Super Coach

\u003e After the first round, or should I say the second round of La Liga in the new season, the strength and weakness of the team is already obvious.

Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 6-0 in an away game. This has undoubtedly sounded the clarion call for the La Liga championship. Zaragoza is not a weak team. This team has been a strong team in La Liga for many years. Its strength itself is not weak, and it is home. In battle, Real Madrid was able to win a bloodbath 6:0, and there is no need to say more about their strength.

Valencia narrowly defeated Racing Santander 4:3 at home, Atletico Madrid tied Osasuna 0:0 at home, Falcao, who Manzano had high hopes for, failed to save the sheet, while Sevilla lost 2: 1 reversed Malaga, Barcelona defeated Villarreal 2:0 at home.

After this round of games, Real Madrid ranked first in La Liga with a big victory. Although Barcelona ranked second, the game against Villarreal's 900 Boot Room Culture was thrilling, and even to some extent Said it was a narrow victory.

Everyone has also predicted that Real Madrid is still the favorite to win the La Liga championship this season.

If they win the championship again this season, Real Madrid will successfully complete six consecutive championships in La Liga. This is undoubtedly a great feat that has never been seen in the history of La Liga. Coupled with three consecutive Champions League championships, this will undoubtedly make Real Madrid become Spain, and even the best. The most powerful team in football history may not even be able to use one.

After the second round of La Liga, Yang Cheng took the coaching staff to Germany.

After a previous round of rectification, Yang Cheng's German national team has now made great progress in discipline. And as the European Cup is approaching, the advantages of the qualifiers are obvious, and Yang Cheng has gradually begun to enter the preparation stage.

As early as the end of August, Yang Cheng asked Paul? Bayer announced the new national team roster on the official website of the German Football Association, and asked Paul Bayer to call the players respectively. It can be said that from now on, Yang Cheng will enter the selection stage of the European Cup lineup, so His training roster this time has also attracted much attention.

The three goalkeepers are Neuer, Adler and Wiese. There is not much suspense. Neuer has completely established himself in the national team. And in 900 Boot Room Culture, he switched to Bayern Munich this summer and became a member of the Bayern Gang of the national team. He is truly the number one goalkeeper of the national team.

Yang Cheng also has high hopes for Neuer, and Di Palma has a standard goalkeeper's physique for him. The new generation of German goalkeepers who do not have too obvious flaws also attach great importance to them. In Di Palma's view, Neuer and Adler will be the most powerful and potential goalkeepers among the new generation of German goalkeepers, enough to take on important tasks in the future.

There are also some old faces in the defense, including Lahm, Jerome Boateng, Badstuber, Tresch, Mertesacker, Hummels, Kyle and Schmelzer. Dortmund The left back is a player Yang Cheng called into the team and wants to focus on inspecting.

He wants to try out more full-back options.

The German team does not have the tactics similar to Real Madrid's. The defense cannot be pushed too far forward, otherwise, the slow turn alone will be enough to completely collapse the German defense. Therefore, in Yang Cheng's plan, the German team must pay attention to the participation of full-backs in the attack.

The midfield candidates are Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Toni Kroos, Gotze, Deisler, Sven Bender, Lars Bender, and the most eye-catching one is Heady. Khedira was re-selected into the national team training list. This was more than half a year after Khedira was kicked out of the squad by Yang Cheng. Selected again for the national team training camp.

Yang Cheng has always paid more attention to Khedira, because in his opinion, Khedira is a player with equally obvious advantages and disadvantages. The key is to see how to use it and whether he can get rid of his shortcomings.

There is no suspense on the front line. Klose, Gomez, Thomas Muller and Podolski, these four players have all been selected for the national team again.

By the way, Ballack, who is injured, previously announced through Kaiserslautern's official website that he will retire from football after this season, but this time, Yang Cheng still took him with him. He is in the national team, but he is not on the training list. Instead, he serves as his own assistant.

Media around the world are full of praise for the friendship between Yang Cheng and Ballack, because Ballack was single-handedly promoted by Yang Cheng. Ballack was among the first players under Yang Cheng's leadership, and the latter was also led by Yang Cheng. Next, he entered professional football.

Now more than ten years have passed, but Ballack and Yang Cheng have announced that they will retire at the same time. This makes people feel sad, but it is also a good talk.

However, unlike Ballack who is retiring, Yang Cheng is only retiring from the professional league. He will then devote himself wholeheartedly to the job of head coach of the German national team. Yang Cheng undoubtedly hopes that Ballack can continue to stay in the German national team. Team.

The German national team has always had a little-known tradition, which is a boot room culture similar to Liverpool.

From far away in 1926, Nelz became the first head coach in the history of the German team. Later, Herberg was Nelz's assistant. Herberg's assistant, Schorn, inherited Herberg's position. Later, De Waal, Beckenbauer and Vogts all inherited the same boot room culture.

