"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Cheng!"

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Vogts immediately walked to Yang Cheng in front of the home team's coach's box.

"Thank you, Bertie!" Yang Cheng held his outstretched hand and responded with a smile.

The two head coaches stood on the sidelines of the home team's coaching area and shook hands, this scene was immediately captured by the camera at the scene, and the fans in the stands also applauded, there is no doubt that their applause is more aimed at the current head coach of the national team Yang Cheng, for the former coach, sorry, Vogts has always had a mixed reputation in German football.

Some people say that Vogts is very good, won the runner-up in the Euro 92 Cup, and won the championship in the Euro 96, but some people say that Vogts is bad, because the runner-up in 92 was a big upset by the Danish team in the key final, and it was a bit reluctant to win in 96, but in the two World Cups in 94 and 98, Vogts's team did not perform well.

Supporters of Vogts feel that Vogts's team has led the team to an excellent record, coaching Germany for 102 games, 67 wins, 23 draws and 12 losses, with a winning rate of 65.69%, which is the second in the history of previous German head coaches, second only to De Waal's 67.16%, higher than Beckenbauer and Herlberg, and only recently surpassed by Loew's 69.6%.

But the cold stats obviously don't convince everyone, at least many feel that the win percentage doesn't tell the whole story, because many of the games coached by both Vogts and Loew are qualifiers, which is not very difficult for the German team.

And during the period when Vogts was in charge of the German team, it was the last glory of German football, when the German troika was still there, coupled with powerful players such as Summer, the overall strength of German football was second to none in world football, and it was not surprising that Vogts led such a team to such a winning rate, but it was unconvincing in the competition. That can't be said.

And during Vogtz's tenure at the helm of the German team. The conflict between Matthaus and Klinsmann, Ilgener's departure from the national team, etc., these problems have made the head coach Vogts have mixed reputations, even if he won the World Coach Award in 1996, but after leaving the German national team, he has never been able to achieve convincing results.

Over the years, Vogts's coaching has deteriorated, and since 08 he has succumbed to a national team like Azerbaijan that is outside the top 100 rankings, and has never been able to enter the mainstream football field again.

Yang Cheng's impression of Vogts was very general, but polite. He still has to build a good relationship with Vogts, and it makes sense to have more friends than more enemies, doesn't it?

"You played well in this game, and I hope you can keep up the good work!" Vogts smiled and wished.

Yang Cheng nodded and smiled, "I wish you good results!" ”

The two didn't say much, but after a few cursory pleasantries, Vogts turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard an overwhelming cheer from the stands. Look back. saw Yang Cheng waving to the fans in the stands, a move that made him get praise from all over the world.

Seeing this scene, Vogts couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in his heart, because he has never been very liked by fans.

Or, strictly speaking, he is not liked by the media.

During his tenure as head coach of the national team, football began to enter the media age, and from that time on. The way a person speaks and behaves in a TV interview is seen by fans as a proof of authenticity, and almost everyone knows him from television and the media, but Vogts has a hard time adapting to this environment.

He asked himself that he had a lot of expertise, but he didn't get more room to play, and he didn't understand why the media didn't like him, and neither did the players and the fans. He couldn't understand why, just as he couldn't understand why they liked Yang Cheng and liked his football. ..., perhaps, I am not as handsome as him!

Just as Vogts shook his head with a wry smile, he passed through the players' tunnel and saw a group of figures coming out of the passage, led by a middle-aged woman in a fiery red coat, who was German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

At this time, the Iron Lady was walking towards Yang Cheng with a smile on her face, and behind her, she was followed by a group of high-ranking officials in the German political circles, who obviously came to support Yang Cheng at home.

"A bunch of politicians are just putting on a show!" He could only secretly slander in his heart, sour.

…………

…………

Mighty Germany is back, and the Kaiser Stadium puts on a goal show!

The perfect score shows the true core of the national team, and the little pig perfectly plays the role of the core leader!

Caesar's national team made a perfect home debut, and the whole country celebrated two consecutive wins in the group!

The competition for the best coach in the world, the popular Caesar slaughtered Vogts!

……

The next day, the German team's victory was published on the front pages of major newspapers in Germany and Europe.

Yang Cheng's side were actually not perfect in this game, as Bild put it in the commentary, "In the first half hour of the game, our midfield looked chaotic, lacking grooming and scheduling, and our attacking players did not get strong support up front, which made our attack difficult. ”

"As a World Cup celebrity, Khedira has performed amazingly in the World Cup and has received the attention of countless big teams, but the problem is that he obviously failed to meet the requirements of Yang Cheng, who obviously cannot indulge the Stuttgart midfielder like Loew, Yang Cheng wants order and sustainability."

