The gap between the double crown champion and the triple crown champion seems to be only "one", but the difficulty is not the same.
After all, in European football, there are many teams that can compete with each other, but in the Champions League, all of them are tough, and it is not that easy to win the championship!
Let’s just talk about the overlords of the five major leagues, including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Barcelona. Which one is not the one who often wins double crowns?
Even Manchester City in the Premier League later - of course, they won more League Cups than FA Cups.
If you expand the scope further, including the Celtics of Scotland, Ajax of the Netherlands, Galatasaray of Turkey, etc., there are countless others.
Therefore, double crowns are common, but triple crowns are not.
After Pan Yi led Hamburg to win the German Double Championship this season, they are only one step away from this goal.
The last thing standing in front of Pan Yi and Hamburg is Real Madrid!
If Real Madrid under Mourinho is a team that resolutely fights counterattacks, then under An Pang's rule, Real Madrid's tactics will be richer.
It can be seen from the title of the system tutorial "Good Old Man Ancelotti: The Art of Predicting the Dishes" that he formulates corresponding tactical strategies based more on the characteristics of the players currently owned by the team.
As a world-famous coach, Ancelotti possesses a humility that is incompatible with his status in football.
Because of this, the Italian did not even propose his team building plan to Florentino before taking office this season.
In line with the principle of "looking at the food and eating it", An Shuai conveyed such a signal to the outside world: the chairman is responsible for recruiting, while he is responsible for integrating the team and forming new combat effectiveness.
Under this "indifferent" coaching mentality, if someone asked Ancelotti whether he knew that Lafayette would spend 100 million pounds to introduce Bale on September 1, the answer should be no.
So, with Insko recently joining and Bale not yet arriving, Ancelotti’s preferred formation for the new Galaxy is 4-4-2.
Under this system, Benzema is still the team's main center, while Ronaldo plays the role of a second forward next to the Frenchman;
In the midfield, Insko and Di Maria are on both sides, Modric and the future Arsenal No. 10 guard the center. The Magic Flute is relatively far back, in front of the defense, while the German appears behind the forward.
Looking back at Ancelotti’s 4-4-2 system in his early days from today’s perspective, its actual results were not ideal.
The main reason is that Ronaldo cannot adapt to the new role, and the midfield attack and defense are not balanced.
Anshuai knew this very well, but before Alonso came back, he was determined to implement this system.
The real change happened after Bell joined.
The former Premier League top player broke Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee record and got into Ancelotti's arms with an unstoppable attitude!
Since then, the Italians have been deeply aware of one thing: Florentino spent huge sums of money to introduce Bell not just to make him sit on the bench. He must make adjustments to the existing lineup.
What is quite interesting is that when it comes to the use of Bell, the Western media generally suggested that Anshuai return to the 4-2-3-1 system, that is, let Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell serve as the left and right midfielders respectively, and Arsenal's No. 10 will play as an attacking midfielder in the future.
.
But Ancelotti has his own considerations.
In his view, the traditional 4-2-3-1 cannot maximize the strength of a luxurious offensive combination such as Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema, and the team will inevitably embark on the old path of extreme counterattacks.
Therefore, the best solution at this time is to change to 4-3-3 and use the front trident!
As a result, under Ancelotti's reform ideas, the prototype of Real Madrid's "BBC" combination took shape.
However, the 4-3-3 system implemented by Anshuai in Real Madrid is slightly different from the conventional 4-3-3, and it is not even very consistent with the 4-3-3 Pan Yi currently uses in Hamburg.
In Hamburg, in the 4-3-3 system, three forwards are positioned forward, paired with two central midfielders and a defensive midfielder to form a "3-3" position in the midfield.
But Ancelotti's 4-3-3 is somewhat deformed from the routine.
In addition to the above positions, it also shows that while still maintaining the 3 forward positions, the midfield configuration changes to 2 defensive midfielders and 1 offensive midfielder.
Ancelotti used this deformed 4-3-3 system (although many people think it is 4-2-3-1) in a considerable part of the early season because Xabi Alonso has been injured.
body.
Before Bale made his debut, Di Maria was usually the right winger, and it wasn't until the Welshman made his Real Madrid debut in the league match against Villarreal that the BBC finally officially merged!
From then on, Arsenal No. 10 was basically abandoned in the future, completely heading towards the road of death...
It was also from this time that Real Madrid truly entered a new era, moving from Mourinho to the era of Ancelotti.
After Kroos joins next season, Real Madrid has also completed the last piece of the puzzle in the midfield.
The BBC's three midfielders, plus Marcelo, Ramos and others in the backcourt, are really a frightening team with almost no obvious weaknesses!
