In the match against Schalke 04, Chen Zhuo's performance was still eye-catching. In the 40th minute of the first half, Ruud van Nistelrooy was tripped outside the penalty area. Hamburg got a free kick opportunity about 22 meters away from the goal. Chen Zhuo's free kick was missed by Neuer.
After struggling to block, the center post bounced into the small penalty area, and Ruud van Nistelrooy made a follow-up shot from 8 meters away from the goal.
The goal was scored in the first half of the away game, which was a small probability event for Schalke 04. However, in response to Chen Zhuo's free kick and Ruud van Nistelrooy's follow-up shot, Neuer tried his best. Head coach Maga
Te can only accept reality.
After the start of the second half, Magath made corresponding adjustments to the lineup, moving the Brazilian national team's main right back Rafinha, who is 1.72 meters tall, from the right back position to the left back position, and let the German national team's center back, who is 1.87 meters tall, move from the right back position to the left back position.
Hewedes switched to the right back position, mainly marking the tall Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In the first half, Schalke 04's four defenders were, from left to right, Westmann, Bordon, Hewedes, Rafinha, and Bordon La, who was standing in parallel positions at 1.89 meters tall.
Finha's Brazilian national team teammate, the 1.90-meter-tall Westmann, is Höwedes' German national team teammate. Schalke 04's defense is precisely the cooperation of these four German and Brazilian internationals.
That's why it's so stable.
After the adjustment, the 34-year-old Bordon and the 19-year-old Westerman changed from parallel positions to front-to-back positions. The entire Schalke 04 defensive system is a bit like a "chain" with Bordon as the sweeper.
Although he was one goal behind, Magath still insisted on playing defensive counterattack and made corresponding arrangements for Hamburg's forward combination of Van Nistelrooy + Petlic.
The adjusted Schalke 04 defense became more stable. Ten minutes into the second half, Magath replaced Peruvian forward Jefferson Farfan with No. 11 Baumjohn. The latter performed mediocrely in the first half and failed to score.
It can give the team's top forward Kuranyi more support.
Baumjohn is characterized by his delicate footwork and extraordinary agility. In the 2007 season against Stuttgart, the 19-year-old Baumjohn came on as a substitute in the second half. It was his Bundesliga debut. Shortly after his appearance, he made a series of breakthroughs.
It was a feast for the eyes of the audience. The game was also broadcast live on CCTV. After Baumjohn made a pass, Duan Xuan exclaimed that Baumjohn was "Bundesliga Ronaldinho".
In terms of style, the 1.78-meter Baumjohn and the 1.74-meter Peruvian forward Farfan are similar in that they both use speed and dribbling skills to break through the opponent's defense.
After replacing Farfan, Baumjohn and another German international forward Kuranyi also changed positions on the field. The two forwards were not fixed on the left and right like Farfan and Kuranyi in the first half.
road, but frequently cross-transpose.

In the 62nd minute, Baumjohn kicked the ball from a 45-degree angle from the left into the small penalty area. Rozenar's header failed to clear the ball, and the ball was hit the back post. Kuranyi, who was outflanking the back post, made an emergency stop and hit the ball in Zhongyuan.
, quickly headed the ball into the goal before Rost blocked it.
Although Rozenar made a mistake, it was Magath's tactical adjustments that worked. After making several adjustments, Schalke 04 handed over the responsibility of offensive organization to Baumjohn, with Kuranyi responsible for running.
And grab points to give the opponent a fatal blow. The four midfielders all advance when attacking, move around in the opponent's penalty area, and retreat when defending to form a defensive ladder. They use abundant physical strength and running as the basis of the offensive and defensive tactical system.
In this game, Chen Zhuo played as a defensive midfielder. Magath arranged for his team's No. 10 player, the Croatian Rakitic, who serves as an offensive midfielder, to guard Chen Zhuo. When Chen Zhuo passed the center circle,
Cameroon midfielder Joel Matip, who is 1.93 meters tall, will strengthen his defense. Except for the free kick on the offensive end in the entire first half, Chen Zhuo actually did not get any chances.
In this game, several arrangements of Magath are very clear. The forward Kuranyi, who is 1.89 meters tall, is a "high-speed combination" in the traditional sense whether he is paired with Farfan or Baumjohn.
"The adjustment of the back line from a parallel position to a trailing chain is also a "classic routine" of traditional tactics.
The only things that have changed are the four "unstoppable" midfielders, Croatian midfielder Rakitic, the tall and powerful Cameroonian midfielder Joel Matip, and the aggressive German defender who is said to never die.
Midfielder Kruger, and Lucas Schmitz who focuses on defense and can play as a midfielder and defender.
The difference between Schalke 04 this season and last season is that Magath has strengthened the use of these four players to run and fight at both ends of the offense and defense, using the range of activities of this "unstoppable" midfielder to attack the team.
Make connections between offense and defense.
Therefore, Hao Junmin made two appearances after entering Schalke 04. One was as the starting left back, and the other was as a substitute for Kuranyi as a forward. He was never arranged to play the right midfielder position that he was good at in the Chinese Super League and the national team.
, that’s because Magath’s tactics place too high physical demands on midfielders, and Hao Junmin is still unable to adapt.

