Super Coach

The football foundation in East Germany is really weak. Whether it is in terms of youth training or training facilities, it is far behind West Germany. Coupled with the entanglement between East Germany and West Germany, Germany The measures that the Football Association wants to help have always been difficult to be recognized and affirmed.

But this time, Yang Cheng's unintentional move gave the German Football Association a great boost.

Thorson Jujo, the former East Germany's No. 1 striker, went to Frankfurt in person and negotiated a series of matters with the German Football Association. His career has entered the end of the season. He will complete his contract with Dresden this season. After that, he announced his retirement, and then entered this training center arranged in the middle of the three cities of Leipzig, Dresden, and Chemnitz.

Located in the forest area south of Nordson, the surrounding environment is very good. This is also an aspect that the German Football Association pays special attention to when choosing a site. Moreover, the transportation here is very convenient. You can directly go to the E40 and 14 highways when you go out, and you can get there in half an hour. Chemnitz and Dresden, Leipzig can be reached in an hour.

Although it was only a groundbreaking ceremony, many big figures were dispatched, such as the governor of Saxony, the German Minister of Sports, the chairman and vice chairman of the German Football Association, and almost the entire leadership team of German football and Saxony.

With so many big figures present, the presence of Yang Cheng and his party was just icing on the cake. After all, this was a very political move, and it was impossible for him, a foreigner, to stand out.

However, during the foundation laying ceremony, it was Yang Cheng who was most welcomed by the fans, especially many Chemnitz fans, who even drove to the groundbreaking ceremony and shouted Yang Cheng's name, which made Yang Cheng completely become The most popular person among fans throughout the groundbreaking ceremony.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the governor of Saxony also approached Yang Cheng directly.

Thank you very much for your help! The white-haired governor said sincerely. Obviously, he also knew that it was Yang Cheng who contributed to today's incident, and this incident has great impact on the East German region. Football, and even more far-reaching politics, have a great impact.

You're welcome, this is what we should do! Yang Cheng replied modestly.

Unfortunately, when you coached Chemnitz, I was not able to watch the game in person, but you must believe that I am your fan, and we are very grateful to you for Chemnitz, and even Saxony football For your contribution, you are our always welcome guest!

Thank you! Yang Cheng shook hands with the governor with a smile, hugged, and then took pictures for reporters, as if he was putting on a show, and even he himself could hardly tell the truth from the fake.

Dilsmidt and the club presidents of Leipzig and Dresden also participated in this groundbreaking ceremony.

The former even found an opportunity to chat with Yang Cheng for a while, talking about the future development of Chemnitz.

It is still the same old saying that youth training is the basis for improving the level of football. The economy in the eastern region is relatively backward. Only by relying on youth training for self-sufficiency and improving the competitiveness of the entire region can we have the opportunity to make a difference in the professional league. !

The future of professional football will definitely be in the shape of a pyramid. With the economic strength of East Germany, they do not have the strength to rise to the top of the pyramid, even Kaiserslautern is impossible, so they can only work hard to improve their youth training, learn Survival mode for clubs like Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, etc.

This is an opportunity, Stefan! Even Paul Bayer recognized Yang Cheng's statement, This is an opportunity to reform the club, and we are willing to help Chemnitz, but the key is, you You have to be willing to change!

The future of football is technology-based football. If you don't change the status quo, you will kill yourself! Yang Cheng said with certainty.

This time, Dilsmidt has listened to the advice of Yang Cheng and others. After all, Yang Cheng is a well-known head coach in German football and a technical consultant of the German Football Association. Same day.

If you need help, just tell me that as long as I can, I will help, but you still have to do everything by yourself when it comes to youth training. Come on, Stefan! Yang Cheng encouraged.

Although he chose to leave Chemnitz at the beginning, and although he still felt a little uncomfortable with Dilsmidt, he has deep feelings for this club, the fans and the people here.

On the day he left, he told himself in his heart that he must find opportunities to help the fans and football here, and now he is fulfilling his vow that day.

In fact, the German Football Association's help to develop football in East Germany is nothing more than following the trend of the German government to help the backward East Germany.

At present, the government is working hard to promote the economic development of East Germany. For example, part of the local government’s fiscal revenue is handed over to the central government, and most of it is handled by the local government. However, about 20% is used to support the relatively backward states in East Germany. .

Imagine how rich the west of Germany is, how much do they get 20% of their annual fiscal revenue?

Yang Cheng believes that with the gradual improvement of the economy and the gradual improvement of the level of youth training, East German football will surely recover slowly. In the future, East German teams will be able to compete with West German teams in the Bundesliga. keep pace with each other.

This is one of his good wishes!

After attending the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Nuosen Base, Yang Cheng followed the technical investigation team of the German Football Association all the way north.

Along the way, they will investigate the current status of youth training of some professional teams in East Germany, put forward some effective suggestions and measures, and at the same time give some guiding help.

