The news quickly spread throughout the world the next day.
Especially in European football, this news caused an uproar.
In the past, this would have been just an ordinary piece of news about a game that would only sometimes be classified as a preseason game.
But now, the loser in this news is Bayern Munich, and they lost by three goals!
This is Bayern, which swept the entire Europe last season!
Moreover, Hamburg did not win with defensive tactics like some teams that can occasionally beat strong teams.
They set up a battle array with Bayern for a midfield battle, and effectively controlled the rhythm of the game, allowing Guardiola to lose with all his heart!
In terms of technical statistics after the game, Hamburg basically overwhelmed Bayern.
Ball possession rate: 56%-44%.
Pass success rate: 93%-85%.
Shot:18-9.
Shots on target:9-3…
Although there is no clear distinction between strength and weakness, such comprehensive data lag is very rare for Bayern, and it is unprecedented for Guardiola.
Therefore, some media exclaimed, is the world of the Bundesliga really going to change?
The heroic words Pan Yi has been shouting about winning the Bundesliga championship last season and this season seem to be really not just a slogan!
There are also some famous players and coaches who highlighted the 433 innovative tactics used by Hamburg in the Super Cup in the talk show.
They exclaimed that Pan Yi had brought the study of football tactics to a whole new era!
Whether it is the use of traditional centers, the winger's switching style, the linkage between the central midfielder and the winger, and the special positioning of the full-back...
These are rarely seen in previous games.
Everyone believes that Hamburg is currently the most advanced in the Bundesliga in terms of training and playing style. This is the core reason why Hamburg can defeat Bayern.
Hamburg legend Uwe Schiller specifically said in his column:
"The tactics Pan Yi used in Hamburg are likely to affect and profoundly change the development of German football and even world football."
"This is not an exaggeration. Countless coaches are looking for tactical perfection, but they always fail. Pan Yi's approach seems to provide them with a ready-made answer."
"Guardiola claimed to have been inspired by Pan Yi after the game and publicly called Pan Yi an absolute tactical genius."
"Reminiscing that Pan Yi was called a genius by Allegri when he was an assistant coach in Milan, I guess excellent coaches have the same view of him."
"Perhaps, in the past two years, countless coaches have begun to study the advanced tactics brought by Pan Yi and put them into practice, but we have no way of knowing."
"But after Pan Yi led his team to a victory over Bayern, this game will definitely attract more people's attention, and Hamburg's tactics in this game will be promoted around the world."
"Judging from the games in the past two years, Pan Yi's tactics are always forward-looking and breakthrough. He is really like a genius from the future!..."
There are even gamers who agree with this.
Senior players of FM Football Manager said that since the role of "inside full-back" was introduced in FM2012 and became popular in FM2013, they have found in countless tests that it is often easier to use this full-back tactic in games.
Win.
They have also developed many divine formations based on this, allowing players to play with ease in the game.
But players have always been wondering why game companies want to add such positional responsibilities?
This thing almost does not exist in the real world!
But later, SI's game director Jack mentioned in an interview that the idea of adding an "inside full-back" was proposed by Pan Yi, the current Hamburg head coach.
Pan Yi is the spokesperson for the FM series of games and also a senior consultant, so SI Company listened to his opinions.
And today, in the German Super Cup, Pan Yi vividly demonstrated what the so-called "inside full-back" is in a real game and how it plays its role in the game.
of.
This proves that Pan Yi has actually had ideas about today's tactics for a long time, but he has not yet put them into practice. According to Pan Yi's later explanation, it was because he felt that the players' abilities at the time had not yet met his requirements.
We can only put this new tactical idea on hold for the time being.
Looking at it this way, Pan Yi is really a god!
This style of play is indeed very useful both in the game and in reality!
Therefore, Pan Yi is also called the "FM subversive" by players.
…
Shortly after the Super Cup, Hamburg will face the first round of the German Cup.
What a coincidence, Hamburg was drawn to Karlsruhe again this time!
This is actually not a good sign for burgers.
The German Cup is divided into 6 rounds. In the first round, a total of 64 teams participated, divided into 2 groups.
18 first-division teams and 14 second-division teams are classified into the first group, while the other 4 promoted second-division teams and 28 lower-level teams are classified into the second group. The teams are determined by drawing lots.
The team with the lower level in the first round has the right to play at home.
Karlsruhe was the champion of the German third division last season and has just been promoted to the second division this season.
Their goal in the Bundesliga this season is also to strive for the top three, and they want to make a second-level jump into the Bundesliga.
In other words, Karlsruhe is theoretically the strongest team that Hamburg can draw!
However, the result of this draw made the media quite excited.
