Chapter 870: Change of Formation
"Well done, that's great!"
Even Kuhn, who is already over 70 years old and seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune, couldn't help jumping up from his seat when he saw Douglas Costa score another goal for Hamburg to reverse the situation and overtake.
This action immediately frightened the bodyguards and accompanying personnel behind him.
Watch your back, old man!
Alexander Otto was so excited that he jumped up from his seat, rushed to the guardrail and shouted to the audience below the court.
God knows what this guy is saying, shouting so fast?
Yang Huan also kept waving, and was very happy with the team's performance tonight.
Just for the two goals in the second half, Hamburg fans will definitely be satisfied even if they lose tonight.
Pretty combative, isn't it?
Everyone knows that Hamburg today cannot compete with Bayern Munich in terms of real strength.
Not to mention Bayern Munich, even with teams like Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Hamburg cannot say that it will be able to keep pace with its opponents. After all, the team has just undergone a reorganization.
However, based on the players' performance on the court, it is hard to be dissatisfied.
"Douglas Costa, I remember him. He was a great passer when he was in Brazil. I didn't expect that he is really that good. And that Kingsley Coman, he is only 18 years old?" Kuhn was a little surprised.
Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, I was born in 1996, and I just turned 18 in June!"
Kuhn was amazed and shook his head repeatedly, "Genius, this player is definitely a genius!"
"Michael, Douglas Costa is not very old, he seems to be only 24 years old." Alexander Otto said with a smile.
Yang Huan smiled slightly and nodded, "That's right."
"Master Huan, I know that these two players are on loan temporarily. How about this, I will pay to buy them out to Hamburg. Such talented players can play for Hamburg for at least ten years, so we can't let them go." Kuhn said with a smile.
It can be seen that he really admires these two players.
"You pay?" Yang Huan shook his head and smiled.
He could see that if Kuhn had previously paid out of his own pocket to buy players for Hamburg, which was somewhat suspected to be a request from the board of directors, then now, he was probably addicted to buying players.
Anyone who sees one or two outstanding players wants to stay in Hamburg.
Speaking of which, the players that Kuhn brought in with his own money are all pretty good, such as Van der Vaart.
"Michael, do you know how much these two players are worth now?" Alexander Otto said with a teasing smile.
"How much?" Kuhn had never really understood this.
"Douglas Costa is now valued at 20 million euros, and Kingsley Coman is valued at 10 million euros. The two players will cost 30 million!"
Kuhn was slightly stunned, and then he said generously: "30 million is 30 million, as long as they stay in Hamburg, I will give them this 30 million!"
Yang Huan knew in his heart that the old man saw hope for Hamburg's revival, but he was afraid that Yang Huan would suddenly change his mind and take the players away after seeing their outstanding performances. Wouldn't that mean Hamburg would be finished?
"Michael, don't worry!" Yang Huan smiled faintly and said, "In fact, I have already considered it. As long as I take over Hamburg smoothly, I can guarantee that all the players on loan to Hamburg will stay!"
What Yang Huan meant by taking over Hamburger was very clear, that is, to acquire all the remaining shares of Hamburger.
This is only natural.
The strength and potential of these players are unquestionable, and they are now in the most rapid growth phase. Who would be willing to sell them easily at this time?
If Yang Huan couldn't fully control Hamburg, how could he send the players to Hamburg?
As for, if Hamburg belongs to Yang Huan, then what's the problem with him keeping these players in Hamburg?
"Actually, Michael, don't focus on Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman. You should learn more about other players, Sussex. I guarantee that with time, he will not lose to Abubakar."
"Is it true?" Alexander Otto was a little surprised.
Even Kuzhi's eyes lit up.
They had heard of this player, but it seemed that he didn't perform well in the few times he came on as a substitute.
"Not to mention Januzaj, Sane also has great potential and talent, and the young midfielder Weigl is also very familiar, but there are also Godino, Hojbjerg and Kimmich, and Jedvaj and Tah on the back line. They are the future of the team and will be the focus of Tuchel's cultivation in the next two years."
Tuchel's target is Guardiola.
To some extent, he prefers these technically sophisticated players, especially midfielders.
As for the defense, Jedvaj is a product of Southampton's youth training camp, and his ability to receive and pass the ball in the backcourt is beyond doubt.
Tah is a product of Hamburg's youth training. He has a nearly perfect central defender's physique and very good defensive skills. With time, he will surely become a well-known defensive pillar in German and even European football.
One of the important reasons why Yang Huan chose Tuchel is that Tuchel’s ability to train young players is quite outstanding.
Regardless of whether we consider the financial health policy of the German Football Association or the actual situation of Hamburg, it is obviously not a rational choice for Hamburg to spend a lot of money in a short period of time to catch up with Bayern Munich.
The wisest choice should be to steadily improve the team's performance, rely on the overall advantages of Miracle Football Group, introduce cost-effective players, improve the team's overall strength, and slowly accumulate to a certain level before competing with Bayern Munich.
