Chapter Twenty-Seven: Intra-Team Fights

In the afternoon of the day after the defeat, the team began to gather for the next game against Hertha Berlin.

Before practice, Fink gave a speech to kick the players up in spirit, and after the big defeat, he was worried that the team's morale would plummet.

After that, the training also changed, Dick Meyer, Zobich, Westerman, and the newly returned Chinese-German player Lin Zhijian and other defenders were taken by the team's defensive coach Leif for special training.

It is mainly the joint defense of several defenders in the case of offensive players who cannot return to the attack, which is also a training for the counterattack of Hoffenheim in the last game.

Left wing-back Jansen, who had performed well in the first two games, suffered a fractured toe and could be out for a long time.

Players in other positions are training with Fink, and the training task is mainly to train on crosses, mainly because Fink has tasted the sweetness of the wide attack when playing Schalke.

Although their midfield is good, they haven't had chemistry yet, so it's going to take a slow run-in, but it's clear that there's not much time for them to settle in, especially in the next game against promoted Hertha Berlin.

In the box, Lasoga and Song Jong faced each other, and Fink had the two of them take turns as strikers and defenders.

This defensive method is very ingenious, first of all, it stimulates the sense of competition between the two, and the two will improve when there is competition, and they can train the prediction and positioning of the ball at the same time.

And this training is completely beneficial to Song Zhong, Song Zhong played defender before his body crossed, although he played averagely, but with the ability to head the ball at 7 points, plus Song Zhong's own accurate prediction of the landing point of the ball.

This training was just to deliberately put a few goals into Lasoga, otherwise it is estimated that Lasoga will not be able to hit a single ball, and Song Zhong is crushing Lasoga when he is attacking the side.

After an hour of training, Fink reunited the team for a team-wide practice.

This time, Fink emphasized the policy of using physical superiority to drive technical organization, a tactic that literally, Fink summed up after the loss to Hoffenheim and corrected his mistakes in the summer.

Fink's most successful thing last season was the technical organization, so in the summer, with attackers such as Berry and Son Heung-min leaving, he brought in Lasoga and Calhanoglu, who were completely unable to adapt in the last game, while Calhanoglu had problems with midfielders such as Van der Vaart and could not adapt.

And Song Zhong has no skills at all......

So after his failure, he found a new direction, of course, this is not a negation of his previous arrangement, but a seemingly contradictory correction.

The physical condition of the entire Hamburg team is excellent except for Van der Vaart and Calhanoglu, two technical players, and all Fink needs the physical advantages of the whole team to drive Van der Vaart and Calhanoglu to organize and organically combine the two.

But shortly after Fink started training, Rincón and Ogo on the right side of the team actually got into a fight.

"That ball just now, you can obviously pass it to me and let me deal with it, why are you so reckless? How many times has it been since summer? Ogo yelled at Rincón.

"Anyway, I've lost the ball for you, so I might as well deal with it myself." Rincón waved his hand, and there was a slight disdain in his tone.

This makes Ogo angry, you are a young player, and you haven't played any results, so you have this attitude towards me, an old player?

Then, the two went from arguing to quickly becoming a direct fight.

But the two have clearly had a long-standing grudge, having been training since the summer, and the recent fiasco with Hoffenheim was the trigger.

Everyone hurried up to separate the two people, Van der Vaart hugged Ogo, and Song Zhong and Calhanoglu teamed up to pull Rincón away.

"Let go of me, Song! I've been upset with him for a long time! Rincón shouted as he struggled.

"Calm down, calm down! The coach has already arrived. Song Zhong hugged Lin Kong and persuaded him.

At this time, Fink walked over with a calm and gloomy face.

…………

The two were accompanied by staff and walked back to the two locker rooms of the training base.

Everyone at the bottom continued to train, and as for the training of the physical advantage in the attack, it was to take the side, and it had been trained before the joint training began, so this did not last long, and the amount of attack this morning was completed.

The most important thing is the defense of the whole team, using the defense of the number advantage of the area, when the opponent has the ball, the players divide the passing route of that player, and then the two midfielders are engaged in point-to-point grappling with the ball holder, and in this regard, Fink emphasizes that the two back midfielders should use their physical advantages to complete the interception and delay the development of the ball carrier to the Lebu.

The specific presentation in training was that when Arslan squeezed his players down the middle, Van der Vaart, Calhanoglu, Maxibest and Badelli surrounded the players in the rib positions.

Arslan's defense is basically successful, and in the official game, when Arslan faces the player's strong personal ability, there is a time when the grappling fails, and even if it fails, the dead man's defensive pawn can quickly shrink and complete the steal.

In this training, the biggest change is Van der Vaart, originally as the core of the attack, he had the privilege not to defend, but the team's fiasco also made him feel ashamed, so he took the initiative to join the defensive group.

However, there is also the possibility of failure in the rib defense, in which case the whole team runs towards the penalty area to clear the ball, so that even if the opposite player completes the bottom cross, with the absolute advantage of numbers, the Hamburg players will minimize the possibility of conceding the ball.

…………

A day of training in tireless training passed quickly.

At this time, the punishment results of Rincón and Ogo came down, and the two accepted the criticism and punishment of the club in front of the whole team, and the punishment content was a one-month ban for the two of them in the team and a two-week salary.

The two may have figured it out calmly in the locker room (under the conversation between the coaching staff and the club) and reconciled, although Song Zhong didn't believe much in this, and this grudge would have to last at least a week or so.

But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing for the team as a whole is this weekend's game against Hertha Berlin, where everyone will be hoping to get out of the shadow of the heavy defeat.
