent's left defense line vigorously on the wing, and then create opportunities for Vardy in the center.

In this way, changing from reverse foot to smooth foot, the opponent's defender still has to adapt to defending.

As for Sun Xingmin on the other side, he is originally a player with balanced left and right feet. He is very good at cutting inside with the reverse foot or crossing with the right foot, so for him, he only needs to change his tactical thinking.

——This is also the big gap between Wu Lei and Sun Xingmin.For defenders, they often pay attention to restricting the opponent's smooth performance when defending against forwards, but it is difficult to do this when defending against biped monsters like Sun Xingmin.

And when Pan Yi also made targeted substitutions in response to Guardiola's substitutions, the situation on the field also began to undergo some changes.

In terms of ball possession, Bayern gradually caught up.

This is a very normal thing!

The current Bayern is almost a 460 formation.

Kroos, Thiago, Sweinsteiger, Harvey Martinez, these four midfielders plus Müller and Robben, the six people in front are all accumulated in the midfield to compete with Hamburg.

And Hamburg originally had three midfielders, plus the retracted full-back counted as half, which added up to four, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But at the same time, due to the constant harassment of Hamburg's frontcourt trio, Hamburg also began to use more direct passes from the backcourt to find ways to attack the front, but the chances of shooting increased.

An attack at 81 minutes was the epitome of this scene.

Bayern's tight pressure in the midfield forced Hamburg to pass the ball back to the backcourt.

But Van Dijk sent a long pass directly into Bayern's penalty area.

Vardy knew how to move forward quickly, leaping high and fighting for the ball's landing point.

It's a pity that he failed to head straight when he swung his head to attack the goal. After the ball hit his head, it flew out of the baseline.

Seeing this scene, Guardiola almost scratched his bald head.

Of course he can see that Hamburg's offensive threat is greater, and Bayern is more often thunderous and rainy, but he is doing the same now!
If the control of the midfield is not strengthened and Hamburg continues to attack through the midfield organization as it did in the first half, Bayern may be blown up!
But now that he has strengthened the midfield, Pan Yi has changed his routine to deal with it, which really put Gua Shuai in a dilemma.

This is obviously to prepare to use speed to fight Bayern's counterattack.

But how can Gua Shuai choose?Or, does he have a choice?
After all, there are only 10 minutes left in the game, and Bayern is still two goals behind!

He can only let Bayern's generals continue to press up and work hard to find opportunities in the frontcourt.

"Are they so good last season?" Guardiola couldn't help muttering.

He has never played against Pan Yi's Hamburg, so his understanding of this Hamburg is mainly through some game videos from last season and some shots from this season's warm-up match.

He originally thought that he knew enough about this Hamburg team, and he was confident that he could use Bayern's strong lineup to suppress the opponent.

However, there are many things that can't be discerned just by watching the game video.

Because the lens is limited.

Let's just talk about Pan Yi's retracted full-back style of play, which is often invisible in the broadcast footage.

When Hamburg is attacking, the camera will only focus on the players holding the ball in the frontcourt and the responding players, while Robertson or Carvajal who are standing behind may have quietly walked to the midfielder position at this time.

When the opponent steals and starts to counterattack, only the two full-backs of Hamburg suddenly appear in the camera to intercept, but it is not possible to fully see where they come from.

In addition, when the two teams switch between offense and defense, the players' running positions from the offensive formation to the defensive formation, and the defense area of ​​each position on the court must also be seen through the global lens.

And this is where the true strength of the team can be truly and objectively reflected.

This is why today's technology is so advanced, but many head coaches still choose to spy on the opponent's game on the spot.

But Guardiola obviously found that he underestimated the enemy a little, and never observed Pan Yi's game at all. The poor record in the Hamburg warm-up match did paralyze Guardiola to a certain extent.

So let alone go to see it in person, even an assistant was not sent there.

But now, Guashuai found that the real burger is stronger than the one in the video.

Whether it is the reasonableness of the overall formation, or the combination of players' personal abilities and teamwork.

Whether it is the calm control of the midfield, or the sharpness of the counterattack now.

