It's been 17 years!

It's been 17 years!

Yang Cheng will never forget that on that day 17 years ago, he traveled to the current world and became the coach of Chemnitz's second team. He was only 23 years old at that time, and was in his youth.

17 years have passed, and now he is a 40-year-old middle-aged man. His children are already 9 years old. He is no longer the energetic young man back then. Now he is a mature and introverted middle-aged man, and he is no longer the unknown arrogant boy back then. Now he is the famous world's number one coach.

It took him 17 years to fulfill a dream that lasts forever!

Time flies like this. Everything 17 years ago seemed to have happened yesterday, as if it was separated by a layer of paper, but it was a completely different life. This made Yang Cheng feel sigh and sad.

Because he is leaving!

He devoted the most precious and golden 17 years of his life to the football he loved the most. He has been persevering for 17 years and has always been pursuing his goals and dreams. He can even say that he grew old in pursuit of his dreams with the company of football.

In the past 17 years, he has paid a lot and gained a lot. He has never carefully calculated whether it is worth it or not, because what he loves in his heart cannot be calculated, and that kind of satisfaction cannot be measured by numbers. The only thing he can say is that he is very satisfied.

He can really be said to be free from his favorite professional football with satisfaction!

But this does not mean that he will completely leave football, because he still has a dream. He hopes that one day, he can lead a national team to the stage of the World Cup and get this coveted Hercules Cup.

Only by fulfilling this wish can he be willing to end his coaching career.

The stands at the Allianz Stadium are very lively. There are many people coming, including the players from the Chemnitz era, such as Louis Hutter, Thomas, Dominic Wagner, Tosen Gujo, etc.; there are players from the Kaiserslautern era, Larson, Deco, Peron, Barack, Flins and others, all of them are here.

There are also the players from Inter Milan, Nedved, Lucio, Ronaldo, Van Nie, Zanetti, Emerson, Van Bomel, Pirlo, Nesta... and Liverpool players are also here, Ribery, Robben, Gerard, Drogba, Carrick, Essin, Vidic, Carragher...

Yang Cheng had sent an invitation to every former disciple before. This was not something he wanted to show off. It was his sincere hope that in his last professional game, he would be present, even if some of them no longer play football, he still hoped to see them.

Sometimes, Yang Cheng's feeling is very strange. He feels that this is a bit like those old people who are about to die. He hopes that their descendants can be by his side and let him take a look so that he can leave with peace of mind.

Yang Cheng is undoubtedly not an old man about to die, but he feels that his current mentality is a bit close to that.

Even he felt inexplicable, so he did that.

The whistle at the end of the game became very heavy in Yang Cheng's ears.

Because this whistle not only ends this game, but also ends Yang Cheng's career.

He was originally thinking about what to do at the end? Should I thank the players? Should I thank the fans? Should I say hello to my old friends or do something else?

But in the end, he did nothing, just sitting in the home team coach's seat, silently, expressionless, and looking indifferent, looking at the stadium, the players, and the deafening sounds and movements of the fans.

Time seemed to have condensed, as if at this moment, he felt an unprecedented relaxation, as if a heavy burden that had been pressed on his shoulders for 17 years was removed, and his whole body became much more relaxed.

Yes, he still has a burden in his heart because he still pursues it, but at this moment, his whole state of mind has completely changed, and what he sees, hears, and thinks are also different.

He couldn't explain this feeling in words, but it really changed!

He has no regrets about the professional league. He has won all the honors, from the Winners Cup to the League Cup to the European Champions League, from the Bundesliga to Serie A to the Premier League to La Liga, and he has won all the honors. He really has no regrets!

But he also knew very well that his journey in football was just an end to a level, crossing a hurdle, and only halfway through it, and he had to move towards his next goal.

…………

When Yang Cheng took this medal from Olsen, representing the UEFA Champions League champion, he and Olsen hugged tightly, then turned to Beckenbauer beside Olsen, and another tight hug.

During the whole process, Olson and Beckenbauer patted Yang Cheng's shoulder hard, but said nothing, as if at this moment, everything they said was a very disgusting thing, so they all chose to remain silent and fight against audio with silence.

Caesar! Caesar!! Caesar!!!

All the fans shouted Yang Cheng's name in unison. This game belonged to Yang Cheng, but this was the last game of his career and the last game he left professional football.

In the stands of Real Madrid fans, the huge mosaic puzzle of Yang Cheng's portrait was still preserved, and his huge personal logo was also preserved, not destroyed, because all the fans always wore that hat. Even now, when the game has been over for a long time, they still haven't taken it off.

