Sitting in the café of the Hilton São Paulo Morumbi, with your back to the hotel and facing the Oliveira Bridge, you can see the endless traffic on the bridge and all the sound is blocked through a glass curtain wall.

It was a café box, and he was the only one, as if he was in mid-air, overlooking everything at his feet, and on the table next to his chair, there was a cup of coffee that had run out of heat, and it had been placed in the same place since the waiter brought it in, and it had not been touched.

Yang likes to think about things in this kind of place where no one is around, where there is no one to be disturbed, for example, how to play the next match against Spain, because he has received the latest news, Spain defeated Brazil 1-0.

This is not good news for Yang Cheng, because if the opponent is Brazil, he will have more initiative, but now it is Spain, and the advantage of Bosque's hand is too obvious, Yang Cheng does not know how he will play.

However, it is not completely without good news, according to the intelligence received by the think tank, Ramos was injured in the match against Brazil, his right foot was turned, and he is destined to miss the final, the absence of the central defender will be a terrible blow to Spain's tactics, because he is almost the anchor of the Spanish backline in the past few years.

Now that Ramos has matured, he and Thiago? Silva, Kompany, all three have the strength of the world's top central defenders, forming a fierce competition in Real Madrid, and the performance of the three players is very good, which makes Real Madrid's defense known as the world's first, it can be said that he is a great treasure left by Yang Cheng to Real Madrid and Spain.

How will Ramos' injury make Bosque adjust? What kind of lineup will be played in the final? This is a big doubt.

Puyol is no longer in this team. Gerard Pique is the other centre-back. Whether Albiol will go straight to the top or let De La Reed drop back to play at centre-back is a possibility. And if De La Reed were to drop back to play centre-back, what would the midfield look like?

Sometimes, the whole body is moved. With Spain's advantage in hand, Yang Cheng had to think more carefully.

There is another problem that has plagued him since a year ago, or it should be said, a problem that has been bothering him since a year ago, and which has not been solved even now, and that is the team's forward line.

The better Klose plays, the more worried Yang Cheng will be about the forward line, as he has to be prepared for the worst whenever and wherever he wants, if Klose doesn't perform well. Or is it a plummeting form, so how will the German team play?

There is a saying from our ancestors that people have no foresight. There will be near-term worries. Yang Cheng has always been convinced.

Gomez is about to turn 28 and it will be difficult for a 28-year-old to transition from a pure goalscorer to an all-round striker like Klose. And to be honest, there is a big gap between Gomez and Klose in terms of technical details and coordination awareness, whether it is with the current Klose or with the 28-year-old Klose.

Thomas? Muller is conscious, but he lacks Klose's ability to handle the ball in the forward line, which is not something that can be cultivated simply by training, which takes a long time to accumulate, but Thomas? Whether Muller is in the national team or Bayern, he is more of a shadow striker and a second striker.

Thomas? Muller is a top scorer for Bayern Munich and the German national team, and his scoring efficiency and scoring ability are always improving, as well as his assists are excellent, making him a vital member of both teams.

Is it worth it if it is to transform him into an all-round striker, but it affects his progress and future, and affects the results of these two teams? Besides, even if you put Thomas? Muller was cultivated into Klose, so Thomas? Who will fill Mueller's current position?

Sometimes, the role positioning on the football field is not something that can be solved by taking it for granted!

Of course, Yang Cheng is optimistic about Samed? Jeshir, a well-rounded striker, with a high ball quotient, good technique and awareness, scoring ability and shooting efficiency, is a rookie worth focusing on and cultivating, but he needs time, and it often takes a lot of effort and energy to develop such a player.

Yang Cheng has cultivated so many players himself, he knows better than anyone that if it is in the club, they can only focus on cultivating a rookie, and if there are more, it will not work, and it will affect the results.

It's like Arsene Wenger's Arsenal back then, so many rookies, why did Cesc Fabregas play? Is it really because his talent is really so much better than others? As a result, others can't hit it, but he can hit it?

No, Fabregas can play, an important reason is that Wenger devoted the whole club to cultivating him, in order to help him grow and improve, in terms of tactics and squad configuration, he was arranged and arranged with him as the center, which created Fabregas's more and more excellent performance, and finally played.

If Wenger turns this energy to cultivate other players, Yang Cheng can't say for sure, but nine times out of ten, he can play, just to ensure performance and combat effectiveness, Wenger can only choose one of them to focus on cultivation, and the others will adopt a free-range method, or go out on loan to exercise.

Speaking of loan, this is another practice that Yang Cheng dislikes to cultivate young players, because it is full of irresponsibility!

God knows if the other side will give the rookies tactical space to play after the loan is over? Will it give them a chance to compete and practice? Will it give them trust? Perhaps, the other side just sees the rookies as a dispensable minor role to improve the thickness of the bench, and in such a situation, the players can play?

