They sweep in front of the defense and help the backcourt get the ball out when attacking.

The two center backs concentrate on dealing with the opponent's single center. This way they have a numerical advantage and can be easily defended.

If the opponent has two forwards, then one of the two defensive midfielders, usually Casemiro, who has stronger defensive ability, will be withdrawn a little in front of the two central defenders to guard their two forwards.

Under such a tactical system that is balanced on both sides and up and down, Hamburg's current frontcourt pressing system is also more structured.

When the opponent's central defender holds the ball, his own center forward cuts off the connection between the two central defenders while attacking, while the two wingers cut off the opponent's passing route to the full-backs.

In principle, this is to close the ball carrier while cutting off the opponent's short passing line.

In this era when goalkeepers generally have no ability to play the ball, the destructive power of this kind of four-man frontcourt pressure is huge. The opponent can hardly organize an attack from the ground and has to use big kicks.

At this time, an all-around defensive midfielder like Paulinho comes into play. He can assist the central defender to control the high ball easily.

In the process of oppression, Pan Yi's "rotation" requirements for oppressors were also more reasonable.

The 6-7 people in the frontcourt will alternately rotate to the first line to press the opponent, and those who retreat to the second line can get a temporary "rest", so that from the team level, the crazy pressure can continue for 90 minutes.

After all, no matter how great Pintus's training level is, humans always have an upper limit to their physical abilities.

No one can run at full speed for more than ten minutes without getting tired, let alone 90 minutes.

And if at this time the opponent drops back a midfielder to assist the ball in the backcourt - just like Frankfurt now asks Meier to recover.

Then Hamburg will immediately add another midfielder to participate in the pressure. This person will usually be the more versatile Paulinho.

This is actually what Pan Yi is happy to see.

The more opponents retreat, the less defensive pressure you will have. If you dare to retreat, I, Pan Yi, dare to go all-in!

Therefore, on the current court, Hamburg only has two central defenders left in the backcourt to deal with the opponent's forwards and the opponent's long passes, and compete for the opponent's big kicks. Everyone else is participating in the pressure in the frontcourt.

This left Frankfurt completely suppressed in their own half, making it difficult to counterattack as they were good at.

And even if by chance an opponent successfully plays the ball in the backcourt, Hamburg players will use various means, such as counterattacks, tactical fouls, etc. to delay the opponent's advancement, and all players will take the opportunity to quickly retreat to defend their position.

This style of play is actually reflected in some teams, such as Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, but Hamburg under Pan Yi is more aggressive in execution.

They will use more forward defense and have a stronger desire to grab the ball!

This is almost unique in today's world football. This kind of inhuman pressure and super aggressiveness leave Frankfurt players at a loss.

After withstanding Hamburg's attacks, they finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Coupled with the cheering buff from more than 50,000 fans in People's Park, Hamburg became more and more courageous as it fought!

During a frontcourt press, Paulinho successfully stole the ball from Mel and quickly passed it to Vardy in front.

Vardy turned his back to the direction of the attack and leaned against Frankfurt's centre-back. After stopping the ball with his back, he took a step back and suddenly passed the ball to the right side of the top area.

There was already someone behind De Bruyne watching closely, but the Belgian did not stop the ball, but gave it a gentle push with the arch of his foot.

This is equivalent to setting up a cannon for the person behind you.

And the man who ran up to fire the cannon was none other than Paulinho!

This is also one of his main characteristics.

He can be defending and stealing the ball one second, and the next second he can come in from the back to help the offense.

This time, he had already raised his thigh and fired an angry kick at the cross pass!

The ball was about thirty meters away from the goal, but Paulinho hit it very hard and the ball went straight to the dead center of the goal!

Frankfurt's young goalkeeper Trapp was a little stunned. He didn't even have time to save when he saw the ball hit the net.

1:0!

Hamburg takes the lead at home!

Paulinho was so excited that he ran throughout the game, cheering to celebrate the goal.

This is his first official game goal since joining Hamburg, and it is also his first goal in the top five leagues!

Pan Yi also jumped up excitedly on the sidelines and continuously pumped his fists in celebration, but soon began to instruct the players to stabilize their mentality, slightly reduce the intensity of the pressure, and pull back a bit.

The game has now gone on for 30 minutes, and the Hamburg players have been fighting for 30 minutes.

