When there are competitions, time always flies, especially in this kind of tournament format.

Before you know it, three days have passed, and the smoke of the semi-finals has begun to ignite.

Two semi-finals, one in Sao Paulo, the other in Belo Horizonte, if Yang Cheng had to choose, of course he would choose Sao Paulo, but unfortunately, the host is Brazil, so this match between Brazil and England will be played at the Molumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo.

started playing at the door of his base camp, of course, Yang Cheng would not let himself miss it, so he specially brought the coaching staff to the Molumbi Stadium to watch this matchup up up close, and he attached the most importance to the Brazilian team.

Scolari's team is very versatile, able to press up and attack, but also able to shrink back to defend, is the type that can attack and defend well, and it is indeed a strong team, perhaps on some levels, there is still a certain gap with Spain and Germany, but the strength of this team is absolutely not in doubt.

Moreover, this is Brazil, and no one can doubt the determination of the Brazilians to keep the Hercules Cup in Brazil.

Brazil attacked, England defended, this was what everyone expected before the game, the process of the game was also difficult, England's defense was well organized, and it was able to reach the final four, Hodgson's team relied on iron defense, and Brazil's attack was indeed not ideally organized.

To some extent, the current Brazilian team lacks those top superstars in attack, although there is a Kaka, but after all, he is not young, Neymar and Robinho have always had high hopes, but they have never shown the potential and strength of top players, resulting in Brazil's offensive ability is not strong.

The stalemate between the two teams. As a result, this game is not good-looking. It can even be said to be a bit dull, but it's no wonder that they all made it to the semi-finals. Who wants to play offensive football?

In the end, the Brazilian team broke the deadlock on the field with a sharp pass from Kaka in the 67th minute. With this goal, Brazil beat England 1-0 at home.

Although there is no problem with this goal, I believe that after the game, the English will definitely give a certain degree of criticism to the referee's law enforcement standards in this game, but this should also be expected, after all, this is Brazil, as the host, they do have the right to be taken care of by the referee.

"Scolari is really Scolari, more tightly than last year. More oppressive! Benitez said with admiration that the combination of Scolari and Pereira has indeed brought earth-shaking changes to the Brazilian team.

This year's Brazilian team is indeed far inferior in attacking talent. At least previously they had 3R. There are Kaka, there are Adriano and others. But now they only have one Neymar, who has yet to prove himself in Europe, one Hulk, who plays in Europe's non-mainstream leagues, and in addition, the former superstar Kaka.

Such an attacking lineup looks at these Brazilian teams in the past, which is indeed a bit of a shabby, and it can also reflect that there are indeed some problems with the talent training system of Brazilian football, or it can be said that there is a fault, of course, with Brazil's youth training ability, it will definitely make up for this soon, but this World Cup is definitely too late.

"Give him what kind of cards he can play, at least Scolari can lead this Brazil team to the final and prove that he is successful, there is no doubt about that!" Yang Cheng's impression of Scolari is not bad.

A group of people walked out of the fan tunnel and out of the stadium, but they didn't want to be outside and bumped into Bosque and Tony, who also came to inspect their opponents? Grande, the two groups of people saw each other, and suddenly they all smiled for no reason and walked towards each other.

"Ha, Vicente, have you come to inspect England?" After Yang Cheng greeted him, he spoke before he got closer, which undoubtedly means that the German team will win the next semi-final.

"No, no, no, let's look at the next opponent, Brazil!" Bosque said with a smile.

"You're mistaken, the team going to the third or fourth place final is England!" Yang Cheng looked like I was thinking about you, and reminded Bosque seriously, as if he couldn't step on Spain in the third or fourth place finals.

Seeing him like this, Bosque and Tony? Grande wasn't going to bother with him either, and after a few words, the group simply found a place to sit down and have a good talk.

are all old friends, Yang Cheng has coached Real Madrid for so many years, and Bosque and their group of coaching staff from Real Madrid have a lot of relationship, they often go to the Bernabeu to watch the game are still Yang Cheng paid the box fee, which shows how iron the relationship between each other is, but in the World Cup, they have never gotten together, this is the first time they have met.

What I didn't expect was that after meeting, they would become endless rivals.