And... physical fitness.

After such a high-intensity 80-minute confrontation, even the Bayern players were a little bit overwhelmed, but the Hamburg players seemed to have endless energy.

"They are... stronger than last season. They seem to have improved a lot." Assistant coach Grande said helplessly, "Whether it is the individual abilities of the players or the overall tactics of the team, they feel very strong."

Guardiola glanced back at Grande, shook his head, and sighed.

He had to admit that although he always thought that Pan Yi was a tactical genius, he still underestimated him in his heart.

Pan Yi is really amazing!

Just because he was able to form such a strong team mainly composed of young people in just over a year, he couldn't accept it!

Fortunately, this is just a Super Bowl game.

This kind of competition, it is important to say that it is important, and it is not important to say that it is not important.

The Super Bowl champion sounds awesome, but in fact it is often just an addition.

For example, Barcelona was known as the "Six Champions", which included the Super Cup champion.

And now if Bayern loses this Super Cup, it will be a big deal that they will not be called "six crowns" in the future, but at most they will be called "five crowns".

Thinking of this, Guardiola was shocked for no reason.

I actually think so now, is it because I admit in my heart that the game has been lost?No way to fight back?

This is not something a top coach in the world should think about!
Guardiola shook his head to drive out such negative thoughts.

But when he regained his spirit and wanted to make some adjustments to strengthen the attack on Bayern, the situation on the field changed again.

……

After Paulinho came on the field, he became the offensive and defensive pivot of the team's midfield.

He has a great body, and he has just changed into a full body. In addition, he is also smart in his running position, and he can always run to a position where his teammates can easily pass the ball.

On the other hand, Kanter and Casemiro take on more defensive tasks, and after grabbing the ball, they will hand it over to Paulinho for handling.

And Paulinho's handling method is also very simple.

He does not have the penetration ability of God's perspective like De Bruyne, so he is more about passing the ball to the two wings, allowing the two wingers to take the ball and then attack Bayern's defense.

Especially Wu Lei on the right.

He also came off the bench, and kept passing the ball quickly to make Alaba, who was defending on the wing, exhausted.

Of course, it's not just Alaba. The defenders, including central defenders Jr. Boten and Dante, all seem a little powerless under the impact of the speed of Hamburg's frontcourt trident.

After entering the eighth and 10th minute, this situation became more obvious, and the footsteps of the Bayern players were all struggling like lead.

In the 85th minute, an attack from Hamburg was blocked. Bayern goalkeeper Tusk kicked off the ball after getting the ball, and the ball fell to the center line.

Paulinho had an advantage in the fight with Kroos, headed the ball and headed it to the right.

Carvajal stopped the ball forward, continued to advance with the ball, glanced ahead, and quickly sent a direct pass.

After Wu Lei took the ball, he tried to stick to the bottom line on the right, but Alaba had been prepared and kept clinging to him.

Wu Lei suddenly stopped to smash the ball and passed the ball back.

At this time Paulinho has already run over again, to the right to receive the pass.

Alaba hurried over to defend, but Paulinho didn't stop the ball and returned the ball to Wu Lei.

This is a two-over-one cooperation on the wing!

At this time, there are no defensive players around Wu Lei.

He made some adjustments, glanced ahead, bent his right foot and took an arrow, and directly passed a half-high ball diagonally to the penalty area, sending the ball behind the defense line.

Seeing the middle of the penalty area, Vardy had already guessed his teammates' intentions when he saw Wu Lei stop and adjust.

He first retreated to the right to respond to a feint attack, shot a feint, and attracted the attention of Boateng and Dante, then suddenly stopped at the front of the penalty area, turned around suddenly, and sprinted forward.

This sudden change made the two central defenders of Bayern a little unprepared, and Wu Lei's oblique pass fell to the penalty area just right at this time.

Vardy didn't forget to look at the flying cross when he sprinted, and he jumped high near the penalty spot.

The ball hit the back of Vardy's head, turned in one direction, and fell to the left of the goal.

Tasker's position is on the right side, facing Vardy's header, the whole person flies to save, but is still out of reach.

