Chapter 274 Eliminate Atletico Madrid in the Most Atletico Madrid Way

During the halftime break, Pan Yi did not make any adjustments to the lineup.

Even he wasn't prepared to make any adjustments at some point in the second half.

Firstly, he believes that the players on the field can perfectly execute his tactical intentions;

Second come...

He already made two passive substitutions in the first half.

In other words, Hamburg now has only one substitution.

At the Calderon Stadium, in front of the wolf-like Atletico Madrid, this substitution should be reserved for a rainy day.

Although every passive substitution resulted in a goal, Pan Yi still felt that it was not worthwhile.

If the "sacrifice" of his own players is over, who will win the Champions League for him?

"We are three goals ahead on aggregate and they have to score four to knock us out."

Pan Yi first praised his players: "Such an advantageous situation is inseparable from your excellent performance in the past 135 minutes!"

Then, he began to emphasize the situation and importance of the second half of the game:
"However, there are still 45 minutes left in the game! In other words, we haven't really reached the Champions League final yet."

"On a stage like the semi-finals of the Champions League, against a team like Atletico Madrid in Calderon, if someone told me that they could really score four goals, I would believe it."

"In the history of the UEFA Champions League, there are not one or two cases where a player fell behind by three goals and achieved a comeback. I won't give an example here. I think your ears will be numb."

"However, I believe that this kind of thing will not happen to us, because we will not slack off, let our guard down, and celebrate early!"

"In the second half, Atlético will attack us harder from the start, there is no doubt about it."

"Then let's organize the defense and wait for him to attack! I don't need to fight against them, because I want to win this victory with the least consumption."

"Of course we are not just sitting around in the backcourt, we will attack when it is time to attack, and strive to disrupt their rhythm and make their offense chaotic!"

"Finally, let's go out and fight, for De Bruyne and for Son Xingmin!"

Pan Yi's final proclamation immediately aroused the fighting spirit of the generals in Hamburg.

They responded one after another, then stood up, and walked out of the locker room door with their heads held high one by one!
……

The second half of the game begins.

On the court, Atletico Madrid's players really put pressure on Hamburg's midfield from the very beginning, pushing the defense directly past the center line.

Simeone also stood in the coach's command area and yelled from the first minute of the game whistle.

He knows that there is not much time left for Atletico Madrid.

To score four goals in Hamburg in 45 minutes!This is almost an impossible task.

Even the bandit handsome Simeone with such a firm will is actually very disturbed in his heart.

But he also knew that he could not reveal his uneasiness to the disciples under his command, otherwise it would definitely shake the morale of the army.

Therefore, in the locker room during the intermission, Simeone also gave Atletico Madrid players blood, talking about many cases of turning defeat into victory, cheering up the players and creating miracles!
Although the Atletico Madrid players rushed out of the locker room screaming, they found that it is actually very difficult to create miracles when they got to the court.

The reason why miracles are called "miracles" is because of their rarity and irreproducibility.

In the second half, Hamburg played Atletico Madrid's best bus tactics, and the fight was also very active, which made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to play a threatening attack.

So Simeone can only stand in the command area more and more impatiently and shout.

But Pan Yi seemed much more relaxed.

He just sat on the coach's bench and chatted with the assistants, eating snacks, and didn't make any on-the-spot instructions to the players on the field.

The arrangements that should be made were made during the intermission.

All he has to do now is to watch the performance of his disciples on the court.

In Hamburg's midfield, Calhanoglu, Kante and Paulinho are currently standing in front of Casemiro, while Vardy's position in the striker is slightly to the left, echoing Salah on the right. .

So Hamburg is actually a 4132 formation now to deal with Atletico Madrid's offense.

Although Atletico Madrid's scrambling and high-position pressure are at the top level even in the entire European football world, the Hamburg players are more confident when they have a big lead, and they are more calm and confident in handling the ball on the court.

Coupled with Pan Yi's clear instructions and effective encouragement during the intermission, the players were more resolute and thorough in implementing the team's tactics, which made Atletico Madrid's waves of offense not smooth.

Moreover, as soon as Hamburg grabs the ball, the players in the midfield will immediately launch a fast, unsophisticated and resolute counterattack, which will also force Atletico Madrid to temporarily switch to a defensive stance, which will also increase Atletico Madrid's offensive efficiency. reduce.

According to common sense, when Hamburg counterattacks, it is actually also an opportunity for Atletico Madrid.

Because Atletico Madrid can also counter-steal the ball at this time, and then play Hamburg's counter-attack!
But at this time, it is necessary to have a player with a wider vision and more delicate footwork to launch such a long pass and fast break, to play the empty space when the Hamburg counterattacks.

