904 Who will stop him?
On October 11, in the final round of the European Championship qualifiers, Germany hosted Belgium.
From the lineup announced by Yang Cheng before the game, it is not difficult to conclude that this game is more of a training game for the German team, and Yang Cheng wants to inspect the team more.
The goalkeeper is Adler, the backline is Schmelzer, Bad Stuber, Mertesacker and Lahm, and the two midfielders are Toney? Klos and Khedira, attacking forwards with Reus, Gotze and Schurrle, and Podolski as the lone striker.
Most of this group of players are fringe internationals, and they all heard Yang Cheng's words in Turkey very clearly, who is desperate and who is eligible to stay in the German national team.
So at the beginning of the game, this group of players showed an unprecedented fighting spirit and desire to win.
It was raining heavily, but it couldn't stop this group of German youngsters from playing in the muddy stadium, and they kept attacking and threatening the Belgian goal, but Kompany was experienced and very good, leading the Belgian team to hold the goal firmly, but in the first 35 minutes, the German team did not give the slightest chance.
However, in the 36th minute, after Khedira got the ball in front of him, he knocked back into the penalty area, and Gotze volleyed 19 meters in front of the goal, penetrating the Belgian goal, which also won him the cheers of the fans in the stadium.
But it was clear that none of the German players were allowed to specialize in the United States, so they all performed very well.
Three minutes after Gotze's goal, Podolski moved into space and Reus dribbled sideways from the left to Podolski, who cut in and out of the gap to meet the goalkeeper who made the save and fired an easy shot. Penetrated the Belgian goal again.
Belgium, who have conceded goals one after another, has gone completely crazy, and this game can be described as a life-and-death battle for them.
Belgium and Turkey are now battling it out for a place in the play-offs if they lose to Germany. Belgium will miss out on Euro 2012, but if they can beat Germany, they still have a chance of winning.
Kompany this kid kept shouting at his teammates in the heavy rain, Yang Cheng was also impressed by this kid, but he didn't expect this stupid-looking bastard boy to have this momentum, and he looked very calm and general style on the back line.
Assertive. This is a feeling that everyone has about Real Madrid players, not only from the main players of the first team, including the substitutes, including the youth team, and even the lowest age players, there is a strong sense of self-confidence, which is not only from the game itself, but also from their own spirit.
A lot of people say. It took Yang Cheng 5 years to rebuild the arrogance of Real Madrid and make this aristocratic team. They have regained a sense of self-confidence that they have never felt before, allowing them to defeat their opponents in any situation.
Look at Kompany, in Real Madrid he is a little brother, but when it comes to the Belgian national team, he is a big brother, and he is also an outstanding person in his own right, he is infecting the national team teammates around him with his self-confidence, which makes Yang Cheng feel proud in his heart.
He is very bullish on Kompany. But it's a pity that there is not only Thiago in Real Madrid's defenders at present? Silva's almost bug-like existence, as well as Ramos, Arbeloa, Pepe and Miguel? With Torres as a rival, Kompany faces cutthroat competition.
However, the Belgian kid has a lot of opportunities at Real Madrid, and Yang Cheng chose to play a back 3 this season. He can play in three positions, very comprehensive, and this kid's skills are very good, he is also very characteristic of taking and playing the ball, and his speed is not slow, which is very popular with Yang Cheng. ..., it turns out that if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate.
Not long after the start of the second half, Kompany was betrayed by his teammates, who directly let Kompany appear under the fire of Gotze and Podolski, and the two made a one-two, directly hanging Kompany there, and finally Podolski entered the penalty area and scored with a low shot again, scoring the third goal for the German team.
Bad Stuber also showed his part in this goal, which was his counter-attack after the break at the back, the centre-back did a decent job in this game, but there was still a slight lack of interaction with Mertesacker, which led directly to Hazzard's comeback to score a goal for Belgium in the 86th minute.
In the end, the German team defeated Belgium 3-1 at home, won 10 games, won 9 wins and 1 draw, and maintained an unbeaten proud record, which also made the German team the team with the best record in the qualifiers, with a full 28 points of group points.
But Yang Cheng never evaluates a team purely from the data, because there are some special circumstances in the European qualifiers, such as some groups are 6 teams, and some groups only have 5 teams, so although Spain has won 8 consecutive wins, this team is not as good as the German team in the standings.
The Netherlands were the other favourite team in qualifying, with an impressive 9-1 record in qualifying, topping their group ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden, who finished second with 24 points.
