844 The birthplace of all offense and defense

On the evening of August 27, 2010, the Fritz? Walter Stadium. (_&book&bar)

In this crucial battle in the second round of the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern relied on Lars? Bender and midfielder Sebastian? Kyle's goal defeated the visiting Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich 2-0 and won two consecutive wins at the beginning of the new season.

One of them, Lars, who is the team's main left wing-back? Bender became the brightest star of the game, and he helped the Bundesliga Red Devils defeat formidable opponents with one pass and one shot, which also made Lars? Bender was voted Man of the Match, and in the round-the-game round, Lars? Bender said he hopes to use his performance to earn a ticket to the national team.

"I am very eager to have the opportunity to play under Mr. Yang Cheng, he is the greatest manager in the history of Kaiserslautern and the pride of Kaiserslautern, I have listened to his story since I was a child, I want to be his player and I am willing to do everything to do it!" Lars? Bender said with a resolute expression.

"I firmly believe that this defeat is a test for me, I will not be discouraged by this, I will prove my strength with my best performance, and I hope to be selected for the next national team squad!"

With Lars? Bend the same, brother Sven? Bender also said that he will do his best to ensure that he has a firm foothold in the national team.

"I've already talked to my brother, I'll get acquainted with everything in the national team and wait for him to come!"

And for Lars? Bender's outstanding performance in this game, the national team's number one assistant coach sitting in the stands, Paul? Bayer also spoke highly of him, "This is a great player who can play both offensively and defensively, he is still young, he still has very good potential, and I firmly believe that he will be selected for the national team one day." ”

"Why didn't he make the cut this time?" Paul? Bayer shook his head, "It's definitely not a matter of strength, because the national team has 23 people in training, and we have to take into account the staffing." Considering the choice of players in each position, so after much deliberation, we didn't end up with Lars? Bend. ”

"But Yang Cheng and I are both interested in Lars? Bender appreciates it so much, that's why I'm here in this game. And his performance really caught my eye, and I hope he can keep it up like that! ”

In addition to a number of internationals and players in the Kaiserslautern squad, Paul? Bayer also put forward some opinions on Bayern's players, thinking that Bayern's midfield did a poor job in this game and did not suppress Kaiserslautern's midfielder well. Bender's interception prowess was excellent, and his back pair with Kyle kept Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel at bay. This is the key to victory for Kaiserslautern.

Teenager Bad Stubert was also disappointing in the game, Paul? Beyer didn't say anything about this, he just said that Bad Stuber is a very promising youngster to be liked, and the same is true for Tony, who didn't come off the bench? Kloss, the playmaker's quality and talent are also worthy of recognition.

After this round of league play, Kaiserslautern and Bayern Munich were both disbanded on the spot. There are a total of Ballack, Kyle, Sven in both teams? Bend, Bout, Lahm, Bad Stubert, Schweinsteiger, Deisler, Thomas? Muller, Gomez, Tony? Kloss and more than a dozen other internationals went to Eintracht Frankfurt together.

However, Yang Cheng will not be able to arrive in Frankfurt until the evening of the 30th, because Real Madrid has participated in the UEFA Super Cup. As a result, Real Madrid's first round of the league has been postponed to the evening of August 30, so he will not be able to travel to Eintracht Frankfurt to meet the national team until the first round of matches at the earliest.

However, regarding training, Yang Cheng has already talked to Paul? Bayer has communication and tacit understanding, and Tim? Coaches such as Hank and Mulenstin have also been preparing in Frankfurt, so there are no problems in training. In addition to some brand-name suitcases provided by sponsors and new Adidas national team uniforms and training uniforms, there is also a tactical book that Yang Cheng has sold very hotly, a mobile football field. **!Book. Bar*

Interestingly, each book is folded on the same page, and it is clear that the national team coaching staff wants everyone to take a look at the page.

Speaking of Germany. All people have a strict and rigid impression of the country, and there are many people who laugh at the lack of imagination and creativity of the Germans, which I don't think.

I come from China, a country with thousands of years of civilization, and the thousands of years of civilization in my homeland have taught me to look at other countries and other civilizations with a more inclusive mindset. I think that although the Germans are rigorous and many people are indeed very rigid, they are highly logical and critical, and these are not factors that stifle creativity and imagination.

There were some civilizations in Germany, which I am not familiar with and understand, but I know German football.

When many people talk about German football, their first impression is that the German chariot is the kicking machine, from a personal point of view, I don't like both of these titles, the latter is purely a disparaging term for German football by some fans, and the former is not necessarily a praise, and even many German fans think that the typical example of German football at its peak is the German chariot.

I can't accept such a statement, because I have enough evidence that German football has never lacked creativity.

