Super Coach

\u003e Boss!

Although the content of Yang Cheng's first training session was very relaxed, in fact none of the players found it easy, because being stared at by that person was very stressful, and they all felt like they were being supervised by their leaders. and pressure.

But after the training, Schweinsteiger and others immediately faced Yang Cheng.

In the current German national team, the seven players Schweinsteiger, Deisler, Klose, Thomas Muller, Ozil, Podolski, and Toni Kroos can be regarded as Yang Cheng Some of them are old players from Yang Cheng's time in Kaiserslautern and were personally brought up by him, and some are players from Yang Cheng's time at Real Madrid.

Yang Cheng looked at the group of smiling guys. He was also happy for this, but he shook his head, I am disappointed with your performance in this World Cup. Very, very disappointed!

The group of boys were stunned one by one and stood around Yang Cheng, not knowing why. The Bayern players such as Lahm and Badstuber who were standing around were also very convinced of Yang Cheng and were all convinced after hearing this. Was stunned.

Originally, I had a lot of curse words in my column, but I deleted them later. The reason why I am disappointed is not because you have no strength. On the contrary, I am disappointed because I know that this group of my students, you... ... He pointed at the group of players in front of him, including Lahm, Badstuber, Marin, Khedira, Jerome Boateng and others.

You all have very good strength and potential, but you have performed in a mess. You have not played your due strength at all. This is the reason why I am disappointed, especially the boys who came out of Kaiserslautern. , you have all forgotten what the spirit of Kaiserslautern’s Red Devils is, and you have all forgotten the spirit of Fritz Walter!”

When Yang Cheng said this, everyone in the group immediately lowered their heads, especially Bastian Schweinsteiger and others, who all came from Kaiserslautern. Over the years, they have always been proud to be from Kaiserslautern, but now they are said so by the great leader of Kaiserslautern, and they all feel ashamed.

Many players, including Neuer, Butt, Mertesacker, Kiessling, Janssen and others, came closer one after another.

When we were in Kaiserslautern, we were a team in the Bundesliga 2, but we still managed to beat the then-arrogant Barcelona in the European Cup Winners' Cup, as well as Chelsea in the Premier League. We relied on Isn’t it our tenacious fighting spirit and team spirit? Do we rely on top stars?”

We win the Bundesliga as a newly promoted team and win the Bundesliga Triple Crown. Do we rely on individual performance or teamwork?

Remember the season when we won the Champions League? Yang Cheng looked at Schweinsteiger.

The latter nodded heavily. He still keeps the video of every game in Kaiserslautern that year. Although he was only a young player at the time, he was proud of the team, Remember!

What's our record in the group stage? Yang Cheng asked.

I was beaten so badly by Manchester United that I almost missed the match! Schweinsteiger said through gritted teeth.

What's the result? Yang Cheng asked again.

Klose was red-eyed. Those were the two most unforgettable seasons in his life. One is winning another treble with Real Madrid last season. We defeated the all-powerful Manchester United in the Champions League final and avenged our defeat in the group stage!

Then answer me, what did we rely on at that time? Yang Cheng asked again.

Klose and Schweinsteiger looked at each other, and the latter replied: The spirit of never giving up!

When I go back, I have the opportunity to look through the video of the Miracle in Bern. To see how our predecessors fought back then, and then think back to our current situation. Compared with then, who are we now?

After everyone listened. Some nodded.

When I take charge of Germany, I must rediscover the spirit of the Red Devils of the past. The team fighting spirit of the German Steel Tanks that never gives up. I hope that all of you, whether you love this country in your heart or not, regardless of your Are you satisfied with me as a person, but at least when you put on this jersey, you have to fight for it until the last minute. This is a professional player and the most basic thing that a football player should have. Quality.

If someone can't do it, I don't think they deserve to wear this jersey!

This group of players are all young and energetic, which is a good thing to a certain extent. However, how to unite them into a fighting force is the most pressing difficulty that Yang Cheng faces now. He also knows very well that he cannot It may be possible to dismiss them with just a few words and make them return to their hearts. He must have his own team.

So on the same day, after returning to the hotel, Yang Cheng communicated with a group of veteran officials such as Deisler, Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Thomas Muller, etc., and first told them about his own situation. Plan, and then communicated with several core figures in the team such as goalkeeper Neuer, Friedrich, Mertesacker, Khedira, Boateng and other players.

During the conversation, Yang Cheng's attitude was very clear, that is, if the German team wants to qualify, everyone must reorganize their mentality and ensure 100% dedication and concentration in the game. At the same time, all players must be There is a team spirit of sacrifice.

It took Yang Cheng two days to communicate with 23 players, and two days later, the media gradually received the news.

The news about Yang Cheng acting as the German national team gradually spread. Zwanziger, the chairman of the German Football Association, made a speech, expressing his welcome to Yang Cheng and reprimanding Loew for his irresponsible behavior, thinking that it was a hindrance. The attacker pushed Germany into the abyss of eternal destruction and must be responsible for the current situation of the team.

