After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 207 Double Kill Dort!

The game had just started in the second half, and Dortmund played a beautiful attack by taking the opportunity of kick-off.

Shaheen made a direct pass behind him, and Gotze plugged in and was about to face goalkeeper Keylor Navas, but the Hamburg team hadn't reacted yet.

Rudiger quickly chased back and shoveled Gotze!

And because he was the last defensive player, the referee directly showed a red card and sent him off!
The two sides have returned to a ten-on-ten fair duel.

This is something that Pan Yi did not expect at all.

Really surprised!

Pan Yi has been worried about the problem of turning yellow cards into red cards due to emotional control. This situation did not appear, but this happened.

There is no way, accidents and goals on the court, you always don't know which one will come first.

As a defensive player, Rudiger wanted to stop the goal at that moment and made his own defensive actions, so he can't blame him for getting a red card.

This is completely different from those acts of malicious revenge and deliberate excessive actions.

So Pan Yi immediately adjusted the lineup.

Unlike Lewandowski who was sent off in the first half, a striker went down, and Klopp just pushed Gotze up a little bit, and the entire formation did not need any major changes.

But Hamburg's central defender has gone down, so it needs to be replenished immediately, otherwise it will soon become a colander.

So, Pan Yi waved the flag, Wu Lei went off, and captain Westermann came on.

Westerman and Kjaer partnered as central defenders, while Sun Xingmin in the frontcourt leaned a little closer to the middle, forming a double forward with one left and one right with Vardy, which could barely maintain the balance of offense and defense.

After Shaheen took the free kick over the crossbar, Westerman also brought Pan Yi's latest tactical instructions to the players on the field:
Stop onslaught and start transitioning to a strategic defense phase!
Although neither side has an advantage in the number of people on the field, it is after all 10 players playing 10 players.

One less person means players can cover more ground and run longer distances.

This is easy to understand. If it is a bit exaggerated, if you play a 11vs7 match in an 7-man field, and everyone goes all out, see if you will be exhausted.

So Pan Yi didn't want the players to be tired.

Now leading by one goal, the initiative is still in his hands.

As long as they recover a little, defend well, have possession of the ball, and control the rhythm, Dortmund has no good way to take Hamburg.

As a result, the two sides became a little deadlocked.

Due to the increased control of the midfield, Hamburg has always held the ball and the advantage of the scene, while Dortmund wants to play a threat on the offensive end, but is afraid of Hamburg's quick counterattack, and the Hornets are caught in a dilemma.

Especially in the second half when Hamburg was more in possession of the ball in the midfield and on the back foot, Dortmund made several attempts, but was suppressed by Hamburg's counterattack.

And when the game entered the 70th minute, which was earlier than Pintus expected, some Dortmund players began to show fatigue.

At this time, Hamburg began to counterattack strongly. Robertson sent the ball to the front. De Bruyne came to the wing to receive the ball and sent a precise cross. Vardy, who outflanked the ball, scored twice and scored Hamburg's third goal of the game. !
Hamburg leads by two goals!
Shortly after he scored the goal, he was replaced by Swedish striker Berry, and Pan Yi was ready to withdraw.

Of course, Dortmund coach Klopp is not reconciled to failure.

He immediately made 2 substitution adjustments, and Siebel and Gundogan came off the bench to strengthen the offense.

This move has had a certain effect, and Dortmund's offensive power has indeed become stronger.

In the 73rd minute, Royce shot high from outside the penalty area.

In the 78th minute, Hummels dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot with his left foot. The ball was resolved by Navas.

In the 83rd minute, Santana broke into the opponent's penalty area in a counterattack. He received a pass from Blaszczykowski and directly volleyed and the ball missed.

However, Dortmund could not attack for a long time, but the defense fell again.

In the 89th minute, Hamburg used Dortmund to counterattack across the board. Sun Xingmin received an assist from Casemiro and pushed in front of the goal.

Hamburg leads 4-1 away!
The final whistle sounded shortly afterwards.

In the end, Dortmund was reversed by Hamburg 1-4 at home. The defending champion still has a 12-point gap with Bayern, which has not yet played this round. Hamburg, which scored all 3 points, further consolidated their second place in the standings. Location.

……

After the game, the media did not pay attention to Dortmund's unexpected three-goal defeat at home to Hamburg itself.

It was Lewandowski's red card that sparked widespread controversy.

Although Hamburg had the advantage in this game and created many more shooting opportunities than Dortmund, many people think that it was caused by the premature red card.

