Chapter 251

Hamburg's Bundesliga half-time champion can be said to be convincing, because their points are 2 points higher than No.8 Bayern Munich!
Of course, the further widening of the points gap is not because Bayern lost.

It was that they went to Morocco to play in the Club World Cup after the key battle against Hamburg, so they missed a round in the Bundesliga.

Which Morocco?
It is the place that "Xu Zhimo" Xu Yang said: "I have been to Morocco, the football there is very pure"...

In this Club World Cup, Changzhou Hengtai of Longguo also participated as the Asian champion.

They also defeated the African Champions Cup champion Al Ahly with a score of 2:0 in the quarter-finals and successfully entered the semi-finals.

And Changzhou Hengtai's opponent in the semi-finals is Bayern Munich!

But in this game, the gap between Longguo football and the top European teams is reflected.

In the Changzhou Hengtai team, except for the Argentine foreign aid Conca who can hold the ball, the other players are not at the same level as the Bayern players.

The scene of the game was also one-sided. Bayern finally defeated Changzhou Hengtai 3:0 and successfully entered the final.

In fact, if it weren't for Bayern's bad luck, many shots hit the post, the score would only be bigger.

In the following three or four finals, Changzhou Hengtai lost 2:3 to Copa Libertadores champion Atletico Mineiro.

In fact, this team has a lot to do with the Chinese Super League. Coach Kuka, forwards Tardelli and Ferdinando all came to Longguo later.

And the biggest player in the Mineiro Athletic team is undoubtedly Ronaldinho, who has returned to his roots at this time.

In the game, Ronaldinho also kicked a beautiful free kick to help Atletico Mineiro score.

However, in the 86th minute, Zhao Xuri, who came off the bench, forcibly grabbed the ball behind him, causing Ronaldinho to fall to the ground.

Zhao Xuri stepped on it vigorously, and Ronaldinho kicked him in the leg in retaliation.

Zhao Xuri fell to the ground immediately, and Ronaldinho left the field.

This red card has also become the most impressive point of this game, at least Pan Yi, as a former fan, remembers it very clearly.

Bayern came on later, in the final against hosts Casablanca Laraja.

They also easily won with a score of 2:0, thus winning the Club World Cup championship!
With this championship, together with the European Super Cup won by defeating Chelsea not long after the start of the season, and the triple crown last season, Bayern has also achieved a great cause of five crowns!
Compared with Guardiola's six crowns when he was in Barcelona, ​​in fact, they only lost one German Super Cup.

And this championship happened to be snatched away from them by the Hamburg led by Pan Yi...

……

When Bayern was still fighting in the Club World Cup, Hamburg was already on holiday.

The vacation time is one week, let the players go home to have a beautiful Christmas, and then come back to train.

Good combination of work and rest!

This is also one of the advantages of Hamburg against Bayern this season. There are fewer games and more time for adjustment and rest.

And this holiday, Pan Yi is also more free than before.

Because he doesn't need to think about signings anymore!

The current first-team lineup is enough for him to finish this season smoothly.

The locker room is stable, the players cooperate tacitly, and the atmosphere is positive...

If the team is like this, what more can I ask for?

The only thing Pan Yi has to worry about is that other teams will poach corners during the winter window.

It is almost impossible for the Hamburg players to perform well in the first half of the season, including last season, without attracting the coveted attention of other big teams.

For example, Dortmund's Klopp has publicly expressed his appreciation for Salah's performance on many occasions and hopes to have the opportunity to work with him in Westfalen.

And Klopp's appetite is more than that. He also believes that Robertson and Van Dijk on the Hamburg back line are also very suitable for Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's head coach Pep Guardiola's appreciation for De Bruyne is well known. It is not impossible to issue a formal inquiry to Hamburg in this winter window, not to mention that it can weaken Hamburg and kill two birds with one stone.

Leverkusen has always been interested in Sun Xingmin and Charhanoglu. They have asked the price several times since Xia Chuang, but they were all rejected.

It's not just the Bundesliga teams that are staring at the star supermarket in Hamburg.

Monaco head coach Claudio Claudio Claudio Claudio Ranieri wants the club to make bids for Vardy and N'Golo Kante in Hamburg because the Italian coach believes they can execute his tactics perfectly.

Real Madrid has a strong interest in the team's youth player Carvajal. They hope to buy back this outstanding right back to replace the aging Alvaro Arbeloa in the team.

By the way, they also want to bring Casemiro to the Bernabeu Stadium, so that they can form a complementary midfield combination with Modric.

Even Changzhou Hengtai of Longguo wanted to take Wu Lei back to China at the risk of the world...

However, Pan Yi believes that the current batch of players are willing to continue fighting with him.

