Chapter 87 New Location

After having fun and laughing, it's over. These are just episodes after the players' training.

When the afternoon training began again, the team entered a state of tension again. Because of the time when the training was about to end, head coach Heinx explained a tactical lesson to everyone.

It seems that this is nothing, but in fact, the tactical class is that the coaching staff explains the tactics of the game to the players, which means that the next game is about to begin!

The team is already preparing for the next league game.

It was on the day after tomorrow, that is, April 17, and the opponent was Hertha Berlin, the capital of Germany.

After the game with Bayern, Schalke 04 can be said to be full of momentum, and the players have a good mentality. Heinx is happy to see this. Without pressure, the team will definitely relax and play better.

There is nothing surprising about this tactical class. For ordinary players, it is to know a little about what to do in the next game and how the formation is, which has no impact on everyone, because their position has already been fixed, and even if the tactics change, it will not be too much.

However, Don Jack is an exception.

In the tactics of the next game, he will play as a midfielder. This requirement is really puzzling. Heinkes's explanation is also simple, which is to let Don Jack play forward.

Front waist!

This position can be said to be the offensive commander of a team. In the general 442 formation, the front waist is the top of the diamond position of the midfield, which directly connects the position of the midfielder and the striker. This role is obviously very important.

Jack Don, as the front waist, is not only other players puzzled, but Jack Don is even more puzzled.

Although the position is very good, it is very important for the team. From here, we can see how much Heinx attaches to Don Jack, but in fact, it is impossible for Don Jack to play this position, because his tactical consciousness is really lacking, and he can't even catch up with ordinary players. How can he play so important? Location?

If Don Jack becomes the team's offensive commander instead of Pearson, imagine that the attack of Schalke 04 will definitely become chaotic, because Don Jack sometimes doesn't even know his position, consciousness, etc., and he can't keep up with the team's offensive rhythm, let alone command the whole team. .

"This is just an experimental tactic, Pearson, your position is parallel to Jack, as the front waist of the team."

Only after this explanation can everyone understand that although this set of tactics is 442, if you change the position, it can also be called double front waist tactics, or 424 tactics. With Pearson as the team's field commander, the team will not be chaotic, and Don Jack is more like a shadow as a striker, the penalty area. The line shooter appears, so that the team's attack is guaranteed, and Don Jack can also give full play to his best ability. Schalke 04's attack will definitely be further strengthened.

All the players think it's nothing, but in fact, Heinx is a little nervous. His front waist is nice, but how many teams can do it?

Until now, the England team is still worried about the position conflict between Lampard and Gerrard. Don't they want to use double waists? However, it turned out that when Gerrard and Lampard played as front men at the same time, England's strength was weaker.

This is the problem of position overlap.

Of course, the two front waists have their advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious, because with the two front waists, the players in the team do not know who to listen to. Even if the command is fixed, the middle position is so large on the court, and the running positions of the two front waists are likely to overlap, which will cause offensive chaos.

Heinx considered this, but he didn't care much about it.

Why?

The combination of Don Jack and Pearson is completely the same as Lampard and Gerrard. This is not a gap in strength, but a personal gap between the two.

Lampard and Gerrard have similar personal abilities and similar strength. On the whole, their abilities are very similar, and they can become the pillar and center of a team.

Don Jack and Pearson are completely different. Among the two, Pearson's overall view is better, and Don Jack's overall view can almost be described as ridiculously poor. As for personal ability, Pearson is good at passing the ball to grasp the situation, while Don Jack is good at shooting and is a pure shooter. The two are mutual There is no conflict between the abilities. If you want to play as a front waist at the same time, the position conflict will be much smaller.

This is the key to Heinx's consideration.

He hopes that he can succeed. If this tactic succeeds, he will have nothing to worry about in the Schalke 04 game. After all, the team's strength is not bad. As long as the tactics are successful, he is confident that he will lead the team to keep the seat in the UEFA Cup next season, and even fight for the qualification for the Champions Cup.

Although it has been studied for a long time and has listened to the opinions of several veteran coaches of the Schalke 04 first team coaching team, Heinx is still a little worried. After all, this new tactic is improved on the original offensive tactics. Sometimes this improvement will bring good results, but sometimes it will be a loss. In this regard, no one can guarantee that the tactical improvement will be successful.

The consequences of failure...

It's hard to estimate, "The next game is at home!" Heinx comforted himself like this.

The schedule of the Bundesliga is arranged in this way. Each team has a host and an away schedule, which is to ensure fairness and rationality. In this regard, the Bundesliga is still stronger than other leagues, because some of the commercialization of other leagues is very strong in the arrangement of the field, among which is the Premier League is the most important.

