Chapter 205 The pre-match training is all about revenge

On January 27, Hamburg defeated Werder Bremen 3:2 at home.

In this game, Bremen coach Schaff obviously learned the lesson from the defeat in the first game.

He abandoned his 433 system and instead used 4231 to deal with Pan Yi's "diagonal transfer" play style.

Yunuzovic and Fritz sat in the defensive midfield and competed fiercely with Hamburg's midfield.

This tactic has also paid off.

When the game reached the 80th minute, the score on the field was still 2:2.

For Hamburg, Son Heung-min and Vardy scored one goal each, while for Bremen, Lukimya and Papastathopoulos scored one goal each.

But when the game entered the last ten minutes, the fierce fighting had already increased the fatigue of Bremen players.

At this time, Hamburg seized the opportunity of a corner kick and took advantage of Bremen's loose marking. Kjaer scored a header.

In the end, Hamburg won the goal battle and took all three points!

In the end, Shaf failed to fulfill his wish to revenge Pan Yi.

…

The victory over Werder Bremen was just the beginning.

In the next three rounds, Hamburg will face a devilish schedule.

They will face Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund and Monchengladbach consecutively.

After 19 rounds of the Bundesliga, these three teams are ranked fifth, fourth, and seventh in the standings respectively.

In other words, every battle is a tough battle!

Especially the first two games were a severe test for Hamburg.

In the first half of the season, Hamburg lost to Frankfurt and ushered in Pan Yi's first Bundesliga defeat.

As for Dortmund, Hamburg only won by one goal at home. This time it is the away game, and the pressure will definitely be greater.

But no matter what, we have to eat one bite at a time and fight one battle at a time.

At least these three games don't have special circumstances like double matches in a week, and Pan Yi doesn't need to make any special arrangements, just do it!

The first is the first home game against Frankfurt.

The main reason for the last defeat was that Wu Lei and Casemiro were injured during the international match and could not play, which affected the tactical deployment.

Now that Hamburg is fully staffed and has added two strong reinforcements, Paulinho and Robertson, who else are you afraid of?

So Pan Yi gave a speech before the game:

"Since we lost to Frankfurt last time, I know that your desire for revenge has grown stronger. You must still remember that day. The anger and loss are unforgettable."

"Frankfurt is a very strong team, and the process of this game will definitely be difficult. But we have to believe in ourselves and strive to give the best of ourselves in this game."

"Because we are stronger! They are ranked fifth, but we are still ahead of them, we are second!"

"Facing a team that has beaten us before, I hope everyone will instinctively evoke that emotion of wanting to prove themselves in front of the enemy during the game, and that unforgettable anger at that time. I think for me

, and it’s the same for our fans, we have to go all out!”

Well, it turned out that it was very useful to click on the "revenge" option in the pre-game preparation meeting. After hearing this, the boys rushed out of the locker room screaming!

…

When the game started, when Frankfurt forward Rakic ​​kicked the ball to his teammate Meyer, the opposing Hamburg players launched a fierce attack on Frankfurt's position at the same time, approaching the opponent's defense line.

This made Frankfurt a little confused and unable to adapt.

The starting lineup they arranged today is almost exactly the same as the last time they faced Hamburg. They just replaced the original starting center Okern with the new winter window signing, center Serdan Rakic ​​from Croatia.

Winning teams don't need changes, and Frankfurt's head coach Amin Fei firmly believes in this truth.

He just wanted to use basically the same lineup to defeat Hamburg again, so that the sullenness in his heart could be relieved a little more.

Yes, for Amin Fei, kicking the hamburger is also a kind of revenge.

He was actually the head coach of Hamburg two seasons ago, but after being defeated by Bayern with a score of 6:0 in March 2011, he was ordered to sack.

This meritorious coach who once led Stuttgart to win the Bundesliga championship in the 2006-2007 season was certainly not happy inside.

He felt that Hamburg should give him more time.

Later, Eintracht Frankfurt, which was in the second division, offered him an olive branch, so Aminfei went to lead the team. After a year, he returned to the Bundesliga. Then he performed well this season and was completely out of touch with the relegation zone.

After defeating Hamburg in the third round, Aminfei was certainly happy. He felt that Hamburg's senior management had realized that it was wrong to fire him.

