Chapter 242 You Don't Understand the Basic Principles of Statistics(2/3)
In contrast, although Leverkusen's players can be considered running, they will be worn down by the long double matches a week.
Competing consumption with burgers? Overthinking!
…
"Goallllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
"In the 90th minute of the game, Hamburg scored again!"
"This time, Hamburg took advantage of Leverkusen's all-out pressure and the empty defense to make a beautiful counterattack."
"Paulinho ran with the ball from the midfield, took it to the front of the penalty area, and then distributed it to the right. Salah succeeded in pushing the ball!"
"This goal completely killed the game!"
"Leverkusen defended the entire game, but conceded a goal at the end of each half, and ultimately lost at home!"
In fact, the arrival of this goal should be expected.
When Hyypia realized that his players might not be able to defeat Hamburg and that there was not much game time left, he had no choice but to let his players launch a final counterattack.
But now, how can Leverkusen drag their exhausted bodies after running for a whole game and then launch an attack on the Hamburg position that is full of fighting spirit?
Instead, his originally tight defense line became a little loose.
Hamburg took advantage of this opportunity and launched an offensive by the running maniac Violent Bird, which resulted in a goal.
0:2, this score can already allow Hamburg players to celebrate the victory in advance.
…
At the post-match press conference, Leverkusen coach Hyypia finally admitted defeat.
He said: "I have to congratulate Hamburg. They are indeed the better team. I also admit that Hamburg will be the most powerful contender for the Bundesliga championship this season!"
Later, Hyypia also said that it is not time for Leverkusen to give up yet.
As long as the team performs better from top to bottom, I believe there will be a chance to reverse the situation and get back to the forefront.
Because the league is not halfway through yet, it is too early to talk about giving up the championship. The 9-point gap is indeed very large, but it is not so large that it is completely despairing.
There are too many teams that perform well in the early stages of the league but collapse in the later stages, especially in the Bundesliga. There are countless such examples.
However, having Hyypia say such words in public is enough to prove that after Hamburg won this game, Hyypia was truly convinced of Pan Yi.
Even such a tough defense failed to prevent Hamburg from scoring. Hyypia really has no tricks left!
Pan Yi first praised the players' excellent performance and talked about the goal at the end of the first half:
"We did a great job with the use of set pieces. The boys were very smart, and the quick free kick goal in the first half was based on some experience from normal games."
"Actually, this kind of free kick is not something we have practiced in training, but comes from the players' own wisdom. De Bruyne even remembered to consult the referee before taking the penalty kick to prevent the quick goal from being disallowed.
"
"It can be seen that it was our clever mind, rich experience and on-the-spot decisions that allowed us to find a breakthrough to crack the opponent's secret defense, thus completely changing the situation on the field!"
"I am very lucky to have such a group of outstanding players, and it is my honor to coach them!"
Pan Yi then mentioned that this game will be an important node, and winning against Leverkusen will make Hamburg more confident.
"It fully proves that the rotation system we have adhered to from the beginning of the season to the present, the tactical strategies adopted, and the efforts and sweat put in by all of us are all worth it!"
"Goals scored at the last moment of the two halves also show that our players' attention has been maintained and their physical condition has been maintained very well."
"These are very excellent qualities. And these qualities can take us further!"
…
The day after the game, all major media in Germany were also rushing to praise Hamburg's performance.
In addition to Leverkusen's loss to Hamburg, which widened the points gap, Dortmund also lost 1:2 to Wolfsburg in an away game this round! There is already a 6-point gap between them and Hamburg.
Only the powerful Bayern defeated Augsburg 3-0 at home and still followed Hamburg.
But compared with the difficulty of Hamburg's away victory over Leverkusen, Bayern's victory seems not worth mentioning.
"Hamburg Morning Post" said, "From this game, it is not difficult for us to see that Hamburg is the most champion team in the Bundesliga so far this season! The traditional Bundesliga team Leverkusen is facing
When eating hamburgers, she is like a little daughter-in-law who can be beaten or scolded without daring to fart!"
