Super Coach

17 years!

It’s been 17 years!

Yang Cheng will never forget that day 17 years ago when he traveled to the present world and became the coach of the second team of Chemnitz. At that time, he was only 23 years old and in the prime of his youth.

17 years have passed, and now he is a 40-year-old middle-aged man. His children are now 9 years old. He is no longer the high-spirited young man back then. Today, he is a mature and restrained middle-aged man. , he is no longer the unknown and arrogant boy back then, now he is the famous and world's number one coach.

It took him 17 years to realize a lifelong dream!

Time flies by like this, and everything that happened 17 years ago seems to have happened yesterday, as if separated by a layer of paper, but they are two completely different lives. This makes Yang Cheng's heart full of sadness and despair.

Because he is leaving!

He dedicated the most precious and golden 17 years of his life to his favorite football. For 17 years, he persisted and pursued his goals and dreams, even to the point where he could do this He said that he grew old in the company of football and chasing his dreams.

In the past 17 years, he has paid a lot and gained a lot. He has never carefully calculated whether it is worth it or whether it is a good deal, because the love in his heart cannot be calculated, and that kind of satisfaction There is no way to measure feelings with numbers. The only thing he can say is that he is very satisfied.

Being able to leave his beloved professional football with a sense of satisfaction, he really has no regrets!

But this does not mean that he will leave football completely, because he still has a dream, and he hopes to one day. Being able to lead a national team. On the big stage of the World Cup, you can win the coveted Hercules Cup.

Only by fulfilling this wish would he be willing to end his coaching career.

The stands at the Allianz Arena were lively today. Many people came, including players from the Chemnitz era, such as Louis Huth, Thomas, Dominik Wagner, Tossen Gujo, etc.; there were also players from the Kaiserslautern era. Larsson, Deco, Veron, Ballack, Flins and others are all here.

There are also the players from Inter Milan, Nedved, Lucio, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Zanetti, Emerson, Van Bommel, Pirlo, Nesta... and the same goes for the players from Liverpool. They are all here, Ribery, Robben, Gerrard, Drogba, Carrick, Essien, Vidic, Carragher...

Yang Cheng had previously sent an invitation letter to every former disciple.

This is not because he wants to show off, but because he sincerely hopes that people like them can be present in his last professional game, even if some of them no longer play football. But he still hopes to see them.

Sometimes, Yang Cheng's feeling was strange, he thought. It's a bit like those old people who are about to pass away. They all hope that their children and grandchildren can be by his side and let him take a look. This way he can leave with peace of mind.

Yang Cheng is undoubtedly not an old man who is about to die, but he feels that his current mentality is a bit close to that.

Even he himself found it inexplicable, but he just did it.

The whistle that ended the game became very heavy in Yang Cheng's ears.

Because this whistle not only ends this game, but also ends Yang Cheng's career.

He was originally thinking, what should he do when it ends? Do you want to thank the players? Do you want to thank the fans? Do you want to say hello to old friends, or do something else?

But in the end, he did nothing. He just sat on the coach's bench of the home team, silently, expressionless, and seemingly indifferent, looking at the court, the players, and listening to the deafening noise and movement of the fans. .

Time seemed to have frozen, as if at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a heavy burden that had been weighed on him for 17 years had been lifted from his heart and shoulders, and his whole person became relaxed. A lot.

Yes, he still has baggage in his heart because he still has pursuits, but at this moment, his entire mood has completely changed. What he sees, hears, and thinks is also different. .

He couldn't explain this feeling in words, but it really changed!

He has no regrets about the professional league. He has won all the honors, from the Cup Winners' Cup to the UEFA Cup to the European Champions Cup, from the Bundesliga to Serie A to the Premier League and La Liga. He has really won all the honors. No regrets!

But he also knows very well that the journey of his football career is just the end of a level, and he is only halfway through a hurdle. He has to move towards the next goal of his efforts.

When Yang Cheng took the UEFA Champions League medal from Olsen's hand, he hugged Olsen tightly, then turned to Beckenbauer next to Olsen, and said It's a tight hug.

During the whole process, Olsen and Beckenbauer patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder vigorously, but said nothing. It seemed that at this moment, anything to say would be very embarrassing, so they both chose To get rid of silence, to fight against sound with silence.

Caesar! Caesar! ! Caesar! ! !

All the fans in the audience shouted Yang Cheng's name in unison. This game belonged to Yang Cheng, but it was the last game of his career and the last battle before he left professional football.

In the stands of Real Madrid fans, the huge mosaic of Yang Cheng's portrait is still retained, as is his huge personal logo, which has not been destroyed because all the fans always wear that hat. Even now that the game has ended for a long time, they still haven't taken it off.

