Chapter 178 Fight Bayern again!

In the Bundesliga, in fact, many seasons have the same plot: Bayern leads the way and then wins the championship.

With Dortmund spoiling the situation in the past two seasons, it became two teams fighting for each other, and then Dortmund won the championship.

For the remaining Bundesliga teams, the strengths of each other are actually relatively close, and it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

For example, the newly promoted Frankfurt has been making great progress since the start of the game.

他们就在第7轮比赛中以0：2负于门兴格拉德巴赫，然后又转头在第8轮以3：1击败汉诺威96，却再在第9轮以1：2败给近况不佳的斯图加特。

If you insert Hamburg's record against these teams into it, you will find that there is a series of sets between them, and it is impossible to figure out who is stronger and who is weaker from the numbers.

Because of this, in the standings, the teams below Bayern have always been entangled, because it is very likely that the result of a round of games will lead to a reshuffle of the teams on the list.

Now that the nine rounds are over, the first place is of course Bayern, which has maintained a complete victory, with 27 points.

排第二的是，是近期取得三连胜的沙尔克04，6胜2平1负积20分。

Then there is Frankfurt, with 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 19 points.

Although Hamburg is in a bad state recently, it can still rank fourth with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 17 points, and still has not fallen out of the Champions League!

Ranked fifth and sixth are Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen, who have the same 15 points, with the same record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.

In other words, in the tenth round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg vs. Bayern Munich at home, although the difference in points is as much as 10 points, it is still a match between No.1 and No.4.

And for the old coach Heynckes, this can be regarded as a battle of revenge!

After all, just over five months ago, Pan Yi's AC Milan defeated Bayern in the Champions League final and won the championship!

And it was done in front of tens of thousands of Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena.

But this time, it is obvious that almost everyone is optimistic that the old man can succeed in revenge.

After all, although Pan Yi is still the same Pan Yi, his opponent is no longer the original opponent.

How can the strength of Hamburg be compared with AC Milan?

Not to mention that AC Milan was in full swing at the time, unbeaten in the league and won the championship ahead of schedule, and it was also a strong opponent in the Champions League.

The current Hamburg has only achieved a mediocre record of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the past four games, and the opponents are also some teams in the relegation zone.

Therefore, although Hamburg is playing at home, everyone generally believes that Hamburg will lose this game!
……

At this time, in the head coach's office, Pan Yi was watching the game with other members of the coaching staff.

This is the last round of Bayern Munich's strong dialogue against Leverkusen at home.

After sweeping Düsseldorf 5-0 and winning eight consecutive victories, Bayern, who returned home, encountered many difficulties in this game.

For a long time, Bayern had nothing to do with Leverkusen's tight defense, and the score of 1:1 was maintained for a long time.

It was not until the 86th minute that Bayern relied on a corner kick and Mandzukic scored a header, and they won the game without any risk.

Therefore, this game is still of great reference value for the Hamburg coaching staff led by Pan Yi.

From Pan Yi's point of view, Leverkusen's tactics can be said to be successful, but they can also be regarded as failures.

The reason why it is said to be successful is because their tactics are right.

Their interim coach Sami Hyypia was the captain of Liverpool's iron-blooded central defender in the player era, and he knew how to defend.

When facing Bayern in the away game, Hyypia knew that the opponent's main offensive point was the rib area after Robben's inside cut, so he formed a targeted 4321 defensive center formation.

And this formation was clearly successful in the early stages of the game.

They not only defended Robben, but also used their striker Kisling's ability to grab points to score a goal first.

But why is it a failure?

That's because there is a certain gap between Leverkusen's own strength and Bayern's. At the same time, the active defense in the first half also caused excessive physical consumption.

That put them in trouble early in the second half, before Arjen Robben broke free and scored the equaliser.

At this time, Heynckes still had cards in his hand.

He even replaced Robben, who had scored a goal but was exhausted due to too long a fight, and moved Alaba to the left winger position, and continued to attack Leverkusen's right.

In the end Alaba took a corner and took it himself, allowing Mandzukic to score the winning goal.

Here we can see the gap in lineup depth between the two teams.

Leverkusen's right wing was almost blown up later, but Hyypia had no suitable replacements.

This is why he wanted to buy Carvajal at the beginning of the season-the original main Croatian international Joel Luka eventually left the team, which made the already poor Leverkusen worse on the right.

But tactically, Leverkusen is also questionable.

They rushed too hard in the early stage, and they were too obsessed with hitting Bayern's center when they counterattacked, making it difficult to reorganize the defensive formation after losing the ball.

After Heynckes changed his formation, Hypia's response also seemed sluggish, and he didn't think of a way until he was overtaken.

This is the importance of on-the-spot command.

A little hesitation and a little failure to respond in time will often cause irreversible consequences.

After watching the video, Pan Yi suggested that everyone can talk about their own opinions first.

Nagelsmann believes that Leverkusen's game can be regarded as a good demonstration for Hamburg, that is, how to limit Robben's inside cut.

At the same time, there is a bad demonstration, that is, it is necessary to pay attention to the reasonable distribution of physical energy while ensuring the intensity of pressing.

"I think we can do better than Leverkusen." Nagelsmann finally said, "After the first few rounds of rotation, our players' physical condition will be better, and now we are playing on the field. Smarter."

"But we still can't ignore Robben's offense." Inzaghi also said, "Leverkusen paid a high price to defend Robben in the first half. They hoarded a large number of personnel at the front of the penalty area. The rib area prevents Robben from cutting inside, but at the same time leaves a lot of space on the wing, allowing Bayern's full-backs to assist and kick.

Pan Yi nodded.

Of course he knows that to defeat Bayern, the most important thing is to defend Robben and limit Bayern's tactical system.

That's what Milan did in the Champions League final, and they won.

For Pan Yi, whether it is a center attack like Mandzukic, Thomas Muller's weird running, or Kroos' mid-way advance, he has a way to contain and resolve it.

But Robben, who is currently at the peak of his career, is still the most troublesome and difficult to defend in this Bayern lineup.

Sometimes you look like you've got it, and you've got it on his first, second... eighth inside cut.

But as long as there is a little slack once, the old man Luo will cut inside, the old man Luo will shoot, and the old man Luo will score!
Not to mention the cost of other position emptiness to guard Robben.

Leverkusen is a lesson from the past.

Of course, sometimes you want to prevent Robben, but you don't have to start with Robben himself.

Just cut off his teammates' passing lanes and leave him alone.

How can the old man Luo cut inside without the ball?

This brings us to the old-fashioned midfield control again.

"Everyone, this is our breakthrough."

After listening to the discussions of the coaches present, Pan Yi pointed to the two chess pieces in the middle of the tactical board.

"Whether we can beat Bayern depends on whether we can restrain their midfielders and break the integrity of their tactical system!"