For them, this game is very different. It is a game that they do not want to end on time. Even in the minds of many people, they hope that this game can continue to play. Play forever. They hope that this game will never end, because only in this way can Yang Cheng stay forever.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel!

After receiving the medal, Yang Cheng walked off the podium and did not continue to stay on the stage because it belonged to the players. Next, everyone would pay attention to the players who won the cup, and he just needed to watch silently off the stage, which was enough.

Casillas won the San Bolade Cup, which is the fourth time Real Madrid has won this championship trophy in the past four years. This also allows Real Madrid to engrave the name of the third team in this brand new trophy, which means that as long as Real Madrid wins twice, they can once again keep the San Bolade Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium forever.

But all this has nothing to do with Yang Cheng, because this is the goal that Raul has to work hard for next.

I held the medal tightly in my hand and stood there straight. I believe countless people would be disappointed by it. Because there was no sadness of parting here, nor any tears from anyone.

From beginning to end, Yang Cheng was very calm and rational, which was completely different from when he bid farewell to Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium. This was obviously not because the fans of Allianz Stadium did not support him. It was because he was too restrained.

I walked back slowly, walked to the home team coach's seat, walked to the front of my seat, bent down and sat in, put my back on the backrest behind me. I could no longer tell what it was and what it was.

He finally had to leave, and he had been working for 17 years!

"Has he woke up?"

In a daze, Yang Cheng seemed to hear someone asking.

"No, I'm sleeping very well, I probably have to sleep a little longer!" Hearing the sound, Charlize Theron said this sentence.

"After leaving the Allianz Stadium last night, I fell asleep as soon as I came back. Now it's past 9 o'clock and haven't gotten up yet. I'm too lazy, right?" It sounds like Sienna Miller, who sounds very envious and jealous.

"He was originally nervous, but now he has removed a big burden and feels much more relaxed. He naturally feels much sweeter when he sleeps. If he is right, he shouldn't have been talking in his sleep last night, right?" This should be Natalie's voice.

Then I heard Charlize Theron answer with a giggle, and then I started to start the topic, as if Yang Cheng was sleeping and talking in his sleep had become a very interesting topic for them. Even the clinical psychologist with no experience conducted psychological analysis on sleep, making Yang Cheng seem like a white mouse in their laboratory.

There is a saying that is right: you think about something on the day and dream about something on the night.

The most terrifying time I heard that Yang Cheng was talking all night and was recorded by Melissa Terrio and showed it to Yang Cheng the next day. It was a good thing. Yang Cheng performed better when he was sleeping than when he was not sleeping, and prepared more fully, and any details were taken into consideration.

Listening to the voices of Yingying Yanyan outside, Yang Cheng, who was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, smiled slightly. He didn't know how to describe his current feeling and mood, a very strange mental state.

I was reluctant to let it go, that was already last night. When I woke up this morning, he didn't feel reluctant at all, because he knew very well that everything had become a foregone conclusion. For him, last night's game, Real Madrid, and even the past, were already over.

It's really fatal to say. In the past two years, he has been running between the German national team and Real Madrid. Now he has been a little more relaxed, and his whole body seems to have changed, and his thinking has become much more active.

"You're awake!" Charlize Theron opened the door and came in. Seeing Yang Cheng half lying on the bed in a daze, he walked over with a smile.

"They just left and went to have a meal!" she said.

Not to mention eating, Yang Cheng doesn't feel hungry.

The beauty is wearing a loose maternity outfit. Not to mention that she is beautiful, has a good figure, looks good in everything she wears. Even with a big belly, she has a unique charm, especially the maternal brilliance emitted on her face.

"We are going to stay in Europe!" Charlize Theron was packing his things because they were about to leave Mandarin Oriental Hotel soon, and Yang Cheng was going to lead the team back to Madrid. After that, all his responsibilities at Real Madrid were completely over.

Strictly speaking, his contract with Real Madrid can be said to be over since last night's game, and he will serve as technical director at Real Madrid after that. He has a false title and a good salary, but he no longer needs to participate in Real Madrid's affairs.

Next. For him, the real test is in the European Cup of the German national team!

"Prepare to watch the European Cup?" Yang Cheng got out of bed. He didn't mind exposing himself in front of Charlize Theron and walked directly into the shower room. The beauty had tidied up her clean clothes for him and sent them outside the shower room.

"We're ready to cheer you on, so you have to prepare a ticket for us!"

"Wow, wouldn't the reporters in the European Cup be so busy?" Yang Cheng said in surprise.

