Chapter 209 Pan Yi Arrived at His Faithful Hamburg
Chapter 209 Pan Yi arrived at his loyal Hamburg
At the beginning of the second half, Hamburg descended like a tiger from the mountain, opening its fangs and pounced on Fürth's position.
In the 46th minute, Hamburg passed the ball continuously in the frontcourt. Paulinho's powerful volley was saved by goalkeeper Hess. Wu Lei wanted to step forward to make a supplementary shot, but Hess reacted quickly and destroyed the ball out of the dangerous area.
A minute later, De Bruyne passed through the penalty area and shot low. Goalkeeper Hess confiscated the ball.
In the 49th minute, Son Heung-min passed two people and cut into the penalty area and shot low into the lower corner of the goal. Hess saved the ball again.
In the 51st minute, Wu Lei made a successful one-two with teammate Carvajal on the right. Wu Lei volleyed from the right side of the penalty area and scored, but he was offside and the goal was ruled invalid.
In the 53rd minute, Wu Lei passed back from the right, Casemiro shot hard from a long distance, and the goalkeeper flew to save the ball.
In the 55th minute, De Bruyne took a free kick and shot directly, but it was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 58th minute, Hamburg passed the ball continuously. De Bruyne made a direct pass and kicked the opponent's line. Paulinho, who followed in the back row, volleyed hard. Hess pounced on the ball, but failed to hold it in his arms.
Vardy quickly followed up and pushed the ball into Fürth's goal with the arch of his foot.
3:0!
Hamburg now leads by three goals, and Vardy also scored twice in this game.
This goal has already declared that the suspense of the game has been killed.
In fact, at this point in the game, Hamburg's ball possession rate has reached as high as 72%, and almost all offense and defense are taking place in Fürth's half.
Even the most optimistic Fürth fans can only pray that the team can concede a few fewer goals, rather than still hope for goals or even equalizers.
They couldn't even blame goalkeeper Hess for missing the ball.
In this game, Hamburg had countless shooting opportunities, and Hess saved many shots with high and low blocks. Under such circumstances, it is indeed understandable to make one or two mistakes.
But when the fans think so, Hess's own mentality seems to be a bit broken.
In the next game, he made two huge mistakes comparable to Karius!
In the 75th minute, Hess came outside the penalty area and received a back pass from his teammate.
At this time, Hamburg's frontcourt players began to press Hess and his teammates on his passing route. This is what Pan Yi has always arranged for them to do in the game.
Hess could have passed the ball to his teammate on the right immediately, but he chose to pull the ball back.
When he found that there was no passing line on the left side, Hess pulled the ball back to his right foot.
But at this time, Hess made a huge mistake in controlling the ball.
Due to excessive force in pulling the ball, Hess lost control of the ball.
Hamburg forward Vardy directly pushed the ball into the empty goal from a long distance after stealing the ball.
4:0! Vardy also completed a hat trick!
This is Vardy's first hat-trick in the top league for Hamburg, and it is also the first time a Hamburg player has completed a hat-trick this season.
In this conceding goal, Hess made a series of mistakes.
He missed the first opportunity to distribute the ball to the right. He chose to pull the ball a second time when he could have used his big foot to clear the ball, and made a mistake in controlling the ball during the second pull.
This kind of continuous mistakes can only be understood as that he has become a little mentally unbalanced when he keeps conceding the ball. What his head is thinking is inconsistent with what his body is doing, and his feet have no roots.
This gift from the goalkeeper completely destroyed Felt's morale, and also destroyed the last bit of Hess's confidence.
In the 85th minute, Hamburg took a corner kick from the right and defender Rudiger headed the ball towards the goal. Hess had basically saved the ball, but when he fell to the ground, he held the ball and rolled it into his own goal.
Although Hess finally tried to kick the ball out of the goal, the ball had already crossed the goal line and the referee blew the goal whistle.
5:0!
This goal also counts as an own goal by Hess.
Hess collapsed to the ground and refused to get up for a long time.
His mentality collapsed, and the mentality of the Felt players also completely collapsed.
The only good news for them now is that the game time is almost over.
They have never been like today, eager for the game to end quickly when they are behind.
Every minute and every second they spend on the court is as unbearable as going to jail!
"Felt has surrendered! They have surrendered!"
"Although there is indeed a certain gap in strength between the two sides, losing five goals in one game is quite desperate for any team."
"The Fürth players should reflect on their performance tonight. Especially goalkeeper Hess. His several mistakes are unforgivable, and it is not the performance that a Bundesliga-level goalkeeper should have."
