Hainauer was chosen to be the '1' in the number 10 position.
As for the '1' at the very front, that was Wang Shuo.
Anyone could see that this was a tactic Klopp had tailor-made for the current Mainz team.
The two '1's up front were given immense creative freedom on the attack.
But in return, they also had to shoulder more defensive responsibilities.
This was especially true for Wang Shuo, who led the line.
The new signings were all clearly surprised by this tactical arrangement.
'Could a kid who isn't even eighteen yet really handle such a heavy burden?'
Bancé asked himself honestly; if he were the one playing that advanced forward position, the pressure would be immense.
'At 1.92 meters and 90 kilograms, could I even do that much running?'
Only those familiar with Mainz and with Wang Shuo knew that Klopp had tailor-made this role for him.
The role existed in this tactical setup only because they had Wang Shuo first!
