Chapter 285: Hamburg, It's a Champion!
"It's only five minutes, and it won't be more than eight minutes if you count the stoppage time, so he's going to attack at this time?"
Pan Yi's voice was very loud, the players on the field could hear it, and the Real Madrid people on the sidelines could naturally hear it.
Zinedine Zidane, who sat next to Carlo Ancelotti and a Real Madrid legend, was a little puzzled.
He touched his "hair" and said:
"Isn't he afraid that he will run out of energy and spirit during this time, and will have no power to resist in overtime?"
Ancelotti said cautiously: "He may have some conspiracy, but I can't see it yet." โ
In the past two seasons of competition, Pan Yi has often had successful cases of miraculous on-the-spot command, which made Ancelotti not careless at all.
It's just that he really can't see what Pan Yi has planned.
In this case, of course, he can't make a rash decision, otherwise it is likely to backfire.
"So what do we do now?" Zidane asked.
"Wait, hold on." Ancelotti gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we hold on for a few more minutes, this game will be ours!" โ
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Pan Yi is not confident in the confrontation with Real Madrid after Hamburg enters extra time, so he will make a desperate bet in the last few minutes and let the team attack with all his might.
Then, from another point of view, if Real Madrid can hold on to the draw score and enter extra time, it will be a fatal blow to Hamburg and Pan Yi's confidence.
At that time, whether it is the physical strength, morale, and experience of the Hamburg players, they are not Real Madrid's opponents at all, and Real Madrid's probability of winning will definitely be higher than that of their opponents!
Not to mention that Ancelotti now has more cards in his hand than Pan Yi, and he can better control the rhythm of the game.
Even if Hamburg can withstand 30 minutes of extra time, when it comes to the penalty shoot-out, the young Hamburg players will certainly not be able to withstand the huge pressure.
Like Real Madrid, Ronaldo, Ramos, Modric ...... and so on are all experienced international superstars, with excellent psychological quality, and penalty kicks are not a problem at all, let alone special penalty training before the game.
Thinking of this, Ancelotti glanced at Pan Yi, who was still standing there in the command area next to him, and his eyes narrowed.
Who wins and who loses in this master duel depends on the last few minutes!
โโ
On the field, Hamburg has pressed hard.
Real Madrid's front began to shrink actively, reducing the opponent's space while also saving their own energy.
But whether it is offensive or defensive, both sides know that this is the time for a decisive battle!
These last few minutes are likely to decide the fate of both teams, and who will really have the last laugh!
So everyone fights!
The two teams are like two lions locked in a big iron cage fighting, although they have long been exhausted from fighting, they are still stubbornly biting each other, even if the fight is blurred and bruised.
Hamburg's main attack direction is still on the left side of Son Heung-min, and it is also the right side of Real Madrid's right-back Nacho.
This is also the tactical focus of Pan Yi's last-minute adjustment.
After more than 80 minutes of fighting, this side of the battle, which has always been the center of gravity between the two sides, Nacho has a lot of pressure both offensively and defensively.
Especially in defense, he has endured the impact of Vardy, Kante, Wu Lei, Robertson, including Son Xingmin, who came on the field later, and his physical strength has really been exhausted.
But he gritted his teeth in support.
He also understands that as long as he holds on, and as long as he holds on for a few more minutes, the manager should make adjustments in overtime, and then the pressure on him will not be so great.
Perhaps, when the time comes, he can even take the initiative to apply to leave the field and let Arbeloa come up and play.
After all, if you still hold on when your physical condition can't support such a high-intensity game, it is not conducive to the team's victory.
So it's just persistence and persistence!
And Real Madrid's teammates obviously saw the pressure on his side, so they came over more to support.
Gradually, their defensive focus shifted to Nacho's side, patiently coping with every attack from Hamburg.
It is in such offensive and defensive rounds that time passes minute by minute.
Five minutes...... Three-minute ...... One minute......
By the end of the 90th minute, the score had not been rewritten.
At this time, the fourth referee on the sidelines also raised the stoppage time card, showing that there was only 1 minute of stoppage time!
This also shows that the game is actually very smooth.
There were no injuries, no conflicts, not even lying on the grass.
But for Hamburg, that's too little time!
It's only 1 minute!
They attacked with all their might for so long, but they still couldn't break through Real Madrid's defense!
At this time, the fans on both sides in the stands also looked at the stadium nervously, and even forgot to sing and shout.
Their breathing almost stopped!
And Pan Yi was already sitting in the coach's seat, but his fists were clenched, and he also felt the pressure.
He saw that after 85 minutes, most of Real Madrid's players were already in fitness problems, especially right wing-back Nacho.
That's why he ordered all the Hamburg players to launch an onslaught and try to settle the battle in those last few minutes.
