-19, the father brought Dortmund within inches of the title lost by just two points at the end and gave their biggest challenge for the title in years, but how did my father achieve this turnaround?

Dortmund just before we get into it, although if you're new here.

A second hypothesis was that years of playing in clubs, Gagan's pressing style had worn down the team, as it is a physically demanding style, so when he left Dortmund he brought in an astute replacement in Thomas, who could previously do so while replacing the club and mine administrators who had used a high-energy focused attack style. He was also using young players, all trades that Dortmund valued and would help make for an easy transition from the club's era in his time was a success, finishing second during his first season and third the following behind a strong Leipzig while winning the cup. the DFB.

However, it is important to note that despite good leadership positions, they were never in a realistic position. challenge for the title in either season, finishing 10 and 18 points behind, buying a good season tactically to sustain it, employed a similar concept to the clop, but adapted it initially, started with a 4-2-3-1 and focused more on warming up the ball when in possession, as the statistics show, this meant that the players had more time to rest with the ball and could conserve some energy, but when they did not have the ball they used this conserved energy to press harder. consistent, but in addition, the carbon also generated greater tactical intelligence by shifting smoothly. formations ranging from a four three three two three four three and even a 4-2-3-1 throughout the season.

A good example is Julián Vigo, who arrived from 1860 Munich as a promising defensive midfielder and quickly learned to adapt to become a deep-lying playmaker. or a defensive powerhouse depending on the system they were using, this was just one of several young players who thrived under Terkel, including Dembélé and polo. These two combined with Royce and Aubameyang meant that Dortmund would attack with their pace and ferocity that overwhelmed their opponents but took it. He faced many of the same problems the club had as he clashed with Hrvatska over the continued sales of the club's best players, which meant he left the club just days after winning the Pokal and then came the 1718 season, the last before Farah was later named Peter Bosch.

Tormund was attracted to him due to his ability to work with young teams, plus the front-foot high-pressing system he used, but it was a short spell with Bosh being sacked on December 10, with Dortmund remaining in eighth place in the league and without having been able to win a single match in the group stage of the Champions League, it was strange because Dortmund started strong, leading the table until matchday 9, where their tactical inefficiencies became evident. Michael Zorg said that a major reason for Starting in Vash was to provide defensive solidity, however, the opposite happened. Dortmund were productive, an attack scoring the joint most in the League, yet defensively only four teams conceded more times than them.

Bosch would point to a series of injuries suffered in defence, two key players such as P Scheck Doom, the schmaltzy Batra and top rack, all of whom were out for a period, whilst Bosh could see this as bad luck, the constant injuries They are a sign of a faulty playing style or training method in IAC. Bosh had a young team that could press relentlessly, but Dortmund. he was a bit older so this didn't translate as well and this, combined with the fact that he had less position in Dortmund than @ix, meant that he was putting more pressure on the team.

Dorman tended to fade in the second half of games and conceded most of his goals. In the second half he showed that there may have been a problem with the physical demands, his offensive tactics were not a problem using the winds, while when attacking he frequently allowed Aubameyang to drop during the creation of the central opening gap that the wingers would attack. . the midfield moved high as a result, white players like the Pole thrived and O'banion often arrived in the box to also finish with 1.17 XG/90 and a Bosch, but defense was a major issue to support the high pressing style . his defense kept a very high line often right on the halfway line considering the back four included Socrates and are returning from injury.

P Scheck, meaning they were not the fastest, it is clear that this was a bad plan that was easily countered by many teams. The Highline also meant that Dortmund's midfielders were not comfortable on the ball, as Vigo said that even small mistakes created scoring opportunities for the opposition, so Dorman often overlooked the midfield when attacking, causing Stoeger was brought in as his replacement and steadied the ship as predicted, allowing them to qualify for the Champions League on the final day of the season. The tactical change he made was, firstly, to lower the defensive line to provide more protection for Berkey.

