It will be challenging for Van Nistelrooy's physical fitness to have him complete two away games in four days and dozens of hours of travel, so this time the physical coach Rebecca will also use the skills of a personal trainer.
Identity went on this long trip with Fan Ni and Chen Zhuo.
Although the effect of promoting the transformation and increase of pink muscle groups through nutrition and training is not bad, Ruud van Nistelrooy is already 34 years old after all. As an ordinary person, this age is the prime of life, but for a professional football player, physical fitness and competitiveness are not enough.
However, the state is already in a period of decline and decline after the peak. This has to be admitted.
Even though he knew that it might affect Van Nistelrooy's physical fitness and competitive status, Chen Zhuo still proposed it, and Moniz did not object in the end, which means that Chen Zhuo must have a purpose.
In fact, if it were not for the cancellation of European flights, Chen Zhuo would probably arrange for more players to come to Hoffenheim, because this is not just a Bundesliga game.
According to the compiled information, Hoffenheim’s overall style is very similar to that of Fulham! Because of the coaching philosophy of Hoffenheim’s current head coach Ralf Rangnick, he is influenced by the “English Model School”, that is, Hodgson
The influence of that theory is very profound!

Among the information collected about Rangnick, there is a short film, which was a famous sports program in Germany in December 1998. Ralf Rangnick, who was coaching at Ulm in the German Bundesliga 2 at the time, was holding a magnetic tactical board in the short film.
, explaining the four-back parallel positioning and zone defense tactics he adopted.
At that time, for Germany, where most teams were using a sweeper defense system, Rangnick's England 4-4-2 model was ridiculed as useless, and Rangnick received the mocking nickname "Professor".
In the following years, Rangnick brought his "four-back parallel positioning and zone defense" tactical system to the ups and downs in the German Bundesliga B. He was not bad during his time in Stuttgart, and then led Hannover from the Bundesliga B to the Bundesliga.
level, then
In the two seasons of Schalke 04, he won two league runner-ups and one cup runner-up. He is also the coach with the best coaching performance of Schalke's "Royal Blues". His 88 points in 44 games even exceeded
Former coach Heynckes.
In 2006, Rangnick accepted Hope's sincere invitation and came to Hoffenheim. At this time, Hoffenheim was still a third-tier team. It was precisely because of the team's strict implementation of Rangnick's tactical system and training system that he
Created the "Miracle of Huocun" in which they were promoted to the second division in the 0607 season, promoted to the first division in the 0708 season, and won the half-season championship in the first half of the 0809 season!

People are always accustomed to paying attention to the winners and interpreting and summarizing their victories according to their own customary thinking. For the "Miracle of Huocun", people are very accustomed to thinking of Chelsea owner Abramovich and the Arab consortium behind Manchester City. For Lan
Nick's tactical system is rarely discussed.
Hope is different from Abramovich and the Arab consortium. A large part of Hope's investment was spent on hardware investment. It cost 90 million euros just to build two stadiums and Hoffenheim's training facilities. In addition, it also invested
40 million euros were used to upgrade youth training facilities, which gave Hoffenheim the best hardware facilities in the Bundesliga after Bayern.
From taking over in 1990 to being promoted to Serie A in 2007, the total investment in 17 years was 175 million euros, of which 130 million was spent on hardware. This investment is completely different from the lavish spending of money on signings by Abramovich and the Arab consortium. In terms of signings,
Hope only invested a total of 25 million euros, and the remaining 0 million euros responsible for the team's daily expenses were provided as reserves to the team's management team through loans.
Therefore, it is unfair to call Hoffenheim the "Chelsea of the Bundesliga" or the "Manchester City of the Bundesliga". The only thing their three teams have in common is probably that they all wear blue jerseys at home.

For Ralph Rangnick, he is more than ten years younger than Hodgson and Horton. During his player days, Rangnick was just a player in the lower leagues. In the 1987 season, he served as a player and assistant coach in a team called Lippolds.
Will retired from the fourth division club and transferred to the second team of Stuttgart to coach.
During Rangnick's tenure as a player, the "English model" of four-back parallel positions and zone defense theory had begun to compete with the "sweeper" system in football. In the early days of Rangnick's coaching, there was no doubt that he would receive
Zhongtian had a great influence on the AC Milan team with the "Dutch Three Musketeers". At that time, Rangnick would record every Milan game coached by Sacchi for analysis and study.
While studying the AC Milan game, Rangnick also developed a strong interest in the coaching and tactics of another team, that is, the Italian Foggia club who drew with the powerful Mulan in both home and away games in the 1989 season. This is the Foggia club.
The first Serie A season.
In 1989, under the leadership of Czech coach Zeman, the Foggia team made two consecutive jumps in two years and was promoted from Italian Serie C to Serie A. In its first season in Serie A, it suddenly emerged and won the UEFA Cup with the top six in Serie A.
qualifications.
At that time, Eastern European teams and Nordic teams were basically influenced by the theories of Horton and Hodgson, and Czech coach Zeman was no exception. Therefore, Rangnick's subsequent coaching style could often reveal Sacchi and Zeman.
shadow.
After taking over Hoffenheim in 2006, he made two consecutive jumps and won the Bundesliga half-time championship in his first season. In summary, it seems to be a replica of Foggia years ago, or Rangnick also used this method to pay tribute to his teacher Zeman.
Pay tribute.

