"In the 65th minute, Hamburg took the lead in making the first substitution adjustment of the game."

"Pan Yi replaced No. 15 Salah with No. 7 Wu Lei."

"This substitution is a bit surprising. Because Wu Lei plays more as a left winger this season, he often replaces Son Heung-min when he comes on the court."

"And we saw that this time Wu Lei still stood on the right wing after replacing him. This can be regarded as a matchup substitution."

"Replacing a right-footed player with a left-footed player, is Pan Yi going to play as a winger to pass the ball? This is the style of play he often used last season."

"Manchester City has always had the advantage so far in the game. Does Pan Yi want to use this substitution to reverse the situation?"



When Wu Lei came on the field, Pan Yi had already given him instructions:

"Now their left-back Kolarov is a bit sluggish. When you go up, use your speed to rush him! Then resolutely pass the ball forward and sweep it in front of the goal. You can also sweep it backwards in an inverted triangle!"

Salah's condition was not very good today, and he felt completely controlled by Kolarov.

After replacing Wu Lei, since the two forwards have different playing habits and different preferred feet, it will definitely make the opponent uncomfortable.

While Wu Lei has more energy, Kolarov can no longer run due to his desperate running on both offense and defense.

After this back and forth, Hamburg's right-side attack can definitely become active again.

In addition, Pan Yi's "Sweep in front of the goal" ultimate move is also due to the fact that the opponent's center backs Kompany and Demichelis are still very good in frontal defense and defensive back ball. At this time, change the style of play. It is also a necessary change.

This doesn't even need to be explained by Pan Yi to the players on the field.

Hamburg has practiced various combinations of players at the winger position in training. Whether it is double inversion, double forward, left and right, left and right, everyone knows how to play and how to match it. Cooperate.

And Pan Yi's substitution is obviously a kind of "breaking a cup as a sign."

Everyone knows that the counterattack is about to begin!

The Manchester City players on the field immediately felt the obvious difference.

Hamburg no longer retreats to defend!

They showed aggressiveness and began to gradually press up the defense line, and also began to press and press Manchester City with high intensity.

Hamburg seemed to have changed teams all of a sudden, and the team's offensive passion was instantly ignited!

This sudden wave of attack caught Manchester City a little unprepared.

After all, they had been playing with hamburgers, and the rhythm was controlled by themselves.

But when Hamburg suddenly increased its speed, Manchester City couldn't adapt to it, and they played in a awkward manner, and the scene suddenly fell into a passive position.

Just three minutes after the substitution, after cooperating with right back Carvajal, Wu Lei suddenly accelerated to get rid of Kolarov's defense, directly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and swept the ball in front of the goal.

Vardy reached the ball and fired a light back-heel shot, but it missed the far post.

Although he didn't score, it still shocked everyone in Manchester City into a cold sweat.

This is Hamburg's most threatening shot since the start!

And only 3 minutes later, the burger made a comeback.

This time, Son Heung-min from the left took a step towards the penalty area line and then kicked a curve ball directly. The ball was saved by Joe Hart and then went out of the baseline.

After De Bruyne took a corner kick, Rudiger headed the goal, but it missed the crossbar and flew out.

There was a tremor in front of the Manchester City gate.



Ever since Pan Yi made substitutions and Hamburg began a massive counterattack, Pellegrini's face has never looked good.

The Chilean engineer was pacing the sidelines with his hands behind his back, and he was also thinking about substitutions.

What he feared was finally happening.

Manchester City has never been able to score a second goal, and Hamburg's physical advantage is now starting to come into play!

Therefore, he also has to think about how to respond to Hamburg's sudden change of speed through adjustments, and how to ensure that the players on the field can maintain the intensity on both ends of the offense and defense.

But he actually didn't have any good choices.

The best players are on the field!

On the bench, there are substitute center Negredo, midfielder Milner, defenders Clichy and Lescott, etc., but they are not the kind of people who can immediately change the situation on the field after coming up.

Moreover, Hamburg's offense only took place in these few minutes.

Except for these few minutes, the performance of these Manchester City players on the field has always been good.

Especially on the left, the offense led by Kolarov and David Silva has been playing vigorously, and once dominated Hamburg's entire wing.

So Pellegrini still needs to think carefully.

If Kolarov is replaced with Clichy, will it have a negative effect?

After all, if Hamburg cannot be suppressed on the left, then they will have to press over, which will make it harder to play.

But now Manchester City's players are indeed a little unable to move, especially Kolarov, who looked a little embarrassed when Wu Lei broke through just now...

What should we do?

How to do it?