"Have you figured out how to play the third or fourth place finals?" Tony? As soon as Grande sat down, he asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng laughed, "Let me tell you, you Spain play England, you must pull out their central defenders, this is the biggest drawback of England, the Brazilian team did not take advantage of this, that's why they played so hard!" ”

After all that, this guy still doesn't give Bosque and Tony? Grande opened his mouth and preemptively said: "I told you only because of our old friend for many years, be careful of Rooney, this kid is a cow, but rushing can definitely kill you!" ”

Tony? Grande and Bosque glanced at each other helplessly, and both shook their heads, they were just a sentence, but this guy said so much in one breath, typical of the unforgiving Yang Cheng style.

The smell of gunpowder obviously did not affect the interest of everyone in chatting together, and they began to discuss some issues of this World Cup, such as the sinking of South America, Yang Cheng felt that this was not a bad thing, but the Europeanization of South America, or more precisely, a stage of adjustment of globalization.

"I believe that after this World Cup, the tactical concept of South America will be further globalized, and some well-adjusted teams will emerge soon, and European teams may not be able to stop the rise of South American teams!"

For Yang Cheng's judgment, Bosque also agreed. But because he didn't play as many South American teams as Yang Cheng. So he was not so impressed, but he also agreed with Yang Cheng's judgment.

"That's right, I heard. After this World Cup, are you retiring? Bosque heard a piece of news that had been spreading recently, and looked at Yang Cheng with concern. After all, the two of them have been friends for many years.

Yang Cheng knows that this is the news that broke out in the media recently, saying that Yang Cheng will leave the German national team after the World Cup and officially retire, but the actual situation is that he has an agreement with the German Football Association that if he wins the World Cup, he will retire, if he can't get it. He'll stay in charge until he wins the World Cup.

It's just that this agreement has been caught by many media, which is also a depressing thing.

"What? I'm retiring. Are you happy? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Bosque smiled. "If it's true...... It's a bit of a shame indeed, after all, you're still so young! ”

"If I do retire. That's just no longer coaching, but I still can't do without football! Yang Cheng said.

Bosque was amused when he heard it, "Really? Could it be that what those fans on the Internet said is true, you really plan to buy a football club and become your own owner? He burst out laughing.

"Are you ready to get your next job ahead of time?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Bosque was speechless, he could only shake his head and laugh, this bastard did not leave the psychological warfare.

"No, I plan to concentrate on running my football school, and I hope to help my motherland, help football teenagers in Africa and more poor areas, so that they can become talents!" Yang Cheng answered the question seriously.

For Yang Cheng's football school, Bosque has heard of it, before he and Real Madrid jointly founded a football school in Africa, and then he has his own football school in China, it is said that in China alone, his football school has expanded to as many as 20, and many young talents are cultivated for China every year.

One of the most famous is undoubtedly the talented striker Gao Ren, who is currently attracting the world's attention at Ajax, 16 years old, but has already been given the opportunity to come off the bench at Ajax, very fast, and outstanding in all aspects of the game, this talented striker has almost broken all the past goal records of the Ajax youth team, and countless celebrities are very optimistic about him.

Although the youngster has attracted the attention and competition of many giant teams, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, Yang Cheng personally stepped in to prevent Gao Ren from switching to his team and continuing to study at Ajax.

In addition to Gao Ren, there are a number of other supernovas, all from Yang Cheng's youth school, and according to the agreement between Yang Cheng and Ajax, Ajax only needs to pay a not high training fee when he gets this player, but once Ajax sells the player, Yang Cheng's football school can get a 10% share of it.

Take Gao Ren's current value as an example, Yang Cheng's football school can get at least 800,000 euros, if you stay a little longer according to the current momentum, it is worth more than 10 million anytime and anywhere, and with this money, the football school can reinvest and cultivate more rookies.

This is what Yang Cheng said, he has found a long-term business direction for the football school, and there are also some sponsorship and other aspects of the business, which can ensure the long-term operation of the football school.

And the most important thing is that the football school is independent, whether it is the Football Association or the club, it cannot interfere with and affect the operation of the football school, after all, this is Yang Cheng's own industry, and Yang Cheng is famous in the current country, and no one dares to move lightly.

"If you really decide, if I step down from the Spanish national team, I'll go to your side to hang a position!" Bosque also thinks that such a thing makes sense, and his old friend Camacho is coaching the national team in China, and Yang Cheng's relationship is also willing to do something.

"Free?" Yang Cheng asked with a look of indifference.

Bosque was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "Free is free, what a miser!" ”

A group of people laughed when they heard this.

With Yang Cheng's status and influence today, if you look at the advisory group of his football school, you can see that many of the world's famous coaches are among them, and every coach training course held in China. All of them are taught by the world's top coaches.

