While Yang Cheng is leading Real Madrid to train in the United States, the German Football Association in Germany has also announced a 18-man squad that will play a warm-up match with Denmark on August 11.

This warm-up game can also be said to be the first warm-up game after Yang Cheng officially took over the double coach of the German national team and Real Madrid.

Yang Cheng previously published this list through the Internet, and this list did not include a single main player of the German team in the World Cup, even including Schweinsteiger and Thomas? Muller, Deisler, Klose, Ozil and other Yang Cheng relied on several favorite players did not appear in the squad, but a group of substitute players.

Unlike Loew's previous recruitment of 6 strikers, Yang Cheng recruited two strikers Gomez and Cacao this time, he hopes to focus on these two strikers, and at the same time give his reassuring Klose a good rest, after all, it is difficult to support the German team's forward line if Klose alone is a striker.

However, in terms of promoting young players, Yang Cheng seems to be more radical than Loew, and he recruited a number of rookies from the national team in one go this time, namely Andre from Mainz? Schurrle, Marko from Borussia Mönchengladbach? Reuss, as well as the Fritz won last season? Valther Gold Medal Mario? Gotze.

If the selection of these players means that Yang Cheng wants to continue to transform the German team's offensive system, then Hummels, Sebastian? Kyle, Clemens? The re-selection of players such as Fritz means that Yang Cheng wants to make a series of changes to the defensive line.

And in this list, there are two players who have attracted the general attention: Lars, the twin brother who plays for Kaiserslautern? Bender and Sven? Bender's selection. There are rumors that these two players were recommended to Yang Cheng by Kyle and Kaiserslautern head coach Bremmer, who takes it very seriously.

From this list, everyone can see that Yang Cheng wants to further investigate the players, warm up and inspect the players for the upcoming European Cup qualifiers.

This time, Germany was placed in Group A in the European Championship qualifiers, and the opponents were Turkey, Belgium, Austria, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Especially considering Yang Cheng's newcomer to the German team, the situation is more dangerous.

As for how to play, Yang Cheng knows in his heart, he has long been with Paul? Beyer, Flick and others have drawn up a detailed team plan and progress, and he will revamp the German team according to his own ideas.

After leading Real Madrid from the United States to the end of their trip to the United States, Yang Cheng, Benitez and Thiem? The three of Hank flew straight to Copenhagen, Denmark non-stop, where they met up with the team to prepare for the upcoming warm-up game.

As soon as Yang Cheng arrived in Denmark, he immediately took the time to talk to several rookies who had just been selected for the national team, including young players such as Gotze, Schurrle, Reuss, and the Bend brothers. I also communicated with Hummels.

In this game, Yang Cheng's lineup is also 4231, which is goalkeeper Wiese and the back line is Jérôme? Boateng, Tashcher, Hummels and Clemens? Fritz; The two midfielders are Toney? Cross and Tresch; The attacking guards were Marin, Gotze, and Royce; The single striker is Gomez.

Before the game, the main central defender of the Danish team, Agger, also came over to meet Yang Cheng. It was polite, but when it came to the game, he looked ruthless, and in the 13th minute, he used a long-range shot from 30 meters out to penetrate the goal guarded by Wiese. Opened the scoring for Denmark. ..., after seeing Agger score. Yang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, "Our midfield doesn't press the opponent enough, it's very poor!" ”

Benitez also nodded, "The technique is good, but without oppression, it is impossible to form an effective combat force at all." ”

Yang Cheng immediately walked to the sidelines and once again shouted about his pre-match arrangement, reminding the German players who wanted to play tricks on their opponents by playing with their skills. It's best to clean up your mood and execute your tactics well.

After the oppressive tactics have improved somewhat. The technical superiority of the German team was also immediately apparent.

In the 28th minute, Marin took the ball on the left side and cut inside and sent a delicate through ball. Gomez successfully countered offside and scored an equalizer for Germany in the face of the opposing goalkeeper.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Yang Cheng made a large number of substitutions.

Sebastian? Kyle replaced Tashcher, Yang Cheng originally admired Tashcher's characteristics, he was fast and had good skills, but the problem was that his awareness of position selection and positioning was too poor, especially when defending, and his body was slightly thin, facing the tall Dane, he did not have an advantage in the confrontation.

Polite? Bender replaced Traesch, who performed decently, and Yang Cheng's substitution this time was mainly to investigate Sven? Bender, the defensive midfielder, has already played in Kaiserslautern, and both Kyle and Bremer have a very high opinion of him, focusing on recommending him to Yang Cheng, saying that he will be a player that the German team lacks.

And Baker replaced Clemens? Fritz, the latter and Yang Cheng did not improve much when they led the team, but the problem is that when Yang Cheng led Kaiserslautern, he was less than 20 years old, and with his strength and performance at that time, he could be said to be a genius, a supernova, and had high hopes.

