"Jurgen, many people say that you are the pioneer of the tactical reform of the German national team. Löw is a step further after you. You are in line with each other. So, I believe that all fans hope to listen. In your mind, what is the difference between Yang Cheng's German national team and the national team in your mind?

This was when the German team tied the US team 3:3 at home. German reporters specifically interviewed the head coach of the US national team and former head coach of the German national team Jurgen Klinsmann. Today, the Golden Bomber lives in the United States for many years and is ridiculed by many fans as an American.

Perhaps because he saw that Klinsman was hesitant and was thinking about something, the reporter quickly asked another question, "Or, we can see this way, you led the US team to draw the German team that is determined to win the European Cup and the World Cup 3:3 away. Can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of this team?"

Klinsmann had a very American politician smile, "I think the draw in this game can actually be seen as an attempt by Yang Cheng to a certain extent. I really think he was making some new attempts in this game, a new idea!"

"Can you tell me specifically?" the reporter asked.

"Before the game, I told my players to pay attention to the pressure the ball was exposed to after entering the German team's halftime, because the German team's shortcomings are very obvious, the players on the back line are very high, the front-line defense ability is excellent, but the turn is slow and the speed of pursuit is slow. This has caused him not to move the defense line and the key pressure zone forward in the past."

"But in this game, I found a very special place, that is, the German team's defense line began to try to push up, and I can understand this approach. Because as Germany's fame and strength improve, more and more opponents will definitely take some conservative attitude when facing the German team."

"When the opponent takes a contraction defense and begins to fight back consciously and purposefully, the German team's problems are exposed very clearly. That is, they must press on, and Yang Cheng must provide new solutions to solve the risk problem after the team is pressing on."

After hearing this, the reporter couldn't help but affirm it, "According to what you said, Yang Cheng certainly did not solve this series of problems. Does this mean that you are not optimistic about the future and prospects of the German team in the European Cup?"

After hearing this, Klinsman couldn't help laughing and shook his head, "Don't say that!"

Yang Cheng once supported Klinsman's re-election for a time, which made Klinsman very grateful to him. Moreover, Klinsman himself admitted that his coaching style, especially in the way of scientific training, was directly affected by Yang Cheng, so he chose to go to the United States to study.

Klinsman has always highly praised Yang Cheng's tactics and his person, so he will not be fooled by reporters.

"I think Germany's current situation is very embarrassing. You say he is strong. He is indeed very strong. He can play some good-looking and nice victory when facing some opponents, especially under Yang Cheng's coach, the offense is trained very sharply, but if you say he is weak, he is indeed very weak."

"In today's German football, it's really difficult to find a convincing central defender. Kyle has no problem with his ability, but his body is a big hidden danger. Therefore, Yang Cheng has no good choice in the choice of central defender. Badstuber, Mertesak and Hummels, undoubtedly, these three players are good candidates, but their shortcomings are very similar and have no complementarity. Even the same is true for Jerome Boateng, who he tried."

"I discovered this problem in the game, so we narrowed our defense and fought back, and the result was one by one. I believe Yang Cheng himself was very clear about the problem, but for the time being, he did not have a very effective solution, because he had no player to choose from."

When the reporter heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Yang Cheng's good friend Gran Nak once joked that if Yang Cheng was given a Thiago Silva, the German team would become the number one hottest candidate in the European Cup."

But Klinsman shook his head hard, "No, you don't need Thiago Silva, give him a Kompany, the German team will be very good. The latter's performance in Belgium is really eye-catching. Yang Cheng has cultivated an outstanding central defender!"

"Many reporters say that this is a chaotic game. What do you think personally?" the reporter asked again.

Klinsman fucked the iconic politician smile again, "Of course it will be more chaotic, but I think Yang Cheng should gain something from this game. He will see some problems that reporters, even we can't see."

"So, are you still full of confidence in Yang Cheng?" the reporter asked again.

Klinsman nodded, "Yes, no doubt, I am his fan and a die-hard supporter, and I firmly believe that he is still bringing some more positive changes to the German national team, and he has the hope of success in this national team."

"Tell me specifically!" the reporter encouraged.

Klinsman nodded, "So, when I first accepted the German team, Lov and I knew very well that if we wanted to change the old German team in the past, we had to inject something new, so we attach great importance to offense and defense conversion speed, because we all knew that to achieve good results, we would play defensive counterattacks."

"Didn't you just ask, is there any difference between the German team led by Yang Cheng and me, and the German team during the Loew period? I think the biggest difference is that he doesn't need to use a stopwatch to calculate the team's pass and catch and counterattack time like me and Loew, and use it to judge whether the team's offense has improved. He doesn't need to do this."