It can also be said that it was from this time that Real Madrid truly completed its transformation in strength and laid the foundation for winning trophies in the Champions League repeatedly in the future.
……
After winning the German Cup, Pan Yi often watched recent Real Madrid games with the coaching staff.
The highlight was, of course, their victory over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. In this game, Real Madrid demonstrated their quick counterattack style to its fullest.
But what Pan Yi studied more was Real Madrid's 4-0 defeat of Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals.
That's because, although Real Madrid's performance in the Copa del Rey final was wonderful, after all, without Ronaldo, the BBC combination was not complete.
In this big victory against Bayern, Pan Yi saw more tactical details of Real Madrid!
First of all, there is the change of Di Maria's position.
Xavi Alonso's return allowed Real Madrid to adopt a serious 4-3-3 system, but at the same time, the use of Di Maria troubled Ancelotti.
The Italian coach later had a sudden idea to put Angel in the central midfielder position, in order to allow the latter to stabilize the ball in the midfield and strengthen support for the wing.
Judging from the actual situation, this arrangement is very effective.
In both rounds of the game against Bayern Munich, Di Maria appeared in the left center midfielder position, and he partnered with Modric to play a high-quality game.
Another detail is reflected in Real Madrid's offensive operation.
Ancelotti's team emphasizes speed, accuracy and concentration when passing the ball;
When launching the offense, we do not deliberately seek to steal the ball and counterattack, but give full play to the power of the front three while stabilizing the midfield.
As a result, the connection between Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale has become very close. The three have repeatedly performed wonderful small-scale cooperation, and the power of the BBC has been released to the greatest extent.
Especially in the four-goal victory that conquered the Allianz Arena, Ramos's opening goal was also the product of such cooperation.
At the moment when Modric took the corner kick, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who took off and feinted a shot, taking away Dante's attention. Only then did Shui have the opportunity to score with almost no one marking him.
In the same way, in Ronaldo's first goal, Bell intercepted the ball and handed it to Di Maria. The latter found Benzema with a long pass. When Benzema was about to fall to the ground, he passed the ball back to Bell. The Welshman
He drove straight into the penalty area and was not greedy for credit at the critical moment, helping Ronaldo score his 15th goal in the Champions League in a single season.
The entire counterattack process was a smooth one. Three people from the BBC were involved in the process at the same time, and their cooperation was seamless.
Throughout the game, BBC perfectly executed Ancelotti's pre-match plan: the formation was 4-3-3 when attacking, and the positioning was 4-4-2 when defending;
At the same time, it avoids counterattack opportunities left to the opponent when forward players fight alone, strengthens the connection with the midfield, and uses high-speed and multiple passes to tear apart Bayern's defense.
The effect of their execution is indeed perfect! Otherwise, there would not be such a big victory.
The following data can also prove the importance of the BBC in this Real Madrid team.
Real Madrid has been on full fire in the 12 Champions League games this season, scoring a total of 41 goals, of which the BBC combination scored 28 goals in total, accounting for 68% of the team's total goals.
Considering that the striker trident failed to participate in all 12 games (Cristiano Ronaldo played the most with 11 appearances, followed by Benzema and Bale), this kind of goal ratio is quite terrifying.
Specifically at the individual level of the "BBC" trio, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema are the top three scorers in the Champions League this season. Their direct participation in goal ratios (i.e. goals and assists) are 51% respectively.
24%, 24%, the importance is self-evident.
In addition, the more important point is that among the 28 goals scored by the BBC, the proportion of key goals (the first score or the victory) is also high.
For example, Bell and Benzema scored key goals in the quarter-finals 3:0 Dortmund and the semi-finals 1:0 Bayern respectively.
The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation, and the more important it is to score goals. This is the significance of BBC to the current Real Madrid team.
"So, we must find ways to limit the performance of their front three."
After Pan Yi analyzed Ancelotti's Real Madrid's basic tactical system, he pointed to the three chess pieces on the top of the opponent's tactical board.
"Of course, we don't need to choose a tight defensive formation because we are afraid of the strength of their forward combination."
"Our style has never been to show off. The strict defense when playing Atletico Madrid is just a special strategy."
"The main thing is that I don't think it would be a good idea to defend when facing Real Madrid in the final. Even if they don't defend, they can easily put the ball into our goal with a positional attack!"
"We have to give full play to our strengths! Physical fitness, running, and skillful passing and cutting abilities! We can have a real fight with Real Madrid and beat them!"
"This Real Madrid is indeed very strong, but it is not completely without loopholes. I will tell you later how to crack Ancelotti's Real Madrid..."
Pan Yi spoke slowly, and everyone on the coaching staff listened quietly. No one expressed any objection.
