Super Coach

Thomas, is it cold on the ground?

Under the tent on the top of the snowy mountain, Lars? Bender approached Thomas Muller who was lying on the ground and asked with a smile.

You've been lying there for a long time, shouldn't you cum?

Seeing that Thomas Muller did not respond, Lars Bender grinned again, Or I can suggest to the boss that he give you a little more time, and you can think carefully about whether to shoot or not!

That's so long-winded! Thomas Muller said in a cold voice.

Then are you going to shoot or not? The whole team is waiting for you! Lars Bender laughed.

Thomas Muller put a little distance between his face and the sight of the air rifle, rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if to make his eye sockets relax a little, turned his head, and found that everyone was laughing. Look him over.

Another person lying on the ground like him was Sven Bender. This guy was the most outrageous. He actually let his brother carry out harassment tactics. It was so shameless and simply despicable.

Boss, let this guy go away, he is harassing me! Thomas Muller immediately protested loudly.

Yang Cheng nodded, whistled, and pointed at Lars Bender, You, leave the field! His serious look made everyone present burst into laughter, but when he saw Thomas Mu After Le and Sven Bender restarted the standard, everyone fell silent and watched silently.

This is an air rifle competition, specially arranged on the top of a snow-capped mountain. Two pairs compete against each other. The loser has to take off his clothes and run naked on the top of the mountain. Of course, he is not stripping naked, but taking off his underwear, anyway. There were all men present, and they were used to walking around in the locker room. Not afraid of being seen either.

The first group duel was between Thomas Muller and Sven Bender, both of whom had 5 chances.

But they still seemed to be hesitating, and in the end Yang Chengcheng was forced to have no choice. All he could do was say, If you don't fire the gun, both of you will be punished together.

As soon as these words came out, I heard that the two people quickly got into the standard, firing continuously with bang bang bang, and saw the target in the distance snapping, after 10 shots. The two stood up from the snow and saw people running over from a distance.

Thomas Muller, shot 4 times!

As soon as Yang Cheng announced, this kid felt a little proud, and everyone else cheered.

Sven Bender... Yang Cheng deliberately paused to leave a little suspense. Everyone looked at him and said, All five shots hit!

Wow!!! Everyone burst into an uproar. This kid actually got hit. Is this possible?

Boss, you're not going to trick me on purpose, are you? Thomas Muller was a little doubtful.

Yang Cheng took out two targets. Found that to be the case.

I usually go hunting in the forest near Kaiserslautern! Sven Bender said with a smile, which sounded like he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Thomas Muller almost fell over because of his shooting skills. ...What bad luck! ! !

Take it off, you don't have any muscles anyway! Yang Cheng looked like you are really disappointing me, but what he said made everyone present burst into laughter, and they all started asking Thomas Muller to take off his clothes.

Take it off, wait for me to warm up first! Thomas Muller walked aside.

I will supervise him, boss, you continue! Schweinsteiger was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

It didn't take long. I saw a Thomas Muller wearing briefs running naked on the top of a snow-capped mountain. The temperature was not high today, it was noon, and there was no wind, so as long as the physical activity was allowed, there was nothing wrong. But everyone watched it with great interest, and some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of a streaking door or something.

Pair after pair competed, with people constantly running around naked, while the victors cheered loudly on the sidelines, which added a bit of popularity and heat to the lifeless top of the snow-capped mountains.

After a week of hard training, today is the last time they climbed the snowy mountain. After today's training, the team will return to Germany for final preparations before the European Cup, so today Yang Cheng specially arranged a ski shooting training , just to let the players relax and relax.

In the past week, in addition to insisting on physical and team training projects such as mountain climbing, cycling, and kayaking, Yang Cheng also organized many interesting competitions, such as skiing, golf, basketball, etc. , there are also mountain off-road vehicle games and also overturned vehicles.

Although this kind of training camp is very hard, it makes the atmosphere in the team very good, especially the players' mood has been greatly improved, and the team's unity is stronger. This is what Yang Cheng hopes to see very much, and even if It was veterans like Ballack and Deisler who persisted in all training programs, proved that they were not the kind of person who was holding back, and won the recognition of their teammates.

In addition, Yang Cheng, who has extensive experience in so-called family training, has also specially organized some family activities, but they are basically arranged in the evening. He hopes that through family activities, he can dilute the players' resistance to training.

After this week of special training, Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the effect of the special training. Duweiler, Chris Schmidt and Tim Hanke are also very satisfied with the effect of the training. Next, the team It will enter the final adjustment stage, and they will make every effort to adjust the players' condition and physical fitness to match condition before the European Cup.

This is not easy and requires everyone to work together.

