This season's strengthening of Bremen's offensive and defensive ends, in addition to the brilliance of Ozil, there is also a young midfielder who also plays an important role. Philipp Bagfred, who has just passed his 21st birthday, wears 44
The young player in the No. 1 jersey has been successfully transformed by Schaff this season into another "f" (all-round midfielder), as well as Torsten Frings.
In English, the penalty area is penalty-area, also known as f", that is, from this penalty area to that penalty area, it refers to the midfielder's activity area, so it is translated as "all-around midfielder". f"
It means the same thing, but this omnipotence refers to its range of activities. Generally, this kind of midfielder comes to the opponent's box to participate in the offense and is not responsible for organizing the offense.
This kind of "box-to-box" midfielder is an indispensable position in offensive football. Another midfielder of Bremen, Thorsten Frings, is the first all-round midfielder that Schaff successfully transformed.
, 10 years ago, 24-year-old Torsten Frings was transferred from forward to all-round midfielder under Schaff. After two seasons of experience,
In 2002, Torsten Frings was called up by the German team to participate in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. From then on, he stayed firmly as the main defensive midfielder of the German national team for ten years. In the ten years, he only missed 2 major international competitions for the German team.
, maintaining the attendance record. In this year's World Cup, 34-year-old Thorsten Frings may be called up by Loew.
The performance of the 21-year-old Bagfred this season has already led some to call him the successor of Torsten Frings. Schaff seems to have this intention as well. This combination of old and new, taking turns to attack,
Take full advantage of Thorsten Frings' experience and Bagfred's physical advantages.
However, Bagfred's weakness lies in his basic physical condition. He is 1.74 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms. In terms of air supremacy and physical confrontation, he is inferior to Torsten Frings, who is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms.
, somewhat inferior.
In view of Bagfred's strengths and weaknesses, Schaff arranged in the midfield Borowski, who returned from Bayern Munich this season, another main midfielder of the German national team, with a height of 1.94 meters, making Boro
Fsky can make up for Bagfred's shortcomings in air superiority.
Another midfielder is the organizing midfielder, Ozil. This Turkish-born player was Trochowski's substitute when he joined the German national team in early February 2009. In just one year, Ozil
It has replaced Trokhovsky's main position. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach.

In addition to the three German internationals Frings, Borowski, and Ozil, Marin on the bench is also a member of the German national team. In contrast, among the five players in Hamburg’s midfield,
In addition to the young player Best, the four players Trochowski, Yarolim, Berg, and Ruud van Nistelrooy are also at the national level, but in terms of personal ability, Hamburg's midfielder is still inferior.
Laime is a little bit worse.
The midfield is slightly weaker, but Hamburg's back line is stronger than Bremen's.
On Bremen's back line, the 25-year-old Mertesacker is the main central defender of the German team. With a height of 1.98 meters, Mertesacker not only has excellent air defense capabilities, but also is the German team and Bremen's set-piece tactics.
One of the important scoring points for the May team.
Partnering with Mertesacker is the Brazilian national team's substitute center back, the 1.92-meter Nardo, and the two full-backs on the left and right are 30-year-old Finnish left-back Petri Pasanen, and 30-year-old right winger
Defender Clemens Fritz.
Although Nardo, Pasanen and Fritz are all at the international level, all three have obvious shortcomings. Nardo and Pasanen focus on defense and light offense, which is not the case in Bremen, which has no shortage of offensive players.
Able to balance, Schaaf has always been good at using players' strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and he also has
Clemence Fritz, the "Bundesliga assist king" in the 2000 season, Nardeau and Pasanen are dedicated to defense. Fritz uses his assist skills and Mertesacker provides dispatching and command. This combination can indeed maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Balanced, but afraid that opponents will use tactics to suppress their strengths and break the balance.
At the peak of his career, Fritz was also called up to the German national team by Klinsmann and Loew, but more often than not he was asked to play as a substitute for Schweinsteiger on the right midfield and as a defensive right back.
In terms of function, Fritz is indeed a bit weak, and playing right back in the national team is a bit worrying.