The problem is that most of Atletico Madrid's players are engineers, not Pirlo or De Bruyne.

When they launched long passes, their accuracy rate was pitifully low, and it was also difficult for Diego Costa and Villa in front to catch such a ball.

So, is it okay to use a short pass?
The answer is also no.

If Hamburg is intercepted during a counterattack, the frontcourt players will immediately counterattack on the spot, which makes it difficult for Atletico Madrid players to pass quickly under such high pressure.

If such a short pass is forced, it is easy to make mistakes.

And once a mistake, Hamburg immediately launched a quick counterattack, and in this way Hamburg is the counterattack of the counterattack of Atletico Madrid and Hamburg. At this time, the ball is often still in the backcourt of Atletico Madrid, which will be even more dangerous!
Simeone certainly knows the danger.

But he had to take such risks to continue to attack.

Who made them the one behind now?

And still three goals behind, they have to score four!

However, as the minutes passed, and now the game has entered the 60th minute, the progress of this goal is still 0.

Everyone knows that Atletico Madrid is now the end of the world.

Simeone started to make substitutions at this time.

He successively replaced Raul Garcia with Juanfran, Arda Turan and Gabi with Thiago Mendes and Diego.

His continuous substitutions were not because he really wanted to complete an epic reversal in the last half hour, but because these people were too tired.

Atletico Madrid's players tried their best to run and output from the very beginning, and all of them spared no effort.

But after more than an hour of fierce fighting, many players began to show signs of fatigue.

And what about Hamburg?

They haven't made any substitutions, but they all seem to be able to run better than Atletico Madrid.

After playing for more than 60 minutes, everyone was alive and kicking like nothing happened.

"How come all the players in Hamburg can run so well?"

Simeone cursed with a wry smile.

Of course he also knew the reason for this phenomenon.

In addition to the fact that the Hamburg players themselves are younger and physically stronger than Atletico Madrid, their style of play today also determines that the consumption will be lower than Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid players rushed forward one by one, and they were also under the psychological pressure of being eliminated soon. The physical energy consumption was obviously huge.

On the Hamburg side, the fence is firmly set up and waits for you to attack. Only when you fight back, you will explode quickly, and if you can't, you will come back, then play music and dance!
In this way, it is no wonder that Atletico Madrid is not tired!

In this regard, Zhan Jun also analyzed:
"There are still more than 20 minutes left in the game, but judging from the scene, we can't see any signs of Atletico Madrid's comeback."

"It's not that they are too far behind Hamburg to make a comeback. After all, it is possible to score four goals and five goals in a few minutes, isn't it?"

"But now, whether it is the running ability of the players, the activeness of cooperation, or the fighting spirit of the players, Atletico Madrid is obviously behind Hamburg."

"In the first half of the second half, Atletico Madrid seemed to be able to hold down the siege of Hamburg, but now, Atletico Madrid feels that it is becoming more and more difficult to pass through the midfield."

"Pan Yi made a rare combination of three forwards and one midfielder in the midfield today, which made Hamburg's defense stronger, and Simeone has never been able to find a good solution to this."

"This is actually a bit similar to the first round in a sense, that is, Atletico Madrid seems to have a chance on the surface, but in fact this kind of opportunity is deliberately shown to the opponent by Pan Yi. In fact, this kind of opportunity is nonexistent."

"Atletico Madrid didn't really have a shot that could threaten Hamburg's goal! Now Simeone has used up three substitutions, but the situation on the field is still not improving."

"The game is coming to an end soon, and Atletico Madrid still need to score four goals to win... The fact that this is in front of everyone, Atletico Madrid players may just realize how impossible it is to complete this task, which leads to morale. Decline, let alone fighting spirit."

"And fighting spirit is crucial for a team, especially for a team like Atletico Madrid that relies on will and fighting to play."

"So, I can even say this in advance, Hamburg has won this Champions League semi-final victory, they can hold their heads high and enter the Champions League final!..."

It wasn't until the 85th minute that Pan Yi made a substitution, and at the same time used up the last substitution spot in his hand.

This time, captain Westman was used and forward Salah was replaced.

And Westerman stood next to Casemiro after he came on the field, forming a double midfielder with him.

Hamburg's formation has also changed to a 4231, but the "3" here is three central midfielders, and their positions are relatively low.

Sometimes Paulinho would even retreat a bit, forming a three-man midfielder with Westerman and Casemiro.

This is completely different from the "4231" in the usual 3 formation, which includes an attacking midfielder and two wingers.

The signal of this substitution is also very obvious: okay, that's it, I won't attack anymore, what do you like!
Then of course Hamburg's overall front line retreated more. They built a defensive line in their own half and organized a tight defense, let alone fighting against Atletico Madrid.

