In the first round, or the second round of La Liga in the new season, the strength and weakness are already obvious.

Real Madrid 6:0 away Zaragoza, this has undoubtedly completely sounded the horn of La Liga to win the championship, Zaragoza is not a weak team, this team has been a La Liga powerhouse for many years, the strength itself is not weak, and it is a home game, Real Madrid can be 6:0 bloodbath, the strength is no longer needing to say.

Valencia narrowly beat Racing Santander 4-3 at home, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 at home to Osasuna, Falcao, who was pinned on by Manzano, failed to save the Sheets, Sevilla reversed Malaga 2-1 and Barcelona beat Villarreal 2-0 at home.

At the end of this round of matches, Real Madrid topped La Liga with a big victory, and although Barcelona ranked second, the game with Villarreal was very thrilling, and even to some extent, it was a narrow victory.

Everyone has also predicted that Real Madrid will still be the favourites to win La Liga this season.

If they win the title again this season, then Real Madrid will successfully complete the sixth consecutive hegemony in La Liga, which is undoubtedly a great feat that has never been seen in the history of La Liga, plus the Champions League three times in a row, which will undoubtedly make Real Madrid the strongest team in Spain, and even football history, perhaps not even one of them.

After playing the second round of La Liga, Yang Cheng went to Germany with the coaching staff.

After a round of rectification, Yang Cheng's German national team has made great progress in discipline, and with the European Cup approaching, the advantage of qualifiers is obvious, and Yang Cheng has gradually entered the preparation stage.

As early as the end of August, Yang Cheng asked Paul? Bair announced the roster for the new national team on the official website of the German Football Association, and at the same time asked Paul? Bayer called the players separately, and it can be said that from now on, Yang Cheng will enter the selection stage of the European Cup squad, so his training list this time has also attracted much attention.

The three goalkeepers are Neuer, Adler and Wiese, and there is not much suspense, and Neuer has established himself in the national team completely. And he switched to Bayern Munich this summer. became a member of the Bayern gang of the national team and is a veritable number one goalkeeper of the national team.

Yang Cheng also has high hopes for Neuer, Di Palma has a standard goalkeeper body, there are no too obvious flaws of the new generation of German goalkeepers are also very important, in Di Palma's view, Neuer and Adler will be the most powerful and potential goalkeepers in the new generation of German goalkeepers, enough to play a heavy role in the future.

There are also some old faces in the backline, Lahm, Jérôme? Boateng, Bad Stuber, Theresch, Mertesacker, Hummels, Kyle and Schmelzer, Dortmund's left-back is one of the players that Yang Cheng wants to focus on when he recruits the team. He wants to try more full-backs.

The German team does not have the kind of tactics similar to Real Madrid, and the defense line cannot be pressed too high, otherwise, the defect of slow turning alone is enough to completely collapse the German backline, so in Yang Cheng's plan, the German team must pay attention to the participation of fullbacks in the attack.

The midfielders are Schweinsteiger, Mesut Ozil, Toney? Cross, Gotze, Deisler, Sven? Bend, Lars? Bender, and the most notable is Khedira's re-selection of the national team training list, which is after Khedira was kicked out of the squad by Yang Cheng. After more than half a year's absence. He was selected for the national team training camp again.

Yang Cheng has always attached great importance to Khedira, because in his opinion, Khedira is a player with equally obvious strengths and weaknesses, and the key is to see how to use it and whether he can change his shortcomings.

There is not the slightest suspense on the front line, Klose, Gomez, Thomas? Muller and Podolski, all four players have also been selected for the national team once again. …,

By the way, Barak, who was physically injured, previously announced it to the public through Kaiserslautern's official website. At the end of this season, he will retire from football, but this time, Yang Cheng still brought him to the national team, but not on the training list, but as his assistant.

The media around the world are full of praise for the friendship between Yang Cheng and Barak, because Barak was pulled out by Yang Cheng. Among the first players in charge of Yang Cheng was Ballack, who also entered professional football under the leadership of Yang Cheng.

Now more than ten years have passed, but Barak and Yang Cheng announced that they would retire at the same time, which is somewhat embarrassing, but also a beautiful talk?

However, unlike Ballack who is retiring, Yang Cheng only retired from the professional league, and he will devote himself to the work of the head coach of the German national team, and Yang Cheng undoubtedly hopes that Ballack can continue to stay in the German national team.

…………

The German national team has always had a lesser-known tradition, which is similar to Liverpool's boot room culture.

From 1926, when Nelz became the first head coach in the history of the German team, then Herberg was Nelz's assistant, and Herlberg's assistant Schaune inherited Herberg's position, and then De Waal, Beckenbauer and Vogts, all of them have a consistent boot room culture.

