311 The Last Piece of the Puzzle

In the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg played against Bayer Leverkusen at home.

Before the game, the coaches of the two teams expressed respect to each other, and Heynckes, an old Jianghu, really made Situ Yunbing respect him.

Among the current coaches in the Bundesliga, only three have won the Champions League, Van Gaal, Situ Yunbing, and Heynckes!

So the confrontation between the two Champions League champion coaches is naturally eye-catching, and Leverkusen is indeed ranked very close to the top three.

In 2008, Klinsmann left Bayern Munich sadly. Heynckes served as Bayern Munich's firefighting coach for a while. A contract, did not expect Bayern Munich invited Van Gaal.

Heynckes could have returned to retirement, but maybe he picked up the coach again to ignite the passion for football, so he went to Leverkusen and finished fourth in the league last season, which is better than the season before he took office. Couson's ranking improved by 5 places!

It's a pity that Leverkusen can't escape the shackles of most clubs in Germany.

It can only fend for itself, and cannot rely on external forces to quickly become stronger.

Although Leverkusen also has good signings in the new season, the return of Kroos, who had already served as the core midfielder in the team last season, to Bayern Munich caused the team's midfield strength to decline significantly.

Otherwise, Leverkusen definitely has the capital to compete for the championship this season, and even now it seems that they have not completely lost hope of competing for the championship.

People's Park Stadium, the hustle and bustle.

Situ Yunbing, who was standing on the sidelines in a windbreaker and directing the game, still maintained a serious attitude of concentration. Heynckes coached the team with distinctive characteristics, simple, capable and pragmatic style, without those fancy tactical designs, which was reflected in the team's offense and defense on the court They are all crisp and neat, never sloppy.

He can maximize the potential of Leverkusen, but because of the upper limit of the strength of Leverkusen's lineup, Leverkusen is now very strong in the Bundesliga, but it may not be able to maintain it forever.

After all, Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg are on the rise, and once Bayern Munich solves their internal problems, they will return as kings!

De Bruyne's performance today is not ideal. After Leverkusen's tough style has launched a targeted defensive blockade against him, De Bruyne's room to play is very limited.

Vidal and Rolfes did a good job of containing him, and Leverkusen still has a talented attacking group.

Barnetta, Augusto, Sam, Deldiyok, plus Vidal behind them, Cadlec and Castro on the back line.

You can hardly find out where Leverkusen's configuration is unreasonable!

Heynckes uses the most suitable players for each position, which in itself is the principle that should be followed in tactical formation. The old Jianghu will not make low-level mistakes, and will not seek to innovate and play tricks and mess up!

Hamburg can almost only rely on the wing to launch a threatening offensive. De Bruyne is no longer invisible, but the threat of attacking forward is greatly weakened, or most of the time he will make a mistake and be intercepted.

Compared with Dortmund's Shaheen and Bender's midfielder combination, Leverkusen's Bidalgarolfess combination is obviously tougher and tougher. This is the biggest reason why De Bruyne was contained. Verkusen itself does not procrastinate in offense, and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is very good.

This open and close game seemed to have an effect of you coming and me scoring goals!

The visual effects are a blast!

Sam, Barnetta and Vidal are the best players in Leverkusen's team. Hamburg is almost relying on Griezmann and Reus, the striker duo, to carry the team!

After 90 minutes of the game, the number on the scoreboard is 3:3.

Neither of the two teams could win this victory, and they shook hands to make a draw, but both sides suffered losses.

After Situ Yunbing shook hands with Heynckes, he turned and walked into the player tunnel with only one thought circling in his mind.

The same problem occurs again, this problem has to be fixed!

The midfielder must add another creative organizational player to share De Bruyne's pressure, otherwise Hamburg's upper limit will be close to the championship in the Bundesliga, but it will not be able to reach the championship level!

If they are unable to distance themselves from the teams competing for the championship and are obviously stronger than them, then Hamburg’s obvious disadvantage in experience will make it difficult for them to place high hopes at critical moments, and talk about willpower, fighting spirit, determination, and courage It doesn't make much sense, because no other championship team will be less aggressive than Hamburg!

After the game, Situ Yunbing still said in an interview: "Today's game was very exciting. The result is not the most important thing. We have gained a valuable draw."

Heynckes praised Hamburg. He came with the determination to win, but failed to win Hamburg!

Compared with Dortmund's offensive creation talent, Leverkusen's strength lies in its tough style, but the former will guarantee the offensive efficiency, which will affect the goals, and then affect the outcome, while the latter is more of a lift. It raised the bottom line of the team, but it may not necessarily increase the upper limit.

In the same round, Dortmund won Werder Bremen 2:0 at home!

After this round of the league, Dortmund's strong state has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Even "Kicker" couldn't help exclaiming: Dortmund will lock the league championship!

They have already won the half-time championship of the league, and they are 7 points behind the second-placed Hamburg in the standings!

7 points can mean a gap of 3 wins. It feels like the Bundesliga has not finished the first half of the game. It is true, but if you count carefully, there are only 18 rounds left in the Bundesliga!

