In the history of the Bundesliga, Yang Cheng led Kaiserslautern to two Cup Winners' Cups, and won the league championship as a promoted horse, even after so many years, this story is still praised by fans and talked about by professionals, who are always reminiscing about the last two years at the end of the last century. 1――

After Kaiserslautern, there were no surprises until the summer of 2008, there was an unknown promotion team, relying on their own strong strength, in the Bundesliga steel jungle to fight a bloody way, by countless fans pinned high hopes, they can become Kaiserslautern second.

It's a pity that in the end, this team still didn't manage to create a miracle, but it managed to make all the fans remember his name, Hoffenheim!

This small team from the backwoods suddenly became the hot darling of all the fans, and everyone was surprised to find that their stadium was so small, and the population of their village was so small, which made the Hoffenheim experience even more mysterious, and many fans gave a nickname, Huo Village!

Now Hoffenheim has gained a firm foothold in the Bundesliga, although it does not have the strength to win the championship, but the relegation problem is not big, they moved from Hoffenheim, which has a population of only more than 3,000, to nearby Sinsheim, but this is still a small city, but Hoffenheim's big boss behind the scenes, ambitious to make Hoffenheim the Digmar of Inter Milan in the Bundesliga? Hope, however, built a professional football stadium for the team he loved so much, with a capacity of 30,000 fans.

The warm-up match between the German national team and Uruguay was in the Rhine, which is 100 kilometers away from Kaiserslautern? Held in the Neckar Arena, Yang Cheng's team defeated the visiting Uruguay 2-0 in this miraculous home stadium and won the warm-up match smoothly.

In this game, Yang Cheng's midfield configuration remained unchanged, Schweinsteiger and Sven? Bender continues to form a double midfielder, Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Deisler form the attacking attack, and Klose plays as a single striker, which is also Yang Cheng's most trusted attacking combination.

At the back, Manuel Neuer played the goalkeeper. Lahm continued on the left flank, and due to Mertesacker's injury, Yang Cheng arranged a central defensive combination of Bad Stuber and Hummels for this game, and Kyle was left on the bench by Yang Cheng. At right-back, Jérôme? Boateng.

Mesut Ozil, who announced his official move to Bayern Munich, was outstanding in this game, providing two assists to help Thomas? Muller and Klose scored to help Germany win the game.

But what makes Yang Cheng even happier is the team's backline, Bad Stuber and Hummels have performed well, although there have been mistakes, but overall the improvement is obvious. Plus a Jérôme? Boateng, the German team's backline has been solid, but this is somewhat related to the fatigue and average performance of Forlan and Suarez.

Such a warm-up match is not too discussable, at best it is to adjust the team's form for the next European Championship qualifiers, and the German team will go to Vienna, Austria for an away game this time. It was also an important match for Germany to qualify as top of the group.

At present, the German team has won all the way in Group A, with a brilliant record, and has also attracted the attention of countless fans and opponents. But at the same time, some problems within the team have also been reported by the media, after all, everyone would prefer to see some more gimmicky hype and focus news.

In the current German team, the most focused topic is undoubtedly Ballack.

"Ballack is still in my plans, and although he didn't play, his role in this team is very obvious!" "As the head coach of the German team, I don't need to explain to anyone the criteria and intentions of my selection of players, and no one has the right to question and question my selection, if you have any opinions and protests, then you can go." You can bombard me in your newspapers, but you are not welcome here! ”

"If you want to continue to stay here and follow the report, then you can only accept my choice, because here, no one counts, I say it!"

This is Yang Cheng at the press conference before the match against Uruguay. Bombarding some of the media that have spoken against the German national team, they are all focusing on Ballack's re-inclusion in the national team squad, believing that Yang Cheng is suspected of nepotism.

This incident has obviously had a certain impact on the internal atmosphere of the German national team, because as early as the time when Loew was in charge of the team, the contradictions between the older generation of players led by Ballack, Kyle and Frins and the younger generation of players were very obvious.

…………

…………

Sinsheim is not big, the team borrowed the training ground from Hoffenheim, and it is also small, so it is easy to find one.

When Yang Cheng found Ballack, the captain of the German national team was sitting on a sloped lawn, looked at it from a distance, and found that his back was a little stiff, as if he had to bend down slightly to bear it because he had picked something very heavy.

34 years old, about to turn 35 years old, when Yang Cheng saw him, he couldn't help but recall the appearance of the two of them when they were in Chemnitz, when Barak was young, driving an old and dilapidated Volkswagen, running around the city with a bang, shouting and drinking everywhere, looking passionate.

