Today’s information

[Manchester United believe that this Champions League is a golden opportunity to win the title, so they want to give more strength to the Champions League than the league.]

—

[As the season moves into the second half, Hamburg will be forced to make a choice. This is because Hamburg still lacks the experience and players to lead the league and the Pokal Cup Champions League at the same time.][Most of Hamburg’s veterans are recruited from outside, and except for those players, most are in their early to mid-20s. It can also be seen in this context that the concentration in the second half is often disturbed in recent league matches.][If this situation continues, Hamburg manager Jae-Jin Song will definitely feel the pressure to lead all competitions. That is why the first competition to give up is probably the Pokal Cup. Realistically, except for the symbolic leagues and the Champions League, the only thing that remains practically is the Pokal Cup, which is relatively important.][In particular, the upcoming Pokal Cup quarter-finals between Hamburg and Dortmund is very important. Dortmund are doing their best to win even one trophy after being eliminated from the Champions League, and the current league standings are 4th, so the competition for the title is difficult.][But, after the Pokal Cup, after the league match against Hoffenheim, Hamburg is waiting for the second leg of the round of 16 against Atletico Madrid right away, and if they do not lose by a large score in that match, they also have to wait for the quarterfinals.]

As the season moved into the second half of the season, Hamburg still couldn’t miss three cups, so most of the pros predicted that Hamburg could miss everything to get it all.

The biggest reason is that the depth of the players, the stamina of the players, and the fact that there are many young players on the team, which is close to being held for the three competitions.

He pointed out that the only players with various experiences are Mattis de Ligt, Kai Havertz, and Alfie Manning, who signed this time.

“What do you think?”

At Virgil van Dyke’s question, Jae-Jin Song burst into laughter as if it was not worth responding to.

“Is anything true about Hamburg where people who say they are experts are saying?”

“Not much. But it is also an issue that should not be overlooked. Anyway, that’s not wrong because young players who don’t have that much experience right now are quite excited and there’s always a problem in situations like this.”

At Virgil’s words, Song Jae-jin nodded his head.

It was because he was a problem he was also aware of.

“It would be ambiguous. At what level should I take this? Players are excited anyway because it means they keep momentum and that can lead to good results or bad results.”

It was as Virgil said.

Currently, training in Hamburg is on the schedule of the Champions League.

Hamburg, who was more relaxed after winning the first leg 3-0 against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the round of 16, was looking forward to a match against Manchester United, which is predicted to advance to the quarter-finals over Atletico Madrid.

However, there was one hurdle to overcome before Hamburg could reach the Champions League round of 16 second leg.

It was the Pokal Cup quarterfinals match against Dortmund.

However, if the players are floating, mistakes can happen anytime, anywhere, and if the mistakes come from an important game point, there is a possibility that it will lead to irreversible mistakes.

“But it’s also true that we have to catch up. And I think now is the best time.”

At Song Jae-jin’s answer, Virgil smiled and nodded his head.

—

“What are you doing now! You have to narrow the pass direction as much as possible! If you move like that, you’re just opening it up to score a goal! Don’t you and the defense call each other?!”

Virgil van Dijk drove the players with a savage expression at the midfielder’s mistake in the attacking situation.

“Everyone, calm down! Don’t you know that now is the most important time? That’s why you’re going to take over the trophy? It’s a no-brainer!”

At the same time, the players’ mood subsided at Virgil’s rant, and at the same time, the veteran Mattais de Ligtna Kai Havertz bowed his head with bright eyes.

“How do you go to a game with that kind of mind?”

When Virgil left his seat in anger, veterans such as Matais de Ligt and Kai Havertz encouraged the players.

“Everyone, calm down. I’m talking about calming down. Just looking at the current situation, no matter how much training you have, the back space is completely open. Against Manchester United, a mistake like this would lead to a goal. Then the Champions League schedule will end in the quarterfinals.”

The players who heard that also nodded their heads to see how much they understood, but not all of them had the same attitude and behavior.

“But you are still winning. Even if we were to lose the whole season, we only lost 1 loss in the Champions League group stage and 1 loss in the league, isn’t it too much?”

“Well. However, other people are right. If you make a mistake while being excited like this, it’s literally over in an instant.”

“Still, there is a flow. It’s just that the atmosphere has gotten so bad, isn’t it counterproductive? And if the players who are starting now are missing, will they be able to win the game in the future? Even if it’s just the Dortmund Pokal Cup right now, it’s a one-sided match, so we have to win unconditionally.”

“Well. Still, it’s director Song Jae-jin.”

Jaejin Song. The players who talked to that word were feeling an unknown feeling of insecurity.

So, after training, Song Jae-jin gathered the players and floated the board.

“I will reveal the starting lineup against Dortmund in advance.”

