Today’s information

[Joseph Gabe is easily agitated by rough play and disrespectful behavior.]

—

After the Pokal Cup, they won the Bundesliga opening match against Mainz 3-0, signaling a good start in the Pokal Cup and the league.

And not long after the season started, the 2036-2037 UEFA Champions League group draw began.

“Is Hamburg Port 4?”

Virgil van Dyke, who was watching the group draw together, belatedly came in with a snack in his hand.

“right.”

“There are no teams in the world that look easy.”

Port 1 is Liverpool, Newcastle United FC, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Zenit.

Port 2 is Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Ajax, Benfica, Napoli, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Port 3 is Olympique Lyonne, RB Leipzig, Salzburg, Olympiacos, Club Genk, Inter Milan and Dinamo Zagreb.

Port 4 of Hamburg belongs to Moscow. Club Brugge, Hamburg, Galatasaray, Atalanta, Lille, Crvena Zvez.

All of them were teams with the skills to qualify for the Champions League, and it was clear that all the teams that came up from the big leagues in Europe were not easy opponents.

“Which team would you like to be in the same group with? If possible, it would be good if the group stage were organized with easy opponents.”

“On the other hand, I think it would be fun to play against a strong team from the group stage if possible.”

Song Jae-jin wanted to enter a place called the group of death if at all possible, because the teams classified as strong teams had no choice but to enter one or two teams as they were assigned by pot anyway.

“It doesn’t matter which team it is, port 1 or port 2. It’s just a hurdle we have to overcome in the end to win the Champions League.”

When all the teams up to port 3 were assigned and the opening of port 4 finally started, Jae-Jin Song calmed his nerves and fixed his gaze on the TV.

“This is the first team.”

He grabbed the whistling ball inside the ball and opened the lid, revealing a small piece of paper.

“This is Hamburg SV. It’s a team we haven’t seen in the Champions League in a long time.”

“And it’s a team that made a huge difference in the Bundesliga last season.”

“What group will Hamburg be in?”

The ball was taken out from the second group drawing and the face of the Hamburg board attending the drawing was captured on the screen.

“Group H.”

“Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Dinamo Zagreb and Hamburg.”

Paris Saint-Germain, the absolute powerhouses in the league, Real Madrid, who is bisecting La Liga, Dinamo Zagreb, a prestigious Croatian club, and Hamburg.

“It’s good.”

When the lottery result came out, Jaejin Song smiled as if satisfied.

“If you make a mistake, you could end up being eliminated from the group.”

But Virgil van Dyke’s expression was not so bright. This is because, with the exception of Dinamo Zagreb, the two teams are La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid and Ligue Eng powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

This was because if he made a mistake, Hamburg could be at risk of being eliminated from the group stage.

“If we get out of the group stage, it will be Paris Saint-Germain.”

Paris Saint-Germain had debts to repay, so I thought it was fortunate that we met in the group stage.

It was because I thought that there was nothing more interesting than that if Paris were eliminated in the group stage.

[Hamburg Group H assignment. Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Hamburg SV, Dinamo Zagreb. The dark future of Hamburg.][Hamburg, assigned to the group of death, will Hamburg be able to pass the group stage?]

And as soon as the news of Hamburg’s assignment was announced, the media started posting articles.

Although the assignment of other pots was not completed yet, there were no places as many stories as group H passing, and there were two teams classified as contenders for the championship.

—

“Hamburg is a very inexperienced team in the Champions League. When was the last time Hamburg reached the Champions League? At least not in my memory.”

Jules Puel, the new Paris Saint-Germain manager, said with a laugh.

“On the other hand, Paris is a team that always challenges for the big year. The Paris players are experienced and always hungry for victory. Asyido Hamburg’s dream of a Champions League Champions League has to be put aside from the group stage.”

Jules Puel, who took over as the new manager for the big year, did not look down on Hamburg, but he did not think that Hamburg would lose.

He was so full of confidence.

“But Hamburg’s attacking power from last season is really scary. Are there any countermeasures for this?”

“of course. I believe in our players. Although Francis Kloska’s attacking power is scary, it’s only a few years since he made his pro debut. And our players know very well how to deter them.”

Jules Puel answered in a confident voice.

“Hamburg’s offense is good, but they are too dependent on Francis Kloska. What that means is that Hamburg won’t do well if only Francis can effectively block it.”

Hamburg, analyzed by Jules Puel, thought that as long as the sum of Niccolò Robertio and Francis Kloska was well blocked, it could be stopped.

And there was a player in Paris Saint-Germain who had the skills to restrain them.

—

‘It’s definitely not an easy team.’

Song Jae-jin’s eyes as he watched the players’ movements were full of worries.