Now that the momentum of the team is so good, there is no reason to give up the opportunity to make contributions here!
After all, they haven't really won any championships yet!

Of course, if Hamburg really succeeds this season, many players may not be able to keep them.

This cannot be blamed on the players' "lack of affection for the club" or something.

Ask yourself, if you work in one company with a salary of [-], and if another company recruits you, the salary will be doubled, tripled, or even five times or ten times, can you not be tempted?

In the football world, this kind of thing is very common.

It is not uncommon for a player to have a weekly salary of [-] yuan at the original club, and after he performed well and jumped to a new job, his weekly salary directly increased to more than [-] yuan.

This is not just a question of money, it is also a reflection of the player's own value and status in football.

Not to mention some players such as Carvajal, who joined the Real Madrid youth academy at the age of 10. He has been a Madridist since he was a child, and his affection for Real Madrid is the deepest.

His leaving Real Madrid is just a helpless move, he just needs more games to hone himself, and the ultimate goal is to get the favor of Real Madrid.

In this case, as long as Real Madrid waved, he would go back in a hurry. At this time, what can you blame him for?
It's just that Pan Yi won't think about it for the time being.

When these players disperse, he will also consider going to a place that is more suitable for him to build a dynasty.

In the new place, he has money and power, and he can also find ways to win over some "loyal veterans" to continue to play for him, just like pulling Milan's three generals to Hamburg this season.

At present, what he needs to consider is to train the players better during the winter break and meet the more difficult challenges in the second half of the season in a better state!

……

A week later, Hamburg started the winter break training camp.

The initial training was still presided over by physical coach Pintus.

From the training during the winter break last season, it can be seen that Pintus has made a huge difference to the team, so Pan Yi will be more at ease in delegating power to this little bald old man and let him display his talent—— It is to toss players in different ways.

After all, this season is different from last season.

At that time, Hamburg only had to consider the league, but now it is fighting on the third line!And they have all entered the sprint stage.

Especially in the Champions League, Hamburg is about to usher in one game after another that is destined to be fierce.

In order to maintain a level of performance in such an intense game, sufficient physical reserves are essential.

This period is equivalent to charging the players. As long as there is sufficient power, the standby time can be guaranteed to be longer, and the strengths of these "machines" can be better utilized.

Of course, Pintus will not disappoint Pan Yi's expectations.

He formulated a winter break training plan early on for the current situation and future consumption of Hamburg players.

And Pan Yi was very relaxed.

He only needs to be responsible for the overall overall arrangement, and the specific tactical training can also be handed over to Nagelsman and Inzaghi.

After all, the current overall framework of Hamburg is very stable. No matter what kind of tactics they play, the team can handle it with ease, and the players are basically very adaptable.

Of course, if Pan Yi insists on finding the faults of his team, or what needs to be improved, he can still sum up some.

For example, in the position of goalkeeper Keylor Navas, his reaction ability and goal line skills are definitely world-class, but his foot skills are indeed lacking, his ability to play the ball is average, and his range of activities is not large enough.

Restricted by this, some of Pan Yi's advancing tactics in the backcourt, including the idea of ​​the goalkeeper's long direct pass to hit the opponent's back, cannot be practiced.

Another example is that when changing formations, due to the lack of suitable wing backs, or the lack of corresponding training for the full backs, Pan Yi sometimes wants to try a more aggressive three-back system, but it is difficult to implement.

But these problems are not bad at the moment, and they will not become the team's weakness for the time being, or the focus of the opponent's attack, so there is no rush to change.

It's just that Pan Yi is a person who likes to study, and likes to learn and practice all the tactics in the system one by one, and he always wants to do it more perfectly.

Of course he won't mess around now, this is already the best he can do under the framework of the existing players.

After all, Hamburg is not a wealthy club, nor is it a rich club.

If he goes to Munich and tells Bayern that he wants to exchange Navas for Neuer, he will be kicked out by Rummenigge with a broom...

These ideas, or Pan Yi's desire to seek further self-breakthrough, will be discussed later when there is an opportunity.

……

The winter break is actually very short.

After finishing the first half of the season at the end of December, we took a week off to start training. In fact, in two or three weeks, the Bundesliga will restart in late January.

Hamburg did not make any moves during this winter break, and other Bundesliga teams are actually similar.

Bayern Munich also did not transfer any players, but loaned Kirchhoff, who was unable to play in the team, to Schalke 04.

Dortmund bought Jolic from Partizan Belgrade for 220 million euros, and sold Ginter to Galatasaray in Turkey for 250 million. The main lineup structure has not changed at all.

