Hamburg defeated Bayern 4:1 to win the Super Cup!

The next day, the news quickly spread around the world.

Especially in European football, the news caused an uproar.

If you put it in the past, it would have been just a normal piece of game news that would have been relegated to the preseason category sometimes.

But now, the loser in this news is Bayern Munich, and they have lost by three goals!

This is Bayern, which swept the whole of Europe last season!

Moreover, Hamburg is not won by defensive tactics like some teams that can beat strong teams by chance.

They set up a position to fight Bayern in the midfield battle, and really controlled the tempo of the game, so that Guardiola lost convincingly!

In terms of technical statistics after the game, Hamburg basically overwhelmed Bayern.

Possession: 56%-44%.

Pass success rate: 93%-85%.

Shots: 18-9.

Shots on target: 9-3......

Although it is not the kind of strength and weakness, such a comprehensive data lag is very rare for Bayern, and it is even more unprecedented for Guardiola.

So some media exclaimed, the day of the Bundesliga, is it really going to change!

Pan Yi's rhetoric about winning the Bundesliga championship last season and this season seems to be really not just a slogan!

There are also some celebrities and coaches who highlighted the innovative 433 tactics used by Hamburg in this Super Cup in the talk show.

They exclaimed that Pan Yi had taken the study of football tactics to a whole new era!

Whether it's the use of traditional centre-forwards, the wingers' style of play, the linkage between central midfielders and wingers, and the special positioning of full-backs......

It's something that has rarely been seen in previous competitions.

Everyone believes that Hamburg is currently the most advanced in the Bundesliga from training to play, which is the core reason why Hamburg can beat Bayern.

In his column, Hamburg legend Uwe Schiller said:

"These tactics used by Pan Yi in Hamburg are likely to affect and profoundly change the development of German football and even world football."

"This is not an exaggeration. Countless coaches have sought tactical perfection but have always been unable to do so. And Pan Yi's approach seems to provide them with a ready-made answer. ”

"Pep Guardiola claimed to have been inspired by Pan Yi after the game, and publicly called Pan Yi an absolute tactical genius."

"Considering that Pan Yi was called a genius by Allegri when he was an assistant coach in Milan, I think the good coaches have the same opinion of him."

"Perhaps, in the past two years, countless coaches have begun to study the advanced tactics brought by Pan Yi and practice them, but we have no way of knowing."

"But after Pan Yi led the team to beat Bayern, this game is bound to attract more people's attention, and Hamburg's tactics in this game will be carried forward around the world because of this."

"Judging from the games in the past two years, Pan Yi's tactical play has always been forward-looking and breakthrough, and he really looks like a genius from the future! ……”

There are even gamers who agree with this.

Veteran players of FM Football Manager said that since FM2012 introduced the role of "in-cut full-back" and began to spread it in FM2013, they have found in countless tests that it is often easier to win games using this full-back tactic in matches.

They have also developed a lot of god formations based on this, so that players can play more easily in the game.

But gamers have also been wondering why gaming companies are adding such positional responsibilities.

This thing is almost non-existent in the real world!

But later, Jack, the game director of SI, mentioned in an interview that the idea of adding an "in-cut full-back" was proposed by the current Hamburg coach Pan Yi.

Pan Yi is the spokesperson of the FM series of games and is also a senior consultant, so SI listened to him.

Then today, that is, in the German Super Cup, Pan Yi vividly interpreted what the so-called "in-cut fullback" is all about in the real game, and how it plays its role in the game.

This proves that Pan Yi actually had an idea about today's tactics for a long time, but he has not yet put them into practice - according to Pan Yi's later explanation, it was because he felt that the player's ability at that time had not yet met his requirements, so he could only temporarily shelve this new tactical idea.

Looking at it this way, Pan Yi is really a god!

This style of play is really easy to use, both in the game and in reality!

Therefore, Pan Yi is also known as the "FM subversive" by players.

……

Shortly after the Super Cup, Hamburg will have their first round of the German Cup.

Coincidentally, Hamburg has been drawn to Karlsruhe this time!

In fact, this is not a good sign for Hamburg.

The German Cup is divided into six rounds, with a total of 64 teams participating in the first round, which are divided into two groups.

18 First Division teams and 14 Second Division teams are placed in Group 1, while the other 4 promoted teams and 28 lower Division teams are placed in Group 2 to be determined by drawing lots, with the lower division in the first round having the right to play at home.

Karlsruhe won the Bundesliga last season and have just been promoted to the second division this season.

And their goal in the Bundesliga this season is also to fight for the top three, and want to make a second jump into the Bundesliga.