But what he didn't expect was that the physical fitness and willpower of the Real Madrid players were still beyond his imagination.
Their defense is also very tenacious!
Although Hamburg was on the offensive, they were never able to knock on Real Madrid's door.
And if it goes on like this, the game is dragged into overtime, and Hamburg can really lose!
That's the price of the final stage of the onslaught!
Really want to lose?
No, absolutely not!
Pan Yi suddenly stood up from the coach's seat, walked quickly to the sidelines, and shouted to the court:
"Find the high point, all the high point! Van Dijk, Rudiger, you give it to me too! โ
In a matter of seconds, the players in Hamburg understood Pan Yi's intentions, and the formation on the field began to change.
The two tall centre-backs, Vandy and Toni Rudiger, were seen running forward, while Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah, on either side of the attack, retreated a bit to the wing-back position.
Moreover, the two of them also switched positions, with Salah playing as a winger on the left and Son Heung-min running to the right.
At the same time, the two full-backs, Robertson and Carvajal, tucked in a bit and stood between the centre-backs and wing-backs to form a de facto backline.
At this point, Hamburg turned into a more deformed 2-5-3 formation.
This is also a tactic they practiced before the game, but it is a "three center" tactic that will only be used when they are forced to do so!
Aleksandar Mitrovic, Virgil van Dijk and Toni Rudiger are the three towers in the Real Madrid penalty area to fight for the high spot, while the five men in midfield are responsible for feeding the three centre-forwards.
Defensively, only Robertson and Carvajal are the two wing-backs.
Of course, such a life-fighting tactic is not Pan Yi's first creation.
Whether it's Manchester United or the Belgian national team, when the score is behind and there is nothing to do, they will always put the team's high-tower Fellaini up front to compete for the header, and it often works wonders.
A typical example is that when Belgium fell behind Japan 0:2 in the knockout round of the 2018 World Cup, they sacrificed this magic weapon and finally turned defeat into victory.
It's just that Pan Yi's tactics will be more extreme, and the two central defenders will be used to play center!
So, after Hamburg changed formation, their style of play also changed.
Although it will still focus on Nacho's side, after gaining passing space, Pan Yi's team will directly choose to cross the high ball, instead of seeking local small cooperation or cutting inside to shoot.
And such a change, Real Madrid did not adapt to it for a while.
The main reason is that Ramos and Varane, the two central defenders, have been exhausted by Vardy and Mitrovic successively, and now two more macho men have rushed up from behind, and they don't know who to defend for a while.
Nacho? He can't even cope with a Son Xingmin on his side, and it's almost the same with Salah now.
Marcelo? He can even be considered a winger, with a first-class pass on the ball, but it would be too difficult for him to defend the tall Virgil van Dijk or Rudiger.
Including Luka Modric, Di Maria, Isco in midfield...... It doesn't seem to be a good fit!
Maybe the original "face brother" Khedira can barely withstand it, but he has been replaced.
"Quick, you two, come back and guard against their high point!" Ramos hurriedly commanded his teammates.
In a professional team, the most feared thing is the lack of clarity in duties.
Where you should stand, who you should defend, whether you should attack or defend, everyone has to know in their hearts so that the whole team can function properly.
Once there is no one who is not clear, there is a risk of a breach and being caught by an opponent.
And now Real Madrid, there is such a situation where the responsibilities are unclear.
The two "center forwards" that Hamburg just came up, who should be allowed to defend them?
Sergio Ramos is an experienced world-class centre-back who immediately realised it and brought Luka Modric and Angel Di Maria back to top it first.
While neither of them may be opponents of Van Dijk or Rudiger in terms of defence, they are able to hold their positions and not allow their opponents to control the high points too easily.
That's why you need someone in the squad to command.
Although there will always be some time in the game and some players will have trouble concentrating, including this kind of unclear responsibility, as long as there is a teammate to help remind you, you can quickly make up for it.
It's also one of the hallmarks of a mature team.
But......
It was in this short gap of tens of seconds that Hamburg created an opportunity!
Hamburg first played in a cross from the right, but Son Heung-min's kick was not high enough and was easily headed out by Raphael Varane at the front post.
The ball fell to N'Golo Kante, who had reached the edge of the box, but he didn't have a chance to shoot from distance, so he quickly moved to the left.
Salah ran to the gap to catch the ball, then turned and adjusted the ball at his feet.
At this time, Mitrovic in the Real Madrid penalty area suddenly retreated a little, as if he wanted to receive Salah's pass near the penalty spot.
Ramos, who had been keeping an eye on Mitrovic, was taken aback and immediately rushed to the Serbian center.
"Give me the ball!"
At this time, behind Ramos, Van Dijk's voice sounded.
Salah also played a long left-footed pass directly into the box again.
