Super Coach

Things in the world are very strange. Almost nothing, no decision, can satisfy everyone.

Just like Yang Cheng decided to arrange for the team to visit Auschwitz concentration camp, this matter received strong support and affirmation from Niersbach, Bierhoff and others from the beginning, and German Chancellor Merck Er also personally called Yang Cheng to express his relief and happiness for his decision, and promised to appear at every game of the European Cup to cheer for the team.

This is definitely a big support for Merkel, who has many things to do. Previously, the head coach including Loew could not get such honor and treatment. It can be seen that this Leipzig senior prime minister spared no effort to support Yang Cheng. .

In addition to people in Germany, UEFA President Olsen, FIFA President Beckenbauer and others also gave Yang Cheng affirmation during interviews and believed that this was a visit with positive significance. , worthy of admiration.

England head coach Hodgson, Italy head coach Prandelli, and Dutch head coach Van Marwijk, the head coaches of these three national teams also said after Yang Cheng’s announcement that as long as the time is right, they will also All will visit Auschwitz, which has attracted intense attention around the world.

There are many people who agree and disagree with Yang Cheng's decision. Those who agree believe that this move will help eliminate some prejudices and misunderstandings within the national team, and will help educate players and let them know more about things other than football. things and learn about some of the history and culture of the country where the European Cup is held.

But some people say that Yang Cheng's actions are grandstanding and deliberately creating topics. They think that there is no need for him to do such a thing, especially taking the German national team to Auschwitz. There is a special meaning in it.

Besides, the European Cup is about to start. Yang Cheng is too indifferent to do this kind of thing at this time.

but. Although public opinion is very concerned, the German team's decision to go to Auschwitz Concentration Camp has not been affected at all, but it is still consistent with the low-key training in the past period. Yang Cheng's team entered Auschwitz Concentration Camp That one. When the door was hung with the slogan Work makes people free, no one except two or three reporters accompanying the team knew about it.

Because they arrived at the Auschwitz concentration camp the day after Yang Cheng's interview with Glenn Nack, that is, the morning after the news was just published on the UEFA website, this definitely made everyone start to I didn't expect it because it was too fast.

Yang Cheng did this on purpose. He wants to avoid all reporters, and after visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp, the team will immediately go to Gdansk for final training and adjustments before the European Cup.

Auschwitz concentration camp,

Also known as the Death Factory, it was the largest concentration camp built by Nazi Germany during World War II. More than a million people were killed here. It has now been converted into a memorial hall. To achieve the purpose of warning the world.

For the arrival of the German national team, the concentration camp gave a high-level reception because this was the first Football Association delegation they welcomed. Therefore, the owner of the memorial hall personally led a team to welcome them, and arranged for three survivors who had narrowly escaped death in the concentration camp to introduce everything here to the delegation members along the way.

All the people, including Yang Cheng, were wearing dark coats, representing a kind of coldness and solemnity, to express their mood when visiting this concentration camp. They were full of commemorative mourning, and then they walked in front of the three survivors. Accompanied by the delegation, they visited the prison cells, crematoriums, gas chambers, gallows and other concentration camp facilities and environments.

The entire concentration camp retains the atmosphere of the Second World War to the greatest extent, and even gives people a sense of being there. It seems that the echoes of the painful wails of the victims can still be heard here, and the air here seems to still have a smell of blood. Especially under the exaggeration of the survivors' personal experience, everything seems to be just like that. Happened to myself.

A group of people came to the monument, and everyone stood in a long row and presented flowers and candles. Everyone looked solemn. Although the place was very open and surrounded by green trees, the feeling here was very depressing. It was as if even the sky had become gloomy and would collapse anytime and anywhere. It felt very uncomfortable.

Everyone who approaches this place can imagine that the millions of people who lived in this concentration camp lived a life of constant panic every day, and had to live with the fear and threat of death every day. During this time, it feels like even the strongest person will collapse and cannot bear it.

Even when these three survivors talked about their narrow escapes, they could clearly feel the lingering fear in their hearts. Even after so many years, even now they have seen through life and death. But they were still scared, which shows how terrible everything that happened here was.

Finally, in the exhibition hall of Auschwitz, every visitor can leave a message on the guestbook here, and Ballack, representing the German national team, left a message on this guestbook. A paragraph.

Football for Auschwitz is both a silent mourning and an obligation to talk. This was a time of endless sadness and painful separation. He left the world with an eternal reminder!

Then each player left his own message, and Yang Cheng also wrote his own words in the guestbook.

