In addition to the team's unbeaten + all-time highest score to win the championship, another proof of Hamburg's excellent performance this season is:

They have also been able to make a list in the season's stats and rankings!

There is no doubt about the best head coach this season, and Pan Yi was elected without any suspense.

The top scorer was Hamburg's centre-forward Jamie Vardy.

Although Pan Yi has often used the rotation lineup this season, Vardy, who has only made 27 appearances, still scored 23 goals and won the Bundesliga Golden Boot!

In second place is Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 20 goals.

Third place went to Bayern Munich's Mandzukic with 18 goals.

In fact, the data gap between the latter players is not very big.

Fourth is Nuremberg's Dermic with 17 goals.

Fifth, Hoffenheim's Roberto Firmino, Hertha Berlin's Adrian Ramos, and Borussia Dortmund's Reus are tied with 16 goals.

In addition to Vardy, the Hamburg team has more goals, which are Salah, Son Xingmin, as well as Mitrovic and Wu Lei.

It is worth mentioning Wu Lei.

He still scored 10 goals in his second Bundesliga season, which also allowed him to break the record of scoring goals for players in the five major leagues held by his predecessor Yang Chen with 20 goals!

Yang Chen scored 16 goals in three seasons in the Bundesliga.

And Wu Lei only took two seasons to surpass this number, and most of the time this season he played as a rotation player, but he still seized the opportunity and made history as a player in the Dragon Country!

At the same time, Wu Lei also followed Hamburg in the Champions League, every step forward, every goal scored, he also kept writing the history of Dragon Country football!

In this regard, the media and fans of Longguo certainly know that the biggest credit is here with Pan Yi.

If it weren't for Pan Yi's insight and careful training, Wu Lei would still be mixed with those Dragon Country players who are willing to be ordinary in China, how could he have today's height?

And Wu Lei's success in the Bundesliga is also stimulating some younger players to go overseas.

For example, the 19-year-old striker Weshao went to the Boavista team of the Portuguese Super League under the operation of a professional agency.

There are also some potential new stars who have also gone to Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries to train in the second league.

Longguo Media believes that under the leadership of Pan Yi and Wu Lei, Longguo Football is on the right path.

They are even looking ahead to the 2018 World Cup in Russia......

Well, the Dragons are indeed the first team in the world to prepare for the 2018 World Cup!

Then again.

In addition to Jamie Vardy's top scorer in the Bundesliga, the assist title was also won by the Hamburg player.

And it is two consecutive years, won by De Bruyne!

This time his stats are even more exaggerated, reaching 18 assists!

You know, Royce, who ranks second on the assist list, only has 11 assists.

In third, there was only 8 times Ribery.

It also shows how good Hamburg's attack has been this season.

It's a faulty lead!

And with this terrifying statistic, De Bruyne also won the title of the best player in the Bundesliga, voted by more than 1,000 representatives of the professional football league.

He received 35.7% of the vote!

His team-mate Vardy then received 28.6 per cent of the vote, followed by Royce with 20.3 per cent.

In the selection of the best team, all 11 people are from the champion, second and third place teams this season, of which Hamburg contributed 7 people!

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund each had two selected.

The formation of the best squad is a 442.

Forwards: Robert Lewandowski, Jamie Vardy.

Midfielders: Reuss, Kante, Casemiro, De Bruyne.

Defenders: Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Rudiger, Lahm.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.

For Pan Yi, this best lineup is somewhat "excel watching the ball".

In fact, in terms of forward role, Salah or Son Heung-min's performance is no worse than Lewandowski.

But because they are indeed less than Lewandowski in terms of absolute goals, this makes them fall behind in such a selection.

Of course, Lewandowski's performance this season is also quite good, it is said that Bayern has negotiated a contract with him, and Lewandowski will wear Bayern's jersey from next season!

Of course, Pan Yi doesn't care much about this.

Sometimes this kind of selection also depends on a bit of human accidents, such as the double captain of Germany and Bayern, Lahm, squeezing out Carvajal, which is somewhat of a cheer for the German team that is about to go to the World Cup.

Hamburg can't take all the best 11, it's too much.

7 is 7, and it is a blessing to suffer.

……

After playing the final round of the Bundesliga, Pan Yi gave the players two days off after letting the team carry out recovery training.

The final of the German Cup is on May 18, and there is more than a week to go before the final round of the Bundesliga, so Pan Yi and Hamburg have plenty of time to adjust.

But their opponents in the German Cup, Jurgen Klopp, did not dare to slack off.

