Chapter 263 Opening Champagne in Midfield
"Gary, what do you think of this goal?"

In the media seats in the stands, Carragher was looking at Neville with a smirk.

In the opening stage of today's game, Manchester United seemed to take the initiative on the field, frequently launching attacks in Hamburg's backcourt.

Hamburg, on the other hand, did not resort to their usual high position to press and oppress, but instead stepped back a little for stability.

It looked like Hamburg was a bit timid at the prestigious Old Trafford and didn't dare to press out and attack.

So in the broadcast booth of Sky Sports, Gary Neville also had the upper hand at the beginning.

He was proud of the spring breeze, pointing Jiangshan:

"What did I just say? Pan Yi is just stubborn. At Old Trafford, there is no good game to play!"

"What happened to the elimination of Manchester City? How can Manchester City have the Champions League DNA? But Manchester United does! Manchester United will play their best in the Champions League!"

"Look, how well Valencia passed the ball...It's a pity Rooney couldn't hit it. It doesn't matter, I will kick it in next time!"

"Look again, Ashley Young made a cross again..."

But the next plot is De Bruyne passing the ball, Vardy header ferry, Salah inverted triangle pass, De Bruyne shot successfully.

Now it's Carragher's turn.

As a Liverpool star, he would have been happy to see Manchester United deflated.

Now seeing Manchester United lose the ball, Neville's mouth suddenly closed, of course he was even more happy.

So he asked Neville this sentence in a strange way:
"Gary, what do you think of this goal?"

Neville's eyes looked at the field for a while, and then at the replay of the goal on the screen in front of him, unable to hold back a word for a long time.

"I see, Moyes was tricked by Pan Yi again in this game, and you were also fooled by the first 10 minutes." Carragher said with a smile.

"Cheat? What did you lie to?" Neville finally recovered.

"Look, Moyes put Valencia on the front line today, which is actually a bit like switching offense and defense at any time. If the situation is not right, put Valencia on the defense line." Carragher pointed to the field:
"But Pan Yi seemed to have seen Moyes' intentions, so he asked the players to retreat and lure Manchester United to attack."

"You can also see that Manchester United's players were really very active after the start. They started the game very fast. The players pressed on frequently, and the two full-backs even almost pressed to the winger position."

"But their attacks were thunderous and rainy. When they reached the frontcourt, they had no choice but to cross. And Pan Yi was also prepared for this, and Manchester United's many attacks were in vain. "

"Then 10 minutes later, Hamburg started to counterattack. The free kick that made the goal was to take advantage of Manchester United's massive pressure. Casemiro drove the ball straight in. Fellaini had no choice but to bring him down. .”

"So, this goal was born..."

In fact, Carragher guessed half of Pan Yi's thoughts correctly.

At the beginning, Pan Yi told Hamburg to stabilize its position and not rush to attack. It did seem like a trick to lure the enemy, but it should be more correct to say that it is just to find out the truth.

After all, Moyes' uncommon formation is quite bluffing!

It's a pity that at most it was bluffing for 10 minutes, and then it was revealed.

As for Carragher's statement, Neville obviously disagrees.

He retorted: "Are you a roundworm in Pan Yi's stomach? You know what he's thinking? He's going to talk nonsense... In my opinion, this is just an accident, an accident caused by a set-piece opportunity! According to the previous In 10 minutes, Manchester United would have pulled it back and leveled the score!"

"...I admire your blind self-confidence." Carragher said.

Neville snorted: "The main reason is that what you said is too vague. Pan Yi is so young, and he speaks as if he has been a coach for decades, and he can calculate everything so clearly? He is so powerful, why? Or coach at a small team like Hamburg?"

Carragher shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe after his contract with Hamburg expires this season, he will go to a rich team."

Neville sneered: "Hehe, what if he loses to Manchester United tonight? Who else will invite him? I still believe that Manchester United will beat Hamburg!"

Carragher curled his lips: "Just wait and see, Hamburg will score later."

"Why?"

"Just based on Manchester United's performance when they played against Manchester City and Liverpool. They will panic after falling behind, and their tactical thinking will start to be inconsistent, and then..."

Neville waved his hands wildly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

……

On the field.

Manchester United's style of play has not changed much, it is still similar to the beginning.

Now that they are behind at home, Moyes can only continue to adopt more proactive offensive tactics in an attempt to quickly regain the score.

But the Manchester United players soon discovered that they could no longer hold down Hamburg.