My good friend Arsene Wenger once told me that in the early 70s, when he was just a little ghost, he was studying economics at the University of Strasbourg, but he would go to Germany every weekend to watch football, and he was obsessed with Borussia Mönchengladbach's football, he said, "At that time, Borussia Mönchengladbach played a refreshing kind of all-attacking and all-defensive football!" ”

It's a familiar argument, because everyone thinks that all the offense and defense seem to come from the Netherlands, which is synonymous with Dutch football, and belongs to the Dutch football philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation, from Michels to Cruyff to Louis van Gaal.

In fact, in the late 60s and 70s of the last century, there were two important birthplaces for the birth of European all-attack and all-defense football, one was the Netherlands, and the other was West Germany at that time, and these two birthplaces of all-attack and all-defense directly created the glory of European football at that time, and Dutch football won 4 Champions League championships in a row from 70 years. The triple title of Feyenoord and Ajax respectively created a glorious period for Dutch football.

But 74 years later, Bayern Munich also won three consecutive championships in one go, and Bayern at that time had a super center forward like Muller. More importantly, at the back, a whole new type of player was interpreted, Beckenbauer, my best friend, who ushered in the libero era.

Cruyff's Holland is all about attacking and defending, but in my opinion, Beckenbauer's Bayern and Germany are also all about attacking and defending. Even to some extent, the latter's all-out attack and defense are more thorough.

At that time, the Netherlands' all-attack and all-defense were more in the midfield, but Germany's all-attack and all-defense were launched from the center back, which directly drove the three lines of the whole team.

When I say this, I don't mean to say who is better or who is better. The jury is out of the question, but I would like to say that German football has been sticking to its direction and path over the years. But what remains unchanged is that they always advocate the whole, advocating teamwork, and this football gene has been deeply rooted in their bones, and it can even be said that it has penetrated into all aspects of society. ..., if in the field of the national team, which team is most likely to play all-attacking football, I don't think it's the Netherlands, I don't think it's Brazil and Argentina, I'm the two most optimistic teams, Spain and Germany!

When the German internationals held this book of "Mobile Football Field" in their hands one by one and turned the folded page. One by one, they couldn't help but read it attentively, especially the beginning of Yang Cheng's chapter, which directly gave German football high praise.

Regarding the statement that German football also played all-attack and defense back then, and even said that it was one of the two birthplaces of all-attack and all-defense, the German internationals were a little confused, because they were not very impressed by it. One might even say that nothing is known.

There are a lot of people who listen to the full attack and defense, and fans all over the world regard the full attack and defense as a symbol of Dutch football, but Yang Cheng said that the full attack and defense also have part of the credit of German football, which makes this group of German internationals feel surprised and surprised, and they are a little proud in their hearts.

Who is Yang Cheng? He said yes, then there must be!

With Yang Cheng's influence and status today, if there is no real evidence, he will not talk nonsense, and this book has been published and listed, if there is a problem, the Dutch football experts must have turned the world upside down, but there is not much movement, which proves that the content of this book is true.

"I didn't expect that we still have such a football tradition!" Tony? Cross said with a smile.

Continue to read, the more I read it, the more I feel it, because this chapter of Yang Cheng's book is mainly to introduce the concept of all-attack and all-defense, as well as his understanding of all-attack and all-defense. Klose and others were very interested, especially the series of in-depth football philosophies, which made them all very rewarding.

The player's perspective is different from the manager's perspective, Yang Cheng's view of the football game is to stand on a higher place and overlook, he sees the overall situation, but the players are playing on the football field, what they feel and see is the details, a small part of the game.

Now, using the players' minds to experience some of the ideas and ideas that Yang Cheng has seen and expressed as a head coach will undoubtedly help them to understand Yang Cheng and his football more deeply.

For example, Yang Cheng mentioned that in the current football environment, the most important thing is to improve the running without the ball, and through the active running of mobility, constantly interspersed and pulled back and forth, tearing apart the opponent's defense.

But Yang Cheng also mentioned that the full attack and defense vary from person to person, for example, Spain, their skills are better, they can develop their own set of full attack and defense system according to their own characteristics, and the German team's technology is obviously inferior to Spain, if you copy the Spanish system, it is undoubtedly Handan toddler, so the German team should have its own characteristics and style of full attack and defense, give full play to its own advantages, and shield its own shortcomings.

Therefore, in the summary at the end of the chapter, Yang Cheng put forward his understanding of all-offense and all-defense, which he summed up in a few words, running without the ball, pressing, creativity and teamwork, and he believes that as long as he does these points, he will have the ability to play all-offense and all-defense football.

Tony? After reading this chapter, Cross couldn't help but put the book on his lap and looked at Thomas in wonder? Muller, the latter, was lying on the bed and reading intently. "Thomas, do you think what this book says can be done?"

"Achieve what?" Thomas? Mueller asked casually.

"Attack and defend!" Tony? Cross replied.

