Chapter 263: Who is the real King of Manchester

Neville walked peacefully.

The second half was already 80 minutes, but the score became 0:4.

Yes, Manchester United not only failed to chase the score back, but were scored by Hamburg again.

Neville, like many of the fans at Old Trafford, left the stadium early.

This time, he didn't say anything, just stood up silently, left the table, and turned to leave.

It's really serene compared to the chatter that preceded it.

Carragher, an "old friend" who knew Neville's temper well, naturally would not stop him, but just smiled and watched him leave.

In the middle of the pitch, the Hamburg players were hugging and celebrating, and the Hamburg fans in the away stands were cheering.

David Moyes's side did not give up after the start of the second half, and United also worked hard to launch waves of attacks on Hamburg with the onslaught of the home fans.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, sometimes mental power can't make up for technical and tactical deficiencies.

You're tinkering around with just one move, so what can you do to prevent a burger?

Moyes then also made substitutions, and Van Persie, Giggs, Hernandez and other attackers all came on the pitch to try to recover the score with desperate attacks.

But that comes at the cost of further loss of control in midfield, a more understaffed defence, and Hamburg being more comfortable with the ball behind United.

So in the 80th minute, it was De Bruyne's long pass that found Vardy who had successfully countered offside, and he immediately shook off the two Manchester United centre-backs behind him, and then scored the ball easily in front of De Gea.

0:4。

Manchester United lost so badly!

The goal also completely destroyed the confidence of the United fans, who began to walk out of the pitch one after another.

It was at this time that Neville left peacefully.

It's okay to lose, but it's too hard to accept.

This set a record for United's biggest defeat in European competition in recent years, and the last time they lost three goals in a single game was a 3-0 defeat to AC Milan in the semi-finals of the 2006/07 season.

It's been many years!

And the game is not over yet, Manchester United could set the record for the worst defeat in European history!

Clearly, Neville and the rest of the United fans who left the pitch early were lucky.

Because they don't have to see Hamburg's fifth goal again.

In the 89th minute, Manchester United once again attacked Hamburg's penalty area, trying to score a goal to save some face.

Valencia tried to get the ball into the box, but Van Dijk pressed hard against fellow countryman Robin van Persie and headed it out.

Casemiro, standing on the perimeter, judged the spot, stopped the ball and handed it to Makoto Hasebe in front of him, with the Japanese captain already coming on as a substitute for N'Golo Kante on 75 minutes.

At this time, Carrick appeared on the side of Makoto Hasebe, trying to stretch his leg to break the ball.

But Makoto Hasebe was not ready to dribble the ball, but flicked the ball and dialed it to Wu Lei on the side, who was also a substitute in the second half.

After Wu Lei got the ball, he began to stride forward and accelerated to catch up.

Carrick left Makoto Hasebe behind and began to chase after Wu Lei.

And Phil Jones also put his tall body in front of Wu Lei, preventing him from moving on.

Wu Lei slowed down the speed to better control the ball within his body, then looked up at the surroundings and poked the ball in the middle.

There, Makoto Hasebe had already run over to answer again.

At this time, Makoto Hasebe did not stop the ball, but directly crossed the ball with a curling kick, and passed the ball diagonally from the periphery of the left corner of the penalty area to the right side of the front of the small penalty area.

I saw Vardy just in time to catch up with the ball.

After seeing that the opposing defender Vidic was moving quickly to defend, he directly took the lead in the opposite direction.

The ball was headed by Jamie Vardy to the left of the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea was moving to the right when he was suddenly hit in the opposite direction, and he could only sigh at the goal.

“Goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!! It's Vardy again! ”

"0:5 !!!"

"O my God! It was an absolute slaughter! ”

"Hamburg at Old Trafford, staged a massacre!"

"Manchester United's defence has been torn apart again and again. Hamburg basically every time they counterattacked quickly through the midfield, extremely fast and very efficient. ”

"Manchester United were defeated tonight! They look like they're about to set a record for the biggest defeat in European history! ”

"David Moyes's line-up and on-the-spot command, as well as the performance of the Manchester United players, are worth reflecting on. They couldn't attack and the defense was completely blown up by Hamburg, and they were simply powerless to fight back! ”

"At the same time, we have to admire the players at Hamburg and the level of their training. The game was almost over, and they could still run non-stop, which showed their physical advantage. ”

"Although the Champions League knockout round is a two-game match, it can be said that the two legs of Manchester United vs Hamburg are over!"

