Super Coach

The most profitable event in the hands of FIFA has always been the World Cup. However, it is precisely because FIFA's profits are excessively dependent on the World Cup that FIFA has been looking for ways to open source.

In terms of club events, FIFA took over the Toyota Cup and renamed the event the Club World Cup, striving to make this event a major event comparable to the UEFA Champions League. But after so many years, Because the strength of participating teams is uneven, the influence of the World Club has always been limited.

In the national team competition, in addition to the World Cup, FIFA has also taken over and transformed the Confederations Cup. All participating teams in this event are from the intercontinental cups of various continents under the leadership of FIFA. championship team.

As usual, the teams participating in this Confederations Cup are the host country, Brazil, the host country of the next World Cup, Germany, the champion of the European Cup, Uruguay, the champion team of South America, and Uruguay, the champion team of North America. Mexico, Asia's champion team Japan, Oceania's champion Tahiti, Spain, the last World Cup champion, and the African Cup champion team that has not yet been decided.

Starting from 2005, one year before the World Cup, the Confederations Cup will be held in the country hosting the World Cup. This certainly does not rule out FIFA's own calculations, but this event also allows some teams to participate in the event and hone the team. The opportunity can also be used to inspect the preparations of the World Cup host country, which can be said to be a multi-purpose event.

Continuing FIFA's practice over the years, they have also paid more and more attention to the draw ceremony of each session. This time the Brazilian Confederations Cup is no exception. In addition to the head coaches and football association officials of participating countries, there are also a group of superstars in Brazil.

This made Yang Cheng receive a warm hug as soon as he walked into the Annebi Convention and Exhibition Center in Sao Paulo where the lottery ceremony was held.

Boss! I saw the chubby Ronaldo grinning his big mouth, revealing his iconic big rabbit teeth.

Yang Cheng was so tightly held by his hands that he almost couldn't breathe, so he pushed him away hard. I said, are you going to murder?

Boss! As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him patted his shoulder. It almost scared him to death.

Looking back, I saw that it was Denilson who had also gained a lot of weight.

Yang Cheng saw that these two fat men who used to be domineering on the court were now probably out of breath even if they took a few more steps. Suddenly, I had a nightmare. I deliberately stretched out my hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on my forehead and shook my head vigorously, F***, Brazil is really scary. I'd better go back to Europe!

Ronaldo had the lowest point of laughter and almost fell to the ground with laughter. Denilson was not much better.

Boss,

It's not easy for you to come to Brazil, this time. We must treat you well no matter what! Ronaldo's eyes were full of ambiguity, and he kept squinting his eyes.

Yang Cheng was also very moved when he heard this. This Brazilian girl was famous for her fiery passion, but he was also afraid if it was reported in the newspaper tomorrow that Yang Cheng was having a romantic affair in Brazil. Then this matter will be difficult to handle. After all, Brazil is a chaotic place. Think about Ferguson’s experience in Brazil...

You're not young anymore, don't just think about having fun all day long, take care of your family more, Ronnie! Yang Cheng acted like an elder. He used a serious tone to teach Ronaldo a lesson.

Don't worry, boss, Ronnie recently got divorced again. After being single again, he can now play without any worries! Denilson said with a smile beside Yang Cheng.

Are you divorced again? Yang Cheng was shocked.

Ronaldo smiled without any embarrassment or shame. It seemed that divorce was nothing to him.

Stop talking about me, boss, when you come to Brazil, I'll treat you to food, accommodation, entertainment, and prostitution in Sao Paulo! Ronaldo seemed very generous and patted his chest. He had invited him many times. Yang Cheng went to Brazil, but Yang Cheng never came. If he comes this time, he will definitely not be let go easily.

I said earlier that food, accommodation and fun were fine, but this old boy also mentioned prostitution?

Who do you think I am? Yang Cheng's face was filled with sweat. This Ronaldo is really that good!

Although Yang Cheng has left the professional league, he has accumulated many contacts over the years and has coached many former Brazilian stars. He also knows many people, so when he walks into the venue, he is naturally the boss. There was a rush.

Finally, after finally getting rid of the entanglement, he was taken to the front row by the staff, and then he saw FIFA President Beckenbauer waving to him and pointing to the seat next to him, which was obviously for him. The one left is right between Beckenbauer and Del Bosque.

Vicente, I have a feeling that I always suffer when I sit with you! Yang Cheng sat down in his seat with a wry smile.

In the chat just now, he got some news from UEFA President Olsen. Among the participating teams in this Confederations Cup, Brazil and Spain have been designated by FIFA as the seed teams for this tournament.

Among the draw rules of the Confederations Cup, teams from the same continent are circumvented in the group stage draw, and the host country is designated as the seeded team. These are all known to everyone, while the other seeded team must Look at the national team rankings, competition championships and other considerations.

