The Alps, covering northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany and Slovenia, are the most famous mountain range in southern Europe, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, especially the highest area in Mont Blanc, with an altitude of 4,810 meters.

Tigne, a famous ski town at the foot of the Alps, has an altitude of more than 3,600 meters. It is an ideal skiing destination. The busiest season is usually from December to April, and it is now in the off-season.

Yang Cheng and Klose flew from Madrid to Geneva Airport, and then took a high-speed train to Bourge St. Morris in France. When they arrived, Bierhof arranged for the driver to pick them up at the train station in Bourge St. Morris.

Taking advantage of this Audi, you can drive quickly on this not-so-wide road surrounded by mountains, but on the winding road, Yang Cheng can deeply feel the spectacle and danger of the Alps through the car windows.

The higher the altitude, the greater the altitude sickness in the body, which is what Yang Cheng is more worried about.

"How is the training camp in the past few days?" Yang Cheng asked the driver sitting in the front row.

The driver drove the car without looking back, "It's not bad!" He was not very clear about the specific details.

"Is anyone altitude sickness?" Yang Cheng asked again.

"I haven't heard of it!" the driver replied.

At this moment, he could finally feel relieved. He closed his eyes and had a good rest. After all, he had been riding a car for several hours and was a bit fake if he could not be tired.

Klose sat next to Yang Cheng, always tilting his head and looking outside. The snowy and unattainable appearance of the Alps in the distance makes people feel ashamed of this spectacular scenery of nature. He deeply feels how small and insignificant people are.

"What's wrong?" Yang Cheng noticed Klose's melancholy appearance and asked with concern.

"Nothing!" Klose smiled slightly, but a little reluctant.

Yang Cheng is no one else. Klose's every move cannot be hidden from him. He quickly realized Klose's worries. If the German striker really has troubles, it must be his positioning problem in Real Madrid.

After joining Real Madrid, Yang Cheng always positioned Klose as the third striker and the team's changer. Klose has always performed very well. He can show his strength as soon as he comes on the court. But now that Raul has come up, he obviously wants to promote the young players of the second team, such as Morata.

The player Morata is enough to be ranked among the Little Five Eagles, which is enough to make people see his talent and strength. The most important thing is that he is the kind of high center that Real Madrid is scarce. His performance in the second team is very outstanding and eye-catching, and his performance in the low-age national team is also very appreciated, so it is natural for Raul to promote him up.

But once Morata comes up, Klose's position will become even more embarrassing.

For the time being, neither Raul nor Real Madrid have given any comments to Klose. He has never said he wanted to sell people, but Klose himself can also realize the problem, that is, once Raul comes up, his position in Real Madrid will continue to decline.

"Does any team want you?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Kloze was stunned, but smiled immediately. He knew that these things must not be hidden from Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng had his own set of news channels, and he would definitely be able to vaguely guess something. What's more, he didn't think about hiding it and nodded. "Yes, Serie A Lazio hopes that I can play in their place."

"Lazio?" Yang Cheng was a little surprised. Since leaving Serie A, the name has become a little unfamiliar to him, because his mind is limited and his energy is limited, so it is impossible to pay attention to everything.

"They just completed the change of coach this season. The old coach Rea is leaving. The new coach Petkovic will officially take charge of Lazio. He hopes that I can transfer to Lazio and strengthen the team's forward attack power." Klose seemed a little moved when he heard the tone.

He is about to be 34 years old. Although he has received so many honors in Real Madrid, he is not very satisfied with it because he is still preparing to participate in the World Cup, so he must get more opportunities and time to ensure his condition. These are something that Real Madrid cannot give him, but Lazio can.

"Does Raul know?" Yang Cheng asked.

Klose shook his head, "I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm going to wait until the European Cup is over and have a good talk with him."

"Well, if you need anything, tell me!" Yang Cheng smiled, "No matter what, I support your decision, and I believe that you still have the chance to appear on the 2014 list."

After hearing this, Klose couldn't help but laugh, "Is this a guarantee?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "Of course not counting, I just said there was a chance!"

By the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Klose was already 36 years old. Whether he could maintain a good competitive state at that time was something that no one could guarantee. However, Yang Cheng was also very clear that on the front line, the German team actually did not have too many talents.

Thomas Muller is an excellent and calm scorer, but he is not the kind of person who can stand in front. Even at Bayern, Pellegrini uses him back and inserts him. He needs a player to pull the defensive player away from him in front.

Gomez is very capable, but his technical characteristics are really different from the current German team.

