Chapter 234 The game with the most losses in history
"..."
Looking at the Hamburg players celebrating in front of the Hamburg fans' stands on the court, Valabek felt a little speechless.
The game lasted less than a minute, and my team was already lagging behind.
No, not a minute, not even thirty or twenty seconds!
As soon as the ball from St. Pauli was passed into the backcourt, the moment defender Gunter took the ball, Hamburg's three forwards Wu Lei, Mitrovic and Sun Xingmin rushed towards him.
This momentum frightened Gunter and he quickly passed the ball to the goalkeeper. However, his effort was too weak and the ball was intercepted by Wu Lei while it was still rolling. He then took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball, giving Hamburg the lead in the away game. At that moment, what Varabek was thinking was: "Did this goal break the record for the fastest opening goal in the history of the German Cup?"
He knows that the Bundesliga's fastest goal record was set by Leverkusen's 36-year-old veteran Ulf Kirsten in the 2001-2002 season between Kaiserslautern and Leverkusen. p>
Only 11 seconds into the game, Kirsten succeeded in shooting.
The record for the fastest goal in the German Cup may not be that fast, but Hamburg’s goal took about ten seconds, right?
"Oh, why am I thinking about this?"
Valabek soon began to feel troubled by the situation he faced.
This burger is indeed ranked first in the Bundesliga!
After the opening scene, the pace was simply too fast!
Let alone the Bundesliga 2, I’m afraid there aren’t many teams that play better than them in the Bundesliga, or even in the whole of Europe, right?
His St. Pauli simply couldn't adapt to the pressing attack at this speed, so he made mistakes when he was nervous.
As the game continued, Wallabek discovered that Hamburg's fast pace did not even affect their passing and cutting cooperation at all.
Under normal circumstances, the faster you play, the easier it is for your own coordination to make mistakes. This is common sense.
However, Hamburg's players have good personal skills. In addition, they can run and have many routes for passing the ball. They can pass, receive and penetrate quickly, and the success rate is also high.
Therefore, Hamburg played very smoothly while maintaining high-speed advancement and high-intensity pressing.
It is difficult for St. Pauli to mount an effective counterattack.
Because as soon as they grab the ball, the nearest Hamburg player, no matter who it is, including Mitrovic who is at the front, will immediately launch a counterattack.
Varabek has a feeling that because the technical level of the St. Pauli players is not as good as that of their opponents, and under such intense pressure from their opponents, let alone the possession of the ball, they cannot even control their own rhythm of the game.
They can only passively respond to the opponent's attacks one after another, just like the involuntary boat in the vast ocean.
The game on the field has been going on for almost ten minutes, and St. Pauli has not even had a decent attack.
This even made Wallabek feel a little regretful.
"Did you scold Hamburg too harshly when building momentum before the game?"
"In the first round they played Karlsruhe, they played all substitutes, but today they played almost all the main players. This is obviously to kill me!"
"It's over now. In fact, even if we lose to Hamburg today, it doesn't matter, but if we lose too much, then..."
Indeed.
Today’s Hamburg lineup is like this:
Forwards: Wu Lei, Mitrovic, Sun Xingmin.
Midfielder: De Bruyne, Casemiro, Kante.
Defenders: Robertson, Westerman, Van Dijk, Carvajal.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Indeed, they are basically all main players.
But in fact, apart from Pan Yi really wanting to beat up the opponent in the Hamburg derby to vent his anger on the Hamburg fans, there is another reason - coincidence.
After today's German Cup is over, the Bundesliga will play Frankfurt four days later, and the Champions League will play Barcelona four days after that.
Pan Yi's goal is to play with the best lineup and in the best condition when playing Barcelona in the Champions League. Then, when playing Frankfurt, more rotations will be required.
Going back further, in today's game against St. Pauli, Pan Yi will have to use more main players to maintain the game.
