Schaff's tactics were predicted based on this "war-gaming". However, this tactic, which has been used nine times in ten years and has never failed, and the specific design made by the Hamburg coaching staff, can put an end to Schaff's magic.
Nitz was feeling uneasy. This kind of uneasiness was completely different from the kind of uneasiness that makes one feel helpless when faced with an unexpected situation.
But Schaff didn't know Moniz's true mood. He saw Ruud van Nistelrooy and Berg returning to their own half, haha... Their return to defense happened to advance the position of Bremen's right back and defensive midfielder.
The shortcomings are no longer dangerous, as were those teams in the past, but none of them were able to withstand Bremen's attack in the end!
Chen Zhuo switched from the right to the left, Trochowski switched to the right to face Ozil, Best strengthened Hamburg's ribs on the left, Berg strengthened the ribs on the right, and Fan
Ni retreated to the position between Yarolim and Rozenar...
Hamburg's current formation, in Schaff's eyes, looks very much like a 4-6-0 or 5-5-0 strikerless formation!
The reason why I say it is a formation is because Schaff was surprised to find that the Hamburg team was not broken by the sudden acceleration of Bremen's wing attack cluster like those of Bremen's previous opponents!
In the past ten years, this is the first time that a team has not been quickly defeated by Werder Bremen's tactics!
(two)
After making deduction analysis through "war-gaming", Chen Zhuo also studied the opponents in these nine games and found a common weakness, that is, the opponent's defense line will have the problem of inexperience of young players and the physical fitness of older players.
!This is exactly the problem that the Hamburg team needs to face now.
In the past ten years, Bremen has definitely been behind more than nine times, nor has it only equalized or reversed in nine games. Schaff's tactical routine is not just this one, but a large amount of data has been used for "war-gaming"
Afterwards, I thought that Schaff would most likely adopt this tactical routine based on the characteristics of the Hamburg team.
Among the previous nine opponents, at least one goal was scored within 7 minutes of Bremen making adjustments. The fastest was 1 and a half minutes after the change of formation, and the latest was 6 minutes and seconds after the change of formation.
, more of them occurred in the 3rd to 5th minutes after Schaaf changed his formation. The frequency of goals during this period was the highest...
After a detailed analysis of these nine games, the pattern concluded is consistent. After the opponent receives a huge impact on the wing, he quickly mobilizes troops from the front and center to the wing, and then Bremen will start again from the backcourt.
If you increase your troops forward, use pressing tactics and quick passes in the opponent's half, basically three or two will gather together, and the opponent's defense will have obvious holes... formation, how important it is!

Formation is something that sounds complicated and seems extremely mysterious. In fact, master-level coaches have already summarized it into easy-to-understand language. The "10 meters" concept proposed by the famous Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi in his book,
That is the best and most understandable explanation of the lineup.
Sacchi believes that on the football field, in a formation, the optimal distance between players should be 10 meters. If the distance is too long, the players cannot take care of each other. If the distance is too short, positions will appear between the players.
Repeatedly, after many years of intense practical combat experience, he refined this "10-meter" formation distance conclusion.
When Horton and Milu were coaches in China, they once made a special talk about the distance between players. Milu also used ropes to tie the players in a row at a certain distance to let them feel "
The formation movement of "one move, all moves" also allowed them to fully understand the meaning of "distance".
These masters' theoretical books were all read by Chen Zhuo himself during the domestic league. Many of the books were still untranslated. He read them stumblingly while holding a dictionary and comparing them with graphics. Over the years, Chen Zhuo also devoured hundreds of these books.
Theory is a book. It's a pity that Chinese players are not like European players.
In the systematic youth training system, in China, the idea of using competition as training and the lack of theoretical knowledge can be seen everywhere. Even the international players of the Chinese national team once said that they "trained without much suffering", which sounds like they are boasting.
Talents are different, but if you think about it carefully, doesn't this reflect the imperfection of China's youth training system?
