The game is about to begin, and the starting lineups of both sides are already playing in the center of the screen.

Both sides lined up a 4231 formation.

Away Nuremberg:

Center: Porter.

Front: Franz, Hiroshi Kiyotake, Eswein.

Defenders: Simmons, Balic.

Defenders: Pinola, Nelsson, Tim Klose, Chandler.

Goalkeeper: Schaefer.

Home Hamburg:

Centre-forward: Jamie Vardy.

Front: Son Xingmin, De Bruyne, Wu Lei.

Defenders: Casemiro, Makoto Hasebe.

Defenders: Ogo, Rudiger, Kjaer, Carvajal.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

And this lineup of Hamburg is the real main force in Pan Yi's mind!

Among the starting 11, except for left winger Son Xingmin and left-back Ogo were originally in Hamburg's original team, the remaining nine were all bought by Pan Yi in the summer window.

Of course, in the position of left-back, Pan Yi still considered the candidate.

In fact, winger Janssen, including central defender captain Westerman, can play this position, but in the end Pan Yi decided to let Ogo play the main team.

The 25-year-old, who was selected for the German national team for the 2010 World Cup, is also a fringe figure in the national team.

In the third and fourth place finals of the World Cup in South Africa, Germany defeated Uruguay 3-2 to win the third place in the World Cup, and Ogo was only given the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the 86th minute of the second half to make his World Cup debut.

And this is also the only appearance of Ogo in this World Cup.

Compared to Janssen and Westerman, Ogo has better speed, crosses and passing skills, and of course he is a little younger, which is what Pan Yi values.

Although in Pan Yi's 4231 formation, the responsibility of attacking at the back falls more on the right fullback Carvajal, but the left side cannot be pulled down too much.

And once Carvajal is plugged in, and Ogo needs to form a back three with Rudiger and Kjaer, his good flexibility and defensive ability can also add a safety to Hamburg's defence.

Needless to say, the rest of the locations are not too much.

Not to mention that they will all be famous players in the future, even today, most of them have the ability to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga!

And after nearly two months of training and running-in, after getting familiar with the advanced tactical concepts taught by Pan Yi, Pan Yi is certainly confident that they will win Nuremberg at home today!

"The starting line-ups for both sides today were a bit interesting." Duan Xuan said with a smile, "Nuremberg's team includes the Japanese international Hiroshi Kiyotake, who has just transferred from Osaka Sakura, and the Hamburg side has Makoto Hasebe, Sun Xingmin, and of course, my country's young player Wu Lei. Coupled with Hamburg coach Pan Yi, this Bundesliga is simply an East Asian derby. ”

Zhang Lu sighed: "Yes." But this kind of East Asian derby, even the Japanese derby, the Korean derby is actually very common in the Bundesliga, and there are too many Japanese and Korean players here. This is also the key to the improvement of their national team. Fortunately, this season we saw Pan Yi in the Bundesliga, and we also saw Wu Lei he brought from China. I hope they can gain a firm foothold in the Bundesliga, and it can also inspire more domestic coaches and players to come out! Only when they all come out can there be hope for Dragon Country football......"

Duan Xuan: "I hope so. We also noticed that Coach Pan Yi's starting lineup this time was not the same player compared to the German Cup. What do you think about this kind of operation? ”

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "This seems to be Pan Yi's routine operation." He did that when Milan played Inter last season. The difference is that last time he played against Inter, he was on the bench, and this time, I think it should be the main force in his mind today. ”

Duan Xuan: "What Coach Zhang means is that Hamburg is a full substitute against Karlsruhe, but in fact, Coach Pan Yi is not ready to do anything in the German Cup? ”

Zhang Lu: "Yes, he may have given up the German Cup and focused entirely on the league because of the pressure on the team from the two-front battle. This also confirms our suspicion that they don't care about the defeat in the German Cup, and the league results are what they value the most......"

As the two spoke, the game began.

For the first ten or twenty minutes, the game was a stalemate.

Playing away from home, Nuremberg did not rush to attack at first, but first defended well and tested Hamburg's virtual reality.

Nuremberg's defense is still doing well.

Their back duo of Simmons and Balic are both seasoned veterans, and with their command combination, Nuremberg's four lines are kept tight and there is very little room to leak.

In attack, they relied on the deployment of Japan international Hiroshi Kiyotake to support centre-forward Bolt up front.

However, the main reason for the stalemate in the game is actually Hamburg.

The first is that Hamburg's defense is also doing well.

In the back position, Makoto Hasebe is also a veteran of the Bundesliga, and his defense is stable and reasonable.

Although Casemiro is a newcomer, he has been playing in the Brazilian league for two years, and he is young and old, and he has no stage fright.

The four men on the back line, except for Rudiger, who is a little younger, have a relatively tacit understanding between the other players, plus goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who often has wonderful performances, which makes it difficult for Nuremberg to penetrate their defence.

It's just that although Hamburg didn't let Nuremberg play a smooth attack, their own offensive coordination was not good.

The frontcourt players are still a little nervous!

Although Pan Yi let the players relax before the game, it was still completely different when he was actually on the field and played in the tsunami of tens of thousands of fans.

Especially Vardy and Wu Lei.

Both men have played for a few years, but neither has played in the top flight.

As soon as it came up, it was the offensive and defensive atmosphere of the Bundesliga, and it was difficult to adapt to it for a while.

In the case of psychological tension, technical actions are often not in place, so it is natural to make mistakes in coordination and cause the offense to be unable to play.

But after 20 minutes of play, the situation started to get better.

On the one hand, the young players have gradually become accustomed to this rhythm over time.

On the other hand, Pan Yi also kept reminding them on the sidelines, reminding them of how they felt during training and warm-up, and then quickly regained their form.

As a result, the offensive of Hamburg gradually began, and the Nuremberg side suddenly felt the pressure, and the scene fell a little towards the Hamburg side.

Nuremberg head coach Victorzinger unwittingly stood on the sidelines.

He found that when these young people in Hamburg ran up, this high oppression was simply a bit suffocating!

As soon as you lose the ball, you will fight back, and as soon as you grab the ball, you will counterattack, and the rhythm will be fast.

In such a fast pace, his players seem to be a little uncomfortable, and the ball is frequently lost.

Wissinger couldn't help but glance at the assistant coach next to him, Rahman.

Before the game, Rahman patted his chest and said that the burger was in control, but he didn't seem to hear him say that the other party's pace was so fast?

At this time, Rahman sat quietly on the bench and thought, pretending not to see Wissinger's gaze - could he tell the manager that he was kicked out of the team before he had even watched Hamburg's training seriously?

It didn't take long for Nuremberg's passive situation on the pitch to begin to bear fruit.

In the 28th minute, Hamburg took the lead in scoring the Nuremberg goal!

Right winger Wu Lei took the ball and forced a breakthrough through the defense of Nuremberg left-back Pinola with speed, rushed to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and crossed to the goal.

Jamie Vardy, who followed up in time in the middle, stepped forward to get the ball into the goal, before the opposition centre-back.

1:0, Hamburg leads at home!
