Chapter 208: Pan Yi Arrives at His Faithful Burger
At the start of the second half, Hamburg descended like a tiger, opening its sharp teeth and pounced on Fürth's position.
In the 46th minute, Hamburg made a series of passes in front, and Paulinho's powerful volley was saved by goalkeeper Hess. Wu Lei wanted to step forward to make up for the shot, but Hess reacted quickly and broke the ball out of the danger zone.
A minute later, De Bruyne fired a low shot from a pass in the box and goalkeeper Hess confiscated the ball.
In the 49th minute, Son Heung-min dribbled past two people and cut into the penalty area and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the goal, and Hess saved the ball again.
In the 51st minute, Wu Lei made a successful two-one-one cooperation with his teammate Carvajal on the right side, and scored with a volley from the right side of the Wuhan University penalty area, but he was offside and the goal was ruled invalid.
In the 53rd minute, Wu Lei passed back on the right, Casemiro shot vigorously from a distance, and the goalkeeper flew to save the ball.
In the 55th minute, De Bruyne took a free kick and shot directly at goal, but it was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 58th minute, Hamburg passed continuously, De Bruyne kicked the opponent's direct pass to change the line, and Paulinho, who followed in the back row, volleyed hard, Hess saved the ball, but failed to hold it in his arms.
Vardy quickly followed, and with a push of his foot, the ball was fired into the Fürth goal.
3:0!
Hamburg are now three goals ahead and Jamie Vardy has also netted twice in the game.
This goal has already declared that the suspense of the game has been killed.
In fact, by this time, Hamburg had 72% possession, and almost all of the attack and defense were played in Fürth's half.
Even the most optimistic Fürth fans can only hope that the team will concede a few fewer goals, rather than hoping for a goal or even an equaliser.
They couldn't even blame goalkeeper Hess for making a save.
Hamburg had a lot of chances on goal in this game, and Hess managed to make a good number of saves from high and low blocks, so it was certainly a matter of time to make a mistake or two in such a situation.
But when the fans think so, Hess's own mentality seems to have collapsed a bit.
In the next game, he made two huge mistakes comparable to Karius in succession!
In the 75th minute, Hess came to the outside of the box and received a return pass from a team-mate.
That's when Hamburg's frontcourt players started to press Hess and his teammates in the passing lane, which is what Pan Yi has been arranging them to do in the game.
Hess could have played the ball to his teammate on the right as soon as possible, but he opted to pull it back.
When he saw that there was no passing line on the left side, Hess pulled the ball back in front of his right foot.
But at this time, Hess made a huge mistake in possession.
Hess lost control of the ball due to the excessive force of the pull.
Hamburg striker Ivan Vardy pushed the ball into the empty net from long distance after a tackle.
4:0! Jamie Vardy also scored a hat-trick!
It was Jamie Vardy's first hat-trick in Hamburg's top flight and the first time a player has scored a hat-trick this season.
On this conceded goal, Hess made a string of mistakes.
He missed the opportunity to get the ball down the right flank in the first place, opting for a second pull when he could have cleared the ball with a big foot and making a mistake in possession on the second pull.
This kind of continuous mistakes can only be understood as his mentality is a little unbalanced under the continuous conceding goals, his head is inconsistent with what his body wants to do, and there is no root under his feet.
This time, the goalkeeper gave a gift, which completely destroyed Fürth's morale, and also destroyed Hess's last bit of confidence.
On 85 minutes, Hamburg took a corner from the right and defender Toni Rudiger headed in a goalkeeper, Hess saved the ball, but he rolled into his own goal with the ball as he fell to the ground.
Although Hess tried to kick the ball out of the net at the end, the ball had already crossed the goal line and the referee blew the whistle.
5:0!
It was also an own goal for Hess.
Hess collapsed to the ground, unwilling to get up for a long time.
His mentality collapsed, and so did the mentality of the Fürth players.
The only good news for them now is that the game time is almost at an end.
They've never been like today when they're down and want the game to be over as quickly as possible.
Every minute and every second they are on the field is as unbearable as a prison sentence!
"Fürth has surrendered! They threw in the towel! ”
"Although there is a certain gap in quality between the two sides, losing five goals in a game is quite desperate for any team."
'The Fürth players should reflect on their performance tonight. Goalkeeper Hess, in particular, made several unforgivable mistakes, let alone the performance that a Bundesliga-level goalkeeper should have. ”
"But we can also see that behind Hess's mistakes, there seems to be an impact on Hamburg's strategy in this game. They were particularly aggressive in pressing the goalkeeper today, and they also focused on tackling Hess's weaknesses in controlling the ball in the air in passing, and many players stepped up their long-range shots. ”
"Considering Hamburg coach Pan Yi's terrifying control over the details of the game, we have reason to believe that this was done on purpose!"
