The poet Heine once commented on our nation like this, "The German nation is not a nation that acts rashly. Once it embarks on any path, then it will persevere in carrying this path to the end."

In the past decade, German football has been in a state of decline. Even in the recent two major competitions, they have entered the finals one after another. However, all German fans who support this team will not think that German football has revived. They will always say that this German team is on the road to revival.

Some people attribute the reason for the decline of German football to technology, believing that German players' skills are obviously unable to keep up with the pace of the times and lag behind other European teams; some people attribute the reason to tactics, believing that German team's old tactics are already lagging behind.

But in my understanding, even at its peak, German football is still inferior to our opponents in terms of technical and tactical aspects. But why can we defeat our opponents again and again and again and win championships and glory?

I think Yang Cheng is right. Football is never just a contest at the technical and tactical levels. Players are human beings, not robots without emotions, without fluctuations. They are living people. They have their own thoughts, their own feelings, and their own ideas. They are individuals one by one.

How to gather these ** individuals into a force?

Rely on technology? Rely on tactics?

Far from enough!

History tells us that the most powerful combat weapon in German football has never been technology or tactics. It is the spiritual power that will never give up until the last minute of the game based on technology and tactics. It is this force that condenses all our players into a combat power, a whole, a powerful whole!

Over the years, I have interviewed many people, I have asked Summer. I have asked Mattus, Nezer, and I have the opportunity to ask Fritz Walter. When they mentioned German football to me, they all said a very similar thing, that is, the power in German players is gone!

I can feel the deep disappointment deep in their hearts from their eyes, their expressions, and even from their sighs. This disappointment is not because the football world today does not need this power. But because we choose to give up this power when we need this power the most!

I asked Klinsmann if it is the team's traditional spirit important or the technology and tactics important? His answer to me is the traditional spirit!

I also asked Loew, is it important for the team's traditional spirit or skills and tactics? His answer to me is skills and tactics!

I also asked Yang Cheng the same question, is it important for the team's traditional spirit or skills and tactics?

His answer to me is that both are equally important!

I was wondering. Why was Yang Cheng's answer so unexpected?

After thinking for a long time, I went to read his book, and I think he believed a little. People are animals dominated by emotions, thoughts, and emotions, so he believed that the most basic thing about the birth of any strong team is the soul of this team. A team without souls cannot become a powerful team.

So, what is the soul?

It is spirit! It is a team spirit recognized by all players in the team!

This team spirit may not necessarily be present when players join the team. It can be influenced by the eyes and witnesses or inherited through words and deeds. But it must be recognized by all players, accepted by them, and want to do their best to maintain them.

So after taking office, Yang Cheng said that on the basis of ensuring the team's skills and tactics, he should do his best to cultivate the team's team spirit, and enable all players to regain the traditional spirit of German football. Let German football learn to challenge and defeat their opponents with their most important and powerful weapons.

After the German team lost to Spain, Nezer called him and he asked me ecstatically, "Hey, Gran, have you watched the first European Cup group stage? Have you watched it?"

I was at Lviv Stadium, and I was standing in the crowd. I was silently in the crowd, looking at the desperate players on the field, I stopped applauding because I answered the phone. I believe Nezer was also on the scene at that time because we all heard the same applause from each other's cell phones.

When Barack walked out of the bench and the first time he clattered the applause, I understood it completely in my heart.

I understood why Yang Cheng had to go against the public and insisted on keeping Balac; I also understood why Yang Cheng had to lead a team to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp in such a big storm; I finally understood why Yang Cheng said that traditional spirit is as important as technology and tactics.

Because from this game, I believe all fans should understand that there is never the best technology, and tactics are always mutually reinforcing, but only the spirit in the bones is the key source for maintaining the combat effectiveness of a strong team.

At the moment when Barack's applause sounded, I saw the revival of the German spirit. For the first time, I truly felt that we had the opportunity and hope that this European Cup would completely belong to us Germans!

Because, we finally found our spirit!

So, when Nezer's obviously out of control shouted, saying that this was the most combative game he had seen in recent years, I nodded without hesitation, and I also told him that I hope to tell all German fans through this column that you should not give up your belief and support for the team because of this defeat.

This will be what we conquer Europe and the world football world!

And we will witness this great historical moment!

...