This is not only true on the court, but also outside the court, especially in the field of commercial development.
This requires a long period of stable operation, as short as three years or as long as five years.
Yang Huan firmly believes that with Hamburg backed by such a developed metropolis, the team will definitely be able to compete with Bayern Munich.
After listening to Yang Huan's thoughts, Kuhn and Alexander Otto kept nodding.
"Master Huan, you are right. You are an expert in managing players. I trust you!"
Kuhn said this and then changed the subject, "But, I've said before, 30 million euros, we men keep our word. I heard that the team is planning to expand the training base, so this 30 million euros will be considered as my sponsorship, and I'll take the naming rights!"
Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this. You bastard, you bought the naming rights of the team’s stadium before, but you didn’t name it. Now you come to name the team’s training base, so do you want to name it?
It's true that people can do whatever they want because they have too much money!
But what Master Huan didn't know was that in the eyes of Kuhn and others, these two sums of money were not only spent to make them happy, but more importantly, they also had their own interests to consider, didn't they?
As long as Hamburg's performance is good, they will naturally follow suit.
So, as soon as Kuhn finished speaking, Alexander Otto also said that he wanted to sponsor the youth training camp and also paid 20 million euros.
This made Young Master Huan stunned.
It turns out these guys are even more willful than me!
In fact, this is mainly because Young Master Huan does not understand the situation.
When Khov and others took over Hamburg, they also spent a lot of money.
Not to mention the transfer period, they spent tens of millions but ended up getting nothing. Moreover, on weekdays, those board members often came to them for favors, which made them very annoyed.
The way Khoff and others put it is, why should we let a bunch of local rich people like you be the representatives of the fans?
Isn't it because you have money?
If you rich people don't donate some money to the club from time to time, who will pay attention to you?
But things are different now.
Now, Master Huan is the boss of Hamburg. Many of the previous rules and ways of doing things are no longer applicable.
If Young Master Huan wants to be formal, then they must follow the standards.
So, in a way, sponsorship and naming are a pretty good way to continue their and the company's close relationship with hamburgers.
Look, Master Huan is planning to support Alexander Otto to join the board of directors, and even does not rule out the possibility of him serving as chairman of the board.
As for Kuhn, he will become the team's honorary chairman.
Although it is an honorary title, its weight in the hearts of Hamburg fans is different.
…………
…………
While Yang Huan, Kuhn and Otto were discussing how to reorganize the board of directors in the stands, Guardiola and his two right-hand men also made important decisions in front of the visiting team's coaching booth.
Change formation!
In the 71st minute, Bayern Munich finally made the first substitution of the game.
Guardiola replaced Brazilian center back Dante, who had a poor performance in this game, with left back Bernat.
With Bernat's coming on, Bayern Munich's formation changed to a 4-2-3-1 tactic.
Lahm returned to his familiar right-back position, Xabi Alonso and Thiago formed a double defensive midfielder, and there were no major changes in the frontcourt.
This change in formation immediately changed the situation for Bayern Munich.
The high-intensity pressing tactics adopted by Hamburg cannot last long, and secondly, the defense will definitely be empty.
Because of the fear of the strength of players such as Lewandowski, Ribery, Robben and Thomas Muller, the defense line dare not push too far forward.
However, Hamburg's midfield is the basis of pressure and pressing in the frontcourt, so it must cooperate with the frontcourt to press forward.
This led to some disconnect between the defense and the midfield.
Although Weigl was very careful about this and stayed relatively far back, there were still large gaps on both sides.
Guardiola's change of formation immediately allowed the two full-backs to boldly move forward, actively participate in the attack, and actively take the ball on the two sides of the 30-meter area. At the same time, he also allowed Xabi Alonso and Thiago to pass the ball to these two areas.
Once the full-backs actively participate in the frontcourt attack, Bayern Munich's overall offensive will come alive.
When the game reached the 76th minute, Bayern Munich had just entered Hamburg's half. After Xabi Alonso received the pass from the frontcourt, although he was closely pressed by Badelj, he immediately passed the ball to the right.
Lahm quickly moved forward along the right side, and after receiving the ball, he walked to the baseline very decisively and resolutely.
Ostrolek got rid of Robben at the first moment, but Lahm was very flexible. Before Ostrolek got close, he made a fake move, shook off his position, and then kicked the ball directly into the middle.
It was a low cross, which was positioned just in front of the small penalty area and was very fast. Goalkeeper Oblak did not dare to attack easily, and the two central defenders in the team were attracted to the front point by Lewandowski.
Unexpectedly, Lewandowski at the front point failed to get the ball, but the ball brushed past the goal and reached the back point.
At this time, everyone realized that Thomas Muller suddenly appeared at the back point without knowing when.
He seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground, and the ball came right in front of him.
The Bayern star stretched out his foot, the ball hit his foot, turned in another direction, and hit the goal, 3 to 3!
At this moment, a mixed feeling of sighs was heard again in the People's Park Stadium.
Is it really true that we still cannot defeat Bayern Munich?
