"..."

Looking at the Hamburg players celebrating in front of the Hamburg fans' stands on the court, Valabek felt a little speechless.

The game lasted less than a minute, and my team was already lagging behind.

No, not a minute, not even thirty or twenty seconds!

As soon as the ball from St. Pauli was passed into the backcourt, the moment defender Gunter took the ball, Hamburg's three forwards Wu Lei, Mitrovic and Sun Xingmin rushed towards him.

This momentum frightened Gunter and he quickly passed the ball to the goalkeeper. However, his effort was too weak and the ball was intercepted by Wu Lei while it was still rolling. He then took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball, giving Hamburg the lead in the away game.

At that moment, what Varabek was thinking was: "Did this goal break the record for the fastest opening goal in the history of the German Cup?"

He knows that the Bundesliga's fastest goal record was set by Leverkusen's 36-year-old veteran Ulf Kirsten in the 2001-2002 season between Kaiserslautern and Leverkusen.
p>

Only 11 seconds into the game, Kirsten succeeded in shooting.

The record for the fastest goal in the German Cup may not be that fast, but Hamburg’s goal took about ten seconds, right?

"Oh, why am I thinking about this?"

Valabek soon began to feel troubled by the situation he faced.

This burger is indeed ranked first in the Bundesliga!

After the opening scene, the pace was simply too fast!

Let alone the Bundesliga 2, I’m afraid there aren’t many teams that play better than them in the Bundesliga, or even in the whole of Europe, right?

His St. Pauli simply couldn't adapt to the pressing attack at this speed, so he made mistakes when he was nervous.

As the game continued, Wallabek discovered that Hamburg's fast pace did not even affect their passing and cutting cooperation at all.

Under normal circumstances, the faster you play, the easier it is for your own coordination to make mistakes. This is common sense.

However, Hamburg's players have good personal skills. In addition, they can run and have many routes for passing the ball. They can pass, receive and penetrate quickly, and the success rate is also high.

Therefore, Hamburg played very smoothly while maintaining high-speed advancement and high-intensity pressing.

It is difficult for St. Pauli to mount an effective counterattack.

Because as soon as they grab the ball, the nearest Hamburg player, no matter who it is, including Mitrovic who is at the front, will immediately launch a counterattack.

Varabek has a feeling that because the technical level of the St. Pauli players is not as good as that of their opponents, and under such intense pressure from their opponents, let alone the possession of the ball, they cannot even control their own rhythm of the game.

They can only passively respond to the opponent's attacks one after another, just like the involuntary boat in the vast ocean.

The game on the field has been going on for almost ten minutes, and St. Pauli has not even had a decent attack.

This even made Wallabek feel a little regretful.

"Did you scold Hamburg too harshly when building momentum before the game?"

"In the first round they played Karlsruhe, they played all substitutes, but today they played almost all the main players. This is obviously to kill me!"

"It's over now. In fact, even if we lose to Hamburg today, it doesn't matter, but if we lose too much, then..."

Indeed.

Today’s Hamburg lineup is like this:

Forwards: Wu Lei, Mitrovic, Sun Xingmin.

Midfielder: De Bruyne, Casemiro, Kante.

Defenders: Robertson, Westerman, Van Dijk, Carvajal.

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Indeed, they are basically all main players.

But in fact, apart from Pan Yi really wanting to beat up the opponent in the Hamburg derby to vent his anger on the Hamburg fans, there is another reason - coincidence.

After today's German Cup is over, the Bundesliga will play Frankfurt four days later, and the Champions League will play Barcelona four days after that.

Pan Yi's goal is to play with the best lineup and in the best condition when playing Barcelona in the Champions League. Then, when playing Frankfurt, more rotations will be required.

Going back further, in today's game against St. Pauli, Pan Yi will have to use more main players to maintain the game.

Therefore, Pan Yi lets these players play hard in the game, which can not only have a good time in the derby game that fans value most, but also boost morale for the Champions League group stage more than a week later. Why not?<

/p>

So Wallabek can only admit that he is unlucky.

But having said that, who said Hamburg can’t beat people with its substitute lineup?

Just ask Karlsruhe, who suffered a 0:5 defeat in the first round of the German Cup...

No, we must not be embarrassed like Karlsruhe!

Today is the Hamburg Derby, which may be the most important game of the year for St. Pauli fans. If we lose that much, I may really be fired!

So Wallabek secretly made a decision.

That's just winning or whatever, no matter what.

I don’t care if I blow my pussy or get slapped in the face.

Now he just wants to lose as few games as possible.

As long as he doesn't lose too much, he can say anything, and he has an explanation for the St. Pauli fans!

Jobs are the most important thing!

……

Seeing the home team standing in the coaching area with Varabek anxiously at a loss, Pan Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.

Don’t you love to talk? Why don’t you talk now?

Using actual actions to slap someone in the face is definitely more enjoyable and more fulfilling than using words to fight back.

However, this is just the beginning.

Hamburg only scored one goal!

However, it seems now that Hamburg's second ball cannot arrive as quickly as the first ball.

After these ten minutes, although St. Pauli still could not organize a decent attack, they gradually adapted to Hamburg's siege rhythm, and the defense was still very well organized.

St. Pauli has been in the lower leagues in the past few years, and even in the Bundesliga it was a weak team, so playing good defense is engraved in their DNA.

At this time, Varabek seems to have changed the formation to 4141, which allows more people to be put into defense.

If they want to continue to break through St. Pauli's defense, Hamburg's offensive players must work harder.

Of course, Pan Yi is not in a hurry.

What he should say has already been told to the players before the game, and he believes that everyone knows it well.

At this time, players need to combine the current actual situation on the field, and then choose the best plan to implement based on tactical arrangements, their own characteristics, and cooperation with teammates.

This process requires the use of brains, and the process of processing is also a process of self-improvement for the players.

In this way, you can improve in every game! Even if you play against a weak team!

……

There is a bit of a stalemate on the court now.

Hamburg controlled the scene and rhythm and formed an overwhelming advantage over St. Pauli. However, because St. Pauli organized a very tight defense line and even gave up the personnel and speed to counterattack for this line of defense, Hamburg was threatened.

There are not many offenses, and they have not been able to score goals.

It can be said that St. Pauli's tactics are like a turtle, or a bus.

They put their bodies in front of the door, then put their heads in, and let you beat them until you were tired or unable to hit you anymore.

In this way, the Hamburg players' forward space is squeezed to very little.

Even if the midfielder can pass the ball into the penalty area, he will encounter a situation where his legs are everywhere and then be destroyed by the St. Pauli players.

When Hamburg kicked the ball high, St. Pauli's two central defenders Solant and Gunter were both tall and powerful, and they were able to prevent Mitrovic from heading the ball a few times.

This made Hamburg's offensive players feel a little annoyed for a while.

Especially center Mitrovic.

He was also thinking about how he should change his fighting style in this situation?

Even if you can't get the ball to shoot, you still have to work hard to help your teammates create space for attack.

This is something Pan Yi always told him to think about before the game, and it is also the basis for him to gain the trust of Pan Yi and his teammates.

He also recalled a video of a player's game that Pan Yi showed him before the game.

That's the young Brazilian forward Firmino who currently plays for Hoffenheim.

"He is a player whose height and weight are not as good as yours, but he can still be the fulcrum of the team."

"At the same time, he is a player who has the attributes of both the 9th and 10th positions. I hope you can be like him."
