The next day, all Hamburg players returned to the training center.
The first-team players were divided into two groups. The first group failed to make the squad for the away game against Milan, so they continued regular training;
The other group played at the San Siro Stadium last night and started recovery training under the leadership of Pintus.
This is very important.
Correct and timely recovery training can well stimulate the player's body and speed up recovery, so it has huge benefits for maintaining the player's condition and improving his ability.
Especially this season, when Hamburg is fighting on the third front and often facing a high-intensity schedule, it is particularly important.
On September 21, that is, two days later, Hamburg will face the challenge of Werder Bremen in the sixth round of the Bundesliga.
Pan Yi wants the players to recover as soon as possible, and then select a suitable roster and lineup based on the players' physical condition.
Now that Pan Yi has so many strong players, he is indeed much more comfortable in arranging his troops, but it is not like playing FM games, with two completely different lineups taking turns to play.
It still depends on the status of the players and the matching of personnel under the premise of meeting the tactical configuration requirements.
Let’s talk about state, which includes competitive state and physical state.
Some players get tired immediately after playing two games in a week, but others are just like normal people.
Take Barcelona veteran Pedri as an example. When he was 18 years old, he played 74 games as a main player in a year, averaging one game every four or five days.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really useful. Download it here.yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
Considering that many matches are played once a week, you can know how many of them are high-intensity double matches a week.
In the game, this is a proper "Physique 20".
And in the current Hamburg formation, there are actually people like this.
For example, Paulinho, in Pan Yi's previous life, played more than a hundred games in a row for a year and a half when he was with Hengtai and Barcelona around 2018!
It can be said that he is an absolute iron man.
Therefore, the rotation must be based on the actual recovery situation. This is the importance of having advanced instruments and scientific data.
It would be too simple and unscientific if we just changed all the personnel in every game.
There is no way to guarantee the competitive status of the participants, and it may also lead to a situation where some people are not full and others are overwhelmed.
In addition to recovering his physical fitness, Pan Yi still attaches great importance to the post-game summary and analysis meeting as always.
Even in a three-goal victory over Milan, Hamburg's coaching staff and players still have to meet together to summarize and analyze.
This is a way to quickly improve players' abilities.
If you ask a fan, how to make a young player grow up quickly? The answer must be to let him play more games.
But the problem is, if he just plays games and plays many, many games without summarizing the gains and losses in each game, and no one helps him correct his mistakes in the game, then he may take a lot of detours.<
/p>
And if every game a player plays, a report will be formed after the game, pointing out the mistakes the players made in the game, how to avoid such mistakes, and putting these out for everyone to discuss, wouldn't that be true?
Will it have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort?
It is no exaggeration to say that the players who played hard with their eyes closed may not have made as much progress in 50 games as the players who have improved through scientific analysis after playing 100 games - unless you are the kind of talented player with super understanding.
But that’s one of a kind.
It's a bit like a student exam.
After you finish the exam, your score will come down. It may be 80 points or 90 points.
But after the test is over, the test is over. If you didn’t even look at the wrong questions, the chance of making a mistake again next time is still very high.
And if the teacher analyzes the wrong questions with the students after grading the paper, and then corrects them, then he will be less likely to make mistakes next time he encounters such a question.
Therefore, the coaching staff headed by Pan Yi is the "teacher". After each game, they will carefully grade all students' test papers, and then discuss with the students, and finally improve the students' problem-solving abilities.
.
This is why many players in Hamburg give people a new look every once in a while.
The players have improved!
The ability value has increased from 150 to 160, which means another world-class star has been born!
Of course, the players agree and support Pan Yi's approach.
Live and learn, even if it is a big victory in the game, everyone's performance cannot be flawless, so there is always nothing wrong with striving for excellence, and it is better to make more progress!
For example, in the second half of the Milan game, when the opponent Mane retreated to get the ball and broke through, the Hamburg players did not react in time to restrict him, especially the midfielder.
This resulted in Mane creating space on several occasions, causing some trouble for Hamburg's defense; it also led to Salah having to often recover to defend Mane, which invisibly weakened Hamburg's wing attack.
Threat.
If Allegri hadn't replaced Mane in a very considerate manner, Salah might still have been restrained, and the third goal might not have come.
In response to this point, De Bruyne and Paulinho mentioned this in their post-match analysis reports.
