Many of Santana's coaching philosophy are very similar to Yang Cheng. For example, they all attach importance to details, insist on attacking football, pursue perfection, do not like violence on the football field, never advocate that players commit fouls for football, and do not allow players to violate discipline off the court, etc.

When he visited Santana in Brazil, Yang Cheng talked with him for a long time and exchanged his respective coaching views. Santana once said that his trick would not work in Europe, but Yang Cheng Europeanized and upgraded his coaching philosophy.

It is also because of this that when Yang Cheng heard that Santana was admitted to the hospital, it happened to be the suspension period of the league, he went to Sao Paulo, Brazil to visit the highly respected coach.

Denilson squatted beside Yang Cheng. He could feel Yang Cheng's respect for Santana, not inferior to him at all!

He felt it was difficult to understand because Yang Cheng and Santana had only met several times, but they seemed to admire each other very much, especially Yang Cheng's admiration and respect for Santana.

Of course he wouldn't know that among the head coaches that Yang Cheng respected most in his previous life, Trey Santana ranked first, even surpassing Michels, who had all attacks and defenses, because they had a lot of consistent things in their bones.

Maybe it's because of this that they can get the same thing at first sight.

"I set up a team and the first thing I value is emotion, so I pay attention to the whole, because I really like the emotion of 11 players trusting and relying on each other. I always feel that that is the greatest and most powerful weapon on the football field!"

"I like victory, but I win the victory in my way, and win a game in an active, active and technical way. But under the glory of victory, what shines is the overall light of the team, not a certain star, because I understand that a person's power is limited, but a group of people's power is infinite!"

"So, in my team, every player is very important, but not indispensable. I think that's why on our jerseys, the team's name is always printed in the front, and the player's name is always printed in the back. That's to remind the players that the team will always be above the individual!"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Denilson deeply for a while before shook his head and sighed: "With your current way of playing football, you may be the most popular star, but you will never be the best player!"

Then he stood up, patted the grass clippings on his butt, and calmed down his mood, "Maybe, I should really consider the matter of letting you transfer back to Brazil!" After saying that, Yang Cheng walked towards his office.

Denilson was stunned after hearing this and stood up from the ground, "Can I let me stay and try?"

Yang Cheng stopped and turned around and looked at Denilson, who rushed forward a few steps.

"When I sat in the stands and watched the team defeat the powerful Dortmund in a difficult situation, I was really shocked that game, especially the overall feeling of my teammates on the court. I realized this more deeply in the following consecutive games, even when the team was not going well."

"I just called Santana, and he talked to me about you and mentioned it to me, saying that I should experience the fascinating emotions you said, because I have never felt them before, so I hope you can let me stay and try it. I promise, I will get myself to meet the standards you have asked for as soon as possible!"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, but soon thanked Santana for coming, because he vaguely guessed that Santana must have said something to Denilson, but he was also happy to see Denilson taking the initiative to actively integrate into the team.

"But that would be very difficult!" Yang Cheng said deliberately.

De Nielsen hesitated for a moment, remembering the desire to use his performance to overturn Yang Cheng's judgment when he received the written warning; remembering what Trey Santana told him about his future in Europe; and even more thought of the imitation of the Golden Globe trophy placed at the head of the bed...

"I still want to try it!" Denilson gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll take a look!" Yang Cheng said as if he pretended to be cool.

After seeing Yang Cheng off, Denilson did not leave the training ground immediately, but went to the equipment room of the training building.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound coming from inside. Denilson walked in strangely and saw Fanny practicing leg weightlifting alone, repeating mechanically again and again, even though he was sweating all over, gritting his teeth and persevering.

"It's you!" Fanny saw Denilson standing at the door and immediately greeted him with a smile.

Denilson walked in with his lips pursed and smiled friendly at Fanny.

"Are you here to train too?" Fanny asked with a smile.

De Nielsen did not answer, but stood beside Vanny, curiously sweeping through the practice equipment in the instrument room. He was very unfamiliar with all this because in Brazil, everyone believed that only the ball was under his feet was the best way to train.

"Are you practicing leg strength?" Denilson asked.

Fanny also completed his training volume, stopped, picked up a towel and wiped his face with sweat, "Yes, leg weight lifting can improve leg strength and better convert strength into speed."

"Is it effective?" Denilson doubted.

If you can increase your speed by simply practicing leg strength, then wouldn’t everyone have the chance to become a flying man? Then everyone doesn’t have to do anything else, just practice speed.

"It's so small!" Fanny said with a smile.

Denilson was stunned, "Since it doesn't work much, why..." He didn't say the next half of the sentence, but the meaning was very obvious, obviously he was suspicious that Fanny's training was useless and it was a waste of effort.

"I originally suspected that this was the case, but two days ago, the boss came here to see me and asked about my situation. He told me that the so-called targeted practice and training actually make little progress. What really promotes players' growth is the game and their own understanding, but training is inevitable!"

Denilson was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was a bit confusing. Since the progress was very small, why should we train targetedly?

"I asked him this way, but he told me a truth!"

Fanny walked down from the equipment, picked up a bottle of water and started drinking it.

"Take me as an example, my speed is not outstanding, so even if I practice for another ten or eight years, I will not be able to practice as fast as you. This is because my body is limited, but I still have to insist on leg strength training. Why?"

Denilson also looked at Fanny in amazement, feeling the Dutchman's eyes shining with excitement.

"It's definitely not just for those few percent seconds, because on the football field, you're fast and slower by a few percent, is it meaningful? The meaning of real targeted training is to make you have a pursuit of yourself and make some improvements to your own weaknesses. Even if the progress you have made is very small, you will feel progress. This is a very important feeling for players, because it will make you more confident!"

"Only absolute inferiority complex can lead to absolute confidence! This is what the boss said. Now I am beginning to understand the meaning of this sentence. Because I am inferior to myself, I will try my best to improve and train myself, strengthen my strength, and then make myself feel better and more confident!"

"Besides, the boss is a person who attaches great importance to details. He even reaches a rigorous level of detail. He made me understand that even if it is only a few percent of the progress, I have to try my best to fight, because even if it is only a very subtle detail, it may lead to a tilt of the winning and losing balance of a game!"

When Fanny said this, he smiled confidently and said, "Maybe, this is what the boss said, the charm of football!"

Denilson stared blankly at the Dutchman who was walking towards another set of equipment. He suddenly remembered what Trey Santana said to him. He didn't understand it very much at the time, but now he suddenly realized it.

"Standing on the football field, your biggest enemy is not the opponent standing opposite you, nor the fans in the stands, but yourself!"

Agent operations, media hype, fans praise... All of this has no meaning, because the players who have come out of this world will never be able to be the top. Really great players are players who have almost strict requirements for themselves. They will not change themselves because of changes in their opponents, but will only continue to improve and improve their requirements for themselves.

Players challenge themselves, the head coach challenge themselves, and the team challenge themselves... This is the real meaning of football!

To enlarge, isn’t this the real meaning of competitive sports?

When Denilson thought of this, he suddenly felt that his previous stubbornness and conservatism were actually a kind of cowardice. Because he did not dare to let himself face the European style and did not want to work too hard to improve himself, he chose to maintain his original state, which was equivalent to standing still.

But Yang Cheng had higher requirements for him, hoping that he could challenge higher goals, for his own good!

For no reason, at this moment, Denilson suddenly understood why his mentor Santana wanted him to stay in Kaiserslautern. For the first time, he felt a feeling of gratitude for Yang Cheng, although it was only a very faint slight.

"Can you teach me how to use these devices?" Denilson came to Fanny and asked humbly.
