Chapter 237 Is This the Group of Death?

Forwards: Neymar, Messi, Pedro.

Midfield: Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi.

Defenders: Adriano, Bartra, Pique, Alves.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

On October 10rd, at the People's Park Stadium, Barcelona coach Martino really arranged a starting lineup that was almost exactly the same as Pan Yi expected.

In fact, Barcelona's current lineup is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than whether Fabregas has played.

If Xiaofa starts, he will generally stand in the center position, while Messi will pull back to the right.

And like today, Pedro starts, so Messi is standing in the middle.

However, according to Messi's habit, even if he is in the middle, he will often go to the right to support the attack, so as to cause Barcelona's offensive strong side.

Another point is the central defender position. In this game, Martino used Bartra and Pique as partners instead of Mascherano.

It is said that before the game, Xiao Ma was a little injured, maybe this is also a helpless move.

But it's also a boon for Hamburg at the same time.

After all, Pony has a large defensive coverage area, precise positioning, and strong stealing ability. He is also tireless on the court. Whether he is playing as a left center back, a right center back, or a defender in the center of the three defenders, Mascherano can do it well. complete the task.

It can be said that after Mascherano withdrew as a central defender, Barcelona really solved the defensive problem in the midfield.

He is not on the field today, and the weakness between Bartra, who replaced him as the left center back, and left back Adriano will be further magnified, and it will be easier to be caught by Pan Yi's tactics and killed!

……

The starting lineup for Hamburg is currently the strongest lineup that Pan Yi can produce.

Forwards: Sun Xingmin, Vardy, Salah.

Midfield: Kante, Casemiro, De Bruyne.

Defenders: Robertson, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Carvajal.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Now that Barcelona's lineup and style of play are basically under Pan Yi's control, the targeted tactics that Hamburg arranged before the game can obviously also come in handy.

The tip of the needle is against the wheat awn, play him to death!
To achieve this goal, it is natural to use the strongest and best execution players.

After all, the personal abilities of Barcelona players are definitely the best in the world!
No matter how good the tactics are, they need matching personnel to execute them.

Otherwise, if the strength of the players on both sides is too far apart, to the point where three or four players cannot guard against one, then the tactical arrangement will largely be meaningless.

Taking today's game as an example, Pan Yi recognized that the left flank composed of Adriano and Bartra is the breakthrough point, but if the ability of his players is not even better than Adriano in the situation of 2v1 Yano Qiang, what's the point?

Of course, it is very difficult to have such a situation in Hamburg now, but Pan Yi hopes to use a more secure plan to implement this tactic.

In one-on-one, Carvajal or Salah can actually suppress Adriano.

Wouldn't it be easier to use Pan Yi's tactics to form two against one?
"After the Champions League group draw, everyone said that our group is the group of death. But I hope that after today's game, everyone will find that this group is indeed the group of death, but the three of them died. None of our business."

In the locker room, Pan Yi was doing the final mobilization.

With the correct tactics, the confidence and fighting spirit of the Hamburg players are also needed in order to fully exert the power of the tactics.

So it is necessary to step on Barcelona at this time.

"Think about the game at San Siro two weeks ago. They were also considered a giant, a giant that could crush us, but they were not defeated by us? Barcelona is the same."

"So the so-called death group is not scary at all, and the rich teams are not difficult to play at all. As long as you follow my arrangement and follow my tactics, I believe that we will definitely get a satisfactory result."

"Today we are at home, and the support of the fans will also give us strength. We want to let the fans who support us at the People's Park Stadium see that even if we face Barcelona, ​​we can still play the football we want, and at the same time Beautiful football!"

"Go, step onto the pitch, and fight for our victory!"

The players responded in unison, followed by applause, shouts, and roars!
……

Only 10 minutes into the game, whether it was the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, or the commentators and media reporters, they all saw a bit weird situation.

The games between the two sides are basically concentrated on the left side of Barcelona, ​​that is, the right side of Hamburg!

Especially on the Hamburg side, Carvajal's insertion was frequently used, and Salah and his crossovers were used to play a threatening attack, and Vardy and De Bruyne formed three or four good shots in a row. .

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, encountered great difficulties.

Their offensive organization often suffers heavy losses in the ball stage.

Due to Hamburg's targeted man-marking, the two wingers will take the initiative to move in to help the central midfielder Kante, who is standing at the back, to stare at Barcelona's two midfielders Xavi and Iniesta, forming a numerical advantage in the middle, and giving them a short space. The path of the opponent's full-back.

