The football foundation in East Germany is really weak, whether it is in terms of youth training or training facilities, it is far behind West Germany, coupled with the grudge entanglement between East Germany and West Germany, so that the German Football Association's initiative to help has always been difficult to be recognized and affirmed.

However, this time, Yang Cheng's unintentional move brought a great boost to the German Football Association.

Thorson? Guccio, the former East German No. 1 striker, travelled to Frankfurt to negotiate a series of matters with the DFB, and his career has come to the end of his season, after completing his contract with Dresden, he announced his retirement and then moved to the training center in the middle of the three cities of Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz.

Located in the forest area south of Norsen, the surrounding environment is very good, which is also a particularly important aspect of the German Football Association's location, and the transportation is convenient, you can go directly to the 40 and 14 highways outside the door, half an hour to Chemnitz and Dresden, and an hour to Leipzig.

Although it was only a groundbreaking ceremony, many big names were present, such as the governor of Saxony, the German sports minister, the president and vice-president of the German Football Association, and almost the entire leadership team of German football and Saxony was present.

With so many big people present, the presence of Yang Cheng and his entourage was just icing on the cake, after all, this was a very politically significant move, and it was impossible for him to be a foreigner to be in the limelight.

However, during the groundbreaking ceremony, it was Yang Cheng who was the most popular with fans at the scene, especially many Chemnitz fans, who drove to the groundbreaking ceremony and shouted Yang Cheng's name, which made Yang Cheng the most popular person among fans in the entire groundbreaking ceremony.

And after the groundbreaking ceremony, the governor of Saxony also directly approached Yang Cheng.

"Thank you so much for the help you have given us!" The white-haired governor said with a sincere face, and it is clear that he also knows that Yang Cheng has contributed to today's incident, and this incident has a great impact on East German football and even more far-reaching politics.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do!" Yang Cheng responded modestly.

"It's a pity that I wasn't able to attend the game in person when you were coaching Chemnitz, but you have to believe that I am your fan and we are all very grateful for your contribution to Chemnitz and to Saxony football, you are always a welcome guest!"

"Thank you!" Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with the governor, hugged him, and then took pictures of reporters, as if he was putting on a show, and even he himself could not tell the real from the fake.

D'Elsmit, Leipzig and Dresden's club presidents also attended the groundbreaking ceremony, and the former even took the opportunity to chat with Yang Cheng for a while about the future development of Chemnitz.

"It's still the old saying, youth training is the basis for driving the improvement of football level, and the economy in the eastern region is relatively backward, so you can only rely on youth training to be self-sufficient, and then improve the competitiveness of the entire region, so as to have the opportunity to make a difference in the professional league!"

The future of professional football will definitely be in the shape of a pyramid, with the economic strength of the East German region, it simply does not have the strength to rise to the top of the pyramid, and even Kaiserslautern is impossible, so they can only work hard to improve the youth training and learn the survival model of clubs such as Ajax and Eindhoven.

"This is an opportunity, Stefan!" Even Paul? Bayer agreed with Yang Cheng's statement, "We are all willing to help Chemnitz when it is an opportunity to reform the club, but the key is that you have to be willing to change!" ”

"The future of football is technology-based football, and if you don't change the status quo, you will kill yourself!" Yang Cheng said with great certainty.

After all, Yang Cheng is now a well-known head coach in German football and a technical adviser to the German Football Association, and his speech is naturally different from that of the fledgling guy back then.

"If there is anything you need help with, just tell me that as long as I can, I will help, but to engage in youth training, everything still has to be done by yourself, come on, Stefan!" Yang Cheng encouraged.

Although he chose to leave Chemnitz in the first place, although he still has a little pimple in his heart for Dillsmidt, he has a deep affection for the club, the fans and the people here.

The day he left, he told himself that he must find an opportunity to help the fans and football here, and now he is fulfilling his vow that day.

In fact, the German Football Association's help to develop football in East Germany is just a trend of Germany helping backward East Germany.

At present, efforts are being made to promote the development of the economy of the East German region, for example, part of the local government revenue will be handed over to the central government, and most of it will be handled by the local government itself, but about 20% of it will be used to support the more backward states in the East German region.

Imagine how rich the western part of Germany is, and how much does they earn 20% of their fiscal income every year?

Yang Cheng believes that with the gradual improvement of the economy and the gradual improvement of youth training, East German football will slowly recover, and in the future, East German teams can be on a par with West German teams in the Bundesliga.

This is one of his good wishes

After participating in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Nuosen base, Yang Cheng went north with the technical inspection team of the German Football Association.

Along the way, they will go to inspect the current situation of youth training of some professional teams in East Germany, put forward some effective suggestions and measures, and will also give some guiding help.

Yang Cheng has always been a person who attaches great importance to youth training, and he agrees with a sentence, that is, youth training is the future of football, and the stimulation of business and money can only drive the short-term prosperity of football, and only persistent youth training can bring a brighter future to football.

