Realizing that he could not convince Beckenbauer to change his mind, George decisively gave up on continuing to persuade and instead chatted with the football emperor about the ongoing match between Germany and Australia on the pitch.

Some people may think that George's approach is a bit impatient and perseverance, and it is too easy to choose to give up when encountering difficulties, but don't forget, Beckenbauer was able to earn the nicknames "Emperor of Football" and "Julius Caesar" as a player, and made extremely good achievements in many positions such as head coach, club president and president of the Football Association. With such a character, his willpower and self-confidence are naturally far beyond ordinary people. And this leads to the fact that once he has made up his mind about something, it is difficult for him to change his mind easily under the influence of the outside world.

Under such circumstances, George naturally had no need to dwell on Beckenbauer over this issue. Because if he does this, it will only make Beckenbauer annoyed, and it is even likely to have a serious negative impact on the personal relationship between the two!

"George, what do you think of the current German team, is there any hope of a good result in next year's World Cup?" Beckenbauer looked at the German players who were inseparable from Australia on the field, and his tone was a little melancholy. You must know that Klinsmann was able to become the head coach of the German national team under his strong recommendation, and as a result, although the Golden Bomber made drastic reforms after taking office, the report card he handed over was really lackluster, and his tough attitude and easily offended personality attracted him countless scolds and doubts. Therefore, this Confederations Cup is not so much a test of Germany's preparations for next year's World Cup, but more like an assessment of Klinsmann's work this year by the German Football Association!

In other words, if Klinsmann is not able to compete in this Confederations Cup, then the former football superstar will immediately be attacked by those in the Football Association who are dissatisfied with his reform measures, and demand that Klinsmann, who has touched too many of their interests, be removed immediately and replaced by Summer, who they look more pleasing to the eye!

Despite the fact that German football has shown great unity on the outside, in fact their infighting has always been very serious. As early as the 70s of the last century, the Borussia Mönchen faction led by Netzer, Heynckes and Bonhoff and the Bayern faction led by Gerd Müller and Beckenbauer fought endlessly for the right to speak in the dressing room. The situation is even worse now than it was 30 years ago, not only has the national team become dead and infighting due to the defeat in the European Championship, but there are also many contradictions within the German Football Association (this can be seen from the fact that Wolfeld and Zwanzig were co-presidents of the German Football Association during this time). Therefore, the German team that Klinsmann took over can be said to be an out-and-out mess!

"Franz, to be honest, in my opinion, if Germany wants to get out of the trough of these years as soon as possible and achieve good results in next year's World Cup, then it must give Klinsmann the greatest trust and support!" Hearing the slight distrust of Klinsmann in Beckenbauer's tone, George hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "You should know very well what kind of bad cards Klinsmann got in his hands when he took office." And now is the most critical stage of reform, if you give up your support for him at this time, then next year's World Cup German football will still usher in a heavy defeat!"

In George's opinion, the duo of Klinsmann and Loew is arguably the best coaching combination for the German national team since Beckenbauer. With such a great pair of coaches, George felt that he deserved to let them shine as they deserved, rather than selfishly trying to destroy them before they could prove their abilities!

A former football superstar who played in four of Europe's top five leagues – the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga – as a player, and a former football superstar who went on to mingle in American sport after retiring as a player, Klinsmann has a much higher vision than most of his homegrown counterparts. Therefore, after taking up the whip of the German national team, he was soberly aware that the time had come for Germany to reform in all aspects. The most important thing is that Klinsmann knows how to reform to save the German team that is in a slump, and how to use his prestige as a player to twist the whole team together!

Therefore, Klinsmann will ask for monopoly power when negotiating contracts with the Football Association and carry out a comprehensive transformation of the national team according to his own ideas. For example, a large number of non-Bayern players (such as Mertesacker, Kuranyi, Frijs, etc.), recruited Loew, who was at a low point in his coaching career, as an assistant coach of the national team, appointed Bierhoff as the first leader of the German national team in history, and even invited three non-football professional physical coaches from the United States to join the coaching staff!

In George's previous life, it was the cooperation of the two of them and the introduction of these new professional concepts and training methods advocated by Klinsmann that German football was able to get out of the painful shadow of being eliminated from the group stage of the Euro 04 in just two years, and won the third place in the World Cup held in China, and thus opened the road to the revival of German football!

You know, the blowout of the young generation in Germany was around 08, and there were actually not many high-quality newcomers available in the two years of Klinsmann's coaching, which shows the strong power of the coaching combination and Klinsmann's training method!

"Since George, you have such a high opinion of Klinsmann's abilities, it seems that I should have been more patient. For George's vision and character, Beckenbauer still has a lot of trust. The football emperor knows that the other party will not and disdain to fool him in this kind of thing. Or rather, he knew very well that with George's extremely talent-loving character, it was almost impossible to do such a thing that deliberately ruined people's futures for his own selfish interests!

Of course, the German team's dynamic and attacking style of play today is another important reason for the football emperor to change his mind - in just one year, Klinsmann has brought such obvious changes to the national team, so how many surprises can he bring to German football when the World Cup starts next year?

In this way, when Germany, playing at home, defeated Australia 4-3 and got their start to the Confederations Cup, Beckenbauer finally made up his mind to support Klinsmann and carry out this tactical reform to the end!