"But we can also see that behind Hess's mistake, there seems to be an influence of Hamburg's strategy in this game. Today they were particularly active in pressing the goalkeeper, and they also paid great attention to Hess's weakness in controlling the aerial ball in passing.
Attacking, many players also stepped up their long-range shooting."
"Considering that Hamburg head coach Pan Yi has always had a terrifying control over the details of the game, we have reason to believe that this was intentional on his part!"
"Looking at Buskens, he should reflect on his tactics tonight."
"His team was suppressed and scored by Hamburg from the very beginning, which made his opening tactics seem a bit like a joke."
"Although he made adjustments later, he still couldn't withstand the waves of Hamburg's attacks."
"He may think that his defensive tactics can take away points at the People's Park Stadium, but he obviously ignored one thing. Hamburg is the Bundesliga team second only to Bayern in terms of offensive firepower this season!"
"In this case, Buskens's remarks before the game are even more of a joke."
"Not only did he fail to defeat Hamburg, but he suffered a five-goal defeat. I believe that soon, news of his dismissal will come..."
…
Hamburg finally defeated Fürth 5:0.
This score also created Pan Yi's largest victory record since he became an independent coach.
When he came over to shake hands, Buskens looked ugly and didn't even dare to look into Pan Yi's eyes.
(You know, if you don’t look into the opponent’s coach’s eyes when shaking hands, you may be considered disrespectful!)
But he still didn't say a word. After shaking hands, he left the stadium with a livid face.
He seemed to understand that this might be his last handshake on behalf of Felt...
"Coach Pan Yi."
Just as he was about to say goodbye with the players, Pan Yi heard someone calling him.
When he turned around, he saw an old man in a suit.
"My name is Huck, and I am the chairman of the Felt Club." The old man introduced himself with a smile, and then extended his hand, "Congratulations, you won this game wonderfully!"
"Oh, hello." Pan Yi immediately shook hands with Huck and said thank you.
But at this time, a club president appeared on the court and congratulated the head coach who defeated his team. It couldn't be because he was idle, right?
Rumors about the dismissal of their head coach Buskens have been ongoing, and this must be related.
Sure enough, Huck's second sentence began to ask about Pan Yi's intention to coach Felt.
He even said that if Pan Yi was willing to coach Felt, they could announce Buskens' dismissal on the spot.
Huck said sincerely: "As Chairman Felt, I assure you that when you arrive at our team, you will be the director. You can take care of all the team's affairs, including player transfers, personnel management... I will never interfere.
.”
This can be said to be very sincere.
Coach Pan Yi can also become director Pan Yi.
Although he has a lot of power in Hamburg now, he is still the head coach in his position and does not seem to have as much panache as the director.
But Pan Yi smiled and shook his head, "After tonight's battle, I think your team will not be able to stay in the relegation. Do you think I will go to a German second-division team to coach?"
"It's still too late. I believe that if you come, it's still too late. I believe in you." Hank stared into Pan Yi's eyes and said.
This can be regarded as a great affirmation of Pan Yi's ability.
Fürth has always been at the bottom in points, and is still far behind the relegation zone. To still believe that Pan Yi can successfully lead the team to avoid relegation is to treat Pan Yi like a god.
Pan Yi still shook his head: "No. Thank you very much for your trust in me. I wish you and Felt good luck!"
He will definitely not take over Felt at this time.
Whether he can avoid relegation is one thing. The main thing is how could he give up the foundation he worked so hard to build in Hamburg and come to take over the mess of Fürth?
What good does this do him?
Whether it is the foundation, funds, player familiarity, or even the size of the stadium or fan support, Fürth is completely incomparable to Hamburg.
Not only that the transfer period has passed and players cannot be bought, but even if they could be bought, a small club like Fürth would not be able to provide much money.
So Pan Yi simply refused and would not say any polite words such as "we will work together again if we have the opportunity".
Huck heard what Pan Yi meant, and shook hands with Pan Yi in disappointment.
He knew that nothing could happen between Felt and Pan Yi.
…
This scene was seen by Hamburg chairman Yahofer in the stands.
Although they were far away and couldn't hear what they were talking about, we could roughly guess what happened from their expressions.
On the one hand, Yachov lamented Pan Yi's loyalty to Hamburg and repeatedly rejected invitations from other teams.
On the other hand, Yachov also has a sense of crisis.
Schalke 04, Felt and Pan Yi may really look down on them.
But what if it’s a giant like Dortmund or even Bayern Munich!?
Don't say it's impossible.
Although Bayern's record is very good, their head coach Heynckes is 67 years old and has revealed his desire to retire after the end of this season.
Dortmund's Klopp has attracted the attention of some overseas teams because of his outstanding performance in recent years. It is said that Liverpool of the Premier League is particularly interested in him.