But once you taste the taste of revenge and a slap in the face, you naturally want to taste it again.

Therefore, he is determined to defeat Hamburg in this away game and have a home and away double play, so that he can truly prove his worth!

It's just that the life-and-death oppressive situation that Hamburg has displayed since the beginning of today's game feels a bit difficult to deal with, right?

The pace of the game was suddenly full, which is not a good thing for Frankfurt, which is not good at physical strength and fighting.

However, Aminfei is a coach who has won the Bundesliga championship after all, so he naturally studied recent Hamburg games before the game.

He knows that sometimes Pan Yi will attack at the beginning to make an early start. If he can score a goal, he will completely control the rhythm of the game in his own hands.

By that time, Frankfurt will be very passive.

And Amin Fei was already prepared.

He asked the two defensive midfielders Rod and Schwegler to recover as much as possible, and the attacking midfielder Meyer also retreated to the midfield to help defend.

In this case, although Frankfurt's players received a violent impact after the opening and were very passive on the scene, they could still retreat steadily and stabilize their position.

"Come on, just press forward, wait until we can guard against your three attacks, and see how I can beat your counterattack!" A Mingfei thought to himself.

Defensive counterattack is the basis for Frankfurt to stay in the Bundesliga this season.

As strong as Dortmund, Frankfurt was not defeated despite their fierce attack, and eventually tied with their opponents.

And some teams that like to play strong attacks but are weaker, such as Werder Bremen and Mainz, are often defeated by Frankfurt's counterattacks and lose by two or three goals.

Therefore, Amin Fei is very confident that Frankfurt can definitely use this same routine to defeat Hamburg again.

This would also allow him to defeat Pan Yi again.

The most well-known period of Amin Fei is when he led Stuttgart to win the championship.

But this season he has led newly promoted teams like Eintracht Frankfurt to remain in the top six of the Bundesliga, which has made him famous again.

If it weren't for the fact that Hamburg, led by Pan Yi, a native of the Dragon Kingdom, had a better record, the number one dark horse this season would definitely be Frankfurt.

Therefore, if Hamburg can be defeated again in tonight's game, then Amin Fei can not only prove that the original decision of Hamburg's top management was wrong, but also prove that he is stronger than Pan Yi!

Wouldn't it be more exciting if the ex beats the current one in the face?

However, as the game progressed minute by minute, Aminfei slowly discovered that Hamburg's offense might not be described as "three axes."

They are four-axe, five-axe, six, seven...

The offensive is one wave after another, without stopping!

A Mingfei gradually began to stop laughing, and the look on his face became more and more solemn.

…

After adapting to two official games, Pan Yi fielded what he considered to be Hamburg's strongest main lineup at the moment, and it was also the complete lineup of his ideals:

Center forward Vardy.

Attacking midfielder De Bruyne, left winger Son Heung-min, right winger Wu Lei.

Double defensive midfielder Paulinho + Casemiro.

Left back Robertson, center back Rudiger + Kjaer, right back Carvajal.

Goalkeeper Navas.

Therefore, Pan Yi also began to use his advanced pressing tactics in this game.

This set of tactics was derived from "Crazy" Bielsa's bizarre 3313 formation, and was improved and integrated into this 4231 set.

First of all, 4 people in the frontcourt need to form a diamond-shaped pressing team. When attacking, the 4 people are a center, 2 wingers and a midfielder.

Falling defensively.

Then the two full-backs hug each other, step forward to support the wingers when attacking, suppress the opponent's wing when organizing, and move to the position of full-back or full-back when defending.

This requires two people to run up and down, and one person to hold up a side road.

This is also the biggest reason why Pan Yi introduced Robertson!

Due to his presence, Hamburg's running ability and offensive ability on the left have been greatly enhanced. Now Pan Yi no longer has to use the overload method on the right like he did in the first half of the season.

Moreover, the right-side attack mode has been used. Once Carvajal is restricted, Hamburg's overall advancement will be affected.

Now that Robertson is here, this problem has been solved, and Pan Yi can free up his hands and use a new pressing and offensive system.

Coordinating these two full-backs are one or two "gates" in the middle, namely Paulinho and Casemiro.
