Super Coach

\u003e In the field of football, there have been some stories of fathers and sons, such as Milan Maldini and his son. There are also stories of brothers working together, such as the Neville brothers of Manchester United. There are even stories of twin brothers. Just like the De Boer brothers in the Netherlands, both of them have become famous Dutch stars.

The Bender brothers were born in Rosenheim, a suburb southeast of Munich, just next door to Schweinsteiger's hometown of Kolbermoor.

Since Kaiserslautern brought Bastian Schweinsteiger from Rosenheim to Kaiserslautern, their scouting system has attached great importance to selecting talents in this area. As a result, they successfully selected players from this area in 1999. In the first area, they poached twin brothers from the Bender family and successfully cultivated them, becoming another outstanding representative of the club's youth training.

For the Bender brothers, it was a pity because when they came to Kaiserslautern, the greatest head coach in the history of the team had left the city, but they could learn from the experience of everyone in this city. In their words and deeds, I can feel their respect and love for this great head coach.

They will never forget the grand occasion when Yang Cheng came to Kaiserslautern to watch a game and was warmly welcomed by fans from all over the city. That scene was simply unmatched by the team's championship. This gave them a huge shock because they all It's strange, how much contribution you have to make to football in this city to get such respect and love from them.

After joining the team, they began to feel Yang Cheng's contribution to the city.

The advanced and complete youth training system ensures that everyone in the youth training system has the opportunity to grow and perform; the sound large-scale scouting system, as well as the nearby national youth training center, all provide Kaiserslau with opportunities to grow and perform. It provides convenience for Teng to better choose talents from all directions, which has created the stable development of Kaiserslautern.

The city's size hindered Kaiserslautern's growth. But everything Yang Cheng has done for this team has given him the foundation and strength to stand at the top of the Bundesliga. From the time Yang Cheng left in 1999 to now. Kaiserslautern has won 3 league championships and 2 cup championships. Their record is outstanding and can be called the Bundesliga except Bayern. The best performing and run club.

What's even more rare is that this team has an aggressive style of play that has been inherited from the Yang Cheng period. Advocating technology and creativity, Kaiserslautern can be said to be the most popular among all Bundesliga teams for their style of play, which has also made Kaiserslautern's fan base rise steadily. The club's popularity has also grown tremendously.

The peak of Kaiserslautern set off by Veron, Ruud Ruud, Nedved and others during the Yang Cheng period. From the Kaiserslautern Sanya King period composed of Ballack, Deisler, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Kyle and others, to the current third period composed of many club youth training players such as the Bender brothers, Kaiserslautern's glory continued.

And behind all this,

It’s all that one person’s contribution!

I really hope I can be selected for the national team! The eldest brother Lars looked at the TV and it was playing that Cristiano Ronaldo won the Champions League MVP. This is for this guy who is still playing for Kaiserslautern. For a young player who is not very famous, it is undoubtedly a fantastic dream. He also hopes that he can win this award one day.

Don't be stupid, it will definitely work! Sven Bender was also a little uneasy, but he seemed to be relatively relaxed. However, if you pay attention to the look in his eyes, it is not difficult to find that in fact he is not relaxed at all.

Both the boss and the captain are right. Caesar needs reform now. He needs more young people. This is our opportunity! Sven Bender analyzed with longing, And don't forget, we have The inherent advantage is that we come from Kaiserslautern’s youth training system, which others do not have.”

Are you planning to go through the back door? Lars asked his brother with a smile.

Sven Bender grinned, How is this possible? I just said that we understand Caesar's tactical concepts better.

This is true. They have grown up in Kaiserslautern's youth training system since childhood, and this team's youth training is in the same vein as Yang Cheng, so they are in line with Yang Cheng's tactical requirements.

With the 4231 craze set off by Yang Cheng, Bremer has also adjusted Kaiserslautern's tactics in the past two or three seasons and turned it into 451. The two midfielders responsible for organizational and defensive tasks are Kyle and Sven. Bender, Lars Bender was placed in the attacking left midfield position by Bremer.

There is no need to say more about the strength and potential of these two brothers. They received an invitation from Chelsea when they were 16 years old. Ferguson called them when they were 17 years old. At 18 years old, Wenger wanted to sign from Kaiserslautern. But in the end they all chose to stay in Kaiserslautern, a club that has created countless miracles.

Lars Bender is both offensive and defensive. He is characterized by being very comprehensive, active running, and has good skills. He can play in multiple positions. He can not only attack left midfielder, right midfielder, central midfielder, defensive midfielder, and even full-back. , is a rare all-rounder.