After all, Hamburg was upset and eliminated by Karlsruhe in the first round last season. At that time, it also triggered a discussion on whether Pan Yi was a parallel import;
And now that the two meet again, there will definitely be more topics to talk about!
Now that Pan Yi and Hamburg have just defeated Bayern to win the Super Cup, they are in the limelight, so can Karlsruhe be upset again?
Can Hamburg defeat Karlsruhe in one fell swoop and avenge its past humiliation?
This is more interesting than Hamburg playing a German regional team!
Therefore, at the press conference before the game, many reporters wanted to make Pan Yi angry and wanted to induce Pan Yi to say some cruel words such as "revenge".
But Pan Yi simply said, "This is just an ordinary German Cup, we'll see you on the field" and ended the press conference, leaving the reporters not disappointed.
Regarding the German Cup, Pan Yi really wants to go further and is even preparing to win it.
But its importance is indeed not as important as the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Therefore, Pan Yi will use rotation players as much as possible in the German Cup to avoid the main players getting tired from playing too many games and even causing injuries.
And it’s not what it used to be.
Hamburg's current lineup is not as thick as last season.
Not to mention that the new players introduced one after another have greatly enriched the team's strength, let's talk about the substitute players who have been staying in Hamburg's formation. After more than a year of guidance and training by Pan Yi and the coaching staff, they have improved their abilities.
A big improvement.
Young players like Lin Zhijian and Calhanoglu are naturally increasing the ball. Even "veterans" like Westerman and Janssen seem to be reborn, and they understand the entire technical and tactical skills.
Everything has reached a new level.
——In fact, they are not old, not even 30 years old, they are just a bit old compared to other players in Hamburg now.
Therefore, when formulating the 18-man roster for this German Cup, Pan Yi did not even bring a few regular starting players.
Forwards: Mitrovic, Lin Zhijian, Wu Lei, Vardy, Best.
Midfielder: Calhanoglu, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe, De Bruyne, Arslan.
Defenders: Janssen, Westerman, Kjaer, Dickmeier, Van Dijk, Jonathan Towers.
Goalkeeper: Drobny, Neuhaus.
Best, Arslan, Yonatan Tower and others on this list were all promoted by Pan Yi from the reserve team this season.
Their strength is actually quite good and they can all reach the Bundesliga level.
Arslan, who plays as a midfielder, is flexible, technical and has good vision, while forward Best is very fast and has certain long-range shooting ability.
Especially Yonatan Tower, this 17-year-old defender is tall and strong, with a height of 195cm and a weight of 95kg!
He has played from the German U16 national team to U19, and will be selected for the national team in the future and play the main role in a strong team like Leverkusen.
Of course, there is a more important reason for selecting them: they are all products of Hamburg's youth training and are players with local registration!
Jonathan Tower is even like Lin Zhijian, a son of his own who was born and raised in Hamburg, and is a prince!
This can be regarded as Pan Yi's preparation for the Champions League registration.
At that time, the registration list for the Champions League will be able to register 25 players over the age of 21, which must include 4 players "cultivated by this association" + 4 players "cultivated by this club", which is what everyone often calls 4+4.
It should be noted that "training" here has nothing to do with nationality.
For example, in Hamburg's current lineup, Son Heung-min and Lin Zhijian are players "trained by this club."
Therefore, with the addition of Arslan and Best, both 22 years old, there are four such players with registered permanent residence, which meets the demand for Champions League registration.
As for Jonathan Tower, he is only 17 years old and only needs to register for the B list (it can be understood that he does not need to register and will be listed directly when the time comes).
And there are even more players "trained by this association" in the Hamburg team. Calhanoglu, Rudiger, Westermann, Dickmeier, Janssen, Neuhaus, these are all, they have already overflowed.
Already.
Returning to the German Cup, Pan Yiyou asked Nargelsmann to watch the first two Bundesliga games in Karlsruhe and collect a lot of information about the current team.
He found that the formation used by this team is still the traditional 442.
It is also common to have two forwards, one tall and one fast. The high forward is the 193cm Dutchman Van der Bizen, and the fast one is the German forward Hennings.
The main method of play is for the full midfielders on both wings to feed the forwards, or for the central midfielders to dribble the ball forward.
This classic striker combination and simple style of play is still quite lethal in the lower leagues. Karlsruhe also won two consecutive games in the first two rounds.
But for Pan Yi, this is not enough.
His new 433 specializes in such traditional 442!
Of course, for the sake of safety, he still included more players in the starting lineup who are more familiar with this 433 formation:
Forwards: Mitrovic, Lin Zhijian, Wu Lei.
Midfielder: Calhanoglu, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe.
Defenders: Janssen, Westermann, Kjaer, Dickmeier.
Goalkeeper: Drobny.