After completing the air rifle shooting competition, a group of people skied directly down the mountain, and the whole process was full of exclamations and laughter.

After staying here for 2 weeks, after receiving lessons from the most professional ski instructors, each of them has become a master of skiing.

After returning to the hotel, Yang Cheng arranged for the players to undergo physical examinations, and then continued the hydrotherapy that must be performed after each training session.

After lunch, I took a nap and left Tignes by car.

After staying here for two weeks, many players fell in love with this town, especially the players' family members. They all seemed to have come to this picturesque snow-capped mountain town for a vacation and were a little reluctant to leave.

For the players, leaving Tignes means that the final moment that determines their fate is coming.

There are currently 30 people on the training squad, but only 23 people will eventually make it to the European Cup squad, which determines that 7 people must leave the team. This is undoubtedly a very cruel choice, because everyone has been training together for such a long time, and no one wants to see any team members leave.

But the limitations of the list make this decision so tragic. All must be done.

Since leaving Tignes, the atmosphere in the team has been a bit different, especially the mood of the players. It is obvious that they are feeling the upcoming pressure, both for the 23-man roster and the upcoming European Cup.

For those struggling to make the roster, the next few days will determine their fate. For those players who have steadily received a pass, the next European Cup game will determine their fate.

In the first encounter with Spain, no one can relax!

For this European Cup, not only the team has tried its best, but also the German Football Association has spent a lot of money.

The first is the issue of bonuses for this European Cup. During the team training, Yang Cheng contacted Niersbach by phone, and the latter confessed to Yang Cheng about the bonus system during the European Cup. This includes that if the German team can finally win the European Cup, each player will receive a high bonus of 500,000 euros.

The bonus system developed by Niersbach and Bierhoff is very detailed, including if the team fails to win the championship. However, reaching the finals can also get a bonus of 350,000 euros, and the semi-finals are 250,000 euros. Finally, it is pushed back to the group stage. Niersbach and others originally planned to arrange group stage bonuses, but they were Yang Cheng vetoed it with one vote.

What Niersbach and Bierhoff said is actually not completely unreasonable, because qualifying for the group of death is always accompanied by luck and opportunity. If no bonuses are arranged in the group stage, then the group does not qualify, doesn’t it mean A player has to play three games for the national team in vain without receiving any reward?

But Yang Cheng still chose to refuse the group stage bonus. Instead, the bonus plan was mentioned in the group qualifying. As long as they qualify from the group, each player can receive a bonus of 150,000 euros. This bonus is exactly the same as the bonus when the team won the World Cup runner-up in 2010.

A very important reason why the German Football Association is able to spend so much money to reward teams is that their income has increased a lot, which has been significantly improved compared to 2010.

The first is the arrival of Yang Cheng. The German Football Association has been able to attract more sponsors, sponsorship fees have also increased, and the overall income of the German Football Association has also increased. Moreover, Yang Cheng's arrival has made more sponsors optimistic about the German team.

The second is UEFA's bonus. This time UEFA has increased the rewards for participating teams. They have given out a huge bonus of more than 200 million euros. Each participating team can get at least 8 million euros in bonuses. There are rewards for winning and drawing in the group stage. If you can win all the way, you can get a huge bonus of more than 25 million euros at most.

From this point of view, the rewards from the German Football Association are also very good. The ones higher than the German Football Association are the host Ukraine and the French team in the same group as Germany. If the latter can win the championship, the maximum bonus is 524,000 euros.

In addition to bonuses, the German Football Association also attaches great importance to the arrangement and layout of this European Cup.

This time the team will set up camp in Gdansk, Poland. The German Football Association has booked a hotel in advance. It is a 17th-century manor hotel with very complete facilities. It is surrounded by parks and is located in a mountainous area on the outskirts of the city, which can guarantee maximum security. The team is not disturbed and affected by the outside world.

The hotel has 70 guest rooms, all of which are booked by the German national team, because there are so many teams and staff.

Because there is no training ground near the hotel, the German Football Association decided this time that the Gdańsk city government would arrange land around the hotel and build a brand new training ground here for the national team to use during the European Cup.

Although this training ground is relatively small and simple, it still costs about 300,000 euros in total, and after it is used up, it will all be given to Gdansk to be used as a venue for local school sports activities. This is very important to the German Football Association. It's a big act of kindness.

But Gdansk is not without rewards. The city government has guaranteed that while the national team is stationed in Gdansk, they will provide the most comprehensive protective measures and arrange guards to accompany them 24 hours a day. Ensure that the German national team is not subject to outside influence and harassment.