This is a column comment from the Picture Newspaper after the Spanish match. The author was Granneck, but at this moment it was rolled into a circle and was tightly grasped by a slender arm. The owner of the arm was now in the crowd of people, holding the newspaper's arms high and shouting.

"Germany! Germany! Germany!!!"

"Caesar! Caesar!! Caesar!!!"

The 9-year-old fan didn't shout loudly. He was carried on his shoulder by his father. His expression looked very excited and his voice was hoarse, but he still shouted with everyone at the scene.

This scene happened at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, where more than 500,000 German fans gathered here. There are big and small, old and young, but they have only one purpose here, that is, cheer for the team they support and love.

From the beginning of the game, they have been shouting, and until now, the shouting has never stopped on this road. They applauded, cheered, cheered for the team in an orderly manner, and even many fans waved the national flag in their hands vigorously, as if they were watching the football on the Lviv Stadium.

I heard that the referee on the big screen finally put his whistle in his mouth and looked at the watch in his hand. This scene made hundreds of thousands of fans at the scene excited, and they all shouted louder, becoming more excited and more fanatical.

When the crazy whistle sounded crisply, it was soon covered up by the crazy roar at the scene. No one could stay calm when the crowd was in high spirits, and no one could stay rational when the extreme excitement.

They once thought it was over when they lost to Spain. They once thought that even Yang Cheng could not save the team, so they were all disappointed, but they still came here to cheer for the team. They chose to believe in Gran Nak's appeal and expectations, and surprisingly, Yang Cheng did not disappoint them.

After defeating Portugal 2:0, the situation of the German team qualifying in the group became clear again, and all the fans also rekindled the fire of hope, but they were still a little worried. Because they fought against France in the last game, they were worried that the team would collapse again after a kick, just like losing to Spain in the past.

But Yang Cheng is Yang Cheng. He completely defeated the French team in terms of technical and tactical aspects, both in terms of leadership spirit. From the very beginning, he completely turned the French team into a piece of fat on his chopping board and was slaughtered.

4:0, a bloody score also created the score with the largest gap in this European Cup so far.

This made the German fans in front of Brandenburg all ecstatic, and everyone kept shouting, Long live! Long live!!! Long live!!!

They would never have thought that what they thought would be a hard fight would eventually turn into such a complete victory, a big victory, and an almost iconic one-sided victory!

This victory not only gave the German team the right to qualify in the group, but also rekindled all German fans' tireless pursuit of victory and championship, because they have been away from the championship for more than ten years, and they have been waiting for a championship and almost went crazy.

With the referee's whistle, everything finally settled.

But I believe that at Brandenburg Gate, at Lviv Stadium, and around the world, there are still countless fans who can't believe it because the team they support has completely defeated France and won by a nearly invincible big score.

Klose and Thomas Mueller both scored twice, and they became the heroes of the team's victory and the heroes that all fans talked about. Their performance deserves the praise given to them by the fans, and they are good.

…………

…………

At the post-match press conference at the Lviv Stadium, Yang Cheng seemed indescribable to face the reporter's suggestion that after winning the game and obtaining the right to qualify in the group, he seemed indescribable to what the German team's future goal was.

"I was very clear from the beginning that we will definitely be able to qualify from the group, and we have only one goal, that is, the championship! So no matter how many difficulties and setbacks we encounter in the group, my players and I have never changed our goals and plans."

"Now from qualifying in the group, we have strengthened our confidence and hope in winning the championship. We will continue to play one game after another, and in the end, we will stand at the top of European football. I am very confident in this, and I believe my players are too!"

This is the first time that Yang Cheng said he wanted to compete for the European Cup in such a naked manner, because in this situation, the German team should definitely call for the championship and continue to maintain the team's good momentum.

If the team is so good, the players are in a better and more and more difficult situation, you are still conservative and tolerant. In the end, it will only dampen the morale of the team and the enthusiasm of the players. Since this is the case, it is better to simply set the goal a little wider.

This also confirms a sentence. When setting goals, don’t magnify your ambitions a little, when will you magnify?

"Mr. Yang Cheng, the German team performed very well in this game and laid a leading advantage from the beginning. What do you think is the reason for this almost one-sided situation?" a reporter asked with his hand raised.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, after winning the ball, his mood improved as well.

"I think it's an exaggeration to say one side. At least the second half of the French team has recovered a lot, causing us a lot of trouble. I think one of the important reasons why we can win this game is that our players have stronger wins, and we are more physically active in the game and have a more fighting spirit."

