Chapter 991: Gauntlet

Earlier, Yang Cheng had heard that after the World Cup team ’s investigation of São Paulo, some questions were raised, and the Brazilian Defense Minister also admitted that one of the big problems is that the airport of São Paulo cannot meet the needs of the World Cup. , Especially in terms of manpower and services, are not satisfactory.
Later, in 2012, Brazil began to bring the ownership and operation rights of the airport to the market, auctioned, sold three airports including Sao Paulo International Airport, and after raking in more than 10 billion US dollars, began to use private capital The expansion and renovation of the airport has been completed, but the progress is still not so satisfactory.
The last time Yang Cheng arrived in São Paulo, there were only a few people forming a group, but this time, dozens of people took a special plane to arrive at São Paulo International Airport. However, on the issue of security, the German team suffered from the ups and downs at the airport. It took more than an hour to get it.
"I remember seeing it in a magazine last time. I heard that Brazil ’s São Paulo International Airport is second only to France ’s Charles de Gaulle Airport. The latter is also complained and resented by passengers around the world because of frequent failures of security equipment. mind."
Finally, he boarded the bus, and the players all swept away the depression in the airport waiting hall. They began to laugh and laugh at the Sao Paulo International Airport. I think this airport is really a bit sorry for Brazil. The name of the big airport.
The people in the whole bus started your words suddenly. I said in a word, some said that they had been forced to take off their shoes at Madrid Airport, and some said that they had encountered some embarrassment at the airport in which place. I thought that their experience was really rich, and it was very lively along the way.
"Okay, guys!" Yang Cheng waited until their excitement had passed. Only then did they interrupt them. "Now there is a delay here. I don't think I want to train anymore. I will leave you on today. But don't go out at night. Leave me in the hotel. São Paulo is not very peaceful at night!"
The players listened. Nodded.
"I checked the Internet a few days ago, and I found that the crime rate in São Paulo is not low. The number of violent crime deaths per 100,000 people is 12 and Rio de Janeiro is more, reaching 34 people, my God Ah, how much crime is this? "
"Not to mention, this has been the result of São Paulo for the Confederations Cup and the World Cup in recent years. I have made great efforts to improve the security, if it is in the past, I am afraid more than this number!"
"Haha. So ah. Don't go out at night, otherwise, please be careful not to come back!"
"I heard that the West and South districts are safer. There are the rich and middle-class districts. It's safer. The Molongbi Hilton we want to stay in is in this district, but it's better to reduce outings!"
Speaking and laughing, a group of people came to a very high steel cable bridge.
"Look, that's Olivier Bridge, one of São Paulo's most famous attractions!" Goetze watched the distance from afar, and shouted immediately when he saw the bridge, letting all his teammates go to see it.
The most unique thing about this bridge is that it is composed of two x-shaped bridge decks and an x-shaped suspension tower, but from Yang Cheng they are now driving on the bridge deck, all they can see is the x-shaped bridge deck. Hanging tower.
"Don't look, wait until we enter the hotel, overlooking the bridge from mid-air, more spectacular!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
He was staying at the Hilton Hotel in Sao Paulo. From the 27th floor, he could overlook the entire bridge from the room, and it was very close, so that he could truly feel the magnificence and uniqueness of this Olivier Bridge.
This time, the German team entered the Hilton Hotel and directly packed the three floors of the hotel, namely 25, 26, 27, and there are no more people on the 28th floor, so the floor of the German team is the highest. It can also ensure that the team is not disturbed by outsiders in Sao Paulo.
A group of people made a bend from the x-shaped deck of the Olivier Bridge and entered the Hilton Hotel across the river.
The hotel has already received news. As soon as they saw the arrival of the German team's bus, they immediately arranged for the staff to greet them. They took the group of internationals with private suitcases on board and took them into the lobby.
The staff of the national team had already checked in for the German team. As soon as they arrived, they began to be assigned to the number card of the room, and each returned to the room to prepare for a rest. After all, they had just experienced such a long-distance flight. It is indeed choking, and they are all going to the room to enjoy the Olivier Bridge.
"Unlucky!" Bierhoff came over as soon as he saw Yang Cheng, with a wry smile.
"What's the matter?" Yang Cheng felt that this guy with a frowning eyebrow looked funny but strange.
Bierhof and Yang Cheng walked and said, "Guess who is living downstairs?"
"Who is it?" Yang Cheng walked into the elevator and pressed the 27th floor. He lives on the top floor.
"Japan National Team!" Bierhof said.
According to the schedule, the German team ’s first cup of the Confederations Cup is Japan, Brazil and Mexico play in Brasilia, and Germany and Japan play in Rio de Janeiro, so it was unexpected that both teams chose to place their resident in São Paulo. , And even stayed in the Hilton Hotel.