"Bild" said, "Whether it was the process or the result of this game, Hamburg's performance was convincing. Everyone must admit that they are indeed the strongest contender for the Bundesliga championship this season."
Even the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", which has never been associated with Hamburg, has to admit this time that this "Northern King" may really be as famous as the "Southern King". For Bayern Munich, this team comes from the north.
The team will become a real threat again!
This is not only an affirmation of Hamburg, but also an affirmation of Pan Yi.
Even bookmakers have revised their Bundesliga winning odds this season.
Now Hamburg's winning odds have begun to leave Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen behind, closely approaching Bayern Munich, ranking second.
Although this represents the betting company's optimism, it also shows that they still believe that the traditional powerhouse Bayern still has a chance to overtake Hamburg in the subsequent schedule and continue to top the Bundesliga!
…
After playing Leverkusen, Hamburg finally got a chance to breathe and got more than a week of rest.
Pan Yi gave the entire team two days off at once, which can be regarded as a reward for their recent outstanding performance.
For Hamburg players with high morale and good professional attitudes, a two-day holiday will not affect their condition.
Then they faced the challenge of Hannover 96 at home.
Hamburg also won this game very easily.
Only eight minutes into the game, Wu Lei grabbed a point in the penalty area for Hamburg and hit a powerful volley with his left foot. The ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Before the end of the first half, Vardy scored another victory, 2:0.
After changing sides in the second half, Robertson stepped forward with an assist and hit a long shot to expand the score to 3:0, basically killing the suspense of the game.
Hannover 96 only scored a face-saving goal in stoppage time by Hungarian international Justi.
In the end, Hamburg defeated Hannover 96 3:1 at home.
But this time the focus of German media and fans is not on Hamburg.
Because on the next day, the Bundesliga ushered in this season's national derby, Dortmund faced Bayern Munich!
This is also the first head-to-head confrontation between Klopp and Guardiola in the Bundesliga.
Pan Yi also specially took Inzaghi and Nargelsmann to the stands of the Westfalenstadion to watch the game together.
After all, these two teams, especially Bayern, are the absolute stumbling blocks on Hamburg's road to winning the championship!
Watching their games live is always helpful in analyzing their tactics and player characteristics.
Besides, aside from studying the opponent, this exciting duel alone is worth the visit of "fan" Pan Yi!
The Westfalenstadion was packed today, with more than 80,000 fans waving yellow flags and holding up yellow and black scarves, making the atmosphere here look like a war.
The battle between the two famous coaches is also very interesting.
Klopp's side is a more conventional 4231.
Forward: Lewandowski.
Frontcourt: Reus, Mkhitaryan, Blaszczykovski.
Midfielder: Shaheen, Bender.
Defenders: Durm, Friedrich, Papastathopoulos, Grosskreutz.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
But Guardiola's side is a bit interesting.
He discharged an atypical 4141!
Muller and Robben both played as wide midfielders, and what is even more surprising is that Lahm also stood in the midfield position and acted as a central midfielder.
It can be said that this is another work of Guashuai's whole life.
Forward: Mandzukic.
Midfielder: Muller, Kroos, Lahm, Robben.
Defensive midfielder: Javi Martinez.
Defenders: Alaba, Dante, Boateng, Rafinha.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Seeing this starting list, Pan Yi smiled: "As expected of Gua Shuai, he can come up with something new every time!"
Nagelsmann and Inzaghi also nodded.
Who says it's not?
Everyone thought that Guardiola would fight against Klopp and use his best 4-3-3 formation to challenge Dortmund, but now he has chosen a more defensive formation to play.
Moreover, by placing the more defensively capable Lahm in the middle of the midfield and abandoning the more "conventional" Thiago, Gotze and others, I feel that Guardiola needs to implement his defensive philosophy to the end.
