Chapter 254: If the sky is lovely, the sky will be old
"In the 65th minute, Hamburg took the lead in making the first substitution of the game."
"Pan Yi replaced No. 15 Salah with No. 7 Wu Lei."
"It's a bit of a surprise. Because Wu Lei plays more left winger this season, he often replaces Son Xingmin when he plays. ”
"And we saw that this time Wu Lei was replaced and still stood in the position of right winger. This is also a counterpoint substitution. ”
"Replacing a left-footed player with a right-footed player, is Pan Yi going to play a winger to cross? That's what he used to do last season. ”
"The game has been played so far, Manchester City has always dominated the field, does Pan Yi want to use this substitution to turn the situation around?"
……
When Wu Lei changed to the field, Pan Yi had already instructed him:
"Now their left-back Kolarov is a bit of a drop in fitness, and when you go up, you use your speed to rush him! Then resolutely make a cross from the bottom, sweep it in front of the door, or sweep it backwards in an inverted triangle! ”
Salah wasn't in great form today and felt completely handled by Kolarov.
After changing Wu Lei to go up, because the two strikers have different playing habits and different feet, it will definitely make the other party uncomfortable.
And Wu Lei's physical fitness is more abundant, but Kolarov is a little unable to run due to the desperate running at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
With this coming and going, Hamburg's attack on the right can certainly be revitalized.
In addition, Pan Yi's "sweep in front of the goal" big move is also to see the opponent's central defenders Kompany and Demichelis' ability to defend the ball in front and behind the ball is still very good.
This doesn't even need to be explained by Pan Yi to the players on the field.
Hamburg has practiced a variety of combinations of personnel in the winger position in training, whether it is a double reverse foot, a double straight foot, or a left and right side, left and right side, everyone knows how to play and how to cooperate with it.
And Pan Yi's substitution is obviously a kind of "cup dropping".
Everyone understands that the counteroffensive is about to begin!
The Manchester City players on the pitch immediately felt a noticeable difference.
Hamburg is no longer stepping back to defend!
They showed aggressive spirit, began to gradually press the defensive line, and also began to press Manchester City with high intensity.
Hamburg seemed to have changed teams all at once, and the offensive passion of the whole team was ignited instantly!
And this sudden wave of attacks caught Manchester City a little off guard.
After all, they had been pressing the hamburger all the time, and the rhythm was controlled by themselves.
But as soon as Hamburg accelerated so suddenly, Manchester City suddenly couldn't adapt to it, and the kick was a little embarrassed, and the scene suddenly fell into passivity.
Just three minutes after the substitution, after a combination with right wing-back Carvajal, Wu Lei suddenly accelerated to shake off Kolarov's defense, and rushed directly to the bottom line to sweep the ball to the goal.
Jamie Vardy got on the ball and fired a light back-heel shot that went just wide of the far post.
Although he didn't enter, he was still shocked by the cold sweat of everyone in Manchester City.
It was Hamburg's most dangerous shot since the opening kick-off!
And just three minutes later, Hamburg made a comeback.
This time, it was Son Heung-min on the left who took a step to the penalty line and kicked a curling shot straight at the goal, but the ball was saved by Joe Hart and went out of the bottom line.
After De Bruyne's corner, Rudiger headed in but it flew off the crossbar.
There was a lot of noise in front of Manchester City's gate for a while.
……
Since Pan Yi's substitution adjustment and Hamburg began to counterattack aggressively, Pellegrini's face has not looked good.
The Chilean engineer was pacing with his back on the sidelines, and he was also thinking about a substitution.
What he feared was finally going to happen.
Manchester City have never been able to score a second goal, and Hamburg's physical advantage is now starting to come into play!
Therefore, he also has to think about how to adjust to deal with the sudden change of speed in Hamburg, and how to ensure the intensity of the players on the court at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
But he doesn't really have a good choice.
The best players are on the field!
On the bench, there are also substitute center Negredo, midfielder Milner, defenders Klich and Lescott, etc., but none of them are the kind of people who can go up and change the situation on the field immediately.
Moreover, the attack of Hamburg was only a matter of a few minutes.
Except for those few minutes, the performance of these Manchester City players on the pitch has been good.
On the left flank, in particular, the attacking campaign led by Kolarov and David Silva has been playing well, dominating the entire wing of Hamburg at one point.
So Pellegrini still needs to think carefully again.
If Klich replaces Kolarov, will it be a negative effect?
After all, if the left side can't hold Hamburg down, then they have to press it down, which makes it harder to kick.
But now Manchester City's players are indeed a little unable to run, especially Kolarov, who was a little embarrassed when he was broken through by Wu Lei just now......
