"Marcelo, Jerome Boateng, Bad Stuber, Hummels, Lahm......"

Thomas Schaff muttered the names of the Bayern Munich players in the starting list and looked at his assistant with some shock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"He's got five defenders. ”

Listening to his voice, I even trembled a little.

The assistant also looked at the starting list in disbelief, wondering if he was wrong, but when he looked at it again, yes, it was indeed the top five defenders, which was a bit strange.

"I remember that yesterday afternoon, when Gao Han announced the squad, he said that he would not rule out a more secure tactical play, could it be that he said this?" the assistant coach guessed.

Thomas Schaff was also puzzled by the fact that he understood that Alpine had never been a conservative manager.

From his time in charge of Atletico Madrid, to Chelsea and Inter Milan, he has been able to be creative and admirable in attack, but in defence, although he is also important, he has always been inferior to attack.

It's a complete offensive maniac, so to speak.

Such a person will be conservative?

What's more, in the two duels this season, Bayern Munich won by four goals, and now it is at the Allianz Arena again, is it possible?

"I don't understand, he doesn't understand at all, Demichelis didn't play, Vidal didn't go up, but he got a Bad Stuber and a Boateng, what is he trying to do?" Thomas Schaff asked with a frown.

Marcelo, Jerome Boateng and Hummels are all 19 years old, Bad Stuber is also 19 years old in March, and Rahm, who is only 24 years old, is the current captain and the oldest leader at the back.

"Does he think he can hold on to the defense with this group of kids?" the assistant coach couldn't figure it out.

The midfield is a great test of the player's experience and adaptability, young players are not experienced enough, the adaptability is relatively poor, and they must not do well enough to deal with some major games, so many times, they would rather play on weaker veterans than vigorously promote young players, which is the reason.

But Gao Han is now going the other way, leaving Demichelis and Vidal alone, using a few young players, and more importantly, according to the current arrangement of troops, is he going to play in a five-two-three formation?

The midfield is a combination of Schweinsteiger and Modric, and the front three are Ribery, Klose and Robben.

"Will it be a five-four formation, defensive counterattack?"

After listening to this, Thomas Schaff still didn't understand it, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

But he was an experienced manager and quickly came out of his confusion.

He knows very well that he can't get bogged down in the mystery of his opponent, and that as long as he walks on the pitch, everything will be revealed.

"No matter how he changes and how he adjusts, our strategy remains the same, attacking in the opening game and trying to score first. ”

The assistant coach nodded heavily, and they had been preparing carefully for a week to get the game started.

"You help me prepare, and I'll remind them before the game starts. ”

"Good. ”

…………

At the same time that Thomas Schaff got the starting lineup, in the chairman's stand at the Allianz Arena, the Bayern Munich Big Three also got the starting lineup, and all three were shocked.

"Back five?" Rummenigge was silent.

On weekdays, they don't say much that Gao Han is desperate for the sake of attacking, but in this game, when they returned to the Allianz Stadium, they faced Werder Bremen, who had won both games by four goals, but Gao Han discharged a five-back formation.

If he hadn't seen the starting list with his own eyes, he would have suspected that he had read it wrong.

Hoeness, who was sitting on the side, smiled bitterly, reached out and touched his round belly, and sighed.

Beckenbauer and Rummenigge also noticed his actions and were very strange.

"Uli, what's going on?"

Hoeness spread his hands helplessly, "On the day when the Football Association announced the ban of Van Bommel and Lucio, he said some very strange things to me, first asking me if I should play more conservatively. ”

Rummenigge and Beckenbauer both nodded, could it be that Gao Han did it on purpose?

But soon, he said it was a joke, and then he mysteriously said that it was a good opportunity. ”

"What chance?" asked Rummenigge with concern.

Hoeness smiled helplessly: "I also asked him, but he didn't say, just asked me to wait and watch a good show." ”

The three of them looked at each other, completely unclear what Gao Han was playing.

On the back five, do you really have to play conservatively?

Beckenbauer shook his head with a smile, "I remember that he said at the European Managers' Summit that the five or six midfielders do not mean that the midfield should be strengthened, and the most important thing is to see where these players are placed and what kind of tasks they bring to play. ”

Hoeness and Rummenigge are both experienced professionals, and they immediately understood what Beckenbauer meant.

According to Gao Han, the top five defenders do not mean that they are conservative.

"Do you pay attention to it, Boateng was personally asked to be introduced by Gao Han, Hummels was also picked up by him, and he has already established himself this season, Bad Stuber is also a very optimistic type of player for Gao Han, and this game he uses Demichelis, who is more experienced and more powerful, but uses them, don't you think it's strange?"

Beckenbauer's doubts seemed to open a window into the way Rummenigge and Hoeness thought about it.