In other words, Karlsruhe is theoretically the strongest team that Hamburg can draw!

However, the result of this draw made the media quite excited.

After all, Hamburg was knocked out by Karlsruhe in the first round last season, which also sparked a discussion about whether Pan Yi was a parallel import;

And now, when the two meet again, there will surely be more topics!

Now that Pan Yi and Hamburg have just beaten Bayern to win the Super Cup, it can be said that they are in the limelight, so can Karlsruhe cause another upset?

Can Hamburg defeat Karlsruhe in one fell swoop?

It's better than Hamburg playing a team at regional level in Germany.

Therefore, at the press conference before the game, many reporters thought about arching the fire and wanted to guide Pan Yi to say some cruel words such as "revenge".

But Pan Yi just said lightly, "This is just an ordinary German Cup, we'll see you on the field" and ended the press conference, so that the reporters were not disappointed.

For the German Cup, Pan Yi really wants to go further, and is even ready to win it.

But it is also true that it is not as important as the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Therefore, Pan Yi will also use rotation players as much as possible to play in the German Cup to avoid fatigue and even injury caused by the main team playing too many games.

And it's not what it used to be.

Hamburg's squad is not as thick as last season's.

Not to mention that the successive introduction of new signings has greatly enriched the strength of the team, let's just say that those substitute players who have been staying in the Hamburg team have greatly improved their abilities after more than a year of guidance and training by Pan Yi and the coaching staff.

Young players like Lin Zhijian and Calhanoglu are naturally raising the ball, and even "veterans" like Westerman and Janssen are also like being reborn, and their understanding of the entire technique and tactics has reached a new level.

- Actually, they are not old, they are not even 30 years old, they are just a little old compared to the other players in Hamburg right now.

Therefore, when formulating the list of 18 players for this German Cup, Pan Yi did not even bring a few regular starters.

Forwards: Mitrovic, Lin Zhijian, Wu Lei, Vardy, Best.

Midfielders: Calhanoglu, Paulinho, Hasebe, De Bruyne, Arslan.

Defenders: Janssen, Westerman, Kjaer, Dickmeier, Van Dijk, Jonatan Tower.

Goalkeepers: Drobney, Neuhouse.

The people in this list, such as Best, Arslan, and Jonatan Tower, were all promoted by Pan Yi from the reserve team this season.

Their strength is actually good, and they can all reach the level of the Bundesliga.

Arslan, who plays as a midfielder, is flexible and skillful and has good vision, while striker Best is fast and has some long-range shooting ability.

Especially Jonatan Tower, the 17-year-old defender is tall and strong, 195cm tall and weighs 95kg!

He played from the German Under-16 team to the Under-19s and will be selected for the national team in the future and play for a strong team like Bayer Leverkusen.

Of course, there is a more important reason for selecting them: they are all produced by the Hamburg Academy and are Hukou players!

Like Lin Zhijian, Jonatan Ta is even his own child born and raised in Hamburg, and he is the crown prince!

This can also be regarded as Pan Yi's preparation for the Champions League registration.

At that time, the registration list of the Champions League can be reported for 25 players over the age of 21, which must include 4 "trained by the association" players + 4 "trained by the club", which is often referred to as 4+4.

It is important to note that "upbringing" here has nothing to do with nationality.

For example, in the current Hamburg team, Son Xingmin and Lin Zhijian are "club-trained" players.

So with the addition of Arslan and Best, who are both 22 years old, there are 4 such hukou players, which also meets the needs of Champions League registration.

As for Jonatan Tower, he is only 17 years old, and he only needs to register for the B list (it can be understood that there is no need to register, and he will go directly when the time comes).

And there are even more "association-trained" players in the Hamburg team, Calhanoglu, Rudiger, Westermann, Dickmeier, Janssen, Neuhaus, these are all and have long overflowed.

Back to this German Cup, Pan Yiyou asked Nalgesmann to watch the first two German second games in Karlsruhe and collected a lot of information about the team's current situation.

He found that the team's usual formation was still the traditional 442.

The double striker is also a common one, one high and one fast, the high striker is the 193cm Dutchman Van der Bizen, and the fast one is the German striker Hennings.

The main style of play is that the wing-backs on both wings feed the ball to the forwards, or the central midfielders rush forward with the ball.

This classic combination of strikers and simple style of play is still quite lethal in the lower leagues, and Karlsruhe has won two consecutive games in the first two rounds.

But for Pan Yi, this is a bit insufficient.

His new 433, specializing in such a traditional 442!

Of course, for the sake of safety, he still lined up more players in the starting lineup who are more familiar with this 433 formation:

Forwards: Mitrovic, Lin Zhijian, Wu Lei.

