Super Coach

Yang Cheng has always been opposed to the national team organizing such a warm-up match before the start of the new season, because he knows better than anyone how important pre-season preparations are to any club.

But the Football Association and the national team also have their own considerations, because from the end of the European Cup to the World Cup qualifiers in September, the national team did not have any games, so it is indeed necessary to arrange such a warm-up match in August. .

Therefore, in the end Yang Cheng chose to compromise. In this warm-up match, he did not call in Klose, Ozil and other players, but he called in more young rookies and fringe international players. Among them, the most interesting Naturally, the one that attracts attention is Leverkusen's youth team forward Samed Yesil, who is only 18 years old and has never appeared in the Bundesliga.

Perhaps this player has attracted the attention of many fans in Germany, but now he is directly recruited into the team by Yang Cheng, which immediately makes the whole world pay attention to this name, because everyone's interpretation of this forward is different. It’s the same, genius!

When announcing this list, Yang Cheng clarified his intention to recruit Samed Yesil.

I didn't rush to bring him into the national team because I was worried that he would be poached by other national teams, but because I wanted to find someone who could help the national team in the 2014 World Cup. player, I hope Samed Yesil will be the player I want!

It is obvious that Yang Cheng's purpose of recruiting players is just for inspection, and there are no other unnecessary elements in it.

In addition, young international players such as Gotze, Reus, Lars Bender, Schürrle and other young players have also been selected for this list again. In addition, Julian Draxler, who performed very well at Schalke 04 last season, has also been shortlisted for this training camp.

When everyone saw this list, they knew very well that Yang Cheng's training camp was basically to hone in on and practice the team's skills and tactics, and at the same time to inspect the new players within the team, so there was no trace of it. significance of investigation.

In order to take care of the interests of the club and players, Yang Cheng's training camp this time was in a hurry. From training to competition to disbandment,

There are only 3 days in total, so each club is trying its best to cooperate...On the 13th of March. sunny.

When Yang Cheng led the coaching staff through the lush tree-lined paths, bypassing the Frankfurt Commerzbank Arena from the Lynard Hotel, and arrived at the training base behind the arena. Many reporters who had heard the news had gathered at the scene.

As soon as the reporters saw Yang Cheng walking into the training ground with a relaxed smile on his face, there was a commotion around the training ground.

Yang Cheng waved to the reporters to express his gratitude, and at the same time declined all interviews. He led the coaching staff into the training ground, and then began to set up the scene.

As before, Yang Cheng arranged the training ground around this area. He stood in the middle and divided the surrounding area into four areas, one of which was specially used for De Palma to train goalkeepers. The other three sections are for different training contents. It can be seen that the first training session this morning will be a comprehensive training without any material.

Yang Cheng's coaching staff are all experienced and very professional. The staff of the German national team's coaching staff have also worked with Yang Cheng for many years. As long as he says a word, everyone knows what to do.

Among this coaching staff, in addition to Yang Cheng, the most eye-catching one is Ballack, the former captain of the German national team. However, the former captain now seems to have integrated into his new identity and is very familiar with it on the training field. Arranged.

The time has steadily entered 9 o'clock. The players began to change into their training clothes one by one and walked into the training ground.

This group of international players have basically been selected for the national team many times and are already familiar with Yang Cheng's requirements, so as soon as they entered the training ground, they did not need to say anything to the coaching staff, and then started their own warm-up activities.

Samed Yesil and Draxler, who joined the team for the first time, already knew the rules from their teammates and followed them throughout the process. However, on the surface, they were still cautious, fearing that I accidentally broke the rules.

Julian, I heard that you were injured before, how are you feeling now? Yang Cheng, who was standing in the middle of the training ground watching, left his position and walked directly to Draxler.

It's basically fine, thank you for your concern! Draxler immediately stopped pressing his legs and replied quickly.

Yang Cheng nodded, It's better to be careful. Before training, you go to the medical room and let Professor Wolfat take a look at it. If necessary, you can do restorative training on the sidelines in the morning.

After a pause, Yang Cheng was still worried about Draxler's random thoughts, so he added, You will participate in the tactical drills and group confrontation training in the afternoon, and then you can give full play to your strength!

Draxler immediately nodded heavily in agreement.

After chatting with the Schalke 04 youngster for a few words, Yang Cheng walked towards Samed Yesil nearby.

As soon as the young player with dual nationality of Germany and Turkey saw Yang Cheng approaching, he immediately stopped his movements and stood there upright, as if he was a student who had made a mistake and was listening to the teacher's admonishment. The expression is very interesting.

