Mainz football
In public, Mainz football is often associated with heart, enthusiasm, passion and emotions. The football training in the youth performance center is based on the concept of Wolfgang Frank , who between 1995 and 2000 was the professional coach of the 2nd Bundesliga with a short interruption . Frank was one of the first coaches in Germany to use a four-man defensive chain, which revolutionized football in the state capital. This was continued and refined by Jürgen Klopp , who as coach of the professionals between 2001 and 2008 supplemented the game idea with terms such as “ball-oriented defense behavior” and “pressing”. Thomas Tuchel expanded Mainz football between 2009 and 2014 with elements such as forward defense, counter-pressing and ball possession football.