If the head coaches of these two teams leave, they will definitely have to find a successor.
Based on the habits of these two giants, they will be more inclined to look for domestic replacement coaches who have achieved success in the Bundesliga and are more familiar with the Bundesliga environment.
So, who is the most popular head coach in the Bundesliga today?
Pan Yi: That's right.
And once Bayern or Dortmund take action, no one can say whether Pan Yi can resist the temptation.
Therefore, despite Pan Yi's red heart pointing towards Hamburg, Yahov was still a little panicked.
"It's time to hurry up and renew the contract!" Yahov said worriedly.
…
The day after the game, the German media praised Pan Yi and his Hamburg.
This includes not only Hamburg's local "Hamburg Morning Post", Germany's most important newspaper "Bild", "Kicker", and even "Ruhr News", which has always criticized Pan Yi.
They rarely formed a united front and played Pan Yi together.
"Bild" pointed out in its comments that compared with Hamburg at the beginning of the season, they are now significantly stronger and more dominant on the court. They have truly possessed the temperament of a strong Bundesliga team.
"Kicker" said that in the second half of the season after the winter break, Hamburg achieved an astonishing record of six wins and one draw. If Bayern's performance this season had not been too horrific, Hamburg might even be able to compete for the league championship.
"Hamburg Morning Post" analyzed the strength gap between Hamburg and Bayern, indicating that it is not easy for Hamburg led by Pan Yi to achieve such results.
"The value of Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez alone is more than that of Hamburg's entire team. It can be said that Pan Yi used a relegation team, with the budget of a mid-tier team at most, to win the championship.
Super performance!"
"Ruhr News" also had to admit that Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, the two teams in the Ruhr Industrial Zone, have higher player values than Hamburg, but their performance on the field and game results are far behind.
This fully illustrates Pan Yi's coaching level.
Moreover, Pan Yi played pleasing offensive football in many games, which made all fans more willing to enter the stadium or turn on the TV to watch Hamburg games.
Here, it’s not just the local fans of Hamburg, Hamburg now has a lot of international influence.
Especially in Asia, watching Hamburg games every weekend has almost become a habit.
When Pan Yi saw these news reports, he felt quite happy.
Especially the media that had always been slandering him, but now they are changing their attitudes and positions step by step as time goes by, and even starting to kneel down and lick him. It really feels like Napoleon entered Paris:
"A young boy from the Dragon Kingdom came to Hamburg to coach."
"The German Cup was eliminated, and the incompetent people exposed the low level of coaching."
"With a despicable sneak attack, Pan Yi stole a victory that should have belonged to Dortmund."
"Pan Yi leads Hamburg to defeat Bayern Munich."
"Hamburg defeated Dortmund again in an away game, and Pan Yi began to show his true qualities as a king."
"The all-powerful St. Panyi arrived in his faithful Hamburg today with a huge victory over Fürth."
…
A few days later, Yachov came to the Hamburg training center to find Pan Yi.
He originally wanted to slowly think about how to negotiate the contract extension with Pan Yi, but he didn't sleep well these nights.
One moment I dreamed that Pan Yi ran away with Bayern, and the other moment I felt that Pan Yi was meeting with the top management of Dortmund. It felt like I had a beautiful wife, but I was always worried about being seduced by a rich man, and then I would end up with my own head.
It's just green.
He also dreamed that Pan Yi really left, and then Hamburg's performance plummeted, and the fans surrounded the chairman's office and cursed...
Yachov even thought of another more likely potential threat.
That is Pan Yi’s former club, AC Milan!
In the last quarter-finals of the Champions League, Barcelona defeated AC Milan 4:0 at home and achieved a comeback!
The defending champion AC Milan fell in the top 16 and failed to advance further.
In addition, Milan's poor performance in the league this season is 11 points behind Juventus at the top of the standings, and the Serie A championship has basically been lost.
In the Coppa Italia, Milan was also eliminated by Juventus.
This means that AC Milan, last season's Triple Crown winner, is about to usher in a season in which all four major players will be defeated.
This huge gap from last season has put coach Allegri under a lot of pressure, and even affected the team's director Galliani and chairman Silvio Berlusconi.
Therefore, rumors that Milan is about to change its coach are also rampant.
Obviously, if AC Milan really wants to change coaches, Pan Yi, who won the Triple Crown with the team last season and is recognized by everyone, will definitely be the best choice.
For Pan Yi, AC Milan is not comparable to Schalke 04, Felt and the like.
Even Bayern Munich and Dortmund can't compare!
Everyone knows that Pan Yi has feelings for AC Milan.
This kind of emotional bond is sometimes not something that money or other things can affect.
