Super Coach

\u003e Jurgen, many people say that you are the pioneer of the tactical reform of the German national team, and Loew has taken a step further after you. You can be said to be of the same strain. So, I believe all fans would like to hear it. In your mind, what is the big difference between Yang Cheng’s German national team and the national team in your mind?”

This was when the German team tied with the US team 3:3 at home. German reporters went to interview Jurgen, the head coach of the US national team and the former head coach of the German national team? Klinsmann, now the golden bomber, lives in the United States all year round and is ridiculed by many fans for being an American.

Perhaps seeing that Klinsmann was hesitant and thinking about something, the reporter quickly asked another question, Or, we can look at it this way, you led the US team to a 3:3 away draw in Europe. The German team that has won the Cup and World Cup, can you talk about the strengths and weaknesses of this team?

Klinsmann smiled like an American politician, I think the draw in this game can actually be seen as an attempt by Yang Cheng to some extent. I really think, He is trying something new in this game, a brand new idea!”

Can you tell me more specifically? the reporter asked.

I originally told my players before the game to pay attention to the pressure on the German team after the ball enters the half, because the German team's shortcomings are very obvious. The defense players are very tall and have excellent frontal defense capabilities, but they are slow to turn. The speed of pursuit is slow. This has prevented him from moving the defense line and key pressing areas forward in the past.

But in this game, I found a very special place, that is, the German team's defense began to try to press forward. I can understand this approach. Because as Germany's reputation and strength increase, more and more players Opponents will definitely adopt a conservative stance when facing the German team.

When the opponent shrinks the defense and starts to counterattack consciously and purposefully, the German team's problem is very obvious. That is, they must press forward, and Yang Cheng must come up with new solutions to solve it. The risk issue after the team presses.

After hearing this, the reporter couldn't help but affirm, According to what you said, Yang Cheng must have failed to solve this series of problems. Does this mean that you personally are not optimistic about the future and prospects of the German team in the European Cup? ?”

After Klinsmann listened. He couldn't help but laugh and shook his head repeatedly, Don't say that!

Yang Cheng once supported Klinsmann's re-election, which made Klinsmann very grateful to him. Moreover, Klinsmann himself admitted that his coaching style, especially in terms of scientific training, is He was directly influenced by Yang Cheng, so he specifically chose to go to the United States to further his studies.

All the time.

Klinsmann admires Yang Cheng's tactics and person very much, so he will not be fooled by reporters.

I think Germany's current situation is very embarrassing. You say he is strong. He is indeed very strong. He can achieve some good-looking and good-sounding victories against some opponents, especially under the coaching of Yang Cheng. He was trained to be very sharp, but if you say he is weak, he is indeed very weak.

In today's German football, if you want to find a convincing central defender, it is really difficult. Kyle has no problem with his ability, but his body is a big hidden danger, so Yang Cheng's choice of central defender It can even be said that there are no good choices. Badstuber, Mertesacker and Hummels are undoubtedly good candidates, but their shortcomings are very similar and there is no complementarity. Arguably, even Jérôme Boateng, who he tried.

I discovered this problem during the game, so we tightened our defense and counterattacked, and the results were accurate. I believe Yang Cheng himself is very aware of the problem, but for the time being, he does not have an effective solution, because His options are there, he doesn't have players to pick from.

When the reporter heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, Yang Cheng's good friend Glen Nack once joked that if Yang Cheng was given Thiago Silva, the German team would become the number one favorite in the European Cup.

Who knows, Klinsmann shook his head vigorously, No, you don't need Thiago Silva, give him Kompany, the German team will be very good, the latter's performance in Belgium is really eye-catching, Yang Cheng He has developed an outstanding centre-back!

Many reporters said that this was a chaotic game. What do you personally think? the reporter asked again.

Klinsmann put on his iconic politician smile again, Of course it will be more chaotic, but I think Yang Cheng should gain something from this game. He will see some reporters, and even we won't be able to see it. problem.

So, you still have full confidence in Yang Cheng? the reporter asked again.

Klinsmann nodded, Yes, there is no doubt that I am his fan and die-hard supporter. I firmly believe that he has and is still bringing some more positive changes to the German national team. He hopes to play in this team. Success with the national team.”

Tell me more specifically! the reporter encouraged.

Klinsmann nodded, Let's put it this way, when I first accepted the German team, Loew and I knew very well that if we wanted to change the aging German team in the past, we had to inject something new, so we We attach great importance to the speed of transition between offense and defense, because we all know that to achieve good results, we must play defensive counterattacks.”

Didn't you just ask, what's the difference between the German team run by Yang Cheng and the German team under Loew and I? I think the biggest difference is that he doesn't need to count with a stopwatch like Loew and I did. He doesn’t need to do that to judge the team’s passing and counterattack times and use them to judge whether the team’s offense is improving.”

