After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 161 The Battle of Tianwang Valley
"You two little bastards, what are you fighting for in a warm-up match!"

In the physiotherapy room, Pan Yi slapped Wu Lei and Casemiro's heads heavily.

Neither Wu Lei nor Casemiro dared to say anything, they could only bury their heads and let the coach train them.

The depth of love, the depth of hatred!

Although Pan Yi also understands the mentality of these two guys, they are newcomers to the national team and want to express themselves well.

But ever since they returned from the national team, Pan Yi never got angry when he saw them.

"Injured, and it's a double-shot! Your own people fuck your own people! It's [-]-[-]! Hey! Don't you understand the ways of the world? You still play like a World Cup final."

Pan Yi shook his head and sighed: "What do you call me in the coaching field? I must have died laughing behind my back!"

Of course Pan Yi was very annoying.

Especially Wu Lei, I was afraid that there would be some problems with this injury.

After all, he is playing quite smoothly in the Bundesliga now, so he should seize this opportunity and continue to play well in order to achieve better growth.

But now just to play two insignificant friendly matches (or friendliest matches), he got injured and had to miss the match.

Alas, I can only hope that Wu Lei will not be affected by this injury.

After all, Longguo players have never lacked talented young people, but they often "injure Zhongyong" due to some external factors.

Let's just talk about Wang Chu, who is called a "genius" by Mane. He just went back to prepare to play in the National Games. He tore the lateral collateral ligament of his right knee and rested for half a year.

Then it gradually failed, and finally ended the contract with Metz and joined the Luxembourg team, and slowly "disappeared from everyone".

Dong Fangzhuo, who was valued by Ferguson, also had a similar experience.

In order to be able to participate in the Olympics, Dong Fangzhuo chose conservative treatment in the treatment plan for the knee meniscus and cruciate ligament, so he missed the best time for treatment.

Therefore, after the Olympics, Dong Fangzhuo failed to fully recover, and then he continued to play football under the torment of injuries, and finally became an ordinary guy and retired early.

Therefore, Pan Yi's scolding of Wu Lei was really out of a kind of heartfelt concern.

Wu Lei can actually see this kind of concern and worry.

So he also felt sorry for Pan Yi.

But he has always been a relatively introverted person who is less likely to show his feelings. He can only keep in mind Pan Yi's kindness to him.

Then I secretly decided that after the injury healed, I should train and compete even harder, so as to bring back the progress I had made!
In fact, it's not just Wu Lei.

Including Casemiro, including other people in the Hamburg team, Pan Yi is about the same age as them, and they all get along very well with each other.

As the players said in interviews, they are more like friends, even buddies, so his attitude and emotion towards the players makes everyone more willing to get close to him and play for him .

While Pan Yi was cursing, the inspection report from the Hamburg team doctor also came out.

Looking at the report, Pan Yi's frown, which had been frowning tightly, relaxed a little.

The injuries of the two boys are not serious, just some bruises on the calf, and it is expected to rest for 6-8 days before they can recover!

"Be careful next time you two!" Pan Yi laughed and scolded Wu Lei and Casemiro again, and walked out of the physical therapy room with a relaxed pace.

……

Since they will only miss one game, they only need to consider the next game against Frankfurt.

From the perspective of team tactics, in fact, the impact of Casemiro's injury will be greater.

Casemiro is very important to the current Hamburg.

He has strong physical fitness, amazing stealing ability and outstanding technology, and has a stable control of his position.

Pan Yi appreciates his control of space and his focus on the game, as well as his ability to find the best balance between offense and defense.

Although the other defensive midfielder Makoto Hasebe is also very good, he has plenty of physical strength, and he runs very actively on the field, with precise passing and dexterous breakthroughs.

But without Casemiro by his side, Makoto Hasebe would lack a barrier around him, and it would be easy to be directly exposed to the opponent's firepower.

In this case, Makoto Hasebe's weakness in space perception will be caught and attacked.

