981 A new round of restructuring
After waking up slowly, Yang Cheng's first feeling was comfort.
Lying on a large, soft bed covered with a soft and comfortable quilt, the room was air conditioned and the curtains were tightly pulled, making the whole room cool. Sleeping on this bed made people feel so comfortable that they didn't want to get up.
He kept patting his forehead with a headache. He doubted whether he would become a Mediterranean if he continued to shoot like this, but this could not stop him from having a headache because he even forgot how much alcohol he drank last night, or how much beer he had been poured on his body.
This made him, who was not good at drinking, feel as if he smelled the smell when he thought of beer, which made him tremble all over, and there were some sequelae. Perhaps this would leave a deep shadow on him and make him refuse to drink again in the future.
After sitting up from the bed, Yang Cheng saw a glass of water on the table next to him, with dry mouth and dry tongue. He took it over and drank it all. He drank the cold boiled water and immediately became energetic. The headache caused by drunkenness was also reduced a lot.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized a bigger problem.
"Who steals my underwear?" Yang Cheng looked around. He didn't even remember which hotel he was in, but he was wearing a nightgown provided by the hotel, but there was no trace of his clothes last night.
This shocked him. If someone caught someone in the industry and took some nude photos, he would be really discredited.
Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen because he firmly believes that the staff of the German Football Association will not be so careless. The only possibility is that someone helped him change his clothes, but no matter who it was, Yang Cheng felt awkward.
Who would like to show off her naked butt?
After jumping off the bed, Yang Cheng rushed into the bathroom, but still didn't notice his clothes, and he felt strange in his heart. But after washing his face and brushing his teeth, he went back to the room to find a phone call.
He was even more at ease with his phone number, wallet and so on.
Just as he was about to call the phone, he heard the sound of the door opening in the outermost part of the suite and immediately walked out of the room.
"You're awake!" Charlize Theron smiled as soon as he saw him.
"Dad!" Charles shouted loudly.
Yang Cheng was relieved when he saw them. He was a little surprised, "When did you arrive?"
"Just yesterday afternoon, Paul called me and I came to the hotel directly!" Charlize Theron had a big belly, but he grabbed two pockets in his hand and stuffed them directly in front of Yang Cheng. "You don't know how drunk you were last night!"
"Is that true?" Yang Cheng smiled, "I have always been good at drinking, and I never do anything randomly after being drunk!"
"Yes, you don't do anything randomly. But you sing!" Charlize Theron glanced at him.
"Sing? What song?" Yang Cheng was stunned and asked with a bitter face.
"Dad, just sing the celebration songs sung by fans, but you sing it so badly, I sing it better than you!" Charles looked proud, as if he was proud of his ability to surpass his father.
Yang Cheng slapped his forehead hard, "Oh, my god!" Then he shook his head and walked back to the room.
For him who was not fully moist, singing was definitely a nightmare, so when he wrote songs for Avril, he didn't dare to sing to her in person. He had to deliberately record them in advance and then tape them for him. It is conceivable how he would cry and howl after singing when he was drunk.
"The image of a lifetime is corrupted!" Yang Cheng looked sad before entering the door. What kind of wine should he drink?
When Charlize Theron and his son saw him like this, they were so happy that they laughed louder in the living room, as if they could hit him. This unscrupulous mother and son were happier than anyone else.
It must be said that Charlize Theron has a good vision and taste. Her clothes do not pursue famous brands, nor complexity and fashion. She more often matches some ordinary clothes to combine her own taste and style.
This time, Charlize Theron went to Yang Cheng's store in Berlin and selected two sets of clothes for him, both of which she liked. She believed that she should be able to match Yang Cheng's taste and vision.
It’s true that the combination effect is really good after wearing it. Yang Cheng even turned around a few more times in front of the mirror and appreciated it.
While he was changing his clothes, the hotel waiter brought breakfast. Yang Cheng and the greedy cat Charles were feasting in the living room. He was so hungry that he was eating harshly when he ate, and the father and son didn't care about the image at all.
"Charles is going back to Los Angeles today!" Charlize Theron sat aside, and said this lightly with a virtuous wife watching her husband and son having a meal.
"Oh, what about you?" Yang Cheng asked.
"I definitely want to accompany him back, and this time I will wait in Los Angeles when I go back." Charlize Theron has become accustomed to this separation, because she and Yang Cheng have been together for so many years, and have been breaking up and getting back together like this.
