Chapter 326 The Strange Frontless Formation

After all, Solskjaer winked at Hoffman, as if telling him: Boy, hurry up and seize the opportunity!Don't miss it anymore!
Hoffman immediately "reported the data" after hearing the joy: "Coach Ole, it's like this. I played four games in the Bundesliga Bundesliga and started all four games. The coaches of the second team let me appear on the side. Appearing on the left, I only played half of the four games except the first one, I played the full 90 minutes in the other three games, and sent a total of 3 assists, oh yes! There is also an attack."

After all, Hoffman looked at Solskjaer happily. It seems that he is still very satisfied with his performance in the second division.

Sure enough, Solskjaer also nodded, with no concealment of satisfaction on his face.

"Jonas, very good. I believe you are ready. Go, go and warm up. Today I will check your condition to see if you will start the next game. Hehe..."

When Hoffman heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up: "Of order!!!"

Sure enough, Hoffman showed an excellent state in the training session, no matter whether he is on the left or right, he performed extremely well.

Originally, in the previous season, Hoffman had already shown his talent in Dortmund's starting lineup, but due to the crowding of the lineup, Klopp rented him out.

But Hoffman's luck was bad. After he was loaned out by Dortmund, Dortmund signed again in his position, and the two frontcourt players Ramos and Immobile were tight in a row.

This also made him return to Dortmund and still have no place after his loan trip to Mainz.

But I have to say that Hoffman's performance in Mainz is really good. He started 24 games, scored 6 goals and sent 7 assists. Such data is definitely at the starting level in the Bundesliga.

It's a pity that his club is a wealthy team like Dortmund. Although it is currently heavily in debt, there are still three inches of nails in the rotten ship. The thickness of Dortmund's lineup is still unmatched by other mid-lower Bundesliga teams.

And Hoffman has no place in Dortmund in the new season, which gave Solskjaer a chance to take advantage of the fire.

Almost at the price of cabbage, Jonas Hoffman was brought from the Signal Iduna Park Stadium to the Commercial Bank Stadium. Although the injury missed the first 10 rounds, the team is currently in an injury drought. At that time, Jonas Hoffman's timely contribution also gave Solskjaer a better choice!
In the 11th round, Frankfurt's home game against Hertha Berlin, as Hertha Berlin guessed, Frankfurt's main center Alexander Meyer was absent due to injury.

This also made Hertha Berlin much more at ease. In their view, without Alexander Meyer's high point in the frontcourt, Frankfurt's offensive threat is much smaller.

Judging from the roster and lineup arrangement given by Frankfurt before the game, Solskjaer made a change due to Alexander Meyer's injury.

In the lineup, Solskjaer put up a no striker formation!

Judging from the formation position on paper, Frankfurt's formation is a 4-4-2 without a striker!

In the position of central midfielder, the teenager Joel is paired with Hoffman, who has returned from injury. In the frontcourt, there is no center forward, only two wingers - Li Yuming on the left and Odegard on the right.

This not only surprised the Hertha Berlin players, it should be said that the fans, spectators and media who followed the game would be puzzled by Solskjaer's formation.

No front 4-4-2, then who will respond in the frontcourt?Who is the bridgehead for the two flanks?Who grabs the header as the high point in the middle?
These problems came one after another.

Solskjaer is not the kind of coach who plays pass-and-control football. Everyone knows this. Since English football must have a high center forward as a pillar in the frontcourt, the most important piece in Solskjaer's tactics is the step forward. A high center like me is "hand-to-hand" in the frontcourt.

But after looking at Solskjaer's two offensive midfielders in the midfield, you will also find that it is also impossible for these two players to appear in the middle as a bridgehead.

Because neither Joel nor Hoffman has sufficient height and size to support in the frontcourt.

So... where is the key point of Solskjaer's change? ? ?

Believe me, everyone wants to know! ! !Then don't hold back, let's watch!

After the start of the game, Frankfurt's position was indeed as they reported to the game official, a 4-4-2 position, and the center was indeed as mentioned above: Joel partnered with Hoffman!

In the beginning, Frankfurt did not attack, but relied on a 4-4-2 midfield advantage to maintain possession.

Since Hertha Berlin was weaker than their opponents in terms of strength, they also did not attack. Instead, they kept watching Frankfurt's ball possession to see what the hell Frankfurt was doing.

Hertha Berlin's tactical arrangements are relatively mature. They also play a 4-4-2 position, and Hertha Berlin's players are also very rude in the midfield.

Especially for Joel, who is only 20 years old. As soon as Joel takes the ball, he immediately surrounds two Hertha Berlin defenders to "rob".

This is not to say that Joel is strong. Hertha Berlin players need multiple teams to control Joel.

It was because of Joel's weak strength, and when the two of them pressed close to each other, most of Joel's balls would be lost.

This principle is like Tian Ji's horse racing. The opponent uses a medium horse to fight Frankfurt's low horse, and can easily stop the opponent's possession of the ball.

Due to Joel's lack of experience, he received a lot of pressure, so the ball will usually be lost when he comes to Joel, and Hertha Berlin can take advantage of this opportunity to fight back.

However, due to the problem of forward ability, Hertha Berlin's counterattack usually goes to Frankfurt's penalty area and misses the ball, or just kicks it casually outside the penalty area, which can't threaten the goal guarded by veteran Trapp at all.

Although Hertha Berlin has been pressing Frankfurt in the midfield, the dominant Frankfurt was able to gain a foothold in the midfield, and the teenager Joel became more and more on the ball after adapting to the rhythm of the field for almost 20 minutes. Calm, and the cooperation with teammates is becoming more and more skillful.

That’s what the young general needs. Let him kick up boldly, tell him that it’s okay to make mistakes, and there are big brothers to wipe your ass for you. Anyway, just kick out your excellent state in the training session, and don’t worry about making mistakes.

And once you make a mistake, even if it is a fatal mistake, you start to criticize and insult the young players, which can easily break the confidence of these young players.

Every star, every veteran came from an inexperienced young man.

No one can start in the top five European leagues from birth!
(I say this here mainly because I think Zeng Cheng’s behavior of pushing Wang Shangyuan in the match between Evergrande and Greentown was very wrong!!! It’s a blow to the confidence of young players. Just think about it, Zeng Cheng, you really played in the Chinese Super League from the beginning of your debut Haven’t you ever made a mistake? It’s the first time Wang Shangyuan has played in the Chinese Super League this season. If he makes a mistake and pushes him like this, then if the ball is missed, wouldn’t he have to beat him? It’s not advisable for a veteran to behave like this , The growth of young people still has to start from the "heart"!)
In this way, when the game progressed to the 20th minute, the score between Frankfurt and Hertha Berlin was still 0-0.

But Solskjaer is not in a hurry. Judging from the situation on the field, Frankfurt still holds the initiative.

Perhaps, is there any "big card" in Solskjaer's hand that has not yet been played?
In other words, the time is not right yet, is Solskjaer still waiting for the time to play his cards?

(Everyone should probably have guessed Solskjaer's change, right? Hehe~)
