Chapter 180 Youth is like a rushing river

In the pre-match press conference, Bayern coach Heynckes looked very relaxed.

He said that this game is just an ordinary Bundesliga, not a Champions League final, and everyone's attention does not need to be so high.

But the old coach also said that because he hopes to open a greater distance from his opponents in the standings as much as possible, he will also use his main force to play in this game and strive to win this away victory.

"Revenge? I don't have such thoughts. I used all my strength against Hamburg just to secure the three points at the People's Park, that's all."

When the reporter asked him what he thought of Pan Yi, the corner of Heynckes' mouth twitched slightly:
"He's an opponent I respect a lot. He helped AC Milan beat us and now leads Hamburg to a top-four finish in the Bundesliga."

"He is, so to speak, the best football coach of the younger generation. To be honest, I also learned a few things from his tactics."

"If we have any advantage in this game, it is that the team I lead is still Bayern, but the opponent is not Milan."

"No disrespect to Hamburg, but Milan is Milan and this is a team where pressure is felt at any given moment."

"So, we will beat Hamburg, and hope that in this game we can show the abilities and characteristics of our players, and then continue to maintain the momentum of victory!"

"What, you said we would try to score as many goals as possible to humiliate Pan Yi? No, no, how could that be? 10:0 is the same as 1:0, only three points. If I had to choose, I'd rather be 10 games 1:0..."

However, if Heynckes was considered polite at the press conference, the Bayern players were less merciless.

Especially Robben.

He missed a single goal in the last Champions League final, which put him under a lot of pressure after the game.

Therefore, he bluntly said that he would take revenge this season!
The primary target of revenge is of course AC Milan, but they still can't touch it now;

Therefore, Robben said that although Pan Yi was only the assistant coach of the Milan team last season, since he met him, he would not definitely let him taste his strength.

"Yes, I hope to score goals. And, score as many goals as possible, preferably a hat-trick!"

Robben looked confident, driven and eager in his eyes.

And when Pan Yi walked into the press conference hall, the atmosphere on the scene had some subtle changes.

Some reporters are relatively staunch "rebels", thinking that the recent rounds of competitions are the embodiment of the true level of the coach of the Dragon Kingdom, so they have always looked at Pan Yi with suspicion.

Some reporters believe that even if Hamburg is in an unstable state recently, it is also a phenomenon often seen in a young team, and it still depends on Pan Yi's subsequent adjustments before making a conclusion.

Moreover, Hamburg is still ranked fourth in the Bundesliga standings. For a head coach who has just coached Hamburg this season, it is already a great success.

Look at the teams behind Hamburg, Dortmund, Leverkusen...

Which team is not stronger on paper than Hamburg?

Taking a Gotze or Lewandowski from Dortmund may be worth more than all the starters in Hamburg combined.

But it is such a "weak team", but Pan Yi has brought it to a height that it did not belong to, and then he was criticized because of his unsatisfactory performance in a few games. It is really puzzling, and some reporters feel a little pity.

Taking a step back, this so-called "unsatisfactory performance" is actually just a recent loss!

Doesn't this also show from the side that the performance of Pan Yi's Hamburg is far higher than expected, causing fans and the media to view Hamburg as a requirement for a strong team like Bayern, and feel that it needs a big victory to be satisfied.

Therefore, losing a game is a "cliff performance"...

In addition, because Pan Yi himself is amiable, his speeches at press conferences can always bring good materials to reporters, so he has a high reputation in the hearts of many reporters.

When Pan Yi came in, there was even bursts of applause in the press conference hall!

Of course, even the "hardcore" who supports Pan Yi the most is pessimistic about this game.

So, the question that comes up is basically something like this:
"For the home game against Bayern, do you think there is a chance to defend and score a point?"

And Pan Yi praised the party for opening the way:
"Bayern is a super strong team. They have a stable state, stronger pressure and a good overall style of play."

"This season they have brought in more stars and become stronger, as evidenced by their nine-game winning streak at the start. To be honest, I think the Bundesliga title is over for this season and they will regain that salad plate."

"Heynckes is a respectable old coach, he does things meticulously, and he can put his players in the most suitable position and play their best potential. As a young coach, I can learn from him. Learned a lot."

The last sentence is of course true.

After all, in Pan Yi's system tutorial, there are also Heynckes' relevant tactical content, so he has certainly studied it seriously.

Then Pan Yi went on to say:

"Oh, what question did you ask just now? To get points?"

"Yes, of course I want to score points. We didn't walk into People's Park to lose."

"As for one point or three points... do you guys guess which one I like more?"

The reporters chuckled a few times, and the atmosphere at the press conference became a little lighter.

"They have top stars in their lineup. Of course it will be difficult to restrain their performance, but we will work hard to do it."

"Mandzukic and Müller are top scorers in the world, while Robben and Ribéry can run through the half and both can create a lot of threats."

"Of course I will arrange tactics to restrict them. But you all know that if stars can be restricted casually, then they will not be called stars."

"As coaches, we just arrange tactics as best we can, but in the end the game still needs to be played by players. As long as it is a game played by humans, there will be changes."

"And on the football field, talented players like Arjen Robben and Muller, their inspiration is the biggest variable."

"There is a sage surnamed Li in Longguo who once said, do your best and obey the destiny. This is my mentality now..."

That's the end of the press conference.

But the reporters found that they did not get the explosive news they wanted from Pan Yi today.

Attacking people, dealing with revenge, claiming to attack and so on.

More restrained speeches and expressions of respect for Bayern.

Even a little...too respectful.

Judging from Pan Yi's words, although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that he just wanted a draw for this game.

This also makes many media reporters somewhat regretful, especially those "resolute faction".

It seems that no matter how hard-edged young people are, after being beaten mercilessly by reality, their edges and corners will be worn away.

When Pan Yi walked out of the press conference hall, he even heard a song that was popular in Longguo just this year:
"Youth is like a rushing river. Once it's gone, it's too late to say goodbye. Only the numb me is left, without the blood of the year..."