But ten years have passed, your strength has not improved much, although you are experienced, but no one will continue to treat you as a talent, as a star, everyone will look at and examine you with a higher vision and level, this is Clemens? The reason why Fritz has not been able to gain a foothold in the national team all these years.

"He's not fit for the current national team!" Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed.

At that time, he also admired Fritz very much, he liked Fritz's style very much, and his speed was also a sharp weapon for the team, but now it seems that he feels that Fritz is not suitable for the national team again.

The second half was also relatively uneventful, Tony? Klos' through ball allowed Gomez to finish off offside again. Germany took a 2-1 comeback lead.

However, in the 78th minute, Ajax midfielder Eriksen's goal helped Denmark draw 2-2 at home to Germany, and the score was maintained until the end of the game, with neither side able to continue to score.

After the warm-up game, the team returned to Germany and disbanded, but Yang Cheng and the coaching staff had a meeting to determine the 23-man squad for the European Championship qualifiers.

…………

…………

According to Yang Cheng's idea, the 23-man squad deducts 3 goalkeepers and arranges 8 players on the backline. There were 8 in midfield, 4 strikers, no more, no less, exactly 23 people.

The goalkeeper can be said to be the most unsuspenseful, Neuer, Bout and Wiese, these three goalkeepers are the best goalkeepers that German football can call in right now, Adler is not well injured, if he recovers from injury, he will naturally be one of the three goalkeepers, and Bout and Wiese are fighting for the last place.

At the back, Lahm, Jérôme? Boateng, Mertesacker, Bad Stuber, Kyle and Hummels are set to be selected. The other two players, Traesch and Baker, of which Teresch is better at the midfielder, in Yang Cheng's mind, the backline he wants will be Lahm, Kyle, Mertesacker and Jérôme? Boateng. Although Bad Stubert has a lot of potential, to be honest, he is not as old as Kyle in terms of age, experience, and strength. ..., although Kyle has played in Kaiserslautern in the back over the years, but in fact, his style and strength as a central defender are still there, and Yang Cheng is very optimistic about him. I am also convinced that he can become a pillar of the German national team's backline.

In midfield. Balak, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Khedira, Tony? Cross, Gotze, Deisler, and Sven? Bend, where Yang Cheng vs. Sven? Bender has a good impression that the player's defensive ability in midfield is as Bremer said, and he is like Kyle back then, and Lars? Bender is also both offensive and defensive, but with limited personnel.

The four strikers Yang Cheng chose Klose, Gomez, Thomas? Mill and Podolsky, among whom Thomas? Muller was fixed on the left by Yang Cheng, who tried Thomas during the World Cup? Muller and Lahm on the left flank. It has formed a powerful force, and he hopes to continue to maintain it.

There are many of the highlights in this list that will surely be hyped by the media. For example, the return of Barak and Kyle, both of whom are Yang Cheng's disciples. He created a series of miracles in Kaiserslautern back then, and was also hailed as the pride of German football, and now he is back again, plus Klose, Deisler, Ozil and a group of players, the outside world will definitely pay attention.

Polite? Bender is Kaiserslautern's main midfielder, who has performed well in the past two years, and has improved rapidly under the influence and teaching of Kyle, and the selection of this defensive midfielder will definitely put pressure on Khedira and Traesch, which also shows Yang Cheng's dissatisfaction with the current double midfield combination, especially Khedira's preference for forward insertion.

"If Sven? If either Bender or Tresch were doing well, I wouldn't mind taking Khedira! Yang Cheng looked serious, "But I also want to find an opportunity to try the routine of letting Kyle play in the back and retreat to the back line when defending." ”

Kyle can play as a midfielder and a central defender, and his ability to hold and control the ball is very good, the key depends on how Yang Cheng uses it.

"Mertesacker is solid, Hummels is more aggressive and a little reckless, Bad Stuber is better with the ball, and with a Kyle, this centre-back combination is good enough for qualifying." Benitez analyzed.

"Time is still too tight!" Paul? Bayer sighed.

According to the schedule, the Bundesliga played the second round of the Bundesliga on August 29, and the players returned to the national team after the game, but the team challenged Belgium away on September 3 and 7 respectively, and faced Azerbaijan at home.

"Paul, do you remember the way we started with the line-drawing area?" Yang Cheng looked at Paul? Beyer, asked with a smile on his face.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember, when I saw those messy tactical plans you drew back then, I was one head or two big, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed simple and clear!" ”

When Yang Cheng was first in charge of Chemnitz, he wanted to help the players better understand his off-ball running requirements and tactical areas. He draws lines and zones in training, and then uses red and green to represent prohibition and viability, allowing the players to follow the road map to run and pass and receive the ball in training.