The bottom line also meant that when there was a loss of possession Dortmund's midfield had time to retreat, usually falling into a 4-1 4-1 formation with the defensive midfielder being key to the process rather than a high-pressing system down the line. which they now chose. A more zonal method that allowed them to plug any gaps by keeping the midfield narrow by falling into a third place, opened gaps in the rival defense in which Royce and Poulos could counterattack, but the problem with the harasser was that it stripped Dortmund of their identity . the new system was efficient, it meant no more fluid attacking football or high pressing, it made Dortmund a word you would never associate with them.

The stroke system was fine for the cone, one team offered to fight relegation, but the Roman fans couldn't stomach this as a As a result, Farva was brought in and indeed he had been the man they wanted to bring in when he initially took the left winger, so Dortmund were delighted when he finally came on, having shown his ability to work with big-name players like Balotelli and his ability. to quickly improve young players like Tesh Dagon Xhaka Kramer and Royce and Moochin Gladbach, he was also known for his attacking football in contrast to Astorga and was very detail-oriented throughout his career.

Favreau is drastically outplayed x.g, a key trade when he tries to take down a team. That's better on paper, having noted defensive and midfield problems in the previous season, he is moving quickly in the transfer window to tighten up the previously easily ignored midfield. Vigil and Delaney came in to improve the defense, Diallo and a Kanji arrived, as well as Ashraf Akemi. on loan and the loan of al qasas became the permanent father of Magic with young players, was in sight in 1819 with Sancho Hakeem II behind do a kanji and Ali de Diallo orlick, so our tactics for the employee first them He gave consistency using a 4-2-3. -1 in 85% of games has moved them to one possession or between teams, meaning Berkey often has the ball with the centre-backs moving a little more, freeing up the full-back to move further up the pitch, which creates a central space. but the double pivot falls deep, providing multiple options at the same time that the white full-backs allowed the wingers to move towards the center, although their possession was based on them maintaining their verticality, so as the defense feels comfortable with the ball, They look for line-breaking passes towards the midfield, but the father's game.

It's a numbers game that looks for numerical advantage wherever the ball is, so both pivots drop deep to receive the ball, they move up as a unit and the full backs are key here, pushing up and always being available to a change or a third party. The man runs to get behind the defense, but again, to gain that numerical advantage, one of the central defenders would often carry the ball into midfield. Fabri has used Royce or Goethe as Ford, who are comfortable in midfield, so they often drop him. the midfield to add numbers, so that if the opponent concentrates its defensive option in the center, the four bars to make wild advances or if the defense remains open, the three forwards can easily combine between the lines.

Fabrice's team can also show patience when necessary, looking for spaces in which to free up Sancho Royce and Garza, this translated to the final third with the abundance of white and central options creating indecision in the opponent about where to focus their numbers, a Often the bottom four would be dragged out, allowing Royce and Sancho to attack the half-spaces and search. goals or if they went wide they had numbers centrally to reach the end of the centers, so they took few shots, but they are from regions with a high percentage, which means that despite the few shots they achieved the second most goals per game again, farmers' preference for having numbers surround the ball meant there were spaces behind, but unlike borsch, whose single pivot system, bidder Vigo were overwhelmed in midfield, Delaney and Witsel maintained that security moving to cover any space to stop counterattacks, meaning they conceded fewer counterattacks and unlike Bosh, Farah prepared for this situation in the transfer window by buying fast defenders in a Diallo and zag ado kanji who had had the pace to cover the large spaces left behind when they defended as understa although compact and used marking oriented to the zone to cut off the passage. lanes and when the opponent was in a controlling position they used a middle block again reducing the space behind the defense Farva again uses numbers to overcome XG by placing players between the ball and the goal as well as applying pressure on the shooter, that It meant that even though they allowed shots from good areas, they didn't concede as often, so in many ways Farah has combined the best of the two Peters to get optimal results.

All this meant that Dortmund finished second just two points behind Bayern and in fact I would be disappointed if they had not won the title, 1920 will be the season that Dortmund return to the top, we will have to wait and see but what do you have a parent leave it in the comments below? That's all for today and remember, keep it simple.
