Star Coach

Tuchel was more excited than Jiangshan when he saw the goal, "Boss, is this the teamwork you emphasize? We don't have super strong individuals, but we have the best team football?"

"Go on..." Jiangshan squinted his eyes and said with enjoyment.

"Amazing tactics, magical space pressure. If there are three players with super strong personal abilities in the frontcourt, the backcourt players can even be responsible for defense only! Just give the ball to the frontcourt trident to handle it." Tuchel kept shaking his head, "Unfortunately, it is impossible to have three super players in the frontcourt. Milan in the last century and Real Madrid now can't do it."

Jiangshan sneered, "There will be such a team in the future. Three players with super dribbling, shooting and assists will win the Champions League at least."

He was talking about Barcelona in the future. They formed the frontcourt MSN trident, a crazy goal machine, but unfortunately their achievements were not as good as when Guardiola led the team.

He now puts up this lineup just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and stealing Sacchi's spatial concept. What about Sacchi? He also reformed it based on Milan's former coach Liedholm.

Football is about mutual learning and continuous deepening!

In the last game against Saarbrücken, Jiangshan used Bosque's ideas to fine-tune the lineup and achieved success. In this game, he once again stole the ideas of famous coaches and fine-tuned the lineup, and now he scored again.

"Fortunately, it is a low-level league, and there are enough opportunities for me to experiment. If it were the top league, I would definitely be criticized to death for playing like this." Jiangshan secretly rejoiced that the advantage of the low-level league is that you can be a chef and make a big hodgepodge.

Don't you see that many of Benítez's coaching ideas were formed in the Spanish Second Division team Tenerife. When he was in Valencia, he took the team one step further and won the league and the League Cup. When he arrived at Liverpool, he directly won the Champions League and established the title of Master Bei.

It's a pity that this guy's ability to select a team is compared with Mourinho and Guardiola. It's a scumbag. He has no vision and is superstitious about data analysis. He thinks Barry is stronger than Alonso. Hmm. After success, he died miserably.

Back on the field, the tacit understanding between Hoffenheim players was improving, and they filled in for each other, so Bochum had no chance at all.

At halftime, Jiangshan immediately replaced Huth, the hero of the goal, with Didik, and continued to attack with speed.

Soon, Bochum was counterattacked by Hoffenheim again, and Pandel scored a goal, Hoffenheim led 2:0 and locked the victory.

Noilu gave up, the state shown by the team could not compete with Hoffenheim at all.

Until the end of the game, Bochum failed to create a decent scoring opportunity. Wiese only made one save in the whole game and controlled the ball steadily.

"No wonder Jiangshan claimed to upgrade at the beginning of the season. Hoffenheim has this strength." Noilu looked at the disappointed players, with disappointment, but more helpless.

Their players are no worse than ours. Several young people have infinite potential. With the blessing of Jiangshan's lineup, everyone can play 120% of their strength. Facing us, it is normal to win.

After the game, Jiangshan took the initiative to shake hands with Noylu, "Thank you, your players are very resilient. We will definitely be promoted next year."

"I also hope to be promoted sooner, otherwise it will not be a pleasant encounter to play against you in the Bundesliga."

"Thank you, come on!"

"Come on! You conquered me. You will become a famous coach in the future." Noylu said generously, "I look forward to this day coming sooner."

The fans were impressed by Jiangshan again. What about fans who have been fans for 50 years? Just because you haven't seen seven defenders doesn't mean there are none. The lineup is dead, but the people are alive.

Hoffenheim used seven defenders to advance to the fifth round of the German Cup and the semi-finals of the German Cup. It is still the only amateur team in the semi-finals.

The other three teams, Schalke 04; Leverkusen and Stuttgart, are all Bundesliga teams. Leverkusen ranks third, Schalke 04 ranks fifth, and Stuttgart ranks ninth. None of them is easy to deal with.

Jiangshan also feels that it is almost time to enter the semi-finals. It is almost impossible to defeat these teams. After they reach the semi-finals, it is impossible for them to use the substitute lineup like Bayern, and they must play with the main players.

What kind of luck does Hoffenheim need to beat the full main lineup of the Bundesliga?

…

"The draw results are out." Tuchel ran out of breath. I really don't know why his physical fitness has declined so much in less than two years after retirement. "We will play against Stuttgart."

"It's the best draw." Tuchel added.

Leverkusen and Schalke are ranked higher than Stuttgart in the league. They are considered the strongest contenders for the German Cup. And Stuttgart is considered the worst of the three Bundesliga teams.

Looking at the excited Tuchel, Jiangshan was a little speechless, "What do you think is the difference between the ninth place in the Bundesliga and the fifth and third places?"

"No difference." Tuchel stopped.

"So, Stuttgart people must be happier than us. They drew the best draw. We are just a big gift package."

Why are they unhappy? The distance is short. The distance between the two teams is less than 100 kilometers. It will take a while to get there, and there is no physical consumption. Then they are a Bundesliga team, facing the German Southern League team, aren't they happy?

German media analyzed that although Jiang Shan led Hoffenheim to the semi-finals of the German Cup, setting a record in the lower-level league. But what about their opponents? The three Bundesliga teams were all average in strength, and Bayern, who was careless and underestimated the opponent, still defeated them in a penalty shootout.

Now it is time to fight, Stuttgart will definitely play with all the main players, and still have a greater chance of winning. Hoffenheim? Just a stepping stone, Stuttgart must be thinking about whether to play against Leverkusen or Schalke 04 in the final.

"Uh..." Tuchel calmed down, thinking about it, it was really like this, Stuttgart must be crazy happy.

Others don't know, Jiangshan knows very well, Stuttgart's group of people is not easy to deal with, Magath's team style is quite fierce, defense is also tough, not easy to deal with.

Stuttgart also won the Bundesliga championship in the 2006-07 season, and now there are several champions in the team.

But there is also good news, Jiangshan's previous life in Stuttgart's Lahm and Kuranyi are both in Hoffenheim, which can be regarded as the butterfly effect brought by Jiangshan.

Before playing against Stuttgart, Hoffenheim will go to the away game to challenge Saarbrücken, which ranks second in the German Southern League.

Unfortunately, Hoffenheim failed to win this time and only tied with Saarbrücken away, 1:1. Dorante scored the equalizer at the last moment to keep the team's 2-point lead.

After this round, Hoffenheim finally has enough energy to prepare for the German Cup match against Stuttgart. Facing a higher-level game, Jiangshan has more things to do and every detail must be considered.

It is difficult, very difficult to change the current situation of the team becoming a big gift package.
