On the evening of December 15, Allianz Arena.

When the players came out to warm up, Pan Yi got Bayern's starting lineup list.

Really......

He didn't guess!

This time, Pep Guardiola has really come up with a new job.

Center forward Mandzukic, goalkeeper Maner, these two positions are not a problem.

But from defender to midfield, Guardiola has put on a whole new combination.

The back line from left to right is Contento, Dante, Van Bitten and Raphinha.

Boateng Jr. and Alaba didn't start!

In this regard, Pan Yi can only guess whether it is because they fought with Manchester City in the middle of the week, and these two players have some problems with physical strength?

Or maybe Guardiola simply wants to use the two central defenders, Dante and Van Bitten, to prevent Mitrovic.

By the way, and a regular starting right-back, what about captain Lahm?

He did start, but this time in a central midfield position.

He replaced Thiago as the lone midfielder in the 4141 formation.

Thiago, on the other hand, stood in front of Lahm and played in central midfield.

On either side of the pitch, there are Muller and Gotze.

Looking at it, Pan Yi had an impression.

That's pretty much the same lineup for Bayern Munich in the second half against Borussia Dortmund when they travel to Westphalen this season.

Pan Yi happened to go to the scene to observe that scene.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and then Pep Guardiola offered the hand of Lahm to play in the back, and finally scored three goals in a row to win Borussia Dortmund.

It seems that the defeat against Manchester City forced Guardiola to make adjustments and choose this set of 4141 that has proven to be successful.

This can also see the pressure on Guardiola in this game.

No matter how much he loves to work, he will use a winning lineup in such an important game......

'With Lahm at the back, their defense is really better connected to the back, but the attack on the wing is also weakened. Inzaghi frowned and looked at the list in his hand, "What's the trouble with Guardiola?" ”

Indeed, neither Contento nor Raphinha is honestly a player of the level of Lahm or Alaba.

They may be able to do their job defensively, but it's a bit of a tough stretch to ask them to be as good as Lahm.

"I don't think after we won them in the Super Cup, Pep Guardiola had any scruples about the line-up of the leaders." "So even if it's playing at home, Bayern want to stabilize their position first, and don't want to take too many risks. ”

Pan Yi nodded, and analyzed very firmly: "He should indeed be very entangled now. Don't dare to take risks, afraid of losing the ball first, and want to win...... But that's our chance. ”

Whether Pan Yi was a fan in his previous life or a coach in this life, his perception of Guardiola is indeed inescapable.

It's because he often thinks too much and gets too entangled before the game, which will cause him to often have the behavior of "rectifying" the competition.

But Pan Yi won't have so many mental activities, once he recognizes his tactical policy, it's just a word!

'So when the players come back, we're going to have to emphasise the restrictions on Lahm as a midfielder. He hasn't played as a central midfielder too much, so maybe he doesn't feel very good in that position, so we have to take advantage of that. ”

"Also, if they don't dare to attack, then we will press on both sides and press them completely in place, which will make our defense have no worries."

"In the end, whatever they are afraid of, we will give them! From the second the whistle blows, we are going to press the Bayern goal with the most force, suffocating them and making them unable to respond in time! ”

……

Now the Allianz Arena is bustling and bustling, although the players from both sides have not yet entered, but the atmosphere is already very strong.

Even outside the stadium, the voices of fans can be heard from all directions.

Obviously, the outside is also crowded with Bayern fans who can't grab tickets, and many places are also using open-air screens to broadcast the game live.

And today's stadium was full of friends.

Not to mention all kinds of celebrities around the world, there are a dozen famous names in Bayern Munich alone.

In the song of "Forever Number One", the broadcast cameras show the faces sitting in the stands one by one in front of the world's fans: Uli Hoeness, Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Karl Rummenigge, Oliver Kahn......

Every time a face appears, the more than 70,000 fans in the Allianz Arena burst into applause.

Some of these people are at home, and some are working at Bayern's top management, but without exception, they all represent the glorious history of Bayern Munich's century-old club!

Or rather, Bayern's history was created by these people!

The last two Germans to receive applause were the two Germans sitting next to each other.

They are two managers who are still in office.