"That's good, at least it proves that we stepped on Japan under the feet!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
For Japan, although this national team has beaten France in the warm-up match, Yang Cheng feels that this can't explain any problem at all, because the French team dare to lose even the national football, what dare not?
Bierhoff is not as optimistic as Yang Cheng. At least Japan has been performing well since the new head coach Zaccheroni came to power. After winning the Asian Cup, the results have always remained stable.
While they were chatting, they saw the elevator stopped halfway through. When the door opened, they saw two people standing outside.
Coincidentally, they all know each other!
"Ha, Mr. Yang Cheng!" It turned out to be an old friend who once coached AC Milan's Zaccheroni.
"Hello, Alberto!" Yang Cheng also smiled and politely shook hands with Zachelloni who came in.
Stood next to Zaccheroni, with the same expression as the dead dad. Wasn't that Sakihiko Masaki who was fired by Yang Cheng? Unexpectedly, he can't mix in Europe now. He ran back to Japan's national team as Zachello's assistant.
Yang Cheng swept the corner of Misaki Masaki, then stopped looking at him and smiled at Zaccheroni. "I didn't expect to see you here, Alberto, we haven't seen you in years!"
Speaking of that year. Zaccheroni was also somewhat embarrassed. During his time in charge of AC Milan, he didn't eat Yang Cheng's losses, and Bierhof was not his player. The three people gathered together and the topic of discussion was More, in the end, I didn't even go to the 27th floor. I stopped directly halfway and found a place to drink coffee and chat.
The place they picked was right across the Olivier Bridge. The whole curtain wall can be seen, and it is just a panoramic view of the Olivier Bridge. The sight and scenery are really beautiful. Talk in this context. The atmosphere is naturally good.
At that time, Yang Cheng represented Inter Milan and Zaccheroni represented AC Milan. The two sides didn't have a lot of competition, it was the fight between you and your life, but now, after so many years, we have changed the environment, and everyone's mood is also different. A little bit more and more signs of going back.
Bierhoff was both Zacheroni's former player and the leader of the German team, so the three people were easy to talk about, but it was Misaki Saki, he and Yang Cheng's grievances and complaints against everyone. I know, after the German team won the European Cup last year, he was slapped with a slap in the face, and now he was left aside. It was really neither walking nor staying, fidgeting, as if sitting on the needle tip. Like, it's very interesting.
"The group's first battle against Germany, this game is not easy to play!" Zaccheroni is very clear about Yang Cheng's strength. He went to the European Cup on the spot and felt that the German team led by Yang Cheng is getting better and better. , The better the better.
Yang Chengzhan smiled, "Alberto, your team is not easy, I am still thinking about how to play, there is no countermeasure for the time being."
This sentence was neither deliberately concealed nor malicious, but I do n’t know what happened. Misaki was listening, but it seemed to have some opinions, especially when I saw Yang Cheng ’s smiling face, I was very upset and snorted coldly. .
"Mr. Sakihwa, do you have a toothache?" Yang Cheng turned his head away, sneered at this guy who was purely brushing a sense of presence, and thought to himself, I was not going to find you anymore, you even returned Come to provoke Lao Tzu!
"I don't have a toothache, it's none of your business, but I just want to tell you that we won this game!" Saki Hua is not tall, but he has a big tone, especially the one who speaks. momentum.
Bierhoff was uncomfortable to hear. When working with him before, he still felt that the Japanese had a little skill, but he did n’t talk much and did n’t have deep contact. Until later, he went directly to Yang Cheng for trouble through himself. Only then did he really see this person clearly, but what he did not expect was that he would now say this and challenge the book in person!
But when Bierhof was about to speak, Yang Cheng took the lead, with a sneer, "Are you so confident?"
"Yes!" Misaki Saki said.
Yang Cheng chuckled, "People who don't know think you are the head coach of the Japanese national team!"
This sentence made Misaki Masaaki look at him, and then looked at Zaccheroni. Sure enough, the Italian's expression was also unhappy. After all, he had such an opportunity to have a good conversation with Yang Cheng as a friend. What trouble did the Japanese make? ? The representative who surmised to fight against Yang Cheng?
"Interesting, interesting, I used to hear people say that you have a hand in training physical fitness, but you can't see that you have a hand in tactics, and you can still know the prophet. Let's do this. I will give you a chance, but if you lose , How to count? "
Misaki looked at Zaccheroni, and knew in his heart that he was annoyed by the head coach of the national team. Riding a tiger is difficult, "What do you say?"
Yang Cheng smiled, "To say something offending, we are here as identities. I could not have accepted your challenge at all, but since you are not convinced, let's gamble if I lose. I will I admit that I lost to you in the newspaper. I apologize to you, I believe that you have been holding me like a mad dog all the time. The purpose is to give this breath, right? "
Misaki's mind was guessed by Yang Cheng, and he nodded immediately. "Okay, I promised, what if I lose?"
Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Frankly, you are not worth much to me, it is worse than that, if you lose, my request is not high. I will write a sentence on your Japanese uniform Then, in every game of the Confederations Cup, you put this jacket on me. Before and after the game. It ’s all around for a week, how ??
This is for Misaki Saki. It's not a big deal, but Yang Cheng pays more.
It seemed that he was still worried about Misaki's retreat, and Yang Cheng continued with a big breath: "In this way, in order to avoid others saying that I am bullying the small, I let you, if you lose, I will lose!"
This time, it really pushed Misaki Masaaki to the dead end. Under the watch of Bierhoff and Zacheroni, if he dare not agree to recognize this grandson, don't expect to raise it in the future. Start to be a man.
"Okay, I promise you!" Misaki nodded.
Yang Cheng smiled, "Relax, I will be ready for the game!"
Finished, looked at Zaccheroni, "Alberto, I'm going first, we have a chance to recount the old!"
Zaccheroni also stood up, nodded incessantly, and gave away Yang Cheng.
As soon as he walked out of the coffee house, Bierhoff shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why are you really betting with that kind of person?"
This gambling is not good for Yang Cheng. If he loses, then he will lose a lot. If he wants to apologize in the newspaper, can he win? It's just writing a sentence on someone's clothes. What can it do?
"I don't think so, I regard this as an extra loot, and let the sheep go!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
But he didn't say that at the team's mobilization meeting the next day.
…………
…………
"I met Misaki Masahisa while drinking coffee yesterday. Who should you remember?"
Yang Cheng said this, the meeting room in the Sao Paulo Cortiá base was suddenly a noisy group, and people who knew were explaining to the people who did n’t know what Misaki Masaaki and the national team were all about.
"The little Japan faced me with a challenge and made a warfare, saying that he would be able to kill us, but I was angry, so he bet with him!" Yang Cheng said seriously.
This expression made Bierhoff, who was watching from the side, felt that it seemed more serious than the sky falling. It ’s completely different from yesterday ’s relaxed expression. Did this guy learn to change his face?
"If I lose, I have to apologize to him in the newspaper. I have been coaching for 18 years and I have never admitted to others. If this time, we lost to Japan in the first game of the group, then I am really I'm going to lose my face! "Yang Cheng said more deliberately.
In fact, he will be able to speak better at that time. For example, he actively admits that the team ’s skills are not as good as others. He says that Misaki Masaki ’s physical training is excellent, and he is not as good as him. He has a lot of demeanor, but he is deliberately serious now, so that this group of players who do not know the truth think that the head coach will lose face after losing the game.
Who is Yang Cheng?
In today's German football, Yang Cheng is a god-like figure. Who can allow him to be ridiculed like this?
It must be said that if it is not because of such high prestige and influence within the team, it has been safeguarded by so many people, Yang Cheng really dare not use this method of inspiring the team, but his move is also from Ferguson. Learned.
"Boss, you can rest assured that we will help you get rid of him!" Schweinsteiger stood up and said indignantly.
"Yes, we will help you get rid of that little Japan!"
"Beating them without any skin!"
"It's best to win and let them self-confidence without a place, laparotomy!"
"Eh eh, the Japanese are not popular with the spirit of Bushido now!"
Was suddenly noisy in the meeting room.
Yang Cheng gave a heavy palm and made everyone quiet again.
"Guys, I want you to remember, not just Japan!" Yang Cheng looked extremely serious, and he spoke very hard, "I want you to remember Spain and other teams!"
"Do you know? After we defeated Spain and got the European Cup, many people doubted that our European Cup was a coincidence, a steal, a time when Spain was in poor condition and played badly. Stealing, countless people think that we are a fluke, and I am very unhappy about this! "
"But they are right. In the past, we have lost to Spain three times in three consecutive competitions. Two of them were the finals of the World Cup and the European Cup. We only won once. Judging by the score, if we are behind by 3 goals, we only get 1 goal back. The score is still 1: 3. We are still behind! "
"If we lose again this time, it proves the sarcasm and sarcasm of everyone, proves that we are indeed inferior to Spain, and proves that our European Cup was won by chance, not by strength!"
"I hope that in this Confederations Cup, you can use one game and one victory to prove yourself, to tell everyone that we got the European Cup deserved, We do not lose to Spain, we can beat them once, we have enough strength and confidence to beat them a second time! "
"I have confidence, do you guys?"
"Yes!" The players shouted in unison.
Yang Cheng and Bierhoff, Barak and others looked at each other, and they all knew that this morale is now available!
