Chapter 95: A good lesson for the guys at Hoffenheim
The first thing I got after entering the hotel was to divide the rooms. After the rooms, the players immediately entered the restaurant for a meal. After the meal, the players did not return to the room, but were called to the meeting room provided by the head coach Ralph Rangnick.
Here he will watch the video of Bayern Munich with the players. This video was processed by Hoffenheim's Technical Department. The irrelevant parts are cut off and condensed and more concise and direct.
Ralph Rangnick combines the video of Bayern Munich to arrange the tactics, making it easier for Hoffenheim players to understand their tactics.
After the players all arrived in the conference room, the video of Bayern Munich began to be played, which was much more intuitive than the game.
The one with the most frequent appearance in this video is undoubtedly Frank Ribery on the left side of Bayern Munich, who plays a very important role in Bayern Munich.
"Riberry creates goals almost every game. He scored six goals and assists ten times this season. He touched 102 times per game, which is also the most in the Bundesliga." Rangnick analyzed and introduced the players in detail the number one star in Bayern Munich.
As a striker, Gong Zheng has to complete a final shot, so Gong Zheng does not touch a lot, but his role is indeed very important.
In addition, his pass success rate is 85%, his cross success rate is 21%, and his corner accuracy is 17%. "These numbers illustrate Ribery's strength, but he is not without weaknesses.
"But in one-on-one confrontation, Ribery's success rate is 50%, not as high as Eduardo." Rangnick pointed at Eduardo, and the Brazilian stood up with a proud look on his face.
"So, as long as we control the French Scarface in this game, we will stop Bayern Munich's attack." Ralph Rangnick explained in detail, "In this game, Baker, you must reduce the assists and stop Frank Ribery. At the same time, Carlos, Salihovic, you must switch sides frequently to defend Frank Ribery. Don't give the opponent a chance."
"The three of you have to run wildly without any effort in the game. Your tasks are the heaviest, because you not only have to defend Ribery, but also attack, so you have to sprint back and forth. This is a big test for your physical fitness, but I hope you can withstand such a test." Ralph Rangnick stared at Salihovic and reminded him very seriously.
"Don't worry, professor." Hoffenheim is still very confident in physical fitness, because as the backing of the high-tech laboratory behind them, their physical fitness is still guaranteed.
"Defending Ribery, you have to stop Bayern Munich's offense and solve the defensive problem. Let's talk about the offense." Ralph Rangnick immediately said, "We must play our characteristics in the offense. Our speed is very fast. We must drive the rhythm of the game and drag the opponent to death with speed. Although Bayern Munich is also fast, we must be faster than them. I believe you can do it, right?"
"Yes, we will definitely drag the Munich guys to death!" Gong Zheng and Hoffenheim's players immediately shouted, full of energy.
"Also, from this video, we can see that Bayern Munich's right back Ram often assists, and although his speed is OK. However, his grade is too big. After many round trips, his physical strength and speed will inevitably weaken, so our offense should go to Ram's side more, and before he comes back to assist, he will hit him hard." Ralph Rangnick said very seriously.
Hoffenheim players were listening carefully to the thoughts of head coach Ralph Rangnick, afraid of missing a single point.
"Vedad, you must attack this to death, remember?" Ralph Rangnick immediately said, "Ibissevicli nodded and said that he already knew. Then, Ralph Rangnick spoke again, "Also, you should pay attention to the back of Bayern Munich central defender Demi Kelis. This guy turned slowly and was a little rash. Gong, you want to seize this weakness and give the opponent a fatal blow, do you know?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, Professor!" Gong Zheng said, patting his chest, very firm.
"It's good to have confidence. However, you are the target of public criticism now. I don't think Klinsmann will make you relaxed, so your task is very heavy." Ralph Rangnick reminded Gong Zheng.
"Don't worry, professor. I won't let the Munich succeed. I will let them know that I, Gong Zheng, cannot be watched so easily." Gong Zheng said confidently.
"Okay, there are so many tactics today. You all go back and go to bed early and don't affect your condition tomorrow." Ralph Rangnick immediately announced the end of the meeting. The Hoffenheim players left the conference room and returned to the room to rest.
While Hoffenheim players were watching the video, Bayern Munich was doing the same.
On Thursday night, on the night before home game, Klinsmann and Henk played Hoffenheim video for the team. This video was specially edited and sorted by the team's special video analyst Henk, and it was very prominently told the players who Hoffenheim needs to be paid special attention.
Like Ribery in the eyes of Hoffenheim players, Gong Zheng has become the number one key figure in Bayern Munich's eyes. In their condensed video, Gong Zheng is undoubtedly the person who appears the most in the camera, and this kid is the core of Hoffenheim.
