Section 141 Tailor-made tactical system
(a)
During the intermission, the commentators of many broadcast TV stations were doing a common thing, which was to score points. The Bundesliga, which is still four rounds away, has come to an end, and in the current situation, in the top three, Bayern and Schalke are slowly taking a big lead over Bayer Leverkusen, basically two Champions League matches and one Champions League qualifying place are for the three of them.
The next five teams are vying for three Europa League places, and in order to ensure that the competition is fair, except for the insignificant match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Hertha Berlin, and the disparity between Bayern Munich and Hannover, the remaining seven games of this round start at the same time.
At the end of the first half, Wolfsburg temporarily led Bremen 2-1 at home, Stuttgart was sent off after scoring the first goal in the opening game, and now it has been pulled back by Bayer Leverkusen away, temporarily 1-1.
If Bremen and Stuttgart both lose today and Hamburg win, then Hamburg will overtake them and move up from seventh to fifth in one fell swoop, regaining a strong position in the race for a Champions League spot.
Now Dortmund and Hoffenheim are also 0-0, the same score as Hamburg's home game and Mainz, if Dortmund also loses, then Hamburg is not fifth, but fourth!
In the eyes of many people, no matter what, we must first ensure a sure victory, "away bug" Mainz's away results this season are the second to last among the 18 teams, and the soft persimmon is the last word!
Therefore, when they saw a large number of substitutes in Chen Zhuo's lineup and put Vanich in the defender position strangely, those fans who "Chen Hei" and demonized Chen Zhuo began to sigh pessimistically in advance, saying that the Hamburg club was blind to pin their hopes on Chen Zhuo.
(b)
After repeated arguments, Moniz believes that Chen Zhuo's adventure is worth it, and it is impossible to fight for a winning streak with a crippled lineup without taking some risks!
In the 45 minutes of the first half, Chen Zhuo was quite satisfied with the draw in exchange for 16 fouls and a yellow card. Satisfaction is only satisfaction with the phased results, by no means satisfaction and content with the status quo, after the intermission, people found that Chen Zhuo's adventure is still continuing......
At the beginning of the second half, it became Tom Mikel who stood in front of the Hamburg team, and Chen Zhuo changed his goalkeeper uniform and stepped into the position of central defender.
Tuchel couldn't understand it again, looked carefully, checked the change notice, and found that it was the midfielder Gross who was replaced, and the formation of the Hamburg team would change after each Chen Zhuo substitution, and sometimes the opponent was at a loss for a few minutes.
So someone has made statistics, when Chen Zhuo was a substitute, the probability of Hamburg's goal within 15 minutes of his substitution was 90%, and when he was the executive coach, the probability of Hamburg's goal within 15 minutes after he made personnel adjustments was also more than 80%, of course, these data are still too little, not the accumulation of dozens of hundreds of games.
For this data, Chen Mi and the fans who made Chen Zhuo gods called it "Patton's Law", and Chen Hei and the fans who demonized Chen Zhuo used the data sample too small enough as a basis to refute it and refused to admit it.
In any case, no matter who will win Chen Mi or Chen Hei, now Mainz coach Tuchel really didn't figure it out within two or three minutes of the second half.
(c)
He didn't understand it because he was stupid, because this was a tactical template that had no precedent in history! Chen Zhuo's "double free man" tactic designed according to the current situation of himself and the players of the Hamburg team is unprecedented!
With Gross off the pitch, Schulz switched from centre-back to left-back, with Spanel moving up to left-back.
With such an adjustment, the Hamburg team became a back three and a free man, Schulz, Demer, and Rincón stood from left to right, and Chen Zhuo, who was replaced from the goalkeeper position.
In the first half of the midfield, the three players were Behrens and Gross double midfielders, Ze Roberto forward midfield, and now Ze Roberto has changed from the front midfield to the right midfielder, focusing on defending the opponent's left side attack, becoming the three forward parallel positions of Spanel, Behrens and Ze Roberto, behind Behrens, is the team's "second libero", Van Nistelrooy.