After tracing back to the source, it will be very easy to explain Hoffenheim's tactical system.
The tactic of four defenders standing in parallel is more conducive to the defense of the wing than the sweeper tactical system. After all, in the sweeper tactical system, a central defender is always dragged behind the back line. Between the sweeper and the back line
In terms of the distance between them, the opponent can ambush from the two wings and get behind the full-back quickly without going offside.
Of course, all tactics have pros and cons. The parallel positioning tactic requires the four defenders to defend one-on-one, because behind them is the goalkeeper, and there is no sweeper to provide support behind them.
Horton's failure in China that year was also due to the weak one-on-one defensive ability of the Chinese defenders. No matter which one of the four defenders made a mistake, it was a fatal blow.
The parallel positioning of four defenders and zone defense strengthens the defense of the wing. In the middle, it is strengthened by double midfielders. In fact, when the defenders on both sides take turns to provide assists, it can even be understood as four players in the midfield.
It's the defenders. The two center backs are double sweepers, and the two full backs are two fast horses ambushing behind the midfielder. If you understand it this way, you will no longer say that it doesn't matter if the midfielder's defensive ability is weaker.
question.

In Hoffenheim's tactics, you can vaguely see the shadow of AC Milan during the Sacchi era.
AC Milan, which was at its peak at that time, did not stick to the parallel positioning of four defenders or the three-in-one-back positioning of the sweeper system. Everything depended on the opponent's wing breakthrough ability. For a winger with strong wing assault ability and speed,
For fast teams, Sacchi will also use sweeper Baresi and marking center back Costacurta to adopt a parallel positioning zone defense mode.
Hoffenheim's two central defenders are obviously not comparable to Baresi and Costacurta in terms of personal ability. The 31-year-old Croatian central defender Simunic and the 18-year-old Alex form a double central defender.
It is an old team leading a new team, and there are two high school defenders. Simunic is 1.95 meters tall and Alex is 1.93 meters tall.
This double-height combination is somewhat similar to Fulham's Han Gelan and Smalling, but on Hoffenheim's roster, 18-year-old Alex is on the bench, and the other one is on loan from Fiorentina.
Marvin Campbell is paired with Simunic.
This combination is very similar to the combination of Hangelan and Baird in the match between Fulham and Hamburg, which controlled the first and second landing points respectively.
For Hamburg and Chen Zhuo's "double free man", this is also a preview for Fulham. Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy will practice how to break through the last line of defense where the four backs are positioned in parallel.
Compared with Fulham's ferocity, Hoffenheim also has this characteristic. Simunic and Marvin Combe both received cards very frequently, and Simunic also had one game in the 2006 World Cup in Germany due to the referee.
A funny case of accidentally receiving three yellow cards.

Among the shadows of AC Milan, the most indelible ones are the Dutch Three Musketeers, left back Maldini, left midfielder Ronaldinho, point-grabbing monster Inzaghi, and free kick master Pirlo. These are all in Hoffenheim
, all have some copycat versions.
The Rijkaard imitation is the 1.87-meter Brazilian midfielder Gustavo. This player born in 1987 was loaned to Hoffenheim from a low-level Brazilian league in the 2007 season. In the 2008 season, Hoffenheim
Using his right of priority to sign a contract for 1 million euros, this player has now been spotted by Bayern, and the offer has exceeded 10 million euros.
Carlos Eduardo, known as Ronaldinho copycat in Brazil, is also a Brazilian player. He was recruited by Hoffenheim before the start of the first Bundesliga season. The transfer fee paid to Brazilian Gremio at that time was 8 million euros.
Now Eduardo's net worth has risen to one million euros.
The one who is called Eto'o's copycat is Nigerian striker Obasi. He has the same stature and speed as an African cheetah, and adapts well to Hoffenheim's direct pass counterattack system.
The one who is called a copycat of Inzaghi is Bosnia and Herzegovina forward Ibisevic, along with Obasi and Eduardo, who came to Hoffenheim before the 2008 season and only spent 250,000 euros in transfer fees from Hoffenheim.
Ibisevic can be said to be of high quality and low price. The half-time championship of Huocun Miracle is inseparable from Ibisevic's high scoring volume of 18 goals in 17 league games.
During the winter break of the 0809 season, Ibisevic strained his cruciate ligament in a warm-up match and took more than five months to recover. At the beginning of the 0910 season, he scored a hat trick against Hertha Berlin in the third round and recovered.
The degree is satisfactory.
By the way, in the warm-up match when Ibisevic was injured, the opponent was Hamburg...
At the same price as Ibisevic, right midfielder Salihovic, who is also a Bosnian player, is already considered a veteran of Hoffenheim. He is the Bundesliga second assists leader and the hero of promotion. He is still Hoffenheim's main force on the court.
He is also the only player who has completed the triple jump from the C-League with Hoffenheim and has played the main position in the team's three leagues.
Hoffenheim has improved a lot together. This player, who came to Germany to escape the war when he was 8 years old, and later joined the Hertha Berlin youth training camp, has no objections as the captain of Hoffenheim.

Forwards "Copycat Eto'o" Obasi and "Copycat Inzaghi" Ibisevic both started today, which is a test for the two "hinges" of the Hamburg team, which mainly relies on substitutes.
There are four midfielders, the left midfielder is the "copycat Ronaldinho" Eduardo, the right midfielder is the "Bundesli second assists king" Salihovich, and the double midfielders include the "copycat Rijkaard" Gustavo and Tobia
Weiss, among these four players, Weiss, who transferred from Stuttgart, is the main player who transferred from the Bundesliga in the 2007 season and is currently on the German national team's roster.
The four defenders playing today are Marvin Campbell and Simunic. The right defender is Andreas Baker, who is currently on Loew's national team roster, and the left defender is Brazil's 32-year-old defender Christian, who is also on the field.
The oldest player on the planet.
The similarity with Fulham's defense is that both the left and right full-backs are both offensive and defensive. The left-back among the two full-backs is one of the weak points. The combination style of the two center backs is also very similar, so Chen Zhuohe
It's perfect for Ruud van Nistelrooy's "double free man" combination to use Hoffenheim as a warm-up model!
