Chapter 160: The Battle of the Heavenly King Ravine
"You two little bastards, what are you fighting for in a warm-up game!"
In the physiotherapy room, Pan Yi slapped Wu Lei and Casemiro's heads heavily.
Wu Lei and Casemiro didn't dare to squeak, so they could only bury their heads and let the coach train.
Love is deep, hate is deep!
Although Pan Yi also understands the mentality of these two guys, they are newcomers to the national team and want to show themselves well.
But since they returned from the national team, Pan Yi has not been angry when he sees them.
"I'm injured, and I still have a double shot! Do your own people! It's all eight to zero, hey! Don't you understand the world? It's like a World Cup final. ”
Pan Yi shook his head and sighed: "How do you call me to mix up in the coaching world." People must be laughing to death behind their backs! ”
Of course, Pan Yi is quite annoying.
Especially Wu Lei, I am afraid that there will be any problems with this injury.
After all, he is playing quite smoothly in the Bundesliga now, so he should seize this opportunity and play well to get better growth.
But now it's just to play two inconsequential friendly games (or friendly games) that people are injured and have to miss the game.
Alas, I can only hope that Wu Lei will not be affected by this injury.
After all, there has always been no shortage of talented young people in the Dragon Kingdom, but they often have the influence of some external factors that lead to the occurrence of "injury Zhongyong".
Let's talk about Wang Chu, who was called a "genius" by Mane, he just went back to prepare for the National Games, and tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee and rested for half a year.
Then it gradually failed, and finally ended the contract with Metz and went to the team in Luxembourg, and slowly "disappeared".
Dong Fangzhuo, who is valued by Ferguson, had a similar experience.
In order to be able to participate in the Olympic Games, Dong Fangzhuo chose conservative treatment in the treatment plan of knee meniscus and cruciate ligament, so he missed the best time for treatment.
Therefore, after the Olympics, Dong Fangzhuo did not fully recover, and then he has been playing football in the torture of injuries, and finally became an ordinary commodity and retired early.
Therefore, Pan Yi's scolding of Wu Lei was really out of a heartfelt concern.
This kind of concern and worry, Wu Lei can actually see it.
So he also felt sorry for Pan Yi.
But he has always been a more introverted person who does not easily show his feelings, and Pan Yi's kindness to him, he can only silently remember it in his heart.
Then I secretly decided that after the injury was healed, I would train and compete harder to catch up with the progress that had fallen!
In fact, it's not just Wu Lei.
Including Casemiro, including the rest of the Hamburg team, Pan Yi is the same age as them, and they are very good at talking to each other.
As the players said in interviews, they are more like friends, even buddies, so this attitude and affection towards the players makes everyone more willing to get close to him and play for him.
Pan Yi scolded here, and the examination report of the hamburg team doctor over there also came out.
Looking at the report, Pan Yi's frowning brows were also a little relaxed.
The injuries of these two boys are not serious, but some contusions on the lower legs, and it is expected to be healed after 6-8 days of rest!
"Next time, you two give me a little care!" Pan Yi laughed and scolded Wu Lei and Casemiro again, and walked out of the physiotherapy room with a relaxed pace.
……
Since they will only miss one game with injury, they will only have to think about the next game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
From the team's tactical point of view, it is actually Casemiro's injury that will have a greater impact.
Casemiro is very important to Hamburg these days.
He's got a lot of physicality, amazing tackling ability, and great skill, and he has a solid grip on his position.
Pan Yi admires his control of space and his focus on the game, as well as his ability to find the best balance between offense and defence.
The other midfielder, Makoto Hasebe, is also very good, full of energy, and he runs very aggressively on the field, with accurate passes and dexterous breakthroughs.
But without Casemiro by his side, Hasebe lacks a barrier around him, and it is easy to be directly exposed to the opponent's firepower.
In this case, Makoto Hasebe's weakness in spatial perception will be caught and attacked.
This phenomenon is often and often common in midfield combinations in world football, that is, when two are put together, they are invincible in the world, and it is not good without one.