It was only then that Hoeness suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I remember that the team leader Nelinger said that during the training camp in Marbella, the team once practiced a set of tactics with a back three, which seemed to be a three-four-three formation. ”

"Three, four, three?" said Rummenigge, a little surprised.

This is a tactical formation that once swept European football, but it has declined over the years, and few people dare to use it.

The last time someone used it was Barcelona's Rijkaard, and it ended in a miserable defeat.

Could it be that Gao Han is going to play a three, four, or three formation?

"Possibly, I heard that during the European Managers' Summit, he and Pep Guardiola, Alex Ferguson, Koeman, Arsene Wenger and Heynckes were all working on a three, four, or three formation, so maybe he had itchy hands and wanted to try it?" Beckenbauer laughed.

To be honest, he is also very much looking forward to it.

Three, four, three, this style of play is like a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can kill the enemy unlimitedly, and if you don't use it well, you will be done with it.

More importantly, with the current Bayern Munich lineup, can such tactics be played?

"Well, since it's a trial, it doesn't matter, anyway, he dares to bet on his golden sign of victory, how can we mind taking three points as a bet?" Rummenigge laughed.

When it comes to this, he is not worried.

More importantly, as a management who understands football, he is also very much looking forward to seeing what new things Gao Han can come up with, which may bring great help to Bayern Munich.

…………

…………

In the home team's dressing room, Bayern Munich's 11 starters were all sitting on their knees, waiting for the referee's bell with solemn faces.

Everyone has a different expression on their faces, some are calm, some are nervous, some are worried, and some are ......

In short, there are all kinds of expressions.

Gao Han smiled and walked into the locker room, clapping vigorously as he walked, making everyone look at him.

"Alright, guys, I've got good news for you. ”

Standing in front of the players, Gao Han smiled and raised the white piece of paper in his hand with the starting lineup of Werder Bremen.

"Werder Bremen will play in a 4231 formation, as I told you before the game, they play in this more secure formation against the big teams, so congratulations, Thomas Schaff is very jealous of you. ”

It was a joke, but apart from a handful of big-hearted players such as Ribery and Robben, none of them could laugh.

"Don't be nervous, guys, none of this came as a surprise to me. ”

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "As I told you before the game, there is a good chance that they will start to attack, because they want to disrupt our rhythm, but we can't let the opponent get their wish, so I have only one requirement for you in the first half, steady." ”

'In the first 45 minutes of the first half, I didn't need you to score, everything was about staying ground, which was very important for us, not thinking about attacking, prioritizing controlling the tempo and the ball, stabilizing the defence. ”

Gao Han said this, and the words changed, "The opponent is Werder Bremen, the attack is very strong, we may even concede the ball first, but you have to believe me, losing the ball is not terrible, you must stabilize your position at all times, you can't mess up, I will remind you on the sidelines at all times, understand?"

"Understood. The players replied in unison.

"Philippe, Bastian, Matz, you have to remember what we rehearsed and prepared before the game, our defensive strategy in this game is different from usual, the enemy advances and I advance, the enemy retreats and I retreat, you must always pay attention to maintain the level and depth of the defensive line, especially you, Matz, always pay attention to the position. ”

Hummels, Ram, and Schweinsteiger all agreed in unison.

'It's important to press up front in this game, Frank, Aljan, I need the two of you to press the two full-backs at all times and don't let them go up easily, can you do that?'

"No problem, boss. ”

"I'm sure I'll be OK, boss. ”

Ribery and Robben both expressed their positions with confidence, and when they finished speaking, they looked at each other and sat back with a smile.

It can be seen that there is a faint smell of gunpowder between the two, obviously they both want to snatch the throne of the first brother in the team.

In the first half, Ribery was the most dangerous player in the team, but Robben has basically recovered after the winter break, and his form has been maintained well, and he is fully capable of fighting.

As for Klose, the typical type to make a fortune with a muffled voice.

"Diego and Borowski have great attacking and long-range shooting from behind, so we can't go too far back, they come up, we go back, don't worry, they defensively are worse than us. ”

When the players heard this sudden joke, they all laughed, which greatly diluted the tension before the competition.

But it has to be said that Werder Bremen's defense is really bad.

"But one thing you have to pay attention to is that the three lines have to be in a tight array at all times, not too far apart, not too close, as we always remind us in training. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, clearly knowing what the manager was looking for.

"Finally, I'll repeat again and again, don't rush to score in the first half, I don't need you to score, I just need you to stabilize your position, grasp the ball and rhythm, even if the opponent scores first, you can't be in a hurry, you can't mess up, you understand?"

The anti-corruption reminder before the game, and the second repeat now, have made the players realize the importance of this rule.

Even they can guess that if anyone commits it again, they will probably have to leave the game early, or even be thrown into the cold palace.

Just then, at this time, the bell rang for the referee to summon him to enter the field.

It's time to play!