I have said that since I took charge of the German team, I think the best thing about Germany is the quick counterattack after stealing the ball. Many people have said that Loew and I, especially Loew, play offensive football. In fact, I don’t think it is entirely true. Because the German team during Loew’s period also still positioned itself as a weak player.”

I think a very important reason for Loew's failure is that he lacks the consciousness of a strong man. Even I don't have it. But Yang Cheng has a strong consciousness of being a strong man. He was born to be synonymous with victory. , he has brought out invincible teams across Europe and the world. He was born to be strong, and his purpose is to conquer and defeat opponents.

So even though the German team under Loew has scored a lot of goals. But in fact, if you pay attention to analyze deeper things, you will find that in fact Loew's team's attack method is more of a quick counterattack. Husband’s team rarely actively adopts pressing tactics.”

But Yang Cheng is different. He asked the players to work hard as soon as he came. He said that he would win the World Cup in 2014 and positioned himself as a strong and superior person. Other opponents were not as good as him, which also meant that he The positioning of the German team is more about proactively defeating opponents and saying goodbye to the weak mentality of the past.

Assuming that the German team was able to win a big victory in the past, it was by actively showing weakness, giving the opponent the illusion and taking the initiative to attack, thereby creating loopholes. The German team then seizes the loopholes to counterattack, but if the opponent is too strong or does not expose the loopholes, Even if the German team fails to seize the loopholes, the German team's offense will become useless.

We played Spain in the 2008 European Cup final. The German team had almost no power to fight back. In fact, it was because Spain was too strong, and also because the German team's mentality caused them to be passive in all aspects from the beginning, and then they were surprisingly controlled. Spain was completely overwhelmed and unable to recover, a bit similar to last season's Champions League final, when Real Madrid suppressed Chelsea, a classic!

From Klinsmann's tone, it is not difficult to hear his appreciation and admiration for Yang Cheng.

But Yang Cheng is not prepared to take the route that Loew and I did. He positions the team and himself on the strong side, adopts an active pressing attack, and actively invests troops in the offense. No matter whether the opponent has loopholes or not, I will Play the football I want to play. If you have loopholes, I will exploit your loopholes. If you don’t have loopholes, I will try my best to create loopholes for you, and then I will exploit your loopholes to hit you!

Perhaps on the surface, the German team's tactics seem to be the same, but in fact this fundamental reform is equivalent to completely rebuilding the German team. And facts have proved that with the joining of Yang Cheng, More and more opponents will adopt a relatively weak posture to face Germany, so Yang Cheng's tactical play is very worthy of recognition.

The reporter secretly smiled in his heart. After all, he was a football head coach. When he introduced his area of ​​expertise, he was somewhat eloquent and couldn't hold back his momentum. From Klinsmann's words, he could tell that the Golden Bomber was very interested in Yang. Cheng gave high praise for his current coaching, but there was still a bit of worry in his words.

Do you think the German team has a chance in next year's European Cup? the reporter asked the last question.

Klinsmann thought for a while and nodded: There is definitely a chance, but I think the favorite is Spain. If the German team wins the championship, it will be an upset. But what I want to say is that even if this European Cup, the German team did not win the championship, and Yang Cheng should not be blamed in any way, because this is not his problem at all, but the team's own problem.

This is a bit like defending Yang Cheng! the reporter laughed.

Klinsmann shook his head, I still hope to see the German team upset!

…………

…………

Klinsmann's exclusive interview allowed German fans, and even fans around the world, to get a new understanding of Yang Cheng's German national team, which seems to have not improved much, but has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Many international players have come out before and said that the national team is completely different from the past, but there are still many people who refuse to believe it. But now when it comes from Klinsmann, the effect is unbelievable.

After playing a warm-up game with the American team, Yang Cheng led the team to the Netherlands and played a warm-up match with the Netherlands. As a result, the German team defeated the Dutch 3:0 and won a wonderful victory.

In this game, Yang Cheng did not completely negate the changes and adjustments made in the previous warm-up match, but in the midfield, Yang Cheng lined up a combination of Toni Kroos, Sven Bender and Bastian Schweinsteiger. , coupled with Toni Kroos and Ozil, make the German team's midfield control very strong.

Especially commendable. In this game, Yang Cheng asked Thomas Muller and Ozil to play on the wings, and Toni Kroos to play as the attacking midfielder, but the position was relatively retracted. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sven Bender formed a double. Lower back. This allowed the German team's midfield to operate very smoothly.

Bayern Munich's creative combination is in perfect harmony, especially Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger, who work very well together in the midfield. It is estimated that this is what they have accumulated in their daily life, at least Yang Cheng has heard about it. Whether in Bayern or in the German national team, if Bastian Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos form a partnership to play poker, it can be said that they are invincible. No one can win against them, which shows the high level of tacit understanding.

