Despite the fact that a week has passed, the Hamburg players do not seem to be coming out of the gloom of the 9-2 defeat at the feet of Bayern Munich. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the first six minutes of the first half at home to Freiburg on 7 April, a cross from the wing was headed by attacking midfielder Jonathanschmid after a pass mistake by left-back Janssen.

Although the Hamburg team, which conceded a goal first, immediately launched a fierce attack on the opponent's hinterland, but under the opponent's tight defense, the in-form Hamburg players not only failed to equalize in the first half of the game, but also because of several unnecessary pass errors, the Freiburg team seized the opportunity to counterattack and go to the next city.

In fact, Freiburg's defensive strategy was not brilliant at all. It's just that on the basis of the full line of defense, the two wing knives of the Hamburg team are pressed by defense, especially on the left side, and at least two defenders are kept to cover him. At the same time, two defenders were deployed at the edge of the penalty area to allow them to cooperate with the defenders at any time to prevent Feng Quan and Son Heung-min from cutting inside the goal.

If this strategy had been reversed two weeks ago, when the Hamburg players were in good form, he would not have been completely unable to break through the opposition defence, even if the wind was fully attacking the two-man attack. However, when other teammates, especially Son Heung-min as a right winger, were not in good form and could not provide strong help to Feng Quan, Freiburg put most of their defensive energy on Feng Quan.

Therefore, even if Feng Quan was able to rely on his advantage in speed and strength, he reluctantly used the method of "violent breakthrough" to get rid of the opponent's bag defense. But after he completed the in-cut and was about to hit the goal, he would inevitably encounter interference from the other party.

As a result, when Feng Quan, the only strong point that performed normally, was also restricted by the opponent, the Hamburg team's attack fell into the embarrassing situation of having an advantage in possession but never really threatening the opponent's goal.

In this way, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, most of the players of the Hamburg team walked into the players' tunnel with a dejected face......

Looking at Feng Quan, who once again forced a breakthrough through the opponent's bag defense on the field, and then cut inside to the front of the big penalty area to complete a kick, Guardiola, who was sitting in the stands of the Northern Bank Stadium, couldn't help frowning.

Then, Guardiola wrote a comment in the small notebook he carried with him:

speed, power, world-class;

Personal technology, dribbling ability, quasi-world-class;

Attacking meaning, running awareness, the average level of Bundesliga players;

defensive awareness, failing;

……

Then, when Guardiola was ready to write down the last item, he hesitated a little when he read the ability of the game.

However, Feng Quan's choice in the next attack made the Spaniard write a comment that "he can read the game and is difficult to play as a core player for the time being".

At that time, Feng Quan had just received a pass from his teammate on the left side of the front field, and in addition to the right wing-back Oliver Sauerger (Olivers) of the Freiburg team, who had been sticking to him, the right midfielder Danielcaligiuri (Danielcaligiuri) also quickly leaned over.

Seeing that Feng Quan was caught in a double bag, the midfielder who had just passed the ball to his midfielder Badelli quickly moved towards him near the center circle.

At the same time, Van der Vaart, who was previously excellent at the front of the Freiburg team's penalty area, also immediately turned around and approached Fengquan in order to respond at any time.

With Van der Vaart still following a Freiburg defender when he moved, Feng Quan's best option at this point was to pass the ball to Badelli, who was temporarily unmarked, and then find space with a quick run to pick up a pass from a team-mate.

In fact, even if Feng Quan chooses to pass the ball to Van der Vaart, Guardiola will probably rate his "ability to read the game" a little higher.

Unfortunately, instead of passing the ball to his teammates who stepped forward to receive him, Feng Quan accelerated sharply and rushed towards the direction of the baseline. Then, with about two meters from the baseline, he sent a cross into the box with his left foot.

If it were like Bayern Munich, a team with a strong center forward in the penalty area, and a cross after the wind broke through, it might be a good choice.

However, the reality is that not only are Hamburg's forward line not strong centre-forwards, but even Rudnevs, who is the most "strong" in his body, was replaced by Bayster, who is more adept at playing on the wing, because he sprained his ankle during pre-match training.

