Chapter 266 Teaming up with Guashuai to play Atletico Madrid
Since the next three games are all domestic events in Germany, Pan Yi can only leave Simeone behind.

先是4月13日的德甲第30轮客场对汉诺威96，然后是4月17日的德国杯半决赛主场对凯泽斯劳滕，最后是4月20日的德甲第31轮主场对沃尔夫斯堡。

These three games are over, and then the first round of the semi-finals of the Champions League will be played against Atletico Madrid at home on April 4.

The schedule for this period is also very tight. The biggest advantage is that after the away game against Hannover 96, Hamburg will usher in three consecutive home games. This way, there is no need to waste too much time on the road, and the players can get a better rest. .

When Pan Yi played against Hannover 96, he sent those players who failed to play against Manchester United to avoid the accumulation of fatigue.

But Hamburg met fierce resistance at the AWD Arena, home of Hannover 96.

Less than a minute into the game, Hannover 1 striker Jakonan tested Hamburg goalkeeper Navas with a long shot.

Then Hamburg returned the favor. In the 9th minute, De Bruyne went straight, Lin Zhijian knocked back in an inverted triangle, and Mitrovic followed up with a push and was blocked by Hannover 96 goalkeeper Ziller.

In the 32nd minute, Makoto Hasebe took a cold shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar and popped out.

In the first half, both sides failed to score 0:0.

But in the 47th minute of the second half, shortly after the start of the second half, Hamburg made a quick counterattack.

De Bruyne sent a through pass again, Mitrovic passed Hiroki Sakai who was defending, and pushed with his right foot ten meters in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Hamburg.

Hannover 96 then launched a fierce attack, but it has been fruitless and failed to score.

But just when everyone thought that Hamburg had won yet another affordable away victory, Stindl took a corner kick in stoppage time and forward Bittencourt headed it in. Help Hannover 96 equalize the score!
This is also an absolute goal. In the end, Hannover 96 drew with Hamburg 1:1 at home.

For such a score, Pan Yi was actually a little unhappy.

After all, the team seemed a little less focused at the last moment of the game, resulting in the 3 points in hand turned into 1 point, which will definitely make people uncomfortable.

And the next game is more critical than the next game. If Bayern catch up with the points at this time, Hamburg will become more and more passive, and Pan Yi will also be limited in his choice of formation.

So, has Bayern caught up with the points?
No.

Hey, why did you say "no" again?

Bayern Munich's opponent in this round is Dortmund, the bitter master of the past few years!
Although Bayern is playing at home, the two-year unbeaten Bundesliga myth at the Allianz Arena seems to have lost its magic since it was broken by Hamburg.

They lost to Dortmund and lost a lot!
For Bayern, Rafinha, Martinez and Piggy, who were suspended in the Champions League in the middle of the week, returned to the starting lineup. Captain Lahm moved forward in midfield, and Kroos, Muller, and Boateng switched to substitutes.

And Dortmund will also play Wolfsburg in the German Cup in 3 days. If they advance, they may compete with Hamburg for the championship.

So Klopp made some lineup adjustments in this game.

Lewandowski was hidden, Royce came forward, Hoffman was the rear midfielder, Aubameyang played on the left, captain Kyle and Shaheen formed a double midfielder, Jokic and Kirsch returned bench.

Gross Kreutz switched to right back to replace Piszczek and Papastashopoulos replaced Friedrich.

In the opening 10 minutes, Martinez fouled Aubameyang tactically and was given a yellow card.

In the 14th minute, Kyle handballed and Alaba took a free kick with his left foot 30 meters in front of the goal and missed the right corner.

In the 19th minute, Lahm returned a pass, and Gotze pushed a shot 13 meters in front of the goal and was blocked by Hummels. Hummels seemed to handball, but slow motion confirmed that the ball hit him on the head.

Bayern had 20% possession of the ball in the first 80 minutes, but it didn't seem to work.

Instead, Dortmund took the lead in the 20th minute!

Hoffman threw a sideline ball from the right, Aubameyang did it back, Royce knocked directly to the left in the penalty area, Mkhitaryan rubbed his left foot into the far corner 10 meters in front of the goal, 0:1!

