In midweek, Pan Yi appeared at the Allianz Arena with Nagelsmann and Inzaghi.

Tonight is the Champions League quarter-finalisation with Bayern Munich at home to Juventus.

These are two "old acquaintances" of Pan Yi, and Pan Yi is quite familiar with the head coaches and players of these two teams.

It is also the first meeting in the Bundesliga and the first place in Serie A this season.

Although not as terrifying as Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga, Juventus still sit first in Serie A with 62 points.

AC Milan, which lost Pan Yi, has adjusted its form in the middle of the league, but now it can only rank third with 51 points, 11 points behind Juventus, and this season's championship is basically out of the picture.

Even in front of Milan, there is a Napoli team with 53 points......

Today, Pan Yi brought the coaching staff to watch the game live, just to see how Bayern will change in recent games, and try to find out the latest weaknesses and weaknesses of the opponent, and then use them.

The game will start soon, and Pan Yi also saw the starting lists of both sides.

Conte still lined up his favourite 352:

Forwards: Quagliarella, Matri.

Midfielders: Peruso, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Lichtsteiner.

Defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli.

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon.

By the way, what about the striker Pato that Milan sold to them?

He also didn't sit on the bench either.

Due to his poor performances last season, he has gradually lost Conte's trust.

In the first half of the season, Pato came off the bench in garbage time for most of the season, which also exacerbated the conflict between him and Antonio Conte.

After the opening of the winter window in January 2013, Juventus sold Pato to Brazilian side Corinthians for 15 million euros on a four-year contract.

Well? How Corinthians again?

Maybe it was because they had to scrape together money to buy Pato, so they didn't have the money to buy out Paulinho, and finally let Paulinho be picked up by Pan Yi to Hamburg......

I didn't expect Pan Yi to play a big move last year, and it can still be applied to himself in a positive feedback way today.

Back to this game.

On the Bayern side, Heynckes' lineup made Pan Yi feel a little surprised.

Forward: Mandzukic

Front: Ribery, Kroos, Muller.

Defenders: Schweinsteiger, Gustavo.

Defenders: Alaba, Dante, Van Bitten, Lahm.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.

It's not Bayern's strongest main lineup!

At least three or four positions were rotated.

This shows that Heynckes didn't even take Juventus in his eyes entirely, but stayed a little bit of effort.

So, what did he stay for?

It's just going to do Pan Yi!

Losing to Hamburg in the first half of the season, that game has always been in the memory of the old coach and very uncomfortable.

Counting last season's Champions League final loss to Milan, Heynckes has lost to Pan Yi twice in a row.

He just wants revenge!

Therefore, he did not even play the main force in this crucial Champions League knockout match, but was ready to wrestle with Pan Yi at the weekend!

This also made Pan Yi feel a little pressure, and at the same time felt a little flattered.

"This old man is quite interesting." Pan Yi thought silently, "Aren't you afraid of being bitten back by Juventus, and accompanying your wife and breaking the army?" ”

……

But it turned out that Pan Yi's idea was superfluous, and Hai Gonggong's reservation was also well understood.

Even if Bayern does the rotation, his lineup can sweep Europe!

They attacked as soon as they started and even scored in the first minute!

Just 25 seconds into the game, Schweinsteiger crossed to Alaba in the middle, and the Austrian teenager received the ball from about 25 meters and then pulled out his foot to shoot, the ball hit Vidal's foot and bounced off Buffon to bury into the corner, Bayern led 1-0.

In the games that followed, Bayern also dominated the field.

Although Kroos went off injured in the 16th minute, Bayern played more easily after replacing Robben.

On the other hand, Juventus played a little shredded, and the rhythm was completely disrupted by the opponent, but fortunately, Buffon played steadily, allowing Bayern to enter the second half with a one-goal lead.

In the second half of the game, the situation of Bayern attacking and Juventus defending did not change at all.

Although Conte has replaced Giovinco, Vucinic, Pogba and others to strengthen the attack, it is to no avail.

In the 63rd minute, Gustavo shot coldly in the middle, but Buffon, who has been performing well, saved the ball, Mandzukic, who was ambushed in front of the goal, got the ball and passed calmly, and Muller outflanked the empty goal in the middle, Bayern 2-0.

In the end, Bayern defeated Juventus 2-0 at home and won the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Pan Yi shook his head from the stands.

On the one hand, he lamented that Juventus played badly, and it is estimated that Conte did not have the idea of unifying the players before the game, which led to their overall play now being a bit chaotic.

