As a Brighton fan, Hurzeler looks to be a great match. In his first interviews he's spoken positively about the structure of the club, was humble, and gave the a great quote: ‘We want to challenge the establishment'

You just know we're gonna give the ball away and then have no midfield and only two centre backs to defend the counter

I guess the core concept is pretty simple. Make sure that you are where they are not within the final third. I also love the idea of bullying the opponent's 6, which is the most important defensive player in modern football. His job is to be wherever the game is, and you instruct your players to be wherever he is not which leaves him with nothing to do.

Some useful points- The Hürz in Hürzeler is pronounced like Hertz, not like Hearse. The ried of Pipinsried is pronounced read, not ride. Irvine is primarily regarded as an 8. Hartel is an 8/10 and has been one of the top scorers of the 2. BL for many years, long before Hürzeler arrived. Pauli were great last season so his numbers are up but that is true for the whole team. I came second in kicker (German fantasy football) last season and Hartel was more or less the first name in my squad. Switching between a back 3 and back 4 when winning the ball is quite common in Germany and achieved in several different ways. The 2-3-4-1/3-2-4-1 formation that Pauli often use for their attacks is incredibly popular in Germany, having been played by the national team in some form for the entire Löw era. The space on the right flank vs Osnabrück was created because the VfL were chasing the game and therefore the LW had not tracked back properly. If wanting a clip to highlight Pauli overloads, I would suggest the second (Hartel) goal against Hertha on Match Day 25. Not only are Hertha a much better side but you can get frames just before the goal of 6 Pauli players within a 20 x 10 box on the right, which created the space on the edge of the box you are describing here.

"Hartel is an 8/10 and has been one of the top scorers of the 2. BL for many years, long before Hürzeler arrived. " Welll. Not Quite. Hartel sure always had pretty strong Assist Rates but under Hürzeler his scoring abilities just exploded. first of all, before coming to St. Pauli he usually made 5-8 Scorerpoints over 34-37 Matches in a year. the only time he achieved more than ten scorers was with Arminia Bielefeld in 2019/20 he scored one Goal and got 13 Assists which was good but expectable to his skill-level and position (and especially Bielefelds Scoring-Rate in that year. Otherwise Hartels Scoring was pretty mediocre. 4 goals and 6 Assists in 60 matches (evenly split over both seasons) then his time in bielefeld where he racked up 14 in 55 Matches and at St. Pauli under Schultz his scoring was stayed good but not "best" worthy in his first season he scored two goals and gave 8 ( 6 in the league 2 in the cup) and in the first half of the second season he managed 3 Goals and 4 Assists. So for St. Pauli under Schultz he had 5 Goals and and 12 Assists (17) in 53 Matches which is good but no Top-Scorer Level for 2. Bundesliga. Before this season his best Placement in the 2. Bundesliga Scorer-List was 25th with Bielefeld in 2019/20 Especially comparing this to Hartels Scoring Explosion in this Season where he managed to score 21 Goals and rack up 15 Assists (making it the first time ever to score more often than assisting) making it 36 Scorers in 37 Matches. to be fair and set it to a total perspective taking the second half of the Season before into the equation he got a total of 41 Scorer Points in 54 Matches meaning Hartels Numbers did not just get up but they more than doubled and especially his Goal Scoring was majorly impacted by Hürzelers Playstyle. Before this season it basically was a running gag among St. Pauli (and other teams he played for) Players to joke about him having anything a great Footballer needs except for good scoring rates usually being more associated with strong passes and fine dribblings. So it's definitely not like he always was a strong scorer who got slightly better. he went from "pretty good" to "basically unstoppable" and a lot of this was based on the way Hürzeler used Hartel in his System.

Hürzeler actually often said that even though they have clear tactics, especially against the ball and in build-up play, he doesn’t restrict his players when it comes to attacking and scoring goals. He wants his players to take responsibility and use their own thoughts and ideas rather than being obligated to play in a certain way which makes it really hard for the opposition to prepare for a game against a Hürzeler side.

@mogliii6029

Not quite correct, but you got the basic idea right. He gives his players certain moving patterns that they can use, but how and when they use each pattern is pretty much random/chosen by the player in the game

Found your analysis very interesting. One of the things that I like about his system is its creative self adjustment. When the other team starts to figure you out then it's in built that your system adapts! I wonder how it will go against a low block and explosive counter attack? I have a feeling that it's going to be an exciting season to be Brighton fan!

