"Battle to defend the fortress of Liege!" "This is the headline on the front page of the local sports newspaper that Chen Zhuo saw as soon as he arrived in Liege, Belgium.

The title itself is a historical allusion. The defense of the fortress of Liege was a famous battle in World War I, and this battle was to resist the "aggression" of the Germans. Therefore, the use of this allusion has a deep meaning.

The city of Liege is located at the confluence of the Maas River and the Urt River, bordering the Dutch border to the north and the famous Ardennes Forest to the south.Like Waterloo near Brussels, the Ardennes Forest is also a famous battlefield in Europe.In Europe's "Battlefield" ranking, the Ardennes Forest ranks third, ahead of the English Channel and the Alps.

From the map, Belgium and Luxembourg are similar. They are both small countries sandwiched between the two big countries of France and Germany. They are positioned as "neutral countries". From this geopolitical perspective, Belgium's geostrategic location is Just like Afghanistan at the junction of China, Russia and India, like the Korean Peninsula at the junction of China, Japan and Russia, from the perspective of international politics, Belgium is more like a "buffer zone" under the mutual struggle between France and Germany.

"Hehe, the final winner of the Liege Fortress Defense War is also a German. The reporter who wrote this report is not good at history, or..." Chen Zhuo looked at the title and laughed.

Or, in the national history of Belgium, there are different ways of describing and commenting on this "Battle of Liege Fortress". It is normal for the same event to have different views from different angles.

"This away game is an active one for us, so the right to choose is in our hands." After the field adaptation training at home in Liege, Chen Zhuo arranged: "There are a lot of problems in the defense and defense in the league. Trouble, so we can take the initiative to choose two methods in this game, one is to make a rotation, and the other is to rehearse the rear reserve lineup for the league..."

No one objected. Last time, almost all the substitutes and reserve team players were promoted smoothly. Everyone has a basic trust in Chen Zhuo's ability. He said that rotation and drills are needed, so follow what he said, there will be no problem .

The Football Association's suspension notice came down. Guerrero was suspended until the end of the season. Matheisen was also suspended for 4 games in all competitions in Hamburg. The Hamburg team has negotiated on the issue of excessive punishment, but it is estimated that there is no possibility of changing the sentence.

During Matheisen's suspension, if Rosenaar accumulates yellow cards and is suspended or suffers injuries, in addition to the two central defenders Demel and Schulz, Boateng can also be pushed to the central defender position and Rincon can play the right back .

As for the position of central defender, Chen Zhuo and Best of the reserve team are also capable. Relatively speaking, there is no urgent need for the left-back position.

"In this game, Ogo mentioned the position of the defensive midfielder, and Spanner and Elia played on the left. Elia, you try to withdraw to the left back position. When defending, it is under Spanner's position. Behind..." Chen Zhuo arranged.

Elia fainted for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Huh? I... a full-back?"

Chen Zhuo explained: "If you think about Elia so much, Jansen is already injured, and Ogo is short of a yellow card suspension. Besides myself, we need to find another player who is suitable for our tactical system at the left back position. A player, preferably an offensive full-back, paired with a defensive full-back like Spannell, allows this player to dribble the ball from the backcourt and launch a long-distance attack directly into the opponent's half..."

Everyone nodded frequently. Speaking of which, Elia seems to be more appropriate.

The front line is also in trouble now. Guerrero has just come back and was suspended. Petric and Pete will not be able to play for at least this week. Van Nistelrooy, Tunay Torun and Arslan were selected and rotated among the four players.

There are several players in the Hamburg team who are over 30 years old. Chen Zhuo once suggested that, in addition to goalkeeper Rost, 34-year-old Van Nistelrooy, 33-year-old Jarolim and 33-year-old Rozenal, there are also 37 years old. For the 3-year-old Ze Roberto, it is best for these four players to play less than [-] players in each game, and it is best for the two players to rotate with each other, so that Hamburg will not have too many physical shortcomings.

This suggestion was adopted by Labbadia. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ogo played in this game, Ze Roberto was on the bench, Jarolim and Rosenaar rested and did not come to Belgium with the team, and concentrated on rest and preparations for the away game against Bochum on the weekend league.

The two forwards playing today are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Berg. Now Berg has gradually become accustomed to the role of "gun support", and the cooperation with several forwards in the training game is still relatively tacit.

After full consideration and consideration in many aspects, the Hamburg team's away game against Standard Liege is 4-5-1. The four backs are Elia, Demel, Schulz and Boateng. Zhuo and Ze Roberto, the left and right midfielders are Spannell and Tescher, Berg is arranged in the midfielder position, and Ruud van Nistelrooy is a single arrow.

