After the team returned to Germany from Tigne, everyone could feel the pressure of the European Cup approaching.

The players themselves are also very clear that the two warm-up matches before the European Cup are the last chance to determine whether some marginal internationals can join the 23-man roster of the European Cup. If they can prove themselves with excellent performance, they may have a chance to break Yang Cheng's position on them.

When playing against Switzerland, the German team suffered a loss, losing 0:1 to Switzerland led by Heathfield. This is the first time that the German team lost to Switzerland in 56 years. Although it was just a warm-up match, it was enough to make countless people suspicious of Yang Cheng's national team, because this team has been on the court with doubts from the beginning.

After losing to Switzerland, German Spiegel published some questions on its front page headline.

"Why do you need to go to Tigne to conduct high-intensity physical reserve training just after the season ends?"

"Why should we arrange for Barack, Kyle, and Desler to stay in the national team after the veterans?"

"Why are there two teams with the best performance in the Bundesliga last season, Bayern has so many internationals, but Dortmund has so few internationals? Is there Yang Cheng's personal likes and dislikes here?"

Three problems point directly to the root of the contradiction, that is, Yang Cheng is the youngest of the national team. Strictly speaking, this is his first time as a head coach, he has been preparing for major competitions before the competition. He led the team to play in the South African World Cup before, but the pre-match preparation was made by Löw, and Yang Cheng took over the middle. As for the subsequent qualifiers, it is actually equivalent to the league.

Saki Hana Masaya, a Japanese man, was interviewed by many newspapers during Yang Cheng's leadership team to Tigne. He talked about the difference between the preparations for the German national team and the previous ones. For example, Yang Cheng used a nearly military training method to lead the team training, which is very different from the free and equal happy football advocated by Löw.

But the most important thing is that this Japanese used a lot of professional terms to explain one thing, that is, when the competition is about to start, it is unnecessary to lead the team to Tigne for high-intensity physical reserve training. That is the preparation method that will be adopted only at the beginning of the league, and other teams use recovery and adjustment more.

"Believe me, this is a team that can only play three games!" Sakika Masaya predicted confidently when accepting Spiegel Weekly.

The so-called three games are actually predicted that Yang Cheng's German national team will be directly eliminated from the group.

It was a first loss to Switzerland in 56 years. This result is indeed a bit unexpected, but Heathfield's Switzerland is not a fuel-saving lamp. They defeated Spain 1-0 in the first game of the South Africa World Cup. Now, Germany lost to this team in a warm-up match due to poor condition, which is actually not new.

But immediately afterwards, the German team tied with Israel 1:1 in the second warm-up match of Leipzig, which immediately attracted great attention. Spiegel Weekly even posted the cover title directly. A shameful draw was to vent their dissatisfaction with this game.

"Faced with Israel, which is ranked outside the world 60, the German team failed to gain an overwhelming advantage from beginning to end. This situation is very worrying, because the game is about to begin. We met Israel in this warm-up match, but we will encounter Spain, Portugal and France in the group stage, and the situation will be very bad."

"Our reporter specially interviewed the national team's physical training experts during Klinsmann and Loew's period. He was expelled from the national team by Yang Cheng because of his different opinions on preparations. He told our reporter that if the German team wants to recover after experiencing such high-intensity physical reserve training, it will take at least 2-3 weeks."

"It's obvious that Yang Cheng hopes that the team can handle the situation after qualifying in the group with more physical fitness, but he forgot that if the group can't go out, what's the use of no matter how abundant the physical fitness is?"

"We all admit that in the club field, Yang Cheng is an absolute expert, and Caesar's reputation cannot be questioned, but in the national team field, he has never been able to prove himself. Even in the South African World Cup, many people praised him for his successful firefighting, but all insiders know that Yang Cheng's success is actually thanks to Löw's blessing."

"There is news that there have been many doubts about Yang Cheng's training and preparation within the national team. According to an international player who did not want to be named, the locker room is already very dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's preparations and believes that this arrogant Chinese is imposing his will on the team. He is like a arrogant tyrant!"

"We also got news through an internal senior national team. The Football Association also had many doubts about Yang Cheng's coaching. However, due to his great reputation, Nielsbach's ascendance to the chairmanship is closely related to him. So in any case, he will definitely lead the team to play this European Cup. After the European Cup, our Caesar will be idle at home!"

In addition to this series of reports, Spiegel Weekly also published some similar reports, which were obviously written about Yang Cheng and the national team's poor performance in two warm-up matches, which caused a considerable reaction in Germany because all fans had high hopes for this national team.

Who is Yang Cheng?

