Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 301 Bundesliga Peak Showdown!

On the last day of October, Situ Yunbing led a team to visit Cologne.

In the 10th round of the league, Hamburg finally ushered in a defeat after nine unbeaten rounds in the new season.

Cologne, which is hovering outside the relegation zone, is strictly defending against Hamburg at home. They have done their defensive work to the extreme, focusing on containing the performance of Reus and De Bruyne, limiting the speed advantage of Hamburg in terms of space, and restraining the team in man-to-man defense. of creativity.

Hamburg was unable to attack for a long time, but was successfully attacked by Cologne's counterattack, and Podolski's throat was sealed with blood.

After the defeat by Cologne, Situ Yunbing did not over-interpret the loss. Winning or losing is sometimes normal. Hamburg's 8 wins and 1 tie in the league in the new season are already beyond expectations. The team will become more pragmatic, and their preparations will be more targeted. It must be admitted that Cologne performed very well at home, even if they did not have many opportunities throughout the game.

But this also reflects Hamburg's lack of technical and tactical capabilities when it needs to fight tough battles.

In the same round, Dortmund easily won Mainz 2-0 in the away game. At this time, the real gap between Mainz and the championship team can be seen.

After 10 rounds, Hamburg and Dortmund are neck and neck in the standings.

Burger, 25 points.

Dortmund, 25 points.

Mainz, 24 points.

The loss to Cologne made Situ Yunbing realize that according to Hamburg's current staffing, only one De Bruyne in the midfield is not enough.

Perhaps in 80% of the games, De Bruyne can bring the offensive creativity needed by the Hamburg striker, but to compete for the championship and enter the real top ranks, a De Bruyne is still slightly insufficient.

Kanter can only make contributions on the defensive end at this stage. This is the situation where he is making rapid progress. Demel is already finalized. The defense is better, and the offense cannot be counted on. Although Rincon has plasticity, he is not going to attack. Develop in the direction of a midfielder or an organizational midfielder.

According to the current personnel reserves in the team, it is completely impossible to increase creativity in the midfield.

Besides, the most embarrassing thing now is that even if there is a midfielder who can also bring creativity to the team beside De Bruyne, Situ Yunbing can't use it!

The existence of Demel is to give Kanter a better growth environment. If Kanter is only used as a defensive midfielder, I am afraid that Kanter will need to grow a little more to reassure Situ Yunbing. If only Demel is used, Situ Yun Bing is relieved, but Kanter has no chance to exercise.

Young teams have to face such troubles. They want to be comprehensive, but also want to give the greatest guarantee to allow players to grow. This is self-contradictory, so rich clubs will definitely buy mature stars. The rest only needs to arrange troops according to the technical and tactical thinking.

Since the status quo cannot be changed for the time being, Situ Yunbing is too lazy to bother others.

In the 11th round of the league, Hamburg played at home against Hoffenheim. The latter ranked in the top half of the league standings and performed well in the new season. The most important thing is that Hoffenheim mainly focuses on offensive football. The striker combination except for Mla Par's strength is weaker, and the other two forwards Demba Ba and Obasi are both very strong.

Paired with powerful players such as offensive full-back Baker and defensive midfielder Gustavo, this team, which was only promoted to the Bundesliga the previous season, has become the favorite team in the Bundesliga to disrupt the championship.

Back then they almost recreated the myth of Kaiserslautern as newly promoted horses. At least people thought so when they won the half-time championship. Unfortunately, Ibisevic, the main center at the time, was seriously injured and the team ended up in the second half of the season. Cheng Gong fell short and failed to create a miracle, but for the newly promoted team, their growth and progress in the past two years can be regarded as the most amazing among the Bundesliga teams.

Hamburg and Hoffenheim played a typical battle at the People's Park Stadium!

The rhythm of the game is almost shattered, and the offensive and defensive confrontation of the audience is dizzying. The fast break rhythm that seems to suffocate the audience is comparable to the devastating visual impact of the Premier League.

In this game situation, Hamburg's speed advantage is still the key to victory, and De Bruyne's performance is more useful. In the end, Hamburg won Hoffenheim 4:2 at home!
In Situ Yunbing's eyes, this kind of competition can only exercise the skills that Hamburg has already mastered, and improve on the already good foundation. After a season, it is impossible to have new experience in every game, and more is to polish and improve the original skills already mastered.

Dortmund won Hannover 4 0:96 in the away game. Klopp's team is obviously better than Hamburg in controlling the game and defending and restricting opponents!

At the end of the 11th round of the league, Hamburg's top position was handed over to Dortmund, who achieved a go-ahead by virtue of their goal difference advantage.

Dortmund, 28 points.