Dortmund, 43 points.

Burger, 36 points.

Leverkusen, 30 points.

Mainz, 30 points.

 …

Situ Yunbing has never told others about his idea of ​​adjusting the team lineup. In fact, it is just a minor operation. It only needs to introduce a suitable midfielder and replace a main midfielder.

Since his defeat at the Westfield Stadium, he has always paid attention to the trends of players in European football who meet his signing standards, but the success rate of signings during the winter transfer period has never been high, and suitable players may not be willing to come to Hamburg. If they are willing to come, the team may not be willing to let them go.

His requirements must be high. This is already in the middle of the season, not before the season. The standard for signings at this time must be able to fight, and the strength can convince the crowd, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction in the locker room!

When the first half of the season was coming to an end, Situ Yunbing felt a certain amount of anxiety in his heart.

It would be a lie to say that Hamburg trailing Dortmund by seven points wasn't enough to worry him, but he can only absorb the negativity, not show it.

In the final half of the league, Hamburg challenged Borussia Mönchengladbach as a guest.

Before the game, Situ Yunbing gave the team a death order, and the game must be won!

In case of losing another point in this game, Hamburg may fall behind Dortmund by 9 or 10 points!

Such a gap may cause even if Situ Yunbing can sign in during the winter break to improve the team's strength, the pressure to catch up with Dortmund in the second half of the season may last for a long time. Live, then everything is perfect!

This is the first time that Situ Yunbing has issued such a clear record order to the team since he coached Hamburg.

Borussia Mönchengladbach is strictly defending at home. As the bottom team in the league, they can only hope for 1 point against Hamburg.

But Hamburg doesn't want to give them this 1 point!

When Hamburg was unable to attack for a long time, captain Boateng stepped forward and scored the first goal for Hamburg with a header in a corner kick attack!

After scoring the goal, the game was much easier. Hamburg finally defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3:0 in the away game and scored all 3 points!

What excites the Hamburgers is that Dortmund lost this round!

Perhaps because of the huge lead and the same young team, Dortmund relaxed their vigilance. They were defeated by Frankfurt 1:0 in the away game!

The team should have celebrated the half-time championship, but Klopp was furious after the game. He believed that the team made a huge mistake in the attitude of the game!

The Bundesliga is half over, and Dortmund's defeat keeps the suspense of the championship within a reasonable range.

Dortmund, 43 points.

Burger, 39 points.

Leverkusen, 31 points.

Mainz, 30 points.

Bayern Munich, 28 points.

 …

The league is halfway through, but before the holidays, Hamburg still has a German Cup game to play.

In the 1/8 finals, Hamburg was a guest to challenge the second division team Aachen.

This was not a very stressful game. Situ Yunbing carried out the rotation as usual, but the team's performance disappointed him and the fans. For the first time, he was furious in the locker room after the game, reprimanding those young players for not showing enough. Fighting spirit and courage, Hamburg lost 1:2 in the away game!

The elimination from the German Cup was not enough to make Situ Yunbing angry, but the fact that the players in the rotation did not pay enough attention to the game and cherish the opportunity made him angry.

He even yelled at the players in the locker room: "If you think that this kind of game and this kind of opponent is irrelevant, and you can be indifferent, then what qualifications do you have to ask for better opportunities and more playing time? Many of you People haven't really understood that the main force of the team is unshakable, but the substitutes can leave at any time!"

His rage seemed to shake the locker room.

Young players will definitely make mistakes of one kind or another. Situ Yunbing's standards and principles have never changed. Technical mistakes can be tolerated, and attitude problems are never allowed!

Some German media exposed the news that Situ Yunbing was furious after being eliminated from the German Cup in Hamburg. According to some German commentators, the 4 points behind Dortmund in the league have already made Situ Yunbing take off his magical coat. And his anger at young players also showed signs of his personal inability to handle the pressure.

Maybe the goal is too high, maybe he is not used to the team being eliminated in the cup, at least in the past two years of his coaching career, he has not been eliminated in the cup.

The team went into the holidays.

On the afternoon of the holiday, Alonzo went to the Sofitel Alte Wall Hotel.

He saw Situ Yunbing bring out a suitcase from the bedroom, and there were air tickets and passports on the coffee table. He asked curiously, "Where are you going? I'm here to invite you to Nice to spend Christmas together." .”

Situ Yunbing changed into a casual warm coat, and while putting on his shoes, he said to Alonzo, "I'm going to the airport in a hurry, thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to the United States this Christmas."

Alonzo looked surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Because Sigrid is going to a Christmas event in America, I thought I should go with her."

"But the destination on your ticket is to Switzerland."

Situ Yunbing tidied up and raised his wrist to look at his watch. It seemed that the time was a little tight. He picked up the air ticket and passport on the table, pulled up the suitcase and walked out.

Alonzo followed closely, and it seemed that he was going back to Nice alone for the holidays with his family.

After entering the elevator, Situ Yunbing said to him: "Going to Switzerland is a business matter, and we have an important signing in winter."

"who?"

"The final piece of the championship puzzle."