"And Buskens, on the other hand, should reflect on his tactics tonight."
'From the very beginning his team was pinned down by Hamburg and scored, which made his opening tactics look a bit like a joke.
"Even though he made adjustments later, he couldn't withstand Hamburg's wave after wave."
"He may think that his defensive tactics can take away the points at the People's Park, but he clearly overlooks one thing, Hamburg are the second team in the Bundesliga after Bayern in attacking firepower this season!"
"In that way, the pre-match remarks made by Buskens are even more of a joke."
Instead of beating Hamburg, he delivered a five-goal defeat. I believe that the news of his departure from class will come soon......"
……
Hamburg eventually crushed Fürth 5-0.
This score also set a record for the largest victory since Pan Yi took charge independently.
When he came over to shake hands, Buskens's face was ugly, and he didn't even dare to stare into Pan Yi's eyes.
(You know, if you don't look into the eyes of the opposing coach when shaking hands, you will probably be considered disrespectful!) )
But he still didn't say a word, and left the court with a blushing face after shaking hands.
He seemed to understand that this might be his last handshake on behalf of Fürth......
"Coach Pan Yi."
was about to go to the field with the players, but Pan Yi heard someone calling him.
When I turned around, it was an old man in a suit.
"My name is Huck and I'm the president of the Fürth Club." The old man introduced himself with a smile, and then stretched out his hand, "Congratulations, this game is very exciting!" ”
"Oh, hello." Pan Yi immediately shook Huck's hand and thanked him.
But at this time, the president of a club appeared on the pitch and congratulated the head coach who defeated his team.
Rumours of their head coach Buskens' departure have been going on and there must be a connection.
Sure enough, Huck began to ask about Pan Yi's intention to coach Fürth in the second sentence.
He even said that if Pan Yi was willing to coach Fürth, they could announce the dismissal of Buskens on the spot.
Harker said sincerely: "I assure you as the chairman of Fürth, you will be the director of our team, and you can take care of all the affairs of the team, such as player transfers and personnel management...... I'm not going to interfere. ”
This can be said to be very sincere.
Coach Pan Yi can also become Director Pan Yi.
Although he has a lot of power in Hamburg now, he is still the head coach in his position, and he does not seem to be as stylish as the director.
But Pan Yi smiled and shook his head, "After tonight's battle, I don't think your team will be able to keep the level." Do you think I'm going to coach a Bundesliga team? ”
"It's still too late. I believe that if you come, everything will still be in time, I believe you. Hank stared at Pan Yi's eyes and said.
This can be regarded as a great affirmation of Pan Yi's ability.
Fürth has always been at the bottom of the points, and there is still a big point gap from the relegation zone, at this time, I can still believe that Pan Yi can lead the team to succeed in relegation, which really treats Pan Yi as a god.
Pan Yi still shook his head: "No." Thank you so much for believing in me and good luck to you and Fürth! ”
He would never have taken over Fürth at this time.
Whether he can be relegated or not is one thing, the main thing is how he can give up the foundation he worked so hard to build in Hamburg and come to take over the mess of Fürth?
What's in it for him?
Whether it is the background, the capital, the familiarity of the players, or even the size of the stadium and the support of the fans, Fürth is completely incomparable to Hamburg.
Not to mention that the transfer period has passed, not to mention that players cannot be bought, and even if they can be bought, a small club like Fürth will not be able to give much money.
So Pan Yi simply refused, and he would not say anything polite like "there is a chance to cooperate again".
Huck heard Pan Yi's overtone, and shook hands with Pan Yi in disappointment.
He knew that nothing could happen between Fürth and Pan Yi.
……
This scene was watched by Hamburg Chairman Jahoff in the grandstand box.
Although they were far away and couldn't hear what they were talking about, they could roughly guess what was going on from the expressions on their faces.
On the one hand, Yahoff lamented Pan Yi's loyalty to Hamburg and repeatedly rejected invitations from other teams.
On the other hand, Yakhoff also has a sense of crisis.
Schalke 04, Fürth, Pan Yi may really be eye-catching.
But what if it's a giant like Borussia Dortmund or even Bayern Munich!?
Don't say it's impossible.
Although Bayern's record is very good, their head coach Heynckes is 67 years old and has also revealed his desire to retire at the end of the season.
Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, has attracted the attention of some overseas teams because of his excellent performances in recent years, and it is said that Liverpool in the Premier League are particularly interested in him.
