(Thank you everyone for your monthly votes and recommendation votes. Here is an update! Continue, don’t stop...)
The game could end at any moment.
The referee had the whistle in his mouth and looked at his watch frequently.
At this time Hamburg launched another attack.
If nothing else, this will be the last attack of the game.
Regardless of success or failure, the referee will blow the final whistle.
This time, Hamburg's pitch was to the left.
After Carvajal was blocked from advancing on the right, he transferred the ball to Robertson.
Robertson tried to cooperate with Kanter and then continued to move forward with the ball.
Zabaleta is very defensive here and will not attack easily, which makes it difficult for Robertson to break through.
As a result, Son Heung-min moved to his ribs to receive Robertson's pass.
When Son Heung-min got the ball, Mitrovic had his back to the goal, but he soon began to retreat.
Kompany, who had been keeping an eye on Mitrovic, quickly ran out.
At this time, Son Heung-min also passed the ball to Mitrovic.
Kompany wanted to steal the ball, but Mitrovic took the first step, stopped the ball and blocked Kompany with his body, keeping the Belgian behind him.
Mitrovic's strong body showed his advantage. Kompany was blocked behind him and could only prevent Mitrovic from turning around, but could not shake him at all.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Mitrovic is protecting the ball, and Kompany is grabbing the ball, forming a world-famous painting: "My ball protection is like Henry".
But this scene actually lasted less than two seconds.
It is actually very difficult for Mitrovic to turn around and shoot at this time, because Kompany is behind him and can intercept the ball at any time when he swings his leg.
So he can only pass the ball.
To whom?
It was Paulinho who had sprinted over from the midfield position at this time!
He originally stood near the center circle, ready to receive Son Heung-min's pass at any time, and also paid attention to quickly counterattacking if the ball was intercepted.
At the same time, he was also paying attention to Mitrovic's movements and the situation at the goal.
After seeing Mitrovic get the ball with his back, Paulinho suddenly made a move to pull to the right, causing Yaya Toure who was marking him to also move, but suddenly stopped and changed direction and quickly moved forward. rush.
Almost at the same time, Mitrovic's ball was also passed.
He moved slightly backward, and the ball just rolled slowly on the grass a few times.
But that's enough.
Paulinho had already rushed past Yaya Toure, rushed straight to the edge of the penalty area, and then faced the ball that was slowly rolling over, with a right-footed pull away!
The ball flew to the left side of the goal again.
The speed of the ball this time seems to be faster than Kanter's kick just now!
Paulinho's feet are already harder than Kanter's, and this time he was fully prepared and the part where he touched the ball was just right.
then……
Poor Joe Hart once again saw the ball fly into the back of the net.
But this time, he didn't even have time to make a move to save the ball.
He only had time to open his mouth wide and spit out a British curse:
"Mom mess with Fake..."
…
"Goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"In the last second of the game, Hamburg made another victory! This was a buzzer beater! A real buzzer beater! After the goal, the referee blew the final whistle directly!"
"Another world wave, this time from Brazilian international Paulinho!"
"With this wonderful long-range shot, Hamburg reversed the score!!! They won the away game in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16!!!"
"It is worth noting that this is a connection between two substitute players, another magical substitution! We now have to admire Hamburg coach Pan Yi's use of troops. It is really amazing."
"This is really incredible! Pan Yi won again in this tactical duel with Pellegrini! This is not the first time he has defeated a world-class coach! He is really a master tactician and on-the-spot commander !”
"Now Hamburg have won at the Etihad Stadium and scored two valuable away goals, which puts Manchester City on the edge. If Manchester City wants to advance, they must win in the second leg in three weeks. And we have to score at least two goals on the road."
"Now everyone knows how difficult it is to win at Hamburg's home court! Hamburg has successfully turned the People's Park Stadium into a devil's home court! And this is also thanks to the young coach Pan Yi!"
…
After Paulinho scored, he was excited and pointed his finger at Mitrovic to express his gratitude for his assist.
After the two hugged each other, they rushed to the sidelines together and gave the ball to Pan Yi.
Of course Pan Yi was also very excited.
This goal has been a long time coming!
Manchester City is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even if the players are exhausted, they can still rely on their strong mental power and willpower to hold on until the end!
Fortunately, Paulinho hit the world wave at the right time, so that the victory that was about to be obtained was not in vain!
