4 Lesson 1 (I)
The summer temperature in Chemnitz is not high, but it is relatively cool compared to China.
The second team is also a regular team in Chemnitz, so they also have to follow the club's training schedule every day, and they also participate in regular league and cup competitions organised by the German Football Association, albeit on an amateur basis.
Yang Cheng came to the training ground in Chemnitz early, a very small training ground with very simple facilities, the first team accounted for most of it, and the rest was arranged for the second team and the academy.
After searching for the super coach assistance system, Yang Cheng found that the Chemnitz second team and the youth team have a lot of numbers, but the potential is average!
From the tradition left over from the East German period, the discipline of the players in Chemnitz is very good, which should also be regarded as a characteristic of the country, and if the discipline is good, no one dares to be late, no one dares to be a thorn, especially in Germany, which is known as the best and most rigid order.
As soon as the training time came, Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, and the players lined up in three rows, all with solemn faces, closed their mouths, and looked at the 23-year-old head coach in front of them.
Sweeping the votes in the team, the youngest of them was only 16 years old, with a young and childish face, some of the older ones were about the same as Yang Cheng, but they looked very old, but now they had to stand obediently in front of them one by one, obedient like a good baby, Yang Cheng felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
But what made Yang Cheng even more excited was that he found that familiar figure in the crowd.
"Hey, who's that kid?"
"So young, is it the new second team manager?"
"Hey, he's been coming to the club for two months, he's been here at the end of last season, he's been working with Reinhardt in the first team, he offended Reinhardt yesterday and was beaten, you look at his face, it's still swollen, he was sent to the second team today, it's probably to demonstrate!"
"Also, this kid is too young, he has stood for so long, he doesn't let out a fart, okay!"
Many of them are parents of second-team players, unemployed at home, living on welfare, and watching their children play football when they have nothing to do, and encourage them from time to time.
But their way of encouragement is forbidden by Yang Cheng, and even hated it!
"Ha, you're just in time, Tim, do me a favor!" Yang Cheng saw Tim Hank coming over with a depressed face.
"Is this the first order I've ever received since I was sent to the second team?" Tim asked with a wry smile.
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Sent to the second team?" Is it ......?"
Tim Hank shrugged, "yes, that's right, damn the black fner threw me on the second team!" ”
"Oh my God...... He actually ...... I'm sorry, I hurt you, if I hadn't ......" Yang Cheng felt strange and uncomfortable, especially after listening to Tim's feelings about him and his father towards Chemnitz yesterday, you can imagine what Tim's heart was like at this time.
"Don't say I'm sorry, in the final analysis, I was unlucky, and I also affected you!" Tim interrupted Yang Cheng's words.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the first-team training area not far away, the gray-haired middle-aged German Reinhardt Heifner happened to look at this side, he gritted his teeth, "It's okay, Tim, believe me, he won't be arrogant for long, I must let him get out of Chemnitz in a gray way!" ”
Tim followed Yang Cheng's line of sight, and happened to see Hefner, after hearing this, he gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Yes, give him a lesson, and use practice to prove that the latest chapter of martial arts has passed, and now it is no longer the East Germany period, now it is the Federal Republic of Germany, and now football must catch up with the trend of the times and keep pace with the times!" ”
"That's right!" Yang Cheng immediately smiled and patted Tim's shoulder hard.
"Say, Yang Cheng, what do you want me to do?" Tim got the motivation too.
Yang Cheng swept to the sidelines and pointed to the parents of the chattering players, "Get them all out of the training ground!" ”
Tim was still bulging his chest just now, and when he heard this, Tim almost screamed, "They? They're all parents of the players, and they're just here to cheer on the players! ”
"I know, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have chased them!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"Why?" Tim didn't understand.
Yang Cheng was a little impatient, training time was precious, he had already wasted a few minutes today, "Okay, Tim, I'll explain these to you later, you do it right away, okay?" ”
Looking at Yang Cheng deeply, Tim finally did so, and called two or three staff members to follow and help when he went to the sidelines.
It didn't take long for there to be a curse outside the training ground, it turned out that Tim and two staff members were politely "asking" the parents of those players to leave, and the parents were dissatisfied with this, cursing Yang Cheng, and even some people issued racial discrimination such as yellow-skinned monkeys.
The commotion outside the training ground naturally attracted the attention of the players in the training ground, and they all turned their heads sideways to look.
"Is it pretty?" Yang Cheng asked with a casual smile.
Quite a few players immediately nodded in agreement.
"If you like to watch it, then you can go outside to see it, and you won't use it in the future!" Yang Cheng smiled, but there was not the slightest joke in his tone, but he was extremely serious.
Glancing at this group of childish-looking German teenagers, Yang Cheng knew in his heart that he must establish his prestige on the first day, and at the same time, he must also establish his own coaching philosophy on the first day, so that they can all understand what the head coach wants!
"This is a training ground, not a playground, it's a battlefield!" Yang Cheng specially accentuated the two words of the battlefield, "But it is definitely not a battlefield where you come and go and keep fouling, because when you enter here, you must abide by the rules of football, but look at it, what did you do here before?" Do you guys look like you're playing football? ”
There was a sneer, and Yang Cheng's tone was full of contempt.
This is what Yang Cheng learned when he was searching for his previous memories, when he learned in the first team that the players of the youth team played very rough and committed frequent fouls, but the coaches and parents not only did not stop it, but instead contributed to it, this is not a way to help young players improve at all.
Tim Hank listened silently on the side, and then he understood that the reason why Yang Cheng wanted to get rid of those parents was here, because he had already discovered that the second team played roughly, and the encouragement of parents was also one of the reasons.
While Tim was thinking, Yang Cheng's words continued.
"I've seen your results, most of you have been through the last two seasons of the youth league and you know very well what the results are, I don't think it's an honour, on the contrary, I feel ashamed because you haven't won a single game in the last season."
Seeing standing in the front row, a player who looked the most mature seemed to open his mouth, but Yang Cheng suddenly waved his hand, "I know what excuse you are looking for, many of the opponents in the regional league are senior teams, but is this an excuse?" They're just amateur teams, but what about you? Your goal is the Pro Team! ”
These players were lowered by Yang Cheng one by one, and they didn't dare to say a word, because they didn't have the results and strength to refute at all.
"Today is my first training session in charge of the youth team, and the first thing I want to tell you is to forget about your little moves, forget about those foul tricks, because when your mind is always full of that, the opponent has already passed you and scored.
"What I want from my team is to avoid unnecessary fouls, to win the game in an open and honest way, for 90 minutes, to keep everyone fully engaged in the game, I will not allow players who are loose and ignore the discipline of the team, this is my first commandment, you must absolutely remember!"
