Star Coach

Chapter 30: Unfavorable Adjustment

Time flies, and it's training time again. New members of the team have arrived one after another, including 16-year-old Huth, 17-year-old Ram and Pander, and Larn, who just turned 22, all of whom are younger than Jiangshan.

Together with Hitzlsperger, Kevin Kuranyi and Wiese, who joined the team last season, the team lineup has been updated unknowingly, and young people account for the majority.

When Duraf returned to the team, he was shocked to find that Jiangshan had even sold his old brother Luhmann. Luhmann not only lost his starting position last season, but now even his place to stand has been vacated by Jiangshan.

He was furious, but did not dare to explode. He had seen Jiangshan's methods. If he confronted him on the training ground, not to mention not being able to play, it would be difficult for him to go home.

Luhmann had a conflict with Jiangshan last season, and was knocked down by Jiangshan with one kick. In the end, no one dared to confront him.

Schweinsteiger is still in the team. Jiangshan has already communicated with him to play well and go back in the winter transfer window to slap the Bayern management in the face. Jiangshan wants to use him, but he doesn't want to use him. Training is an important period of running-in, and he wants to try a new lineup.

But Schweinsteiger is an indispensable part. Without him, the team's creativity will drop a level. Whether it is Hitzlsperger, Lahn or Duraf, their creativity on the court cannot compare with him.

There are not many creative players in today's German football. Ballack is in Bayern, and Schweinsteiger is already a top young man. Unlike the future blowout state of young people such as Ozil and Gotze, Germany is now in a period of low tide.

Excluding Schweinsteiger, he will have to change his playing style and run-in again, which is under great pressure. The goal of the new season is still to upgrade, lead the team to the second division, and become a professional team.

Hope didn't put pressure on him, let alone interfere with Jiangshan's deployment. Rothaus also took care of the team's operations. Jiangshan almost took care of the team's training and competition. He had thought about this problem for several days before and decided to start over and train a new tactical system.

"Everyone had a good time during the offseason," Jiangshan looked at Duraf's swollen belly, "Now it's time to lose weight."

"So, starting today, we're going to play something different. The back line of last season is separated from the main players in the front and midfield, and we're fighting against each other."

Weiser, Lahm, Hunt, Instrom and Kai are in a group, with substitutes and new players, while the main players in the front and midfield are on the same side, training offense and defense at the same time.

"Tuchel, you choose a team."

Tuchel smiled wickedly, "I choose the main team, will you be angry?" The team doesn't have many forwards, three of them are the main players, and the only substitute is the old Ribbeck. It depends on how you play.

"I'll be angry if you don't choose me." Jiangshan arranged a new lineup, with Larn and old players in the midfield, and directly arranged a lineup of five midfielders to strengthen defense. Ribeck also became a midfielder, ambushing behind the striker.

There were no extra choices for the striker position, and Jiangshan used the new player Huth.

The young Huth was stunned. What the hell is going on? You asked me to play as a striker? Please, boss, my position is a central defender, look at my body.

Jiangshan patted Huth's shoulder, "Are you scared? Don't waste this body, there is a little advantage in headers. When I train, I will let you play as a striker more often, so that you can feel the position of the defensive players, and you have to think about solving it."

Several players under Jiangshan were in uncommon positions, allowing them to develop new postures.

The result is predictable. Jiangshan team lost the game and lost 3 goals in one breath, scoring only 1 goal, and central defender Hunt scored a goal with a corner kick opportunity.

After the training, Jiangshan continued to analyze the video and observe the technical characteristics of each player. There is still a long time to polish. It will take time for new players to reach the level of last season.

In the next few days, the player combination kept changing, and various new attempts kept appearing. Goalkeeper Wiese also played as a center forward, and Hunt played as a goalkeeper, but the results were average.

Huth took the forward position, became more and more comfortable, and often scored goals.

Durav found that his tactical position was declining, and he couldn't even compare with Larn. He guessed some of Jiangshan's thoughts.

A week later, he finally couldn't help it and confronted Jiangshan, "Coach, I want to leave."

At the end of the season, Durav had been wavering, wanting to leave but couldn't make up his mind. Seeing the newcomers gradually taking over, he finally figured it out. He wanted to play, he wanted a higher platform, and he wanted a better team. More importantly, he wanted to vent his anger for his old partner.

Durav thought that if he continued to hang around in Hoffenheim, he would be killed by Jiangshan sooner or later. In his heart, Jiangshan had been labeled as ruthless.

"Let's go? Okay, no problem. Have you found a team? Or should I talk to Rothaus?" Jiang Shan suppressed his anger and acted unusually calm.

The game is about to start, and you're going to do something to me?

Duraf was disappointed. He didn't even see Jiang Shan's furious look? He turned and said calmly, "A team has already contacted me, Stuttgart Kickers, which is close to my home and is quite suitable."

"Okay, no problem, I'll talk to Mr. Rothaus and let him make the move." Jiang Shan was more calm than Duraf, and seemed to be unaffected. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Rothaus to ask him to facilitate Duraf's transfer.

Duraf took a deep breath, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't say it, "Thank you, coach."

"Play well, I'm optimistic about you." Jiang Shan encouraged with a smile.

Although Rothaus was surprised, he immediately started negotiations. Stuttgart is an amateur team, just a team from the German Southern League. They don't have much money, so the bid is definitely not high. Jiangshan said that he would follow the rules.

The rule is to sell to the one who has more money. Durav will go to the one who bids the highest.

The training camp is still going on. The team keeps changing the lineup, but still can't adjust the best lineup. Now Durav is leaving again. The news has spread quietly. Jiangshan can see that there is a bad atmosphere in the team.

The poor running-in has brought about the shaking of people's hearts. If it is not solved quickly, the team will definitely have problems in the new season.

Before the training started that day, Jiang Shan greeted Schweinsteiger, "I want you to train them and torture the players. Use your talent to train these younger generations well."

"So, during this period, I plan to let you wear a substitute vest and teach them a lesson. This is also good for you. I will make you the core. You are now leading the team independently and bearing the pressure. When you return to Bayern, you will definitely be able to carry the banner."

"No problem, I will do it well." Schweinsteiger did not doubt him and readily agreed.

The team's lineup changed again, and the main lineup gradually emerged. However, the formation and player positions have changed. Four defenders, Pander and Lahm occupy both sides, Kai was promoted to midfield, and cooperated with Lahn and Hitzlsperger. The defense and organizational ability are both standard, and the counterattack pass is very sharp.

In the frontcourt position, Dorante rushed forward, Kuranyi and Didik shrank to the middle, assisted in defense, and supported the forward line.

The formation is a bit strange, the middle is very strong, and the side is relatively weak, but the overall defense is still thick, a sharp counterattack lineup.

Tuchel was confused, "What formation is this? 4321? What a strange formation. Why did you put Kai in the middle? He only has a good long pass and is not good at defense."

"I will use his long pass. Let Lahn and Hitzlsperger do the defense."

Tuchel gave a thumbs up, "I have learned something new. 4321 formation, you can come up with it."
