Chapter 261 Tactical Genius Moyes
On March 3, Hamburg played against Freiburg at home.

Facing the 14th-ranked Bundesliga team, Hamburg struggled a bit.

Neither side could score a goal in the first half.

In the second half, it was Freiburg, who had been passive on the scene, who scored the first goal.

In the 50th minute, midfielder Darida knocked on the door guarded by Navas with a long shot.

Although after 5 minutes, Hamburg used a series of dazzling cooperation to break through the opponent's goal and Vardy equalized the score, but the tie lasted until 80 minutes.

In the 82nd minute, Wu Lei, who came off the bench, sealed his throat with an arrow and volleyed from the front of the penalty area to overtake the score.

In the end, Hamburg defeated the opponent 2:1.

Hamburg took all three points, but Bayern still did not drop.

They defeated Hertha Berlin 3:1 in the away game. Gotze, Kroos and Ribery contributed to the team respectively.

So the two teams continued to maintain a winning streak.

But all this changed in the 28th round of the Bundesliga three days later.

Because Hamburg finally failed to win!
Borussia Mönchengladbach caused a lot of trouble for Hamburg at home.

Perhaps due to the continuous short-term battle, even the Hamburg players showed some signs of fatigue. They were not very excited in this game, and they were not able to fully control the situation on the field.

In the 70th minute, forward Kruse scored a header to help the home team take the lead.

The lagging Hamburg made a decisive substitution. Pan Yi replaced the underperforming Lin Zhijian, Sun Xingmin and others, and used Mitrovic + Vardy's double center tactics to attack Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense.

This adjustment took effect after 10 minutes. Wu Lei made a pass from the side, Mitrovic and Vardy performed a header relay, and Vardy finally headed the ball into Borussia's goal.

1: 1!

This is also the final score of the game.

This tie also made Hamburg's winning streak fixed at 22 games.

It started with a draw with Dortmund in the fifth round and ended with a draw with Borussia in the 28th round.

Of course, Hamburg still maintains an unbeaten season and a record of home wins.

If Hamburg can continue, this is still a very impressive record!

As strong as Bayern last season, they failed to complete such a record!
And speaking of Bayern, now that Hamburg has finally failed to win, they should catch up, right?
No.

You brake and I brake too, just for fun!

Bayern this round is at home against Hoffenheim.

Since the key battle of the Champions League quarter-finals will also be ushered in four days after this round of the game, Guardiola also rotated some players during the game.

In fact, the rotation players performed well in the game. Pizarro scored twice, Shaqiri also made a pass and made a contribution. Bayern scored three goals in total!
But Hoffenheim also scored three goals.

Modeste, Salihovic and Firmino also scored a goal each, helping Huo Cun tenaciously draw Bayern in this goal battle.

As a result, the point difference between Hamburg and Bayern remained at five points!
The German media sighed: "This is really a dynamic balance..."

Some media also believe that Hamburg has not been caught up in points under such circumstances, which shows that Pan Yi's luck this season is really good.

Including in some games, Hamburg did not play very well, but someone always stepped forward at the last minute. Of course, there are reasons for their firm will and excellent physical fitness, but sometimes this is also part of luck.

And luck is also a very important part in the journey to win the championship.

But in an interview with the media, Bayern coach Guardiola said that Hamburg was tied by Borussia Mönchengladbach, which shows that Hamburg is not invincible.

Although Bayern also drew, as long as they patiently look for opportunities in the following games, Hamburg will definitely make mistakes again!

Regardless of the gap of five points, Hamburg can only make one more mistake!
Because Hamburg still has the second round of the league with Bayern to play, by that time, Bayern will seize the opportunity to achieve a lead, and will not give Hamburg another chance!

What Gua Shuai said seems to make sense.

Now both teams are showing some signs of fatigue to varying degrees, and Bayern has been eliminated in the German Cup, but Hamburg will continue to fight on the third front.

Don't look at just one or two more games, but often such one or two games will become the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

In the history of football, such a multi-line attack has the hope of winning the championship on multiple lines, but it is not uncommon for them to fail to withstand the collapse of the whole line in the end.

Let's just talk about the Bundesliga. There is a famous case, that is Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 season.

In the Bundesliga, they set off an offensive frenzy, always maintained the league leader position, and were known as the season reversal kings with their amazing reversal ability.

However, with the league leading for most of the season, it was a bit broken when sprinting for the crucial May schedule.

曾经领先拜仁7分，且4：0完胜多特蒙德的大好形势下，勒沃库森倒数第2、3轮连续被云达不来梅、纽伦堡击败，多特蒙德终以1分优势抢走其似乎已经纳入囊中的德甲冠军沙拉盘。

In the German Cup, Bayer Leverkusen made it through to the final.

