Everyone is convinced that behind every successful team there is an obscure team of professionals who are not well-known and never appear in the newspapers, but who play a vital role in the team.

Yang Cheng, praised by the media and countless professionals as the world's most forward-looking head coach, is one of the first head coaches to introduce high-tech into the field of football, and is also the first head coach to bring high-tech into the training ground and bring it to the field.

From Inter Milan to Liverpool to Real Madrid, Yang Cheng's coaching resume is undoubtedly brilliant and successful, but everywhere he goes, he has been able to coach the team to success at the same time, but also to further expand the scale of himself and the research center behind it, and run it better and better.

Everyone said that many games were actually won or lost long before the whistle was blown, and that the two sides were engaged in an unfair contest from the beginning, and this sentence to some extent represents the meticulousness of the preparations, as well as the quality of the intelligence, who has the more accurate information first, who often has a better chance of controlling the opportunity.

On the floor next to the headquarters of the German Football Association, where the Olympic Committee is located, an office has been specially opened for the intelligence analysis team prepared by Yang Cheng, and all the software and hardware facilities have been put in place and installed, and 80 student elites and 10 research experts are also in place.

They sat opposite Yang Cheng, all of them looked at Yang Cheng on the stage intently, some of them were younger than Yang Cheng. Some were older than him, but they all looked at him intently and listened to him.

Yang Cheng's appeal was extraordinary, and when students at the University of Sport Cologne and the University of Leipzig heard that it was Yang Cheng and his research center recruiting interns. The registration was very enthusiastic, and in less than five days, a total of more than 300 students who met the requirements signed up. You know, these requirements are very professional. It's very high, and it's not easy to be able to meet in itself.

In Jurgen? Buschman and Tim? Hank eliminated most of them in the audition, leaving behind 80 elite students, all of whom excelled in different fields but who all came together to form the think tank of the German national team.

Yes, think tank, this is the title that Yang Cheng gave to this team.

"According to the intelligence and information I have received. Every country has teams like us, big and small, but we are far ahead in terms of numbers and expertise, which means that you are all elite! ”

Yang Cheng directly praised him at the beginning, which made many people present feel happy.

"I'm sure you all know more or less about me and my team!"

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present nod in unison, this is in German football. Especially for those of them who are college students majoring in physical education, it is already a familiar thing.

"The first club I coached was Chemnitz and now I'm playing in the Bundesliga, and when I went to Kaiserslautern, there were only a handful of coaching staff in Kaiserslautern. But I asked at the time that I wanted to divide the responsibilities of each member of the coaching staff. ”

"The team from the Kaiserslautern coaching staff at the time has been with me all these years, Tim who is in charge of physical training? Hank, Moniz and Mulenstin with their technical skills, Chris with their skills and sports science? Schmidt, and Paul, who is good at defensive organization and drilling? Beyer, plus our goalkeeper coach Di Palma, who joined the team when I was in charge of Inter. ”

"I remember, there were people who thought it was useless to have so many professional coaches, Tim? Hank only knows how to train physically, but he doesn't understand techniques and tactics, so why do you ask him to do it? Moniz and Mulenstin also know how to train skills, do they know tactics, do they know how to train players? ”…,

Yang Cheng said to the group of elites of the two prestigious universities below in an almost joking way, which caused them an uproar, because this view is so funny now.

"But according to what I've learned, by 2010 the number of professionals on the coaching staff in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga has increased from a meagre 25 to 278 now, do you realize what that means?"

"Not only in Germany, but also in Italy, the Premier League, La Liga, the increasingly professional and huge coaching staff has become the standard, before Ferguson complained to me, he said that I brought out the atmosphere, resulting in his coaching staff at Manchester United suddenly dozens of people, some of which he can't remember the name, I jokingly asked rhetorically, is it easy to use?"

Everyone present burst into laughter, because they were all beneficiaries of the trend brought out by Yang Cheng, and many of them would go on to some clubs or other sports fields after graduation.

For them, being able to intern in Yang Cheng's research center will undoubtedly be their proudest capital when they leave the campus and take charge of their own affairs in the future, because in the field of sports, the Caesar Research Center represents authority, similar to Microsoft in the software field.

"I have always adhered to a rule, that is, no one is born to know everything, and for some areas and things that I don't understand and are not good at, then leave it to people who are good at it, so many people ask me, why are you here today? My answer is always the same, it's not just me who I am today, it's my players, the club's management, and my whole huge team behind the scenes. ”

"From now on, this includes all of you here!"

