Yang Cheng has always been opposed to the national team organizing such a warm-up match before the start of the new season, because he is more clear than anyone else about the importance of pre-season preparations to any club.

But the Football Association and the national team also have their own considerations, because there is no match between the national team from the end of the European Cup to the World Cup qualifiers in September, so it is indeed necessary to arrange such a warm-up match in August.

So, Yang Cheng finally chose to compromise. In this warm-up match, he did not summon several players such as Klose and Ozil, but he summoned more young rookies and marginal internationals. The most eye-catching one is naturally Leverkusen's youth team striker, Samed Yehill, who was only 18 years old and had never appeared in the Bundesliga.

Perhaps this player has attracted the attention of many fans in Germany, but now he is directly recruited by Yang Cheng, which immediately makes the whole world begin to notice this name, because everyone's interpretation of this striker is the same, genius!

When publishing this list, Yang Cheng clarified his intention to summon Samed Yehill.

"I was not hurriedly brought to the national team because I was worried that he was poached by other national teams, but because I wanted to find a player who could help the national team in the 2014 World Cup. I hope Samed Yehill will be the player I want!"

It is obvious that Yang Cheng's intention to summon the players was just to examine them, and there were no other unnecessary ingredients in it.

In addition, young internationals like Gotze, Reus, Lars Bend, and Schuller were once again selected for this list. In addition, Julian Draxler, who performed well in Schalke 04 last season, was also shortlisted for this training list.

When everyone saw this list, they knew very well that Yang Cheng's training camp was basically to adjust and practice the team's skills and tactics, and to examine the newcomers within the team at the same time, so there was no sense of investigation.

In order to take care of the interests of the club and the players, Yang Cheng's training camp was in a hurry. From training to competition to disband, it only took 3 days in total, so all clubs also cooperated as much as possible.

…………

August 13th. The weather is sunny.

When Yang Cheng led his coaching staff through the lush boulevard, bypassed the Frankfurt Commercial Bank Arena from the Linard Hotel, and arrived at the training base behind the arena, reporters who had heard the news had gathered at the scene.

When the reporters saw Yang Cheng walking into the training ground with a relaxed smile, a commotion suddenly sounded around the training ground.

Yang Cheng waved to the reporters, expressing his gratitude, and at the same time declined all interviews, led the coaching team to the training ground, and then began the on-site arrangement.

As before, Yang Cheng arranged the training ground. He stood in the middle and then divided the surrounding area into four pieces, one of which was specially used for training goalkeepers for Deepalma. The other three pieces were conducted with different training contents. It can be seen that the first training class this morning will be a comprehensive training without any information.

Yang Cheng's coaching team is experienced and very professional. The staff of the German national team's coaching team have also cooperated with Yang Cheng for many years. As long as he says a word, everyone knows how to move.

In this coaching team, in addition to Yang Cheng, there is also the former captain of the German national team, Barack, but the former captain now seems to have integrated his new identity and has been arranged in a very easy way on the training ground.

Time steadily entered 9 o'clock. The players began to change their training uniforms one by one and walked into the training ground.

This group of international players has basically been selected into the national team many times and is already familiar with Yang Cheng's requirements. So as soon as they entered the training ground, they didn't need to say anything to the coaching staff, and then they each started warm-up activities.

Samed Yehill and Draxler, who joined the team for the first time, have already learned the rules from their teammates, and the whole process follows their teammates. However, on the surface, they are still relatively careful, for fear of breaking the rules if they are not careful.

"Julian, I heard you were injured before, how do you feel now?" Yang Cheng, who was originally standing in the middle of the training ground, left his position and walked directly to Draxler's side.

"It's basically done, thank you for your concern!" Draxler immediately stopped the leg-pressing movement and quickly answered.

Yang Cheng nodded, "It's better to be careful. Before you wait for the training, you can go to the medical room first and let Professor Walfat show you. If necessary, you will be on the sidelines for restorative training in the morning."

After a pause, Yang Cheng was worried that Draxler would be crazy and added, "You can participate in the training of tactics and group confrontation in the afternoon, and then you can use your strength well!"

Draxler nodded heavily after hearing this.

After talking to the Schalke 04 young player, Yang Cheng walked towards nearby Samed Yehill.

When the young player, who is both German and Turkish nationality, saw Yang Cheng coming, immediately stopped his movements and stood there straight, as if a student who made a mistake was listening to the teacher's admonition, with an interesting expression.