Song Jae-jin raised the names of the players one by one with a blunt expression.

And the roar of the growing squad.

The list of players that appeared on the board was because most of the names of recently excited players were omitted.

Even on the bench.

“Obviously I said it. He said he would set the starting lineup based on his attitude at the training ground. And the recent performances you showed at the training ground are disappointing.”

Song Jae-jin looked around the players with a cold expression.

“If you thought Hamburg would lose without you, you would be wrong.”

At that moment, the players, recognizing the Awakened of the situation, stiffened their faces and wrinkled their lips as if they had a lot to say.

Hamburg’s starting lineup for the Pokal Cup quarterfinals was Marco Martin, Mathis de Ligt, Lucas Kloss, Sebastian Kiefer, Alfie Manning, Kevin Nash, Lucas Royce, Valentin Ludwig, Kai Havertz, Andrew Graham and Oliver Tennant.

Literally just two lineups.

It was an unconventional lineup that missed most of the starters except for veterans.

And at the same time, it is said that they are the players who did their best on the field even when the players who started mainly to seize the opportunity to participate are floating.

It was a golden opportunity to reward the hard-working players with the opportunity to compete on an important stage, and to raise the alarm for those who lost a little bit of pride.

And Song Jae-jin started training by dividing the former Dortmund starters and other players as if waiting.

“Kai. Your role is to attack. In fact, it is enough for you to lead the offensive line.”

“Yeah.”

“Just leave the defense to the defense. Alfie Manning will do the karate link. You only think of leading the offensive line.”

“If it’s Alfie, you can trust it.”

He nodded as he had already dealt with Manchester United several times while at Chelsea.

There are most important facts. It was the fact that Hamburg’s defensive line and the Volanci defending it were very reliable.

“Feel free to run. Do whatever you want.”

At Song Jae-jin’s words, Kai Havertz smiled as if it would be fun.

“My heart is beating after a long time. I thought it wouldn’t happen now. Against Dortmund.”

“That means that Kai Havertz believes in you.”

At Song Jae-jin’s words, Kai Havertz trembled and burst into laughter.

“It’s a burden, aren’t you trying to leave it to me?”

“surely? Hahaha. I’m sorry, but I told you guys the goal of a double, but my personal goal is a treble.”

Upon hearing Song Jae-jin’s goal, Kai Havertz smiled and nodded his head.

“That’s a goal I like. I may have to buy an additional trophy box at the end of the year.”

“No, it would be better to order now. In order to display the Pokal and Champions League trophy in the league, we need to prepare in advance.”

Song Jae-jin answered with a firm expression without any doubt.

[There was an article about Hamburg in the newspaper a while ago. It was an article that it is realistic to give up the Pokal Cup even in order to focus on the league and the Champions League.][Director Jae-jin Song may have read the article, but if you look at Hamburg’s starting lineup today, well. It is clear that Hamburg have given up on the Pokal Cup to save the stamina of their main players.][The intention is to focus on the league or Champions League that Bayern Munich are trailing by a narrow margin.]

It wasn’t just the commentary, most people watching the game had similar thoughts.

“I don’t know what you think.”

Before the match, Jae-Jin Song gathered his players and continued his speech.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I’m not using you guys in games to at least lose. I sent you guys out to win.”

As Song Jae-jin’s low-pitched words continued, the players’ eyes filled with light.

“Maybe I’m like this, but aren’t you idiots who think it’s hard on your own? At least none of the players I know lose before they try.”

Song Jae-jin smiled and pointed to the locker room door.

“If there are no idiots here, we’re just letting the idiots talking outside know that we’re not giving up. Do you understand?!”

“Yeah!”

After Song Jae-jin’s words were finished, the players left the locker room, expressing their longing for victory with their whole body.

Last game in February.

The Hamburg players were seated at Signal Iduna Park, the home stadium of Dortmund.

Hamburg fans who came to cheer on the away looked worried.

Dortmund’s home fans were already showing an atmosphere of victory.

“Don’t doubt what director Song Jae-jin said.”

said Sebastian Kiefer, wearing the captain’s armband.

“Director Jae-Jin Song is not a talker and think about the training we did. It wasn’t like losing this game and preparing for the next game.”

At the word training, the players frowned for a moment.

The players’ training for the Dortmund match was literally hell.

In particular, in tactical training, it was because he showed a relentless image as if he was hitting him in the head.

—

“Hey! Kevin! Stick tighter! Block the space to pass!”

Dortmund’s attack situation.

Sebastian Keeper reacted as he had trained, blocking Dortmund’s attack route and at the same time shouting at the other players.

The card that Song Jae-jin pulled out in this match against Dortmund was a tactic to suffocate Dortmund from the front, based on a counterattack after the first defense.
