Chapter 262 The DNA Engraved in the Body
While Hamburg was held to a draw by Borussia Borussia, their Champions League rivals Manchester United seemed to be in good shape.

在刚刚过去的英超第31轮和32轮，他们是分别在客场以2：0战胜西汉姆联队，主场4：1轻取阿斯顿维拉。

Although there is no change in the ranking in the standings, after all, they are approaching Everton and Tottenham ahead of them, and have more opportunities to compete for the Europa League qualification.

Most importantly, such a winning streak can also greatly boost the confidence of Manchester United!

Especially for the match against Aston Villa, Manchester United also sent a rotation lineup to prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals against Hamburg a few days later, including Shinji Kagawa, Butner, Da Silva and others. But still got a big win.

In the game, Rooney scored twice, Mata and Pea Hernandez also scored goals, which also showed the good competitive state of Manchester United players.

In comparison, Hamburg's draw with Borussia is a bit disappointing.

The German media even began to worry slightly about Hamburg's trip to Manchester.

After all, football matches still depend on the current state and morale of the players.

Is it true that, as Guardiola said, Hamburg's draw with Borussia will be the beginning of Hamburg's collapse?
If Borussia loses to Manchester United after the tie, it is really possible to destroy the spirit of an originally high-spirited team.

Then lose to Leverkusen, then lose to Hannover 96, and then there will be nothing to lose, because the championship is gone.

And the recent two consecutive victories obviously gave Moyes a lot of confidence.

Always low-key, he also said in an interview with reporters that Manchester United's morale is now high, and the whole team has the confidence to beat Hamburg at Old Trafford and take the lead!

He also finally responded to Pan Yi's previous "contemptuous remarks" against Manchester United:

"Pan Yi said that the whole team likes to play Manchester United, so I hope that after this Old Trafford battle, he can continue to say this with a smile."

And when Pan Yi led the team to Manchester and participated in the pre-match press conference, he also responded to Moyes' response:
"We do like playing Manchester United because they are the lowest of the eight teams in the major leagues."

"Yeah, it's always been difficult to play at Old Trafford, but that was before. United have had a lot of records broken here this season, haven't they? A lot of teams have won their first win here or something... ..."

"I don't know why they are so ordinary and confident. Yes, they have won two games recently, but that's all. Before these two games, they lost 0:3 to Liverpool, so quickly forget?"

"This also shows that their Manchester United team will no longer play a strong team. Unfortunately, our Hamburg is a strong team."

"Yes, we are first in the Bundesliga and they are seventh in the Premier League. I wouldn't play them as a weak team, but Manchester United is obviously not the team that could win the Treble."

"So, we will take away a victory at Old Trafford, there is no doubt about it!"

Pan Yi's speech can be regarded as a psychological warfare.

When the opponent's morale and confidence are up, it is necessary to use such words to suppress them back.

This also boosts the confidence of the players on their side.

After all, now that Hamburg has indeed tied a game, the players who have been winning streak may also have a little bit of self-doubt.

But as long as Pan Yi firmly believes that the team can easily win, this little doubt will dissipate as the game progresses.

Of course, this can be regarded as a response to those Manchester United celebrities who play tricks.

Inzaghi has been thinking about hitting them in the face!
Pan Yi made a head start for Pipo, and then completely defeated them on the court!
……

Hamburg players once again set foot in Manchester's football stadium.

Unlike the last time when it was full of sky blue, this time it was all red.

This is the home of the Red Devils Manchester United, Old Trafford!
Because of the war of words between the two sides before the game, and because of the importance of this Champions League quarter-final match, the Hamburg players were booed and booed during the warm-up.

More than 7 Manchester United fans in the audience made a huge noise, as if they wanted to overwhelm the Hamburg players and tear them to pieces.

Although the Hamburg players are young, all of them have experienced strong winds and waves, and they are all used to this kind of away treatment.

You hush yours, I practice mine, and I'm not affected at all.

And Pan Yi also got Manchester United's starting lineup for tonight:
Forwards: Rooney, Welbeck.

Midfielders: Fellaini, Carrick, Fletcher.

Defenders: Ashley Young, Ferdinand, Vidic, Phil Jones, Valencia.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

"This is actually a 532 formation? Five defenders plus three midfield sweeps, is this going to set up a bus at home?"

Nagelsmann said in surprise.

Although Pan Yi had guessed before the game that Moyes might play counterattack, Nagelsmann did not expect Moyes to be so determined.

"But Moyes doesn't seem to have played in the three-back system this season? I haven't heard of him using it in Everton." Inzaghi also looked at the list in his hand suspiciously, "Does he want to learn from Guardiola? Live surgery?"

"This formation may also be fake to confuse us." Pan Yi said, "The actual positioning of their players may not be 532 or 352. In short, it is not a three-center back system."