Therefore, Pan Yi lets these players play hard in the game, which can not only have a good time in the derby game that fans value most, but also boost morale for the Champions League group stage more than a week later. Why not?<
/p>
So Wallabek can only admit that he is unlucky.
But having said that, who said Hamburg can’t beat people with its substitute lineup?
Just ask Karlsruhe, who suffered a 0:5 defeat in the first round of the German Cup...
No, we must not be embarrassed like Karlsruhe!
Today is the Hamburg Derby, which may be the most important game of the year for St. Pauli fans. If we lose that much, I may really be fired!
So Wallabek secretly made a decision.
That's just winning or whatever, no matter what.
I don’t care if I blow my pussy or get slapped in the face.
Now he just wants to lose as few games as possible.
As long as he doesn't lose too much, he can say anything, and he has an explanation for the St. Pauli fans!
Jobs are the most important thing!
……
Seeing the home team standing in the coaching area with Varabek anxiously at a loss, Pan Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.
Don’t you love to talk? Why don’t you talk now?
Using actual actions to slap someone in the face is definitely more enjoyable and more fulfilling than using words to fight back.
However, this is just the beginning.
Hamburg only scored one goal!
However, it seems now that Hamburg's second ball cannot arrive as quickly as the first ball.
After these ten minutes, although St. Pauli still could not organize a decent attack, they gradually adapted to Hamburg's siege rhythm, and the defense was still very well organized.
St. Pauli has been in the lower leagues in the past few years, and even in the Bundesliga it was a weak team, so playing good defense is engraved in their DNA.
At this time, Varabek seems to have changed the formation to 4141, which allows more people to be put into defense.
If they want to continue to break through St. Pauli's defense, Hamburg's offensive players must work harder.
Of course, Pan Yi is not in a hurry.
What he should say has already been told to the players before the game, and he believes that everyone knows it well.
At this time, players need to combine the current actual situation on the field, and then choose the best plan to implement based on tactical arrangements, their own characteristics, and cooperation with teammates.
This process requires the use of brains, and the process of processing is also a process of self-improvement for the players.
In this way, you can improve in every game! Even if you play against a weak team!
……
There is a bit of a stalemate on the court now.
Hamburg controlled the scene and rhythm and formed an overwhelming advantage over St. Pauli. However, because St. Pauli organized a very tight defense line and even gave up the personnel and speed to counterattack for this line of defense, Hamburg was threatened.
There are not many offenses, and they have not been able to score goals.
It can be said that St. Pauli's tactics are like a turtle, or a bus.
They put their bodies in front of the door, then put their heads in, and let you beat them until you were tired or unable to hit you anymore.
In this way, the Hamburg players' forward space is squeezed to very little.
Even if the midfielder can pass the ball into the penalty area, he will encounter a situation where his legs are everywhere and then be destroyed by the St. Pauli players.
When Hamburg kicked the ball high, St. Pauli's two central defenders Solant and Gunter were both tall and powerful, and they were able to prevent Mitrovic from heading the ball a few times.
This made Hamburg's offensive players feel a little annoyed for a while.
Especially center Mitrovic.
He was also thinking about how he should change his fighting style in this situation?
Even if you can't get the ball to shoot, you still have to work hard to help your teammates create space for attack.
This is something Pan Yi always told him to think about before the game, and it is also the basis for him to gain the trust of Pan Yi and his teammates.
He also recalled a video of a player's game that Pan Yi showed him before the game.
That's the young Brazilian forward Firmino who currently plays for Hoffenheim.
"He is a player whose height and weight are not as good as yours, but he can still be the fulcrum of the team."
"At the same time, he is a player who has the attributes of both the 9th and 10th positions. I hope you can be like him."
"You can not only fight for the top in the middle like a traditional center, but also directly enter the penalty area and attack the city yourself."
"When you can't find an opportunity in front of the penalty area, you have to retreat more to get the ball and create opportunities for your teammates; or use smarter running without the ball to open up space for your teammates."