Once the Barcelona full-back takes the ball, the Hamburg winger will immediately turn around and press the opponent's full-back. The running route from the inside to the outside also cuts off the connection between Barcelona's side and center.

As a result, whether it is Adriano or Alves taking the ball, they will face a situation where no one can pass, and they can only break through with the ball.

Alves can sometimes pass the defense of Hamburg winger Sun Xingmin through his super personal ability, but he can't pass the defense of full-back Robertson.

And Adriano's side is even worse.

Due to the inductiveness of Pan Yi's tactics, the ball came to him more often.

And he is often entangled by Salah immediately when he is dribbling the ball. Often, the ball may have been lost before Carvajal has stepped forward to steal it.

This is what Pan Yi asked before the game, to lure the opponent's ball to the area where our side has the advantage to strangle.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War Nine Lands" said: Therefore, in the matter of soldiers, it is necessary to follow the enemy's intentions, join the enemy all the way, and kill generals from thousands of miles away.

That's pretty much what it means.

When Barcelona gets the ball in the middle, because Hamburg actively narrows the wing and the full backs retract, Barcelona's three midfielders will immediately face the counter-defense of several Hamburg players, and they can only distribute the ball to the side. road, especially on the left.

So, poor Adriano will face Hamburg's offensive strong side composed of Salah and Carvajal alone in a huge space, and it will be easy to be intercepted again and be played 2 on 1. .

And Hamburg's continuous onslaught from the right finally paid off in the 18th minute.

Carvajal and Salah played an exquisite two-for-one cooperation. Carvajal dribbled the ball and left Adriano far behind.

When the opponent's central defender Bartra came to defend, Carvajal quickly sent a direct pass to the feet of Salah in front.

Salah is just outside the right corner of Barcelona's penalty area, just in the gap between Baltra and Pique.

When the ball was passed, the Egyptian winger stopped the ball and turned around, dribbled the ball horizontally and inwardly, wiped Pique directly, and then used his left foot to send a through pass behind the back of Barcelona's entire defense line. .

At this time, everyone saw that Vardy started suddenly, broke away from Alves' defense, rushed to the front of the small penalty area, and after catching up with Salah's pass, he shot directly.

The ball crashed into the net, 1:0!

"The goal is scored!!! Vardy opened the scoring for Hamburg!"

"In less than 20 minutes, Hamburg broke through Barcelona's defense with a clear attack!"

"During the whole process, the Barcelona players didn't even touch the ball, and felt completely stunned by Hamburg's offense!..."

In an instant, the entire People's Park stadium was boiling!
All the burger fans are cheering like crazy.

Pan Yi also jumped up excitedly, cheering loudly for the players.

Tactical design is important, but it still depends on the degree of execution of the players and the final result after execution.

If the scenes are beautiful and the offense is fierce, but there is only thunder and no rain, then it is meaningless.

Facing a strong team like Barcelona, ​​if you take advantage and don't score, you will be punished!

On the opposite side, there is a superstar like Messi who can change the game with a flash of inspiration!
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, and Pan Yi can take a long breath.

Today's tactics are successful, and the progress of the game is also developing in the ideal direction!
……

"In 18 minutes, Adriano's left flank was penetrated by Hamburg's attack group and created five scoring opportunities, including this goal. This is definitely not a coincidence!" Guest commentator Zhang Lu analyzed this goal.

"Director Zhang means that Hamburg has made targeted arrangements for Barcelona's weakness on the left?" Zhan Jun, today's commentator, asked.

"Hey, yes." Zhang Lu said, "This is what coach Pan Yi often does. Obviously, all the players in Hamburg today seem to be deliberately driving the development of Barcelona's game in the direction of Adriano. "

Zhan Jun: "Let me take a look at the 20-minute heat map of player activities... Tsk tsk, indeed, almost 80% of the activities of both sides were completed on the left side of Barcelona, ​​which is really rare."

Zhang Lu: "This is an extreme targeting. Pan Yi should have thoroughly studied all Barcelona's tactics and player characteristics before using this extreme overload play. But he still succeeded."

Zhan Jun: "Then there is nothing Barcelona can do?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. Barcelona players have strong personal abilities, especially in the midfield. If one is not careful, Hamburg may still be caught off guard..."

