Chapter 216: Change
The Munich 1860 players reluctantly returned to the locker room together.
And Jena's players are no better, in the locker room, Heiko's brows have been twisted into a big Sichuan character, and he doesn't know what to say to his players for a while.
After all, after coming to the Bundesliga as a king, he became a civilian in just a few games, and this kind of difference is a player, even if he can't stand it.
In addition to Aachen, St. Pauli and Munich 1860 defended the whole Jena team.
Originally, he thought that Nils would be able to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga after learning to dribble the ball, but who knew that he had already gone out and had already become the focus of major teams, and he was even responsible for marking him when he was not holding the ball.
And Björn, a key sheller, was also locked up, and the horn of the Jena team could not be blown at all.
The previous 3-4-1-2 cavalry tactics were like having their legs cut off, and Jena's attack and defense were completely disjointed.
Although the big guys were holding their breath before the game to wash away their recent grievances of becoming the laughing stock of Germany, everyone's confidence suffered a huge blow after the first half.
Jena, who has always been known for attacking in the German Second Division, could not even create a few great chances in the German Second Division.
So the players who were still joking and laughing at each other in the pre-game warm-up remained silent at the moment.
Except for Nils.
"Hey, you're not going to throw in the towel, are you?"
"Don't worry, with me Niels, scoring goals is not a thing"
"It was an accident in the first half, Munich was tired of defending my defenders, I bet he would have made a mistake in the second half"
Haike glanced at him speechlessly, and said secretly in his heart, am I a coach or are you a coach?
Nils noticed Heko looking at this and immediately shut his mouth.
"Alex, can you still run in the second half?" Heiko looked to the other side.
"Ten minutes at most" Although Alex wants to say that he can continue to hold on, he doesn't want to lie to Heiko, presumably his head coach also found out that he was abnormal in the first half, and several of Munich's strikers brought him a lot of pressure, so he ran extremely hard today.
However, due to too much running in the first half, his physical strength declined rapidly, and he was no longer young, his recovery speed was slow, and the first half of the game basically overdrafted him.
If he continued to run, he estimated that his legs and stomach would definitely cramp.
Although he took over Saipan's position as vice-captain after Saipan left, he also wanted to always try his best on the field, but the years are not forgiving, and his physical fitness at the age of 35 is declining rapidly.
"Where's Steffen?"
"Almost"
"Hmm...... Since you and Alex are running out of steam, I want you and Alex to run out of energy at the start of the second half."
Alex and Steffen looked at each other and nodded, they probably knew what Heiko meant, that is, let them fight for the last of their stamina before being replaced.
"I don't want to end in a draw against Munich 1860 again, but they did a very good job defending, and you know we didn't have many chances after the first half," Heiko didn't say anything to encourage everyone verbally, but instead said the truth he knew without hiding a bit
"So, I need a surprise attack, I need you guys to run for me as soon as I start"
"Björn and Reyna swap, but Reina's main responsibility is to cover Bjorn, I don't want to see him locked up, you are ready to pick him up at any time, Alex and Steffen I ask you to completely carry out the center circle counter-attack in the first ten minutes, no matter who has the ball, rush up, whether there is a chance or not, people have to press me over"
'Everyone has to look for Björn after getting the ball, remember, he's on the right side now'
"Martin and Nils don't move, Bjorn pinpoints them for me, and the diagonal ball goes in"
Heiko marked everyone's tactical march with a pen, and he watched the defense of Munich 1860 throughout the first half.
After forty-five minutes, he finally noticed a sign.
Munich 1860's left-sided players are mainly counterattacking, and the defense does not seem to be very good, when they counterattack, they start from the left side, and when they compress the defense, it is often the players on the right side to fill in the position.
Targeting personnel and tactical play based on weaknesses is a big gamble.
To be honest, Haike doesn't want to use odd when playing, football games are actually the same as the battlefield many times, it is better to use odd than to use stability, under the premise that every player is familiar with their own activity position, it is sometimes not a good thing to always change his activity area for the opponent.
Of course, there are times when the unexpected effect can be achieved, but this change is usually used when the team is helpless.
Haike admits that he is not a master tactician, so he rarely does this in normal games, but today is different, Haike feels that it is very necessary to win this game.
If the away team can score a goal from Munich 1860, even if it is one, it will be a good thing for the Jena team, whose confidence has suffered a lot.
The match against St. Pauli has already made many players start to lose confidence, and Heiko does not want his players' confidence to be hit step by step, just like Jena, who only spent one season in the Bundesliga.
That year, Jena also entered the German Second Division in high spirits, and then did not score one game after another, which finally made the entire Jena completely collapse and returned to the German Second Division with the last place in the season.
And after so many years of silent **** wounds, Haike does not want his hard work to be ruined again, and the Jena with Ye Xin is no longer the Jena of the year, and his goal is no longer the goal of the year.
Winning the championship and rushing to the first place, this is Haike's ideal.
So he has to make a big gamble, he urgently needs Jena to break the forbidden curse of this Bundesliga-style defense, although he knows that other teams may not be as strong as Munich 1860's defense, but if Jena doesn't even have such a little confidence, how can he face a stronger team than Munich 1860 in the future.
If the strength is not enough, the tactics will make up for it.
After Haike arranged the tactics, he let everyone rest for a while, and then led everyone back to the field after receiving the notice.
The cheers at the Allianz Arena resounded again, and after a period of rest, the fans were much more energetic than the players in the stadium, and in wave after wave of Weissblau, the second half of the game officially began.