Charlize Theron knew what he meant, and giggled and glanced at him, "Who cares about those paparazzi?"

In fact, they only care about Yang Cheng. But they don’t care about his achievements, but about him.

A person's condition is very strange, with ups and downs, and there are troughs. Yang Cheng himself has a feeling that although he has performed well in coaching Real Madrid in the past two seasons, he always feels not happy enough. It seems that something is blocking himself and blocking him from performing. He is very depressed.

This made him feel full of anger in his heart, as if he was looking for an opportunity to explode.

He has been coaching for so many years. He is very clear that his state is coming, and it only takes one opportunity to make this state explode in a comprehensive and unscrupulous manner.

Don't think that only players are in good condition, but in fact, the head coach also has it.

When your state comes, your mind turns very flexible. When you are in a bad state, you will always lose all your mistakes and make frequent mistakes.

Yang Cheng knew in his mind that in the last two years of coaching Real Madrid, he also made mistakes, but he only covered up with Real Madrid's own strong strength. If he was in good condition, these mistakes could be avoided.

"I'll let them deliver it then!" Yang Cheng agreed inside.

"Do you want me to accompany you to the training camp?" Charlize Theron asked with concern again.

Yang Cheng really wanted it, but he still let it go, "No, Tigne is very cold, don't go, take good care of your health."

"I'm not that kind of weak woman, but since you say no, I won't go. I'll go around and travel for a while. I plan to stay in Lake Steinberg for a while."

Yang Cheng has a house there, and Charlize Theron has not lived there yet. He heard that the environment and climate there are great, so she wanted to go there for a while. When the European Cup begins, she will go directly to Ukraine and Poland.

"Let your mother come to accompany you?" Yang Cheng said.

Charlize Theron smiled, "No need, I have a company!"

"Who?" Yang Chengqi became famous, and then saw her proud posture and deliberately added, "Male or female?"

"There are both men and women!" She nodded with a smile.

"So proud, but it's easy. Just be big and be careful, don't be too outrageous!" Yang Cheng said.

With the intelligence of the South African goddess, I couldn't hear the subtext in this bad-hearted guy's words. I deliberately ignored him. Anyway, I just didn't tell him who it was and let him guess. Anyway, he couldn't guess who it was even if he beat him to death.

…………

Yang Cheng likes to have a beginning and an end in his work, so he leads the team to the Allianz Stadium to participate in the Champions League final. After the game, he leads the team from Munich to Madrid.

Outside the Madrid Airport, countless Real Madrid fans gathered here to wait for the team to arrive. Although they already knew that Yang Cheng's departure was inevitable, they still hoped to make their final efforts. However, many fans also put up slogans to wish Yang Cheng, hoping that he could create new glory in the German national team.

As before, the team boarded the Wupeng bus and held a city-wide parade in downtown Madrid to celebrate their championship, but Yang Cheng once again missed the team's city-wide parade celebration. He went directly to the Bernabeu Stadium to meet Florentino, Piri and Butragno, and Raul was also involved in this meeting.

During this meeting, Yang Cheng expressed his gratitude to Florentino and other management, and also said that he had completed his historical mission in Real Madrid and it was time to hand over Real Madrid to his own people. He firmly believed that Raul would be able to complete the mission of continuing to lead Real Madrid well.

Florentino expressed regret for Yang Cheng's decision, but he also wished Yang Cheng a bright future in the German national team. At the same time, he also said that the door of the Bernabeu will always be open for Yang Cheng.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed opportunities for further cooperation. After all, although Yang Cheng’s portrait rights are in their own hands, Real Madrid also has agency rights, so the cooperation between the two parties will not end with Yang Cheng’s departure. On the contrary, Florentino expressed his hope to further deepen the cooperation.

After the farewell party at the Bernabeu, Yang Cheng returned to his home in Rafenka and packed up his things.

After the team's main striker Klose, the German national team's main striker, packed up his things as soon as possible and met Yang Cheng at the airport in Madrid.

For them, Real Madrid's glory has become a thing of the past, and everything about Real Madrid can be temporarily pressed, because the biggest test for them next comes from the European Cup, which is the new challenge they face next, especially when they think about the first match of the European Cup, they will face Spain with Real Madrid as the main team, and no one can relax.

It is also for this reason, so it is not only Yang Cheng and Klose, but also Bayern internationals who just lost the Champions League, they will also go to the training camp in Tigne, France today to participate in the training camp of the national team and prepare for the upcoming European Cup.
