Super Coach

The Alps, covering northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany and Slovenia, are the most famous mountain ranges in southern Europe, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, especially the Mont Blanc area, which has the highest altitude. 4810 meters.

Tignes is a famous ski town at the foot of the Alps. With an altitude of over 3,600 meters, it is an ideal ski resort. The busiest season is from December to April, and now it is in the off-season.

Yang Cheng and Klose took a flight from Madrid to Geneva Airport, and then took a high-speed train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice in France. When they arrived, Bierhoff arranged for the driver to take the train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Stand to pick them up.

Riding in this Audi, surrounded by mountains, driving quickly on this winding road that was not spacious, Yang Cheng could deeply feel the magnificence and danger of the Alps through the car window.

The higher the altitude, the greater the body's altitude sickness, which is what Yang Cheng is more worried about.

How has the training been in the past few days? Yang Cheng asked the driver sitting in the front row.

The driver drove the car without looking back, The situation is not bad! He didn't know the specific details.

Is anyone suffering from altitude sickness? Yang Cheng asked again.

I haven't heard of it! the driver replied.

At this moment, he could finally feel relieved and just close his eyes and have a good rest. After all, he had been riding in the car for several hours. To say he was not tired would be a bit false.

Klose was sitting next to Yang Cheng, always tilting his head and looking outside. The snow-capped peaks of the Alps in the distance looked unattainable. People couldn't help but wonder in front of this spectacular scenery of nature. Ashamed of oneself. I deeply feel how small and insignificant human beings are.

What's wrong? Yang Cheng noticed Klose's melancholy look,

asked concerned.

Nothing! Klose smiled slightly, but a little reluctantly.

Yang Cheng is no one else. Klose's every move could not be hidden from him, and he quickly realized Klose's worries. If the German forward is really troubled, it must be his positioning in Real Madrid.

After joining Real Madrid, Yang Cheng has always positioned Klose as the third forward and the team's changer, and Klose's performance has always been very good. As long as he plays, he can show his strength, but now that Raul has come up, he obviously wants to promote young players in the second team, such as Morata.

The fact that Morata can be ranked among the Five Eagles is enough for people to see his talent and strength. The most important thing is that he is the kind of high forward that Real Madrid lacks. His performance in the second team is very good. Outstanding and eye-catching, his performance in the lower age groups of the national team is also very admirable. So it was natural for Raul to promote him.

But once Morata comes up, Klose's position will become even more embarrassing.

For now. Neither Raul nor Real Madrid gave any indication to Klose, nor did they say that he wanted to sell him. However, Klose himself is also aware of the problem, that is, once Raul comes up, his status in Real Madrid will continue to improve. Downhill.

Does any team want you? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Klose was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled. He also knew that these things must not be hidden from Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng had his own set of information channels, and he would definitely be able to vaguely guess something. What's more, he didn't think about hiding it and nodded, Yes, Lazio in Serie A wants me to play for them.

Lazio? Yang Cheng was a little surprised, since he left Serie A. This name has become a bit unfamiliar to him, because his brain is limited and his energy is limited, and it is impossible to pay attention to everything.

They have just completed a coaching change this season. The old coach Rhea is leaving, and the new coach Petkovic will officially take charge of Lazio. He hopes that I can transfer to Lazio to strengthen the team's forward attack. Listening to the tone, Ke Luo Ze seemed a little moved.

He will be 34 years old soon. Even though he has received so many honors in Real Madrid, he is not very satisfied because he is still preparing to participate in the World Cup, so he must get more game opportunities and time to ensure that His own state, which Real Madrid cannot give him, but Lazio can.

Does Raoul know? Yang Cheng asked.

Klose shook his head, I haven't decided yet, but I plan to have a good talk with him after the European Cup.

Well, if you need anything, just tell me! Yang Cheng smiled. No matter what, I support your decision. I also believe that you still have a chance to appear on the 2014 roster.

After hearing this, Klose couldn't help but laugh, Is this a guaranteed guarantee?

Yang Cheng shook his head, Of course not, I just said there is a chance!

By the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Klose is already 36 years old. Whether he can still maintain a good competitive state by then is something that no one can guarantee. However, Yang Cheng is also very aware that on the striker, , the German team actually does not have much talent emerging.

Thomas? Muller is an excellent and calm scorer, but he is not the kind who can stand at the front. Even at Bayern, Pellegrini always uses him from behind. He needs a player in front to help him. He draws the attention of defenders.

Gomez has excellent abilities, but his technical characteristics are really different from the current German team.