When submitting the list before the game, some coaches will indeed do such tricks, that is, it is correct to submit the list of personnel, but the positions of the players are randomly placed.

For example, a player who originally played 433 may turn in a 361, which can confuse some opponents who are not familiar with their team.

But how could Pan Yi be deceived?

He knows that Moyes is a coach who has always been cautious, and he will never be a surprise before an important game like Guardiola.

"It is possible for Valencia to play as a winger, so he forms a front three with Rooney and Welbeck."

"At this time, Phil Jones will move to the right back position to form a standard 433 formation. And this 433 will also evolve into 442 at any time according to Valencia's position."

"I guess Moyes really wanted to play defensively, but the recent good results of Manchester United gave him some ideas, so he came up with such a defensive formation to fight against us."

"Whether it's the three players in the midfield or Valencia who plays as a winger or a full-back, the defensive ability is good. They may want to use the advantages of the home court to attack and see the situation. If not, they will turn to defense. "

"Then, we may have to make some adjustments accordingly..."

……

With the sound of passionate music, the referee team has led the players of the two teams into Old Trafford one after another.

All the fans burst into applause!

Pan Yi took the initiative to walk over to shake hands with Moyes.

Although the two sides had a bit of tit-for-tat before the game, it was all for the game.

For a good old man like Moyes, Pan Yi will not have any real hostility.

"Hamburg fans say you are a genius, and Manchester United fans say I am a genius." Moyes suddenly laughed when shaking hands, "Today we will have a competition to see who is the real genius!"

Pan Yi almost laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly, Moyes is also quite humorous.

Also learned to blackmail it.

"Your five-back formation is indeed a genius." Pan Yi also laughed, "But Valencia will go to the forward line later, right? Don't say you went to Bielsa or Van Gaal overnight to learn A three-back tactic..."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Moyes laughed, "In this way, we are 433 on both sides, so do you think I will focus on offense or defense today?"

"It depends on where your Valencia stands." Pan Yi smiled slyly, "No matter how you arrange it, I already have a corresponding countermeasure. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Pan Yi looked very relaxed, which made Moyes very envious.

This guy is only 27 years old!

Why is it like being 72 years old, it seems that I have seen all the scenes, I will not fear any opponent at all, and my psychological quality is also very good.

And Pan Yi's judgment on Moyes' tactics is exactly the same.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Pan Yi showed such confidence at this time.

But this is a move that Moyes came up with after careful consideration. It can maintain the team's offensive power while ensuring that the overall defensive ability does not decline.

In this way, the original intention of defensive counterattack can be taken into account while maintaining the satisfaction of Manchester United fans.

But Pan Yi saw through his intention in an instant.

And when the two shook hands and Pan Yi turned around and walked towards the visiting team's bench, Moyes' smiling face disappeared immediately.

His brows also wrinkled involuntarily.

Reminiscent of Pan Yi's high-profile before the game, and listening to what he said now, Moyes unconsciously became a little guilty:
Is he bluffing me?
Did he really find a way to break his tactics in such a short period of time?
……

With the whistle of the referee, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals officially began!
Burgers kick off.

Vardy handed the ball to Salah on the side, and Salah passed back directly to Casemiro in the midfielder position.

After Casemiro got the ball, he found that Manchester United's players were pressing hard.

Rooney, Welbeck, and Valencia all rushed towards Hamburg's back line, including the midfielder.

It really is a three-forward formation!
And this also indicates that Manchester United, as Pan Yi expected, adopted an active attack at the beginning, pressing and pressing in the frontcourt.

But the Hamburg players have seen a lot of this.

At the moment Casemiro was not in a hurry and passed the ball back to Van Dijk.

Several players on the Hamburg back line began to fall again.

Old Trafford immediately booed again.

At this time, Manchester United's players were pressing higher, and they were more active in the attack, including the midfielder Carrick who was also assisting the forward line to press.

When the ball reached Robertson, Rooney and Valencia rushed towards him, and Welbeck cut his pass to the centre-back.

At this time, Robertson saw Sun Xingmin in front of him raising his hand for the ball, so he swung his legs and wanted to make a long pass to the front.

But this time under the pressure of the opponent, his kick was a bit hasty, and the ball was closer to the sideline.

Son Heung-min jumped up and stopped with his chest, but when his feet landed, the whole ball went out of the sideline at the same time.

Manchester United's throw-in.

The Old Trafford stadium was filled with jubilation and bursts of applause.

Of course, the applause was given to the Hamburg players, and it was a "praise" for their good pass and good stop.

Robertson stretched out his hand to signal to Sun Xingmin that he did not pass well, and Sun Xingmin gave Robertson a thumbs up, saying that his teammates did a good job.

This is what a team with a good atmosphere will often do, and it's what a mature team should do.

