Before the season even began, the Hamburg team attracted everyone's attention with their rhetoric.

Pan Yi's photos and words have dominated the headlines of major sports media.

Pan Yi showed two important things, one is that Hamburg wants to win the championship in the new season, and the other is to conquer the Bundesliga with offense!

In fact, of all the favourites, only Hamburg has truly shouted the slogan.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a public enemy of the Bundesliga, all teams, especially those strong teams that are "looked down upon" by Pan Yi, are holding their breath to slap Hamburg in the face, and many media are also waiting to see the excitement.

The media of the Dragon Kingdom, which is more "protecting the calf", also thinks that young people are still too young, which is purely hatred for no reason, which is very bad.

Isn't it fragrant to silently jungle development? It's too easy to target.

They also cited Bayern, who won the treble last season, as an example, and the current manager Pep Guardiola did not mention defending the title at all in an interview, and said that he still needs to learn and adapt when he first arrives in the Bundesliga, and the team has no advantages.

Bayern said so, Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04's coaches and players are of course more "honest", even Klopp, who is secretly trying to regain the Bundesliga title, will say some words at most "strive to enter the Champions League zone".

In short, these pre-season interviews, it seems that the Bundesliga powerhouses are like the Longguo people who abide by the golden mean in everyone's impression, while Pan Yi is more like a world gendarme with teeth and claws, shouting to destroy anyone.

As the biggest boss in Pan Yi's mouth, the Munich media also began to look at Pan Yi unpleasantly.

"Munich Evening News" fired directly: "Last season, due to the poor overall performance of the Bundesliga teams except Bayern, Hamburg took advantage of the loophole with a group of newcomers and won the league runner-up by luck." In the new season, when all teams are more vigilant about this 'new army', Pan Yi really thinks that he can create a miracle and lead a group of young people around 20 years old to win the championship? ”

The Süddeutsche Zeitung, which has a larger circulation, also bluntly said: "We admit that Hamburg was able to finish second last season, largely because of Pan Yi's flexible tactics, who know how to shrink and play defense in the face of a strong team like Bayern." But Pan Yi now actually said that he can use offense to defeat all the teams in the Bundesliga? This is a bit too child's play. ”

But in any case, Pan Yi's words attracted fans, attracted the media, and even attracted the attention of the president of the Bundesliga.

He supports Pan Yi!

As the leader of the Bundesliga, he certainly hopes that the competition in the league will be as fierce as possible, and the more gimmicks between teams, the better.

In this way, they can get more attention and they can run the league better and better.

Obviously, he didn't want to see a dominant family.

The appearance of Hamburg last season broke the old pattern of the Bundesliga to a certain extent, and it was squeezed in from the two-strong competition of Bayern Dort.

And this season, Pan Yi released a high-profile declaration of winning the championship, which detonated the entire public opinion and brought a fresh and energetic atmosphere to the entire Bundesliga.

Moreover, Pan Yi proposed to focus on offensive tactics, which is also a very attractive remark to fans.

Who wants to go to the stadium to watch a dull game of swinging buses?

As a result, the Bundesliga has even made some changes to Hamburg's schedule, such as placing their match against Bayern Munich in the penultimate round.

In this way, the two sides are likely to have a fierce battle for the championship at that time, which can attract more eyeballs.

Attracting fans to the stadium and increasing the ratings of the game is also an important job for the Bundesliga.

Including the new season, the number of live broadcasts in Hamburg will also increase, which can be regarded as catering to the market demand, and of course, at the same time, it will also bring an increase in Hamburg's revenue.

However, although Hamburg and Bayern Munich will meet late in the league, they will soon meet in a competitive match.

That will also be the first official game of the season, the German Super Cup!

Since Bayern Munich won the double in Germany last season, the Super Cup, which was supposed to be a league champion against a cup winner, has become a duel between the league champions and runners-up.

And Hamburg is the runner-up in the league!

……

City of Munich.

Pep Guardiola was at Bayern Munich's training base and saw an interview report with Pan Yi and related players.

The focus of his attention is not Pan Yi's "wild words" or anything.

As a professional football coach, he doesn't take this kind of thing to heart.

Before the start of the season, it is actually common to use various methods to boost the morale of players, but this time Pan Yi seems to be a little too forceful, but it is also within the acceptable range.

Everyone was the runner-up last season, what's the problem with winning the championship this season?

These media are too young, too simple, and they want to make a big news all day.

What Guardiola attaches importance to, on the contrary, is overlooked by more people, the reporter's interview with the Hamburg player.

He could see that Hamburg's pre-season training camp had a good response from the players, and the players had a close admiration for Pan Yi.

This can be seen from the interview with Salah.