We have the responsibility and obligation to educate young children through Auschwitz, so that anti-racist and paranoid ideas will disappear forever in our society and prevent the same tragedy from happening again!

At the same time, German Football Association Chairman Niersbach also published some photos of the national team's visit to Auschwitz on the official website, and defined the national team's move.

Many people have said that it is inappropriate for the national team to go to Auschwitz, because this group of young German internationals should not shoulder the responsibility for their ancestors. I think their views are correct. They really do not They should be held accountable, but they must take responsibility and assume their responsibility as the German national team and as a symbol of Germany.

Through this trip to Auschwitz, we conveyed our apology to the world, and through this kind of condolences, all the international football players can clearly understand their responsibilities and use the power of football to inspire and Inspire all young people to eliminate the wrong prejudices of racism and bigotry.

Merkel was also there at noon that day. Through a spokesperson, he expressed his affirmation of the national team's move and highly praised the national team's role model in this incident. He also called on fans to express their nostalgia and condolences during the European Cup. Visit Auschwitz concentration camp.

At the same time, Yang Cheng also encouraged the players to express their views on the Auschwitz concentration camp on Weibo. Almost all of them said that they were shocked and deeply impressed by what they saw and heard in the concentration camp. The incomparable shock brought them great feelings.

Yang Cheng himself also explained the intention and feelings of this move on Weibo.

My time coaching in England gave me a very different understanding of the country's football tradition.

Early on, I felt that English football lagged behind other European countries in the overall tactical field, and even more so in the training of youth players. However, when I was coaching at Liverpool, I met and came into contact with many people. Things, I learned a lot of deeper meanings from them.”

I think, to a certain extent, regardless of the utilitarian aspect of success. As far as the starting point is concerned, the focus of youth training in other European countries is to cultivate a professional football player, and use this as a starting point. They Everything we do and strive to do is to develop a professional player.

But in England, you will feel that their starting point for training players in the traditional sense is to first cultivate a real man, a real strong person, and then a professional player, because in their understanding, Only strong men can perform better on the football field.

So, in this country, many outstanding men have emerged, and this has become the style of English football. Even those fans who criticized the past rough style of football in the Premier League have to admit that the football in this league is full of men. There's a lot of blood and passion. It's shaped by the philosophy behind their football.

Three years of traveling in the Premier League have given me a profound experience, and I have thoroughly understood that it is not difficult to train a professional player. With the current technological means and the current meticulous training method, if you want to train a professional player It’s really not difficult to be a professional player, but it’s very difficult to cultivate a real man!”

This kind of difficulty will become more and more difficult as the degree of professionalization becomes higher and higher, and as the football era becomes more and more utilitarian!

But I hope that through this move, everyone can understand that a successful football player must first be a person and then a player. If you want to be an outstanding and respected player , he must first be a successful and respected person, otherwise, it is impossible for him to achieve this!

As soon as Yang Cheng's Weibo post was posted, two completely different comments immediately formed on the Internet.

Supporters believe that his statement is very profound, especially a large number of football professionals who believe that Yang Cheng has gradually transformed from a successful football coach to an art master today. The accumulation of so much life has made him think beyond football, and he has raised the meaning of football to a whole new level.

If Yang Cheng was just an ordinary head coach, I would think his words are exaggerated and inappropriate. But he is Yang Cheng, the best head coach in football today and is known as the greatest in football history. One of the head coaches and the greatest current head coach, he should use his own words, deeds, and thoughts to guide the path of football development and point out some of the shortcomings that have arisen in the professionalization and development of football!

But there are also some opponents who believe that this is pretentious. It is just a pretense to say a few pretentious remarks, pretending to be profound and thoughtful, and always pointing fingers at football matters. He is basically a guy with great ambitions and little talent, and talks too much. .

The two groups were quarreling fiercely on the Internet. Both sides held their own opinions and positions, and they were at loggerheads. However, the supporters obviously accounted for the majority, but the opponents refused to give in. But what is interesting is that almost All famous coaches and professionals support Yang Cheng and believe that his remarks are good for the development of football. Those who oppose him are more extreme fans.

Regarding this matter, Yang Cheng did not give the slightest comment. He relied on this feeling after visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp on the way to Gdansk. I posted on Weibo on a whim, but there has been no news since.

…………

From Gdańsk Airport to the hotel where the German team is stationed, it takes a total of 20 minutes, about 18 kilometers. But most of them are through mountains and forests, and the roads are not wide, so the speed cannot be too fast.

For the sake of confidentiality, this time the German Football Association arranged its base camp in the mountains and forests.

