1011 The Way Ahead!

"Charles!"

Yang Cheng gently patted his son's little face and shook his body gently, this little ghost who had not slept at all when he was asleep and didn't know where he kicked it was under the quilt seemed to be still immersed in sleep.

"Jan, it's time to get up!" He called softly to Jan, who was sleeping next to him.

"Hurry up, it's time!" Yang Cheng shook a little guy with one hand, and with a little force, he woke up the two little ghosts.

As soon as Charles opened his eyes, the first thing he did was a big yawn, "Dad, it's still so dark outside, why are you getting up so early?" The little creature said that he was going to lie down again.

"That's it, that's it, Dad, what time is it, get some more sleep!" Jan couldn't help but lie down.

Yang Cheng grabbed a person's clothes with one hand, "Anyway, I'm going out, if you don't go, then stay in the hotel and wait, I'm leaving!" With that, he let go of his hand and made a gesture to walk out of the room.

Charles and Young then remembered that they had agreed last night and what they were going to do early this morning, and immediately jumped out of bed and shouted loudly that they would follow.

After finally washing their faces and brushing their teeth, the father and son walked out of the hotel on Wangfujing Street.

In Yang Cheng's heart, he has always had a wish, that is, to go to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to see the raising of the national flag.

He believes that this should be the desire in the hearts of every Chinese, but for so many years, he has been busy, has never had time, every time he returns to China is in a hurry, so he has not been able to wait for the opportunity, finally this time with his two sons to return to visit their parents, he took the opportunity to educate them patriotically, lest they become little foreign devils.

Although they all grew up in foreign countries. But he got Chinese nationality. And they all have their own Chinese names, entered their Yang family genealogy, and they also learn Chinese on weekdays. Able to speak fluent Mandarin so that he can communicate with Yang Cheng's parents.

The night was still dark, even though it was summer. But it's still a little chilly.

Yang Cheng had already asked Ye Wen and learned some information from him, so he set off from the hotel at half past two early, and when he arrived at the entrance of the East Museum, he found that there was already a long queue in front of them.

"Dad, so early, so many people are waiting to see the national flag raised?" Charles, this kid, likes to be lively, active, and excited when he sees a lot of people. Laughing and lining up in front, he turned to Yang Cheng and said.

This is also the first time for Yang Cheng to come to see the national flag raising, but he never thought that there would be so many people. But it's right to think about it. There are so many people across the country, and more than 1,000 people come every day to watch the national flag raised. It's not really a big deal.

After they lined up, it didn't take long to find that there were more and more people behind them, and the line was getting longer and longer.

"Hey, this ...... But Mr. Yang Chengyang? A middle-aged man in line in the front row glanced back at the excited two boys, and when he got closer, he saw Yang Cheng and was taken aback, you know, this is a famous celebrity in the world.

As soon as this man shouted, people around him immediately heard it.

In the past few years, the name Yang Cheng has been spread at home and abroad, newspaper news appears all day long, and when domestic football is not good, almost all fans and people who follow football across the country take him as an idol.

There is no need to say more about his past resume, just ten days ago, he led the German team to win the Confederations Cup in Brazil, and the whole world praised him, especially at home, almost the whole country fans cheered for him and celebrated for him.

After Yang Cheng was recognized, he was a little embarrassed, he could do anything, he just didn't like to be looked at like this, or praised in person, especially in his own motherland in the face of his compatriots, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, I'm your fan, sign it for me!" A young man next to him didn't look prepared, he pointed directly to the T-shirt on his body, handed out a pen that he didn't know where to find, and motioned for Yang Cheng to sign on it.

Someone took the lead, and immediately there were people around who followed suit, and they all came up to ask for autographs and group photos.

There was still some time, Yang Cheng met their requirements one by one, and this quickly alarmed the armed police who maintained order at the scene.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, do you need us to arrange it for you?" An armed police officer who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and asked with concern, you know, this Yang Cheng is a person who asked to meet, and has been claimed by countless people as a flag of China abroad.

"No, no, really not!" Yang Cheng politely declined.

The police officer was not reluctant, but called on the people in front and behind to pay more attention to order, and then let go of the security check on time at 4 o'clock and organize people to enter the square in an orderly manner.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, come here, it's a good location!"

"Yes, Caesar, here, you have two children, convenient in front!"

"Come to us, quick, I'll keep it for you!"

Seeing such a warm invitation, Yang Cheng was a little flattered and polite to them, and chose a nearby place.

"Dad, they're so nice to you!" Yang said with a smile, looking proud.

This kid is also stained with his father's light and has been praised a lot, and children like to be praised.