As a midfielder, you must always pay attention to the opponent's players who are retreating from the front line to receive the ball. You must assist your wingers to defend, so as to avoid the opponent's frequent one-on-one situations and nip the danger in the cradle.
in.
This is a detailed analysis of each responsibility and problem of each person.
This is an important reason why Hamburg is getting stronger and stronger this season!
……
It’s afternoon.
There is news from Milan about Allegri.
He...
get out of class is not over!
Milan club director Galliani expressed his support for the head coach in an interview with reporters, saying that he will continue to believe that Allegri can bring the team out of the trough and get back on the right track.
This news is actually quite surprising.
Judging from the angry atmosphere expressed by Milan fans last night, it feels like Allegri's dismissal is inevitable, and it has reached the point where it is not enough for the public to be angry if he does not dismiss the get out of class.
However, "Gazzetta dello Sport" also pointed out that it may be the current economic dilemma of the Milan club that forced Galliani to make such a compromise.
After all, firing a head coach requires a large termination fee!
It is said that there is a clause in Allegri's contract that will not take effect until this year's winter break. At that time, you can terminate the contract without paying additional termination fees.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Allegre was given a chance to live longer.
"Corriere dello Sport" said that in addition to economic reasons, perhaps the Milan club's senior management has no hope for the Champions League results this season. Therefore, losing a group match is not the end of the world.
In Serie A, which they regard as their basic base, Milan has one win, one draw and one loss after three rounds, which is indeed not great, but it is not completely bad either.
After all, it’s only three rounds.
Last season, Milan started with two consecutive losses, but didn't it slowly recover in the end and squeeze into the Champions League group stage this season?
So it is reasonable for Galliani to decide to give Allegri another chance.
"Turin Sports" mentioned the follow-up issues if Allegri is fired.
Now that the league has just started, most of the famous and capable coaches have their own plans.
Now that Allegri is fired, where can you find a head coach who can take over this position immediately and has the ability to produce results?
Only Pan Yi is the most ideal candidate, but it seems that this option is impossible at present, otherwise Galliani would have taken action long ago.
And if it is halfway through the season, close to the winter break, there may be some changes in coaching positions, and it will be easier for Milan to find a new coach.
There are also rumors that Galliani is already contacting some Milan celebrities.
The names here include Seedorf, Gattuso, etc., as well as Inzaghi in Hamburg.
These people have just started coaching (Seedorf has not even officially retired yet) and have no independent coaching experience, but Galliani believes that they have Milan’s DNA and can integrate into the team faster and play out of Milan.
Football that everyone likes.
What prevents them from immediately joining Milan is their coaching qualifications.
So this takes some time, so Alegri is given more time.
……
In the head coach's office, Inzaghi did not leave immediately after reporting today's work to Pan Yi, but sat down.
"What, is something wrong?" Pan Yi raised his head and looked at Inzaghi.
"I want to spend more time taking the professional coaching certificate." Inzaghi's expression was a little serious, "Because it may slightly affect some daily work, so I have to report it to you."
Pan Yi laughed.
In Inzaghi's career, it can be said that he is an out-and-out genius.
In the absence of absolute strength, height and speed and other physical indicators, even his dribbling, passing and other technical indicators are very average, but Pippo relies on his keen insight and astute movement to become a leader in world football.
He has won a place in the forum.
This also means that whenever similar players appear in the future, they will be called "Inzaghi-type strikers" - although such players are already rare.
This also shows that he is a player who really relies on his brain to play football.
In theory, such a player will not have any big problems as a head coach and will achieve good success.
However, Inzaghi does not seem to have the talent to be a problem solver. He always falls a little short in the theoretical examinations of coaching courses, resulting in his failure to obtain the highest level coaching certificate certified by UEFA.
Originally, he was not very anxious about this. Anyway, he is now an assistant coach under Pan Yi, and an A-level certificate is enough.
But today I came to Pan Yi specifically to talk about seizing the time to get the certificate, so I must have other ideas.
Of course Pan Yi could guess what the specific idea was.
"Is it because of Milan?" Pan Yi got straight to the point, "I have told you and Nagelsmann before that when you one day feel that you can coach a team independently, I will never stop you.
”
Pan Yi said this, which is equivalent to agreeing to Inzaghi's request.
In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, Inzaghi really took over the coaching staff of AC Milan after Seedorf.
