Amid cheers all over the sky, this highly anticipated first round match of the Champions League group stage has officially begun!

Even now, in the stands of San Siro, you can still hear the shouts of "Pan Yi!" "Pan Yi!"

But soon, more people turned their attention to the fierce competition going on.

Now on the sidelines, Allegri stood in the coach's command area as soon as the game started, waving to the players on the court.

He wanted to take advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold at the beginning and use the advantage of the home court to attack and see if he could steal one!

Pan Yi also rarely sat on the bench, but also stood in the command area watching the game, but he was not as excited as Allegri.

He was also slightly worried about the start.

Because apart from Salah and Van Dijk, none of the Hamburg players on the field has experience in the Champions League.

In fact, even Salah and Van Dijk did not have many appearances in the Champions League last season.

In other words, this group of players may not be able to adapt to the atmosphere of the Champions League.

In addition, the opponent is AC Milan, which has the DNA of the Champions League, and is playing at San Siro at home, so it is normal for Hamburg to be a little reserved after the opening.

Therefore, Pan Yi hopes that the players can stabilize their position first, withstand Milan's three blows, and then slowly find their own rhythm.

As for the self-adjustment ability of Hamburg players, Pan Yi is very confident in them now.

But it is obvious that Allegri's Milan is not prepared to give Hamburg much breathing time.

Only 20 seconds into the game, Milan played a good frontcourt attack.

When Mane faced Carvajal on the left, he pretended to go down, but instead dunked the ball and cut it into the corner of the penalty area.

When teammate Van Dijk came to defend, Mane, who knew the opponent well, passed the ball directly. Balotelli, the "Balotelli" in the middle, kicked the ball without hesitation, but the ball was blocked by Rudiger with his leg.

.

After the ball flew to the outside, Milan's midfielder Montolivo also rushed over and fired a volley.

But Navas was very focused and pushed the ball over the crossbar. Milan got a corner kick.

Montolivo took a corner kick, and Van Dijk grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out, but he couldn't push it too far. Milan forward Niang, who was standing near the penalty spot, headed the ball slightly wide.

Upright column.

In just over a minute after the opening, AC Milan attacked the goal three times in a row, posing a considerable threat to Hamburg's goal.

Such a good opening performance also made the Milan fans at the scene continue to send drums and cheers to the home team.

At this time, no one called Pan Yi's name anymore.

Now they only care about whether their home team can win this crucial group match!

After all, in a Champions League group consisting of three teams, especially a group of death where each team is very strong, the result of the home game is particularly important.

If you want to qualify, especially if you want to qualify as first in the group, three home games are almost impossible to miss.

In most cases, if you can win all the home games and get 9 points, and then as long as you can get one or two wins or draws in the away games, and get about 12 points, you can guarantee qualifying, or even the third place.

One person qualified.

It is very important for every team to qualify first or second!

After all, the top 16 knockout rounds after qualifying will determine who their respective opponents will be.

If you can qualify as the first in the group, your opponent will be the second in other groups, and the strength will be relatively weaker, making it easier to pass.

But if you are second in the group, then wait until you are drawn to a giant like Real Madrid or Bayern!

Of course, just like the league, sometimes you may not qualify if you score high, and sometimes you may not qualify if you score low... It all depends on your fate.

Taking this season's Champions League group stage as an example, Pan Yi's memories of watching football in his previous life told him that two extremes will appear soon - as long as the timeline develops according to normal conditions.

In Group F, Naples, Dortmund, and Arsenal all ended up with 4 wins, 2 losses, and 12 points. Naples was eliminated because of the lowest goal difference in the direct comparison between the three.

At the same time, this is also the highest score that can theoretically not qualify! Naples also became the unlucky guy.

At the same time, in Group G, Zenit has only 1 win, 3 draws, 2 losses and only 6 points, which is only half of Napoli’s points.

However, they overcame Porto and Vienna, which performed even worse, and qualified as second in the group!

Out with 12 points and qualifying with 6 points, where can Naples go to reason?

Therefore, the 12-point qualifying mentioned just now is only theoretical. Each team will still strive to perform well in each group match and strive for more points, so as not to put themselves into an embarrassing situation like Naples.

