301 Bundesliga peak matchup!
On the last day of October, Situ Yunbing led a team to visit Cologne.
In the tenth round of the league, Hamburg finally ushered in a defeat after being unbeaten in nine rounds in the new season.
Cologne, wandering outside the relegation zone, defended Hamburg's defense at home. They made the defensive work to the extreme, focusing on curbing Royce and De Braun's play, spatially limiting Hamburg's speed advantage, and marking the defensive team. Of creativity.
Hamburg couldn't attack for a long time. Instead, he was successfully attacked by Cologne. Podolsky saw the blood seal his throat.
After the match defeated by Cologne, Situ Yunbing did not over-interpret this defeat. Sometimes the wins and losses are normal. The 8 wins and 1 draw in the new season of Hamburg are already beyond expectations. At this time, the season has entered the midterms, many The team will become pragmatic, and the preparation is more targeted. It must be admitted that Cologne has performed well at home, even if they don't have many opportunities in the whole game.
But this also reflects the lack of technical and tactical abilities that Hamburg in turn needs to attack tough battles.
In the same round, Dortmund easily won Mainz at 2:0 away. At this time, it can be seen that the real gap between Mainz and the championship team.
After 10 rounds, Hamburg and Dortmund are in the same standings.
Hamburg, 25 points.
Dortmund, 25 points.
Mainz, 24 points.
...
The match lost to Cologne made Situ Yunbing realize that according to Hamburg's current staffing, it is not enough to have only one De Blaunet in the midfield.
Perhaps in 80% of the games, De Blaunet can bring the offensive creativity required by the Hamburg striker, but to compete for the championship, to enter the real top ranks, a De Blaunet is still slightly insufficient.
Kanter can only make contributions on the defensive end at this stage. This is already the case where he has made rapid progress. Demel has already been shaped. The defense is better and the offense cannot be expected. Although Rincon is malleable, he is not attacking. Oriented midfielder or organizational midfielder.
According to the current staff reserve in the team, it is completely impossible to increase creativity in the midfield.
What’s more embarrassing now is that even if there is a midfielder who can also bring creativity to the team around De Blaunet, Situ Yunbing can’t use it!
The existence of Demer is to give Kanter a better environment for growth. If he only plays Kanter as a defensive midfielder, I am afraid that Kanter needs to grow a little bit to reassure Situ Yunbing, and if he only plays Demer, Situ Yun Bing was relieved, but Kanter had no chance to exercise.
The young team is faced with such troubles, both wanting to be all-round and wanting to give the greatest guarantee to let the players grow, this is in itself contradictory, so the rich clubs will definitely buy mature players, The rest just need to line up according to the technical and tactical ideas.
Since the status quo could not be changed for the time being, Situ Yunbing was too lazy to bother himself.
In the eleventh round of the league, Hamburg sat 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 is mainly offensive football, except for the front line. Par is weaker, and the other two forwards Denpabar and Obsi are very strong.
Coupled with powerful players such as offensive linebacker Baker and defensive midfielder Gustavo, this team that has only been promoted to the Bundesliga the previous season has become the most favorite team in the Bundesliga.
At that time, they almost engraved the Kaiserslautern myth as the newly promoted. At least they won the half-time championship. People thought so. Unfortunately, the main center at the time, the scoring Ibizevich was seriously injured and the team ended the second half of the season. Cheng Gong failed to create a miracle, but for the newly promoted team, their growth and progress in the past two years is regarded as the most amazing in the Bundesliga team.
Hamburg and Hoffenheim played a typical offensive battle at the People's Park stadium!
The rhythm of the game was almost broken, and the entire offensive and defensive confrontation was dizzying. It seemed that the fast attack rhythm that choked the audience was comparable to the visual impact of the Premier League.
In this game situation, Hamburg's speed advantage is still the key to winning. De Braun's play is also more useful. In the end, Hamburg won Hoffenheim at 4:2 at home!
In the eyes of Situ Yunbing, this kind of game can only exercise the skills that Hamburg has mastered, and improve on the basis of the original good. After a season, it is impossible for each game to have new experience. More is still to improve the original. Skills already acquired.
Dortmund won Hanover 96 at 4:0 away, and Klopp's team has obviously done better than Hamburg in controlling the game and defensively restricting opponents!
At the end of the league's 11th round, Hamburg's top position was given to Dortmund, who achieved a lead with a goal difference.