In addition to my consistent trust in Pan Yi, it is mainly for the Champions League final and for Real Madrid...
Only he has experience!
Inzaghi has played many times in the Champions League finals, but this is two different things from being a coach.
Pan Yi had a head-to-head confrontation with Real Madrid when he was an assistant coach in Milan, and finally reached the top of Europe after the Champions League final.
So, just listen to Pan Yi!
If he says he wants to defend, then he should defend. If he says he wants to attack, then everyone should throw away their arms and rush forward!
As for the tactics against Real Madrid, Pan Yi actually had some ideas and frameworks very early on.
Of course, this is first of all due to his having a systematic tutorial that collects world-renowned coaching tactics!
Inside, he can easily and clearly understand the core of Ancelotti's style of play.
Then he used Real Madrid's recent games to figure out Ancelotti's current thoughts and how he would deal with Hamburg, and then came up with a set of tactics that he would use in this Champions League final.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in four words: balance of offense and defense!
Against a team as changeable as Real Madrid, whether it is attacking with the ball or setting up a bus, it is too extreme, and it is easy for An Pang to find loopholes.
Just like Barcelona, an offensive team that seemed to control the rhythm of the whole game, they finally lost to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final;
Also in the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid, which was fully defensive, was also eliminated by Real Madrid.
So, how to truly achieve a balance between offense and defense?
In fact, there are many coaches in the world who want to do this, but in practice things often backfire.
But Pan Yi's thinking is very clear.
The first is defense.
At this time, the Hamburg team must coordinate their positions as a whole and maintain a suitable distance between the three lines of defense to ensure that the team can be relaxed and relaxed.
When defending, you can withdraw and adopt intensive defense. When counterattacking, you can press forward as a whole and organize the offense through the players' passing.
This is not the traditional way of setting up a bus, but relying on the active running of players to achieve the team's ability to form a local area with more players and less players, thereby ensuring defensive intensity.
This is actually a high-intensity full-court pressing defense without pursuing ball possession.
At this time, the Hamburg team must pursue a tactic that emphasizes the overall balance of the team. On the basis of the team's good defense, they will use frontcourt free kicks and pivot players to score goals.
In addition, each of Real Madrid's front-line personnel must be cut at all levels, so as to limit Real Madrid's offense.
In this case, it is difficult for the Real Madrid midfielder to send the ball forward after receiving it. Even if he can barely send it out, the frontcourt players cannot get the ball comfortably. They will either get the ball with their backs or they will be intercepted immediately. p>
Perhaps Bale and Ronaldo can use their own speed to create breakthroughs, but without Benzema's retracement and support, the BBC's connection power will definitely be greatly reduced.
Finally, we must guard against Real Madrid's set-piece tactics.
As we all know, when the game is about to end, you must guard against Ramos' header...
"On offense, we must continue to play to our strengths, including pulling together from the two wings, creating offensive strong sides, inserting back rows in the middle...etc."
"All we do is to disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm!"
"As long as their rhythm is disrupted, that's when we perform. Our players are younger and can run better!"
"When their rhythm is messed up, when they press forward as a whole, there will be a large gap behind them, and we have the strength to attack their behind!..."
After more than two hours of tactical discussion, Pan Yi looked at his assistants and started mobilizing.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication over the past two years. Every one of you deserves the most credit for the team being able to get to where it is today!"
Everyone was also excited.
Hamburg's achievements are also their achievements, and this will be a glorious addition to their coaching resume.
"It has been two years, we have worked hard for two years, and now we have won the Bundesliga championship and the German Cup championship!"
"And now, we have another opportunity to win our Champions League championship! Like each of you, I am very excited and full of expectations."
"In this last week, I hope everyone will continue their excellent performance in the past two years, train well, and stand up for this last shift!"
"I believe that in the end, we will be able to achieve a result that satisfies everyone!"
"Yes, I'm talking about the Triple Crown! This will be the best moment of our lives!"
……
After the meeting, Pan Yi went to eat ramen with Inzaghi and Nagelsmann.
This is considered a repertoire between them.
"How's it going? Did Galliani come to see you?" Pan Yi suddenly asked Inzaghi while he was eating.
At this time, the Serie A league has also ended.
After Milan coach Allegri resigned midway through the season due to poor record, former Milan meritorious player Seedorf took over as Milan coach.
However, Seedorf failed to improve Milan's record. They were eliminated from the Italian Cup and Champions League one after another, and the league was getting further and further away from the European theater.
At the end of the league, Milan only ranked eighth in the standings with 16 wins, 9 draws, 13 losses and 57 points, missing the European war for the first time in sixteen years.
Therefore, Seedorf's dismissal seems to be a certainty.
