Others may not understand Guardiola’s intentions, but Pan Yi understands them.
It is precisely because of the playing style of Hamburg's two tucked-in full-backs that Hamburg is always in a favorable position in the midfield battle. This has prevented Bayern from gaining the possession of the ball that Guardiola wanted.
And possession of the ball is what Guardiola values most in his coaching career!
In order to achieve this goal, he can remove all forwards and devote all his forces to the midfield battle - this is actually something he often sees done in his career.
But of course there are big flaws in doing so.
That is the lack of a real center in the frontcourt, and the team lacks a fulcrum and bridgehead. When the ball is played in front, it can basically only seek shooting opportunities through short passes in a small area.
The playing style at this time is a bit monotonous and can easily be broken by the opponent's intensive defense.
What's more, Bayern is still lagging behind?
When falling behind, playing forward and moving into midfield is really something only Guardiola can do...
And Pan Yi is obviously not ready to play with Guardiola in the midfield.
Between the 70th and 75th minutes, he made three substitutions in a row.
Mitrovic exits, Vardy enters.
Exit Salah, enter Wu Lei.
De Bruyne exits, Paulinho enters.
In the midfield, Pan Yi replaced De Bruyne with Paulinho, who is stronger and has a tougher style, further strengthening the intensity of the midfield confrontation.
Paulinho's offensive ability can also ensure that Hamburg's midfield organization and operation will not be too affected - Kante and Casemiro are still standing beside him!
Just in time, De Bruyne was a little tired from the previous battles, so Pan Yi asked the vice-captain to come down and have a rest. There are still many tough battles waiting for him!
And Vardy's appearance is a bit targeted.
Didn’t you have sex with Dante?
Dante, the Brazilian international, has precise positioning and strong aggression, including man-marking and stealing skills. The young Mitrovic may indeed have a hard time meeting him.
But he has a well-known shortcoming: slow speed and slow turn!
If we use the numerical values in FM games, the data of "explosive power", "speed" and "flexibility" are not very good.
Therefore, replacing Vardy at this time is to use his speed to impact Dante!
At the same time, replacing Wu Lei can be regarded as a supporting service.
After he replaced Salah, he still stood on the right wing and played as a smooth passing winger.
His main task is to break through the opponent's left defense line on the wing, and then create opportunities for Vardy in the center.
In this way, the opponent's defender still has to adapt to the change from the reverse foot to the smooth foot.
As for Son Heung-min on the other side, he is originally a balanced player with both left and right feet. He is very good at cutting in with his back foot or passing with his foot, so for him, he only needs to change his tactical thinking.<
/p>
——This is also the big gap between Wu Lei and Sun Xingmin. For defenders, they will often pay attention to restricting the opponent's smooth performance when guarding forwards, but it is difficult to guard against a two-legged monster like Sun Xingmin.
Do it.
When Pan Yi made targeted substitutions in response to Guardiola's substitutions, the situation on the field began to change.
In terms of ball possession rate, Bayern is gradually catching up.
This is normal!
Bayern's current formation is almost a 460 formation.
Kroos, Thiago, Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, these four midfielders plus Muller and Robben, the first six people are concentrated in the midfield to compete with Hamburg. Hamburg originally had three midfielders, plus half of the inside full-backs. The total was four, and they were suddenly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
But at the same time, due to the constant harassment of Hamburg's frontcourt trio, Hamburg also began to attack more through direct passes from the backcourt to the front, which resulted in more shooting opportunities.
An attack in the 81st minute was the epitome of this scene.
Bayern's pressing pressure in the midfield forced Hamburg to pass the ball back to the backcourt.
But Van Dijk sent a long pass directly into Bayern's penalty area.
Vardy understood the situation and quickly moved forward, leaping high to grab the landing point of the ball.
It's a pity that he couldn't hit the goal when he shook his head, and the ball flew out of the baseline after hitting his head.
Seeing this scene, Guardiola almost scratched his bald head.
Of course he can see that Hamburg's offensive threat is greater, while Bayern is more likely to be more thunderous than rainy, but he can't do anything about it now!
If we do not strengthen midfield control and let Hamburg continue to attack through the midfield organization as casually as they did in the first half, Bayern may be defeated!
But now that he has strengthened the midfield, Pan Yi has changed his tactics to deal with it, which really puts Guashuai in a dilemma.
This is obviously to prepare to use speed to defeat Bayern's counterattack.
But how can Guardiola choose? Or, does he have any other choice?
After all, there are only 10 minutes left in the game, and Bayern is still two goals behind!
He can only let Bayern's generals continue to press and work hard to find opportunities in the frontcourt.
