Chapter 948: With the power of football

Things in the world are strange, there is hardly any one thing, any decision can satisfy everyone.
As if Yang Cheng decided to arrange the team to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp, this matter has been strongly supported and affirmed by Nielsbach and Bierhof from the beginning, and German Chancellor Merck Er also personally called Yang Cheng to express his gratification and joy for this decision, and promised to appear on the scene in every game of the European Cup to cheer for the team.
This is definitely a great support for Merkel, who has a lot of opportunities. The former head coaches, including Loew, have not been able to receive such honour and treatment. It can be seen that the Leipzig's school sister Prime Minister has spared no effort to support Yang Cheng.
In addition to people in Germany, UEFA President Olsen, FIFA President Beckenbauer and others also gave Yang Cheng affirmation in an interview, thinking that this is a positive visit. , Worthy of admiration.
England coach Hodgson, Italian coach Prandelli, and Dutch coach Van Malvik, the head coaches of these three national teams, were also announced after Yang Cheng, followed by the statement that as long as the time is right, they also All will visit Auschwitz, which has aroused strong concern in the world.
There are many people who agree and oppose Yang Cheng's decision. The people who agree believe that this move will help eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings within some national teams, help educate players, and let them know more about some football. About the history and culture of the countries where the European Cup is located.
But some people, Yang Cheng's move is to attract the crowd, deliberately create a topic, thinking that he has no need to do such a thing, especially with the German national team to Auschwitz, this sounds like a little bit. The special meaning is inside.
Moreover, the European Cup is about to start. At this time, Yang Cheng is too important to do such a thing.
but. Although public opinion was very concerned, the German team's decision to go to Auschwitz was not affected at all, but it was consistent with the low-key training in the past period.Yang Cheng's team was entering the Auschwitz concentration camp. That one. When hanging the door of the slogan "Work Freedom", no one but the two or three reporters who accompanied the team knew.
Because they arrived at the Auschwitz concentration camp on the second day of Yang Cheng ’s interview with Grannack, which was just after the news was published on the UEFA website, which definitely let everyone start. Unexpectedly, because it was too fast.
Yang Cheng did this intentionally. He wants to avoid all reporters, and after visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp, the team will immediately go to Gdansk for the final training and adjustment before the European Cup.
…………
…………
The Auschwitz concentration camp, also known as the death factory, was the largest concentration camp built by Nazi Germany during World War II. Over one million people were killed here and it is now converted into a memorial. In order to achieve the purpose of alerting the world.
For the arrival of the German national team, the concentration camp gave a high-standard reception, because this is the first football association delegation they ushered in. Therefore, the owner of the memorial hall personally led the team to greet him, and arranged three survivors who had escaped in the concentration camp that year, and introduced all the things here to the delegation members along the way.
All of them, including Yang Cheng, wore dark coats, representing a kind of coldness and solemnity, to express their feelings when visiting this concentration camp full of mourning mourning, and then they were among the three survivors. Accompanied by them, visited the concentration camp facilities and environment such as the cell, incinerator, gas chamber and gallows in turn.
The entire concentration camp preserved the atmosphere of World War II to the greatest extent, even giving one kind. The Buddha here can still hear the echo of the painful wail of the suffering, the air here is also a smell, especially under the rendering of the survivor's personal experience, everything is all The Buddha Buddha happened to himself.
And all the people came to the monument. All the people stood in a long row and presented flowers and candles. Everyone has a solemn expression. Although it is very empty and surrounded by trees, it feels repressed, and even the sky becomes gloomy, and it will fall down anytime and anywhere. It feels uncomfortable.
Everyone who comes here can think of it.The millions of people who lived in this concentration camp that day lived the kind of unpredictable life, and each day survived the fear and threat of death. Among them, even those who feel strong will collapse, and they can't stand it.
Even these three survivors can clearly feel the lingering fear in their hearts when they are escaping from death, even after so many years have passed, even now they have seen through life and death, but They are still scared, showing how terrible everything happened here.
Finally, in the exhibition hall of the Auschwitz concentration camp, every visitor can leave a text on the guestbook here, and Barak represents the German national team and left on this guestbook A paragraph.
"Football to Auschwitz is both silent condolences and the obligation to confide. This is an endless sorrow, out of the painful years, he left the world forever alert.
Then every player also left his own message, Yang Cheng also wrote his own sentence on the guestbook.