@LTR-sb2gr

Hürzeler actually awnsered this with St. Pauli before. It wasn't always successful but usually there have been clear visible strategies. First of all was consequent luring. so basically in a 0:0 Situation against any low block and rush Teams. Step one always was an extreme form of inviting the opponent to come up and play by playing sheer endless passes between Goalkeeper and last row that sometimes where played in a manner that looked super risky and involved passes that even make you as a watching fan super uncomfortbable because you just instantly hear the Coach that shouted at you as a kid for these kinda back passes (through the center - no look towards Goalkeeper standing in front of and not beside the goal etc.) so basically forcing the the oppenents attackers to attack and press at some point instantly creating room and overplay in some areas. If this didn't work step two was Patience. If this did not have any effects because the other team basically did not leave there own box/defending third everything for the own half build up got either scrapped or just compressed into the opponents half but with a pretty strong sense for saftey. meaning usualls a triangle of centerbacks arround the middle sircle that basically dealt as distributional base behind th shown attacking pattern of two lines 4 and 3 with lots of freedom of movement actually completely overtaking each other (for example forward pass -> leading to all two of the forwards/attackers to move towards this pass while those equivalents switch in front of them to then recieve the ball giving again space for the attacking row to overtake again. the key point to success with this playstyle was the "Saftey- Standards" no matter how defensive/passive the opponent behaved if the situation in the last third got just a little bit unclear the direct response was "turn arround - look for center the backs pass to them they will redistribute the ball into an area that has more control sometimes even play it back to the keeper coming out to then completely re-align and regain control and if lost posession usually one try to instantly regain posesseion and/or just block the ball from being played long by the nearest players while everyone else switched in to defending mode building up some flat 5-4-1 ish positioning. so basically this kind of play was matched by a team that not just likes to play dynamcally but that loves to have the ball and that starts to just dominate. Over the whole last season only two teams have been rather successful with this kind of tactics Hannover in the first round of the season managed to keep a 0:0 by basically sacrificing every chance of scoring themselves and Elversberg managed to get a 3:4 away win with this sort of kick and rush and the help of basically the whole team having a bad day. Usually the best way to stress Hürzelers System was by creating total chaos using dangerously aggressive first row pressing or just throw things in go high own risks and just make sure nobody has actual smooth posession at any point of the match (which usually is an intense playstyle uns could often not be hold up over the whole playtime).

A short remark on the Bayernliga Süd (Bavaria league south). It is one of the many fifth tier leagues. and due to the huge area the state of Bavaria has (and therefore the numbers of clubs), the 5 tier is split up in two regional leagues - north and south, basically as the Conference League in England with a more regional approach.

The offense is akin to how Basketball players are learned to run their offense. In basketball you run sets which focuses on creating an opportunity in a different area than where the ball is actually being held essentially cause and effect offense. Because football has become so strict on structural forms, like basketball it's easy to break down where help will come from or how the defense will react to something and then knowing how to get the ball there and the personel to excute said ideal.

It’s like letting the team play football instead of standing in predefined useless positions.

Be interested to see how they deal with a low block and how they make chances in those situations

Can anybody tell me what monitor he is using for the analysis portion please? I have been looking all over the place and can’t seem to find it

It's totally normal in Germany for coaches tp spend years in lower leagues because of how the coaching license system works. After getting the B+ license, you'll need at least 3 years of experiece as a head coach in lower leagues, head coach of a youth teams in higher leagues or as an assistant manager in the higher leagues before you can apply for the A license. Just look at other german coaches like Tuchel and Klopp. They all spend years as a youth coach or head coach in lower leagues before getting their first job in pro football.

After watching this, I completely understand the signing of mats Wieffer. He’s gonna be our 6 that moves forward to get us into that zone 14

Would have loved to see him try this against a David Moyes West Ham lol

Some St.Pauli love on the channel. Its great to see! Glad he is getting his chance on a bigger stage. Also excited to see Hartel play at a higher level, i reckon he has the skills to ste up well. Question, who in the current squad would you see filling the Hartel/Irvine roles?

I would worry about turnovers and who the hell is gonna play in that CB/6 role for Brighton. Webster?

First video of yours I’ve seen and really enjoyed it. Herzeler is going to be fun. My type of coach. Haven’t heard of someone inverting defenders to keep their double pivots as high 10s since Van Gaal did it with Ajax in the 90s, but that was double inverted wingbacks as the double pivot.

So which Brighton player is mostly likely to be his Marcel Hartel? Cos I need them in my fantasy team now

That's what gave us the championship and promotion last season! Sorry to have lost him but all the best to him and Brighton! He's a gem!

Our new manager at my team Torsten Fink also seems to play like this.

My best line up for this formation 1-Verbruggen 2- Hinshlewood 3- Estupinan 4- Van Hecke 5- Igor 6-Wieffer 7- Adingra 8- Gilmour 9- Joao Pedro 10- Ensciso 11- Mitoma

Hilariously in my West Ham FM save a few months ago I made a 3-4-3 with a Libero just for a laugh. I didn't realize it was a real tactic 😂😂

When a team is winning if they avoid interaction with the other team and just make a wall in front of the goal it's way easier to deffend, but sometimes it looks like pride gets in the way of it.

I'm a bit doubtful with that idea, I don't really see it really effective against a team used to defend close to their own box, and neither against a team used to do man on man defending (I know that there aren't teams used to it right now, but I'm thinking in something like a Bielsa team) But it's a team to watch anyways, it could be funny to see them progressing

If you stand behind the goal posts of the opposite team, off the field, and your goalkeeper boots it up and you run back in field. Does that defeat the offside rule? 😉✅

This is just called Relationism, he might change the areas he tries to overload depending on the players. For example in Fluimenense last season they focused on playing wide with creating an overload in the switch. (Opposite half space or wide space)