"Ruhr News" pointed out that although Lewandowski's actions were dangerous, they were not intentional. A yellow card is enough, and there is no red card!
And it was this red card that ruined a game that should have been more exciting and also helped Hamburg win.

But the "Hamburger Morning Post" retorted:

"Is it enough to kick Rudiger's head to the head? Is it enough to send Rudiger directly to the hospital?"

"If Hamburg wins this game, it wins. Don't make any excuses. The total time for Hamburg to play 11 and 10 is less than 20 minutes, and in these 20 minutes, Hamburg did not score. All the goals are in the number of players. Scored under equal circumstances!"

"Looking at it this way, our Hamburg team is still very gentlemanly. Maybe Rudiger's red card leaving the field was arranged by coach Pan Yi during the intermission so that they can beat Dortmund with the same number of people, so that no one loses Unconvinced..."

Since Pan Yi led Hamburg to play better and better, the local media in Hamburg have been completely convinced.

They have long regarded Pan Yi as their own family, but now that someone dares to question Pan Yi and his hamburger, of course they have to come out to protect the calf.

Of course, Pan Yi also enjoys this feeling very much, and it is also very important to have a sense of belonging!
And the controversy didn't settle down until the German Football Association finally made a ruling.

Lewandowski was suspended for three games for dangerous behavior during the game!
This is the official characterization of this red card as no problem, and it is more serious than everyone imagined!
This is undoubtedly a worse for Dortmund, which is not doing well recently.

Dortmund therefore appealed against Lewandowski's suspension, but the German Football Association Sports Tribunal rejected the club's first appeal after a hearing. They believed that Lewandowski's foul was too rude and decided to uphold the original judgment of the 1-game suspension .

Subsequently, Dortmund appealed for the second time, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport held a three-hour hearing in Frankfurt.

In the end, Erlers, chairman of the German Football Association's sports court, said: "Lewandowski's foul on the opposing player was undoubtedly rough, but in the subsequent conflicts between the two players, he was obviously restrained and not as malicious as before. So we think the two-match ban is appropriate."

Therefore, Lewandowski's suspension period was shortened to 2 games, which can be regarded as a reasonable plan for all parties.

However, it is said that Lewandowski is still not very satisfied with Dortmund's handling of the matter.

Borussia Dortmund's sports director Zorc admitted that Lewandowski has clearly rejected the club's contract renewal conditions, and there are endless transfer rumors between the Polish and Bayern.

This also makes Dortmund coach Klopp also very anxious. After all, for now, Lewandowski is irreplaceable for Dortmund.

Klopp once started the game with the questionable substitute striker Siebel, and also let Gotze play as a guest striker, but the results were not ideal.

The only thing that gives Klopp a little comfort is that although he lost to Pan Yi and Hamburg again, even worse than the last time, Dortmund's position in the standings has not changed.

In several important games of this round of the Bundesliga, Frankfurt was tied 0-0 at home by Nuremberg, Borussia Mönchengladbach tied Leverkusen 3-3 at home, and Bayern Munich beat Schalke 04 with four goals.

The teams behind Dortmund failed to win.

As a result, the top four in the Bundesliga are still Bayern, Hamburg, Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen.

In the ensuing Champions League round of 16 first-leg contest, Dortmund also drew 2:2 away from Shakhtar Donetsk.

This good result can be regarded as a head start for Dortmund's promotion road, and it finally didn't make Klopp feel like a chicken and an egg.

The other two Bundesliga teams that also reached the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League, Schalke 04 also drew away from Galatasaray from the Turkish Super League, and Bayern, which played steadily, defeated the Premier League side 3:1 away. Arsenal, promotion is in sight.

Another game that Pan Yi is more concerned about is between AC Milan and Barcelona.

The two of them are drawn together again!
In the first round, AC Milan defeated their opponents 2:0 at home, with Boateng and Kanter each scoring a goal.

It seems that after experiencing poor form at the beginning of the season, the team led by Allegri performed well in the Champions League.

……

Of course, Pan Yi doesn't need to care too much about the Champions League this season. Whether his predecessor is good or bad has nothing to do with him.

It is enough for him to play his own Bundesliga well.

Hamburg's next opponent is Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the first round, Hamburg won a four-goal victory in the away game. This time, Pan Yi is sure to win when he returns to the home court.

However, football has never been a simple addition or multiplication.

Hamburg's strength has increased, its state is better, and it is playing at home, while Borussia has no changes in terms of coaches or players, and even the ranking has dropped compared to the first half of the season.

Then one rises and the other disappears, can Hamburg get a better result than 4:0?
the answer is negative.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach still adopted the "old-fashioned" 442 formation in Pan Yi's mouth, and still relied on the winger's slanting to find a double center tactic, but this time Hamburg did not get too much from Borussia.