Spain and Germany are currently ranked first and second in the national team rankings respectively. In addition, Spain is the last World Cup champion. Although the German team is the new European champion, no matter from which level you look at it, The German team is still slightly worse, so Spain is designated as the seed team.

In other words, the German team will definitely compete with the host Brazil in the group stage!

This old guy, Del Bosque, got the advantage and behaved very well. He looked like Coach Anxi in Slam Dunk. He smiled and didn't say anything, but he seemed to have everyone's magnanimity, which made Yang Cheng curse in his heart. He felt that this Bo Dad is too much.

The draw ceremony began with Cafu, the former captain of the Brazilian national team. The official ball of the 2014 World Cup was shown to everyone, and then Beckenbauer introduced the process of the Confederations Cup. This event will start on June 15, 2013 and end on June 30. This will be The most important national team competition before the World Cup in Brazil.

Yang Cheng had already made a lot of preparations for the draw. He couldn't get a seeded team and met Brazil. Yang Cheng felt confused because he had a hunch that Group A might be turned into a death group. Because with the strength of the Brazilian and German teams, the competition will be fierce no matter whether Mexico or Uruguay joins.

It turns out. Yang Cheng's thoughts figured out FIFA's plan, and Group A did eventually become the group of death.

Brazil is assigned to the same group as Germany, Mexico, and Japan; Spain is assigned to Group B with Uruguay, Tahiti and the African champion team. In this way, no matter how you look at it, the competition in Group A is very cruel, because Japan and Mexico They are all equally capable of challenging the Brazilian and German teams, but Tahiti is recognized as a team with good statistics.

After the draw, Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly and stood up, preparing to get up to attend the dinner after the FIFA draw ceremony. Del Bosque, who was beside him, also stood up with a cheerful face. He also patted Yang Cheng's shoulder comfortingly, as if to tell him, little brother, just accept your fate!

However, this is not because FIFA insists on killing the German team, because the German team cannot qualify for seeding. Then it is destined to encounter Brazil, and whether it is Uruguay, Mexico or Japan, any team drawn will produce very cruel competition, which is inevitable.

Of course, this does not mean that the strength of Spain's group is poor. Uruguay and the African champion team, these two teams will definitely be able to challenge Spain, but this BUG team is too strong.

After all, this world still believes in the law of the jungle. Whoever has the bigger fist has the advantage... There is a saying in Brazilian football that there is a golden lake at the foot of the Andes!

The reason why I say this is to describe the large number of talents in many Brazilian professional clubs such as Da Gama, Flamengo, Fluminense and Sao Paulo at the foot of the Andes. Among them, Sao Paulo is the most formalized. This club has what is known as the most complete training base in Brazil.

Speaking of the training base in Sao Paulo, we have to talk about Kaká.

Rumor has it that after the Sao Paulo club sold Kaká to Milan, they used the funds to build this training base. This was a big squander for Brazilian football at the time, at least not many clubs could afford it at the time. Investing such a large amount of funds to build such a training ground.

However, even now, this is still the most modern and well-equipped training base in Brazil. It not only has a dedicated youth training camp, but also a large first-team training area, as well as numerous complete scientific research facilities, including , many equipments in the field of sports and rehabilitation are imported directly from Yang Cheng's research center.

When the German Football Association was looking for a training base, it focused on two areas, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Because the transportation here is convenient, it is very convenient to go to any city hosting the World Cup. The climate is also very suitable. It does not rain often, so it is very suitable. Used as a location for the World Cup training camp.

As soon as Yang Cheng heard about Sao Paulo, he thought of the Sao Paulo Club, which is well-known in Brazilian football. He immediately mentioned this club to the German Football Association. After the German Football Association sent someone to inspect it, they gave it a high evaluation. Evaluation, it is believed that it is suitable to be used as a training camp for the national team.

This time, taking the opportunity to participate in the Confederations Cup draw in Brazil, Yang Cheng specially brought Bierhoff, accompanied by Ronaldo and Denilson, to the training ground of the Sao Paulo Club.

Welcome to Sao Paulo, Mr. Yang Cheng! The famous Yang Cheng led the team to Sao Paulo. Club chairman Juventio personally brought the club management to the gate to greet them. At least to them, Yang Cheng was already considered a superior person. He is such a big shot, and everyone is eager to have a relationship with him.

Hello, President Juventio! Yang Cheng responded politely.

Afterwards, Ronaldo, Denilson and others were polite to the people from the Sao Paulo Club, and then walked into the training base.

Entering from the main gate, you walk on a smooth cement pavement, with green decorative landscaping on both sides.

On the right is the administrative office of our club! Juventio introduced a three-story tile-roofed house on the right, which seemed a bit old. But it has a different flavor. The entire building of the Sao Paulo training base is of this old-school architectural style, which is very local.

A group of people reached the fork in the road and saw Juventio pointing to the road that turned to the right.

