Chapter 158 The Hamburg Team

He returned to Germany on the 16th, and was able to train with the team on the 17th. He was about to face Hamburg on the 19th. The time was too tight. Chen Feng knew that his match against Hamburg would probably be the same as the previous match against Darmstadt. However, the team’s current substitutes were not enough. Captain Polanski was injured in training and needed to rest for a month. It is difficult for Schwegler to gain a foothold in the current Hoffenheim, and the club cannot blame a player who has dedicated himself to the club, so the club executives and coach Nagelsmann readily agreed to Schwegler’s half-leaving request.

Especially after the last away game against Freiburg, Hoffenheim's ranking in the standings is already a little dangerous. RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Dortmund all won the Champions League and opened up the points gap with Hoffenheim. In the Champions League, this is something the coaching staff does not want to happen.

As soon as Chen Feng returned to Germany, he returned to Sinsheim and came to the base to gather with the team. However, after arriving at the base, Chen Feng has not been in good condition for the past two days. Although there is no problem in terms of physical fitness, Chen Feng's basic condition is really too bad. Ah, even though he knew that Chen Feng's condition was fluctuating because of the long distance, he was still very dissatisfied with it.

"Chen, focus! Focus!! How many times do I have to tell you, did you go back to China and leave your soul in China? Why is your current state so bad? If you are really too tired, you can tell me directly, we allow you to go home to rest and come back to train. Your state is a waste of your own rest time and our normal training time. You don't think it's useful for you to stay like this?"

"I'm sorry, coach, I may need to take a break." Chen Feng knew that it was useless for him to continue training in his current state, and it would be a waste of his teammates' precious rehearsal time.

"Well, go ahead and take a good rest. We still need you very much in the next game, so adjust back as soon as possible." Schroeder knew that his tone was too harsh because of his anger just now, and seeing that Chen Feng had subdued, he also happened to give Chen Feng a step to step down.

Chen Feng nodded and went back to the waiting room. Schroeder quickly adjusted the staffing of the two sides and resumed training. Chen Feng knew the reason why Schroeder was in a hurry. He was the team's defensive adjustment coach. If Nagelsmann was in charge of the team's tactical adjustment and offensive system, then Schroeder was the guarantee of the team's defense. He made many mistakes in the backcourt. This kind of mistake is equivalent to directly ruining the hard work of his teammates in the game.

This game faced with burgers, this is two consecutive teams in Hoffenheim facing the relegation zone. This should have been a good schedule of Hoffenheim, but everything is different after losing to Freiburg in the last game, because the favorable schedule has lost one game. If there is any score in the match of the burger, it is equivalent to the favorable schedule. As a result, this is a worse thing than the devil schedule. It may even occur on the standings of the standings, and it is possible that it may happen directly to the European theater.

As the only team that has not been relegated in the Bundesliga, the Hamburger team has been in bad shape over the years. It may have always performed well in the relegation schedule, keeping the team from the bad luck of relegation.

As a German or even a world-class youth training brand, Hamburg’s youth training young talents have continuously exported a lot of talents to the Hamburg first team. Germany’s youth training is not like other countries and regions that pay attention to hope to go to better and bigger youth training clubs, and then receive the best youth training all the way to the first team. This is not the case in Germany, thanks to the plan proposed by the German Football Association in 2000.

When applying for the 2006 World Cup, Germany considered how the German team, which was not strong enough at the time, would be sorry for the local fans if the German Cup was still so decadent in the 2006 World Cup held in its home country.

In order to maintain the operation of the training base, the German Football Association allocates at least 1000 million a year. In the past ten years, the total expenditure has exceeded 2002 million euros. In addition to the Football Association, clubs also play an important role in the youth training plan.Since the 03/36 season, the [-] teams in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga must set up their own youth training centers, otherwise they will be disqualified from participating in the league.The youth training center needs to be equipped with infrastructure such as full-time coaches, boarding schools and sufficient training grounds, which forces the club to increase investment in youth training and re-evaluate the team's youth training department.