So, when Feng Quan chose to cross into the penalty area, he didn't use any small moves from Freiburg's central defender Falloudiagne, and saw that Best, who hit his body, was "popped" far away as if he had hit a rock......

Although Hamburg were behind in the first half, head coach Fink did not criticize his players too hard when he returned to the dressing room. On the contrary, he also encouraged them to try to save the situation in the second half.

Immediately after that, adjustments began to be made for the second half of the game.

First of all, he asked Feng Quan to switch positions with Van der Vaart and Son Heung-min as much as possible in the second half of the game. Especially when he comes to the middle, as long as he enters the opponent's 30-meter area, he can try to threaten the opponent's goal with a long-range shot.

At the same time, Fink also instructed Feng Quandao: "Once you break through the opponent's defense on the wing, don't force your shot if it's not in a good position or if it's hard to get off your feet under the interference of the opponent. In this way, not only can you not really threaten the opponent's goal, but you may even be counterattacked by the opponent. So, you can try to induce a foul on the edge of the box so that you can help Rafael create a free-kick opportunity. ”

As the so-called authorities are fans, although Feng Quan's personal breakthrough ability is very good, in fact, his playing style is not as unique as his "template" Peter Pan Robben. The reason why he rarely sought cooperation with his teammates in the first half of the game was mainly because the other teammates were not in good shape, which caused Feng Quan to be more willing to believe in himself in the attack.

At this time, after Fink's little touch, Feng Quan really realized his problem in the first half of the game.

After Xiang Fengquan, Van der Vaart and other starters made corresponding deployments, Fink replaced Bester who was sleepwalking in the first half of the game with Cachar, who played in the back position.

Although Cachar's small skills in the penalty area are rough and his shooting skills are really not complimentary, with his strong body, he can still rub more than enough if he only plays a fulcrum role in the opponent's penalty area.

When Fink decided to replace Cachar as the fulcrum of the team's frontcourt, he instructed Feng Quan and Son Heung-min: "...... If the chances of cutting inside to the middle are not very good, you have to resolutely break through the bottom line, and then when you cross to the penalty area, you prefer to choose Cachar as the fulcrum of attack...... At the same time, when one of you chooses to cross the bottom, the other must step in resolutely to the middle and be ready to fight for the second spot. Or lie in ambush near the top of the arc of the penalty area, ready to shoot from outside the box......"

After Fink's adjustment at half-time, the second half started with Hamburg's attack clearly more dangerous than the first.

In particular, Cachar, who came on as a substitute in the second half, made Freiburg's backline feel uncomfortable.

Although, Cachar's height and weight are inferior to Freiburg's two central backs. However, Kachar, who was born into a famous boxing family in Serbia, has a strong physical fitness and a tough style.

And Cachar, who has a good bounce, can often get the head of the game in the fight for high-altitude balls, even when facing opponents who are significantly taller than him.

As a result, with Cachar as the offensive fulcrum, the Hamburg team has another option in the attack.

As a result, Freiburg's defensive leaks in the second half of the game gradually increased.

In fact, the overall strength of the Freiburg team is actually a bit behind the Hamburg team. If it weren't for the fact that Hamburg suffered a 9-2 defeat at the feet of Bayern Munich in the last round of the league, which led to a relatively low morale and affected their form in the game, Freiburg would have struggled to take the lead on the road.

After Fink's adjustment at halftime, the threat to Freiburg's goal gradually increased, and the players on the field of the Hamburg team gradually regained their form.

Especially the attack on the two wings, after adding the fulcrum of Cachar in the penalty area, whether it is Feng Quan on the left or Son Xingmin on the right, it has caused headaches for the defenders of the Freiburg team.

In the first half of the game, due to the weak ability of Hamburg's starting striker Best's header ability, Freiburg's head coach ChristianStreich (ChristianStreich) will let the team's defenders focus on Feng Quan and Son Xingmin's in-cut shots. As for the low cross from the wing, it took a laissez-faire attitude.

And in the second half, after seeing the embarrassment of the team's two central defenders when facing Cachar, Streich, who still had a calm and breezy face in the first half of the game, couldn't help frowning.

