When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Yang Cheng raised his clenched fists high, as if he was facing the world, announcing the return of his king!

Compared with the scoreless game against Spain in the first game, in this game against Portugal, Yang Cheng's team can be said to have resolutely implemented the targeted tactics he arranged before the game, firmly suppressed Portugal from the beginning, choked Portugal's dead end, and then beat Portugal without any ability to fight back.

Sometimes, it's as simple as that on the football field.

But if you despise it and think it's easy to coach a team, then I'm sorry, you're wrong!

In Portugal, every player in the German team showed a sufficient level, in Yang Cheng's opinion, they probably played about 80% of their state and strength, and they performed better than the last game against Spain, so they did a good job on the field, in the score, and in the ability to grasp opportunities.

Some people say that in the first game against Spain, Yang Cheng was almost perfect as the head coach, because from the entire layout to every adjustment in the game, to the final counterattack, it can be said that he is impeccable, and the only thing he is worse than Bosque is luck.

It's hard to say about luck, as if Yang Cheng couldn't stop Klose from getting injured, and it seemed like he couldn't stop Gomez from going in, let alone Jérôme? Boateng's mistakes, these have nothing to do with tactics, they have nothing to do with the manager, this can be said to be a sudden incident in the game, and the manager cannot be aware of it.

But in Yang Cheng's opinion. There are so many accidents, and another reason that has to be said is the body and condition of the players.

Sometimes it's just that weird, like playing Portugal, from the tactical execution to the individual performances of the players. All of them can be described as excellent, this is because their bodies have begun to get out of the bottleneck of the large-scale training camp before the European Cup, and their form has begun to recover rapidly.

There are many things that affect the whole body. As long as the body is well, the state is restored. Then everything will be easy to do.

After playing Portugal, Yang Cheng is confident that he will play the French team in the last game, because he knows where the problems of the French team are, just as he knows where Portugal's death hole is.

While Yang Chengzhen was thinking on the sidelines, the players on the court were already celebrating excitedly.

After the first painful defeat to Spain, they were all holding back their bellies, and now they can finally vent well, which makes this group of German internationals seem inexplicably excited.

On the other hand, the players of the Portuguese team who are competing in the same game. They all pulled their heads and looked depressed, because they lost to the German team, which means that their hopes of qualifying are very slim, and even unlikely.

In the final round, Germany played France and Portugal met Spain, and Portugal had a chance to qualify only if they beat Spain. Germany and France are also trying to win their opponents, but relatively speaking, Portugal's hope of winning is the smallest, unless Spain, which has already qualified in advance, deliberately releases water, but this is obviously unlikely.

All the eyes of fans around the world are on the European Championship. Isn't deliberately releasing water tantamount to self-destructing Spain's image?

"Congratulations, Chief!" Xiao Xiaoluo saw Yang Cheng walking towards him, and immediately showed an indescribable stiff smile on his face, this kid is not good at hypocrisy, and he insists that he laugh, it is even more ugly than crying.

Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "Your performance is excellent, don't blame yourself!" ”

Xiao Xiao Luo sighed deeply, he sometimes thinks, is this fate?

He can do well at Liverpool at Real Madrid, he can have a whole bunch of team-mates to help him, he can rise to become the world's top superstar, but he can't get that treatment in the national team. …,

This couldn't help but remind him of Shevchenko, a nuclear warhead is also a tragic figure, so he smiled, "There is nothing to blame, speaking of which, I am much better than Shevchenko!" ”

When Yang Cheng heard this unsuspecting joke, he sneered and laughed directly, "It's so cold, but it's okay if you can joke!" ”

Xiao Xiaoluo nodded towards Yang Cheng, "I still have to go to the locker room, we are not completely without a chance, we must play until the last minute, good luck, boss!" ”

Yang Cheng nodded, watching this proud disciple walk back to the player's tunnel, looking at his back, Yang Cheng felt that he had matured a lot, and he was no longer the child who had to hide in the quilt in the room and cry late at night because of his father's death.

Sometimes think about it, isn't the maturity of people forced by the environment?

"Good luck too, boy!" Yang Cheng looked at the player's passage that had lost Xiao Xiaoluo's back, the black hole was empty, but he was muttering to himself over there, but the voice could only be heard by himself.

"No one is going to scold me now, right?"

