886 Iron fist
The trip to Austria is about to take place, but all the German internationals are wondering and wondering why they are suddenly talking about a meeting, and they are not worried that they will not be able to travel to Austria
When they walked into the conference room, they saw head coach Yang Chengtie sitting in the middle with a blue face, next to him was the national team leader, Bierhoff also had a bad face, and the head of the press department of the German Football Association, Stanger, who should have rushed back from Frankfurt, as well as the nominal captain of the national team, Ballack
The conference room is not big, but it is sufficient, and the atmosphere is very weird, which makes everyone who walks in feel uncomfortable for a while
It may be that they felt the stiffness of the atmosphere, and all the players began to notice the difference after they walked in, and immediately became attentive, and began to find their seats according to the seats they had adjusted on weekdays, but as soon as they sat down, Yang Cheng immediately opened fire
All those who have been interviewed by the media without my permission, made remarks about the affairs of the national team, and have made any remarks related to the national team on Weibo, all went out to me, he stood up with a blushing face, pointed to the door of the conference room, and shouted
Since Yang Cheng took charge of the national team, the discipline requirements are stricter than Lef, and the requirements are a lot, and he was given a dismissal on the first day, but the management after that is more or less humane, as long as it does not involve the bottom line, it is relatively relaxed, and now it suddenly becomes so strict, which surprises everyone, and they all realize that this time he is determined to completely reorganize this national team
Didn't you hear what I said, Yang Cheng specially accentuated his tone, and whoever gave interviews to reporters without permission, and made remarks related to the national team in the media and on Weibo, all went out, and you were deprived of the qualification to go to Austria
The originally noisy conference room immediately became silent, everyone looked at him with serious expressions, and many of them even changed their faces drastically, because many of them were involved in this incident
Michael Yang glared angrily at what is the third rule of the national team locker room
It is forbidden to give media interviews in private without permission to leak the internal affairs of the national team, Ballack immediately stood up
When did you order Yang Cheng asked again
Ballack hesitated for a moment during the World Cup in South Africa
It's impossible for you not to know the rules, but there are still people who gave interviews to reporters in private three days ago, commenting on teammates in the national team, and I don't care if the comments are good or bad, and you are violating the rules if you are interviewed without my permission
In the silent conference room, there was only Yang Cheng's voice, and everyone looked very nervous, and their faces were solemn
I'm very disappointed in you, I thought you weren't the lazy garbage team you used to be, but now I seem disappointed that winning all the qualifiers has left a lot of you fluctuating, which makes me wonder what happens when you meet Spain, and what happens when you meet a team like Real Madrid
The management of the national team is actually very troublesome and difficult, because the training camp of the national team is short-lived, and it comes and goes in a hurry, which makes it impossible for many management measures to be like the club, but Yang Cheng knows better than anyone that without strict discipline, the team will become loose and how to form combat effectiveness on the field
The current German team is technically good and can keep up with the times, but in terms of mental quality, tactical execution, and tenacious style, it is not more than one cut, but several cuts
Dare to do it but dare not admit it Yang Cheng swept over this group of players, his face was still very serious
His eyes were always roaming back and forth over the players in the conference room, giving people the feeling that he was doubting himself anytime and anywhere, but in the end, no one stood up, which made Yang Cheng feel disappointed, shook his head and sighed, if he boldly stood up and admitted, maybe he would still have a chance, but it was obvious that he had missed the last chance to save
Yang Cheng sat down in his seat again, I hope each of you can be very clear about one point, I not only ask you to always be consistent on the court, resolutely implement team tactics, I also hope that you can also manage yourself off the court, because I don't believe in a person who can't even manage himself, how can I make me believe that he can resolutely implement team tactics to take on this responsibility...,
I'm not trying to imprison you, I'm not trying to live like robots, that's not the way I want it to be, because you're all adults, but I want each and every one of you to understand one thing: the interests of the team should always come first, and anything can be talked to me, but it shouldn't be in the media
I want a group of fighters who can fight until the last second and will do whatever it takes to fight for honor, not a bunch of wretched people who only know how to complain to the media
Finally, I would like to reiterate once again that Ballack is the captain of the team, that Lahm and Schweinsteiger are the vice-captains of the team, that I have made it very clear that everyone who does not meet my requirements on the training pitch during the training camp and on the pitch will not hesitate to expel him from the national team, no matter who he is
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the conference room with an angry face under the gaze of all the players
