Fulham, which arrived in Hamburg after a 15-hour journey, was exhausted. Fortunately, assistant coach Riley Vinson and Fulham's team leader made preparations ahead of time. Fortunately, there will be 4 days between the end of the Premier League and the Europa League. interval.

Returning to London to participate in the league after the Europa League is over, but there is only a 48-hour interval. No wonder Hodgson denounced the bureaucrats of the FA and UEFA for not caring about players at all, but purely treating the game as a cash cow.

In Hamburg, the Hamburg club did not make things difficult for Fulham in terms of the noise surrounding the hotel, the transportation from the hotel to the training ground and the competition venue, and familiarity with the stadium. The Hamburg team’s gentlemanly style is one aspect. Calling to ask for care is also one of the reasons.

However, during the process of adapting to the venue, Fulham's request to clear the field was rejected. The reason is very clear. The training at the Hamburg Stadium two days before the game is open to fans and there is a fee. Use these two "Public Training Days before the Game" to raise funds for the earthquake-stricken areas in China.

It is well-founded and has a very international humanitarian spirit. When Hoffman talked about it, Fayed could only smile, but Fayed did not answer Hoffman's words, and did not mention the donation. Fayed I don't have much intersection with China, although a large number of Chinese tourists will definitely go to his department store to shop and take photos in front of the statues of Dodi and Diana when they visit London, but that's business.

Hoffman didn't mention Fayed's indifference.Chen Zhuo is in the Hamburg team, not in Fulham. If there are no Chinese players in the Hamburg team, what happens in China has nothing to do with the Hamburg club.

Without a closed training environment, Hodgson did not conduct more tactical secret drills. They were all basic recovery and routine contact. The club's on-site observation staff made a full video of Fulham's training. During Lehm's training, Moniz also personally observed on the spot for more than two hours.

"Fulham is just a mid-range team in the Premier League. They have the same characteristics as our opponent Mainz who just ended the game. They are both weak in offense and strong in defense. Fulham is also such a team. The Hamburg team must have a clean sheet. Yes, the key is the question of how many to zero, it may be [-] to [-], [-] to [-], or it may be [-] to [-]. Now I am thinking that if Fulham parks the bus in front of the gate, the excitement of the game will definitely be great. It's a big discount, but I'm afraid they will do that..." Chen Zhuo said at the pre-match press conference.

Teams with strong offense and strong defense are all first-class teams. For example, after 35 rounds of matches in the top three teams in the Premier League this season, Chelsea scored 86 goals and conceded 32 goals, Manchester United scored 78 goals and conceded 78 goals, and Arsenal scored 39 goals. Conceding 30 goals, they are all teams with strong offense and defense.The same is true for the Bundesliga. After 58 rounds, Bayern and Schalke scored 49 goals and [-] goals respectively, conceding both goals, ranking the top two.

Strong offense and strong defense are top-notch, weak offense and weak defense are undoubtedly relegation teams, so there are no need to give examples, and then there are two types, one is strong offense and weak defense, and the other is weak offense and strong defense. The teams are mid-range teams.

Relatively speaking, Fulham is a team with weak offense and strong defense. Many mid-range teams in the five major leagues that lack outstanding forwards rely on tenacious defense to gain a foothold. After 35 rounds, Fulham conceded a goal Only 37 goals, two fewer goals than No.3 Arsenal conceded, but in terms of the number of goals, Fulham only scored 35 goals, not even half of Arsenal's.

In fact, when analyzing a team, there is also a data analysis of the points obtained by these goals. Taking the Premier League as an example, Chelsea scored 86 points with 77 goals, Manchester United scored 78 goals with 76 goals, and Arsenal scored 78 goals. 71 points, in the data of goal value ratio, Manchester United's goals are the most valuable.And Fulham scored 35 points with 43 goals. There is no doubt that their goals are the most valuable!