"The ball has been scored again!!! It has been scored again!!!" Duan Xuan's voice immediately rang in the ears of all Longguo fans.

"Paulinho's instigation, Wu Lei's assist, Vardy's goal!"

"The cooperation of the three players replaced by coach Pan Yi in the second half created this goal! This is another brilliant substitution!"

"Now the score has come to 3:0!"

"Oh my God, who would have thought before the game that Bayern Munich, which was once mighty, would fall behind Hamburg by three goals!"

"We saw that the Hamburg players rushed to the bench and hugged the coaches to celebrate."

"This is a young team, but also an extremely united team! Under the leadership of Pan Yi, they have made great progress!"

"If Hamburg seemed a bit helpless when they faced Bayern Munich in the away game last season, then tonight, the helpless became Bayern!"

"Guardiola's team can't even play a threatening attack against Hamburg tonight!..."

Amidst the deafening cheers from the fans at the People's Park Stadium, Pan Yi also excitedly celebrated the goal with everyone one by one.

This means that they have killed the game and have completed their revenge on Bayern!

More importantly, the victory of this game will greatly boost the team's confidence, even Pan Yi's own confidence!

They beat Bayern!
It was the last Bundesliga champion and the last Champions League champion!

So, what opponent is there to fear now?
……

Since the overall situation was set, both sides were a little slack in stoppage time of the game.

As a result, Robben used his personal breakthrough to get back a goal, but Hamburg scored a header from Van Dijk in the last corner kick before the end of the game.

In the end, Hamburg beat Bayern 4:1!

This score allowed Hamburg to win the Super Cup this year, and also set several records.

This is the first German Super Cup champion in Hamburg's 126-year history!
Of course, part of the reason here is that the history of the German Super Cup is not too long, nor is it held too systematically.

In 1977, the first match was held between Borussia Borussia and Hamburg, and Borussia eventually won the first German Super Cup.

Then it was several years.

In the second German Super Cup in 1983, Bayern relied on a penalty shootout to defeat Hamburg to win the championship.

Yes, Hamburg participated in the previous two editions, but they failed to win the championship.

Since then, the German Super Cup has been officially recognized, and it has repeatedly jumped between the League Cup and the Super Cup, but in short, Hamburg has not been able to get involved in this trophy once.

This time, the burger finally made history!

At the same time, this is also Pan Yi's first championship since he coached independently!
Although it's just a Super Bowl, it's still memorable.

This is also Bayern's worst loss in an official game in more than two years since losing 2011:2 to Dortmund in 5.

For Guardiola, it broke a record that he is very proud of.

这也是自2009年3月1日巴萨以3比4负马竞后，瓜迪奥拉在四年多时间里执教的207场比赛中，首次丢了4个球！

Don't look at him just now thinking that the Super Bowl is not important, but after losing so much in his first official game, Gua Shuai is still a little embarrassed.

After the game, he even scolded the players, and even slapped his lover Tiago in the face inadvertently.

This picture was spread all over the world through the broadcast lens, and was also ridiculed by fans as a slap in the face of a fan.

But Guardiola quickly returned to normal, especially when shaking hands with Pan Yi again.

He generously admitted his tactical mistakes in this game: "I still underestimate you, and I am not your opponent at all in the midfield."

Pan Yi smiled modestly: "You guys, Neuer, the goalkeeper, is not on. It still has a great impact on the possession of the ball in the backcourt. I took advantage."

Guardiola shrugged his shoulders: "Even if he is not injured, at most it will be better to play the ball in the backcourt, and it will not affect the midfielder's possession rate. I lost my temper with Thiago just because he was in the field today. The defense in the midfield was so poor that it failed to limit the performance of your trio at all."

Then, Guardiola chatted with Pan Yi about tactical issues.

"Before the game, we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of 433, but I really didn't expect that you can come up with such a good solution! The full back is retracted? It's a genius idea!"

Guardiola was full of praise, and then winked at Pan Yi slyly: "This tactic is really good, but it's mine now."

