Super Coach

In almost every World Cup, there will be some disputes over interests. Among them, the biggest dispute, but one that receives little attention from fans, is the distribution of interests between the host country and FIFA.

Based on the business operation model established over the years, FIFA has formed a very sound profit-making mechanism. They will promote and operate their entire business operation mechanism from the moment they are awarded the right to host, and then Coupled with the restrictions they impose on the host in terms of rules, there will be incidents where the host criticizes FIFA in almost every session.

Even in Germany, which is known as the best economy in Europe, the situation is no exception, and is even more serious.

Some people say that Germany is the most rigid country in the world because they will first consider responsibility before doing anything.

Therefore, German Football Association Chairman Zwanziger took the lead in criticizing FIFA, believing that they have excessively commercialized football.

The sales of football-related merchandise does not mean that the things are sold and it ends with a sum of money, but that we should consider what kind of concepts these products will convey to fans and what kind of ideas they will have. What kind of feelings will hurt their love for football?

Like FIFA, which is almost all-pervasive in commercial operations and based on money theory, it will make fans less accepting of football. We can see that fans in 2006 are more enthusiastic about football-related consumption than in 2002. and the overall decline in 1998, but the price increase concealed this fact.

If the fans really start to abandon football, then we will have to work countless times more than the commercial income, but we may not be able to win back the fans' hearts!

It’s not that the German Football Association has no right to say these things, because since the near-collapse at the beginning of the century, the Bundesliga has begun to reform, and has since adjusted its business ideas, especially when it comes to treating fans. This has made the cost of watching football for Bundesliga fans constant. It has been the cheapest ever, and over the long term, the benefits to the league are obvious.

In addition to the chairman of the German Football Association, Beckenbauer, chairman of the World Cup Organizing Committee, also publicly questioned FIFA. He believed that excessive commercialization has harmed the sport of football, especially FIFA. Their first consideration is not football. But money.

When the industry's leading bodies turn into profit- and money-chasing machines, we should reflect on our operations of the World Cup and our definition of football as a sport!

When he was in Germany, he was bombarded by two powerful figures in German football. Blatter said in an interview that FIFA was also seriously considering over-commercial operations, but he said that the host nation's bombardment Some of what FIFA said is wrong.

“They’re always complaining about what they do the most;

They received the least benefit, but they did not consider why those 32 teams came to Germany. It was because of the leadership of FIFA behind the scenes. Without us, they would not have been able to come to Germany, and before that, we Arranging 847 World Cup qualifiers is a warm-up for the finals.

But FIFA also gained huge benefits from the qualifiers! a German reporter reminded with a sneer.

Blatter's face darkened, but since the reporter was not asking a question and spoke very quietly, he pretended not to hear.

In fact, everyone’s doubts about FIFA are not because of anything else, but because as a non-governmental organization, they are not subject to any supervision. They have gained huge benefits from every World Cup, Confederations Cup and other events. Where exactly is it used? What is the reason why they desperately try to snatch profits from their hosts every time?

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

But there is no doubt that at least no one dares to raise this issue to the FIFA president, whose influence is said to be higher than that of the President of the United States, because no one is willing to offend him.

But at this moment, a reporter asked another question, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Mr. Blatter, when German President Koehler was interviewed not long ago, he believed that if the World Cup can be successfully held, the biggest contributor will be Beckenbauer, and the German football emperor will also gain his personal reputation because of his participation in the preparations for the World Cup. It has reached an extremely high level in Europe and the world, and may even threaten your status in FIFA...

This reporter seemed to be deliberately trying to find fault, but what he said was actually the truth.

Many people have said before that the World Cup in Germany is a World Cup for Beckenbauer and Germany and has nothing to do with FIFA. Before the World Cup, Beckenbauer visited 32 participating countries and received a very high and grand reception. , the specifications even exceed those of FIFA President Sepp Blatter, which makes people wonder about his future after the World Cup.

But Brat did not let the man continue speaking, but interrupted him directly.

I have talked with Franz. After the World Cup, he will join the FIFA Executive Committee as an executive committee member. At the same time, he will also be in charge of the FIFA Expert Special Technical Group, which is responsible for the promotion and development of football around the world. , this is a position for him that can fully utilize his talents.”

Obviously, Blatter blocked Beckenbauer's path directly from the World Cup Organizing Committee to FIFA President, because the gap between the two is really too big.

But not long ago, UEFA President Johansson said that if Beckenbauer intends to take over FIFA, he should start with UEFA first. This has made many people suspect that Johansson is trying to win over This powerful figure is one of the most influential football figures in international football.

And Johansson's words are not unreasonable. European football has always been known for its unity. From the UEFA president to the FIFA president, if it works well, there will already be more than fifty votes in the UEFA region. Electoral votes, if combined with some votes from other regions, are almost the biggest bargaining chip for Beckenbauer to become the football emperor.

