The Alps, covering northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany and Slovenia, are the most famous mountains in southern Europe, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, especially in the Mont Blanc area, with an altitude of 4,810 meters.

Tigne, a famous ski town at the foot of the Alps, is ideal for skiing at an altitude of more than 3,600 metres, with the busiest season between December and April, and the off-season.

Yang Cheng and Klose took a flight from Madrid to Geneva airport, then took a high-speed train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, France, and when they arrived, Bierhoff arranged for a driver to pick them up at the train station in Bourg-Saint-Maurice.

Riding this Audi, surrounded by mountains, driving fast on this not spacious, but winding road, Yang Cheng can deeply feel the grandeur and danger of the Alps through the car window.

The higher the altitude, the greater the altitude sickness of the body, which is also what Yang Cheng is more worried about.

"How has the training camp been in the last few days?" Yang Cheng asked the driver sitting in the front seat.

The driver drove the car and did not look back, "The situation is not bad!" He didn't know the details.

"Does anyone suffer from altitude sickness?" Yang Cheng asked again.

"I haven't heard of it!" The driver replied.

This time, he can finally rest assured, close his eyes directly, and rest well, after all, after a few hours in the car, if you want to say that you are not tired, it is really a bit fake.

Klose sat next to Yang Cheng, always looking sideways, looking out, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps in the distance were unattainable, making people feel ashamed of themselves in front of this spectacular scenery of nature. I deeply feel how small and insignificant people themselves are.

"What's wrong?" Yang Cheng noticed Klose's melancholy appearance and asked with concern.

"Nothing!" Klose smiled slightly, but a little reluctantly.

Yang Cheng is no one else. Klose's every move could not be concealed from him, and he quickly realized Klose's worries, if the German striker is really worried, then it must undoubtedly be his position at Real Madrid.

After joining Real Madrid, Yang Cheng's positioning of Klose has always been the third striker, a change of hands for the team, and Klose's performance has always been very good. As soon as he is on the pitch, he can play to his strengths, but now that Raul has come up, it is clear that he wants to promote the second team's youngsters, such as Morata.

Alvaro Morata's inclusion in the Little Five is a testament to his talent and quality, and most importantly the fact that he is the kind of striker that Real Madrid is scarce for, and his performance in the second team is very good and eye-catching, and his performance in the younger age of the national team is also very admirable. So Raul promoted him, and that was a matter of course.

But once Morata came up, Klose's position became even more awkward.

For now. Neither Raul nor Real Madrid gave any indication to Klose, nor did they say that they would sell him, but Klose himself was able to realize the problem, that is, once Raul came up, his status at Real Madrid would continue to decline.

"Does any team want you?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Klose was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled, he also knew that these things must not be hidden from Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng has his own set of news channels, and he must be able to vaguely guess something. What's more, he didn't think about hiding it, and nodded, "Yes, Lazio in Serie A wants me to be able to play for them." ”

"Lazio?" Yang Cheng was a little surprised, since he left Serie A. The name was already starting to be a little unfamiliar to him, because his brain was limited, his energy was limited, and it was impossible to pay attention to everything. …,

"They have just changed their manager this season, the old coach Rea is leaving, and the new coach Petkovic will officially take charge of Lazio, and he wants me to move to Lazio to strengthen the team's attacking line." Listening to the tone, Klose also seemed to be a little moved.

He is about to be 34 years old, don't look at the fact that he has won so many honors at Real Madrid, but he himself is not very satisfied, because he is still preparing to participate in the World Cup, so he must get more opportunities and time to ensure his condition, and these are not given to him by Real Madrid, but Lazio can.

"Does Raul know?" Yang Cheng asked.

Klose shook his head, "I haven't decided yet, but I'm going to wait until the European Championship is over and have a good talk with him." ”

"Well, if there's anything you need, tell me!" Yang Cheng smiled, "No matter what, I support your decision, and I also believe that you still have a chance to appear in the 2014 squad." ”

After hearing this, Klose couldn't help but laugh, "Is this a packed ticket?" ”

Yang Cheng shook his head, "Of course not, I just said there was a chance!" ”

By the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Klose was 36 years old, and no one can guarantee whether he would be able to maintain a good competitive condition by then, but Yang Cheng was also very aware that on the front line, the German team actually did not have too many talents.

Thomas? Muller is a good and calm scorer, but he is not the kind of player who can get up front, even at Bayern, where Pellegrini uses him from the back, and he needs a player up front to distract him from the defenders.

