Letting Vanney complete two away games in four days and dozens of hours of travel together is a challenge for Vanney's physical fitness, so this time the physical trainer Rebecca will also participate in this long-distance trip with Vanney and Chen Zhuo as a personal trainer.

Although it is not bad to promote the transformation and increase of pink skin through nutrition and training, Vanney is 34 years old after all, which is the age of ordinary people, but for a professional football player, but the physical fitness and competitive state are already in a period of decline and decline after the peak, which has to be admitted.

knew that it might affect Vanney's physical fitness and competitive state, but Chen Zhuo still proposed, and Moniz did not object in the end, which means that Chen Zhuo must have a purpose.

In fact, if it weren't for the impact of the cancellation of European flights, Chen Zhuo would probably have arranged for more players to come to Hoffenheim, because it is not just a Bundesliga match, and in the information collected by the Hamburg coaching staff and the Spanwitz Jishu Center, the overall style of Hoffenheim is very similar to that of the Fulham team! Because the coaching philosophy of Hoffenheim's current head coach Ralph Rangnick is deeply influenced by the theory of the "English model", that is, Hodgson!

(b)

Among the collected information about Rangnick is a short video of Ralph Rangnick, who was then teaching in Ulm in the German Second Division, in December 1998, holding a magnetic tactical board in his hand, explaining his use of a back four parallel positioning and zone defense tactics.

At that time, for Germany, where most teams were using a scavenger defensive system, Rangnick's England 4-4-2 model was ridiculed for nothing, and Rangnick was nicknamed "The Professor" derisively.

In the years that followed, Rangnick took his "back four parallel positioning and zone defense" tactical system to the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, not bad during his time in Stuttgart, then led Hannover to promotion from the Bundesliga to the first division, and then won two league runners-up and one cup runner-up in two seasons in Schalke 04, and was also the most successful coach of Schalke's "Royal Blues", whose 88 points in 44 games even surpassed that of former coach Heynckes.

In 2006, Rangnick accepted Hope's sincere invitation to Hoffenheim, at this time Hoffenheim was still a third-division team, it is because of the team's strict implementation of Rangnick's tactical system and training system, to create the 2006/07 season promoted to the second division, 2007/08 season to the first division, 2008/09 season to win the halfway championship "Huocun Miracle"!

(c)

People are always accustomed to focusing on the winners, and according to their own inertial thinking to understand and summarize their victories, for the "Huocun miracle", people are very accustomed to thinking of Chelsea owner Abou and the Arab consortium behind Manchester City, for Rangnick's tactical system, but rarely talk about it.

Hope is still different from Abu and the Arab consortium, a large part of Hoppe's investment is spent on hardware, just the construction of two stadiums and Hoffenheim's training facilities cost 90 million euros, and another 40 million euros are invested in the upgrading of youth training facilities, which makes Hoffenheim have the hardware facilities second only to Bayern in the Bundesliga.

From 1990 to 2007 to the first division, the total investment of 175 million euros in 17 years, of which 130 million was spent on hardware, this investment is completely different from the investment of Abu and the Arab consortium in terms of recruitment, in terms of recruitment, Hope only invested a total of 25 million euros, and the rest of the 20 million euros responsible for the team's daily expenses are the reserve funds for the team's management team through loans.

Therefore, it is unfair to call Hoffenheim "the Chelsea of the Bundesliga" or "Manchester City of the Bundesliga", and the only common denominator between the three teams is probably that they all wear blue shirts at home.

For Ralph Rangnick, who was more than a decade younger than Hodgson and Houghton, Rangnick was a player in the lower leagues before retiring as a player and assistant coach in the 1987 season at a fourth-tier club called Lippoldswil to coach the second team in Stuttgart.

During Rangnick's tenure as a player, the "English model" of the back four parallel positioning and zone defense theory had already begun to compete with the "scavenger" system in football, and Rangnick will undoubtedly receive a major influence from the AC Milan team with the "Dutch Three Musketeers" at that time, when Rangnick will record every Milan game coached by Sacchi to analyze and learn.

While studying for AC Milan, Rangnick also developed a keen interest in the coaching and tactics of another team, which was the 1989 season, which was the first Serie A season for Foggia after both home and away draws with the mighty Mulan side.

In 1989, Foggia was promoted from the Italian Serie C to the first division in two consecutive years under the leadership of Czech coach Zeman, and in their first season in Serie A, they qualified for the UEFA Cup with a top-six finish.

At that time, the Eastern European teams and the Nordic teams were basically influenced by the theories of Horton and Hodgson, and the Czech coach Zeman was no exception, so in Rangnick's later coaching style, the shadow of Saki and Zeman could be revealed from time to time.

The two consecutive jumps in two years after taking over Hoffenheim in 2006, as well as winning the Bundesliga halfway title in his debut season, can be summed up as a copy of Foggia 20 years ago, or Rangnick also paid tribute to his teacher Zeman in this way.

After going back to the roots, it is very easy to explain if we analyze Hoffenheim's tactical system.

After all, in the scavenger tactical system, there is a central defender who always drags behind the back line, and in the distance between the scavenger and the back line, the opponent can ambush from the two wings to the back back and quickly go down without offside.

