Chapter 985: Complete transformation

At 20:45 on the evening of August 15, the warm-up match between the German team and Argentina started at the Commercial Bank Arena in Frankfurt.
Unlike the German team lacking two generals Klose and Ozil, Argentina this time can be described as playing its main role, including Messi, Mascherano, Aguero and other famous players have also appeared in the starting lineup. , And Messi's striker is another Argentine striker Aguero.
After the opening, the German team at home continued to adopt a tactical style of steady play, trying to use the opening to stabilize their defensive system, which allowed Argentina to grasp the initiative and the opportunity from the beginning.
In the 7th minute, after Mesila took the ball to the left, he passed Jerome Boateng in a one-on-one defense and passed the ball. Aguero, who kept up with the midfielder, failed to keep up and the ball was promised. Il intercepted in mid-air and failed to capture people first, which made Argentina coach Sevilla very sorry.
After this most threatening offensive failed to work, the German team also stabilized its defensive system. Yang Cheng's several adjustments have made his defense more in place, and the counterattack has gradually threatened, especially In the 29th minute, the German team continued to pass the ball with a continuous pass, Royce took the ball from the right and entered the penalty area to form a single-handed.
Argentinian centre-back Gare saw that he could not stop Royce, and he resolutely chose to foul and knock Royce down. The German team won a penalty and Schweinsteiger personally demanded the penalty, and Hit the ball directly, 1: 0!
Afterwards, the German team and Argentina had mutual offensive and defensive, and the scenes seemed to be relatively sticky. The German team was practicing and running in tactics. Argentina was difficult to break through the German team ’s defense, and it did not dare to rush to the top. In the second minute of stoppage time, the German team made another counterattack.
Sven? After Bend's successful goal, he quickly passed the ball back to Humels, who took the ball and took two steps forward. The front Thomas Muller saw Ram inserting forward, and immediately moved closer from the side to the middle, attracting the attention of the Argentine full-back and central defender, creating space for Ram's back plug.
Saw Humels make a long diagonal pass to transfer the ball to Argentina's 32m area. When Ram stopped the ball in the chest, there were no defensive players around. He decisively chose to take the ball quickly to the bottom line and pass.
Thomas Mueller attracted attention in the middle, the Argentine defensive player quickly realized the mid-counter and immediately chased Ram, while Thomas Muller took the opportunity to quickly cut into the small penalty area.
Ram's cross came right to the point, and Thomas Muller, who had a good heart, took a close shot to grab a point. The ball was snatched before Argentina's goalkeeper Romero, and the ball was scored in the goal, 2: 0!
Two consecutive goals, the German team is creating threats from the side, and then use the rapid cut and teamwork, from the side to the middle, directly threatening the goal, the entire tactical drill has achieved good results. At least in this warm-up match, it showed its due strength and power.
In the second half, Yang Cheng made a substantial rotation, and made several substitutions. Gomez was also pushed forward by Yang Cheng, and in the 72nd minute, the latter assisted Goetze to score the third goal of the game.
In the 75th minute, Yang Cheng replaced Goetze with teenager Samed Yesher, so that this time several young players who joined the team have a chance to appear, but this is only about 20 minutes. Samed? Yesher and Draxler failed to show their strength, the final game also ended in the score of 3: 0.
Came to the scene to cheer for the German team. German fans were also very satisfied with the result of the game. At the end of the game, one by one stood up from the seats. Cheers for the national team's internationals, and some fans pulled out banners to encourage and comfort the young teenagers, hoping they can make persistent efforts.
Although it was a warm-up match, a press conference was held after the match, but Argentine coach Sevilla did not participate. Everyone focused on the German coach Yang Cheng.
"I am satisfied with the performance of the players in this game. Everyone has shown their strength. Although not all of them have a good performance, I think this is normal, and the most satisfying thing is our ball. The team ’s defense has been greatly improved and improved, which proves that we are on the right path. "
Yang Cheng is right. From the course of the game, apart from a few minutes before the opening, Argentina is difficult to threaten the goal of the German team, whether it is the core superstar Messi, the striker Higuain, or the wing assaulter. Di Maria, failed to create much threat in front of the German team's overall defense.
What made Yang Cheng most satisfied with this game was when defending, the distance between the players and the players was very good.
Appropriate distance can not only ensure the team's effective pass and receive strategy when attacking, but also ensure that the team can effectively control the area space when defending, so when the players have a good grasp of the distance between each other , Proves that the German team has full control of this game.
The final score undoubtedly justified this.