One of the important reasons why Johansson lost to Blatter that year was that Platini split Johansson's votes from Europe, leading to a civil war in Europe. Then some other regions also supported Blatter, so he lost. .

But with Beckenbauer's current reputation and status, it is entirely possible for him to do what Johansson couldn't do back then.

Moreover, Beckenbauer has always represented the mainstream European football forces and can be considered a member of Johansson's side.

The fight between two football giants, separated by Beckenbauer, has undoubtedly become the most lively topic before the World Cup, but Beckenbauer, who is caught in the middle, has never given a positive answer to this.

If he didn't want to do it before just because he didn't have the confidence, now he really has enough chips.

He is undoubtedly not powerful enough to directly challenge Blatter, but if he wants to run for UEFA president and follows the path planned by Johansson, he is very likely to succeed.

Therefore, media around the world are speculating on Beckenbauer's thoughts. The UEFA presidential election, which was almost one-sided before, has regained suspense with the advent of the World Cup.

For things like medals, people who can't get them desperately want to get them, but when they get them, they think it's nothing!

At the most watched seat at the state banquet arranged by the German Chancellor, Yang Cheng was holding an exquisite box in his hand, which contained medals, and on the chest of his suit was Germany's highest honor. [Medal of Honor of the Federal Republic of Germany].

Do you think I'm being arrogant by saying this? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Beckenbauer curled his lips and said, I said the same thing back then!

Really? Yang Cheng smiled, but he really felt that this kind of medal was nothing.

This can only be regarded as an honor and has no substantial effect on you! Beckenbauer said.

Yang Cheng nodded. It was really useless and couldn't be eaten.

However, as a foreigner, it is indeed something to be proud of to receive this medal. The Chinese Ambassador to Germany came to congratulate him in person, and the country also paid great attention and reports to this matter.

By the way, do you really plan to marry Heidi? Yang Cheng asked with concern.

The Heidi here is not Yang Cheng’s lover Heidi Klum. Germany’s most beautiful woman is much prettier and younger than her. She is currently busy preparing for the opening ceremony, and she is also active in various events during the World Cup. How can I have time in a big stadium?

The Heidi Yang Cheng is talking about is Heidi Bornmes, Beckenbauer's old lover for many years. If he is really married, it will be the third marriage of the football emperor.

You know, it's hard to talk about love. I have been with her for seven years and have two children. I should take on this responsibility! Beckenbauer said with a serious face.

Come on, you! Yang Cheng laughed and scolded, The whole world is saying that you have ruined the entire atmosphere of German football, because starting from you, these German stars have all turned into playboys!

What's more serious is that one of the important reasons why German football stars like to abandon their first wives is because of the precedent set by Beckenbauer. This German romantic brother is now married for the third time, and almost every time It ended with the intervention of a third party, and it is said that there is a lover outside who has not been exposed. God knows where he is hiding?

You seem to be more serious than me! Beckenbauer countered with a smile.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and both laughed.

After the joke, Beckenbauer saw Blatter going on stage to accept Merkel's award. His expression became a little solemn and he sighed, but said nothing.

But Yang Cheng understood his mood at this moment, because he had revealed on the phone before that he was having a hard time making a choice.

The odds of winning against Platini are unknown, but this will directly offend Blatter and others, but as he said, everyone desires more power, but some people have the opportunity and some do not.

Many times, I may not be as confident as I show. I also lack some confidence. Occasionally, I need others to give me some courage and encouragement. Yang Cheng did not say it directly, because he knew that, People of Beckenbauer's level may not be able to stand being preached to by others, even the best friends.

Every time this time, I ask myself, since others have confidence in me, why don't I have confidence in myself? If everyone thinks I can do it, but I feel that I can't, then even I will look down on me. Myself!

Smiling slightly, Yang Cheng continued: Whenever I doubt myself, I will think like this. The effect is not bad, all the way from Chemnitz to Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan to Liverpool, and now to Royal Madrid, look... He waved the medal in his hand ostentatiously, What a perfect medal!

Beckenbauer laughed, but he knew what Yang Cheng was talking about.

Forget about annoying things, have you ever gone to the airport and seen a helicopter?

Yang Cheng shook his head, Have you seen it?

Well, it's great, but there is one big flaw! Beckenbauer laughed.

Yang Cheng was stunned. He had a flaw, so how could he sit down?

It must be very inconvenient to go to the toilet! Beckenbauer said in a playful way.

Yang Cheng resisted the urge to laugh and pointed at the old man seriously, This bad joke is not funny at all, Franz! But after he finished speaking, he kept laughing.

