This Young American's Bizarre Tactics Broke 2. Bundesliga 

Yes kid😂

Me. I knew Tony would bring a manager out of nowhere 🤣🤣

​@@r98replight27"out of nowhere"

He got the job!

yup

Hurzeler is from Fayetteville confirmed.

@@ItsCalledSoccer brother he moved to Germany when he was 2

​@@ItsCalledSoccerI'm sorry but this is why people dislike Americans

I don't think it's Americans as a whole, I think it's just youtubers and websites trying to farm some clicks by throwing in the fact that he was born in the US.

@@SDKThe8God I was making a joke about J Cole...

No wonder he’s set to become their manager according to Fabrizio

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for adding to St Pauli lore!

how can you not remember when St Pauli was in the 1. Bundesliga and Almeida made 3 goals and then got a red card? :D legendary in a good but also horrible way of him. also the special friendship between werder and pauli. i am surprised you werent aware of them earlier.. however, totally agree with jojo. happy to see him shine.

What really surprised me was how many attackers they have crashing the box on each possession.

@@ItsCalledSoccerIt has it’s similarities to what Henrik Rydström does in Malmö FF too. Very very fluid and full of overloads. Inspiration from Fernando Diniz but with a European touch I guess. You should make a video about them too :)

Much love as always my guy. Thank you!

Add it to the list. It's getting long for us US fans!

I dont like the political identify this club has though. The fan base makes a very big deal out of it.

venice bottled automatic promotion 😢

@@WyldStallion-bs9oo Because it's part of the clubs identity.

@@WyldStallion-bs9oo The political identity is very open minded and left to support everyone stop hate and against far right parties in germany. If you dont support that go fuck yourself

Arteta is inching closer to relationism tbf

Thanks so much for this comment. Maybe a topic for future video.

Is this like Ange Postecoglou? He seems to have players all over the place doing whatever.

@@lukethmpsn A lot of managers use the themes of it. Ten Hag with Dalot making straight runs through defenses, Ange having Porro and Udogie making underlapping runs or late box crashes by Romero. Teams I mentioned base their entire attacks around it. Slow methodical buildup play that will randomly spring up 5/6 nearby players to overload a flank, leading to some fun combinations

Wow thanks!

I watched that one for researching this video. Was awesome to learn more about St Pauli in the process.

@@ItsCalledSoccer Those videos are all amazing. I credit the Superclásico one for getting me seriously invested in club football when up to that point I found international football more interesting.

Love that you picked out that detail. I really want to get away from categorizing things incorrectly especially high press vs counterpress.

Really because Fabian himself and citizenship would say differently

@@ItsCalledSoccer Only because he was born there, but he has no real (or deep) connection to the US as he moved to Germany at the age of 2. His parents are German and Swiss so you could even argue, that he's more Swiss than he's even American :D

@@ItsCalledSoccerhe was born there so what? He had Swiss and German parents who were working in America, he has a German last name

@@ItsCalledSoccer Son of a german and a swiss who basically lived his whole life in Germany and sees himself as a Bavarian

Was awesome they did that but yeah we’ll see. They seem to be a club of high character.

Awesome, thank you!

Yes! Thank you!

Agree. Their squad probably won’t completely turn over and the Bundesliga has some very good transition teams.

Honestly crazy because I mentioned how he has his defenders stand on the ball like De Zerbi’s Brighton.

@@ItsCalledSoccer As soon as I heard the links I searched him up. Came straight to your video which was class! But yeah I when you mentioned him I was like this is a good link.

Then you just need to get out more

Hard to relate every time he says “Two Bundesliga”.

He is German. German father swiss mother lifed only 2 years in USA. Can't even speak good english

Exactly right. Vancouver's coaching staff has always done a good job of making players believe in the formation and strategies they use. Always an underdog, unfortunately, based on personnel. But I feel they're getting closer to challenging for a championship than they've ever been before.

If it makes you feel better this video has about 90k views without Brighton so people definitely cared. Brighton just gave it a little bump.

Cheers! Maybe in the future or in my newsletter. Mostly because it’s hard to use footage on RU-vid without getting striked

Glad you enjoy it!

Love that for him. Hate that for St Pauli. He’ll do great.

@@ItsCalledSoccer It is a brutal game. At least it happened after the season had finished - not like what happened to Brighton when Potter left to manage Chelsea after five games into the season.