Bild's sentence is somewhat derogatory to Loew, there have always been media and fans who feel that Loew is too indulgent to Khedira and overly suppresses Ballack and others, and Khedira is from Stuttgart, Loew also debuted from coaching Stuttgart that year, and Stuttgart was beaten to perfection by Yang Cheng's Kaiserslautern.

Some conspiracy theorists have pointed out that Loew's suppression of Ballack and others was because of the failure that year, which made him feel a thorn in his heart, and he apparently believed more in a player like Khedira.

"Yang Cheng said in an interview with reporters after the game that Khedira is a player with excellent strength and potential, but he still does not know how to position his role on the court, which is obviously dissatisfied with Khedira, because the latter obviously resisted Yang Cheng's request."

In a previous interview with reporters, Khedira secretly said that Yang Cheng was too demanding of him. But Beckenbauer and former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said so. Yang Cheng's words must have his truth, Khedira should talk openly and honestly with Yang Cheng, and should not complain too much to the media, but now it seems that Khedira will obviously be beaten into the cold by Yang Cheng. ”

"Sven? Bender came off the bench for two games in a row and he was very clear about his positioning, a defensive player, a midfield barrier, a player with good ball handling and passing ability. There is a lack of creativity, but in the horizontal distribution of the ball, he is competent, and his attitude of actively investing in defense and pressing is also what Yang Cheng is most satisfied with. ”

"Liberating Schweinsteiger is undoubtedly what Yang Cheng wants to do the most, and now this big victory, even if the opponent is Azerbaijan. But the 7:0 victory allowed everyone to see the framework and foundation of Yang Cheng's national team. It only took them a dozen minutes of the first half to end the whole game. ”

"Yang Cheng's Germany is undoubtedly getting better, and we want to see the German national team getting stronger and stronger!" In contrast to Bild's comments, the kicker listed the relevant people interviewed by reporters after the game, including head coach Yang Cheng.

'We've had a lot of really good combinations, we've put a lot of pressure on the opposition in terms of pressing and control, and I'm proud and gratified as a manager to see the players improve and play like that, but I'm even more pleased. We don't settle for winning, we want to be the best we can be. ”

"As I said, what I want to see is a German national team full of ambition, full of winning **, full of will to fight, we have the quality to be a cut above our opponents, we have a great technical base. But that doesn't guarantee us to be a top team, but against Azerbaijan I saw that we have the quality and potential. ”

'We did a good job in this game, the team was well tuned, everybody knew what they were supposed to do and what they wanted to do, which was good, the team as a whole worked well and was in place, we had a common goal and determination, we had a lot of confidence, which is more satisfying than beating the opponents.

"But I don't want anyone to be satisfied because of this, we are still far from the best state, we are still in the run-in period, we still have higher goals, we still have huge room for improvement, I firmly believe that as long as we all unite and unify our goals, we will never give up, we will be stronger and stronger!"

Captain Lahm also said after the game, "We played a lot in the first half hour because we had a mistake in the tactics of the manager, but then we did well, we played well, we all got into the game, scored a lot of goals, played beautifully, and we are satisfied. ”

"But Mr. Yang Cheng pointed out some of our problems in the dressing room, he told us that there is still a lot of room for improvement, and we also expressed our willingness to continue to work hard for this, and we firmly believe that if we continue to maintain this momentum, we will be more effective in Euro 2012 and the World Cup 2014."

The team's vice-captain Schweinsteiger, captain Ballack, Kyle, Deisler, Mertesacker, Neuer and other players also expressed their support for Yang Cheng in interviews, believing that he was the key to the team's two consecutive victories, and also believed that the team implemented such tactics very well.

'In the past we played I was always feeling a threat when I was in front of the goal line, but in the last two games I feel very relieved, it's an instinctive feeling because my team-mates in front of me have done a good job of defending and pressing, and against Azerbaijan I made one save in the whole game and I can feel that the team is improving.

Manuel Neuer is clearly happy with the current state of the team, "If Caesar has made the biggest change to us, I think it is he who has made us more balanced in attack and defence, and I firmly believe that this is what all the top teams are looking for, we are also looking for him at the moment, and it is going well, I hope to continue the momentum that we have now!" ”

In addition to the media in Germany, the media in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain and other countries and regions have also paid attention to Yang Cheng's national team game, after the first game against Belgium, there was still a little controversy and worry, but after the game against Azerbaijan, this controversy and worry have completely disappeared.

Azerbaijan is indeed a team outside the hundred. But this team is not as vulnerable as the outside world thinks. The German team was able to slaughter the opponent 7:0, although it had the advantage of being at home, but the overall strength of the German team, as well as the combat effectiveness shown in the game, are worthy of praise. ..., whether it is Kyle, who has returned to the national team, or Sven, who has been officially selected for the first time in Germany's official match squad? Bender, both showed satisfactory strength and form.