"That's because I always remember that I am a Chinese, and I hope you will always remember this too!" Yang Cheng pulled his two sons left and right, and he was also relieved in his heart.

Over the years, although he has little to do with domestic football, he has been promoting youth training behind the scenes, and his football schools have opened from one to two, and now there are 8 across the country, and it is expected to open to 20 in 5 years, and all of them are operated independently, without being affected by domestic clubs and football associations.

Because of this, Yang Cheng's football school has sent 15 outstanding player embryos to the European League, which is only what has been sent, and there are many outstanding player embryos in China that are very favored by European scouts.

After receiving the most basic technical training in China and laying a solid foundation. It is then sent to Europe for improvement. Let them be tested and honed in the most competitive European leagues, and if they can do it, then they have a chance to establish themselves in the European leagues. Even laying a foundation in the top flight.

It's like the striker Gao Ren who was sent to Ajax by Yang Cheng, and he performed very well in Ajax's youth team, scoring a flood of goals. It has already caught the attention of the Dutch league and some youth clubs in Europe, which is undoubtedly a very good start.

Yang Cheng always believes that Chinese talents are abundant, football talent will certainly not be lacking, the key is to give them the opportunity to emerge, so he is working hard to lower the threshold of football training, organizing some free coach training courses every year, so that all interested people can receive formal coach training.

Because he knew that only the number and ability of the coaches were guaranteed. Youth training can be improved.

This is not only in football youth training, but in other fields, Yang Cheng donates a lot of money every year to the Caesar Foundation and his parents' foundation. Make a profit by making an investment. Every year, a large amount of money is set aside for charity to help some people in need in China. For example, students who cannot afford to go to school, poor people who cannot afford to be sick, and so on.

There were once some people who suspected that Yang Cheng was generous abroad, but stingy at home, and hoped to attack Yang Cheng to gain his fame, but when Ye Wen and other persons in charge of helping Yang Cheng plan charity announced Yang Cheng's annual donation, everyone was surprised, because Yang Cheng donated more than 10 million funds every year, and he even donated 9 figures when encountering some major events.

Some people do charity to make a name, some people do charity, purely to give back to the society, Yang Cheng has always insisted that he belongs to the latter, so he will never take the initiative to ask for every donation to be engraved with his name, the key is to be able to help people, which is the most important thing for him.

And all along, he has always believed very much in the truth that his parents have taught him since he was a child, people are doing, and the sky is watching.

There is a saying: If you don't forget, there will be an echo, and today, in front of this sacred Tiananmen Square, he heard the echo.

It also made him more convinced that what he was doing was not in vain and that it was meaningful, so he was more sure of the path he was going to take next.

In the majestic national anthem music, the bright red five-star red flag slowly rose to the top of the flagpole, fluttering in the wind, and under the national flag, Yang Cheng finally saw clearly once again the road he was going to take.

He has fulfilled all his wishes and goals, and when he wins another World Cup, he will retire, but as his good friends said, he will be inseparable from football all his life, and he will dedicate all the rest of his life to football, especially football in his homeland and charity in his homeland.

People don't bring it in life, they don't take it in death, and their children are not short of money, so he can do what he wants to do with confidence!

After watching the national flag raising at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Yang Cheng met with Ye Wen and a group of old friends, he expressed his thoughts, and also received a positive reply from them, and Ye Wen also said that he was willing to help Yang Cheng implement this plan.

Now Ye Wen has left Capital TV to help Yang Cheng deal with charitable foundations and football schools, and this time Yang Cheng decided to spend 1 billion euros in the next few years to promote his youth training program across the country and build football schools, which requires him to sell some of his shares in American companies.

This is definitely a huge amount of money, but Yang Cheng is not ready to hand over this amount of money to others, he wants to do it himself, and he has built so many football schools in the past few years, has established his prestige, accumulated enough experience, at least, he and his entire team have found a way and model to make the football school sustainable operation.

Throwing money at one time, the effect is only temporary, but only lasting persistence can achieve long-term results and achieve the purpose of revitalizing Chinese football that Yang Cheng wants, and he believes that this is also the wish of all Chinese fans, because Chinese football does not belong to the Football Association, nor does it belong to anyone, but to all fans.

So he believes that the next step is to start making a big move.

…………

I stayed in China for more than half a month, and I didn't end my vacation until the beginning of August. Returned to Europe.

Germany won the Confederations Cup. It caused huge repercussions around the world, including Reuters, the Associated Press, the New York Daily News, and even Time Magazine later. They all paid attention to the fact that Yang Cheng led the team to win the cup.

