Wang Dan saw what You Mo was thinking, so he didn't tell him the real reason why Yang Chen called.

The first round of the Bundesliga happened to be Kaiserslautern at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, and Rehhagel specially named Yang Chen before the post-match meeting between the two managers, and the three finally talked for a night.

The myth of the Red Devils is fading in continental Europe, but it is still heard in Germany itself. In addition to bringing earth-shaking changes to Kaiserslautern, the influence of these two guys on the German football world is also phenomenal.

In the just-concluded World Cup, the aging German team lost to the young and unrestrained dark horse Croatia team, and finally reached the quarterfinals. As a regular participant in the finals of the World Series, this result is a bit unimpressive.

The reason for this is that the word "old" is enough to explain everything.

Older age is just a symptom, rigid tactical thinking, rigid selection of personnel, and slow on-the-spot command, if these characteristics are imposed on a team, then even if it is a super team that has won the Hercules Cup three times, it will be difficult to turn over.

Kaiserslautern may have created a myth, but the team has only sent a new player to the German national team.

Barack.

Moreover, with Andreas Müller, Sauer, Effenberg and Jeremes in the team, the new core of the Bundesliga Red Devils does not have much room to play, and in the end it can only suffer the bitter consequences of defeat with the team.

Only comparison can make the gap shocking.

Modern football is developing at a high speed, with more and more emphasis on moving forward quickly, and the creation and grasp of opportunities are completed in an instant under the requirements of the rhythm of the overall battle. German football has always been known for its discipline. Almost all the choices of the players on the field are the faithful response of the usual training, and under such rigorous and meticulous tactical requirements, the players on the field are obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game.

Old. Sluggish and lacking in creativity, such a team can only shake their heads and sigh when compared with the young and energetic Croatia, France, and Brazil, both ordinary fans and professionals.

In addition to the tactical style of play, there is also the issue of material selection.

The German youth training system has always been known for its high success rate. In recent years, there has been a clear gap in top talent, so much so that the team has not been able to bounce back strongly when the situation is not good.

This situation has heightened the suspicious gaze of the followers.

Is the century-old European powerhouse in decline?

In the face of unbearable records. Amid the cynicism of the opponents and the lack of a future in sight, German football has fallen into a real slump.

Where is the hope?

Those who are interested will not forget the roots of the Kaiserslautern myth, in which some radicals quickly shouted "Vogts is out." Rehhagel came to power". It made the Bundesliga Red Devils panic up and down.

In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Rehhagel took the initiative to make a statement. He said that he had no intention of becoming the coach of the German team. In the end, the veteran coach Riebeck took over the reins of Vogts and became the helm of this strong team.

However, even if he refuses, the reporters will not let him go easily.

"The whole world of football is brewing a big change, and German football is just the first to hit a key juncture."

"How to strike a balance between ornamentation and practicality."

"German football, which has always been known for its practicality, has fallen to a much more youthful pace. Both the scene and the result. As well as the attraction to the audience, the football teams representing the highest level of the country are far behind. The impact of this failure. It's clearly more than just a World Cup. ”

"If you don't change your thinking, it will be a matter of three or five years if you are abandoned by the times."

"We only did one thing as a team last season."

"We have made the trust between each other to the extreme."

"This kind of thing seems simple, but it's not."

"The higher the level of competitive athletes, the stronger the personality. When the team's results are mediocre, this personal appeal is overshadowed by the immediate difficulties and is less noticeable. ”

"Once the praise is all over the place and the championship is in the bag, individualism quickly takes hold. This kind of thing is human, and they cannot be blamed for being too demanding. ”

"How to fully display the personality of the players on the basis of teamwork is an important trend in the future development of football."

'We've lost two very important players this season and the impact has been huge.

"Sometimes, though, bad things can have a good positive impact."

"After losing them, the whole team was full of a sense of crisis, 17 Bundesliga opponents, three Champions League group stage opponents, we didn't dare to be careless.

"Confidence, courage, risk-taking, the things they left behind are still there."

These words were the content of Rehhagel's interview before the start of the season, and Yang Chen repeated them to Wang Dan almost word for word.