When Yang Cheng said this, Blanco was so hungry that he was sitting beside him that he was obviously nodding, at least from the game. Everyone in the German team was fighting, but the French team did not do enough in this regard, and it could even be said to be very poor.

The only one who worked harder was Ribery, but Scarface was unable to lead the entire team in the end.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, from the beginning, many people regarded the German team as a favorite team to win the championship, so now you say you want to compete for the championship again, no one will have any objections, but if you encounter Spain again in the final, are you confident of breaking this nightmare? You know. In three major competitions, the German team encountered Spain three times, and lost three times, and lost 1:0. Many people said that this is a curse. What do you think?"

Yang Cheng nodded, "Spain is indeed the most powerful national team in football today. We have indeed lost to the other party in the past three games, but I never think this is a curse, but because our skills are not as good as others, we have not done well enough in many aspects, which has led to our loss."

"If I encounter Spain again, I have the confidence to challenge this team. I firmly believe that if I can meet Spain again, the team that takes the European Cup will definitely be our German team!"

Yang Cheng's confident remarks also became the front page headlines of larger media in Europe and the world the next day, and even covered up the limelight of Spain's 1-0 victory over Portugal again, because Yang Cheng's remarks were indeed a bit too much in the eyes of some people.

Of course, it is not impossible.

According to the schedule, Spain won the first place in the group with three consecutive victories, and he was assigned to the second in the group, but the German team was assigned to the first half in the group. If the two teams want to encounter it again, it can only be in the final.

After qualifying from the group, the first opponent in the quarterfinals knockout round that the German team encountered was the first in Group A, that is, the Czech team. This team is not as strong as the German team in overall strength, but it is not completely without combat effectiveness, so it should not be underestimated.

As the European Cup is in full swing, the games of each group are gradually becoming clear.

Another group of duels in the upper half should be Italy and England. The winners will meet the winners of Germany and Czech teams and play in the semi-finals.

Therefore, for the German team, playing against the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals is a relief to the team's tense nerves. At least they don't have to fight hard like Italy and England, after finally qualifying from the group, but they still have to fight to the death.

However, the group they are in is obviously not as good as the Death Group where the German team is, so the schedule is fair to both sides. The only pity is that Portugal and France. Originally, if they were assigned to separate groups, they might have been able to qualify, but now they are arranged to the Death Group.

But it was precisely because of the death group that the European Cup had entered the ** from the group stage, especially the strong dialogues in Group B, which made fans all over the world excited, especially the German team.

As they qualify for the group stage, everyone is optimistic about the German team, believing that this team is becoming more and more champion and more powerful, especially in defense, becoming more and more stable.

With his outstanding performance in the second game of the group, Hummels continued to start against France in the third game, and his performance was still outstanding, giving Benzema only one chance to kick the ball in the whole game, but he did not play in the right angle.

Ram, Kyle, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, the German team's defense line is getting stronger and stronger. In addition, Badstuber's substitute also performed well on the bench, and there is no need to doubt the strength of Mertsacker. There are Schweinsteiger, Sven Bend and Khedira ahead, so the German team's defense line is getting stronger and stronger as it breaks.

This is also what everyone praises Yang Cheng the most. It is rare to say that he can organize such a solid defense line when he doesn't have many cards in his hand. It shows the level of a top-level coach. No one dares to say that Yang Cheng is not good at tutoring defense in the future.

What's even more rare is that with a solid defense, the German team's offense has not fallen at all. The open defensive counterattack tactics are becoming more and more skillful and changing in Yang Cheng's hands. The game against Portugal can only be said to be good, but when it comes to playing against the French team, it almost made the French team a sieve.

This also made everyone more and more optimistic about the German team, and the odds of the bookmakers were also rising steadily. After qualifying in the group, they beat Italy and England in one fell swoop and returned to second place, second only to Spain.

In another speculation, everyone is also very optimistic that the German team will reach the finals and face Spain again.

However, Beckenbauer also issued a reminder, asking the German team to be careful of Italy, because since 1995, the German team has never beat Italy again. This team is the victim of the German team and has to be guarded!

When Yang Cheng was interviewing, he kept calling on the team to be cautious, and play games one by one, and to be cautious in every game, and to do his best! (To be continued.
