Tactical Identity
3-4-2-1High PressAlt: 3-5-2In poss: 3-4-2-1 with Grimaldo pushing to a very high left wingback position, the two #10s (Maza/Tillman) roaming freely in the half-spaces behind Schick.Out of poss: Compact 5-4-1 mid-block with the wing-backs tucking in, occasionally shifting to a higher press that triggers from the striker.
Possession-oriented, high press, fluid positional rotations. Granit Xhaka as the midfield anchor. Wide attacking play through Grimaldo. Rebuilding after losing Wirtz, Frimpong, and Tah.
Kasper Hjulmand took over in September 2025 after ten Hag was sacked after just 2 games. Wirtz sold (likely Real Madrid), Frimpong gone, Tah to Bayern — complete reconstruction. New generation led by Ibrahim Maza, Malik Tillman, Christian Kofane. Xhaka and Grimaldo the experienced core. UCL still the target but form dipped badly.