So, while attacking without confidence and morale, and wanting to walk out of the court safely while not wanting to attack, the remaining few minutes became pure garbage time.

Before the chronograph had even turned to 90 minutes, the referee, who was eager to get off work, blew the final whistle.

The score of this game was also fixed at 0:2.

And Hamburg also defeated Atletico Madrid with a total score of 3:0 and entered the Champions League final of this season!

But at this time, Pan Yi, who had always been calm, seemed more excited than anyone else.

He was first on the pitch and hugged Kante.

——Of course, he didn't choose Kanter to hold him on purpose. Who made Kanter the closest to him?

When people are excited, they just want to find someone to hug and dance with. As for who that person is, it doesn't matter.

Of course Pan Yi was excited.

This is the first time he has led the team to the final of the Champions League!
Although he had dreamed of such a day from the first day he led Hamburg, when it really came true, Pan Yi still thought it was so dreamy!

There is really no way not to be excited!

As for Pan Yi, the other coaches, players, etc. in Hamburg, of course, ran around wildly, and finally huddled together, singing and dancing.

This is the Champions League final!
Even those veterans who often play in the Champions League can hardly resist its temptation, let alone these young people in the Hamburg team.

For most people, stepping into the Champions League final is like a dream!
And it was Pan Yi who calmed down first.

After all, this is the Calderon Stadium!

Everyone's celebration should not be too much, let's talk about it when we go home.

Earlier, Hamburg was overthrown and two people were here. If this group of bandits were offended, it would be the Hamburgers who were fighting away from home...

Therefore, Pan Yi hurriedly greeted the players and the Hamburg fans and went back to the locker room after the game.

But at this time, Simeone took the initiative to find Pan Yi, which shocked Pan Yi.

Isn't this guy here to kill people?
As the head coach of Atletico Madrid, it is reasonable to bring a hammer and machete to the court.

But Simeone extended his hand to Pan Yi: "You have trained a great team, I admit, we really lost."

This is what Simeone said from the bottom of his heart.

When he heard the final whistle, he saw Pan Yi rushing out of the coaching bench of the visiting team, as well as the Hamburg players, watching them wildly cheering and celebrating on the field, of course he felt very uncomfortable.

But there was also a trace of regret in his heart.

Because he knew that he was not wronged at all when he lost to Hamburg.

Even in the game, Atletico escaped two red cards, or at least one red penalty.

After two passive substitutions, Hamburg still did not give Atletico Madrid any chance.

It can be said that Hamburg defeated Atletico Madrid by KO with its own strength, not by "points".

Pan Yi has created a very strong and unique team that can fully demonstrate his personal coaching style.

This team is very flexible in the game, almost as if Pan Yi is controlling a team in the game, and can play whatever tactics he wants.

This is simply the ideal state in the mind of every head coach!
The failure of these two rounds also exposed many problems of Atletico Madrid. In fact, it also reminded Simeone of the direction of future team changes and improvements.

This also set a new goal for Simeone.

That is to build Atletico Madrid into a team like Hamburg that can switch tactical goals at any time!
This will become the focus of his work in the next few years!
"Thank you." Pan Yi also reached out and held Simeone's hand, but his tone was not very kind, and he didn't even look at Simeone seriously.

Of course Simeone knew why Pan Yi was upset.

If the two generals under him were injured by each other, Simeone would only be even more upset, and even wanted to do it!
But he couldn't apologize either.

If there is an apology, it is tantamount to saying that there is a problem with Costa's or Alderweireld's defensive actions.

For Simeone, who emphasizes fierce style and fierce fighting, this is simply a slap in the face.

It is okay to admit that the skills are not as good as others, but it is not something Simeone can do if he has to admit that the team's style of play is not good and the style of play is not good.

Besides, if a head coach tells the opponent's head coach what's wrong with his players, and if it reaches the ears of these players, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the locker room.

Is he still the head coach of Atletico Madrid?
So, Simeone just barely squeezed out a smile:
"I want you to win the title. In any case, I don't want our city rivals to win the Champions League again."

In another Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid once again defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 and also entered the Champions League final.

They will also be the last opponents of Hamburg.

Pan Yi frowned: "I wish you a good word. Then..."

With that said, Pan Yi pointed to the player tunnel.

Now the Hamburg players have all left the pitch and walked back to the locker room.

When Pan Yi said this, he obviously didn't want to talk too much with Simeone.

Since you don't think there is anything wrong with your players hurting people on the field, then we have nothing to talk about.

Simeone smiled awkwardly: "Okay, goodbye. I wanted to ask about..."

But Pan Yi had turned around and left at this time.