In the whole game, they were almost completely pressed and beaten by Bayern, which Pan Yi did not expect.

Although it was away from home, the Serie A leaders were pressed by Bayern and had no power to fight back.

On the other hand, it shows that this Bayern team is really too strong!

There were few flaws in the game and Juventus were not given any threatening shots on goal.

After Pan Yi watched the whole game, he couldn't even think of any good way to restrain the current Bayern team.

They haven't even played Harvey Martinez and Boateng Jr. yet.

If there are two of them, Bayern's midfield will be able to defend and play the ball to a higher level.

Pan Yi turned to Inzaghi and Nagelsmann, and the two assistant coaches also looked at each other and couldn't give any good advice.

"NND, it seems that we can only try the medicine according to the prescription, try the tactics of beating them last time, and see if we can break their midfield operation......" Pan Yi touched his nose and thought.

……

Weekend.

Allianz Arena.

In the 27th round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg challenged Bayern Munich away.

As the number one dark horse in the Bundesliga this season, second-placed Hamburg is of course more popular with neutral fans, and everyone expects them to stop Bayern's winning streak in such a strong conversation.

Pan Yi did line up his strongest lineup.

He just wanted to see how far his Hamburg team was still in the face of the strongest team in Europe and the world.

It could even provide some direction for his reinforcements next season.

And the old coach Heynckes, who is determined to take revenge, is also the strongest lineup, and Xavi Martinez, Boateng Jr., including Robben, who was hidden in the Champions League, also started!

In fact, Pan Yi can really understand Heynckes' behavior.

This veteran coach is ready to retire at the end of the season!

If he can't beat Pan Yi, it will be a lifelong regret in his coaching career - of course, as for his later comeback to put out the fire for Bayern, it is another matter.

After the start of the game, the Bayern players launched a fierce attack on Hamburg's position amid the tsunami cheers of 70,000 fans at the Allianz Arena.

The coach wants revenge, and the players want revenge!

In other words, the players want the old coach to leave no regrets before retirement, which further bursts out their strong fighting spirit and makes their combat effectiveness burst in this game.

The Hamburg players strictly followed Pan Yi's pre-match instructions, set up a tight defensive line in front of the midfield line, and tried to cut off the connection between Bayern's two midfielders and wingers.

But Heynckes was clearly prepared this time.

He allowed Arjen Robben and Ribery to cross positions frequently, and even sometimes before wingers and full-backs, with Alaba and Lahm often present in attack.

This left the Hamburg players a little confused, and they began to show holes in their defense.

In the 24th minute, Alaba returned a pass from the left, and Robben cut into the penalty area with the ball on the left side and volleyed into the far corner of the goal, giving Bayern a 1:0 lead.

In the 38th minute, Javi Martinez made a long pass, Robben cut into the penalty area on the right side and crossed, Mandzukic in the middle squeezed away Kjaer's defense and pushed the goal, Bayern led 2:0!

Although Hamburg scored a lightning strike from Son Heung-min shortly after the start of the second half through a post-kick-off attack, it didn't help.

Bayern remained firmly in control of the initiative.

In the 73rd minute, Ribery passed the ball in front of the penalty area, Muller selflessly crossed, Robben pushed the goal, 3:1, Bayern sealed the win.

In the face of Bayern's absolute strength suppression, despite all the efforts made by Pan Yi before the game, he was unable to change the situation in the end.

At the end of the game, Bayern beat Hamburg at home thanks to Arjen Robben's brace, giving Hamburg their third defeat of the season and making themselves ten consecutive league wins.

At the same time, it was the end of Hamburg's 19-game unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga this season.

The two-goal defeat was also the biggest defeat since Pan Yi took charge of Hamburg.

These records are actually a reflection of how good Hamburg has been this season!

They just lost to a better team, a strong team that could go down in football history.

Against Bayern at the Allianz Arena, they have done a good job!

"Come, keep your head up, don't be discouraged!"

In the locker room, Pan Yi cheered at the players who came in one by one.

"It's okay, take it easy!"

"It's nothing to lose, you're doing well!"

"Come, give Ye a ...... smile"

The Hamburg players certainly know that losing away to Bayern Munich is not a big deal, but they just feel uncomfortable.

No one likes to lose, especially since they haven't tasted it for almost half a year!

Some players also have illusions in this game, such as if they do win Bayern, will they still have a chance to compete for the Bundesliga title......

But now, everything has woken up.

The difference in strength between the two sides is there.

The victory in the first round was really just an upset.

This makes everyone's mood very low.

