Chapter 133 The Geniuses of Bremen
The current head coach of Werder Bremen is Thomas Schaff. He has taken over from Magath since the 98-99 season. It has been a full 9 seasons. Few people in the Bundesliga have been in the position of head coach for so long. .
Of course, there are several reasons why he has been able to work for so long. First, he is an old courtier of Werder Bremen. He has spent his entire career in Werder Bremen. He is deeply trusted by the club and loved by fans; The second reason is that he is very capable of coaching and has achieved results. After Dortmund and Leverkusen fell one after another, he raised the banner to challenge Bayern Munich, played offensive football in the Bundesliga, and finally won in 2003-2004 The season won the double crown and dominated the German domestic arena; the third reason is that Werder Bremen's financial situation is not good after the arrival of the new century. Schaaff is obviously easier than other coaches to communicate with the high-level and will not propose some excessive purchases. The club is willing to give him enough time and trust.
From the beginning of the 02-02 season, under the advocacy of the Mesozoic European coaches headed by Milan coach Ancelotti, the formation based on the 442 offensive and defensive balance has gradually become popular in major European leagues, especially Ancelotti's 4321 "Christmas tree" Tactics are more popular and promoted. The Premier League has also evolved 442, 433, 451, etc. from the traditional 4123 play. La Liga and Ligue [-] have also begun to embark on the trend of tactical innovation.
The Bundesliga also adopts a positive attitude to face and accept the tactical update of European football. Mesozoic coaches such as Magath, Schaff, and Rangnick took the lead in implanting advanced European ideas into the tradition of German football, so the 02-03 season After that, in Dortmund, Leverkusen, the strong teams that turned from prosperity to decline due to the bankruptcy of Kirsch Media Group fell behind.Stuttgart, Werder Bremen, Schalke and other mid-level teams can quickly innovate in tactical concepts and use a large number of new players to continue to attack Bayern's dominance.Tactically, Schaff's Werder Bremen played technical offensive football and finally overturned Bayern's dominance in the 03-04 season.
The offensive football led by Schaff not only caused a wave in the Bundesliga, but also brought high popularity to Werder Bremen. Many young players are willing to join Werder Bremen because of Schaff's training of young people and offensive football. The charm of football comes from.
For example, Klose chose Werder Bremen after Kaiserslautern. In fact, there were many teams that wanted Klose. The goal efficiency, but he still chose Werder Bremen, the reason is Schaff.
For example, in the current Werder Bremen team, Diego and Ozil, it can be said that they are all rushing to the name of Schaff.
These two are currently the most promising talents in the Werder Bremen team. Needless to say, Diego became famous at a young age, and Robinho is known as the twin stars of the Brazilian football giant Santos. After experiencing the frustration of the Porto team Coming to Werder Bremen, he only spent one season here to prove that he is well-deserved. Last season, as a midfielder, he contributed 13 goals to Werder Bremen, and his performance was quite amazing.
Another genius, Mesut Ozil, is the pain in the hearts of Schalke 04. He is a genius, but he failed to negotiate with the club on salary and eventually the two sides broke up. In fact, Ozil’s current The salary is not as good as that of Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan’s situation is different. Zhang Yuan’s salary is set by the wealthy Inter Milan. Schalke 04 can only accept this salary silently if they want Zhang Yuan, while Ozil Even if the Schalke 04 club is optimistic, it is unwilling to give the 19-year-old him a high salary.The final ending of this story is everyone breaks up. Ozil came to Werder Bremen. The fans are still very upset emotionally. It is estimated that Ozil will return to Schalke Stadium next season. "A warm welcome"!
After Ozil came to Werder Bremen, he was reused by Schaff. In fact, Schalke 04 Slomka had already started to reuse Ozil. After he left, he introduced Zhang Yuan as Ozil Therefore, although Ozil is young, he has strength. It is not surprising that Schaaf has reused him. He has contributed 5 assists to the team so far in the second half of the season, and his performance is very good.
Werder Bremen is not limited to these two rookie talents. There are many young players under Schaff who are very talented, so the average age of Werder Bremen is not very old. This is of course a common phenomenon in the current Bundesliga teams. Full, but it is precisely because of youth, coupled with the departure of super striker Klose, and the influence of Schaff's offensive football philosophy, Werder Bremen actually played a little nervous. When they are bad, a weak team can also beat them to the ground, and their performance this season has been ups and downs.