In the past 17 years, he has definitely been synonymous with victory. He has lost, but he never admits defeat. Even if he loses, he will definitely lose admirable and has dignity. Moreover, his team-leading performance has always been very stable. He can always find ways to help the team and improve the team's combat effectiveness.

From the moment he served as the head coach of the German national team, he became the supreme one in the minds of German fans. Even the previous survey conducted by Photo News showed that in Germany, Yang Cheng's influence was higher than that of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and ranked first, which shows the appeal of this national team coach in Germany.

Therefore, when the articles suspected of Yang Cheng and his national team were published, it immediately caused a huge response in Germany. Most fans supported Yang Cheng and criticized this irresponsible and sensible report.

For example, the Photo News responded in the newspaper the next day, "Who is the so-called relevant person, the so-called internal news, the so-called international players who are unwilling to be named, the internal senior officials, and the players' families? We don't know!"

"Yang Cheng is an experienced head coach. But just because he is not a German and he is unwilling to become a German citizen, he suffered some suspicion and some unnecessary malicious attacks. As for Masaya Sakiha, this Japanese man was fired from the national team by Yang Cheng. How credible is his words? It goes without saying!"

The Kickers Magazine also responded quickly. They commented that Yang Cheng's team was actually not as bad as the outside world is worried. It is hard to say whether the physical reserves are good, because Rehger's Greece and Hiddink's Russia were all shining on the European Cup with their abundant physical fitness and rigorous tactics.

"As the world's number one coach, Yang Cheng's angle and direction of consideration must be different from us and fans, otherwise he would not be Yang Cheng. So there is no need to speculate on how effective his team is at this stage. We just need to calm down and wait and see and support this team, that's enough."

But this incident has obviously caused a huge response in Germany, so the chairman of the German Football Association quickly held a press conference, and Nielsbach personally came forward to clarify, ensuring that no matter how the team's record in this European Cup, Yang Cheng will stay until 2014.

"He is the best head coach in football today, and there is no need for us to doubt his ability. I believe he has his own ideas, and all we can do is support his ideas, not doubt it!"

The national team leader Bierkhov also stood up and accepted an interview with Sports Photo News. "The head coach sets strict rules for the team, which is Yang Cheng's personal feature. It can be seen from all the teams he coaches, so he has also set a lot of rules for this German team that are different from before."

"These rules are very different from before. For example, the national team allowed drinking, but they had to be moderate. However, now Yang Cheng has banned them completely. He asked players to strictly follow the recipes of the coaching staff. He specifically explained to the players that this is to ensure that the players' physical functions can be better adjusted, and diet is a very important part."

"In the past, Loew allowed the wife group to enter and exit the players' hotels freely, but Yang Cheng explicitly prohibited this time. All the players' families were not allowed to enter and exit the national team hotels at will, and the international players were not allowed to go out overnight. However, he also gave a grace, that is, the family members could enter the hotel to visit the next day after the game."

"There are some rules, such as not smoking, not using your mobile phone to Weibo, not revealing team secrets, etc."

When he arrived here, Bielhof laughed, "Since Sakika Masaya criticized Yang Cheng in an interview with Spiegel Weekly, I believe countless fans will be surprised. Why no one stood up and talked to Yang Cheng? Is he really so unpopular? Or are all the international players wanting him to leave quickly?"

"As the national team leader, I can guarantee that there is absolutely nothing like this. The reason why they refuse to accept interviews and refuse to express their opinions is because Yang Cheng issued a ban on the team, prohibiting anyone from accepting interviews in private, and even the company captains Barack, Ram and Schweinsteiger cannot talk about internal affairs in public."

"I don't know how the outside media view this kind of thing, but in my opinion, this is precisely an evidence of harmonious and united atmosphere within the team, because all the players listen to their head coach, which is undoubtedly the biggest counterattack against Masaya Sakiha. This is the most united and powerful national team I have seen in the past few years."

Bierkhov's words answered many previous questions, for example, many fans were surprised that no player defended Yang Cheng, and even the media used this to attack Yang Cheng, believing that he had lost the hearts of the people. However, Bierkhov said this, things turned around. It turned out that Yang Cheng took the initiative to ban players from accepting interviews, and the situation was very different.

As for the issue of rules, it depends on your opinion.

A very interesting problem broke out in the Bundesliga before. Bayern central defender Breno, known as the Bundesliga God, expressed his dissatisfaction with the club's practices on his Weibo. He took over the online brand promotion announcement that Bayern had been planning for a long time failed. Breno also accepted the club's punishment and caused dissatisfaction among fans.