Gomez is very good, but his technical characteristics are really a bit different from the current German team.

This player is tall and strong, but he is not the kind of striker who stands up, he is very fast, he is powerful on the counter-attack, he can grab points and take chances, he has a very good sense of shooting, but the problem is that he is a little bit sorry for who he is and where he is now.

In Bayern, in order to be able to play Gomez's strength, Pellegrini is more through two wings to tear apart the opponent's defense, pull the attention of the defense, and then send the ball into the penalty area, Gomez needs space to get the ball, he can't do Ibrahimovic's action of taking the ball in a small space to get rid of, so he can only do everything possible to create space for him, so that he can comfortably take the ball and kick.

But in the German national team, in order to take care of Gomez alone, the whole team revolves around him to make such an arrangement. Yang Cheng didn't think it was worth it, because he still had a Klose.

From a physical point of view, Klose was completely blown out by Gomez, but from a conscious and technical point of view. Klose finished Gomez, and in Yang Cheng's technical and tactical system, consciousness is always put first.

Of course, Yang Cheng definitely did not mean to belittle Gomez, the striker is very good, but he is not suitable for the current German national team.

Leaving Klose and Gomez aside, the current German national team is on the front line. It is indeed an indisputable fact that there is indeed a shortage of talents, and even Yang Cheng himself is thinking about how to solve this trouble.

"It's here!" The driver shouted in front.

Yang Cheng, who had squinted his eyes for a while, immediately opened them, sat up straight from his seat, and saw a lake in the distance, and in the distance was a modern town with many high-rise buildings. Built around a lake, the town is backed by snow-capped mountains, with woods and bald rocks below. But at the top of the mountain, it's all a white world.

"What a beautiful place!" Yang Cheng couldn't help but praise, "We have to thank France, they guarded the Clay Fontaine training camp and gave us this good place!" ”…,

Audi quickly crossed the lake and entered the town, but as soon as he entered the town, he turned into a hotel built on the edge of the lake.

The Rekron Duval Clarès Hotel is a wooden hotel with a unique look and a unique flair. The gates and pillars are made of some directly mined, unprocessed stones, which look like they have a rugged aesthetic, but they give it a very sturdy feel.

As soon as the car stopped, Yang Cheng got out of the car and saw a cold air rushing towards him. People can't help but want to shiver, but it's very comfortable, the whole person is in good spirits, and the original sleepiness is swept away.

Yang Cheng took a few deep breaths of cold air, it was very clean, and there were no impurities in the city.

"Do you have winter clothes ready to protect you from the cold?" Paul? Byer walked out of the hotel with a smile, and beside him, Benitez, Tim? Hank and the others also followed, and they just saw Yang Cheng's car arrive upstairs and walked down.

"I'm ready, but I don't know if it's enough!" Yang Cheng walked up with a smile and hugged the group of assistants.

"Come, I'll take you to your room first, the best double room in this hotel, it's been reserved for you, and now it seems like a waste!" Tim? Hank said teasingly.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Then don't waste it, find me a companion at night!" ”

"Really?" Chris? Schmidt asked with a smile, as if he really had a way.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Really, but I'm very demanding!" ”

"That's no problem, you're used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world, who can get into your eyes?" Chris shook his head helplessly, and his words were not completely devoid of that sour vinegar taste.

A group of people jokingly walked into the hotel, along the way Paul? Beyer introduced the hotel's facilities.

Don't look at this hotel is a wooden building, but he has everything he should have, sauna, tennis court, gym, golf course, SPA center, hot water pool, library, indoor swimming pool, etc., this is the best hotel in Tigne, and the facilities are naturally very complete.

"Has everyone else arrived?" Yang Cheng asked as he climbed the stairs.

"It's all here!" Paul? Bayer replied.

"And how are you training these days?"

Paul? Bayer nodded, "Don't worry, everything is going well." ”

Chris on the side? Schmidt added: "We have carried out a series of physical tests on all the players in the training camp, except for Klose, and we are now preparing for the final stage of fitness. ”

Yang Cheng didn't say anything, when he went upstairs, he saw Schweinsteiger and other Bayern players who arrived at the hotel this morning, although Yang Cheng's team just killed Bayern at the Allianz Arena last night, but when they met again today, they became a master-apprentice relationship, and Schweinsteiger still politely took the initiative to greet Yang Cheng.

"I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first, and after dinner in the evening, we'll have a meeting and talk slowly!" After speaking, Yang Cheng walked into his room, turned around and saw off the assistants, and locked the door again.

