Chapter 270 The Sun’s transfer rumors

The next day, a photo of Hamburg players throwing head coach Pan Yi into the air made the front pages of major European newspapers.

——Of course, there are photos of Pan Yi falling to the ground and getting up in embarrassment, but this is not the point.

As a civilian team that was able to win the Bundesliga championship two rounds early, Hamburg attracted huge attention.

“Hats off to the burger!”

This is the commentary article published on the front page of "Bild".

In the article, a reporter from Bild spoke highly of Hamburg's performance this season and believed that they deserved to win the championship.

"Many people say that Hamburg is a team without superstars, but only a group of talented young people. But this team has inherited the fighting spirit of the old Hamburg team in the 1980s and just won the championship.

With a gathering of superstars and superior strength, Bayern Munich has won the league title!"

Bild also praised Hamburg's players, believing that this team, which has the lowest average age in the Bundesliga, will be a fresh force that cannot be underestimated in the Bundesliga in the next few years.

Of course, they did not forget to praise the head coach Pan Yi who brought these young players to Hamburg and allowed them to fully develop.

"Almost every player in Hamburg was introduced by Pan Yi, and they also made great contributions to Hamburg's championship in the past season. Pan Yi is the first Dragon to stand at the top of the Bundesliga.

Chinese!"

"Nearly two years ago, when Pan Yi took over as the head coach of Hamburg's first team, the team was still in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga. At that time, Pan Yi had no independent coaching experience and was not trusted by anyone.

.”

"But in the past two years, he has used extremely shocking results to impress everyone! And with his amazing performance in these two seasons, he has successfully become one of the first-tier coaches in Europe, which has caused a stir.

The attention and affirmation of fans all over the world."

"Especially in the past year, the Bundesliga has completely bid farewell to the traditional pattern of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund competing for hegemony! Hamburg's unbeaten win in advance is undoubtedly the story of the German football team after the miracle of Kaiserslautern.

Another miracle from the altar!”

"But the miracle of Kaiserslautern is just a flash in the pan. They have now sunk in the Bundesliga 2. And we have absolutely reason to believe that in the next few years, Hamburg will be able to compete with the two traditional giants Bayern Munich and Dortmund!"

"In the past, we have always believed that in the position of head coach, experience is the most important, but the emergence of Pan Yi tells us an ironclad fact, that is, talent is equally important. And Pan Yi, he is like this

A genius!..."

In addition to "Bild", which has always been at odds with Hamburg, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", which supports Bayern Munich, also put the news of Hamburg's championship on the front page this time, fully affirming their victory.

After this, "Süddeutsche Zeitung" also slammed Bayern Munich coach Guardiola's formation.

They believe that head coach Pan Yi's strategizing is the key to Hamburg's championship, while Guardiola's stubbornness and willfulness are the culprits of Bayern's surrender of the championship.

"Under the leadership of Guardiola, Bayern lost their pride in their courageous style of fighting hard and not being afraid of difficulties. Instead, they played pass and control with their heads covered and did not know how to adapt."

"Once the opponent becomes familiar with Bayern's style of play and targets it, it will be difficult for Guardiola to find a way to deal with it."

"Looking at Pan Yi, although his team also focuses on passing and controlling, it is flexible and changeable in the implementation of specific tactics. He can suppress the opponent in his own half, and he can also withdraw to attack the opponent's defensive counterattack.

, you can also use the high center forward to carry out forty-five degree bombing..."

"Compared with Pan Yi, Guardiola's tactics are simply useless. It is said that the two often discuss tactics together in private, so why can't Guardiola learn the essence of Pan Yi's tactics? He is still too stubborn!"

"Bayern's record this season proves this. They were eliminated by the Bundesliga team Kaiserslautern in the German Cup, and the Bundesliga championship was also taken away by Hamburg. What's ridiculous is that Guardiola may still want to win the next game.

He made a comeback in the direct confrontation with Hamburg, but Pan Yi didn’t give him this chance at all and won the championship two rounds in advance!”

"Including the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, Bayern also lost. And they lost 0:4. It was so shameless."

"Guardiola lost even his last chance. It only took him one season to go from winning the Triple Crown to getting nothing! Unless Bayern immediately replaces Guardiola with Pan Yi to play the second leg of the Champions League, there may be another chance.

A glimmer of hope..."

Of course, in addition to various reports praising Panyi and Hamburg, there are also some newspaper commentaries that point out the hidden dangers of Hamburg.

For example, "Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that Hamburg is also likely to make the same mistake as AC Milan.

"As we all know, Milan's rapid decline after winning the Triple Crown was directly related to Pan Yi's departure. Allegri's commanding ability cannot be compared with Pan Yi!"

"But the underlying reason behind it is also closely related to the sharp decline in the financial situation of the Milan club."

"In the 2012-2013 season, relying on the team left by Pan Yi, although Milan lost the Serie A championship under the leadership of Allegri, it could still reach the top four and enter the Champions League."

"But this season, Milan lost Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic, Gattuso, and also lost Salah, Kante, Van Dijk, Aubameyang..."