The players of the Hamburg team, except for Pietroipa, have basically received systematic training from the youth training system since childhood. Formations like this and the concept of distance have long become part of their habits and instincts. So,
Every lineup adjustment that Chen Zhuo makes in the Hamburg team only needs a little running-in in training before it can be implemented in actual combat. Sometimes the replacement of a player involves a series of substitutions, and the players are also very quick.
Just got used to it.
This time, in response to Schaff's tactical routine, the Hamburg team only conducted three or five training preparations in less than a week.
(Four)
If you freeze the live broadcast at this time and then change it to a top-down view, you can see that this 4-6-0 or 5-5-0 position is actually a 4-3-3 structure.
The three lines are staggered and distributed within a 35-meter area in Hamburg's half.
The back line is arranged horizontally about 15 meters away from the goal. From left to right, Ogo, Rozenar, Matheisen and Boateng maintain a distance of about 10 meters. About 10 meters outward, starting from the ribs and starting from left to right
On the right are Best, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Berg. Their positions and the teammates behind them on the back line are almost an equilateral triangle, but their positions are not fixed and they are all constantly running.
On the line 10 meters ahead, there are Chen Zhuo and Trokhovsky on the left and right, and Yarolim cruising left and right in the middle. In the horizontal distance between the three of them, Yarolim in the middle is now leaning on
On the left, slightly farther away from Trokhovsky, but always keeping a distance of about 10 meters from Chen Zhuo...
When Bremen's offensive triangle moves forward, the first firewall is Chen Zhuo and Yarolim in the horizontal direction. Best is in the inverted triangle position behind them, leaving them with a "gap".
Behind Chen Zhuo and in front of Ogo, this is the area on the far side of Baister.
When they broke in with the ball, the triangle of Chen Zhuo, Best, and Ogo began to squeeze and shrink, and the entire defense line began to shrink to the left, making it impossible for players entering this triangle area to cut inside and break through under the pressure.
Unable to pass the ball smoothly, he could only follow the channel left by the defensive formation and continue to dribble to the corner flag area...
Werder Bremen is neither Brazil nor Barcelona. They can perform triangular short-pass penetration and non-stop passing in a small area, but compared with Brazil or Barcelona, which are quick and easy, there is still a certain distance. Bremen has more
What is more important is to destroy the balance of the opponent's formation through the sudden increase of local forces, the speed of local forces and the sudden movement of passing and cutting movements, so as to find an opening and seal the throat with a sword.
Formation balance refers to the balance of the four elements of "ball rights, space, teammate position, and opponent position". Tactics are how players use their technical abilities to break the opponent's balance and maintain their own balance. For example, Guardiola's team
Barcelona, the first in terms of tactical characteristics to control and maintain balance
The top priority is to fully control the "ball rights". When Mourinho's Inter Milan faced Barcelona, they avoided fighting with Barcelona on the "ball rights" that the opponent was good at. Instead, they compressed the opponent's "space" through formation adjustments.
, destroying the opponent's balance by pressing and narrowing the opponent's space.
Chen Zhuo's tactical design is largely based on the defensive tactics and system of Mourinho's Inter Milan defending Barcelona with 10 men in the away game two weeks ago on April 26. In that game, although Inter Milan was away from home,
They lost 0:1, but with a 3:1 victory at home, they defeated the powerful Barcelona and entered the Champions League final, becoming the team that will compete with Bayern Munich for this year's Champions League championship.
Schaff frowned. It had been more than four minutes. After a brief period of confusion, Hamburg's defense returned to normal after a brief adjustment. Under the impact of the Bremen storm, it remained unmoved!
Can you play on the left? The reason why we adjusted to a cluster attack on the right is because the Chinese player's defense made it difficult for Ozil to perform. Now the attack cluster on the right forces the Chinese player to shift his defensive focus, and in this few minutes
The attack obviously mobilized the entire defensive focus of the Hamburg team. At this time, Ozil had another opportunity!
After receiving Marin's pass from the wing, Bagfred did not choose to play one-two. The previous two cooperations failed due to the squeeze of the opponent, and Bagfred had also already attacked other players in the frontcourt.
A situation observation was made at the location.
After a false shot, Bagfred dunked the ball, made an adjustment, and passed it to Ozil on the left!
