Tactical Analysis: Werder Bremen v. Hertha Berlin

Werder Bremen needs to switch to a three-man back. You have to understand that I abhor the three-man back, typically; however, in the case of Thomas Schaaf's squad it might be a boon. Schaaf epitomizes the defensive-player turned attack-minded trainer, possibly more than anyone in the history of the sport. One of his tactics is to push his fullback forward as modified wing-backs, which results in one or both moving forward anytime Werder attacks (which is often).
