Super Coach

While Yang Cheng led Real Madrid to practice in the United States, the German Football Association as far away as Germany also announced a list of 18 players who will play a warm-up match with Denmark on August 11.

This warm-up match can also be said to be Yang Cheng ’s official dual-duty post, the first warm-up match after taking over the German national team and Real Madrid double head coach. Unlike Real Madrid, which has long been mature and stable, Germany faces fierce turmoil More attention and worries.

Yang Cheng previously published this list through the Internet. This list does not have a German team to enter the World Cup's main players, even including Schweinsteiger, Thomas? Mueller, Dessler, Klose, Ozil and several other lovers that Yang Cheng relies heavily on did not appear on the roster, but were all a group of substitute players.

Unlike Luf, who recruited six strikers in one breath, Yang Cheng recruited two strikers Gomez and Kako this time. He hopes to focus on examining these two forwards again and give him peace of mind. Luo Ze had a good rest, after all, if Klose alone a striker is difficult to support the German team's front line.

But in the promotion of the teenager, Yang Cheng seems to be more radical than Lough. This time he recruited a number of rookies from the national team in one breath, and they were Andre Schüller from Mainz. Marco Royce of Mönchengladbach, and Mario Goetze, who won the Fritz Walter Gold Medal last season.

If the selection of these players represents that Yang Cheng wants to continue to transform the German offensive system, then Humels, Sebastian Kyle, Clemens Fritz and other players are re-selected. It means that Yang Cheng wants to make a series of transformations on the defense line.

And on this list, two players have attracted widespread attention, that is, the twin brothers Lars Bender and Sven Bend who played for Kaiserslautern were selected. There are rumors that these two players were recommended by Kyle and Kaiserslautern head coach Bremer to Yang Cheng, the latter attaches great importance.

From this list, everyone can see that Yang Cheng is going to further investigate the players, warming up and inspecting the players for the upcoming European Cup qualifiers.

This time, Germany was assigned to Group A in the European Cup qualifiers. The opponents were Turkey, Belgium, Austria, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The strength of the German team is generally dominant, but Turkey, Belgium and Austria are not without a battle with the German team. force. Especially considering that Yang Cheng's first arrival with the German team, the situation is more dangerous.

Yang Cheng knows how to play the game. He has already drafted a detailed team plan and progress with Paul? Bayer, Frick and others, and he will transform this German team according to his own ideas. .

After leading Real Madrid from the United States to end the American trip, Yang Cheng, Benitez and Tim Hank flew nonstop to Copenhagen, Denmark, and met with the team to prepare for the upcoming warm-up match.

Yang Cheng arrived in Denmark and immediately took the time to talk to several rookies who had just been selected to the national team, including the youngsters such as Goetze, Schulle, Royce, Bend Brothers and so on. He also communicated and communicated with Humels.

In this game, Yang Cheng ’s starting lineup is also 423 ”, which is goalkeeper Wiese, the back line is Jerome Boateng, Tashcher, Hummels and Clemens Free. The double midfielders are Tony Klos and Tresch respectively; the attacking avant-garde is Marin, Goetze and Royce; the single forward is Gomez.

Before the game, the main defender of the Danish team, Ag, came over to meet with Yang Cheng. He was polite, but he didn't seem to be merciless in the game. In the 13th minute, he used a kick from 30 meters away to insert a long shot and penetrated the goal guarded by Wiese. Set the first record for Denmark.

After seeing Agger score. Yang Cheng shook his head unceasingly, "We are not enough to oppose each other in the frontcourt, it's very bad!"

Benitez also nodded, "The technology is good, but without oppression, it is impossible to form an effective combat power."

Yang Cheng immediately went to the sidelines and once again shouted about his pre-match arrangements, reminding this group of German players who wanted to play with their opponents by playing with technology. It's best to clear up your mood and execute your tactics well.

After a certain improvement in oppressive tactics. The technical advantage of the German team was immediately reflected.

In the 28th minute, Marin took a ball from the left side and made an exquisite straight stop. Gomez succeeded in anti-offside and faced the opponent's goalkeeper overnight to equalize the score for the German team.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Yang Cheng made a large-scale substitution.

Sebastian Kyle replaced Tashcher. Yang Cheng originally appreciated Tashcher's characteristics. He is fast and has good technology, but the problem is that his awareness of selection and standing is too poor, especially A sense of position in defense, and a slightly thin body, facing the tall Danes, do not have an advantage in the confrontation.

Sven? Bender replaced Tresch, the latter performed well, this time Yang Cheng mainly wanted to investigate Sven? Bender's defensive midfielder, he has already played the main force in Kaiserslautern, Kyle and Bremer both highly evaluated him, and he recommended him to Yang Cheng, saying that he would be the lack of the German team.

There is also the replacement of Clemens Fritz with Baker, the latter and Yang Cheng did not improve their strength when they led the team, but the problem is that when Yang Cheng led Kaiserslautern, he was less than 20 Years old, with his strength and performance at that time, it can be said that he is a genius, a supernova, and has high hopes.