When teammates make mistakes, they encourage each other, not blame.

But this mistake did hand over Hamburg's opening ball to Manchester United.

United took the throw-in and started to attack with the ball.

Hamburg, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, and retreated the front line to defend, which seemed very cautious.

So, judging from the scene, Manchester United had the upper hand.

They were attacking, while Hamburg was defending and did not press high.

This makes United fans happy, while many neutral fans and media feel a little confused.

Wasn't Pan Yi very high-profile before the game?

Didn't they say they were going to overthrow Manchester United at Old Trafford?

Why are you so timid when you come up?

……

"Steady first, let's find out the truth before we talk."

This is what Pan Yi said to the players before they entered the field.

The lineup Moyes made today is indeed a bit new. In fact, even Pan Yi can't fully guess his thoughts.

So to a certain extent, what Pan Yi said when the two shook hands was indeed bluffing Moyes.

But the question is, even Moyes himself, does he really know what kind of play he will play?

If he had really found a solution to Manchester United's problems a long time ago, he would not be in the current half-dead state.

It is really difficult to rely on these people now.

Unless there is a substitution, change to a group of people who can suit Moyes' tactics.

But how easy is it?
Good players, especially players who can adapt to the coach's tactics, cost money.

It is really rare to be able to spend a small amount of money to accomplish big things like Pan Yi.

This is why what Pan Yi did in Hamburg can attract the attention of the football world.

Not only did he bring the team's results, but he also used players who were originally looked down upon by everyone!

Then, as the results rose, the identities of these little-known players also rose sharply, which is equivalent to making a lot of money for the club.

Who doesn't like a head coach who can achieve results and make money?
But obviously, Moyes is not such a person.

He also does not have the ability to find such high-quality and cheap players, let alone ask Manchester United's top management to buy people according to his wishes.

So he can only test his new tactics on the basis of existing players.

The problem is, the coach has inertia, and the players also have inertia.

No matter how you change it, it is difficult to change some habits in the game without long-term training and competition.

Just like the biography.

It's almost inscribed in the DNA of this Moyes Manchester United player.

But Pan Yi still can't confirm whether Moyes has developed a new trick, so he needs to observe.

He wants to use the few minutes after the opening to stabilize the defense and see if there are any new changes in Manchester United's offense under such a transformation of formation.

……

Now Manchester United have launched another attack.

The two full-backs, Phil Jones and Ashley Young, are positioned relatively forward at this time. It seems that Moyes' opening strategy is really to attack more proactively.

When Carrick got the ball in the middle, Ashley Young also started to drive in at high speed, and made a cross with the winger Valencia on this side, and then slammed into the bottom line!
And then there's...

cross!

Ashley Young hit the cross without hesitation.

Although the accuracy of this cross is not bad, Rooney is also waiting in the small penalty area.

But the Hamburg side has long been waiting for it, and Van Dijk's body is tightly leaning against Rooney, making it impossible for Lu Xiaopang to get up.

And Van Dijk easily shook his head and headed the ball out.

"It seems that nothing has changed." Pan Yi on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.

The various changes of Moyes were finally implemented in the final cross.

This is the so-called "simplification into complexity".

And dealing with such tactics is of course very simple.

Even a team like Fulham can defend Manchester United, but Hamburg can't?
Hamburg has super central defenders like Van Dijk and Rudiger!

And neither Rooney, Welbeck, let alone Valencia, are actually not good at heading.

In the next few attacks, Manchester United's performance also confirmed that Moyes did not have many tricks.

Either a two-pass and one-hit-the-wall cooperation in the middle, and then split from the midfielder to the winger, and let the winger pass;

Or it is to insert the edge from the wing, and after the winger and the full-back cooperate, let the full-back come down to pass...

These offensive routines were all within Pan Yi's expectations, and they were also the focus of defense in Hamburg's pre-match drills, so they were basically nothing to worry about.

As a result, Pan Yi began to signal Hamburg to increase the intensity of pressing, and also began to pay attention to the restrictions on Manchester United's two wings.

This means that it is almost done, and it is time for us to perform.

Moreover, even crossing also limits you!

Otherwise, if you pass a hundred feet, wouldn't you have to be caught in one or two?

And when Hamburg mentioned the rhythm, Manchester United was a little uncomfortable.

As far as the current ability of Manchester United's three midfielders to play the ball, it is really not Hamburg's opponent.

In the 10th minute of the game, Fellaini took the ball in the middle, and Casemiro snatched the ball back.

Fellaini immediately counterattacked, but Casemiro was very capable of protecting the ball. He leaned on his body while dribbling the ball, and he insisted on bringing the ball to a relatively forward position.

At this time, many Manchester United players are still attacking in front, and there are not many defensive personnel.