"Were they that good last season?" Guardiola couldn't help but muttered.
He has never played against Pan Yi's Hamburg, so his understanding of this Hamburg is mainly through some game videos from last season and some footage from this season's warm-up matches.
He originally thought that he knew enough about Hamburg and was confident that he could use Bayern's powerful lineup to suppress the opponent.
However, there are many things that cannot be discerned at all just by watching game videos.
Because the lens has limitations.
Let’s just talk about Pan Yi’s tight-fitting full-back style of play, which is often invisible in the broadcast footage.
When Hamburg is attacking, the camera will only focus on the ball-carrying players in the frontcourt and the receiving players, while Robertson or Carvajal standing behind may have quietly moved to the midfielder position at this time.
When the opponent steals the ball and starts to counterattack, only the two full-backs from Hamburg suddenly appear in the camera to intercept, but it is impossible to completely see where they are coming from.
Also, when the two teams switch offense and defense, the movement of the players when switching from the offensive formation to the defensive formation, and the defensive areas of each position on the court must also be seen through the global lens.
And this is where the true strength of the team can be truly and objectively reflected.
This is why today's technology has become so advanced, but many head coaches still choose to go to the scene to spy on their opponents' games.
But Guardiola obviously found that he had underestimated the enemy and had not observed Pan Yi's game at all. The poor record in Hamburg's warm-up match did paralyze Guardiola to a certain extent.
So not to mention going to see it in person, not even an assistant was sent there.
But now, Gua Shuai discovered that the real burger is more powerful than the one in the video.
Whether it’s the reasonableness of the overall formation or the combination of players’ individual abilities and teamwork.
Whether it’s the calm control of the midfield or the sharp counterattack now.
And...physical fitness.
After such a high-intensity 80-minute confrontation, even Bayern's players were a little overwhelmed, but Hamburg's players seemed to have endless energy.
"They are... stronger than last season. They seem to have improved a lot." Assistant coach Grande said helplessly, "Whether it is the individual abilities of the players or the team's overall tactics, they feel very strong."
Guardiola looked back at Grande, shook his head and sighed.
He had to admit that although he had always thought Pan Yi was a tactical genius, he still underestimated him in his heart.
Pan Yi is indeed amazing!
Just because he was able to form such a strong team mainly composed of young people in just over a year, I can’t believe it!
Fortunately, this is just a Super Bowl game.
This kind of competition is important even if it is important, and it is not important even if it is not important.
Super Bowl champions may sound awesome, but in fact they are often just an added bonus.
For example, Barcelona was known as the "six-time champion", which included the Super Cup champion.
And now if Bayern loses this Super Cup, at worst it will not be called the "Six Crown Champions" in the future, but at most it will be called the "Five Crown Champions".
Thinking of this, Guardiola was shocked for no reason.
I actually think this way now. Is it because I admit in my heart that the game has been lost? I have no power to fight back?
This is not what a world-class coach should think about!
Guardiola shook his head and drove away this negative thought.
But when he regained his energy and wanted to make some adjustments to Bayern to strengthen their offense, the situation on the field changed again.
……
After Paulinho came on the field, he became the offensive and defensive hub of the team's midfield.
He has a great body and is full of energy as he has just been replaced. In addition, he is also smart in running positions. He can always run to a position where his teammates can easily pass the ball.
Kanter and Casemiro are more responsible for defensive tasks. After grabbing the ball, they will hand it over to Paulinho.
And Paulinho's handling method is also very simple.
He does not have the god-like direct pass penetration ability like De Bruyne, so he mostly passes the ball to the wings, allowing the two wingers to get the ball and then attack Bayern's defense.
Especially Wu Lei on the right.
He also came on as a substitute and kept using quick passes to make Alaba, who was defending on the wing, exhausted.
Of course, it's not just Alaba. Defenders including central defenders Boten and Dante are all a bit overwhelmed by the speed of Hamburg's front three.
After entering the 80th minute, this situation became more obvious, and the Bayern players' steps were as hard as lead.
In the 85th minute, Hamburg's attack was blocked. Bayern goalkeeper Tasker got the ball and kicked the ball, and the ball fell towards the center line.
Paulinho took advantage of the battle with Kroos, hit the ball, and pushed it to the right.
Carvajal stopped the ball forward, continued to advance with the ball, glanced ahead, and quickly sent a direct pass.
After Wu Lei got the ball, he tried to go down the right line, but Alaba was prepared and stayed close to him.
Wu Lei made an emergency stop to spike the ball and passed the ball back.
At this time, Paulinho had already ran over again and went to the right side to receive the pass.