When there was no goal, it was true that Pan Yi asked everyone to rush and attack hard, but now that the deadlock has been broken, there is no need to maintain such intensity.

After all, no matter from the perspective of physical consumption or the perspective of avoiding player injuries, the team must be relaxed and relaxed in order to achieve sustainable development in the long season.

As for Hamburg, Frankfurt did not dare to attack immediately.

After all, A Mingfei was also a veteran, and he always felt that there must be some conspiracy behind Pan Yi's actions.

So he told the players to play steadily and wait patiently for opportunities.

In this way, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding.

You seek stability, and so do I. Frankfurt is not in a hurry, and Hamburg is certainly not in a hurry.

So the last 15 minutes of the first half were spent calmly.

But in the second half, Amin Fei discovered that something was wrong!

Why is the hamburger still so slow? It seems that it is ready to defend 1:0 and take three points home?

Now he was anxious.

After all, the lagging side is Frankfurt!

So Aminfei began to direct the players to counterattack.

Of course, he still had to guard against Hamburg's counterattack.

He knows that De Bruyne, who currently ranks first in the Bundesliga assists list, is Hamburg's most important offensive starting point and the core of Hamburg's offense.

Even Paulinho's goal just now was assisted by De Bruyne!

Therefore, as long as De Bruyne can be tightly strangled, the power of Hamburg's counterattack may be reduced a lot.

So Aminfei arranged for Rhodes to mark De Bruyne throughout the game.

As for the attacking midfielder, his confrontation ability and running ability will definitely be relatively weak. As long as someone is assigned to defend him, he will definitely not be able to perform well.

But Amin Fee obviously underestimated De Bruyne.

First of all, De Bruyne is not a traditional classical attacking midfielder. He has the running ability to execute pressing tactics, and has an excellent overall view to be the core of the team.

Secondly, in Pan Yi's 4231 system, the offense does not completely rely on De Bruyne alone.

Because Pan Yi knows that when the team's sources of inspiration are all concentrated on one person, the inspiration can easily be cut off.

In the 2002 World Cup, Veron served as the core of the offense, and his sleepwalking performance was an important reason for Argentina's weak offense.

Therefore, Pan Yi asked everyone on the team to get active and take on the offensive task to a greater or lesser extent.

Single core is unreliable, dual core is unreliable, what is needed? Distributed cloud computing!!!

There is no absolute core but everyone can play a core role. This is also an important concept in Bielsa's football philosophy.

Of course, Pan Yi's tactical thinking is different from Bielsa's.

Specific to the current Hamburg, the combat policy can be summarized as follows: if there is an offensive opportunity, try to find De Bruyne. If he is seen dead, all members will attack!

Therefore, when Frankfurt strictly implemented the tactical instructions to target De Bruyne, they discovered that Hamburg began to be full of attack points.

At this time, the Hamburg team seemed to have no clear organizer, but everyone was an organizer;

Everyone has to think, but they don’t rely on anyone’s thinking;

When everyone can become a source of offensive inspiration, opponents cannot limit Hamburg's performance!

In the 70th minute, Hamburg showed a classic teamwork.

They first conducted several seemingly meaningless passes in their own backcourt. When Frankfurt's players' attention was attracted, Carvajal on the right had quietly ambushed to the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

At this time, Rudiger made a long overhead pass and accurately found Carvajal.

After Carvajal stopped the ball, Frankfurt's two defensive players were already in position.

But Carvajal did not force a breakthrough, but continued to pass the ball to the center and passed it to Casemiro, who had already ran over to receive the ball.

Casemiro saw that De Bruyne was surrounded by opposing players, so he continued to pass the ball to Paulinho.

Paulinho made a long pass forward at an angle of 45 degrees!

At this time, left back Robertson had also intervened at high speed.

With just a few passes, Hamburg's offensive focus has instantly shifted from the right to the left.

The flying speed of the ball is always faster than the running speed of people. Frankfurt's defense has no way to keep up with Hamburg's pace at once.

As a result, Robertson suddenly faced a plain.

He took the ball for a few steps and then made a decisive pass. Vardy crossed in the middle and deliberately missed it. There was no one around the right winger Wu Lei to watch.

The Dragon Kingdom striker did not waste this opportunity. He scored with a low shot into Frankfurt's goal.

2:0!

Hamburg leads by two goals!