This is also the fifth consecutive official game in which Bayern Munich has conceded a goal.

The last time this happened was back in 2001...

2 minutes later, Mkhitaryan scored the ball, and Aubameyang volleyed vigorously from the edge of the penalty area on the left side, but Neuer pushed it out of the near corner.

In the 25th minute, Ram scored the ball and Gotze's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked.

In the 43rd minute, Rafinha picked a pass from the right, and Mandzukic volleyed sideways from 12 meters in front of the goal, but Weidenfeller fell to the ground and confiscated it.

In the first half, Dortmund took a goal away away.

In the second half, Neuer felt tense muscles in his right calf. Guardiola adjusted the goalkeeper for the sake of caution. The 20-year-old Reid, who entered the Bundesliga squad for the first time, played in an emergency.

In the 49th minute, Franck Ribery lost the ball in the backcourt, Mkhitaryan quickly counterattacked a diagonal pass, Aubameyang made a return from the right side of the penalty area, Royce shoveled into the lower left corner 11 meters in front of the goal, 0:2!

In the 54th minute, Mandzukic received a pass from Robben and hit high on the right side of the penalty area.

In the 55th minute, Hoffman passed the ball, and Royce shot from the left side of the penalty area and was confiscated by Reid.

One minute later, Papastathopoulos made a 1-meter long pass from the right side of the backcourt. Hoffman stopped the ball for offside to form a single shot. He shot into the upper left corner with a semi-volley 60 meters in front of the goal, 13:0!

Then the two sides changed one after another.

For Bayern, Müller replaced Ribery, while Klopp replaced Hoffman with Lewandowski.

In the 69th minute Kroos came on for Arjen Robben and then Friedrich came on for Hummels.

In the 71st minute, Gotze stabbed to the right, and Mandzukic hit the side net with a low shot 9 meters from the goal!

One minute later, Gotze made a low pass from the left, and Xiaozhu shot low with his left foot 1 meters in front of the goal and missed the right post.

In the 76th minute, Shaheen made a direct pass, and Aubameyang broke into the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area and 11 meters away from the goal. Reid blocked a strong oblique shot and hit the side net from a small angle.

Dortmund then replaced Aubameyang with Jojic.

In the 80th minute, Kroos hooked Lewandowski from behind and was warned by a yellow card.

In the 83rd minute, Mkhitaryan fouled Rafinha and also received a yellow card. Cross made a diagonal free kick from the right. Mandzukic pushed into the lower right corner 9 meters in front of the goal, but was sentenced to offside first.

In the 90th minute, Mandzukic got the ball in the penalty area and was tackled by Friedrich. Gotze's low shot 10 meters from the right side of the goal was blocked by Weidenfeller.

In stoppage time, Rafinha and Mkhitaryan lost their composure, touched each other's face with their hands, and were sent off with a red card.

It is worth noting that when the two teams clashed last season, Rafinha was also sent off for elbowing Bvaszczykowski and poking the opponent in the face when he was off the field.

This is a feud!
In the end, the German national derby with sparks came to an end. Bayern lost 0 to 3 at home to Dortmund and suffered a 2-game losing streak in the league!

This is Bayern Munich's first 2-game losing streak in three seasons, and it is also the first time in Guardiola's coaching career that he has lost more than 2 goals at home!
And such a result also made Hamburg, which lost 2 points before the whistle, inexplicably expanded its lead again!
Now they lead Bayern by as much as 7 points!
There are only four rounds left in the Bundesliga.

In other words, as long as Hamburg can score more than 6 points in the next four games, they can win the Bundesliga championship this season!

This advantage also allows Hamburg players to meet the midweek German Cup semi-finals with a more relaxed attitude.

Their opponent is Kaiserslautern.

Domestic fans know this team mainly because of the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern" that year.

The creator of the Kaiserslautern miracle is the famous coach Rehhagel.

In 1997, Rehhagel took over the Kaiserslautern team that had been relegated to the second division. He led the team back to the first division in the first year, and pushed the newly promoted team to the Bundesliga championship in the second year. , Created a myth in world football.