Those players with registered permanent residence who were transferred from the reserve team would sit on the bench and watch, and then come on if they had the chance.
As for goalkeepers, the 35-year-old Neuhaus has not been in very good shape recently, and he himself has revealed his intention to retire after this season.
Therefore, Pan Yi also "righted" the 33-year-old Czech goalkeeper Drobny as the first substitute goalkeeper, giving him a chance to start in this German Cup game.
…
On the evening of August 4th, the Wild Park Stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 spectators, was already full of people.
Karlsruhe's first-round German Cup match against Hamburg at home is about to begin.
In the home team's locker room, Karlsruhe's head coach Markus Kawczynski was asking his players loudly:
"Do you know who we are facing tonight?"
The 42-year-old young coach was originally the coach of Karlsruhe's second team and served as the interim coach of Karlsruhe's first team three times. It was not until he led the team to the Bundesliga 2 last year that he officially became a regular coach.
He has always been known for his passionate speeches.
"Hamburg!" a player shouted, "Hamburg, Bundesliga team!"
"Yes, they are a Bundesliga team and they just defeated Bayern Munich." When Kaucinski said this, he kept looking directly at his players, "But at the same time, they were in the German Cup last season.
Lost to our hamburger!"
There was a burst of cheers in the locker room.
They participated in the Bundesliga 3rd competition with a Bundesliga 2 team last season, so the lineup did not change much after they won the championship and were promoted to the Bundesliga 2. Many players had participated in the German Cup last season.
"I've got their starting lineup." Kaucinski continued, "Compared with the starting lineup against Bayern a few days ago, only one center is still there, and the other 10 players have all been replaced. What does this mean?
"
"They look down on us!" one player said angrily.
"Yes, they look down on us!" Kaucinski nodded, "Pan Yi, the head coach from the Dragon Kingdom, how dare he look down on us! He clamored all day long to win the Bundesliga championship and defeat Bayern, so he didn't
He takes a second-division team like us seriously. No, in his eyes, all teams except Bayern are losers!"
Kawczynski's voice became louder and louder, and the players on the scene were affected.
It’s so disrespectful!
"But he seems to have forgotten that we have defeated them before! Last season, at almost the same time and in the same place, they came here with the same arrogance, but they were defeated by us too!"
"We also have to show our best performance and tell them severely in front of Pan Yi and Hamburg that the German second division team, at least our Karlsruhe, is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by them!"
"They can beat Bayern, and we can beat them too!"
"Tell me, are you wimps?"
"No!!!!" The players stood up one after another and shouted in unison.
"Very well, go out and prove it to me!"
…
When Kauchinski walked into the stadium, Pan Yi came over with a smile and shook hands with him.
Kawczynski, on the other hand, shook his hand politely with a straight face, let out a "hum" from his nostrils, then let go and walked to the home team's bench without even saying a word.
The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. Wouldn't it be a failure to laugh?
Pan Yi was confused.
You don’t owe him money, right?
Why so fierce?
"You have now become the target of public criticism in German football." Nagelsmann smiled and poked Pan Yi in the waist.
"What should I say?" Pan Yi turned around.
"You led the team to defeat Bayern!" Nagelsmann said, "Isn't it the first shot? And we Germans generally have strong self-esteem. Your full-rotation lineup may not be respected by others.
It’s normal for him to be a little angry.”
"Oh, my own players, who can I say?" Pan Yi pinched his nose, "That's okay."
"What's wrong?"
"Let me prove that I really don't look down on them. Because our lineup is enough to defeat them!"
…
Amid the cheers of more than 20,000 Karlsruhe fans, and with the referee's whistle, the first round of the German Cup officially kicked off.
When Karlsruhe's forward Vanderby kicked the ball to his teammate Hennings, Hamburg's frontcourt trident, which had been ready to go, quickly rushed into Karlsruhe's half and pushed straight into the opponent's hinterland.
, began to press in the frontcourt.
This is the tactical requirement for this game formulated by Pan Yi.
Since the current two full-backs Jansson and Dickmeier are not as good as Robertson and Carvajal in terms of ability, it is also difficult to perfectly implement the inside-back full-back style, so Pan Yi asked them to continue to play as normal.
The fullback kicks the ball.
At the same time, Pan Yi asked the midfielder and frontcourt to increase the intensity of the frontcourt press in order to suppress the ball in the opponent's half to the maximum extent. In this way, it does not matter whether to adduct or not.
Moreover, for a Bundesliga 2 team like Karlsruhe, especially last season when they were still playing in Bundesliga 3, the technology in that environment is relatively rough and the offensive and defensive rhythm is relatively slow. If Hamburg comes up and presses with all their strength, they will definitely
Can't adapt.