Leverkusen made more moves. They transferred three players including Brandt, Ryu Seung-woo and Guardado. Maybe Hyypia wants to cheer up again in the second half of the season.

But in the first game of the second half of the season, Leverkusen took a slap in the face.

They lost 2:3 away to Freiburg, which is in the relegation zone!
And Dortmund's state is not very good, they drew with Augsburg 2:2 at home.

Bayern, relying on the momentum of the new Club World Cup championship, defeated Borussia Monchengladbach and Stuttgart in a week of double matches, and achieved two consecutive victories (the away game against Stuttgart was a make-up match).

Hamburg's opponent in the 18th round is Schalke 04.

Facing this opponent who had defeated away in the first round, Hamburg played smoothly at the People's Park Stadium and won with a score of 1:2.

With this result, Pan Yi also expressed his satisfaction at the press conference after the game.

He believes that after a month of winter break, Hamburg can show such a good state in the first game, and he is proud of the players' performance.

At the same time, he also thanked Pintus and other members of the coaching staff for their help to the team during the winter training period.

It is also because of the joint efforts of the whole team that Pan Yi believes that in the second half of the season, Hamburg will be able to continue this winning streak!

……

In the next two rounds of the Bundesliga, Hamburg did not live up to Pan Yi's expectations.

In the 19th round, Hamburg beat Hoffenheim 2-1 away without any risk.

In the 20th round, Hamburg beat Hertha Berlin 3-0 at home.

Although Bayern Munich also beat Frankfurt 5:0 and Nuremberg 2:0, but now Hamburg is too stable!

Even if they didn't make any mistakes, how could Bayern catch up with Hamburg and pull them down from the top position?
德甲20轮战罢，汉堡依然是以恐怖的19胜1平58分的不败战绩位列第一，而拜仁则是17胜2平1负积53分屈居第二。

It is very appropriate to say "reserved", because Bayern's record is already very impressive.

In any previous season, they would be number one!Including when they were almost invincible last season!
In the same period of the 2012-2013 season, after 20 rounds, Bayern ranked first with 51 points, while Hamburg ranked second with 44 points.

But it's a pity that they encountered an even more awesome burger this season.

This may also be the reversal of the status of the two teams last season.

Compared with these two teams that are crazily grabbing points, other teams that originally wanted to compete for the championship can only carry on.

Leverkusen ranked third with 14 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses with 43 points;

Dortmund ranked fourth with 12 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses with 39 points;

沙尔克04，11胜4平5负积37分排第五。

In other words, starting from No.3, there is already a 2-point gap from No.10 Bayern, not to mention a gap of 15 points from Hamburg.

Therefore, this season's Bundesliga championship competition has actually been qualitatively played here.

Either Hamburg, or Bayern, other teams obediently compete for the Champions League qualification!
……

Five days after the 20th round of the Bundesliga, it will be the quarter-finals of the German Cup. Hamburg will play against Hoffenheim at home.

This is another contest between the two teams in a short period of time.

And starting from this game, it is a relatively intensive schedule, which is also a test for Hamburg and Pan Yi.

On February 2, the German Cup played against Hoffenheim at home.

On February 2, the 16st round of the Bundesliga played away against Brunswick.

On February 2th, the UEFA Champions League round of 20 will play away against Manchester City!

On February 2, the 23nd round of the Bundesliga will be played against Dortmund at home!

In other words, Hamburg will play four games in 10 days, and it also includes tough battles against Manchester City and Dortmund.

In these games, what Pan Yi values ​​most, and what everyone thinks is the most important, is of course the game against Manchester City.

It is absolutely difficult to play this Premier League upstart in an away game, so Pan Yi must also make a perfect plan.

Then, Pan Yi has a rough overall combat idea.

The main force will play against Hoffenheim, then rotate the lineup to play against Brunswick, and finally use the best lineup and state to challenge Manchester City!

When playing Dortmund in the end, we will make arrangements depending on the physical condition of the players in the near future.

Under such a strategy, the opponent Hoffenheim in the German Cup is a bit "unlucky".

Amidst the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the People's Park Stadium, Hamburg defeated this tough opponent 2-0 with top scorer Vardy's goals in the first and second halves, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!
In another German Cup match, Bayern Munich was knocked out by Kaiserslautern!

This team, which once created the miracle of a newly promoted team winning the Bundesliga championship, is now only a second-tier team, but they also created a miracle in this game!

In the 120-minute game, Kaiserslautern tenaciously drew 0:0 with Bayern Munich, and finally defeated the opponent through a penalty shootout and successfully entered the semi-finals.

Although Guardiola has rotated many players in the German Cup, after all, he lost to a Bundesliga team, which still makes Guardiola a bit embarrassed.