Pan Yi's words kept echoing in Mitrovic's ears. When he recalled the scenes he saw in the video and looked at the situation on the court, he seemed to understand something.
At this time, Carvajal on the right had already passed the ball in his direction.
Just like before, St. Pauli's Solant and Gunter immediately crowded over and prepared to defend the ball.
But this time, Mitrovic did not stand still and wait for the ball.
He ran back a few steps in long strides and caught the ball in the direction of the ball.
The two central defenders of St. Pauli were stunned for a moment, and then immediately chased after them.
This is the order they received from their head coach, which is to keep an eye on Hamburg’s powerful center!
In this way, they can always stand between Mitrovic and the goal. Coupled with the goalkeeper who is waiting behind him, St. Pauli's defense can be said to be impregnable.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really useful. Download it here. yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
But this time, they were fooled.
The moment Mitrovic received the ball, the Serbian saw that Son Xingmin had rushed into the penalty area immediately.
And there, Solant and Gunther, who were supposed to be defensive, had already left their defensive positions because they were keeping a close eye on Mitrovic.
Therefore, Mitrovic immediately put his body against the two central defenders of St. Pauli, pressing them down to prevent them from stretching out their feet to damage.
Then, Mitrovic used the arch of his foot to gently push the ball forward.
"Let's go!" Mitrovic shouted loudly.
At the same time as he shouted, Sun Xingmin also suddenly accelerated, shook off the full-back defense on the wing, and rushed straight to the left corner of the small penalty area, barely catching up with Mitrovic's pass.
A kick.
This is Son Xingmin’s keen sense as a forward, and it is also the tacit understanding between teammates.
After Sun Xingmin caught up, he met Mitrovic's pass without thinking, and suddenly shot with his right foot. The ball was like a bolt of lightning, and quickly penetrated into the near corner of the St. Pauli goal in a straight line. p>
St. Pauli goalkeeper Jonah only had time to subconsciously raise his right hand, and the ball had already entered the net.
Hamburg fans once again occupied the Miller Gate Stadium, and their cheers were in sharp contrast to the silence of the St. Pauli fans.
……
"This guy is getting better and better at football." Pan Yi nodded happily.
Although Son Heung-min scored this goal, Mitrovic's retracement and ball play were the key to the goal.
He used his running position and body to forcefully create some gaps in the defense.
After he attracted the opponent's two central defenders to defend him, Sun Xingmin's shooting path can be said to be unimpeded.
"The recent training has been somewhat effective, and he has begun to no longer be a traditional center." Inzaghi also laughed at the side.
As a coach with a forward background, Inzaghi is mainly responsible for the forward training of the team. Of course, he also knows that Mitrovic has made great progress.
"It's really good. This is equivalent to another magic weapon for us when dealing with intensive defensive teams." Pan Yi praised again.
"Ahem, you haven't told us yet where you got these magic weapons..." Nagelsmann also said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Uh... Come on! Mitrovic, remember the feeling just now and keep playing like this!" Pan Yi ignored Nagelsmann and shouted to the players on the court,
"Remember, a center does not necessarily have to score goals himself. A center who can create space and opportunities for his teammates is a good center!"
"Also, keep working hard! Don't be satisfied with the status quo. We only have two goals now! Don't forget what I told you!"
"Keep scoring goals! I want more goals!"
The players on the court, not just Mitrovic, all nodded to show that they had received the coach's words.
Everyone cheered up and continued to participate in the competition!
……
When Valabek heard Pan Yi's words in the home team's command area, his legs almost gave out and he fell to the ground.
Only two goals?
But this game has only lasted 20 minutes!
Do you still want to live?
But looking at the excited expressions of Pan Yi and his players, they really want to make a big fuss!
It’s really over now. There really aren’t any human accidents in the Hamburg Derby!
No favors, all accidents!
And all of this must have a lot to do with his talkative talk before the game.
The hatred has gone too far!