So, after the opening whistle, Hamburg's midfield and frontcourt all pressed forward.
The one at the front was the tall and extremely strong Mitrovic.
Although his absolute running speed is not fast, due to his large mass and kinetic energy, Karlsruhe will have a sense of oppression when facing his pressing, and force them to pass the ball to their teammates in order to
Avoid its sharp edges.
Today Wu Lei is playing as a left winger, which is Pan Yi's small acceptance of his recent training results.
Lin Zhijian plays as a right winger.
Although this guy mainly plays as a winger, he has recently become an all-around fighter under Pan Yi and has played almost every position except center back and goalkeeper.
This can be regarded as Pan Yi's requirement for rotation players, which is to be able to adapt to as many positions as possible.
After all, there are only 18 people on the registration list for each game. In addition to the starting 11 and a substitute goalkeeper, there are actually only 6 substitutes who can actually be used.
Under normal circumstances, these six people are two forwards, two midfielders, and two defenders.
Just imagine if these six people can only play one position, they will not be able to cover 10 holes on the court.
Take the defenders as an example. If these two defenders are substituted, one can only play as center back and the other can only play as left back. If the right back is injured or needs to make tactical adjustments and comes off the field, who should be replaced?
Therefore, versatile players like Janssen, Westermann, and Lin Zhijian are still very useful, and they are also conducive to the diversification of Pan Yi's adjustments on the court.
Now on the court, Lin Zhijian and Wu Lei cooperated with Mitrovic to press Karlsruhe's backcourt.
Following the three of them were Hamburg's three midfielders.
Calhanoglu, Paulinho, and Makoto Hasebe, they also went straight to the opponent's hinterland and built a "protective net" along the center line to prevent the ball from crossing the center line.
This made the small number of Hamburg fans who came to cheer in the away game very excited.
This opening is about to take off!
They also cheered passionately despite the boos of the Karlsruhe fans, cheering for Hamburg!
And soon, the first shot of the game appeared.
Paulinho grabbed the opponent's goalkeeper's kick and distributed the ball to the left.
I saw Jansen quickly moving forward along the left wing, striding forward with the ball.
Without waiting for the defensive players to get in position, he passed the ball to Wu Lei in front of him and went up to the edge himself.
Wu Lei didn't stop the ball and directly handed it to Jansen, completing this rim cooperation that he often practiced in training.
Jansen stepped in, stopped, and then passed with his left foot.
Mitrovic in the center moved forward quickly, rushing to the goal like a heavy tank, overwhelming the opponent's central defender and heading the ball towards the goal.
Unfortunately, the ball went over the crossbar and slid out!
…
This attack made Kawczynski look on the sidelines dumbfounded.
Isn't this too fast?
How much time has passed since the start of the game? Has it been thirty seconds? Hamburg has already completed its first shot.
And the kickoff is from Karlsruhe!
Hamburg is so oppressive!
They failed to pass the ball in the backcourt at all, so the goalkeeper had no choice but to take a big kick, and then gave the ball to the opponent.
Then Hamburg launched this very threatening attack.
Karlsruhe's defense was simply unstoppable!
Even, he didn’t react at all!
Jesus! Is this burger really made up entirely of bench players???
This kind of tacit cooperation and this kind of tactical execution feel stronger than the main players of most Bundesliga teams!
Although Karlsruhe is a Bundesliga 2 team, they were upset many times in the German Cup last season when they were still in the 3rd Bundesliga.
In addition to defeating Hamburg, they also defeated strong opponents along the way and reached the top 16 directly. In the end, they only narrowly lost to Freiburg, who played as the main force, with a score of 0:1.
Therefore, Kawczynski has seen real Bundesliga teams.
But he has never seen such terrifying oppression today!
Compared with other teams that also attach great importance to pressing, Hamburg's frontcourt press is stronger and their investment is more determined!
At the same time, the overall speed of Hamburg is also faster, sharper and more concise.
Whether it's a counterattack on the spot when switching from offense to defense, or a quick counterattack when switching from defense to offense, they all play very fast.
This resulted in Karlsruhe not even being able to attack once in the first five minutes of the game.
Hamburg, on the other hand, is still launching offensives again and again.
In the 7th minute, this time Lin Zhijian from the right dribbled the ball through, went to the right side of the penalty area, and sent a cross pass.
Mitrovic took a shot with his back and returned the ball. Paulinho stepped in and kicked a powerful and heavy shot into the goal.
The ball went straight into the upper left corner of the goal.
"Goalllllllllllllllllllll Paulinho!!!!!"
7 minutes, only 7 minutes!
Karlsruhe's defense only lasted 7 minutes before being defeated by Hamburg!
