The start of the Asian Cup is less than a month away, and in that month, Hamburg have only three games, two of which are in the third round of the German Cup.

The opponent of the German Cup is still a Bundesliga team, and there is no threat to Hamburg, so Ling Feng can rest assured that he will not play in these two games, so that the Hamburg team can adapt to the game process in his absence as soon as possible.

The worst thing is Lille, originally he was the parallel head coach in name only, whether it was training or playing, he just had to sit on the sidelines, and act at the right time to look at Ling Feng's eyes, but once Ling Feng was not there, Lille became like a headless fly, and the kind of "unpredictable" means rumored by the outside world could not be used, so he could only do it there in a hurry.

You can't completely blame Lille, as a coach of the youth team, he still has the ability to command the team, but once Ling Feng leaves, the players of the Hamburg team can't adapt at all, without Ling Feng's passing and breakthrough, you can still kick when you encounter a weak team, but when you encounter a slightly stronger team, you will be messed up, which was the case when you played against Bayer Leverkusen in the last game.

So what Ling Feng has to do now is to put a set of tactics on top of the Hamburg team in his absence, and then let Lille see the opportunity to adopt a corresponding strategy and adapt to the situation.

The tactics formulated by Ling Feng are very simple, that is, to slightly change the tactical system left by Magath, focusing on defense, relying on Baron's height and the speed of the wings when attacking, plus the involvement of Ivanoskas, it seems to be the same.

Lille's leisurely days were gone, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of the organizers of the Asian Cup thoroughly in his heart, if it weren't for this Asian Cup, Ling Feng would not have gone back, and he wouldn't have to suffer such a crime.

Lille scolded hard in his stomach, and several officials of the AFC felt cold for a while, and looked at the sky in surprise, it is only the end of autumn, why is the weather getting colder?

In the first match of the third round of the German Cup, Hamburg challenged Mainz FC in the Bundesliga away.

Coming to Mainz, one of Germany's most famous sights and the beginning of one of the most beautiful stretches of the Rhine, the city is small but rich in history and culture.

After getting off the bus, Ling Feng felt a quaint atmosphere, which is rare in the modern Germany in front of him, so Ling Feng temporarily decided to take the brothers in Hamburg to travel to the city, as for the pre-game training - anyway, the training is like that or not, such a game does not need to care at all.

In the Hamburg team, Ling Feng is the boss, and Lille is just a follower, and he has no status in the hearts of the players, so when Ling Feng announced that everyone did not need to train and relax by traveling, the players of the Hamburg team were jubilant. Lille was about to speak, but when he saw a pair of eager eyes, he closed his mouth very knowingly—the kind of eyes Lille had seen a lot, and at some point the eagerness was not much different from the meaning of threat......

Mainz is famous for its 50th parallel, so the first thing to do is the gold-and-bronze marker on Gutenbergplatz in the center of the city.

A group of people stepped on this latitude line, which made the surrounding citizens of Mainz feel very strange - tourists do this to see a lot, but a dozen people at the same time this POSE is a bit spectacular, and if you look closely, it turns out to be the Bundesliga leader who is about to play the German Cup with his own team - the players of the Hamburg team.

Ling Feng is also famous, now among the stars in the Bundesliga, no one has such a fame as him, coupled with Ling Feng's already handsome and sunny face, it immediately attracted a large group of German blonde beauties to hug up and ask for autographs and group photos.

This was what Ling Feng was most afraid of, but a group of beautiful women surrounded him, and Hao Haidong and the others next to him had already taken this opportunity to run away, leaving Ling Feng alone with a strong smile and a sign while scolding in his stomach - uh, there are still two signatures, one Chinese one German......

"The German fans are so enthusiastic!" Returning to the hotel prepared by the Mainz club, Ling Feng sighed, these German MMs really give face, and they don't let go of Ling Feng, so they have a big "you come to my house tonight", which makes Ling Feng flattered - like a rabbit, he stopped a taxi and ran away when he saw an opportunity......

"Be sure to wear a hat and sunglasses when you go out in the future!" This is the experience that Ling Feng summed up, and the entanglement with these fans is more tiring than playing a game - it can't be a tactic deliberately arranged by the Mainz team, right? ?

On the third day of the game, Ling Feng did not start, which made the fans of Mainz happy and regretful, happy that Ling Feng did not play, and Hamburg's attack was reduced by more than half; It's a pity that I can't see the performance of this player in the limelight in the Bundesliga, and I'm sorry for the ticket in my hand......

By this time, the game had already played 20 minutes, the score was 1-0, and Hamburg scored with a header from Baron through a free-kick opportunity in front.

Looking at Vieira's steady defense on the field, Ling Feng nodded approvingly, Vieira's current progress is obvious to all, if there is no him, the Hamburg team's current back line does not dare to compliment at all, in the past, there was Ling Feng's powerful attack to cover up the holes in the Hamburg team's defense, but when encountering that kind of strong team, the weaknesses in the Hamburg team's back line are completely exposed, and the game with Bayern Munich fully illustrates this problem, if there is no Vieira in that game, even if Ling Feng scores four goals alone, Unable to recover the Hamburg team's decline.

Ling Feng couldn't stop whispering to Lille on the sidelines, and in the eyes of the reporters, it was the head coach and the number one star of the team discussing tactics - in fact, Ling Feng kept teaching Lille what to pay attention to.

For example, the morale of the players, the changes in the scene, the opponent's tactical arrangement, the strengths and weaknesses of his own side and the opponent's players, etc., a good coach needs to grasp the various factors on the field to make reasonable arrangements and make the best use of people - Ling Feng does this very well, for example, he usually trains with the strong Hollebach to carry water, let the fast Ivanoscas help him carry things, and the tall Baron helps him clean the ceiling......