Of course, this may also be thanks to the opponent's goalkeeper Joe Hart...
Not only was he excited, but Inzaghi, Nagelsmann and others were also so excited. They all went crazy and rushed to the field with the substitute players to celebrate with everyone.
Because everyone knows what this goal means.
This almost means that Hamburg has one foot in the door of the Champions League quarterfinals!
The Etihad Stadium was completely silent.
Manchester City fans could only watch helplessly as their opponents reveled on the pitch and in the away stands.
But they seemed unable to say anything.
In fact, from the perspective of the game process, Manchester City's performance really cannot be considered bad.
But Hamburg played better, especially after Pan Yi made his first substitution in the 65th minute.
From that point on, the game really entered Hamburg's rhythm, with one attack after another.
Although it sounds a bit unlucky to say that the two goals scored were world-wide waves, in many cases this kind of accident is the inevitable result of the accumulation of opportunities.
This is the first leg of the Champions League knockout round of the top 16. Manchester City fans know what it means to lose 1:2 at home.
It is too difficult to reverse the away game.
Therefore, Manchester City fans are a little desperate, but they also think that there may be a miracle, so they are still quite contradictory.
At this time, in the chairman's stand, Manchester City chairman Mubarak was also very depressed.
This is the Champions League game that he and Sheikh Mansour value most, but they lost at home and can be said to be on the verge of elimination.
The person who led the team to defeat Manchester City was Pan Yi, who they were talking about just now and couldn't fly an aircraft carrier.
This slap in the face is too fast!
"This young man..." Mubarak looked at director Begiristain on the side. "It still feels like there is something, right? He scores a goal as soon as he changes players. This Pan Yi is really not easy."
Begiristain touched his face: "Well... right. Now it seems that his defense in the first half was purposeful, just to be able to launch a general attack in the second half when our physical fitness declined."
"Although he is young, he feels very mature." CEO Soriano also said, "When he fell behind, he did not panic at all, but implemented his tactical policy step by step and then achieved a reversal. He may really be a Rare coaching talent.”
"And when Hamburg launched the attack, they played very smoothly and beautifully." Begiristain added.
To win, you must also win beautifully. This is also a point that Manchester City's senior management attaches great importance to.
"So..." Mubarak narrowed his eyes, "You all think he is quite suitable for our Manchester City now?"
The two of them had not responded yet. They only heard some Manchester City fans who were leaving the stadium in the nearby stands shouting loudly towards the chairman's stand:
"We want Pan Yi! He is the best coach in Europe now! Let Pan Yi come to Manchester City to coach! It's up to you!"
Mubarak couldn't help but be a little tempted.
Even Manchester City fans like this young coach.
Although age represents seniority to a certain extent, youth still has advantages.
If Pan Yi can really play beautiful and sharp football in Manchester City, it will be really profitable.
He can stay in Manchester City for ten or twenty years... and truly build Manchester City into a dynasty team and a truly world-class giant!
By that time, Pan Yi was only in his forties.
As for Pellegrini?
Rich teams never fire their head coaches without blinking an eye!
"But I heard that Bayern is also interested in him." Begiristain said, "And Bayern has always been very attractive to Bundesliga players and coaches, so..."
"This is normal." Mubarak waved his hand, "Of course many people are grabbing good things, which proves Pan Yi's strength and level, doesn't it? As long as we at Manchester City show the greatest sincerity, he will consider us of."
Begiristain and Soriano both nodded and turned their attention to Pan Yi, who was celebrating with the players.
This young man from the Dragon Kingdom will be the focus of their next work!
…
Another corner of the stands.
Levi was stroking his bald head and looking at his football director Baldini with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad. I think this coach is good and can beat Manchester City! In this case, I will go find him later and ask him to join our team."
Baldini quickly grabbed Levi: "Don't worry, boss! This matter needs to be considered in the long run..."
"What's the plan?" Levi glared, "We are Tottenham Hotspur, the king of North London, but we can't compete with a small hamburger? He must have agreed to come over."
Baldini swallowed: "Boss, Hamburg has won the Champions League, and has won more top league titles than us..."
"Like this??" Levi cursed, "Oh my God, why do I think they are just a small team? I didn't expect there are quite a lot of trophies in the honor room..."
