854 International Scramble
The German president and the chancellor have different powers, the former has more symbolic meaning than actual power, while the latter has more real power, so Merkel has a higher reporting rate, but the German president is not, and I am afraid that many people in the world do not know that there is still a president in Germany.
However, in Germany, there have been a lot of rumors about the German president recently, and not only because of the former President Khorst? Koehler announced his resignation on May 31, becoming the first president to resign since World War II. Woolf announced her appointment on June 30.
What's more, the 51-year-old Woolf has a 36-year-old first lady, the first lady named Bettina is tall and outstanding, known as the epitome of modern German women, focusing on fashion trends and personal image, and is the object of countless media pursuits.
Football has a pivotal position in Germany, and the national team has performed well in the World Cup, so after Woolf came to power, she decided to reward the members of the German national team who won the runner-up in the World Cup.
All members of the German national team who made the 23-man squad for the World Cup arrived at Bellevue Palace, the presidential palace in Berlin, to be received by German President Woolf and presented medals, while the ceremony was broadcast live on German television.
In addition to President Woolf, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and First Lady Bettina also attended the ceremony.
Countless fans gathered outside the walls of the entire presidential palace, and more than 100 reporters took pictures at the scene, and the scene was very lively.
Yang Cheng is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among these people, dressed in a straight suit and a rare tie, it is rare to see him dressed so formally, I didn't expect to dress up with such a mature and stable manly atmosphere.
Many people only suddenly found out that he is actually not young, 38 years old, and sometimes he really doesn't look that old. Especially looking at his dressing up, coupled with his enthusiasm for exercise, the whole person's spirit is the same as that of a young man in his thirties.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Woolfatte, this sixty-year-old guy is no older than Yang Cheng at all, it is indeed a little unexpected, if you just see his photos, you would never have imagined that he would be so old.
"Hello. Mr. Yang Cheng! First Lady Bettina walked over with a smile, and Yang Cheng recognized at a glance that the clothes on her body were from Heidi? Krum's handwriting, and, according to media reports, the German first lady and Heidi? Krum has a very good relationship.
"Hello, Mrs. Woolf!" Yang Cheng responded politely, after all, he was his own customer.
"My husband and I both appreciate your football philosophy. We're not just fans of Germany, we're fans of yours and we love Real Madrid with you, it's an amazing team! Bettina smiled gracefully.
"Thank you!" Yang Cheng said politely.
The two were talking with a smile on the side, which was immediately captured by reporters and the media, and the live TV cameras were also frequently given to them.
Bettina was followed by German President Woolf. He presented Yang Cheng with a medal and a commemorative trophy.
When Yang Cheng received these two gifts from Woolf, the German president smiled and said that he hoped that Yang Cheng could continue to lead the national team to achieve higher glory, and he said that Germany pinned all its expectations on Yang Cheng and the German team he led, hoping that they would make persistent efforts and not let the German people down. Yang Cheng said with a smile that he would do his best to lead the German team and German football to the top.
Afterwards. Yang Cheng accepted an exclusive interview with German television. Let's talk about my feelings about winning the award.
"I am proud and proud to have received this award from President Woolf. I also hope that through this award ceremony, I can inspire all the members of the German national team to bring a championship trophy to German football in the near future, so that all German fans can be proud of it! ”
Yang Cheng's words were also cheered by all the onlookers outside the presidential palace, who shouted Yang Cheng's name one after another, and the latter walked out of the garden of the presidential palace at the invitation of the TV station staff and came to the fence to interact with all the fans through the iron fence, signing autographs and taking photos for them.
After that, the German Chancellor also met with the players separately to give encouragement to the fans, and Merkel will also go to the scene with Woolf to watch the match between Germany and Turkey, and at the same time appeared in the stands UEFA President Beckenbauer and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, which shows the weight and attention of this game.
After attending the award ceremony at the Presidential Palace, Yang Cheng went to attend the pre-match press conference held by the German Football Association, and this time he was accompanied by Ozil, who has received the most attention from the media recently.
…………
…………
As early as after the incident of Turkish fans marching in front of the German national team, the media very much hoped to have the opportunity to interview Yang Cheng and the person concerned, Ozil, but Yang Cheng had previously explained to the national team leader Bierhoff and refused all interview requests, and he wanted to give the national team a peaceful environment to prepare for the game.
