"Thomas, is it cold on the ground?"

Under the tent at the top of the snow-capped mountain, Lars? Bender approached Thomas, who was prostrate on the ground? Mueller, smiling. 1——

"You've been lying down for a long time, shouldn't you?"

See Thomas? Mueller didn't respond, Lars? Bender grinned again, "Or I can suggest to the boss and ask him to give you a little more time, and then you can think about it and whether to shoot or not!" ”

"It's so long-winded!" Thomas? Muller said coldly.

"So are you going to shoot or not to shoot? The whole team is waiting for you! "Lars? Bender laughed.

Thomas? Müller pulled his face away from the air rifle's sight, rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if to loosen his sockets a little, and turned his head to find that everyone was smiling and looking at him.

And another one like him who was crawling on the ground was Sven? Bender, this guy is the most disagreeable, he actually let his brother carry out harassment tactics, it is so shameless, it is simply despicable and shameless.

"Boss, let this guy go away a little, he's harassing me!" Thomas? Mueller immediately protested loudly.

Yang Cheng nodded, and as soon as the whistle sounded, he pointed at Lars? Bender: "You, get out of the ring!" That serious appearance made everyone present burst into laughter. Mueller and Sven? After Bend restarted the standard, everyone was silent and watched in silence.

This is an air rifle competition, specially arranged on the top of the snowy mountain, two by two to start a duel, the loser has to take off his clothes and run naked on the top of the mountain, of course, not to strip naked, but to take off the rest of the underwear, anyway, all the men present are used to walking birds in the locker room. I'm not afraid to be seen.

The first set of matchups is Thomas? Mueller and Sven? Bender, both of whom had 5 chances, looked like they were still hesitating, and finally forced Yang Chengcheng to have no choice. I could only speak, "If you don't shoot again, the two of you will be punished together." ”

As soon as these words came out, I heard that the two of them were very soon standard, bang gun non-stop, and I saw the target in the distance snapping, 10 shots later. The two of them got up from the snow and saw people running in the distance.

"Thomas? Muller, 4 shots! ”

As soon as Yang Cheng announced, this kid was a little proud, and everyone else cheered.

"Sven? Bender ......" Yang Cheng deliberately paused, leaving a little suspense, and everyone looked at him, "All 5 shots were hit!" ”

"Wow!!" Everyone was in an uproar. This kid actually hit both, is this possible?

"Head, you won't deliberately trick me, will you?" Thomas? Mueller was a little skeptical.

Yang Cheng took out the two targets. It was found that this was indeed the case.

"I often go hunting in the forests near Kaiserslautern!" Polite? Bender said with a smile, it tastes like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, which makes Thomas? Mueller's whole person almost fell headlong, this marksmanship ...... Bad luck!!

"Take it off, you don't have any muscles anyway!" Yang Cheng had an expression that you really disappointed me, but what he said made everyone present laugh for a while, and they all coaxed Thomas? Mueller undressed.

"Take it off, wait for me to warm up first!" Thomas? Mueller stepped aside.

"I'll oversee him, sir, and you go on!" Schweinsteiger fears that the world will not be chaotic.

It didn't take long. Just see a Thomas in briefs? Muller was running naked on the top of the snowy mountain, the temperature was not high today, it was noon, and there was no wind, so as long as the physical activity was on, there was actually nothing to do. Everyone watched it with relish, and some even picked up their phones and prepared to take a picture of a naked running door or something.

Pairs of matches were played, and some people kept running out and running naked, while others were loudly coaxing on the sidelines, which added a bit of popularity and heat to the lifeless snowy mountain top. …,

After a week of hard training, today is the last time they climbed the snowy mountain, and after today's training, the team will return to Germany for the final preparations before the European Cup, so today Yang Cheng specially arranged a ski shooting training to let the players relax and relax.

In the past week, in addition to insisting on physical and team training projects such as mountain climbing, cycling, and kayaking, Yang Cheng has also organized many interesting competitions, such as skiing, golf, basketball, etc., as well as mountain buggy games, and also turning over the car.

Although this kind of training camp is very hard, it makes the atmosphere in the team very good, especially the mood of the players has been greatly improved, and the unity of the team is greater, which is also what Yang Cheng sees very much, and even veterans like Ballack and Deisler have persevered in all the training projects, proving that they are not the kind of role that drags their feet, and won the affirmation of their teammates.

In addition, Yang Cheng, who has rich experience in the so-called family training camp, also specially organized some family activities, but basically arranged them in the evening, and he was able to dilute the players' resistance to the training camp through family activities.

