The students of the University of Leipzig like to visit Moritz Castle, the largest student club in Europe, and even the German General Manager Merkel has participated in various activities here.

This was a fortification during the war. Later, it was given to the students of Leipzig University. It became a leisure place, with facilities such as beer hall, coffee shop, etc., and it can also hold concerts, exhibitions and other events, open-air movies and so on. It is even more common.

But sometimes there are too many people, it is also troublesome.

Yang Cheng and Grand? Nuck walked through the small road next to Moritz Castle and went all the way north into the University of Leipzig. Because they did n’t want to attract too many students ’attention, they did n’t go to Moritz Castle. I walked and chatted about the stories of Yang Cheng and Leipzig University along the way, and came to the small park behind the St. Thomas Church.

"Here it is!" Yang Cheng suggested with a smile, he thought it was quiet enough.

Glannack shrugged and expressed his unconditional obedience, so he immediately asked the photographer behind him to prepare immediately, and then he and Yang Cheng sat down on the wooden bench in the small park.

When the photographers were preparing, they could n’t help but give a thumbs up to the environment here. They were quiet enough to say nothing, the light was good, the scenery was also very nice, the surrounding trees were all shaded, and the kind of things under their feet The path paved with square stones cut very tightly, the atmosphere is really nothing to say.

After the staff were ready, Grannack made a gesture, indicating that it was about to start.

"I know you don't like polite words, and you are busy, so I went straight to the topic!" Grannack looked at Yang Cheng with a smile, facing the camera sideways, and said peacefully.

Yang Cheng looked at the camera and nodded. It seemed that there was no impatience.

"How do you think about the problem that you have led with the outside world in recent times? Are you worried about the team's influence from the outside world? For example, the morale of the players. Or, the effect of preparation?" Gran? Ke asked the first question, which is what most fans on the Internet are concerned about.

Yang Cheng smiled faintly, looking at the camera. "I think those comments are normal. Anyone, any organization, has the right to express their opinions. They have the right to say how they think of us. And I have the right to decide whether to accept their comments and opinions. I think this is A fair thing. "

"As for the preparations, I think I must clarify first that Saki huā Masumi has left the German national team, and I never felt that he has any say in the current national team ’s preparation system, so I will not His remarks give no rebuttal, because I will not waste precious time on people like him. "

"So far, all I can say is that it includes me and the coaching staff. Everyone is very satisfied with the preparations. Now the team's progress has been maintained well. We believe that we can recover before the European Cup. I am right This is very confident! "

Gran? Nack immediately took over and asked the second question "Speaking of the European Cup, the first match encountered Spain. Do you have confidence in this match? Have you decided how to play?"

This is a question that many fans care about, because everyone can see that Spain's strength is not just a talk. They have maintained a winning record from the qualifiers to the present, even the warming up of the morale of the game, the Bosque team Known as the number one hit in this European Cup. And this team has been in shape for many years.

After winning the European Cup from Aragones, Bosque took over Spain. In the early stage, he consciously wanted to lean towards Barcelona, ​​but in the first game of the World Cup, Spain lost to Switzerland and Bosque realized the problem. Too. After that, he began to use Real Madrid as the basis to absorb Barcelona players into Real Madrid's system, and then form the style of the Spanish national team.

This change made Spain in the next World Cup event, rushing all the way to the finals, and defeated the German team led by Yang Cheng to win the championship. Although many people believe that a large part of Spain ’s power comes from the power Yang Cheng, however, Yang Cheng always said that Bosque is Spain's biggest champion.

Relatively speaking, Yang Cheng took over the team after the World Cup in South Africa, and then adjusted and turbulent. The players in the team are also very mobile. They have never been able to build a stable defensive system. The biggest worry.

Spain is good at controlling, passing and attacking. If the German team's defense is not resolved, it is likely to encounter a blackout in the first game. Then the next two group matches are very dangerous because Portugal and France Neither team is weak.

"I will decide the final lineup before the game. For the time being, we are still adjusting and rehearsing."

However, Yang Cheng did not deny that "Spain is indeed very strong. We must face the gap. We must clearly see that Spain is far ahead of all teams in the current strength, so how to play in the face of Spain, this It's a problem that all teams will find embarrassing, including us. "

"Many people say that I am not familiar with leading the national team. I do n’t deny this, but I have communicated with many national team coaches. I know the difference between the two. I also know that the European Cup and the club are It ’s different, and my coaching staff and I have also re-adapted and adjusted this, but no one has seen these efforts! "

Glannack has a look of respect, because he can imagine how hard Yang Cheng and his coaching staff have been in less than two weeks after leaving Real Madrid.