Yang Cheng has always been a person who attaches great importance to youth training. He agrees with one sentence, that is, youth training is the future of football. The stimulation of business and money can only drive the short-term prosperity of football. Football brings a brighter future.

Therefore, along the way, Yang Cheng did not hesitate to share some of the football knowledge he brought from his previous life with the members of the Football Association's inspection team, and also with the officials of various regional clubs.

Relying on his football knowledge which is more advanced than theirs, Yang Cheng has been recognized by almost everyone in the past few days. After getting along, they all completely changed their views on Yang Cheng.

Going north from Berlin via the E251 highway, you come to Greifswald, a famous university town in northeast Germany. It is located on the Baltic Sea and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.

The German Football Association hopes to take a look at the environment here. If it is suitable, it is likely to arrange another training center in East Germany in this coastal city.

This old city is full of antiques and red brick walls everywhere. The streets are full of ashlar-paved roads, and the architectural style is also very unique. However, with the support of the German government over the past few years, In addition to retaining the atmosphere of the original East German town, it also adds a bit of modern flavor.

Yang Cheng and his team inspected one of the candidate sites on the outskirts of the city, and then visited the local Greifswald Football Club, a semi-professional club that competes in the regional league.

But when Yang Cheng and his group, accompanied by club officials, walked into this dilapidated training ground, a freckled child suddenly rushed out from the stabbing and stopped everyone, as if not Get them into this training ground.

The child looked about seven or eight years old, and looked immature, but his eyes were searching in the queue.

Hey Tony, get out of the way! shouted the Greifswald club official.

I'm leaving right away, Mr. Frank, I just want to sign!

At this time, everyone noticed that this kid was holding a book in his right hand and a pen in his left hand. He searched the line with his eyes until he found the guy who was talking with Paul Bayer and others, who was behind the crowd. Yang Chengshi's eyes immediately brightened.

Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng! The child pushed aside the crowd and came to Yang Cheng.

Seeing that this kid was not at all afraid of strangers because of so many strangers, on the contrary, he looked very righteous, everyone thought it was funny, and it was impossible to argue with him as a kid, and seeing that he was a fan of Yang Cheng, they suddenly laughed and revealed passed.

Hello! Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and squatted down.

Can you sign me? The child looked innocently at Yang Cheng, full of expectation.

Yang Cheng smiled, Of course!

Paul Bayer and others next to him smiled and left, leaving behind Yang Cheng and the kid named Tony.

Are you a player of this club? Yang Cheng took the book from the child. It was a scientific training book jointly launched by Moniz and Meulenstein, recommended by Yang Cheng and prefaced. He opened the title page, and there was a blank page inside.

Yes, my father is the youth training coach here! The child answered with a nod, but his attention was focused on Yang Cheng's hand and pen. Standing on tiptoe, he pointed out where Yang Cheng should sign.

It can be seen that this little guy is a person with a lot of ideas.

By the way, what's your name? Yang Cheng casually signed his Chinese name on the place designated by the child.

Tony, Tony? Cross! The child's attention was on the signature.

Yang Cheng just finished signing, paused, Tony Cross?

Yes, my father's name is Roland Cross. He is the youth coach of Greifswald. Do you know him? Cross looked at Yang Cheng in surprise.

Yang Cheng's brain suddenly got an electric shock, and then he looked at the child who looked very immature in front of him. He was the most brilliant midfield rookie in German football, Toni Kroos?

He seems to have made his debut in Rostock, right? How could it be here in Greifswald?

Yang Cheng was a little puzzled, but shook his head, No, it's just that your surname is very close to a player in our team!

The pronunciation of Klose and Kroos is different, but it sounds a little close.

I know, it's Miroslav Klose! Kross replied with a laugh as if he had guessed the easter egg.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, That's right, he is a very good player, and you will be too in the future!

When he said this, under Kroos' gaze, Yang Cheng wrote a few words above the signature on the title page, to Toni Kroos, the best player in Germany in the future!

Cross stared dumbfounded, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Germany's best player of the future? ! Is this the evaluation Mr. Yang Cheng gave me?

Tony! Tony! A voice shouted from a distance, waking up Cross, who was intoxicated by the idol's high praise.

Here it is, Dad! Cross yelled.

Not long after, a German in his thirties was chased out of the house, and he saw Tony Cross and a stranger in the distance. He started to catch up nervously, but soon found out that it was Yang Cheng .

Hello, Mr. Cross! Yang Cheng greeted him politely.

Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng, I didn't expect it to be you! Roland said in surprise.

Cross held up the scientific training signed by Yang Cheng, opened the title page, and ostentatiously shook it at his father, Look, Dad, this is the signature Mr. Yang Cheng gave me!

Roland took a look, and was very surprised by Yang Cheng's evaluation of Toni Cross, but he felt that this was Yang Cheng's encouragement to young people, and he would not think of anything else.