For them, this game is very different. This is a game that they do not want to end on time. In the minds of many people, they even hope that this game can continue to be played forever. They hope this is a game that never ends. Because only in this way can Yang Cheng stay forever.

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!

After receiving the medal. Yang Cheng walked off the podium and did not stay on the stage because it was a place for players. Next, everyone will pay attention to the player who holds the trophy, and he only needs to watch silently from the audience, that is enough.

Casillas won the Saint-Bloid Cup. This is the fourth time that Real Madrid has won this championship trophy in the past four years. This also makes Real Madrid the third in this brand-new trophy. The name of the team means that as long as Real Madrid wins it twice more. You can once again keep the St. Petersburg Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium forever.

But all this has nothing to do with Yang Cheng, because this is the goal Raul will work hard for next.

Holding the medal tightly in his hand, he stood there upright. I believe that countless people will be disappointed by this. Because there is no sadness of farewell at all, and there are no tears from anyone.

From beginning to end. Yang Chengdu behaved very calmly and rationally, which was completely different from when he said goodbye to the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium. This was obviously not because the fans at the Allianz Arena did not support him, but because he was too restrained.

Slowly walked back to the home team's coaching bench, walked to his seat, bent down and sat in, pressing his back against the backrest behind him, listening to the roar of the mountain and the tsunami coming from his ears, he was already distracted. I don't know what it is and what it is.

He finally has to leave the position he has worked for for 17 years!

Is he awake?

Drowsily, Yang Cheng seemed to hear someone asking.

No, I'm sleeping soundly. I guess I'll have to sleep for a while longer! Judging from the voice, this sentence should be said by Charlize Theron.

After leaving the Allianz Arena last night, I fell asleep as soon as I came back. It's already past 9 o'clock and I haven't gotten up yet. Are you too lazy? It sounds like this should be Sienna Miller. It sounds like Very envious and jealous.

His nerves were tense at first, but now that a big burden has been lifted off him, he feels much more relaxed, and his sleep is naturally much sweeter. If I'm not mistaken, he shouldn't have been talking in his sleep last night, right? This should be Natalie's voice.

Then I heard Charlize Theron reply with a chuckle, and then started to change the subject. It was as if Yang Cheng talking in his sleep had become a very interesting topic of discussion for them, and even that one didn't have any Experienced clinical psychologists conducted psychological analysis on sleep talking, making Yang Cheng seem like a guinea pig in their laboratory.

There is a saying that is right, think about it every day and dream about it at night.

The scariest time was when I heard that Yang Cheng was talking non-stop during a tactical preparation meeting one night, and Melissa Terrio recorded it and showed it to Yang Cheng the next day. Damn, Yang Cheng was sleeping. On the contrary, I performed better than when I didn't sleep, I was more prepared, and every detail was considered.

Listening to the voices of Yingying Yanyan outside, Yang Cheng, who was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, smiled slightly. He didn't know how to describe his current feeling and mood. It was a very strange mental state.

The reluctance was something that happened last night. When he got up this morning, he didn't feel the slightest bit reluctant because he knew very well that everything had become a foregone conclusion. For him, last night's game, Real Madrid, Even the past is in the past.

It's really terrible to say that in the past two years, he has been running between the German national team and Real Madrid. Now he is a little more relaxed. His whole person seems to have changed, and his thinking has become much more flexible.

You're awake! Charlize Theron opened the door and came in. Seeing Yang Cheng half lying on the bed in a daze, he came over with a smile.

They just left and went to eat! she said.

Not talking about eating, Yang Cheng didn't feel hungry at all.

The beauty is wearing a loose maternity dress. Not to mention, she is extremely beautiful and has a good figure. She looks good in anything she wears. Even with a big belly, she has a charming aura, especially the look on her face. A maternal radiance.

We are ready to stay in Europe! Charlize Theron is packing things, because they will soon leave the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Yang Cheng will lead the team back to Madrid. After that, all his responsibilities in Real Madrid will be completed. it's over.

Strictly speaking, after last night's game, his contract with Real Madrid can be said to have ended. After that, he will serve as the technical director of Real Madrid with a false title. Earning a decent salary. But he no longer needs to be too involved in Real Madrid's affairs.

Next, the real test for him will be in the European Cup with the German national team!

Ready to watch the European Cup? Yang Cheng got out of bed. He didn't mind being exposed in front of Charlize Theron and walked directly into the shower room, while the beauty arranged clean clothes for him. Send it outside the shower room.

We're going to cheer for you, so you have to prepare some tickets for us!

