Although they lost, Hamburg and Pan Yi did not receive much criticism from the outside world.

After all, it is an away battle, after all, the opponent is Frankfurt, which is gaining momentum, and after all, Pan Yi lacks a major general......

And in fact, Hamburg played a good game in this game, but due to Casemiro's absence, there was a problem in the connection between the middle and back, and the opponent seized the opportunity.

On top of that, the Hamburg media also realized that Hamburg is only a young team after all, just a team that was still fighting for relegation last season;

It would be unrealistic to expect such a team to suddenly become a god-killer, a ghost-killer, and unbeaten next season this season.

Even the strong teams of Bayern or Dortmund dare not pat their chests and say that they can do it!

In fact, in the history of the five major leagues, there are only a handful of people who can really achieve a season unbeaten.

Like Milan's 58-game unbeaten run and Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak, it has been written into their glorious history.

It's just that for Pan Yi, he still has a little regret.

That is, the handling of Casemiro's absence is still not perfect.

When choosing a replacement midfielder, Pan Yi considered Sarah, Teshe, and finally chose Shelbray, but he has always ignored captain Westerman.

Subconsciously, Pan Yi always felt that Westerman was the first substitute in the backline, and could play all positions as two wing-backs and a central defender.

But he forgot that Westerman's defensive ability can also be played in the midfield position.

Although his passing, receiving, dribbling skills and so on are very average, he is physically strong, has strong air dominance, has good tackling ability, and is aggressive, so he can be used as half Casemiro.

Under his protection, it would be very effective to let Makoto Hasebe, another back, take on the responsibility of organizing the ball washing.

The second half was a testament to that.

The cooperation between them is a little rusty, but the complementarity between them is still fruitful.

Shelbray, on the other hand, was different.

The Norwegian midfielder is actually a bit similar to Makoto Hasebe in terms of characteristics, and even more offensive attributes.

Not strong enough, average tackles, weak anticipation......

The two of them put it in the back, and it was like putting two leaky fences in front of the back line.

Shelbray's performance in the first half was also disastrous, with both goals conceded directly related to him.

It's not that Shelbray's personal ability is outrageously poor, it's just that he is not suitable to play in the midfield position with Makoto Hasebe.

If Westerman had been used earlier, perhaps the two goals conceded in the first half could have been avoided, and the goal shootout with Eintracht Frankfurt might have had a better result.

But anyway, it's already in the past, Pan Yi can only learn such a lesson to get ready for the next game!

People are constantly making mistakes and correcting mistakes, and this is especially true for Pan Yi.

Of course, at this time he also ushered in one (two?) Good news: Casemiro and Wu Lei have returned from injury and can play in the next round of the league!

……

At the end of the third round, Hamburg, who lost the game, suddenly fell from first place to sixth place.

The top two are Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt who have won all three games.

It's just that because Eintracht Frankfurt narrowly beat Hamburg by only one goal, Bayern, which defeated Mainz 3-1 in the third round, overtook and occupied the top position.

Ranked 2-5 are Hannover 96, Schalke 04, and Dortmund, who also have 2 wins and 1 draw and a record of 7 points.

And in the fourth round, Hamburg will face Dortmund!

The defending Hornets are actually in good form this season, in addition to being held to a 1-1 draw away by Nuremberg in the second round, beating Bremen in the first round and Leverkusen 3-0 in the third round, and are unbeaten since the start of the season.

And for Pan Yi, there is actually a special place in the face of Dortmund.

That's the current manager of Dortmund, it's Jurgen Klopp!

In other words, the tactics that Pan Yi mainly used when he was in Milan last season were from this master tactician.

Jurgen Klopp played for Mainz for a long time as a player, and after retiring as a player, he was appointed as the head coach of Mainz, leading the team out of the relegation zone and relegation.

In the 2003-04 season, Jurgen Klopp led Mainz to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history, and has been doing well ever since, which has also attracted the attention of other strong teams.

In May 2008, Klopp became the head coach of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and in the 2010-11 season, he led the team to win the Bundesliga championship after nine years, breaking Bayern Munich's monopoly and winning the German Coach of the Year.

Last season, in 2011-12, he led Borussia Dortmund to the first double in the team's history and set a record for the highest points in the history of the Bundesliga.

Five kills to Bayern in two seasons! Jurgen Klopp was named Germany's Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year.

After that, he led the team to the Champions League final, only to lose to Bayern Munich in the final and settle for second place. But he still won the best coach in the Champions League, which shows everyone's recognition of him.

In October 2015, Jurgen Klopp became the manager of Liverpool in the Premier League and has since led the Premier League's traditional giants on the road to revival.

The Premier League title, the Champions League winner, and the Premier League's best coach are all accolades that Klopp has received in the Premier League.

And the 433 high-pressing tactics he has always admired, whether in Dortmund or Liverpool, have slaughtered all sides in the European arena, which is terrifying.

Pan Yi has to face Klopp this time, and in the face of the head coach who has done the most extreme high pressure in the world today, of course, he has to study it carefully.

Unlike the 433 when facing Bremen in the first round, Dortmund's lineup is much more luxurious, and naturally it will be much more difficult to deal with!

Whether it is Lewandowski, Perisic, Gotze and Reus in the front, or Schmelzer and Hummels in the backfield...... It can be said that all of them are world-famous stars.

With the same tactic, different levels of players will of course play at different levels.

Therefore, Pan Yi should also study and analyze the characteristics of Dortmund players in more detail, and then conduct individual targeting on the basis of tactical targeting.

Therefore, before the start of the next round of the game, Pan Yi often opened the system tutorial, and reviewed the "Scumbag Klopp: The Farmer's Three Punches Hurt a Little" that he had watched several times before and was already ripe.

In addition, he also studied the tutorials related to Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti, hoping to find more ways to crack them.

After all, when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of various teams, he used classic defensive counter-attacks to defeat Klopp's side many times;

And Pep Guardiola, who fought with Klopp all the way from the Bundesliga to the Premier League, also played many wonderful matchups.

After chewing on these tutorials repeatedly, Pan Yi's heart gradually became clear......
