In a certain sense, the significance of this contest between Hamburg and Fulham can be extended.
This is first of all to test the gap between the upper-middle Bundesliga teams and the mid-tier Premier League teams. Judging from the rankings of Hamburg and Fulham in their respective leagues this season, as well as their respective distances from European competitions next season, Hamburg is better than Fulham.
of.
Secondly, Chen Zhuo, who was temporarily promoted to join the "coaching staff", is a newcomer who has not received systematic training and does not have much theoretical foundation and practical experience. Hodgson is an old man with more than 30 years of theoretical foundation and has been tested in actual leagues in many countries.
.
Third, Chen Zhuo’s wonderful “chain defense + free man” tactics and Hodgson’s “classic 4-4-2” happen to be the two classic tactical schools in Europe, Hamburg’s “German Academic School” and Fuller’s
Tom's "English Model School" can also be regarded as tit-for-tat.
No one has proposed "double hinges + double free agents" yet. It was just a game, and no one regarded the formation against Mainz as Hamburg's "new tactical system."

When submitting the roster this time, Chen Zhuo had another thought in mind. He submitted a 4-3-3 roster, with Ruud van Nistelrooy at the center position. Now everyone was satisfied, and no one said anything about Chen Zhuo putting Ruud van Nistelrooy in the center position.
Going to the back line is a "waste".
In the 4-3-3 roster, the two forwards are Elia and Berg, the center is Ruud Ruud, and the three midfielders from left to right are Ogo, Yarolim, and Trokhovsky.
Ogo was brought up from the left back and positioned between the defensive midfielder and the left midfielder, forming a defense against Danny Murphy, Fulham's right attacking point.
For Fulham's two offensive points on the left, Duff and Koncheski, Trochowski will be the first line of defense, followed by Boateng, Berg will be between Duff and Koncheski.
Position in the middle, ready to steal Konchesky at any time, and be ready to counterattack from this point.
The four defenders on the registration list are Demel, Rozenar, Chen Zhuo and Boateng. The goalkeeper Rost has returned from injury and will be the starting goalkeeper for this game.
In fact, it is a configuration of three central defenders and one deeper. Ogo is a left back who stands more advanced.

The progress of the game was as expected. Just as the evaluation said, "Every minute and second in the game can be explained theoretically, can be used as intuitive teaching examples in training, and can be regarded as an integral part of the game."
Part of it.”
The Hamburg players all had the same feeling. They kept passing and running, but found themselves surrounded by Fulham no matter where they were!
In this game, the two "reamers" on the "hinge" are Ogo and Boateng.
Demel helps defend Ogo, and Chen Zhuo helps defend Boateng. No matter which combination completes the steal, the ball will be passed to Rozenar and Yarolim in the middle, who will pass it to Elia and Berg depending on the situation.
, Trochowski or Ruud Ruud.
It can be seen that Fulham came here for a zero-0 today. The four midfielders, with an average age of over 30, paid great attention to saving energy. Neither Danny Murphy nor Duff made any move to speed up the sprint. Although
Direct counterattacks were unable to penetrate Hamburg's defense, but they still persisted.
The key is that the sense of distance between the Fulham players is too strong. No matter which Hamburg player the ball is passed to by Rozenar and Yarolim, there must be a Fulham player nearby, and Elia
There will be defenders on the breakthrough line, Trochowski will be blocked in the dribbling line, and there will always be a big man to interrupt the cooperation between Berg and Ruud...
Ten minutes passed. The two teams were fighting in the middle of the penalty area. No one had a shot.
Regardless of whether they are in the Premier League or the Europa League, Fulham's games are criticized a lot, that is, they are not good to watch.
Fulham is also a typical home and away game. As of now, Fulham has 2 away games left this season. Among the 17 away games that have ended, Fulham has only won 1 game, and there are 7 draws and 7 games.
Defeat. Thanks to the current 10 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at home, Fulham can occupy the mid-table position.
But there is another statistic. In the three rounds of six rounds of the Europa League knockout stage, Fulham scored in every game. Except for the 1:3 away game against Juventus, Fulham scored in every game.
Conceded a goal in four of the five games and did not concede a goal in one game.