But there is no way now. You can't stretch your neck and let the other party chop you, right?
Varabek can only wave and wave again, asking the players to continue to defend firmly and stop losing the ball!
But soon, the Miller Gate Stadium burst into boos.
St. Pauli fans quickly saw that now Wallabek just wants to defend and concede fewer goals, and does not want to score even one goal in Hamburg!
This is completely different from what Varabek boasted before the game!
This will certainly make them dissatisfied with St. Pauli's current performance.
Think about it, fans who can use skulls and crossbones as their logo are very radical people. How can they tolerate such spineless things?
Of course they were not happy to see their team falling behind, but the cowardly posture the team put on after falling behind made them even more unhappy!
As a result, Wallabek became even more confused.
If he attacks, his flaws will definitely be bigger and he may concede more goals, which will make St. Pauli fans unhappy;
If he defends, the boos from the St. Pauli fans will already express their displeasure.
If you stretch your head with a knife, it’s also a knife with your head!
But before Wallabek could think about whether his turtle should extend its head or retract its head, the score on the field was rewritten again.
Only five or six minutes had passed since the last goal. The Hamburg midfielder stole the ball and then quickly passed it to the left wing.
Wu Lei quickly moved forward, received the ball, and moved forward.
Mitrovic in the middle took advantage of the situation and advanced towards the middle.
Wu Lei did not dribble the ball directly to the baseline, but quickly cut in diagonally because the defensive players on this route had once again been attracted by Mitrovic.
At this time, Wu Lei glanced at the goal, and before the opponent's defender could get close to him again, he fired a volley with his right foot.
However, the ball was hit at a slightly positive angle and was pounced by St. Pauli goalkeeper Jonah, landing in front of the small penalty area.
At this time, Mitrovic appeared here!
He used his body to hold Gunter behind him, and after the ball fell, he turned 180 degrees and volleyed!
This shot hit Gunter's calf, and the ball changed direction obviously and went straight to the back of the goal.
And goalkeeper Jonah, who was guarding the near corner, could only watch helplessly as the ball entered the net.
"The ball has been scored again! The score is now 0:3, Hamburg leads by three goals!"
"Mitrovic, a young center from Serbia, scored a goal with a supplementary shot, so Hamburg's front three all scored today!"
"The next two goals were related to Mitrovic. He showed his impact as a fulcrum center, and also showed good ability to retreat and pass the ball. I believe that in time, he will become a
A true Vieri-style super striker!..."
0:3, this is also the score at the end of the half.
In the second half of the first half, St. Pauli goalkeeper Jonah was like a god, saving several shots that Hamburg was bound to score, otherwise the score would definitely change again.
In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, the trend of the game basically continued the situation of the first half.
Hamburg continued to press and press from a high position, and even the players' running was not much worse than in the first half, which put huge pressure on St. Pauli's defense.
But Valabek made two adjustments to the lineup at this time.
He replaced defensive midfielder Klinger with attacking midfielder Gregorich, replaced midfielder Boll with forward Tiyin, and then changed the formation to 442, and it was also a diamond midfielder.
Position.
In the end, he failed to withstand the pressure of the increasingly loud boos at the Miller Gate and made the decision to strengthen his attack.
But in this way, it plays into Hamburger's hands.
I’m afraid you won’t attack!
Seeing St. Pauli's adjustment, Pan Yi even replaced Mitrovic with Vardy, and replaced Sun Xingmin with Salah to maintain the pressure in the frontcourt.
Everyone knows that these two forwards are Hamburg’s most powerful offensive players!
Wallabek was a little panicked.
However, with the ball being played at this point, does he still have any choice?
……
There is no team in this world that can maintain an unbreakable defense while actively pressing forward to attack.
Real Madrid is like this, Bayern is like this, and St. Pauli is like this, a weak team that cares about the head and tail, even more so.
They are now trying to find a breakthrough from Hamburg's wing, especially the space behind Carvajal on the right after he assists.