Yang Cheng's words were immediately met with a round of warm applause, because everyone could feel that Yang Cheng regarded them as part of his own team.

"If you want to work in this team, you must first understand our own set of software, which they call Super Coach!" As Yang Cheng spoke, a software interface appeared on the big screen behind him.

"This software is divided into two systems. One is pre-match preparation, the other is game analysis, and the former, as the name suggests, is the preparation for a game. This includes data collection of opponents, research of opponents, analysis of the physical condition of opponents and our own players, etc., including all the information on both sides and foe, as well as some game videos and videos. ”

"Match analysis. You don't have much access to, after upgrading. This software can track and quantify the whole game in real time, and he can convert the game screen into a two-dimensional picture, and count the data of each player, including running distance, running area, speed, confrontation, passing route, team cooperation, etc. ”

"Through this software, our coaching staff can keep track of their opponents' every move during and after the game, and understand the physical information and game status of each of their players, all of which allows us to know ourselves and our opponents better. And then you can find a way to defeat your opponents! ”

Yang Cheng's introduction made everyone present nod involuntarily, in fact, they all knew very well that the core secret of the Caesar Research Center was not only this huge and comprehensive set of software, but also a series of supporting hardware equipment, which is now sold out in various sports fields around the world.

However, because the Caesar Research Center is engaged in behind-the-scenes work, it is profitable, but it is not well known.

"You're more exposed to pre-match preparation, and we'll arrange for each of you to license a set of mobile phone software at that time. You can log in to the software directly with your mobile phone, contact the server directly, enter your information and intelligence anytime and anywhere, and then find time for unified sorting and analysis. ”…,

"We analysed the opposition in a wide range of ways, from the strengths and weaknesses of the team, the offensive and defensive characteristics. These are all big details, from the position and distance between the opponent's players and players, the degree of cooperation between passing and receiving the ball, including whether they can pass the ball to their teammates' steps, as well as the details of the player's stopping the ball and stopping habits, etc. ”

"There are also all kinds of news summary of the players off the field, just like Bayern Munich was recently exposed by the media, Brenaud set fire to his house, and I can be sure that Brenaud's state in the next period of time will definitely not be good, because he has to feel sorry for his house at the same time, and he has to be busy finding a place to live!"

Yang Cheng's joke greatly enlivened the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone smiled heartily, Brenaud is indeed a cheating father!

For the use of software and the responsibilities of these interns, Yang Cheng also introduced their work in great detail, arranged them in detail, and strived to make each of them more aware of their responsibilities and roles in the team.

Only when the division of labor is clear, can the team run as soon as possible.

"Our goal is the European Championships, and my requirement is that after each game, the next opponent's game analysis report will be handed over to me, and at the same time, we will be updated in real time, and our coaching staff will have to keep track of the opponent's movements and situation anytime and anywhere, which of their players is injured, how the injury is, whether it is serious or not, I have to know all this."

Joining this team is an honor and an affirmation, but at the same time, it is also a challenge and pressure, because Yang Cheng has very high requirements for all colleagues, which is already a fact recognized all over the world.

You must know that after each game of Real Madrid, the next opponent's game analysis report is more than 1,000 pages at most, and after it is handed over to the coaching staff, it is analyzed and sorted out, and finally sorted into a report of about 10 pages, which brings together all the information, and in the tactical meeting, it is handed over to each player.

Meticulous preparation is often the key to ensuring Real Madrid's victory, but for the average fan, they may be more focused on the performance of the stars during the game, while the entire huge team behind them seems to be obscure.

"I hope that all of you who join this team will have a sense that you will not appear in the newspapers, that everything you have done for this team will not be known by the fans, because your work will determine that you will not be able to appear in front of everyone, and even you will have to remain silent at all times and not give away the slightest secret."

"A lot of people say that football is a war, yes, it is a war, and you can even be said to be agents and intelligence officers who guide the situation and direction of the war, and I hope that each and every one of you can be mentally prepared. It's going to be hard and it's not easy. ”

"But I believe that when you see a piece of information that you have worked so hard to gather. You will be proud to be able to help the members of the national team beat their opponents on the pitch. Be proud because you will find out. In every victory, you have a share of the credit in it! ”

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present feel a burst of enthusiasm, most of them are Germans, they all love football, love the German national team, so they all hope that German football can beat their opponents, and this will also become the motivation and spiritual pillar for them to work harder.