"Swedish Sports Illustrated" once debated "whether the teams affected by this style have lost their appreciation of the surname" during the "Two Heroes" era of Hodgson and Horton. Fans of both Hodgson and Swedish senior football commentators
The player gave two examples. He said: "Seeing this style of football
It's like listening to Glenn Miller and then Charlie Parker, or looking at Picasso after seeing classical landscape paintings. The difference between the two is not only reflected in the aesthetic sense. You can only start from the latter's higher level.
Only through layered art can we appreciate the structural beauty of music and art.”
In his example, Glenn Miller and Charlie Parker are both jazz masters. The former is easy to appreciate; the latter is more difficult. You need to understand the structure of his music before you can appreciate its beauty. Generally speaking, for us,
Just like appreciating pop music and appreciating symphony, they have similar feelings to the public. One is easy to understand and easily resonates, while the other is highbrow but very intoxicating for those who understand it.
This metaphor is a bit far-fetched and obscure, but it also makes sense. It just inspired Chen Zhuo. You need to understand its structure to appreciate music. If it is broken into several paragraphs, it will not be so easy to intoxicate. Unlike popular music, it is not so easy to be intoxicated.
The music is like that, and the chorus part alone is equally catchy.
Use a "reamer" to dismantle his structure, making it impossible to maintain his formation! If the formation cannot be maintained, then how to implement regional defense? This is the "principle of confrontational tactics" envisioned by Chen Zhuo before the game.
In terms of details, seven goals conceded by Fulham in the six games of the Europa League knockout stage were analyzed. Three of them were corner kicks, two relied on personal ability to break through the defense and shot, one single shot after a breakthrough, and one long shot after a breakthrough. In addition,
There were also two goals, both of which were played back in the penalty area during a positional battle, with players in the back row shooting unmarked.
Then, the reamer dismantles the structure and destroys the overall surname of its defense. In view of the characteristics of their corner kick tactics that do not have a "standard formation", they create more opportunities for corner kicks and frontcourt free kicks! In the positional attack, the personal breakthrough is given to Elia, who is far away
Shoot with Chen Zhuo, pass back after the breakthrough or make a pass from the cannon, Elia or Berg can do it!
After about ten minutes of testing, Chen Zhuo decided to officially start the tactics prepared before the game!
(five)
Trochowski made a direct pass, and Boateng, who started quickly, turned around and collided with Duff...
The grinning Duff was so stunned that the muscles on this black guy's body were like iron! It really hurt!
The referee's call was still Fulham's blocking foul. Duff did block the ball, but the black boy clearly had no intention of slowing down or avoiding it. He just bumped into it on purpose!
Hamburg's half-time free kick, Trochowski passed it back to Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo broke through the center with the ball, and after several passes with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Yarolim in the center, Chen Zhuo passed the ball diagonally to the left to Austria.
Go...
Ogo, who was fighting for the top, collided with Danny Murphy in the air. Poor 34-year-old Danny Murphy was an "old bone" and became a victim of Hamburg's "reamer" tactics.
This time the referee whistled for a foul on Ogo when he was fighting for the top. It was also a collision. It was obvious that Ogo's actions were not as clean as Boateng's.
After two collisions, Hodgson frowned. Frankly speaking, being able to withstand the damage caused by the opponent's body collision is the basic requirement of the "English model" style classic 442. Is English football still afraid of collisions? It's a joke! It's just a joke!
However, the four players in the midfield are not as good as they were back then, especially Danny Murphy, who is 34 years old. Try it with the 34-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy or the 37-year-old Ze Roberto!
After two consecutive collisions, Fulham's captain Simon Davies got a little angry, especially since the referee had no intention of playing cards. Oh dear, Hamburg's home court is really difficult to play!
As soon as the second ten minutes of the first half started, the smell of gunpowder in the air became even stronger!
Next, Etuhu fouled Chen Zhuo when he was stealing. Then the two old captains Yarolim and Simon Davis bumped into each other again. Boateng and Duff, Ogo and Danny Murphy were even more inseparable.
Frequently entangled together...
A collision is a collision, and neither side has any additional malicious foul actions, nor does it mean to injure or cripple the other party. It is a bit like a competition. If you don't obey me, I won't obey you...
Hodgson quit. He went to the sidelines to organize the players to participate in this kind of fighting spirit. He didn't remember how old he was or something. He was like Danny Murphy, a 34-year-old "old bone". How many times can you collide with the opponent?
After spending so much energy, you might as well have fallen into the opponent's trap!
The Germans are difficult to deal with. In the last round of away game against Wolfsburg, it was because of Zamora's miraculous goal that could not be replicated in the first 23 seconds, coupled with the use of the "muscle jungle" to strictly defend.
They defended a 1:0 victory, but unexpectedly, the Hamburg team came up this time and used the "Muscle Jungle" to deal with them.

"Beep~~~" The referee interrupted the game again with a long whistle and quickly ran to the scene of the accident. Elia was rolling on the ground covering his face in pain...
Konchesky felt aggrieved and angry, and he was always bumping into each other. Why did a "acting" person suddenly show up!
And if you don't break through from your side, why are you coming here? Haven't you heard that this Dutchman basically doesn't break through from this side? Could it be that he just came here specifically to throw me down?
