280 Wingers who can't score
Liverpool legend Alan Hansen once ridiculed Ferguson's inability to win the championship with a group of children, but was ruthlessly slapped in the face. Ferguson led Manchester United's 92 class to win the Premier League championship, which shocked the world.
This actually has a strong background in the times. If fans today think that the Premier League is "destroying people" and is extremely unfriendly to young players with technical talents, then if you look back at the Premier League ten years ago and twenty years ago, it would be a hell for technical players.
Times are changing, and rules are constantly protecting technical players and limiting the rough behavior of the court.
German media would also be cautious about saying: It is almost impossible for Situ Yunbing to rely on a brand new and young lineup to win the championship.
They will not laugh at Hamburg because the positioning of Hamburg itself in the eyes of the outside world is to try to make the team completely younger and rebuild a team. If it is a wealthy family, it will not work.
The giants need record. The giants fans are used to the team's goal every year to hit the championship, and the use of a large number of young players will bring great hidden dangers to the record. Such risks are unbearable for the giants with extremely high performance requirements.
Every season, there are many adventurers in European teams who use young players to try to storm in their youth, but most of them have miserable endings left a mess.
Successful people, such as Dortmund now, and Leverkusen, are talked about, but they have not reached the height of the championship yet, but their courage is admirable.
Since Hamburg is not in the ranks of championship competition, it is understandable even if it uses a large number of young players. It is just that Situ Yunbing made a declaration of championship competition for members and fans. If it is spread, it will trigger comments from the outside world. People regard Situ Yunbing's words as a goal within the "35-year team building cycle" rather than caring whether they really want to win the championship in the new season.
Schalke 04 coach Magath also doesn't think Hamburg has the ability to compete for the championship, and it will be unrealistic for at least two years!
So he would not attack his opponents, as that would likely trigger Hamburg's stronger will to resist, but his Schalke 04 was honestly expressed his contempt for Hamburg in the field with aggressiveness!
Perhaps in their opinion, it is necessary to give Hamburg a warning in the opening game so that young coach Situ Yunbing also understands that it will not be as easy as he is in Ligue 1.
Hamburg was more cautious in the first 10 minutes of the game, and was constantly under the pressure of offensive from Schalke 04. Situ Yunbing carefully supervised the battle, but found that Schalke 04's offensive threat was really limited!
Magath's three-back formation seems to have strengthened defense and attack, but the team is exactly the opposite in actual operation.
If the traditional 442 or 433 formation is more aggressive, it can become 235 or 244!
The most intuitive thing is that the two full-backs assisted and killed in the frontcourt and rarely retreated to defend, as long as the defense line was safe.
Then this will create stronger pressure on the opponent.
However, Schalke 04's 352 always maintains the defensive frame of 3 defenders and 2 midfielders during operation. In addition, Rakitic basically does not step into Hamburg's penalty area, which leads to Schalke 04's most threatening players being Falfan, Hao Junmin, Raul and Edu.
Matuidi's defensive strategy today was decided by himself on the spot, but Situ Yunbing did not ask him to make adjustments because it was very effective!
Using a tight-knit tactic to Hao Junmin will not appear or lose someone, and it will also greatly limit the opponent's performance.
Schalke 04's right-wing threat value has been suppressed to freezing point!
In fact, only Edu, Raul and Falfan are left to create threats. Edu's range of activities is not as large as Raul, but Raul can only seek to respond to Rakitic. Falfan was suppressed by Westman and DeMel on the wing, and Hamburg's midfield defense almost strangled all the offensive threats of Schalke 04!
Hamburg's counterattack was not ideal because Hamburg's two midfielders were really strong. Jermaine Jones and Matip both cooperated with the wingers and had a strong confrontation. In terms of physical confrontation, they definitely crushed Hamburg's winger.
After 15 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing made gestures to the two wingers Reus and Elia on the sidelines, asking them to pull the edges at the extreme when counterattacking, and then let Griezmann take the initiative to pull the edges at the edges!
Then Situ Yunbing kept patience and observing the development of the situation.
The tactics of defensive counterattacks are often passive. If the opponent does not give him a chance, it will not create many threats. However, since he can actively retreat to fight a defensive counterattack, it means that in the situation, the opponent is most likely to be more subjective offensively!
Hamburg found that the offensive threat was somewhat insufficient, with only two wingers on the wing, so they had no full-backs to come forward to provide support, only the midfielder.
When Matip and Jones began to take turns to support the frontcourt attack, Hamburg's chance came!