Mainz is an underdog, both historically and in terms of the current squad.

When Ling Feng didn't come, the Hamburg team could still say: "I want to ...... back then", and the best result of the team founded in 1905 in his 90-year history was to win the German championship of the amateur team in 1982......

For a team that only reached the Bundesliga in 1990, their goal now is not to finish the first division - but to relegation, and God knows what bribes to allow teams like Mainz to reach the third round of the German Cup?

After opening the information of Mainz, I learned that Mainz's first opponent was the Lepziger team of the German Second Division - a team that was not better than them, but won 1:0 at home and drew 0:0 away, and it was difficult to qualify for the second round; In the second round of the game, they also did not meet a strong team, the opponent was the Aachen team of the German Second Division - that is, the team that Xie Hui went to later - in the first away game, the two teams drew 1:1, and after returning to the home field, the Mainz team drew 0:0 with the opponent, and staggered to the third round with an away goal, but did not expect to meet the Hamburg team, the leader of the Bundesliga.

However, for the fans of Mainz, this result is already good, with the current eighth place in the German Second Division to reach the third round of the German Cup, lost at the feet of the leader, this result is already very satisfactory to the fans, so even if the team is currently behind, the fans do not have a trace of dissatisfaction - if there is any dissatisfaction, probably only not seeing Ling Feng play......

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Ivanoscas found an opportunity in front of the penalty area, forced his way to the edge of the penalty area, beat a defender and hit the goal, the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper and bounced, and Baron poked his toe to expand the score to 2:0 - it seems that this is one of the few goals scored by Baron with his feet this season......

Ling Feng retracted into the stool, it seemed that he didn't have to play in this game, there was no point in playing such a team, at best, it was just for the players in Hamburg to practice new tactics, but it didn't work.

In other words, only next week's game against Duisburg will confirm the current line-up, and all that needs to be done now is to familiarize the Hamburg players with their new line-up as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Mainz player throwing a throw-in, Ling Feng asked Lille to call Kovacevic to the sidelines, and the three of them muttered on the sidelines - to be precise, Ling Feng muttered to Kovacevic, and Lille listened on the sidelines.

Mainz's defenders are not very strong, and Ling Feng's request is for Kovacevic to pass on to Hollerbach and others, so that the two fullbacks can press up again and attack the opponent's backline through the wings.

When Ling Feng was on the field, the Hamburg team completely revolved around Ling Feng and attacked with him as the core, but when he was not on the field, few players could pass the most suitable pass at the most appropriate time like Ling Feng, so at this time in the front court, it was necessary to rely on Baron, the beacon of Hamburg's production.

Baron's height of 1.96 meters is not a waste, but the passes of other players are not very good, and Baron belongs to the kind of player who can only stand in place and wait for the ball, so his height advantage has not been able to play out.

This reminds Ling Feng of Beckham, Comrade Xiaobei's right foot is the best in the world, he is the most suitable for passing the ball to such a high school striker, but whether it is the England national team or Real Madrid, Comrade Xiaobei has not found a partner like this, and then look at his partner Van Nistelrooy when he was at Manchester United, the cooperation between the two can be described as seamless, not to mention, Vanney is not the kind of player who can only head the ball, and the skills at his feet are equally excellent.

However, Ling Feng was a little afraid to look at Beckham, his Beckham arc has now been renamed "Ling's" arc, I don't know if our Comrade Xiaobei will go to the space-time patent office to sue him......

Thinking wildly, the first half of the game was over, 2:0, and the Hamburg team easily led into the second half with a two-goal advantage.

At halftime, Ling Feng once again emphasized the attack on the side, asking Hollerbach and Skop to pay attention to the assist, with Vieira in the middle, and he was not afraid of the opponent's counterattack, but for the sake of insurance, Ling Feng still replaced the forward Breiten Reiter and replaced Kemiske, and played with Vieira to strengthen the defense in the middle.

Under Ling Feng's coercion, Hollebach and Skop, who originally wanted to be lazy, gave up this tempting idea, because if Ling Feng found out that he was lazy, the end would be very miserable - that damn dog was already addicted to chasing them now, and maybe the bite would be a little heavier......

I can only pray that the rabies vaccine works......

In the second half of the game, the fans of Mainz were disappointed to see Ling Feng continue to sit on the bench, without a trace of wanting to play - for them, the game was already lost anyway, and it was worth it to see Ling Feng's performance.

However, Ling Feng had no intention of playing, and just continued to point fingers at the players on the field with head coach Lille on the sidelines.

However, Mainz's players felt different, in the first half, Hamburg mostly attacked from the middle, and occasionally only two full-backs sent in low crosses when there was no chance in the middle, but now, Kovacevic and Spoh are more in the middle, and the two full-backs are pressing.

The pressure on the Mainz backline immediately increased, and they now have to defend six attacking players, two more than in the first half, and for a while the backline was full of chickens and dogs.

Ling Feng's tactics were indeed successful, and in the first ten minutes of the second half, Hollebach passed the ball on the left flank, and Baron in the middle scored a header to complete his hat-trick of the game.

Hamburg continued to work hard, breaking through the flanks one after another, and finally created two more chances in the 27th and 39th minutes of the second half, with one goal each from Baron and Ivanoskas, and Hamburg won 5-0.

"It looks like this tactic is not bad," Ling Feng smiled and muttered to himself, "The next game should test how well this tactic's defense is......"