He needs to figure out how to beat Hamburg right away!

This season's Borussia Dortmund can only finish third in the Bundesliga again, and in the Champions League, they also lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, and the overall results are even worse than last season.

Therefore, the German Cup final is Klopp's last chance.

He doesn't want another season with nothing!

But it's clear that defeating Pan Yi's burger won't be easy.

Not to mention that Hamburg has always been able to beat Dortmund in the rankings in the past two seasons, that is, in the four head-to-head meetings between their two teams, Hamburg has an absolute advantage.

Three wins and one draw are the results of Hamburg's match against Borussia Dortmund, and it also includes big wins like 4:1 and 3:0.

Jurgen Klopp knows that after two seasons in charge of Hamburg, Pan Yi has developed a well-established tactical system for the team.

Moreover, the technical ability of this group of players has also been greatly improved, including physical strength and physical fitness have reached a very high level.

Coupled with the fact that the entire coaching team in Hamburg is working together to provide the best help to the team.

All these factors have come together to make Hamburg so strong.

"It can be said that with the performance of these two seasons, Pan Yi has truly become a world-class coach."

This is Klopp's assessment of Pan Yi.

When Pan Yi first entered the Bundesliga, Klopp didn't look down on this young man from the Dragon Kingdom.

But now, he was convinced by Pan Yi.

So he would say that Pan Yi is a "world-class coach".

Well, what about himself?

Jurgen Klopp, is he a world-class coach now?

He didn't even dare to confirm it himself.

Two years ago, he led the youth team of Borussia Dortmund to pull Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga hegemony, and he became famous, and at this time it was said that he was a world-class football coach.

But what about these two years?

Bayern is recovering, but a Pan Yi suddenly appeared in the Bundesliga, which can be said to have stolen Klopp's limelight.

This "grab" is all-round!

First, Pan Yi's results are better than Klopp's.

Although Klopp has led Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title, it is not as dominant as Hamburg in terms of points and the course of the game.

After all, Hamburg was undefeated and won the championship with the highest points in history!

In the Champions League, Klopp has been impacting for several years and has only won the runner-up once.

On the other hand, Pan Yi led the team to participate in the Champions League for the first time independently, and he had already reached the final, not counting the championship he won when he was an assistant coach in Milan.

Second, Pan Yi has led the development of advanced football tactics in recent years.

The extensive use of inside forwards, the innovation of adductive full-backs, the use of pseudo-wingers, the improvement of the 433 formation......

There is even a strengthened version of the traditional column center, a dynamic version of the defensive counterattack, and so on.

Jurgen Klopp considers himself to have a bit of a knack for tactical research, such as the attacking system he built at Borussia Dortmund, which he is proud of.

But the problem is that compared with Pan Yi, it is not a grade at all!

Countless coaches around the world are learning Pan Yi's tactics, including Pep Guardiola and Simeone......

In fact, Klopp is the same, he has already started to use the 433 formation, and he has also implemented some of Pan Yi's tactical ideas.

For example, using Lewandowski as a bridgehead in the game also played a certain role in retreating, such as trying to make Gundogan play as a pseudo-winger.

Third, Pan Yi is younger than Klopp.

Klopp is 47 years old this year, 20 years older than Pan Yi!

Being young means that there is still endless room for improvement.

The current Pan Yi is so good, then it will be paid back in another 10 or 20 years! Wouldn't it be even more remarkable!

Fourth, it is also a very important point.

Pan Yi is also very handsome!

You don't think it's infuriating.

Klopp felt that God was really unfair.

God opened a door for Pan Yi and a window at the same time......

But now, Klopp is trying to find a way to get God and his old man to close the doors and windows of Pan Yi's house!

"In this game, I will try to change my style of play and continue to pick up our 4231 formation against Hamburg."

Speaking to the coaches during the tactical meeting, Klopp told the coaches.

As soon as his words fell, everyone in the conference room was a little surprised.

That's because, from the second half of the season, Klopp began to use a somewhat similar Hamburg-like 433 formation in the Dortmund team, and it also achieved good results.

Not long ago, Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich 3:0, using the 433 formation, and the tactical style of play is highly consistent with Pan Yi's defeat of Bayern.

So, such a good tactic, why don't you say you don't use it?

Klopp, of course, knew the coaches' doubts, so he shook his head with a wry smile and explained:

"Pan Yi is very proficient in the 433 formation, of course he will clearly know where the weaknesses of this formation are, if we use the same formation to fight against it, I am afraid that we will not be able to get any good fruit to eat."

