Chapter 245 Go through fire and water, Brother Yi!
In fact, Pan Yi doesn't really want to guess what kind of tactics Guardiola will use against Hamburg.
One is a guess, and the other is no need to guess.
Because everything remains true to its roots.
If Guardiola believes that the Super Cup defeat has a greater relationship with the absence of Neuer, Gotze and others, then he will probably still use an attacking midfield combination to defeat Hamburg in one fell swoop.
When he is not convinced, he will want to use the same or similar tactics to prove that he was not wrong last time and that the loss was just an unexpected failure after being short of troops.
Especially Neuer, who is truly the best in the world. Players of Stark's level are completely incomparable!
In addition, Bayern is playing at home this time. With fans, morale and many other bonuses, Guardiola’s offensive formation is almost certain.
Speaking of Bayern, if Guardiola was asked to choose the position he least expected from Pan Yi's lineup in the Super Cup, it would be the center.
At that time, Pan Yi used Mitrovic, a young backup center, as a fulcrum, and made full use of this advantage, which really caught Guardiola off guard.
If according to the normal thinking of ordinary coaches, Bayern used Mitrovic in the last win, then of course they will continue to use him this time.
Therefore, Guardiola will also respond according to Pan Yi's tactics and Mitrovic's tactics.
Unfortunately, Pan Yi is not an "ordinary coach".
……
When Vardy came to the head coach's office, Pan Yi was playing games on the computer.
This game is fm2014 which has just been officially launched.
Pan Yi also chose to coach Hamburg in the game, so in real life Pan Yi created a manager account and replaced the original head coach Pan Yi of Hamburg in the game.
Uh...it seems a bit convoluted.
But Hamburg's performance in the game is not as good as reality. Currently, the league has played 15 rounds, but it lags behind Bayern and Dortmund, only ranking third in the Bundesliga.
"The programmers of this game are still not good. They can't fully simulate the essence of our 433 tactics." Pan Yi pointed at the game screen and said to Vardy with a smile, "Look, Bayern was suppressed and beaten." Vardy also looked at the screen happily.
Everyone in Hamburg knows that Pan Yi loves to play football manager games.
The company director of this game is good friends with Pan Yi. Even the cover of this game is Pan Yi, and they know it.
They also know that many player values in this game, including tactical responsibilities and the like, were adjusted based on many suggestions given by Pan Yi.
Vardy occasionally plays, but after all, the time to play is limited, so he does not study it in depth, and his playing is average.
He now saw that on the screen it was Bayern's home game against Hamburg, and the score was now 2:0, with Bayern leading.
In the Hamburg player list at the bottom of the screen, Vardy also saw the center's name: "Vardy".
He seemed to understand why Pan Yi called him to the office to chat.
"It's really difficult to train you in the game. In fact, you're not very easy to use." Pan Yi suddenly complained, "But this is a mechanical problem with their game, and I can't do anything about it."
In the picture, Vardy happened to have a shot that was caught by Neuer.
Although this is only Vardy's second year playing in the top league, he is already 26 years old.
At the age of 26, for many players who play FM games, they are at the "veteran" level, and their ability growth has basically stagnated.
So even if Pan Yi suggested that the game company should give Vardy a higher potential value, Vardy is not an easy-to-use forward due to the difficulty in attribute growth.
"I don't even buy myself when I play games." Vardy laughed, "I prefer to use Cavani and Lukaku."
"It seems you understand this game." Pan Yi also smiled.
In FM games, the most useful strikers have always been not those with good shooting and technical values, but those with weird bodies.
Explosion, speed, strength, balance, dexterity...
The higher these values are, the more useful they are.
It will still be the case even in a few years.
For example, in fm2020-2021, there was a famous physical monster Thomas Amon. With only 9 shots, he could kill everyone and became the first choice of many players as a striker when leading a small team.
"But you and I both know that you are not like this in reality." Pan Yi pointed at the screen again and looked at Vardy with a smile.
Vardy nodded.
He knew that Pan Yi was about to get to the point.
Sure enough, Pan Yi then minimized the FM game on the computer screen and opened a folder named "Vardi" on the computer desktop.
Inside, there are video files one by one. This is the highlight of Vardy’s games in the past two seasons.
That's right, because Pan Yi will use Vardy to deal with Bayern this time, it is necessary to let Vardy understand his own characteristics in more detail, understand Pan Yi's tactical ideas, and how to crack Bayern's defense!