A little farther away is Gattuso + Pirlo, and a little closer is Kante + Jorginho.
In the Hamburg formation, once the back is out of shape, the pressure on the back line will also increase exponentially, and the operation of the whole formation will not be smooth.
Relatively speaking, Wu Lei's absence is better.
After all, Lin Zhijian's speed and technique are also very good, which should be able to make up for the impact of Wu Lei's injury to a certain extent.
No matter how bad it is, he can still transfer Son Xingmin to the right and let Jansen play as a left winger, Pan Yi actually has many solutions.
It's this back position that has a headache, and Pan Yi knew from the beginning of the season that there was a lack of excellent substitutes in this position!
But there is no other way.
When facing Eintracht Frankfurt in the third round, the only way to do this was to let Shelbray partner Makoto Hasebe try.
……
On September 16, in the third round of the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt hosted Hamburg.
If it were before the season, this matchup could have been seen as a low-level match between a promoted horse and a relegated team.
But that's no longer the case.
Hamburg started with two wins in a row, while Eintracht Frankfurt beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 in the first round and defeated Hoffenheim 3-0 in the second round.
They are also only third in the table on goal difference and goals scored.
- In second place is Bayern Munich, who also has 6 points.
Therefore, this "low-level" competition in the third round suddenly turned into a battle for the top of the list overnight!
It can also be said to be a metamorphosis from the "Battle of Tianwang Ravine" to the real "Battle of Tianwang Mountain"!
Eintracht Frankfurt was in excellent condition, and Pan Yi naturally did not dare to slack off, and sent the strongest lineup he could come up with now, but replaced the injured Casemiro and Wu Lei with Shelbray and Lin Zhijian respectively.
And on the Frankfurt side, they are also in a 4231 formation:
Center: Oaken.
Frontcourt: Qianguishi, Meier, Aigner.
Defenders: Schwegler, Rod.
Defenders: Occhipka, Anderson, Zambraro, Sebastian Yung.
Goalkeeper: Trapp.
With Eintracht Frankfurt having a Japanese international in their squad, this is also a Japanese derby.
However, as Zhang Lu mentioned in the commentary before, Japanese and South Korean players are blooming everywhere in the Bundesliga, so this kind of derby is very common and will not be particularly eye-catching.
After the start of the game, the two sides played very intensely, the pace of the game was fast, but there were a bit of mistakes, and the content of the game was a bit lackluster.
In the 13th minute, Eintracht Frankfurt's left winger Qianguishi seized a mistake in the back of Hamburg and scored the goal to open the scoring for Frankfurt.
Hamburg was a little flustered after conceding the goal, trying to counterattack but not hitting the quality.
Instead, in the 18th minute, Eintracht Frankfurt center Oaken took advantage of a header opportunity to rewrite the score to 2:0.
At this time, Hamburg woke up like a dream under the command of Pan Yi, and finally scored a long-range shot by Makoto Hasebe before halftime to make the score 2:1.
After the rematch in the second half, Pan Yi directly withdrew the defender Shelbray, who had not performed well in the first half, and replaced it with captain Westerman to play this position.
This change still has an effect.
At this time, Eintracht Frankfurt pressed harder and played harder, while Hamburg was not to be outdone despite playing away.
The two sides went back and forth, and began to play a wonderful offensive battle.
In the 63rd minute, De Bruyne sent a direct pass from the edge of the penalty area, Lin Zhijian shook off the defender on the right side, and crossed the low flat ball to the goal, and Son Xingmin followed up and scored a sweeping shot to equalize for Hamburg! 2:2!
But in the 86th minute, Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Rod made a long pass to the front, Okorn grabbed the first drop point and headed the ball, and the right winger Aigner inserted the ball and burst into the penalty area and shot angrily, making the score 3:2 again!
It was almost a killer shot.
In the end, Eintracht Frankfurt narrowly beat Hamburg 3-2 at home, extending their winning streak and ending Hamburg's two-game winning streak.