……

Corresponding to the frenzied celebrations of the Hamburg fans who stood up and walked out of the stadium were the Hamburg fans.

As the commentator said, the Champions League is a two-legged match, so in this game, every extra goal is an extra guarantee of reaching the last four.

No goal is superfluous!

And Hamburg's five goals have clearly basically guaranteed a place in the last four of this season's Champions League.

Can Hamburg fans not be ecstatic in the face of such a result?

On the sidelines, Pan Yi also stood up and high-fived his assistants one by one to celebrate.

Of course he was also pleased.

The players played really well today and even exceeded his expectations!

Five goals!

Playing five Manchester United at Old Trafford is something no one could have imagined before the game.

And such an ending shows that Pan Yi's "contempt" for Manchester United before the game is actually a true judgment of the strength of both the enemy and us.

Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred battles.

And Pan Yi obviously did just that!

He also used Hamburg's quick attack to completely knock Manchester United's classic car to pieces!

……

When Pan Yi walked to the home team's bench to shake Moyes' hand, he still sat there motionless with a lost face.

When the referee blew the final whistle, Moyes felt as if he had been petrified and his head was a mess.

The straw is gone! His managerial career at Manchester United is over!

"Hello?" When Pan Yi's voice sounded in his ears, Moyes stood up with a spirit.

He stretched out his hand and shook Pan Yi very perfunctorily.

He didn't even have the strength to say something like "congratulations" to Pan Yi politely.

All he knew was that in today's game, he was completely defeated by this young man.

Pan Yi, who is proficient in various tactics, is indeed worthy of his reputation!

And Pan Yi looked at the haggard appearance of this good old man, and he felt a little unbearable, so he gently patted him on the shoulder and walked back to the player's tunnel.

But there is no way around it.

Competitive sports are like that.

The stadium does not believe in tears!

Moyes's failure at Manchester United, in addition to his tactical style of play is very incompatible with the characteristics of Manchester United's players, in fact, it is also inseparable from the various management chaos of Manchester United after Ferguson's retirement.

This is why even if Moyes left Manchester United, the next world famous coaches also lost Jingzhou.

No one has the power of Alex Ferguson to control these highly-paid players and manage the entire team, and the various departments are working in silos and have not been able to twist together.

A newcomer like David Moyes is a newcomer who can manage training and direct the game, and nothing else can be done.

In fact, this is also the reason why Pan Yi has been asking for the team's permission.

If the players are all shoehorned in the high-level, or the players are sold indiscriminately without discussion, how can this ball be played?

Maybe even pulling a network cable to the coach's office and buying a few trash cans will have to report for half a day, how can this be efficient?

Of course, David Moyes is not qualified to be a coach at Manchester United.

After all, no matter what, the ability of Manchester United players is still there, better than West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland, Stoke City and the like, right?

But David Moyes still failed to put them together and failed to play the football that United fans wanted to see.

He was better suited to those small and medium-sized teams.

Whether it is Everton before, or Real Sociedad and West Ham United later, don't they all mix very well!

……

With such a disparity in scores, the post-game press conference has also become Pan Yi's personal performance.

However, he did not give Moyes a rock, but modestly stated that the match was a two-legged match, and that Hamburg is not yet secure in the semi-finals, and needs to be careful in the second round.

But everyone knows what that score means.

Manchester United have been crushed at home and will be looking to pull back five goals at the People's Park, which has been a horrific home stadium for two seasons and has kept Hamburg on a near-unmatched winning record???

It's a fool's dream, and it's good to score a goal or two!

However, when facing Sky Sports reporters, Pan Yi was full of sarcastic skills:

"I heard that your guests think that Hamburg can't play in the Premier League, so I want to ask, is it Manchester City who have been expelled from the Premier League, or Manchester United who don't deserve to be in the Premier League?"

"Or do I have to beat all the Premier League teams to really be able to compete with the Premier League teams?"

"Please tell Neville to try his hand at coaching a team on his own, and make sure he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in the future......"

This is a mockery, but also a "teaser".

Because Neville really can't help but be a coach after being a guest commentator for a few years.

Later, La Liga powerhouse Valencia asked him to be the manager, but unfortunately it only lasted four months.

In the course of four months, he led the team to just three wins in 16 rounds of La Liga, picking up 14 points. In addition, the team has also been eliminated from the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in succession.

As a result, his short coaching career came to an end and he returned to the guest seat at Sky Sports.

Neville's experience also shows everyone that coaching is not so good!