Either the assistant of the former coach or the former international player, these are the two main sources of the German national team head coach. Among them, there are even players like Voller who have just retired and have not even coached a formal game, and then directly jumped to the national team. The former star of the team's head coach.

From Klinsmann to Loew, they have maintained the boot room culture to the greatest extent, but it is obvious that with Yang Cheng, drastic changes have taken place in German football.

First of all, Yang Cheng is the first non-German head coach, and he is neither a former star nor a former assistant, but he is the most influential head coach in Germany in the past ten years and has fully promoted Germany's development. He reformed the youth training system and played a decisive role in international football. He is known as the godfather of German football.

Because of this series of reasons, all German fans affirmed and recognized Yang Cheng's coaching of the German national team, and no one would doubt the loss of boot room culture. On the contrary, they all had high hopes for Yang Cheng and hoped that he would It can revitalize the spirit and style of the German national team and return the flabby German team coached by Loew to its tradition.

Loew's contribution to the German national team deserves recognition, but the problem is that he has never been able to lead the current German team to complete its transformation. His coaching style and personality make him destined to become a tragic figure forever, and his previous So there is no way to control the German team's locker room. A very important reason is that he is afraid.

He is afraid of individuality, afraid of pricking his head, afraid of resistance. In Loew's world, he hopes that everyone in the German team will be law-abiding, mediocre, and preferably have no personality, be weirdly obedient, and get along well with each other. Therefore, he cannot tolerate people like Ballack and Frings. Personality player.

Glenn Nack once said something in his column. The German team under Loew cannot play Beckenbauer!

Why?

The reason is simple, personality!

Look at how awesome the football emperor was back then. Head coach Sean didn't trust him to play as a free agent, so he tried his best to convince Sean to agree. In the 1974 World Cup, when they lost to East Germany in the group stage, Beckenbauer directly deprived him of it. Taking over the command of head coach Sean. He denounced the performance of his teammates, drew up his own tactics and starting lineup, and then went on TV to explain it all to the public.

This was at the time. Both inside and outside the national team, there was great doubt and even opposition to Beckenbauer's actions. But in the end, he led the team to win the championship and the Hercules Cup. This is the role of a leader at critical moments. !

Look at the later Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bremer, Effenberg, Kahn, and now Ballack, they are all boss-level figures who stick to their word, but all of this All after Barak got slapped. Completely gone!

In Germany, football is faith and war, players are soldiers, captains are officers, soldiers' bounden duty is to obey orders, and soldiers rebel against officers. That was a huge event, but Loew downplayed it easily, which led to the complete collapse of the culture in the German locker room and the captain's status and authority plummeted.

There is a saying that goes well, destruction is always easier and faster than construction.

Yang Cheng wants to reorganize the German team's locker room culture and revive the team's style of play. This is destined to be a long-term battle and cannot be accomplished overnight, so he hopes to Keeping Ballack is not only a consideration for the current national team, but also for the future.

Therefore, on the first day of arriving at the German national team training camp, as soon as Yang Cheng saw Ballack, his first sentence was to ask Ballack straight to the point, What are you going to do after you retire?

The latter was obviously confused. His agent once advised him to retire in leagues such as the United States, China or Qatar, but he did not want to play football just for money, so he rejected the proposal. , but he really didn’t know what he wanted to do specifically.

After playing football for more than ten years, he suddenly had to retire. He was a little scared and confused and didn't know what to do.

Have you ever thought about going over to receive coaching training and take a coaching certificate? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Me? Barak was surprised at first, then laughed, Boss, please stop teasing me. With my personality, is this okay?

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, Character has always been a double-edged sword. The key is to see whether you control it or whether it controls you!

Besides, I have always believed that all outstanding talents must have great personalities, but those with outstanding charisma have extraordinary personalities, because only those with strong personalities can be infectious. The people around you will lead to a team with personality!”

Loew is afraid of individuality, because the individuality of Ballack and others makes him feel pressure and makes him feel that as a head coach, he lacks a say in the locker room. But Yang Cheng is not afraid. He brought Ballack out of it all by himself, and he has Confident enough to control this fierce horse and control the entire locker room.

Retire after the European Cup, leave the court, put on a suit and sportswear, and come to the coaching bench to help me manage the locker room! Yang Cheng walked up to Ballack and encouraged with a smile.

Ballack raised his head and looked at the serious Yang Cheng. He knew that the boss was not joking today, and he had some ideas in his mind. After all, entering the national team's locker room might be a good way out.

Once he retires, he doesn't need to worry about money, but he can't just do nothing. With his current situation, he will either work as a commentator on a TV station, write a column, or join the Kaiserslautern Club. Work, but these are not what he wants.

The suggestions made by Yang Cheng were very suitable to his taste. He didn't leave football, it wasn't very hard, and he could learn things under Yang Cheng's hands. This is really a good choice for Ballack.