If the managers of these two teams leave, they will definitely be looking for a successor.
With the habits of these two giants, they will be more inclined to look for a manager who has achieved success in the Bundesliga and is more familiar with the Bundesliga environment to replace them.
So, who is the hottest manager in the Bundesliga today?
Pan Yi: Exactly.
And once Bayern or Dort makes a move, no one can say whether Pan Yi can resist the temptation.
So, don't look at Pan Yi's red heart towards the hamburger now, Yahov is still a little panicked.
"It's time to renew!" Yahoff said worriedly.
……
The day after the match, the German press praised Pan Yi and his hamburger.
This includes not only the local Hamburg Morning Post, Germany's most important print media Bild and Kicker, but even the Ruhr News, which has always been a black newspaper.
They rarely formed a united front and played Pan Yi together.
In its commentary, Bild pointed out that compared to Hamburg at the beginning of the season, they are now significantly stronger and more dominant on the pitch, and have truly had the temperament of a strong team in the Bundesliga.
According to Kicker, Hamburg have a staggering record of six wins and one draw in the second half of the season after the winter break, and might even be in contention for the league title if it weren't for Bayern's horrific performance this season.
The "Hamburg Morning Post" analyzed the strength gap between Hamburg and Bayern, showing that it is not easy for Hamburg led by Pan Yi to achieve such results.
"Bayern Munich's Xavi Martinez alone is worth more than the entire Hamburg team combined. It can be said that Pan Yi used the budget of a relegation team, at most a midstream team, but played a championship-level performance! ”
The Ruhr News also had to admit that the two teams in the Ruhr industrial area, Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, both have players who are worth more than Hamburg, but their stadium performance and match results are far from perfect.
This fully illustrates Pan Yi's coaching level.
Moreover, Pan Yi played a pleasing offensive football in many games, which made all fans more willing to enter the stadium or turn on the TV to watch Hamburg's game.
And not just the local Hamburg fans, Hamburg now has an international presence.
Especially in Asia, it has become almost customary to watch Hamburg every weekend.
And when Pan Yi saw these news reports, his heart was still quite happy.
Especially those media that have been hacking him all along, now with the passage of time step by step to change their attitudes and positions, and even begin to kneel and lick, there is really a feeling of Napoleon entering Paris:
"A hairy boy from the Dragon Kingdom has entered Hamburg to coach."
"The German Cup is out, and the incompetent people expose the low level of coaching."
"A despicable and shameless sneak attack, Pan Yi stole a victory that should have belonged to Dortmund."
"Pan Yi led Hamburg to defeat Bayern Munich."
"Hamburg beat Borussia Dortmund again, and Pan Yi began to show his true colors."
"The all-powerful St. Panyi arrived today in his faithful hamburg with a fierce victory over Fürth."
……
A few days later, Yahoff came to the Hamburg training center to find Pan Yi.
He originally wanted to slowly think about how to talk to Pan Yi about renewing the contract, but he didn't sleep well in the past few nights.
For a while, I dreamed that Pan Yi ran away with Bayern, and for a while, I felt that Pan Yi was meeting with the top management of Dortmund, this feeling was like I had a beautiful wife, but I was always worried about being seduced by rich people, and then my head was green.
He also dreamed that Pan Yi was really gone, and then Hamburg's results plummeted, and fans surrounded the chairman's office and scolded his mother......
Yahoff even thought of another, more likely, potential threat.
That's Pan Yi's former club, AC Milan!
In the past Champions League quarterfinals, Barcelona defeated AC Milan 4-0 at home and achieved a comeback!
Defending champions AC Milan fell in the round of 16 and failed to move forward.
Coupled with Milan's poor performance in the league this season, with Juventus at the top of the table already 11 points behind, the Serie A title has basically been lost.
In the Coppa Italia, Milan were also eliminated by Juventus.
This means that AC Milan, last season's treble winners, is about to usher in a season in which all four are empty.
This huge gap from last season has put a lot of pressure on head coach Allegri, and even affected the team's director Galliani and chairman Berlusconi.
Therefore, rumors of Milan's imminent change of coach are also rampant.
Obviously, if AC Milan really wants to change coaches, Pan Yi, who won the treble with the team last season and was recognized by everyone, will definitely be the best choice.
And AC Milan is not comparable to Schalke 04 and Fürth for Pan Yi.
Even Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund can't compare!
Everyone knows that Pan Yi has feelings for AC Milan.
Sometimes this kind of emotional bond is not affected by money or anything else.
So, Yakhoff must take the initiative right away!
If you wait until AC Milan contacts Pan Yi, it will be too late!