"I think that after the baptism of the European Cup, our players have become more confident, more confident and fighting spirit, but the most important thing is that everyone realizes that as long as we are on the court, we show a whole , Then we have the strength to defeat any opponent, this game undoubtedly confirmed this again! "
As soon as Yang Cheng's words fell, he saw a reporter raise his hand to ask questions.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, how do you evaluate this game, how many young players played on behalf of the German national team? For example Samed? Yesher? Draxler?" The reporter automatically sat down after asking.
With a smile on his face, Yang Cheng nodded and said: "They are all very talented players. I know they are very eager to stay in the national team. I also hope to keep them in the national team, but I regret it. , We have a limit on the number of people, so I must choose the most suitable and the best players to represent this national team to participate in the game! "
"I am full of confidence in them, and I am also very satisfied with their performance tonight, but I hope they can continue to improve and continue to play at a high level after returning to the club. I always believe that they will soon In the future, with his own strength, he will get the national team's ticket again! "
Yang Cheng's answer was fair. Young teenagers are to give some encouragement and confidence, but they should also let them see the cruelty of the competition, let them understand their shortcomings, at least in the current situation, these two teenagers want to stand and stand in the national team It is undoubtedly difficult to stabilize your feet.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, in the European zone of the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifying round. The German team was divided into Group C, and the same team as Sweden, Ireland, Austria, Kazakhstan, Faroe Islands, etc., and The first game of the group is the Faroe Islands. Many people think that there is not much suspense in the qualifying of the German team. What do you think? "
Yang Cheng didn't think much, he always responded quickly when facing the reporter.
"I think we have the strength to qualify from the group. But the premise is that all our players must show their best and play their best. Only in this way can we ensure that we can firmly follow This group is qualified. "His answer also seems to emphasize the importance of team combat and player play.
"Yes, in this group, our overall strength occupies a certain advantage, but whether it is Sweden, Ireland or Austria, we have enough strength to challenge us, and Kazakhstan and the Faroe Islands are not completely harmless, so I think that if we want to stand out from this group, we cannot be too optimistic yet! "
The following reporters listened. Suddenly he smiled.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, it seems that you are still cautious, but as the new European champion team, Germany has become the focus of everyone's attention, and the German team is also one of the few teams that can keep pace with Spain. We I ’m afraid I ca n’t imagine what the Brazil World Cup will look like without Germany!

The reporter used a joke, and Yang Cheng also replied, "Me too!"
Everyone at the scene burst into a burst of laughter, because they could not imagine that if the European champions could not participate in the Brazil World Cup, it would undoubtedly be a big loss for the world football and also a big upset ... ended the warm-up with Argentina After the game, the players returned to the club early the next morning, and Yang Cheng continued to stay in Frankfurt. He still has a lot to do.
First, the most important thing is to further expand the role of think tanks.
During the European Cup, Yang Cheng and the coaching staff, and even all the management within the Football Association, have deeply understood the role of this think tank. After almost every game, they will pay a heavy reward in advance. The scary information comes into the hands of the coaching staff, all of which are related to the opponents of the next game.
The intelligence of each team will be grasped by Yang Cheng for the first time, which undoubtedly makes Yang Cheng more fully in the preparation of the game, and completes the targeted deployment earlier than the opponent, which makes the German team in this session. Cup competition occupies a favorable position.
Today, Yang Cheng decided to further expand the role of the think tank. This is not to expand the scale, but to comprehensively improve the quality of the think tank members, eliminate some members who do not meet the requirements, and at the same time further expand the intelligence of the think tank from Europe. The region has spread all over the world, and Yang Cheng will perfect it in two years.
The Confederations Cup held in Brazil in the summer of 2013 is a very good opportunity for the German team and the think tank.
The German team can completely use this event as a warm-up for the World Cup, adapting to Brazil ’s climate and stadium conditions in advance, and the think tank took advantage of this opportunity to penetrate its intelligence into Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. prepare for.
Another thing that must be done is to determine the training and station of the German team in Brazil during the Confederations Cup and the Brazil World Cup as soon as possible. This is also a major event for Yang Cheng and the German Football Association to plan ahead.
In terms of Chinese warfare, the horses and horses are not moving, the grain and grass are first, and the training place is determined first, so as to avoid the rush of time when the time is not available, and finding the place is not suitable, greatly affecting the team's preparation.
Compared with other teams, the German team has an advantage, that is, they can use the Confederations Cup to investigate and adapt to the station, and familiarize themselves with the environment in advance for the 2014 World Cup.
Yang Cheng will travel to Brazil in early December to participate in the draw of the Confederations Cup. At that time, he will also conduct a field visit to the selection of several training bases provided by the German Football Association, and finally finalize the choice.
