Chapter 9: Winning streak
Recently, I have seen a lot of book friends helping me promote in Longkong or Tieba and other places, and I would like to express my gratitude!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"When you focus on attack, I prefer to focus on defense, Michael Schutte, who broke out at the end of last season, was very solid at left-back in this game, and the timing of the insertion was also very good, last season there were many teams who fanced the left-back but didn't make a move, I believe at this time, their manager is regretting it."
"Mainz has performed very well in these two games, but it still shows us some bad points, which may become hidden dangers, and a new rising team like Mainz should not have too many utopian dreams, and stabilizing in the league is the right way."
'There has always been a tradition of Bundesliga teams giving up the league for European competitions, and Mainz is no exception, but Jurgen Klopp seems to think his team can play on both fronts at the same time, which makes me feel confused, maybe Klopp is still too young.
In the ensuing game, Mainz continued to attack aggressively.
After winning a series of free-kicks and corners, Hank scored the final goal of the game.
Hank was also very excited after scoring the goal and ran straight around the field.
At home, Mainz beat Mika 4-0 without a surprise.
After this game, the German media also really focused on Mainz.
Eintracht Frankfurter Zeitung: "Mainz has shown a strong offensive ability in the new season, in a friendly match with Real Madrid on July 7, Mainz will attack against the terrifying Galaxy Battleship, and the sidelines will not fall behind, although Real Madrid seized the opportunity to play a counterattack when testing the formation in the final stage, but Mainz still won the giants from Europe in the attack, although this is only a friendly match, but it can also be seen that Mainz's offensive firepower is strong. ”
Mainz Daily: "In the first round of the Europa League qualifiers, Mainz showed great strength, home and away clean sheets, and scored ten goals, which is a unique performance in the first round of qualifiers, it is reported that the French authoritative media team newspaper also reported on this round of the game, and many of the giants who participated in the League Cup also believe that Mainz's offensive firepower is enough to be called the first-class League Cup this year, I believe that this German city will be famous in Europe with the rise of Mainz. ”
Munich Zeitung: "Mainz has a lot of young talent in the team, but their manager Jurgen Klopp refused to sell any of the players, only traded for players in the transfer for dollars, Klopp is ambitious, if Klopp succeeds, the value of the talents in the Mainz team will skyrocket again, if Mainz fails, then the date of the opening of the player supermarket is coming." ”
Berlin Sport: "According to rumors, Klinsmann has taken a fancy to Mainz's central defender Spasoye Brajic and will arrive in Cologne on August 6 to inspect the talented Mainz centre-back, and it is reported that the young player in the Mainz team Ozil has accepted the call-up of the German youth team, however, surprisingly, the real international Hank in this squad is not the main member of this team, and the main player of this team, Wang Zhen, has not been called up by the Chinese national team. In this regard, among the Bundesliga teams, Mainz is the team with the smallest number of internationals and the strongest team, which will make Mainz go further this year. ”
Klopp, the most important thing every day is to read the newspaper, he believes that although sometimes the newspaper often exaggerates and creates gimmicks, but the newspaper industry, after all, has a large number of experts who have been immersed in this industry for many years, and sometimes some of their words still make sense.
Subsequently, Mainz also held the first meeting of the coaching staff of the new season.
There are two players involved, one is Wang Zhen and the other is Jerome Wamz, who is the team's goalkeeper coach and also serves as the goalkeeper tactical coach.
That's right, this season, Neuer will have a second function, which is to help attack.
In conventional tactics, the goalkeeper assists is nothing more than opening his foot to find a position, if the position is good, he can help the attack, such a goal, two or three games can have that once, and it may not be scored.
Jurgen Klopp has looked at Manuel Neuer throughout the season, and since he has a goalkeeper of his kind and habit as the starting goalkeeper, of course, there must be corresponding adjustments.
A goalkeeper, if he has the skill of his feet and the awareness of insertion, can force the opposition forward line to retreat into the midfield.
Perhaps, most of the time, the goalkeeper will be attacked by the opposing striker when he takes the ball out of the box, but this is only a superficial phenomenon.
One possibility is that the goalkeeper steps forward, the striker presses, the goalkeeper passes the ball out, and then the defender steps back and passes back to the goalkeeper, and after a few times, he can force the opposing forward line to retreat.
The second possibility, the goalkeeper stepped forward, the opposing striker pressed, the goalkeeper passed the ball, and the opponent's midfielder also pounced to force it, in that case, it is easy to create a gap in the opponent's backfield, and the average team will not do this kind of thing if there is no suppressive advantage over the enemy.
Of course, there is a third possibility, the goalkeeper will be cut off, this situation, maybe seven or eight games can be encountered once, and you can only consider yourself unlucky when you encounter it, not to mention that the goalkeeper loses the ball does not necessarily mean that the goal is really lost.
In this tactic, Spasoye had to defend with all his might and get close to Neuer to help.
After discussion, everyone felt that it was feasible to let Neuer insert, but not too often, it must be difficult for the opponent to prevent in order to play a role, and it doesn't take much to play a game, just have it twice.
When the team's formation is unstable, or the opponent presses aggressively, you can use this small tactic to force the opponent to retreat into their own half.
The only problem is how to make the remaining ten people on the field judge in advance that Neuer is going to insert, which is the difficulty, and it is also the first thing to practice in tactical training.
It's still physical reserve training, but the Mainz first team has officially entered the state of preparation for the new season, and the day between the two days of physical reserve training is not rest, but tactical training.
As for technical training...... Wang Zhen will practice more every day after training, and most of the team's young players will also stay for training.
There is no way, Wang Zhen can't leave, Ribery can't leave, and Kalankika and Kana can't leave, there are four people, and it is the four main forces to practice, which instantly forms an effect, and almost all young players will take the initiative to practice.
This puts a lot of pressure on the team doctor, Christopher, to ensure their physical condition during training, and on the other hand, to stay and train.
This is rare in Germany, and it has almost caused a wave of talent concentration camp-like teams with talent and potential, who train hard, and who have no talent, no money, and no people.
Eintracht Frankfurter Zeitung: "Mainz won three games in the off-season along with the UEFA Cup qualifiers, scoring thirteen goals in three games, an average of more than four goals in one game, while Cologne has one draw, one win and two losses in France after completing the whole team, and last season's Bundesliga champions and last season's Bundesliga champions meet in the first round of this season's Bundesliga, let's look forward to what will happen in this game." ”
Cologne won the Bundesliga two rounds ahead of schedule with a strong 67 points, and interestingly, this is a defensive team.
On August 6, the first round of the league, Cologne VS Mainz.