The running and fighting of Hamburg players are much more fierce than before the goal. This makes Manchester United's offense often only reach the front of Hamburg's penalty area before being destroyed, and the ball changes hands.

And Hamburg's counterattack after getting the ball was very fast, which made Manchester United's defensive players exhausted.

In the 20th minute, Manchester United once again attacked the frontcourt.

After making a couple of passes down the middle, Fletcher moved the ball down the right flank to Phil Jones on the wing.

Jones directly made a big cross and drove into the penalty area.

Rudiger grabbed the spot, overwhelmed Welbeck with a header to clear the siege, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

At this time, Salah, who retreated and participated in the defense, got the ball.

He took the ball a few steps forward, handed it to De Bruyne, and continued running along the wing.

At this time, Vardy in the middle and Sun Xingmin on the left are also advancing quickly, forming a three-shot attack.

This made the Manchester United players very nervous and desperately chased back to defend.

After De Bruyne used a change of direction to pass Fellaini, who was coming to defend, he continued to take the ball forward with strides, and quickly advanced to near the center line.

Before the opponent's Carrick came to block, De Bruyne gave a diagonal pass to Sun Xingmin, who was already in place on the left.

The South Korean star continued to move forward with the ball, and his sprint speed was even faster!

At this time, Vardy in the middle and Salah on the right have also rushed up, ready to meet Sun Xingmin.

For Manchester United, Ferdinand is close to Vardy, while Vidic is guarding Salah.

Even Jones rushed back, ready to tackle Sun Xingmin.

But at this time, Sun Xingmin suddenly made an emergency stop, and there was a space for passing the ball.

He sent a powerful cross into the penalty area with his right foot!

The ball flew past Vardy and Ferdinand to the back point.

At this time, Salah suddenly accelerated, went around from behind Vidic to the front of his body, and then a push shot with his left foot sent the ball into Manchester United's goal.

Although De Gea made a cross-body diving dive, he still failed to prevent Salah from scoring.

"Goallllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"

"In the 21st minute, Hamburg made another victory!"

"A very fast counterattack! From getting the ball to scoring, it only passed through the feet of three people, and it took less than ten seconds in total!"

"This is also a very classic counterattack in Hamburg! Salah gave the ball to De Bruyne and then plugged in. De Bruyne moved to the left, and then Sun Xingmin passed the ball and Salah shot!"

"The whole process of scoring is smooth and smooth, very beautiful! All the players' handling is very reasonable and very fast!"

"Now the score has come to 0:2, Manchester United has fallen behind by two goals at home! They seem to be a little stunned!"

The players in Hamburg hugged tightly to celebrate the team's goal, and Pan Yi on the sidelines also applauded for his disciples.

In the camera, Moyes' face is even more gloomy.

He also didn't expect that today's game would be so difficult.

He even had a little regret.

If he hadn't been dazzled by the victories in the last two rounds of the league, if he had resolutely fought against counterattacks as he had originally thought, would he be in this situation today?

But there is no regret medicine in the world to take.

As a professional coach, as a Manchester United coach, he is now two goals behind at home and he has to find a way to solve it.

but……

What can he do now? ? ?
"In the first 20 minutes or so, Manchester United conceded two goals in a row. This is really a heavy blow to the Red Devils who are playing at home at Old Trafford."

"Hamburg has significantly accelerated in the last 10 minutes of the game, and the Manchester United players are obviously a bit unable to keep up with the opponent's rhythm."

"Compared to the windy running of these young players in Hamburg, Manchester United is like a rusty old car, which can't move..."

"In the pre-match interviews, Pan Yi kept saying that Manchester United was easy to deal with, and many people felt that such remarks were too arrogant."

"But it only took him 20 minutes to prove that what he said seemed to be correct. Manchester United is indeed so vulnerable in front of Hamburg..."

……

Sky Sports media seats.

Carragher looked at Neville: "What do you say now?"

Neville: "... Manchester United will have amazing tenacity and energy to fight back when they are behind, especially in the Champions League. Have you forgotten how we came back to win against Bayern in 1999?"

Carragher: "But at that time the team had Beckham, even crosses were much more accurate than now. And the breakthrough of Giggs at the peak was extremely sharp, unlike now, only crosses, blind crosses ..."

Neville: "People have changed, but the spirit of Manchester United will never change! Just wait and see, Manchester United will fight back soon!"

……

In 30 minutes, Manchester United once again organized an attack.

