How to compete with Barcelona for possession of the ball

After the game, the Hamburg fans sang and danced as if they were celebrating a festival or winning some major competition, and no one wanted to leave the stands.

The St. Pauli fans left early.

Of course their mood is not beautiful.

Not only did the team lose to their rival in the same city, but they also lost by the largest score in history. This really made them unable to hold their head high in the city for a long time to come.

The media reporters were extremely excited and couldn't wait to start conducting interviews.

This game is so selling!

St. Pauli head coach Varabek screamed before the game and was slapped in the face, eight times in a row, causing swelling!

Hamburg head coach Pan Yi calmly accepted the call and launched a 163-attack formation, creating the largest points difference in Derby!

If this kind of report is written, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Not to mention the local fans in Hamburg, even fans of teams such as Bayern and Dortmund will pay attention out of curiosity.

Reporters immediately flocked to the press conference room.

There were a lot of reporters and they were very enthusiastic. Pan Yi even felt that this was even more exaggerated than when they played Bayern in the Super Cup.

And what about St. Pauli head coach Valabek?

He lost eight goals and his face was swollen. How could he have the nerve to participate?

He ran away immediately after the game, and the assistant coach who attended in his place also said a few words and ran away.

So the press conference after the game was completely Pan Yi's stage.

Pan Yi first praised the players as usual:

"Our players all played well, and they did not relax their demands on themselves because their opponents were too weak."

Of course, while boasting, he didn't forget to hurt his opponent.

He was too lazy to talk before the game, but with the results after the game already in front of him, Wallabek's remarks had already become a laughing stock, and Pan Yi could take advantage of it.

Even if he was not familiar with Wallabek, he still wanted to add insult to injury.

It’s not that he really wants to vent his anger or anything, the main reason is that just as Varabek’s stepping on Hamburg can increase his support among St. Pauli fans, Pan Yi’s stepping on St. Pauli is also popular among Hamburg fans.

Fans are the cornerstone of a club. When he leads the team to win, isn't it just to make the fans happy?

So since hurting the rivals in the same city can make the fans happier, why not?

"Our players will also thank St. Pauli because many people scored goals. Even Vardy, who came off the bench, scored a hat-trick. He should always remember such a gift."

"I am also very grateful to St. Pauli. This is the biggest victory I have achieved since I took office, no, since I started professional football. I will remember this day."

"Varabek? His team conceded so many goals in one game. Obviously he is a bit unlucky. But he may be lucky at the same time, because in a few years, ten years, or even decades

, he may also be remembered by fans because of this game..."

The reporters all nodded, and they couldn't help but sympathize with Wallabek in their hearts.

After all, this is a game that created a historical record.

Of course, Valabek is fortunate that even 0:8 is not a losing record in German history. Even the Bundesliga record is higher than this.

In the last round of the 1977-1978 season, Monchengladbach slaughtered Dortmund 12:0. Heynckes, Bayern's future meritorious coach, completed a hat trick in the first half.

Therefore, St. Pauli's 0:8 is still far away. Even if such a massacre occurs again in German football in the future, Wallabek's St. Pauli will not be qualified to be mentioned.

However, if we take stock of the European derby where the score is the most disparate, then this game will definitely be selected.

After all, a game that can be called a "derby" is usually relatively close in terms of strength, and it is unlikely that such a big score will be scored.

A game like AC Milan's 6:0 Inter Milan in the 30th round of Serie A in 2001 was actually unexpected.

Inter Milan's disastrous defeat, in which they conceded 6 goals in a row without warning, can be regarded as a vivid display of the ever-changing and unpredictable charm of the football field.

And when it comes to the Hamburg Derby specifically, there is no way to escape today’s game.

After all, this is the biggest defeat in a hundred years!

In the following decades, whenever people mention the Hamburg Derby, they may think of this game and St. Pauli coach Valabek who was at a loss in this game.

The reporters all sincerely sighed: "Warrabek is really so pitiful!"

