Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 127 Back to the Origin
The middle of the next week will be the semi-finals of the German Cup. Fortunately, 1860 has drawn its opponent in the second division of the Bundesliga - Mainz!

This ignited the hope of the double crown from the top management of 1860 to the fans.

The league championship is already stable, and now it is better to focus on the German Cup.

However, this weekend is the game against Osnabrook.

Since he put more emphasis on the German Cup, in order to prepare for the German Cup, Kurz chose to rotate most of the main players, which is equivalent to playing on the bench.

However, 1860 with the champion Yu Wei and playing at home, 1860 still scored a point.

The German Cup game 1860 was an away game, so Kurz led the team to Mainz one day earlier.

Mainz's home stadium is the Coface Arena, which can hold 18600 people.Tickets for this game were sold out many days before the game.

Therefore, this game is bound to be overcrowded.

However, it is not a game in the Munich area after all.

Although it is an important game for the team, there are not many fans following the team to the away game.But as long as they go, they are all diehard fans.

1860 only played one game against Mainz this season, and their record is still very good.

However, looking at the history of previous battles, 1860 was really miserable.

And it is still at Mainz's home court, so they are born with an advantage.

The only advantage of 1860 is that their position in the league is already very stable, and now they can try their best to fight for the German Cup.

However, Mainz is now only No.4 in the standings, and he still has to play a play-off with a team in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga to win the promotion spot.

There are two more games, which may be a big reason why the team cannot be promoted.

Therefore, they definitely want to stay in the German Cup.

"Guys, we have already defeated our opponents in the league, so in this more important game, I hope you can also play a stronger strength and prove to everyone that we are the strongest in the Bundesliga. A team!"

In the locker room, Kurtz said this to everyone on the team.

Although this game is very important, the players of the two teams were very restrained and did not start a war of words in the media beforehand. This is one of the reasons for the media's displeasure.

Now I can only watch the game with peace of mind.

The lineup for this game has changed a bit compared to the entire season. Lu Chen is still in the position of the attacking midfielder. Behind him are three defensive midfielders, namely Brothers Bender and Johnson.

In front of him, the two strikers are Routh and Schaeffler.

Those who are interested in this formation can see that it is the same formation as the one used in the last round of the German Cup against Bayern.

Of course, everyone understands that Kurtz is training for the Bundesliga next season.

After being promoted to the Bundesliga, he relied on his high-level stinginess, or in other words, when the team was in such a serious debt situation.

It's a good thing if the team doesn't leave a few core players, signings?nonexistent.

Therefore, it is very likely that Kurz will play in the Bundesliga with this lineup.

The Bundesliga is not as easy to play as the Bundesliga. Even if Kurz wants to insist on playing offensive football, the team's lineup cannot persist.

Therefore, returning to 4-3-1-2 is his best approach.

Even if he could, Kurtz would still like to play 4-3-2-1.

But since he couldn't find a midfielder who could cooperate well with Lu Chen, he had to give up.

When the formation map of the game was displayed on the TV screen, all the fans seemed to have returned to the beginning of the season. The team relied on this formation to win one game after another with difficulty.

Now that this formation is used again, the mentality of the players is completely different from before.

Because, they found their core - Lu Chen!
As long as Lu Chen is on the court, they seem to have souls.

Although Lu Chen is only a 17-year-old boy, his performance has become more and more stable, more and more like what a core should do.

After the start of the game, for the first time, Lu Chen didn't go directly to the opposite half, but returned to the midfield and cooperated with his teammates to pass and receive the ball with peace of mind.

It's not that Lu Chen's enthusiasm has been sapped, but that he took the initiative to integrate himself into the team.

This kind of player is the head coach's favorite player. What the head coaches need is not eleven superstars fighting on their own, but players who can integrate into a team!

Therefore, regardless of whether Kurtz will continue to teach 1860 next season, after Lu Chen makes such a change, his main position will not be able to escape.

After all, Lu Chen's strength is still there.

Kurtz stood on the sidelines, watching Lu Chen's performance, he was very happy in his heart.

If Lu Chen was just an ordinary player, his demands on Lu Chen would definitely not be so high. You can use your speed to drag the opposing defense. As for the organization, I still have a midfielder. What do you want?
However, Lu Chen was different. He could tell that Lu Chen was born to take great responsibility.

Therefore, his demands on Lu Chen were even higher.

Lu Chen did not disappoint him. In the midfield, he relied on his own ability to connect the midfield and the frontcourt very closely, becoming the engine from the midfield to the frontcourt.

Here we should talk about the other three midfielders in 1860, Lars Bender, who is in charge of dispatching in the center; Sven Bender, who sweeps the audience; Johnson, who protects Lars Bender.

The three have a clear division of labor, ensuring that the team's offense will not be weak.

Moreover, among the three defensive midfielders, Lars Bender also has a certain defensive ability, and the hardness of the team's midfield has been greatly improved compared to before.

It was like in the 10 minutes of the game, Calhan broke through with the ball, and Pekovic was on the sidelines.

However, before Calhan entered Lars Bender's defense zone, he was already entangled by the retreating Lu Chen.

In order to get rid of Lu Chen, he had to choose to change direction.

However, Sven Bender appeared in front of him.

In desperation, Calhan had to pass the ball, and the way forward was blocked.So he can only choose to pass back or cross.

Calhan didn't want to give up the offensive opportunity he had won so hard this time. He made a cross and passed it to Pekovic who was on the sidelines.

However, Johnson came out of the diagonal stab and cut the pass directly with his foot.

1860 The defense of several people in the midfield is like building a great wall in the midfield to defend against the enemy thousands of miles away!
After Johnson controlled the football, he made a long pass directly.

He didn't look at Lu Chen's position, he just passed the ball to a place far in front of Lu Chen, that empty space.

He knew that Lu Chen would not disappoint him.