This time I want to hit Valencia's side on the right.

Valencia used his speed to run forward quickly, trying to get all the way to the bottom line and then sweep the goal to complete the cross.

This should be more efficient than directly lobbing the goal. After all, Rooney may not be as good as Van Dijk in heading the ball, but it is quite possible to run to grab points.

But Hamburg seems unwilling to let him have the opportunity to play comfortably.

Valencia had just passed the center line, and several Hamburg players surrounded him.

Robertson was in front of him, blocking his path forward with the ball.

Kante is on his left, preventing him from passing the ball down the middle.

On the other hand, Casemiro went straight up, leaned against Valencia with his body, and then arched his buttocks to get the ball.

Valencia was thrown to the ground and loudly protested to the referee.

But the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue.

This is a normal physical confrontation, of course not blowing.

If this level of confrontation is also blown, then in the Premier League, it is not known how many fouls will be blown in a game.

After Casemiro took the ball, he passed it directly to De Bruyne, who came forward to meet him.

De Bruyne stopped the ball and passed it to Vardy who retreated in front. Vardy passed it to Salah on the other side, who passed it back to De Bruyne.

This continuous one-foot pass is certainly not aimless.

After Valencia lost the ball, several Manchester United players immediately launched a counterattack, wanting to regain the ball right away and make another counterattack.

But with such a pass, Manchester United's counter-grab was cracked. They failed to touch the ball, so they could only turn around and defend.

At this time, because Manchester United players are all running back, the formation is also slightly loose.

De Bruyne glanced ahead, quickly sent a long pass with a relatively low arc over the top, and gave the ball directly to the left behind Manchester United's defense.

I saw Sun Xingmin sprinting at the fastest speed and caught the ball before Jones.

"This attack feels exactly like the development of the last goal! This time there is also no offside, it is a good goal!"

"De Bruyne did the same and found Sun Xingmin on the left with a direct long pass. Is he going to cross the center again? Vardy and Salah are also in place again!"

"No, this time Sun Xingmin left Jones behind in a single pass, and then dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area!"

After Sun Xingmin passed Jones, Ferdinand also hurried over to defend.

On the other hand, Sun Xingmin made an emergency stop and changed direction, then pulled his right foot horizontally, and lightly stepped on the outer instep.

Although this did not shake Ferdinand completely away, it still gave him enough shooting angle.

After Sun Xingmin adjusted, he aimed at the goal, and his right foot directly hit a curve ball.

This shot came a bit suddenly, and the speed of the ball was extremely fast, and the angle was also very tricky.

Manchester United's Spanish goalkeeper De Gea's performance tonight is not bad. Apart from those two goals, he has actually saved several threatening shots from Hamburg.

But this time, Son Xingmin shot too well.

Although De Gea still reacted quickly and made a sideways lunge, he was still powerless.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"0:3! Manchester United is behind by three goals! Hamburg is crazy!"

"Scoring a goal every 10 minutes, now 30 minutes, exactly three goals!"

"I'm afraid everyone at Old Trafford today can't imagine that today's game will be like this?"

"Even the most optimistic Hamburg fans think that Pan Yi's team can beat Manchester United three goals in half an hour? This is still at Manchester United's home ground!"

"The Manchester United players looked a little overwhelmed. They certainly didn't expect to play so badly today!"

"In my opinion, this situation is still to be blamed on Moyes. He changed the formation on the spot, maybe he wanted to kick Pan Yi by surprise. But the formation changed, but the style of play did not change. Hamburg is not worth it."

"And Hamburg's style of play is also very simple, that is, to use the speed of the two wings to attack Manchester United. Faced with this style of play, Moyes obviously has no way to deal with it, just watching his sideways once Torn apart in the same way again and again."

"Before the game, Pan Yi thought that Manchester United played well. Many people may not believe it. But judging from the performance in the first half tonight, Hamburg is indeed superior to Manchester United! And it is still a lot ahead! "

"Whether it is the personal ability of the players or the strategy and tactics of the coach, Hamburg has achieved a complete victory! Hamburg has scored three goals, and Manchester United has not even had any real threatening shooting opportunities so far..."

……

In the grandstand of Old Trafford, Manchester United's meritorious coach Sir Alex Ferguson was sitting on his seat with a livid face, his hands trembling slightly.

Sitting next to him is Ed Woodward, the CEO of Manchester United, known as the "San Dezi".

His complexion is not very good-looking either.