So this time, it is understandable that Yang Cheng attended the press conference, but everyone was surprised to bring Ozil.
Yang Cheng is known for protecting his players, and he has even fallen out with the media many times to protect his players, so when he appeared at the press conference with Mesut Ozil, a player who is on the cusp, he immediately began to talk about it, but the person concerned seemed relatively calm.
Only Yang Cheng himself knew that Ozil, who was sitting next to him, was not calm at all and looked a little nervous.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" A reporter was the first to get permission and stood up, "First of all, we all want to know, Germany fought Turkey, and met Hiddink again, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" ”
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "I have a lot of respect for Hiddink, he is a very high-level head coach. We've had a good exchange and I admire his expertise, but unfortunately I'm going to lead Germany and do everything I can to beat him and his Turkey in this upcoming match, and I'm sure he will do the same. ”
"But will Deisler's absence affect your line-up?" Another reporter stood up.
"That's for sure!" Yang Cheng nodded, "Sebastian is a very high-level professional player. He's got great technique and creativity, he's got to be more dangerous with the ball and with him, he's going to make a football game much easier, but we have to learn to get used to playing without any player. ”
'Football is more about winning games as a whole and Sebastian's absence will affect us. But we have other good players and I think they have the quality to replace Sebastian, so I don't think it's a problem at all, we're still going to play at the highest level in the game. ”
After listening to this, many reporters couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and Yang Cheng's answer was watertight. The well-informed Caesar certainly knows how to deal with such a situation, so he gave Deisler a hand, but also said that other players will get a chance to prove their quality. It's definitely an incentive for other players.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, what do you think of the incident that happened before, when Turkish fans besieged the training ground of the German national team?" A reporter stood up and asked.
Yang Cheng thought about it with a smile, shook his head and said: "The word siege is not quite right, because I didn't see the siege, and this matter has been resolved, so there is no problem, I think this is more like a group of fanatical fans doing something that is not calm and rational enough to help the team they love, that's all." ”
It's not just Yang Cheng. Both the police and the German Football Association are interested in downplaying the matter. After all, there are too many Turkish immigrants in Germany, not to mention them. The number of immigrant internationals at all levels in Germany has also reached 24, and if this is a big deal, it will definitely have a bad impact on them.
Over the years, scouting teams set up by football associations of other countries have been looking for rookie talents in Germany, because since the establishment of a youth training system based on Yang Cheng's philosophy in Germany, talents at all levels have emerged in an endless stream, such as Shaheen, Altentop brothers and others, who are all stars cultivated by the German football youth training system.
Football associations in other countries have not done enough to train players in the youth training, so they have done everything possible to beat these people's ideas.
Yang Cheng had heard Nilsbach mention before that the Turkish Football Association had set up a scouting system composed of 25 scouts, specifically responsible for finding rookie talents throughout Germany, led by a person named Kosse, who had played in the Dortmund team in the Bundesliga, and had a deep understanding of German football.
The scouting team led by Kosse was established in Cologne, responsible for finding Turkish descendants in various places, but they will not pay attention to it from a young age, but from the U15 national team and above, almost all age groups of national teams have their people to investigate, and it was they who conveyed the information and situation of Ozil, Tashcher and others to the Turkish Football Association, and the Turkish Football Association also got in touch with the players through them, and did everything possible to get them back to their homeland to play.
After understanding, Yang Cheng found that in fact, this is actually a competition for human resources, but also a competition for interests, it doesn't matter whether you love the country or not, whether you are a traitor or not, because the Turkish Football Association has achieved little success in youth training, and then sees the success of German football youth training, so you want to get a piece of the pie, and Kosse's scouting team is evidence.
And the Turkish descendants, including Shaheen and Altentop brothers, chose to return to their homeland, which is the credit of Kosse and others, which is nothing in itself, Ozil and Tashkher play for the German team, which is understandable, after all, German football has cultivated them from childhood to adulthood, so there is really no need for the whole thing to be on the line.
Of course, the German Football Association is not completely unprepared for this, and recently Nilsbach has given a policy specifically for immigrant international players, one of which is that when every child of an immigrant family is called up to the national team and club youth team, the head coach and the coach in charge must understand and communicate with the player's family, and must prepare a report on the player's religious beliefs, taboos, eating habits, etc.
