Chapter 239 Come to the Premier League to prove yourself

For Hamburg's victory over Ajax, the domestic media in Longguo actually reported more.

However, the focus of their reports is not the game itself, but Wu Lei's goal in the game!
Before Wu Lei, Sun Xiang, Hao Junmin and Dong Fangzhuo all played in the Champions League, but none of them scored a goal.

Therefore, the lore goal scored by Wu Lei in the game is still the No.1 goal of the Dragon Country player in the Champions League!
Of course, this will cause a sensation in the Dragon Kingdom, and all kinds of flattery will follow.

"There is only one football king in Hamburg, and that is the martial arts king!"

However, in an interview with reporters, Wu Lei said that the so-called "Dragon Kingdom Champions League Goal No. He, Vardy and others study.

Now Hamburg's frontline competition is very fierce, and he also needs to work harder in order to strive to play more games.

At the same time, he also thanked Pan Yi for his trust in him.

It is this kind of trust that allows Wu Lei to often appear on the court as a surprise player, and gives him the opportunity to perform in the Champions League, and finally scored this historical goal!

……

After returning to Hamburg, the team rested for a day, and Pan Yi soon took the team to the southwestern part of Germany to challenge Freiburg away.

This is the 10th round of the Bundesliga.

Since this game is only 3 days away from the last Champions League group match, and it is a continuous away game, there is a problem with the physical recovery of the players.

Under Pintus' suggestion, Pan Yi also carried out a vigorous rotation.

Basically all starters except goalkeeper Keylor Navas got a chance to rest.

Although the home team Freiburg is the main force, but currently ranked 17th in the Bundesliga standings, their strength is actually limited.

In the game, when facing Hamburg's midfield composed of Makoto Hasebe, Paulinho and Charhanoglu, they did not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

What's more, Hamburg's forward line also has a powerful center Mitrovic who is playing better and better, and the combination of Long Guo's double-flying wing Wu Lei + Lin Zhijian, Freiburg's defense will soon be overwhelmed.

In the 23rd minute, Hamburg's Trident played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. Lin Zhijian found Mitrovic in the penalty area with a half-high ball, and the Serbian tower lightly headed the ball. Shoot and score the first goal of the game!
In the current Hamburg, if they can score first when facing a weak team, it often means one word: steady!
Just like their previous opponents, Freiburg had to move forward after falling behind in order to try to strengthen the attack and counterattack.

But such an approach is undoubtedly asking for trouble in front of Hamburg, which is getting stronger and stronger-even if it is a substitute lineup, Hamburg can firmly control the rhythm of the game!

In the 39th minute, it was Mitrovic's header back. Makoto Hasebe set up a cannon with his foot, and Charhanoglu who rushed up from behind shot angrily, and hit a weird S-shaped shot. arc.

Freiburg goalkeeper Baumann had nothing to do about it. Before he even judged the trajectory of the ball, the ball was already spinning in the net behind him.

0:2, in front of such a Hamburg team, this has basically declared the fate of Freiburg's failure in this game.

After 70 minutes in the second half of the game, Pan Yi even replaced Jansen and Wu Lei, who had come off the bench in the Champions League, and replaced them with players like Best, Arslan, and Jonathan Ta. The third-team "hukou players" come to exercise.

But the performance of these teenagers did not disappoint Pan Yi.

In the 88th minute, that is, 2 minutes before the end of the game, Arslan sent a through pass, Best scored easily with a rubbing shot, and the final score was fixed at 0:3.

Hamburg easily scored three points again!
And then, in the 11th round of the Bundesliga on November 2, the fully rested Hamburg seemed even more comfortable.

Although they are facing Mönchengladbach, which is stronger and currently ranked fifth in the standings, at home, their lineup is also stronger!
This time Pan Yi put out a half-rotation lineup, the purpose is to stay strong for the second Champions League group match against Ajax four days later.

Stayed, but not completely.

