Hannover 96 have been in the news in Germany for many different reasons over the last couple of years.
Investor Kind attempted to undermine the 50+1 rule in German football, but the fans strongly opposed this move and began boycotting the club.
Since their relegation in 2019, the club has failed to secure promotion back to the Bundesliga every single season.
This term, the club actively wants to pursue more than just being close to success.
They have actively worked the market, signing 16 new players for the money they got for selling their talented striker Nicolò Tresoldi to Club Brugge.
But they didn’t just overhaul their squad randomly; they did it with a clear purpose in mind.
The most important signing the club made this summer transfer window was their new head coach, Christian Titz.
Titz had been the manager of 1. FC Magedburg for 4.5 years and got them promoted from 3. Liga to the 2. Bundesliga.
Last season, they managed to finish fifth in a highly competitive league, ahead of Hannover 96.
The experienced coach did not just have a lot of success with Magedeburg, he also has a clear style of approaching the game, centred around possession, positional ‘rochades’ and a lot of passes.
In this tactical analysis, we will take a look at how Christian Titz managed his Magdeburg side, what we can expect him to bring to his new club and how Hannover 96 will approach the new season.
Lucas Cepeda, a 22-year-old left winger from Chile, has been one of the most remarkable breakthroughs in the Primera División this season.
His impact at Colo-Colo, along with his appearances for youth national teams, positions him as a player ready to take a competitive leap in the short term.
But beyond measurable performance, Cepeda’s unique style of play distinguishes him: he doesn’t fit the classic dribbling winger model but rather acts as an external organiser throughout multiple phases of play.
This analysis breaks down his most representative patterns on and off the ball across various stages of the offensive and defensive cycle.
