The training time during the winter break is precious, and it can be described as a race against time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the second day of arriving in Marbella, in addition to continuing to polish the team's defense in training, Gao Han directly put together two sets of lineups in the group match, which were played against each other with four-three-three and three-four-three.

Among them, Gao Han was most interested in the three, four, and three formations, and he discharged a set of semi-main lineups.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, back three with Bad Stuber on the left, Hummels in the middle, and Jerome Boateng on the right.

The midfielders are parallel to each other, from left to right, with Marcelo, Schweinsteiger, Luka Modric and Lahm.

The front three are Ribery, Klose and Arjen Robben.

But after playing half the game with this lineup, Gao Han changed to another set of play.

The backline remained unchanged, with the midfield taking a small diamond position, the two wing-backs adducting in, becoming Schweinsteiger behind, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric forming a double attack, and Thomas Müller advancing forward.

And on the forward line, Klose became Aguero.

All the players guessed the manager's intentions, which was to adjust the team's formation and play.

And the final result did not surprise Gao Han.

"With a parallel midfield position, we will be relatively weak in the middle, but we will be strong on the wing. ”

The internal confrontation 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 parallel position in the midfield is that there are three players on both wings, which not only ensures that the flanks have a numerical advantage, but also the strength of the players, Bayern Munich's attack and defense on both flanks will be quite sharp.

On the left are Franck Ribery, Marcelo Marcelo and Bad Stuber, while on the right are Arjen Robben, Lahm and Jerome Boateng.

The front, middle and back lines, the distance between the players is very tight, the contact is very frequent, coupled with the advantage of individual strength, it is completely foreseeable that these two wings will face other teams in the Bundesliga, and it will be a crushing level.

But the flaw is also more obvious, that is, the middle lane is relatively weak.

If you switch to a small diamond position in the midfield, the midfield control is even better, Toni Kroos and Modric are the kind of players who have a strong ability to carry the ball, and with the addition of a Schweinsteiger, it can ensure Bayern Munich's control in midfield.

Thomas Muller plays in the midfield, but he has a lot of range of movement, pulling and running will be a headache for the defender, as long as he has a good interaction with Aguero, Ribery and Robben, Bayern Munich's attack will 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 front field are heavy on attack and light on defense, and although the two central defenders on the left and right can pull the side, the defensive pressure is very high, especially the distance from the front court is too long, which makes the team's side easy to be used by the opponent.

"Can you use a big diamond position in midfield?" asked Sergio Garcia with concern.

Before he could reply, Tuchel shook his head and said: "No, it makes the midfield very weak, it is difficult to dominate in the middle and on the wings, and it increases the range of movement of the players, which is certainly not a good thing. ”

That answer earned Tuchel the admiration of the high chill.

"That's right, the three-four-three formation itself has a lot of emphasis on running, and according to my preliminary estimates, the overall running distance of the players is more than that of four-three-three, and even I think that with the physical condition of our current players, this style of play may not be sustainable. ”

The tactical formation that consumes too much will definitely not be able to be used for a long time, even if it is good at rotation like Gao Han, but he can't guarantee that the team's physical reserves can cope with such a high level of consumption.

Therefore, for the time being, this set of tactical play is destined to be only a substitute plan.

For example, an important player is absent.

…………

After two weeks of training in Marbella, Bayern Munich returned to Germany to play a warm-up match away to Fortuna Dusseldorf, which resulted in a narrow 2-1 away win.

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

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 are temporarily in second place in the Bundesliga.

The head coach of Mainz is a young coach who has risen in German football in recent years, Jurgen Klopp, who was a striker at Mainz and became the team's head coach after retiring in 01.

After taking charge of Mainz, Jurgen Klopp brought the mid-table side to the Bundesliga and qualified for the UEFA Cup on a fair play basis, only to be beaten by Sevilla in the first knockout round.

Last season, Mainz was relegated from the Bundesliga, and Jurgen Klopp announced that he would stay on with the intention of bringing the team back to the Bundesliga.

Mainz have not disappointed him this season, finishing second in the Bundesliga and with the best defensive prowess and currently only behind Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are also relegated from the Bundesliga.