But the manager didn't seem uncomfortable at all......

"This time, if you lose, you lose, really. There is no shame in losing to such a strong team. After everyone entered the locker room, Pan Yi first began to let the players relax.

"Which team hasn't lost? Have it? Even AC Milan or Arsenal, who were previously invincible, will eventually lose. ”

"So it's normal for us to lose. All we have to do is to clean up our emotions immediately, sum up the lessons learned from the game, and put our energy into the next game! ”

Seeing that the players' emotions calmed down a little, Pan Yi's tone changed and he began to say:

"When I say that, I'm not saying it to bow to Bayern. We're going to lose, they're going to lose too. ”

"We have defeated them before, and today they got their revenge. Then, next time, it's us who will take revenge! ”

"And to really beat them and make them convincing, we need to do better in training and in future competitions!"

"There is a sage surnamed Lu in our Dragon Country who said that only those who can withstand failure are qualified to embrace success!"

"We can't be crushed by such a defeat, are you the ones who easily admit defeat?!"

In the dressing room, all the Hamburg players stood up in unison, looked up at their head and shouted:

"Nope! We won't throw in the towel! ”

Pan Yi smiled with satisfaction, then he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said:

"Well, please remember your defeat here today."

"We'll be back here next season and give them back this loss!"

"At the same time......"

Pan Yi dragged out his voice, and finally shouted:

"We will also take the salad plate from them and become the new Bundesliga champions!"

All the players on the scene, including the coaching staff behind Pan Yi, felt Pan Yi's strong determination, and everyone roared along:

"Bundesliga champion!"

"Bundesliga champion!"

"Champion! ……”

……

The next morning, all kinds of bickering began in the major German media and newspapers.

Obviously, Hamburg's defeat has enlivened up some journalists who had already closed their mouths of doubt.

A lot of media is like that, you win and you win; If you lose, he turns his face and stomps on you more fiercely than anyone else.

In addition, Pan Yi is a coach from the Dragon Country after all, and such a person from a weak football country can actually call the wind and rain in a traditional power like Germany, which will definitely make some people feel like they are stuck in their throats.

So as soon as Pan Yi lost, these people popped up, especially the local newspaper in Munich.

They quoted Pan Yi as saying at his post-match press conference:

"We lost to the best team in Germany, and even the best in Europe, and we lost convincingly, and I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of."

"I'm not going to make any excuses for this loss, and I don't want to make any excuses. Losing is losing, the opponent is better than us, the performance is better than us, that's it. ”

"I'm very grateful to Heynckes and his Bayern Munich for showing me the gap between Hamburg and the best team in European football today, as well as our own weaknesses and shortcomings."

"This game has given us a lot of valuable lessons and we will learn from them and try to improve and one day we can really beat Bayern......

"Süddeutsche Zeitung" believes that this shows that Pan Yi has been completely scared by Bayern, and he also recognizes the huge gap between Hamburg and Bayern, and he should not think about wrestling with a real strong team like Bayern from now on.

"Munich Mercury" also pointed out that after this battle, Pan Yi and his supporters should know who is the boss of the Bundesliga, and they can put away their endless touting!

But more media outlets fought back.

According to Bild, what they saw was Pan Yi calmly accepting his defeat and expressing his determination to challenge Bayern in the future.

It's a rare mentality for a young coach and a young team.

Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and daring to challenge the strong, these are the necessary qualities of all successful people.

And the "Hamburg Morning Post" even wrote that according to an unnamed No. 7 player of the Dragon Kingdom, in the Hamburg locker room after the game, Coach Pan Yi shouted the slogan of winning the championship next season!

This shows that Pan Yi's speech at the press conference is just a speech.

His real ambition is to beat Bayern Munich and take the title away from this near-invincible team!

This is the embodiment of Pan Yi and his Hamburg players' fighting spirit of not being afraid of strong opponents and dangers.

Of course, not only many media in Germany are still supporting Pan Yi, but the media in the Dragon Kingdom thousands of miles away are all speaking for Pan Yi!

"Sports Weekly" listed the value list of all players in Hamburg and Bayern Munich, and finally said that Bayern's total value has exceeded 500 million euros, and such an investment is really nothing to be proud of beating Hamburg, which is only worth tens of millions.

What's more, most of the value of Hamburg players was forced to play after Pan Yi led the team, and it was even lower before.

"Football Newspaper" said that Bayern Munich actually won one game each at home with Hamburg this season, and the aggregate score was also 3:3, I really don't know what to be happy about.