Alaba quickly came to defend, but Paulinho did not stop the ball and passed the ball back to Wu Lei.
This is a two-on-one combination from the wing!
At this time, there are no defensive players around Wu Lei.
He made a slight adjustment, glanced ahead, bent the bow with his right foot and shot a half-high ball diagonally into the penalty area, sending the ball behind the defense.
In the middle of the penalty area, Vardy had already guessed his teammates' intentions when he saw Wu Lei stopping the ball to adjust.
He first retreated to the right to respond to the attack, took a feint shot, and attracted the attention of Boateng and Dante. Then he suddenly stopped in front of the penalty area, suddenly turned around, and sprinted forward. p>
This sudden change caught Bayern's two central defenders off guard, and Wu Lei's diagonal pass landed just right in the penalty area at this time.
Vardy did not forget to look at the flying cross when he was sprinting. Near the penalty spot, his whole body jumped high.
The ball hit the back of Vardy's head, turned in a direction, and fell to the left side of the goal.
Tusker's position was to the right. Facing Vardy's header, he flew out to save it, but he was still out of reach.
"The ball is scored again!
Enter again!
"Duan Xuan's voice immediately rang in the ears of all Dragon Kingdom fans.
"Paulinho's instigation, Wu Lei's assist and Vardy's goal!"
"The cooperation of the three people coach Pan Yi replaced in the second half created this goal! This is another wonderful substitution!"
"The score is now 3:0!"
"Oh my God, who would have thought before the game that Bayern Munich, once so powerful, would be three goals behind Hamburg!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"We saw that Hamburg's players had rushed to the bench and hugged the coaches tightly to celebrate."
"This is a young team, and it is also an extremely united team! Under the leadership of Pan Yi, they have made great progress!"
"If Hamburg seemed a little helpless when facing Bayern Munich in the away game last season, then tonight, it was Bayern who was helpless!"
"Guardiola's team couldn't even play a threatening offense in front of Hamburg tonight!..."
Amidst the deafening cheers from the fans at the People's Park Stadium, Pan Yi also excitedly celebrated the goal with everyone one by one.
This means that they have killed the game and completed their revenge against Bayern!
More importantly, victory in this game will greatly enhance the team's confidence, including Pan Yi's own confidence!
They defeated Bayern!
He is the last Bundesliga champion and the last Champions League champion!
So, what other opponents are worth fearing now?
……
Since the overall situation has been decided, both sides were a little relaxed during the stoppage time of the game.
As a result, Robben used his personal breakthrough and shot inside to get a goal back, but Hamburg scored a header from Van Dijk in the last corner kick before the end of the game.
In the end, Hamburg defeated Bayern 4:1!
This score allowed Hamburg to win this year's Super Cup championship and also set several records.
This is Hamburg’s first German Super Cup championship in its 126-year history!
Of course, part of the reason here is that the history of the German Super Cup is not too long, nor is it held too systematically.
In 1977, the first tournament was held between Borussia Monchengladbach and Hamburg, and Borussia Monchengladbach won the first German Super Cup.
Then several years passed.
In 1983, Bayern won the second German Super Cup by defeating Hamburg in a penalty shootout.
Yes, Hamburg participated in the previous two editions, but failed to win the championship.
Since then, the German Super Cup has been officially recognized, and it has repeatedly jumped between the League Cup and the Super Cup, but in short, Hamburg has not been able to get hold of this trophy.
This time, Hamburg finally made history!
At the same time, this is also the first championship Pan Yi has won since he coached independently!
Although it is only a Super Bowl, it is still commemorative.
This is also Bayern's worst loss in an official game in more than two years since losing 2:5 to Dortmund in 2011.
For Guardiola, it has broken a record that he is very proud of.
This is also the first time that Guardiola has conceded 4 goals in 207 games in more than four years since Barcelona lost 3-4 to Atletico Madrid on March 1, 2009!
Although he just thought that the Super Cup is not important, after losing so much in his first official game, Gua Shuai is still a little embarrassed about his face.
After the game, he even scolded the players and even inadvertently slapped his disciple Thiago in the face.
This scene was spread all over the world through broadcast footage, and was also ridiculed by fans as a slap in the face of the players.
However, Guardiola quickly returned to normal, especially when he shook hands with Pan Yi again.
He generously admitted his tactical mistakes in this game: "I still underestimated you too much. I am no match for you in the midfield battle."
Pan Yi smiled modestly: "You, as a goalkeeper, Noyin'er, didn't play, but it still had a great impact on the ball control in the backcourt. I took advantage."