Go.

It's only the first round now, and Milan is at home. Of course, they will be more eager for a victory to start this season's Champions League journey!

Therefore, coaches like Allegri are not conservative. From the beginning, they commanded Milan to launch a fierce attack on Hamburg.

After withstanding Milan's three consecutive attacks, Pan Yi also shouted to the players on the court: "Steady! Steady!"

He wanted the Hamburg players to remember what they had done in training and the strategy for the game arranged by the coaching staff, so he also kept reminding them on the sidelines.

As long as he does not panic under Milan's opening attack and explores Milan's details, Pan Yi believes that with Hamburg's current strength, as long as Allegri exposes problems at the tactical level, the team will surely catch it.<

/p>

However, Pan Yi’s reminder seemed to the cameras on the sidelines that Hamburg’s head coach was a little anxious.

The live TV camera specifically gave him a close-up, as if to highlight his anxiety at this moment.

After all, Pan Yi gives people the impression that he has always been very calm, which was the case when he played in Bayern's Super Cup.

But now he stands up and shouts at the players, then he must be nervous!

After all, he is a "rookie coach" who has never directed a Champions League game independently, so it is normal to be nervous!

Seeing this scene in Allegri's eyes, the Italian coach also grinned.

Sure enough, Pan Yi before the game was just being tough!

Has the secret been revealed now? Let’s see how you play against me at the San Siro Stadium?

When facing a strong team, it is Pan Yi's specialty to shrink back and defend against counterattacks. This is what he suggested and implemented when he played against Barcelona in Milan.

And if today Milan can use an offensive attitude to defeat opponents who have shrunk their defense when facing Hamburg, then there is no doubt that Allegri's status in the hearts of Milan fans will be greatly improved.

Is this the Pan Yi you have been longing for? The Pan Yi who can play beautiful offense?

In front of my wise and powerful Alaigri, why don't you just defend yourself obediently and surrender with the white flag!

"As long as my three midfielders can completely suppress their three midfielders, Pan Yi will have no chance in this game and will only be passively beaten in their backcourt."

When Alaigri thought of this, there was even a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"From now on, when people mention AC Milan, they will only think of Allegri's team, not Pan Yi."

"Even if I mention Pan Yi, I will only think of his complete defeat at the San Siro Stadium today, his complete defeat after his ugly defense was completely torn apart by my mercury-like offense!"

This is indeed the most ideal result.

Defeating Pan Yi in the way that Milan fans like to see the most, and in the way that they think Pan Yi is best at, is the fastest way to make Milan fans forget about Pan Yi.

Today, the 80,000 San Siro fans will witness with their own eyes how Allegri shattered their beautiful illusions about Pan Yi.

After today, they will know that AC Milan already has the best head coach in the world who can also play the best offense.

Milan doesn’t need Pan Yi!

……

AC Milan's three midfielders are indeed very tough.

The first is "Martial Arts Meng" Muntari.

Although he is not a technically sophisticated player, his technique and ball feel are a bit rough, and he has no breakthrough ability and cannot create threats through his personal ability;

But he is very active in defense, has certain abilities in confrontation and fighting, and can provide help for midfield defense.

On the offensive end, he also has a good long pass and the ability to attack from long distances. In addition, his long-range shots are also very threatening.

All in all, it’s a steal!

Then there is the "artist" Montolivo.

He is almost the opposite of Muntari, with beautiful feet, skillful ball control, light movements, excellent long-range shooting, broad passing vision, and full of creativity.

Montolivo, who became famous at a young age, is known as the "new generation of Roberto Baggio" and was considered a genius midfielder at a young age.

Later, his position gradually changed and he became a defensive midfielder, but his technical characteristics also made him highly anticipated by Milan fans, hoping to become the next Pirlo.

However, similar to Pirlo, his physical fitness and defensive ability are shortcomings, so he needs the help of his midfield teammates.

But Montolivo will not be shy when he needs to actively defend, but he often has to pay the price of red and yellow cards. At this time, Milan fans will laugh and say that "Literary Mongolian" has completed the transition to "Martial Mongolian"

"The transformation of form.

The last one is even more heavyweight.

Nigel de Jong!