Today's Barak is more like an old man in his twilight years, with looming wrinkles on his forehead, a little untidy is a scumbag on his face, without the youth and unscrupulousness of the past, more restrained and calm, and a little more pitiful unwilling, because he was born at the wrong time.

"You shouldn't have called me into the national team, chief!" Barak's eyes were red, and he turned his head away to prevent Yang Cheng from approaching to see it, but in Yang Cheng's eyes, he felt sad.

He watched Ballack grow up, this player was brought out by him, he knows Ballack's strength better than anyone else, and knows Ballack better than anyone else, the latter regards him as his own big brother, and he discusses everything with Yang Cheng, and the first one to do anything good is Yang Cheng, and he can be said to have great respect for Yang Cheng.

So seeing him like this, Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Why? Tell me about it! Yang Cheng's expression was very cold. He didn't speak, but sat down.

Barak always turned his face sideways in the direction that Yang Cheng couldn't see, obviously not letting Yang Cheng see his face, "I'm 34 years old. There are a lot of injuries, it's hard to maintain my form, I can't play in the national team, they are all right, you shouldn't call me into the national team, I ......"

He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. "I don't want this, I don't get humiliated like this, I don't make it difficult for you to do it, let you be questioned, you are the head I respect the most, I ......"

Several times in a row, Barak spoke intermittently.

He and Yang Cheng have been friends for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two does not need to be said. It's just that Barak doesn't make it difficult for Yang Cheng because of himself.

"Do you think I brought you to the national team because I wanted you to mess around like this?" Yang Cheng suddenly smiled, "If yes." Michael, all I can say is that you are humiliating me and yourself! ”

Barak still didn't look back, he kept his head sideways.

"Do you know what my impression of Loew's national team is?" Yang Cheng looked into the distance and asked. ..., Barak still did not speak, still tilting his head sideways.

"Mediocre, no personality, lack of sharpness and aggressiveness, lack of tenacity and backbone of a strong team, I can't even imagine it. This is a German team that has been brought all the way by players such as Beckenbauer, Mateus, Sommer, Kahn and you, because this is a team that is absolutely weak and incompetent in character! ”

"You've been playing football for so many years, you know better than me how a team like this can take out an opponent on the pitch? How is it possible to withstand the pressure at a critical moment? ”

Yang Cheng stood up, shook his head and sneered, "The most advanced management means? Could it be that they are the so-called most advanced management tools. Is it to make a team that was originally full of fighting spirit completely become a weak and incompetent seed? ”

During Loew's tenure at the helm of the German national team, the most important thing to say about dressing room management is balance, to create a harmonious dressing room atmosphere so that everyone feels comfortable, but the question is, the football team itself should be a combat force, do all international players enter the national team to enjoy and be comfortable?

What did Loew's balanced management ultimately turn into?

Some players slapped Ballack on the field, and the result was gone, the national team captain was disgraced, and everyone began to challenge the authority of the national team captain, and then he further eliminated the experienced veterans, from Kahn, Ballack, Frins, Kyle and others, one after another to leave the national team.

What will happen in the end?

He said that he wanted to put everyone in the national team on an equal footing, but in exchange for such a result, the dressing room of the German team, which has always been united, has completely become a mess, everyone has their own thoughts, and they no longer work together.

Once or twice can be said to be a coincidence, but every time it's like this, isn't there a problem?

"Football, can never be explained by science, only people, is the whole of football, any team wants to form combat effectiveness, want to become a top team, not only to have excellent technical ability and tactical awareness, but also to have a unified thinking and fighting spirit, which requires a spirit to integrate everyone's thoughts, twisted into a rope!"

All the top teams have their own team soul, how many teams without team soul can reach the top?

Loew's idea can't be said to be wrong, but it can definitely be said to be naïve, because he wants to establish a balanced management system without a core leader and all players get along equally, but in fact it proves that the team under this balanced management cannot be cohesive at all, which is impossible, because people are selfish!

It's like everyone knows that as long as the old and the old, the young and the young, can be full of harmony, but why can't it? Why is there so much power struggle? Why do we need laws?

Loew's balanced management is indeed to please some players who want to be comfortable and don't like to be managed, but at the same time, he also made the German team completely lose its mental will and fighting spirit, and then let this team lose its combat effectiveness at critical moments.