This made Guardiola feel quite curious, and at the same time felt a kind of pressure.

That's because he himself feels that after coming to Bayern, he hasn't had this feeling of being worshipped.

He's a real world-class man!

After winning three La Liga titles and two Champions League titles, especially in a season of six unprecedented titles, Guardiola has made a name for himself with various major clubs waving cheques inviting him to join.

He finally chose Bayern, and his weekly salary also reached 320,000 euros, which is even higher than all the players in the Bayern team!

In other words, he is the biggest player in this Bayern team.

But during the period when he was in charge of Bayern, he felt the players' awe of him as a famous coach at most, and he didn't have the same desperate feeling as the Hamburg players did to Pan Yi.

"What kind of magic does this Pan Yi have that can make the players support him so much?" Pep Guardiola said, touching his bald head.

"Maybe it's just because he's younger." Grande, the assistant coach on the sidelines, said, "It's always easier for young people to get along. ”

Guardiola shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. This Pan Yi is something. ”

Pan Yi was able to show his prestige during his time as an assistant coach in Milan, winning the treble with Milan, and then leading Hamburg to create a miracle and win the Bundesliga runner-up, which is certainly not an ordinary person.

What's more, Guardiola also played against Milan when he was at Barcelona, and he was even one of the first coaches to see that Milan's tactics were designed by Pan Yi.

At that time, Guardiola's Barcelona was also defended to death by the young AC Milan and was finally defeated.

Although Gua Shuai pulled back a game in the group stage in the second leg, Pan Yi's flexible tactical design and on-the-spot application still left a deep impression on him.

After thinking about it, Guardiola turned his head to look at the other coach and asked, "Lorenzo, what do you think about Hamburg's pre-season physical training?" ”

The person he asked was the Spaniard Lorenzo Buenaventura.

This is the coach that Guardiola trusts the most.

When he became the head coach of Barcelona, he made Buenaventura the team's fitness coach.

Buenaventura, on the other hand, lived up to the prospect and helped the team evolve from the casual days of Rijkaard to a high-pressing machine capable of playing Tiki-Taka with ease.

Guardiola has always been with him from Barcelona to Bayern, and then to Manchester City, which shows that Guardiola attaches great importance to him.

"I sent people to observe that Hamburg has been training intensively since the start of the summer training camp." Buenaventura replied, "Even more intense than my training program." I'm even a little skeptical that their players will be able to withstand without getting hurt. ”

Guardiola nodded slightly.

Since the arrival of the strength and conditioning coach named Pintus, the running ability of the Hamburg players in the game can be described as terrifying.

And this season, it is obvious that they have increased the intensity of training, which should be to meet Pan Yi's requirements for high pressing and pressing in offensive football.

After all, this style of play requires a very high level of physical fitness and physical fitness for players.

From this point of view, Pan Yi's statement in the interview that he should stick to offensive play this season may not be just talking.

"I didn't complain after the players trained so hard, but praised my coach......" Guardiola looked at Grande, "you see, we can't do it, right?" ”

Grande nodded: "Looking at it this way, this Pan Yi is indeed very capable, and it can even be said to be charming." ”

Truly.

Buenaventura's physical training is also tough, but the newcomer Spaniard was soon questioned by some players, such as last season's Bundesliga MVP Franck Ribery.

The Frenchman didn't think this kind of training was much of a benefit for a veteran like him who was over 30, and as a striker, he only had to be responsible for putting the ball into the opponent's goal, and it was completely unnecessary to run so much.

"When is the Telecom Cup?" Guardiola asked suddenly.

"July 16th." Grande replied, then handed over a piece of paper with a print of Hamburg's recent warm-up games and results.

The Deutsche Telekom Cup is an event sponsored by T-Home, a well-known German giant telecommunications company in Germany.

Somewhat similar to Italy's TIM Cup, the Telecom Cup is not quite the same as traditional competitions.

They invite four teams to play for 30 minutes in each half, and if there is a draw within 60 minutes, three rounds of penalties will be used to determine the winner.

The competition will be played in two semi-finals by random draw, with the winning team advancing to the final and the losing two teams playing the third and fourth place finals, for a total of 4 matches.

All of these games will be played in one day.

In this year's Deutsche Telekom Cup, the organizers invited four teams: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In other words, Bayern have a chance to touch Hamburg in this game.

"It's just a few days...... Guardiola looked at the words on the paper, "0:0 draw with Braunschweig, 1:1 draw with Copenhagen, 2:1 win against Anderlecht...... The warm-up state of the hamburger is average. ”

"It may be that they were doing more physical training before, and they were not systematic in terms of tactical drills." Buenaventura said.

Indeed, this is normal, and Guardiola certainly does not look down on Hamburg because of the results of a few warm-up games.