The post-match press conference was crowded with reporters and media from all over the world, all waiting for the appearance of the managers of both sides, hoping that they could give some explanations and comments on the game, especially Yang Cheng.

Paul? Bento was the first to appear, but his influence was not enough to arouse the addiction of the reporters present, and it was not until Yang Cheng appeared with a smile of playfulness that there was a commotion at the scene, but as soon as this guy sat down, the first sentence jokingly ignited the confrontation between him and the media.

His words immediately made most of the reporters present laugh heartily, and a very small number of reporters felt embarrassed, but they also have to admit that after this game, if anyone criticizes Yang Cheng and his German team, it will be really unreasonable, because at least this European Cup has played so many games so far, and the German team's style of play can be described as the best-looking.

Dare to play directly against Spain, dare to press Portugal to beat wildly, and the German team has won the hearts of fans in both games.

"Mr. Yang Cheng. What do you think of this victory? A reporter was the first to raise his hand to ask.

'It was a very tough game, Portugal were strong and gave us a lot of threats, but in the end we won the game. It's very important, the win belongs to everyone, to the whole team. ”

Another reporter stood up. "Mr. Yang Cheng, in the first match Gomez and Jérôme? Boateng has been sluggish. They also had a lot of controversy after the game, but you continue to trust them and they all reward you with a good performance in this game, did anything happen in between? Also, how do you rate Hummels, who is the best player in the game? ”

This should also be everyone's doubt, because after this match, Gomez and Jérôme? Boateng was the most eye-catching, but the best in the German squad was centre-back Hummels. The centre-back, who replaced Mertesacker, seized his chance and put on a world-class display that stunned the crowd.

"First of all, first question, do I have a relationship with Gomez and Jérôme? Boateng had a proper communication, they were my players, I knew and trusted them, and in the first game they made some mistakes. But I think they've done their best and I'm sure no manager is going to criticize a player who is playing at his best, right? ”

"Similarly, no manager would put a conscientious player on the bench and not let him contribute to the team. So I asked them again, and I think it's just a normal decision that all managers make. ”…,

Yang Cheng didn't attribute the credit to himself at all, and he could hear what he meant from his tone, that is, everything was due to the player's own transformation, and it had little to do with the head coach.

'The second question is, I've always believed that Hummels is a top centre-back, and I've always said that he has what it takes to play in this team, but I'm also saying that he has the potential to continue to improve, so what I can say about Hummels is that he's good, but not good enough, because he can be better!'

Many reporters at the scene affirmed Yang Cheng's answer, this guy is really a general to deal with reporters and the media now, at least among the national team coaches, there is really no second head coach who can make reporters and media obedient like him.

"We have received the news that Klose has recovered, and I am sure all the fans are looking forward to Gomez's good performance in this game, if Klose recovers, who will be the main force in Germany's attack? And the centre-back, is Hummels qualified to challenge Mertesacker? ”

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded and replied, "The characteristics and styles of the two players are different, I will choose players according to the opponent, just like I said before, playing a major tournament like the European Cup relies on the joint efforts of the 23 players in the team, not a certain group of players." ”

Immediately, a reporter raised his hand, "Does this mean that you will make some adjustments when you play the French team?" ”

"Of course!" Yang Cheng nodded, "The characteristics of the French team and Portugal are different, I can't always play the French team according to the tactics of playing Portugal, right?" He smiled as he spoke.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, what do you think made your team win this game? Also, what did you enjoy the most about the team in this game? ”

Yang Cheng pondered for a moment and replied: "I think the teamwork of the players, and their hard work and dedication to the game, is the key to winning the game, and what I am most satisfied with is our defense, I see a solid German team, and I also see a German team that is very strong to win." ”

"As I said after the game in Spain, the real German team is back, but he still needs to grow and it will take time, so I believe that with the deepening of the European Championship, with the accumulation of experience and excitement in the game, the German team will get stronger and better!"

When Yang Cheng sang praises to the players, the players also sang praises to the team's head coach when they were interviewed by reporters in the comprehensive interview area after the game.

