Chapter 166: Don't Get Excited

As soon as the starting lineup was announced, there were surprises for followers, but it was not too surprising.

Booker became the standard firefighter, this time at left-back. The choice of centre-back has caused quite a stir within the team and seems normal from the outside.

Instead of choosing a veteran who has always been poor in psychological quality, it is better to choose a young and old guy to focus on training.

In addition to this, there are also positional adjustments.

The single arrow Sheri was at the front, followed by Kuka, Lu Wei and Klistov. Behind them, Sforza and Latchenho play as the double midfielders.

The formation of 4231 is the first time this season, and in such a crucial game, there is a temporary change of formation, both a choice of desperation, and a plan to take risks to break through.

However, in the pre-game predictions, many people imagined that the newcomers who could not be named did not have a single one in the 18-man squad.

In a game like this, Rehhagel wouldn't gamble his luck with a guy who hasn't played in the league.

Trust is a double-edged sword, throwing the pressure of trust on the other party, and telling everyone that "his usual training performance is very good, and the big scene in front of him is a good test for him", or "he is a little nervous and can't play at a normal level", the guy who does this will obviously be ashamed of the insider.

Ability, experience, state, psychology, and a good understanding of each other are the basis of the burden. Without these, a manager who expects players to perform exceptionally under pressure in order to prove his vision, or denies the value of players because of unsatisfactory performance, is actually stifling the exuberant creative power of young people.

After all, for the vast majority of people. Big hearts are not born!

Gerd Muller and Smittel's live commentators have become regulars in Red Devils games, and this one is certainly no exception.

The two old men's faces were a little nervous at this time, and there was some worry in their focused eyes, as if the team they supported was facing an unfavorable situation.

"Bayer Leverkusen are attacking and they seem to have decided that their opponents don't have enough fitness to handle the challenge. So, they started with a very high tempo. I want to take advantage of the opponent who didn't slow down after the fierce battle. ”

"Judging from the opening ten minutes, they did a good job. The home team's attacking power, which was not affected by the strict zhòng, was unable to be used due to the tight defensive line, and the whole team seemed to be a little tired in the face of the stormy attack. ”

"Lineke has made five effective saves in just over 10 minutes and he's in great shape!"

"Yes, because of his savings, Bayer Leverkusen's plans look a bit damp. The former German international has had a fairly solid performance in this year, and until the last game, he conceded more than two goals in a single game. But. Of the teams that conceded the fewest goals, he wasn't the one who took the most credit. ”

"Huh?"

"Rehhagel."

"That's right. In any mature team, the defense cannot rely only on the defenders. According to the different opponents, choose different types of players, formulate different tactics, and use the active and stable play of the whole team to control the opponent's threat within the acceptable range of the defensive players. Such a team, even if it concedes a goal. Nor will it collapse, even if it misses. They don't complain about each other. ”

"Yes, immature teams tend to be inconsistent, and big wins or defeats are common. Mature teams can control the defensive level at a high level, and even if they lose, they will not give people the feeling of being weak. Twenty-nine league games have been played this season and this Kaiserslautern team has never been beaten by an opponent. Even, when they are in the lead, they are rarely equalized by their opponents. This result is obviously the result of the team's overall operation. ”

'Booker was playing at left-back for the first time and he was adapting well. This situation. It's clearly not just a player who is adaptable. ”

"Definitely. He has played in multiple positions in midfield before, and is also characterized by a balance between attack and defence, with no obvious advantages or disadvantages of the left and right feet. This season, he has been relatively stable in his playing opportunities, and he has made eye-catching performances from time to time, and these solid results have made him full of confidence in his new position. A player like him may not please the media, but he is valuable to the manager. ”

"The lubricant is mediocre and it helps the team run normally."

"In addition to him, among the two central defenders who are under a lot of defensive pressure, Sesk's appearance is decent. There was neither much eye-catching play, nor any obvious mistakes caught by the opponent. ”

"It's a passing grade, let's see if there will be any variables in the next game."

"Of course there is. A team that expects a goalkeeper to play well to save the day is clearly not qualified to hold the Bundesliga leader position for long. Similarly, the Bayer Leverkusen team, which is holding their breath, will not be satisfied with a scoreless situation! ”

"Haha, Daum rarely kept his mouth shut before the game, didn't talk about the game, and ignored the opponent. Rehhagel threatened that he and the team had no way back and would not make excuses. Such contrasting two teams should not lack of energy! ”

"Teams that are good at attacking and defending are often winning in beautiful matchups and losing in ugly stalemates. Not expressing a position before the game is actually an attitude. ”

"There is no point in talking about the sky, every qiē depends on the action!"

"So, Rehhagel means the same thing?"

"That's right, since there is no excuse, then put all your energy into action!"

"The two teams and the two coaches of the needle-to-point Maimang, look at the result of the collision!"

Daum crossed his arms and sat firmly in the coach's seat, not squinting.

To be honest, the apparent advantage of the situation in front of him neither disappointed nor satisfied him much.