But ten years have passed, and your strength has not improved much. Although you are experienced, no one will continue to treat you as a star. Everyone will treat and examine you with a higher vision and level. This is Clay. The reason why Menz Fritz has been unable to gain a foothold in the national team these years.

"He is no longer suitable for the current national team!" Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed.

At that time, he also very much appreciated Fritz. He liked the style of Fritz. His speed is also a weapon to be inserted after the team, but now it seems that he thinks that Fritz is not suitable for the national team. .

The situation in the second half also went relatively flat. Tony Klos's straight kick made Gomez once again complete an anti-offside. The German team achieved a 2-1 reversal lead.

However, in the 78th minute, Ajax midfielder Eriksson ’s goal helped Denmark draw a 2-2 home draw against Germany. In the end, the score was also maintained until the end of the game, and neither side could continue to score goals. .

After the warm-up match, the team returned to Germany and disbanded, but Yang Cheng and the coaching staff held a meeting to determine the 23-man roster in the European Cup qualifiers.

…………

…………

According to Yang Cheng's idea, the 23-man roster deducted 3 goalkeepers and arranged 8 players on the back line. There were 8 midfielders, 4 forwards, and no fewer than 23 happened.

The goalkeeper can be said to be the least suspenseful. Neuer, Bute and Wiese, these three goalkeepers are the best goalkeepers that German football can call in now. Adler is not injured if he is injured. , Of course, is one of the three goalkeepers, but Bout and Weizer are fighting for the last place.

On the back line, Ram, Jerome Boateng, Mertesacker, Bad Steuble, Kyle and Hummels were selected. The other two players, Tresch and Baker, of which Tresch is better at is the lower back. In Yang Cheng ’s heart, the back line he wants will be Ram, Kyle, Mertesacker and Jeiro. Tom Boateng. Although Bad Steuble has great potential, to be honest, regardless of age, experience, and strength, it is not as good as Kyle.

Although Kyle played at the back of Kaiserslautern these years, in fact, he was still the style and strength of the central defender. Yang Cheng was very optimistic about him. Also convinced that he can become a pillar of the German national team's defense.

Midfielder. Barack, Schweinsteiger, Özil, Hedira, Tony Klos, Goetze, Desler and Sven? Bender, of which Yang Cheng has a good impression of Sven? Bender, this player Defensive ability in the midfield, as Bremer said, lively is like Kyle, and Lars Bender is also offensive and defensive, but the staff is limited.

The four strikers Yang Cheng chose Klose, Gomez, Thomas Muller and Podolski, among them Thomas Muller was fixed on the left by Yang Cheng. He tried Thomas Muller during the World Cup And Ram's left combination. Formed a powerful power, he hopes to continue to maintain it.

There are a lot of focuses on this list that will surely be heated by the media. For example, the return of Barak and Kyle, both of whom are lovers of Yang Cheng. A series of miracles was created in Kaiserslautern that year, also known as the pride of German football, and now it is back again, plus a bunch of players such as Klose, Deisler, Ozil, the outside world is sure Will pay attention.

Sven? Bender is the main midfielder of Kaiserslautern, and has performed well in the past two years. Under the influence and guidance of Kyle, this defensive midfielder selection will definitely cause Hedila and Tresch Pressure, which also shows Yang Cheng's dissatisfaction with this current double-back combination, especially the characteristics of Hedila likes to insert forward.

"If either Sven? Bender and Tresch perform well, I don't mind taking down Hedira!" Yang Cheng's face was serious, "but I also want to find opportunities to try Kyle after playing Waist, retreat back defense routines while defending. "

Kyle can play midfielder and defender. His ability to hold and control the ball is very good. The key depends on how Yang Cheng uses it.

"Murtsack is very stable, Hummels prefers to **** and is a little risky, Bad Steuble has better ball-handling ability, plus a Kyle, such a combination of defenders is also sufficient for the qualifiers. "" Benitez analyzed.

"Time is still too tight!" Paul Bayer sighed.

According to the schedule, the Bundesliga finished the second round of the Bundesliga on August 29. The players returned to the national team after the game, but the team challenged Belgium on September 3 and 7 respectively, and played against Azerbaijan at home. The two games were arranged very densely, and there was simply not enough time to give Yang Cheng a tactical run-in, only to play while playing the game.

"Paul, do you remember the training and running method we used to draw lines and draw areas at the beginning?" Yang Cheng looked at Paul Bayer and asked with a smile on his face.

The latter was stunned for a while, then smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember that when I saw the messy tactical plans you drew, I was one of the first two, but if you think about it, it is really simple and clear. ! "

When Yang Cheng first took charge of Chemnitz, in order to help players better understand his requirements for running without the ball and tactical area. He draws lines and divides areas during training, and then uses red and green to represent prohibition and feasibility, so that players can run and pass the ball according to the road map during training.

Now Yang Cheng doesn't have much time to run in the national team slowly. He can't have a training period of up to one month like in Real Madrid. He has less than 4 days. He must let Germany know all about him. Tactical intent and form combat power in the shortest time.

