Chapter 191: Ask for a raise

The two-day holiday was fleeting, and the Hamburg players were soon back at the training centre.

They will start preparing for the 11th round of the Bundesliga in four days' time, which is an away game against Freiburg.

Compared to Bayern, Freiburg is a small team, and their form this season is average, after 10 rounds, they are in 12th place with 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses.

But the more this is the case now, the more worried Pan Yi becomes.

He could clearly feel that after playing Bayern, the emotional excitement of the players dropped again, and the state in training was not as good as it was a few days ago.

This can't be attributed to the fact that Hamburg are a young team, in fact this phenomenon is still very common.

It's a bit like if you've just spent the night with Monica Bellucci or Sophie Marceau, and then you turn your head and look at those vulgar influencer faces, and you won't be interested.

Or to put it simply, the sage time after the passion.

At the sporting level, it is also true that some teams or players will lack hunger after winning the highest honors, which can lead to a drop in performance.

In the football world, how to maintain the form in the long league instead of slamming and withering for a while is also a problem that most teams have to study and overcome.

But this world's problem, even a lot of big teams composed of experienced players, may not be able to solve it completely.

They may have beaten Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek, but they lost to a bottom-of-the-table team in the league at the weekend, and that's often the case.

Pan Yi and the coaching staff can only try their best to adjust the team's training plan and talk to the players, hoping to better help the players recover from training.

After all, training is very important.

Basically, it's fair to say that every game is a test of what has been done over the past period of training.

If the level of training is low, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the game.

And in a functioning team, the players who can play in the game are often those who have performed well in training.

Sometimes when the team loses, many fans will scold and say, "Why not so-and-so?" ”

Or if a player moves to a certain team and never plays, someone will ask, "Why don't you give him a chance?" ”

As everyone knows, it is precisely because "as soon as the expert makes a shot, he will know whether there is one", these players are not able to meet the team's requirements in training, and they will not be able to enter the eyes of the head coach, and of course they will not be able to play.

Now Pan Yi is well aware of these truths, so he will spend more effort on adjusting the training status of players.

It's just that the coach can only do his best to do this kind of thing, and it depends more on the player's own understanding and self-adjustment.

After that, what kind of effect can be achieved in the end can only depend on their own creation.

……

On November 10, Hamburg ushered in the 11th round of the Bundesliga, away to Freiburg.

Despite facing a Hamburg team that had just overthrown the Bundesliga giants Bayern, Freiburg was not afraid at all and launched a fierce attack on Hamburg with the momentum of their home field.

Naturally, Hamburg did not show weakness, so the two teams launched a wonderful offensive battle.

In the 3rd minute, Wu Lei crossed the penalty area on the right side, Sun Xingmin stopped the ball and adjusted it slightly, and directly volleyed, and the ball hit the defender's foot and refracted into the net!

Hamburg took the lead by one goal shortly after the break.

But that lead didn't last long.

In the 12th minute, Freiburg's left winger Caligiuri distributed the ball into the penalty area, and the 24-year-old German striker Kreuzer scored from a small angle to equalize the score! 1:1。

The two goals in a short period of time stimulated the nerves of both sides, so the two sides went back and forth, and the game was not lively.

In the 16th minute, Hamburg won a free kick at the top of the penalty area, and De Bruyne fired a direct shot over the crossbar.

In the 17th minute, Rudiger made a long pass from the backfield, De Bruyne split the ball at the top of the arc, and Vardy burst into the penalty area and hit the goal at a small angle! The score is over again! Freiburg 1-2 Hamburg.

In the 27th minute, Carvajal crossed from the right, De Bruyne gave Casemiro a backheel at the top of the arc, and Casemiro passed in again and was cleared by the defender.

In the 33rd minute, Freiburg's corner kick from the left side was driven into the middle of the penalty area, and Kreuzer met the ball and volleyed it wide.

In the 35th minute, Freiburg crossed 45 degrees from the right, and the forward forward Fries's header hit the top of the goal, which was directly confiscated by Navas.

In the 38th minute, Son Heung-min won the ball on the left side and took two steps to shoot directly from the distance, and the ball was slightly above the crossbar.

In the 39th minute, Freiburg crossed to the top of the penalty area, Kreuzer stopped the ball and adjusted his foot to volley, and the ball went straight to the dead corner!

Kreuzer scored a brace in the first half and again equalised for Freiburg.

The first half ended with Freiburg 2-2 Hamburg.

In the second half, the two sides played more vigilantly, and the offensive and defensive scenes were reduced.

Until the 84th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Hamburg returned to the goalkeeper at the back, Navas stopped the ball and slipped and fell, Caligiuri seized the opportunity to steal and push the empty goal!

Freiburg overtook the score and it was now 3:2!

In the 93rd minute, Son Xingmin made a long-distance run into the penalty area after a steal in the middle circle, and forced a shot to hit the target at a small angle!

It was an equaliser! Son Heung-min also scored twice in this game!

The two goals in the last ten minutes also set the final score of this wonderful battle at 3:3.

Although he did not win the game, Pan Yi was quite satisfied with the mental outlook shown by the players on the field.

In particular, the fact that the score was able to equalize in the real-time stage of injury and suspension fully reflected the valuable spirit of not giving up when everyone fell behind in the game.

As for Navas's mistake......

Alas, whose goalkeeper hasn't had such an embarrassing moment?

A player of his level naturally knows how to adjust his mental state, which is not too worrying about Pan Yi.

……

It's just that on the second day after the game, Pan Yi encountered something that made him a little uncomfortable.

He had just woken up and was sleepy when he received a phone call.

It was a baritone: "Okay, is it Mr. Pan Yi?" ”

"I am. You are......? ”

"My name is Ties. I'm Son Heung-min's agent. ”

"Oh, hello. Is there anything wrong? ”

You're not polite over there, and straight to the point: "That's the case." Because my client has shown excellent quality in recent competitions, I think his salary level is a bit out of line with that right now......"

Pan Yi suddenly came to his senses: "What? Want a raise? ”