After all, Ajax may not be stronger than Borussia Mönchengladbach.

So it’s almost split into half and half. Anyway, no matter how the players in Hamburg are arranged and combined, they always play very good results-provided that they don’t mess around, such as letting Kanter play center forward.

In tonight's game, the midfielder of De Bruyne + Makoto Hasebe + Paulinho still suppressed the combination of Borussia 442's two central midfielders, Xhaka + Kramer.

One variable is that it rained lightly in Hamburg today, and the venue was a bit slippery.

So Pan Yi asked the players to play more concisely and directly.

Some small coordination that used to be required to play in the midfield is now omitted, and more direct passes are used to hit the opponent's back, using the speed of the striker to attack the opponent's defense.

As a result, De Bruyne frequently sent through balls, allowing Vardy to receive the ball again and again to shoot.

In terms of defense, Pan Yi required that the frontcourt should be pressed more fiercely and quickly, so that he could take advantage of the slippery characteristics of the rainy day to cause more mistakes by the opponent.

Obviously, Borussia Mönchengladbach seemed a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the away game, especially under the pressure of Hamburg's high position, the situation was very embarrassing.

Only in the 6th minute, Borussia defender Strands made a mistake in a pass. Sun Xingmin and Vardy, who played right wingers in this game, entered the penalty area after a two-to-one collision with the wall at the front of the penalty area.

Sun Xingmin broke through Borussia's other central defender Janczyk in the penalty area and hit the goal with a kick, opening the scoring for Hamburg.

After 10 minutes, this time it was an offensive cooperation from the left.

Wu Lei made a forced breakthrough and made a diagonal pass behind him. Paulinho successfully got the ball in the counter-offside and formed a single shot.

The England center hit the empty goal with ease, 2:0!

In the second half of the game, Pan Yi continued to deploy troops and let some starters rest to prepare for the Champions League group stage.

Neither side has been able to score.

Of course, it was not because Hamburg did not create a good scoring opportunity, but in the second half of the game, the new German goalkeeper Ter Stegen was like a spiderman possessed, blocking all the shots of the Hamburg players.

But the score of 2:0 is enough.

After independently occupying the top of the Bundesliga standings, Hamburg has won two consecutive victories, scoring five goals and keeping its position without conceding a goal.

However, their lead did not expand.

In these two rounds, Bayern and Dortmund also achieved two consecutive victories.

Bayern narrowly beat Hertha Berlin 3:2, and then beat Hoffenheim 2:1 away.

而多特蒙德则要轻松一些，他们在鲁尔区德比中以3：1力克沙尔克04，并在接下来的一场比赛中以6：1狂扫斯图加特。

As a result, these three teams are still ranked in the top three with 31 points, 29 points, and 28 points respectively, forming the first group in the Bundesliga championship this season.

And fourth-ranked Leverkusen is a bit behind.

他们在第10轮以2：1战胜了奥格斯堡，但却在第11轮比赛中客场意外地以0：1的比分输给了目前排名倒数第一的升班马布伦瑞克！

Brunswick's fast-paced striker Bella Raby took advantage of a counter-attack in the 80th minute to score the winner.

(As an aside, maybe it was because of his excellent performance in this game that Leverkusen bought him later.)
This defeat put Leverkusen 6 points behind Hamburg at the top of the list, and also made head coach Finn Hyypia controversial.

On the second day of the game, many German media slammed Hypia's formation and on-the-spot command in this game.

The main reason is that Hyypia actually put Kisling, the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season, on the bench when facing Brunswick's defensive and counterattack tactics predictably, until the score fell behind and then thought of replacing him. .

On the other hand, Brunswick's two wing breakthroughs were very sharp, and the counterattack was also very fast, especially Bella Rabbi's side.

But Hypia seems to have completely ignored the obvious explosive point of the opponent, and did not make any targeted defense, but allowed Bellarabi to break through Emre Can, who is not explosive enough, and eventually caused bad results .