"Hamburg's midfielder is too old. Only Patton can keep up with their rhythm. At the beginning of the second half, it seems that they can't control their rhythm. If they play like this, Hamburg will be dragged down by them sooner or later..." Rogge
Watch the live broadcast and express your own opinions.
What Rogge said is true. The four starting midfielders for Hamburg today are Ze Roberto, Trokhovsky, Yarolim and Chen Zhuo. The 31-year-old Yarolim and the 36-year-old Ze Robert
Naturally, Tow was unable to keep up with the pace of Schalke's midfield. The 19-year-old Trokhovsky was not originally good at physical fitness, so it was quite difficult to follow.
In fact, today's contest between Hamburg and Schalke 04 is a midfield contest between the two sides. Schalke 04 is determined to pick up the pace, while Hamburg is determined to play steadily and suppress the fast pace that Schalke 04 is trying to play.
, until Baumjohn came on the field in the second half, both sides maintained a balance of suppressing each other.
Baumjohn's appearance is to break this balance.
More than 50 minutes of fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions have exhausted the Peruvian forward's physical strength. At this time, Baumjohn came on the court and crossed paths with Kuranyi, which also put forward higher requirements for Hamburg's midfielder's physical strength.
.
"Daniel, take a look, this goal fully reflects Magath's tactical thinking. In 7 minutes, from the substitution change to the goal, Labbadia did not react at all. It seems that Patton did not make any reaction.
Prepare accordingly..." Rogge commented very professionally.
Spangwitz nodded and said: "The captain on the field today is not Patton, but Yarolim, and after Bob John came on the field, Patton had arranged for Ruud van Nistelrooy to drop back to help defend, so it was not impossible to deal with it... But
, Stock, your eyes are still so sharp, I always think that you not being a football coach is a great loss to world football..."
Spanwitz's words have a flattering quality, but they are not completely irrelevant. Rogge is not only a rich man and the owner of a club, he also has an international A-level coaching certificate. When he was young, he aspired to be a football coach.
However, in the end, family interests surpassed his personal interests. In the end, Rogge chose to give up the coaching profession and become the owner of a football club, also considering that it was easier to control and improve a team at the head level.
Rogge laughed and said: "Of course, I also understand that this is not Patton's responsibility, but the age and physical structure of the Hamburg players cannot bear the impact of Schalke's midfield and frontcourt... I was just thinking,
Can Daniel Patton really accomplish this miracle that even Ruud Gurlitt has not fully accomplished?"
Rogge is still hesitating whether he can hand over Anderlecht's head coaching position and the core of the team to this Chinese player, and whether his shoulders can carry such a heavy burden!

Taking advantage of the kick in the circle, Magga pulled over Rakitic who ran to the sidelines to celebrate and said: "You will tell Bob and Kevin later and ask them to pay attention to the timing of changing positions and let Kevin be involved."
Take the Chinese, Alexander rushes past Ruud who is assisting in defense..."
Bob is Bob John, and Kevin is Kevin Kuranyi. Magath asked Rakitic to convey his tactical thoughts. While speaking, Magath made a gesture of turning his palm up and down...
Five minutes later, Bob John rolled in pain in the Hamburg penalty area. Ruud Ruud spread his hands to indicate that he had not committed a foul. The referee firmly pointed at the penalty spot, leaving no room for doubt...