Don't answer me so quickly, I'll give you enough time to think about it! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

For the time being, everything is going smoothly for the national team. At present, all the little guys have been tortured by him. Bastian Schweinsteiger has gradually shown some sense of responsibility and responsibility. Lahm has also assumed the responsibility of the team captain. With these two players as the core, Coupled with the fact that many players in the team are from Bayern, everything in the national team is developing in a good direction.

But as Sacchi said, it is far from challenging Spain. There is still a long, long way to go!

Yang Cheng must build this German team into shape as soon as possible in the remaining year. Otherwise, the German team will continue to suffer in next year's European Cup and continue to live in the shadow of Spain!

…………

…………

In the game against Austria, Yang Cheng continued to play with the full lineup.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the defense is Lahm, Kyle, Hummels and Jerome Boateng. The double defensive midfielders are still Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sven Bender, the attacking midfielders are Thomas Muller, Ozil and Deisler respectively, and the lone forward is Klose. There are a total of 7 players from Bayern Munich in it.

Bayern Munich, trained by Pellegrini, advocates a fast attack, which is very close to Yang Cheng's requirements. This also makes the current German team formed with Bayern Munich players as a team, and the running-in is much easier. , the players' cooperation with each other becomes more skillful and tacit.

In the match against Austria, the German team relied on its overall strength advantage to easily defeat Austria 6:1 at home. Then with an impressive record of 7 wins from 7 games, the German team advanced from the group ahead of schedule. Became the first European team to enter the European Cup in Ukraine and Poland.

But three days later, the team challenged Belgium away from home. Germany, which had already qualified early, drew 1:1 with Belgium in the away game. Although Gotze scored the winning goal for the German team, Belgium equalized the score in the second half. This made Yang Cheng very dissatisfied.

Yang Cheng in the away game against Belgium. The center backs were rotated, with Badstuber and Hummels partnering as a center back combination. Mertesacker was not in good condition after being injured and failed to get a chance to play in two consecutive games.

Schmelzer and Tresch formed the full-backs, Khedira and Toni Kroos formed the double midfielder, Lars Bender, Gotze and Podolski formed the attacking midfielder, and Gomez occupied the lone forward.

Judging from the course of the game, Gotze was eye-catching. The 19-year-old youngster showed excellent competitive status and personal strength. At that time, after Toni Kroos got the ball from the midfield, he suddenly decided to dribble the ball forward. Pushing forward, he inserted into the edge of the penalty area, and Gotze quickly moved forward to the goal. With a gentle rub of his instep, he scored the ball into the Belgian goal.

This attack came from the cooperation between the two young players. Yang Cheng was full of praise for the performance of Gotze and Toni Kroos.

Tony is a very talented player. He can play as an attacking midfielder, midfielder or even a defensive midfielder. He will be the future leader of the German team. I firmly believe this, but the key still depends on whether he can Maintain self-discipline and work hard to improve your own strength and level.

Götze is a rookie with great potential. I have watched a series of his performances in the league and I am convinced that he will play an important role in the German team in the future.

But while giving affirmation and encouragement, Yang Cheng also did not forget to give a big stick.

Among their peers, Toni Kroos and Gotze are both outstanding. There is no doubt that, but in two years and five years, we will look back and see if they are the best. Can we maintain this momentum? This is the key!

Football has never lacked young talents, but not all young talents can eventually become talents. I hope that a large number of young players such as Toni Kroos, Gotze, and Thomas Muller can continue to maintain a good mentality and continue to If they maintain the momentum of progress, I believe they will soon become the backbone of German football!

However, Yang Cheng seemed dissatisfied with the defense.

I'm very lucky that we only conceded one goal, and we were very lucky and didn't lose the game!

Defense has obviously become a big problem for the German team!

Kyle has good strength, but injuries have begun to increase, and he is not young. Mertesacker suffered injuries after moving to Arsenal, and his condition has never recovered. Yang Cheng used Badstuber and Hummels. combination, but the two have never been able to form enough tacit understanding.

As Friedrich, Metzelder and others gradually fade out of the national team, Yang Cheng is gradually promoting some players who meet his requirements to take on important tasks, and the metabolism of the national team's central defender is also a must. It has undoubtedly become a major hidden danger.

Of course, the draw against Belgium had a lot to do with Yang Cheng's extensive rotation of the player lineup. He hoped to test the substitute lineup and the thickness of the bench through this kind of game, and the result was also It shows that there are also players on the German team's bench who are capable of impacting the main lineup.

Gotze is still young and cannot compete with Ozil for the time being, but Podolski is in very good form recently, whether in the club or the national team, and he has a better scoring ability. On the other hand, Deisler has been in very good shape recently. His condition has declined a lot. After all, he is indeed quite old. Once there are too many injuries, his condition will easily decline.

The harvest from this game is very rich. He told us the fact that before the European Cup, we still have a lot of important work that must be completed!

Therefore, after finishing this European Cup qualifying match, Yang Cheng did not choose to return to Madrid, but went straight to his alma mater, the University of Leipzig!