"They are like Nottingham Forest, they have been blessed by their ancestors." Baldini explained briefly, and then said, "Otherwise, I will handle Pan Yi's affairs, and I will convey your kindness to him."
"Okay. Just tell him, come to us, we have enough money!" Levi thought for a while and then said, "By the way, what was the name of the person who scored the goal in the end? He looked pretty fierce."
"Paulinho is a Brazilian." Baldi introduced. "He was also bought by Pan Yi from Brazil. He was not well-known at first, but now he is playing very well in Hamburg. He can be said to be one of the most improved midfielders. One."
Levi nodded: "Oh... this guy is good. It seems that Pan Yi has a good vision. If he asks for the decision-making power in the transfer market, I might also consider it... Also, if there is an opportunity If so, sign Paulinho to our team, I like such violent shots!"
Baldini: "...Okay, I'll give it a try."
…
In the media box, the two Sky Sports treasures never stopped bickering after the game.
Neville: "Actually, I think Manchester City played pretty well this time. They just lost to two world waves and were a bit unlucky."
Carragher: "But Hamburg won the game 2:1."
Neville: "In terms of the control of the scene, two-thirds of the time belongs to Manchester City, while Hamburg only has control one-third of the time. This also shows that Manchester City actually has a greater advantage."
Carragher: "But Hamburg won the game 2:1."
Neville: "Our Premier League team's sense of oppression is still very strong. You also saw how badly Hamburg was pressed in the first half! It wasn't until sixty or seventy minutes that they regained their composure."
Carragher: "But Hamburg won the game 2:1."
Neville: "...Are you done? You're just talking nonsense, aren't you?"
Carragher: "You were the one who started talking nonsense!"
…
"The team that performed better won the game!"
At the post-match press conference, Pan Yi set the tone for his speech as soon as he started, that is: praise!
Praise the team and the players.
He made no secret of his satisfaction with his players.
Pan Yi believes that people like Vardy, Kanter, Wu Lei, Mitrovic, Paulinho and others performed very well in the game.
He also highlighted Rudiger.
Although Rudiger's foul on Dzeko in the first half led to the free kick goal, in the following time Rudiger watched Dzeko to death, allowing the Bosnia and Herzegovina striker to continue. There is no room for performance.
"When facing a forward of Dzeko's level, the young Rudiger had no stage fright at all. After absorbing the lesson, he immediately found a way to deal with the opponent. I have to say that he will definitely be a world-class defender in the future. !”
After praising his own family, Pan Yi also praised his opponent.
"Pellegrini is an excellent coach. Manchester City's style of play under him is very creative. The flexible movement of the offensive line made us a little at a loss at the beginning."
"In the first half and the beginning of the second half, they controlled the situation on the field and organized an effective offense, which caused us a lot of trouble."
"The goal conceded in the first half was the mistake they forced us to make in the game. Fortunately, our players adjusted and did not lose confidence. This is why I just want to praise my players."
"In short, Etihad's Manchester City is not easy to deal with, and when we return to the People's Park Stadium, we must be cautious about the next round of the game."
"If the fans think we're already guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals, that's fine and that's what our win today gives them. But if my players think that too, it's dangerous. So I'll let them Players should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, start from scratch and prepare well for the second game!"
At the end of the press conference, Pan Yi said:
"As I said at the beginning, our performance was better, so Hamburg deserved this victory! So, let's enjoy this victory happily before the next game starts!"
…
A rather strange phenomenon occurred in the post-match ratings given by the media or officials to the players of both teams.
That is, Kolarov, who scored the only goal for Manchester City, did not have a high rating, only 5.5 points, which is not yet a passing grade.
This situation is actually quite rare, because players who score goals tend to be rated higher.
But everyone's relatively unified scoring showed that although Kolarov scored, he was badly beaten in the second half of the second half.
Wu Lei, who came on as a substitute for Hamburg, frequently broke through and created threats on his side, and Hamburg's first goal was also launched here. In the end, Pellegrini had to replace Kolarov.
On the other hand, Wu Lei, although he came on as a substitute, still got a high score of 7.4 due to his active running and this precious assist, even higher than Salah who started the game.
In Hamburg, the highest scorer was Kante, and he also deservedly won the best of the game.
First of all, his world-class goal shocked everyone, and at the same time he equalized the score for Hamburg, which was of great significance.