"Such a setback has caused Milan to completely lose the capital to compete for the top four, or even the top seven, and has now become a mid-to-lower team."

"Hamburg's current situation is actually somewhat similar to that of Milan. After winning the league, the team's morale is high, but at the same time it is also surrounded by crises and faces poaching from many wealthy teams."

"The Bundesliga's 50+1 policy makes Hamburg's economic situation not much better than Milan! And even a long-established team like AC Milan, a wealthy team with a golden brand, cannot retain people when they have no money.

, not to mention burgers?”

"And if Hamburg cannot retain many stars in the team and retain the meritorious young coach Pan Yi, in the end it will inevitably follow Milan's old path and eventually sink..."

Regarding such concerns, the "Sun", which has always been "well-informed", also gave its own continuous reports:

"Shocking revelation! Pan Yi has reached a secret agreement with Bayern Munich!"

"Just now! Pan Yi secretly met with Manchester United CEO Woodward, and the two parties reached a preliminary consensus on matters related to cooperation for the next season."

"Here comes a hot man! Levi made harsh words, claiming that Pan Yi will definitely belong to Tottenham!"

"Dragon Kingdom Shuangyi met! Fan Zhiyi and Pan Yi had a secret meeting in a ramen shop in Hamburg. Fan Zhiyi invited Pan Yi to join Crystal Palace. It is reported that the owner of Crystal Palace is not satisfied with the team's relegation, but has a more ambitious goal.

, so we did not hesitate to fire Tony Pulis, who led the team to avoid relegation."

"According to Manchester City Chairman Mubarak, his backstage boss Sheikh Mansour has stated that if Pan Yi can lead Manchester City to success, he will be rewarded with an oil well!"

In addition to these teams that have actually been in contact with Pan Yi, "The Sun" even added some rumors about the London duo:

"Wenger OUT! After failing to win the Premier League championship for ten consecutive years, Arsenal fans have shouted such a slogan. The famous Arsenal fan DT believes that it is time to let Wenger go, and Pan Yi's playing style is obviously

Perfect for the arsenal!”

"Mourinho is in danger! Since Chelsea has stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, owner Abramovich has already considered firing Mourinho, and Pan Yi, who is currently performing well in the Champions League, is his first choice.

Goal. When Pan Yi helped Milan defeat Chelsea in the Champions League final, he left a deep impression on Abramovich. Letting Pan Yi help Chelsea win the Champions League is obviously what Abramovich wants most!"

…

After the Hamburg team returned to Hamburg, they were of course warmly welcomed by the fans.

Because considering that there will be a very important second leg of the Champions League semi-finals two days later, the season has not really ended yet, and Hamburg did not hold a real carnival this time.

They just held a brief championship celebration in the People's Park Stadium and showed the fans a championship salad plate.

Even so, tens of thousands of fans gathered inside and outside the stadium to celebrate with the team.

This is only the second season of Hamburg led by Pan Yi, and they have won the Bundesliga championship!

During the acknowledgment session, Pan Yi also mentioned that the Bundesliga championship is only one of his goals this season.

His ultimate goal is to complete the Triple Crown!

The reason why this goal is called a "great cause" is of course because it is difficult to achieve.

Even if we look at all the leagues and clubs in European football, there are not many teams that have completed the treble of domestic leagues, FA Cup, and Champions League.

They were Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV in 1988, Manchester United in 1999, Barcelona in 2009, Inter Milan in 2010, Milan in 2012 and 2013.

In 2011, Bayern Munich had a total of eight teams.

Pan Yi participated in the entire process of Milan's Triple Crown in 2012, and now he wants to lead Hamburg again as the head coach!

Today, Hamburg has won the Bundesliga championship, but still needs the Champions League and German Cup.

The German Cup has entered the final, and the Champions League is only one semi-final away from entering the final!

Pan Yi did not directly respond to media rumors that he might leave Hamburg.

He knew that everything would have to wait until the end of the season.

Wait until you actually win the Triple Crown!

…

After a simple celebration, the Hamburg team quickly rushed to Madrid to prepare for the crucial second round against Atletico Madrid.

In the first leg, there was only a small victory at home by one goal. Everyone knew that this was not safe, especially as Hamburg was about to go to the Calderon Stadium and face a team like Atletico Madrid away.

Therefore, Pan Yi and the coaching staff continue to observe and study Atletico Madrid and analyze their recent changes.

"In the last round of La Liga against Valencia, Atletico Madrid used a three-back formation, which is worth noting."

Speaking at the tactical meeting, Nagelsmann said.

"Huh?" Pan Yi still felt a little surprised when he heard the news.

After all, in his impression, Simeone basically implemented his 442 formation for ten years when he was at Atletico Madrid, and it will not be until around 2021 that he will try to use the 3-back system in some games.

Could it be another change caused by Pan Yi's time travel?

Maybe that's true.

After watching some clips of Atletico Madrid's 1:0 victory over Valencia and Nagelsmann's analysis report, Pan Yi confirmed this.

Today's world football has a tendency to lean towards a more radical three-back formation, and more of the team's offensive attributes are being developed.