In fact, if it is in the usual season, Leverkusen has played 11 rounds this season with 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, which is considered very good, but they have three terrifying opponents this year who are aiming to win the championship.

Dortmund with 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Bayern Munich with 9 wins and 2 draws.

There are 10 wins and 1 tie for Burger! ! !

This is destined to raise the standard of winning the Bundesliga this season to an unprecedented height, and these teams are simply not allowed to make any mistakes.

But at this juncture, Leverkusen lost to the bottom one, and the head coach will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.

In the face of accusations, the hot-tempered former Liverpool defender Hyypia was not soft-spoken. He publicly criticized the performance of the players in this game, believing that the failure was caused by the players' failure to faithfully implement the tactical instructions of the head coach.

Including Emre Can, who was repeatedly blasted by Bellarabi with speed, Hyypia also believed that he had failed his trust and failed to complete his defensive task.

In fact, Hypia's doing so also reflects from the side how much pressure the top three in Germany have put on him, especially Hamburg.

Because it is normal for Bayern and Dortmund to be in the front, but Hamburg is behind Leverkusen all the year round.

But no matter what, Hypia's approach is wrong.

Under normal circumstances, a head coach should not dump the blame on the players!

After such remarks were exposed, it led to instability in the Leverkusen locker room.

It is said that Emre Can had a big quarrel with Hypia after a training session, and the team veteran Kisling also sided with Emre Can, thinking that Hypia had gone too far.

In this incident, the German media also accused Hyypia one after another.

They all generally believe that Hypia's own command has problems, and the responsibility should not be shifted to the players.

"After losing to the deputy squad leader, Hypia was very angry when he was thrown away by the first group. This is understandable, but the problem is that he should reflect on his formation in this game."

"I didn't let Kisling's high point start, and I didn't make timely and powerful adjustments to the disadvantages on the field. The blame can't be let the players bear it?"

"There are indeed certain problems with the player's state, but Hyypia should reflect on himself instead of blindly blaming others."

The "Bild" said: "The head coach of a team should never do this. Compared with Hyypia, who was furious and unreasonable, Pan Yi was much smarter when he lost in Hamburg. Perhaps Said, Pan Yi is much cuter than Hypia!"

Indeed, the German media now only praises Pan Yi.

Of course, in Hamburg this season, Pan Yi has not had the opportunity to "show" Hyypia the correct approach of a head coach after losing.

After all, Hamburg has never lost a game!
But looking back on last season, after Hamburg suffered a defeat, Pan Yi would indeed take the initiative to take the responsibility on himself instead of blaming the players for no reason.

Especially accusing in public.

If a player has any problems, Pan Yi will also go to him in the team and talk to him in private, and then analyze the problem together, and then solve the problem.

Saying this kind of thing in front of outsiders has no benefit other than increasing the team's conflicts!
Not to mention the pressure of results, wasn't there a lot of pressure when Hamburg was eliminated in the German Cup at the beginning of last season and lost to the bottom team in the league?But he would not do such a mentally handicapped thing.

The German media's praise for Pan Yi is not only because of the atmosphere in the locker room that he handles so well as the head coach, but also because of Hamburg's good results.

On the one hand, Hamburg has successively defeated strong teams in Serie A, La Liga, and Eredivisie in the Champions League, ranking first in the death group, which can be regarded as earning a lot of face for German football;

On the other hand, Hamburg is also making great strides in the Bundesliga. Under such strong pressure from Bayern Munich and Dortmund, they did not panic at all and still firmly held the first position.

"Hamburg has won 6 consecutive victories. Even with frequent large-scale rotations, they still have a way to win. If they continue to be strong in the future, they are really likely to win the Bundesliga championship!"

"Unbelievable! At the beginning of the summer, many people said that Hamburg was a flash in the pan, and that it was just luck to get the runner-up last season. When Pan Yi said that his goal was to win the championship, countless people laughed at him for being overconfident. Now? The reality gave those who underestimated Hamburg The person slapped hard!"

