Super Coach - Chapter 1013

This warm-up match with the Czech team looks more like a match between the two teams examining the bench.

The main players of the Czech team are also similar to the German team, and they are all playing in the mainstream European league. This makes them also suffer from the situation that many main players cannot participate in the national team training. Both sides are also examining the bench lineup.

Among the 11 players in the starting lineup of this game, Yang Cheng didn’t even have a main player, and the captain’s armband was also worn on midfielder Hedira. It is conceivable that Yang Cheng’s adjustment and reform efforts have been How big.

But it is precisely because of the great reform efforts, so in the game against the Czech Republic, the German team encountered huge difficulties, especially this group of young players, obviously lacking sufficient tacit understanding and cooperation awareness, was directly contained by the Czech Republic Offensively, he lost the game 0-2 in Prague.

Although the warm-up match lost, Yang Cheng repeatedly said in an interview with the media after the game that he wanted to observe the players more in this game, and many players also fully reflected in the game. own ability.

“Winning or losing is another matter. I am very happy to see the gratifying changes that the players have shown in the game. We have many young players who have shown hard work and are not bad. I am satisfied with this. I also believe that they have the ability to stay in this national team. “

Losing this game did not have any impact on the German team and Yang Cheng, because everyone knows that this is a game to investigate newcomers. Looking at the players in the last game, Afodi Gaki was only 17 years old, but was also sent by Yang Cheng in the second half. It is conceivable that this game is purely a ticket-like, veritable friendly game.

In contrast to the Czech team, although this team has many main players, but the players are basically mature. They are all mature stars who have been practicing in the European League for many years. Compared with the young boy scouts of the German team, they only got a 2-ball lead, which is not a glorious thing.

At least the head coach of the Czech team repeatedly emphasized that he was not satisfied with the team’s performance and believed that too many opportunities were wasted and that he did not create more absolute scoring opportunities. Because in this game, in his opinion, the Czech substitute team played the German youth team. Win 2 goals. Was glory?

After returning from Prague to Germany, the new national team training after the Confederations Cup was officially disbanded. After a week of training, the players returned to the club and devoted themselves to preparing for the new season of the league. Yang Chenghe coaching staff also began to prepare for the September list and announced it 2 days later.

The new issue of the German national team list consists of two parts. One is a regular list of 23 people.

Goalkeepers are Neuer, Adler, and Ziller; guards are Ram, Jerome Boateng, Hevedes, Bad Steuble, Hummels, Mertesacker, and Schmei Hurze; midfielders are Sven? Bender, Lars? Bender, Goetze, Hedira, Tony Klos, Thomas Müller, Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Royce , Podolsky and Schulle; strikers Klose and Gomez.

This is also the official list of the German national team. It does not seem to be the same as the list during the Confederations Cup. Yang Cheng is also clear that this should be regarded as the strongest set of rosters that Germany can form at the moment.

But this time. In addition to being on the regular list, Yang Cheng has added an additional list of 7 people.

The seven people who were fortunate to follow the national team for training were Samed Yesher, Gundogan, Draxler, Kako, Kevin Walland, Lewis Holtby and Emre? Hom.

The previous ones are old acquaintances, and many people are no strangers to them. Lewis Holtby is a good technical midfielder. It belongs to the typical pass, cut and run. The advantages and disadvantages of the Bundesliga players are also obvious. In the case of Ozil, Tony Klos, Goetze and other outstanding stars in the front waist position, Holtby cannot temporarily shake their position. But he also has a big advantage, 22 years old.

Emre Kan is a Turkish descendant. When he was competing with Turkey for Yeshir, this player was also the focus of the Turks, but Emre Kan was still unmoved and expressed himself. I just want to play for the German team.

He is the captain of the German youth team and an organized midfielder, but he has good defensive and running abilities, as well as technical and passing characteristics. It is the midfield engine of the German youth team and is now also in Bayern Munich. Mixed up, known as the ideal successor after Schweinsteiger.

And this player has good physical fitness, anti-high ball characteristics, good frontal defense and good sense of position, the key is to be able to play central defender, it is the type that Yang Cheng likes at first sight, and is warming up with the Czech team He also played for a while in the game, and the performance was not bad. Yang Cheng stayed in the team.

At the press conference announcing the roster of the national team training, Yang Cheng made no secret that he would focus on the next goal of the national team. At the same time, he also put forward higher requirements for Gomez.

“I know that Bayern Munich ’s frontline competition is very fierce, and I also know that Gomez ’s ability is not a problem, but I think that any player who wants to enter the national team must have enough matches to prove themselves and guarantee His own state, so that he has a chance to play a better level in the national team game. “

“Gomez is an excellent striker and I firmly believe that he can prove himself again at Bayern!”