Among the few weaknesses in Kaiserslautern, the slow entry into form is one of the more prominent. This is evident from the fact that they often play very differently in the second half. The so-called "roller coaster" and "magical locker room" are, in his opinion, the product of exaggerated claims.

How exaggerated can a short 15 minutes be?

Moreover, not only did he not believe it, but he also felt that this was a smokescreen deliberately released by his opponent. The purpose is to widen the rhythm gap and let the initiative of the game change hands.

He is an experienced senior coach. I know very well the impact of two tough games a week on the players.

The beginning of the game is not exciting enough, the body can't keep up at the end of the game, and the weak-willed guy is prone to lack of attention.

In the face of this obvious advantage, he still did not let his guard down.

There is also a frontless array, but you can't be confused by the good things in front of you!

Regarding the frontless formation, he is well versed in the theory of all-attack and all-defense, and he has also no lack of research.

The meaning of no edge. It's not about soaring ball possession. Control the ball and make yourself invincible, this is the role of the striker formation hidden deep underwater!

A large area of the midfield is occupied by them, and the opponent needs to pay a lot of risk if they want to use the ground to match the midfield. In this case, there will always be guys who tend to play it safe and choose a simpler and more direct way to attack. There may be other attempts at first, but over time, the greater the risk. The fewer people are willing to do so.

Therefore, as long as they keep the overall structure of the formation intact, the opponent's offensive will tend to be simple and direct, and the more single the threat they can create.

Aerial bombing or set-pieces to decide the winner.

These two options are obviously not the situation that the team that aims to control the initiative of the game is willing to see!

How to deal with the strikerless formation, he got good tips from Dortmund in the last game.

Choose a wide player and open up the width of the field. Use speed or skill to force your opponent on the wing and open up the situation!

His choice in this game. That is.

But who would have thought that this kind of arrangement would fall through!

His series of remarks made him look like a guy who was determined to take revenge, but in fact, whether on or off the court, he was reminding his disciples that his opponent was cunning and did not have enough calm and caution. I will fall into the pit from last time!

The effect of such public statements is inevitably to prove themselves with a strong attack for young teams. Therefore, there is no reason why the sharp weapon in the attack of the Bladeless Array should not be used at such a time!

He just couldn't figure it out. Why did Rehhagel put Ballack and Yumo off the field and send a bunch of technical guys to be busy defending on the field!

Both played the full 120 minutes in their last game, and their bodies were very expensive. However, Barak was strong and almost never had any fitness problems, and at the age of 21, he could not be relieved in four days. Youmo is a little more tired than him, and it is normal for him not to start. However, the guy who is not in good form does not seem to be a threat, in fact, as long as he is on the field, he can not only intimidate the opponent, but also use unexpected behavior to create a killing opportunity!

Why can't such two absolute main forces grit their teeth and hold on?

Fifteen minutes into the first half, Bayer Leverkusen's offensive slowed down a bit.

The game is like this, after the wave of attacks are stubbornly resisted by the opponent, the mentality of both sides will have a subtle change.

Bayer Leverkusen were instilled in the manager the importance of an opening three boards before the game, which allowed them to show a high level of concentration from the moment they came on the pitch and repeatedly gained the advantage in the confrontation. But people are not machines, and if they maintain such a high nerve tone all the time, it is inevitable that they will be a little mentally fatigued.

Their flanks were still sharp, their crosses and through-balls were still resolute after breaking, but the opposition didn't mind the battle near the two touchlines, and only used their numerical advantage to hold on to the flanks and the middle. In this case, aside from a powerful center and long-range bombardment, they can threaten Lineker very rarely.

Kirsten and Sergio's two old guns are no longer powerful, and when the technical advantage cannot be brought into play, the reluctant long-range shot is also not very threatening.

Kaiserslautern is still a familiar guy, a familiar tactic, a familiar situation.

The guys in the technical flow are indeed weak in confrontation, Kuka, Sforza, Lu Wei, Klistov, the four are often eaten by opponents in one-on-one defense. But in such a small space, they kept a very reasonable distance from each other. They don't mind the fact that they have been broken through at all, as long as they are crossed by the other party, they turn around and start to chase back quickly.

In this case, unless a series of guys suddenly exert their power, the effect of the breakthrough can be amplified and the advantage can be turned into a victory. Unfortunately, in the camp of all-attack and all-defense, both technical requirements and physical requirements are emphasized, and the importance of team consciousness is far greater than the desire for individual performance. The guys who have been nurtured by this atmosphere for a long time have neither a clear consciousness nor enough personal ability to upset the balance.

Now, with the 15 minutes passed and the gates still secure, the guys of Kaiserslautern Tech Stream are starting to wake up. Their passing and receiving of the ball between each other gradually became pursued, and although the overall formation did not press forward to gain space, the control of the ball in the backcourt began to become stronger.

Lineker, who had been busy all the time, finally had time to breathe.

"Don't get excited."

Lu Wei, who was also busy, shouted clearly in German. (To be continued......)