One is the head coach of the US national team, Jurgen Klinsmann, and the other is the head coach of the German national team, Loew.

Klinsmann, although he has not been in Bayern for a long time, after all, he has a relationship with Bayern when he was a player and a coach, and he is also a Bayern celebrity;

Aside from this, the "Golden Bomber" is also the coach who won the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship on behalf of Germany, and coached Germany to win the third place in the 2006 World Cup.

Loew is the current head coach of the German national team, and his current players are also formed with Bayern players as the team.

In the same way, his national team has performed very well in the past few World Series.

For the coach who is about to lead the team to the 2014 World Cup, Bayern fans can be regarded as representing the German fans to give him applause and encouragement.

In the camera, these two people are chatting.

The two of them worked together as early as the 2006 World Cup, and the relationship has always been very good.

Klinsmann was the head coach of the German national team at the time, so Loew was invited to be the head assistant.

Later, after Klinsmann left, Loew also took over the reins smoothly.

Interestingly, in the upcoming 2014 World Cup, the German team and the United States team will be placed in the same group, and the two German coaches will also face each other.

"If my German team wins against you, you'll have to treat me to dinner." Loew was smiling at Klinsmann.

"No problem." Klinsmann readily agreed, "But if the U.S. team wins the German team, you will have to invite me to dinner." ”

After a few seconds, Klinsmann suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to glare at Loew again: "It's not fair." The German players are much better than our American team. Well, if you tie, you will lose, and you will still have to invite me to dinner. ”

Loew shook his head helplessly: "Okay." ”

"It looks like it's been a loss...... Klinsmann snorted, pointing to the Bayern starting lineup list that was being displayed on the big screen above the Allianz Arena, "You look at these people, Neuer, Lahm, Muller, Kroos, Gotze...... Which one is not better than my teammates? I don't even have many players in the top five leagues in my team, and I have to consider calling Green, Bayern's second team, ......"

"Hey, hey." Loew smiled slyly and asked casually, "Then who do you think will win today's game?" ”

"Then you don't need to say, Bayern." Klinsmann replied, "Although Hamburg is in good form, it is still a dark horse at best, and in terms of player strength, Bayern has the advantage, and today is Bayern's home stadium." You know the Bayern players best, isn't that true? ”

Loew shook his head slightly: "If I hadn't studied at the Hamburg club for a while, I would probably have the same opinion as you." But to be honest, Coach Pan Yi's advanced tactical concepts and meticulous pre-game preparation really shocked me, so I thought Hamburg would win this game. ”

"Won't it?" Klinsmann raised his eyebrows, "Bayern haven't lost a Bundesliga game here for two years, and Hamburg lost the last time they came here, do you really think Pan Yi can break this kind of record?" ”

Loew also pointed to the big screen: "Yes." Just looking at the starting line-ups of both sides, I think Bayern will lose......"

Loew is now a staunch "Pan Blow" and feels that Pan Yi's tactical thinking represents the most advanced level of world football today.

But he is also a high-level coach himself, so naturally he will analyze this game from a more comprehensive and objective factor.

Because the outcome of a football match is often not only the game itself, but also the various preparations before the game, and even the arrangement of pushing forward a month.

From the pre-match point of view, Hamburg did a better job than Bayern in terms of preparation and player adjustment.

They don't have any serious injuries and are full of personnel to play with a full squad that has been well rested.

Bayern, on the other hand, have several players who have been plagued by injuries and just played a tough game against Manchester City in midweek, and most of the players who started now were involved in that game, and even if they are still physically strong, the team's form may not be guaranteed.

After listening to Loew's words, Klinsmann thought for a moment and said, "There is some truth in what you say. But the state and preparation can only level the gap between Hamburg and Bayern in terms of player quality at most. Therefore, the outcome of this game still depends on the tactical arrangements and on-the-spot command of the coaches of both sides. ”

"And that's Pan Yi's strength." Loewle was happy, "You haven't watched the Super Cup, have you?" At that time, Pan Yi could be said to have played Guardiola around. And when playing Barcelona, Pan Yi attacked the left-back Adriano all over the field, and almost made the Brazilian cry. And the on-the-spot command is even more powerful, such as ......"