After Yang Cheng left, everyone at the scene obviously felt relieved, they all felt that this matter should be over like this, but they didn't expect Barak to stand up directly
The following announcement of the results of the handling of the national team captain immediately surprised everyone present, but what was even more surprising was the announcement of Ballack's punishment next
Trokhovski: I'm sorry you can leave the team first
Everyone was stunned and looked at Trokhovsky, a player during the World Cup, who was not selected for the national team after the World Cup, but this time Yang Cheng called him in again because of his outstanding performance in the club, and now he is going to expel him from the national team, which is somewhat surprising
However, judging by the expressions of Bierhoff and Stanger, they obviously already knew about it, and they only announced through Ballack's mouth to further consolidate Ballack's position and influence in this national team
Kyle, Schweinsteiger, Thomas Müller, and Gomez were given warnings for giving unauthorized interviews to reporters and making statements on Weibo that violated the rules of the national team
The four players all lowered their heads, in fact, they were more defending Ballack in interviews and tweets, but they are also punished for violating the rules of the national team, but not as serious as Trokhovski, and the reason is that Trokhovsky bombarded the team's tactics during the interview
He thinks that his favorite position is the midfielder, but in the current national team, Yang Cheng uses Ozil or even Toniklos, which makes him unable to be selected for the national team squad, which makes him feel unhappy, so he took advantage of this Ballack incident to express his hope in the media that the national team will change tactics for him and let him play a more important role in the national team
But it was clear that Yang Cheng had already told him with an iron fist that he was delusional
I'm very fortunate to be in such a national team, Ballack looked at all the players under him, and I knew that there would be some of you who thought I should go, and I used to think so, but the boss told me he needed me, and he told me that he wanted to build a team as strong as Real Madrid, and he needed my help, so I didn't hesitate to stay
Everyone looked at Ballack, the captain of the national team who was no longer able to play
It's a team with big goals and I don't know if I can achieve it, just like when I was going to Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan, to Liverpool, to Real Madrid, no one knew if he would be able to achieve it, but I want to believe in him and help him
You're so much luckier than I am, because you have a great group of teammates and a great manager, so I hope you can achieve the championships and accolades that our group dreamed of but never got through
But I also have to remind each and every one of you that self-discipline is a necessary quality for a professional footballer, sacrifice and responsibility are necessary for a player to integrate into the team and the key to building a top team, if you want to play in a strong German national team and be part of a strong team, then you have to learn it...
After what happened just now, all the internationals began to take Ballack's words into note in earnest
…………
…………
The national team's expulsion of Trokhovski's warning to the four players was officially announced through Stanger's press conference, and all media did find out that Trokhovski had left the national team's training camp in Sinsheim early
This surprised everyone, and at the same time, they were worried about Yang Cheng's move to raise the butcher's knife before the war, worried that it would affect the combat effectiveness of the national team, after all, although Austria and Germany have a big gap in strength, they are not a weak team to be slaughtered
As the captain of the team, Ballack was the first to stand up for an interview with reporters, and this was also the first time he held a press conference as captain of the national team since returning to the national team, and he said that everyone in the national team is ready for everything
I believe that all the players of the national team should understand that wearing this shirt represents a country, and we must have the determination and fighting spirit to fight to the death, and for those who lack this understanding, we have only one word: get out
After hearing such a tough statement from Ballack, all the media immediately realized one thing, that is, Yang Cheng wants to re-establish the power core of the national team, and the players led by Ballack, Lahm, Schweinsteiger and others will completely become the backbone of the national team and become the absolute leader in the locker room
However, it is only in this situation, under the control of the absolute superior forces, that the locker room can be twisted into a rope, and if it is still fighting separately as in the past, it will always be a piece of loose sand
After the turmoil and the expulsion of Trokhovski, all eyes were on Germany's away game against Austria, after all, the Germans are currently on a clean win in qualifying, but with so much going on lately, there are concerns about whether they will capsize in the Vienna gutter
The Germans did get off to a poor start against Austria in the first half, before finding the first half with an assist from Mesut Ozil before being equalised by Austria just before the end of the game
Yang Cheng was very dissatisfied with the errant Hummels at halftime, believing that he was too blind in the game to chase his individual performance, and his hot-headed forward thrust led to the loss of his position, exposing Kyle to the opponent's fire, creating the team's goal loss and putting it in a disadvantageous situation
