Members of the Bochum coaching staff were watching the final rounds of the Hoffenheim league game, each holding a pen and a piece of paper, watching and recording something.

The coaching staff watches a game with a different focus than the spectators, who follow the ball when they watch the game, so their attention is generally only on the football and a few players nearby.

When the coaching staff studies the game, they focus on one or a few players on the pitch throughout the game.

Neururell was observing Hoffenheim at this time.

They have three regular strikers, one is their top scorer, No. 23 Salihovic from Bosnia and Herzegovina; One is No. 18 Joséru from Spain; There is also a striker No. 9 Skiplock from his country, these three have only scored a total of 17 goals in a season, which is similar to Shen Peng, of course, they are in the Bundesliga, and the opponent is not the same.

In addition, they have two strong scoring points in the team, one is the No. 20 striker Firmino from Brazil, who scored a total of 5 goals; Then there is the No. 31 striker Woland, who has played all 34 games this season and scored six goals.

Therefore, although there are not many capable goals in the Hoffenheim team, the overall situation of multi-point flowering makes it relatively difficult for Bochum to defend.

"Mr. Coach, if we team Hoffenheim, or use a single back tactics, it may be more difficult, after all, our team is currently in addition to Shen Peng, the strength of the other players in the Bundesliga can only be regarded as the middle of the stream, Hoffenheim is also a team that has worked hard in the Bundesliga for a season, if we are not careful, I am afraid we will lose."

"Yes, they have five scoring points, and when I look at their defense, they are also very deep, just relying on the current team of forwards, even if Shen Peng has a strong ability to assist, I am afraid it will be difficult to score."

Neururell pondered that this game was different from the previous German Cup.

In the German Cup, they just participated with the attitude that it was good to win, and they were not angry if they couldn't win, they didn't study their opponents; The opponents are all teams in the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga, and they will not spend time and effort researching a Bundesliga team, so there are still some fortuitous factors for them to win.

But now it's different, the league has ended, and this promotion and play-offs are also related to who can play in the Bundesliga in the end, and Hoffenheim will definitely study Shen Peng carefully and make targeted arrangements.

Shen Peng is a single back, Hoffenheim may bypass him, attacking from the two wings, judging from the video, the ability of their two wings is not weak, and the assist ability is very strong, so this is a kind of play that they are likely to use.

"That's a bit of a hassle, do you have any suggestions?" Neu Rurel asked, a question he usually asks and finds some inspiration in the other members' thinking.

'I think we can use a double midfielder to protect both wings.

"I don't think it's good, except for Shen Peng, the other people in the team who can play in the back are very average, so it is easy to become a breakthrough point for Hoffenheim."

"Then, otherwise, with a five-back lineup, the midfield is still a four-person diamond-shaped position, and Shen Peng plays in the back. With Shen Peng, the middle can be a little more reassuring, and the back five can put two on each side to contain their wing attacks. ”

"According to you, in this way, there is only one striker in the frontcourt? Originally, these strikers in the team are not strong in individual ability, what goals will we score at that time? Do you want us to play two 0-0 games? With that said, we can now start practising penalties. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?"

"If you want me to see, why don't we play defensive counter-attacks? Set up a bus, wait for them to play, and then use Shen Peng's long-range shots and assists to score. ”

"You can think of it, Hoffenheim must have thought of it too, seeing us defending and counterattacking, they will not be stupid enough to attack around us, they will definitely pay attention to Shen Peng, and keep people defending."

At this time, Hobert, the assistant coach who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said: "I think the defensive counterattack is good, but ...... We can let Shen Peng play as a striker. ”

As soon as these words came out, several other people were stunned, letting Shen Peng play as a striker?

But Neururell's eyes lit up.

Bochum's current offensive striker is not good, so let Shen Peng play as a striker!

If they play defensive counter-attack, most players defend at the back, there is only one single striker in the front, and the midfield and backfield cannot give effective support to the striker, so the individual ability of the striker is very important.

Although Shen Peng has been playing in the back, but in terms of ability, he is actually not inferior to the forwards in the team, and more importantly, Shen Peng has been playing in the back, and there are two characteristics that have been ignored, that is, his speed and physical fitness.

His speed has never had a chance to play, but his physical fitness is obvious to all: Shen Peng did not look very tired after a game, and in Neururell's opinion, Shen Peng could play another 90 minutes.

And now, playing a defensive counterattack, if Shen Peng has been using his speed to impact the opponent's defense, it can also consume the physical strength of the opponent's defenders.

In addition, Bochum played defensive counterattacks before Shen Peng came, so if they defend, even without Shen Peng, they are completely fine, and now with Shen Peng in the frontcourt, the pressure on defense will be less.

"Good! So decided, we play defensive counterattack, the single striker decided to be Shen Peng, now, let's study the layout of the backcourt, and defend these five scoring points in their team. ”

Neururell immediately decided that the only thing needed now was to tell the players the news and get them ready for practice, after all, there were no regular strikers on the field in these two games, and Shen Peng also needed to practice how to handle the ball when facing defenders.

"Do we need to look at their backcourt defense?"

"No, I don't." Neulurell showed a confident smile, "Believe Shen Peng, we just need to ensure that we don't lose the ball now, as for how much to score, it depends on his ability." ”

At the same time, Hoffenheim's coaching staff watched Bochum's footage repeatedly, focusing on Bochum's match against Freiburg in the German Cup, which they found informative.

After discussing with the coaching staff, head coach Gisdore came to a conclusion: "They may play defensive counter-attacks at our home stadium, and their defense will be more solid with Shen Peng, so we can't rush. The backfield should also pay attention to Shen Peng's long-range shots and assists, their main striker Dedic has not yet returned, so for their striker, we only need to find someone to stare him to death. ”