Therefore, Yang Cheng has always felt that cultivating a young player is a systematic project that requires long-term perseverance.

At present, there are many strikers emerging in German football, such as Borussia Dortmund's Malvern? Duksch, Bayer Leverkusen's Samed? Kevin of Jeshir, Hoffenheim? Woland, all three players are post-90s, and they have all appeared and played in the Bundesliga. Woland also played a regular role in Hoffenheim.

Relatively speaking, Malvern? Duksch is tall, although he has good technical moves on his feet. But it looks like there is a move in the direction of Gomez. At one point, when he was in the youth league, he scored 40 goals in a single season, and his goal efficiency was even higher than that of Jehir.

At that time, the focus of the Western Conference in German football was to focus on these two young players. The duo are billed as the two biggest goal monsters in the youth league in western Germany, and both belong to the kind of players who score a lot of goals, but Jehir played at Bayer Leverkusen. But Dukesch is still a little short of it in Dortmund.

It's also a hard thing to say, just like Dortmund's rookie striker, Leinart? Thie, who so many people thought would dominate the German front line for the next decade, is now 21 years old, but he still hasn't been able to make a name for himself.

There is a saying that it is true, strikers are different from other positions, and almost all strikers are famous early. Late bloomers, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy or Toney, are very rare. Especially in the current football environment. The attitude of the fans and the club towards the striker will become more demanding, once the opportunity is missed. Then he may not be able to fight for the rest of his life!

Kevin? Woland was also a top scorer at one time, and when he represented Munich 1860 in the Bundesliga, he often scored goals and was very efficient, but he played more on the wing, and now at Hoffenheim, he is also on the wing, which makes him farther and farther away from the goal.

But Kevin? Volland has been outstanding at Hoffenheim, and Yang Cheng is also focusing on him.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng still felt a little irritable in his heart, because these players were obviously still not able to be used by him, at least not in a short period of time, which made him feel helpless.

"It seems that no matter where I go, I still have to be related to cultivating rookies!" Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although he has always felt that the senior national team should not be an academy, with the current talent situation that is so lacking in the German striker, if he does not prepare, it will really be too late, especially now that Gomez's position in Bayern has been replaced by new signing Mandzukic, Germany's forward crisis will become bigger and bigger.

Just when Yang Cheng stopped thinking, picked up the coffee, and took a small sip, he found that it was cold, and then realized that time passed really fast, so he notified the waiter to come over and change a cup of hot coffee for him.

When you are old, you have to know how to take care of your body, after all, you are no longer young now, if you don't know how to take care of your body, you will be sick when you are old, it will really outweigh the losses.

The hot coffee was delivered quickly, and a buy one get one free, and a barak came.

"You're here!" Barak must have made a special trip to find him!

"You've come just in time, Michael!" Yang Cheng asked Ballack to sit down in front of him, "We will arrange a warm-up match in August and call these players to the national team for me!" ”

Barak took the piece of paper handed over by Yang Cheng, and the names of several people were written on it, including Kevin? Wallland, Malvern? Duksch and Samed? Jehir, all of them are new attackers and scorers that have emerged in German football in the last two years. Jehir has already been selected for the German national team's training camp several times before.

"Did you decide to come on your own?" Barak asked with a smile after looking at the list.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Our Chairman Mao said that we should do it ourselves, instead of hoping for others, it is better for me to come by myself, maybe the results will be faster." ”

After listening to Balak, he smiled and nodded, Yang Cheng and his team are recognized by the world in cultivating and training young players, this group of young players joined the training camp of the national team, and they were cultivated and sculpted, I believe it will be of great help to their future.

"But this matter is not so simple, let the think tank prepare a tactical report for me of Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim, only by combining their tactical system at the club, helping them to improve their skills and tactics, and integrate more into the club's tactics, so that I can play more games!"

Ballack didn't think about that, but when he thought about it, what good was it if a player got some guidance during the national team training camp but couldn't play at the club?

"Klopp may not appreciate it, and maybe he will scold you!" Barak said with a smile.

Yang Cheng summoned Samed? Yehir, the rookie was immediately offered by a number of big clubs, you know, until then. They're all just concerned. However, after entering the national team, these giants offered Leverkusen a price of up to 8 million euros, but the pharmaceutical company has always insisted on retaining people.

Now. Samed? Jehir has performed well in the Bundesliga, has improved a lot, and is now worth more than 15 million. And it has become a major contributor to Bayer Leverkusen's Champions League appearance, and the pharmaceutical company's original retention of personnel and the attitude of entrusting Yehir with important responsibilities have now paid off tremendously.