Unlike Mitrovic, Vardy is only 179cm tall and weighs only 74kg, so he is not a center in the traditional sense.
He doesn't like to stay in the penalty area all the time, preferring to stay wide and have a wide range of activities.
Taking the ball with his back is not his strong point, but his speed is his most outstanding feature.
With his speed, Vardy prefers to roam near the opponent's offside line. By actively roaming in a wide range of positions, he can not only look for opportunities to counter offside at any time, but also constantly "tease" the opponent's defense to create space for his teammates.
.
"Look at this ball, Salah on the wing has taken away the opponent's full-back. You use this space to face the opponent's defensive center back, and finally shoot and score. This is your sharpest weapon." Pan Yi said.
Then he suddenly asked, "What do you think your weakness is?"
"Well..." Vardy pondered for a moment and replied, "As a center, my ability to confront and hold the ball with my back is not good. My dribbling ability at my feet is not top-notch. I rely more on changes in speed and rhythm to get rid of opponents.
, there is not much advantage when facing defenders who are equally fast and flexible."
Pan Yi nodded appreciatively.
There is no perfect player in this world, and the same is true for players as strong as Messi and Ronaldo. They always have their own shortcomings.
An excellent player is one who can recognize his own strengths and weaknesses, and then use his strengths and weaknesses in the game to give full play to his strengths.
Of course, the same is true for a good head coach. He can always put the right players in the right formation responsibilities, and then use the right tactics to let each player take advantage of them.
Now Pan Yi wants to use Vardy to deal with Bayern's defense.
Vardy's characteristics are that he is fast, likes to play wide, is diligent, has excellent shooting skills, and his contribution to pressure and defense can be said to be absolutely in line with Pan Yi's requirements, and even better than Pan Yi expected.<
/p>
And if the opponent uses high pressure, due to the presence of Vardy, the opponent's defense must always be wary of their own behind. After all, in Hamburg's formation, there are many good long pass players in the midfield and backfield.
At the same time, although Vardy is not tall, his positive attitude and running position give him a certain ability to compete for the first point. Even the big feet of average quality in the backcourt can be used for teammates. This is the case for many former players.
What a field player cannot do.
Opponents are wary of Vardy's presence, so they need to weigh carefully when adopting a high defensive line. They must either risk being beaten behind them, leave more depth space for Hamburg, or completely give up high pressure.
This is the advantage of using Vardy.
Since Bayern suffered a loss from Mitrovic in the Super Cup last time, Guardiola is likely to send a combination of Dante and Van Aten to defend. At this time, Vardy will focus on suppressing Dante. p>
Since Dante's turn speed is slow, Bayern may not be able to play the high defensive line too comfortably due to Vardy's speed, while Hamburg can also use long passes from the backcourt to defeat Bayern's counterattack.
Vardy's speed determines that he is a big killer in quick counterattacks!
This is actually his ability to eat, and Pan Yi didn't elaborate much on it.
Next, Pan Yi focused on talking to Vardy about his role in the offensive phase of the position.
After all, Hamburg today is not the same team that had to play defensive counterattack when encountering a strong team!
They want to compete with Bayern for midfield control.
Therefore, the emergence of positional offense is essential.
Unlike Mitrovic, who plays a central fulcrum and siege hammer when playing positional battles, Vardy's wing operation ability will play an important role at this time.
For example, when Vardy moves to the left wing, combined with the left winger, Robertson who is inserted in, and Kante who is already active on this side, the four people can form a formation on the left side with Casemiro who is deep in defense.
Possessing the ball on the strong side is the concept of "overload" that Pan Yi often mentioned in the team recently.
This is different from when playing Barcelona before when he used the right strong side to suppress Adriano, because Vardy can roam on both sides and support one of them at any time, forming a larger and more flexible strong side overload. p>
If Bayern's central defender and defensive midfielder do not complement this side, Hamburg will be able to form a partial numerical advantage, and there will be a risk of being partially broken through.
Let's take the overload on the left as an example. In this case, Casemiro's ability to control the ball and pass the ball, coupled with the cross-running of Son Heung-min and Vardy, can be used locally, and once the explosion is completed, an opportunity can be formed. If Bayern as a whole does not move in time and only some players in the middle can make up for it, then there will be a gap in the weak side rib or at the top of the penalty area, whether it is Salah, De Bruyne who inserted after the midfield, or even Kava.
Hal can make good use of this opportunity.
And if Bayern's overall formation is very tight and the whole team moves over when Hamburg forms an "overload", then the weak side will be exposed.