This player is tall and strong, but he is not a standing forward. He is very fast and very powerful in counterattacks. He can grab points and seize opportunities. He has a very good sense of shooting. But the problem is that his stopping ability is very good. Qiu and Dingqiu are really a bit sorry for his current identity and status.

At Bayern, in order to bring out Gomez's strength, Pellegrini used two wings to tear apart the opponent's defense, draw the defensive attention, and then send the ball into the penalty area. Gomez Si needs space to get the ball, and he cannot do what Ibrahimovic does to get rid of the ball in a small space, so he can only try every means to create space for him so that he can comfortably get the ball and Kick off.

But in the German national team, in order to take care of Gomez alone, the entire team made such arrangements around him. Yang Cheng felt it was not a good deal because he also had Klose.

From a physical perspective, Klose was completely beaten by Gomez, but from a mental and technical perspective. Klose completely defeated Gomez, and in Yang Cheng's technical and tactical system, consciousness is always put first.

Of course, Yang Cheng definitely did not mean to belittle Gomez. The striker is excellent, but he is just not suitable for the current German national team.

Leaving aside Klose and Gomez, the current German national team is on the front line. There is indeed a shortage of talents. This is an indisputable fact. Even Yang Cheng himself is thinking about how to solve this problem.

…………

We're here! the driver shouted from the front.

Yang Cheng, who had squinted his eyes for a while, immediately opened his eyes. He sat up straight from his seat and saw a lake in the distance. In the distance was a modern town with many tall buildings. Built around a lake, behind the town are snow-capped mountains, with woods and bald rocks visible below. But when we reached the top of the mountain, it was all a white world.

What a beautiful place! Yang Cheng couldn't help but praise, We have to thank France. They guarded the Clairefontaine training camp and gave us this good place!

Audi quickly crossed the lake and entered the town, but as soon as he entered the town, he turned into a hotel built next to the lake.

Hotel Lecland du Val-le-Clare is a wooden building hotel with a unique style and unique flavor. The gates and pillars are made of directly quarried and unprocessed stones. They look rough and beautiful, but give people a very solid feeling.

As soon as the car stopped, Yang Cheng got out of the car and saw a gust of cold air hitting his face. It made people want to shiver, but it was very comfortable, and the whole person was refreshed, and the original sleepiness was gone.

Yang Cheng took a few deep breaths of the cold air. It was very clean, without the impurities in the city.

Have you prepared any winter clothes to keep out the cold? Paul Bayer walked out of the hotel with a smile. Beside him, Benitez, Tim Hank and others also followed. They were just in the hotel. When I saw Yang Cheng's car arriving upstairs, I walked down.

I'm ready, but I don't know if it's enough! Yang Cheng walked up with a smile and hugged the group of assistants.

Come, let me take you to your room first. The best double room in this hotel has been reserved for you. Now it seems like it was wasted! Tim Hank said jokingly.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, Then don't waste it. Find me a companion tonight!

Really? Chris Schmidt asked with a smile, as if he really had a way.

Yang Cheng nodded, Really, but I'm very demanding!

That's nothing. You're used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world. Who can fall in your eyes? Chris shook his head helplessly, and his words were not completely free of the sour jealousy.

A group of people jokingly walked into the hotel, and Paul Bayer introduced the hotel's facilities along the way.

Even though this hotel is a wooden building, it has everything it needs, such as sauna, tennis court, gym, golf course, SPA center, hot-water swimming pool, library, indoor swimming pool, etc. This is Tignes. The best hotels have very complete facilities.

Has everyone else arrived? Yang Cheng asked as he climbed the stairs.

Everyone is here! Paul Bayer replied.

So how's your training going these days?

Paul Bayer nodded, Don't worry, everything is going smoothly.

Chris Schmidt on the side also added: We have given all training players, except Klose, a series of physical tests, and we will start preparing to enter the final physical reserve stage.

Yang Cheng didn't say anything. When he went upstairs, he saw Bastian Schweinsteiger and other Bayern players who had arrived at the hotel this morning. Although Yang Cheng's team had just defeated Bayern at the Allianz Arena last night, they would not do it again today. When they met, they became a master-disciple relationship, and Schweinsteiger took the initiative to greet Yang Cheng politely.

I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first. After dinner in the evening, we'll have a meeting and talk slowly! After saying that, Yang Cheng walked into his room, turned around and saw off his assistants, and then locked the door. .

