Super Marshal

Training time during the winter break is very precious, it can be said to be a race against time.

On the second day after arriving in Marbella, in addition to continuing to sculpt the team's defense in training, Gao Han directly put the players together in two sets of lineups in the group match, which were based on four-three-three and three-four-three. Against.

Among them, the three-four-three formation that Gao Han is most interested in, he has a semi-main lineup.

Goalkeeper Neuer, three defenders on the left is Badstuber, Hummels in the center, and Jerome Boateng on the right.

The midfielders stand in parallel, with Marcelo, Schweinsteiger, Modric and Ram from left to right.

The front court trident is Ribery, Klose and Robben.

But after playing halftime with this lineup, Gao Han changed to another play style.

The defensive line remains unchanged, the midfielder adopts a small diamond position, two full-backs advancing, turning into Schweinsteiger to be delayed, Tony Kroos and Modric form a double midfielder, Thomas Muller advances .

On the forward line, Klose became Aguero.

All the players have guessed the intention of the head coach, this is to adjust the team's formation play.

The final result did not surprise Gao Han.

"Using a parallel midfield position, our midfield will be relatively weak, but our wing attack will be very strong."

The internal rivalry on the court continued. Gao Han and the coaching staff squatted on the sidelines, watching the game and studying the gains.

The advantage of the midfield parallel stance is that there are three players on both sides. Not only does it ensure that the sides have a number advantage, coupled with the strength of the players, Bayern Munich's offense and defense on the two sides will be quite sharp.

On the left are Ribéry, Marcelo and Bad Stuber, on the right are Robben, Ram and Jerome Boateng.

In the three front, middle and back lines, the distance between the players is kept very tight, the contacts are very frequent, coupled with the advantage of personal strength, it is completely foreseeable that these two sides will be a crushing level against other teams in the Bundesliga.

But the shortcomings are also more obvious, that is, the middle road is relatively weak.

If you change to a small diamond midfield position, the midfield control will be even better. Tony Kroos and Modric are both players with a strong ability to hold the ball, plus a Schweinsteiger, can Ensure Bayern Munich's midfield control.

Thomas Muller plays the front midfielder, but he has a wide range of activities. Pulling and running will be the object of headache for the defensive side. As long as he has a good interaction with Aguero, Ribery and Robben, Bayern Munich’s The frontcourt offense can be quite threatening.

It can even be said that the attack firepower will be very large.

But the weakness is also obvious. The two wingers in the frontcourt are heavy offensive and defensive. Although the left and right center defenders can pull the sides, the defensive pressure is very high, especially the distance to the frontcourt is too long. The other party uses it.

"Can you use a big diamond position in the midfield?" Sergio Garcia asked concerned.

Before Gao Han answered, Tuchel shook his head and said: "No, the midfield will become very weak. It will be difficult for the midfield and wing to gain an advantage, and it will increase the player's range. This is definitely not a good thing."

This answer earned Tuchel's praise from Gao Han.

"That's right, the 3, 4, and 3 formation itself emphasizes running. According to my preliminary estimation, the overall running distance of the players is more than that of the 4, 3 and 3. I even think that based on our current physical condition of the players. I am afraid that this set of play is difficult to last."

A tactical formation that consumes too much is definitely not a long-term use, even if it is like Gao Han who is good at rotation, but he can't guarantee that the team's physical reserves can cope with such a high-intensity consumption.

So, for the time being, this set of tactics is destined to be a substitute plan.

For example, an important player is absent.

…………

Two weeks after training in Marbella, Bayern Munich returned to Germany and played a warm-up match with Düsseldorf on the away game. The result was a 2-1 victory over the opponent in the away game.

After the warm-up match, the Bundesliga giants returned to the Sebena training base in Munich to concentrate on preparing for the second half of the tournament.

But like the first half, the second half of the game still kicked off with a German Cup.

This time the opponent is Mainz, who is temporarily ranked second in the league table.

The head coach of Mainz is a young coach who has been rising in German football in recent years. He is only forty-year-old Jurgen Klopp. He was once a striker in Mainz. After one year of retirement, he became the team's head coach.

After coaching Mainz, Klopp brought this Bundesliga mid-range team into the Bundesliga, and once qualified for the UEFA Cup by virtue of fair play, but was defeated by Sevilla in the first round of the knockout. .

Last season, Mainz was relegated from the Bundesliga, and Klopp announced his stay, intending to bring the team back to the Bundesliga.

Mainz's performance this season has not disappointed him. He is second in the Bundesliga and has the best defensive ability. He is currently only behind in the standings and is also relegated to Monchengladbach, who is aiming to return to the Bundesliga.

Although there is a significant gap between the strength of the two teams, Klopp's team still left a deep impression on Alpine in the game by virtue of its tough play, aggressive press, and tenacious defense.

In particular, the 19-year-old Serbian teenager Subotic, who is at the central defender, created a lot of trouble for Bayern Munich's offense, and even caused the Bundesliga giants to return without success during most of the game.