At this time, Hamburg quickly moved to the weak side (it happened that Hamburg's midfielder had Casemiro, De Bruyne and others who were good at this), and it was easy for Salah to get a one-on-one opportunity, whether it was Salah or not.
If He directly breaks into the penalty area, or cooperates with Carvajal to complete a high-quality cross, it will pose a considerable threat.
When the ball is transferred to the weak side, it will inevitably drive the opponent's formation to move laterally. At this time, Vardy's ability to run without the ball can be brought into play.
Once these routines are played, they will have this effect: Hamburg controls the ball on the left and mobilizes the opponent. Casemiro uses his vision and skills to pick out the ball and quickly transfer it. On the other side, Salah takes the ball to Kava.
Hall created space at the bottom, Carvajal calmly completed the cross, and Vardy relied on his movement and aggressiveness to bully the opponent's full-back and complete the goal.
This picture is likely to be Hamburg's killer move against Bayern!
The same routine works if Vardy switches to the right side.
Why did Pan Yi do this this time?
It is precisely because Guardiola has now begun to use the tactic of pulling in the full-backs, and whether it is Alaba or Lahm pulling in, the wing they were originally guarding will lack defensive power.
Coupled with the fact that Guardiola is now superstitious about letting Thiago play as a defensive midfielder, there will definitely be some oversights in the defense on the wing.
Therefore, letting Vardy lead the team as a whole to play an overloaded strong side to suppress the opponent's wing will be a magic weapon for Hamburg to win.
"Yeah, yeah." Listening to Pan Yi's explanation in conjunction with the video, Vardy nodded frequently.
This is not the first time he has heard such detailed tactical analysis from Pan Yi.
Whenever there is a strong enemy, when Pan Yi needs the players to complete some special tactical instructions, he will call specific players to give such explanations.
What surprises Vardy is that he can always hear different, fresh and advanced tactical ideas every time!
This also made him full of admiration and trust for this young coach who was only one year older than him.
Coupled with Pan Yi's kindness to him, Vardy's feelings for Pan Yi almost rose to the level of idol worship.
Finally, Pan Yi told Vardy:
"The prerequisite for this strong overload tactic to be effective is to have a chemical reaction with your teammates, so that you can control the ball on the strong side."
"Once you are not able to think about your teammates at all times, the effectiveness of this tactic will be greatly reduced!"
"So, you can't just think about shooting by yourself, you should pay more attention to your teammates when you get the ball, and actively cooperate with your teammates at any time!"
Vardy took a deep breath.
Now he fully understands what he should do.
Vardy immediately nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely not let you down in this game!"
Pan Yi smiled and said: "I believe in you. From the day you joined my team, you have never disappointed me, and this time is the same."
Vardy was a little moved.
How virtuous and capable he is!
A guy who was still playing in the amateur league at the age of 25 was suddenly taken to Germany to play in the top league by a guy who was known as a genius coach. He was then entrusted with important tasks and given unconditional trust and support.
This Pan Yi is really the noble person in his destiny!
And he did live up to Pan Yi's expectations for him, becoming the team's top scorer and finishing second in the Bundesliga is proof of this.
He also believes that under Pan Yi’s coaching, Hamburg’s achievements will be more than just the Bundesliga runner-up, or even more than the Bundesliga championship!
"By the way, if one day I go to coach another team, will you be willing to follow me?" Pan Yi suddenly asked.
Pan Yi also suddenly thought of this.
Isn't this because Crystal Palace wants to poach him? However, Premier League teams are not as convenient and casual in buying people as Bundesliga teams.
That really requires a household registration book and a labor certificate!
It's easy to get a labor certificate, but in the worst case, you can get EU players or international players from various countries.
But easy-to-use household registration is not easy to obtain.
This is also the reason why some English players are actually of average quality but their worth is ridiculously high.
What a coincidence, Vardy is the authentic British household registration book!
So he asked tentatively, as a way to prepare for the future.
Vardy, on the other hand, answered at attention without any hesitation:
"I will go wherever you go. Through fire and water, Brother Yi!"
Pan Yi is very satisfied with this answer.
It seems that I have cultivated a group of loyal disciples in the past two years...
……
After providing one-on-one coaching to key players, Pan Yi also held a team-wide tactical preparation meeting.
He needs to unify everyone's thinking before the game, and also to mobilize the whole team before the game.
"Before I start, I hope all of you can be aware of something."