After coming down from this week's special training, Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the effect of the special training. Schmidt and Tim? Hank and others are also very happy with the results of the training camp, and the team will move on to the final adjustment stage, and they will do everything to adjust the form and fitness of the players to the game before the European Championships.

It's not easy, and it takes everyone's work together.

After the air rifle shooting competition, the group went straight down the mountain, and the whole process was full of exclamations and laughter.

After 2 weeks here, they became skiers one by one under the guidance of the most professional ski instructors.

Back at the hotel, Yang arranged for the players to undergo a physical examination and then proceeded with the spa treatments that must be performed after each training session.

After lunch, I took a nap and left Tignes in the car.

After staying here for two weeks, many players have fallen in love with this town, especially the players' families, who seem to have come to this picturesque snow-capped mountain town for a vacation, and they are a little reluctant to leave.

For the players, leaving Tigne means that the final moment will be in place to decide their fate.

There are now 30 people in the training squad, and only 23 people can make it to the European Championship squad, which determines that 7 people must leave the team. This is undoubtedly a very cruel choice, because everyone has been training together for so long, and no one has seen any players leave.

But the restrictions on the list make this decision so tragic. It has to be done.

Since leaving Tigne, the atmosphere in the squad has been a little different, especially with the players, who are clearly feeling the pressure to come, both for the 23-man squad and for the upcoming European Championships.

For those struggling to get on the list, the next few days will decide their fate. And for those players who have been consistent with getting a pass, it is the upcoming European Championship that will decide their fate.

In the first encounter with Spain, no one can relax!

For this year's European Championship, not only the team did their best, but even the German Football Association also made a lot of money.

First of all, on the issue of bonuses in this European Cup, during the team's training camp, Yang Cheng contacted Nilsbach by phone, and the latter confessed to Yang Cheng about the bonus system during the European Cup. This includes a whopping €500,000 prize money for each player if Germany wins the European Championships. …,

Nilsbach and Bierhoff have developed a detailed bonus system, including if the team fails to win the championship. Reaching the finals can also get a bonus of 350,000 euros, the semifinals are 250,000, and finally pushed back in turn, until the group stage, Nielsbach and others originally planned to arrange the group stage bonus, but Yang Cheng vetoed it by one vote.

Nilsbach and Bierhoff's argument is actually not completely unreasonable, because the qualification of the group of death is always accompanied by luck and chance, if the group stage is not arranged, then the group does not qualify, does it mean that the player has to play three games for the national team for nothing and not get any reward?

But Yang Cheng still chose to refuse the group stage bonus. Instead, the prize money was raised to qualify from the group, and each player would receive €150,000 from the group, the same prize money that the team received when they finished runners-up in the 2010 Cup.

One of the important reasons why the German Football Association has been able to spend so much money on rewards for the team is that their income has increased a lot, which is a significant increase compared to 2010.

The first is the arrival of Yang Cheng. The German Football Association has been able to attract more sponsors, the sponsorship fee has also increased, the overall income of the German Football Association has also increased, and the arrival of Yang Cheng has made more sponsors optimistic about the German team.

The second is the UEFA bonus, this time UEFA has increased the rewards for the participating teams, they have come up with a huge prize of more than 200 million euros, each participating team can get at least 8 million euros in bonuses, and there are rewards for winning and drawing in the group stage, and if they can win the championship all the way, they can get a huge bonus of more than 25 million euros at most.

From this point of view, the German Football Association's reward is also very good, higher than the German Football Association is the host Ukraine, and the French team in the same group as Germany, if the latter can win the championship, the maximum prize is 524,000 euros.

In addition to the prize money, the German Football Association attaches great importance to this European Championship in the arrangement and arrangement of the training camp.

This time the team will set up camp in Gdansk, Poland, and the German Football Association has booked a hotel in advance, which is a 17th-century manor hotel, with very complete facilities, surrounded by parks, and at the same time in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, which can ensure that the team is not disturbed and affected by the outside world to the greatest extent.

There are 70 rooms in the hotel, and the German national team has all booked them, because there are so many teams and staff.

Since there is no training ground near the hotel, the German Football Association decided to arrange land around the hotel for the city of Gdansk to build a new training ground for the national team during the European Championships.

Although the training ground is relatively small and simple, it will cost about 300,000 euros in total, and after it is used up, it will be given to Gdansk to be used as a place for local school sports, which is also a great act of kindness for the German Football Association.

But Gdansk is not without rewards, and the municipality assures that during the national team's presence in Gdansk, they will give the most comprehensive protection measures, with 24-hour guards accompanying them. Ensure that the German national team is not subject to outside influence and harassment.