With a wave of his sleeves, he does not take away a cloud.

……

Hamburg beat Atletico Madrid!

Pan Yi easily defeated Simeone!
Hamburg eliminated Atletico Madrid in the most Atletico way!

On the second day, media from all over the world analyzed and reported the game.

Obviously, 1:0 and 2:0, these are the most frequent scores in Atletico Madrid games in the past.

This time, the two scores also appeared, but the winner was Hamburg.

It's not just the score, either.

In the game, Hamburg almost used the defensive counterattack that Atletico Madrid is most proud of, and taught Atletico Madrid a lesson.

Atletico Madrid seemed to have suppressed Hamburg at the beginning of the game, but was unable to score a goal for a long time. Instead, they were hit by Hamburg and knocked down with two shots.

This shows that in the competition between the coaches of the two teams, Pan Yi has the upper hand.

All Atletico Madrid's offensive methods seem to be under the control of Pan Yi, and Hamburg's formation is also very targeted, which makes Atletico Madrid's midfield play very difficult and the threat of offense is greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Pan Yi quickly made adjustments when his main player was injured and left the field, and allowed the team to maintain its combat effectiveness, which did not cause the situation to develop in a direction that was not conducive to his side.

When it comes to this, the focus of media attention is naturally focused on these two fouls by Atletico Madrid.

"According to Hamburg officials, De Bruyne's right ankle injury is still quite serious, and it is expected to be out for one to two months. This also means that he will definitely miss the Champions League final that will be held in three weeks!"

"Fortunately, De Bruyne should be able to catch up with the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil. The first game of the Belgian national team will be played on June 6, even if De Bruyne cannot fully recover from injury. , can also play in the following games.”

"And Sun Xingmin's situation will be slightly better. He has a facial injury and is expected to rest for two weeks, and he may need to wear a mask to protect his face when he plays."

"For such a bad two fouls, Atletico Madrid didn't get a single red card! This is definitely a dereliction of duty by the referee team!"

"It is strongly recommended that the video playback be added to the penalty standard to avoid the recurrence of such incidents..."

"But from this we can also see the rareness of Hamburg's victory. After encountering such a difficult emergency, they can still stabilize their mentality, slowly deal with Atletico Madrid, and finally achieved a convincing victory. victory."

"In the post-match press conference, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone refused to comment on the two fouls, but he expressed his admiration for Hamburg coach Pan Yi, which is really a contradiction. ..."

When it comes to Simeone, of course there are endless criticisms of him.

In addition to saying that he condoned malicious fouls by players, he pointed the finger at his tactics more.

"Aspen" said that Simeone made a serious mistake in the game.

"Simeone overestimated his team's ability to adapt to new tactics."

"He thought that if he won a game with 352 in the league, he could use it in the Champions League."

"Unfortunately, the opponent he met was Hamburg. Pan Yi quickly found the loophole of his 352 set and took advantage of it, and finally beat Atletico Madrid to pieces!"

"Aspen" also believes that Simeone's tactical thinking is to press the attack after the opening to disrupt the rhythm and deployment of Hamburg, and strive to score as soon as possible to regain the disadvantage of the first round.

But now the abilities of these Atletico Madrid players cannot support the team's tactics.

The player's skills and ability to execute tactics make Atletico Madrid often only bloom but not bear fruit when attacking, and the two sharp forwards Costa and Villa can't play at all.

"Hamburg, on the other hand, is the opposite. Pan Yi has shown a very high level in both the starting tactical deployment and on-the-spot command. This is the real genius young marshal!"

"The Hamburg team he brought out has left us an extremely deep impression on the overall technical and tactical level, tactical thinking, and game style."

"Hamburg deserve a win, they deserve to qualify for the Champions League final!"

Of course, some people began to express concerns about the upcoming finals.

"Bild" said that Hamburg's opponent in the final is Real Madrid, who has more experience in the European war.

They have more advantages in lineup and configuration. There are BBC superstars such as Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale. The overall tactics are also extremely skilled, and the counterattack is extremely sharp.

As for Hamburg, although their lineup configuration is quite good, there is still a certain gap compared with Real Madrid.

Coupled with the absence of midfielder De Bruyne, it may also have a certain impact on Hamburg's overall style of play.

Well, at this time, it is up to Pan Yi to see what countermeasures he has.

"Whether Pan Yi can reduce the impact of De Bruyne's absence on the team as much as possible, and whether he can limit the rapid advancement of the Real Madrid superstars, will become the key factor in this Champions League final!"

"In three weeks' time, will it be Real Madrid who have achieved their perfect dream of ten titles, or Hamburg with their second Champions League trophy in history?"

"On May 26, let us witness it with our own eyes at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal!"
