Grammozis: way more important than the system

Three games, three victories, eight hits, zero goals: Many are surprised that Jahn Regensburg is at the top - I'm not, says Dimitrios Grammozis and explains the success of the nearest Schalke opponent with the upposition. And the coach is not just about Regensburg: Everyone who stands straight up have a well-rehearsed trunk. At least seven points are currently Dresden, St. Pauli and Karlsruhe.

To be recorded is a special advantage for Grammozis. The more surprising appears in retrospect that he was most recently at the disappointing 1: 1 in the home game against Erzgebirge Aue from his weeks rehearsed system and for only two intensive training units the four-chain preferred. It may have brought the royal blue an additional power in the midfield, on the other hand, the formation shortcut went to the loads of important automatisms. It is now important in the early stage of the season but eminently important to work on them - this is especially true for a completely renewed eleven like those of the Gelsenkirchener.

Other distances, other game construction

At this point Grammozis defends his tactical change with the argument that the system question is irrelevant and it is more about the way . The way, however, is influenced by whether one feels more unusually safe with something so far. Center-back Malick Thiaw explained the difference between threesome and four-circles on Thursday at the press conference before the game at Jahn Regensburg (Saturday, 1:30 pm, live! At Gold Cup), among other things, that the distances are others and also the game structure works differently .

Whether Schalke returns to the trolley leaders to the triple chain, Grammozi's open - as well as if Neuzendang Darko Churlinov also Ko Iturka is already one of the squad. While Grammozis talked about the next game on Thursday, Japan's Olympia participants just completed the medical check. The central defender is borrowed for a year of Manchester City.

Was it with access? On Gold Cupmand Grammozis said: As long as the transfer window is open, you always look around. In principle, however, he was very satisfied with the booth and associated with a great praise for the sports director: Rouven Schröder makes a great job. We swap several times a day and see many things the same.

Four big earners should go

As far as departures is concerned, however, something should arise, especially at the four large earners Ozan Kabak, Omar Mascarell, Amine Harit and Matija Nastasic. There may also be a separation of Matthew Hoppe - if the transfer is correspondingly high. The American has aroused the Americans in the international market by winning the Gold Cup with the USA anyway.

Whether Hoppe against Regensburg can stand for the first time this season in the squad of the scarce, meanwhile, it is open. After participating in the Gold Cup, the striker exposed a gastrointestinal infection, he rose until this Thursday into the team training.