"In the second half of the season, we beat Bayern by 433 and lost to Hamburg by the same score."

"In the first half of the season, when we were still using the 4231, we drew against Hamburg. This comparison may show that Pan Yi's understanding of formations other than 433 may still be slightly weaker, and we can seize such an opportunity......"

The assistant coaches all nodded slightly, but their faces were still worried.

Klopp's words are certainly a little reasonable, but in and out of these words, they faintly reveal their fear of Pan Yi.

It's not like Klopp!

Thinking about Uncle Scum, he won the championship at the beginning, and he was heroic. Round mirror powder fist, talking and laughing, Bayern was in ashes.

How could he have a hamburger in his eyes, and Pan Yi in his eyes?

But after two years of being suppressed by Hamburg, his state of mind seems to have changed.

Klopp has also changed from a "Bundesliga champion" to a "challenger of Pan Yi", and even a "student of Pan Yi", the two are not at the same level!

Students will always be a little afraid and uneasy when facing the teacher, because you learned something from him!

How did Klopp know that in fact, Pan Yi's set of 433 was first learned from him.

It's just that it was brought from the future Klopp of Liverpool to 2011 in advance, and then after Pan Yi combined the wisdom of the famous coaches, he was learned by Klopp in Dortmund in 2013, and it is still possible that Klopp will be brought to Liverpool in the future......

Another time loop belongs to yes.

But in short, after understanding the subtleties of Pan Yi's tactical play, Klopp did have a strong lack of confidence in his own ability.

This lack of self-confidence will make him involuntarily abandon what he learned from Pan Yi and return to Dortmund's original tactics.

And his original set of 4231 and Hamburg's draw also gave him a strong hint: this style of play will definitely work!

He even took the initiative to ignore that in that game, in order to ensure the results of the Champions League group stage, Pan Yi actually sent a semi-rotating lineup......

"Now Hamburg has a lot of attacking power, and the midfield is especially controlling, and our 4231 also needs to make some detailed adjustments."

Klopp continued, then walked over to the tactics board and began fiddling with the pieces on it:

'The back four and the back two will not change, but the midfielders and the two wingers will have to drop back a bit to assist the midfielders against their three midfielders. You can also see how good N'Golo Kante, Kevin De Bruyne and Casemiro are, and they even made the Bundesliga Team of the Year at the same time. ”

"Thankfully, Kevin De Bruyne won't be able to play in this final, but the substitute Paulinho is also good enough to be underestimated. His impact, defence and running ability are even better than De Bruyne's! ”

"So I'm going to make some adjustments in terms of personnel as well. Jojic and Shaheen will form a back two, with Grosskreutz, Reus and Mkhitaryan in front of them. ”

"We have to go all out with Hamburg in midfield! Only by holding the midfield can our defence be stable and have any hope of winning. ”

"Otherwise, our defense won't be able to stop Hamburg at all. The centre-back combination of Hummels and Papastathopoulos should struggle to withstand Hamburg's multi-layered onslaught......

Klopp is the head of the way, but he still puts Dortmund in the position of the underdog, consciously or unconsciously.

Under normal circumstances, Dortmund are an attack-oriented team, how can Klopp think about defense as soon as he comes up?

Mainly now in his mind, Pan Yi's hamburger is really too strong!

It's just a flawless team. If you don't prevent it, something will definitely happen!

The assistant coaches didn't sound like it sounding good, but they couldn't say anything special.

After all, what Klopp said is indeed the truth!

Hamburg's midfield is just that strong!

"What about our offense...... What to do? Lewandowski or Aubameyang as a centre-forward? Chief Assistant Coach Zelico Bouacs asked.

The Bosnian coach was also a professional footballer at a young age, playing as a midfielder.

After retiring from football, he has been an assistant coach with Klopp, and for more than ten years, from Mainz to Dortmund and later Liverpool, he has been Klopp's most trusted assistant.

It's just that he has a lot of experience like Boiss, and he has never seen Klopp so cautious when facing the enemy.

You know, Klopp has always been famous for his thunderbolts and daring to fight!

As a result, today's tactical arrangements have been talked about for a long time, and Bwach only listened to Klopp talk about defense there, and he didn't talk about attacking anything at all.

"This ...... I'll think again. ”

Klopp hesitated suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, Dortmund is of course the Polish center Lewandowski at the front.

Not only does he have great ball protection skills, but he also has excellent playmaking and dribbling skills, passing skills, passing vision and even headers.