What to do?
What to do?
While Pellegrini was hesitating, an exclamation suddenly erupted from inside the Etihad Stadium!
Manuel Pellegrini looked intently and saw Hamburg's midfielders N'Golo Kante and Casemiro scramble at the same time, snatching the ball from Fernandinho's feet and then handing it to Kevin De Bruyne.
De Bruyne sent a through ball directly into the right flank.
Wu Lei rushed like a bolt of lightning, used his speed to push the ball to the baseline, and once again forced his way through Koladov's defense.
When he reached the bottom line on the right side, Wu Lei glanced up and found that at this time, Vardy's side was already heavily guarded by Manchester City, but there were more gaps in the front of the penalty area.
That's what Vardy has to play for him.
His agile movement tends to attract a lot of attention from the defence, allowing the entire area from the centre of the box to the penalty spot.
At this time, this area is shrouded in a dark shadow, it is Kanter, who has a wide coverage!
Wu Lei no longer hesitated, his ankle buckled inward, and an inverted triangle was sent to the diagonal back.
N'Golo Kante got his hands on the ball with ease.
But he still watched ahead and tried to get the ball to a team-mate in a better position.
At this time, Pan Yi's shouting on the sidelines sounded in his ears: "Pick! Give me a pick! ”
As if a conditioned reflex, Kanter heard Pan Yi's instructions, and his brain stopped thinking.
He threw his big foot and used his right foot to pull a powerful shot straight at goal.
Due to the full force, when Kante's right instep touched the surface of the ball, the ball even showed a noticeable deformation, and then the ball flew towards the goal with a "bang" like a cannonball.
Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart was watching intently as N'Golo Kante received the ball, but even so, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
At the same time as the ball was shot, Joe Hart's whole body bounced out like a spring and pounced on the ball.
Unfortunately, it was a little late.
Just as his fingertips seemed to touch the ball, it whizzed into the left-hand goal, shaking the net behind Joe Hart.
Poor Joe Hart fell to the ground, his eyes staring straight at the ball rolling to the ground, and ten thousand grass and mud horses ran by in his heart:
"Wang Defa? Why is it another world wave? ”
"Hey, I just scored a goal, why do I say 'again'?"
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"In the 72nd minute, Hamburg equalized!"
"Wu Lei, who had just come on as a substitute, sent a wonderful inverted triangle cross on the right side, and the shot that Kante inserted after was full of power and played quite well."
"It was a wonderful offensive combination, a beautiful world wave!"
"Ah, the real-time speed test just now shows that Kante's shot just now reached a speed of 143 kilometers per hour...... It's horrible! No wonder Joe Hart was already stretching his movements, but he still couldn't get the ball! ”
'It's not the way Kante shoots, but he played it in this game!'
"Now the score is 1:1, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose the game!"
After Pan Yi saw Kante's goal on the sidelines, the whole person almost rushed out of the command area with excitement, and the whole person raised his hands and cheered loudly.
"Well passed, Wu Lei! Shoot well, Kante! Pan Yi shouted.
He allowed N'Golo Kante to shoot straight at goal, of course, because he saw that there weren't too many defenders around Kante at the time, and his team-mates in front of him were all watching.
If you hesitate any longer, you will miss the opportunity to shoot.
The bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, even if they are as strong as Kante, they can't see so clearly from God's perspective, so Pan Yi yelled and reminded.
And another reason is because Manchester City is standing in front of the ......
Joe Hart.
In the world of football, there has always been a saying:
If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and I saw Hartmund kick.
Joe Hart has already played the role of the world's best defender on more than one occasion, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the youngest goalkeepers in football.
Shot 1:
In the second leg of the 2010-2011 Manchester derby, 78 minutes into the game, Nani crossed from the right, Rooney took advantage of the momentum, and the right-footed barb flew straight into the far corner of the goal, and Joe Hart in front of the goal line did not react in the slightest.
This stroke of genius was later voted the Premier League's best goal of 20 years by the Premier League.
Shot 2:
In a warm-up match at the end of 2012, Sweden beat England 4-2 at home, and Ibrahimovic completed his quadruple in the game.
It was a nightmare day for Shawcross, who defended Ibrahimovic, and for Joe Hart, he will remember for the rest of his life the incredible goal that he scored when Joe Hart burst out of the box to clear the ball and the ball flew towards Ibrahimovic just outside the box.
Ibrahimovic spotted the ball's trajectory and he took a volley into the net from more than 30 yards out. With this goal, Ibrahimovic was awarded the Puskas Prize in 2013.
