Chapter 193: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight, and the Fisherman Profits
Under the "treatment" of a top "talk therapy master" like Pan Yi, Sun Xingmin was really not affected by this salary increase.
In the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg hosted Mainz, and the South Korean king continued to maintain his good form in recent days.
It's even more violent!
In the 33rd and 63rd minutes, he scored a long-range shot from the left and right from outside the box to help Hamburg win 2-0 and take all three points.
Since the Bundesliga schedule will be relatively dense in the next two weeks, there will be more games between three or four days, and Pan Yi also made some rotations in this game.
Although this caused Hamburg to look a little rusty in attack, the end result was good.
Three points is the best result!
And in this round of the game, there was also a big upset.
That's 15th-ranked Nuremberg, who drew 1-1 at home to 1st-ranked Bayern Munich!
And it was Nuremberg's leading goal in the game.
At the start of the second half, Hiroshi Kiyotake assisted Ferner to score a goal to give the home team the lead.
In this game, Nuremberg's 4141 pure defensive formation gave Bayern quite a headache, and the overall ground advancement was greatly affected.
It wasn't until the 78th minute of the game that Bayern equalized the score through a diagonal pass from Tymoshchuk and Mandzukic headed it in.
But in the end, Bayern had no way to score the second goal, so they could only shake hands with the opponent.
This result shows that even the downstream teams of the Bundesliga are actually quite difficult to provoke, and they will overturn if they are not careful;
The second is that it feels like Bayern does have a bit of a demoralization trend after the loss to Hamburg, which requires the coaching staff led by Heynckes to make the right adjustments as soon as possible.
Of course, this draw will not affect Bayern's position as the leader of the Bundesliga for the time being.
After all, others don't necessarily win.
For example, Schalke 04, which has been ranked second in recent rounds, lost 0:2 to their fierce rival Bayer Leverkusen in this round.
Goals from Kiessling and youngster Schurrle helped the pharmaceutical company win the match.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, lost in the last round.
Of course, they didn't lose unjustly, and the opponent was none other than Bayern Munich!
Bayern had just lost to Hamburg and were back at home in need of an opponent to vent their anger, just as Eintracht Frankfurt came up.
With goals from Ribery and Alaba in general, Bayern also took the opponent lightly.
Therefore, in the 12th round, Bayern, with 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, is still ranked first in the standings, but now the second place is Hamburg, which has 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses and 24 points!
In third and fourth place are Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt with 23 points.
And this one-point gap was widened again after the end of the 13th round of the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt have a head-to-head head-to-head head-to-head in this round.
The battle between the three and four was extremely intense.
After all, they are two of the strongest contenders for a Champions League place this season, and if they can beat their opponents in direct encounters, they can have a big advantage in the competition!
And the results seem to prove that they are really inseparable.
Full-back Atsuto Uchida stepped forward in the 11th minute to set up Dutch striker Huntelaar to score and give Schalke 04 a one-goal lead at home.
Eintracht Frankfurt returned the color two minutes later, and Kantashi, who is also a Japan international, assisted teammate Aigner on the other side to score in the 13th minute, allowing Eintracht Frankfurt to equalize the score.
After that, the two sides entered a fierce strangulation battle, the scene was more intense than exciting, and there was no goal again.
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Batmo also received a yellow card in the 55th and 87th minutes, and was sent off with two yellows and one red.
Fortunately, it was close to the end of the game, and in the end, Eintracht Frankfurt held on to the score of 1:1 and did not let themselves be beaten by their direct rivals.
But the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman wins.
In the same round, Hamburg beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 2-0 to extend their lead over Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt and consolidate their second place in the table.
Facing the promoted horses, who were only ranked 16th in the standings, Pan Yi still made some rotations, but he still played smoothly.
- This is a set of methods that Pan Yi has gradually figured out now, that is, only rotate three or four people at a time at most.
In this way, under the condition that the overall strength of the team will not be affected too much, the main players can be rested as much as possible and the accumulation of fatigue can be reduced.
In the game, captain Westerman scored in the 25th minute with a heavy shot from 30 meters away.
In the 78th minute of the second half, substitute Turkish teenager Calhanoglu once again performed his free kick stunt and kicked a strange curve ball straight into the corner of the goal.
The distance of this shot was more than 35 meters!
Hamburg also relied on these two world waves to score three points and remain in second place in the standings with 27 points.
As for Bayern in first place?
They thrashed Hannover 96 5-0 at home to create another tragedy and mark their return to form.
In fact, with Pan Yi's 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the first 13 rounds, with 27 points, no matter which league it is in, it is already a very good record.
If you consider that Pan Yi is only the first time to coach a top-flight team independently, such a report card is even more impressive.
In many cases, Hamburg even has a chance to challenge for the league title!
But unfortunately, in this season's Bundesliga, they met a monster Bayern Munich.
11 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 34 points, this 7-point gap is as insurmountable as a gutter in front of such a stable Bayern.
Even after a large rotation, they can still put out a star-studded lineup and still be able to suppress the opponent steadily.
The vast majority of teams are only parrying when facing Bayern, and they have no power to fight back.
Not to mention the Bundesliga, they have just slaughtered Lille with a score of 6:1 in the Champions League, defeated Borisov 4:1, and easily qualified as the first place in the group stage.
- The five-crown winning Cosmos team is messing with you? Spoilers for the Traverser: Later in the knockout round, they can even kill Barcelona 7:0 in two legs!
This also shows once again how difficult it is for Hamburg to beat Bayern......
Therefore, Pan Yi's goal now is to continue to stabilize Hamburg's second position in the standings and firmly control the initiative in the battle for a Champions League spot!
And in the next round, that is, the 14th round, Pan Yi will usher in an important battle.
Hamburg will host the team that is now third in the table.
Schalke 04!