Same same

Noted!

both hürzeler and xabi alonso are inspired by brighton and even stuttgarts coach is adapting de zerbi's style of playing football. wouldnt be surprised if st pauli will finish in the top 10 next season

Absolutely similar although talent-wise the squad has some room to grow. As Fussballprophet said, a lot of it looks similar to De Zerbi’s Brighton and baiting out the press with your possession.

Well said

@@ItsCalledSoccer my bad for calling it football btw 😂

@@fussballprophet how dare you

He was actually next on the list and part of the research for this was other young managers across the world.

@@ItsCalledSoccer Amazing! It's an exciting time to be a MNUFC supporter.

That's a great idea!

Use your brain slowpoke. It’s for *VIEWS*

Sometimes it takes doing things differently

And my favorite team is my hometown team, the Columbus Crew, and I see you just did a video on them too. Subscribed, and off to watch that one next.

Thanks for sharing!

I think any team in any league would be happy with that

Chelsea under Mourinho first spell. won the league conceding only 15 goals though

Cheers thank you! As much as some don’t like it, we are one people and I enjoy how “small” the world is getting.

I don't think this is exactly Total Football. I think it's a mix of the new relationism from Diniz and Total Football.

Would love to see that. I think they’re going to surprise some people next season.

Enlighten me then

Danke

Whaaaaaat?! Thanks so much Douglas I really appreciate that.

The Set Piece stuff is making me more excited then ever. And the fact he's willing to adapt into a defensive shape.

Thanks Shane!

Actually not wrong

I like the thought that modern basketball and football are sharing ideas

You're welcome Tony and all BHA fans. I visited Brighton last year, lovely town with positively weird people.

Yurrrrr

He got his football education in Germany playing at various academies. How he identifies is beside the point, the implication being made is that the US youth/coaching/FA system has something to do with his success and they just don't - the US' version of the FA is a collection of mediocrities mired in nepotism and nearly all of their decent players only got that way playing in Europe. A big part of the reason it is that way is the yanks' inability to acknowledge that they aren't good at something, therefore nothing changes, and claiming a coach whose biggest connection with the US is that his parents pulled some teeth there and went back on vacation a few times is a symptom of that silly view. He's no more American than Balogun.

He has american citizienship only because he was born there. He lived there until he was 2 and then his family returned to Germany. Calling him american in the title is just clickbait and americans being proud of him has the same feeling as those heritage weirdos suddenly being proud of Ireland because they are 12% Irish. As the commenter above already said he got all of his education in Germany and has nothing to do with the american FA, their ways or the country in general.

​​@@paulie-gBalogun or Yunus Musah... Even the proper Americans we have on the NT many of the good ones spent developmental years in Europe. Not to mention the ones like Dest, Jedi, & CCV. Tyler Adams, Tim Ream, and Tyler Turner are the only proper American products in the current XI to make it to the top 5 leagues. (No time spent developing abroad 0-18)

@@rq7284 .. and Tim Ream isn't good enough to play in the PL, liability and an accident waiting to happen every time I've seen him for Fulham (although I don't watch them that often).

It’s for views.

Being born in the US makes you a citizen. My parents are both German and I was born in the US. I have both passports, because both countries define citizenship in a radically different way: US: you're born here, you're an American - no matter who you're parents are! Germany: your parents are German, you're a German - no matter where on earth you're born!

Then how did he play for US youth national team

@@starwarssatan5588because he was too bad to play for Germany and Swiss and if you have the chance for these kind of moments you take it. I would play for Tuvalu if the asked me

With a name like Fabian Hürzeler how could he possibly not be American?

@@willcroft1348 I guess that’s sarcasm?

I think total football is not quite right. It’s a mix of that and a more modern interpretation called relationism. When I said I hadn’t seen a more connected team in 20 years I wasn’t talking about the tactic, I was talking about the team chemistry.

You think USSF could ever do something smart?!

Never say never but probably because he doesn’t have a connection to the USA because he ain’t really an American

Those are St Pauli fans

@@ItsCalledSoccer I meant for "Most known club in the german second league."

@@lisaruhm6681 Schalke isn't really known for being in the second league

@@loyalm2468 but is the most known club, that is currently in the 2nd league, and the club with the most games in the 2nd league is Fürth.

@@lisaruhm6681 Definitely in Germany internationally that's debatable.

Is not in the Bundesliga

Hopefully more of us will be following now!