Emirates had previously hoped to expand into the European market. In addition to sponsoring Arsenal, they also hoped to sponsor the World Cup. Therefore, they decided to provide Beckenbauer with a special plane equipped with four pilots to be at his disposal at any time. You can travel to every game in the World Cup.

Then when they heard about the cooperation between Yang Cheng and Bild, they felt that this move would also attract the attention of fans, so they also provided a special plane and pilot to Yang Cheng for free to help him catch up with the World Cup. This small The helicopter can only seat two people, one pilot and Yang Cheng, and is not equipped with any other extra facilities, so...

Well, going to the bathroom can be a real hassle!

You know, there are many forests and jungles in Germany. If you really need it, you can go to some hidden places, and then... This unscrupulous old guy was still joking.

Yang Cheng shook his head vigorously, but he couldn't eat anything.

As the first female chancellor in German history, Merkel has been criticized by the German people for her lack of enthusiasm for football, which has caused her to lose the support of many fans.

Don’t really doubt this. In fact, for European and American countries, football is often talked about the most at gatherings between their heads of state. Even the president of the United States pays attention to this situation. The reason why Japan launched football reform back then A large part of the reason for the clarion call was that their prime minister did not find the topic of football when talking to the heads of Europe and the United States. It was only after he returned that he made up his mind to reform Japanese football.

It is precisely because of this that Merkel attaches great importance to this World Cup in Germany. Not only did she arrange a state banquet, but she also awarded Yang Cheng, who is highly recognized and loved by the German people, a medal. She also said that she would definitely be there in person. Go to every German game.

Whether she really likes football or just to win the support of some fans, Merkel's attention undoubtedly plays a very key role in German politics. During a conversation at the state banquet, Merkel also personally expressed her gratitude to Bayern. Ken Ball expressed his sincere support for his candidacy for UEFA president.

Yang Cheng could see that Beckenbauer was tempted, really tempted.

It’s just that everyone likes to show off, so he repeatedly said that he would wait until after the World Cup.

This itself is already a hint!

Of course, he hadn't said anything to the outside world yet, so Yang Cheng didn't say much.

After attending the dinner, Yang Cheng headed to Kaiserslautern without stopping.

In this city where miracles are always happening, almost all the citizens came out in droves to the square in front of the Fritz Walter Stadium on the hill to welcome the arrival of their former hero Caesar.

Here, they erected a statue for Yang Cheng to commemorate everything he brought to Kaiserslautern in the three years from 1996 to 1999, including the miracle of the newly promoted team winning the championship, and the miracle that no one has ever achieved so far. The achievement of being able to keep pace with the Bundesliga Triple Crown.

There is no doubt that Yang Cheng is already the greatest head coach in the history of Kaiserslautern, apart from the Fritz Walter brothers, and the most beloved head coach by the fans, especially considering that in person The person who unveiled Yang Cheng's statue was Fritz Walter's brother, Ottmar Walter.

During the entire unveiling ceremony, Yang Cheng met and talked with Bremmer, Meltzer and others, and then sat down and ate in the Isola Bella main store in Kaiserslautern. A dinner brings back memories of everything that happened in this city.

But despite running around, Yang Cheng has not been idle. What he has done most these days is to counter criticism of some Real Madrid players, such as Raul, Casillas, Zidane and Beckham. People, especially Beckham.

Many media criticized Beckham in newspapers for being old, useless and unworthy of participating in the World Cup, but Yang Cheng fought back.

I have never been able to understand their criticism of David, because in my opinion, David's skills are unquestionable. Although he does not dribble like other players and he lacks speed, his running ability is amazing. It’s surprising, and with just one pass, he can accomplish things that others may not be able to do with many actions, so in my opinion, he is great, great!”

Football is increasingly emphasizing simplicity and speed, because the more links you have between getting the ball and scoring a goal, and the more players involved, the easier it is to make mistakes. If you can find a way to score the ball the moment you get it, Send it to the opponent's penalty area, and then the striker scores the goal. The whole process is almost perfect. No one can stop such a goal because it is too simple and too fast!

Of course, we have to admit that Zidane's football is art, impeccable art, but we should not criticize Beckham's football for this reason. In my opinion, they are equally good and should be respected. !”

Those media who want to quarrel with Yang Cheng are at a disadvantage. At least he gets paid for every word he writes. It is much easier to earn than Chen Aiting, the hard-working writer who coded words at Qidian. Moreover, he can unscrupulously blast it every day. Appearing in Bild's most prominent column and being sought after by countless fans, those reporters must have lost miserably.

That is to say, amidst the roar of artillery directed by Yang Cheng, the World Cup finally kicked off, and Yang Cheng did not forget his responsibilities in Real Madrid because of the World Cup!

After all, the World Cup is just a part-time job, and the head coach of Real Madrid is the main player!
