Hamburg Club Chairman Yachov is chatting with his assistant in his office:
"Have you investigated Pan Yi's detailed information? Did he play a leading role in AC Milan's tactics this season?"
The assistant gave an affirmative answer: "Definitely yes. Whether it is at a press conference or in a private interview, Milan's players and coaches have praised Pan Yi, including their head coach Allegri." p>
"Well..." Yahov pondered for a moment, "The main reason is that he is too young, which makes people a little worried. By the way, if Milan is so strong this season, could it be because they have introduced a lot of strong players? It has something to do with the coach.
Not really big?"
The assistant said: "Yes, the new players are very good. However, it is said that these strong reinforcements were all introduced after Pan Yi entered the Milan coaching staff."
"Is it so evil?" Yahov paced in the office.
After a while, he looked up at his assistant: "Do you think we have done something wrong if we invite Pan Yi to be the head coach?"
The assistant smiled bitterly and said: "This... I don't know. Is our current lineup too much worse than Milan's and will he look down on it?"
Yahov sighed softly: "Isn't this just hoping that after he comes to our team, he can also bring in some fresh blood? But now that the winter window has passed, there is no chance for signings. It seems that we can only wait until next season.
Ask him."
The assistant took a step forward: "Chairman, are you really planning to find him as the head coach? But even if he is next season, he will only be 26 years old."
Yahov snorted: "Then do you have a more suitable candidate? Will the big-name coach come to our Hamburg?"
The assistant is silent.
Of course a great coach would not come to Hamburg now.
Although Hamburg is actually not a small club at all.
They have won the Bundesliga three times, the German Cup three times, and even won the Champions League and the Cup Winners' Cup once!
In the 1980s, Hamburg was a strong European team. In German football, it was also known as the King of the North. It was tied with Bayern Munich, the King of the South. It was known as "Bayern South and Hamburg" in the world.
But in the 21st century, this strong team began to decline, and gradually missed out on various championships.
In recent years, Hamburg's decline has accelerated, and they have missed out on a European spot.
This year, Hamburg even began to fight for relegation!
This is unacceptable to Hamburg, which is accustomed to calling itself a "big club".
Therefore, club president Yachov also had the idea of changing the head coach.
The current head coach is former Bayern midfielder Fink. He was a late bloomer when playing football and had no characteristics when coaching. His performance has been declining, which makes Yachov a little intolerable.
But it is now halfway through the schedule, and at the critical moment when Hamburg is fighting for relegation, Yachov still holds back.
He decided to get through the season safely first.
By the way, I can also observe Pan Yi's performance this season...
……
February 15, Milan.
After training, the coaching staff gathered together to chat.
Pan Yi said to Allegri: "Coach, when you were boosting everyone's morale today, why didn't you just say that Arsenal should be defeated? Instead, you just asked everyone to try their best to win."
Allegri rolled his eyes at Pan Yi: "Isn't it too much to underestimate the enemy? Arsenal is not our Serie A team, they are very strong!"
This is not because Allegri has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige.
The main reason is that since Inter Milan took away the Champions League title from Bayern Munich under the leadership of Mourinho in the 2009-2010 season, Serie A has been losing blood year by year due to economic reasons, and stars have gradually left, resulting in increasingly weaker competitiveness.
On the contrary, the Premier League continues to rise, collecting more and more of the world's top stars.
Due to the ebb and flow, now Italian teams often have little confidence in winning when they encounter English teams.
Hearing what Allegri said, Pan Yi smiled and said: "But we are Milan! The top team in Serie A, how can we be afraid of their team competing for fourth place in the Premier League?"
Allegri snorted: "Are you looking down on Van Persie or Wenger? They even have Thierry Henry!"
Pan Yi smiled again and did not answer.
For Pan Yi, Wenger's Arsenal does have something in terms of tactical design, but unfortunately they are also currently limited by the impact of funds, and the strength of the players in the lineup is not able to support Wenger's pursuit of technical football.
Coupled with the casual personnel changes in recent years, Arsenal has been unable to form the same tacit cooperation as Barcelona, resulting in Wenger's tactical power being greatly reduced.
Wenger also began to bow to reality and began to try simple football similar to Mourinho's style, quickly advancing the ball into the frontcourt.
However, in the frontcourt, Wenger still hopes to penetrate the opponent's defense with the help of cooperation. This may be his last insistence on technical football.
The midfielder composed of Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky and others is still full of technical content, which can ensure defense while giving Arsenal the basis for high-quality cooperation at the front of the penalty area.
According to Pan Yi's observation of Arsenal's recent games, their left back no longer rushes to the left wing and passes in according to ordinary tactical arrangements. Both Monreal and Gibbs have begun to directly enter the penalty area to score;
The two wingers are replaced almost every game because they play the role of winger and full-back on their respective wings, so their physical fitness is destined to begin to decline sharply around 70 minutes.
Therefore, although Arsenal still has a picturesque frontcourt at this time, the content of the game is actually much less than before.
Therefore, Pan Yi is confident that Milan can defeat Arsenal.
Even in terms of playing style, Milan still has a certain degree of restraint against Arsenal.
The pressure of Milan's young players on Arsenal's midfield and backcourt will inevitably affect the quality of the Gunners' passing and receiving, and passing and receiving is the magic weapon that Arsenal relies on when attacking, and it is what Wenger values most.
"Don't argue. No matter how we train before the game, our boys know how to perform well in the game."
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Tassotti smiled and said.
He is now accustomed to such scenes.
When the so-called "coaching staff discusses tactics", Tassotti usually can't get in the middle of the conversation. Allegri and Pan Yi always talk non-stop, and occasionally there will be disputes.
But in the end, it seems that Pan Yi wins.
At this time Allegri will admit his mistake.
In the eyes of Tassotti, the oldest, the two coaches are like a pair of happy enemies, noisy but not harmonious.
Finally, Allegri stood up and patted Pan Yi on the shoulder: "In terms of tactics, I admit that you are very good. But how to boost morale, I know better than you. Only by not putting more pressure on them can we do better.
Let’s make full use of it!”
"Oh." Pan Yi replied.
But at this moment, his heart was: "Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face if you praise Haikou...I'm not afraid!"