"I said that since I took over the German team, I think the best thing Germany has done is the quick counterattack after intercepting the ball. Many people say that Lov and I, especially Lov, played offensive football, are actually not exactly. Because the German team during the Lov era also positioned itself in the mentality of a weak person."

"I think a very important reason why Lou failed is that he lacks the awareness of a strong man, and even I am not enough, but Yang Cheng has a strong sense of a strong man. He was born to be synonymous with victory, and he brought out invincible teams that scattered Europa and scattered the world. He was born to be a strong man, and his purpose was to conquer and defeat his opponents."

"So even if the German team under Lov scores a lot of goals, in fact, if you pay attention to analyzing deeper things, you will find that in fact, the attack methods of Lov's team are more of a fast counterattack, and Lov's team hardly take the initiative to adopt oppressive tactics."

"But Yang Cheng is different. He asked the players to work hard as soon as he came, saying that he would win the World Cup in 2014 and position himself as a strong man and be above the top. Other opponents are not as good as him, which means that his positioning for the German team is more about taking the initiative to defeat the opponent and saying goodbye to the weak mentality of the past."

"Suppose that the German team could win big in the past, that is to actively show weakness, make the opponent have an illusion, take the initiative to attack, and then cause loopholes. The German team will seize the loopholes and fight back, but if the opponent is too strong, or the loopholes are not exposed, or even the German team does not grasp the loopholes, then the German team's offense will become useless."

"In the 2008 European Cup final, the German team had almost no power to fight back. In fact, it was because Spain was too strong and because of the German team's mentality, it led to its all-round passivity from the beginning, and was completely suppressed by Spain with amazing control, which was a bit similar to the game in which Real Madrid suppressed Chelsea in the Champions League final last season, a classic work!"

From Klinsman's tone, it is not difficult to hear his appreciation and admiration for Yang Cheng.

"But Yang Cheng is not going to follow the route between me and Lof. He positioned the team and himself as the strong, took the initiative to oppress the attack, actively invested in the offense, and played the football I wanted to play, no matter whether the opponent had loopholes or not, I would play the football I wanted to play. If you have loopholes, I would grab your loopholes. If you don't have loopholes, I would try my best to create loopholes for you, and then grab your loopholes!"

"Maybe on the surface, the German team's tactics seem to be no different, but in fact, this fundamental reform is equivalent to completely rebuilding a German team. The facts have proved that with Yang Cheng's joining, more and more opponents will take a relatively weak attitude to face Germany, so Yang Cheng's tactical style is very worthy of recognition."

The reporter smiled secretly in his heart. After all, he was the head football coach. When introducing his field he was best at, he talked a little and couldn't stop it. From Klinsman's words, he could hear that the Golden Bomber gave Yang Cheng's current coaching highly, but he still had some concerns in his words.

"Do you think the German team will have a chance in next year's European Cup?" The reporter asked the last question.

Klinsmann thought for a while and nodded, "There must be opportunities, but I think the hottest is Spain and the German team won the championship, which is a surprise. But one thing I want to say is that even if the German team did not win the championship in this European Cup, Yang Cheng should not be criticized, because this is not his problem at all, but the team itself."

"This is a bit like defending Yang Cheng!" the reporter smiled.

Klinsman shook his head, "I still hope to see the German team upset!"

…………

…………

Klinsmann's exclusive interview allowed German fans and even fans around the world to re-recognize Yang Cheng's team. It seems that it has not made much progress, but it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Many international players have come out to say that the national team is completely different from the past, but there are still many people who refuse to believe it. But now the effect is unbelievable from the words of Klinsmann, the person involved.

After playing warm-up with the US team, Yang Cheng led the team to the Netherlands and played a warm-up match with the Netherlands. As a result, the German team defeated the Dutch 3:0 and won a wonderful victory.

In this game, Yang Cheng did not completely deny the changes and adjustments made in the previous warm-up match, but in the midfield, Yang Cheng lined up a combination of Tony Klos, Sven Bend and Schweinsteiger, plus Tony Klos and Ozil, which made the German team's midfield control very strong.

What is particularly commendable is that in this game, Yang Cheng let Thomas Muller and Ozil play two wings, and Tony Klos play the front midfielder, but the position is relatively retracted, Schweinsteiger and Sven Bend form a double midfielder. This makes the German team's midfield run very smoothly.

This Bayern Munich's creative combination is very tacit, especially Tony Klos and Schweinsteiger. The two cooperated very skillfully in the midfield. It is estimated that this is what they have accumulated on weekdays, at least Yang Cheng heard about it. Whether at Bayern or in the German national team, Schweinsteiger and Tony Klois form a partner to play poker, it can be said that they are invincible. No one can win them, which shows how high the tacit understanding is.

