The team arrived in Eindhoven on the afternoon of February 24th. They went to the venue for acclimatization training that night. On the day of the game, the team rested and explained techniques and tactics. In the afternoon, they took the bus to the Philips Stadium. Everything was normal.
.
The team doctor reported that forward Ruud van Nistelrooy and No. 1 goalkeeper Rost still have at least a week of recovery period, and they will not be able to play in the game against Bayern Munich. They really want to return to play for the team they used to play for.
Ruud Ruud had no choice but to stay in Hamburg.
In the past few days of training, Labbadia practiced the 4-5-1 and 4-3-2-1 formations according to the last name. The single arrow chose Petrich. In the recent training, Petrich's status
He has recovered, and Labbadia also wants him to adjust to the best as soon as possible.
The two attacking midfielders Labbadia uses are Trokhovsky and Ze Roberto, Yarolim is the defensive midfielder, Elia is the left midfielder, and Teshe is the right midfielder.
The four defenders, Ogo, Demel, Rozenar and Boateng, serve as the starters. The goalkeeper is played by second goalkeeper Hesl.
In addition to third goalkeeper Tom Mikel, the seven substitutes are Turkish forward Doron, who is in good form in training, forwards Berg, Rincon, Janssen, Behrens, and Chen Zhuo.
In terms of the lineup, it is also normal. Labbadia had previously thought about letting Chen Zhuo start as the goalkeeper instead of Hesl, but that was just a thought.

What is abnormal is that in the second minute of the game, PSV scored!
However, upon careful consideration, it is normal, because Eindhoven head coach Rutten has studied his opponent thoroughly, and launched a fierce attack at the beginning to give the opponent a head-on blow. This is how Rutten designed it!
In the past few days, the Hamburg team has been studying how to deal with PSV, and the opponents are naturally not idle either!
If Rost cannot play, it will take time for the second goalkeeper who has been away from home for a long time to adapt to the atmosphere of the competition. He will launch a fast break at the beginning and take a few more shots before the opponent's goalkeeper has adapted. This arrangement will
The probability of scoring a goal will definitely be high!
Furthermore, Eindhoven head coach Rutten judged that the Hamburg team must seek stability and try their best to drag the game into a positional battle and a protracted battle, focusing on defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack. After all, they won at home.
Another reason is the Hamburg team's own reasons. The players are too relaxed and think too much. This is what Chen Zhuo thinks. His mentality in analyzing the two favorable reasons also represents almost all of the Hamburg team.
The human mentality.
Moniz frowned while taking notes. Relatively speaking, he was one of the nervous few. At that time, he did not agree with head coach Labbadia’s idea that the game could easily be tied. At the same time, he did not agree with the formation changing from the familiar 442.
Adjusted to a defensive-oriented 4321, he advocated a fierce attack at the beginning, and then reduced the defense after scoring an away goal.
But now, it's too late to say this...

As soon as the main lineup was announced, PSV coach Rutten found Hamburg's weakness. The goal just now was launched from the left midfielder Elia.
Elia is a winger with strong offensive ability but weak defensive ability. After Eindhoven midfielder Englal got the ball, he easily broke through Elia and found the Hungarian left wing Ru with a long diagonal pass.
Zack.
The defense of Ruzak was assigned to midfielder Yarolim before the game, but Rutten asked Ruzak to move to the left as much as possible. When Englal passed the ball, Yarolim and Boateng were defending.
After a moment of mutual humility, Ruzak immediately bottomed out quickly...
The two points on the left and right were both calculated by others, so Ruzak made a diagonal pass after reaching the base, creating this threatening shot!
Center backs Rozenar and Demel made no mistakes in covering up the defense. PSV midfielder Lazovic, who connected with the left rib, did not actually use the kick, but this was just a matter of luck.
The kick missed, but it happened to reach the feet of the big Swedish blond Raivonen who was outflanking him from the right. Moreover, it was his right foot that he was good at. He shot directly without any adjustments.
Then, replacing Rost, Hessle, who had not fully adapted to the atmosphere of the competition, reacted half a beat too slowly, and did not fully execute his movements. The ball was just scored...