The implication is actually quite simple.

Like Kaiserslautern, Arsenal also won the Carabao Cup double last season. Unlike the Red Devils in the Bundesliga, Arsenal have been steadily improving this season and are aiming for the European Champions League. In this situation, Yang Chen felt the need to remind You Mo.

The foundations of the two teams are completely different, and the culture is even more 108,000 miles apart.

Wang Dan naturally thanked You Mo for this kindness, and originally planned to tell it before going to bed at night, but after seeing the absent-minded state of the person next to the pillow, he gave up.

Life in London is far less comfortable than Kaiserslautern's, and Arsenal's attitude towards Youmo is nowhere near as difficult as that of the Bundesliga Red Devils. Even after scoring two goals in two league games, Arsenal fans still feel that his style of play is far from the word "gorgeous".

has not yet stepped into the threshold of a giant club, but there are players and fans who claim to be giants. In this situation, the sudden increase in standards is actually a lack of confidence.

As a client, You Mo is just demanding himself with the basic qualities of a professional player, and he has no sense of belonging in his heart.

Wang Dan, who has been paying close attention to all this, deeply understands the truth. But she couldn't say words of comfort.

Leaving Lu Wei, farewell to Rehhagel. Labor pains are inevitable.

Bidding farewell to the familiar Bundesliga, it is undoubtedly difficult for a strong man to adapt to the outliers in the Premier League in a short period of time, and to quickly find a sense of belonging in this multinational force. She doesn't know much about Arsenal's dressing room and only scratches the surface of Arsene Wenger's temperament. Her instincts told her that it wasn't as rosy as it seemed.

Before bedtime.

"If you're not happy, talk to your old friends. Why torture yourself? ”

Wang Dan came back from taking a shower, and found that the guy in the room was still tossing himself, with a flat expression on his face. But there were some waves in my heart.

For the guy in front of him, the beauty of the past has a fatal attraction, and the more he devotes himself, the more difficult it is to extricate himself.

But. Words that have been deliberately avoided. Did it work?

"yes, those guys aren't too embarrassed to call me." You Mo took the towel handed over by Wang Dan, wiped it on his head and neck a few times, and hung it around his neck.

Shorts, barefoot, bare upper body guy, with this towel is a perfect match. Wang Dan only glanced at it and couldn't help laughing.

"A baby from the township. Big cities aren't used to wow? ”

The sudden Sichuan dialect enlivened up a lot of atmosphere.

Although both of them are from Sichuan, their perennial life of running around has gradually changed their language habits. In addition to the old people in the family, they are still stubbornly using Sichuan dialect. Everyone else has long been accustomed to communicating in Mandarin.

"I'm a rotten kid who likes to fight, and I can't compare with you city boys."

"Can't find an opponent here?"

"There are many opponents, and they are not in the mood."

At this point, the conversation came to a standstill.

The intensity of the Premier League is even higher than that of the Bundesliga, and the scale of physical collisions and penalties is not the same. Playing football in such an environment, You Mo should actually be more comfortable in water.

It's a pity that the lack of a sense of identity has led to his mediocre desire to perform.

"Actually, it's quite interesting to watch Arsenal play."

Wang Dan opened his mouth again to break the silence, and his voice had returned to its original state. Yumo started a new set of exercises after the conversation was interrupted, and the sound of his punch hitting the punching bag made him not hear the other person's words.

"Don't you think?" After Wang Dan repeated it, he continued to ask.

"From the audience's point of view, it's really good." You Mo stopped his movements, nodded, and added: "It's a pity that I prefer the feeling of fighting on the battlefield." ”

"Art and violence are two words that are so extreme." Wang Dan sighed lightly and smiled wryly.

Seeing the other party's expression, You Mo smiled instead.

His smile didn't taste bitter, it was still the kind that narrowed his eyes slightly and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Actually, there are things in common, but it's a pity that this team and its audience don't appreciate it."

"What's the plan?"

"Wait."

Such a question and answer will immediately end the topic completely. The two of them have their own agendas and are busy with their own affairs.