——As an aside, Rehhagel also created a more legendary Greek myth, that is, in the 2004 European Cup, he led the grassroots team Greece to win the European Cup!
Another deep impression of Longguo fans on them was the last round of the Bundesliga in the 1998-99 season.

At that time, Frankfurt, where Yang Chen played, was still in the No.3 relegation zone from the bottom. At that time, the bottom three in the Bundesliga would be directly relegated.

The opponent Frankfurt faced in the last game was Kaiserslautern.

In the 47th minute, Yang Chen inserted into the right side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle to the upper corner to open the scoring. This is a fond memory that countless Dragon Kingdom fans have always remembered.

In this game, Frankfurt also beat Kaiserslautern 5:1, and squeezed out Nuremberg with a slight advantage in the number of goals, successfully relegation!
At this time, Kaiserslautern not only lost the strength to compete for the championship, but also declined year by year. Later, it also became a fight for relegation, and finally ended in relegation in the 2005-06 season.

Although they were promoted back to the First Division in 2010, they returned to the Second Division in the 2012-13 season.

In other words, the Kaiserslautern team that Hamburg is facing now is an ordinary Bundesliga team.

Although they accidentally eliminated Bayern with a penalty kick in the quarter-finals, there is still a certain gap with Hamburg in terms of strength.

In this game, Kaiserslautern used a more defensive 41221 formation, trying to strictly guard the middle, making Hamburg's attack difficult.

But Hamburg's goal in just 5 minutes broke Kaiserslautern's illusion.

Carvajal made a pass from the right, and Vardy scored a goal in the middle, giving Hamburg a 1-0 lead.

After opening the scoring account, Hamburg was out of control and scored four goals in a row in the first and second halves, while Kaiserslautern only scored one goal before the whistle by striker Zoller.

In the end, Hamburg beat Kaiserslautern 5:1 at home and advanced to the German Cup final!
In the other semi-final, Dortmund, who was in good form, played with all the main players at the Wittersfalenstadion.

In the first half, goals from Mkhitaryan and Lewandowski gave Dortmund a 2-0 lead over Wolfsburg.

And this score was maintained until the end.

Thus, Hamburg and Dortmund joined forces in the final of the German Cup!
……

As the semi-final date with Atletico Madrid approaches, it would be a lie to say that Pan Yi has no psychological pressure.

After all, he is no different from other coaches in the world now.

The system he obtained through travel is not a panel that can directly add status to players, or have a panel that adjusts values, morale, and status.

He just has more knowledge and more advanced tactical awareness, so he will be better and more comprehensive.

But in the end, the result of the game still needs to be implemented by his players, and the result of the implementation is beyond the control of Pan Yi as a coach.

For example, the state of Hamburg recently is actually average.

Although they won both the Champions League and the German Cup, they ushered in a wave of three consecutive draws in the Bundesliga, and a victory is hard to come by.

Had it not been for Bayern's performance in the same period to be even more sluggish, Hamburg's points would have been surpassed long ago.

Of course, the fact that these two championship teams stepped on the brakes at the same time also shows how much pressure there is on teams fighting on multiple fronts at the end of the season.

Even if you have a good lineup, even if you have good physical fitness and a good rotation, there are always ups and downs in the state and spirit of the players.

When your "volt" meets other people's "rise", winning will become difficult.

Pan Yi's psychological pressure also comes from this.

Now it's time for the final sprint, and there really can't be any more problems!
In the next 10 days, it will be decided whether Hamburg can continue to compete for honors this season, or fall short.

4月20日德甲第31轮，四天后4月24日是欧冠半决赛第一回合。

然后两天后，也就是4月26日就是德甲第32轮，紧接着4月30日的欧冠半决赛第二回合！
The four games in 10 days are the key!
Therefore, as the head coach, Pan Yi needs to carefully study opponents, formulate tactics, and also pay attention to the state, physical fitness and mental condition of the players in the team, and maintain communication with each other at any time to stimulate the best combat effectiveness of the team.

Really a little tired!

In many cases, the pressure of the head coach cannot be understood or shared by outsiders.