It's not like being a commentator or a fan, you can rely on your mouth and keyboard.

To be a good coach, you need to take into account all aspects of things, and you really can't just dictate to a tactical board.

Since then, Neville's mouth seems to have tightened a bit, and he has become more focused on Manchester United's own affairs......

When it was Moyes' turn, he seemed to be in a good mood and generously said that Hamburg's performance was indeed very good.

David Moyes believes that Pan Yi's team is very fast, and they have also taken advantage of the holes in United's defence, playing one efficient attack after another.

At this point, he really failed to tactically curb Hamburg's play and made a big mistake.

When asked about the second leg, Moyes looked a little gloomy, but he replied:

"I'd love to say we have a chance to come back and win, but reason tells me it's not realistic. So we still have to forget the result of this game and play every game for the sake of the United fans! ”

……

"Hamburg swept Manchester United with five goals, and Old Trafford was completely captured!" 》

Is it hard to play in the Premier League? Pan Yi slapped Neville in the face, and the two heroes of Manchester City were both defeated》

Who is the real King of Manchester? Hamburg: Exactly Under

"After the title of King of London was taken away by Bayern Munich, the boss of another important city in the Premier League belongs to Germany! 》

The next day, the headlines in the major sports newspapers undoubtedly belonged to Hamburg and Pan Yi.

Hamburg beat Manchester United away! What an explosive piece of news!

With this victory, Pan Yi once again stood on the cusp of public opinion around the world.

From leading the relegation team Hamburg to win the Bundesliga runner-up, to leading the Bundesliga all the way this season, and then standing out in the group of death in the Champions League, to beating Manchester City by consecutive big scores......

Pan Yi and his burger, the performance can be described as perfect!

And this five-goal victory is even more impressive at the strength of Hamburg now.

Both defensively and offensively, Hamburg played very well.

defend, allowing Manchester United's monotonous and unvaried attack to hit the south wall again and again;

Attack, fast and effective raids have exhausted United's defence.

And such a performance can't help but make people wonder, how far can Hamburg go?

They've almost confirmed their run to the Final Four, so will their next opponent be able to stop Hamburg from moving on?

Of course, until then, it is necessary to know who the other three teams in the final four are.

After all, there is no match between a pair that will be as suspenseless as the match between Hamburg and Manchester United.

First of all, the battle between Real Madrid and Dortmund, an old enemy, is relatively close to the early result.

Real Madrid, who played at home in the first leg, also played at a high level.

They opened the scoring in the third minute through St. Bale, and then on 27 minutes Isco's goal gave Real Madrid a 2-0 half-time lead.

In the second half, Modric assisted Ronaldo's goal, and finally Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3:0!

Although it was a three-goal victory, because the scene of being eliminated by the Hornets last season is vivid, Real Madrid will definitely not dare to take it lightly when they go to the Westphalen Stadium in the second leg.

Then there is the Paris Saint-Germain match against Bayern Munich.

Grand Paris played at home, with Matuidi taking the lead.

But by the 67th minute, Bayern equalized through Piggy Schweinsteiger.

The 1:1 away result is still very good for Bayern.

The last game is Atletico Madrid at home against Chelsea.

The game was a bit dull, with the score of 0:0 maintained until the final whistle and was not broken.

In other words, with the exception of Hamburg, who are more certain to reach the semi-finals with a five-goal win away from home, the other three teams will have to wait for the result of the second leg.

Even if Real Madrid have a three-goal lead, who knows what will happen away from home?

Not to mention the two pairs that drew the first leg.

……

April 5, Bundesliga round 29.

Hamburg host arch-rivals Bayer Leverkusen.

How to arrange this game, in fact, Pan Yi is still quite nerve-wracking.

Due to the short interval between the match with Manchester United on April 2, the main players are actually having problems recovering.

Five days after this game, it will be on April 10 to play Manchester United at home, and in this game, Pan Yi prefers to use rotation players, after all, it will not affect the overall situation.

Then three days, the 30th round of the Bundesliga on April 13, will be fought with the main force.

In other words, the big win away to Manchester United made Hamburg have a bit of problems in the rhythm of rotation, which is not as smooth as before.

After careful consideration, Pan Yi still sent a lineup dominated by rotation players.

After all, you can't let the main players get too tired, you still have to think about their health!

Bayer Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia still offered his defensive counter-attacking lineup, with stabilizing the defense as the first priority.

The game was also more difficult than expected.

After half a season of running-in, Bayer Leverkusen have done a better job defensively than before, limiting Hamburg's attacking players even better.