Although there is a fairly obvious gap in the strength of the two teams, Klopp's team still left a deep impression on Gao Han in the game with its tough style of play, active pressing and tenacious defense.

In particular, the nineteen-year-old Serbian teenager Subotic who sat at central defense caused a lot of trouble for Bayern Munich's attack, and even made the Bundesliga giants useless for most of the game.

"This Jürgen Klopp, it's not easy. Gao Han said excitedly.

Players are the foundation of a team, players have strong individual strength, according to the characteristics of the players, formulate appropriate tactics, appropriately give players relatively free to play space, but if the players are weak, then you have to play the whole, rely on the whole to suppress the opponent.

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

Tuchel was also a little surprised, and he could hear his admiration for Klopp in Gao Han's words.

Is he really so good?

"However, his style of play is too physically demanding, especially against us, under high pressure and the consumption is even more amazing. Gao Han said this, smiled faintly, turned his head sideways, and looked at the tall and strong middle-aged German man with a beard, "The last thirty minutes are his nightmare." ”

As it turned out, Gao Han's judgment was not wrong at all.

After 60 minutes of hard work, Mainz finally couldn't hold on.

From the 63rd minute, Bayern Munich scored three goals in a row to finally beat Mainz 3-0.

Tuchel also noticed that after the final whistle, there was no surprise on Gao Han's face, as if the game had been expected by him.

Mainz coach Jurgen Klopp strode to the visitors' dugout, took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Han, congratulated Bayern Munich on their victory, and said he was convinced.

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

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

"Oh?"

"We Chinese have an old saying, too rigid and easy to break, your team is very fierce, too aggressive, too physically exhausted, whether it is the ball, the rhythm, the court space, can not play a good control." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled again, "If you want to have toughness, you need to inject a touch of softness and delicacy into it. ”

Klopp's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, 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 the reminder, next time we meet, I'll let you taste our awesomeness. ”

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

Watching this strong German man turn around and leave, without any mud and water, Gao Han's eyes were full of appreciation.

"His team is like his people, like his temper, like a fiery boxer. ”

Being able to meet this kind of person in the lower league, Gao Han was also very happy in his heart.

Playing against different types of opponents is a rare thrill for any manager.

After beating Mainz, the draw for the quarterfinals of the German Cup has also been released.

This time, Bayern Munich coincidentally drew the sworn enemy of the same city, Munich 1860, and it was still a home game.

Therefore, many German media have said that this is a guaranteed sign.

After the German Cup, the team returned to Munich to recuperate, and immediately travelled to Rostock for the weekend.

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

Although it is an away game, Bayern Munich is still in the limelight.

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 incorporated the game into the rhythm they were familiar with.

Franck Franck Ribery opened the scoring for Bayern Munich in the 11th minute.

It was a chance created by Robben's sudden inward left-footed diagonal pass after winning the ball on the right, and the Frenchman cut into the box diagonally and calmly seized the opportunity to send the ball into the Rostock goal.

Bayern Munich then took control of the situation and just before the end of the first half, Modric assisted Klose in the box to make it 2-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Rostock, which was fighting at home, launched a counterattack, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and the action was frequently increased, and the players became more and more angry with each other.

In the 61st minute, Rostock defender Stein fouled Robben, and the captain of the field, Van Bommel, was the first to rush up to the opponent, but was given a yellow card by the referee.

But a few minutes later, Rostock defender Larne committed another foul, this time tackling Lucio who was inserting the ball, and the Brazilian central defender also had a trip after falling to the ground, and both fell together.

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

Seeing that the situation on the field was a little out of control, Gao Han had to make immediate substitutions, and in the 81st minute, substitute Toni Kroos stepped in and scored a long-range shot to score Bayern Munich's third goal of the game.

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

But it was also after this game that the two main players in the Bayern Munich team, Van Bommel and Lucio, were suspended for accumulating yellow cards, which caught Bayern Munich off guard.

One game, two main forces stopped?

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

But what about Lucio?

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

Partnering Demichelis with Hummels?

This is also a viable option.

But fortunately, Bayern Munich's opponent in the next round of the league is Werder Bremen.