During the period of Love, some international players announced on the Internet in advance that they had left the team due to injury. At that time, the coaching staff had not even made a decision on this, which led to the team being very passive in dealing with it. Although Love was very dissatisfied at the time, it was not settled.

But in the teams that Yang Cheng coached in the past, it is obvious that these problems have not occurred.

Yang Cheng’s Weibo fans are the world’s number one, and he has many fans. He often interacts with each other on the Internet, and even teases and teases each other. But they all clearly distinguish between what should be said, what should not be said, what can be done, what cannot be done, and what cannot be done. No one will cross that bottom line.

And the reason why such good results are very simple. They know the rules!

Some people say that banning players from using Weibo and surfing the Internet is restricting their freedom and distrust of them. In this regard, Grann Nak of the Pictures reprinted Yang Cheng's past words in his column and fought back.

"Trust is a feeling of each other. It doesn't mean that I let you go online. Let you do whatever you want, that means I trust you, maybe the other way around. That's because I've completely disappointed you, so I'll let you go."

"I can understand the players today. They are a new generation. They grow up with the Internet. They are used to communicating through the Internet. They take photos and upload them online, and tell everyone their ideas through Weibo and other means. I understand and agree with this because I often do this."

"But this is not the case that you can be unscrupulous? You can be unruly without principles?"

"I have always felt that the so-called freedom is based on rules. You must abide by the rules before you are qualified to enjoy freedom, because the rules can let you know what it means to stop at the right time. Therefore, freedom under the rules is worthy of advocacy and affirmation, but freedom without rules often represents chaos and disorder."

Also in this column, Gran Nak speculated with great certainty that the three veterans Barack, Deisler and Kyle will definitely be on the roster, and they will play a crucial role in this team.

"Yang Cheng knows the preciousness of old players more than anyone else, so he has always trusted Barack, Deisler and Kyle very much because he knows very well that only if these three veterans are in charge can he truly feel at ease with this team."

In addition, Grannak said that he has accepted the invitation from UEFA and will conduct an exclusive interview with Yang Cheng in Leipzig before the team goes to Poland. He hopes that fans can post some questions they are interested in on his Weibo and personal website. If appropriate, he will ask Yang Cheng in person and post the answers in the newspaper.

This is an UEFA event. Before the European Cup, a series of interviews will be conducted with the head coaches of 16 teams. Yang Cheng is the number one superstar among them, which is of course indispensable. Moreover, this interview will also be videotaped for promotion and publicity of the European Cup in the future.

As if in response to Gran Nak's speculation, Yang Cheng quickly announced the 23-man roster on the official website of the German Football Association, and the three veterans Barack, Deisler and Kyle are indeed on the list.

The goalkeepers are Neuer, Adler and Wizer. Among these three goalkeepers, Neuer is the absolute main force. Bayern goalkeepers perform without doubt in the national team or in the club. They are worthy of recognition and are the number one goalkeeper of the German national team.

There was some turmoil among the eight defenders, Ram, Jerome Boateng, Mertesak, Badstuber, Kyle, Hummels, and these six players were not worth making a fuss about. However, Dortmund's left-back Schmeltzer was also shortlisted, and Schalke 04's defender Hewardes was also selected.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng frequently called the team's versatile player Tresch and right-back Baker, this time, were not selected for the last roster of the national team, which also disappointed many fans who supported these two players.

In the midfield, Barack, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Khedira, Tony Klos, Gotze, Deisler and Sven Bend were all selected for the national team midfielders of this class, but the main midfielders of Kaiserslautern, Lars Bend, Reus, Schurler and other young players failed to enter the 23-man roster at the last moment, which is also a very regrettable thing.

On the front line are Klose, Gomez, Thomas Muller and Podolsky, and four of them are selected.

After the list was announced, Lars Bend accepted an interview with a reporter from the Photo Newspaper and felt very sorry for his failure, but he also said that he had full confidence in being selected for the national team again in the future.

"Mr. Yang Cheng told me that the failure this time was not because I was not capable enough, but because he could only bring 23 people with him. He felt very sorry for this, but he didn't want me to be discouraged because he was very sure of my future in the team. He said that as long as I continue to perform and improve like before, I will definitely be able to be on the national team list again."

Reus also accepted an interview with reporters and regretted that he had lost the European Cup roster. "I hope all my teammates can work harder because they are lucky and they should really stay in the team. I will work harder to improve myself. I hope to be on the big roster again after the European Cup."

Xuerle said that although he was not on the roster this time, the training camp during this period has been very helpful and exciting for him. "Mr. Yang Cheng said that he not only wants to help us improve our performance on the court, but also hopes to help us grow and learn how to live."