It can be said that it is not only Barak himself who is under pressure when he is summoned. Yang Cheng himself was under tremendous pressure, no less than Barak, and he always insisted on doing it because he felt compelled to do so.

sighed. After Yang Cheng vented, he felt much happier in his heart, and Barak turned his head to Yang Cheng, he knew Yang Cheng's mind before, but he didn't think as deeply as Yang Cheng. ..., "Any team must have its own core, the strength of this core." Directly determines what kind of results and strength this team can achieve, the ten fingers have each other's strengths and weaknesses, the palms are open, and there is no strength to beat people, only concentrate, clench your fists, and beat people powerfully! ”

"So I've always wanted you to play more in the national team. It's not about how well you perform on the pitch, it's about the spirit, in the style. Influence the players in the team, and rediscover the bloody and tenacious will that belonged to the German team back then! ”

"If we don't get back this will, we will never be able to become a top team, maybe we can achieve a good ranking, but we will never want to win the championship, because football is a war, and it is impossible to win without a fight!"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng sat down and smiled slightly, "I'm sure you can see it too." I'm very optimistic about Schweinsteiger's kid, personality is difficult to change, tenacious style, and the fighting spirit of not admitting defeat can be formed through a long period of exposure and edification, no one is born domineering, isn't it? ”

Did Ballack have the domineering attitude of the captain of the national team when he was in Chemnitz?

Karn was young. In the national team under Mateus, was he domineering?

A lot of things actually have to be cultivated slowly, Yang Cheng is now full of expectations for the German national team, he knows very well that if he can't condense a strong core, then in the end this German national team will become an end, always after losing the game, shouting slogans, we won the future!

"The reason why I recruited you into the national team and continued to let you be the captain is not because I am selfish, but because I can continue to play a role in the national team and continue to pass on the spiritual will you have inherited from Beckenbauer, Mateus, Summer, Kahn and others to a new generation of players."

"Technologization, this is the trend, but losing the traditional technologization is castration!"

Barak looked at Yang Cheng with some dumbfounded, he was indeed very unhappy, because as soon as the latter came to power, he kept cleaning the old players, attacking the prestige of the old players, and wanted to create a dressing room where everyone was equal, but he never did a good job.

Now under the leadership of Yang Cheng, everything is moving in a good direction for the German team, and the qualifiers are all won, which is not important, because there is no strong team in the qualifiers, what really matters is how to condense the spirit of this German team before the European Cup.

Yang Cheng said that he wanted to inherit it from Ballack and his predecessors, but Ballack himself felt that it was more appropriate to dig out this spirit from Yang Cheng, because the latter has a very high status in this German national team and in today's German football, and everyone will be happy to gather around him and play for him.

Barak thought so in his heart, and it suddenly became clear, but he didn't say anything, just knew it.

"I'm sorry, boss!" Barak felt he should apologize.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly and shook his head, "It's okay, in short, you are the captain of the national team, you have the final say in the matter, how to manage, how to control the locker room, we all have locker room rules, you will act in accordance with the rules, if those media have any complaints, I will bear it, whoever violates the rules will get me out of the national team!" ”

Barak felt a sense of trust from Yang Cheng's words, which made him feel warm in his heart.

He has always respected Yang Cheng for more than ten years, and Yang Cheng loves him?

After saying that, Yang Cheng had no scruples, stood up, and looked ahead, "My goal is the Brazilian Cup, I want to lead Germany to a cup, so I need a lot of help, for the time being, I can't agree to your request to retire from the national team, I will stay until the end of the European Cup." ”

"Why?" Barak wondered.

"Because I'm going to give you a champion!" Yang Cheng said with a firm face.

One sentence made Barak's originally faded eyes reddened again, making his heart sour, which was very unpleasant, because this sentence proved that Yang Cheng was actually selfish, and it was very heavy.

Well, who is not selfish?

"This is what they owe you, in the past so many years, you have worked hard to support this national team, and now this national team has become, they owe you a championship trophy, I will do my best to help you snatch back a championship trophy, so that you can end your national team career in the most perfect and successful way!"

Yang Cheng put one hand on Barak's shoulder, stared at Barak, and said very firmly: "This is my promise to you, Yang Cheng!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, but before leaving, he didn't let him drop a domineering word.

"You just have to accept it, you can't refuse, because here, I have the final say, nothing you say doesn't count, you have to listen to me!"

Barak looked at Yang Cheng's back in a daze, his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry, but he didn't cry.

"Thank you, Chief!" He muttered to Yang Cheng's back with a slight choked voice, and only he could hear it.