Compared to his elder brother, Sven Bender has a more specific characteristic. He is a defensive midfielder. He has made rapid progress under the guidance of Kyle over the years and has excellent physical fitness. However, his defense does not rely solely on his body, but on his body. He relies more on prediction and vision to intercept the opponent's passing line, and he has a solid technical foundation. Once the interception is successful, he can directly and effectively ensure that the ball is not lost, and then pass the ball to his teammates, or even initiate an offense himself. .

Sven Bender played 23 times in the Bundesliga last season and won twice. This is a very impressive result for a defensive midfielder, but this does not mean that he does not contribute to defense. Big, at least Bremer has said many times that Sven Bender is crucial to Kaiserslautern's double midfielder.

Both brothers are regarded as future hopes by German football professionals. They have both been selected for the warm-up matches of Germany and Denmark, and both have made appearances.

But it is obvious that the nature of that warm-up match is almost negligible. It is more like Yang Cheng's inspection of the marginal players of the national team. The selected players are almost all marginal players of the national team, as well as some young players with potential, so those selected A national team is of little significance. What is really important is to be selected for the national team preparing for the European Cup qualifiers in September, which is what the media calls Caesar Phase One. That just makes sense.

While the two brothers were watching the live TV broadcast. The cell phone placed on the sofa far away rang.

The Bender brothers immediately turned around and saw two identical Google phones placed on the table, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right was ringing. That's Sven Bender's cell phone.

Mine! The younger brother jumped over and grabbed the phone. A face seemed to be full of surprise in an instant, Brother, the phone number of the Football Association! He waved his mobile phone vigorously. But he held it firmly. I was afraid that I might accidentally let it go.

When Lars heard this, he was overjoyed and rushed over immediately. Sure enough, he saw that the call was made from the headquarters of the German Football Association.

The last time they were selected for the national team, it was this phone call. For this reason, they specially saved the phone number in their address book. Unexpectedly, I actually called again.

Hurry up and answer the call! Lars said a little sourly, wondering what this call meant. His brother knew it better than anyone else, and he was also worried. If he called his brother first, would he also call himself?

Hello! Sven Bender immediately answered the phone and greeted with a smile.

Hello, I'm Paul Bayer! The person on the other end of the phone responded politely.

One sentence made both brothers excited. No matter who was selected for the national team, it was a happy thing for them. Moreover, Paul Bayer is the number one assistant coach of the current national team coaching staff and is responsible for informing everyone. A national player selected for the squad will also arrange all training matters.

Hello, Mr. Bayer! Sven Bender was trembling.

Congratulations, Mr. Bender, you have been selected for the national team roster at the end of August. I hope you can gather in Frankfurt immediately after the game against Bayern at the end of August. We will start preparing for the European Cup qualifiers. Paul? Bayer said with a more official smile.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Bayer! Sven Bender politely agreed.

Well, then you can come with Ballack and Kyle. Paul Bayer smiled. He also stayed in Kaiserslautern and still has a good impression of the players coming out here.

Okay! Sven Bender responded.

That's it. Prepare everything then. Goodbye! After saying that, Paul Bayer hung up the phone.

YS!!!!! Sven Bender clenched his fists with excitement, rushed over and hugged his eldest brother, I was selected for the first Caesar class, brother, this time I was really selected for the national team. Team up!!”

Lars Bender was a little bitter, but he still managed a smile and nodded towards his brother, Congratulations, Sven!

After Sven Bender got over his excitement, he immediately realized something and patted his elder brother on the shoulder, It's okay, elder brother. Maybe they informed me first and it will be your turn soon!

Lars Bender nodded anxiously, I hope so!

But in fact, the brothers spent the whole night staring at Lars Bender's phone, but it never rang.

This made both brothers feel a little disappointed, especially Lars Bender, because he knew very well that this meant that he failed to be selected for the Caesars, although this does not mean that he will not be selected for the national team from now on. The team was somewhat disappointed, so that the next day, in preparation for the second round of the Bundesliga against Bayern, when the team was conducting familiarization training at the Fritz Walter Stadium, Lars Bender was watching Looking at that side of the Caesar Stand.

The Caesar Stand is not much different from other stands at the Fritz Walter Stadium. The difference is that this stand is an exclusive area for the die-hard Red Devils fans of the Bundesliga. The seats in the stand are red, but each one A crown and Caesar Yang Cheng's name are engraved on the seats to show the club's gratitude and remembrance of Yang Cheng.

Kaiserslautern fans are proud to watch the game in this stand. For them, this stand is the most sacred and inviolable.

Silly, what are you thinking about? Bremer noticed that Lars Bender was a little depressed and walked over.

Nothing, boss! Lars Bender said calmly.

Bremer nodded. He knew something about it, because the German Football Association had already announced the Caesar first-term roster on the official website. Many players who participated in the previous warm-up match roster were missing from this list. , and some are even regular players in the previous national team. But now they are all rejected by Yang Cheng.