Many players' families are not used to such distinctions, and many players' wives even choose to divorce because of separation. However, Charlize Theron thinks that separation is not necessarily bad, because there is a saying among Chinese people that a small separation is better than a newlywed. The key is how the two people maintain this relationship.
"I still have some things to be busy here!" Yang Cheng said.
Before he could explain, Charlize Theron nodded, "I know, you have to accept the reception from the German president, attend Iniesta's wedding, and also announce some changes in players and personnel at the right time, I understand."
The end of the European Cup represents the end of a small cycle, but the big cycle continues to rotate. After the end of the European Cup, Yang Cheng must start preparing for the next Federation Cup and World Cup, especially the World Cup, which is his key scene and his real battlefield.
Barack, Kyle and Deisler retired from the national team and had three places freed. This means that Yang Cheng must add three places for the national team in the next period of time, and then start preparing for the next game in September.
At the beginning, Yang Cheng decided to choose the more familiar ones, Lars Bend, Reus and Xuerle may become shortlists, especially the top two players, who are all young rookies that Yang Cheng is very optimistic about.
At present, the German team's defense has initially established a scale and combination. Ram, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, these four players will be the starting and defensive combinations of the German team. They have experienced the test of the European Cup, especially these two games with Italy and Spain, and the training value is very great.
Yang Cheng believes that after this European Cup, they will become more mature.
On the front line, Gomez has enough strength to compete for the main position. After Klose left Real Madrid and switched to Lazio, it is entirely possible that he will continue to control the position of the top leader of the front line. Thomas Muller, Ozil and others are also in a solid position, so what Yang Cheng has to do next is to further optimize the team's lineup system and choose the best and most reasonable lineup.
In this way, although it has become easier to coach the national team, in fact, Yang Cheng still has a lot of things to be busy with.
However, after a while of work, he can have a good holiday and rest, but at that time he should go to the United States to accompany Charlize Theron, ready to welcome his daughter's birth.
"Anyway, after I finish my work here, I will definitely rush to the United States as soon as possible!" Yang Cheng made a military order.
When Charlize Theron saw his serious look, he immediately smiled, "Don't I understand you yet? In short, you can do your business with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself, and I have Charles!"
"Yes. Dad, don't worry, I will be optimistic about Mommy!" Charles acted as if I was Ip Man. It seems that this kid is addicted to learning boxing. Now he is very stern and has a bit of an attitude.
After the family matters were settled, Yang Cheng accompanied them around Berlin at noon, and then sent them on the plane back to Los Angeles in the evening of the same day. On the next day, he led the team to receive the reception from the German president, who once again praised the group of international players and coaching staff, especially Yang Cheng.
In the past few days, the German media has also reported on relevant matters of the national team and won another trophy for 16 years. Especially when defeating old rivals like Spain and Italy, this undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of German football and made domestic fans in Germany feel a little excited.
But just when everyone felt that everything in German football would be getting better and better, the sorrow of saying goodbye spread unknowingly until five days after the team won the championship, when the celebrations were a little rest, the German Football Association held a press conference, and Yang Cheng and the players attended the press conference together.
…………
…………
"I am grateful to Barack, Kyle and Deisler for all their contributions to this team over the past two years. I think they are the most ethical players in the world and the best players. They are the heroes of the team's European Cup, and no one can erase this!"
At the Football Association press conference in Frankfurt, Yang Cheng sat on the rostrum, next to him, Barack, Kyle, Desler and others gathered on the spot. Countless reporters from all over the world were all invited by the German Football Association to attend the press conference.
"I remember!" Yang Cheng's voice seemed loud in the venue where there was only the sound of flashlights. Everyone listened attentively. "When I first saw them, they were all a group of lively teenagers. More than ten years have passed, the football environment has changed, and many things have changed, but the only thing that has not changed is their feelings for football, this feeling that touched me extremely."
"I'm sad and very reluctant, but I have to make a decision!"
Everyone can understand Yang Cheng’s difficulties. On the one hand, it is his favorite disciple, and on the other hand, it is the metabolism and stable performance of the national team. There must be a choice and decision between the two.
"But when I told them my embarrassment, they told me that they didn't want me to be embarrassed, nor the national team to be embarrassed, so they made a very brave and difficult choice, and I am proud of them!"
Yang Cheng's words received applause from everyone present. This applause was not only for him, but also for the three international players present who were preparing to retire from the national team. They were Optimus Prime in the past decade and during the downturn in German football, and were also the backbone of Yang Cheng's promotion back then, but now they have to say goodbye to the national team.