At home, falling behind 0:3 before halftime, this is not common even in Manchester United's century-old history.

But this "uncommon" situation has often appeared in Manchester United this season.

For example, he lost a lot of games (finally lost 12 games in the whole season), for example, he was double-killed by Liverpool and Manchester City, for example, he lost to West Bromwich Albion for the first time at home...

Manchester United led by Moyes is really disappointing!
And this disappointing Moyes was introduced by Ferguson and Woodward himself.

This is too much of a slap in the face for them!
In fact, before the start of the game, they also had similar thoughts to Moyes.

That is, since this year's league is destined to fail, then perform well in the Champions League.

And Manchester United obviously got a "good lottery". After all, among the remaining seven teams, Hamburg is the only team that can't be called a giant. Its experience in European wars is not rich enough, so it is relatively easy to deal with. Some.

It's better than drawing teams like Bayern and Real Madrid, right?

But what I didn't expect was that in the first round of the game, just half an hour later, Hamburg beat him 0:3.

Woodward can fully imagine, if Manchester United really suffered such a disastrous defeat, then tomorrow, how the entire British media circle will ridicule and ridicule him, how they will mock him for signing Moyes at that time...

"I heard that Pan Yi's contract in Hamburg expires at the end of this season?" Ferguson asked suddenly.

Woodward nodded: "Yes. They have never started a plan to renew the contract. I heard that they will wait until the end of the season to see the team's results."

"I also heard that both Manchester City and Tottenham are interested in this Pan Yi." Ferguson touched his chin, "They are quite quick."

"My lord, what do you mean..."

"I think this young coach is really good, we can also try to contact him."

"Oh?" Woodward was a little surprised, but still said, "But I heard that Pan Yi has very high requirements for the authority of the team he owns. At least it is... the level you were in the team back then."

"Haha, this kid is really interesting." Ferguson smiled. "I didn't expect him to be so young, yet he still has ideas."

Woodward said: "But he is still so young, his resume is not enough, and he does not have the DNA of the team... If he is given such a large authority rashly, I am afraid there will be some troubles."

"It can all be discussed." Ferguson said, "I came to Manchester United from Scotland, and I didn't have that much authority. I did it slowly. You can ask him what he means first, can you take it step by step, after all We are Manchester United, the club with the most fans in the world..."

Woodward pointed to the field: "Then, Moyes..."

Ferguson shook his head: "If we lose today and are eliminated, even if we want to stay, Manchester United fans will not want him. I admit that I was wrong. Maybe he is really not suitable for us, or the small and medium teams need him more."

Woodward nodded, turned his head to continue watching the game, and stopped talking.

He understood that Ferguson was right.

Moyes spent a failed season at Manchester United. He is likely to lose his European qualifications, and he is often beaten by various strong teams.

Facing Hamburg now, this last straw seems impossible to grasp, so Moyes must not be able to stay.

If it is really forced to stay, maybe the target of fans' attacks will change from Moyes to Woodward himself...

No matter from which point of view, Moyes must go.

And since this is the case, finding a successor is the top priority.

Now that Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a fancy to Pan Yi in Hamburg, Woodward naturally wants to get in touch.

But he was actually a little skeptical.

Because Pan Yi is actually quite famous in the coach's "transfer market".

On the one hand, this young coach has become increasingly famous in world football due to his outstanding record in recent years and the discovery and training of young players;
On the other hand, it is his "obsession" with the management authority of the team. Every club that wants to contact him knows it, so basically they will only offer terms that satisfy Pan Yi.

But Manchester United is such a big club, and it really can't really come up like Hamburg and let a young coach take care of everything without reservation.

So Manchester United has a disadvantage in this area.

But Woodward also believes that Manchester United's golden sign should be attractive to young people from Longguo like Pan Yi.

Maybe he has a "children's dream"?

So, let's talk about it.

……

On the other side of the stands, the Sky Sports media seats.

Carragher looked at Neville again: "Now? How about it?"

Neville: "Being behind 0:3 does not mean that the game is over. Have you forgotten that in the 2005 Champions League final, your Liverpool was 0:3, catching up in the second half, and finally won the championship ..."

Carragher: "...Thank you, of course I remember, I was on the field at the time. But, as far as this Manchester United team is concerned, I don't think they have much energy. Do you really believe that they can pull it back?"

Neville: "Just wait and see, Hamburg is about to open champagne at midfield. By then, it's time for Manchester United to start counterattacking!..."