…………

After returning to Eintracht Frankfurt from Tigne, the German team immediately ushered in its first warm-up opponent, Heathfield's Switzerland, which was also the first match between Yang Cheng and Heathfield at the national team level.

In this game, Yang Cheng used two batches of players in both halves. One group is the main team, and the other group is fringe players, but it seems that every player in this national team is not in the state of the game, and it can even be said that it is far from it, and the best performance in the whole game is the veteran defender Kyle. …,

But even if Kyle performed steadily, he still couldn't prevent Switzerland, who defended and counterattacked, from taking away a narrow 1-0 victory from Germany's home stadium.

"It seems that the rumors from the outside world are!" Heathfield did not leave immediately after the game. Instead, he and Yang Cheng found a place to sit and chat in the stands of the stadium.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, he knew that although the German team was training in a closed way recently, the outside world had been very hyped, especially after the addition of oil and vinegar by Sakihuā Masaya, the statement that Yang Cheng did not know how to adjust the physical fitness of the national team and blindly led the national team in the way of the club has attracted huge attention from the outside media.

Now this warm-up game is lost. and the poor form shown by the players, which is obviously confirming Saki Huā Masaya's speculation about Yang Cheng and believing that after this warm-up game. The perception of the German team will change.

"Do you think I'm that kind of fool too?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Heathfield shook his head, "Of course I wouldn't see it that way, if you're stupid, then who else dares to say they're smart?" ”

"It's just that I'm worried about you, will you be able to adjust before the European Championships?"

Yang Cheng is also not sure enough, "There should be no problem." ”

"In the first game against Spain, and in the group of death, the test for you is not big enough, if you can't adjust, then this edition of the European Cup. The German team may not even be able to qualify from the group, and then all the media saliva will definitely drown you! ”

"Am I going to be scared?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.

Heathfield shook his head and smiled, this is like Yang Cheng's answer, after so many years, this guy has changed a lot of things, and his personality has become calm. But the self-confidence in his bones, which can even be said to be arrogant, has not changed at all.

"Frankly speaking, after this warm-up match, even if I know that you are not in shape, I can feel that you are far from Spain's opponents, and if you want to fight hard, Spain will definitely be able to eat you!" Heathfield looked worried, because his Switzerland was hopeless, and Yang Cheng's Germany still had.

Heathfield's Switzerland are the only team to have beaten Spain in recent years, so he knows exactly how to limit them, although Spain is stronger now than it was in 2010 and some things can't be changed.

"You have too many problems in the defence, Kyle is good, but Mertesacker showed a flaw in this game, Spain is much more clever than us in taking chances, if this game is Spain, the old guy Bosque can make you a 5-0, at least, you should know better than me."

In this warm-up game, the German team exposed a lot of problems, some of which were caused by physical fitness and physical exhaustion, but some of the problems were the team's shortcomings all along, such as the problem of the back line, which Yang Cheng could not solve.

There are just so many people, the characteristics are there, no matter how clever the tactics are, it is impossible for the players to suddenly change their characteristics, right?

As for arranging tactics according to the characteristics of the players, Yang Cheng has not not considered it, he has also practiced it in training, but this tactic is very different from the offensive football style he has always advocated and admired, and even if the tactics are changed on the spot, it cannot ensure that the German team can achieve better results.

Heathfield looked at Yang Cheng, and he suddenly felt that Yang Cheng was very courageous.

Why?

The Real Madrid he coached was the strongest team in the world, and he could command Real Madrid in club competitions, seeing who killed whom, invincible, that kind of satisfaction, that feeling, it is impossible to find in today's German team, because the head of today's German team has always been a mountain like Spain.

Spain is like Real Madrid in the field of the national team, and Real Madrid is the highest peak and most outstanding work of Yang Cheng in his life, and now it is equivalent to letting Yang Cheng lead the German team to challenge his own peak, which is not something anyone can do.

From now on, Yang Cheng is very combative, and his goal is also very clear, in the 2014 Copa do Brasil, he wants to coach a German national team that can break through his peak, and then knock Spain down.

But now it's 2012, at least from the current point of view, the German team has a big gap with Spain in terms of overall strength, or the individual ability of the players, which is not something that Yang Cheng can make up for alone.

"To be honest, the current Spain team is very different from the one in the 2010 South Africa Cup, and it has become stronger, so I can't give you any good advice, and I believe that no one knows this Spain team better than you, so, as an old friend, I can only say, ask for a lot of blessings!" Heathfield doesn't look too bullish on the German team either.

The difference in strength is there, and there really isn't much chance of winning!

"Don't worry, no matter what the outside world says, I won't admit defeat, because in my dictionary, there is no such thing as admitting defeat at all!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently and said proudly. (To be continued)