At the same time, in addition to giving these players more care in daily life and training, the German Football Association will often send some special souvenirs and gifts to increase their sense of identity with German football. ..., these cares are certainly not to encourage them to be lazy, but to be like some Muslims during Ramadan. Whether it is appropriate to reduce their training volume, or provide a series of other help, etc., Yang Cheng's research center has accumulated a set of rich experience to help Muslim players through Ramadan's training methods and eating habits.
"May I ask Mr. Yang Cheng, are you worried that this incident will have some adverse effects on the preparation of the national team?"
"I'm not worried at all!" Yang Cheng nodded, "They are all adults, and they all have rich experience in the game, I think if they affect their game and competitive state because of this kind of thing." Then they can't be in the national team and I'm sure they can handle the pressure well. ”
"May I ask Ozil, what do you think about this time? Have you ever regretted your choice? ”
Ozil looked at Yang Cheng, who nodded, indicating that he could answer boldly.
"I have nothing to regret, I am of Turkish descent. My parents are also of Turkish descent, but we came to Germany from my grandparents' generation, I was born in Gelsenkirchen, I grew up in Germany, I was educated and cultured in Germany, and I am not afraid to be honest, I don't know much about Turkey, I don't know anything about it, but even so. For me, it was a very difficult choice to turn down Turkey and represent Germany! ”
After a pause, Ozil raised his head and looked at the crowd, "I was 18 years old that year, and I loved Turkey and Turkish culture. But I decided to grow for me. Serving the country that cultivated me, I believe there is nothing to blame for this. Right? ”
'We have a lot of immigrants from other countries in our national team, we have all had exchanges with each other, we all feel very good about Germany, we grew up in the German football youth system, we didn't think about playing for other countries, it's not because we don't love our country, it's because we like the country we are now.
"My family, relatives, friends are very understanding and supportive of my decision, I hope that the Turkish fans will also be supportive and understanding, although I will not be able to play for Turkey, but I will be a Turkish fan and I am willing to cheer for them and hope they can achieve better results."
As soon as Ozil's words were finished, he saw another reporter stand up, pointing at Ozil with righteous indignation, and saying a lot of words that even Yang Cheng didn't understand, but soon, the simultaneous interpretation equipment made Yang Cheng understand, the reporter was questioning Ozil, so who does he support in the next match between Turkey and Germany?
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "As a professional player, his task is to complete the tasks assigned to him by me as the head coach no matter what the circumstances, this is his duty!" ”
Everyone at the scene immediately applauded secretly, Yang Cheng is not only the head coach of the German national team, but also the head coach of Real Madrid.
The next few questions were also related to the game, and the host specially selected some more reliable media reporters in Germany to ask questions, and then ended the press conference hastily not long after.
"Thank you, Chief!" After the press conference, Ozil walked out of the scene and said with a grateful face, he really didn't know how to answer at that time, and if he answered in favor of Germany, it was estimated that the Turkish fans would be even more aggressive against him.
"Don't thank me, this is what I should do!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm glad you agreed to my request to attend this press conference, which proves that you have the same determination in your heart." "Yes!" Ozil nodded, "You're right, I shouldn't be cowardly and evasive. ”
"That's good, I can foresee that during the game, the tens of thousands of fans from Turkey will do everything possible to interfere with you, because you are an important part of our attack, and they want to affect our team's attack by harassing them, which is their strategy, nothing else."
'I want you to be able to show your quality without being influenced by them, help the team win and fight back with a good performance.' Yang Cheng said earnestly.
Ozil nodded, "I know what to do, sir, don't worry!" ”
"Be brave boy, you can do it!" Yang Cheng smiled and encouraged.
It can be seen that Ozilken stands up, which means that he wants to accept and face these Turkish fans, at least this is more courageous than before, and Yang Cheng hopes that he can use this incident to make himself stronger, more confident and combative, at least no longer so easily affected and interfered.
For Ozil, Yang Cheng always feels that he will be an important part of the German frontcourt attack, especially in the midfield position, he can play his strengths, and a large part of Yang Cheng's midfield offensive tactics revolve around Ozil, which makes his role in today's German team very obvious.
If Mesut Ozil can improve his scoring ability and make his play more consistent, he will take it to the next level and give the German team a huge boost as a whole.
Of course, this will take time, and there is no hurry!