There is also Jérôm Boateng, a player who was inattentive before and after Hummels, did not retract in time, gave the opposition a loophole, and should also bear some responsibility for conceding goals
After the halftime break, the team's defense has improved to a certain extent in the second half, especially Jerome Boateng, this kid's strength is indeed very good, very level, but he is frizzy, easy to wander and make mistakes, but as long as he concentrates, his personal strength is still very good
His widening shot from the right was deflected to the unmarked Lahm on the left, who set up Thomas Müller to score another goal for Germany and seal the win
2:1 Germany took home a win from Vienna
This is also the sixth consecutive win of the German team in the European Championship qualifiers, and now the German team is far from the top of the table, plus Turkey drew 1-1 away to Belgium, and the German team is almost certain to qualify from the group, unless the remaining four legs of the game are all lost, but that is very unlikely
At the post-match press conference after playing Austria, Yang Cheng commented on the game, and at the same time explained and clarified some recent things in the German team
We had a terrible first half, even though we scored first, we easily allowed the equaliser because we had a lot of players who didn't concentrate in the game and made some mistakes, which led to our passivity for a long time... but I'm happy that in the second half we were united, the players quickly realised their mistakes and made amends, and they saw very well that only they could help themselves in the crucial moments, and only they could lead the team to victory
I want to thank all our players because of their tenacity, in the end we beat Austria and gave us a bit of an advantage in the group standings, but we can't be careless because we haven't qualified for the finals yet, and we shouldn't have been careless until the last minute
As for Trokhovski, Yang Cheng did not say why, only that this player is not very compatible with his team strategy for the national team, of course, I am not saying that he will never have a chance to be selected for the national team again, because no one knows what will happen in the future, but he is obviously not suitable for the current team's tactics
Many people can hear Yang Cheng's voice, since you Trokhovsky said that the current national team tactics are not suitable for you, then you can simply leave me, and when I want to change my tactics and think of you, then I will consider calling you in again
Of course, Trokhovsky could have come out and say that he was retiring from the national team, but a man who did not even dare to admit what he had said, would he have the courage to say such extreme and resolute words
I believe that through this incident, all members of the national team should have a clearer understanding, that is, it is an honor to enter the national team, and it is not to come to the national team to train, not to enjoy the holiday, not to travel to be comfortable, but to fight, and to fight for this jersey on their body
So what I need is a group of brave fighters, not a group of boys who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and when they encounter difficulties, they will be timid and retreat, and this kind of player will never appear on my team
I always have one criterion for selecting players, whether it's training or on the pitch, every minute and every second, in every situation, and that's the only one who qualifies for my national team
Yang Cheng's statement has been speculated by many media, and it is likely that a group of international players will leave the German national team because of this, because it is obvious from his remarks that he is dissatisfied with the current national team players, or it can be said that they are more demanding
However, some media analyzed that this is just a stage of Yang Cheng's rectification of the national team, and he hopes to reorganize the too loose team management and dressing room attitude during the Loew period, and then twist all the international players into a rope and transform them into a strong battle group, so as to avoid fighting separately
Regarding Yang Cheng's initiative, the spokesman of the German Football Association took the lead in expressing his full support for Yang Cheng's further transformation of the national team, and firmly believed that the team would get better and better under Yang Cheng's tutelage
We believe that under the leadership of Mr. Yang Cheng, the German national team will go from strength to strength, and we hope to get rid of the sluggish state of the past when it comes to key battles, and build a stronger German national team."
Nilsbach, president of the Football Association, also publicly stated that Yang Cheng has the final say on all matters of the national team, and I unconditionally support his transformation of the national team, and I also agree with his words very much, and only players who have a heart of sacrifice and dedication for the national team are qualified to wear the national team jersey
As for the upcoming FIFA presidential election, Nilsbach said that he is most optimistic about Beckenbauer defeating Blatter to be elected president of FIFA
There is no need to doubt Franz's ability to govern, and I believe that he has the ability and courage to change the dark FIFA, which is undoubtedly the situation that all fans around the world want to see the most
After the German national team returned to Germany and was disbanded, the FIFA Congress was held in Zurich, Switzerland, and whether challenger Beckenbauer ascended to the throne or Blatter continued to win the throne
When the media all over the world paid attention, as a close friend of Beckenbauer, Yang Cheng did not participate in it, but faded out of the scope of media attention and chose a low-key vacation (your support is my biggest motivation on this site)