Now Yang Cheng does not have much time to slowly run in the national team, he cannot have a month-long training period like in Real Madrid, he only has less than 4 days, he must let the whole German understand his tactical intentions, and form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

The good thing about him is that his coaching philosophy has long been with his youth system. Integrating into every team in Germany and the Bundesliga, many of these players have grown up under the influence of this set of youth training and training systems, and they are no strangers to Yang Cheng's set of tactics, and it is easier to integrate into Yang Cheng's tactical system. ..., but there is also a downside, which is that a lot of the problems of this team need time to overcome, and what he lacks most now is time.

"Just prepare as we did back then!" Yang Cheng explained.

Paul? Bair nodded, he had been through the Chemnitz period, so he knew the operation of Yang Cheng's system very well.

"Also, the training intensity will be increased at that time!" Yang Cheng shook his head. "The psychological quality of this group of guys is too weak, what we need is an iron army that can fight tough battles, not a team that only knows how to play with the wind, when it comes to critical moments. When you encounter difficulties, your legs will be weak, and you will only play juggling skills as soft eggs. ”

The reason why he called in Ballack is that in fact, the German midfielder is so old that the competitive significance is not very good, but the spirit and will in him are what the German team needs the most at present. It is also the most lacking.

Whether it's in the league or in the cups. Whether it is the national team's competition system, or whether it is a team with delicate skills like Real Madrid and Barcelona, or a tenacious and brave team like Manchester United and Chelsea, the style must be tenacious, and everyone must have a belief in winning, and all of this is slowly accumulated in training, and then practiced and honed through the game.

It is impossible to build an army of iron and blood overnight. Yang Cheng is also ready for long-term combat, and he already has a clear idea. Players who don't meet his mental requirements, or who can't adapt to his requirements. will be cleared out of the national team by him.

On the day when the team finished playing Denmark, Yang Cheng and Jérôme? Boateng communicated, and he also revealed one thing in his words, that is, he was dissatisfied with Boateng's lack of concentration in the game, and he hoped that Boateng would get rid of this problem and pay enough attention to every minute and every second of the game.

Of course, Yang Cheng knows Jérôme? Boateng's character, so he pays more attention to the tone of speech, but I believe that Boateng will also be able to understand what Yang Cheng means, if he can't adapt to Yang Cheng's requirements, he will not see his name in the national team lineup, and he seems to have established himself at right-back now.

The same goes for Khedira and Tony? Close and others, Yang Cheng also gave suggestions, but it is unknown how much these boys can change.

"After playing the league on the 29th, the training on the 30th may not be able to go smoothly, and if you have to play on the 3rd, will it affect the team's state and morale?" Paul? Bair said worriedly.

Tim? Hank smiled and nodded, "Our Caesar has already thought of this!" ”

For Yang Cheng's precautions, everyone admired.

"Me, Chris, Moniz and Muhrensteen have drawn up a training plan, it is very intense, it will test and sharpen the players, it will definitely have a certain impact on the game on the 3rd, but it will help the game on the 7th, but the most important thing is the training of the players."

Tim? Hank is a Grandmaster-level physical trainer, Chris? Schmidt is very good in training, physical rehabilitation, psychology and other aspects, Moniz and Mulensteen also have their own unique points in training, and Yang Cheng is very relieved that the training plan drawn up by this group of professionals is very reassuring.

Everyone has been working together for more than ten years, and Yang Cheng believes in his assistant very much.

"Although it took two years from the World Cup in South Africa to Euro 2012, we actually had very little time due to the time constraints of the national team, which was a test for our whole team, and we had to pay attention to efficiency and time while ensuring that the players were instilled with tactical ideas and concepts."

Yang Cheng's words have been recognized by everyone, the national team training camp is in a hurry, training for two or three days to play, after the game will go their own way, can not get the kind of long-term training treatment. ..., in this case, Yang Cheng is very envious of the original national football team, if there is a chance for him to suspend the Bundesliga, train for a month or two, and then slowly run in the team, practice skills and tactics, and wait for the arrival of the opponent, then he dares to guarantee that the German team will be able to be reborn within a month.

But now, this kind of treatment is undoubtedly a luxury for him, because the national team has called in international players to play games, and it is good to be able to get the cooperation of the club's head coach......

In a word, difficult!

Yang Cheng and others negotiated this in Germany, and after being praised by the media as Caesar's national team training squad, they did not immediately announce it, but prepared to wait until the right time to organize it by the German Football Association, and Yang Cheng announced that this list is still in the confidential stage for the time being, and it may be adjusted at any time, and Paul? Bayer, on the other hand, will follow this list and keep a close eye on the form and physical condition of the players.

After negotiating the matter, Yang Cheng did not continue to stay in Germany, but immediately returned to Madrid.

Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, a total of three games, Real Madrid's opponents are Atletico Madrid, and there is also a warm-up match against Corinthian in the Bernabeu Cup, these games need to be personally supervised by Yang Cheng, and there is no room for error.

After all, whether it's a cup game or a warm-up game, it's all about the morale of the team in the new season, and everyone wants a good start and then sweep the whole season in one go, don't they? (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
