Chapter 276 It’s over before it even begins

In addition to the team's undefeated record and winning the championship with the highest score in history, another thing that can prove Hamburg's outstanding performance this season is:

They also topped the rankings in various statistics and selections during the season!

There is no doubt that the best head coach this season is Pan Yi, who was elected without any suspense.

The top scorer is Hamburg center Vardy.

Although Pan Yi often uses rotation lineups this season, Vardy, who only played 27 times, still scored 23 goals and won the Bundesliga Golden Boot!

Ranked second is Dortmund's Lewandowski, who scored 20 goals.

The third place is Bayern Munich's Mandzukic, whose goal account is 18 goals.

In fact, the data gap between the next few players is not very big.

Fourth is Nuremberg's Drmic, with 17 goals.

In fifth place are Hoffenheim's Firmino, Hertha Berlin's Adrian Ramos, and Dortmund's Reus, all of whom scored 16 goals.

Among the Hamburg team who have scored more goals, apart from Vardy, they are Salah, Son Heung-min, Mitrovic and Wu Lei.

It is worth mentioning Wu Lei.

He still scored 10 goals in his second Bundesliga season, which also allowed him to score 20 goals, breaking the scoring record for Dragon Kingdom players in the five major leagues held by his senior Yang Chen!

Yang Chen spent three seasons in the Bundesliga and scored 16 goals.

It only took Wu Lei two seasons to exceed this number, and he played most of the season as a rotation player, but he still seized the opportunity and created history for Dragon Kingdom players!

At the same time, Wu Lei is also following Hamburg in the Champions League. With every step forward and every goal scored, he is constantly writing the history of Dragon Country football!

In this regard, the Dragon Kingdom media and fans certainly know that the greatest contribution lies with Pan Yi.

Without Pan Yi's discerning eye and careful training, Wu Lei would probably still be hanging out with those Dragon Country players in China who are willing to be mediocre. How could he be as high as he is today?

Wu Lei's success in the Bundesliga is also stimulating some younger players to go overseas.

For example, the 19-year-old forward Weihao went to Boavista in the Portuguese Super League under the operation of a professional agency.

There are also some potential new stars who have also gone to second-level leagues in Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries to train.

Longguo Media believes that under the leadership of Pan Yi and Wu Lei, Longguo football is on the right path.

They even began to look forward to the 2018 World Cup in Russia...

Well, the Dragon Country team is indeed the first team in the world to prepare for the 2018 World Cup!

anyway.

In addition to Vardy becoming the top scorer in the Bundesliga, the assists leader was also won by a Hamburg player.

And for the second time in a row, De Bruyne won the title!

This time his data was even more exaggerated, reaching 18 assists!

You know, Royce, who ranks second in the assists list, only has 11 assists.

In third place, Ribery only had 8 times.

This also shows how outstanding Hamburg's offense is this season.

It’s simply a gaping lead!

With this terrifying data, De Bruyne also won the title of the best player in the Bundesliga voted by more than a thousand representatives of the Professional Players Association.

He received 35.7% of the vote!

Then his teammate Vardy received 28.6% of the votes, followed by Reus with 20.3%.

Among the selected best lineups, 11 players are all from the championship, second and third place teams this season, of which Hamburg contributed 7 players!

Bayern and Dortmund each have two players selected.

The best lineup formation is a 442.

Forwards: Lewandowski, Vardy.

Midfielder: Reus, Kante, Casemiro, De Bruyne.

Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Rudiger, Lahm.

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

For Pan Yi, this best lineup is somewhat like "watching football in excel".

In fact, in terms of forward role, Salah or Son Heung-min's performance is no worse than Lewandowski.

But because they did have fewer absolute goals than Lewandowski, this put them at a disadvantage in this selection.

Of course, Lewandowski's performance this season is also quite outstanding. It is said that Bayern has negotiated a contract with him, and Lewandowski will wear Bayern's jersey starting next season!

Of course, Pan Yi doesn't care about this very much.

Sometimes this kind of selection also depends on some human factors. For example, Lahm, the double captain of Germany and Bayern, squeezed out Carvajal, which somewhat means cheering for the German team that is about to compete in the World Cup.

Hamburg can't take all the best 11 players. This is too much.

7 is 7. It’s a blessing to suffer a loss.

…

After the last round of the Bundesliga, Pan Yi gave the players two days of vacation after allowing the team to conduct restorative training.

The German Cup final is on May 18, which is more than a week away from the last round of the Bundesliga, so Pan Yi and Hamburg have enough time to adjust slowly.

But their opponent in the German Cup, Klopp, did not dare to neglect.

He needs to figure out a way to beat the burgers right now!

This season, Dortmund once again ranked third in the Bundesliga, and also lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The overall results were even worse than last season.

Therefore, the German Cup final is Klopp's last chance.

He doesn't want to have another fruitless season!

But obviously, it is not easy to beat Pan Yi's burger.

Not to mention that Hamburg's ranking has always been higher than Dortmund's in the past two seasons. Even in the four head-to-head confrontations between the two teams, Hamburg has had an absolute advantage.

Three wins and one draw are the results of Hamburg's victory over Dortmund, and it also includes big score wins like 4:1 and 3:0.

Klopp knows that after Pan Yi coached Hamburg for two seasons, he has created a very mature tactical system for this team.

Moreover, the technical abilities of this group of players have also been greatly improved, including physical strength and physical fitness, which have reached a very high level.

In addition, Hamburg's entire coaching team works together to provide the best help to the team.

Various factors come together to form Hamburg's current strength.

"It can be said that with his performance in these two seasons, Pan Yi has truly become one of the world's top coaches."

This is Klopp’s evaluation of Pan Yi.

When Pan Yi first entered the Bundesliga, Klopp never thought highly of this young man from the Dragon Kingdom.

But now, he was finally convinced by Pan Yi.

So he would say Pan Yi is a "world-class coach".

So, what about himself?

Is Jurgen Klopp now a world-class coach?

He didn't even dare to confirm it himself.

Two years ago, he led the Dortmund youth team to knock Bayern Munich off the throne of the Bundesliga. He became famous because of this. At this time, some people said that he was a world-class football coach.

But what about these two years?

Not to mention Bayern's recovery, Pan Yi suddenly appeared in the Bundesliga, which can be said to have stolen all the limelight from Klopp.

This "grabbing" is all-round!

First of all, Pan Yi's results are better than Klopp's.

Although Klopp has led Dortmund to win the Bundesliga championship, both in terms of points and game progress, they are not as dominant as Hamburg.

After all, Hamburg is undefeated and won the championship with the highest points in history!

In the Champions League, Klopp has been competing for several years and has only won the runner-up once.

On the other hand, Pan Yi led a team to participate in the Champions League for the first time and reached the final. This is not counting the championship he won when he was an assistant coach in Milan.

Secondly, Pan Yi has led the development of advanced football tactics in recent years.

The extensive use of inside forwards, the innovation of tucked-in full-backs, the use of pseudo-wingers, the improvement of the 4-3-3 formation...

There are even enhanced versions of the traditional column center, dynamic versions of defensive counterattacks, etc.

Klopp thinks he has some experience in tactical research. For example, the offensive system he built in Dortmund is what he is proud of.

But the problem is that compared with Pan Yi, he is not on the same level at all!