Yang Cheng also didn't know until he arrived that their residence was called Orivski Manor. There was no hotel in the name, and it was a manor-style hotel. It's not big, and it's been booked by the German team. It's a certain distance from the city. It's hidden in the mountains, surrounded by dense woods, and it's not easy to find at all.

The low mountain and woods between the airport and Gdańsk are called Orivski Mountain by locals, combined with the name of the Manor Hotel. Yang Cheng didn't know whether there was a connection.

Once out of the woods, we came to a narrow fork in the road. After turning two intersections, we came to a green grassland.

The grassland is not large and is close to the road to the north, but it is very short. From the road, you can directly overlook everything in the grassland. It is really a good place to spy on the military situation, but there are policemen wearing fluorescent vests near the intersection. Patrolling, as soon as they saw the German team bus, they took the initiative to get out of the way. They seemed to take it seriously, and they should be preventing some random people from approaching the training ground.

Would you like to go to the training ground and take a look first? Bierhoff was sitting on the bus. Yang Cheng approached Yang Cheng in the front row and asked.

Are you here? Yang Cheng hasn't been here either, which is a bit strange.

Here we are! Bierhoff nodded with a smile.

The bus soon turned onto a dirt road between the green grass and the road, passed a small sentry house, and stopped directly in front of some bungalows, apparently. This is the dressing room of the German national team.

When they got off the bus, everyone was amazed at the simple locker room they saw in front of them. Indeed, everyone was mentally prepared for how good a training base 300,000 euros could build. In fact, Poland This training ground is already better than everyone expected.

Starting from tomorrow, there will be police guarding the guard post 24 hours a day. At the same time, there will be police guarding every intersection from here to the hotel, and out to the intersection just now. They will protect the team 24 hours a day, and the police station will Arrange a police car to accompany the team in and out.

Bierhoff introduced everything here in detail. The venue was a bit crude, but there was definitely no problem with safety.

When the time comes, don't let the rest of the crowd come in! Yang Cheng suggested.

Bierhoff nodded, I already told them, the police will take care of it.

The quality of the turf is very good, but the venue is relatively simple. This makes Yang Cheng can't help but think that if it rains here, I am afraid that the drainage system of this grassland may not be able to satisfy the team. I am afraid that the training will have to be moved to the hotel. I went to the gym. After all, this place definitely can't compare with those five-star training grounds.

It’s not hard to understand when you think about it. You have to give it away after you use it. Do you really think that the German Football Association is a living thunder?

How far is it from here to the hotel? Yang Cheng asked again.

Bierhoff thought for a while, About 1.5 kilometers, it shouldn't be more than this distance.

Yang Cheng smiled. The distance was really close. Maybe there would be no need to use the bus in the future. From now on, he would just run to the training ground and treat it as a warm-up. At worst, in order to deal with the sponsor Mercedes-Benz, he would just take the bus. The car is placed at the entrance of the training ground.

Okay, everyone, please go and have a look in the locker room and training ground. We will gather in 5 minutes. We will go to the hotel, clean up, and start the first training session in the evening. Is there any problem? Yang Cheng asked vigorously he asked, clapping his hands and shouting.

As soon as the players heard this, they all responded nervously, No problem! Then they began to rush to adapt to the venue and locker room, and also allocated the wardrobe in the locker room, but they were all casual and not deliberate. arrange.

The Manor Hotel, as the name suggests, is a manor, and it is a very luxurious and elegant aristocratic manor.

But perhaps because this is a deep mountain and old forest, not many people come in or out, so the hotel's security facilities are also very simple. The walls are all iron fences, which are simply enclosed, and everything inside can be seen at a glance.

Interestingly, the arrival of the German national team did not arouse the locals’ onlookers, as if they had already known all about it, that is, a few children were chasing behind them on bicycles, still shouting Caesar must be a fan of Yang Cheng, so when Yang Cheng got out of the car, he directly signed autographs and took photos with the five fans who were chasing after him, which was out of breath. He greatly satisfied their requests and made these little brats happy. They were all so happy.

The hotel has security guards and police officers guarding it, so there is no problem with safety.

After Yang Cheng and others entered the hotel, they packed up and took a rest. Then in the evening, they all went to the training ground and conducted their first training session after arriving in Gdańsk. This time, they attracted many locals. Attention, but they all seemed very quiet, just watching on the road, and did not affect the team's training. Obviously they had been notified before, and they all obeyed the rules, so Yang Cheng also asked the players to give This group of local fans signed autographs and took photos.

On the third day after the team arrived in Gdansk, the station welcomed a special guest from UEFA. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