But it is a pity that after Allegri dismissed class, Milan fell into the cycle of "cheating famous players". After cheating Seedorf and cheating Inzaghi, they later cheated Brocchi and Gattuso...
It was not until the Pioli era that it gradually regained its original strength.
It’s just that this life may be different.
At that time, Inzaghi started to become the coach of Milan's first team almost after retiring as the head coach of the youth team for two years. His coaching experience, especially the experience at the five major league levels, was too shallow.
And now Inzaghi learned a lot from Pan Yi when he was a player, and now he has worked with Hamburg for more than a year. Both his tactical knowledge and his experience in motivating players mentally have improved a lot. p>
So Pan Yi still has confidence in Inzaghi, and even has expectations.
That is, since the current Milan cannot meet Pan Yi's needs, it is difficult for Pan Yi to return to Milan to coach;
But if he can let his "disciple" Inzaghi return to Milan on his behalf to save this team that is gradually falling into quagmire, it can be regarded as a curve to save the country.
"Do you think I can succeed in Milan?" Inzaghi was not surprised that Pan Yi agreed to his request so readily, because he knew Pan Yi.
Although the relationship is nominally superior and subordinate, Pan Yi has always treated them like friends, and friends will not stop him from accepting greater challenges.
But Inzaghi is still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, he does not have real first-team coaching experience.
Pan Yi looked at him with confidence, which made Inzaghi ask this question out of curiosity.
"You are so smart, as long as you can put yourself in the players' shoes more, you will definitely succeed!" Pan Yi concluded first.
Then he discussed the analysis process of this conclusion with Inzaghi.
For a star of Inzaghi's level, his understanding of football, his tactical literacy, and even his ability to train players are basically not a big problem.
The most important thing is to see whether he can look at the problem from the perspective of an ordinary player and not ask players to do things beyond their capabilities.
This also includes changing some of his habits as a player based on the latest tactical ideas to avoid bringing some bad habits to the team he leads.
Professional players have inherent advantages as coaches, but if these two issues are not properly handled, it will be a disadvantage.
Positive examples are Guardiola and Ancelotti, people who have achieved success both as players and as coaches. They can also quickly sort out their thoughts and ideas after the identity change, and finally let the players on the court.
Implement the tactics they thought up.
Negative examples are Maradona, Van Basten and others. They are all legendary stars in the history of football. It can be said that their understanding of football is deeper than most people, but because they cannot mentally transfer to the perspective of ordinary players
, unable to adjust his role changes in time, and do not know how to teach others to play football.
Pan Yi talked to Inzaghi about this, hoping that when he can coach independently in the future, he will think more about this issue and enter the work as a more pure coach.
Of course, at the end of the conversation, Pan Yi gave Inzaghi a knife:
"Uh... are you confident that you can get the certificate now? The coaching qualification certificate is difficult to get through advanced mathematics!"
……
While Hamburg defeated AC Milan 3:0 in an away game, another pair of opponents in the Champions League Group H also played a game.
Barcelona showed its strong strength at home and defeated Ajax 4:0.
In this game, top star Messi scored a hat trick, and Brazilian youngster Neymar, who just joined Barcelona this summer, also performed well and provided assists for Messi.
So after the first round of Group H, Barcelona ranked first in the group with a goal difference advantage, while Hamburg ranked second.
And this situation also makes the "super death group" that was hyped by the media before the game seem a bit unworthy of its name.
Mainly due to AC Milan's performance at San Siro, it always makes people feel that it is difficult for them to advance to the knockout rounds.
So now everyone thinks that the two teams that are most likely to qualify in this group are Barcelona and Hamburg, two teams that performed well in the first round. It just depends on who can qualify as the first in the group.
As for the Barcelona game, Pan Yi did not organize everyone to watch it together.
After all, the second round of the Champions League is on October 3, and before that, Hamburg will have two Bundesliga games and a German Cup game. Pan Yi must deal with these games first before he has time to think about it.
Barcelona.
Although Pan Yi himself, including the coaching staff, Pintus and others have made relatively thorough preparations, such an intensive schedule will still be a great test for Hamburg.
Fortunately, this Bundesliga game after returning from Milan is a home game, so Hamburg does not have to travel around the European continent.
On September 21st, Hamburg faced Werder Bremen at the People's Park Stadium.
At this time, Bremen's head coach is no longer Schaaf.