Shot 3:
In the 2011-2012 season, Stoke City scored an impromptu kick against Joe Hart in a home game against Manchester City, and the high-flying goalscorer claimed after the game that it was the best goal of his career so far.
Crouch picked up the ball on the right side of the pitch, which wasn't a good angle to shoot, but he stopped the ball and picked up his right foot, which made a beautiful arc into the corner.
Shot 4:
In March 2013, in Everton's 2-0 home win over Manchester City, Everton midfielder Leon Osman scored a world wave with a strange external curling that rivaled the long-range shot of Brazilian left-back Robert Carlos.
Hart in front of the goal-line didn't react to Osman's sudden shot, and he only subconsciously looked back after the ball flew into the net.
Lens Five......
Forget it, it's too much, so I won't take stock of the torture of poor Joe Hart.
This is only happening at this point in time, and it is quite famous.
Judging from Pan Yi's impression in his previous life, Joe Hart has eaten more world waves behind......
All in all, Joe Hart has a "meet me and have a higher chance of kicking the world wave" debuff, so Pan Yi always has no problem getting Cantermont a kick.
And the facts have also proved that this rumor and debuff are real!
N'Golo Kante really made a world wave and equalised for Hamburg!
And after that goal, the Etihad Stadium fell into a brief silence.
Then there was a deafening boo!
For Hamburg fans, for Pan Yi, Kante's goal was a very beautiful world wave;
But for Manchester City fans, it's a disaster!
Because it was a valuable away goal for Hamburg!
This means that from this point on, Hamburg has already taken the lead in the two-legged knockout round!
City's hierarchy are eager to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, and so are the City fans.
Now, Manchester City have been unable to attack for a long time but have been scored by Hamburg instead, and their frustration is beginning to vent.
It's a different story in Hamburg.
Especially Kante, who played out of the world, he was very excited.
He went to the away team's fan zone to celebrate, and then ran to the away team's bench to high-five and hug head coach Pan Yi.
Almost halfway across the pitch, he returned to his own half to kick off.
And Pan Yi immediately gave his own instructions, that is, continue to press, continue to be fast-paced, and continue to attack!
In the media seat, the commentator was also full of praise for Pan Yi:
"Pan Yi's on-the-spot command is truly breathtaking."
"The substitution had an immediate effect, and Hamburg's attack came up all at once. That is, in a few minutes or so, Wu Lei, who came on as a substitute, delivered a wonderful assist. ”
"This isn't the first time we've seen such a magical plot. Pan Yi has staged this kind of substitution and adjustment many times last season and this season to turn the game around! ”
"And Kante's shot this time, judging from slow motion, was also affected by Pan Yi's shouting on the sidelines."
"This young marshal of the Dragon Kingdom, is there really any magic that can inject strength into his players to kick out the world waves? Haha just kidding. ”
But just from his quick goal after this substitution, it can be a testament to his coaching ability. His ability to see and adjust to the game is truly second to none in the world today! ”
"We could even say that he is already a world-class coach!"
"And Manchester Manchester's Manuel Pellegrini was clearly a bit defeated. After all, a 1-1 home score is not a good result for Manchester City. If you go to the People's Park stadium with such a score, presumably Manchester City will not be able to get any good fruit to eat. ”
"Hamburg have won all their games at home this season and are a real devil's home! Uh, well, they drew at home to AC Milan in the Champions League group stage, but that one ...... How to put it, it doesn't really count. ”
"Anyway, Pellegrini should have to figure it out now. There seems to be a bit of a problem with the fitness of their players, and they are not running as aggressively as they used to be. So what will be the choice of Chilean engineers, to stabilize the status quo or to attack again? ……”
Also in the media gallery, the Sky Sports guest seats are much quieter.
Gary Neville: "......"
Carragher: "??? ”
Gary Neville: "......!! ”
Carragher: "Huh. ”
Gary Neville: "╮(╯▽╰)╭"
Carragher: "Otherwise, you should say something, otherwise the audience will think that their TV is broken and there is no sound." ”
Gary Neville: "It was just an accident. It's not over yet......"
Carragher: "It's not over yet, so Hamburg still has a chance to overtake the score?" ”
Gary Neville: "Enough! Let's continue to watch the game in peace! ……”
……
Five minutes later, Manuel Pellegrini had to replace Kolarov with Klich to strengthen the team's defense on the left.
The hamburger attack is too fierce these days!
Especially on the side of Kovrov's town, Vardy, De Bruyne, Wu Lei, and Carvajal were attacking it in turn, and they were almost going to kill the Serb.
He really can't run!
Although the price of replacing him is the weakening of Manchester City's attack on the wings, Pellegrini can't care so much now.
If you concede another goal, it's really too late!