As soon as he talked about Pan Yi's tactics and command, Loew seemed to be unable to stop talking.

"I really didn't expect you to have such a high regard for this young coach." There was a hint of surprise in Klinsmann's eyes, "It seems that I have to re-examine this Pan Yi." ”

The two of them are good friends who often chat with each other, and they can be regarded as talking about all the best coaches in the world.

But even when it comes to godfather-level coaches like Cruyff and Ferguson, Loew doesn't seem to be as excited as Pan Yi when he mentions Pan Yi.

"Not only is he tactically prowess, he's also one of the best dressing room managers and motivators I've ever met." "In his team, there are hardly any complaints. Even in private, all you hear is praise and reverence. ”

"So exaggerated?" Klinsmann's mouth widened.

If a coach has a very high level of tactics and strong on-the-spot command ability, this is actually nothing special, there are still many high-level coaches in this world.

But it's too difficult for a coach to be able to do dressing room harmony without even any noise.

Strong as Pep Guardiola and Klopp, and iron fists such as Ferguson and Mourinho, there will be some news of conflicts with players.

For example, Pep Guardiola and Ibrahimovic, Alex Ferguson and David Beckham.

Needless to say, Mourinho is too much.

After all, every player is an individual and has an independent personality.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In addition, the team itself is a group full of external competition and internal competition, such a group is easy to breed conflicts.

You can only start 11 people per game, and you can only play 14 people at most, and then the players will play well or badly, and the game will be won or lost, which will affect the mood of the players on the field and the substitutes.

No matter what a coach does, it's hard to keep everyone happy.

But now that Loew's evaluation of Pan Yi is so high, can he really achieve "zero negative reviews"? Klinsmann, of course, will not be calm.

"How did he do it?" Klinsmann asked curiously.

"I haven't been around for long, and I probably don't know much about it." Loew shrugged his shoulders, "But it is said that Pan Yi will often chat with the players, not only about tactics, but also about life, games and the like." In this way, he has a close relationship with the players, and the players will tell him directly if they have any ideas, which reduces a lot of communication costs. ”

Klinsmann nodded slightly: "It's a good idea." However, how can he have so much time for this often? ”

"He's not very responsible for the day-to-day training, so it's all up to the assistant coach." "He also has a lot of trust in his coaching staff, so the coaching staff trusts and supports him. ”

"Okay, I guess I get it." Klinsmann touched his famous blonde hair, "After he gets to know the players, then he can clearly understand the characters, abilities and characteristics of the players, and then convey his thoughts and ideas to the players, so that they can form a unified idea." This way they can also act in unison on the field, so doing so can even increase the team's fighting power! ”

Loew nodded, "yes." The harmonious relationship between the teams, coupled with the fact that he often rotates heavily and has a proud record while the players have guaranteed playing time, makes it even more difficult to find fault. ”

Klinsmann suddenly laughed and said, "Since you respect Pan Yi so much, let's take a gamble first." If Bayern wins, you treat me to a late-night snack tonight. If Hamburg wins or draws, then I'll ask you. How, that's fair, right? ”

"It's a deal!" Loew happily agreed.

At this time, with a long voice from the announcer of the stadium, the players of both teams walked into the stadium one after another.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Allianz Arena was instantly pushed to a peak!

……

Different from Guardiola's habitual work, the starting lineup sent by Pan Yi today is the most familiar 433.

Forwards: Son Heung-min, Vardy, Salah.

Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Casemiro, De Bruyne.

Defenders: Robertson, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Carvajal.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

This is also Hamburg's best run-in squad so far this season.

At the same time, after the adjustment of Pan Yi and the coaching staff, this group of players is also the best player in recent times.

It can even be said that Pan Yi has been preparing for this game since a month ago.

His rotation in each game, the recovery of his players and the rest period are also carried out in the order in which he was called up to his best form in this game.

Because Pan Yi really wants to win this game!

It's not just about the "revenge at the Allianz Arena" he dropped last season, it's also about the Bundesliga title this season.

In his opinion, as long as he can win Bayern away from home, the title will really be secure.

Because such a win is really not just three points, maybe six points.