In numerical terms, this formation is 1-3-1-3-2, Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are uncertain, it is possible to be one after the other, it is possible to be involved in defense at the same time, and it is possible to appear in the opponent's penalty area at the same time......
Another reason for the tactical success of the first half was the successful completion of Gross's task, with 11 of his 16 fouls in the first half coming from Gross, including the yellow card, whose first-half reckless effort undermined the coherence of Mainz's attack, leaving Tuchel furious but unable to do anything.
Not only did Tuchel not understand, but even Fulham assistant Lelivinson, who was sitting in the stands, found it strange.
What exactly is Vanney's position? Centre-back? Back waist?
There has never been the concept of "double free man" in football tactics, and no one would have thought that this Chinese with even an international A-level coaching certificate would create a tactic, so it is normal for everyone to feel strange!
(iv)
After a few offensive and defensive attempts, Tuchel's understanding of Hamburg's current formation was that another young player from the opposition replaced the "butcher" in the first half and continued to scramble, he was talking about Spanel, who opened the second half with full power to run and tackle in midfield, and was fouled twice in four fouls in five minutes, making Spanel the most eye-catching.
While continuing this tactic, Hamburg changed the way they concentrated on the central area and the central axis in the first half, and strengthened their defense on the wings.
After the personnel adjustment, the defensive ability of the Hamburg team has not weakened, but has improved, which is a bit "the opposite"!
As we all know, whether it is a football game or any game, it is the players who have good experience in the game that start the game, and they will only arrange substitute players to play when they are injured or suspended, so the depth of the bench determines how far a team can go in the league, which is the truth.
But now it seems that the Chinese don't think so, and the main players in Hamburg didn't get up until five or six minutes into the second half to start warming up!
(5)
Perhaps now, the only people who know this set of tactics the most are Chen Zhuo and Moniz, the other players in the tactical system understand their own responsibilities and implement them in an orderly manner, as for the "tactical thoughts" that Chen Zhuo described, some of them comprehend more and some understand less, it will not matter much, they can slowly understand it in the implementation.
There are several important factors in Shiyan's "double libero" tactics at Mainz today.
The defensive system of the double free man tactic is a chain defense or a double chain, with one defender in the midfield, and Vanney and Chen Zhuo command behind the double chain respectively, and the two will switch positions according to the situation.
On the basis of chain defense, a "reamer" or "stirrer" will be added to each chain, so that the chain is not passively beaten, but an active defensive "hinge"!
Gross in the first half and Spanel in the second half are the "reamer" or "stirrer" on the chain of midfield.
Using an analogy to describe Chen Zhuo's tactical thinking, it will be much easier to understand.
Dealing with Mainz, who are fifth from the bottom in the Bundesliga in terms of goals scored and have an attacking ability in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, it was found through the first half that the chain defense line with the addition of a blender and a "scavenger" to sit and command this tactic is indeed effective.
At the start of the second half, the Hamburg team gradually pushed the "hinge" defense towards the Mainz half, equipped with "double reamers" and "double libero".
Moniz couldn't help but sigh to himself, he was also a member of Spanwitz's agent company, and he also had strong backing support such as the Sports and Health Center and the Data Jishu Center, but Chen Zhuo was the first to use this powerful backstage support so comprehensively!
About ten minutes into the second half, the "double hinge" has messed up the midfielder of Mainz, and Spanel has suffered more retaliatory fouls, and the "mercenaries" in Mainz are obviously a little anxious, hehe, according to the rules of the industry, they don't have much bonus to get with a score of 0 to zero, for the "mercenaries", this is something they are not willing to accept!
"Toot ~~~" The referee blew the whistle and fouled again, this time it was a foul by the Mainz team, Tuna Itoruń started quickly, ready to pick up Ze Roberto's through pass, just turned around and hit Polanski who was there with a front club, the referee blew Mainz to block the foul, and the Hamburg team took a free kick in front.