And this substitution effect is obviously okay, Klich has reduced the embarrassing situation of being blown up on the left side to a certain extent, and Manchester City's defense has become a little more solid.
Pellegrini made a second substitution.
He replaced Aguero with Negredo!
It's a big gamble.
Negredo is a true centre-forward, with a height of 186cm and a weight of 83kg undoubtedly a good template for a centre-forward.
His individual skills are not delicate and his speed is not too fast, but he has a super catch-adjustment-shooting ability, whether it is a cross from the wing or a through ball in the middle, whether it is a high ball over the top or a low cross on the ground, he always finds the right way to shoot.
Even on some difficult incoming balls, he will try to adjust his pace and body and force his feet.
With a center forward with a somewhat similar characteristics to Dzeko, replacing Aguero, who can be tandem behind Dzeko and more flexible, Pellegrini is going to play a two-center forward strategy.
This is actually related to the last substitution.
With Kolarov down, City lacked a spot up front to pick up and shoot, while Klich was still okay with a wide cross.
So Pellegrini just hopes to be able to change some of his style of play through such substitutions and adjustments, and continue to attack Hamburg's goal.
After all, a draw is a satisfactory result for Hamburg, but Manchester City is unacceptable!
It's just that such a substitution will definitely bring some problems.
Without Sergio Aguero's drop-back and running passes, City's attacking midfield will certainly be greatly affected.
So it's a gamble.
But now Pellegrini really doesn't have much of a choice.
Bo Yibo, bicycle into motorcycle!
In the 82nd minute, Pan Yi also made a second substitution adjustment.
This time he changed two people at once.
Paulinho up, Casemiro down.
Aleksandar Mitrovic up, Vardy down.
The formation has not changed to 433, but the style of play has obviously changed.
The appearance of high school striker Mitrovic can be more adapted to the current style of play of the wingers on the field (Son Xingmin's bipedal attributes allow him to switch his style of play freely);
And Paulinho's arrival is a signal to further strengthen the attack!
The Violent Birds are not as good as his Brazilian compatriot Casemiro defensively, but his forward propensity and running ability are much stronger.
And he also has a knack for shooting violently!
When facing Joe Hart, maybe he can make this skill better.
And Pan Yi's two substitutions are also clearly telling the players in Hamburg to continue attacking!
Nalegrini's two-centre-forward tactics were a trick at this point, as it gave the Hamburg midfielder more control.
City's players are no longer able to run, and the quality of crosses from the flanks is also questionable.
So Hamburg is going to take advantage of this opportunity to launch another onslaught.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Pan Yi doesn't want a draw, he wants a win!
……
Before going on the field, Pan Yi pulled Mitrovic and Paulinho to say a few words, mainly telling them what to do after they went up.
Mitrovic's task is to press into the opposition box and use his strong body to cover his teammates.
In this way, City's defence, especially the centre-backs, had to follow him to defend closely, which would also reduce the defensive pressure on his team-mates at the edge of the box.
And Paulinho did not stand in Casemiro's midfield position after going up, but on the premise, it was not too far from the position of Kante and De Bruyne.
The three of them can also flexibly switch positions to disrupt the opponent's defensive focus.
When Almitrovic's fulcrum role is manifested, when City's defense begins to appear empty, the three midfielders can be plugged in at the right time to give them a fatal blow at the edge of the penalty area!
In other words, this time Pan Yi's adjustment change is to use Mitrovic as a feint, and the midfield trio is the real firepower output point!
Of course, the two wing attacks of Sun Xingmin and Wu Lei are also very important, but they mainly cooperate to pass high-quality high-altitude crosses to Mitrovic, and at the same time try to bomb in the air, they can also do this part of the feint more solidly!
So, when Aleksandar Mitrovic and Paulinho came on the pitch, the Hamburg players seemed to be running more.
The midfield trio is no longer confined to the middle or the wing, dragging behind or rushing forward, they take turns to play, and they constantly threaten Manchester City's forward position.
The same goes for the two wingers.
Son Heung-min and Wu Lei kept attacking City's two wings on either flank, leaving both Klich and Zabaleta a little difficult to handle.
It's coming to an end of the game, but Hamburg can still play such a fierce attack, which makes Manchester City very difficult to parry.
It's just that Manchester City's players have strong individual ability after all, and they also have strong willpower.
Even though their feet were already as uncomfortable as lead, they still insisted on fighting the hamburgers.
Time is ticking by.
The time on the scoreboard is almost 90 minutes, and the score is still 1:1.
The fourth official on the sidelines once again stood up with his sign raised.
This time it's not about substitutions, it's about showing the time of stoppage time.
3 minutes!