Just as Pellegrini was hesitating, an exclamation suddenly erupted from the Etihad Stadium!

Pellegrini looked intently and saw Hamburg midfielders Kante and Casemiro grabbing the ball at the same time, snatching the ball from Fernandinho's feet, and then handed the ball to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne sent a through ball directly to the right rib.

Wu Lei rushed over like a bolt of lightning, used his speed to drive the ball to the baseline, and once again forced his way past Koladov's defense.

When he reached the bottom line on the right, Wu Lei looked up and found that Vardy's side was already heavily guarded by Manchester City troops, but there were more openings at the front of the penalty area.

This is also an important role for Vardy.

His smart movement often attracts a lot of defensive attention, which can clear up the entire area from the front edge of the penalty area to the penalty spot.

At this time, this area was being shrouded in a black shadow, and it was Kanter who covered a wide area!

Wu Lei no longer hesitated, buckled his ankle inward, and sent an inverted triangle diagonally behind him.

Kanter got the ball easily.

But he still looked ahead and wanted to give the ball to a teammate in a better position.

At this time, Pan Yi's shouting from the sidelines sounded in his ears: "Throw it! Give it to me!"

Like a conditioned reflex, Kanter stopped thinking when he heard Pan Yi's instructions.

He put his big foot up and took a powerful shot directly with his right foot.

Due to the full force exerted, when the instep of Kanter's right foot came into contact with the surface of the ball, the ball even showed an obvious deformation, and then the ball flew towards the goal with a "bang" like a shell being discharged.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart was already watching the opponent intently when Kante received the ball, but even so, he still did not expect the ball to be so fast.

When the ball was shot, Joe Hart's whole body bounced out like a spring and pounced on the ball.

Unfortunately, it's still a little late.

Just when his fingertips seemed to be touching the ball, the ball roared into the left goal, shaking the net behind Joe Hart.

Poor Joe Hart fell to the ground, staring straight at the ball rolling to the ground, and in his heart ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past:

"Wang Defa? Why another world wave?"

"Hey, a goal was scored just now, why did I say 'again'?"



"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 72nd minute, Hamburg successfully equalized the score!"

"Wu Lei, who had just come on as a substitute, sent a wonderful inverted triangle pass from the right, and Kante's shot from behind was very powerful and was very exciting."

"This is really a wonderful offensive cooperation, a beautiful world wave!"

"Ah, the real-time speed measurement just now showed that Kanter's shot just now reached a speed of 143 kilometers per hour... It's terrible! No wonder Joe Hart's movements were very relaxed, but he still couldn't catch the ball!"

"This is not the way Kante is good at shooting, but he did it in this game!"

"The score is now 1:1, and we still don't know who will win the game!"

After Pan Yi saw Kanter score on the sidelines, he almost rushed out of the command area with excitement. He raised his hands and cheered loudly.

"Good pass, Wu Lei! Nice shot, Kanter!" Pan Yi shouted.

He asked Kanter to shoot directly, of course because he saw that there were not many defensive players around Kanter at that time, and the teammates in front were all being watched closely.

If you hesitate any longer, the opportunity to shoot will be missed.

Bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused. Even someone as strong as Kanter can't see it as clearly as God's perspective, so Pan Yi yelled to remind him.

And there is another reason, because the person standing in front of Manchester City is...

Joe Hart.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the world of football:

If the sky is sentimental, the sky is also old, and it sees Hartmon kicking him.

Joe Hart has played the role of the world's most popular goalkeeper more than once. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the worst goalkeepers in football.

Shot one:

In the second round of the Manchester Derby in the 2010-2011 season, at the 78th minute of the game, Nani made a pass from the right. Rooney took advantage of the situation and flew into the air. The ball flew straight into the far corner of the goal with Joe Hart in front of the goal line. No reaction at all.

This magical stroke was later officially selected by the Premier League as the best goal in the Premier League in 20 years.

Shot two:

In a warm-up match at the end of 2012, Sweden defeated England 4:2 at home, and Ibrahimovic scored four goals in the game.

That game was a nightmare day for Shawcross who defended Ibrahimovic, and for Joe Hart, I believe he will also remember the incredible goal scored by Ibrahimovic for the rest of his life - Joe Hart rushed Coming out of the penalty area to make a clearance, the ball flew to Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic saw the trajectory of the ball and he made a volley without stopping the ball. The ball flew into the net from more than 30 yards away from the goal. With this goal, Ibrahimovic won the 2013 Puskas Award.

Shot three:

In the 2011-2012 season, during Stoke City's home game against Manchester City, Crouch scored an improvised kick against Joe Hart, and the tall striker said after the game that this was the best goal of his career. Best goal scored so far.