Guardiola shrugged his shoulders: "Even if he is not injured, at most the ball will be better in the backcourt and will not affect the ball possession rate in the midfield. I just lost my temper with Thiago because he was in the backcourt today."
The defense in the midfield was too poor and failed to limit the performance of your trio."
Then, Guardiola continued to chat with Pan Yi about tactical issues.
"We talked about the advantages and disadvantages of 433 before the game, but I really didn't expect that you could come up with such a good solution! The full-backs move in? What a genius idea!"
Guardiola was full of praise, and then winked at Pan Yi slyly: "This tactic is really good, but it is mine now."
The inside full-back style of play requires high abilities from the full-back, but Guardiola still has great confidence in Alaba and Lahm.
He felt that he could also learn from Pan Yi's style of play to make up for the shortcomings of his own formation.
Pan Yi laughed and said: "You can take it, you're welcome."
There is no so-called plagiarism or non-plagiarism in the tactical formation itself, only whether it is suitable or not.
There is no absolutely awesome tactic, it just depends on how the coach tailors the best play style for the players of his team.
No two teams have exactly the same players.
Just like when Barcelona or Spain were the invincible opponents in the world, would it be useful if you copied their formation style?
There are not many teams that can play that kind of passing and control. Do you know that they don’t have the ability?
If you really stick to it, your death will be ugly.
Of course, Pan Yi knows that once Guardiola decides which formation to "copy", he must have his own ideas.
The same is true even for Klopp.
Both of them were die-hard fans of the 4-3-3 formation in the Premier League era, but in actual implementation they had two completely different styles.
The only similarity is that both 433s can bring out the abilities of the team players, both are very strong and can win!
As for Pan Yi, anyway, today's style of play was originally taken from Gua Shuai, and now it is "returned" to him, which is considered a matter of course.
Take something from melons, use them with melons, and the timeline completes a perfect closed loop.
"I'm just afraid that my players' execution ability is not as good as yours." Guardiola suddenly sighed, "Sometimes I feel that it is difficult for my tactical ideas to be fully conveyed to their heads."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"You keep working hard, how can they keep up with your ideas?" Pan Yi blurted out.
"Whole job?"
"Uh... it's just that you need more patience. The tactics you want are always more complicated and it takes time to understand, doesn't it?"
"Okay." Guardiola nodded, "Maybe I often forget that I just came to Bayern, instead of staying with those players for many years like I did in Barcelona."
Actually there is one more thing.
Guardiola has been a member of Barcelona's youth training system since he was a child. He has experienced Barcelona's teams of all ages: from the youth team to the second team, and finally entered the first team.
The same is true for this generation of young Barcelona talents represented by Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi.
They have the same origin in the entire tactical system created by Kruyinf, and they will naturally be familiar with and use this set of play that focuses on passing and controlling.
And now that Guardiola has come to Germany, a football country that has focused more on strength and confrontation in the past, it will definitely take a certain amount of time to implement his ideal style of play.
"But your players are still very good." Guardiola said again, "Let's just talk about an attack in the first half."
"When your attack on the right was surrounded by us, De Bruyne in the midfield looked up and realized that we had a limited number of people on the other side to defend. Then he immediately chose a long pass and found the lifter.
Kante wants the ball in his hand."
"The position of Kanter and Son Xingmin at this time is exactly the weak side of our defense, because at this time our defensive focus was on the left side a second ago, and it takes time to transfer the defensive power to the right side. And your players are very close
We observed this in a short period of time, and then made good use of the width of the court and effectively mobilized our defense."
"This transfer resulted in Son Xingmin's breakthrough and a threatening shot. To be honest, few teams in Europe can achieve this kind of overall coordination and transfer of consciousness. Of course, this also includes passing the ball.
De Bruyne, he is such a good player."
Pan Yi touched his nose.
Am I going to tell you that De Bruyne, who you praise so much, is actually your future favorite?
At this time, the stadium staff came over to remind that the Super Cup award ceremony was about to begin, which interrupted the long conversation between the two coaches.
The two also smiled, shook hands again, and then separated.
While watching the Hamburg players and coaches holding the Super Cup trophy high from a distance, Guardiola was also thoughtful.
In fact, to a certain extent, this fiasco may not be a bad thing for him.
Losing the Super Cup, especially after losing by three goals, is a blow to Guardiola, but it is not the end of the world.
This is his first official game after taking over Bayern. After encountering such a defeat, he can see more clearly the problems Bayern faces, and at the same time he can make targeted adjustments to the team.
At the same time, he did see the true strength of Hamburg and the power of Pan Yi's new tactics.
"This team will indeed be Bayern's biggest opponent this season. I have to study how to deal with them!" Guardiola finally thought.