This scene has made countless people feel sad.
Barack's hug with Yang Cheng in the European Cup final was reprinted and reported by media around the world after the game. UEFA designated this scene as the most touching moment of this European Cup, believing that the hugs of the two represent the most sincere football relationship.
Yang Cheng personally led Barack into professional football, with 17 years of master-apprentice relationship. Now, he personally sent Barack out of professional football, which is already a very, very touching thing, not to mention the tearful scene they staged in the European Cup final.
"I had a decision to retire long ago. I had already decided to retire before the European Cup, but at that time, the boss found me and he told me, come to the national team to play in the European Cup, we need you!"
Barack told the media lightly that his decision was the whole story. "I was moved at that time because I couldn't even play in Kaiserslautern anymore, but the boss still decided to take me to the European Cup. The words he touched me the most were not what he said, I needed a championship. But a very simple sentence that he believed I could do it!"
"This sentence reminds me of the same thing he once said to me when I was in Chemnitz. I was 19 years old that year, I just debuted and hadn't played in the professional league yet. But he told me that he believed I could do it, and then I believed him, and then I went from Chemnitz to Kaiserslautern to Bayern Munich to Chelsea..."
When Barack said this, his voice was a little choked because he had played football for a lifetime, and now he wanted him to leave the football field, his heart was always empty.
"I still remember that when Bremer was about to retire, all of us were reluctant to leave, but the boss said that this was normal and he had to be accepted, because his departure would allow a young player to have the opportunity to make a name for himself. This was an inevitable choice for football metabolism."
"So, I choose to leave now because I know that German football is in a difficult stage of transformation, and we have emerged a group of outstanding talented rookies. We must give them the opportunity to go to the national team and go to the stage of the World Series to prove our strength, just like Thomas Muller, Gotze, just like we were back then."
"I also always believe that German football always depends on the whole and will be able to perform better and better under the leadership of the head coach. I have absolutely reason to believe that German football is ushering in its best and best peak period!"
"Even if I retired, my heart will still be with German football. I will definitely go to the stands for every game, silently cheering for the heroes of German football!"
Barack's words received a burst of applause from the scene because the German captain will officially leave the professional football and national team after the press conference. That is, from now on, you will never see Barack again in the official match.
Relatively speaking, Kyle and Deisler just left the national team, and both players also unanimously stated that leaving the national team was their own decision, and the way the head coach and the Football Association handled them was very satisfied, and they also hope that their departure could allow this young German team to inject fresher and more active blood.
"From this European Cup, I can see that the young people who are currently active in the Bundesliga are not inferior to us at all. All they lack and need is an opportunity. Now, I hope to use my departure and give them a chance. I also firmly believe that there will be better players coming and entering this national team!"
Whether it is Kyle, Desler, or Barack, they all praised Yang Cheng's achievements in coaching the national team, believing that the head coach was the team's number one hero to win the European Cup, so they all firmly believe that under the leadership of Yang Cheng, this German team will surely achieve breakthrough results again.
To a certain extent, the retirement of the three veteran players made many German fans feel disappointed and regretful, but they also knew that this was an inevitable choice for football, because only when they left can more and more young people of appropriate age enter the national team and prepare for the World Cup.
The media and fans gave positive answers to Yang Cheng's decision and approach, believing that he would decisively choose to reorganize after the competition, which is a very rational and mature choice, and can minimize the impact of the departure of the three veterans.
The departure of Barack and the other three also made everyone look forward to Yang Cheng's new national team members, especially after winning the European Cup, everyone's requirements for Yang Cheng and the new national team will only become higher and higher.
After attending the player's retirement press conference, Yang Cheng accepted an exclusive interview with Photo News and the Kickers Magazine, and then negotiated related matters with Nielsbach, and then began to enter his own holiday, but the first thing he had to do was to go to Spain to attend Iniesta's wedding.
This enemy, known as Spain's number one enemy who lost the European Cup, arrived in Spain, immediately caused a commotion throughout Spain. Real Madrid fans firmly defended their former head coach and fought and competed with some fans who hated Yang Cheng, which attracted the attention of media around the world and became a major highlight of Yang Cheng's participation in Iniesta's wedding.
After attending Iniesta's wedding, Yang Cheng flew directly to Los Angeles to prepare to welcome his daughter's birth. (To be continued)