Therefore, along the way, Yang Cheng did not hesitate to exchange some of the football knowledge he brought from his previous life with the members of the Football Association's inspection team, as well as with the officials of clubs in various regions.

With his more advanced football knowledge than them, Yang Cheng has been recognized by almost everyone in the past few days, and some professionals who originally thought that he was lucky, so he repeatedly created brilliance, after a few days of getting along, they have completely changed their opinion of Yang Cheng.

Heading north from Berlin via the 251 motorway, Greifswald is a famous university town in northeastern Germany, located on the Baltic Sea and surrounded by beautiful scenery.

The German Football Association (DFB) would like to take a look at the environment and, if appropriate, will likely set up another training centre in the East German region in the coastal city.

This is an old city full of antiquity, full of red brick walls, the streets are full of ashlar paved roads, and the architectural style is also very unique, but with the support of Germany in recent years, in addition to retaining the atmosphere of the original East German town, it has also added a bit of modern flavor.

Yang Cheng and his entourage visited one of the candidates on the outskirts of the city, and then went to visit the local FC Greifswald, a semi-professional club that competes in the regional league.

But when Yang Cheng and his party, accompanied by the club's officials, walked into this dilapidated training ground, a child with a freckled face suddenly rushed out of the spurs and stopped everyone directly, as if not letting them enter the training ground.

The child looked seven or eight years old, looking very immature, but his eyes were looking for the group.

"Hey, Tony, get out of the way!" The official of the Greifswald club shouted.

"I'll be leaving soon, Mr. Frank, I want to sign it!"

Only then did everyone notice that the kid was holding a book in his right hand and a pen in his left hand, and his eyes were looking through the team, and when he found the one who was talking to Paul? Bayer and the others were chatting, and when Yang Cheng, who was lagging behind everyone, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Hello.xzsj8., Mr. Yang Cheng!" The child directly lined up everyone and came to Yang Cheng.

Seeing that this child was not afraid of life because of so many strangers, but was still very reasonable, everyone felt funny, and it was impossible to deal with him as a child, and seeing that he was a fan of Yang Cheng, he immediately laughed and revealed.

"Hello.xzsj8.!" Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and squatted down.

"Can you sign me?" The child looked innocent and looked at Yang Cheng expectantly.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Of course! ”

Next to Paul? Bayer and the others all smiled and left first, leaving Yang Cheng and the kid named Tony behind.

"Are you a player at this club?" Yang Cheng took the child's hand, and it was a book of scientific and chemical training jointly launched by Moniz and Mulensteen, recommended and prefaced by Yang Cheng, and he turned the title page, which was a blank page.

"Yes, my dad is the youth coach here!" The child nodded and replied, but his attention was focused on Yang Cheng's hand and pen, standing on tiptoe, and stretching out his finger.xzsj8.Where Yang Cheng should sign.

It can be seen that this little guy is a person with his own ideas.

"By the way, what's your name?" Yang Cheng casually signed his Chinese name at the place designated by the child.

"Tony, Tony? Cross! "The child's attention is on the signature.

Yang Cheng just finished signing, and paused, "Tony? Cross? ”

"Yes, my dad's name is Roland? Kroos, the Academy coach at Greifswald, do you know him? Cross looked at Yang Cheng with some surprise.

Yang Cheng's mind was suddenly electrocuted, and then he looked at the child in front of him who still looked very immature, he was the brightest midfielder rookie in German football later, Tony? Cross?

He seems to have made his debut in Rostock, right? How could it be here in Greifswald?

Yang Cheng was a little puzzled in his heart, but shook his head, "No, it's just that your surname is very close to a player in our team!" ”

Klose's pronunciation is different from Kroos's, but it sounds a little closer.

"I know, it's Miroslav? Klose! Cross replied with a laugh as if he had guessed the easter egg.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "That's right, he is a very good player, and you will be the same in the future!" ”

When he said this, Yang Cheng filled in a few words above the title page under Cross's gaze, and gave Tony? Kroos, the best player in Germany in the future

Cross watched dumbfounded, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Germany's best player of the future?! Is this what Mr. Yang Cheng gave me?

"Tony! Tony! A shouting voice was heard in the distance, waking Cross, who was intoxicated by the high praise of his idol.

"Here, Daddy!" Cross shouted.

It didn't take long for a German in his thirties to chase out of the house, and Tony was seen from afar? Cross, and a stranger, began to nervously catch up, but soon found out that it was Yang Cheng.

"Hello.xzsj8., Mr. Cross!" Yang Cheng greeted him politely.

"Hello.xzsj8., Mr. Yang Cheng, I really didn't expect it to be you!" Roland said in surprise.

Cross held up Yang Cheng's signature of the science and chemical training, turned the title page, and shook it towards his father in a show off, "Dad, look, this is Mr. Yang Cheng's signature for me!" ”

Roland took a look and was very surprised that Yang Cheng was very surprised by Tony? Cross's evaluation, but he felt more that this was Yang Cheng's encouragement to young people, and would not associate it with anything else.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Rowland thanked him politely.

