Chapter 176 The problem of two games in three days

After this round of games, Hamburg, which won a big away victory, naturally received praise from the media and fans.

First of all, in terms of offensive firepower, Hamburg scored 14 goals in 5 games, only 2 goals less than Bayern Munich who scored 16 goals, ranking second in the entire Bundesliga.

Secondly, in terms of the way to score goals, Hamburg also has various postures, crosses from the wing, through balls from the center, long passes from the backcourt, free kicks, corner kicks...

As for the firepower of the attack, the hamburger is even more impressive.

The 14 goals they scored were scored by 10 different players!

From the perspective of the main lineup, except for goalkeeper Navas and left back Ogo, the other 9 players have scored goals, plus substitute forward Berry.

This shows how much Hamburg under the direction of Pan Yi focuses on overall operations, rather than just relying on one or two stars like some small teams.

Not only in terms of goals, but also in terms of assists.

De Bruyne, Wu Lei, Son Heung-min, Vardy, including Lin Zhijian, Kjaer...

Especially the four attackers in the frontcourt, they assist each other and achieve each other's achievements, showing an extremely selfless team spirit.

This is especially difficult for a main lineup that is basically composed of young players.

You must know that young people like to express themselves the most, and it is also the period when they are most likely to be "alone".

But under Pan Yi's training, these young people put the interests of the team first. If their teammates are in a better position, they will pass the ball out without hesitation instead of thinking about scoring goals themselves.

In general, this season's Hamburg, in terms of personnel matching, lineup integration, tactical configuration, and the mental outlook of all players, has been completely transformed compared to last season!

This is why they can not stay in the relegation zone as the media predicted before the season, but be ranked in the top three.

…

But Pan Yi now has his own troubles.

After playing against Borussia Monchengladbach, Pan Yi gave the players a day off to rest, but after returning to the team, their faces still showed visible fatigue.

Hannover 96 will play in 2 days, but Pan Yi has been hesitating about what kind of lineup to field to deal with it.

Obviously, the disadvantages of using one lineup to conquer the world are now slowly being revealed.

Although these young people are very durable, they can't bear to keep playing, and this is the second game in three days.

Among the rotation players, to be honest, there are only a few positions that will not affect the team's strength too much if they are replaced.

One is right winger Lin Zhijian. The gap between him and Wu Lei will not be too big.

The other is the central defender. Captain Westermann can barely replace one of Rudiger or Kjaer.

Another one is the left back Ogo. There are many people who can replace him, such as Janssen, Westerman, or even Mancien and Dickmeier.

But this position is special, not because these people are very strong so they can all be replaced, but compared to other positions, the left back is actually a relatively weak link in the lineup.

In the current full-back offensive system of Hamburg, Carvajal on the right is basically initiated, while Ogo on the left is more defensive and rarely participates in the offense.

This is because he is still a little behind Carvajal in terms of ability, whether it is explosive power, absolute speed, physical strength, technology, positioning, etc.

In the second round against Bremen, Ogo exposed some weaknesses and was seized by his opponent to score a goal.

In order to avoid similar incidents from happening, in the next few games, Pan Yi more resolutely shifted the focus of the attack to the right side, allowing Carvajal to lead the attack in the backcourt.

Therefore, although Pan Yi and Hamburg are very proud of themselves now, if they encounter any unexpected situation, it will be difficult to play good cards.

When we lost to Frankfurt, wasn't it because Casemiro and Wu Lei were absent?

But now, Pan Yi encountered difficulties.

The players are all a little tired.

Whether and how to rotate has become a question that has been bothering Pan Yi for the past two days.

But in the end, Pan Yi decided to let everyone grit their teeth and keep playing!

After all, the opponent is Hannover 96, a team that is currently chasing closely behind Hamburg.

And Hamburg is playing at home this time.

If we can defeat Hannover 96 at the People's Park Stadium, how much joy it will bring to the fans!

But if there is a rotation in this game, it may be difficult to win.

You can imagine how much impact Hamburg will have on both offense and defense if the 18-year-old Calhanoglu replaces De Bruyne, or if Dickmeier replaces Carvajal.

So, it’s decided!

…

On September 29, in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg faced Hannover 96 at home.

At the beginning of the game, Hamburg played quite well.

As always, they controlled the game with strong frontcourt pressure, and in the 36th minute, forward Vardy received a pass from De Bruyne and scored a volley, giving the home team a one-goal lead into the halftime break.

.

But in the second half of the second half, Hamburg players really showed signs of fatigue, and their pressing and defensive quality also declined.

Hannover 96 took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and caused many threatening shots.

Fortunately, Hamburg's goalkeeper Navas played bravely, connecting with high and low blocks to keep the goal intact.

But it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

In the injury time period of the game, Hannover 96's right back Hiroki Sakai, who came on as a substitute, broke through Ogo's defense in a wide attack and then made a pass.

When Rudiger made a clearance, he accidentally scored an own goal and scored the ball into his own goal!

1:1, this is the final score of the game.

For such an ending, Pan Yi could only accept his fate as he looked at the Hannover 96 players celebrating wildly.

Killing and being beaten (or tied) are the most charming moments in the football world, and they are also an important part of making football the number one sport in the world.

At the last minute, the team was tied due to an own goal. What else could Pan Yi say other than admitting that he was unlucky?

But he does see a problem with burgers.

Because the fatigue that occurs during the game is also due to a common problem among young players.

That is, after the start of a new season, they tend to be more active, jump high, run fast, and are infinitely youthful.

But the league is a marathon event, not a sprint.

The schedule of one to two games a week, including two games in three days, is also accompanied by endless days of staying in hotels and riding buses.

Young people often don't know how to allocate physical strength reasonably. While perfectly executing Pan Yi's pressing tactics, their physical strength is quickly lost.

The same goes for energy. They can concentrate on one or a few games, but if they play too many games, they will start to lack concentration on the court and even become distracted.

When multiple players begin to tire physically and mentally, winning becomes difficult.

Therefore, Pan Yi must make changes.