Gong Zheng scored 19 goals in the first fifteen rounds of the game. Such amazing efficiency has to be taken seriously.
In Klinsmann's eyes, Hoffenheim's biggest threat comes from this kid who is now called the "new bomber" by the media and fans.
Bayern Munich not only did this condensed video, but also made a collection of Gong Zheng's goals, and also conducted data analysis of Gong Zheng's goals to see what Gong Zheng's touching habits and the area with the highest shooting success rate are. These are the places where Bayern Munich defenders must be careful in defending.
Through these data analysis, Bayern Munich players found that Gong Zheng is very comprehensive. Among the nineteen goals, there are headers, left-foot goals, right-footed penalty areas, grab points in the penalty area, and long-range shots outside the penalty area. This guy is almost omnipotent, too comprehensive, which makes Bayern Munich players very troubled.
Even Bayern Munich's head coach Klinsman felt a headache. At first, Gong Zheng in Klinsman's eyes was just a guy who could head the ball. However, in less than two seasons, Gong Zheng entered here. This guy seemed to be riding on the Rockets, which made Klinsman very unhappy.
In order to win this battle with a newly promoted team, Klinsmann and Bayern Munich coaching staff have put in great effort and done their homework. In the past, Bayern would never do this when facing any newly promoted team. They can win if they play.
But now when facing Hoffenheim, they have to pay attention to this new team. This new team is different from all previous new teams, which makes them so cautious.
Watching head coach Klinsmann musing as he watched the video, Hunter immediately said to Bayern Munich players: "Gong Zheng is very ruthless on the court. He will not just stay in the penalty area. This guy is very lively, has a large range of activities, and often appears in the most threatening position. He is a very dangerous person. Also, I want to remind you that whenever Gong Zheng helps the team lead 1-0, Hoffenheim wins the game."
This news stunned Bayern Munich's players. Of course they knew the meaning of this sentence. Bayern Munich's two central defenders immediately frowned.
"Hoffenheim is the only team in the Bundesliga that won by keeping the first goal. Therefore, our defensive task in this game is very extraordinary and we must not let the opponent score the first goal." At this time, Bayern Munich head coach Klinsmann immediately woke up from his thoughts and said.
"This guy Gong Zheng's recent condition is simply too awesome. Everyone thinks that this guy has been possessed by Mr. Gad Muller from the second team recently. It seems that he can accurately send football to the goal net from any angle. Therefore, we must pay strict attention in the game and don't give this kid a chance to get close to our goal." Klinsman reminded his defensive players that he needs to remind him, because Hoffenheim's number nine gave him a headache.
"From the beginning of the league, Hoffenheim has only played one kind of football, that is offensive football. No matter what the situation is, they are attacking wildly. This is their advantage and their weakness. As long as we seize the gap behind Hoffenheim's crazy attack, it will be very easy for us to win the game. So, in this game, we are determined to be stable, attract Hoffenheim's players, and then seize the gap behind them, and we will win." Klinsman said immediately.
Bayern Munich players listened to Klinsmann's words and nodded in agreement.
"However, our defense pressure will be very high. You must withstand it and not give that arrogant boy a chance. You must let him know that Bayern Munich's defense line cannot be broken by any cat or dog." Klinsmann said sharply with his eyes tightened.
"I understand!" Bayern Munich's defensemen immediately expressed their firmness, saying that they would not let Gong Zheng have a good life.
"The rhythm of the game is the same as before, that is, to be fast, speed up the rhythm of the game, and shoot the ball with one kick, especially when it is from defense to offense, you must be fast, and bring the rhythm of the game to me. We must drag the boys from Hoffenheim to death." Klinsmann once again emphasized the rhythm of the game.
Since coaching Bayern Munich, Klinsmann has always emphasized "fast". He advocates "speed up the pace of the game and shoot one shot", which is the same as Rangnick. However, Bayern Munich did not play like this before, and the transition period is often painful, so at the beginning of the league, Bayern Munich performed poorly. As the team gradually became familiar with Klinsmann's new tactics, the team began to rebound strongly. They achieved seven wins and two draws in the last nine rounds of the league. On average, 467 passes and 718 touches per game are the highest in the Bundesliga. Therefore, Klinsmann is not afraid of Rangnick's fast football, because he is faster and I am faster, it depends on who is faster! At this point, Klinsmann is confident in his team.
"Don't worry, boss, we know what to do!" The team's captain Ram immediately stood up and said, and the Bayern Munich players behind him also echoed.