Fortunately, Pan Yi also has excellent coaches like Nagelsmann, Inzaghi and Pintus around him, who can help him share a lot of daily training matters.

But the final tactics still need to be formulated by Pan Yi.

"You go to sort out Atletico Madrid's recent key games in the past few days. I need to know the running distance, number of passes, pass success rate and other data of each of their players..."

In the head coach's office, Pan Yi called Nagelsmann to give orders.

In his heart, the Bundesliga games are important, but he still values ​​the Champions League semi-finals most.

There is still a seven-point lead in the Bundesliga, and Hamburg is allowed to make a little mistake, but the Champions League does not allow any problems!

Especially in the face of a cunning "bandit" like Simeone, once something is not done well, he is likely to be shot down by his back arrow.

"Oh, do you mean the two Champions League matches between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea? I have already prepared it." Nagelsman said with confidence, "I will get their data later..."

"No, not these two games." Pan Yi waved his hand, "Go find their recent match against Real Madrid and Barcelona. It's useless against Chelsea."

"Oh." Nagelsman didn't quite understand at first, but soon understood Pan Yi's intentions.

Mourinho's Chelsea and Simeone's Atletico Madrid, the two teams play a bit like a duel between masters in Gu Long's novels. Often, whoever makes the first move will leak the flaw and lose.

"Late come and come first" is often the true meaning of their anti-kickback method.

They don't need the ball, and they don't need the control of the scene. They only pursue the moment of explosion after stealing the ball during defense, and seal the throat with a sword!
Obviously, Hamburg is not Chelsea, and now Hamburg is very focused on controlling the ball.

In the current La Liga, Barcelona is undoubtedly the team closest to Hamburg's style of play. It is indeed more practical to use their game against Atletico Madrid as a reference.

Although Ancelotti's Real Madrid is not considered a possession flow, it is also very aggressive. It is definitely not like Chelsea or Atletico Madrid.

So Pan Yi asked Nagelsmann to sort out the data of these two games, which can help him better analyze Simeone's current tactics.

Of course, there is another purpose of watching Real Madrid's game, that is, they also entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, so they are also a potential final opponent.

"Atletico Madrid's last two games... they tied Barcelona 0-0 and Real Madrid 2-2. They are really good." Nagelsman checked the score on his mobile phone and saluted Pan Yi mischievously. A salute, "I'll go right away, I promise to complete the task, sir!"

"Go!" Pan Yi looked up at the wall clock on the wall, "It's almost time, I just want to meet someone..."

……

"To be honest, I don't want you guys to go to the Champions League final."

In a ramen restaurant in Hamburg, Pan Yi smiled and said to a bald man sitting across from him.

And this bald head seems to be the head coach of Bayern Munich, Guardiola.

Yes, the two current top two Bundesliga coaches who are fighting to the death for the championship are sitting leisurely eating ramen together.

"Are you afraid of losing to us?" Guardiola also laughed.

While speaking, he awkwardly inserted the chopsticks in his hand into the plate in front of him, trying to pick up the ramen inside.

He is a Spaniard working in Germany, how can he use chopsticks?

The main reason is that Guardiola chatted with Pan Yi on the phone last night about the loss to Dortmund, and then talked about tactics for a long time.

For Guardiola, who is obsessed with tactical research, although this is a bit outrageous, it is not particularly outrageous.

Who made Pan Yi's tactics always make him feel particularly awesome?

In the Bundesliga, Guardiola has actually conceded.

Four games, seven points behind, Hamburg's remaining opponents do not have any problems, and Bayern's chances of catching up are really slim.

It was at this time that the two of them could let go of their competitive relationship in the league, and instead sat down to have a meal and chat as like-minded friends.

The focus of the chat is also the semi-finals of the Champions League that both of them are about to face.

What I didn't expect was that Pan Yi, who was supposed to be a landlord, just invited Guashuai to eat ramen...

"Of course not. Don't forget, I've won you twice this season, and I haven't played in the Bundesliga once." Pan Yi shook his head, "You know, I like the new and dislike the old, and I don't want to kick you four times in one season."

"If we reach the final, I don't want to kick you." Guardiola said truthfully, "In comparison, Atletico Madrid is still easier to deal with."