"I'm fucking tired!"

As soon as he walked back to his office in the German Football Association. Yang Cheng sat on the soft sofa, shook his head incessantly, and sighed deeply, because he had indeed been busy day and night for a period of time recently. "No, I think your speech is very incendiary!" "Tim? Hank teased with a laugh.

Paul? Bayer also agreed, "You can go to MLM!" ”

Yang Cheng almost didn't scold, but quickly cleaned up his mood. Sit up, "Tim, ask you a question!" ”

As soon as his expression came out, everyone knew that it was serious, so they didn't joke. They all listened carefully.

"From the end of the league to the start of the European Championship, do you think we can have a high-intensity training session and pull up the fitness and make sure the players support until the end?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Usually, after a busy season, the physical condition of the players is already at the end of the strong crossbow, so many strong teams often because of the physical problems of the players, resulting in them not going far in the large-scale national team competitions, such as England, although many people think it is an excuse, but Yang Cheng feels that it is not completely without physical factors.

"On a lot?" Tim? Hank frowned when he heard this, "I'm afraid this is not very easy to do, because it is usually based on recovery training, to ensure that the team goes straight into the form at the beginning of the cup competition, if we play a lot, I am afraid it will have a big impact!" ”

Take the European Championship as an example, if you play a lot, you don't adjust well, and the group stage situation is tragic, you can't qualify at all, and then you adjust your physical fitness well, and you are eliminated and go home, so what's the point?

Therefore, the normal practice of all teams is to recover training and adjust their physical fitness and state, but although this can ensure the state and physical fitness of the team in the opening stage to the greatest extent, it is often in the middle and late stages, and there will be problems with physical fitness, especially the physical fitness and state of some core players, which are often not guaranteed.

This was very evident in the 2010 World Cup, where core stars such as Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi were all sluggish in the World Cup, or not in their best form, or even slightly better.

Don't look at Spain's, but in fact, it is more of an advantage in overall strength, in terms of player status, Spain is not playing very well from the beginning, often through the game one game at a time, slowly find the state, and then through their Spanish football style to ensure physical fitness.

"What? Do you want to spend a lot of time at the end of the season? "Paul? Bayer also frowned.

Yang Cheng didn't say anything, smiled, and asked Tim in turn? Hank and Chris? Schmidt, "If from now on, we have specially arranged manpower, collected all aspects of the international team's data, and then carried out high-intensity training after the season, do you have the confidence to adjust the condition and fitness of the players in the shortest possible time?" ”

Chris? Schmidt and Tim? Hank glanced at each other, both of them feeling that this question was not easy.

"I'm sure, but there's no way to guarantee time!" Chris said a little embarrassed.

Physical fitness is cyclical, although it can be artificially controlled through training, but if you really want to be meticulous to the specific time of the state, it is undoubtedly difficult, and the state is even more elusive.

Many athletes, such as track and field athletes, are preparing for the Olympics or other events on a long-term basis, so they can adjust their form and fitness during the Olympics through some competition stimulation and training, but it takes time.

However, from the end of the league to the opening of the European Cup, it was only about half a month, coupled with a series of problems such as team training and injuries, it can be said that Yang Cheng's requirements are indeed high, and it can even be said to be harsh.

Of course, if successful, the German national team will certainly be in better physical condition than other teams, which in turn will translate into a competitive advantage for the German team.

"You guys go and look into it!" Yang Cheng asked Tim heavily? Hank and Chris? Schmidt, and then turned to Paul? Beyer, "Immediately arrange for manpower to track and collect data on all international and fringe internationals, which can be obtained directly from their clubs through the Football Association, or through personal dealings." ”

Paul? After hearing this, Bayer looked at Tim helplessly? Hank and Chris? Schmidt, laughing bitterly.

"Anyway, I'm used to this guy's madness!" The German shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Tim? Hank and Chris? Schmidt also nodded in agreement, and the room couldn't help but laugh.

"I am sticking to our Chinese belief that diligence can make up for clumsiness, since our skills are inferior to others, then we must make up for this deficiency through hard work, which requires us to have strong physical fitness!"

When he said this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Using physical strength to drag down and defeat opponents has always been the old business of German chariots, and it is also a good trick, how can you say that you will lose it?" ”

This guy's mouth can be said to be alive if he is dead, and everyone really has no choice but to follow him. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