Now, if Yang Cheng calls Dukeshi into the national team again, then Klopp will be in a dilemma, and he will have to give him a chance to participate in more games and not keep people. Dukeshi will be poached by others again, and he is in a dilemma!

"He's been proud for so long, it's time for him to come up with something. You can't let their club take advantage of all the good things, right? Moreover. After entering the national team, fame along. It's not a good thing to be able to take the opportunity to compete with the club for more competition and training, but you have to pay attention to a scale and don't kill these rookies! ”

Yang Cheng has always considered things well, and now he also attaches great importance to the cultivation of the growth environment of young players, and does not want the media to get too involved in it, and he will use his influence to do this.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!" Barak had forgotten everything while he was chatting, and now he suddenly remembered, "Melissa came with Young, and they said you had asked them out for lunch!" ”

Yang Cheng's eyes immediately straightened when he heard this, "It's over, I forgot about it!" ”

Barak immediately laughed when he heard it, after Yang Cheng returned to São Paulo, he began to be busy with the final with Spain, and ran here early this morning to retreat and meditate, if it wasn't for the fact that he met Melissa mother and son in the lobby, Ballack and the others didn't know that they had made an appointment for dinner.

"Take the list back, I'll go eat first!" Yang Cheng looked a little anxious, not as calm as he was just now.

"I know how to do it!" Barak said with a smile that he found it interesting to see Yang Cheng like this, "They are waiting for you at the French restaurant downstairs, go quickly!" ”

Yang Cheng said goodbye to Barak, went straight to the elevator, and went down to the French restaurant downstairs, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the naughty guy in the distance standing on the soft chair of the restaurant, waving and shouting at Yang Cheng.

"Fortunately, it's past lunch, and there is no one in the restaurant, otherwise, Dad's face will be lost by you!" Yang Cheng smiled wryly, pinched Yang's cheek, and teased him.

Melissa glared at him reluctantly, her eyebrows upside down, and her face was fierce, "You also know that it's past lunch, we made an appointment, but we were asked to wait here, my Caesar, are you really that busy?" ”

Yang Cheng accompanied the smiling face, "It's a little busy, it's been a busy morning!" ”

Melissa didn't say anything more, just now when she was in the lobby, she met Barak, who said that she hadn't seen anyone all morning, because there was no training session this morning, so no one knew where Yang Cheng went.

"I guess you didn't even eat breakfast, did you?" Melissa said sadly.

When Yang Cheng heard this, he wanted to say that he would eat it, but the problem was that his soft stomach was growling uncontrollably.

Yang on the side laughed from ear to ear, and kept shouting, "Daddy's belly is learning frog barking!" ”

What happened next was simple, this little mischievous was beaten by Yang Cheng, screaming and begging for mercy, and the two fathers and sons once again staged a stormy gobbling style, making Melissa sit opposite them with a black line, she is convinced that anyone who sees these two people will have no doubt that they are a father and son, because the style is like to the extreme.

"Are you sure you will meet Spain again this time?" After lunch, they sat and chatted in the dining room.

Yang Cheng's training session in the afternoon will be in the evening, and there is still a lot of time, so he is not in a hurry, and nodded and said: "Confidence must be there, but Spain is not simple, their ability to create and seize opportunities is too strong, and everything must be considered thoroughly, foolproof, and only then can we dare to say that we have a certain degree of certainty." ”

Spain is a bit like Real Madrid brought out by Yang Cheng, both teams have many similarities, for example, in terms of creating opportunities, these two teams are known as the best in the world, this is not bragging, want to limit such a team full of combat effectiveness, who dares to say that they have absolute certainty?

"I got the news that Ramos is injured and Bosque has arranged for Albiol to play as a centre-back in training and partner Pique!" Melissa also has her own channels and sources of information, and she also wants to help Yang Cheng share her worries.

"Smoke bombs!" After Yang Cheng listened, he thought about it, shook his head and said: "Our offense is more based on smooth off-ball running, even Klose, the movement speed is fast, the flexibility is strong, Pique's body is there, the lack of flexibility is certain, if there is another Albiol who lacks flexibility, speed and recovery ability, unless Spain gives up the defensive line forward, otherwise, Bosque will not make such a choice!" ”

After Yang Cheng analyzed, he looked at Melissa, "The most likely candidate is De La Red, this midfielder plays as a central defender, has always performed well, and can improve Spain's ability to control the ball, but the key to the problem is that if De La Reid is retreated, how to configure the midfield?" ”

Melissa listened to it like a fight, even a professional like her, when she heard those sets of tactical analysis related to the head coach, she felt that it was scary, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I don't know!" ”

Seeing her like this, Yang Cheng smiled, Melissa was insensitive to these things, but he was happy about them.

Perhaps, this is the so-called fate!