On the contrary, the reason why he is going to convene the members of the coaching staff to hold this meeting for Hamburg today is to prove how much he attaches importance to Hamburg and Pan Yi.

He even feels that in the new season of the Bundesliga, Hamburg has surpassed Dortmund in the level of threat and has ranked first among his biggest rivals!

Hamburg left all the main players this summer, and brought in a few more Pan Yi veterans, and the strength has definitely improved.

Although Mitrovic is not famous, Pan Yi traveled all the way to Serbia to sign him, and he must have some outstanding characteristics.

That's why Guardiola thought about touching Hamburg at the Deutsche Telekom Cup first, and touching the bottom of Pan Yi now.

In this way, victory in the Super Cup at the end of July can be assured!

It was Pep Guardiola's first competitive game since arriving in Germany, and his first trophy to be contested, and he didn't want to be snatched away.

Besides, if we can start the new season with a win, it will help Bayern in the entire Bundesliga and even the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola concluded:

"We're going to get ready for the Telco Cup. We're going to give Hamburg a punch before the season and break their spirits! So we'll be much better for the new season. ”

Both Buenaventura and Grande nodded yes.

……

At this time, Hamburg was playing an intra-team training match.

It's just that Pan Yi, as the head coach, sat on the sidelines and watched the game with Erlang's legs crossed and gnawing on chicken feet, as if this training had nothing to do with him.

Now standing on the sidelines and shouting at the command of the game are Inzaghi and Nagelsmann.

Inzaghi's side is half of the Milan squad:

Vardy,

Salah, De Bruyne, Lin Zhijian,

N'Golo Kante, Paulinho,

Robertson, Kjaer, Van Dijk, Carvajal,

Navas.

And the rest of the players are on Nagelsmann's side, which is considered a German team:

Mitrovic,

SUN Xingmin, Calhanoglu, WU Lei,

Casemiro, Makoto Hasebe,

Janssen, Rudiger, Westerman, Dickmeyer.

Neuhaus.

Inzaghi's Milan squad seems to have a better lineup, but now the score on the field is behind, 0:2.

The German squad scored a long-range shot from Calhanoglu and Mitrovic also scored with a header.

This actually surprised the onlookers, media reporters and fans, after all, most of the main force is still on Inzaghi's side.

But Pan Yi didn't find it strange.

Inzaghi relied on the individual ability of his players to be stronger, so he arranged for the team to attack, allowing Robertson and Carvajal to take turns to attack the German team's defense.

Nagelsmann, on the other hand, was clearly more thoughtful, and he asked his players not to do more entanglement with the Milan team in midfield, but to try to get the ball to find Mitrovic's high point after getting the ball.

Mitrovic can grab the first point and head directly at the goal, and if there is no chance to shoot, he can also act as a fulcrum to fight for the ball and create a second opportunity for his teammates to attack.

That's how the two goals of the German team came about.

Under Nagelsmann's command, the Asian attack trio composed of Son Xingmin, Calhanoglu and Wu Lei also performed well, interspersing each other with flexible positions.

Calhanoglu was also under the cover of Wu Lei, with plenty of time to swing his legs, and finally scored a world wave at about 25 meters and broke through the gate of Navas.

In other words, this is the king of the ball, in the year under Pan Yi's rule, he didn't make any trouble, he usually trained hard, and the game was diligent.

Maybe it's this kind of person who will only swell when they succeed.

In Pan Yi's hamburg, Calhanoglu was stabilized by De Bruyne and could only be obediently substituted, after all, he was not convinced in front of the Bundesliga assist king.

It may be precisely under such circumstances that the king of the ball has become a good child and will not make trouble.

If he becomes the main team and starts to attract the attention of some big team, maybe it will be a different story.

So......

You just continue to substitute for Teacher Ding, don't be ashamed.

Judging from the content of this training match, Nagelsmann's tactical design ability and on-the-spot command ability are still stronger than Inzaghi's.

This is consistent with Pan Yi's achievements in the coaching industry in his previous life.

Maybe it's because a coach like Nagelsmann, who is not a good player, is more able to arrange suitable tactics according to the characteristics of the players themselves?

And a strong striker like Inzaghi may always substitute his own feelings when playing when he coaches players.

For example, Maradona was the king of the ball when he played, but he couldn't be a coach.

"You just have to do this, like this, and finish them all, and then shoot at the goal?"

Obviously, ordinary players can't comprehend the profound artistic conception of this kind of guidance......

And in terms of the examination ability of the two people, Nagelsmann is also a step higher.

He has already obtained a UEFA professional coaching certificate, which means that he is already qualified to coach the top teams in the top five leagues.