Samed, this is the national team, not the school. There is no need for this! Yang Cheng patted his shoulder with a smile and motioned for him to continue doing his own thing, I am very happy that you can accept the call-up for the national team. It proves that you are indeed willing to play for the German team, and I also hope that you can perform well in the national team!

I will work hard, Mr. Yang Cheng! Yehil still looked serious.

To this group of young generals, Yang Cheng was undoubtedly the supreme king, and they could only look up to him.

By the way, I heard that you are worried about the transfer recently, is that true? Yang Cheng asked casually.

Yehil was a little uneasy. After looking at Yang Cheng, he nodded in affirmation but did not answer.

Don't let your transfer affect your performance in the national team. I really hope to see you continue to be selected for the national team. Don't let me down! Yang Cheng patted the kid's shoulder encouragingly, smiled, and turned around. Gotta go.

Hey. Mr. Yang Cheng! Yesil stopped him when he was about to turn around.

Is something wrong? Yang Cheng was slightly stunned and looked at him kindly.

Yehil hesitated. But he still asked, What do you think about my transfer?

These words first stunned Yang Cheng. Then he laughed and shook his head, I don't have such power, Sameed. I am the head coach of the national team. For this kind of thing, you should talk to your agent, your family, or Leverkusen. Let’s talk to the head coach.”

Yehil hesitated again, I want to hear your opinion, just listen!

Look at the expectation projected in this kid's eyes. Yang Chengcheng couldn't refuse, so he thought for a while, nodded and said, Okay, I'll tell you, but I'm just telling you my own opinion. I can't represent you!

After hearing this, Yehil showed a happy smile and nodded in agreement.

In my opinion, the environment is very important for a young player's growth. There are many talented players when they are young. It is because during the rapid growth stage, the speed and momentum of progress are suddenly interrupted, which directly leads to his In the end, I failed to show the strength that matched my talent and potential.”

There are many factors that interrupt a player's growth and progress, such as transferring to an unfamiliar environment, or being hit by some things. It may be psychological, or it may be style of play and technology, but they are often It’s both, especially the former, as there are many young rookies who fail at this step.”

Of course, I'm not saying that transfers will definitely not be successful, because there are also many people who have become brilliant after transfers, and there are also many people who have not been transferred, but have gradually lost their luster. In short, what is it like? There are many, but from my point of view, staying in a familiar environment is more suitable for the growth and progress of a young player on the premise of ensuring the same training opportunities.

Yang Cheng is just the head coach of the national team. He is neither Yehir's club coach nor his agent, so he certainly dare not say what he wants Yehir to do. Otherwise, if Yehir is in the future If Hill comes out, that's better, but if he doesn't come out, he might directly blast Yang Cheng for giving him random ideas.

These are my own opinions, think about it carefully! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yehil nodded heavily, I understand, thank you, Mr. Yang Cheng!

Yang Cheng had a very good impression of this kid. He patted his shoulder encouragingly, turned around and walked back to the middle of the training ground... The first training session of the German team was focused on recovery, but Yang Cheng and the coaching staff also They are observing each player through a series of training details, such as their technical condition, physical condition, and their psychological condition. These are important basis for inspecting the national team.

The first training session was open to the outside world, but in the second training session in the afternoon, Yang Cheng closed the door and began to practice the team's fan-shaped defensive system and counterattack routines with all his heart.

In Yang Cheng's view, any kind of counterattack cannot be faster or more effective than a long pass, quickly advance through the midfield, advance the ball to the opponent's threat area in the shortest possible time, and form a formation in this area. Cooperation and creating threats are actually equivalent to eliminating the step of Spain controlling the ball in front of the opponent's 32-meter area.

In this way, the overall rhythm of the team will definitely speed up, but once the first counterattack fails to create a threat, then pass the ball through the high position, through Ozil, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Klos, etc. The forward players form the second organizational echelon, creating threats through pulling and teamwork.

Of course, Yang Cheng himself knows very well that long passes mean a lower success rate, so his requirements for the team are not actually to blindly play long passes and diagonal attacks, but to complement each other with medium, short and long, that is to say , at the moment when you get the ball, if you see an open space, you will directly play a long pass, otherwise, you will cooperate to advance, because the German team also has a good advance player like Lahm.

But the German team's offensive tactics must be developed around the diagonal, so Yang Cheng is training. In addition to specially arranging drills for diagonal offensive routines, the focus was on long passing exercises for players.

Long passes are a technical skill that many fans don't know. Looking at the long passes in the game, they feel that they are understated, but the effect is awesome, and they feel that long passes are too simple. You may even hear some people say, why doesn’t such-and-such player practice long passes?

This idea is totally wrong!