"I'm very, very happy because I scored!" Speaking to reporters, goal-scorer Gomez was very excited, "but I owe more credit to my manager, who trusted me a lot, even when I was controversial and questioned. He always trusted me, even though he never said a word of distrust to me. ”

"It touched me so much that I swore after the fight in Spain that I wanted to repay his trust in me. So from the start of the game I felt really good and I believed I had a chance to score goals. And in the end I did! ”

One pass and one shot, Gomez can be said to be the big contributor to the German team's victory over Portugal. Had it not been for the over-striking performance of Hummels at centre-back, the man of the match would have gone to Gomez, who finally showed his bloody fangs.

"My rivalry with Klose? No, I have a good relationship with him, at least there is no problem between us, and I believe that our rivalry will not affect our friendship, he is a very high level striker. I hope to learn more from him, but I'm not going to give up my main position easily! ”…,

The team's on-field captain Lahm also said in an interview, "To be able to beat Portugal in the second game after the first game was unfavorable, the manager's pre-match planning was very important, he made us know clearly from the beginning how to play, and laid the advantage from the beginning to make this game easy." ”

'I think the biggest change for us in this game was at the back. The arrangement of the three midfielders has solidified our defence, but everyone can see that the back three does not mean that we are conservative in tactics, on the contrary, even if we play in the back three. But our attack is still so good. ”

"I believe that our head coach has found the best strategy for the team's consistent performance!"

The other two defenders who have performed well in Jérôme? In an interview with reporters, Boateng and Hummels praised Yang Cheng, believing that the coach's targeted arrangement and tactical preparation before the game were the key factors for them to play well.

However, the team's vice-captain Schweinsteiger said in an interview after the game, "There is nothing to celebrate about winning Portugal, we have not yet qualified from the group, we need to win France again, but the victory in this game has rekindled our pursuit of the highest honors." ”

'In May, we trained and prepared for the tournament, everything revolved around winning the European Championship and now we should continue to work towards that goal, beating Portugal is just the beginning and we should not lose sight of our ultimate goal!'

The team's captain Ballack also warned his teammates in an interview with familiar reporters, "Don't get carried away because of a win, we lost to Spain in our first game, which makes us lose to Spain in three consecutive tournaments, which fully proves the gap between us and this team in terms of strength." ”

"If we want to go far in the European Championship, Spain will be our strongest rival, so we have to keep improving ourselves and fight for the game, only then will we have the opportunity to meet Spain again and try everything to beat this strong opponent and be ashamed!"

The words of the players and the manager appeared in the major newspapers in Europe and around the world the next day, and everyone spoke highly of and recognized the German team's victory over Portugal, but many famous players, including Beckenbauer, believed that the German team still has the opportunity and potential to continue to improve.

But when the outside world was in a commotion, the German team returned to Gdansk overnight, Yang Cheng still chose to give the player's family a chance to enter the residence overnight, Avril and Natalie's mother and son also came to visit, but after one night, the team immediately put into the final round of the group stage to prepare for the intense preparation.

The French team, like the German team, must win the last game to ensure the qualification of the group, so Yang Cheng strictly required everyone in the team from the beginning to go all out, and this battle against France cannot be lost.

When the team was preparing for the game, the European Cup continued, and Group A played the final round of matches, the Czech Republic defeated Poland 1:0, Greece beat Russia 1:0, which directly led to the reversal of the Greek team by the previous favorite Russian team.

According to Yang Cheng's previous guess, unless Spain loses to Portugal in the last round, otherwise, if the German team qualifys, the most likely opponent is the Czech team, the first team in Group A, so a series of investigations around the Czech Republic have been started from a very early stage, but after the Czech Republic qualified first in the group, it was more intense.

On the second day after the final round of Group A, Portugal and Spain, Germany and France, the two matches in Group B will be played at the same time, which is also specially arranged by the organizing committee at the same time in order to avoid the phenomenon of deliberate release of water by some teams.

The venue for the German team in this game is the Lviv Stadium, which they have already played in Lviv, so they are relatively familiar with this stadium, on the contrary, the French team has drawn one and lost one of the two games in the group, and now they are on the precipice.

Therefore, Yang Cheng thought before the game that the French team should probably come up with a relatively more active formation and tactics, at least the last game of the group to fight, and take the initiative to fight a tough battle with the German team.

But what he didn't expect was that Blanco not only chose to pull out a game with the German team, but also chose an extremely passive tactical formation, which made Yang Cheng, who was full of confidence before the game, miscalculate.