Although it is a wooden house, the room looks tasteful and comfortable. It's no wonder that it is rated as a 4-star hotel and the best hotel in Tigne, as it attracts the largest number of skiers in the world.

Looking out of Yang Cheng's room, you can see the back of the hotel. It is considered to be the most beautiful ski area in the world, with a cable car that leads directly to the higher ski areas, and that area will be the focus of the German national team's training for the rest of the year.

Prior to Yang's arrival, the German team had been training at a low level of intensity, but from tomorrow they will be facing a hellish round of training. In order to ensure that each of them can appear on the field of the European Championship with full physical fitness and good mental outlook. …,

The team's dinner in Tigne was a buffet situation.

Because the hotel area is not large, it has been fully covered by the German national team, so all the people who live here are the families of the national team players and the families of the coaching staff, and there are no outsiders at all, so everyone gathers in the lobby of the hotel to eat.

Yang Cheng walked into the lobby. immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, because for the families of many people present, Yang Cheng was more of a name that he had only heard of. But they may not have seen it with their own eyes, or they have seen celebrities so closely, so many of them even have a kind of excitement to see their idols.

In this case, the atmosphere of the scene can be imagined.

Yang Cheng looked around at everyone and found that they were all there, so he didn't say anything, just under the gaze of everyone in the audience, he slowly walked over, took something to eat casually, and then found a relatively remote corner to sit down.

Gradually. Everyone began to get used to Yang Cheng's existence, and the atmosphere gradually picked up again.

"How does it feel to leave professional football?" Benitez, the fat man, sat opposite Yang Cheng with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking concerned, but in fact he had a gossip spirit.

Yang Cheng let go of the food in his hand. raised his head, looked at the fat man, and smiled slightly, "It's not different, it's just a change of environment, a different way, do you think the national team is very different from the professional club?" ”

Benitez didn't say anything, his face was indifferent, "The national team is even more cruel!" ”

Yang Cheng was stunned, yes, the national team is even more cruel.

Take the European Cup as an example, three games in the group stage, losing one is the end of the world, especially in the group of death like the German team, you must go all out to win the opponent, and if you can't do it, you must ensure that you can't lose, if you lose, it's really bad, and it can almost be said that you can't qualify.

finally crossed the group stage and entered the knockout round, all of which were a decisive victory.

This kind of life-or-death knockout match can be said to be a final, every game must be played with all its might, and this kind of game has a lot of luck and chance, which is a fatal test for any team and any manager.

So, Benitez is right, if the club's league, or even the two-legged cup competition, can give the manager a chance to make mistakes and make amends, then the national team is a game that almost doesn't give you any chance to make amends, you have to beat the opponent in 90 minutes, or be beaten by the opponent!

It's a very brutal format, but it's also because it's cruel that it's more challenging, it's more exciting.

Especially for people like Yang Cheng, who are full of adventurous genes, they are even more keen to accept such challenges.

"It's good to be cruel, it's fun to be cruel!" Yang Cheng began to bow his head to eat again, but suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Benitez smiled, "I'm just a wage earner, I'm your assistant, I don't have anything to do if I win, and it has nothing to do with me if I lose, what am I afraid of?" He looked like he didn't care about himself, hanging high.

Yang Cheng knew his partner, and he knew that Benitez was not this kind of person, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.

After eating, the family members left, and everyone on the team went to a conference room in the hotel, which was temporarily converted into a dressing room, and everyone sat down on wooden chairs against the surrounding walls, and their things could be vaguely seen under the chairs.

"I believe everyone should know very well the significance of their presence here!" Yang Cheng's opening remarks looked very serious. …,

"I also believe that everyone should know very well that the hardest training and competition schedule awaits you next."

"We were lucky to draw the group of death in the group stage, we faced Spain, Portugal and France, relatively speaking, we didn't have much advantage with them, and even against Spain, we were at an all-round disadvantage, but that doesn't mean we don't have a chance to beat Spain, to beat other opponents!"

"I always believe that the world is very fair, how much you want to get, then you have to pay first, you have to pay, you will get the corresponding return, so I hope you from now on, you have to remember very clearly, my goal is the championship, our team will always fight for the championship!"

"And your hard training today, every day in the future, every hard work you endured, every drop of sweat you dripped, is for the next European Cup, go further, go better!"

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present feel a chill, because they all knew very well that what was waiting for them next would be the so-called devilish special training, how cruel it was, they didn't know, but it must be very uncomfortable.

And unless they want to escape, they can only face it bravely! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