Bayern has only conceded 13 goals in 27 games this season, of which 4 goals are due to Hamburg, which also shows how sharp Hamburg's offensive line is under Pan Yi's tutelage.

And the fans are more direct.

And that's not just for Dragon Nation fans.

Various Asian fans, including Japan and South Korea, stood on a front to support Pan Yi and support the Hamburg team he led at this time.

In the past, there was a saying that "China-South Korea friendship depends on Japan, China-Japan friendship depends on South Korea, and Japan and South Korea have no friendship." ”

But now there is one more sentence, "The friendship between China, Japan and South Korea depends on Pan Yi!" ”

People in these places speak different languages and post all kinds of comments on the Internet, but a thousand words are combined into one sentence:

"! Pan Yi Saigao! ”

……

The subsequent Champions League matches also seemed to prove that Hamburg's defeat to this Bayern team was indeed normal.

In the second leg of the quarterfinals, Juventus returned to their home stadium to face Bayern, but was beaten 0:2 again, and finally lost 0:4 on aggregate.

The Serie A giants still don't have any chances! The two teams simply don't look like they're competing on the same level.

In the other three knockout matches, Real Madrid defeated Galatasaray with an aggregate score of 5:3, and Dortmund narrowly escaped 3:2 to beat Malaga in La Liga.

Of course, there is an even more thrilling one, and that is the strong dialogue between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 at home to Barcelona in the first leg.

In the second leg, when Pastore scored to help Paris take the lead, it was equalized by Pedro, and the two sides finally drew 1:1 away.

Barcelona advanced to the semi-finals due to the advantage of more away goals!

In the battle for the semi-finals, the Bundesliga duo will face off against the two giants of the Spanish Super League.

Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid, Bayern Munich v Barcelona.

……

After 27 rounds of Bundesliga matches, Bayern's advantage in the standings has been extended to 12 points.

With 72 points, they are almost holding the championship trophy in their arms.

Hamburg are still second with 60 points, but Borussia Dortmund in third place have closed the gap to eight points.

However, Pan Yi didn't care much about this.

They are now 12 points ahead of fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen, as long as they can maintain that advantage.

In the Bundesliga, the top three will all qualify directly for next season's Champions League group stage, while the fourth place will go to the play-offs.

So for Pan Yi, the difference between getting second or third is not big, but it must not fall to fourth.

If you do play in the play-offs, it will still have a bit of an impact on Hamburg's pre-season preparation next season, and there is a risk of overturning and not reaching the group stage.

If you really can't make it to the group stage, then the loss will be big.

Not to mention that you can't play in the Champions League, and there is less money for nothing, the transfer budget will inevitably be reduced, and the attraction of well-known players will also decrease......

It's just that now there are only seven games left in the league, but there is still a 12-point advantage, so it shouldn't be a big problem in theory.

But in any case, Hamburg's direct competitors have now become Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

In fact, the Champions League seats in the Bundesliga this season are basically these four.

Because Schalke 04, which is ranked fifth, only has 42 points at this time, the gap is even greater!

……

On 7 April, Hamburg hosts Freiburg.

Freiburg drew their first meeting with Hamburg and are currently eighth in the Bundesliga.

It's just that at the People's Park Stadium, Hamburg, who quickly recovered from the shadow of the defeat to Bayern under the careful training of Pan Yi, suppressed Freiburg from the beginning, and pressed the opponent to the point of no temper through high pressing.

On 19 minutes, Vardy opened the scoring for Hamburg.

After receiving a direct pass from De Bruyne in the middle, Vardy cut in on the left side of the box to form an anti-offside position, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Vardy fired a low right-footed shot into the far corner. 1：0！

One minute later, Jamie Vardy scored twice.

This time it was Wu Lei who sent a through ball, and Vardy burst into the left side of the penalty area.

This time, Vardy opted for a left-footed shot into the near corner. In almost the same position, Vardy scored in a completely different way, 2:0!

At 40 minutes, Vardy returned the favor by providing an assist for Wu Lei.

Jamie Vardy sent a through ball down the middle, and the Dragon winger easily countered offside on the right side of the penalty area.

At half-time, Hamburg took a 3-0 lead!

The outcome of the game also lost its suspense early.

In the second half, Wu Lei also scored two goals!

Paulinho faked a real pass in the middle, Wu Lei completed the anti-offside position again in front of the small penalty area, and he very calmly pushed the ball with his right foot into the far corner.

In the end, Hamburg won 4-0 at home to Freiburg!

Such a big victory also boosted the morale of Hamburg!