"Found it." Inzaghi skillfully picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth.
Unlike Guardiola, as an Italian, Inzaghi has a special liking for noodles.
And under Pan Yi's many "trainings", he is also very comfortable in the application of tachyons.
"In fact, we have initialed an agreement and can report to Milan's first team in June." Inzaghi swallowed his words and finished his words.
Pan Yi nodded slightly and asked: "How many years are you planning to sign?"
"Two years, just like what you signed in Hamburg." Inzaghi smiled, "I just don't know if I can last two years without being fired..."
Pan Yi also laughed.
In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, Inzaghi returned to Milan as the head coach during this period, but he did not last two years.
In the 2014-15 season, Inzaghi led AC Milan to a record of 13 wins, 13 draws, 12 losses and 52 points in Serie A, ranking 10th in Serie A.
In other words, it is even worse than this season...
So at the end of the season, Inzaghi was dismissed from his position as coach by AC Milan due to poor performance. From then on, he began a wandering career in the coaching world, playing for various Serie C, Serie B and Serie A teams.
It’s just that Pan Yi hopes that Inzaghi will have a better life in this life. After all, he has studied under Pan Yi for two years, so he must have made some progress!
"I still hope to stay with you and study for a few more years."
Nagelsmann, who was eating noodles with a slightly awkward posture, said.
There was even a slightly sad expression on his face.
Because he knew that what Pan Yi said at the meeting just now, "Stand up for this last duty", besides superficially saying that we must be prepared for the last week before the Champions League final, actually has another meaning. That is this Champions League final. It will probably be Pan Yi's last official game in Hamburg, or even this coaching staff and these players' last official game in Hamburg!
Many big-name clubs are contacting Pan Yi, and rumors that he hopes to coach Pan Yi have long been abuzz in the football world.
Although it is not confirmed which company Pan Yi has chosen, it is true that he has not renewed his contract with Hamburg.
As someone close to Pan Yi, Nagelsmann will certainly know Pan Yi’s thoughts better.
This "senior coach" who is only one year older than me has a huge appetite. After successfully "leveling up" in the Bundesliga, he just wants to create a football dynasty of his own!
In a club that is short of funds like Hamburg, it is obviously difficult to do this.
Moreover, Pan Yi did not treat the two of them as outsiders and would tell them any plans he had.
In addition to acquiescing to Inzaghi to coach in Milan next season, he has even revealed to Nagelsmann that once Pan Yi leaves, he will recommend Nagelsmann to take over the position of Hamburg head coach.
.
For this arrangement, Nagelsmann is very grateful to Pan Yi for his trust and support, but he still feels that he still has not fully learned Pan Yi's profound tactical system!
He felt that he was still young and could study for a few more years, and then it would not be too late to leave the profession.
"I've told you so many times, it's time for you to actually fight." Pan Yi said to Nagelsmann with a smile, "Sometimes, you have to coach a team in person to really face the competition and competition.
Only by challenging yourself can you grow quickly."
"But I'm still young..." Nagelsmann wanted to argue, but was rudely interrupted by Pan Yi.
"You're making this funny to me, right? I'm only one year older than you, and I've already won the Bundesliga double as a head coach, and I'm about to win the triple crown!" Pan Yi sneered, "You call yourself young in front of me.
I simply don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”
"You are different, you are a genius..." Nagelsmann blushed and argued again, "Can the things geniuses do... be compared with us ordinary people?"
Pan Yi laughed: "Well, not only have your tactical knowledge improved a lot, but your ability to flatter me has also become much better. But no matter what, you have to admit that if I leave, you will definitely be the most adaptable to this situation."
The head coach of Hamburg!"
Nagelsmann stopped talking now.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Indeed, whether it is from the tactical inheritance or the familiarity of the players, Nagelsmann is definitely the person who can best make Hamburg achieve a smooth transition.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is the source-changing app,
From this perspective, Pan Yi's appointment of him is also a more responsible performance towards the Hamburg Club.
Otherwise, if everyone is just a worker, they will receive wages while working, and they will leave when the contract expires, why would there be any need to care about you so much?
If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern yourself!
"Come on, don't say anything anymore. Let's leave one of the three. It's all in this noodle!" Pan Yi suddenly picked up a noodle and shouted at Nagelsmann and Inzaghi, "No matter where we go from now on,
Wherever we go, we will always be good brothers!"
Nagelsmann and Inzaghi looked at each other and looked at each other.
What Pan Yi said is true, but this one uses noodles instead of wine...
Three people all pick a noodle and touch it? It’s really hard to do.
This Pan Yi is really good at everything, but sometimes his funny attributes suddenly appear, which is embarrassing...