Since losing the main position last season, Gomez’s performance this season has also been tepid. It seems that there is no such ambition and ambition to take back the main position. This makes Yang Cheng to his One attitude is not satisfied.

One of the reasons why has caused such a situation is that everyone feels that Gomez is a natural successor to Klose, and they all feel that Klose is so old. Once retired, Gomez is the striker guarantee of the German national team for the next ten years, but Yang Cheng is not ready to give him such a reverie.

“We should see that in the current Bundesliga, a number of outstanding strikers have emerged, such as Samed Yesher who has performed well after the start of this season, as well as Kevin Walland and Ka In the exam, I think they all performed well. They meet the requirements of the current national team. “

“I will properly consider more newcomers in the national team in the next training and competitions. My selection criteria for players are never based on media hype or fans. I ’m the head coach of the national team. I ’m responsible for this team. For the Football Association, for all fans who love German football! ”

“Anyone. No matter who he is. I can’t always ensure that I am in the main position of this national team!”

Yang Cheng’s remarks were considered to be the final warning to Gomez, reminding the striker that he should get up and catch up, at least he should show the sharpness that a killer and striker should have, Rather than be content on the bench, that is definitely not what any head coach would like to see.

And with Yang Cheng’s announcement of this list, and his remarks. Regarding the new round of frontline competition for the national team, there has also been a resurgence of flames. Many forwards, including Kisling and Helmers, have left the national team for a long time. But forwards who have always maintained a good goal efficiency in the Bundesliga have expressed that they hope to return to the national team.

Is kidding. In the past two years, the German national team has achieved a bumper harvest and successively won the European Cup and the Confederations Cup. It is the most competitive team in the Brazil World Cup next year. Who does not want to have the opportunity to play for such a team. The opportunity to use the national team as a platform to touch on the dream World Cup?

The spokesperson of the national team responded to the media ’s hot news, saying that Yang Cheng welcomes any striker to enter the national team. He will continue to investigate every player. As long as it is suitable and excellent enough, he will have the opportunity to enter the national team … May 5 , Fritz Walter Stadium, Kaiserslautern, Germany

Ushered in the old opponent Austria, this time the German team took advantage of the home, but not polite with Austria.

Yang Cheng arranged the main lineup for this game, the goalkeeper is Neuer, the back line is respectively Ram, Bad Steuber, Humels, Jerome Boateng, the midfielder double back is Schweinsteiger, Sven? Bend, attacking avant-garde are Schuler, Ozil and Royce, single forward is Klose.

After a week of intensive training, the German team exerted a strong offensive pressure on Austria at the beginning of their own home, especially this game replaced the starter of the injured Thomas Muller in training. It is also trying its best to show its strength.

In the 21st minute of the game, Schüller cooperated with Ram on the left. The latter broke the opponent’s defense after receiving the ball and passed the low pass. Royce inserted a push and scored. The German team opened the first record!

After, Austria began to enter the defensive state, the two sides kept the score at 1: 0 and entered the intermission.

After the second half of the game, the German team once again sounded the offensive horn.

The whistle just sounded less than 1 minute, Ozil scored the ball to the right in the middle, Royce led the ball straight in, and assisted Klose to help the German team rewrite the score to 2: 0 in the 46th minute!

Successive goals have made the German team look like a cracker, especially the two flank sides seem to have a strong impact. Both Scherle and Royce frequently threaten the two wings, tearing the Austrian defense line, creating opportunities for Klose in the middle. .

In the 67th minute, Bad Steuber made a long pass to find Xuerle. The latter passed to the bottom line. Klose, who was outsourcing in the middle, rushed to the goal and the header was pushed into the pass of Xuerle. The goal of Austria, 3: 0!

After ensuring the victory, Yang Cheng made a substitution adjustment. He tried to get Podolski to play the striker, and then used Lars Bender and Tony Cross to go up and play 433 tactics. Ability to make appropriate changes.

Ultimately, the effect of the change is not very satisfactory. The German team is in a stage of offensive chaos. If the defense is not stable and guaranteed, it may be attacked by Austria.

In this way, the German team defeated Austria 3: 0 in Kaiserslautern and won the group 7 consecutive victories in the European regional qualifiers in the World Cup qualifiers. With 3 rounds remaining in the group stage, the German team has almost steadily won the group first.

For this game, Yang Cheng’s adjustment at the last moment was mixed, but it is generally believed that Podolski is not suitable for single forward. Yang Cheng should consider letting Gomes, at least the latter as a striker, More suitable than Podolski as a single forward. It is also more impactful.