Wow, aren't the reporters at the European Cup going to be very busy? Yang Cheng said in mock surprise.

Of course Charlize Theron knew what he meant and glanced at him with a giggle, Who cares about those paparazzi?

In fact, they only care about Yang Cheng, but they don't care about his grades, but about him as a person.

The human state is very strange, with ups and downs, highs and lows. And Yang Cheng himself has a feeling that in the past two seasons, he has performed very well coaching Real Madrid. But he always felt that it was not happy enough. It seemed like there was something blocking him, preventing him from exerting himself. I am helpless and depressed.

This made him feel like he was holding back a lot of anger, as if he was looking for an opportunity to explode.

After so many years of coaching career, he knows very well that his state is about to come, and he only needs an opportunity for this state to burst out comprehensively and unscrupulously.

Don't think that only the players are in shape, in fact the head coach is also in shape.

When I'm in a good state, my brain is very flexible. When I'm in a bad state, I always miss things and make many mistakes.

Yang Cheng himself knows it well. In the last two years of coaching Real Madrid, he also made mistakes, but he just used Real Madrid's own strong strength to cover them up. If he was in good condition, these mistakes could be avoided.

I'll have them deliver it when the time comes! Yang Cheng promised inside.

Do you want me to accompany you to the training camp? Charlize Theron asked with concern.

Yang Cheng really wanted to, but decided to forget it, No, it's very cold over there in Tignes. Don't go there and take good care of yourself.

I'm not the kind of woman who can't help being frail, but since you said no, I won't go. I'll go walk around and travel for a while. I plan to go to Lake Steinberg to live for a while.

Yang Cheng has a house there. Charlize Theron has not lived there yet. She heard that the environment and climate there are great, so she wants to stay there for a while. When the European Cup starts, she will go directly to Ukraine. and Poland.

Let your mother accompany you? Yang Cheng said.

Charlize Theron smiled and said, No, I have company!

Who is it? Yang Cheng was surprised, and then seeing her triumphant posture, he deliberately added, Male or female?

There are both men and women! She nodded with a smile.

I'm so proud, but it's okay. I'm pregnant. Just be careful and don't go too far! Yang Cheng said.

With the wisdom of the South African goddess, she couldn't hear the subtext of this evil-minded guy's words, so she deliberately ignored him. Anyway, she just didn't tell him who it was and let him guess. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to guess who it was.

Yang Cheng is a person who likes to have a beginning and an end when doing things, so he led the team to the Allianz Arena to participate in the Champions League final. After the game, he led the team back to Madrid from Munich.

Outside Madrid Airport, countless Real Madrid fans gathered here to wait for the team's arrival. Although they already knew that Yang Cheng's departure was inevitable, they still hoped to make a final effort, but there were also many fans. A slogan was posted to bless Yang Cheng and hope that he could achieve greater success in the German national team.

As usual, the team boarded an uncovered bus and held a parade around the city in Madrid to celebrate their championship. However, Yang Cheng once again missed the team's parade celebrations around the city. He went directly to At the Bernabeu Stadium, I met with Florentino, Piri and Butragueno, and also participated in this meeting with Raul.

During this meeting, Yang Cheng expressed his gratitude to Florentino and other management. He also said that he had completed his historical mission in Real Madrid and it was time to hand over Real Madrid to Real Madrid's own people. , and he is convinced that Raul will be able to fulfill his mission of continuing to lead Real Madrid.

Florentino expressed regret for Yang Cheng's decision, but he also wished Yang Cheng a bright future in the German national team. At the same time, he also said that the door of the Bernabeu will always be open for Yang Cheng.

After that, the two parties discussed opportunities for further cooperation. After all, although Yang Cheng's image rights are now in his own hands, Real Madrid also has the agency rights, so the cooperation between the two parties will not end because of Yang Cheng's departure. On the contrary, Florentino expressed the hope of further and in-depth cooperation.

After the farewell party at the Bernabeu, Yang Cheng returned to his home in La Finca and packed his things.

Klose, the main forward of the German national team, also packed his things immediately after the team's parade around the city and met Yang Cheng at the Madrid airport.

For them, the glory of Real Madrid has become a thing of the past, and everything about Real Madrid can be temporarily put on hold, because the next biggest test for them will come from the European Cup, and this event is the brand new competition they will face next. Challenge, especially when you think about it, the first game of the European Cup will be against Spain with Real Madrid as the main team. No one can relax.

It is also for this reason that not only Yang Cheng and Klose, but also the Bayern internationals who just lost the Champions League will also go to the training camp in Tignes, France today to participate in the national team training and prepare for the game. matches for the upcoming European Cup.