Thomas? When Mueller heard this, he put down the book in front of him and sat up. Put his legs on the floor on the edge of the bed, "I think it should be okay, Mr. Yang Cheng never talks nonsense, he says it can work, then it will definitely work." "I wish I could be a part of it!" "Tony? Cross said wistfully.

Looked at Tony? Cross, Thomas? Mueller thought about it and decided to say it anyway. "I think, Tony, you have a big problem, that is, your attitude without the ball gives people the feeling that it is not positive, and it can even be said that it is a little lazy, it is rare to see you come forward to press and press, and it is rare to see you chasing back and blocking positions, which is Mr. Yang Cheng's taboo!"

Thomas? Müller is a son of Kaiserslautern. He grew up under Yang Cheng's youth system since he was a child, and he and Tony? Klos is a good friend, and the two have played for national teams at all levels since childhood. After entering the national team, they were roommates, so they were close to each other and close in age, so Thomas? Mueller was blunt.

Tony? Cross listened in a daze, he didn't say anything, because he knew in his heart, Thomas? Muller is speaking for everyone on the team, and they are interested in Tony? Cross's opinion is like this, and this is also true, at least Yang Cheng mentioned this to him in private communication.

"Mr. Yang Cheng has talked to me a lot. He told me where my strengths were, and also where my weaknesses were, so I knew what I was going to improve next, and I trusted him and was willing to do what he advised! ”

Thomas? Muller's admiration for Yang Cheng at the mention of Yang Cheng was as if he had admired Ruud van Nistelrooy in the academy back then. There are a lot of people who say, Thomas? Muller's nose for shooting is a lot like Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the German doesn't deny that he is indeed a fan of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Yang Cheng was with Thomas before? Muller has said that his greatest strength lies in his off-ball running, which has a lot to do with his coming from Kaiserslautern, linking, pulling, filling, reversing, etc., and his awareness and execution of these runs are in place, especially his interaction on the left side with Lahm and Ozil, which is an essential part of the German team's attack.

But Yang Cheng also pointed out that Thomas? Muller's stopping the ball is indeed excellent, and he is also very good at stopping the ball and turning around, but the success rate is not high enough, and a very important reason is that although his skills are solid, they are still insufficient, especially in the handling of the ball under dense defense and high pressure pressure.

He is a left winger, often cutting inside and going down, which makes him in an area where the opponent is heavily defending, and his ability to handle the ball in a small space needs to be further improved, because strong teams cannot always give him space to drill, strong teams, especially top teams like Italy and Spain, often do not give him space, which requires him to have enough skills to open up space, which is Thomas? Muller needs to improve.

Thomas? Müller walked out of the window of his hotel room and looked into the distance, across the street, at the towering Frankfurt Forest Stadium, one of the stadiums for the German World Cup, and the German national team's training ground at the back of the stadium, where there was a modern training base.

"We're all still young, Tony, I think Mr. Yang Cheng is right, we shouldn't be satisfied with the status quo, we should continue to improve, we need to be stronger, more ambitious, and all this requires us to put in more effort!"

It can be seen that the World Cup trip has made Thomas? Muller has matured a lot, especially in the crucial final loss to Spain, which gave him a thorough glimpse of the strength of the world's top players and broadened his horizons, while Yang Cheng's advice and guidance also allowed him to see his shortcomings and areas for improvement.

"A top player is not necessarily the most talented and brightest player, but the one who is the best at learning, always improving, and willing to put in the effort for it!"

Is this Yang Cheng and Tony? A sentence that Cross said to him when he communicated, and Yang Cheng repeatedly said at the time that in his plan, Tony? Kloss is not Schweinsteiger's substitute, but a partner, but whether he can play the main role in the national team depends on Tony? The degree of effort and progress of Cross himself.

"Mr. Yang Cheng is at the helm of Germany, I am full of confidence in the future, he said when he was in South Africa, we have to regain everything we lost after 4 years, which makes me feel excited, but also gives me pressure and motivation, we only work harder, continue to improve, in order to catch up with the pace of the national team, otherwise, Marco is our role model!"

Marco? Marin, an equally young and talented German talent, was favored by countless professionals, but he was not selected for the first phase of Caesar, which made many people suspicious, but since Yang Chengren was not in Frankfurt and he never accepted any questions about the German national team in Madrid, no one knew why.

However, there is a vague impression in everyone's hearts, that is, Yang Cheng is not very satisfied with Marin's attitude towards the game, so this time he was not called into the national team, and it was replaced by Mario? Gotze.

Rejuvenation is the future trend of Germany, and there is no shortage of outstanding young talents in German football in recent years, so Yang Cheng's entry into Germany is good news for young people, but it is also pressure.

If you can't adapt to Yang Cheng's national team requirements, no matter how young and powerful you are, you will be turned away! (To be continued......)