On the defense line, the combination of Lahm, Badstuber, Mertesacker and Jerome Boateng also showed a stable side, but this is also different from the fact that the Dutch team's starting forward is Huntela. It has a lot to do with you. The Dutch forward is a relatively traditional center. More in line with the taste of the German team.

The real test of the solidity of the German team's defense will actually come when they encounter forwards like Robben, Villa, Aguero, Ronaldinho and Messi. However, the Netherlands did not have Robben and Messi in this game. Van Persie has also hidden Van der Vaart, so it can only be said that they are a Dutch second team, which is not very convincing.

However, Klose's consecutive goals still showed the steady side of the German forward, and everyone agreed. In the European Cup, as long as he is not injured or sick, Klose is still Yang Cheng's first choice.

After the two rounds of play-offs, the last four qualifying teams were also announced, based on the total score and relying on Ronaldinho's hat trick. They eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina with a total score of 6:2 and successfully entered the European Cup finals.

Hiddink's Turkey first lost to Croatia 0:3 at home, and then drew 0:0 with Croatia in the away game. In the end, there was no hope of reaching the finals. Hiddink was dismissed by the Turkish Football Association.

Ireland eliminated Estonia with a total score of 5:1 in two rounds, and the Czech Republic defeated Montenegro 3:0. Both teams reached the finals.

After completing the play-offs, UEFA immediately held a draw ceremony in Kiev.

As the head coach of the German team, Yang Cheng, accompanied by Niersbach, appeared at the Ukrainian Palace to participate in the draw ceremony. The arrival of Caesar also excited Ukrainian fans. Thousands of fans gathered in Ukraine Outside the palace, they were waiting for Yang Cheng's arrival. When they saw their idol, they burst into an uproar. The scene made countless head coaches present envious and jealous.

Although the German team has a brilliant record in the past, it is not as good as the Netherlands in terms of points. The latter, together with the two major hosts Spain, Poland and Ukraine, became the first team in the draw. The German team was in the first pot of the draw with Italy, England and Russia. In the second tier, Croatia, Greece, Portugal and Sweden are in the third tier, and Denmark, France, the Czech Republic and Ireland are in the fourth tier.

It was Yang Cheng's first time to participate in the European Cup draw ceremony. As soon as he saw the bracket list above, he felt surprised, because he always felt that if the draw was based on such points, from each bracket If you draw a team to form a group, it will easily be a group of death.

Of course, in fact, it can be said that almost every one of the top 16 teams in the European Cup is a strong team. This means that no matter how the draws are drawn, there will always be some strong dialogues. So Yang Cheng is not surprised at all, but if If the opponent is too strong, it will definitely affect his plan.

At least, he must ensure that the team is in good shape as soon as possible in the early stages of the cup, otherwise, no matter how good their physical fitness is, it will be useless.

The sad thing is that Yang Cheng is obviously not favored by the goddess of fate this time. As a second-tier team, the chance of the German team encountering Poland and Ukraine is about the same as the chance of encountering the Netherlands and Spain. But unlucky The German team met the Spanish team. Doesn't this mean that the German team is sent to the crater?

The strongest team in the third tier is undoubtedly Portugal, and the European Cup Organizing Committee does not seem to be afraid of the death group at all. They drew Portugal into Group B where the German team is, which undoubtedly made everyone in the audience excited. There was an uproar, especially when the teams in the fourth pot were drawn, everyone just wanted to shout, this lottery is really deadly.

Spain, Germany, Portugal and France, this group of four teams is really dead, because all four teams are very good. The team in the fourth tier of points is France, but you know, France is in In the qualifiers, they defeated many teams including Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, etc., and advanced to the top of the group. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, to be honest, Spain is the number one favorite and Germany is the second favorite. This is tantamount to the final starting early. Portugal and France are also the favorites to win the European Cup. Now that they are put together, it is undoubtedly a huge tragedy. Destroyed, there may even be the possibility of dying together.

The French team has always been very difficult to deal with, they are very good, and they are now full of desire for honors. Such a team is enough to give any team a headache. As for Portugal, they are also very good, let alone Spain. !”

After the draw ceremony, Yang Cheng was interviewed by reporters and admitted that the draw had indeed created a huge problem for the German team, but he also expressed his very strong self-confidence.

But for me, this draw is a very ideal result, because I have been worried before that my team will not be able to meet Spain. I want to avenge the shame of the South Africa World Cup finals, and I want to take revenge. So I'm very grateful to the luck that allowed us to meet Spain early.

And this time, I will not let Spain have the last laugh. We hope that the best result is to step on Spain's corpse and qualify from the group. To me, that is simply wonderful! Yang Cheng predicted jokingly.

But will things really go as he expected?
