The game resumes.

After taking the lead, Hamburg began to be anti-customer-oriented and pressed hard.

As Pan Yi said before the game, when the center, winger, forward and back of Hamburg's 4231 set are all putting pressure on the opponent's middle, it is completely irresistible with Borussia Mönchenchen's two parallel midfielders Nordved and Xhaka.

Borussia Mönchenchen's midfield control was quickly ceded to Hamburg, who kept their formation tight and even pressed their two centre-backs near the halfway line.

Matches were played almost entirely within the Borussia Mönchenchen half.

This made Borussia Mönchen's head coach Favre feel helpless.

If it was usual, the Swiss manager, who doesn't like to play with the ball, would have been happy to see it.

I can't control you in the midfield, just give up. Isn't it fragrant to shrink in the backcourt and play counterattack?

But the problem is that now Borussia Mönchen conceded a goal in the opening two minutes, so the initiative of the game is completely in the hands of Hamburg.

This also makes Borussia Mönchen's players have problems with their mentality, including a lack of unity of thought.

Some people want to be more defensive, while others want to play outside when they have the opportunity to try to get one back early.

And once there is a disagreement in a team's tactical strategy, then it will definitely be half the effort in execution.

Favre stood up.

He waved his two wing-backs, Arango and Herman, to get a little closer to the middle to support Nordvet and Xhaka.

No matter how you defend and counterattack, you have to break the ball at your feet to have a chance to counterattack!

If the capacity is insufficient, the number will be made up.

Two people in the middle can't fight you, so increase it to four!

But the problem is that the two backs on the opposite side of the hamburger are too difficult to deal with.

Makoto Hasebe is not bad, that Casemiro is very active today, as if he has an inexhaustible physical energy, running everywhere.

Especially Xhaka, the current core of the midfield of Borussia Mönchenchen.

If the Swiss goes a little further, Casemiro will be held up to the death, making it impossible for him to run;

And when Xhaka retreats, Casemiro will immediately follow up and cut off the pass that Borussia Mönchen gave him.

This makes Card Master kick that is called a grievance.

In addition, Casemiro has a lot of small movements in his hands, and he almost made Xhaka lose his temper a few times.

Fortunately, he still thought that he already had a yellow card in time, so he resisted the idea of killing Casemiro.

And when Casemiro keeps up with Xhaka, Makoto Hasebe or Rudiger will always move forward as soon as possible to plug the loophole after Casemiro leaves the midfield position, which also makes the Brazilian have no worries and desperately engage Xhaka.

This is actually Pan Yi's instruction before the game.

Since he knows that Xhaka is a time bomb, how can he not use it well?

And Casemiro is a good hand at this, and he is a professional counterpart.

While staring at Xhaka, you can also tease him a few times by the way, why not.

Now, Xhaka is completely frozen, Borussia Mönchenchen's midfield is almost dead, and even if Favre had the two wing-backs leaning in the middle, it would have helped.

Conversely, after Arango and Hermann left the touchline, Hamburg's two wingers were completely freed.

Sun Xingmin and Wu Lei began to frequently take advantage of the vacancies on the side to launch surprise attacks on the hinterland of Menxing.

In the 18th minute, Borussia Mönchenchen's centre-back Dominomez intercepted a shot from Hamburg and drove the ball near the halfway line.

Standing there, Xhaka didn't have time to react when Casemiro struck a diagonal stab and took the lead to intercept the ball in mid-air.

Once on the ball, Casemiro quickly handed it to Kevin De Bruyne.

That's where Casemiro's midfielder comes in.

He knows what he should do, and he also knows who the real offensive core of the team is, and he will never do those things that overstep his responsibilities and avoid his strengths.

Therefore, he always looks for De Bruyne as soon as he grabs the ball, and when there is really no way to pass, he will consider dealing with it himself.

Unlike some players, who always fantasize that they are a combination of Gattuso and Pirlo, they can combine offense and defense, and as a result, they make a mess of the team's offensive system.

One word to describe it is: no point to force the number!

Of course, De Bruyne has never let Casemiro down.

His passing always convinces the Brazilians, too.

Sometimes Casemiro would exclaim inwardly after De Bruyne's pass: "I grass, can this ball still be passed like this?" ”

The admiration and trust of his teammates also made De Bruyne play handy in the position of the forward midfielder.

This time, De Bruyne only glanced at the corner of his eye after getting the ball, and had already chosen what he thought was the best passing route.

He made a quick long pass with his right foot and the ball slashed across the pitch and down the left side of the pitch.

Son Heung-min quickly plugged in, received the ball in the unguarded area, and dribbled forward.

This is indeed where Borussia Mönchen's defense is relatively weak, and only one central defender Stronz is relatively close, and he also hurried over at this time.

The 32-year-old centre-back has a lot of experience, and he knows that Son Heung-min can change direction quickly, so he fights and retreats, otherwise Son has a chance to break through him.

Son Heung-min is young and energetic, and now he is bent on getting past the Stronz before choosing to shoot or cross.

So he flicked the outside of his right foot out, made a gesture to cut in, and then quickly pulled the ball back with the inside of his right foot, and followed with his left foot, trying to brush the Stronz side of the baseline.

But the Menxing Zhongwei also saw through Sun Xingmin's attempt, and saw the opportunity to release a shovel to sabotage the breakthrough.

The ball rolls off the baseline and Hamburg wins a corner.

Although it was only a corner, Borussia Mönchen was under pressure.

After all, they just dropped points in the free-kick defense!

This time, we can't let the cunning Hamburgers play any more tactics to deceive them!

Favre kept shouting at his players from the sidelines, signaling them to stay focused and patiently organise the corner.

As a result, all ten players from Borussia Mönchen entered the penalty area and were ready to fight.

The last one was Xhaka, who was staring at De Bruyne, who was about to take a corner, and followed him all the way to the bottom line on the side of the penalty area.

He's trying to prevent Hamburg from another corner.

And after De Bruyne stood in the corner flag area, set the ball and prepared to take the penalty, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

But at this moment, Sun Xingmin, who was standing at the top of the arc, ran over to him and motioned for him to take the corner kick.

The Borussia Mönchen players were immediately on the alert.

Because if De Bruyne takes this corner, it is usually a right-footed incurator.

And if it is Sun Xingmin to play, it is not necessarily, this bipedal monster is likely to change to his left foot to kick the outspin ball.

This may be a different approach to attacking in Hamburg's corner kick tactics, but it will also be a different way for Borussia Mönchen's defenders!

At this time, De Bruyne saw Sun Xingmin running towards him, so he gently kicked the ball at his feet to Sun Xingmin, and pointed to the ball that slowly rolled out of the corner flag area, as if to say, "Okay, you come to the penalty".

Then, De Bruyne began to slowly walk towards the top of the arc of the penalty area, that is, he stood in the position where Son Xingmin was standing just now.

Son Heung-min also walked slowly and leisurely towards the ball, looking like he wanted to bring it back to the corner flag area and then re-kick off.

However, when his foot began to touch the ball, he did not continue towards the corner flag.

Sun Xingmin suddenly flicked the ball to the side, and directly took the ball and began to rush towards Menxing's penalty area!