"People have to admit that Pan Yi is a magical and capable head coach. Forget his age, he is not inferior to any famous coach in today's football, because he has built Hamburg into a championship team!"

"Pan Yi is like a messenger sent by God to Hamburg, and this messenger has brought Hamburg one victory after another."

In fact, not to mention German fans, even Hamburg fans and Longguo fans, when Pan Yi shouted the slogan of winning the Bundesliga championship, his first thought was "Impossible?"

After all, Bayern Munich, which won the championship last season, is the Bayern that created the highest scoring record in the history of the Bundesliga.

As for Dortmund, although Bayern was pulled from the championship last season, the team is still full of stars and outstanding strength.

If Hamburg wants to win the championship, it must break through the siege of these two teams. The difficulty can be imagined.

To play steadily in a year's competition, you can hardly make any mistakes!

Look at Leverkusen, they are gradually falling behind in such fierce competition.

But Hamburg held up.

And they are even more stable than Bayern and Dortmund.

Whether it is home or away, whether it is the main substitute, no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, Pan Yi's team can always find a corresponding countermeasure and then defeat the opponent.

What makes the fans support Pan Yi even more is that he brought a gorgeous offense to Hamburg.

Everyone says that "defense wins the championship" is the truth. This argument has been passed down since AC Milan's 58 unbeaten games, but Pan Yi obviously wants to break this statement.

Hamburg relies on offense to crush opponents in almost every game!

Even facing AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League group stage, or even facing an offensive player like Barcelona, ​​Hamburg was not afraid at all, and still defeated the opponent with offense!
And Hamburg's offense is strong, but its defense is not weak, and there are also a lot of zero seal games!

It also has a "offense is the best defense" feeling.

Such a burger looks really invincible!

Therefore, although Bayern and Dortmund are still chasing after them, more and more media and fans believe that Hamburg can win the championship.

For Hamburg fans, this season they really see hope, and it seems that they can really pursue the championship that was originally out of reach.

This kind of ecstasy is difficult to describe in words.

The same is true for Dragon Country fans.

For them, wherever Pan Yi is, which team is their home team.

Now the home team of Hamburg has hope to win the championship, can they be unhappy?
……

Of course, not everyone thinks that burgers are good, and there are still some people who are singing the opposite.

In the "Sky Sports" interview program, former Manchester United star Gary Neville expressed his disdain.

He believes that Hamburg can be successful now only because they are in the Bundesliga.

Bundesliga teams tend to focus too much on offense and not enough on defense, which allows a team like Hamburg to play a smooth offense.

And if Hamburg is placed in the Premier League, it will definitely be beaten by the strong defense of the Premier League team, and the offense will also be fragmented, and it will not be effective at all.

Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher retorted: "If Hamburg were only playing in the Bundesliga, you could say that. But they have also been successful in the Champions League, facing Milan, Barcelona, ​​​​Ajax. Such a strong team won three consecutive victories, how do you explain that?"

Neville smiled and said: "These three teams are not Premier League teams, and their style of play is also soft. Just watch, if Hamburg meets Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool in the knockout round... oh , Sorry, there is no Liverpool in the Champions League...haha..."

Last season, Liverpool only finished seventh in the Premier League and naturally did not qualify for the Champions League.

And Neville, who was a Manchester United player in the player era, couldn't help but joke a few words every time he faced Carragher.

Before Carragher could reply, another Manchester United star, Roy Keane, also said: "I agree with what Gary said. The players in Hamburg were trained by Pan Yi, the coach of the Dragon Kingdom, to be a bunch of softies, and they would fall down in midfield. Back and forth. And now the players' defense is really not strong enough, if they meet me back then, hehe, it is absolutely impossible for them to pass through the midfield so easily!"

As a tough guy on the court, Keane does seem to be qualified to say such things.