On the back line, the combination of Ram, Badstuber, Mertsacker and Jerome Boateng also showed a steady side, but this also has a lot to do with the Dutch team's starting striker Hunteral. The Dutch forward is the more traditional center, which is more in line with the taste of the German team.

To really test the stability of the German team's defense line, it is actually necessary to meet forwards like Robben, Villa, Aguero, Ronaldo and Messi. However, the Netherlands did not compete with Robben and Van Persie in this game, and Van der Fate was also hidden. So it can only be said that it is a Dutch second team, which is not very convincing.

However, Klose's successive goals still made people see the steady side of the German striker, and everyone agreed. In the European Cup, as long as it is not injured or sick, Klose is still Yang Cheng's first choice.

After the two rounds of play-offs, the last four teams of promotion were also released, with the total score of Ronaldo and defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina with a total score of 6:2 and successfully entered the European Cup finals.

Hiddink's Turkey first lost 0:3 to Croatia at home, and then tied 0:0 with Croatia away. In the end, there was no hope of reaching the finals, and Hiddink was also dismissed by the Turkish Football Association.

Ireland eliminated Estonia with a total score of 5:1 in two rounds, while the Czech Republic defeated Montenegro 3:0, and both teams entered the finals.

After the playoffs, UEFA immediately held a draw ceremony in Kiev.

As the head coach of the German team, Yang Cheng appeared at the Ukrainian Palace accompanied by Nielsbach and participated in the lottery ceremony. Caesar's arrival also excited Ukrainian fans. Thousands of fans gathered outside the Ukrainian Palace, waiting for Yang Cheng's arrival. When they saw their idols, they were in an uproar. The scene made countless head coaches present envious and jealous.

Although the German team has outstanding record in the past, it is not as good as the Netherlands in points. The latter, along with the two hosts of Spain, Poland and Ukraine, became the first team to draw the lottery, while the German team is the second team with Italy, England and Russia, Croatia, Greece, Portugal and Sweden, and Denmark, France, Czech Republic and Ireland are the fourth team.

It was Yang Cheng's first time participating in the European Cup draw ceremony. When he saw the above roster, he felt surprised, because he always felt that if he draws the lottery according to such points and draws a team from each roster to form a group, it would be easy to divide a group of death.

Of course, in fact, almost every team in the top 16 of the European Cup is a strong team, which makes no matter how the lottery draws, there will always be some strong dialogues, so Yang Cheng is not surprised at all, but if the opponent is too strong, it will definitely affect his plan.

At least, he must make sure that the team will be in shape as soon as possible in the early stages of the cup, otherwise, no matter how good the physical fitness is, it will be useless.

Sadly, Yang Cheng is obviously not favored by the goddess of fate this time. As the second-level team, the chance of the German team meeting Poland and Ukraine is similar to the chance of the Netherlands and Spain, but the unlucky German team meeting the Spanish team. Isn’t this equivalent to sending the German team to the crater?

The strongest team in the third level is undoubtedly Portugal, and the European Cup organizing committee does not seem to be afraid of the death group at all. They drew Portugal to the B group where the German team is, which undoubtedly caused an uproar in the audience, especially when the fourth level team was drawn out, everyone wanted to shout, and this draw was really dead enough.

Spain, Germany, Portugal and France, this group of four teams is truly dead to the extreme, because the strength of the four teams is very outstanding, and the team with the fourth level of points is France. But you should know that France defeated many teams including Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and other teams in the qualifiers, and the strength of the team that advanced as the first in the group should not be underestimated.

Besides, to be honest, Spain is the number one hottest, and Germany is the number two hottest, which is tantamount to the early start of the final. Portugal and France are also popular teams in the European Cup. Now they are all together, which is undoubtedly a huge tragedy, and there may even be a possibility of dying together.

"The French team has always been very difficult to deal with, and they are very strong, and they are now full of desire for honor. Such a team is enough to make any team feel a headache. As for Portugal, they are also very strong, let alone Spain!"

After the lottery ceremony, Yang Cheng was interviewed by a reporter and confessed that this draw did create huge problems for the German team, but he also expressed his strong self-confidence.

"But for me, this draw is a very ideal result, because I have been worried before, worried that my team will not be able to meet Spain, I want to get the shame of the World Cup final in South Africa, and I want to take revenge, so I am very grateful for my luck, he let us encounter Spain in advance."

"And this time, I will not let Spain laugh to the end. We hope the best result is to qualify from the group by stepping on the Spanish corpse. That is simply wonderful for me!" Yang Cheng made a joke prediction.

But will things really be as he expected?
Chapter completed!