When Ramos tried to turn back to defend against Dick, he was held tightly by Mitrovic, holding him behind him.
Is this a pick-and-roll?
Varane at a distance was also entangled by Rudiger, and there was no way to get to Van Dijk's side in the first place.
So, just a little in front of the small penalty area, in this most dangerous area, Real Madrid actually let Van Dijk a tall "center forward" Tsubaki there, unguarded!
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Casillas also saw where the ball was coming and went straight to attack!
The closer the ball lands to the goal, the greater the threat to the goal, but at the same time, the greater the probability of being picked up by the opposing goalkeeper.
Because that's the goalkeeper's control!
So Casillas leaped high and stretched his ape arm......
"This ball...... Looks like it's going to be picked up by Cassie. Hamburg's attack should pose little of a threat. โ
"It looks like the game is really going to go to extra time, which is not good for Hamburg."
"Oh, ah! What just happened? ......" Zhan Jun suddenly shouted.
Hamburg fans and Real Madrid fans in the Stadium of Light let out a single exclamation, and almost everyone got up from their seats.
The images on the pitch seem to be slowed down frame by frame.
I saw that after the ball was kicked out by Salah, it spun strongly and came to the small penalty area in an arc.
Van Dijk leaps high and prepares to shake his head at goal.
Behind him, Casillas' hand was already on Van Dijk's head, ready to pick the ball.
But......
Cassie's hand didn't touch the ball!
Even under such interference, Van Dijk's head-shaking action was affected, and the ball just fell lightly on Van Dijk's head, and then bounced to change direction.
Then, the ball went past Casillas and fell to the ground.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the audience, the ball rolled slowly.
One lap ......
Two laps......
Three laps......
It rolled a few laps on the grass before slowly rolling across the goal line.
It got into the goal!
At this moment, the entire Stadium of Light fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone watched in disbelief at what was happening in front of them.
In the last moments of the game, in the last moments of stoppage time, Hamburg actually scored the goal of Real Madrid!
And, again, in such a way!
At this moment, even the referee was so stunned that he forgot to blow the whistle.
It wasn't until he reacted that he suddenly blew the silver whistle in his mouth.
Beep!!!
The goal works!
Hamburg fans have reacted too!
The Stadium of Light went from silence to a frenzy in an instant, as if swallowed up by a raging tsunami, as the Hamburg fans frantically vented their surprise in the final moments of the game!
"It's a super, super, super, huge mistake!"
'Casillas couldn't get the ball on his shot and it hit Van Dijk's head and rolled into the net.
"But at the same time it's a great miracle! It was the last minute of the game...... No, it should be the last second! Van Dijk's header kills the game! โ
"Hamburg let two chase three, and through Coach Pan Yi's tactical adjustments and substitutions, they reversed the powerful Real Madrid!"
"Audience friends, all the audience friends who are still stationed in front of the TV at this moment, congratulations, you have witnessed the birth of a great miracle."
"The Stadium of Light will go down in history because of this game, and all of us will be witnesses to this storied history. Let's congratulate Hamburg and congratulate Pan Yi! โ
"3:2, the game is over! Hamburg has completed an incredible comeback! โ
"Long live Pan Yi! Long live Hamburg! โฆโฆโ
In Zhan Jun's hoarse roar, the sideline coaching staff and substitute players have already begun to celebrate wildly, they are all hugging each other, singing and dancing.
It was a golden goal, a stunner in the absolute sense of the word!
It also means the end of the game! And it ended with the victory of Hamburg!
On the field, Van Dijk, the scorer, was stunned at that moment, standing in front of Real Madrid's goal, unable to believe his eyes, and couldn't believe that it was the killer goal he scored.
Everything that had just happened was a blank for him, and he couldn't remember what was going on at all.
But before he could think about it, his teammates who had rushed up had already thrown him to the grass, and he even felt someone kissing him the face, kissing his forehead, and even someone seemed to want to kiss him on the mouth......
And Pan Yi on the sidelines was also a little trance.
This goal......
How is it a bit like the same mistake as Casillas in the 2013-2014 Champions League final in his previous life?
At that time, Cassie was also about to attack and get a high ball, but the ball jumped into his own net, giving Atletico the lead.
In the end, it was Ramos's header who equalized in the last second to save Real Madrid, and the scene of Cassie kissing Ramos is also one of the historical classics.
In fact, since the beginning of this season, "San Cassie" has lost his absolute main position in Real Madrid, and he has played more in the Spanish Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
In the league, Ancelotti has used Diego Lรณpez as the main goalkeeper, with Cassie making just two appearances in the league all season.
That's because the 33-year-old Casillas has seen a dip in form, especially since the super-notch reflexes he relied on to make his name for aren't starting to be as fast as they used to be.