In desperation, Streich had no choice but to replace Falloudiagne, who was tragically "abused" by Cachar, with Johannesflum. Then he pulled Julianschuster, who was the team's top player on the pitch and could play both as a midfielder and a centre-back, back into the box and let him mark Cachar.

Although Schuster's retreat limited Cachar's fulcrum role to a certain extent. But at the same time, Schuster's retreat also made Freiburg's defensive ability in the middle of the midfield sharply reduced.

It was also taking advantage of the defensive vacuum left by Schuster in the front of the box after Schuster retreated to the penalty area that the threat of Hamburg's attack in the middle began to gradually increase.

In the 21st minute of the second half, after Fink's halftime break, Feng Quan forced a break through the side and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, and saw the opponent's central defender Matthiasginter (Matthiasginter) and Fram, who had just come on the field, and pounced at the same time to interfere with his own shot.

So, after Feng Quan dangled a shot, he was ready to continue to dribble the ball horizontally, wait for a little space to dodge before attacking the goal, or directly trick the opponent into fouling.

Sure enough, not long after his debut, Fram, who had not yet fully adapted to the rhythm of the field, made a fierce flying tackle when Feng Quan made a fake shot.

Then, when the right foot had already completed a lateral toggle and the left foot was brought to the ground by Fram's very good wind, it won a direct free kick for Hamburg that was a little to the left, about 234 meters from the goal.

At the same time as the referee blew the foul whistle, Fram, who seemed to have tackled the wind, showed a yellow card.

However, although Van der Vaart's free-kick shocked Freiburg's goalkeeper in a cold sweat, the ball eventually flew off the bottom line after hitting the eaves of the post......

After the start of the second half of the game, with the obvious improvement of the state of the Hamburg players on the field, Guardiola, who was still frowning more than 20 minutes ago, gradually smiled on his face.

Although Pep Guardiola didn't care about what Hamburg manager Fink said at half-time. However, judging from the obvious improvement in the game form of the Hamburg players and the change in attacking tactics, it can be seen that Fink's adjustment is very targeted.

Even if the Spaniards don't care about Hamburg's win or defeat in this game, they can't help but be interested in Fink's ability to adjust in the game, and Pep Guardiola, who will coach Bayern Munich next season.

In particular, the change of Fengquan in the second half of the game made Guardiola a little impressed with Fink.

Although it can't be said that Feng Quan's performance in the first half of the game was not good enough, his choice to force inside the goal many times in the attack was not very reasonable.

After the second half of the game, although Feng Quan still often chooses to break through the inward cut in the attack, unlike the relatively single "inward cut must shoot" in the first half of the game, the current Feng Quan will not choose to attack the goal reluctantly if the opponent interferes. Instead, they will choose to pass the ball to a teammate in a better position, or continue to choose a handicap to induce the opponent to foul and thus give the team a chance to win a free kick.

Not only that, but when Hamburg's attack had Cachar as a fulcrum, Feng Quan broke through to a cross near the bottom line, which almost helped Hamburg equalize.

So, in the second half of the game, after seeing that Fengquan gradually began to change for the better, some of the contents of the notebook that Guardiola carried with him also quietly changed......

The constant "yellow lights" on the front of the Freiburg team's penalty area finally made Streich a little unable to sit still.

However, just as he was about to replace a striker with a midfielder in order to strengthen his team's midfield defence, he switched positions with Son Heung-min and moved to Feng Quan on the right flank, but once again won a free-kick in a very good position for Hamburg.

Although the free-kick was a little further away than the one Van der Vaart hit the post before. However, because of the closer relationship to the middle, Van der Vaart can choose a wider angle when taking the penalty.

Sure enough, Van der Vaart, as Fengquan's "free kick teacher", did not fail to live up to the second opportunity created for him by his disciples.

When the referee blew the whistle to signal that the penalty could begin, Van der Vaart took two steps forward before curling a ball with the inside of his left foot.

The next moment, after jumping over a wall of six Freiburg players, the ball began to fall rapidly under the stunned gaze of goalkeeper Oliver Bowmann who leapt into the air.

Immediately afterward, the ball was seen to hit the post on the right side of the goal and bounce back into the goal.

With 32 minutes of the second half, Hamburg finally scored a hard-fought equaliser with a free-kick from Van der Vaart......