As a result, all 10 rounds of the qualifiers have been played, and the first of the 9 groups is the second in the best group, and a total of 10 teams have been born to directly qualify for the finals, namely Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, England, Spain, Russia, France, Greece, Denmark and Sweden.
There will be eight remaining teams in the play-offs to determine the four qualifiers: Turkey, Ireland, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Portugal and the Czech Republic, who will face each other over two legs during the November international break.
With 10 direct qualifiers and 4 play-off qualifiers, plus Poland and Ukraine, the 16 teams in the European Championship finals have become more and more clear, especially the teams that qualify directly, and the strength is obvious to all.
Everyone is generally optimistic about Spain and Germany, after all, these two teams are the champions and runners-up of the World Cup in South Africa, Spain is the strongest national team in football today, and the team is full of top superstars from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the strength, and it is the number one favorite to win the European Cup.
Germany is sitting on a group of young rookies, although there are also stars such as Klose and Deisler, but the role is not obvious. The reason why everyone thinks that the German team has the hope of winning the championship actually comes more from the trust in Yang Cheng, but there are also many people who think that Yang Cheng can adapt to the European Cup when he takes charge of the national team for the first time is a problem.
How many famous coaches who have been coaching in the club have become miserable when they arrive at the national team?
Matches of the national team. Especially in this kind of competition, the situation is very different from the league and cup competitions of the club, and if the manager does not adapt well and adjust to this mentality, it will be difficult to lead the German team far in the European Championship.
However, no matter what, no matter how many people sing about it, everyone agrees. Spain's biggest rival at Euro 2012 was Yang Cheng's Germany.
Even when Bosque was interviewed by reporters after the game. They all said that they were keeping a close eye on the German team.
'It's an impressive team, they're very aggressive, they've been playing two consecutive major tournaments, and it's clear that the German team is becoming more and more mature, which has made them very good lately, and they're obviously actively preparing for the European Championships, and they're going to be our biggest rivals.' ..., and for his good friend and number one rival, Yang Cheng, the head coach of the German team. Bosque is full of praise.
'He's a very, very smart guy, young, passionate, energetic and full of intelligence, and I'm sure he's able to adjust the relationship between the national team and the club, and he's able to adjust his mentality, and he's always able to do it when others aren't looking. With an impressive record, he's an incredible manager. ”
"I'm sorry to hear the news that he is leaving Real Madrid, really, I think he is the greatest manager in Real Madrid's history, and the most successful, I even hope that he can retire from Real Madrid and coach Real Madrid until Ferguson's age, but I know Yang Cheng, he is a person who is always thinking about trying to break through and improve, such a person is not easy to hold onto, so he always chooses to leave after leading a team to the top."
"No matter what, I believe that all Real Madrid fans, they will always remember that in the history of Real Madrid football, there was such a great manager, and he will be the pride of all Real Madrid fans!"
Yang Cheng expressed his gratitude for Bosque's recognition and affirmation, and said that the most successful thing in his coaching career so far is not to get some trophies, not to get many honors, but to have a group of very good friends and players.
"I believe that the honor will be forgotten, the championship will be forgotten, but this kind of friendship between people, this kind of relationship, will not be forgotten, so even now, Denilson still calls me often, Ronaldo must come to see me every time he goes to Europe, and Nedved asks me if I want to come to his house for dinner on weekends......"
'Maybe I'm really old, so it's easy to remember something, and I dare say that at my age, trophies and honours are no longer the focus of my pursuit, what I want to achieve is what I want to achieve, what I value is the relationship between me and my friends, players and family.
"Because of the change, I made the idea of leaving Real Madrid after the season, and I'm sure everyone can understand me!"
In the analysis of reporters and the media, they all agreed that from Yang Cheng's words, it fully reflects his mentality, that is, after more than ten years of career grinding, he has developed a kind of tiredness, he has lost too many things in order to pursue football and goals when he was young, so he wants to make up for it now.
"Looking at the newspaper and the TV, Yang Cheng appeared in front of us, his hair was much grayer, and his clothes were still full of taste and fashion, but we could clearly feel that he was not a god, he was just an ordinary person, he would grow old, and he was aging."
"Perhaps, we can no longer be to this person, who has brought us countless joys in the past ten years. Countless passionate managers ask for more, because he has ushered in a new era that has never been seen before, and he has shown us the charm of football that has never been seen before. Now, his legend will come to an end at the end of the season, so let's wish him all the best on his new journey! ”
Alfredo, editor-in-chief of the newspaper As, has touched a lot of Real Madrid fans, as well as countless Yang Cheng fans and neutral fans around the world, regardless of their position on weekdays. But when I saw this column, I would undoubtedly silently bless Yang Cheng in my heart.