But in the final, this exhausted team lost to Schalke 1 4:04, and in the end, the German Cup could only be engraved with the names of blue-collar workers in the Ruhr area.

Then in the Champions League, they also performed well, becoming the new Rossoneri that surprised the European football world.

In the knockout round, Leverkusen eliminated top teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United respectively, reaching the final in one fell swoop.

However, they lost to Real Madrid 1:2 in the final, and Zidane staged a flying fairy.

As a result, Leverkusen Sanya King got it.

Of course, what is even more tragic than the Leverkusen team is...

The general Barak in their formation.

In addition to the above three runners-up, Ballack's Bundesliga goals and assists are ranked second.

Coupled with the fact that his German team won the 1 World Cup runner-up one month later, Ballack has become the winner of the "Guinness World Cup runner-up king" unprecedentedly!
Of course, in addition to Leverkusen, Bayern Munich has also done this.

In the 2011-2012 season not long ago, they were also the kings of Sanya. The difference was that they had been suppressed by Dortmund in the Bundesliga at that time, but it was not as sad as Leverkusen.

And just a year later, Bayern made a comeback, washed away the shame of the Sanya king with the triple crown feat, and became the first club in the Bundesliga to win the triple crown.

For two consecutive years, from the Sanya King to the Triple Crown, Bayern has also created a miracle in European football. This record is estimated to be unprecedented.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this history that Guardiola is still full of confidence that Bayern will overtake Hamburg at the last moment!

And Guashuai's remarks are obviously putting pressure on Hamburg and Pan Yi, but many media and fans agree with him.

"The current Hamburg is fighting on three fronts. Everyone knows how difficult it is and how stressful it is."

"The closer we get to the end of the season, the more dangerous the situation for Hamburg will be!"

"As long as one line is not held up, Hamburg may lose its mentality and eventually lead to a collapse!"

"The triple crown is rare. Bayern has completed the Bundesliga for so many years, and it is rare in European football. Hamburg wants to take all three tiers? It is indeed a bit too much."

"It's better to protect the league, otherwise the three fronts will get nothing, and that is the real tragedy."

But Pan Yi immediately expressed a different opinion.

When he accepted the "Hamburg Morning Post", he said that although the third-line battle this season is very challenging for Hamburg, he, his coaches and players like this kind of challenge!
"The pressure may knock some people down, but it can also be our motivation. Our players have also grown under such pressure. Over the past two years, they have also overcome countless difficulties."

"I may make a decision to abandon certain games after a comprehensive assessment, such as the German Cup last season. But what I want to tell you is that this season's Hamburg, the word abandonment is not in the dictionary!"

"I said very early on that we will compete for all the championships this season. I said so, and we did the same. We have been fighting for almost a season, how can we give up at this time?"

"What's more, the current situation in Hamburg is very good, and it is not like a collapse as you are worried about!"

Pan Yi also said that it is not a big deal to tie a game in the Bundesliga. This also happens with a high probability in the intensive schedule, so don't make a fuss about it.

"We drew Borussia in the away game, and Bayern hasn't won Huo Cun at home! Why do you want to point the finger at us, thinking that we will fail and collapse?"

"I think everyone should pay attention to Bayern. If I remember correctly, they will play Dortmund in two rounds."

"Gua Shuai thinks that we will make mistakes first? Then I also want to see if they can retreat unscathed in the face of Dortmund, the bitter host of these two seasons."

"If Bayern collapses first, I will say to Klopp, thank you, I will treat you to dinner when I am free!..."

In addition to expressing his determination to the media, Pan Yi also gave some mobilization speeches in the team.

The general meaning is similar, that is, the season has reached a critical moment, and Hamburg players must grit their teeth and stick to it.

"The other party just wants us to mess ourselves up and let others take advantage of it. We will not be fooled by this."

"If we don't believe that we can attack on multiple fronts and win, then we may be defeated by Leverkusen in the next round, we will lose to Kaiserslautern in the German Cup, and we will be eliminated by Manchester United in the Champions League."

"We will now work together and go to the end together. We will lift one trophy after another and make all Hamburgers proud of you!"

"So, let's start by beating Manchester United!"

……

"Oh, I laughed so hard!"

In the tactical conference room in Hamburg, Nagelsmann suddenly laughed.

Pan Yi, Nagelsman, Inzaghi and others have just studied the videos of Manchester United's recent games. Now it is a break time, and I will talk about Moyes' tactics later.

