289 Looking forward to a hero
On September 21, the 5th round of the Bundesliga, People's Park Stadium.
The scene was full. When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, the Hamburg fans at the scene cheered magnificently!
Over the past month, Hamburg's performance has satisfied every fan, and the Situ Yunbing cheering team composed of Chinese fans in the stands seemed to be integrated with Hamburg fans.
McLaren stood in front of the visiting team coach's seat and looked at Situ Yunbing with some envy.
As the head coach, who doesn’t want to get crazy support and support from fans?
It is hard to imagine that Situ Yunbing gathered super popularity on this stadium in just one month!
Situ Yunbing, who was standing on the sidelines waiting for the start of the game, did not give the team a bloody blow before the game. On the contrary, he asked the team to face this game with caution. Wolfsburg's player lineup is definitely the best in the Bundesliga, even if their ranking was not as good as Hamburg last season.
When the starters of both teams walked into the stadium, all the fans used their full enthusiasm to make the atmosphere even more exciting.
"Good afternoon for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the 5th round of the Bundesliga in the new season. The league leader Hamburg team will face Wolfsburg at home, which is downstream of the rankings.
Affected by the last round of Hamburg derby, three main players in Hamburg were suspended today. The outside world predicted that their strength would be greatly reduced. Wolfsburg performed poorly since the start of the season under the leadership of new coach McLaren, with 1 win and 3 losses in the previous four league rounds.
If we introduce Wolfsburg to new fans now, saying that they are the 2009 Bundesliga champions, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.
The two coaches were both low-key before the game, but no one suspected that they must have a lot of ideas about victory!
OK, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Hamburg first release 433.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Westman, Van Dijk, Matison, Ogo.
Midfielder: Lincon, Kante, Matuidi.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Griezmann, Reus.
Wolfsburg starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Benalio.
Defenders: Pekarik, Barzali, Kyar, Schefel.
Midfielder: Karenber, Josue, Diego.
Forwards: Makoto Hasegawa, Dzeko, Grafitte.
Judging from the arrangement of the two teams, both teams have set up a forward and are biased towards offense, but whether they can play a passionate game depends more on Wolfsburg, because their midfield organization ability is stronger!”
Wolfsburg's lineup is indeed good, but it is worse than the year he won the championship. For example, Graffitt's form began to decline last season.
Under the guidance of the new coach in the new season, Wolfsburg's biggest problem is actually defense. They conceded 8 goals in 4 games, and their offensive ability is still acceptable, and they averaged 1.5 goals per game.
Situ Yunbing is not affected by any external interference. The team is now basically on the right track. The tactical running-in has achieved certain results, and the playing style and personnel use are clarified. Now it has entered a period of rapid growth. At this time, the team needs to avoid the most is a crushing defeat. A crushing defeat will hurt morale and hit the team's confidence. At the same time, if the team has expectations on the basis of stable progress, then it is the birth of a hero!
It is difficult for a team without heroes to create miracles!
Griezmann and Reus, who have performed well in the past four rounds of the league, have such potential, but Situ Yunbing will expect more from them. He hopes that some players can become outstanding and even be arrogant on the court!
With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.
The cheers echoed in all directions in the People's Park are echoing in the stadium of the People's Park.
Wolfsburg coach McLaren had a serious look in his eyes but a sharp look. When Wolfsburg tried to repeatedly attack Hamburg's defense from the first minute of the game, the signs of his rapid pace and attempting to attack the Hamburg defense line repeatedly showed his ambition for the game!
There are few conservative coaches in England, or in other words, there are no good coaches in England in recent years. Perhaps the best coaches among the active coaches should be Redknapp. Their coaching is more influenced by the Premier League and lacks the baptism of the European continental style.
Fast-paced, high-intensity, fierce confrontation to gain an advantage always gives people the impression that they have more strength and lack wisdom.
Before the game, McLaren was very low-key, because his team only won one of his past four league games, and he couldn't make it high-profile!
But it is absolutely impossible to say that Wolfsburg does not want to take over the opponent when Hamburg is short of soldiers and major generals. If Wolfsburg dares not fight for victory at the People's Park Stadium when the midfielder De Bruyne is missing, what hope does they have?
McLaren's position as the coach may be in danger.
In the third minute of the game, Diego received a pass from Karenbay on the left side of the frontcourt. Lincon intercepted him from the front. The former Bundesliga MVP who ran away from Juventus quickly returned to the Bundesliga are still in a good mood here. Facing Lincon, he easily and flexibly pivoted the ball and changed direction and completed his escape, but Kante, who caught his eye in the next second, caught him off guard!
Kanter is fast, and perhaps the interception skills need to be strengthened, but the success rate of his steal will be increased after his teammates.
Seeing that Kanter was coming in a fierce manner, Diego could not change direction continuously and quickly passed the ball directly behind Kanter.