Pan Yi stood on the main podium, facing everyone in front of him, including the coaching staff, players and staff.
Everyone looked at him attentively, and the whole place was silent except for Pan Yi's voice.
"That is for this weekend's game, our team has only one goal." Pan Yi said the word with force: "Victory!"
Pan Yi's expression was unusually firm, as if he didn't allow anyone to have a different opinion.
He wants to use this method to let everyone feel his determination and his fighting spirit.
"I don't want a draw, and certainly don't want a defeat, I just want to win!"
"I know the opponent is Bayern, the powerful Bayern, or Bayern at home. But I still want to win. If Manchester City can do it, we can do it too."
"When we lost to them at the Allianz Arena last season, I said that I would go back there in a year and win the ball back. Now is the time!"
"Victory in the Super Cup? That doesn't count because it's not at the Allianz Arena. Only winning at the Allianz Arena is called getting up wherever you fall!"
"This may be our most difficult game in the entire Bundesliga season. Bayern has not lost to any Bundesliga team at home for a long time. But I don't believe in evil. We are going to break this record this time!"
"Then, completely suppress Bayern, firmly occupy the top spot, and let them catch up and despair!..."
Pan Yi's speech made everyone present feel the raging war in his heart!
The players and coaches also roared, and they were also confident.
Killing Bayern at the Allianz Arena is also the common wish of all of them!
……
The 16th round of the Bundesliga has added a few more topics to the battle between Bayern and Hamburg.
Hoffenheim drew with Dortmund 2:2 at home!
Huocun took a 2-0 lead in the first half with goals from Volland and Spurlock, which almost stunned Klopp's Dortmund.
Fortunately, Klopp made timely adjustments, and Aubameyang and Piszczek scored twice in the second half to avoid another Dortmund defeat.
But this also slowed down their pace of catching up with the top two.
Leverkusen was even worse. Their feet were completely fixed to the ground, or they fell.
They lost 0:1 at home to last season's dark horse Frankfurt. Midfielder Lars scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.
Neither team can win, which makes the clash between Bayern and Hamburg even more important.
Many media believe that this game is even an early final, and the result will directly determine the Bundesliga championship this season.
For Bayern, which is still two points behind, whether it can take advantage of its home court to defeat Hamburg is also extremely critical.
If a team that is lagging behind wants to overtake, in addition to performing well, it also needs to rely on its opponents to make mistakes.
But now Hamburg is playing very steadily, and the players' status has not fluctuated much, so the room for mistakes is actually very small.

Therefore, if Bayern wants to control its destiny, it must seize this opportunity.
As we all know, the fastest way to shorten the gap in the standings is through direct dialogue with each other. This is why some key battles are called "six-point battles."
……
The finale of the 16th Bundesliga is Bayern's home game against Hamburg.
This is not only the focus of the Bundesliga, but also the decisive battle that fans around the world are paying attention to.
Because this is also a head-to-head matchup between two teams that performed well in the Champions League!
At the pre-match press conference, both Guardiola and Pan Yi admitted that this will be the team's most important game of the season.
This battle will be a watershed that determines the direction of the Bundesliga championship this season.
Guardiola said that since losing to Hamburg in the Super Cup, he has studied and analyzed Pan Yi's tactics. He believes that he will defeat Hamburg this time and achieve revenge!
But Pan Yi also mentioned the word "revenge".
"We lost to Bayern in the away game last season. I wanted revenge at that time, and I don't think the Super Cup victory is considered a successful revenge."
"I told my players that if you lose in Allianz, you must win the ball back in Allianz. This is called revenge!"
"Therefore, everyone on the team and I will do our best to defeat Bayern at the Allianz Arena, and then convincingly continue to stand at the top of the Bundesliga standings!"
Such a powerful statement excited the media and fans around the world.
Moreover, the declaration of revenge before the game is the most eye-catching, and it is also the best way to inspire the players to fight. But this time, it is actually a "double revenge" mode?
Both sides want revenge?
This is even rarer than eating an egg with a double yolk.
Whether in Germany, Europe, Asia, or even America, Oceania...
Almost all fans are talking about this game.
The media from various countries will not let go of this traffic-filled showdown. It is said that TV stations in more than 100 countries and regions will broadcast it live.
Some media said:
"This is not just an ordinary Bundesliga match, this is a duel between two championship-level teams! This is a duel between two famous coaches, a stage for top tactics and player performances, and a festival for fans all over the world!
