Tactical Identity
3-5-2High PressAlt: 4-2-3-1In poss: 4-3-3 Attacking or 4-4-2 double-6 depending on the opponent — Avdullahu and Burger controlling the middle, with Asllani and Touré making runs in behind from wide positions.Out of poss: Aggressive high press with a 4-3-3 structure, immediate ball recovery after losses; drops to a solid 4-4-2 mid-block against deep teams.

Attacking, pressing, technically sophisticated. Ilzer (Austrian, ex-Sturm Graz) brings high-energy press. Fisnik Asllani and Bazoumana Touré the dangerous attackers. Surprisingly 5th in the table.

Pellegrino Matarazzo replaced by Christian Ilzer for 2025-26. TSG shocking the Bundesliga — 5th place, UCL race. Bazoumana Touré (20, €35m) and Fisnik Asllani (23, €30m) outstanding. Leon Avdullahu and Wouter Burger dominant DM pairing. Kramarić used in AM role. Tom Bischof sold to Bayern. Young and exciting.