There was only one confrontation between Guardiola and Simeone. In February 2012, shortly after Simeone took over Atletico Madrid, Guardiola led Barcelona to defeat him 2:2.

But for Guardiola, he has been insisting on the pass-and-control style of play. Every time he faces an opponent, he plays a defensive counterattack, which can be regarded as a lot of experience.

Even if Simeone's 442 anti-reverse is the ultimate in this tactic, it is always the same routine.

It was much easier than dealing with Pan Yi's burger.

Because Guardiola can't always guess what kind of tactics Pan Yi will use and what kind of staffing will be used to target his tactics.

If Gua Shuai arranged tactics against Hamburg, would Pan Yi guess it, and then arrange targeted tactics according to Gua Shuai's tactics against Hamburg...

Infinite nesting dolls.

Then Gua Shuai will fall into endless thinking and entanglement.

"Really? Easy to deal with? Then tell me how to deal with Atletico Madrid?" Pan Yi asked casually.

He will consider these two semi-finals with Atletico Madrid whenever he is free during this time, but there is no particularly good way yet.

Now ask Guardiola's opinions and suggestions, maybe there will be good inspiration.

"Actually, it's nothing special. The 442 he used is mainly because he has a group of all-around midfielders who can play in any position and take on any responsibilities." Guardiola said, "In this case, their strength on the field The transition between offense and defense is very easy, and of course the attack power of the two forwards is also very strong."

Pan Yi nodded.

What Gua Shuai is saying now is indeed what Pan Yi has already understood.

Guardiola then added:
"In the traditional formation of four backs with double defensive midfielders, it is the most basic principle to increase the ball out of the backcourt to destroy the opponent's high press, and Simeone follows this principle without exception."

"In the ball stage of the backcourt, one defensive midfielder retreats to the top of the arc of the penalty area and forms a three-central defender's point of attack with the double central defenders. At the same time, the other defensive midfielder and the left and right midfielders retreat to the center to form a midfield contact point. , and maintain the balance of the overall formation."

"The position of the left and right full-backs is moved to near the center line, and the height is almost parallel to the opponent's second line of defense. On the one hand, by expanding the passing angle, the ball can be quickly advanced to the midfield position; on the other hand, it can also contain the opponent's second line of defense. The overall forward pressure."

"By widening the distance between the opponent's striker and midfielder, destroying the opponent's high-position press, and magnifying the number advantage of our own backcourt, at the same time, the adduction of the left and right midfielders also protects and fills the space behind the fullback... "

"Simeone's Atletico Madrid is considered the strongest in Europe. He is able to use the most common and practical tactics to the extreme. I admire him for this."

"So, I still suggest that you control the scene first, and then find a way to use the method of pulling on both sides to destroy his defensive tactics, and then open up the space, and then seek opportunities to score..."

What Guardiola said later feels a bit dry.

Seeing Pan Yi nodding his head frequently and thinking sideways, Guardiola smiled again: "But in fact, I guess you know all of this. And when playing with Simeone's team, tactics are often not the first priority." .”

Pan Yi asked: "How do you say?"

"When playing against his team, there will always be a feeling of fighting on the battlefield." Guardiola described:

"He will put a lot of pressure on you, so that you don't have any space to think."

"When you compete against him, you have to do everything to the best, to the extreme, and not leave him the slightest loophole."

"Otherwise, he will always have a way to give you the most fatal blow in a place you don't expect!"

"Don't forget, there are two world-class strikers in front of Atletico Madrid, Villa and Diego Costa, they are both good at seizing opportunities..."

Pan Yi certainly understands what Guardiola said.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid has always been famous for its iron blood, tenacity, and tenacity.

To compete with them, you have to stand up and not be cowardly!
Pan Yi suddenly smiled and said, "You said you hope Atletico Madrid will enter the final, but at the same time you gave me some advice. What are you thinking?"

"I just want you..." Guardiola pointed helplessly at the chopsticks in his hand, "Can you teach me how to use this magical tableware? I'm so hungry, but I haven't even eaten the noodles yet! "

Pan Yi: "..."