"I was drawn into the death group by the lottery. I met Spain, Portugal and France teams. Do you have confidence in qualifying?"

"Of course, I have been telling my players that the best of the three group matches must be achieved. We all want to qualify in groups, and the three opponents of the three teams are all teams of different styles. Three different tactical plans have been drawn up specifically for them, and they have been targeted and arranged. "

When it comes to this, Grannack asked a new question, "A lot of people are asking, you have always advocated offensive football, you have always regarded the offensive as your football creed, then now, your Germany The team is obviously not as good as Spain, and there are many problems in the back line. Will you continue to stick to your football beliefs in the game? "

After Yang Cheng heard it, he could n’t help laughing. “I can only say. Our style of the game will not change. No matter how far we go in the end, we will stick to our own things, because I have always been very clear. Football is about professionalism. We must find our own position and give full play to our own characteristics. Be small and deep and strong. "

"But this may make you and your team encounter more difficulties and failures!" Gran? Nack reminded.

"I know, in fact, this is what I have been emphasizing all the time. It is too difficult to be a head coach now. Few coaches are insisting on their own things. I also admire Mourinho. Because they are already there, or are insisting on their own things. "

"I have always felt that people's ten fingers have lengths and shorts. No one is omnipotent, I am good at attacking, so my defense is relatively weak, Mourinho is good at defending, his offense and ball control are Relatively weak, there are Ferguson and Wenger, it is impossible to be perfect, so if a team finds Mourinho to coach, then it is impossible to force him to play a beautiful and **** control offensive football, this is common sense!"

"Now there are many coaches who usually choose to compromise. In many cases, they are nominally the team's director, but in fact, under the pressure of real results, they have to compromise with the star, so even if the star is in a bad state . They have to compromise with the management, even if they know they are not suitable, they insist on playing some unsuitable football styles. "

"I think this kind of problem is not just a problem for the environment and the club. As a coach, we also have problems ourselves, because we do n’t fight for the power we should have, we do n’t insist on what we think is right. In the end, we will Discovered, we might have won something, but we lost more. "

After Grank heard it, he shook his head and said: "You should understand that, Mr. Yang Cheng, you are a big name, you have enough prestige, and you can even let Real Madrid compromise with you, but the other head coaches are not. If they want to eat, they want to live and make money, so they have to compromise and survive. I have to say a few words for them. "

Yang Cheng nodded. "Yes, I admit this. In fact, we have discussed a lot of these head coaches on these issues, but we always believe that the more in this case, the more we must protect our own interests and In principle, because the final result of the compromise is not respect, but constant compromise and constant compromise with all parties. "

"I always believe in one sentence, to win the respect of others, you must first learn to respect yourself!"

Yang Cheng is talking about some of the problems in football today. For example, in the eyes of everyone, it is easiest to fire a head coach, because only one sentence can make a coach out of class, so there are often many head coaches. In the process of coaching, the coach kept making compromises and concessions, and finally led to his bad grades. Then he was fired from school and became the target of fan attacks. As everyone knows, this is not the team he wants.

"Another question, Dortmund's general manager Vatsk shelled you before, thinking that you deliberately ignored Dortmund's international, specializing in Bayern Munich's international.

Yang Cheng laughed. "Dortmund's internationals who have entered the 23-man list this time include Hummels, Schmelzer and Goetze. I think these three players are very good and have the strength to impact the main position, but I know them well. I ’m almost there, and I know very well why Wattske said that, at least he did n’t mention this issue in front of me. "

Dortmund has recently re-emerged, but their strength and reputation are still too short, which makes them have a strong desire to hope that their players can enter the national team and play the main role in the national team, thereby increasing the team ’s reputation. And influence, and then formed a strength that can compete with Bayern.

But Yang Cheng must definitely think more, because he is the team's head coach.

"Some fans have criticized one of your actions, that is, you plan to arrange the team to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland before the European Cup. For your move, the reaction of the fans is extremely extreme, many people feel completely No need, what kind of consideration did you make when you made this decision? "Grannack also didn't understand it.