……
Pan Yi was also browsing the news on his office computer at this time.
As someone who aspires to play in the Champions League next season, he certainly has to be concerned about some of the latest Champions League developments.
Milan's elimination by Barcelona is of course what he cares about the most.
He had watched the live broadcast of the game before, and then he was really surprised by Allegri's line-up.
Not to mention that some of the original main players were abandoned, and I don't know if it was because of the 2-0 home win over Barcelona in the first leg that made Ayan a little inflated, and he actually put a strange 4-1-2-2-1 formation in this game, giving up the wing and putting Boateng at the front as a striker.
As a result, Milan's sideline was completely blown up, and their own attack was not able to play.
After Messi scored twice in the first half, Milan was actually a definite defeat at this time.
Allegri couldn't make a reasonable adjustment in the second half, with Villa netting another goal for Barcelona and Alba's goal in stoppage time killing the game completely.
It can only be said that with a coach like Allegri, Milan is not unjustly lost.
One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted!
In addition to Milan, Pan Yi of course also paid attention to the situation of the three teams in the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04 also were eliminated from the tournament after losing 2-3 at home to Galatasaray.
Borussia Dortmund beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 at home to advance.
What surprised Pan Yi a little was that Bayern Munich actually lost 0:2 to Arsenal at home!
It was Bayern's first defeat since the winter.
(Spoiler for the Traverser: If you don't count Hamburg, this is also the toughest game of the season for the nearly invincible Bayern.) This echoes the phrase: XXX is invincible! )
Fortunately, they had won 3-1 away from home before, so they still barely eliminated Arsenal with more away goals and entered the quarter-finals.
There is also a key match in the round of 16, which is Real Madrid vs. Manchester United.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Manchester United 3-2 on aggregate, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored in both legs against his old club, and he is still in great form.
The other results of the games were Juventus 5:0 Celtic on aggregate, Paris Saint-Germain 3:2 Valencia and Malaga 2:1 Porto.
And the draw for the quarterfinals is also coming out soon:
Malaga vs Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid v Galatasaray.
Bayern Munich vs Juventus.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona.
The first two games are nothing, and the last two are strong conversations, which are still a little interesting.
……
Pan Yi was watching, and Yahoff came in.
"Pan Yi, let's talk about a new contract." As soon as he walked into the office, Yahoff said impatiently.
Pan Yi looked up at Yahoff, who had a haggard face, and couldn't help but be happy: "What's the matter, I'm afraid that I will run away suddenly?" ”
"Last time I only signed a two-year contract, I thought it was hasty. Sign a new one this time, sign for a few more years, how much salary do you want, although it ......"
didn't wait for Yakhoff to finish speaking, but Pan Yi said with a smile: "Is it that after signing for three or four years, those big teams won't come to poach people?" ”
"Uh......" Yahoff muttered, suddenly not knowing what to say.
He has always been anxious about Pan Yi's contract renewal, but he seems to have forgotten that there is such a thing as smashing liquidated damages.
Even if he signs a new four-year contract with Pan Yi now, and comes to Real Madrid Milan or something, if he throws away the liquidated damages, won't he take people away?
Yahoff didn't say that he wanted any liquidated damages, he wanted Pan Yi!
In other words, in world football, there are really few managers who can leave the team after completing the contract period completely.
Either they were poached halfway through, or they were forced to leave class.
Therefore, whether a manager can stay in a team all the time is mainly due to the results and the ......
"When I choose a team, I want to see if the club feels like home." Pan Yi said, "And whether you can get support and help in this family." ”
"Huh?" Yahoff, of course, understood Pan Yi's words.
This is also the reason why Pan Yi chose hamburger in the first place.
All kinds of power, all kinds of support......
But the burgers were indeed given!
Now in the entire club in Hamburg, I am afraid that Pan Yi has the most authority, and Yahoff, as the chairman, may not have as much as Pan Yi manages!
Correspondingly, everyone in the club is also very convinced of Pan Yi, the reputation of this coach of the Dragon Kingdom is very high, and everyone is willing to do things for him.
But what does he mean by that now?
Yahoff doesn't quite understand that.
"I am diligent and thrifty, and I live a prosperous life." At this time, Pan Yi spoke again, "But we still have to live a better life, so we will build a bigger house next year." ”
“???” Yahoff, an upright old German man, already had question marks all over his head.
"When you build a bigger house, you need more money." Pan Yi finally said, "So, as the head of the family, do you want to give me more support as the head of the family?" ”
He said for a long time, which means that Hamburg will play in the Champions League next year, and the transfer budget or something, you have to look at it, and it must be more......
In a word:
Gotta add money.