Midfielders: Calhanoglu, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe.

Defenders: Janssen, Westerman, Kjaer, Dickmeier.

Goalkeeper: Drobney.

Those who were transferred from the reserve team sat on the bench and watched, and then they had a chance to play.

In terms of goalkeepers, the 35-year-old has not been in great form lately, and he himself has revealed his intention to retire after this season.

Therefore, Pan Yi also "righted" the 33-year-old Czech goalkeeper Drobny as the first substitute goalkeeper, so that he got the opportunity to start in this German Cup game.

……

On the evening of August 4, the 30,000-capacity Wilder Park Stadium was already full of people.

Karlsruhe's first round of the German Cup at home to Hamburg is about to begin.

In the home team's dressing room, Karlsruhe head coach Markus Koczynski is asking his players in a loud voice:

"Do you know who we're up against tonight?"

The 42-year-old was the former coach of Karlsruhe II and was the interim coach of Karlsruhe's first team three times until he led the team to the Bundesliga last year.

He has always been known for his passionate speeches.

"Burger!" One player replied loudly, "Bundesliga team Hamburg!" ”

"Yes, they're a Bundesliga team and they just beat Bayern Munich." Koczynski said this while looking directly at his players, "But they are also Hamburg who lost to us in the German Cup last season!" ”

There was a burst of cheers in the locker room.

They played in the Bundesliga last season as part of the Bundesliga, so the squad hasn't changed much since they were promoted to the Bundesliga, and many players played in last season's German Cup.

"I've got their starting line-up." Koczynski continued, "Compared to the starters in the game against Bayern a few days ago, only one centre-forward is still there and the other 10 are all changed. What does this mean? ”

"They look down on us!" Some players said indignantly.

"Yes, they look down on us!" Koczynski nodded, "That head coach Pan Yi from the Dragon Country, he actually dares to look down on us!" He's been clamoring all day to win the Bundesliga, to beat Bayern, so he doesn't take a second division team like us seriously. No, in his eyes, all teams except Bayern are wreck! ”

Koczynski's voice grew louder and louder, and the players on the scene were infected.

It's so contemptuous of people!

"But he seems to have forgotten that we beat them before! Last season, they came here at almost the same time, in the same place, with the same pride, and were beaten by us just as much! ”

"We also have to give our best performance, in front of Pan Yi and Hamburg, tell them fiercely that the team in the Bundesliga, at least we Karlsruhe, are not soft persimmons to be kneaded by them!"

"They can beat Bayern and we can beat them too!"

"Tell me, are you a wreck?"

"Not !!!" The players stood up and shouted in unison.

"Very well, go out and prove it to me!"

……

As Koczynski walked into the court, Pan Yi smiled and shook his hand.

Koczynski, on the other hand, shook it politely with a straight face, "hummed" from his nostrils, and then let go and walked to the home team's bench, without even saying a word.

The atmosphere is set to this point, wouldn't it be a waste if you laugh?

And Pan Yi was baffled.

You don't owe him any money, do you?

How is it fierce?

"You're now the target of German football." Nagelsmann on the side smiled and stabbed Pan Yi in the waist.

"How?" Pan Yi turned around.

"You led the team to win Bayern!" Nagelsmann said, "Didn't the shot bird in the head? And we Germans generally have a strong sense of self-esteem, and your full-rotation lineup may be a sign of disrespect for the opponent in the hearts of others, so it is normal for him to be a little angry. ”

"Rub, my own player, who doesn't have something to say?" Pan Yi pinched his nose, "That's okay." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'll just prove that I really don't look down on them. Because of our lineup, it's enough to knock them down! ”

……

Amid the cheers of more than 20,000 Karlsruhe fans, the first round of the German Cup officially kicked off with the referee's whistle.

When Karlsruhe's striker Vanderbee kicked the ball to teammate Hennings, the Hamburg front trident, who had been ready to play, quickly rushed into Karlsruhe's half, approached the opponent's hinterland, and began to press forward.

This is the tactical requirements of this game formulated by Pan Yi.

Since the current two fullbacks Janssen and Dickmeier are not as good as Robertson and Carvajal in terms of ability, and it is difficult to implement the adduction full-back style of play perfectly, Pan Yi is to let them continue to play as normal fullbacks.

At the same time, Pan Yi asked the midfield to strengthen the frontcourt to press more intensively, so as to suppress the ball in the opponent's half to the greatest extent, so that it doesn't matter whether it is adducted or not.

And a Bundesliga team like Karlsruhe, especially last season, who was still playing in the Bundesliga, in that environment the technique is rough and the pace of attack and defense is relatively slow, if Hamburg comes up and comes up with an all-out press, they will definitely not be able to adapt to it.