This player is tall and strong, but he is not the kind of forward who stands in a stand-up style. He is very fast and has great power in counterattacks. He can grab points and capture opportunities. He has a very good sense of shooting. But the problem is that his stop and dribble are really a bit sorry for his current identity and status.

At Bayern, in order to exert Gomez's strength, Pellegrini is more likely to tear open the opponent's defense line through two sides, pull the defensive attention, and then send the ball into the penalty area. Gomez needs space to get the ball, and he cannot do the move of Ibrahimovic to get rid of the ball in a narrow space, so he can only try his best to create space for him so that he can get the ball and kick the ball comfortably.

However, in the German national team, in order to take care of Gomez alone, the whole team made such arrangements around him. Yang Cheng felt that it was not worth it because he also had a Klose.

From the perspective of physical fitness, Klose was completely defeated by Gomez, but from the perspective of consciousness and technical aspects, Klose was completely defeated by Gomez. In Yang Cheng's technical and tactical system, consciousness is always first.

Of course, Yang Cheng absolutely did not mean to belittle Gomez. This striker is very outstanding, but he is not suitable for the current German national team.

Putting aside Klose and Gomez, the current German national team is indeed in short supply of talents on the front line, which is an indisputable fact. Even Yang Cheng himself is thinking about how to solve this problem.

"It's here!" the driver shouted in front.

Yang Cheng, who had a brief squinting for a while, opened his eyes immediately and sat upright from his seat. He saw a lake in the distance. There was a modern town with many tall buildings and built around the lake. Behind the town are snow-capped snow-capped mountains. Below you can see woods and bald stones, but on the top of the mountain, it was full of a white world.

"What a beautiful place!" Yang Cheng couldn't help but praise, "We have to thank France. They guarded Clay Fontaine to train and gave us this good place!"

Audi quickly escaped the lake and entered the town, but as soon as he entered the town, he turned into a hotel built next to the lake.

The Rekron Duval Clare Hotel is a wooden building hotel with a unique style and a unique flavor. The gates and columns are mined directly. They are made of unprocessed stones, which look rough and beautiful. But they give people a very strong feeling.

As soon as the car stopped, Yang Cheng got out of the car and saw a cold air coming towards him, which made people want to tremble, but it was very comfortable and he was full of energy and his original sleepiness was wiped out.

Yang Cheng took a few deep breaths of cold air, which was very clean and was free of the impurities in the city.

"Are you ready for winter clothes to keep warm?" Paul Baier walked out of the hotel with a smile. Beside him, Benitez, Tim Hank and others also followed. They saw Yang Cheng's car arrive upstairs and walked down.

"I'm ready, but I don't know if it's enough!" Yang Cheng walked up with a smile and hugged the group of assistants.

"Come on, I'll take you to your room first. The best double room in this hotel has been kept for you. Now it seems like a waste!" Tim Hank said jokingly.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Then don't waste it, find me a companion tonight!"

"Really?" Chris Schmidt asked with a smile, as if he really had a way out.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Really, but I have high requirements!"

"That's helpless. You can't blame me for the most beautiful woman in the world. Who can still catch your eyes?" Chris shook his head helplessly, and his words were not completely without the sour and jealous smell.

A group of people jokingly walked into the hotel, and Paul Bayer introduced the hotel's facilities along the way.

Although this hotel is a wooden building, he has everything he should have, such as sauna, tennis court, gym, golf course, spa center, hot swimming pool, library, indoor swimming pool, etc. This is the best hotel in Tigne, and the facilities are naturally very complete.

"Have everyone else arrived?" Yang Cheng asked while climbing the stairs.

"Everything is here!" Paul Bayer replied.

"Then how are your training in the past few days?"

Paul Bayer nodded, "Don't worry, everything is going well."

Chris Schmidt, who was standing by, also added: "We have already conducted a series of physical tests on all the training players, except Klose, and we will start to prepare to enter the final physical reserve stage."

Yang Cheng didn't say anything. When he went upstairs, he saw Schweiingsteiger and the Bayern players who arrived at the hotel this morning. Although Yang Cheng's team just killed Bayern at the Allianz Stadium last night, they became master-apprentice relationships when they met again today. Schweiingsteiger still politely greeted Yang Cheng.

"I'll take a shower and change my clothes first. After dinner in the evening, we will have a meeting and talk slowly!" After saying that, Yang Cheng walked into his room, turned around and sent off the assistants, and locked the door again.

Although it is a wooden house, the rooms look elegant and comfortable. No wonder they can be rated as a four-star hotel, and it is also the best hotel in Tigne, because it attracts the most ski enthusiasts in the world.