Because this time, Borussia's old coach Favre has regarded Hamburg as a real strong team, and has begun to bury his head more resolutely in defensive counterattacks!

Of course, there is another important reason for Borussia's disastrous defeat last time, and that is the early departure of the team's card master Xhaka.

This time, Xhaka obviously learned the lesson from last time and played more steadily in the game. He also gave full play to his characteristics of large coverage area and strong defensive ability, so that Hamburg's midfielder did not occupy too much cheap.

The absence of Rudiger's suspension made Hamburg also encounter some difficulties in launching an offense in the backcourt.

With fewer offensive points, it will be easier for the opponent to defend.

The game lasted until the 78th minute of the second half. Hamburg still took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's physical fitness declined and his concentration relaxed after the opponent's strict defense. De Bruyne hit a world wave at the top of the penalty area and finally won. A goal!
And once Hamburg takes the lead, Borussia Mönchen, which is already inferior to its opponent in terms of strength, will be a little helpless if they want to get it back.

This score has been maintained until the end.

Hamburg has won five consecutive victories!
However, this winning streak was ended in the next round.

Hamburg drew 1:1 with Hannover 96 in the away game, and both rounds were tied with their opponents.

When summing up after the game, Pan Yi made a deep self-criticism.

He believes that his failure to win was due to his insufficient research on Hannover 96's formation.

The starting lineup of Hannover 96 is as follows:
Forwards: Briam Diouf, Abdullah.

Midfielders: Justi, Pinto, Hoffman, Jakonan.

Defenders: Poconioli, Schultz, Juru, Chahid.

Goalkeeper: Ziller.

It is also a 442 formation, which looks the same as the last round of Borussia Mönchengladbach, so Pan Yi relaxed his vigilance a bit and played according to the previous round of play.

But Borussia Mönchengladbach is a parallel position 442, while Hannover 96 is a disc-shaped position 442!

This kind of formation is not very common in world football, and even in Pan Yi's system courses, there are no famous coaches who use this formation, which makes him somewhat neglect it.

"Because the midfielders in the 442-disc midfield formation are distributed in two lines, from an overall point of view, this formation will present four lines, including one forward line, two midfield lines, and one back line."

"Because this formation has a large number of people in the center of the field, the 442 disc midfield formation is not easy for the opponent to break through from the center, and the team's number advantage in the center can also be reflected when attacking. The team's 4 midfield discs The two-line arrangement of the positions is not only conducive to the passing cooperation between players, but also facilitates the echo and movement between each other."

"The four midfielders of Hannover 96 have a high degree of tacit cooperation, so when they use this formation, their advantages on the offensive end can be well utilized."

The post-match summary is very important.

You have to sum up when you win, and you have to sum up even more when you lose.

At present, this tradition has been formed in the Hamburg team, so that common progress can be obtained through continuous business exchanges.

As for the summary that started after Pan Yi first issued a "crime decree", the coaches naturally listened very carefully.

Pan Yi pointed to both sides of the tactics list:

"Although the 442 disc midfield formation deploys a large number of players in the middle, the offensive focus of this formation is not in the middle, but in the left and right sides of the court and the left and right rib areas."

"The offensive idea of ​​this formation is to rely on the advantage of the team's midfielder to effectively drive and radiate to the wing and rib areas, perfectly combining the team's sides, center, and ribs to make full use of the space on the field. , forming an effective siege in the opponent's defensive third zone."

"However, as the defensive side, the middle area is a heavily guarded area in principle, and the effect of positional warfare attack with us here is bound to be poor."

"Unfortunately, there are very few players on the wings and ribs in the disc midfield formation. Only the left and right full-backs are players who can be used without moving. How do they deal with this situation? ?”

"The answer is the orderly rotation, rotation and movement of the players. This formation uses a pair of forwards, and the coach usually chooses a fulcrum center with a strong physical confrontation - in Hannover 96 it was Briam Dee. Uff, paired with another striker who is more mobile, Abdullah."

"A reasonable combination of the two can complement each other's advantages. At the same time, the more flexible forward can also play a role in frontcourt support, support and running without the ball."

"We look at what they did before the goal, and we can have a deeper understanding of how this tactic works."

Pan Yi picked up the remote control again and pressed the play button.

The screen of the game that had been suspended on the big screen started to move again.

"Their striker Abdullah began to move laterally in a large range when the team was attacking, to complete his task of attacking on the left and right sides."

"And this full-back Chahid also started to support the team's offense by running when his own offense took the initiative."

