In the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg faces Leverkusen at home.

Before the game, the coaches of the two teams expressed their respect to each other, and Heinx, the old world, did make Situ Yunbing respect him.

Among the current coaches in the Bundesliga, only three have won the Champions League championship, Van Gaal, Situ Yunbing, and one is Heinx!

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

In 2008, Klinsmann stepped down in disgrace at Bayern Munich. Heinx served as Bayern Munich's firefighting coach for a while. Heinx, who was already retired, returned to the world. He thought that Bayern Munich would give him a contract at the end of the season, but he did not expect Bayern Munich invited Van Gaal.

Heinx could have returned to his retirement life, but perhaps he picked up the coaching stick and ignited his passion for football again, so he went to Leverkusen and won fourth in the league last season, up 5 places from Leverkusen's ranking in the season before he took office!

It’s a pity that Leverkusen can’t escape the shackles of most German clubs.

You can only live a life of your own life, but you cannot rely on external forces to be able to become faster and faster.

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

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

The People's Park Stadium is hustle and bustle.

Situ Yunbing, who was standing on the sidelines in a windbreaker, still maintained a serious and concentric attitude. Heinx coached the team with distinctive characteristics, simple, capable and pragmatic style, without those fancy tactical designs, which were reflected in the team's offense and defense on the court, and would never be dragged on.

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

After all, Dortmund and Hamburg are in a period of rapid growth, and once Bayern Munich solves its internal problems, they will return the king!

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

Vidal and Rollfys completed their containment of him well, and Leverkusen still had a talented attack group.

Banetta, Augusto, Sam, Deldiono, and Vidal behind them, Cadeletz and Castro on the back.

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

Heinx uses the most suitable player in every position, which is itself the most important principle to follow in tactical arrangements. The old man will not make low-level mistakes, and will not seek new tricks and make trouble!

Hamburg can hardly rely on the sidelines to launch a threatening offensive. De Bruyne is not invisible, but the threat of forward-forward attack has been greatly weakened, or most of the time he will make mistakes and be intercepted when he sees him.

Compared with the midfielder combination of Dortmund Shahing and Bend, Leverkusen is obviously stronger and tougher than Dal Garol Fies' combination. This is the biggest reason why De Bruyne is restrained. In addition, Leverkusen's offense does not delay, and the rhythm of offense and defense conversion is very good.

This big game of opening and closing seemed to have a kind of effect of scoring goals between the plum blossoms!

The visual effect is very explosive!

Sam, Barnetta and Vidal are the best players in Leverkusen's team, and Hamburg is almost reliant on the two forward stars Griezmann and Reus!

After the 90-minute game, the number on the scoreboard is 3:3.

Neither of the two teams could win this victory, but they both lost the loss.

After Situ Yunbing shook hands with Heinx, he turned around and walked into the player's passage and had only one thought circling in his mind.

The same problem reappears, and this problem must be solved!

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

If you cannot distance yourself from the teams that compete for the championship and are obviously stronger than them, then Hamburg's obvious experience disadvantage will make it difficult for them to be placed in high hopes at critical moments, and talking about willpower, fighting spirit, determination, courage, etc. is not very meaningful, because other teams competing for the championship will not be weaker than Hamburg's enterprising spirit!

After the game, Situ Yunbing still said in an interview: "Today's game was wonderful, but the result was not the most important. We gained a valuable draw."

Heinx praised the hamburger. He came with the determination to win, but failed to win the hamburger!

Compared with Dortmund's offensive creation talent, Leverkusen's strength lies in his tough style, but the former will guarantee the offensive efficiency, and the offensive efficiency will affect the goal, which will in turn affect the outcome. The latter will more raise the team's bottom line, but may not necessarily increase the upper limit.

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

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

Even "Kicker" couldn't help but exclaim: Dortmund will secure the league championship!

They have won the league half-time championship and have surpassed second place Hamburg by as many as 7 points in the standings!

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

Dortmund, 43 points.

Hamburger, 36 points.

Leverkusen, 30 points.

Mainz, 30 points.

......

Situ Yunbing never told others that he had an idea of ​​adjusting the team's lineup. It was actually just a minor operation. He only needed to introduce a suitable midfielder and replace a main midfielder and complete it.