To put it simply, it is a vertical long pass from the backcourt. This should be considered the simplest, but if you want to grasp the placement, strength, and angle well, it will undoubtedly be very difficult.

Today's regular game balls are getting lighter and lighter. Not heavy, but floating. On the one hand, this means that long passes are required, and the requirements for foot strength are reduced. But on the other hand, it is precisely because it is light and floating that the ball's landing point, angle, and arc are controlled. The requirements are higher.

In training, Yang Cheng focuses on sculpting the long passes of Badstuber, Hummels, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos and others. He has one requirement for all players who practice long passes. Just find your own way of doing things.

There is no way to learn long passes. There is no understanding, consciousness or enlightenment. The skills of long passes can be learned, and the footwork can also be learned, but how to exert force. How to touch the ball, how long it takes to touch the ball, and how hard the force is exerted all need to be mastered by players through repeated practice.

How much force should be used to make the ball reach its destination, and what part should be used to play in which position? This requires players to figure out and master it after continuous practice. These are things that others cannot teach, and you can only practice them yourself.

For example, if Khedira plays a long pass, Badstuber will definitely not be able to play it. Why?

Khedira's feet are very strong, the toes are very hard, and they are full of strength. He swings his legs casually and the force of the kick is enough to reach the destination, but Badstuber must use more force, so How to use force and how to exert force requires repeated practice and exploration by yourself.

Also, in addition to exerting force when touching the ball, it is also very important to adjust the pace before touching the ball. If you carefully study the long passes of long pass masters such as Beckham, Pirlo and Xavi Alonso, it is very easy. I found that basically every long pass they made was as standardized as possible, almost exactly the same.

Why is this happening?

Because through repeated practice, they have found their own set of tips and methods for long passes, and then after they standardize them, they practice over and over again. After they become proficient, they will start subconsciously as soon as the ball comes on the court. Based on his own practice experience, he steps, adjusts his body, and swings his feet to exert force. Almost every long pass is exactly the same standard action.

Some people may say that many improvised movements can also achieve the purpose of passing the ball?

However, the point is that improvised movements are never as stable as standard movements. Therefore, those long passers who pursue improvisation will occasionally make wonderful long passes, but they will also often make spoofs that are so bad that people call them cheating. They seriously lack stability. However, the standardized actions of Beckham, Pirlo, Carrick, Xavi Alonso and others can ensure maximum stability.

I still remember that there were a lot of people who suspected that Beckham only had one trick, and thought that long passes were not a skill. But now, you should all know clearly that long passes are not just a skill, but a skill, and even It can also be said to be an art, the same as countless techniques and playing arts on the football field.

All arts require talent, but also continuous hard work and diligence, so you have to work hard!

These were the words Yang Cheng cheered the players after they practiced a round of long passes.

Among Yang Cheng's coaching staff, Moniz and Meulensteen are both experts in technical training. During the long pass practice, they constantly gave pointers on the players' passing movements and other issues to help them improve. .

Not only on the first day, but also on the second day of the training session, Yang Cheng also joined the long pass training course in addition to tactical drills to improve the players' awareness of long pass drills.

After two days of training sessions, everyone could see that Yang Cheng was focusing on polishing the team's new tactics.

That night, Yang Cheng directly announced the starting lineup for the next day's game against Argentina.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, and the three midfielders are Schweinsteiger and Sven Bender. , Toni Kroos; the three frontcourt players are Thomas Muller, Gotze and Reus.

This tactical formation is somewhat similar to 433, but Yang Cheng prefers to call it 4330, because the two wide players at the front of the entire formation are Thomas Muller and Royce, who are on the left and right respectively. On both sides, target the midfield areas of the opponent's full-backs and centre-backs.

Gotze's position is behind the two wingers, playing as an attacking midfielder. In addition to passing the ball and distributing the ball to the two players, his duty is to take the ball to attract the opponent's center back, or to pull him from both sides. When the opponent's defense shows a flaw, he can step in from behind to complete the final blow.

In this position, Ozil is the most suitable. The German attacking midfielder is always very good at finding gaps to get the ball. He is very good at finding loopholes between the opponent's defensive midfielder and the defense line, and after he gets the ball, His awareness and creativity in passing the ball quickly are also very good, so he is most suitable to play this position.

However, because Yang Cheng did not call Ozil into the national team this time, he tried to use Gotze to play this position. After all, it never hurts to be prepared for everything.

In the preparation meeting, Yang Cheng also repeatedly emphasized that no matter who he is, running and passing must be based on himself, using the distance and movement direction of his teammates as a reference, so that I should be the main one and let others The opponent in turn adapts to his own tactics, which is what he has always required.