Judging from the formation arrangement, there are long passes from Demel and Chen Zhuo at the back, long-distance attacks from Elia on the left, ferrying from Berg and Tesher in front, Ruud van Nistelrooy's grabbing points, and a typical defensive counterattack tactics.

At the pre-match press conference, Labbadia took Chen Zhuo to attend. Like last time, Labbadia was responsible for Chen Zhuo, who was "job without a license".

"When I arrived in Liege yesterday, I saw the headline on the front page of the local sports newspaper, which was "Defense of the Fortress of Liege". Let me just use this question to talk about the inspiration I saw from the title yesterday." Chen Zhuo talked eloquently.

Before being breached, the famous Liège Fortress was once known as "the strongest line of defense in Europe". It was built on a steep slope on the west bank of the Maas River a few kilometers outside the city of Liège, 100 meters higher than the river bank. The Maas River just became a natural moat.

There are 30 forts around 12 kilometers along the river bank. Each fort is 6 kilometers away from Liege, and the distance between the forts is also 6 kilometers. Of these 12 forts, 6 face the direction of Germany on the east bank, and 6 are protecting the west bank. The rear of Liege surrounded the city of Liege in a radial pattern, forming a circular firepower across the Maas River.

Each fort is integrally cast from reinforced concrete, most of which are built underground, with only the triangular top exposed.All the weapons and personnel of the turret are hidden underground. There are a total of 400 cannons and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Among them, there are no less than 1 210mm fortress guns and 8mm howitzers for each turret. All turrets are protected by steel armor. It can be rotated at a 360-degree angle and can also be automatically lifted.

The Fortress of Liège was designed by General Bleumont, a famous Belgian fortress engineering expert in the [-]th century. It was he who invented the tactic of building a "fortress ring" or stronghold belt a few miles away from the city to defend the city.Later, Leningrad, Stalingrad and other cities during World War II were all based on the design of the city defense fortress based on General Bleumont's Liège Fortress.

The turret of the Liege Fortress is equipped with searchlights for night-time instruction and shooting, and can be raised and lowered like the turret. There are also rapid-fire guns and machine guns to block the wilderness around the turret and nearby blind spots.

Under the fort, there are passages extending in all directions and various basements, storing a large amount of food, drinking water, ammunition, medical supplies and power supply facilities.There are also deep protective trenches dug around each fort, and there are a large number of barbed wires and obstacles outside the trenches.

For this fortress, the Germans were also very troublesome. In the end, Ludendorff used two new weapons, one was the "airship", which directly bombed and occupied the urban area of ​​Liege, and the other was the giant "Great Bell Tower". Mortars are tens of meters long, weigh hundreds of tons, have a caliber of 4mm, and each shell alone weighs 1 ton. They can penetrate hard reinforced concrete buildings and are extremely powerful.

In order to transport it to the front line, it must first be transported to the end of the railway line by train, then a special road will be laid, and then 36 strong horses will be used to drag it to the German position near Liege.At that time, there were only 5 such guns in the German army, and Xiao Maoqi allocated 4 of them to Ludendorff at once.

In the end, under the attack of the giant mortar of the Great Bell Tower, all 12 fortresses of the Liege Fortress were smashed into powder!

Chen Zhuo talked eloquently about this battle example. When it comes to Hamburg's tactics, it is actually the "air strike" + "long-range heavy artillery" they played in their last home game. When you think about it, it is indeed very similar!

(Fives)

Actually, this Chinese person moved out of history to quote the classics!This time Chen Zhuo offended not only the fans, but the citizens of Liège!

In the national history of Belgium, the evaluation of the "Battle of Liege Fortress" is that although the German army failed to defeat the German army in the end, the German army suffered huge losses in the Battle of Liege Fortress. The Belgian defenders, including 6000 militia guards, attacked More than half of the 2.5 casualties, but four times as many German casualties.

Belgian history also commented that the Battle of the Fortress of Liege won the Entente [***] team time to deploy their defenses on the Marne River, and ultimately made the "First Battle of the Marne River" launched by Germany fail. The heroic and fearless resistance taught the invaders a "painful lesson"...

However, the Chinese actually avoided the strategic failure and talked about the German tactical victory. This attitude is really annoying!

This is another form of anger in disguise. The team that has arranged defensive counterattack tactics is most afraid that the opponent will not come and attack violently!

Although the situation of leading by a large score forced Standard Liege to attack inevitably, the attack as a tactical choice is obviously very different from the mad attack after being irritated from the player's mentality!