The boost to the morale of the own side and the blow to the morale of the other party, how can it be measured by scores?

And if you lose, it will most likely be catastrophic.

The points will be surpassed by Bayern, and then the halfway championship will be beaten by the chickens and eggs, and after the winter break, I don't know if the Hamburg players can regain the feeling and form of winning.

Therefore, Pan Yi will never allow such a thing to happen!

In terms of formation, he has never been so rigid in a fixed style.

433 is actually just an initial defensive position in the strict sense, allowing players to have an initial understanding of their position.

In the game, the insertion of full-backs, the adduction of wingers, the retreat of the center, and the pulling of the back will make the formation change all the time.

At this time, the player's ability to read the game and the depth of understanding of the coach's tactics are the key to determining whether they can give full play to the power of the formation and whether they can win.

And at present, it is these 11 people on the field who are Pan Yi's best choice!

……

At this time, the broadcast camera was also aimed at the front of the bench.

The coaches of both sides have a routine pre-game handshake.

"Hello, Pep!" Pan Yi smiled and stretched out his hand towards Guardio.

"Hello, Pan Yi." Guardiola smiled, shook hands with Pan Yi, and hugged him heavily.

"This time, let's not talk too long, right?" Pan Yi said.

"Haha...... Guardiola touched his bald head, "no need, I've studied your tactics thoroughly." Just wait and see! ”

"Okay, I'll polish my eyes and see." Pan Yi also pointed to his eyes a little mischievously, and then said, "Good luck!" "I went back to my away bench.

At this time, the TV announcer also said:

"It's a handshake between two of the most exciting young managers in the world right now."

"Although they are now the most direct rivals, the relationship between the two seems to be good. The tension of the game may have affected the two, who haven't been talking for as long as they did in the Super Cup. ”

"Guardiola is 42 years old this year, and he is originally considered a young marshal, but compared with Pan Yi, who is only 27 years old, he is still a little older."

"But Pep Guardiola's achievements are still higher than Pan Yi's. In 2008, he won the treble in his first season in charge at Barça, and in 2009 he won the treble. In 2011, Pep Guardiola led Barcelona to another Champions League title. ”

Although Pan Yi also won the treble when he was in Milan, he was an assistant coach at that time. It's just that when he was younger, he had time to prove himself. ”

"Just this season, the 27-year-old is already leading Hamburg to the Bundesliga title! And his Hamburg team is also the youngest team in the top five leagues! ”

"But a young team led by such a young manager has played incredible attacking football this season, which can be said to have shocked the whole of Europe!"

"Compared with Pan Yi, can Guardiola, who is scheming and calculating, use the advantage of home to stop Hamburg from continuing to move forward in today's game, can he prove to the world that Bayern is a real strong team, and can he prove that their Bundesliga supremacy is also unshakable?"

"Let's look forward to this pinnacle showdown that is destined to be very exciting!"

……

"Wait a minute, keep an eye on their players' running hotspots, and report anything unusual to me at any time."

When the captains of both sides were picking sides, Pan Yi turned to Nagelsmann and said.

Most of Bayern's starters today were not fully rested, and although Pep Guardiola put them on the pitch, it is likely that they will not last long.

And this is also the weakness of Bayern that Pan Yi can grasp.

Pan Yi let his players attack at the beginning and increase the pace of the game, largely because of this.

When you know your strengths and weaknesses, you should try to magnify the advantages and disadvantages of both sides as much as possible in the game.

When the Hamburg players are running and rushing, the Bayern players can only run quickly in order to keep up with the rhythm.

In this way, the physical advantage of the hamburger will be gradually magnified.

As Loew and Klinsmann said, Pan Yi treated this game more like a complete battle.

He has been working on this since a long time ago and is ready for it in every way.

Guardiola, on the other hand, is just a battle for him.

It's not that Guardiola doesn't have the ability to think long-term, but the situation has forced him to make such a decision - after all, he can't afford to lose the top spot in the Champions League group.

The situation of the two teams before the game gave Bayern more weaknesses, and it also gave Pan Yi more breakthrough points that he could use.

Physical fitness is one of them.

Therefore, Pan Yi is now very confident that he will take away an exciting victory at the Allianz Arena!