"You're welcome, Mr. Kroos, it's a very good way to train young players, and it's different from the one in East Germany, but it should be promoted." Yang Cheng said with a smile.

"Yes, I also think this training method is good, so I bought this book and came back to study it, and I am ready to try it out in the club!" Roland said with some embarrassment.

Yang Cheng nodded, then looked at Cross, "Do a good job, little guy, the future will be limitless!" ”

"Shall I play football for you then, Mr. Yang Cheng?" Tony? Cross asked innocently.

Yang Cheng suddenly laughed and nodded, "Okay, when you have practiced your technique and body, I will let you start!" ”

"Do you still want to train your body?" Cross said with a look of embarrassment.

Roland next to him shook his head awkwardly and smiled bitterly, "Not for the time being, that started after the age of 15!" ”

"That's right, what you have to do now is to practice your skills, and the football in the future must be high-intensity, fast-paced football, and the skills must be very solid!"

"Like Peron?" Cross asked solemnly.

Yang Cheng looked at the helpless Roland, and suddenly smiled and asked, "It's a little better than Belon, how about it?" ”

"Great!" Cross laughed.

"Then you have to work hard, I'll wait for you!" Yang Cheng waved goodbye.

When he walked away, he looked back again, only to find that Cross and his son were still there, and there was an extra child beside him, as if they were coquettish and angry, and the two brothers seemed to be fighting for the training book signed by Yang Cheng.

That should be his younger brother, Yang Cheng thought to himself

Meet Tony? Cross, but this time Yang Cheng did not want to poach him to Kaiserslautern, the reason is very simple, his family lives here very comfortably, and it is indeed a bit difficult for him to go south from the northeast to Kaiserslautern at a young age, across the whole of Germany.

Besides, poaching 8-year-old Tony? Kroos to Kaiserslautern, which is not necessarily a good thing.

When he first arrived in Kaiserslautern, Yang Cheng rose to improve the strength of the academy, so he poached the idea of Podolski and Schweinsteiger. Muller also poached, but now he is gradually discovering that such poaching is not very useful for a manager.

After the inspection of Greifswald and his entourage, the FA team went to Rostock to inspect the youth training situation in Rostock.

The East German team, which is currently the best mixed team in the German league, has spared no effort in youth training, and the results are also very good, at least this East German team has a good record this season, and the local youth players have played a role that cannot be ignored.

Sometimes Yang Cheng even thinks that the reason why Rostock can replace Dresden, the flag team of the East German period, and become the East German team that mixes comfortably in the Bundesliga, is that he has found a good way for the East German team to survive.

But it's a difficult road and it's bumpy, so this team is always up and down.

Returning directly from Rostock to Eintracht Frankfurt, Yang Cheng and the officials of the Football Association summarized the inspection over the past week and put forward a series of ideas and suggestions for the next youth training reform.

But these have little to do with Yang Cheng, after all, there are experts in this area within the Football Association, so he pulls Paul? Bair and Tim? Hank went to watch two national team matches, one for the German national team and one for the Czech national team, both of which were warm-up matches.

Watching the Czech Republic play is not only about the proximity of the two regions, nor just about looking at Nedved, but also because Kaiserslautern will play against Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic in the next round of the European Cup Winners' Cup, which is a well-known team in the Czech Republic and is precisely the sworn enemy of Sparta Prague.

There are many players from this club in the Czech national team, Yang Cheng watched a national team game, and by the way, he checked the strength of these players, killing two birds with one stone.

But what made Yang Cheng feel a little annoyed was that Nedved played the whole game again, and the other party was obviously not ready to listen to Yang Cheng's proposal, so angry that Yang Cheng almost scolded in the stands, because this was not only tossing the players, but also tossing Kaiserslautern.

The Czech Republic has lost the qualification to participate in the World Cup in France, and now they are just accompanying the prince to study, why should they be so serious?

But it can't be helped, who made Nedved the heart of the current Czech team's midfield? There are 10,000 reasons to reuse him

After two weeks of intensive training for the national team, after the team regrouped, Veron and Denilson, the two internationals who went to South America to participate in the national team competition, arrived a day later than the European internationals, and after a long journey back and forth, Yang Cheng finally did not schedule them for the away game against Slavia Prague two days later, but let them rest.

Playing away, Yang Cheng discharged Thomas? Riddle and Frijns are a two-back combination, with the youngster Ogigwe on the left side, Deco in the front, Deisler on the right, Klose in the forward, and Dede and Luis in the back? Hutter, Lucio, and Fritz.

In this set of games where almost all substitute lineups played, Yang Cheng's idea was very clear, to rest the main players and decide the winner at home.

In the end, the substitutes did not disappoint Yang Cheng, with a long-range shot from Frings, a draw and an away goal from Prague 1:1, laying a solid foundation for Kaiserslautern to advance to the next round.