In order to prevent Casemiro from continuing to dribble the ball and pose a threat, Fellaini made a shovel and shoveled Casemiro to the ground.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

Free kick.

This is a position not far from the outside of Manchester United's penalty area, slightly to the left.

De Bruyne came over and took the free kick.

Although it was a bit off, but in terms of his footwork, it should still be within range.

And the other Hamburg teammates are all walking into the penalty area at this time, and it seems that De Bruyne is indeed going to shoot directly.

Under De Gea's command, Manchester United also formed a four-person wall, watching De Bruyne nervously.

De Bruyne runs up and kicks!
But he did not choose to shoot directly.

He just kicked the ball out in a very low arc, let it just go over the wall, to the front point.

There, the fast-reacting Hamburg striker Vardy has already sprinted to the position suddenly.

Although his height and weight are not as good as Manchester United's two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic, Vardy's starting speed is very fast.

And this free kick coordination was obviously practiced by the Hamburg team. As soon as De Bruyne stretched out his hand, Vardy started to run there.

In this way, the ball arrived, Vardy ran to the front point and jumped high, grabbed the first landing point before the two Manchester United central defenders took off, and flew the header to the outside of the right corner of the penalty area.

Yes, Vardy is not a shot this time!

He is at the front point at this time. If he wants to force a shot, he can only rub it with his scalp. In fact, it is difficult to threaten the current Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

And Ferdinand also rushed to the goal to make up for the moment Vardy rushed to the ball, leaving him with less space to shoot.

So he is the ferry.

And this is what he does more often in the penalty area now.

This kind of ferry is not easy to guard against.

Because everyone's attention is focused on De Bruyne who is passing the ball and Vardy who is receiving the ball, few people will pay attention to the far corner of the penalty area.

But here, Salah has come up from behind and stopped the ball firmly.

At this time, Manchester United's left-back Ashley Young also quickly made up for it. He was blocked in the corner of the penalty area and formed a one-on-one with Salah.

Salah took the ball, stepped forward in small steps, and slowly approached Ashley Young.

This is the characteristic of Salah. He can shake with small movements, and after finding the opponent's flaws, he may pass the ball in one go.

This is why he will be called the "Egyptian Messi".

And Ashley Young has obviously studied Salah's move, and he also fought and retreated, not in a hurry to make a move.

At this time, Salah stopped the ball and made a move to find Vardy in the penalty area with his left foot.

Ashley Young stretched his leg hastily to block the angle of the pass, but Salah just feinted.

He swung the ball forward with the outside instep of his left foot, and then caught up with him, peeping at the defensive vacuum that appeared at the front of the penalty area, and sent an inverted triangle return pass with his right foot.

He was not passed to Vardy, but to De Bruyne who was inserted in the middle!

After Ding Ding took the free kick just now, he didn't know when he turned to the middle again, and then stood outside the penalty area and waited for the opportunity.

And at this time, the opportunity has come!
There is no defensive player in front of De Bruyne!
Who pays attention to a person taking a free kick?
"Manchester United is in danger now!!!"

"The center at the front of their box is empty and De Bruyne has the ball!"

"He has plenty of time to aim and exert power!"

"He's kicking! He's pumping! He's cumming!"

"Go in!!!!!! Go in go in go in!!!!"

"In the opening 12 minutes, De Bruyne opened the scoring for the team in Hamburg!"

"It felt like another well-designed free-kick. De Bruyne went forward and Varedi headed the ball to the other side."

"Then using Salah's breakthrough ability, he successfully attracted the attention of all Manchester United's defensive players. At this time, De Bruyne had already run all the way to the front of the penalty area. Salah's pass and De Bruyne's running The bit is just right."

"Let's look at this slow-motion replay again. Yes, Salah didn't even look up at De Bruyne's position when he passed the ball. He knew there must be his team-mates there!"

"Hamburg's entire offensive coordination is very clear. This must be a routine that has been practiced many times! I have to say that Hamburg is indeed unique in the design of offensive routines."

"I don't remember how many times De Bruyne has scored from the back! This Belgian young midfielder is really handy in the position of a false winger. Whether it is passing or shooting, he has reached the goal. world class!"

"Now the score is 0:1, Manchester United is behind at home!..."

On the sidelines, Pan Yi, Nagelsmann, Inzaghi and others hugged one by one, then turned around and shouted hello to De Bruyne and the Hamburg players who walked back to the court.

Then Pan Yi took another look at the home team's bench.

At this time, Moyes showed that familiar face wearing a painful mask again.

The corner of Pan Yi's mouth curled slightly.

The current Moyes, the current Manchester United, is really not very good.

After the trial in the opening stage, once Hamburg exerted its strength, it felt that Manchester United could not catch it.

Pan Yi also proved that his remarks before the game were not full of words.

In dealing with the current Manchester United, he has every means!
