Two Hundred and Seventy-Eight Is Getting Better
Cottbus wanted to play Hamburg as a youth team, but found that there were a group of big brothers behind these boys!
In the early second year of Monaco, Situ Yunbing's lineup was a strong third-line to drive De Gea's growth. In the early days of Hamburg, the starting point of the team's reconstruction was lower, but now it is a strong defense in the backcourt. The young attacking group in the midfield and frontcourt creates room for growth and fault tolerance.
They have room to make mistakes, to make mistakes, to hone and grow, and the backcourt defense led by Boateng and Mattison will be under more pressure, but they can still bear it.
Situ Yunbing takes the friendly match seriously beyond imagination. When Aubameyang, who has scored a goal, relaxes, Situ Yunbing will roar at him unceremoniously on the sidelines!
Cottbus paid more attention to and invested in the game, which made the game more intense. When De Bruyne was a little neglected in the midfield, Situ Yunbing would also warn him and instruct him to actively participate in the defense.
In the first half, Hamburg led Cottbus 1-0. Situ Yunbing did not make any adjustments at halftime. Now starting from zero, the team needs to run in bit by bit. There is really not much for Situ Yunbing. Space for frequent tactical changes.
In the second half of the game, the Hamburg team performed significantly better than the first half, probably because the team adapted to the rhythm, and the running-in gradually showed a positive chemical reaction.
Although Kanter is a little out of the team, his active running has gradually made a difference.
In the 57th minute of the game, Reus responded to Aubameyang's pass from the middle on the left. When he touched the ball, he cut inward and accelerated into the left rib area of the penalty area. Facing the defender who was blocked by the attacking goalkeeper, He knocked the ball diagonally back to the right area in front of the penalty area. Elijah took a shot here. It was a bit of a miss, but luckily, the ball hit the Cottbus defender, refracted and bounced into the goal. .
After he scored this goal, Situ Yunbing made a substitution.
There is no limit on the number of substitutions in the friendly match, and Situ Yunbing replaced almost the entire team.
Griezmann, Sun Xingmin and Wu Lei replaced the three strikers.
Rincon replaced Matuidi, Rodriguez, Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, and Westerman replaced the entire line of defense.
Except for goalkeeper Navas, Kante, and De Bruyne, all other positions have been replaced.
Cottbus also began to make substitutions. After all, it was a friendly match. The main goal of the team was to examine the status of the players. Unlike Hamburg, it was more about training and running in.
After the substitutions, the performance of both teams declined.
The scene is messy!
However, in the chaotic battle, the attacking speed of the Hamburg team's striker did not decline, on the contrary, it maintained a relatively high dashing speed.
It's just that now the team is more inclined to play Sun Xingmin's side on the right, and Wu Lei's side gave up because he made two mistakes and had no effect.
Son Heung-min obviously feels better on the pitch, having spent the past two years growing up in the German youth football system.
De Bruyne kept sending cannonballs to the striker. Griezmann played the center forward at any time and turned offside at any time, but he had a lot of calls with De Bruyne. In terms of his sense of anti-offside and grasping opportunities at any time, Griezmann was better than him. Aubameyang is better, although the limit speed may be faster.
Cottbus probably didn't expect that they would be tortured by Hamburg's fast striker today. A single-handed shot that would make the opponent anti-offside if they were not careful, so their defense line began to shrink and retreat.
At this time, the threat of the winger's inward cutting began to strengthen. In the 77th minute of the game, Sun Xingmin responded to Azpilicueta's pass from the right and turned to dunk the opponent's inward cut. It's not that the quality is particularly high, but it just rolled into the goal.
Hamburg led Cottbus 3-0 at home.
In the last 15 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing ordered the team's fullbacks to strengthen their offense, and at the same time gave Kante a new task to help defend the wing at any time!
In the process of helping Kante grow up, the defensive line cannot be made completely safe. On the one hand, the sign of a more mature team's offense is that the full-back must be involved in the attack of the striker. On the other hand, only when Kante is made aware of his role, he can grow better.
In the last 10 minutes, Hamburg was almost on the court for half-court offensive and defensive drills. Rodriguez and Azpilicueta had no problem going straight up and down the wing due to their abundant physical strength. In addition, Kante's speed in interceptions showed. Come out, even if he can't steal the ball immediately when the opponent counterattacks, he can always entangle and delay the opponent in place, so that the opponent can't continue to push the offensive forward, and when Hamburg's teammates come to assist Kante, he can easily Kill Cottbus' counterattack.
Wu Lei had a shot blocked by the Cottbus goalkeeper before the end of the game, and then Griezmann shot the ball into the goal from the penalty area!