The retracting full-back's style of play requires a lot of full-back ability, but Guardiola still has great confidence in Alaba and Ram.

He felt that he could also learn from Pan Yi's style of play to make up for the shortcomings of his formation.

Pan Yi laughed and said, "Take it, you're welcome."

There is no so-called plagiarism or non-plagiarism in the tactical formation itself, only if it is suitable or not.

There is no absolutely awesome tactics, but to see how the coach tailors the best style of play for the players of the team.

No two teams have exactly the same players.

Just like when Barcelona or Spain were invincible all over the world, would it be useful for you to copy their formation?

There are not many teams that can play that kind of pass and control. Do you know that they don't have that ability?

If you really copy it mechanically, you will only die ugly.

Of course, Pan Yi knew that once Guardiola decided to "copy" which formation to play, he must have his own ideas.

Including Klopp is actually the same.

Both of them were die-hard supporters of the 433 formation in the Premier League era, but they had two completely different styles in the actual implementation process.

The only thing in common is that both types of 433 can play the ability of the team players, both are very strong, and both can win!

As for Pan Yi, anyway, today's style of play, he originally took it from Gua Shuai, and now "returning" it to him is a matter of course.

Take it from melons, use it from melons, and the timeline completes a perfect closed loop.

"I'm just afraid that my players' execution ability is not as good as yours." Guardiola suddenly sighed, "Sometimes I feel that it is difficult for me to fully convey my tactical ideas to their heads."

"You have been working hard, how could they keep up with your thinking?" Pan Yi blurted out.

"To live?"

"Uh... that is, you still need more patience. The tactics you think of are always more complicated, and it takes time to understand, doesn't it?"

"Okay." Guardiola nodded, "Maybe I often forget that I just came to Bayern, instead of staying with those players for many years like in Barcelona."

In fact, there is one more point.

Guardiola has been a member of Barcelona's youth training system since he was a child. He has experienced Barcelona's teams of all ages: from the youth team to the second team, and finally entered the first team.

The same is true for this generation of Barcelona young talents represented by Messi, Iniesta and Harvey.

They are in the same line in the entire tactical system built by Cruyff, and they will naturally be familiar with and use this set of play that focuses on pass and control.

And now that Guardiola has come to Germany, a football country that has paid more attention to strength and confrontation in the past, it will definitely take some time to implement his ideal style of play.

"But your players are still very good." Guardiola said again, "Let's talk about an attack in the first half."

"When your attack on the right was surrounded by us, De Bruyne in the midfield looked up and found that we had a limited number of people on the other side who could invest in defense. Then he immediately chose a long pass and found a lift. Kante with the ball in his hands."

"At this time, Kanter and Sun Xingmin are on the weak side of our defense, because our defensive center of gravity is still on the left side one second before, and it takes time to transfer defensive power to the right side. And your players are very We observed that in a short period of time and then used the width of the pitch well to mobilize our defence."

"This transfer caused Sun Xingmin's breakthrough and formed a threatening shot. To be honest, few teams in Europe can achieve this kind of overall coordination and transfer awareness. Of course, it also includes passing. De Bruyne, he's a really good player."

Pan Yi touched his nose.

Do I want to tell you that De Bruyne, whom you are full of praise, is actually your future favorite?

At this time, the stadium staff came to remind that the Super Bowl awards ceremony was about to begin, which interrupted the long conversation between the two coaches.

The two also smiled and shook hands again and then separated.

While watching the Hamburg players and coaches hold up the Super Cup trophy from a distance, Guardiola was also thoughtful.

In fact, to some extent, this fiasco was not necessarily a bad thing for him.

Losing the Super Cup, especially after losing three goals, is a blow to Guardiola, but it is not the end of the world.

This is his first official game after taking over Bayern. After encountering such a loss, he can see the problems facing Bayern more clearly, and at the same time, he can make targeted adjustments to the team.

At the same time, he did see the true strength of Hamburg and the power of Pan Yixin's tactics.

"This team will indeed be Bayern's biggest opponent this season. I have to study how to deal with them!" Guardiola finally thought.