Burger, 28 points.

Mainz, 24 points.

Leverkusen, 21 points.

The German media has already focused on Dortmund and Hamburg for the championship this season. At least the two teams have a 13-point lead over the defending champion Bayern Munich.

Perhaps one of Hamburg and Dortmund will lose the chain, but the probability of both teams falling does not seem to be high.

During the preparation training after the 11th round of the league, all the Hamburg generals became more serious, as if they had no distractions, and they didn't have the time to chat and joke. Situ Yunbing himself didn't have much sense of urgency, but he knew that these players The change in attitude stems from the fact that the German media has been building momentum for the weekend league since Monday!

Bundesliga matchup!

Dortmund VS Hamburg!

Because it was a match in the first half of the league, Situ Yunbing still treated this game with a normal mind, and it was not yet the season for picking fruits, so he continued to irrigate and cultivate patiently.

At the press conference before the weekend battle, Situ Yunbing expressed respect for Klopp.

"Jurgen led Dortmund to a yellow storm in the Bundesliga.

Many people know that when I took office as the head coach of Hamburg, I made an effort to bring Hamburg a championship. If I say that Hamburg does not have illusions about the championship this season, many people will say that I am hypocritical.

So I will be honest, we will fight for the championship.

Among the opponents in the championship, Bayern Munich has fallen behind. Mainz has performed well this season, but they cannot become the final winner.

In my opinion, Hamburg's championship opponent this season, and even Dortmund for at least two seasons in the future, will be the strongest competitor!
Borussia Dortmund has a coach with a distinctive and strong personality, as well as an extraordinary lineup. I'm not saying that Hamburg is worse than them, but tomorrow's game will be a young contest, and it will also be the pinnacle of the Bundesliga. Maybe many people don't agree with this A little bit, because both teams are relatively young, but I can only say that if we meet again in the second half of the league, Hamburg and Dortmund will definitely reach another level in strength!
But then again, I don't want to put pressure on the team. Hamburg should maintain a calm mind and face the game excitedly, but keep a calm mind. The performance and gains of the game at this stage will be more important than the result of the game! "

Klopp also paid tribute to Situ Yunbing before the game.

"Hamburg has a coach with an outstanding image and temperament. I am happy for Hamburg. They have found the coach they want."

When Klopp finished speaking, the German reporters at the scene smiled knowingly.

Two and a half years ago, when Klopp led Mainz to the fourth division in the Bundesliga Bundesliga and failed by 2 points, he chose to resign.

Later, both Bayern Munich and Hamburg invited him to coach. As a result, Bayern Munich finally chose Klinsmann, but when Klopp went to meet with Hamburg's high-level executives, he found that he was released. He stopped negotiations with him and gave up Klopp on the grounds that his slovenly image was not worthy of the club.

In the past two years, Hamburg was still a team that could reach the Champions League. Of course, the requirements are relatively high. It is not difficult to understand that they dislike Klopp.

But looking at it now, at least at the time, Hamburg would definitely regret this decision afterwards.

Klopp didn't go to Bayern Munich, he didn't go to Hamburg, he ended up going to Dortmund.

Although what he said today was regarded as a compliment to Situ Yunbing, it must also be a mockery of the higher-ups in Hamburg.

"I am sometimes curious about the Hamburg coach. He has an enviable success history. In my opinion, he is the same as Guardiola, and even his achievements are more difficult than Guardiola, but why did he go to Hamburg? ?No one knows the real reason, the reality is that he rebuilt Hamburg into a very strong team, and some players we had never heard of before became stars in Hamburg, which is simply unbelievable.

Ferguson spent at least three years training Ronaldo. Although it cannot be said that Hamburg's star has reached another level beyond the level of first-class players, but look at the changes that Situ Yunbing brought to the team during his two years in Monaco. I am amazed that his players can always make rapid progress. Ancelotti once said that he is very interested in the Monaco training camp. Now I am also very interested, because I also hope to make young players grow rapidly like Situ Yunbing stand up.

Playing against a coach who won the UEFA Champions League not long ago will definitely bring me pressure, but I will take it as a challenge. At the same time, Dortmund will face Hamburg. I think it will be an exciting game. The collision between the two teams that are currently more successful in the Chinese team, the sparks generated by the collision are the most shining light in the Bundesliga. "

The two coaches seem to have some sympathy for each other before the game. Heroes cherish heroes. There are many such stories on the green field. There is not only hatred between competitors. In fact, Situ Yunbing seems to have no enemies so far. Perhaps his biggest enemy is actually He himself, the challenges given to him by the game are always testing his limits, making him constantly improve, constantly improve, and constantly break through his own pattern and ability limit!