Since his defeat at West** Stadium, he has been paying attention to the trends of players in European football that meet his recruitment standards. However, the success rate of recruitment during the winter transfer period has never been high. Suitable players may not be willing to come to Hamburg, and even if they are willing, the team may not be willing to let go.

His requirements are definitely high. This is already the middle of the season, not before the season. At this time, the standard for signing is definitely something that can be fought and its strength can convince the public, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction in the locker room!

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

If it is not enough to worry him to give Dortmund 7 points behind, it must be a scam, but he can only digest negative emotions by himself, and cannot express them.

The league ended in the half-time match, and Hamburg challenged Borussia Mönchengladbach as a guest.

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

If you lose points in this game, Hamburg may be 9 or 10 points behind Dortmund!

Such a gap may lead to the fact that even if Situ Yunbing can sign players during the winter break to improve the team's strength, the pressure to catch up with Dortmund in the second half of the season will probably last for a long time. For young teams, if this pressure cannot be withstanded, then everything will be complete!

This is the first time Situ Yunbing has issued such a clear record order to the team since coaching Hamburg. The players dare not neglect and the three armies will use their lives!

Borussia Mönchengladbach defended his life at home. As the bottom-ranked team in the league, they can of course only hope for one point when facing Hamburg.

But I don’t want to give them this 1 point!

When Hamburg could not defeat him for a long time, captain Boateng stepped forward and headed the ball in a corner kick off the goal to score for Hamburg's first record!

The game was much easier after scoring the goal, and Hamburg finally beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 away and scored 3 points!

What excited the Hamburgers was that Dortmund lost this round!

Perhaps because of the huge lead, Dortmund is also a younger team, and they are a little embarrassed by Frankfurt 1:0 on the road!

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

The Bundesliga half ended, and Dortmund's defeat kept the suspense of the championship within a reasonable range.

Dortmund, 43 points.

Hamburger, 39 points.

Leverkusen, 31 points.

Mainz, 30 points.

Bayern Munich, 28 points.

......

The league ended in half, but before the holidays arrived, Hamburg still had a German Cup match to play.

In the 1/8 final, Hamburg challenged the second-tier team Aachen.

This was not a very stressful game. Situ Yunbing rotated 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, scolding the young players for not showing enough fighting spirit and courage. Hamburg lost 1:2 away!

The elimination of the German Cup was not enough to make Situ Yunbing angry, but the rotation players did not pay enough attention to the game and cherish opportunities, which made him angry.

He even roared at the players in the locker room: "If you think such a game is irrelevant and can't matter, then what qualifications do you have to ask for better opportunities and more playing time? Many of you haven't really understood that the team's main players are unshakable, but substitutes can get out at any time!"

His rage seemed to make the locker room tremble.

Young players will definitely make mistakes of one kind or another. Situ Yunbing's standards and principles have never changed. If you make technical mistakes, you can tolerate them. If you have any problems with your attitude, you will never allow them!

Some German media exposed the news that Situ Yunbing was furious after Hamburg was eliminated in the German Cup. In the eyes of some German commentators, the 4 points behind in the league have already made Situ Yunbing take off his magical cloak, and his anger at young players also shows signs that he personally cannot bear the pressure.

Perhaps the goal is set too high, or perhaps he is not used to team eliminating in the cup, at least he has not been eliminated in the cup in his coaching career in the past two years.

The team is on holiday.

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

He saw Situ Yunbing carry a suitcase out of the bedroom, and the air ticket and passport were placed on the coffee table. He asked curiously: "Where are you going? I'm here to invite you to celebrate Christmas together in Nice."

Situ Yunbing changed into a casual warm coat. He put on his shoes and said to Alonzo: "I'm in a hurry to go to the airport. Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to the United States this Christmas."

Alonzo looked surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Because Siglid is attending a Christmas event in the United States, I think I should go with her."

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

Situ Yunbing packed up his wrist and looked at his watch. It seemed that time was a little nervous. He picked up the air ticket and passport on the table, pulled up his suitcase and walked out.

Alonzo followed closely and it seemed that he was going back to Nice alone to celebrate the festival with his family.

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

"who?"

"The last piece of the championship puzzle."
Chapter completed!