It can even be said that Fritz's right wing is Bremen's main weakness in conceding goals this season and last season. The introduction of Borowski this season is to make up for Fritz's deficiencies in defense on the right wing.
Relatively speaking, the defense of Ogo, Boateng, and Matheson will not have obvious weaknesses and shortcomings like Werder Bremen. In the German team roster for this World Cup, Hamburg's Ogo, Boateng,
Janssen is among Loew's call-ups. Hamburg accounts for 3 of the 8 defenders on the roster. Bayern Munich has
That is to say, two people, Lahm and Badstuber, were selected, and the other three were Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker, Stuttgart's Taschi and Hertha Berlin's Friedrich. This also shows that this season
Hamburg's defense line and the personal abilities and cooperation of Hamburg's rear players also received Loew's approval.
In addition, there is Chen Zhuo, the last level of the chain defense, this... It is indeed difficult to make comparisons with such a phenomenal Mr. Surprise.

In terms of tactics, it is not just about arranging the players, finding the source and core of the opponent's offense and freezing them, which is the true meaning of defense.
Werder Bremen still has many attacking sources. Organizing midfielder Ozil is the first focus. The "hinge" arranged by Chen Zhuo is basically aimed at Ozil, the young player Best and the right back.
Boateng is the two lines of defense arranged on the left side that Ozil is accustomed to, a double reamer.
If Ozil chooses to cut in instead of playing from the left, the defense line composed of Jarolim and Matthiessen will not be weaker than the Bister-Boateng defense line.
If Ozil switches to the right, Trochowski and his national team teammate Ogo, who are familiar with Ozil's style, can also fully block the attack.
At the end of the three vertical defense lines, there is Chen Zhuo. No matter which vertical line Ozil breaks through, he faces not two defenders, but three. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who plays as a defensive midfielder, will break through from his position.
A pressing action was taken.
Then, the source of Bremen's attack was through right midfielder Borowski's high-point ferry, right back Fritz's wing assist, and center back Per Mertesacker's long pass.
These will eventually be implemented by two forwards, the 1.90-meter Portuguese forward Hugo Almeida and the 1.84-meter Peruvian forward. Claudio is currently the top scorer in the Europa League with Chen Zhuo with 9 goals.
Pizarro, both of them are point-grabbing forwards in Bremen's offensive system.
Almeida has always been an auxiliary attack method in the Portuguese team of the European Latin school who is good at ground attack. Although Pizarro's height of 1.84 meters does not have an advantage on the field full of people, his excellent sense of grabbing points makes him
Earned the nickname "Andes Bomber".
These two forwards are both within the top 15 in goals scored in the Bundesliga. Their weaknesses are also similar. Neither is good at dribbling the ball and passing through. They rely more on the midfielder to control the first and second players.
Fighting for placement, and the fact that both of them are not very stable, so Pizarro, who has dual nationality of Italy and Peru, can only play for the Peruvian national team and cannot be called up by the Italian team.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides started fighting and fighting in the midfield. Within five minutes, Ozil's attempts to attack from the left, center and right directions were all seen through. Not only did Best beat Ozil on his right wing,
His attack destroyed the sideline, and he was able to catch up with Ozil with speed when he cut in from the center. Although the referee called a foul for this steal with his legs extended behind his back, it also shows that this little guy is not afraid of Ozil at all.
Then it was time to go to the right. Trochowski was entangled with Ozil, forcing Ozil to pass back. As a result, the ball was intercepted by Ruud van Nistelrooy and then passed through. After going to the right, Ozil and Bo
Rovsky changed positions, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's pass allowed Gasson to single out right back Fritz.
Although the result of the first one-on-one was that Fritz successfully broke the ball out of the sideline, Schaff also discovered that the Hamburg team was fully prepared today, especially the performance of the two young men born in the 1990s, which was beyond his expectations.
Schaff watched the last 9:0 Nuremberg game. In that game, Nuremberg collapsed early and all the Hamburg players performed beyond their standards. In fact, there is not much reference value.
