After more than 20 years of work habits, Lelivinson has already disassembled and analyzed the Hamburg team's attack in detail in his mind at this time, and Lelivinson has also made some speculations about the offensive ideas of the Hamburg team.

Ruud van Nistelrooy attracts two midfielders at the top of the arc of the penalty area and then vigorously plays the ball backwards, the vertical distance between the top of the arc of the penalty area and the center of the goal is 20.15m, and after the ball is played backwards here, the players in the back row get the ball, which is a distance of more than 30 meters to 40 meters.

Under normal circumstances, there are very few teams that use long-range shots from this distance as a tactic, so the double midfielders will not be so high up when shrinking the defence.

The parallel position of the double back effectively limits the breakthrough of the opponent's side to a certain extent, but also sacrifices the level and depth of the middle, so the defense line of the double back in the middle is also essential.

Lelivinson saw it very clearly, Hoffenheim took a double midfield parallel position to strengthen the defense on the central axis, and then established the first defensive barrier through the rapid return of two forwards, this routine is a replica of Fulham's last game against Hamburg.

However, it is clear that compared with the Fulham game, in this game against Hoffenheim, the Chinese player is more forward, and the long-range shot of more than 30 meters or even about 40 meters is also an offensive means that the Hamburg team can handle.

It can be felt from this ball that this is how the Hamburg team used Hoffenheim to practice offensive routines, and Chen Zhuo's explosive performance that suddenly started under the marking of opposing players was so good, which also surprised Lelivinson!

The offensive routine designed by Moniz and the coaching staff was proposed by Chen Zhuo, and Chen Zhuo also told them about some more Chinese elements, such as using a word called "joint".

The "Chinese elements" that Chen Zhuo told to Moniz and the coaching staff are the stories of some wars, defense zones, and joints in a certain era in China.

It is said that there is a white army that is strong and strong, and it sets up a defense zone to surround the other red army, but that red army adopts ingenious methods, and often appears and passes through the "junction" of the two defense zones......

Although I don't know what color to make, everyone understands what Chen Zhuo means, according to this idea, the passing point of Ze Roberto or Tesher, and the landing point of Vanney's backwards, the coaching staff has made targeted planning.

For Chen Zhuo's how to suddenly start and quickly get rid of it within three or four steps, in addition to speed, there are also some "protective" actions to avoid being entangled by the other party at the moment of starting, although the training time is only a few days, but this kind of cooperation between Teshe, Ze Roberto, Fanny and Chen Zhuo has a foundation, and this kind of targeted drill is not so complicated.

In another place, in London, England, Elia, Trokhovsky, Berg, etc. are also doing this kind of coordination drills, and everyone's cooperation is fundamental.

Conceding the goal too early still had a slight impact on the mood of the Hoffenheim players, and after conceding the goal, Rangnick also made a fine-tuning of the deployment in response to the problem just now, and Obsi withdrew to the left midfielder position to replace Eduardo, who stood between the double midfielder and the striker Ibisevic, like a shadow striker or a forward midfielder.

Rangnick also used this adjustment to prevent Hamburg from using the "joint" between the striker and the midfielder as a gap.

Lelivinson in the stands didn't think so, if it was himself and Hodgson, he would rather adjust the four midfielders from a parallel position to a diamond position than reduce the strength of a striker!

Look, with the reduction of the number of strikers, the Chinese players who serve as central defenders in the Hamburg team will be more unscrupulous to insert assists!

Indeed, as Lelivinson thought, Chen Zhuo in the central defender position on the pre-match list is higher than the position of the back midfield, and Vanney is even more on the forward line, the current formation of the Hamburg team is 3-5-2 or even 3-4-3, because occasionally Chen Zhuo even rushes into the opponent's penalty area, he and Vanney and Pitt are very similar to the three forwards of the Hamburg team in the opposing half!

Hoffenheim's area defense in his own half is still quite good, the back Gustavo is staring at Ni, the forward Eduardo is against Chen Zhuo, Weiss is running back and forth to make up for the position, and the central defender Simunic commands the back line to lure Pietroipa into the "offside trap" again and again, Hoffenheim plays with tension and relaxation.

Hamburg's defense also seems to be centered on the Chinese player, and the young defenders on the left and right flanks did not play in the last game against Fulham, and now it seems that although they are not particularly experienced and experienced, they make up for the lack of experience with good awareness and fitness.

The two young defenders Lelivinson mentioned, Spanel and Best, the Czech and the German were very open and didn't have too much inhibitions.

One of the main sources of Hoffenheim's offense, Eduardo, is now entangled with Chen Zhuo, "Bundesliga assist king" Salihovic and "copycat Eto'o" Obasi Although they frequently change positions, they can't get rid of the entanglement like Spanel or Byster's "plaster", and they can't play a fast attack before the opponent all defends, and often finally get rid of these two guys through cooperation.

As a result, Ibisevic, who was in front of Hoffenheim, could not receive the pass for a long time and disappeared.

In the first half, the two sides fought very aggressively, but the scene was a little dull, and at halftime, the two sides still maintained a score of 1-0, and the two teams only had three and two shots on goal respectively, Hamburg team except for Chen Zhuo's free kick, only Pitt and Tescher each had a shot that deviated a lot from the goal, and Hoffenheim only had two unthreatening long-range shots from Obasi near the midfield.

In terms of corner kicks, the two sides were actually 0-0, no corner kicks were held, more throw-ins and free kicks near the sideline away from the goal, and an offensive and defensive strangulation battle near the midfield made Hoffenheim fans sleepy.

This kind of blandness and dullness is quite valuable in the eyes of Fulham assistant Lelivinson, who spies on the scene.

Obviously, throughout the first half, Hamburg was repeatedly around Ruud van Nistelrooy and Chen Zhuo's attacking routines, especially Ruud van Nistelrooy pressed the two midfielders back to knock back the header, a total of four times in the first half, except for the one that caused the free kick, two of them formed passes, that is, two point-grabbing shots by Pitt and Tesher in the penalty area, and only one Eduardo grabbed before Chen Zhuo to achieve destruction.

Lelivinson had outlined in his heart that if it wasn't Ruud van Nistelrooy who headed the ball, but replaced by their Swedish striker called "Ibrahimovic Jr.", and then Ruud van Nistelrooy was the one who fought for the ball in the box, wouldn't Fulham be much more dangerous? Obviously, the attacking Eduardo still struggled with the Chinese player, and I wonder if Coach Rangnick will make any targeted adjustments in the second half.

At half-time, it was Hamburg who took the lead in making adjustments.

From Chen Zhuo's point of view, in this game, victory and defeat are an important aspect, but the offensive drill for the parallel position of the double guard and the zone defense system is an important aspect, so he did not think about how to keep this one-to-zero victory, but continued to practice the offensive routine through adjustment.

It was Petroipa who was replaced by South Korean teenager Son Heung-min, and it seemed that it was a change between the forwards.

Hoffenheim head coach Rangnick's first judgment was that the African players were more inclined to dribble and improvise than Son Heung-min, and the South Korean players were probably better in terms of executing tactical combinations.

From the perspective of personal style, Son Heung-min is not actually a point-grabbing player, but a bit like a shadow striker, and for the Hamburg team's counter-substitution, it is obvious that Rangnick does not feel too much of a threat.

It's just that the performance of the Hamburg team after this substitution was greatly beyond Rangnick's expectations, and Lelivinson in the stands also had an indescribable worry.