Of course, as a striker, he also has excellent shooting skills and can score from any position on the pitch.

Scoring more than 20 goals in one season is proof of that! He was also named to the Team of the Season.

And after Klopp changed to 433, Lewandowski has more advantages in terms of front and back tandem against the team.

It's just that that's under normal circumstances.

What if Dortmund start to stabilize their defence and play counter-attacks?

What if the midfield doesn't give more support to the strikers?

At this time, Lewandowski does not seem to be so useful.

His speed and agility will be slightly worse, and his role in counterattacking is not so prominent.

If that's not easy to understand, just look at Lewandowski's predicament when he was in the Polish national team.

Poland were fine in the qualifying round, after all, the midfielder was able to control the ball.

But when it comes to the World Cup, it will basically be pressed and beaten by strong teams.

At this time, Lewandowski was often isolated in the frontcourt, and could only reluctantly retreat deep to get the ball, and sometimes even ran to the side to participate in the midfield scramble.

The match between Poland and Argentina at the 2022 World Cup is a microcosm of this situation.

And if Dortmund is suppressed by Hamburg, then Lewandowski will be of little use either.

At this time, Dortmund's other fast horse striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, will come in even more handy.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang himself has also spent time in Milan and is more familiar with Hamburg's tactics and some of his team-mates, so maybe it will work even better.

It's just that from the point of view of form, Lewandowski's is better, which is the main reason for Klopp's hesitation.

"Or let the two of them play together? Replacing Grosskreutz with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a winger position would also play to his speed advantage. ”

Bwach saw Klopp's hesitation and suggested.

Klopp shook his head: "Hamburg's wide attack is very sharp, and I use Grosskreutz to strengthen the defense on the side of the midfield." Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's attacking power is okay, but his defensive attitude is actually average. ”

He's right.

The two wing combinations of Robertson + Son Heung-min and Carvajal + Salah have made many teams suffer.

No matter which side it is, it is both offensive and defensive, and can pass the ball into the penalty area through passing and running positions, and even score directly with a shot.

And even if Sun Xingmin's injury may not be good now, Pan Yi may not send him on the field, but Wu Lei's speed and impact are still terrifying, and the ten goals in the season have proved this.

Therefore, Klopp's priority is the defensive ability of his wide players, and the attack is secondary.

Only by not allowing Hamburg to score will Dortmund have a chance to win!

Bwach fell silent.

Lack of bench depth has always been an old problem for Borussia Dortmund.

In other words, it is to see if Aubameyang can play, after all, they don't actually have a lot of people to change.

On the bench, whether it is Friedrich and Kirch on the defensive line, Durm in the midfield, or the versatile Hoffmann, and the striker Schiebert, there is a certain gap with the main players.

Why has Borussia Dortmund's record been up and down and not stable enough?

It's because the lineup is not thick enough.

When they have a full lineup, they can indeed wrestle with a strong team like Bayern, but once Reus, Mkhitaryan and the like are injured and absent, the team's strength will be immediately affected, and the results will decline.

But look at the burger again......

They have even injured absolute workhorses like Kevin De Bruyne and Son Heung-min, and the players who have come up don't seem to be much worse.

This is also the reason why Pan Yi can often rotate players in the league, and this strategy also ensures that Hamburg is fit, so that they can maintain their good competitive form throughout the long season and remain unbeaten until now.

What's even more surprising is that these people in Hamburg were poached by Pan Yi from all over the world on a limited budget, and they were not famous stars two or three years ago!

So Klopp also has to admire Pan Yi's vision and training ability, he really sighs to himself!

And next season, stars including Lewandowski are leaving the team again, and Klopp really feels like a clever woman has no rice to cook.

He didn't even know what the team was going to do next.

Reinforcements?

Who to bring in?

What kind of play style do you take?

What are the ideas that can improve the team's combat effectiveness?

All of this, he is a little lost now.

Even if he has any ideas, the management may not agree with them, after all, it is a tradition for Dortmund to sell stars.

Perhaps it was this dilemma that made him want to leave the team and go to the Premier League......

"That's all for today's meeting, I'll think about it later."

Finally, Klopp said helplessly, and then dragged his tired body to push the door out.

Everyone looked at each other.

Before the tactics and line-up could be fully decided, Klopp ended the meeting abruptly, for the first time in history.

Klopp, who has always been full of fighting spirit, actually showed such an obvious sense of powerlessness when facing Pan Yi!

Maybe this German Cup final has already ended before it has even started?