On the field.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes of Hamburg's goal, Barcelona played a good attack as if waking up from a dream.

Adriano crossed the ball diagonally to Neymar, who blew through the halfway into the penalty area, but shot just wide of the left post.

This time, it was Neymar's retracement and reverse penetration as a supporting midfielder, who got rid of the defense of Hamburg's defensive midfielder Casemiro at that moment.

When Neymar retreated, Messi also pulled to the side. This action also affected Casemiro's judgment, causing his position to be a bit out of place.

Pan Yi, who saw it clearly from the sidelines, immediately made corresponding on-the-spot adjustments.

He asked the two central defenders Van Dijk and Rudiger to pay attention to Casemiro's position. When Brazil's iron waist marks Neymar or Messi, he must make up this position to avoid misplaced situations from happening again.

This method really had an immediate effect. In the next 20 minutes or so, Hamburg never showed a similar space for Neymar to break through wantonly.

In the second half, Barcelona's nightmare was far from over.

The offensive organization they are proud of has completely lost their own advantages. They often can only fall in the backcourt, but cannot enter the core area of ​​​​the midfield.

Adriano, who was tortured enough, kicked a little anxiously. Once when defending Salah's breakthrough, he pulled the Egyptian from behind angrily and received a yellow card as expected.

And then when Carvajal or Salah broke through again, he seemed a little timid, and it looked like he had completely given up on defense.

"Poor kid, he shouldn't have nightmares at night, right?" Pan Yi thought to himself.

Obviously, Martino also saw the dilemma on Adriano's side, and he probably didn't want Adriano to continue to have nightmares.

He started making substitutions, replacing Adriano with Alba.

But unfortunately, the only change that this substitution made to the situation on the court was that the tortured person changed from Adriano to Alba.

Just 5 minutes later, it was still on the right, and it was still the cooperation of Carvajal and Salah.

After receiving a pass from Carvajal, Salah dribbled the ball into the right rib.

After he tried unsuccessfully to break into the penalty area, he suddenly changed to the bottom. After throwing away Alba who was defending him, he sent another inverted triangle pass to the left of the penalty spot.

Vardy pulled out of the penalty area this time, and Sun Xingmin on the left suddenly slanted into the penalty area, grabbed Salah's pass and formed a shot.

But his shot was blocked by Pique and fell to the ground, which almost resulted in an own goal.

But after this corner kick was taken, Van Dijk overwhelmed Bartra, who was defending him, and blasted the ball into the Barcelona goal like a mountain on top!

2: 0!

"The ball went in again!!!!!!"

"At 60 minutes into the game, Hamburg is already leading by two goals!"

"No one expected that against Barcelona, ​​which has always been proud of its ball-handling ability, Hamburg still showed a very strong offensive momentum!"

"They did not play defensive counterattacks like other teams, but bravely fought against Barcelona and achieved an overwhelming victory!"

"So far, Barcelona haven't had a single shot on goal!"

"With the current situation, we have to wonder, is this really the so-called group of death?"

"Or is this the group of death for Hamburg?"

……

2:0, this is the final score of the game.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that in the last half hour of the game, if it wasn't for Vardy, Salah, Sun Xingmin, including Wu Lei who came off the bench and suddenly "happy", the score would definitely not be as it is now. "Reasonable".

In other words, Hamburg firmly controlled the initiative throughout the game. Apart from relying on the personal ability of the stars to create some breakthroughs to seek opportunities for Barcelona, ​​almost all offensive lines were cut off by Hamburg.

This shocked everyone, after all, this is Barcelona!Few teams can make Barcelona so embarrassed.

After the game, the picture of Hamburg head coach Pan Yi going straight to Messi also attracted the attention of many people.

I remember that when Milan defeated Barcelona before, Pan Yi also "robbed" Messi's jersey after tearing apart many players, basically confirming his identity as a Messi fan.

But this time, Pan Yi not only snatched Messi's jersey, but also took out a signature pen from somewhere and asked Messi to sign his name on the jersey.

It means that Messi has a good temper, otherwise this coach who always leads the team to beat up his team and then runs up to ask for jerseys, would have turned away if he had changed his face...

This kind of behavior makes the fans wonder, isn't it that Pan Yi actually likes Messi, but is developing a side business of selling signed jerseys?
Just like some football anchors in Longguo?
Of course, these suspicions are groundless. Pan Yi definitely didn't take the jersey to sell, and he still doesn't like these little money.

