Chapter 552: A New Positioning

Dragging his tired body, Bayern Munich finally ended his circle of money and returned to Germany, but after only three or four days of rest, Germany's first event, the German League Cup, was about to start.

This German League Cup is not quite the same as France's, France's is a season-long competition, the same as the major cups, and the German League Cup is named a League Cup, in fact, it is a Super Cup, and the top six teams in the German League last year played a small elimination game.

The third to sixth place finishers play a round to win the two teams and the champion and runner-up, and the winner goes on to the final.

But it's also good, it's just a warm-up before the league officially starts, just like the NBA preseason.

The six teams participating in the tournament are Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bochum, Hamburg, Hertha Berlin and Stuttgart, with Bayern Munich having a bye in the first round and the winner of Hamburg and Hertha Berlin in the second round for a place in the final.

In fact, Fan Shang has some slander about this competition, and the Super Cup of other countries is a game, so it is really difficult to have a small cup competition in Germany.

Due to the bye, Vincent first watched the match between Hamburg and Hertha Berlin, in fact, Vincent wanted to observe Deisler's performance when he returned to Hertha Berlin, but Deisler did not play, and it seems that he was not having a good time in his old club Hertha Berlin.

Hamburg and Hertha Berlin are both pure German teams, with a tough style of play, the formation is a standard 442, there is nothing particularly outstanding, the attack and defense are balanced, but there are no special shortcomings.

In the end, Hamburg defeated Hertha Berlin 3-1, and Bayern Munich's semi-final opponent was Hamburg.

This kind of team with no shortcomings and no strengths is the most difficult, but Fan Shang still has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of opponent, that is, to get a place stronger than them to fight to the death.

Hamburg's strength is actually not weak, but it is not too strong, and it is basically composed of marginal internationals from some first-class countries, or the main internationals from second- and third-rate countries.

The former is represented by Cardoso and Romero, who have been selected for the Argentine national team, who together have made no more than one appearance for Argentina, and Germany's fringe international Beinrich, who has made as many appearances as the two Argentines.

The representatives of the latter are Iranian international Madavicya, Bosnian striker Babarec, and Japanese Naotai Takahara, who are all leaders in the national team, but they are at the average level in the Bundesliga.

So after looking for a long time, Fan Shang felt that it was better to start with their wings, not because Hamburg's wings were weak, but because Fan Shang felt that the impact of Bayern Munich's wings was still relatively strong.

So Vincent decided that the match would be held in the small German town of Jena, using the home of the local team, Carl Zeiss Jena Club, which was a humble stadium with a long history, and the facilities were directly proportional to the history.

In this stadium with a strong SLR atmosphere, Fan Shang ushered in his debut in Germany.

Vincent's previous "cuju" tactics in Valencia successfully took off Vincent's defensive hat, but when he arrived at Bayern Munich, Vincent picked up his old job again, and the main tone of Bayern Munich led by Vincent this year is defensive counterattack.

The formation of this game is basically the formation of Bayern Munich this season, Vincent lined up a 451 formation today, the goalkeeper is captain Kahn, four defenders, Lizarazu, Kufuor, Kovac and Sagnol, five midfielders, Robben, Jeremes, Ze Roberto, Ballack and Ribery, striker Morientes.

Needless to say, as long as Kahn is not injured, he will always stand in front of the Bayern Munich goal, the four defenders are a parallel position, Lizarazu and Sagnor may move forward when they counterattack, but it is similar to when they were in Bordeaux, they are still mainly defensive.

The central defenders may be adjusted according to the different opponents, to be honest, this central defender combination is not very satisfied, there is no problem in the Bundesliga, and when it comes to the European arena, it is really not enough.

In order to solve the problem of the lack of ability of the central defender, Fan Shang put three players in the back position, one sweeping, two all-rounders, and the sweeping type is Jerry Mouths, judging from his appearance, he does this job, and his long hair goes to Hollywood to play a Texas chainsaw murderer or something without makeup.

This kind of back is Fan Shang's favorite, every place you go to find such a person, if the team has a chance to talk about reuse, if not, then buy one, Brockie, Tovding, are all such players.

However, Jeremes is now in his prime, and one person can use it as at least one and a half people.

The two all-round midfielders are Ze Roberto and Ballac, Ballack only knows Fan Shang's tactical thinking very well, he said that he is a revolutionary brick when Fan Shang came to Fanshang, and Fan Shang can use him as much as he can.

And Ze Roberto is a little interesting, Vincent originally recommended him to Lemaire, but in the end it did not change Ze Roberto's fate, and he was still bought by Bayern Munich. This brother is a midfielder with the speed of a winger, and to Fanchamp's surprise, in the first team physical test, his speed was on par with Riberylo's, and even faintly faster than them, which surprised Vincent. And his endurance is also one of the best in the team, such an all-round talent Fan Shang doesn't use it, so who will use it.

Although there are still Hargreaves and Schweinsteiger on the bench, the above three people are the candidates for Fan Shang's main back this year.

Needless to say, the Ribeiro combination, although both of them are less than 20, but the impact shown in training has left teammates speechless, Robben's inward shot, Ribery's side breakthrough, are all the existence that cannot play teammates.

The striker is actually very mobile, because this is Bayern Munich's weakest link now, Morientes, Larsson, Ziegler and Pizarro, to be honest, none of the four is at the level of the giants, so Morientes, who has been the main player in Real Madrid for several years, is the first choice of Vincent now, if there is a chance during the winter break, Vincent would like to add a strong striker.

Of course, although this lineup is a defensive counterattack, if it can control the midfield, it can also be without defensive counterattack, and the key word of Fan Shang this year is running.