Therefore, Yahov must take the initiative immediately!
If you wait until AC Milan contacts Pan Yi, it will be too late!
…
Pan Yi was also browsing the news on the computer in the office at this time.
As someone who is determined to participate in the Champions League next season, of course he also has to pay attention to some of the latest Champions League results.
The game in which Milan was eliminated by Barcelona was of course what he cared about the most.
He had watched the live broadcast of this game before, and was really shocked by Allegri's formation.
Not to mention that some of the original main players were abandoned, but I don’t know if it was because of the 2:0 home victory over Barcelona in the first round that made Ah Jong a little inflated. In this game, he actually arranged a weird 4-1-2-2-1.
The formation, while giving up the wings, also put Boateng at the front as a striker.
As a result, Milan's sideline was completely blown away, and its own offense was unable to perform.
After Messi scored twice in the first half, Milan's defeat was actually determined at this time.
Allegri was still unable to make reasonable adjustments in the second half. Villa scored another goal for Barcelona, and Alba's goal in stoppage time completely killed the game.
It can only be said that with a coach like Allegri who took advantage of him, Milan did not lose unfairly.
One general is incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted!
In addition to Milan, Pan Yi also paid attention to the performance of the three Bundesliga teams.
Schalke 04 lost to Galatasaray 2:3 at home and was also eliminated.
Dortmund defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 at home to advance.
What surprised Pan Yi a little was that Bayern Munich actually lost 0:2 to Arsenal at home!
This is Bayern's first loss since the winter.
(Spoilers for travellers: If you don’t count Hamburg, this is also the most difficult game for the almost invincible Bayern this season. This echoes the sentence: XXX is invincible!)
Fortunately, they had defeated their opponents 3:1 in the away game before, so they still managed to eliminate Arsenal with more away goals and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
There is another highlight battle in the round of 16, which is Real Madrid vs. Manchester United.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United with a total score of 3:2. Ronaldo scored in both rounds against his old club. He is still in great form now.
The results of other games were Juventus with a total score of 5:0 Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain 3:2 Valencia, and Malaga 2:1 Porto.
The draw for the quarterfinals came out soon:
Malaga vs Dortmund.
Real Madrid vs Galatasaray.
Bayern Munich vs Juventus.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona.
The first two games are nothing, but the last two are strong dialogues, which are somewhat interesting.
…
Pan Yi was watching when Yahov came in.
"Pan Yi, let's talk about the new contract." Yahov said impatiently as soon as he entered the office.
Pan Yi raised his head and glanced at the haggard-looking Yahov, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Why, are you afraid that I will run away suddenly?"
"I only signed a two-year contract last time, which I thought was sloppy. This time I signed a new one, for a few more years. Whatever salary you want, just raise it..."
Before Yachov could finish speaking, Pan Yi said with a smile: "Is it because if you sign for three or four years, those big teams won't come to poach you?"
"Uh..." Yahov was speechless, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
He had been in a hurry because of Pan Yi's contract renewal, but he seemed to have forgotten about the liquidated damages.
Even if he signs a new four-year contract with Pan Yi now, and comes to Real Madrid or Milan, if the liquidated damages are thrown away, isn't he taking the person away?
It’s not that Yahov wants any liquidated damages, he wants Pan Yi!
Speaking of which, in world football, there are really only a handful of head coaches who can completely fulfill the contract period and leave the team.
Either he was poached midway, or he was forced to leave get out of class.
Therefore, in addition to performance, the main factors for whether a head coach can stay with a team are...
"When I choose a team, it depends on whether the club feels like home," Pan Yi said, "and whether I can get support and help from this home."
"Huh?" Yahov certainly understood what Pan Yi said.
This is also the reason why Pan Yi chose Hamburg in the first place.
All kinds of power, all kinds of support...
But the burgers were indeed given away!
Now in the entire Hamburg club, Pan Yi probably has the most authority. As chairman, Yahofer may not necessarily have as much control over things as Pan Yi does!
Correspondingly, everyone in the club is also very convinced of Pan Yi. This Longguo coach has a very high reputation and everyone is willing to do things for him.
But, what does he mean by this now?
Yahov didn't quite understand this.
"I am diligent and thrifty and manage my family and live a prosperous life." At this time, Pan Yi spoke again, "But we still want to live a better life, so we will build a bigger house next year."
"???" Yahov, an upright old German man, was already full of question marks.
"Building a bigger house requires more money." Pan Yi finally said, "So, as the head of the family, do you want to give me, the family manager, more support?"
He has been talking for a long time, which means that Hamburg will play in the Champions League next year. You have to look at the transfer budget and other things, and it will definitely be more...