As for Inzaghi, who is still a UEFA A-level coaching certificate, can only be an assistant coach or the head coach of the youth team.

There's no way, he's taken the test a few times, but he always can't pass it.

Inzaghi often sighed in private: "It's sad to take the coaching certificate for advanced mathematics!" ”

……

As soon as the game ended, Pan Yi beckoned two assistant coaches to come over and chat:

"Next week's Deutsche Telekom Cup will be in the hands of the two of you. Nagelsmann was in charge of the overall tactical design, with Inzaghi directing the attacking routines of the forwards. ”

Nagelsmann and Inzaghi both had surprises on their faces.

Nagelsmann smiled: "You have made us more involved in the previous warm-up games, and now that you have the opportunity to play Bayern and Dort, do you still plan to watch the excitement?" ”

Pan Yi said: "Can't I be lazy? Having said that, the warm-up game is mainly about running in tactics, and the warm-up of players should focus on running tactics and don't care about the record. And you are already mature coaches, you should learn to direct the game independently. In this way, you can also find the feeling of a head coach, which will also help you on the road to independent coaching in the future. ”

Pan Yi's purpose in doing this is to allow the assistant coach to stand in the position of the head coach to understand and inspect the players, so that he can improve himself faster.

Moreover, appropriate delegation of power can not only train people, but also motivate people.

Sure enough, Nagelsmann and Inzaghi were very happy to hear it.

After all, no one wants to be an assistant coach for life, they must all want to be a great head coach like Pan Yi!

Now Pan Yi lets them go and leads the team to play games, which also shows that Pan Yi has always been concerned about the growth of assistant coaches, and will not hinder their future development.

And for Pan Yi, he really doesn't need to personally direct every warm-up game.

Now he has a good idea of the team's overall staffing and tactical play.

Who is playing where, how to play, after these weeks of training and playing, he almost has an idea in his head.

Of course, as a traverser, he is more familiar with the technical characteristics of these players than anyone else.

He can now just look at the specific form of the players as a spectator and determine how to use them in official matches.

As a result, a few days later, in the Deutsche Telekom Cup, Guardiola, who had been waiting for this game for a long time, was a little disappointed.

They just drew Hamburg and went head-to-head in the semi-finals! The other game is Borussia Dortmund vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach.

But Hamburg had a lot of newcomers, and it was Nagelsmann who was in command from the sidelines.

As for Pan Yi, he just sat on the bench and ate spicy noodles to watch the game.

Pan Yi likes to eat on the sidelines, and many people are used to it.

Even in Dragon Country, many merchants have begun to contact Pan Yi, hoping that this big coach can endorse their products.

There are not many requirements, as long as you eat spicy strips on the sidelines of every game, it is better to show a bag or something intentionally or unintentionally when the camera lens comes over.

What Weilong, Spicy Prince, BESTORE, Three Squirrels......

But Pan Yi refused.

He can't eat spicy strips every day, and eating too much is still not good for his health.

He also doesn't want to be bound by such an advertising contract, and he can eat whatever he likes!

As for Pan Yi's sideline eating, the Bundesliga has also held a special discussion to study whether team personnel should be prohibited from eating on the bench.

However, when we discuss it in detail, it is difficult to define the scope of the prohibition.

For example, if you are forbidden to eat spicy strips, what if sometimes athletes want to eat bananas to replenish energy?

Is it true that the coach is hungry, and he can't take a bite of Oreo?

You can definitely drink water, but if there are fruit grains in the drink, is it considered eating? ……

Besides, the Bundesliga is still secretly supporting Pan Yi to stir up trouble in the Bundesliga, how can it engage him?

And so, the matter was over.

Pan Yi's spicy strips continue to become a unique scenery on the side of the field.

Speaking of the game, Hamburg actually lost 0:4 in this special format match of only 60 minutes, and fell directly into the third and fourth place finals.

Guardiola, who intended to give Pan Yi a dismount, sent all the main forces in this game, and as a result, he pressed the still a little immature Nalgersmann to the ground and rubbed it.

The audience can basically be summed up in one word: no chance!

In the other game, Borussia Dortmund lost 1-0 to Borussia Mönchengladbach, so Dortmund and Hamburg fought for third place.

The match was commanded by Inzaghi, and the result was also a 0:1 loss.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund finished third in the Deutsche Telekom Cup, while Hamburg finished bottom of the tournament with two consecutive defeats and failed to score a goal.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, continue to make a big splash.

In the final, they defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 to win the title.

It can also be seen that Bayern still continued last season's good form after the change of manager.

Despite being an invitational tournament, Bayern can sweep the top teams in the Bundesliga to win the title, which also gives Bayern supporters confidence in their journey in the new season!