"This Jurgen Klopp is not easy." Gao Han said excitedly.

Players are the foundation of a team. Players have strong personal strength. You can formulate suitable tactics according to the characteristics of the players, and give the players relatively free space to play. But if the players are weak, they have to play the whole and rely on the whole. Suppress the opponent.

And this Jurgen Klopp has built Mainz into an unbreakable whole, and the defense is organized like a bronze wall, making it difficult for Bayern Munich to attack.

Tuchel was also a little surprised by this. From Gao Han's words, he could hear the appreciation for Klopp.

Could it be that he is so good?

"However, his style of play consumes too much energy, especially when facing us, the consumption is even more amazing under high-intensity pressure." Gao Han said this, smiled faintly, and turned his head to look at that. A tall, strong, middle-aged German man with a beard, "the last thirty minutes was his nightmare."

Facts have proved that Gao Han's judgment is correct at all.

After struggling for sixty minutes, Mainz finally couldn't hold it.

Starting from the 63rd minute, Bayern Munich scored three goals in a row and finally defeated Mainz 3-0.

Tuchel also noticed that after the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gao Han's face did not have the slightest surprise of winning, as if this game had already been expected.

Mainz coach Jurgen Klopp, who played at home, strode to the coaching bench of the visiting team and took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Han to congratulate Bayern Munich on his victory. He said he was convinced of the loss.

"When we return to the Bundesliga and meet again, you won't win so easily." Although the game was lost, and it was still defeated, Klopp was still fighting spirit and there was no frustration on his face.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Then you have to think about optimizing your player configuration."

"Oh?"

"We Chinese have an old saying that is too hard and easy to break. Your team is fierce, aggressive, and consumes too much physical energy. Whether it is for the ball, the rhythm, or the court space, it can’t Play a very good control."

Having said that, Gao Han smiled again, "If you want to have resilience, you need to inject a touch of softness into it."

Klopp's eyes flashed with a hint of color, as if he had gained something from Gao Han's words, but the tone in his mouth was still not small.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder, next time you meet, I will let you taste our greatness."

Gao Han laughed, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Watching this brawny German man turned around and left without any muddles, Gao Han had no lack of appreciation in his eyes.

"His team is like his people, just like his temper, like a hot boxer."

Gao Han was also very happy to meet this kind of person in the low-level league.

Competing against different types of opponents is a rare excitement for any coach.

After defeating Mainz, the draw for the knockout round of the German Cup was also freshly released.

This time, Bayern Munich accidentally drew a rival in the same city, Munich 1860, and still played at home.

Therefore, many German media have said that this is a **** visa.

After the end of the German Cup, the team returned to Munich to rest, and immediately went away on the weekend to challenge Rostock.

This is the first game of the second half of the league.

Although it is an away game, Bayern Munich's limelight is still sharp.

At the beginning of the game, the Bundesliga giants launched a fierce attack on Rostock, unable to play Rostock's long-prepared opening tactics, and completely integrated the game into the rhythm that he was familiar with.

Ribery scored a goal for Bayern Munich in the eleventh minute.

This was an opportunity created by Robben's left-foot diagonal pass after he got the ball from the right. After the French player diagonally inserted into the penalty area, he calmly seized the opportunity and sent the ball into Rostock's goal.

After that, Bayern Munich firmly grasped the situation on the field, and before the end of the first half, Modric assisted Klose in the penalty area to make another city, expanding the score to two to zero.

After changing sides in the second half, Rostock launched a counterattack at home. The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and their movements increased frequently, and the players became more and more angry with each other.

In the 61st minute, Rostock defender Stein fouled Robben. Captain Van Bommel was the first to rush to top the opponent, but the referee issued a yellow card.

Within a few minutes, Rostock defender Rahn fouled again. This time it was Lucio who was dribbling the ball. The Brazilian defender also made a trip after falling to the ground, and both fell together.

The referee once again played 50 rebounds each and each issued a yellow card.

Seeing that the situation on the field was a little out of control, Alpine had to immediately make substitutions and adjustments, and in the first minute, Tony Kroos, who was on the bench, came in and scored a long shot ~www.NovelMTL.com~ for Bayern Munich. Scored the third goal of the game.

In the end, the Bundesliga giants won Rostock 3-0 and successfully took another three-pointer.

But also after the end of this game, the two main players in the Bayern Munich team, Van Bommel and Lucio, have accumulated yellow cards and suspended, which caught Bayern Munich a bit by surprise.

A game, stopped the two main players?

Van Bommel is okay, there is a Vidal in this position.

But what about Lucio?

His previous rotation player was Van Bitten, but now the Belgian centre-backs have gone to Tottenham Hotspur.

Use Demi Kellys to partner with Hummels?

This is also a feasible solution.

But what is dying is that Bayern Munich's opponent in the next round of the league is Werder Bremen. 8)