Thank you, Mr. Yang Cheng! Roland thanked politely.

You're welcome, Mr. Cross. Scientific training is a very good training method. It is very suitable for young players to train their skills. Although it is different from the series of training methods in East Germany, it should be promoted. Yang Cheng laughed.

Yeah, I also think this training method is good, so I bought a book and came back to study it, and I plan to try it out in the club! Roland said with some embarrassment.

Yang Cheng nodded, then looked at Cross, Work hard, little guy, your future will be limitless!

May I play football for you then, Mr. Yang Cheng? Tony Cross asked innocently.

Yang Cheng suddenly laughed and nodded, Okay, I'll let you start after you have practiced your technique and body!

Do you still want to practice your body? Cross said with a look of embarrassment.

Roland next to him shook his head in embarrassment and smiled bitterly, I don't need it for now, it started after I was 15!

That's right, what you have to do now is to improve your skills. The football in the future must be high-intensity and fast-paced football, and your skills must be very solid!

Like Veron? Cross asked seriously.

Yang Cheng looked at the helpless Roland, and suddenly asked with a smile: Better than Veron, how about it?

Great! Cross laughed.

Then you have to work hard, I'll wait for you! Yang Cheng waved goodbye.

When he was far away, he looked back, only to find that Cross and his son were still there, and there was another child beside him, who seemed to be acting coquettishly and having a temper. The two brothers seemed to be vying for the training book signed by Yang Cheng .

That should be his younger brother, Yang Cheng thought!

…………

I met Tony Kroos, but this time Yang Cheng did not intend to poach him to Kaiserslautern. The reason is very simple. His family lives here very comfortably. Going south and crossing the whole of Germany to Kaiserslautern is indeed a bit difficult.

Furthermore, poaching 8-year-old Toni Kroos to Kaiserslautern may not be a good thing.

When he first arrived in Kaiserslautern, Yang Cheng started to improve the strength of the youth academy, so he poached the ideas of Podolski, Schweinsteiger, and Thomas Muller by the way, but Now, he has gradually discovered that for a head coach, such poaching is of little use.

After the investigation by Greifswald and his party, the Football Association team went to Rostock to inspect the situation of Rostock's youth training.

This East German team, which is currently the best in the German league, has spared no effort in youth training, and the results have been very good. At least this East German team has a good record this season, and the performance of local youth training players cannot be ignored. role.

Sometimes Yang Cheng even felt that the reason why Rostock was able to replace Dresden, the flag team of East Germany, and become an East German team that enjoyed a good time in the Bundesliga was that he found the East German team very well. The way the team survives.

But this road is difficult and bumpy, so this team is always ups and downs.

Returning directly from Rostock to Frankfurt, Yang Cheng and the officials of the Football Association summarized the inspections over the past week, and put forward a series of ideas and suggestions for the next youth training reform.

But none of this has much to do with Yang Cheng. After all, there are experts in this field within the Football Association. He took Paul Bayer and Tim Hank to watch two national team games, one with the German national team. One is the Czech national team game, and the other two are warm-up matches.

Watching the Czech game is not only because the distance between the two regions is close, and it is not just to inspect Pavel Nedved, but also because Kaiserslautern's opponent in the next round of the European Cup Winners' Cup is Prague Slavi from the Czech Republic The Asian team, this team is a well-known strong team in the Czech Republic, and it happens to be the sworn enemy of Sparta Prague.

There are many players from this club in the Czech national team. Yang Cheng watches a national team match and checks the strength of these players by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

But what annoyed Yang Cheng was that Nedved played the whole game again, and the opponent was obviously not prepared to listen to Yang Cheng's proposal, so Yang Cheng was so angry that he almost cursed in the stands, because this was not just tossing the players, It is also tossing Kaiserslautern at the same time.

The Czech Republic has already lost its qualification to participate in the World Cup in France. Now they are just studying with the prince. Why should they be so serious?

But there is no way, who made Nedved the core midfielder of the current Czech team? People have ten thousand reasons to reuse him!

After two weeks of national team training, after the team regrouped, Veron and Denilson, the two international players who went to South America to participate in the national team competition, arrived one day later than the European international players. Instead of lining them up for an away game against Slavia Prague in 2 days, let them rest.

In the away game, Yang Cheng played out a combination of Thomas Riddell and Frings. The left side is the young player Ojigway, the front midfielder is Deco, the right side is Deisler, the forward is Klose, and the back side is Klose. The line of defense is Dede, Louis? Huth, Lucio and Fritz.

Yang Cheng's idea is very clear in this game where almost all the substitutes will play. Give the main players a rest and decide the outcome at home.

In the end, the substitute players did not disappoint Yang Cheng. With a long shot from Frings, they took away a draw and an away goal from Prague 1:1, paving the way for Kaiserslautern to advance to the next round. established a solid foundation.