Sienna and Heidi Klum also rushed to South Africa immediately. They had to handle some things for Yang Cheng, such as his previous commitment to write columns for some newspapers, and some matters related to acting as the German head coach and sponsors.

When things come to an end, they are often solved in chaos and encounter situations that cannot be solved. Everyone discussed taking a step back and coordinating things. Anyway, things are like this. We can either continue to cooperate or break up. It's a very simple matter.

Yang Cheng was a gold mine that no sponsor was willing to give up casually, so they all chose to continue cooperation. Then we can only take a step back, and everyone can seek harmony and make money. What's more, Yang Cheng has brought them many benefits over the years, and it doesn't matter if he sacrifices a little bit.

Yang Cheng has completely let go of business matters, but he has to worry about football matters himself... Why do you always like to do such sudden things?

After the coaching staff all arrived in Johannesburg, Yang Cheng officially started his first tactical discussion class, which was held in the hotel room, except for Yang Cheng's old partners. Now the nominal acting head coach Flick also participated with three coaching staff. After all, this was a tactical meeting for Ghana.

Are you afraid? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

You kid, don't use provocation. I'm afraid I won't come! Paul Bayer scolded with a smile.

Everyone was used to getting together and making noises, and they all laughed and made noises. On the contrary, Frick and the other four were a little reserved.

Back to business, Tim! Yang Cheng looked at Tim Hank.

The latter nodded, Ghana's team has a pretty good record. It faced Serbia 1:0 in the first round and tied Australia 1:1 in the second round. How can I put it this way? They have different characteristics from the West African teams. They The players' bodies are not that strong, but their coordination is more tacit, and they pay more attention to teamwork and ground attack.

Compared to Ghana, the German team also has many problems. The biggest problem is the change of coach before the game. Another problem is that our offensive impact is insufficient. The four goals against Australia are beautiful. But in fact, it does not explain any problems. Our lack of impact is an obvious flaw!”

What is impact?

It is the ability to break down the opponent's defense in an instant!

In Real Madrid, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Villa and Aguero all have such abilities, but in Germany. It is true that I have never seen such a player. Ozil is full of spirituality. But in fact, he is not an impact player at all.

With insufficient impact, it is understandable that Loew plays ground penetration, but our defense is too slow, especially the turning and pursuit of the two central defenders. This is already known to everyone. It happened, and because of this, it was impossible for our defense to press forward, thus shortening the offensive distance.

As Yang Cheng has always said, although the modern football system is organized at the back, how to push the defense forward is an important issue in offensive tactics. However, due to the shortcomings of Germany's central defender, it has never been able to sit here. At one point, this caused Germany to face a big problem. When it performed well, it was hearty, but once someone caught it by seven inches, it completely stopped.

He was able to dominate against Australia, but he was unable to do anything against Serbia because of tactical constraints!

However, this obviously cannot be too demanding. Germany's central defenders are all tall and have excellent frontal defense and air defense capabilities. However, precisely because of this, they have shortcomings such as slow turning and chasing back. This It is difficult to find perfection in the world. Otherwise, Kompany, a perfect central defender, would not be so highly regarded by Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of Sebastian Kyle, his old player in Kaiserslautern. He is now the captain of Kaiserslautern. He has been playing for Kaiserslautern over the years, but he has always played for Kaiserslautern. Playing in the defensive midfield position, coupled with injuries before the World Cup, Loew was not brought into the national team this time.

Today's Kyle is not the glass man who suffered many injuries in Yang Cheng's previous life. Kaiserslautern introduced a complete set of equipment from Yang Cheng's research laboratory from the beginning. Although Kyle is 30 years old, his injuries are not A lot, and the condition is still very good, but unfortunately, the troubled Red Devils captain ended the entire season early due to injury in April.

Over the years, Loew has promoted the rejuvenation of the national team. In addition, Kyle's position in the midfielder position includes Ballack, Bastian Schweinsteiger and many other stars, so Kyle's position in the national team has gradually become marginalized. , but Yang Cheng still decided to find an opportunity to talk to Kyle to see how his recovery was going.

Yang Cheng has never forgotten that Kyle was the backbone of Kaiserslautern's three defenders back then. He had a very broad vision, accurate long and short passes, and excellent ball control skills. He is fierce and decisive in interceptions and tackles, especially now that he is 30 years old and has rich experience. Yang Cheng would like to try again to see how effective he and Mertesacker are as a central defender.

Although Ghana is very capable, it still looks young, and this team has the characteristics of a typical African team. It lacks tactical discipline! Benitez said sharply.

Yang Cheng nodded, So in this game, we have to give full play to our advantages and strengths, use our best method to disintegrate their weakest points, and then destroy them in one fell swoop!

Starting from Chemnitz, Yang Cheng has paid great attention to running without the ball. When Yang Cheng developed the youth training system for Germany, one of its very important features was running without the ball, and the running without the ball that Yang Cheng planned was not Ozil's over-emphasis on talent and vision~~ Shushu.com - Updated the off-ball movement of the starter~~, but the overall off-the-ball movement in units of three players.

