Chapter 145

Before the official opening of the Bundesliga, the German media have also announced the team's strength assessment and ranking predictions for the new season.

Although the Bundesliga title has been won by Dortmund in the past two seasons, the vast majority of the media still regard Bayern Munich as the favorite candidate for the Bundesliga title this season.

This is mainly because Bayern's performance as the "Sanya King" last season was not too bad, but this season Xia Chuang has made crazy reinforcements, and his strength has been further improved.

1300 million to buy Croatian striker Mandzukic from Wolfsburg, 1180 million to introduce Swiss international Shaqiri from Basel, 470 million to buy Brazilian defender Dante from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and a visa-free transfer from Werder Bremen Peru striker Pizarro...

Of course, the most important thing is to buy midfielder Harvey Martinez from Athletic Bilbao at a cost of 4000 million, which makes Bayern's lineup more complete in the new season.

As for Bayern's main competitor, Dortmund, although they also bought "Little Rocket" Reus from Borussia Mönchengladbach for 1710 million euros, they also left the Bundesliga MVP-level main force like Shinji Kagawa at the same time. It is an increase or a decrease.

One side is almost standing still, and the other side is massively increasing troops. The media will naturally be more optimistic about Bayern.

In addition to the top two, Leverkusen and Schalke 04, the two traditional Bundesliga teams, ranked third and fourth.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, who has left many generals this season, is considered to be a leaner camel than a horse, and can still rank fifth.

In sixth place is Stuttgart.

In terms of relegated teams, among the three teams Fürth, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf that just came out of the Bundesliga last season, Fürth and Düsseldorf are considered unable to adapt to the Bundesliga. Rhythm, fall back to Bundesliga.

Frankfurt is favored.

They bought eight players in the summer window, including outstanding rookies such as Gan Guishi and Trapp, so many media believe that Frankfurt can not only stay in the Bundesliga, but may even be higher in the ranking.

So, which team will replace Frankfurt and will drop to the Bundesliga with Fürth and Dusseldorf?

The answer is burgers.

Although Hamburg, which barely relegated last season, also made large-scale signings in Xia Chuang, it seems that it cannot make up for the vacuum left by the team's main players.

It can also be seen from the warm-up match and the first round of the German Cup that Hamburg has not become stronger.

In particular, the German Cup was defeated by the German team Karlsruhe, which further reduced Hamburg's status in the eyes of the media.

Then, a team that was originally ranked 15th in the league, but its strength has not increased but decreased, its position in the new season is obvious.

The media believes that Hamburg is at most ranked third from the bottom to play the relegation play-offs, but there is a high probability that they will be directly relegated. The final ranking is not as good as Fürth and Dusseldorf!

The first round of Hamburg facing Nuremberg is also considered to be the most severe test for Pan Yi.

If they lose at home, then Pan Yi's coaching position is likely to be shaken.

The media's predictions for this game are also one-sided, and everyone is optimistic about Nuremberg.

They are considered to be ranked 9th or 10th in the Bundesliga in the new season, obviously higher than Hamburg in terms of strength.

In addition, Nuremberg has another good thing: their team has just joined a new assistant coach named Rahman.

It was the former Hamburg coach who was fired by Pan Yi!

Due to his familiarity with the Hamburg team, this makes Nuremberg's preparations even more guaranteed.

In an interview before the game, Rahman was also a variety of black Pan Yi and Hamburg management.

"It is a great honor to be able to join Nurnberg."

"Weisinger was a famous figure in Nuremberg when he was a player, and now he is also very good as a coach. I can learn a lot from him. More importantly, he is wholeheartedly for the sake of Nuremberg, unlike the head coach of Hamburg, who simply It's just nonsense!"

"Yes, I don't regret leaving Hamburg. I offered to resign only when I found out that Pan Yi was an incompetent coach who only fooled people. My professional attitude made me unable to tolerate working under such a head coach."

"Hamburg executives? They just took a fancy to Pan Yi's identity as a native of the Dragon Kingdom. They wanted to use this to attract the attention of Dragon Kingdom fans and invest accordingly. The Asian players they introduced also had the same purpose."

Rahman said it as if he could not understand the current situation in Hamburg and resigned voluntarily.

Before, Chairman Yakhov saved him face by declaring that it was Rahman who resigned voluntarily instead of being fired, but he was bitten back and became a messy "Hamburg executive".

A reporter asked: "Pan Yi performed very well in AC Milan last season. Everyone said that Milan was able to win the Triple Crown because of his great contribution. What do you think?"

Rahman smiled disdainfully:

"It's all hype. I suspect that this Longguo man bought a lot of media to promote him, with the purpose of fooling some stupid chairman into hiring him as the head coach and earning more salary."

"Milan's success is of course the credit of coach Allegri, how can it be an assistant coach's turn? A joke."

"You said that Pan Yili advocated the introduction of those young players? That's because Milan's scouting system is strong, and Pan Yi just happened to pick a few good seedlings among them."

"He coached Hamburg independently this season, and he will show his fox tail. It is a pity that my old club Hamburg will be relegated after his destruction."

"Of course, I hope that the top executives of Hamburg can find their way back and drive Pan Yi, a rookie, out of the team as soon as possible and find another talent. Maybe there is still a way out."

"If Hamburg asks me to be the head coach? Hehe, of course it is my duty to save Hamburg from fire and water!..."

Pan Yi saw the interview news in the chairman's office, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chairman, now you know why I must let him go? It is a disaster for such a villain to stay in the team, and you are too Give him face."

Yakhov sighed: "Then are you sure about this game? If you can win, of course it is the best counterattack, but if you lose..."

Pan Yi waved his hand: "Of course we will win. Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

For giving up the German Cup and focusing on the league, Pan Yi naturally talked with the chairman about the basic strategic direction of this season.

The pros and cons of the reasons, Pan Yi and Yakhov also analyzed it very clearly, and Mr. Chairman also understands it very well.

He also understands that the previous performance of Hamburg in the German Cup is not the true strength of the team.

This defeat can even be regarded as a kind of smoke bomb, allowing the opponent to lose their judgment on Hamburg and profit from it.

Look at Rahman's disdain for burgers in an interview, isn't it the best proof?

However, after all, the stadium is like a battlefield, and the situation is always changing rapidly. If Pan Yi really loses, as Chairman Yakhov who has always supported Pan Yi, the pressure will be infinite.

"Don't worry!" Pan Yi patted Yakhov's shoulder a little bit, "I really don't pay attention to such a small role..."