Either an assistant to a former coach or a former international, these are the two major sources of German national team managers, among which there are even former stars like Worrall, who have just retired and have not even coached an official game, and have directly jumped to the head coach of the national team.

From Klinsmann to Loew, they still maintain the boot room culture to the greatest extent, but it is obvious that when it comes to Yang Cheng, there has been a drastic change in German football.

First of all, Yang Cheng is the first non-German head coach, and he is neither a former star nor a former assistant, but he is the most influential head coach in Germany in the past ten years, fully promoting the reform of Germany's youth training system, and has played a pivotal role in international football, known as the godfather of German football.

Because of this series of reasons, all German fans affirm and agree with Yang Cheng's coaching of the German national team, and no one will doubt the loss of boot room culture, on the contrary, they all have high hopes for Yang Cheng, hoping that he can revive the spirit and style of the German national team, and let the soft German team under the coaching of Loew return to tradition.

Loew's contribution to the German national team is commendable, but the problem is that he has never been able to lead the current German team through the transformation, and his coaching style and personality have made him destined to be a tragic figure forever, and he has no control over the German dressing room. A very important reason is. He was afraid.

He is afraid of personality, he is afraid of thorns, he is afraid of resistance, and in Loew's world, he wants everyone in the whole German team to be very peaceful, mediocre, preferably no personality, all strangely obedient, and get along well. Therefore, he can't tolerate personality players like Ballack and Frijns.

Glen? Nack once said in his column that the German team under Loew could not get out of Beckenbauer!

Why?

The reason is simple, personality!

Look at how awesome the football emperor of the year was, coach Shaun didn't trust him to play as a free man, so he tried his best to persuade Shaun to agree, and in the 1974 World Cup, he lost to East Germany in the group stage. Beckenbauer directly stripped head coach Schoen of command. He denounced his teammates' performances and devised his own tactics and line-ups, and then went on television to explain it to the public.

At that time, both inside and outside the national team, Beckenbauer's move was greatly doubted, and even opposed, but in the end, he led the team to win the championship. Got the Hercules Cup, this is the role of the leader at the critical moment! ..., and then look at the later Mateus, Klinsmann, Bremer, Effenberg, Kahn, and now Barak, they are all bigwigs, but all of this is completely wiped out after Barak was slapped!

In Germany, football is faith and war. The player is the soldier, the captain is the officer, the soldier's duty is to obey orders, and the soldier rebels against the officer, which is a great deal, but Loew easily downplayed this matter, which led to the complete collapse of the German dressing room culture, and the captain's status and authority plummeted.

There is a saying that destruction is always easier and faster than construction.

Yang Cheng wants to restructure the dressing room culture of the German team and revive the style of play of this team, which in itself is destined to be a long-term and protracted battle, not something that can be done overnight, so he hopes to keep Ballack, not only for the current national team, but also for the future.

Therefore, on the first day of arriving at the German national team training camp, as soon as Yang Cheng saw Ballack, the first thing he said was to ask Ballack, "What do you plan to do after you retire?" ”

The latter is obviously also very confused, once his agent persuaded him to go to the United States, China or Qatar and other leagues to retire, but he didn't want such a mediocre just to play for money, so he refused this proposal, but what to do, he really didn't know what to do.

After playing football for more than ten years, he was suddenly retiring, he was a little scared, a little confused, and didn't know what to do.

"Have you ever wanted to go to coach training and get a coaching certificate?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Me?" Barak was first surprised, then laughed, "Boss, don't tease me, with my character, can you do it?" ”

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Personality has always been a double-edged sword, the key is to see whether you control it or it controls you!" ”

"Besides, I have always believed that all outstanding talents must have a lot of personality, but all those who have an outstanding personality charm have an unusual personality, because only those who have a strong personality can infect the people around them, and then bring out a team with personality!"

Loew is afraid of personality, because the personality of Ballack and others makes him feel pressure, making him feel that he, the head coach, lacks a voice in the locker room, but Yang Cheng is not afraid, Ballack is brought out by him, and he is confident enough to control this fierce horse and control the entire locker room.

"I retired after the European Championships, left the pitch, put on a suit and a tracksuit, and came to the dugout to help me manage the dressing room!" Yang Cheng walked up to Barak's side and said with a smile.

Ballack raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng, who was serious, knowing that the leader was not joking today, and he had some ideas in his heart, after all, entering the locker room of the national team was not a good way out.

Now that he retires, he doesn't need to worry about money, but he can't do nothing, and with his current situation, he can either go to work as a commentator on a TV station, write a column, or work at Kaiserslautern FC, but these are not what he wants.

Yang Cheng's suggestion is very much to his taste, he has not left football, it will not be very hard, and he can learn things under Yang Cheng's hands. This is for Barak. What a good choice.