As the kicker said, Kyle returned to his debut as a centre-back and re-demonstrated his quality under Yang Cheng. He has a great style of handling and possessing the ball at the back, and his help and support are very solid, which is very reassuring, and the combination with Mertesacker is also eye-catching.

Polite? Bender was the biggest finding in the two games, Khedira loves to attack forward, Sven? Bender is more secure and more defensive, obviously. The latter is the ideal partner for Schweinsteiger. And the Kaiserslautern youngster also squeezed Khedira out of the main squad through two games and established himself in the national team.

"After 30 minutes of playing in the first half, Khedira has undoubtedly fallen out of favor, and he wants to be on the training list for the second phase of Caesar, and it seems that there is little hope unless he can have the opportunity to change his impression and positioning in Yang Cheng's mind. He will most likely miss Caesar's national team, at least Sven? Bender and Traesch are both ranked higher in the rankings than him! ”

After playing this European Championship qualifier, the Group A matches are all over.

Germany played two games, beating Belgium and Azerbaijan 1-0 and 7-0 respectively to temporarily top the group, while Turkey beat Kazakhstan and Belgium 3-0 and 3-2 respectively to finish second in the group.

Austria beat Kazakhstan 2-0. With one less round, it is in third place in the group.

At the end of the two-week international break in September, the German team will be disbanded in Kaiserslautern, but the national team will also regroup for training and preparation for the European Championship qualifiers on 3 October, when the national leagues are suspended.

Germany will host Turkey's strongest opponents in the group on 8 October and then away to Kazakhstan on 12 October, with the former being one of the group's most high-profile key matchups, especially after Belgium suffered two defeats in a row, and Germany's strongest rival in the group is undoubtedly Turkey.

The strength of this team should not be underestimated at all, and Yang Cheng did not forget to arrange scouts to follow up on Turkey's two matches against Belgium and Kazakhstan when he played the qualifiers, and submitted a detailed match report.

Only by winning Turkey will the German team be in a more favorable situation in Group A, and must win the group to ensure qualification.

But just after the team was disbanded, the media had already begun to hype Yang Cheng's Caesar Phase II.

Judging from these two games, Yang Cheng's main lineup is already very clear, Neuer has a firm foothold, and the positions of Ram, Kyle, and Mertesacker on the back line are also very solid, and Jérôme, who was originally seen to be won by Yang Cheng? Boateng is now firmly occupying the position of the main right-back, and his performance is very solid.

The configuration of the double back, after Schweinsteiger was liberated, the combat effectiveness was very strong, especially in this game against Azerbaijan, as he took the initiative to take on some leadership responsibilities, the team built a midfield around him, which is already the consensus of everyone, and Yang Cheng equipped Schweinsteiger with a defensive partner, which is also the consensus.

Tresch has good abilities, but Sven? Bender is in good form, and both could be partners with Schweinsteiger, while Khedira will leave the national team, which is also the consensus, and it is clear that the player is no longer liked by Yang Cheng.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the darling of the Loew era may not be able to continue to be favored in the era of Caesar.

Attacking the avant-garde, Thomas? Muller's performance is eye-catching, worthy of recognition, Klose has always been consistent, Ozil is the core of the team's frontcourt, Deisler plays a significant role, these four players can be said to occupy the main position, but Yang Cheng to Toney? Cross and Mario? Gotze is equally bullish and it is likely that these players will continue to be selected.

There is no problem with Gomez being selected in the attack, Podolski has to show his form in the club, and as for the team's nominal captain, Ballack, there are many possibilities to continue to be selected, because Yang Cheng praised Ballack's role in the national team by name at the press conference after playing in Azerbaijan.

Also going to be selected are two youngsters, Bad Stuber and Hummels, both of whom were handpicked by Yang Cheng.

"According to the reporter's observation, Yang Cheng repeatedly called a stop in training, reminded and criticized Bad Stuber and Hummels, which is obviously evidence that he is dissatisfied with the two players, but it is precisely because of this, but it proves that Yang Cheng appreciates and cultivates these two players, maybe Yang Cheng hopes that they can become the backbone of the national team in the next few years, after all, Kyle is not young, and there have been a lot of injuries recently, so he must prepare early."

According to the media's speculation, Yang Cheng did not participate in it, and he did not draw up specific candidates for the time being, but some people will leave, and some people will stay, which is for sure, but the specific situation can only be decided according to the state of the players in the league.

Playing the qualifiers is like this, all the players who are in good shape are required, they can play when they come, and there is no time to adjust and run-in.