But at the same time, this is also a manifestation of "thickness of the past and thinness of the present".

In fact, football tactics have undergone great changes in the past ten years. If a team from ten years ago were to compete across time and space with the current Hamburg, the high probability of winning would be Hamburg.

After all, whether it is the running distance of the players, the degree of coverage of the court, the meticulousness of tactical requirements, and the clarity of player responsibilities, they are no longer what they used to be.

It even includes rules.

Let’s just talk about the tough defense that Keane said in his mouth. If he still frequently hurts people with flying tackles on the court today, he may not be able to play a few games in a season.

At this time, host Lineker said:
"I like the way Hamburg is playing now."

"They like to control the ball, but they are not obsessed with it, and they speed up when they need to speed up."

"They like to attack, but they are not ashamed to defend. When necessary, they will still make certain concessions in the midfield to find better opportunities."

"They also have talented offensive players, such as De Bruyne, Sun Xingmin, Salah, Wu Lei, etc., and they can often play incredible performances on the court."

"To be honest, this team reminds me of Barcelona, ​​the cosmic team that won six championships. Yes, it was the Barcelona team under Guardiola."

Lineker was also a legendary striker during his player period, and once represented England as the top scorer in the 1986 World Cup.

Of course, he has achieved many honors throughout his career, and what fans talk about the most is that he has never received a yellow card in his career. good story.

It is understandable, therefore, that his views are quite different from those of "The Fauvist" Keane.

"But I still have the same point of view just now. The main reason why Hamburg can play such football is that the defense they face is too weak." Neville shook his head, "Unless Pan Yi can come to the Premier League to prove himself, I will take back my opinion. .”

Keane also said: "Actually, it's not necessary. His team doesn't have to face my defense, as long as he can come to our Old Trafford stadium to play. I don't believe in the defense of Ferdinand and Vidic. Under the circumstances, Hamburg can still play so refreshingly!"

Carragher said with a smile: "Well, I think the probability of Hamburg meeting a Premier League team after qualifying is not low, let us wait and see..."

……

The next day, Inzaghi chatted with Pan Yi after training: "Did you watch Sky Sports yesterday? Those Manchester United legends said we can't play the Premier League team."

Pan Yi smiled and said, "What do you care about those big mouths? It's as if we didn't beat a Premier League team in Milan back then."

If there is any team in the world whose celebrity speaks the most and hates it the most, it may be the Manchester United celebrity.

They will always point fingers at their own team, even when the results are good, but once Manchester United does not perform well, all kinds of weird remarks will emerge in endlessly.

However, what Pan Yi didn't expect was that their mouths actually managed to control him who was far away in Germany...

What does it mean to go to the Premier League to prove yourself?

Messi has won so many honors in La Liga, just because he has never been to the Premier League, is he not the world's top superstar?
He is even one of the players who scored the most goals against the Premier League team. If he goes to the Premier League, he will still win?

Then Ronaldo hasn't even won the Chinese Super League championship, so how can he prove that he is better than Muric?
The same is true of many fans, who always like to use this kind of remarks to belittle some players.

For example, when Haaland was in the Bundesliga, he said something similar, saying that the Bundesliga did not pay attention to defense, so Haaland scored a lot of goals, but it would not work in the Premier League.

As a result, Haaland killed all sides in the Premier League, saying that it was because of Manchester City's strong offense and a lot of support for him, but completely ignored the number of goals Haaland scored in the Champions League when he was in Dortmund or even the Salzburg Red Bull. Too much.

In short, you can always be invincible by relying on your mouth and keyboard.

It's a waste of time to be honest with these people.

"I'm just a little upset." Inzaghi brushed his hair. "I just want to play a Premier League team, especially Manchester United."

This kind of strong competitive spirit is still strong even if Inzaghi is no longer a professional player.

"Okay, I will pray with you for Manchester United to come second in the group and then meet us." Pan Yi smiled, "But we have to prepare for the home game against Ajax..."
