Chapter 154: Why is he smiling so happily
On the evening of September 1.
With a capacity of more than 40,000 fans, the Weser Stadium is already full.
The referee raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and decisively blew the whistle for the start of today's game.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Hamburg Sports. Welcome to the second round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, where Bremen hosts Hamburg. ”
Since CCTV5 chose to broadcast Bayern Munich's home match against Stuttgart today, it did not broadcast this game between middle and lower teams.
Although due to the existence of Pan Yi and Wu Lei, domestic TV stations will now give priority to Hamburg when choosing a broadcast team, they will still make concessions when they encounter a strong team matchup.
After all, even when Yang Chen was in Frankfurt, it was not broadcast every week.
'In the first few games this afternoon, promoted Eintracht Frankfurt came out in a big way, beating Hoffenheim 3-0 away.
"Schalke 04 beat Augsburg 3-1 at home, Bayer Leverkusen beat Freiburg 2-0."
Nuremberg, on the other hand, drew 1-1 at home to last year's champions Borussia Dortmund. It is worth noting that Nuremberg suffered a three-goal defeat to Hamburg in the first round, while Borussia Dortmund won against Bremen. ”
"In the second round, the two pairs swapped opponents and started playing against each other again. Judging from the scoreline, it seems to indicate that Hamburg will also go better in today's game? ”
"Although football is not a simple matter of adding or subtracting the scoreline, we have seen that Hamburg really has an anti-guest posture, and they are very active in pressing forward from the start."
"This is the tactical characteristic of Hamburg under Pan Yi in the first round, that is, a strong sense of pressure and a fast pace."
"It's up to Coach Schaff, who advocates attacking, whether his Bremen can play his own attacking routine in such a fast pace! ……”
Hamburg's starting line-up today is exactly the same as it was in the first round.
That's the benefit of giving up the German Cup.
Originally, the Bundesliga, which had only 18 teams in total, was relatively loose in terms of schedule, and in the case of single-line operations, it was almost once a week, and Pan Yi hardly had to think about the problem of rotation.
And now most of these young players are in good physical condition, full of momentum, and need playing time to practice, of course, let them play if they can.
On the other side, the home team's Bremen formation is indeed 433.
Forwards: Arnautovic, Petersen, Elia.
Midfielders: Acapala, Junuzovich, Honte.
Defenders: Fritz, Papastathopoulos, Pleddell, Selassie.
Goalkeeper: Militz.
It was clear that head coach Schaaf had studied Hamburg's style of play from the opening kick-off and was well prepared.
At first, he didn't take Hamburg hard, but asked his players to shrink the line, pay attention to the distance between the three lines, and then wait for the opportunity to hit Hamburg's counterattack.
This style of play was a bit unexpected, and it quickly paid off.
With less than 10 minutes played, Bremen formed an attacking link on the right flank.
They took advantage of Hamburg's left-back Ogo to be unable to get back on the ball and quickly handed the ball to striker Arnautovic on the right.
Arnautovic drove the ball straight into the penalty area, but was intercepted by Hamburg's central defender Rudiger, who came to make up for the defense, and quickly stopped to protect the ball, and then knocked the ball back to Hunte, who was inserted in the back row, and he rushed into the box as fast as he could.
Hunt adjusted slightly, and immediately took the ball diagonally to the middle of the edge of the six-yard box to find Petersen.
The German striker leaps high and nods his head.
Although the distance was close, Hamburg goalkeeper Keylor Navas reacted quickly and made a side save to keep the ball out.
The ball landed on the other side of the goal, right in front of Arnautovic, who was catching up!
The 23-year-old Austria international striker caught up and shot straight away!
At this time, Arnautovic was not disturbed by his side, and Navas could not get up to make a second reaction after making a save.
The ball was scored with ease!
1:0!
Less than ten minutes into the game, Bremen were leading at home!
Navas lay on the grass, looking feebly at the ball in the net, feeling very frustrated.
Arnautovic, on the other hand, excitedly ran to the stands and celebrated with the Bremen fans!
……
"It's okay, don't take it personally!"
Pan Yi saw the opponent's goal on the sidelines, and quickly stood up and applauded vigorously to boost the morale of the team.
The goal conceded so quickly, and it was Hamburg's first goal since the start of the league, it looked like the players were still quite hit.
"Steady! Cheer up, the game has just begun! ”
While cheering for his team, Pan Yi also began to call the captain of the field, Ogo, to the sidelines to teach him.
The goal just now was ostensibly because the gap left by Ogo after the assist was used by the opponent, but in fact, it was because the boys were too excited to come up and play, and they only cared about scrambling, and the position was a little messy.
Under normal circumstances, even if the full-back can't come back when the front is tackled, then a midfielder needs to fill his position.
But Casemiro was a bit far away from that side, which eventually led to the opposition striker facing our centre-backs directly, which ultimately led to the goal conceded.
As a young team, it's understandable to make mistakes like that sometimes.
As long as you can adjust quickly and play the tactics you prepared before the game, you can still win back.
In addition, Pan Yi also found that he seemed to underestimate his opponent a little.
Bremen's head coach Schaff is, after all, a meritorious manager who once led the team to win the Bundesliga title, and he still has something in his hands.
In his own 4231 formation, the weakest link at the moment is really the left wing-back.
Ogo's overall offense and defense can only be regarded as mediocre, including speed, technique, and passing technical indicators, all of which look like they are gone, but they don't have that amazing eye-catching.
Schaff must have studied Hamburg's first game before deciding to focus on this side of the counter-attack, and he succeeded.
So Pan Yi is now looking for Ogo to explain things, in addition to letting him convey his meaning to the players, it is also for him to reduce the frequency of assists a little and focus more on defense.
After explaining, Pan Yi turned his head to look at the home team's bench.
There, Saff had already finished celebrating with the players, turned his head to this side, and smiled at Pan Yi.
Pan Yi also smiled back politely, even brighter than Shafu's smile.
This came as a bit of a surprise to Schaaf.
Now that Bremen are ahead, it is certainly normal for Schaff to have a smile on his face as manager.
And this Pan Yi, why is he laughing so happily?