The ability to play the ball in a timely manner within a small range is still reflected in the extreme.
Dzeko responded with his back in front of the penalty area. When Matuidi rushed to press, he pulled the ball and turned in the opposite direction. As soon as he turned around, he saw the tall and powerful Van Dijk, and he could only choose to quickly hit the ball and hit it across.
Grafitt cut across from the left to the front of the penalty area. After Westerman contracted his defense, he touched the ball and chose to shoot at the first shot!
With a low shot, the football flew towards the lower left angle of the middle of the goal. Navas moved steadily and confiscated the ball.
Since Wolfsburg takes the initiative to attack, Hamburg is naturally popular, and their defensive counterattack has a better place to use.
Navas quickly threw the ball to the left and handed it to Ogo, who sent the ball straight ahead.
Reus, who started on the backcourt on the sidelines, obviously had a large drawdown because there was a lack of organizers in the middle and the offensive advancement required a winger to retreat!
When Makoto Hasegawa quickly returned to defend and pressed, Reus hit the ball diagonally, and then turned around and started running forward.
Matuidi stepped forward and made a diagonal pass to send the ball to the front of Reus's running position, making Makoto Hasegawa return to defense without effect.
After passing the midfield, Reus dribbled and accelerated.
This led to a rapid retreat in Wolfsburg's defense line. Reus changed direction and turned into the incision track in front of Pekarik in advance. Josue and Pekarik came to attack him together.
Reus first passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area to the left side of the middle before the two attacks.
Griezmann dribbled in the running in a diagonal manner and rushed to Barzali, stopped in an emergency and grabbed the ball or passed the ball to Aubameyang who cut in the other side.
Barzali didn't dare to rob, but his body's center of gravity tilted towards the middle lane, which was completely deceived by Griezmann's fake moves!
When Griezmann started the ball again, he went to the left rib of the penalty area. Barzali could only turn around and didn't have time to intercept. Griezmann grasped this rhythm change very well.
Griezmann made a low shot on the left side of the penalty area, and the football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. At the critical moment, Benalio saved the ball with one hand and saved it from the bottom line with one hand!
Hamburg fans in the stands of the People's Park Stadium gave Griezmann applause after a burst of marvel.
Griezmann himself was not disappointed.
His expression was calm, and his mind echoed a few words when he was chatting with Situ Yunbing at the training ground this morning.
During the break, he asked Situ Yunbing as if jokingly: "Boss, how much do I have to Gareth Bell?"
Situ Yunbing was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't know, but there is no defender in Ligue 1 who can defend Gareth Bale one-on-one."
Situ Yunbing did not lie. With Gareth Bale's current impact, there is really no defender who can block him in the Ligue 1 field, but the team's offense and defense will never be a personal heroic duel.
But in terms of player role, Gareth Bale is a nuclear weapon in the Ligue 1 field, and he can bring some devastating blows to his opponent on the left!
Situ Yunbing finally said to him: "There are no two players in the world who are exactly the same. There are so many Zidane II, Pele II, and Maradona II. In the end, either these IIs disappeared or they lived as themselves, such as Messi.
Don’t care about who to compare with. It doesn’t make sense. The person you want to compete with is always yourself!”
For Griezmann, Reus, De Bruyne, and others, they all want to run a little faster!
Situ Yun was meticulous in supervising the battle on the sidelines, and the situation of the game seemed to be decided at the beginning.
Wolfsburg's midfielder does not have strong interception capabilities, otherwise they would not have averaged two goals in their last four games.
In terms of offensive tactics, McLaren did not bring much fresh things to Wolfsburg. Of course, in the top European leagues, only the Serie A arena are full of tactical competitions, and the tactical differences in other leagues are not large.
The rhythm of the game basically turned into the way that Wolfsburg could play one or two strong attacks, and Hamburg could play a counterattack once.
The three Hamburg midfielders, Lincon, Kante and Matuidi, who limit Wolfsburg's offensive efficiency, are limited by the crazy pressing of the three Hamburg midfielders, making it difficult for them to have unexpected threatening balls in the final part of the offense.
Lin Kong seems a bit reckless, but with Kante, who is taking the lead, has a good effect. Matuidi is more experienced and fast, and has added another layer of guarantee.
Diego and Karenber, as well as Brazilian midfielder Josue, who are occasionally inserted, are unable to show creative performances in front of the penalty area.
The factor that reduces the threat of Hamburg counterattack is that each counterattack is too long to advance. Without De Bruyne, it is basically difficult for the winger to run directly forward when the counterattack opportunity appears, which brings pressure to the opponent in the first time, and requires the winger to push forward from the center and backcourt, while the opponent has more time to adjust the defense line.
The first 20 minutes seemed to be in a stalemate, but the pace was speeding up little by little!
Chapter completed!