Hamburg relied on their tactical skills to lay siege to Bayer Leverkusen, but they were never able to find a good chance to score.

It wasn't until the 67th minute of the second half that Hamburg took advantage of a corner kick and was headed by captain Westermann!

Hamburg leads 1-0.

However, it was short-lived, and less than five minutes later, Bayer Leverkusen took advantage of a mistake in Hamburg's midfield pass to fight back, and Kiessling, who had returned to the starting line-up, received a pass from Brandt and equalised with a header.

1:1!

Since then, Pan Yi has continued to make substitutions and adjustments, trying a variety of different offensive lines, and finally it has worked.

In the 83rd minute, Dickmeier threw the ball directly in front of the right side with a quick throw.

Wu Lei sprinted forward as fast as he could, shook off Bayer Leverkusen's left wing-back Bonisch, cut into the right side of the penalty area, and crossed a low ball to the goal.

Substitute Jamie Vardy rushed to goal and fired a tackle into the ball into the net.

2:1!

But the score didn't last until the end.

In the 89th minute, Bayer Leverkusen's young winger Brandt shook the corner of the box in succession, flashed the angle and kicked a tricky shot to break the door guarded by Navas.

2:2!

Bayer Leverkusen stubbornly equalised and put an end to Hamburg's record of winning all their home games in the Bundesliga this season.

Hamburg only got one point from the draw, so it stands to reason that Bayern should catch up this time!

No.

In the second half of the league, Hamburg, who has European tasks, is slightly tired, but Bayern seems to be even more tired!

And their substitutes seem to have a bigger gap with the main team in terms of ability!

In this round of the Bundesliga, Bayern, which also played with most of the rotation players, does not seem to be very stable in terms of lineup.

Hojbjerg, Pizarro and Shaqiri led the attacking line, while the back four were Salale, Xavi Martinez, Van Bitten and Wizel.

At the back, in particular, Salale and Vizer are both young players who have made few appearances, while midfielder Xavi Martinez has also made a cameo appearance at centre-back.

This is also Pep Guardiola's preparations for the second leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.

Sure enough, they ended up losing 0-1 away to Augsburg, who are currently eighth in the league!

Augsburg striker Molders scored the only goal of the game in the 31st minute.

This also allowed Bayern Munich to suffer the second defeat of the season!

To be honest, such a lineup with such a result cannot be regarded as a surprise.

When the news reached Hamburg, Pan Yi and the whole team breathed a sigh of relief.

If they catch up with two points and make the gap between the two teams become three, then the suspense of the final championship of the Bundesliga is still very large.

After all, Hamburg and Bayern still have to have a direct conversation.

But now that Hamburg is flat, the gap in points has widened to six points!

It's true that other Bundesliga teams are also helping Hamburg!

The world has been suffering for a long time?

And Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern and Augsburg, the results of these two games actually show that the Bundesliga is really not too easy to play.

Even the overlord Bayern will capsize from time to time;

Even if it is a hamburger in good condition, it cannot be said that it must be killed in all directions, and one will be destroyed by one!

The slightest slack and carelessness can lose the good picture.

Coupled with the distraction and fatigue caused by multi-front battles, there will only be more and more accidents in the league.

Although there are only five league games left and Hamburg are still six points ahead, they must not let up.

At this time, in the final stage of the league, it is to see who can grit their teeth and persevere, can avoid making more mistakes, and who can really have the last laugh and win the championship!

The title race between Hamburg and Bayern Munich is in the final stage, and the Champions League places are gradually becoming clear.

In the 29th round, the first place is, of course, Hamburg, which is unbeaten with 26 wins, 3 draws and 81 points, while the second place is Bayern Munich, which has 24 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses and 75 points.

Dortmund in third place has no problem with 58 points, while in fourth place Schalke 04, who have been getting better and better lately, they quietly climbed up with 55 points with 16 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses.

With Borussia Mönchengladbach in fifth place on 48 points, Bayer Leverkusen on 48 and Wolfsburg on 47, they are already a bit far behind the top four.

As the league draws to a close, it should be difficult for them to shake the top four spots.

Therefore, the biggest suspense in the Bundesliga this season is whether Hamburg can always suppress Bayern and win the fourth Bundesliga championship in team history?

It is worth mentioning that these three Bundesliga titles of Hamburg were won by the powerful old Hamburg team in the early eighties.

In other words, it has been 30 years since Hamburg won the Bundesliga last time......