As a relatively short goalkeeper, once Cassie loses the advantage of reaction speed, the disadvantage of poor air dominance will be infinitely magnified.
And this ball, whether in the past life or now, is a concentrated embodiment of this disadvantage.
But anyway, the goal was scored!
Hamburg is going to win!
Pan Yi suddenly jumped up excitedly and joined the crowd of carnivals on the sidelines.
Wu Lei hugged Pan Yi and shouted excitedly: "We are champions!" We are the champions! โ
Pan Yi also responded with a smile: "That's right! We are Champions League winners!! โ
Wu Lei even wanted to rush to the field, but he was excited to run a few steps and fall down, then stood up and ran again, and fell again.
His physical strength had long been exhausted, but the dopamine secreted at this time made him run wildly again.
But who cares about that now?
Their hard work has been rewarded in the best.
They won the Champions League! โโ
In the stands, in the VIP area.
Real Madrid President Florentino looked sluggish, looked at the pitch with a solemn face, and said nothing.
Just over 40 minutes ago, he accepted everyone's congratulations and was ready to take home the 10th Champions League trophy in Real Madrid's history.
But in the second half of the game, the situation changed abruptly, and the trophy in hand flew like this??
And now, it is the turn of Hamburg President Jakhoff to accept the congratulations of the crowd.
Yahoff, on the other hand, smiled from ear to ear and made no secret of his team's joy after winning the championship.
Yes, the game is truly over.
After the Real Madrid players frustrated the ball back into the centre circle to kick off, the referee blew the final whistle straight ahead.
3:2, Hamburg wins! โโ
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and two executives in the VIP box were also shocked.
They were already deeply moved to see Hamburg equalis, but they only thought that it was the possibility that the two sides might go to extra time and decide the winner.
No one would have imagined that Hamburg would be able to reverse it at the last minute!
This team is so tenacious, it's unbelievable!
"Only Pan Yi can coach such a team...... "CEO Ron Gurray said.
He suddenly felt a light on his face.
Because he has been advocating for Pan Yi to join Chelsea, when Pan Yi was denied by the boss just now, he did feel uncomfortable, after all, this represents a mistake in his work.
But now it's different.
Pan Yi's performance is simply fantastic!
This also shows that as a CEO, he has a great eye for coaching!
"I want him to be the head coach of my team for the new season!" Abramovich suddenly shouted, "I will do whatever it takes, no matter how much money I spend, I will invite him to coach Chelsea!" Now I have found out that only he can bring out a team that I want! This is a strong-willed, combat-ready and passionate team! โ
Chairman Bruce Barker and CEO Ron Gurray glanced at each other and then turned to their boss.
Bruce Buck nodded, "I'll talk to him." But it is said that there are many teams interested in Pan Yi now, in addition to strong teams such as Bayern and Barcelona, there are Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and ...... in our Premier League."
Abramovich waved his hand at this time, interrupting Bruce Barker's words: "I'll talk about it myself." โ
"Huh?" Bruce Barker and Ron Gurray looked at each other again.
"Can't miss out on such talent anymore!" Abramovich said categorically, "As you said, a lot of teams are going to recruit him, so it's time to show our sincerity. Whether it's money, power, or whatever, I'll promise him. I'll go in person, so that I can show sincerity, and I don't need you to ask for any more instructions, which is a waste of time and a missed opportunity! โ
"Yes, boss." The two executives were a little helpless, but they could only agree.
They knew the temper of the boss, and no one could stop Abu from what he was sure to do.
Although this seems to be useless as an executive......
But what Abu said is not wrong, the boss personally stepped in, which can definitely make Pan Yi feel the full sincerity of Chelsea Club!
โโ
After the Hamburg coach and players circled the stadium to thank the Hamburg fans in the stands for their support, the award ceremony was about to begin.
Real Madrid took the stage to receive the runners-up medal, followed by champions Hamburg and finally captain Westermann to receive the trophy from UEFA president Michel Platini.
Then, to the "Oooh Oooo
In the end, Westman vigorously lifted the trophy with a pair of big ears above his head, and the audience burst into deafening cheers!
During this period, Zhan Jun's excited voice has also been echoing in the ears of Dragon Country fans:
"After 90 minutes of battle, a last-second winner of stoppage time, the winner of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League has been born!"
"It's a crazy race! It's also a crazy burger! They knocked out Real Madrid! โ
"All of us witnessed the birth of a miracle! Pan Yi, the coach of the Dragon Kingdom, led the civilian team Hamburg to defeat Real Madrid and overturned the Galaxy Battleship led by the BBC! โ
"Are all the Hamburg fans ready!"
"Are the fans of the Dragon Kingdom ready?"
"Let's shout this ......"
"Burger! It's a champion! โ
