In the afternoon, Pan Yi was at the training ground, and was pulled into the office by Chairman Yahoff to chat for a while.

In fact, after the game last night, Yakhoff had already praised Pan Yi, but today he was still unsatisfied.

"You did a great job at the press conference last night, haha." Yahoff said excitedly, "In just one day, the season ticket sales at our home stadium have increased by 30% compared to the same period last year, and our team has a high exposure in major media and is very popular!" ”

As the president of the club, he certainly hopes that Hamburg, a century-old club, can become the world's top like Milan and Bayern.

The audience, the attention of the media, including the number of overseas fans, are all important measures.

And now it seems that after Pan Yi led the team to play the first Bundesliga game, Hamburg took a small step in the direction that Jakhoff wanted.

Pan Yi smiled: "It's not because of your support? I can say whatever I want. ”

This is also true.

In some clubs, the chairman or director will ask the manager not to talk nonsense to the outside world to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

But in Hamburg, Pan Yi has no such restrictions.

"You're right, of course I'll support you." Yahoff also smiled, "Of course, it's more important to win, and to win beautifully!" ”

"I will. So, if there are any injuries in the team, I want to ...... in the winter window."

"I support it too! The premise is ...... Can't spend too much money. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

With the current staffing, Pan Yi expects that there will definitely be some personnel problems after half a season.

That's why he asked the chairman for funding.

If you can replenish it in the winter window, it will be much easier to cope with the rest of the schedule, and you can gradually prepare for next season.

As for how much money can be had, and what level of people to supplement, we will talk about it when the time comes.

Hamburg has invested a lot this season, and Pan Yi is already very satisfied with such strong support.

Now that he had received the chairman's promise, Pan Yi went to the conference room happily.

Today the coaching staff is going to look at the next opponent in the Bundesliga.

Werder Bremen!

The coach of this team is Thomas Schaff, 51, who is already a godfather at Bremen.

He spent most of his football career in Werder Bremen, representing the club in 262 Bundesliga games between 1972 and 1995.

After retiring as a player, Schaff worked as a coach at Bremen, succeeding Magath as Bremen manager in August 1999.

He quickly led the team to the 1999 German Cup and reached the pinnacle of his coaching career in 2004.

In that year, Bremen beat Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga and cup double!

As of this year, Schaff has been in charge of Bremen for 13 years.

He is a coach who believes in attacking football, and he once said: "It's easier to put all 11 people together to defend than to organise an attack, but that's no fun." ”

Therefore, although Bremen's strength has declined in recent years, and it is no longer possible to have anything to do with winning the championship or even reaching the top of the standings, Schaff still insists on attacking play.

In the first round of the Bundesliga away against Dortmund, Bremen lined up a 433 attack formation to attack the Hornets.

Although they were defeated 1-2, Schaff's Bremen still earned the respect of the fans and the media.

And Pan Yi is more concerned about the fact that Schaaf's set of 433 is a bit similar to the method used by AC Milan last season!

The same combination of a midfielder and two central midfielders, the same combination of a center forward and two wingers, the pressure requirements for the front court are also very high.

Then, the Sampdoria against Milan that Pan Yi just watched can come in handy immediately!

“…… Guys, how can we take advantage of the weakness of the opponent's lack of a midfielder to mobilize the opponent's midfield, I have already explained. Now, let me say another point that needs to be noted. ”

Pan Yi pointed to the tactical board and said loudly:

"To break down the opposition's defence, it's not just about attracting the opposition's midfielders. We also need to effectively mobilize the overall defence of the 433 formation by allowing the opposition midfielders and strikers to move, so as to achieve an efficient and rapid attack. ”

"After the opponent's high pressing and grabbing the ball failed, we should use our own backfield area, through the fullback's big foot and long pass, to find the strong attacking side with numerical advantage on the other side in a diagonal way."

"Since there are only three players in the midfield of the 433 formation, the team obviously does not cover and protect the width of the pitch, so we can use this way to complete the movement of Bremen players and make the formation loose."

"As an aside, if the opponent uses a formation with wing-backs like 442, then the players in the full-back position can intercept our players who are about to win the ball as soon as possible, and this style of play is not easy to develop. So this style of play is only for the 3 midfielders. ”

At this time, Nagelsmann, who was listening and thinking carefully, raised his hand and said: "But what if the player on the other side has been targeted at this time and can't get the ball?" What are we going to do? ”

Pan Yi nodded, knocked on the side of the tactical board and said, "That's right, experienced coaches will immediately find out about our style of play and send someone to mark it." That's where our Vardy comes in handy. The full-back can pass the ball to the centre-forward at this point, where he can transition and then pass the ball to the winger who has been inserted at high speed on the wing. ”

'The opposition midfielders and defenders are in a situation where they are struggling to defend like this, one second the ball is still in our backfield, and the next two seconds the ball is already on our attacking side.

"Such a wide diagonal shift would cause Bremen's defensive centre of gravity to swing back and forth between left and right, and any team will inevitably make mistakes in the face of diagonal connection transfers."

"And their single midfielder would be useless in such a defence. Because he alone is weak in the midfield, and he can't do a certain limit on our passing, which is the main embodiment of the disadvantages of the single back system when switching from attack to defense. ”

Inzaghi also nodded heavily: "I understand." But in such a tactical play, it seems that only full-backs and forwards are at work? So what should our midfielders do? ”

Pan Yi said with a smile: "Of course, the midfield is very important, needless to say, the protection of the middle of the double back is needless to say, I will focus on the position of the front midfield." ”

"Not only does he have to help the team when attacking, but when the team is playing a positional defense, the players in the forward position also need to be fully involved in the team's overall defense and quickly integrate into the team's overall defensive structure."

"Especially when our 4231 formation presses against 433 in the frontcourt, the requirements for the forward players will be more demanding."

"When attacking, you have to have a certain ability to dominate the ball, but also to run a lot without the ball, and when defending, you must not only have a certain overall defensive awareness, but also observe the situation around your teammates at all times, and give strong support to your teammates when the team is in danger......

In the end, Pan Yi smiled again:

'Of course, I believe our striker, Kevin De Bruyne, can do that. I'll talk to him tomorrow too. ”

Thank you for the reward from my horse for feeding the sheep!