So what about burgers?The Hamburg team is slightly stronger in offense and weaker in defense, and can be classified as a mid-upstream team.

So far this season, Hamburg has scored 50 goals, 1 more than Schalke, conceded 34 goals, only 5 more than Schalke, and has a goal difference of 4, but less points than Schalke 04. 6 points, that is, two victories.

The confrontation between these two teams is actually as Chen Zhuo said, if Fulham is determined to defend a zero to zero, the Hamburg team may not be able to break through their solid city defense!

"Was he already in the Hamburg team when Fulham played Juventus? Oh, I'm sorry I forgot. At that time, he was still thinking more about whether he could play or not. He didn't have the energy to pay attention to that legend. The shocking reversal, although the whole world applauded Fulham for at least a week, 4:1 victory over Juventus, hehe, he should not have been to Italy, oh, it seems that he has not been to England ,Young people are always a bit aggressive, haha..." Hodgson is actually a very elegant old man, according to the Fulham press spokesman, the tone of several places is not like this.

"At that time, he was still thinking more about whether he could play football." The original words should be, "At that time, he was still happy to play for a few minutes during garbage time"!

"It seems that he has never been to England, young people are always a bit aggressive, hehe...", it should be "It seems that he has never been to England, London is a big city, we must give him a guide..."

Hodgson's sarcasm still deleted these more damaging words.

After these words were spoken, "Hamburger Sport Zeitung" immediately refuted Hodgson, citing many examples of "nervous knife", and even talking about Hodgson's inexplicable losses during the low period, cheering for the Hamburg team.

Those are all peripheral tidbits, at best, it only shows that the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder before the match even starts.But Chen Zhuo also knew that relying on these, it is impossible to shake Hodgson's tenacious belief!

Due to the importance of this game, before the match against Mainz, the coaching team of Hamburg and the technical center of Spinwitz's agency began to search for Hodgson's detailed coaching information according to Chen Zhuo's request. Chen Zhuo had another request, hoping to find out who was most influenced by Hodgson's tactics and where he learned from. The coaching team in Hamburg was powerless to do this. In the end, it was the technical center of Spinwitz's agency that found it.

After seeing it, Chen Zhuo was also happy, what a fate!It turns out that the old coach Hodgson's coaching career is led by him, Bobby Horton!Former Chinese Olympic team coach!

Roy Hodgson was Bobby Horton's assistant coach for the six years before Roy Hodgson coached the Swedish Malmo team as a coach in 1985. Before that, Malmo's coach was Bobby Horton! In 1985, Horton went to West Asia to seek gold and served as the head coach of the Saudi First Division team Itiad, so Hodgson changed from an assistant to the head coach of Malmö. From this perspective, the solid foundation of Malmö is still Horton hit it.

According to the information provided by the Technology Center of Spanwitz Company, Horton and Hodgson are actually brothers. Their mentors were Alan Wade, the technical director of UEFA at the time. "Coaching Manual", and divided the football at that time into two factions: "England model" and "German academic school"...

Looking at it slowly, Chen Zhuo felt that he was getting clearer and clearer.

Hodgson, like Horton, stubbornly insists on 4-4-2 play, adheres to the "England model", not long balls! The focus of the "England model" is "pressing, zone-marking and defensive counterattack through direct passes". Horton also used this tactic when he was coaching in China...

At that time, the Chinese sports media criticized Horton's rhetoric. At that time, he said that Horton's style of play was that "the main task of the midfielder is to defend, and the offense is to drive through the midfield from the backcourt. The two forwards compete with the opponent's defender for a high ball and then shoot."

In fact, Horton has explained it in detail in his book "Tactics", which is not what the Chinese media interpreted and criticized.

Hodgson's 4-4-2 is actually the same thing as Horton's routine in the Olympic team!

It's just that Horton didn't explain that his "England model" first has high requirements on the physical fitness of the players, and then the personal abilities of the players, especially the defensive ability.