"It is worth noting here that their double midfielders leave one behind when the team is attacking to prevent our counterattack."

"In this attack, one of their defensive midfielders, which is this Hoffman, moved forward. And when Hoffman moved forward to participate in the attack, the other defensive midfielder Pinto began to rotate. , so as to ensure the stability of the formation.”

"After such a rotation, we saw that they began to encircle us in the side rib area. The encirclement here is not only reflected in the advantage in numbers, but more importantly, the flexibility of the players' understanding of tactics and the diversity of running positions."

"So we were a bit stretched defensively. After a couple of passes, the ball went to Abdullah, he crossed the goal and all Diouf had to do was push the ball into our goal. inside."

The meeting room was silent, but the coaches were all nodding.

Pan Yi recounted the whole process of Hamburg conceding a goal in great detail, which also gave everyone a more intuitive understanding of the offensive system of Hannover 96, a 442-disc midfielder.

People like Inzaghi and Nagelsman have heard a lot, but I think it's okay. Anyway, what else can coach Pan Yi not know?
But Pintus is different.

Although he has worked with quite a few head coaches, none of them can explain a tactic so thoroughly!
So while he was taking notes, he was amazed.

At the same time, he was also glad that he followed Pan Yi to Hamburg so decisively at the beginning—what, the main reason is that his salary doubled?Not at all.I, Pintus, are also the man who will be the head coach in the future!
But at this time, Pan Yi looked at Pintus again, and praised him unexpectedly:
"Since I was not wary of this tactic of Hannover 96 and they advanced the goal, why didn't I lose in the end?"

"I think it still depends on Coach Pintus' strict requirements on the players, so that their physical fitness has really reached a very high level."

Pintus, a little old man in his 50s, was "surprised" by such a young man in his 20s, praised and praised, so he touched his head embarrassedly and laughed.

Pan Yi smiled, and continued:

"When the game lasted more than 70 minutes, because we counterattacked more aggressively, I also asked our players to avoid their heavily guarded areas in the middle and play on the side. At this time, the physical gap between the two sides began to show. Hannover 96's The players are also struggling defensively."

"So, they took the initiative to change. In order to make up for the weakness of this formation on the side when defending, the two attacking midfielders began to pull away from the side. At this time, the player Abdullah on the front line also retreated to the center. , to fill the vacancy in the front midfielder position."

"After pushing for a while, they felt that it was still not enough, so the two attacking midfielders continued to move diagonally to the rear and became a 442 parallel midfielder formation."

"Although it was due to the decline in physical fitness that caused the change of formation, but at this time, they have inadvertently entered the field we are familiar with."

"We started to block the two midfielders in the middle like we did with Borussia's 442, so that they couldn't have a stable point of delivery."

"And because Hannover 96's 442 is extremely demanding on the physical fitness of the two full-backs, when they cannot smoothly go back and forth between the two penalty areas, the gaps on the two wings are very clearly exposed to us."

"That's where our goal comes in and it's one of our best ways to attack. Casemiro hits a long pass behind Chahid and Son Heung-min runs in and gets the ball."

"The opponent's central defender must move laterally to make up for it at this time, but at this time our back-end Vardy and Wu Lei are also in place."

"So this is the story we are familiar with. Vardy took away another central defender, Wu Lei was unguarded, and he scored a successful shot to equalize the score!"

At this time, Nagelsmann raised his hand:
"So, if the opponent has good physical fitness and insists on using a 442 disc midfielder to deal with it, what should we do?"

Pan Yi smiled and said, "You found out. I talked for a long time, but I really didn't talk about the initial coping method."

"As I mentioned just now, this is a formation with relatively concentrated personnel in the middle. Then, the basic idea to crack them is to deploy players on the side, and even let our front and back midfielders pull side support."

"Then their full-backs and full-backs have to leave their positions in order to mark our wide players, and the whole formation of the team will be destroyed."

"When the distance between their players reaches a certain level, there will be gaps, and we can suddenly speed up, and create a strong offensive side through the wide range of running of the team players, forming a numerical advantage."

"In this way, the initiative of the game will be taken by us again!"

There was bursts of applause in the meeting room.

This is the spontaneous applause from the "students" to the "teacher" after a wonderful class.

But Inzaghi still raised his doubts:
"Is this formation used by other teams in the Bundesliga besides Hannover 96? I always feel that we have to meet them again next season. Maybe they will change coaches by then. This solution is a bit useless. ..."

"Yes." Pan Yi laughed, "That's our opponent in the next round, and it's also the opponent we lost to them—"

Everyone said in unison:

"Filt!"