Paris Saint-Germain was the strongest team Hamburg had ever met, comparable to Bayern Munich.

‘The good news is that a new director has been appointed. You probably haven’t been able to properly color Paris Saint-Germain yet.’

[Juls Puel’s style tends to use tactics that emphasize individual players’ abilities. However, Rudy Domingo, who led Paris Saint-Germain in the past, was a manager who emphasized the harmony of the squad and pressure as a teamwork.]

Reading the report, Jae-Jin Song raised the list of Paris Saint-Germain squad.

“Joseph Gabe.”

French madman. He was literally a mad dog on the ground who was not afraid of red cards with a rough play style.

“Rolf!”

Jaejin Song called for Rolf Khan, who was resting.

“Yes, Boss!”

“There is something you need to do for this game against Paris.”

“Just speak.”

Song Jae-jin looked at the players who were looking at this side and slowly opened his mouth.

September 19 Champions League Matchday 1.

Parc des Princes in Paris, France.

[Finally, the first match of the Champions League has begun.][There were quite a few interesting matches from the start of the group stage.][In particular, don’t the two teams have an episode before the season starts?][PSG tried to take away major Hamburg players including Song Jae-jin.][Hamburg re-signed the contract as if it were a surprise.][Today’s match is clearly dominated by Paris.][Paris Saint-Germain is a team that has already won the Champions League and has potential to be considered for the championship every season.][But the biggest variable is that the opponent is Hamburg.][It’s strange. We often say that soccer balls are round, but because Hamburg is the team that best shows that soccer balls are round.]

Perhaps because something bad had happened between the two teams, the home stadium of Paris Saint-Germain was filled with cheers from fans cheering for Paris’ victory.

[Joseph Gabe! Roughly presses Niccolo Robertio!][It’s as harsh as Joseph Gabe’s nickname.]

After all, Niccolò Robertio was at the forefront of the Hamburg attack.

That’s why Joseph Gabe immobilized Niccolò with a foul move.

‘Obviously Paris will put the mad dog Joseph Gabe on the front and put pressure on Niccolo and other players who catch the ball from behind us.’

Rolf Khan remembered Song Jae-jin’s instructions and waited for the opposite situation.

[The ball is stolen! Paris Saint-Germain’s counterattack situation!]

When the ball directed to Niccolo Robertio changed and Joseph Gabe caught the ball, Rolf Khan rushed towards Joseph Gabe as if waiting.

The defensive line of the newly formed Lucas Klos, Petar Vidic and Matthis de Ligt was literally enough to frustrate the rest of the team.

The part that Song Jae-jin paid the most attention to after signing the players was communication and chemistry between the players.

After all, he couldn’t beat the team, even if he had great individual skills.

In that sense, Hamburg’s defense, showing an organic appearance, was effectively blocking Paris Saint-Germain’s wave offensive.

[It goes contrary to expectations.][Unlike last season, Hamburg is crouching down while lowering the line, and Paris Saint-Germain continues to attack to break through Hamburg’s defense.][Pressing Paris Saint-Germain through all-round pressure in Hamburg.]

“Big!”

Since he didn’t want to be easily offended by Rolf Kahn’s intentions, Joseph Gabe tried to depressurize or pass the ball when he took the ball, but Rolf Kahn was literally just aiming at himself regardless of that. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Joseph Gabe is staggering.][Rolf Kahn. I’m not the bull of the ground for nothing!]

This situation created a situation where Joseph Gabe’s pass was inevitably inaccurate and Hamburg’s attack was easy to follow.

‘I lost the flow. I thought you were going to be aggressive, but you crouched a lot. The tactics don’t work like this.’

Jules Puel frowned at the flow of the first half.

Hamburg, like they didn’t usually come prepared, lowered the line and solidified the defense, and they were making their own play.

Rather, it was Paris Saint-Germain, not Hamburg, who was distracted by the visible attacking opportunity and failed to show up.

Clearly, Paris Saint-Germain had a higher possession of the ball, but he did not seem to have an advantage at all.

Hamburg were slowly raising the line against Paris Saint-Germain.

Through pathwork, through collaboration, through teamwork.

‘If you keep going like this, you’ll lose the flow altogether.’

Jules Puel waved his hand and adjusted the positions of the players.

[Joseph Gave is stepping back.][Moved to the position of the defensive midfielder in front of the white gun.]

If Paris Saint-Germain lost Joseph Gabe, it would do more harm than good, so Jules Puel had no choice but to admit.

‘We need to change our strategy to contain Nicolo Robertio.’

[The strategy to block Nicolo Robertio did not work well.][Thanks to Nicolo Robertio’s bodyguard Rolf Kahn.][After 20 minutes of the first half, in the first strategy, PSG’s Jules Puel stepped down first.]