Secondly, he contributed very impressive statistics throughout the game, making a great contribution to Hamburg both offensively and defensively.
In the past two or three years, Kanter has gone from being a substitute in France B, first to becoming a qualified defensive midfielder, and now to being an all-around midfielder with comprehensive skills. His progress can be said to be rapid.
It can be said that he has become an irreplaceable part of Hamburg's formation and has become a truly world-class midfielder.
What's even more commendable is that no matter when the game is going on or what the situation is, Kanter always maintains his relentless running and positive attitude, and never has any complaints or temper.
This may really have something to do with his character.
Such a guy who usually has no desires or desires is often calm on the court, so he can output his abilities without any influence.
In addition to the player ratings, the media also creatively rated the head coaches of the two teams.
Pellegrini scored 6.5, which is better than passing.
This also shows that the media believes that Pellegrini's strategy in this game cannot be said to be completely wrong.
Because he knew very well the consequences of his tactical play if he could not quickly widen the score gap, so he would attack quickly and continuously.
In fact, many teams cannot stop Manchester City's bombardment.
Just like the Manchester City Derby, Manchester United was scored two goals in the first half, which caused the players' mentality to be a bit unbalanced. They were also unable to sustain in the second half, thus conceding another goal, and ultimately defeated by three goals.
But it is a pity that the opponent he encountered this time was Pan Yi.
Although Hamburg also scored a goal first, under the command of Pan Yi, the Hamburg team stabilized their mentality, the formation did not become loose, and the defense also did a good job.
It wasn't until Manchester City could no longer attack that Pan Yi waved his flag to launch a counterattack and overtook the score in one fell swoop.
It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi received a high score of 9.5 points!
The media that praised Pan Yi also included the authoritative British "The Times", "The Guardian" and "The Daily Telegraph".
For the arrogant British, Pan Yi, who has only coached in Serie A and Bundesliga, is actually suspicious.
First of all, Pan Yi was just an assistant coach when he was coaching at AC Milan. Of course, they felt that Milan's achievements could not be attributed to Pan Yi.
Secondly, the current weakening competitiveness of Serie A is visible to the naked eye.
Not one of the teams that entered the top 16 of the Champions League this season is from Italy!
Furthermore, although Pan Yi's achievements as a head coach in the Bundesliga are not yet considered, except for Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the other teams in the Bundesliga are actually very weak and not worth mentioning.
Even Dortmund is getting worse year by year and is not very competitive now.
But it was different after last night.
Pan Yi led the team to reverse Manchester City in the away game!
This is the team with the best performance in the Premier League in recent years, and it also hopes to win the Premier League championship this season!
Manchester City itself represents the highest level of the Premier League.
Being able to defeat Manchester City can prove Pan Yi's coaching ability.
"The Times" believes that after this battle, Pan Yi has truly become one of the top coaches in Europe!
The Guardian also said that after Hamburg qualified from the group of death, they showed an indomitable momentum, and even Manchester City could not stop their progress at the Etihad Stadium.
Pan Yi's several substitutions during the game also showed his grasp of the game process and accurate timing.
Pan Yi's Hamburg left a deep impression in this game. They really have a chance to attack the championship!
The Sun reported a rumor that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Levy was spotted in the stands of the Etihad Stadium. Perhaps Pan Yi is about to leave Hamburg for White Hart Lane. …
…
In addition to Hamburg's victory over Manchester City, the performance of the other three Bundesliga teams competing in the Champions League knockout rounds was mixed.
Dortmund defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 4:2 away from home, while Bayern Munich also defeated Arsenal 2:0 away from home.
Like Hamburg, they also achieved valuable away victories and took solid steps towards promotion.
However, Leverkusen, who played at home, lost miserably to Chelsea 0:4 and was basically eliminated.
These results are actually considered normal.
As the British media said, except for Bayern and Dortmund, other Bundesliga teams often study with their princes in the Champions League, and few of them can stand up.
But now another burger has been added, which has improved the overall competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams.
At the same time, in the three-match battle between England and Germany in the top 16, the Bundesliga also temporarily led the Premier League 2:1.
Of course, this is only the first round of the game. In the end, who can advance will have to wait until both rounds are played to find out!
Before that, the Bundesliga will usher in another focus battle, which is also a "civil war" between two teams that won the elimination of the Champions League.
In the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg faced Dortmund at home!