"We have a responsibility and an obligation to educate the young children through Auschwitz, so that anti-racism and paranoia will disappear forever in our society and avoid the same tragedy from happening again"
At the same time, the German Football Association President Nielsbach also posted pictures of some national teams visiting Auschwitz on the official website, and defined this move of the national team.
"There are many people, it is not appropriate for the national team to go to Auschwitz, because this group of young German internationals should not take the charge on behalf of their ancestors. I think their point of view is correct, they really do not They should bear the crimes, but they must bear the responsibility and assume their responsibility as the German national team and as a symbol of Germany. "
"Through the Auschwitz concentration camp this time, we conveyed our apologies to the world, and through such mourning, all the internationals clearly understand their responsibilities, and use the power of football to call and Enlighten all young people to eliminate the wrong prejudice in racism and bigotry. "
Merkel was also at noon that day. The spokesperson expressed the affirmation of the national team's move, and highly praised the role of the national team in this incident. At the same time, it also called on fans to wear a memory and mourning during the European Cup. Visit to Auschwitz concentration camp.
At the same time, Yang Cheng also encouraged players to express their views on Auschwitz and his party on Weibo.Almost everyone said they were shocked by what they saw and heard in the concentration camp. The incomparable shock brought them a huge feeling.
Yang Cheng himself also explained the intention and feelings of this move on Weibo.
"I coached in England. Let me have a different understanding of the country's football tradition."
"Before the earliest, I felt that English football lags behind other European countries in the overall tactical field, and even more so in the training of young players, but when I coached at Liverpool, I met many people and contacted many people. Things, I learned from her deeper meaning. "
"I feel that, to a certain extent, aside from the utilitarian nature of success or not, as far as the starting point is concerned, the focus of youth training in other European countries is to train a professional football player, taking this as the starting point. All things and efforts are made to cultivate a professional player. "
"But in England, you will feel that their traditional starting point for training players is to first cultivate a real man, a really strong person, and then a professional player, because in their understanding, Only strong men can perform better on the football field. "
"So, in this country. There are many outstanding men, and this has become the style of English football. Even those fans who criticize Britain for surpassing the ball have to admit that the football men in this league, Very and passionate. This is shaped by the idea behind their football. "
"The three-year tour of the Premier League has made me feel profound, and it also made me understand that it is not difficult to train a professional player. With the current technological means and with this meticulous training method, I want to cultivate It ’s really not difficult to be a professional player, but it is very difficult to train a real man.

"This kind of difficulty will become more and more difficult as the degree of professionalism becomes higher and higher, as the football era becomes more and more utilitarian,"
"But I hope that through this move, everyone will understand that for a successful football player, he has to be a person first, then a player, and he wants to be a good and respected player. , He must first be a successful admired person, otherwise, he simply cannot do this "
Yang Cheng's Weibo immediately sent out two very different comments on the Internet.
Supporters believe that his method is very deep, especially a lot of football professionals, they all believe that Yang Cheng has gradually changed from an original successful football coach to an art master today. The accumulation of so much life made him think beyond football, and he raised the significance of football to a whole new level.
"If Yang Cheng is just an ordinary head coach, I would think that his words are exaggerated and out of place, but he is Yang Cheng, the best coach in football today, known as the greatest in football history. One of the head coaches is also the greatest head coach in active service. He should use his words and deeds and his own thoughts to guide the development of football and point out some of the shortcomings that have occurred in the professionalization and development of football. "
However, some opponents think that this is pretending to be pure, just relying on a few words of pretense, pretending how deep and thoughtful they are, and always finger-pointing about football. It is basically a big-hearted and exaggerated guy.
The two gangs had a lot of quarrels on the Internet. Both sides held their own opinions and positions and could not dispute each other, but the supporters were obviously the overwhelming majority, but the opponents also refused to give in, but what is interesting is that almost All the famous coaches and professionals support Yang Cheng, believing that his remarks are good for the development of football, and it is more extreme fans who oppose him.
For this matter, Yang Cheng did not give the slightest evaluation. He was on the way to Gdansk, through the feeling after visiting Auschwitz. On a whim, he tweeted, and then there was no news.
…………
…………
From Gdansk Airport to the hotel where the German team is stationed, there is a total of 20 minutes, about 18 kilometers. But most of them pass through forests and the roads are not spacious, so the speed cannot be too fast.
In order to keep it secret, this time the German Football Association put the base camp in the deep forest and old forest.