"Don't answer me so quickly, I'll give you plenty of time to think about it!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

For the time being, everything is going well in the national team, and the current vote of imps has been tossed enough by him, Schweinsteiger has gradually shown some sense of responsibility and responsibility, and Lahm has also taken on the responsibility of the captain of the team, with these two players as the core, plus there are many players in the team from Bayern, so that everything in the national team is developing in a good direction. …,

But as Saki said. There is still a long, long way to go to challenge Spain!

Yang Cheng must build this German team as soon as possible in the remaining year, otherwise, in next year's European Cup, the German team will continue to be sad and continue to live in the shadow of Spain!

…………

…………

In the game against Austria, Yang Cheng continued to play with the full main lineup.

The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer. The backline is Lahm, Kyle, Hummels and Jérôme? Boateng. The double back is still Schweinsteiger and Sven? Bender, attacking the defenders were Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Deisler, with Klose as the single striker, have a total of seven players from Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich under Pellegrini's training advocates a fast attack, which is very close to Yang Cheng's requirements, which makes the current German team based on Bayern Munich players as the team, and it is much easier to run in. The players are more skillful and tacit with each other.

In the game against Austria, the German team easily defeated Austria 6:1 at home with the advantage of overall strength, and then advanced from the group with an impressive record of 7 wins in 7 games, becoming the first team in Europe to enter the European Championship in Ukraine and Poland.

But three days later, the team travelled to Belgium. Germany, who had already qualified in advance, drew 1-1 with Belgium away from home, and although Gotze scored the winning goal for Germany, Belgium equalized in the second half, which made Yang Cheng very unhappy.

Yang Cheng rotated the centre-backs in the away game against Belgium, with Bad Stuber and Hummels partnering in the centre-back pairing, while Mertesacker was not in great form after injury and failed to play in two consecutive games.

Schmelzer and Tresch formed the wing-backs, and Khedira and Toney? Klos formed a back two, Lars? Bender, Gotze and Podolski formed the attacking attack, with Gomez playing as a lone striker.

From the course of the game, Gotze was a sight to behold, and the 19-year-old showed great competitive form and individual prowess. After receiving the ball from midfield, Klos suddenly decided to dribble forward and insert it into the edge of the box, but Gotze quickly stepped forward in front of the goal and gently rubbed the ball into the Belgian goal.

This attack came from the cooperation between the two youngsters, Yang Cheng against Gotze and Tony? Klos was full of praise for his performance.

'Toney is the kind of player who is very talented, he can play in midfield, midfield and even midfield, he will be the future leader of the German team, I am very convinced of that, but the key is whether he can maintain discipline and try to improve his quality and level.

"Gotze is a promising rookie and I've watched him in the league and I'm convinced he will play an important role in the future of the German team."

But while Yang Cheng gave affirmation and encouragement, he also did not forget to give a big stick.

"In this group of their peers, Tony? There is no doubt that Klos and Gotze are the best, but in two years, another five years, we will look back and see if they will be able to maintain this momentum. That's the key! ”

"There is no shortage of young talent in football, but not all young talent ends up making it, I hope Tony? Cross, Gotze, Thomas? If a large number of young players such as Muller can continue to maintain a good mentality and continue to maintain the momentum of improvement, then I believe that they will soon become the backbone of German football! ”

However, for defense, Yang Cheng did not seem satisfied.

"I'm glad we conceded a goal and we were lucky not to lose the game!" ..., defense, it is clear that it has become a big problem for the German team!

Kyle is strong, but injuries began to increase, and he is not young, Mertesacker suffered injuries after his transfer to Arsenal, and his form has never recovered, Yang Cheng used the combination of Bad Stuber and Hummels, but the two have never been able to form a sufficient tacit understanding.

In Friedrich, Metzelder and others gradually faded out of the national team, Yang Cheng is successively promoting some players who meet his own requirements to take on important responsibilities, and the metabolism of the national team's central defenders is also necessary, which has undoubtedly become a major hidden danger.

Of course, the draw against Belgium, to some extent, also has a lot to do with Yang Cheng's large rotation of the player lineup, he hopes to test the bench lineup and bench thickness through this kind of game, and the results also show that the German team's bench lineup is also full of players with the ability to impact the main lineup.

Gotze is still young and can't compete with Ozil for the time being, but Podolski has been in good form recently, both at club and in the national team, and he is in better shape, and he has a stronger scoring ability.

'It was a very rewarding game and he told us the fact that we still have a lot of important work to do before the Euros!

Therefore, after ending this European Cup qualifier, Yang Cheng did not choose to return to Madrid, but went straight to his alma mater, the University of Leipzig!