Although it is a wooden house, the rooms look elegant and comfortable. No wonder it is rated as a four-star hotel and is the best hotel in Tignes, because it attracts the largest number of ski enthusiasts in the world.

From Yang Cheng's room, you can see the back of the hotel. That area is known as the most beautiful ski resort in the world. There is a cable car there that can directly lead to higher ski areas, and that area will become the focus area for the German national team's next training.

Before Yang Cheng's arrival, the German team had only been conducting low-level intensity training, but starting from tomorrow, they will face a round of hellish training. We hope that each of them can appear in the European Cup with sufficient physical fitness and a good mental outlook.

…………

The team's dinner in Tignes was a buffet style.

Because the hotel is not large and has been booked by the German national team, all the people living here are the family members of the national team players and the coaching staff. There are no outsiders at all, so everyone gathers in the hotel. Eat in the lobby.

After Yang Cheng walked into the lobby. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, because to the family members of many people present, Yang Cheng was more of a name they had only heard of. But they may not have seen celebrities in person, or looked at them so closely, so many of them are even excited to see their idols.

In this case, the atmosphere at the scene can be imagined.

Yang Cheng looked around the crowd and found that they were all here, so he didn't say anything. Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, he slowly walked over, took something to eat, and then found a comparison Sit down in a remote corner.

Gradually. Everyone began to get used to Yang Cheng's presence, and the atmosphere gradually picked up again.

How do you feel about leaving professional football? Benitez, a fat man, sat opposite Yang Cheng with a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked concerned, but in fact he had a gossipy face.

Yang Cheng let go of the food in his hand. He raised his head, looked at the fat man, and smiled slightly, There's nothing different, it's just a change of environment and a different approach. Do you think the national team is very different from the professional club?

Benitez didn't say anything, and said calmly, The national team is even more cruel!

Yang Cheng was stunned, yes, the national team is even more cruel.

Take the European Cup as an example. There are three games in the group stage. Losing one would be the end of the world. Especially in a group of death like Germany, you must try your best to win the opponent. If you fail, you must ensure not to lose. If you lose, , that would be really bad, and it can almost be said that qualifying is slim.

After finally getting past the group stage and entering the knockout rounds, it was a decisive battle.

This kind of knockout match that determines life and death can be said that every game is a final, and you must go all out in every game. Moreover, this kind of game involves a lot of luck and chance. This is a problem for any team or any head coach. The great fatal test.

Therefore, Benitez is right. If the club's league, or even the two-round cup competition, can give the head coach a chance to make mistakes and make amends, then the national team's competition system almost does not give it. Any chance you have to make up for it, you must defeat your opponent within 90 minutes, or be defeated by your opponent!

This is a very cruel competition system, but precisely because of its cruelty, it is more challenging and exciting.

Especially for people like Yang Cheng, who are full of adventurous genes, they are even more keen to accept such challenges.

It's better to be cruel, it's interesting to be cruel! Yang Cheng started to lower his head to eat again, but suddenly asked, Are you afraid?

Benitez smiled, I'm just a wage earner. I'm your assistant. If you win, it's none of my business. If you lose, it has nothing to do with me. What should I be afraid of? He looked like it was none of his business. , hanging high.

Yang Cheng knew his partner, and he knew Benitez was not this kind of person, so he just smiled and said nothing.

After eating, the family members left. Everyone on the team went to a conference room in the hotel to gather. This conference room was temporarily transformed into a locker room by the team. Everyone entered and put their They sat down on the wooden chairs on the surrounding walls, and their things could be vaguely seen under the chairs.

I believe everyone should know clearly the significance of my appearance here! Yang Cheng's opening remarks seemed very serious.

I also believe that everyone should know very well that what awaits you next will be the most difficult period of training and competition.

“We were lucky enough to be drawn into the group of death in the group stage. We faced teams from Spain, Portugal and France. Relatively speaking, we didn’t have much advantage over them. Even facing Spain, we were at a comprehensive disadvantage. , But, this does not mean that we have no chance to defeat Spain and other opponents!

I always believe that this world is fair. If you want to get more, you have to pay first. Once you pay, you will get corresponding rewards. So I hope you will all be very clear from now on. Remember, my goal is to win the championship, and our team will always fight for the championship!”

And your hard training today and every day in the future, every hard work you endure, every drop of sweat you shed, are all for you to go further and better in the European Cup. !”

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present feel a chill, because they all knew that what awaited them next would be the so-called devil-style special training. They didn't know how cruel it was, but it must be very uncomfortable. .

And unless they want to escape, they can only face it bravely! (To be continued