Then after returning home, in order to make the reports of his own media stand out among many peers, he chose a very attractive name——

"Hamburg Derby: Boasting Wallabek was too embarrassed to attend the press conference"

"A huge humiliating moment! St. Pauli conceded 8 goals in a row, destined to nail Varabek to the pillar of shame in history"

"Pan Yi declared that the owner of Hamburg City is the Hamburg team! Wallabek can only survive in the sewers with his St. Pauli"

…

The seventh round of the Bundesliga started with Dortmund's 5-0 victory over Freiburg.

Klopp's team went on a killing spree at the Westfalenstadion, with Reus scoring a hat-trick and Lewandowski also scoring twice.

This can also be regarded as a breath of anger for their loss in the Champions League last week.

At that time, Klopp tried his best to defeat Hamburg in the league, but he only ended up with a draw.

Then Dortmund tasted the consequences of no rotation. They were exhausted and were defeated 2:1 by Napoli in the Champions League.

But this five-goal victory still allowed them to temporarily top the Bundesliga standings with a goal difference advantage.

In the other two key games, Bayern only defeated Wolfsburg 1:0 at the Allianz Arena, while Leverkusen defeated Hannover 96 2:0.

Hamburg's game was the last to start.

If they fail to win this game against Frankfurt, then Hamburg will suddenly fall from the top to fourth place.

But even under such pressure, Pan Yi still sent out a starting lineup with mainly rotating players in accordance with the established strategy, and achieved good results.

Eintracht Frankfurt, playing at home, took the lead. Czech forward and FM's famous monster Kadlec scored a goal to help the home team take the lead.

But just three minutes later, Hamburg equalized the score.

Japan captain Makoto Hasebe used a long shot to penetrate the gate guarded by Trapp.

Before the end of the first half, Lin Zhijian received an assist from left back Jansen and scored the second goal.

After a change of sides in the second half, Calhanoglu's corner kick assisted and Yonatan Tower scored a header, sealing the victory for Hamburg.

In the end, Hamburg relied on the outstanding performance of the rotation lineup to reverse Frankfurt 3:1 away from home and take all three points.

This also allows Hamburg to continue to be closely linked with the traditional top three of the Bundesliga and still stand in the championship group.

However, Pan Yi's eyes soon shifted from the Bundesliga to the Champions League.

They will soon face the challenge of Barcelona at home. This is the real test!

…

If Hamburg is already in very good shape among the five major leagues this season, Barcelona will be the first to express dissatisfaction.

In the seven rounds of La Liga that have ended, Barcelona has started with a terrifying seven-game winning streak!

There are also big scores such as 7:0 Levante, 4:0 Rayo Vallecano, and 4:1 Real Sociedad.

Coupled with the excellent result of a 4-0 victory over Ajax in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona fans are convinced that under the leadership of current Argentina coach Martino, Barcelona will reproduce the glory of the Cosmos era this season!

No one can stop Barcelona's progress, including Pan Yi's Hamburg of course!

This view is obviously also mainstream.

After all, if you put the two names of Hamburg and Barcelona together, regardless of their results this season, Hamburg will naturally be lowered.

But Pan Yi doesn't pay much attention to such comparisons.

He has seen this kind of thing too many times!

Whether they are playing Bayern, Milan, or now Barcelona, ​​don't the media and fans always dislike them?

It's not because the team's historical factors play a role in stereotypes.

But as long as Hamburg can win and continue to win, one day everyone will reverse this impression and think that Hamburg has truly become a strong team that can make all teams fearful!

Of course, it is indeed not easy to win against Barcelona.

Haberbumé is still at his peak. This season he has also added super talented new stars like Neymar. The overall strength even feels improved compared to the Barcelona team that won the La Liga championship with 100% last season.

So Pan Yi started studying this Barcelona team a long time ago.

Pan Yi had never had time to systematically discuss countermeasures with the coaching staff because he was busy playing in the German Cup and Bundesliga. Now he is finally free.

"... Let's talk about the opponent's head coach Batino. In the current Barcelona, ​​​​he pursues a relatively high-intensity pressing strategy."

"As for the passing method, it also adheres to Barcelona's consistent style of intensive short passing, including the preference for short passing in the defensive area."

"So, do we have any good methods to deal with their habits?"

As Pan Yi was talking, he suddenly asked questions.

This is also the method he often uses in meetings now, so that all members of the coaching staff can use their brains and participate together.