For Real Madrid fans, the game with Yang Cheng is one less game, and one minute less to watch.
According to the news released by the Real Madrid Administration Department, since Yang Cheng announced that he would leave Real Madrid at the end of this season and retire from the professional league, all ticket sales related to Real Madrid have become very hot, and almost every game has become hard to find. ..., Espanyol club Libre when speaking to reporters. expressed his gratitude to Yang Cheng.
"Our Eprat Stadium hasn't been full for years, but against Real Madrid our stands were full. Many of them are even fans of the sworn enemy Barcelona, who come to our stadium not to snipe Real Madrid, but just to experience a game with Yang Cheng for themselves! ”
'He's an incredible manager and I'm sure we'll all miss him!'
Not only is it full, but even the price of scalped tickets for every game has been speculated, and countless foreign tourists have even come to Madrid in every possible way, just to be able to see the game led by Yang Cheng.
It's become a phenomenon that doesn't just drive the world of football. At the same time, it has also driven tourism, consumption, shopping and other fields, and even when the Spanish Prime Minister was interviewed by the media, he jokingly joked that if you want to revive the Spanish economy, the best way is to play the signboard of Yang Cheng.
Although it is just a joke, Yang Cheng's stimulating effect on the economy is obvious.
Real Madrid began with Yang Cheng announcing his post-season retirement. It has always been committed to operating and at the same time trying to minimise the club's losses, and for some time now, Real Madrid's ticket bookings have been very hot, not to mention the league and Champions League matches, and even the Copa del Rey tickets have been sold out.
However, the loss caused by Yang Cheng's retirement is also very obvious, and the live TV broadcasters began to discuss the adjustment of the broadcast fee for the next season, although the Real Madrid team is full of superstars, but Yang Cheng's departure will at least make Real Madrid's current 230 million euros of TV broadcast fees decline, and it is expected that the decline may fall below 200 million.
In addition, many large sponsors such as Adidas and Audi have also proposed to adjust sponsorship fees, coupled with other aspects of commercial development, as well as the expiration of sponsorship contracts, which are expected to reduce Real Madrid's overall revenue by more than 20%, and even more than 30% in some aspects.
This is not only a loss on the part of Real Madrid, but in La Liga and the Champions League, the loss will be even more severe.
As UEFA President Olsen said with a wry smile about Yang Cheng's retirement in an interview with reporters, he said, "Although we have always been committed to a healthy finance, the loss of European professional football is about 1.4 billion euros, and Yang Cheng's departure is bound to further aggravate the loss, because his driving and stimulating effect is very significant." ”
Just like the Spaniards, because Yang Cheng led Real Madrid to the Espanyol to play, the Espanyol stadium was full, just the ticket income, match day stadium management, etc., it was enough to make the Espanyol club make a lot of money, plus the match day investment and other aspects, the Spaniards made a lot of money, relieving a lot of debt pressure.
"I have mentioned to Yang Cheng that I hope he can continue to stay and coach, but unfortunately, our Caesar will leave the Champions League and leave the professional league at the end of this season!"
"But we are also very much looking forward to Yang Cheng will appear on the field of the European Cup next summer, which will undoubtedly completely ignite the fans' expectations for the European Cup!"
It is reported that because Yang Cheng led the German team to directly qualify for the European Cup, the sponsors of the European Cup flocked to it, because everyone was convinced that at the end of next year's season, regardless of Real Madrid's results, Yang Cheng's retirement is bound to become the most important news page, causing media hype around the world.
After such hype, Yang Cheng led the team to participate in the European Cup, which is bound to bring the eyes of the world's media and fans, even non-fans, to the European Cup, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the exposure and attention of the European Cup, and these directly determine the sponsorship and business development of the European Cup.
There are gains and losses, Yang Cheng has won the attention and popularity of fans all over the world, he is destined to lose something, and he can't prevent others from using him for hype and publicity, which is a very real problem.
So after the end of the national team game, the world's media were fueled by hype, and when a wave of Yang Cheng was rekindled, he led the assistant team back to Madrid in a low-key manner, led Real Madrid, and defeated Real Betis 4:0 at home at the Bernabeu Stadium.
This time neither Ronaldo nor Messi scored, with Sergio Aguero scoring a hat-trick and Kaka scoring his team's third goal, which also saw Aguero jump directly to third place in the scorers' list.
Interestingly, now Real Madrid has completely monopolized the top three scorers in La Liga and Europe, which can't help but make the media around the world turn the gun again and shout, who will stop him? (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