Of course, all tactics have pros and cons, and the parallel stance tactics require a high level of one-on-one defensive ability for the four defenders, because they have the goalkeeper behind them, and there is no scavenger behind them.

Horton's defeat in China that year was also due to the weak one-on-one defensive ability of the Chinese defenders, and no matter which of the four defenders made a mistake, it was a fatal blow.

In fact, when the two defenders take turns to insert assists, it can even be understood that the four players in the midfield are the defenders, the two central defenders are double scavengers, and the two fullbacks are two fast horses ambushed behind the midfielders.

(f)

In Hoffenheim's tactics, the shadow of AC Milan in the Sacchi era can also be seen faintly.

AC Milan, which was in full swing at that time, did not stick to the parallel position of the back four or the three front and one back position of the scavenger system, everything depends on the opponent's ability to break through on the wing, and for a team with strong wing attack ability and fast winger, Sacchi will also let the scavenger Baresi and the marking central defender Costacuta adopt a parallel standing area defense mode.

Hoffenheim's two central defenders are obviously not comparable to Baresi and Costa Kuta in terms of individual ability, 31-year-old Croatian central defender Simunic and 18-year-old Alex are a double central defender, Simunic 1.95 meters, Alex 1.93 meters.

The duo is somewhat similar to Fulham's Hammerland and Smalling, but Hoffenheim's 18-year-old Alex is on the bench and Marvin Camber, on loan from Fiorentina, is partnered with Simunic.

This combination is very similar to the combination of Hamellaran and Baird in the match between Fulham and Hamburg, controlling the first and second points respectively.

It was also a rehearsal for Fulham for Hamburg and Chen Zhuo's "double libero", with Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy practicing how to break down the Zuihou line of the back four.

Hoffenheim also have this characteristic compared to Fulham's ferocity, with Simunic and Marvin Campbell both being carded frequently, and Simunic also had a hilarious case of three yellow cards due to referee negligence in a game at the 2006 Shijie Cup in Germany.

Among the shadows of AC Milan, there are so many indelible, the Dutch Three Musketeers, left-back Maldini, left-back Ronaldo, the point-grabbing demon Inzaghi, and the free-kick master Pirlo, which are some copycats in Hoffenheim.

Copycat Rijkaard, is 1.87 meters Brazilian defender Gustavo, this player born in 1987 was Hoffenheim in the 2007 season of a lower Brazilian league loan, in the 2008 season Hoffenheim used the right of first refusal to sign for 1 million euros, this player has now been favored by Bayern, the offer has exceeded 10 million euros.

Carlos Eduardo, known in Brazil as Ronaldinho, is also a Brazilian player, a player recruited by Hoffenheim before the start of his maiden season in the Bundesliga, and the transfer fee paid to Brazilian Gremio was 8 million euros at the time, and now Eduardo's value has risen to 20 million euros.

Known as a copycat Eto'o, Nigerian striker Obasi, who has the same size and speed as the African cheetah, adapts well to Hoffenheim's through-ball counter-attacking system.

Known as the copycat Inzaghi, it is Bosnian striker Ibisevic, and Obasi and Eduardo were introduced to Hoffenheim before the 08 season, and Ibisevic, who only spent Hoffenheim 250,000 euros in transfer fees, can be described as cheap, and the half-way championship of the Hochon miracle is inseparable from the high production of 18 goals scored by Ibisevic in 17 league games.

During the winter break of the 08/09 season, Ibisevic suffered a cruciate ligament strain in a warm-up match, which took more than five months to recover, and at the beginning of the 2009/10 season, he scored a hat-trick against Hertha Berlin in the third round, and the recovery was satisfactory.

Incidentally, the warm-up match in which Ibisevic was injured was played against Hamburg......

At the same price as Ibisevic, Salihovic, who is also a Bosnian player, is already a veteran of Hoffenheim, the assist king and promotion hero of the German Second Division, and is still the main player on the field of Hoffenheim.

He is also the only player to have made a triple jump with Hoffenheim from the third division and has been named a regular in all three divisions of the team, and the 27-year-old has improved a lot with Hoffenheim. The eight-year-old who fled to Germany to escape the war and later joined the Hertha Berlin academy has no objections as Hoffenheim's captain.

(viii)

Strikers "Eto'o" Obasi and "Inzaghi" Ibisevic both started today, which was a test for the two "hinges" of the Hamburg team, which was dominated by substitutes.

Four midfielders, the left midfielder is "Copycat Ronaldo" Eduardo, the right midfielder is the "Bundesliga assist king" Salihovic, the double back in addition to the "copycat Rijkaard" Gustavo, and Tobias Weiss, among these four players, Weiss, who transferred from Stuttgart, is the main player transferred from the 2007 German second season, and is currently in the squad of the German national team.

The back four are Marvin Cambell and Simunic today, the right wing-back is Andreas Beck, who is currently in the 27-man squad, and the left wing-back is Brazil's 32-year-old defender Christian, who is also the oldest player on the pitch.

The similarity with Fulham's defense is that they are both offensive and defensive wing-backs, the left-back of the two full-backs is one of the weaknesses, and the combination style of the two central defenders is also very similar, so it is really suitable for Chen Zhuo and Vanney, the "double libero" combination, to use Hoffenheim as a warm-up model!