At that time, Crouch got the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. This was not a suitable angle for shooting, but he stopped the ball and directly raised his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into the dead center of the goal.

Shot four:

In March 2013, when Everton defeated Manchester City 2:0 at home, Everton midfielder Leon Osman scored a goal with a weird outswinging arc. This goal was comparable to the Brazilian left-back goal of the year. Defender Roberto Carlos' long shot that defied common sense of physics.

Hart, who was in front of the goal line, didn't react at all to Osman's sudden shot. He only looked back subconsciously after the ball flew into the net.

Shot five...

Forget it, there are too many, so I won’t take stock of tormenting poor Joe Hart.

This is only something that has happened at this point in time and is relatively famous.

Judging from Pan Yi’s impression of his previous life, Joe Hart will still have a lot of trouble in the world to come...

All in all, Joe Hart has a debuff that says "when you meet me, you have a higher probability of kicking out a world wave", so there is always no problem for Pan Yi to kick Kantermon.

And the facts also prove that these rumors and debuffs are true!

Kanter really kicked a world wave and helped Hamburg equalize the score!

After this goal, the Etihad Stadium fell into a brief silence.

Then, they let out deafening boos!

For Hamburg fans and Pan Yi, Kante's goal is a very beautiful world wave;

But for Manchester City fans, this is a disaster!

Because this is a precious away goal for Hamburg!

This also means that from this point on, Hamburg has taken the lead in the two rounds of knockout rounds!

Manchester City's top brass are eager to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, and so are Manchester City fans.

Now, Manchester City was unable to attack for a long time but was scored by Hamburg instead, and their dissatisfaction began to be vented.

But it's different here in Hamburg.

Especially Kanter, who played a world wave, he was very excited.

He specially ran to the visiting team's fan area to celebrate, and then ran to the visiting team's bench to high-five and hug head coach Pan Yi.

After running almost half of the field, he returned to his own half and prepared to kick off.

And Pan Yi immediately gave his instructions, which was to continue to press, continue to fast-paced, and continue to attack!

In the media box, the commentator was also full of praise for Pan Yi:

"Pan Yi's on-the-spot command is really breathtaking."

"This substitution had an immediate effect, and Hamburg's offense suddenly picked up. In just a few minutes, Wu Lei, who came on as a substitute, gave a wonderful assist."

"This is not the first time we have seen such a magical plot. Pan Yi has performed this kind of substitutions and adjustments many times last season and this season to turn the game around!"

"And this time Kanter's shot, judging from the slow motion, was also affected by Pan Yi's shouting from the sidelines."

"Does this young coach of the Dragon Kingdom really have some magic power that can inject strength into his players' success in the world? Haha, just kidding."

"But just from his quick goals after this substitution and adjustment, his coaching ability can be proved. His ability to understand the game and adjust is really second to none in the world today!"

"We can even say that he is already a world-class coach!"

"And Manchester City's Pellegrini is obviously a bit defeated. After all, a 1:1 score at home is not a good result for Manchester City. If you go to the People's Park Stadium with such a score, Manchester City will definitely not be able to get it. What good fruit to eat.”

"Hamburg has maintained a complete victory at home this season. It is a real devil's home court! Well, okay, they drew with AC Milan at home in the Champions League group stage, but that game...how to say, it doesn't really count."

"In short, Pellegrini should think of a solution now. There seems to be some problems with their players' physical fitness, and they are not running as actively as before. So what will the Chilean engineers choose? Should they stabilize the status quo or continue to run again? Attack a wave?..."

Also in the media box, the Sky Sports guest box was much quieter.

Gary Neville: "..."

Carragher: "???"

Gary Neville: "...!!"

Carragher: "Haha."

Gary Neville: "╮(╯▽╰)╭"

Carragher: "You'd better say something, otherwise the audience will think their TV is broken and there is no sound."

Gary Neville: "It was just an accident. The game is not over yet..."

Carragher: "The game is not over yet, so Hamburg still has a chance to overtake the score?"

Gary Neville: "That's enough! Let's continue watching the game quietly!..."



Five minutes later, Pellegrini had to replace Kolarov with Clichy to strengthen the team's defense on the left.

The burger attack is really fierce these days!

Especially on the side where Kovrov is guarding, Vardy, De Bruyne, Wu Lei, and Carvajal are attacking him in turns, simply trying to kill the Serbian.

He really can't run anymore!

Although the price of replacing him is that Manchester City's wing attack is weakened, Pellegrini can't care so much now.

If we lose the ball again, it will be really late!