Domestic clubs are rich. Yang Cheng has a relationship, so he invited those world-famous coaches to China to teach, and then charged the head coaches of these clubs. By supplementing football schools and other things through these expenses, it should be considered as something meaningful for domestic football clubs!

Coincidentally, Yang Cheng met Bosque at the Molumbi Stadium. The Germans arrived in Belo Horizonte at about the same time as Spain, but neither team chose to make a highlight, but instead boarded a bus on the tarmac to avoid the commotion of the reporters and go straight from the airport to the hotel.

Brazil has already reached the final in advance, and it is undoubtedly the focus of all fans and media that Germany and Spain will be able to enter Rio de Janeiro, but no one dares to say who will win.

Indeed, in the last two editions of the tournament. Germany won both of their games against Spain, but both games were very dangerous, especially in last year's Confederations Cup final. If it weren't for Ramos' injury. Bosque's side are not likely to lose, and Spain are injury-free in this game. The personnel were very neat to face the German team.

However, some media believe that although Spain has a full staff, the problem is that the personnel is also aging.

Xavi is 34 years old, Iniesta is also 30 years old, Casillas is 33 years old, Villa is also 33 years old, and Xavi? Alonso is also 33 years old, plus 30-year-old Torres and 31-year-old Arbeloa, the Spanish team that once swept the Europa League has many players now entering the twilight of their careers.

Relatively speaking, the staffing of the German team is the best, the oldest in the team is Klose, 36 years old, but the captain Lahm is 30 years old, Schweinsteiger is 29 years old, Gomez is 28 years old, plus Thomas, who is in his playing years? Muller, Mesut Ozil, Toney? Klose and others, the German team can be said to have a very ideal combination of old, middle and young.

Relatively speaking, the German team is undoubtedly in its prime, but Spain is beginning to enter the adjustment stage, but Bosque wants to reorganize after playing this World Cup, and promote new Real Madrid factions such as Parejo and Canales into the national team and become fresh blood, so both teams can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

At the pre-match press conference, when Yang Cheng was interviewed by the media, he said without doubt, "The team that enters Rio de Janeiro will definitely be our German team, because I know this Spain team very well, I know where their flaws and problems are, and I know better than anyone how to beat them!" ”

At the press conference, Bosque also said with great confidence, "We will definitely be able to show up at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, maybe in the last two years, we have lost to Germany in the most crucial two major tournaments, but that doesn't mean that we are inferior to each other, we just didn't do a good enough job in some details." ”

"I have found an effective way to restrain the German team's attack, and I firmly believe that we will be able to suppress the German team in the game, and then firmly control the initiative in our hands!"

Bosque's comments were a complete reflection of his confidence in this match, and no one could tell if he was true or not, but there was one interesting thing about it being that he continued to play 4330 without a striker in this game.

Goalkeeper Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique and Alba at the back, De La Red, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta in midfield, Pedro, Juan Mata and David in front. Silva.

It's a different combination, because in the past, Bosque always arranged for Xavi? Alonso plays in midfield, but slightly further down, but now he is relying on the younger Sergio Busquets, and with Andres Iniesta pulling in the middle and Pedro playing on the left, it is a surprising option indeed.

For the time being, no one can guess what is going on in Bosque's mind.

The starting lineup of the German team is still their own 4231 tactic, the goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer, and the backline is Lahm, Bad Stuber, Hummel and Jérôme? Boateng, the double midfielder is Schweinsteiger and Sven? Bender, attacking the vanguard is Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Podolski, with Gomez up front.

This lineup is also the strongest lineup of the German team, and Yang Cheng has no surprise that he has chosen the formation and tactics he is most sure of to meet Spain, and both teams intend to use their best ways to restrain their opponents.

It is difficult for anyone who has watched this squad to guess who will be more sure to win this game, because both teams are the giants of today's football and the top favorites to win the championship, but because of the schedule, they were scheduled to meet in the semi-finals in advance.

Therefore, there are also media who call this match an early championship battle, and whoever makes it to the final will be the top favorite to win the championship.

Of course, if the two teams fight too hard with each other, they may also be picked up by the Brazilian team who are waiting for a big bargain.

But there is no doubt that the semi-final at Belo Horizonte has been in the spotlight and after a dull match between Brazil and England, everyone is hoping that Germany and Spain, the two best teams in the world, will put on a beautiful football feast that will delight the eyes.