…………

…………

After returning to Frankfurt from Tignes, the German team immediately ushered in its first warm-up match opponent, Switzerland led by Hitzfeld. This was also the first competition between Yang Cheng and Hitzfeld at the national team level.

In this game, Yang Cheng used two groups of players in the first and second half. One group is the main force, and the other group is the marginal players, but it seems that every player of this national team is not in the state of competition. It can even be said that they are far from reaching it. The best performance in the game was Kyle is a veteran defender.

But even though Kyle performed solidly, he still couldn't stop Switzerland's defensive counterattack from taking away a 1:0 victory at home in Germany.

It seems that the rumors from the outside are true! Heathfield did not leave immediately after the game. Instead, he and Yang Cheng found a place to sit down and chat in the stands of the stadium.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly. He knew that although the German team has been training in a closed environment recently, the outside world has been very hyped, especially after Masaya Saki added fuel to the fire, about Yang Cheng not knowing how to adjust the national team. Physical fitness and blindly using the club's method to lead the national team have attracted huge attention from the outside media.

Now this is a defeat in the warm-up match. As well as the poor state shown by the players, it is obvious that it confirms Masaya Saki's guess about Yang Cheng and believes that after this warm-up match. The outside world's perception of the German team will change.

Do you also think I'm that kind of idiot? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Heathfield shook his head, Of course I won't see it that way. If you are stupid, then who else in the world dares to say that he is smart?

It's just that I'm also worried about you. Can you adjust before the European Cup?

Yang Cheng was not confident enough, There should be no problem.

Meeting Spain in the first game and being in the group of death is a big test for you. If you can't adjust, then the German team may not even make it out of the group in this European Cup. Line, by then all the media’s saliva will drown you!”

Am I afraid? Yang Cheng asked.

Heathfield shook his head and smiled. This seemed to be the answer Yang Cheng should have. After so many years, many things about this guy have changed, and his personality has become calmer. But the confidence in his bones, which can even be said to be arrogance, has not changed at all.

Frankly speaking, after this warm-up match, even if I know that you are not in good condition, I can still feel that you are far from Spain's opponent. If you want to go head-to-head, Spain will definitely be able to eat you! Sfield looked worried, because his Switzerland had little hope, but Yang Cheng's Germany still had hope.

Hitzfeld's Switzerland is the only team that has defeated Spain in recent years, so he knows very well how to restrict Spain. Although Spain is stronger now than it was in 2010, some things cannot be changed.

You have too many defensive problems. Kyle performed well, but Mertesacker showed his flaws in this game. Spain's ability to seize opportunities is much better than ours. If this game were played by Spain, , that old guy Del Bosque can defeat you 5:0, at least, you should know better than me.

In this warm-up match, the German team exposed a lot of problems. Some problems were caused by physical fitness and physical exhaustion, but some problems were the team's long-standing shortcomings, such as the problem of the defense. Even Yang Cheng couldn't solve it.

There are only a few people, and the characteristics are there. No matter how clever the tactics are, it is impossible for the players to suddenly change their characteristics, right?

As for arranging tactics according to the characteristics of the players, it is not that Yang Cheng has not considered it. He has also practiced it in training. However, this tactic is very different from the offensive football style he has always advocated and admired. Moreover, Even if tactics are changed before the battle, it will not ensure that the German team can achieve better results.

Heathfield looked at Yang Cheng, and he suddenly felt that Yang Cheng was really courageous.

Why do you say that?

The Real Madrid he coaches is the strongest team in the world. He can command Real Madrid to defeat everyone in club competitions and is invincible. That kind of satisfaction and feeling cannot be found in today's German team. Got it, because the current German team has always had a mountain like Spain lying across its head.

Spain is like Real Madrid in the national team field, and Real Madrid is Yang Cheng's highest peak and most outstanding work in his life. Now it is equivalent to asking Yang Cheng to lead the German team to challenge his own peak. This is not anyone's. All can be done.

But from now on, Yang Cheng has a lot of fighting spirit and his goal is very clear. In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he will train a German national team that can break through his peak and defeat Spain.

But now it is 2012. At least from now on, there is a big gap between the German team and Spain in terms of overall strength or the individual abilities of the players. This is not something Yang Cheng can make up for alone.

To be honest, the current Spanish team is very different from the one in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It has become stronger, so I can't give you any good advice, and I believe that it will never be better again. No one knows this Spain better than you, so, as your old friend, I can only say, wish for good luck! Hitzfeld didn't seem very optimistic about the German team.

The strength gap is there, there really isn't much chance of winning!

Don't worry, no matter what the outside world says, I will never admit defeat, because there is no such word as surrender in my dictionary! Yang Cheng smiled confidently and said proudly. (To be continued)