The effect of this substitution is obviously good. After Clichy came on the field, it reduced the embarrassing situation of being bombarded on the left to a certain extent, and Manchester City's defense also became a little more stable.

So Pellegrini made a second substitution.

He replaced Aguero with Negredo!

This is a big gamble.

Negredo is an out-and-out center. With a height of 186cm and a weight of 83kg, he is undoubtedly a good center template.

His personal skills are not delicate, and his speed is not very fast, but he has a strong ability to catch, adjust, and shoot. Whether it is a cross from the wing or a through ball from the center, whether it is an overhead pass or a low pass from the ground, he Always find the right shot.

Even if there are some incoming balls that are difficult to handle, he will work hard to adjust his pace and body and force his kick.

Using a center with similar characteristics to Dzeko, replacing Aguero, who can link up behind Dzeko and is more flexible, Pellegrini is going to use a double center tactic.

This is actually related to the previous substitution.

After Kolarov went down, Manchester City's frontcourt lacked a point where they could receive and shoot, but Clichy was still able to make crosses from the wing.

Therefore, Pellegrini hopes that through such substitutions and adjustments, he can change some playing styles and continue to attack Hamburg's goal.

After all, a draw is a satisfactory result for Hamburg, but Manchester City cannot accept it!

However, such a substitution will definitely cause some problems.

Without Aguero's retracement and running passes, Manchester City's central attack will definitely be greatly affected.

So this is a gamble.

But now Pellegrini really doesn't have many choices.

Bo Yibo turns a bicycle into a motorcycle!

In the 82nd minute, Pan Yi also made his second substitution adjustment.

This time he changed two people at once.

Paulinho comes on, Casemiro comes off.

Mitrovic enters, Vardy exits.

The formation has not changed and is still 433, but the playing style has obviously changed.

The appearance of high center forward Mitrovic can better adapt to the current playing style of two-footed wingers on the court (Son Heung-min's two-footed attributes allow him to switch playing styles freely);

And Paulinho's appearance is a signal to further strengthen the offense!

Violent Bird is not as good as his fellow Brazilian Casemiro in terms of defensive ability, but his forward tendency and running ability are stronger.

And he also has the ability to shoot violently!

Maybe he can put this skill to better use when facing Joe Hart.

And Pan Yi's two substitutions clearly told the Hamburg players to continue attacking!

Nalegrini's double center tactic was actually a stupid move at this time, because it gave the Hamburg midfielder more control.

Manchester City's players can no longer run, and the quality of crosses from the wing is also very problematic.

So Hamburg is going to take this opportunity to launch another fierce attack.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Pan Yi doesn't want a draw, he wants a victory!



Before going on the field, Pan Yi pulled Mitrovic and Paulinho and said a few words, mainly to tell them what to do after they get up.

Mitrovic's task is to press into the opponent's penalty area and use his strong body to cover his teammates.

In this way, Manchester City's defense, especially the central defender, has to follow him for close defense, which can also reduce the defensive pressure on teammates at the front of the penalty area.

When Paulinho came up, he did not stand in Casemiro's midfielder position, but on a prerequisite, not too far away from Kante and De Bruyne.

The three of them can also perform flexible cross-position changes to disrupt the opponent's defensive focus.

When Mitrovic's fulcrum role is reflected, when Manchester City's defense begins to open up, these three midfielders can timely intervene and give them a fatal blow at the front of the penalty area!

In other words, Pan Yi's adjustment and change this time is to use Mitrovic as a feint attack, and the midfield trio is the real firepower output point!

The two wing attacks of Son Heung-min and Wu Lei are of course also very important, but they mainly cooperate to pass high-quality high-altitude passes to Mitrovic. While trying high-altitude bombing, they can also make the feint part more practical. !

Therefore, when Mitrovic and Paulinho came on the court, Hamburg players seemed to run more.

The three midfielders are no longer limited to whether they are in the middle or on the wing, whether they are deep or forward. They take turns playing, constantly threatening Manchester City's forward position.

The same goes for the two wingers.

Son Heung-min and Wu Lei kept attacking Manchester City's two wings on both wings, making it difficult for both Clichy and Zabaleta to resist.

The game is now coming to an end, but Hamburg can still launch such a fierce attack, which makes it very difficult for Manchester City to parry.

It's just that Manchester City players have very strong personal abilities and strong willpower.

Even though their feet felt as if they were filled with lead, they still persisted in competing with Hamburg.

Time is passing bit by bit.

The time on the scoreboard was almost ninety minutes, and the score was still 1:1.

The fourth official on the sidelines once again raised his sign and stood up.

This time it is not a substitution card, but a display of injury time.

3 minutes!