In the 21st minute of the game, Matipu hit the left side of Hamburg's penalty area to receive the pass from Falfan. Then, under the interference of Lincon, the ball hit the right side of the penalty area. Rakitic followed up with a long shot that threatened a lot, but Navas bravely saved the ball!
"Wow! Rakitic's extremely high-quality long-range shot was saved by Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas. It seems that the main goalkeeper chosen by Situ Yunbing is still very powerful!"
The blocked football was controlled by Matuidi on the left side outside the penalty area. Hao Junmin stepped forward to press, and Matuidi passed the ball diagonally in the middle.
De Bruyne observed the situation in advance while supporting the running position. His talent was more reflected in his understanding of the overall situation, rather than how gorgeous and outstanding the skills were. Of course, it was undeniable that his skills were good.
But he seemed to be a natural battlefield commander.
Under Rakitic's pursuit, De Bruyne took the initiative to respond and sent a long pass in the diagonal pass.
He sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt!
After the midfield started quickly, Reus caught up with the football. He just advanced two steps and found that Jones assisted the defense and intercepted him on the wing. Reus stopped the kickback and made Jones lose the press. After turning into the inward track, he saw Hervedes grabbing. He passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area. Griezmann, who took the initiative to respond, did not dribble the ball and changed direction to the penalty area under Metzeld's defense. Instead, he dribbled back the ball and completed the turn and also opened the distance with Metzeld.
When Metzeld stepped forward to press, Griezmann passed the ball directly behind him and took the ball to the local area.
Metzeld stopped suddenly and turned around. What caught his eye was Elia's air-rushing cut in the middle of the penalty area!
Papadopoulos was at a disadvantage in his obvious speed while moving to the middle!
The Hamburg fans at People's Park Stadium were excited and looked forward to the birth of a goal!
Elia quickly penetrated into the penalty area, and Papadopolos made a maximum tackle but it was useless. Elia took the lead and then took a step to get rid of Papadopolos completely. Seeing that the single shot was done, he took this step to give Schalke 04 goalkeeper Neuer abandoned the goal and blocked his shooting angle to the maximum!
Neuer, who was tall and long, rushed out of the goal to block Elia's shooting angle, while Elia almost didn't look ahead and lowered her head and shot!
Neuer lowered his body and opened his arms to expand the defense area. Elia's shot was blocked by him with his body!
call!
The Hamburg fans sighed in disappointment.
Elia gritted her teeth and felt a little regretful.
"omg! Neuer defended Schalke 04's goal!
Hamburg suddenly made a wonderful counterattack!
The pass from the Belgian midfielder De Bruyne instigated a counterattack in the backcourt is really comfortable. The cooperation with Reus' starting running position is flawless. The team cooperation of the three Hamburg strikers is also eye-catching. The left winger advances, the center forwards, the right winger cuts inward, and the three forwards are very well-organized.
But unfortunately, Elia faces Neuer, the strongest goalkeeper in the Bundesliga!"
Situ Yunbing did not show any disappointment, but turned around and walked to the coach's seat, stroked the edge of the roof with one hand, lowered his head and said to Monitz: "We need to strengthen Elia's shooting training in the future. You have to teach him some shooting skills. I have seen his data in the Eredivisie. To be honest, it looks pretty good, but it is Eredivisie. It has scored less than 20 goals in more than 100 games. In the 2009 Dutch rookie, there are not many talents in the Netherlands recently."
Monitz showed a helpless expression on his face, and didn't know what to say to Situ Yunbing, so he could only ask: "Don't you think it's a pity?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "Why is it a pity? Elia missed a single shot, won't it be Griezmann and Reus? Sure enough, we must be patient with them. What I told you just now is just about the problems that arise. You have to know that he is the oldest of the strikers. He is already 23 years old and a winger who can't score goals at the age of 23 is really a bit worrying about his future. Moreover, it was also obvious just now that his step of drifting away the best shooting opportunity. He obviously is not confident in his shooting skills and hopes to be closer to the goal, but that is not the best choice.
As for the game, Schalke 04 has begun to panic. Their start is not ideal. Magath thought he drove the aircraft carrier to People's Park, but now there are signs of hitting an iceberg. They will not go around the iceberg, but try to knock over the iceberg!
We have many opportunities to sink aircraft carriers. After all, who makes Magath proud?"
Monitz lowered his head and smiled bitterly, while other coaches also wanted to laugh but did not dare to show it too much.
Situ Yunbing turned around and returned to the sidelines. He gestured to De Bruyne on the field, allowing him to hit the right side more when instigating the attack.
Schalke 04 escaped and soon planned an offensive to attack Hamburg's defense line.
Chapter completed!