Yang Cheng also arrived to know that their residence is called Olivsky Manor. There is no hotel in the name and it is a manor-style hotel. It's not big. It was all wrapped up by the German team. It was a certain distance from the city. It was hidden in the deep mountains and the surrounding woods were dense. It was not easy to find at all.
Punish this dwarf mountain and woods between Gdansk, known by the locals as Olivsky Mountain, combined with the name of the manor hotel. If there is a connection, Yang Cheng is not clear.
Walked out of the woods and reached the narrow fork. After turning two intersections, I came to a grass field.
The grass area is not large, and the road is attached to the north, but it is short.From the road, you can directly overlook everything in the entire grass field.It is really a good place to spy on the military, but there are policemen wearing a fluorescent vest near the fork. On patrol, as soon as they saw the German team's bus, they took the initiative to clear the way. It seemed that they were paying attention, and they should be preventing some idlers from waiting to approach the training ground.
"Would you like to take a look at the training ground first?" Bierhof sat in the bus. Yang Cheng approached the front row and asked.
"Are you here?" Yang Cheng hasn't been here yet, which is a bit strange.
"Arrived" Bierhof nodded with a smile.
The bus quickly turned to the dirt road between the grass and the road. After passing a small sentry, it stopped directly in front of some bungalows. This is the dressing room of the German national team.
When getting off the bus, everyone was surprised by the humble locker room that they saw in front of them. Indeed, how good a training base can be built for 300,000 euros, everyone is already mentally prepared, and in fact, Poland This training ground is beyond everyone's expectations.
"From tomorrow on, there will be a police guard on the sentry side for 24 hours. At the same time, from here to the hotel, and out to the junction just now, there will be police guards at every intersection. Arrange a police car to specifically accompany the team in and out. "
Bierhoff introduced everything here in detail. The venue is a bit shabby, but the safety is certainly not a problem.
"When the time comes, don't let idlers wait in" Yang Cheng suggested.
Bierhof nodded, "I have already passed them, the police will get it done."
The quality of the turf is good, but the venue is relatively simple, which makes Yang Cheng can't help but think that if it rains here, I am afraid that the drainage system of this grassland may not be able to meet the team. I went to the gym, after all, it certainly can't be compared with those five-star training grounds.
It's not difficult to understand if you think about it. When you run out, you will give it away. Really when the German Football Association is a live Lei Feng?
"How far is it from here to the hotel?" Yang Cheng asked again.
Bierhofer thought about it, "about 1.5 kilometers, it should not exceed this distance."
Yang Cheng smiled, but the distance was close. In the future, there is no need to use a bus. In the future, running directly to the training ground will be regarded as a warm-up. The big deal is to meet the sponsor of Mercedes-Benz. Placed in front of the training ground.
"Okay, guys, you all go to the locker room and the training ground to see. We will meet in 5 minutes. We will go to the hotel and clean up. In the evening, we will start the first training class. Is there any problem?" Clapped and shouted.
When the players heard it, they immediately answered nervously, "No problem", and then they started to adjust to the venue and the dressing room, and they also allocated a wardrobe in the dressing room, but they were all random and there was no deliberate arrangement. .
Manor Hotel, as the name implies, is a manor and a luxurious aristocratic manor.
But maybe it ’s because of the relationship between the deep forest and the old forest. There are no people going in and out, so the hotel ’s security facilities are also simple. The surrounding walls are all the kind of iron fences, and they are simply enclosed.
Interestingly, the arrival of the German national team did not cause the locals to watch. As a matter of fact, they all already knew all this, that is, several filial sons chased behind their bikes, and their mouths were still in the mouth.
When he shouted Caesar, it was supposed to be Yang Cheng ’s fans. When Yang Cheng got off the bus, he directly signed and took photos with the five gasping fans, greatly satisfying their requirements, and enjoying this Several little ghosts are not happy.
The hotel has security guards and guards by the police. There is no problem with security.
After Yang Cheng and others entered the hotel, they packed up and rested, and then in the evening, they all went to the training ground and conducted their first training session after they arrived in Gdansk.This time, it attracted many locals. Attention, but they all seem to be quiet, just watching on the road, and did not affect the team's training. Obviously, they were notified before, and they all followed the rules, so Yang Cheng was also training, let the players give This group of local fans signed and took a group photo.
On the third day of the team's arrival in Gdansk, the station welcomed a special person from UEFA. (To be continued)