But in Hamburg's current offensive system, when Carvajal steps forward, whether it is left back Robertson's inward movement, central midfielder De Bruyne, or midfielder Casemiro's right side, they can make up for this.
Empty.
Especially when the opponent's pressure is not strong and there is a gap in personal skills, this kind of space is almost fleeting, and St. Pauli simply cannot seize the opportunity.
But St. Pauli's lack of defense personnel is real.
Their original way of arranging buses couldn't withstand Hamburg's attack, let alone now they have more manpower to attack?
Suddenly it was full of holes.
Hamburg's attack after a midfield interception, Wu Lei, Vardy, and Salah fired three arrows in unison and sprinted towards the St. Pauli goal.
After observing, De Bruyne chose Salah, who had the fewest defensive players nearby, to pass the ball.
After Salah got the ball, he sprinted all the way and cut into the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area.
The opposing defender Gunter made a decisive move and fell to the ground to make a tackle.
But Salah gently lifted the ball past the defense, and then passed the ball low with his right foot to the small penalty area before another central defender arrived.
Almost at the same time, Vardy, who was chasing after him, blocked the St. Pauli defender with his body and fell to the ground first to tackle.
The ball goes in and everyone goes in!
The ball flew into the net with Vardy.
The referee's whistle that the goal was valid suddenly sounded!
0:4!
……
Amid the joyous singing and dancing of the Hamburg fans, Pan Yi made another substitution.
This time, center back Westerman was replaced and replaced by midfielder Calhanoglu!
This time everyone was stunned.
"What does Pan Yi want to do?" the commentator repeatedly exclaimed, "Does he still plan to continue attacking?"
After Calhanoglu came on the field, he stood at the left midfielder position, while De Bruyne occupied the right side.
Kanter and Casemiro formed a double defensive midfielder, and Carvajal and Robertson also moved closer to the center.
At this time, Hamburg's formation has become a theoretical 343.
But this is even more aggressive than the traditional 343!
Because of the normal 343, the defense line is composed of three central defenders. During the attack, it is mainly completed by 4 midfielders and 3 frontcourt players.
But Pan Yi's 343, except for the center back Van Dijk, actually has 9 offensive players!
It can even be called a 163 formation.
Doing so is definitely a signal to further expand the results.
"This is too cruel!" Everyone in the stadium thought so, even the Hamburg fans.
When everyone thought that scoring four goals was great and enough to be proud of in the Hamburg Derby, Pan Yi wanted to score more goals.
The most panicked person at this time was St. Pauli's head coach Varabek.
He has traveled all over the professional football world for so many years, but what kind of situation has he not seen before?
But he has never seen this before!
Are all young people today so ruthless?
……
It's so cruel.
Not only is Pan Yi ruthless, but so are the young people under him.
They don't care what the score is now, the boss didn't say stop, he just wants to continue beating him hard!
As a result, St. Pauli's defense was directly torn to pieces by Hamburg's powerful attacking firepower.
In the 76th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball and Vardy shot and scored, 0:5.
In the 80th minute, Vardy received a header from his teammate's cross from the right but was saved. Kanter pushed with his right foot and scored, 0:6.
In the 88th minute, Gunter knocked down Wu Lei in the penalty area, received the second yellow card and was sent off and gave Hamburg a penalty kick. Vardy hit the penalty kick, 0:7.
In the 90th minute, Van Dijk received Calhanoglu's corner kick and scored with his left foot, 0:8!
The referee didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore. He didn't give a single second of stoppage time, and he blew the final whistle just after the 90th minute of the game.
As a result, a new record was created.
This is the game that St. Pauli has lost the most in an official match in its history.
The previous record was on May 7, 2011, when they were beaten 8:1 by the always cruel Bayern Munich when they were still in the Bundesliga.
This is also the most disparate score in the Hamburg Derby in a hundred years!
