When he knew that he was coming to RB Leipzig, the club's sporting director, Ralph Rangnick, asked manager Ralph Ralph Ralchenhuttl: "He's here, have you figured out how to plan for the new season?" ”

As a new force in German football, RB Leipzig has given the public a brave and confident temperament since its establishment, especially after promotion to the Bundesliga this season.

As a former Austria international striker, Ralph Hasenhuttl brings Leipzig's fast-attacking style of play full of enthusiasm and attacking power. However, with the help of a group of energetic young people, it is also worth observing whether they can have efficient and long-lasting endurance.

Ralph Halchenter's forward tactics are somewhat similar to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, with no point centre-forwards, and the frontcourt players running freely, taking turns to play as a forward arrowhead in the midfield/shadow striker position, this rotational forward movement promotes the rationality of the team's movement and maximizes the disruption of the opponent's defensive positioning.

The disadvantage is that the team's attacking combination in the front court must greatly improve the ability to run, and if the players are not young enough, it is easy to fall behind due to physical weakness in the long league period, so the youth of the team is a tactical requirement for the team.

The so-called "four forwards" in the 424 system must provide effective support for the control and defense of the midfield, and the running of the "four forwards" must ensure that they cover all positions in the frontcourt.

Last season, the rotational style of play without a striker was the standard for RB Leipzig, and the talented center David Sec, although full of aura, as a strong high school forward, obviously did not have the ability to run out of position in a large area as Yusof Paulsen said and the ability to connect the "forward midfield/winger" who connected the side through passing, so when the summer transfer window opened, Sec transferred to the capital team Hertha Berlin for 8 million euros.

Selling his home register to a league opponent, where is Poulsen from Denmark?

Despite being 192 cm tall, he is not exactly a strong centre-forward, Paulsen is more of a free man with speed and strength in the frontcourt, with dribbling, playmaking, and breakthrough on the wing, and he can use his height to control the long passes in the backfield when he is in the middle.

In a speed-based tactic, there must be a point of contact in the front court that can control the ball from the back and protect the ball and wait for a teammate to plug in.

Today's football has emerged a type of fulcrum players who have both height and speed, and can pull the side to attack, such as Paulsen and Stoke City's Marco Arnautovic, etc., the fulcrum role is still there, but it is more flexible, facing opponents with strong air defense, or opponents who use crowd tactics to strangle the offensive fulcrum, they can also be transformed into dribbles and breakers to avoid being prevented from death.

Although Paulsen's fulcrum ability is far inferior to the departing Celke, his huge area of activity and excellent speed, dribbling and ability to disengage as a winger are the reasons why Hasenhuttl chose him, and his ability to give effective attacks on both the left and right can make the opponent's defense more loose and allow the more killer players to insert into the gap and wait for the delivery of shells.

Hostenhütter's strategy of "breaking the middle on the side" is clearly quite effective in the Bundesliga, which is still dominated by central striker tactics, and the tall central defenders have not yet fully adapted to this non-central striker style of play.

Talented striker Timo Werner, who joined last summer, has been at home in Hasenhuttl's rotation tactics, and due to his adaptability, speed and good dribbling, Hasenhuttl has given him a wide libero strategy.

Unlike Paulsen, Werner, who has a better shooting ability, is the finishing agent for RB Leipzig, and even though Werner rarely attacks from the middle, the sudden start of the wing is the core feature of his "big talent, big weapon", and his free play of hitting the opponent's ribs or sudden or passing after receiving the ball is fatal to the opponent's defence.

In the front three, Paulsen tore open space in front of him, Timo Werner slotted into the box from the wings, and Emile Forsberg was responsible for passing or scoring himself. At the heart of this style of play is the need for Timo Werner to use his pace to quickly occupy the area behind the opposition full-backs to attract the attention of the opposition and create confusion before picking up the spot.

Compared to Paulsen, Werner is the real player who can play the best on both wings, and Werner, who played as a lone striker in Stuttgart, also has good tactical adaptability.

For now, though, what Timo Werner needs is to find his tactical position, whether a winger or a central striker or a number nine and a half is more suitable for him; Whether to use his pace to break through opponents or rely more on his ability to snatch two points is something that both Timo Werner and Ralph Hasenhuttl need to think about, and the age of 20 is the perfect time to get the ball up and set the shot, and there is no doubt that a player with better positioning will always have more heights.

In the front four of RB Leipzig, Paulsen's finishing ability is relatively insufficient, Werner's core function is not clear enough, Forsberg is a relatively comprehensive player in the front four, his position in the front combination is more like a left midfielder or left side playmaker, but his good finishing ability and better dribbling, ball control, and passing ability than Werner are the core capital.

With 8 goals and 22 assists last season, the Bundesliga assist leader, the outstanding performance of the Swedish talent has made him the target of many giants this summer.

As a modern playmaker on the wing, Forsberg's ability to attack and blast on the side is still relatively lacking, but its efficient passing and tireless running ability can still make up for its shortcomings, in fact, in Hasenhuttl's tactics, the work of breaking through the wing has been completed by center forward Paulsen and second striker Werner and the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer in the wing midfield, and Forsberg's task is only to organize and attack after cutting inside the wing.

In Ralhasenhuttl's 424-like system, except for Forsberg as the playmaker on the left wing, Sabitzer in the right midfield position is more like a wing-back, who will always pull the side to provide Werner with attacking width when Werner is on the right, and Sabitzer needs to occupy the winger position when Werner is away.

His running area and attacking intensity are not as good as Timo Werner's, but Sabitzer can ensure that the attack and defense are integrated on the right flank, and his contribution to the defense and positioning cannot be ignored.

Ralph Hasenhuttel's use of Sabitzer is to use his pace and dribbling to plump up the attack and defence on the right flank, and he just needs to keep running up and down the right flank. Although his passing is a bit rough, his good dribbling ability and finishing ability are worth looking forward to.