Waiting for this kind of thing requires patience, careful preparation, and a face for possible endless results. You Mo is not short of patience, and he is actively preparing every day, and the endless result is actually not so terrible.

If you can't fit in, then leave. Be proactive, or reactive, there's always a solution to come out.

The only thing that makes the two feel sorry is that they couldn't meet at the right time.

After a 1-0 home win over Leeds United in the second round, the team's poor attack caused a lot of controversy.

When the teams looked ahead to the season, Arsenal and their technical style of play became one of the targets of the British media. This situation has led to the fact that this team needs to come up with more convincing content in addition to victory.

So, in the third round, You Mo sat on the cold bench for the whole game.

The team won the 94-95 league title Blackburn Rovers easily 2-0 away from home to continue to lead the Premier League with a winning record. Both goals came in the first half, with Bergkamp and Parloer netting respectively. Anelka, who replaced Yumo as a central striker, was impressive, contributing an assist and a key pass.

Old rivals Manchester United suffered a rough start, with one win, one draw and one defeat leaving the old man's team in 10th place.

Such a stark contrast has caused a lot of buzz in the British media.

The more serious newspapers "The Guardian", "The Daily Telegraph", and the less serious tabloids "The Sun", "The Mirror", and "Daily Mail" have all been dispatched, each showing their abilities.

"Such an exaggerated gap in strength makes their game lack of suspense. Blackburn Rovers wanted to win the initiative with a proactive attitude, but their opponents ended the game in the first half with their delicate foot skills. The guy who set the club's transfer record actually sat on the bench in this team, and this happy annoyance simply made the eyes of other managers red with jealousy! ”

"Arsenal got off to a perfect start to the league and Ferguson is in big trouble!"

"Away against an old opponent with a lot of quality, Arsenal presented the team that won the championship last season. The situation of the scene and the result is not unexpected, and people can't help but shake their heads and sigh: who can stop this team? ”

"Anelka has proven himself with quality and he still has an irreplaceable role in this team!"

"Mo still has a run-in problem with this team. But it doesn't matter, his teammates have proven themselves with their strength. His presence only gives Wenger one more tactical option, and there is no need for the team to revolve around him at the moment! ”

"The Bundesliga Golden Boot, which created the myth of Kaiserslautern, can't start in the Premier League, such a thing is really curious!"

Amid the comments from the sky, the atmosphere of the team was a little weird.

It was the Dutch and English who scored the goals, but the French and the Chinese who were the ones who were criticized, and this situation affected everyone to a greater or lesser extent.

Among the two parties, You Mo is still a loner and never takes the initiative to communicate with anyone. Even manager Arsene Wenger and assistant coach Pat Rice have little desire to communicate.

The newcomer is so unsociable that even if there are people in the team who want to be close to him, it is difficult to take the initiative to get in this situation. Adams, Overmars, and Ljungberg, the three fellows who had a good impression of him, were well aware of his present condition, and were very amuseful not to disturb him.

Anelka is the opposite.

The French were not gregarious, and their speech and demeanor were far from those of the cold Dutch and the old-fashioned England. After the strong intervention of his rivals, his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Easy going, enthusiastic, hardworking.

Naturally, others can't pick out such a thorn.

The core of the team, led by Adams, does not want to see the locker room fall apart. Although they don't like the guy who flaunts his worth with a transfer fee, they don't deny his contribution to the team.

The situation in front of them is undoubtedly the situation they want to see the most.

On the basis of the same main structure of the team, when the atmosphere in the locker room is not bad, the newcomers can bring useful additions to the tactical system, and the old people can maintain good condition.

Even the old rival Manchester United is very aware of the current situation and falls on the starting line!

If it can be maintained, it will be a perfect season!

In this wonderful dream, the Premier League was interrupted by the national team competition. Most of the Arsenal team, except for the English homegrown players, began to pack their bags.

"What about you, what's the game?"

In the locker room after training, the smile on Ljungberg's lips could not be hidden.

The Swede rarely plays in the team, but he is a mainstay in the national team, and the current European Championship qualifiers are quite good opportunities to make an appearance.

"Friendly match, no return." (To be continued......)