After having lunch at the hotel at noon and resting for an hour, the entire Schalke 04 team took the bus to the Weser Stadium. The Weser Stadium is located on the right bank of the Weser River in Bremen. The surrounding scenery is not bad. feelings.
After warming up, Slomka seized the time to arrange tactics again. This game is very important. Although Schalke 04 is really not very well prepared, Slomka still wants to win, at least not Losing, this point is quite consistent with the club's top management.
Schalke's starting lineup today is 433,
Goalkeeper: Neuer
Defenders: Right back Kristajic, center backs Bolton and Westermann, left back Pandel
Midfielders: Jones, Ernst, Stenett
Forwards: Altintop Jr., Asamoah, Kuranyi
Werder Bremen has a 442 formation, with a diamond-shaped midfielder. This formation is Schaaf's usual formation. It has been like this since Micoud's era until now. When Micoud left, Diego took over.
Goalkeeper: Wiese
Defenders: Right back Fritz, center backs Nardo and Mertesacker, left back Pasanen
Midfield: Back midfielder Bowman, left midfielder Frings, right midfielder Borowski, front midfielder Diego
Forwards: Sanogo and Rosenberg
As the referee blew the whistle, the game started. Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and watched the game intently. At the beginning of the game, both sides played in a stalemate. Not weak, the two sides played a bit inseparable.
However, Slomka is not satisfied with the current situation. Jones was specially used to mark Diego today, but Jones did not do this well at the beginning and failed to stare Diego. Werder Bremen's offensive is now Relying entirely on the clearance on the back line, it is obviously impossible to continue like this.
Slomka stood on the sidelines and thought quietly, should the two wingers be brought back to assist the midfielder's defense?
Before he could figure it out, Werder Bremen scored. In the 18th minute, Diego's small-angle attack was blocked by Neuer.Frings again took the corner kick and after several clearances, it fell to Pasanin's feet. Pasanin made an arc pass, and Bowman suddenly inserted a header and scored the ball into the empty goal.
The goal was scored in complete chaos. When Baumann stepped in, there was no one around him to defend. Werder Bremen had 04 draws and 3 losses against Schalke 5 in the last eight games. Schalke has never won. Ke 04 can be said to be their sufferer in recent years, but today Werder Bremen obviously made a good start, and it may be necessary to rewrite the unbearable history.
Slomka spread his hands to express his helplessness. This kind of ball is really helpless. In the chaos, Schalke 04's defensive system has been scattered, and the opponent just seized this opportunity.
The fans at the scene enthusiastically called the captain Bowman's name, and the on-site commentator passionately explained the moment of the goal.
This is not a good sign. Sitting on the bench, Zhang Yuan felt that he had seen a problem. The reason why Werder Bremen were able to attack the penalty area repeatedly was because Schalke 04 did not do well in controlling the midfield today.
The impact of Rakitic's absence is still huge. Schneider, who replaced him, simply does not have the quality of a good commander like him, and Ernst does not have such ability, let alone Jones. Erke 04 did not do well in the pass control of the midfield, and Jones was obviously out of shape today, and the interception ability in the midfield declined. Werder Bremen can easily pass Schalke 04's midfield.
After conceding a goal, Slomka finally made a change and dropped the two wingers Altintop Jr. and Asamoah back a little bit. The current formation is like a 451 formation, trying to make up for Lackey with numbers Tich indeed, enhanced the midfielder's passing ability and interception ability, preventing Werder Bremen from quickly passing Schalke 04's midfielder.
However, his change still did not have much effect. On the contrary, Werder Bremen did a good job in midfield interception. Frings and Borowski are two full-backs, but they are actually two The top defensive ability is quite good, not only can limit Schalke 04's wing, but also has the spare power to assist Baumann in the midfield. Schalke 04's midfielder made frequent pass mistakes today, and it fell to Yun Some chances for Bremen.
As a result, in the 33rd minute, Diego took the ball from the center and split the side, and passed it to Borowski on the right. Not enough, the score on the field became 2-0, and Schalke 04 was already two goals behind.
The fans in the stands sang hard, with the advantage of two goals, it was difficult for Schalke 04 to get any cheap.
Slomka once again spread his hands. The overall condition of Schalke 04 players is not good today. Werder Bremen got too many chances. It's no wonder they didn't score.
Zhang Yuan's heart was already pounding. It looked like he was going to lose today. He could see the team's downturn. Of course, he also knew that if he continued in this state, losing would be inevitable.