And Nagelsmann was there swiping his phone, watching Manchester United fan forums for fun.

In the end, he really found some fun.

This is a post titled "Moyes is really a tactical genius, let's argue!".

And the beginning of the post is a look to justify Moyes:
"For more than half a year, although Moyes' record has not been outstanding, he has created many thought-provoking tactics, which are surprising and amazing! Now, let me explain Moyes' classic tactics in detail."

But starting from the first one is a bit unserious.

"First, a supporting midfielder."

"The main task of the midfielder is to respond to the passes from the left and right wingers, strikers, and midfielders around him. Then, pass the ball to the defenders, and the defenders divide the sides."

"Such a midfielder does not need speed, technology, or interception ability. It is very adaptable and it is easy to find execution players."

"At first glance, it seems that this role is useless... I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry. Let's look at the second tactic, and we can find out the mystery of Moyes' arrangement."

"Second, U-shaped ball possession."

"The current popular style of play is basically the midfielder holding the ball and penetrating and advancing. But this style of play has a very serious problem, that is, there are too many midfielders, and it is easy to encounter a big bus. Let's do it."

"But the U-shaped style of play doesn't have this problem. After the midfielder gets the ball, he passes the ball back to the defender through the supporting midfielder. The defender divides the side and then passes it to the winger to seek a breakthrough. Pass back, switch to the other side and break through."

"In this way, the ball has been controlled by the defender and the two wingers, allowing the opponent to run left and right, exhausted."

"Third, engineer striker."

"There is a problem with the U-shaped ball possession, that is, the possession of the ball in the midfield is given up. The interception in the midfield is weak and it is easy to be broken by the opponent."

"So we have to arrange a striker with no feet, no skills, a strong body, and good physical strength to wander between the midfield and the frontcourt to help the midfield defend."

Next, Nagelsmann laughed even louder: "I dare to write so much, it's all for the last picture."

I saw that the fourth point was impressively written: "Cross from the bottom!"

"The above three tactics are all paving the way for the fourth tactic. The bottom cross is the essence of Moyes' tactics!"

"Full-back + winger, forming a local advantage of 2-on-3, or 2-on-4, or even 2-on-5, passing the ball accurately to the opponent's penalty area."

"In the end, let Rooney, General Fan, or Little Pea, who are proficient in headers, score easily."

"This kind of tactics really makes it difficult for the opponent's defense to deal with! Now Manchester United's performance is not good, but it's just bad luck."

"I believe that in the next 10 years, this style of play will inevitably become as popular as the current style of midfield ball possession, and it will eventually become the mainstream of world football! Let us wait and see!"

Listening to Nagelsman laughing happily, Pan Yi, who tilted his head to look at it curiously, was also happy: "It turned out that this dumpling was made because of this bit of vinegar. The wisdom of netizens is infinite, but they are very happy." Know what's wrong with Moyes' Manchester United."

Inzaghi also came over: "So, is Moyes really that good? Then why does Ferguson still take a fancy to him?"

Pan Yi shook his head: "That's not true. Ferguson is not blind, and Moyes' achievements in Everton are not fake."

With that said, he stood up and walked to the tactical list.

Since someone asked, he simply continued today's agenda and talked about Moyes' tactics.

"David Moyes is an English coach, but his style of play is the least English, a semi-possession style of play tailored for weaker teams."

"First of all, he will stabilize the defense first, and put great emphasis on positioning when defending. It is possible to compress the space between the defender and the midfielder. The full-back controls the ribs, and at the same time minimizes the movement of the ball in his own half."

"Second, the combination of side and center. When Moyes was at Everton, their combination of side and center was one of the best teams in the Premier League."

"Everton's wing attack is not blindly crossing, but chooses wide players to cooperate with full-backs or forwards to make quick and small-scale passes and cuts on the wing, and sometimes midfielders will also participate. Quickly cut in or cross to create a threat after tearing open the defensive space."

"This requires extremely high crossing accuracy for both full-backs and full-backs on the wing-because the full-backs are highly involved in the offense, and they are also handy for the tactics of central players."

"Third, the ball-handling offense in the frontcourt. In most games, the offense is not a simple rush, and a reasonable organizer of the ball is set up in the middle-when Arteta is there, he is in charge. .”

"While on the wing, you have a possession midfielder - Arteta early, Pienaar late, and an attacking midfielder (Ousmane), creating spaces by running and passing the ball."

"Fourth, emphasize the oppression of forward players on the opponent's defense. Forward players have body, speed, certain skills, participate in wing cooperation, and act as bridgeheads for the ball when necessary. Kubu or Anichebe to fill this role..."