In order to attract the attention of more fans, the schedule will not consider the attitude of the corresponding club at all, but takes commercial interests as the greatest purpose. For example, every Christmas, the Premier League not only does not have a winter break, but also the short schedule is the most intensive, especially for some rich clubs. This is even more so, because the Premier League will arrange several battles around Christmas. This year is the confrontation between Chelsea and Liverpool. The North-South Battle has always attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

It is difficult to ensure fairness in such a schedule, but for the sake of profit, each club can only choose to accept it.

There is no such thing in the Bundesliga. The schedule of the Bundesliga is relatively loose and fair, and each team is in the form of home and away.

The next game of Schalke 04 is the home game against Hertha Berlin. Heinx has decided to test new tactics in this game. The reason is that this is a home game. Schalke 04 will certainly not perform too bad by taking advantage of the momentum of winning Bayern Munich. Even if there is a problem with the tactics, they still have room for redemption.

Since Don Jack entered the first team, Heinx has indeed paid more and more attention to attack. With Don Jack, a killer player, Schalke 04's offensive ability has indeed been greatly strengthened.

In fact, Heinx has always been a rich ** head coach. He always hopes that his team can win with offense, just like Arsenal and Barcelona. Of course, Schalke 04 cannot be compared with the above two teams, but Heinx still hopes that Schalke 04 can use The flowing attack won the victory cleanly and neatly.

This is not only the victory of the game, but also the success of offensive football, which is what Heinx expects.

Two days before the game, the media in the two cities began a fierce war of words.

As the only team in the capital, Hertha Berlin has a lot of fans and media support. They all hope that Hertha Berlin can have the glory of the capital team, just like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in the Premier League. The team in the capital should be like that.

Although Hertha Berlin has not been a little different from the above three England and London teams in history, Hertha Berlin fans still hope that the team can have a good performance and strive for the glory of the capital team.

Unfortunately, Hertha Berlin's performance this season is very poor. After 28 rounds, the team has ranked second to last in the 18 teams in the Bundesliga. Normally, from the perspective of Hertha Berlin's 25 points, relegation has become inevitable.

Unless Hertha Berlin can get more than 15 points in the next six games, they can ensure that they will not be relegated.

But it's almost impossible.

With 15 points in six games, Hertha Berlin has to win at least four games. It is not an impossible task for the top team in the Bundesliga, but it is almost impossible to complete it.

In the eyes of the club, they are ready to take the team's head coach as a scapegoat, but the fans don't know this. They still expect the team to have a good performance and strive to keep the place in the Bundesliga next season.

So, before the game, the momentum of the media was very grand.

Many sports media in Berlin continue to build momentum for the team and claim: "... Hertha Berlin will defeat Schalke 04 away from home. The team is united, and the victory is just around the corner..."

and so on, and so on.

Obviously, the media in Gelsenkirxing cannot let the opponent be so rampant. The Gelsenkirxing Post declared that this game will be a boring game. Why?

"... The strength gap between the two teams is too big. Schalke 04 has Ebe. Sander, Hammett. Altentos, Pearson and other stars, and what is Hertha Berlin? They only have points that are about to be downgraded..."

This is a ** naked insult, but it's also true. When it comes to Hertha Berlin, they really haven't come up with stars, and Gelsenkirschising's media can obviously come up with more than that, "... Don Jack, the new star of Schalke 04, will become the biggest obstacle to the victory of Hertha Berlin. If they want to win, they must find a way to control the performance of this young player, but even Bayern has a headache with this problem..."

This is the real killer.

Don't you Hertha Berlin want to win? But we have a top shooter who can break Kahn's gate three times in one game! How do you defend?

After that, during an interview with the media before the game, Heinx looked very polite and said to the reporter: "... The opponent's strength is not bad. We should always be vigilant. As the capital team, Hertha Berlin's performance last season was not bad. I think what we should do now is to exert our strength. As for the victory or defeat of the game, only God knows..."

Such a low-key attitude is what a head coach needs to show, and Heinx's speech left Hertha Berlin speechless.

The media interviewed were obviously very dissatisfied. They directly asked about the next game, Schalke 04's lineup. Heinx just smiled and said, "In the previous league games, Alcides performed very well. This young player has made great progress in defense. I will consider giving His chance to start. And Pearson, Asamoa and so on. These main players are in good shape. I have no reason not to let them play..."

Media reporters are even more dissatisfied. What they want to ask is obviously not Alcides, which is not important at all.

"Jack? Are you talking about Jack?

Speaking of this, Heinx smiled and pondered for a while before saying, "Jack? Jack has scored seven goals in these rounds, and I don't think there is any reason for me to let such a talented striker be on the bench.