Dortmund, 28 points.
Hamburg, 28 points.
Mainz, 24 points.
Leverkusen, 21 points.
...
The German media has put the focus of this season's championship on Dortmund and Hamburg. At least two teams have a 13-point advantage over defending champion Bayern Munich. It is considered that it is difficult for the two teams to fall behind and be overtaken by Bayern Munich in the second half of the season.
Maybe Hamburg and Dortmund have a team that will fall off the chain, but the probability of both teams falling is not high.
In the preparation training after the end of the 11th round of the league, the Hamburgers will all become more serious, as if they have no intentions, and they have no leisurely time to talk and play, Situ Yunbing himself does not have too much urgency, but he knows these players. The change in attitude stems from the German media's continuous efforts to build momentum for the weekend league from Monday!
Bundesliga peak matchup!
Dortmund VS Hamburg!
Because it was a clash in the first half of the league, Situ Yunbing still treated this game with a normal heart. Before the season of fruit picking, he still cultivated with patience.
At the press conference before the weekend war, Situ Yunbing paid respect to Klopp.
"Juergen led Dortmund to set off a yellow storm in the Bundesliga.
Many people know that when I took the helm of Hamburg, I made a goal to bring a championship to Hamburg. If I say that Hamburg will not have any illusions about the championship this season, many people will call me hypocritical.
So I will be frank, we will fight for the championship.
Among the opponents who are competing for the championship, now that Bayern Munich has fallen behind, Mainz has performed well this season, but they cannot be the final winners.
In my opinion, Hamburg's rivals this season, and even at least two seasons in the future, Dortmund is the most powerful competitor!
Dortmund has a strong personality and a strong coach, and also has an extraordinary lineup. I am not saying that Hamburg is worse than them, but tomorrow's game will be a young contest, and it is also the pinnacle of the Bundesliga. Perhaps many people do not agree with this. One point, because both teams are younger, but I can only say that if we meet again in the second half of the league, Hamburg and Dortmund will definitely take another step in strength!
But then again, I don’t want to put pressure on the team. Hamburg should maintain a normal heart and face the game with excitement, but always have a calm mind. The performance and gains of the game at this stage will make the game more important!"
Klopp also paid tribute to Situ Yunbing before the game.
"Hamburg has a coach with a good image. I am happy for Hamburg. They have found the coach they want."
At the end of Klopp's words, the German journalists on the scene smiled.
Two and a half years ago, when Klopp led Mainz to fail in the fourth division with only two points in the second division, he chose to resign.
Subsequently, Bayern Munich and Hamburg sent him an invitation to coach. As a result, Bayern Munich finally chose Klinsmann. When Klopp went to meet with the Hamburg seniors, he found that he was put in pigeons. The reason for halting negotiations with him was to abandon Klopp because his sloppy image was not worthy of the club.
In the first two years, Hamburg can still reach the Champions League team, of course, the requirements are relatively high, and it is not difficult to understand Klop.
But looking at it now, at least at that time, this decision Hamburg will definitely regret it afterwards.
Klopp did not go to Bayern Munich, nor did he go to Hamburg, and eventually to Dortmund.
Today he said these words, although it is a compliment to Situ Yunbing, but there must be some sarcasm for the senior Hamburg.
"I am sometimes curious about the Hamburg coach. He has an enviable success story. In my opinion, he is the same as Guardiola. Even he achieves 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. Some players that we have never heard of before quickly became star players in Hamburg. This is simply incredible.
It took Ferguson at least three years to train C Ronaldo. Although it is impossible to say that the Hamburg star has reached another level beyond the first-class player level, look at the changes that Stuart Yunbing’s two years in Monaco brought to the team. It will be amazed that his players are always able to fly in general progress. Ancelotti once said that he is very interested in Monaco's training camp, and now I am equally interested because I also hope that like Stuart Yunbing will make young players grow quickly stand up.
Playing against a coach who won the Champions League not long ago will definitely bring pressure, but I will see it as a challenge. At the same time, Dortmund will face Hamburg, I think it will be an exciting game, this is the Bundesliga young The collision between the two successful teams in the current team, the spark generated by the collision is the most shining light of the Bundesliga."
The two coaches seem to be somewhat sympathetic before the game. Heroes cherish heroes. There are many 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 For himself, the challenge that the game gives him is always testing his limits, making him constantly improve, continuously improve, and constantly break through his own pattern and ability limit!