From Yang Cheng's room, you can see the back of the hotel. The one that is known as the most beautiful ski resort in the world, with cable cars that can directly lead to higher ski areas, and that area will become the key area for the German national team to train next.

Before Yang Cheng arrived, this German team was always just conducting low-level intensity training, but starting tomorrow, they will welcome a round of hell-style training, so that each of them can appear on the European Cup with abundant physical fitness and a good mental outlook.

…………

The team's dinner in Tigne is a buffet situation.

Because the hotel is not large in size, it is all included in the German national team. Therefore, all the people living here are the families of national team players and the families of coaching staff. There are no outsiders at all, so everyone gathers in the hotel lobby for dinner.

After Yang Cheng walked into the lobby, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, because for the families of many people present, Yang Cheng was more of a celebrity who had only heard of the name but might not have seen it with his own eyes. Or he had looked at it so closely, so many of them were even excited to see their idols.

In this case, the atmosphere on the scene can be imagined.

Yang Cheng looked around and found that they were all here. So he said nothing, and walked over slowly under the gaze of everyone in the audience, took some food, and then found a relatively remote corner to sit down.

Gradually, everyone began to get used to Yang Cheng's existence, and the atmosphere gradually rebounded.

"How do you feel when you leave professional football?" Benitez, the fat man, was holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He sat opposite Yang Cheng. He looked very concerned, but in fact he looked gossipy.

Yang Cheng let go of the food in his hand, raised his head, looked at the fat man, and smiled slightly, "There is nothing different, it's just a different environment and a different way. Do you think the national team and professional club are very different?"

Benitez didn't say anything, he looked calm, "The national team is even more cruel!"

Yang Cheng was stunned. Yes, the national team was even more cruel.

Take the European Cup for example. If you lose one in three groups in the group stage, it is the end of the world, especially in a group of death like Germany. You must win the opponent with all your strength. If you don’t do it, you must ensure that you cannot lose. If you lose, it will be really bad, and you can almost say that you have qualified in a slim way.

After finally crossing the group stage and entering the knockout stage, it was a game of victory or defeat.

This kind of knockout match that determines life and death can be said to be the finals of each game, and you must give your all. Moreover, the luck and accidental components of this game are very important, which is a fatal test for any team or any head coach.

So, Benitez is right. If the club's league, or even two-round cup matches, can give the head coach a chance to make mistakes and make up for it, then the national team's tournament system game will almost not give you any chance to make up for it. You must defeat your opponent within 90 minutes, or be defeated by your opponent!

This is a very cruel competition system, but it is precisely because of the cruelty that it is more challenging and exciting.

Especially for people like Yang Cheng who are full of adventure genes, they are even more keen to accept such challenges.

"It's better to be cruel, but it's interesting if it's cruel!" Yang Cheng began to lower his head to eat again, but suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

Benitez smiled and said, "I'm just a worker. I'm an assistant for you. If I win, I won, I have nothing to do with me. If I lose, I have nothing to do with me. What am I afraid of?" He looked like he had nothing to do with him and was hanging up.

Yang Cheng knew his partner, and he knew that Benitez was not such a person, so he just smiled and said nothing.

After eating, the family members left. Everyone from the team went to a conference room in the hotel to gather. This conference room was temporarily transformed into a locker room by the team. As soon as everyone came in, they sat down on wooden chairs that were close to the surrounding walls. They could vaguely see their things being under the chair.

"I believe everyone should know very clearly the meaning of being here!" Yang Cheng's opening remark seemed very serious.

"I also believe that everyone should know very well. What will be waiting for you next will be the hardest training and schedule."

"We were lucky enough to draw the Death Group in the group stage. We encountered Spain, Portugal and France. Relatively speaking, we don't have much advantage with them. Even facing Spain, we are at a comprehensive disadvantage, but this does not mean we have no chance to defeat Spain and defeat other opponents!"

"I always believe that the world is fair. If you want to get, you have to pay as much as you want. If you give, you will get corresponding rewards. So I hope that from now on, you will all remember very clearly that my goal is the champion, and our team will always fight for the championship!"

"And today, every hard training you have, every hard work you have endured, every drop of sweat you have dripped, is for going further and better in the European Cup field!"

Yang Cheng's words made everyone present feel a chill, because they all knew very well that what was waiting for them next would be the so-called devil-style special training. They didn't know how cruel it was, but they must be very uncomfortable.

And unless they want to escape at the last minute, they can only face it bravely!