In the other two games, although Leverkusen's 2:3 Wolfsburg result was a bit surprising, it was within a reasonable range.

It is reasonable for Frankfurt to lose 0:1 to Dortmund.

After the draw for the semi-finals, Pan Yi continued his good luck this season. Hamburg will play in the semi-finals with Kaiserslautern.

The other final spot will be between Wolfsburg and Dortmund.

The semifinals will be held on April 4.

……

Hamburg have another Bundesliga game ahead of their trip to Manchester.

That is the 21st round, an away game against Brunswick.

This game also has a special meaning for Hamburg.

That is, since the away draw with Dortmund in the 5th round, they have won 15 consecutive rounds!

The previous winning streak in the Bundesliga was the 2005 winning streak created by Bayern Munich in 15!

In other words, if Hamburg can win this game, it will break the record held by Bayern with 16 consecutive victories!

This can be regarded as another counterattack to Bayern breaking the unbeaten record of the old Hamburg in the 80s.

It's just that it's not easy to play against a team like Brunswick that is desperately trying to avoid relegation, and it's an away game.

And in order to ensure the status of the main players, Pan Yi didn't take this record too seriously, and still played the rotation players as originally planned.

He won't hide his desire to go all out in the Champions League.

Now that he is 5 points ahead of Bayern in the league, Pan Yi's focus will definitely be more on the Champions League.

Of course, the rotation doesn't mean that Pan Yi doesn't pay attention to this game.

After all, Hamburg's rotation players are also very effective now!
The most successful thing Pan Yi has done in Hamburg this season is to establish an orderly rotation system, which not only allows all players to get sufficient opportunities to exercise in the game, but also allows players to maintain their fighting spirit.

For some of these players, even their playing time is not much worse than that of the main players.

For example, Paulinho, Wu Lei, or Mitrovic, they are all generals who can fight when they are called!
In other words, Hamburg does not have too strict main substitutes in the current formation.

For example, Hamburg has played about 30 games this season. As the main center, Vardy has started 18 times, while Mitrovic has started 12 times. The difference between them is not as big as other teams. big.

Therefore, when facing Hamburg's rotation lineup, Brunswick, who knew his own strength was insufficient, put on a formation of three midfielders as soon as he came up.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, they used an almost butcher-style scramble to destroy Hamburg's midfield organization.

Through this kind of strict defense tactics, Brunswick's defense at home is impenetrable.

The Hamburg players who came off the bench also did not play very smoothly. Although they had the initiative of the game, they could not find a good scoring opportunity.

The game lasted until the 80th minute of the second half. After Brunswick tried its best, Hamburg gradually found a good chance to score.

In the 82nd minute, Lin Zhijian passed the ball with his heel, Mitrovic followed up with a low shot and scored, Brunswick 0:1 Hamburg!

After breaking the deadlock, the Hamburg players' mentality was significantly relaxed, and their performance on the field became more comfortable.

Just less than 5 minutes later, Mitrovic returned to set up a cannon, and Hasebe Makoto, who was inserted in the back row, scored again with a volley!
In stoppage time, Wu Lei also scored a goal, but it was a pity that the offside was called invalid first.

At the end of the game, Brunswick 0:2 Hamburg.

In this regard, Hamburg won 16 consecutive victories, and officially broke Bayern's winning streak in the Bundesliga!
And every time they win a game after that, they will add another game to this record...

Hamburg took the record-breaking three points firmly, while Bayern and Dortmund also won, and both were big victories.

Bayern beat Freiburg 4:0!
They also had the task of knocking out the Champions League, and they also played some rotation players. Shaqiri scored twice, and Pizarro and Dante also scored a goal each.

Dortmund also swept Frankfurt with the same score.

Last season's dark horse Frankfurt seems to have lost its magic this season, and has been drawn by Bayern and Dortmund consecutively.

Aubameyang also scored twice, Lewandowski also scored a goal, and Jojic, who had just joined the winter window, also made a contribution after coming off the bench.

Leverkusen lost again!
They lost 1:2 to their direct competitor for Champions League qualification, Schalke 04.

As a result, the competition for tickets to the Champions League next season will become more intense.

Leverkusen scored 43 points, Borussia Dortmund scored 42 points, and Schalke 04 scored 40 points, including sixth Wolfsburg with 36 points and seventh Monchengladbach with 34 points. In fact, they all had a chance.

But for Pan Yi now, none of this has anything to do with him.

In other words, the Champions League seats or something can't satisfy his appetite.

Hamburg and Bayern still occupy the top two places in the standings, with Hamburg leading by 5 points, and the situation of the championship has not changed!
And now, Pan Yi can safely set his sights on Manchester...