The one on the right leads to the youth team's training ground and competition field. The youth team's games and training are all in this area. It's just across the river. It's completely separated from the first team. In addition, the youth team is usually there. If you don’t take this road, there is a door on the other side for entry and exit. If necessary, close the bridge by the river and the two sides will be completely separated!

Here on the left is the exclusive training area for the club's first team. There are a total of 3 standard competition venues as training venues, and there are also 5 small venues of different sizes. We also have a dedicated indoor football stadium, and this one It’s the locker room and gym, there’s an indoor swimming pool, etc.”

Yang Cheng listened to the introduction as he walked. He had never been to Sao Paulo, but his first impression of this club's training base was that even in Europe, it was definitely the top training base. Or I dare not say it is the most scientific, but with complete facilities and first-class environment, there is absolutely no escape.

What makes Yang Cheng most satisfied is the indoor football venue. He really likes to play small-field football matches. Ye Qi likes to let players train in such small venues, so when he heard about the indoor football stadium, he immediately went to take a look with great interest.

Indoor football in Brazil is very popular. Almost all famous stars have experience in indoor football. Even many stars with excellent skills such as Ronaldinho and Robinho started their experience in indoor football. Many of their improvisational moves came from indoor football games.

It really doesn't look like a Brazilian club! Bierhoff also observed the training base in Sao Paulo for the first time. He also admired the other party's level of modernization and complete equipment.

They have also arranged dormitories for lunch breaks. Our players can take a rest here without having to travel to and from the hotel. This is also very ideal for us!

Yang Cheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this. The most rare thing is that every dormitory here is equipped with air conditioning and private bathrooms, entertainment rooms and computers with Internet access. Table tennis, basketball, badminton and other sports are all available. It's almost like a complete hotel.

You know, when Yang Cheng was in charge of Inter Milan, the club did not yet have air conditioning in the player dormitories. Today, many European clubs have not yet done this, so Sao Paulo can have such facilities, it is really good.

Another thing that makes Yang Cheng satisfied is that this training base is not in the city of Sao Paulo, but in the south of a small town called Cotia in the west of the city. If you train here, to be honest, unless someone Guidance, otherwise, it will not be easy for someone who is unfamiliar with the place to get here.

Even if you get in, there are high walls around you. Unless you sneak into the training base, you can't expect to spy on any confidential information. This is in line with Yang Cheng's requirement to keep it secret.

What do you think? Bierhoff is very satisfied with this place, but Yang Cheng is the one who really makes the decision.

Yang Cheng thought for a while, looked around, nodded and said, I don't have a problem either!

At that time, the German team can train in Sao Paulo during the Confederations Cup. If any problems are found, they can slowly improve them, or they can wait until the World Cup to change the location. This is not difficult at all.

Then I'll start talking to them! Bierhoff nodded.

Yang Cheng also nodded, It's rare for me to come to Brazil and visit everywhere! He is actually a travel enthusiast. Since he has come to Brazil, there is no reason not to visit everywhere, especially Jesus in Rio de Janeiro not far away. Like, you must appreciate it carefully... Brazil will become the most watched region in the world's sports world in the next few years, with the 2013 Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup, and the 2016 The Rio de Janeiro Olympics and three international competitions are all held in Brazil, which undoubtedly provides favorable opportunities for Brazilian sports, especially Brazilian football.

Sao Paulo also attaches great importance to this cooperation with the German national team. It hopes to use this opportunity to enhance the club's influence in international football, and even use the influence of the German team to open players to the Bundesliga. channel, so Sao Paulo also showed full sincerity in the negotiations.

If the German team enters the Cotia training base in Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo will provide the German team with the best convenience in terms of staff, waiters, food and accommodation, etc. At that time, the German team will only need to bring their own ingredients and luggage. You can move in directly and St. Paul will provide the rest.

Of course, everything they provide is not free. The German team will provide Sao Paulo with an amount of 300,000 euros as a fee within half a month of the Confederations Cup. The name is to help Sao Paulo renovate the training base. In fact, it is considered a reward, and Yang Cheng also promised to give discounts when purchasing some instruments in Sao Paulo, which can be regarded as a kind of repayment.

But Yang Cheng also mentioned that he hopes that Sao Paulo can provide the team with protection in many aspects such as confidentiality and security. Juventio promised that he will definitely do his best to cooperate with the German team in these aspects, and he will also This matter was conveyed to the Kotiya Municipal Government, which will arrange police to escort the German team.

Yang Cheng is very satisfied with Juventio's arrangement, because with the Cotia training base in Sao Paulo, the German team can arrange their hotel in a safer and more complete hotel in Sao Paulo city instead of living in the countryside of Brazil. place.

This is another great convenience for the German team.

After settling the draw and residency in Brazil, Yang Cheng began to take a vacation. With the kindness of Ronaldo and others, Yang Cheng stayed for a few more days and did not leave until mid-December. (To be continued)RQ