But Yang Cheng was obviously not ready to compromise. During his training, he had an exchange with Gomez. The player Gomez was humble. This point Yang Cheng never denied. He also knew that Gomez belonged to that. A very professional player, but now he needs Gomez to show his domineering and tough personality. To compete for a main position.

Yang Cheng couldn’t imagine that the forward who had high hopes for him would be difficult to play in the club. That will be a tragedy that can’t be seen. Especially the golden age of 29 years old, began to be willing to substitute?

After 4 days, the team went away to face the Faroe Islands. Yang Cheng ’s starting lineup did not have Gomez at all. Even, Yang Cheng would rather continue his own without preparing to enter Klose. Debugging without tactics. Reluctant to give Gomez a chance.

Goalkeeper Neuer, the defenders are Schmelzer, Bad Steuble, Hummels and Ram. The midfielders are Sven Bend, Schweinsteiger and Tony Cross, in front of Thomas Muller, Ozil and Royce. Among them, Thomas Mueller and Royce were at the forefront, and Ozil frequently retreated to take the ball.

In the face of the Faroe Islands, the German team’s tactics showed a strong offensive force, the team directly in the third minute by Thomas Mueller broke the Faroe Islands goal, after the German team The away side didn’t leave a face on the Faroe Islands, but played a round of offensive frenzy as much as possible.

Thomas Muller and Royce each staged a score twice, Ozil and Tony Clos each scored a goal. The German team slaughtered the Faroe Islands 6-0 away and won the group with a huge lead. 8 consecutive victories, while qualifying from the group ahead of time, won the group’s first title.

This also made the German team the European region of the World Cup. The earliest team that stood out even earlier than Spain. What is even more rare is that the German team ’s performance in the qualifiers is convincing. In other words, it is the team with the strongest offensive and defensive abilities in the qualifiers.

The outstanding performance made the German team greet with overwhelming praise, and Multimedia all praised Yang Cheng’s team, thinking that he had found the key to the German team to open the door to victory, that he built a set of perfection for the German team Offensive and defensive system.

For the team’s outstanding performance, Yang Cheng did not conceal his satisfaction.

“I am proud of the performance of the players, they are all very good players, and they have made great contributions to the team. Many of them are indispensable members of the team. I firmly believe that as long as we Everyone is working together and our team will be getting better and better. “

And for the team’s spiritual changes, Yang Cheng feels the greatest self-confidence.

“With the European Cup and the Confederations Cup, our team has undergone very gratifying changes in mental outlook. The players have become more confident and more patient, even when they encounter difficulties, they all have Have enough confidence to believe that you and your teammates will be able to overcome difficulties and perform better. This is very important for a team. “

However, with everything on the team performing well, Gomez seems to be becoming a big problem for the German team, because as the media is hailed as the German striker in the next few years, he failed to In these two rounds of qualifiers, even a one-minute chance to play.

“I talked to Gomez, I think he should be more proactive, he should take convincing playing time to prove himself, but more importantly, he should let people see that he has changed the status quo Ambition and fighting spirit! “

“I believe that any head coach cannot accept the lack of fighting spirit of his forwards and the lack of strength like that, but I did not see this in Gomez. I think he needs to regain his ambitions. Aspirations, using facts to prove that he is still the best striker in German football! “

From this interview, what the media interpreted was that Yang Cheng’s hatred for Gomez was not iron.

Perhaps the bench has been sitting for a long time, and he has worn away some of his sharpness and ambitions, which makes Gomez feel a bit at ease with the status quo, but the striker Yang Cheng wants is not like this, so Gomez’s changes are a bit off It is also not difficult to understand the expectations of the head coach who are placed on the bench.

After being criticized by Yang Cheng, Gomez said in an interview with the media that he would work hard to regain his status and regain his confidence and fighting spirit, “do more and say less, this is my creed, I hope the best Gome Si can come back in the shortest time! “

But Yang Cheng seemed unsatisfied with Gomez’s progress. At the end of September, when he announced the October national team training list, he even further forced Gomez to directly exclude him from the 23-man roster and 7-man bench list In addition, instead, the 23-man roster was Leverkusen teenager Samed Yesher.

Yang Cheng did not give any answer as to why Gomez was abandoned, but everyone can see that this is Yang Cheng ’s step-by-step pressing against Gomez. He must at least let the Bayern striker break out in this desperate situation. .

Of course, if Gomez can accept even leaving the national team, then there is no way. There is a saying that is correct, and the mud cannot help the wall, then Yang Cheng can only be forced to give him up, let him in Bayern Forget it on your bench.

After all, he is the head coach of the national team. What he needs and chooses is the kind of player who can fight. (To be continued)