When he led Kaiserslautern, our team was full of stars. There were Veron, Nedvěd, Ballack, Lucio, Van Nistelrooy, Deisler... name them. Now. They were all scary, but at that time, they didn’t have much fame, and no one knew that they could become the world’s top superstars after joining Kaiserslautern.”

Lars Bender kept nodding. This is the most admirable thing about Yang Cheng. Because every time he goes to a team, he is always able to cultivate a group of outstanding stars, so many people are proud to play under him.

But many people may not know it. That is that Mr. Yang Cheng has very high requirements for players. You know, many people think that our training intensity is very high, but I dare say that our training intensity is far worse than Real Madrid's. Much more, and this usual gap is reflected on the court, because the strength of the game is accumulated over time, rather than suddenly bursting out.

Mr. Yang Cheng has very high requirements for players. He doesn't like all the players he admires, so you can be selected for the last national team training list. This in itself represents his appreciation and affirmation of you, but you can't Being selected for this national team training list can only mean that you have not done well in some aspects, or you are not good enough.

Having said this, Bremer patted Lars heavily on the shoulder, You are only 21 years old, take your time, there are still a lot of opportunities, but the most important thing is that you have to show your strength and let the people sitting here Take a good look at them in the stands!”

After Lars Bender heard this, he couldn't help but nodded heavily. He felt that Bremer was right. At least the selection of his younger brother Sven Bender showed Yang Cheng's attitude towards young players, and if he was not selected, he must be It's because we haven't done enough in some aspects.

Do a good job, boy, learn more from Ballack, learn more from your predecessors, they all have a lot worth learning, not just football, but also their desire to win and the game. Fighting spirit.”

After saying that, Bremer stopped talking and asked Lars to go back to training. But looking at his back, Bremer couldn't help but think of what Yang Cheng had said to him before.

Today's German team and many German players have sufficient skills and sufficient bodies. It can be said that they have all the qualifications to become top stars, but they always give people the feeling that they are missing something. .

They lack a breath! At that time, Yang Cheng expressed his judgment to Bremer.

They have grown up under a complete system since childhood and received scientific cultivation and education. They are like flowers in a greenhouse, lacking the temper and test of nature. Therefore, although they have excellent skills and have many talents, they are like flowers in a greenhouse. Excellent ability, but it never shines or convinces people.”

Yang Cheng also talked about his worries. He always felt that whether players can complete the transformation from rookies to first-class stars actually depends on this energy. With this energy, they will be hungry for the game. , they will want to show their best side anytime and anywhere and want to kill their opponents, which will spur them to go all out and make progress.

But without this aura, if you have no talent and no skills, you may be talented when you are young, but as you mature and grow with age, you will gradually disappear from everyone.

Compared with top teams like Spain and Italy, the German team is actually only this far behind!

When Yang Cheng said this, Bremer had a clear feeling. Because he coaches in the Bundesliga, he is very aware of the current situation in the Bundesliga. Although they all respect technology and precision and emphasize overall and off-the-ball movement, in reality A common problem among Bundesliga teams is the loss of high morale.

Look at the competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams in the Champions League over the years. Although there is a gap in the overall ability of the team, is there no problem in fighting spirit? Isn't there a spiritual factor?

More than ten years ago, you brought a bright hope to football in this country. More than ten years later, I hope you can bring great character to football in this country, just like you did when you created Kaiserslautern! Bremer sighed rather sadly.

He also understands that the reason why Yang Cheng recruited Ballack again has little significance on the competitive level. The key is on the spiritual level. After all, Ballack represents more than just the football field. His fighting spirit and unremitting efforts are the key to the current team. What the German national team needs and lacks is the reason why Yang Cheng called up Ballack.

It is foreseeable that as the character of this German team gradually takes shape, Yang Cheng will gradually send Ballack, Deisler, Kyle and other veterans out of the national team, and then recruit more young rookies, and then Let the entire German national team be full of combat effectiveness, full of passion and desire to win.

These are what Yang Cheng is best at. From Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan, to Liverpool, and then to Real Madrid, he can always make those teams that have fallen into the wrong direction shine again and again. , I hope he can do the same in Germany this time.

Thinking of this, Bremer couldn't help but have expectations and curiosity about the future of Caesar's version of the German national team. He really wanted to know how Yang Cheng would transform the current German team. After all, this team has no spiritual level. On the tactical level, there are equally many advantages and disadvantages.

When he is good, he is very good, but when he is bad, he is very bad. How to bring out his good side and cover up his bad side is undoubtedly a big test of Yang Cheng's tactical ability. Moreover, this is not a club. You can sign and transfer. This is the national team and can only be adjusted within the existing personnel framework.

There is no doubt that the latter is much more difficult than the former.