"Get nervous! Get nervous! Focus!" Labbadia shouted to the court dissatisfied.
This goal in the first 2 minutes immediately disrupted all Labbadia's pre-match arrangements. With this goal and the cheers of the home fans, the PSV players suddenly became excited and gathered around Hamburg.
With a furious attack, the game suddenly entered into PSV's rhythm.
Englal changed from the defensive midfielder position to the right midfielder position to face Elia. Not only did Labbadia's strategy of attacking the midfielder to mark the midfielder fail, but Englal's defense and positioning against Elia were also extremely poor.
Greatly weakened the threat of Hamburg's quick counterattack from the left.
Ruzak tried his best to use the width of the field to reach near the left sideline, making it impossible to implement the defensive plan of defensive midfielder Yarolim arranged before the game!
Both offense and defense have been calculated! Although the 48-year-old Lu Teng is not a famous coach, in terms of the adjustments for this game, he is still slightly better than the young coach Labbadia!
If these two people can't completely cut off this large diagonal of offense and defense, they won't be able to contain Eindhoven's offensive!
The first half of the game went on minute by minute with Hamburg fans on tenterhooks.
"Beep~~~" the referee blew the whistle. Boateng tripped Ruzak three or four meters outside the penalty area on the right side and committed a foul!
Chen Zhuo's heart was in his throat. A direct free kick from this distance and angle was also Ruzak's weapon for scoring!
"Oh, Hesl looks so nervous! No wonder, this player who is less than 24 years old has only played 5 times in three and a half seasons since he was transferred from the reserve team to the first team as a substitute goalkeeper in the 2007 season.
3 games, 2 games in the First Division, and this is Hesl’s first experience with European games. I wonder if the goalkeeper in this game is Patton, which will make us feel more at ease..." the commentator of Hamburg TV
The member blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, the commentator immediately added: "Oh, I almost forgot, Patton has only played 3 games in total and he was a substitute. This is his first time in the European competition..."
Throughout the first half, every time a defensive player was broken through, everyone would think of Chen Zhuo's performance on the defensive end. Every time he encountered a passing error or a breakthrough, the Hamburg team's commentator would always mention Chen Zhuo's performance in the previous games.
Zhuo passed the ball accurately with every kick. Everyone also expressed understanding that Chen Zhuo could not start this time. After all, the bandage on his arm has not been removed.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, PSV got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt, which was about 30 meters away from the goal.
"Ruzak stood alone in front of the ball. Ruzak's left foot hanging on the far corner is his signature move. He has scored no less than ten free kicks like this in his career. This is
Can Hesl block his shot once? We are also very worried for Hamburg..." Liu Hongjian, who commented on the Europa League, also showed his tendency in his words.
"This is a matter of experience. Although the Dutch Eredivisie is ranked lower than the Bundesliga in the European League, PSV, as a giant in the Eredivisie and a member of the European G14 giants, has more European experience than Hamburg.
Much richer, as can be seen from this game, the strength of the two teams is about the same, but in terms of competition experience, Eindhoven is still a level higher than Hamburg..." Zhang Lu said objectively
analysis.
"The referee blew the whistle, Ruzak, Ruzak took a run-up, and the outside instep of his left foot...the ball hit the player on the outside of the wall and changed direction...the ball went in! 2:0, Hamburg is in danger!"
Liu Hongjian expressed his worries.
The ball went in. Ruzak's shot hit the body of a Hamburg player on the outside of the wall and changed direction. Haesl actually judged the direction correctly, but the slight sideline left him helpless. The ball flew past the right post of the goal.
Entered the nest!
The Eindhoven fans gave thunderous cheers, and the Hamburg fans in the visiting team's stands were dumbfounded. They all held their heads and were dumbfounded.
"Now the total score has become 2:1. PSV has a one-goal lead, but Hamburg still has a chance. As long as they can recover a goal in the second half, they will be able to advance with the advantage of away goals..."
The Hamburg TV commentator kept encouraging the fans.
"In the first three games, every time Chen Zhuo came on as a substitute, he scored or assisted. In the game against Stuttgart, Chen Zhuo was the icing on the cake. In the two games against PSV and Eintracht Frankfurt, the two games were 1:0.
, Those two key goals are related to Chen Zhuo. Now the first half of the game is coming to an end. I don’t know if the head coach Labbadia will arrange for Chen Zhuo to play in the second half of the game. We hope to be able to play in the Europa League.
Seeing Chen Zhuo again brings a surprise to all of us..." Liu Hongjian explained.
During the live broadcast of this match, most of the viewers came for Chen Zhuo. The time difference between Eindhoven local time and Yanjing time is 7 hours. This match started at 7 pm local time in Eindhoven, and Yanjing time was already
At 2 o'clock in the morning on February 26, the audience who watched the game in the early morning naturally wanted to see Chen Zhuo. Otherwise, the Hamburg team was defeated and eliminated, and Chen Zhuo did not show up. What's the point?
"Dear viewers, now the referee has blown the whistle at the end of the first half. The score is locked at 2:0. PSV at home is leading. We will take a short break and bring you the second half of the game. Don't leave.