He is good, that is, his coaching philosophy has long followed his youth training system. It is integrated into every team in Germany and the Bundesliga. Many of this group of players have grown up in this set of youth training and training systems. They are not new to Yang Cheng ’s tactics. It is easier to integrate into Yang Cheng's tactical system.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, many problems of this team need time to overcome, and what he lacks most now is time.

"Just prepare as we did!" Yang Cheng explained.

Paul? Bayer nodded, he experienced the Chemnitz period, so he knows the operation of Yang Cheng's system.

"Also, the training intensity will be improved at that time!" Yang Cheng shook his head. "The psychological quality of this group of guys is too weak. What we need is an iron army that can fight tough battles, not a team that only knows how to play the downwind ball. When it comes to a critical moment. When you encounter difficulties, your legs are soft, you will only play Juggling technical soft eggs. "

The reason why he was called into Barak is actually that the German midfielder is so old, and the significance of competition is no longer significant, but the spirit and will of his body is the most needed by the German team. It is also the most lacking.

Whether it is in the league or the cup. Or is it a game system like the national team, whether it is a technically delicate team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​or a brave team with strong styles such as Manchester United and Chelsea, the style must be tenacious, and everyone must have a share The belief in winning, and all this, is accumulated slowly through training, and then obtained through practice and hone through the game.

It is impossible to build an iron-blooded legion overnight. Yang Cheng is also prepared for long-term combat, and at the same time he also has a clear idea. Those players who do not meet his psychological requirements, or are unable to adapt to his requirements. He will be eliminated from the national team.

On the day the team finished playing in Denmark, Yang Cheng communicated with Jerome Boateng. He also revealed in his speech that he was dissatisfied with Boateng ’s lack of concentration in the game. I hope Boateng will correct this problem and pay enough attention to every minute and every second of the game.

Of course, Yang Cheng knows Jerome Boateng's character, so he pays more attention to the tone of speech, but I believe Boateng can also understand Yang Cheng's meaning. If he cannot adapt to Yang Cheng's requirements, he will not be in the country. He saw his name on the team's starting lineup, and he now seems to have established his footing in the right back.

Hedira, Tony Cross, etc., Yang Cheng also gave suggestions, but how much this group of kids can change is unknown.

"After playing the league on the 29th, the training on the 30th may not be able to proceed smoothly. If you want to play on the 3rd, will your large number affect the team's state and morale?" Paul Bayer said with concern.

Tim? Hank smiled and nodded, "Our Caesar has thought of this!"

Everyone feels admired for Yang Cheng's rainy day.

"I, Chris, Moniz and Mullensteen have drawn up a training plan, which is very intensive and has a lot of testing and hardening of the players. It will definitely have a certain impact on the match on the 3rd, but It will help the 7th game, but the most important thing is to hone the players. "

Tim Hank is a master-level physical trainer. Chris Schmidt is excellent in training, physical rehabilitation, and psychology. Moniz and Mullenstin also have their own unique skills in training. What's more, Yang Cheng is very relieved of the training plan jointly developed by this group of professionals.

Everyone has worked together for more than ten years, and Yang Cheng believes very much in his assistant.

"Although from the World Cup in South Africa to the European Cup in 2012, the whole process has 2 years, but actually due to the time limit of the national team, our real time is very little, this is a test for our entire team, we must be in Be sure to pay attention to efficiency and time while instilling tactical ideas and ideas into the players. "

Yang Cheng's words were recognized by everyone. The national team training came in a hurry. After two or three days of training, they played the game. After the game, they went their own way and could not get the treatment of long-term training.

In this case, Yang Cheng was very envious of the original national football team. If he had the opportunity to shut down the Bundesliga, train for a month or two, and then slowly adjust the team, practice techniques and tactics, and wait for the opponent to arrive, then he Dare to guarantee that the German team can be reborn in a month.

But now, this treatment is undoubtedly an extravagance for him, because the national team is called into the international to play, and it is not bad to get the cooperation of the club's head coach. If it encounters uncooperative, it will directly cause an injury or the like. Excuse ...

In short, hard!

Yang Cheng and others negotiated this in Germany. After being hailed by the media as Caesar's first national team training list, they were not immediately announced to the outside world. Instead, they prepared to wait until the appropriate time for the German Football Association to organize it. Yang Chenglai Announced that this list is still in the confidential stage for the time being, it is possible to adjust at any time, and Paul? Bayer is to follow this list, pay close attention to the status and physical condition of the players.

After discussing the matter, Yang Cheng did not continue to stay in Germany, but immediately returned to Madrid.

The Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup, a total of three games, Real Madrid's opponents are Atletico Madrid, there is also a warm-up match against the Bernabeu Cup of Corinthian, these games need to be personally supervised by Yang Cheng, and there must be no loss .

After all, whether it is a cup match or a warm-up match, it is related to the morale of the team in the new season. Everyone wants a starter, and then swept the whole season with vigour, right?