Not for Valentina!
Since he released Valentina's pigeons last time and did not attend her birthday party, Pan Yi has been "hunted down" by Valentina.

If you don't send her a jersey autographed by Messi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end this matter.

……

In terms of technical statistics after the game, Barcelona is only ahead of Hamburg in a few statistics.

The number of fouls is 13:8, and the number of yellow cards is 4:0.

Also, the ball possession rate is 52%: 48%, Barcelona wins face to face.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Barcelona's possession of the ball is basically in the backcourt, while Hamburg's possession of the ball is all in the offensive third area, and the quality is completely different.

It can be seen from the data below.

Corners: Barcelona 3, Hamburg 12.

Shots: Barcelona 5, Hamburg 20.

Shots on target: 1 for Barcelona, ​​11 for Hamburg.

Expected goals: Barcelona 0.55, Hamburg 2.92.

From the perspective of personal ratings, the goalkeeper Valdes scored the highest in Barcelona with 7.3 points.

And the lowest scoring...Leftback Adriano 5.6 points.

The second-lowest scorer is substitute left-back Alba with 5.8 points.

Under Hamburg's pressing trap and right-sided attack, the two men were really tortured for the whole game.

Fortunately, Barcelona coach Martino kindly asked Alba to share some of the damage, otherwise Adriano really wanted to see a psychologist after the game.

And on Hamburg's side, who exactly hit Adriano and Alba so hard?
Just look at the ratings.

Comrade Carvajal, the right back who did not have any direct goals or assists, scored a game-high 8.7 points!
In this game, he contributed 13 key passes alone and created 3 scoring opportunities. This is why Hamburg can beat Barcelona offensively today.

The accomplice was the right winger Salah who partnered with him on the wing. He also scored a high score of 8.3 and had a direct assist once.

These statistics and scores also made everyone exclaim, "Pan Yi's tactics are really not simple!"

In comparison, Barcelona coach Martino really pales in comparison.

Whether it was pre-match preparations, formations, targeted arrangements, or on-the-spot command, Martino lost!

What is even more surprising is that although Barcelona players are better than Hamburg players in terms of personal skills, in this game Hamburg behaved like a team that is better at passing and controlling, skillfully cooperating with the offense in Barcelona's backcourt .

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​they can only have one chance to shoot the goal. In fact, strictly speaking, no one can threaten the goal guarded by Navas. This is the most embarrassing and puzzling.

"World Sports News" wrote a commentary after the game, thinking that judging from this game, Barcelona led by Martino does not seem to be at the same level as Hamburg.

"But any fan who watched the game, or just watched the highlights, can easily come to one conclusion: Barça showed nothing. It includes passion, fighting spirit, positivity and so on, but the most important thing is Holistic tactics."

"The two teams in this game are not at the same level at all. It looks like Hamburg is a real giant, while Barcelona is like an amateur team who doesn't know where to play wild football..."

"World Sports Daily" appealed that Barcelona must seize the time to find a solution to the problem, otherwise, after facing AC Milan in the home and away scenes, it is likely to put Barcelona in a desperate situation.

The "Bild" used a large chapter to analyze the details of the game, and praised Pan Yi's formation tirelessly.

The largest sports newspaper in Germany believes that Pan Yi's team has completely suppressed Barcelona tactically.

"Hamburg taught Barcelona a lesson, and Pan Yi also taught Martino a vivid lesson. This game let us all see clearly what the most advanced tactical play in European football is like, and what it is like. Let us see what the most extreme targeting tactics look like."

"Pan Yi made very careful arrangements for Barcelona's relatively weak left. Almost all of his tactics revolved around how to drive the ball there. In order to achieve this goal, Hamburg almost put Barcelona on the left. All the passages on the right have been cut off."

"This makes it impossible for Barcelona to play the center attack and the combination of side and center that Barcelona are best at, and Martino has not responded effectively to this. He just replaced Adriano who had a yellow card. Just come to Alba and continue to bear the fire."

"And after Barcelona only caused a threat through Neymar's flash of inspiration, Pan Yi immediately made fine-tuning on this and prevented such things from happening again in subsequent games."

"The gap between the two coaches in on-the-spot command can be seen. To put it bluntly, Pan Yi and his Hamburger's tactical quality in this game is about 10 ropes away from Martino! ..."

　Thank you for your collective reward!