Inzaghi opened his mouth wide: "Ah, we didn't seem to see these things in the game we watched just now!"

Pan Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes. That's because after he arrived at Manchester United, the situation has changed. First of all, because of the high defense. This is a trend in world football tactics..."

At this time, Nagelsmann interjected: "This is all because of you, right? Before you implemented the high-position pressing system in Milan, high-position defense was not as popular in football as it is today. Now almost everyone The team is going to do this..."

Pan Yi chuckled and did not deny it.

This style of play would have been popular in the first place, but Pan Yi showed its full potential to everyone earlier, attracting more coaches to follow suit.

But not all teams are suitable for this.

Pan Yi went on to say: "But now many Manchester United players are too old, and their physical functions are declining."

"From a central defender, Vidic's body can't keep up, his speed is slow, he misses the ball, and he still maintains his header control; Ferdinand's speed and body decline very quickly, but he has a good sense of position selection and a strong ability to integrate defense lines; Jones and Smalling are in good shape, but their position selection is poor and they are frizzy."

"This has led to the limited defensive coverage of Manchester United's central defenders, and their chasing ability is appalling, leaving a large space for others to counterattack time and time again."

"And what about the left wing? Evra has a strong attacking ability, crossing inside is a magic weapon, but he can't keep up with catching up. He has a strong one-on-one defensive ability, but there is a problem with position selection, and there is no suitable substitute. "

"Even when there is no high defense, Evra often can't come back. This season, the combination of the left center back and the left back has been pierced countless times. It happens that the protection of the midfielder for the left rib is limited. It's a chain."

"High defense is a very advanced tactic, but it has very high requirements on the player's own ability and execution ability. Therefore, Manchester United's predicament at the beginning of the season has a lot to do with the choice of defensive strategy!"

Nagelsman and Inzaghi both nodded.

When Pan Yi rebuilt Hamburg, he determined the team building policy of focusing on young players.

On the one hand, young players are easy to manage, highly motivated, and have a lot of room for improvement and value-added;
On the other hand, it is because they are young and vigorous, able to run and rush.

Coupled with Pintus' scientific training and Pan Yi's rotation, it is such a young Hamburger who can survive the third-line battle and the intensive schedule and keep the game state from declining.

I don't know how many times I have collapsed for other teams.

"In fact, as the league progresses, Moyes has been adjusting the team's tactics to adapt to the characteristics of this group of players."

"For example, the defensive line retreats consciously, increasing the proportion of penetration in the middle, increasing the coordination of passing and cutting from the side, and reducing meaningless crosses;"

"For example, reduce the playing time of old players in the team, promote Januzaj who has a strong ball ability, reuse Welbeck to enhance the pulling effect on the opponent's defense, and even actively explore the suitable position of Kagawa, including the winter window of course. Bring in Mata."

"However, because Moyes attaches great importance to the strict positioning of players in defense, this also affects the offense, resulting in very few position changes and large-scale penetrations in the offense. This is also one of the reasons why the offense cannot be played."

"Because of the high defense and relatively fixed positioning, Manchester United's offense is in trouble. On the one hand, the opponent's space is compressed too small, resulting in ground penetration that cannot penetrate the defense line at all, and less transposition and great penetration. It reduces the flexibility of the attack, so there are no more attacking options other than crossing..."

As Pan Yi thoroughly analyzed the current plight of Moyes at Manchester United, he also made predictions about the tactics Moyes will adopt in the upcoming Hamburg Manchester United battle.

"Their offensive and defensive conversion efficiency is very low, and their physical confrontation ability is also poor. In this case, Moyes should not choose to confront us head-on, but pay attention to defense and fight our counterattack."

"But it's a pity that he overlooked one point. Their forwards are no longer the Van Persie and Rooney back then."

"Van Persie is impeccable in taking the ball, making the ball, and shooting. He has excellent personal attack and team-mate coordination ability, but his physical function declines as he gets older, and his running ability declines. He can only play as a single forward in front."

"As for Rooney, except for his static shooting ability and mid-range passing, his other abilities have declined extremely rapidly, his impact power has declined, his ball ability is appalling, and his tactical status has declined."

"With the speed and reflexes of our defense, it should not be difficult to prevent their counterattack."

Then Pan Yi arranged the main points of Hamburg's attack against Manchester United:
"Our next training will focus on the offensive and defensive drills on the wing, as well as the speed when switching from defense to offense."

"Fast to their defense and quick to their offense."

"What they are afraid of is speed! And we want to play speed!"

"We want to defeat Manchester United in the simplest, most direct and sharpest way!"