After the end of last season, Bremen ranked only 14th in the Bundesliga.
This result, which was only 3 points above the relegation zone, obviously did not satisfy the Bremen executives and fans. Therefore, Thomas Schaff, who had been coaching Bremen for 14 years, dismissed get out of class and was replaced by Robin Dutt.
This coach, who has coached Hannover 96, Freiburg, Leverkusen and other Bundesliga teams, does not like offensive football like Schaff.
When facing the menacing Hamburg, he pragmatically chose to play defensive counterattack.
Although Dutt put up a 4231 formation, the two defensive midfielders were very close to his own defense line, while the active area of the attacking midfielder Hongt was closer to the position of a central midfielder.
What he did was to tighten the defense and rely on forward Peterson in front to fight Hamburg's counterattack while staying on the defensive side.
This really worked.
The game continued until the 70th minute of the second half, and the score on the scoreboard still showed 0:0.
In this game, Pan Yi gave most of the players who played in the game against Milan a rest, especially Rudiger, De Bruyne, and Carvajal who played in consecutive games.
On the forward line, the trident composed of Vardy, Wu Lei, and Lin Zhijian theoretically has a certain impact, but it does lack methods in the face of Bremen's tight fence.
The main reason is that there is not much room for sprinting, making it difficult for these speedy players to perform.
In the midfield, the combination of Kante, Makoto Hasebe and Paulinho actually played well and firmly controlled the game situation.
But perhaps due to the impact of traveling back and forth in the middle of the week, Paulinho didn't seem very excited and was not very enthusiastic about going forward, resulting in a little less support for the offense.
So at 75 minutes, Pan Yi directly performed a two-person substitution operation.
Mitrovic and Calhanoglu came on, replacing Vardy and Paulinho.
The replacement for Mitrovic is very simple at present, just use his siege hammer characteristics to smash Bremen to death with a hammer.
The purpose of replacing Calhanoglu is to see if he can use the advantage of pressing the opponent to create more free kick opportunities, and let the king of Calhanoglu use his free kick skills to get one.
Moreover, long-range shots are also one of the tricks to break dense defenses, and Chalhanoglu also happens to have the ability to shoot explosively.
With a header and a long shot, Pan Yi used both of his magic weapons, and also let these two players bring his latest tactical ideas to the players on the field.
Then, the strong execution ability of Hamburg players was immediately revealed.
The two wingers Wu Lei and Lin Zhijian began to change sides and made passes with their smooth feet.
The tactic of two full-backs covering the sides, switching positions with the wingers, and then passing the ball was also very resolute.
In the middle, whether it's Kanter, Makoto Hasebe, or Calhanoglu, who just came on the field, they will shoot when they find an opportunity and do not try to penetrate Bremen's defense through short passes.
Such a sudden change made Bremen's defense a little confused.
Since they have lost control of the midfield, they are unable to stop the constant crosses from both sides of Hamburg. They can only accumulate troops in the middle to fight for landing points and clear the ball out of the danger zone.
But Mitrovic, who just came on the field, played a fulcrum role. He used his strong body to build a wall in the frontcourt, allowing the "gunners" hiding behind the wall to fire as much as they wanted.
In the 82nd minute, when Mitrovic received a pass from his teammate in front of the top of the penalty area, the Bremen defender Lukimya behind him was stuck and could not touch the ball. In desperation, he swept out Mitrovic with one leg.
Stumble.
Hamburg received an excellent free kick opportunity.
At this time, Kanter walked to the ball and seemed to be taking the free kick.
But he just flicked the ball horizontally.
At this time, everyone saw Calhanoglu, who had just come on as a substitute, rush up from the backcourt and shoot angrily!
The ball hit a steady and hard straight line without any spin at all, and went directly into the Bremen goal!
Kante's move allowed Calhanoglu's shot to avoid Bremen's wall, allowing Calhanoglu to fully demonstrate his explosive shooting skills.
Obviously, this is also a routine often used in training.
Facing such a super-fast shot, Bremen goalkeeper Militz could only be described as stunned.
In the last ten minutes, Bremen, who was lagging behind, made continuous substitutions in an attempt to regain the score.
But Hamburg played steadily, and in the end neither side was able to score again.
With Calhanoglu's goal, Hamburg defeated Werder Bremen 1:0 and took all three points without any danger!