This phenomenon is often seen in midfield combinations in world football, that is, when the two are put together, they are invincible in the world, and if one is missing, it will not work.

Gattuso + Pirlo are farther away, and Kante + Jorginho are closer.

In the Hamburg formation, once the midfielder loses power, the pressure on the defense will increase exponentially, and the entire formation will not be able to operate smoothly.

Relatively speaking, Wu Lei's absence is better.

After all, Lin Zhijian's speed and technique are also very good, which should be able to make up for the impact of Wu Lei's injury to a certain extent.

No matter how bad it is, he can transfer Sun Xingmin to the right and let Jansen play the left winger. Pan Yi actually has many solutions.

It's just that the position of the defensive midfielder is a headache. Pan Yi knew from the beginning of the season that there was a lack of excellent substitutes in this position!

But now there is no other way.

When facing Frankfurt in the third round, Shelbrey's partner Makoto Hasebe had to try.

……

On September 9, in the third round of the Bundesliga, Frankfurt played at home against Hamburg.

If it was before the season, this matchup might be regarded as a low-level match between a newly promoted team and a relegation team.

But it's different now.

Hamburg started with two consecutive victories, while Frankfurt defeated the powerful Leverkusen 2:1 in the first round, and defeated Hoffenheim 3:0 in the second round, also achieving two consecutive victories!

They are only ranked third in the standings with a goal difference and a disadvantage in the number of goals scored.

——Ranked in second place is Bayern Munich, which also has 6 points.

Therefore, this "low-level" match in the third round suddenly changed overnight and became the top battle!
It can also be said to be the transformation from "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" to the real "Battle of Tianwang Mountain"!

Frankfurt is in excellent condition, so Pan Yi naturally did not dare to be negligent, and deployed the strongest lineup he can come up with now, but replaced the injured Casemiro and Wu Lei with Sherbrey and Lin Zhijian respectively.

On the Frankfurt side, they also have a 4231 formation:

Center: Oaken.

Frontcourt: Gan Guishi, Mel, Aigner.

Defenders: Schwegler, Rhodes.

Defenders: Ochipka, Anderson, Zambraro, Sebastian Jung.

Goalkeeper: Trapp.

Since Frankfurt has a Japanese national team player, this is also a Japanese derby.

However, as Zhang Lu mentioned in the commentary before, Japanese and Korean players are everywhere in the Bundesliga, so this kind of derby is very common and will not be particularly eye-catching.

After the start of the game, the two sides played very fiercely and the game was fast-paced, but there were a lot of mistakes, and the content of the game was a bit lacklustre.

In the 13th minute, Frankfurt left winger Gan Guishi caught a mistake in Hamburg's backcourt and shot successfully, opening the scoring for Frankfurt.

After losing the ball, Hamburg was a little flustered. He wanted to counterattack but failed to play quality.

Instead, in the 18th minute, Frankfurt center Aukern took advantage of a header opportunity to rewrite the score to 2:0.

At this time, Hamburg woke up like a dream under the command of Pan Yi, and finally Makoto Hasebe scored a long-range shot before the intermission to tie the score to 2:1.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Pan Yi directly withdrew Shelbrey, who performed poorly in the first half, and replaced captain Westerman in this position.

This change is still effective.

At this time, Frankfurt pushed harder and played harder, while Hamburg was not to be outdone even though it was an away game.

The two sides came and went, and began to play a wonderful confrontation.

In the 63rd minute, De Bruyne sent a direct pass from the front of the penalty area. After Lin Zhijian shook off the defensive player on the right, he passed the ball low and flat to the goal. Sun Xingmin followed up and hit a shot, equalizing the score for Hamburg! 2:2!

But in the 86th minute, Frankfurt midfielder Rhodes made a long pass to the front. Oaken grabbed the first point and then flew the header. Overtake the score again to 3:2!

It was almost a game-winning shot.

In the end, Frankfurt narrowly beat Hamburg 3:2 at home. While continuing its winning streak, it also ended Hamburg's two-game winning streak.