In addition to the clubs, the two cores and pillars of the DFB’s youth training plan are training centers and youth training centers. At that time, the DFB deployed 366 training bases across the country, concentrating more than 14000 potential young football players under the careful guidance of more than 1000 youth training coaches.

Therefore, domestic players in Germany do not need to stay away from their hometown to participate in a youth training brand club when they are young, just to receive youth training better. German young players can receive training in their hometown club nearby, and then at the critical age of 14 to 17, they can choose to go to a better and more international big club youth training camp according to their own ability, such as Stuttgart, Schalke 04, Dortmund, Bayern Munich and other clubs to receive better, more comprehensive and more systematic training.

And Hamburg is also one of the best, but also one of the victims. Clubs like Hamburg and Cologne attach great importance to youth training, but there are countless young players who have been poached in the 14-17 age group, because clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are not just based on first-team stars. They are also very attractive to young players, because Dortmund and Bayern Munich are very good at using young players. That is, they will tap a large number of 14- to 17-year-old young players from other clubs who are full of potential, and then continue to train them in their own youth training camp to better meet their needs and familiarize with the team's style.

So many youth players like Dortmund are not pure Dortmund youth players. In fact, they were youth players of other clubs when they were young.

Even so, the youth training camp in Hamburg is still full of talents. This is the perfect realization of the German Football Association’s plan. Now Germany’s talents are very sufficient, and the 50+1 policy allows many young players to get enough opportunities to play in the club, to fully demonstrate their talents and realize people’s expectations of them.

In the game against Hamburg, Chen Feng did not appear on the starting list due to his poor training conditions. In this game, head coach Nagelsmann arranged Geiger to partner with Rudy to form a double midfielder. Chen Feng sat on the bench and stood by. There were not many changes in other aspects. This game did not carry out a large rotation like the previous game against Darmstadt. Almost all the main players in the frontcourt were out. The coaching staff did not want any surprises in this game.

But it is this kind of accident that happens when you don’t want any accidents. Hamburg midfielder Holtby responded to the pass from his teammates in the frontcourt. He sent the football flying into the goal, then spread his hands and exclaimed, can this ball go in too?Isn't this God's joke?
This goal disrupted all of Hoffenheim's deployments. It was obvious that every ball was fighting for it, and any potentially threatening ball was defended with all its strength, but such a non-threatening threat was scored. How could Hoffenheim's soldiers accept it?

Immediately after the Hamburg team scored a goal, they began to shrink their defensive line. They were completely opposite to Freiburg in the last round of the league. Freiburg's offensive desire was very high.

In this scene against the Hamburg team, the full-backs of the Hamburg team were almost used as defenders. The two wingers would not go forward at all, and they had been staying in the backcourt to help stabilize the defense in the backcourt.

The price that the Hamburg team paid for this is that it is difficult to attack in the frontcourt. The investment in the frontcourt is too small. They can only use the long pass to the frontcourt to let the players in the frontcourt win the slight opportunity, and then use their personal ability to complete the attack. No matter how bad it is, as long as they don't concede two goals, they can take away a point in the Neckar Arena, which is very acceptable for the Hamburg team who urgently need points to get out of the relegation quagmire. Of course, it would be great if they can take away three points smoothly.

"Go forward! Go forward, the high ball goes to the penalty area, pay more attention to the second landing point! Take more long shots! Don't worry, take your time, there is still time! Control the ball, don't so many through balls and behind the ball, there is no room for such a pass!" Nagelsmann loudly conveyed what he wanted to say to the players on the sidelines. Although he knew that most players would not be able to hear what he said, Rudy and Geiger in the midfield could hear it. As long as Rudy stabilized the rhythm, other players would know what to do.

Except for Holtby's goal in the first half, there were no more goals. Hamburg's backcourt defense caused too much headache for Hoffenheim's offense. I don't know that apart from lobbing the ball to the penalty area for Wagner to compete for the top, there are almost no offensive methods.

At the end of the first half, the director kept switching between Geiger and Chen Feng on the bench. Although Geiger didn’t make any mistakes in the first half, he didn’t make any outstanding performances either, especially now when he needed to score goals. Geiger’s lack of offensive ability in the backcourt was useless at all.