But in the era of rapid development of informatization, news hotspots always come and go quickly.

A week after the end of the Confederations Cup. The hype around Germany's trophy has faded and has been replaced by a buzzing transfer market in Europe, as well as pre-season training and preparation for the summer.

The German Football Association received Yang Cheng's advice and specially arranged a warm-up match in August, against the Czech team.

But unlike what the Bundesliga clubs were worried about before, this time Yang Cheng did not recruit more main stars of the Bundesliga team, but more of some marginal internationals, as well as some German players of the new generation, including many young players on the front line. For example, Samed in Bayer Leverkusen? Jehir, Dukesch in Dortmund.

With the announcement of this list, everyone speculated about Yang Cheng's intentions. Unanimous. He called in this group of rookies at this time, obviously to prepare for the reform and adjustment of the front line.

The current German forward line seems to have a lot of talent. For example, the old and strong Klose, Bayern striker Gomez, and others like Kacau, Kurangi, Kiessling, Helmers and others, either their skills and tactics are incompatible with the national team, or their strength and state are not stable enough to meet the requirements of the national team.

Gomez, for example, has been a great striker in the past, but it is unclear whether he will be able to regain his place this season after losing his place at Bayern Munich last season, and Yang Cheng has not been happy with his performance during the European Championships, as he has played one of the least minutes in the squad.

If Gomez continues to be unable to play the main role in the club this season, then Yang Cheng naturally has no reason to call him into the national team again, and then there will only be an old and strong Klose left on the front line of the national team, which is definitely not good.

In this case, it is not difficult to guess that Yang Cheng chose to investigate more young rookies.

In the list of international players full of rookies called by Yang Cheng, many players have never established themselves in the club, or played games, and some of them are not even prominent.

For example, a youngster from Schalke 04 who will turn 18 years old, Donis? Afdigaki, born on August 25, 1996, debuted at Schalke 04, but has always played in the youth team and has not played in the first team so far, and is a new batch of young rookies after Yehir.

Midfielder, midfielder, winger, shadow striker, striker...... Afdijaki can play all positions in the midfield, his left and right feet are very good, and he is very efficient, he once scored 13 goals and 6 assists in 7 games in the youth team, leading the youth team of Schalke 04 to sweep all opponents, just this efficiency, is enough to make him into the eyes of the thirsty Yang Cheng.

Of course, it is easier for the youth team to score goals than the senior team, so the number of goals is not an important factor that impresses Yang Cheng to call him into the national team, the real reason is that Yang Cheng admires the type of player who has an excellent technical foundation, good shooting skills, and high ball quotient, because he feels that such a rookie has a future.

The technical foundation must be solid, because generally after the age of 16, it is impossible for the technique to make great progress, so at the age of 16, observing a player's technical foundation, you can know what path he will take next.

I still remember that when a scout pushed Higuain to Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng thought that Higuain was not suitable for Real Madrid, because his skills were not fine enough, and then he suggested Higuain to take the off-ball route, and now Higuain has become famous in the European League, and he does rely on a kick and a sense of running without the ball, but in other aspects, Higuain has done poorly.

Therefore, Yang Cheng must have a solid technical foundation when selecting players, and then it depends on his ball quotient.

The ball quotient mentioned here includes many aspects, such as the ability to read the game, such as the sense of teamwork, such as the personality of the players, etc., for some young and well-known rookies who get carried away, Yang Cheng is absolutely not eye-catching, because he feels that such a newcomer may be able to dominate for a while by relying on talent, but he will never reach the top, unless he changes his personality.

But there is a good saying, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

As the head coach of a national team, Yang Cheng doesn't plan to regard himself as someone else's life mentor, his responsibility is to lead the German team to play well and win trophies, and other things have nothing to do with him.

For Yang Cheng to recruit so many rookies in one go, the German media generally paid attention to it, especially for some unknown young players, they even dug into the ground to introduce the achievements of this group of rookies, wanting fans to know more about the origin of the international players of the national team in this period.

Judging from the news fed back by German fans, they all have expectations for this batch of international players, hoping that Yang Cheng can find the rookie he wants and is optimistic about from this group of young players, and bring him into the national team.

Yang Cheng also announced that he will take the list of 23+7 for each of the next national team training lists, of which 23 are official training lists, and the extra 7 people will follow the national team for training and have the opportunity to play in the warm-up matches.

This can be regarded as a way for Yang Cheng to cultivate young players, because he hopes to have more opportunities to help this group of young players grow up and take over the banner of the German forward line as soon as possible.
