Chapter 51 (I) Seal him with no fragrance

Saturday, 7 December 2002. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the eighteenth round of the Info German Bundesliga, Madiborg hosted the league leader Osnabruck.

Osnabruck has been in the limelight this year, unbeaten in the first 17 rounds with 11 wins and 6 draws, and currently ranks first in the league with 39 points. In the first round of the league, Madiburg lost 0:6 away to Osnabruck, thus starting the first half of this sad season.

In this game, Klopp still used the starting lineup of the first three games, and veterans such as Bantam Tigers, Greek Shuai, and East German Cool all came on the field.

In the end, the game played a jaw-dropping 4:4 high scoreline, with both sides taking one point each, and Madiburg's winning streak was stopped. The goals of both sides are as beautiful as plum blossoms, and you come and go to make the audience addicted.

In this game, Zhuo Yang still played the whole game and played well, leading the way with one shot and two passes. It was his trademark solo goal, passing everyone and taking the ball straight into the back of the net, leaving behind a crowd of people on their backs.

Osnabruck are strong and are the toughest opponents they have faced so far, much stronger than Elgerberg, who won a hard-fought away win at Ergerberg last week. They have a lot of experience, a well-balanced individual ability, and no obvious holes in the three lines.

However, the main reason why Madiburg did not win was not that there was any major problem in defence, but that the formation was disjointed. Jurgen Klopp's pressing style of play, the team's overall formation is very high, trying to keep the opponent in half the court, away from his own goal.

In order to firmly suppress the opponent, the midfielder led by Zhuo Yang will not stop to counter-attack on the spot, and the formation will always be close to the opponent's 40-meter area. In this way, the distance from the back line of the side is widened, and experienced opponents will often take advantage of this hole to fight back. In the first few games, Zhuo Yang, Little Pig, and De Jong used tireless running to cover, plus several opponents were of average strength, so the problem was not very serious. But in this game, the leader Osnabruck was alert to catch it, and all four goals were scored on the counter-attack, playing behind the midfield or even behind the defenders, playing the junction of the two lines. If it weren't for Zhuo Yang leading the midfielders to play well in the attack, and sparing no physical strength when defending, the result would be difficult to say.

If Zhuo Yang and they retreat back and shorten the gap between them and the back line, they will be far away from the opponent's goal, and Klopp's high pressing will be impossible. In this case, the vice-president and the Greek commander cannot be blamed for their backline, because they dare not mention it too highly. If they close the distance to the midfield, it will inevitably increase the space for the goalkeeper, and Madiburg's goalkeeper Nelson Belloc has little attacking ability and has too little control to operate in the small penalty area.

Therefore, the root of all this is actually that Madiburg does not have a starting goalkeeper who fits Klopp's tactical play.

A good tactical concept doesn't mean it's right for all teams, it needs to have the right players to show its power. Therefore, a coach who can adapt to local conditions is always very popular, because he is not a picky eater, and he cooks whatever dish he wants. Carlo Ancelotti, Italy's emerging coach, is such a good cook.

Jurgen Klopp's idea is indeed advanced, even five to ten years ahead. But his tactical style of play is really picky, and it requires eleven people on the field to meet the concept of passing and cutting control. However, the veteran players of Madiburg are too deeply influenced by traditional German football, and their sense of position is deeply ingrained, and it is almost impossible to twist it for a while. Fortunately, there are still Zhuo Yang and the six of them, plus the old fox Hasler, who will be able to support this new set of techniques and tactics.

However, even if the formation and style of play are not perfect, it is still more than enough to cope with relegation this year. Klopp is not in a hurry, taking his time, digging potential from the team itself, and then waiting for the Six Musketeers to gradually mature. So, the prospect of Madiburg is very, very exciting.

Saturday, 21 December 2002. In the 19th round of the German C League, the Madiburg team went to Munich to challenge the Bayern Munich youth team.

Since Bayern Munich's youth team and the first team also share a home stadium, Zhuo Yang finally saw the legendary Munich Olympic Park stadium with a few dirt buns who had never seen the world. The 63,000-seat Olympic Park Stadium in Munich was built in 1968. It was built in anticipation of the 1972 Munich Olympics, which were also famous for terrorist attacks.

Bayern Munich youth team is very strange, its defensive strength is very strong, but the attacking power in the front court can only be hehe, which may also have something to do with the team's building ideas.

Bayern Munich, as Germany's greatest football club, is known as the green Hollywood. Historically, the team has been star-studded, and the superstars have been dazzling. Bayern prefer to poach from other teams, and the stars in the midfield are almost always poached by club bigwigs with hoes. And the team's backline often has Bayern natives who have been trained in their own academy.

In this group of Bayern youth teams, there are several young defensive stars. 19-year-old Philippe Rahm and 17-year-old Andrés Otter are both very strong at the back. There is also 18-year-old goalkeeper Michael Rensing, and Bayern Munich's youth team is solid at the back. Coupled with the 17-year-old midfielder Trokhovski, these four are also the hopefuls that Bayern will focus on developing, and everyone understands that the four of them will be first-team players sooner or later.

Bayern's youth team conceded only 10 goals in the first 18 rounds, an average of just over half a game per game. However, their attack was miserable, and they only scored thirteen goals. 18 games, 3 wins, 11 draws, 3 losses, 20 points, ranked 13th in the third division, and there is some pressure of relegation.

In the first half of the fixture, Madiburg lost 0-1 at home to Bayern Juniors. In this game, the rejuvenated Madiburg defeated the opponent 3:0 without any suspense.

The three defenders of the Bayern youth team are indeed outstanding, and they have also caused a lot of trouble to Zhuo Yang. can be highlighted, it depends on who you compare with. Except for Ram and Lensing, whose performances were still eye-catching, the others were completely beaten by the Six Musketeers and couldn't hold their heads up. It's also thanks to Lahm and Rensing, otherwise the Bayern youth team would have to let these boys spend today.

In this game, Zhuo Yang, Bantam Tiger, and Second Brother each scored one goal, and Little Pig, Scar, and De Jong each had one assist.

In this way, after the last game before Christmas, the Madiburg team accumulated 17 points from 19 games, 4 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses, and rose to the bottom three.

A pleasant winter break has arrived.

As if an appointment, on the first day of the winter break, the first snow of the winter fell in Hanover.