But one interesting point is that Yang Cheng ’s decision to go to Auschwitz was disclosed. First, the Italian national team coach Prandelli also said that he will take the team to the Auschwitz concentration camp to worship at the right time. Then the English national team coach Hodgson also said that he will lead the team, and the Netherlands also said that he will go .

This matter has formed a wave. Many people are puzzled by Yang Cheng's approach, even questioning, thinking that it is unnecessary to play football, why do so many things?

"I remember that a German president once said, who closed his eyes to the past. Who is blind to the future!"

"Now it looks calm on the surface in European football, but in fact, racism and paranoia are popular, even in many national teams have such problems, which is very unfavorable for the unity of the team, and I think It is necessary for them to experience for themselves the consequences of these wrong ideas. "

"The national team is a symbol of a country. What is the problem with their trip to Auschwitz to worship the undead? On the contrary, I think this move is powerful to help eliminate some unnecessary prejudices within the national team!" Yang Cheng said very much serious.

There are many foreign immigrant players in the German national team, such as Ozil, Klose and others. They are all foreign immigrants. If there is no effective way to eliminate some internal instability factors and prejudices, how can this team form combat power and how to unite?

And the best way to eliminate these prejudices is not to say a lot of truth, but to let them see for themselves, in the past, because of the painful lessons and consequences caused by the same prejudices, let them eliminate themselves These prejudices.

"The German national team is very young today. They are in their early 20s, and their thinking and personality are still growing. I think that in the hearts of many fans, players are often over-raised, and they are always over-ideal. Think of it as such. A player should be perfect and mature, but in fact, how can he be mature before he is 20 years old? How can it be perfect? ​​He is just a child, a very ordinary young man! "

"I also very much expect the team to grow and take the whole team to the next level, but I also know very well that I just teach them football and let them learn to play, then in the end they will just play football, that is It ’s not enough, because a person who only knows how to play ca n’t get a foothold in this society, and the player ’s playing time is only 90 minutes a week. ”

"Football is the same as other industries and fields in the society. If you only know how to play football and don't know anything else, then you can't succeed at all, because you have to eat, have a girlfriend, and talk to teammates and coaches. To get along, learn how to deal with the media and fans, and understand what is right and what is wrong. "

"I know that this may make people feel hypocritical, or, it would be difficult to do this, but I have always wanted to do it by myself."

"It ’s a highly developed era of commercial football. Players have an annual salary of over one million. Some teenagers become famous and enjoy thousands of indulgences. This has led to the formation of an idea in the minds of many players as long as they can Continue to play well, then they can continue to enjoy all this, but I hope my players are not only excellent players, but also an excellent person who can contribute to this society! "

After Grannack listened, he could n’t help but nod again and again, “No wonder Merkel [General Manager] heard that when you are going to lead the team to Auschwitz, you will make a special phone call to express your support and praise. , But as your friend, I always feel that you always find yourself too much trouble! "

His words made Yang Cheng laugh. "No way, I'm getting older. When I was young, I didn't think about that much, but when I became the father of a child, when I looked at my child every day, Growing up, when I watched my players mature day by day, I really felt that I had a duty to do so. "

"Maybe some people will say that when you are a coach and others are also coaches, people will not be like you. Why should you ask for bitter taste?"

"I think it is precisely because no one is doing it, so I have to do it even more, because I hope I can call on more people to join me and pay attention to this issue, especially now."

Yang Cheng ’s worries are actually not unreasonable, because there are now many players who please fans with absurd eccentricities, and have won the attention and pursuit of many fans and professional media. This has become a trend, such as Manchester City ’s Ballot Profit.

Of course, Yang Cheng does not deny that Balotelli is extremely talented, but can he just ignore him and pursue him? Continue to increase the temperament of Balotelli's child. When he is thirty years old, he can't play football. What should I do? How does he stand and survive in society?

Those who play football are boundlessly beautiful. Are there too few examples of poverty after retirement?

Therefore, Yang Cheng has always said that he wants not only a good professional player, but also an excellent social talent, and there are indeed many players who are affected under his hands, such as Ronaldinho, the Portuguese are A great example.

This time, Yang Cheng was not prepared to make concessions. He not only wanted to worship at Auschwitz, but also invited three survivors of Auschwitz to make the three old men the German national team. Players, telling the story of their escape from the past, and giving them a vivid lesson.

He is convinced that this can effectively improve some unstable emotions and factors in the team. (To be continued)