So, after the opening whistle, Hamburg's midfield was all pressed over.

At the forefront was the tall, immensely strong Mitrovic.

Although he is definitely not fast, due to his mass and momentum, Karlsruhe has a sense of pressure when facing his press, and forces them to pass the ball to their teammates to avoid his edge.

Today's Wu Lei is playing as a left winger, which can be regarded as a small acceptance of Pan Yi's recent training results.

Lin Zhijian, on the other hand, plays as a right winger.

Although this guy mainly operates in the winger position, he has recently played under Pan Yi as an all-round warrior, playing in almost every position except for central defender and goalkeeper.

This can be regarded as Pan Yi's requirement for rotation players, that is, to be able to adapt to as many positions as possible.

After all, there are only 18 people on the registration list for each game, in addition to the starting 11 and a substitute goalkeeper, in fact, there are only 6 substitutes who can really be used.

Normally, these six men are two strikers, two midfielders, and two defenders.

Imagine if all six of them could only play one position, they wouldn't be able to cover 10 holes on the pitch at all.

For example, if these two defenders are substituted, one will only play at centre-back and the other will only play at left-back, who should be replaced if the right-back is injured or has to make tactical adjustments?

Therefore, all-rounders like Janssen and Westerman, including Lin Zhijian, are still very useful, and it is also conducive to the diversification of Pan Yi's adjustment on the field.

Now on the field, Lin Zhijian and Wu Lei are working with Mitrovic to press and scramble on Karlsruhe's backfield.

The trio were followed by three of Hamburg's midfielders.

Calhanoglu, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe, they also went straight to the opponent's hinterland, and built a "protective net" around the center line to prevent the ball from crossing the halfway line.

This made the small number of Hamburg fans who came to cheer on the away side of the stadium very excited.

This opening is about to take off!

They also cheered for Hamburg with passionate cheers to the boos of the Karlsruhe fans!

And soon, the first shot of the game came on goal.

Paulinho grabbed the goalkeeper's big foot and distributed the ball to the left.

I saw Janssen quickly cut forward along the left side and strode forward with the ball.

Without waiting for the defenders to be in place, he passed the ball to Wu Lei in front of him and went up by himself.

Wu Lei didn't stop the ball and directly handed the ball to Janssen, completing this set of edge coordination that he often practiced in training.

Janssen interjected and stopped, then passed with his left foot.

Aleksandar Mitrovic in the middle of the pitch rushed forward like a heavy tank and rushed to the goal, pressing the opposing central defender and heading the goal.

Unfortunately, the ball went over the crossbar and slid out of the goal!

……

This attack made Koczynski jaw-dropping on the sidelines.

That's too fast, right?

How much time has passed since the opening? Is there any thirty seconds? Hamburg had already had their first shot on goal.

And it's Karlsruhe that kicks off!

The pressure on the burger is too strong!

They couldn't get a few passes at the back, so the goalkeeper had no choice but to kick the ball and then give the ball to the opposition.

Then Hamburg launched this very dangerous attack.

Karlsruhe's defense simply can't stop it!

Even, I didn't react at all!

My God! Is this Hamburg really made up entirely of substitutes???

This kind of tacit understanding and this kind of tactical execution feel stronger than the main force of most Bundesliga teams!

Karlsruhe are a Bundesliga team, but they were upset in the German Cup last season when they were still in the Bundesliga.

In addition to beating Hamburg, they also beat strong opponents along the way, directly reaching the round of 16, and finally only lost to Freiburg, who played with the main force with a score of 0:1.

So, Koczynski has seen a real Bundesliga team.

But he had never seen such a terrifying oppressive force today!

Compared to some other teams that also pay attention to pressing, Hamburg has more pressing and dedication in the front court!

At the same time, the burger is also faster overall, sharper and more concise.

Whether it's a local counter-attack when switching from offense to defense, or a quick counterattack when switching from defense to offense, they all play very quickly.

As a result, Karlsruhe couldn't even play an attack in the first five minutes.

Hamburg, on the other hand, is still on the offensive again and again.

In the 7th minute, this time it was Lin Zhijian on the right side who forced a breakthrough with the ball, went to the right side of the front of the penalty area, and sent a horizontal pass.

Mitrovic turned his back to the ball and Paulinho stepped in and fired a powerful blast into goal.

The ball goes straight into the top left corner of the goal.

"Goalllllllll!!!!ll

7 minutes, just 7 minutes!

Karlsruhe's defense lasted only 7 minutes before it was punctured by Hamburg!