"Call!" After signing the document in hand. After handing it to the staff inside the Football Association, Yang Cheng exhaled a big breath, which made him feel more headache and uncomfortable than directing the last game.
"I originally thought that coaching the national team coach should be easy. But now, it seems that there are still things that are too busy?" Yang Cheng shook his head incomprehensiblely and walked out of the office area to the living room of the office.
Has to say that the German Football Association's office environment is really good, at least this office provided to Yang Cheng is spacious enough, bright enough, and the air is good enough. At a glance, it was all green trees, and I felt comfortable in my heart.
"This person is different from others. He is a hardworking person. He does hard work. But a natural born person can see everything and be leisurely. What do you think?" Tim Hank teased Yang Cheng asked Paul Bayer.
Yang Cheng thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense. It's because you guys are irresponsible and doing things idle, so it made me so hard, you go back and reflect on yourself!" Can't help laughing.
Everyone was so amused by his words that he couldn't help but smile.
"What do you think of the next qualifier?" Benitez asked Yang Cheng looking at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng smiled proudly, "The team we are in is generally not strong, of course. There are also tricky goods like Sweden, but whether it is from the overall technical and tactical level, or from the perspective of the strength of the players, we must be higher. All opponents, even more than one! "
Sweden, Ireland, Austria, Kazakhstan and the Faroe Islands, of which Austria and Kazakhstan have already met in the European Cup qualifiers. Yang Cheng's team won the two teams at the beginning, and now naturally there is no reason to miss.
After the European Cup, Yang Cheng ’s German team has been greatly improved in terms of strength, fighting spirit, confidence, etc., especially the psychological quality of the players. It can be said that this competition The championship allowed the German team to complete its sublimation and transformation.
Now the German team is really a strong team, which makes Yang Cheng's next arrangement, the focus is no longer in the World Cup qualifiers, but in the Confederations Cup and the World Cup in Brazil, at least in Yang Cheng's view, Unless the German team overturned its own ditch in the gutter and the results were too ridiculously poor, otherwise, the group's first qualifying position will be stable.
Of course, he can only put these thoughts in his heart. He ca n’t say it to the outside because he ca n’t give the team a mentality of winning. This is easy to directly promote the bad atmosphere within the team, but it will not be good at that time.
"My idea is that every group match must strive to win, because we need more games to hone the team and blend in tactics!" Benitez agreed with Yang Cheng's judgment.
The internationals of the German national team all play in the Bundesliga and other top European leagues, and are the star of each team. This makes the training of the German national team impossible to be the kind of training for a month at a time. Basically, they come and go.
Although Yang Cheng has polished the German team ’s tactics out of the frame, it needs to be further improved. For the German team, the game is undoubtedly the best whetstone. The qualifier is used to sharpen the knife sharply, to the real In the competition, it showed its power again.
"Rafa, you happened to have the idea in my heart!" Yang Cheng smiled and pointed at Benitez. "This time in the qualifiers, I really demanded to win every game. I hope to pass Morale, fighting spirit and confidence in the qualifiers, and then some gains in the Confederations Cup and the World Cup in Brazil! "
Benitez smiled with a fat grinning face, "From the schedule, the first home game against the Faroe Islands, the second away challenge to Austria, the third, away challenge Ireland, these three games are not big problems , But the fourth game against Sweden will be a big challenge for us! "
Sweden did not perform badly in this European Cup, especially the number one star Ibrahimovic, who performed well in the European Cup, and the Swedish team has always been combative.
The body is tall and strong, and there are many technical players on the team. The head coach Hamlen launched a tactical layout around Ibrahimovic, or a quick breakthrough from the wing. It is a weapon of Swedish offense. This team is considered to be a technical genre. One of the best teams to combine Nordic power play.
And the current Swedish team has both veterans sitting and young teenagers rising, the strength can not be underestimated.
But it is not completely free of loopholes. At least their midfielders are too tech-savvy in pursuit of trends, which leads to their poor defensive interception and protection of the rear defense line, and their rear defense line has the same drawbacks as the German team's rear defense line This is a typical short board for teams in the north-north European region.
"There are challenges and difficulties, such games are only fun to play!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently.
Sweden is good, but it is not strong enough to make the German team feel scared. At least in Yang Cheng ’s opinion, today ’s football team can surpass the German team in strength. Counting it, I am afraid that only the BUG General Spanish.
Since the European Cup runner-up can also participate in the Confederations Cup, it is regrettable that the next Confederations Cup and World Cup, two consecutive competitions, Spain will be the number one rival of the German team.
As for other teams, strategically contempt, tactically important, enough! (To be continued)