The Hamburg fans cheered and cheered in the stands, excited and satisfied with the vibrant team, at least the players looked characteristic, at least not mediocre.
In the first friendly match, Hamburg beat Cottbus 4-0.
Situ Yunbing is quite satisfied with the performance of the defensive line, and the team's running-in and the growth of the players have a long way to go.
After the game, he carefully summed up the game with the players and reminded the players of the areas that need to be improved in the game. The players realized that Situ Yunbing did not simply warm up the team, but actually regarded the game as if they were playing before the new season. The most important stage for growth.
These players who come to Hamburg also have ideals and aspirations. For example, Matuidi had the opportunity to go to a team qualified for the Champions League in Ligue 1, but he still chose Hamburg. Because of the call of Situ Yunbing, in the past For two years in Ligue 1, he witnessed Situ Yunbing lead Monaco to conquer the country, and now he wants to participate in the great plan to revive Hamburg.
De Bruyne, Azpilicueta, Reus, Griezmann, etc. If it wasn't for Situ Yunbing coaching Hamburg, these young players might not be interested in Hamburg at all and stay in the original team can develop better.
Just because Situ Yunbing is famous, especially in the past two years in Ligue 1, he has built a good reputation for himself and is good at training young players!
The young players who made their name in Monaco are who they want to be!
On average, there is a warm-up game every three days. Situ Yunbing is in rotation. Basically, the player who starts the first game will become a substitute in the next game, and then come on the bench in about 60 minutes and play for about 30 minutes. The players he needs to use play more evenly during warm-ups.
Warm-up game after game, every home game of the Hamburg team will be full!
The fans did what Situ Yunbing begged for the support of the team.
And Situ Yunbing is also fulfilling his promise with his serious work every day.
Let the team gradually become stronger!
When Hamburg played their last warm-up match against Bochum in early August, the team was already getting better!
At least the team's technical and tactical system framework has taken shape.
The commander of the midfield is De Bruyne. The attack relies on three forwards to quickly attack, and the defensive end has four backs with double midfielders. Situ Yunbing asked to defend from the front line!
In the last warm-up match, Hamburg faced a low-level team Bochum almost crazy!
Although Bochum is a second-tier team, it is one of the favorite teams to be promoted next season, and its strength is close to the relegation team of the Bundesliga.
And they were unable to withstand the repeated attacks of the Hamburg striker like a tide. The Hamburg team completed a 6-0 rout at home!
So far, Hamburg's pre-season warm-up matches have all ended, and they have won all 7 games!
34 goals scored, 4 goals conceded.
But the German media are questioning the quality of the Hamburg warm-up.
On August 14th, before the start of the new Bundesliga season, the German Cup first kicked off, and Hamburg will be a guest against the lower league team Greve.
At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing was able to answer reporters' questions in simple German.
When asked by reporters that Hamburg chose weak opponents in the warm-up match and could not really test the team's strength, Situ Yunbing replied lightly: "Our goal in the warm-up match is to break in the team and start the new season. Before, all the work was preparation, and it would be unfair to be tested if we were not ready, so there is no need to talk about the quality of Hamburg now, I also experienced doubts in the early days of Monaco, and my answer is a general test It takes three months for a coach to coach. I don’t have high requirements. Give me at least one month. That is to say, at the end of September after the start of the new season, you can comment on my coaching level and the combat effectiveness of the Hamburg team. "
The reporter of "Kicker" then asked: "Hamburg played 7 games in the pre-season warm-up match, don't you think the game volume is a bit big? The new season has not yet started, it is not good to get tired of the players."
Situ Yunbing smiled, shook his head and said, "Although we played 7 games, the average player only played less than 400 minutes, which means they actually played about 4 games. ."
The last question comes from a reporter from the Hamburg Evening Zeitung.
"At present, we still can't see the main lineup of Hamburg's new season, only about half of the players are fixed main force, Navas, Boateng, Mattison, Demer, De Bruyne, Matuidi, other positions include The three players in the front line, what is the main framework of Hamburg?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and nodded: "This question is very good, some of the players you mentioned are indeed the main force that we can't beat, but I really haven't settled down as the main force in some positions, let's take the striker as an example, we have There are 6 strikers, 4-5 of them are very close in strength, and some of them can play center and wing, I can't eccentrically fix who is the main force, I need them to use practical actions to win the starting qualification."
The disadvantage of an unfixed lineup is that the tacit understanding of the main lineup will be affected, and the advantage is to promote healthy competition within the team.
In fact, he already has a fixed candidate for the striker in his heart.
Reus and Griezmann are regular starters, and there is another position they need to compete for.