When attacking, one goes up, one follows, and one responds from the side; when defending, one marks, one assists, and one protects from the side.

If you carefully study the performance of the German team in recent years, it is not difficult to find out. In fact, since 2002, Germany has been very good at running without the ball. It is always a triangle team running, controlling the area, and the defensive distance between each other is very precise.

This is not just the style of the German national team, but also the German professional league teams. The entire German youth training system operates according to this routine. Therefore, there is indeed no player in the German team who is very powerful with the ball and can tear apart the entire defense line by himself like Ronaldinho and Kaká. However, what the German team has is a group of parts that are well-tuned. Just barely assembled into a fighting machine.

Among the three attacking midfielders in Germany at the moment, Yang Cheng's three favorites are Ozil, Thomas Muller and Deisler.

Ozil is characterized by very fine skills. Finding gaps and catching passes are his strengths, but he also has a strong ability to attack with the ball, but he prefers to seek cooperation; Deisler is no longer the wing attacker he was when he was young. He relies more on technique and consciousness to play football, with outstanding overall situation and sharp and deadly penetrating passing. At the same time, he is also praised by Bundesliga fans as having Beckham-like precise crosses and that free kick. Ball technology.

Thomas Muller is the most favored player among the new generation of players by Yang Cheng. He grew up in Kaiserslautern. His technical movements are very standardized and rigorous. His running without the ball can even be said to be the best among them, especially It is his ability to intersperse running in dense defense and his calm mind that enable him to move calmly in any situation.

But Yang Cheng believes that one of the reasons why he will become a great player is that he breaks away after stopping the ball. Combined with the pace of the ball, control of the ball, and prediction of the situation, these allow Muller to complete the post very well. Plug in the offensive mission.

The double defensive midfielders are Bastian Schweinsteiger and Khedira. There is no problem with this pairing. The former organizes and coordinates, and the latter focuses on defense. Toni Kroos, who has an excellent overall view, is also a player that Yang Cheng admires very much. A rising star.

In Yang Cheng's view, the biggest problem for the German team now is the tandem, that is, the forward and the defense.

There is only Klose on the front line who can make people feel at ease. Neither Gomez nor Podolski is satisfactory. Although the latter is Yang Cheng's disciple, he returned to Kaiserslautern from Bayern before and performed well. Yes, but Yang Cheng feels that he hasn't made much progress over the years, probably because he was tired of becoming famous at a young age.

In addition, forwards such as Keesling and Cakau can only play a dozen substitutes, so the forward line is always a problem.

But if the problems on the front line are relatively minor, then there are more problems on the defense line.

Let's not talk about the two central defenders, let's talk about the full-backs. Only one Ram can't guard the two wings, so once Ram reaches the left, the right becomes a problem. Once Ram reaches the right, the left It becomes a colander, which is very embarrassing.

We need to open up one side of the net, let it go, and fight on the other! Yang Cheng made a decision.

Benitez thought for a while, nodded and said: On one side, I specialize in offense and on the other side, I specialize in defense. That's all we can do now!

Loew's previous tactic was to resolutely use two wings to press forward to launch the attack, but after many games of practice, it proved that this pair of defenses had a big problem. In the loss to Serbia, the German team's wings appeared. Multiple questions.

We are not in Real Madrid now, and it is impossible for Yang Cheng to say that if he lacks a full-back, he will find one in the transfer market. Germany's full-backs and forwards have had shortcomings for a long time, from Klinsmann to Loew. This problem has not been solved well. To put it bluntly, it is a stubborn problem, as obvious as Brazil's midfielder problem.

So in this case, all Yang Cheng can think of is to use tactics to make up for the shortcomings in staffing.

No matter what, we must first ensure that the team qualified from the group!

Let Lahm play on the left and actively attack. Jérôme Boateng will play on the right and defend! Yang Cheng looked at Flick.

This was the first time for the latter to experience this kind of tactical discussion between Yang Cheng and the others. I had heard that Yang Cheng and the others were meticulous in preparing for the game. Now I see that although they are all new here, their analysis of their opponents and the team itself seems to be very different. Very targeted. Not much else to say, just the stacks of hundreds of pages of tactical reports brought by Tim Hanke and Chris Schmidt are enough to confirm the outside world's understanding of the situation. Yang Cheng’s impression.

I agree! Frick nodded.

Then the training in the next few days will follow this routine. If nothing unexpected happens, the starting goalkeeper Neuer; the defense line of Lahm, Friedrich, Mertesacker, Jerome Boateng ; Double defensive midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and Khedira; attacking midfielder Thomas Muller, Ozil and Deisler; single forward with Gomez!

In this game, we must launch an attack from the beginning, take the initiative from the first minute, focus on attacking the left wing, defend the right side where Gian and Kevin Boateng are active, and try to kill Ghana!

After everyone heard Yang Cheng's decision, they all nodded in unison. (To be continued...RQ