"Samed, this is the national team, not a school, there is no need to do this!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling him to continue doing his own thing, "I am glad you can accept the recruitment of the national team, which proves that you are indeed willing to play for the German team, and I also hope that you can perform well in the national team!"

"I must work hard, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Yehill still looked serious.

For their young players, Yang Cheng is undoubtedly the noble king, and they can only look up to him.

"By the way, I heard you are worried about transfers recently. Is that true?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

Yeshir was a little nervous. After looking at Yang Cheng, he nodded in affirmation, but no answer.

"Don't affect your performance in the national team because of the transfer. I hope to see you continue to be selected into the national team. Don't let me down!" Yang Cheng patted the boy's shoulder encouragingly, smiled, and turned around and left.

"Hey. Mr. Yang Cheng!" Yehill called him as he was about to turn around.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Cheng was slightly stunned and looked at him with a friendly look.

Yehill hesitated a little. But he still asked, "What do you think about my transfer?"

This made Yang Cheng stunned at first. Then he laughed and kept shaking his head, "I don't have this kind of power. Samed, I am the head coach of the national team. You should talk about this kind of thing with an agent, your family, or Leverkusen's head coach."

Yeshir hesitated again, "I want to hear what you think, just listen!"

Looking at the expectation projected in the little ghost's eyes, Yang Chengzhen had no choice but to refuse. He thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you, but I'm just talking about my own opinion. It can't represent you!"

After hearing this, Yeshir showed a happy smile and nodded in agreement.

"In my opinion, the environment for a young player to grow up is very important, and there are many players with excellent talent when they were young. It is because in the rapid growth stage, the speed and momentum of progress were suddenly interrupted, which directly led to his failure to show strength that matches his talent and potential in the end."

"There are many factors that interrupt players' growth and progress, such as transferring to an unfamiliar environment, such as the blow of some things may be psychological, or play style or technical, but there are often both, especially the former, and there are many young rookies who fall to this point."

"Of course, I don't mean that transfers will not be successful, because there are also many who shine after transfers, and many who have not transferred, but gradually lose their glory. In short, everything is available. But from my perspective, staying in a familiar environment while ensuring the same training opportunities is more suitable for the growth and progress of a young player."

Yang Cheng is just a head coach of the national team. He is neither Yeshir's club head coach nor his agent, so he definitely dare not say what he wants Yeshir. Otherwise, if Yeshir plays out in the future, it would be better, but if he doesn't play out, he might directly criticize Yang Cheng for making an idea for him.

"These are my own opinions, think about it carefully!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yeshire nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you, Mr. Yang Cheng!"

Yang Cheng had a good impression of this kid, so he patted his shoulder with encouragement, turned around and walked back to the middle of the training ground.

…………

…………

The first training class of the German team was mainly about recovery, but Yang Cheng and the coaching staff were also observing each player through a series of training details, such as their technical conditions, physical conditions, and their psychological conditions. These are important basis for examining the international players.

The first training class was open to the outside world, but in the second training class in the afternoon, Yang Cheng closed the door and began to practice the team's fan-shaped defense system and counterattack routines fully.

In Yang Cheng's view, any counterattack cannot be faster and more effective than long passes. It can quickly advance through the midfield and push the ball into the opponent's threat area in the shortest time, and cooperate in this area to create a threat. This is actually equivalent to reducing the step of Spain's ball control and foot-turning step in front of the opponent's 32-meter area.

In this way, the overall rhythm of the team will definitely accelerate, but once the first counterattack cannot create a threat, then pass through high positions, Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Tony Klos and other forward players will form a second organizational echelon, and create a threat through pulling and team cooperation.

Of course, Yang Cheng himself is very clear that long passes mean a reduction in success rate, so his requirements for the team are actually not to blindly play long passes and diagonal attacks, but to complement each other in the short and short periods. That is to say, at the moment of getting the ball, if you see a gap, you will directly play long passes, otherwise you will cooperate with the promotion, because the German team also has a good propulsion player like Ram.

But the German team's offensive tactics must revolve around the diagonal line, so in the training, Yang Cheng arranged in addition to specially arranged diagonal offensive routine drills, and focused on the players' long pass practice.

Long passes are a technical job, and many fans don’t know that. Looking at the long passes in the game, it feels light and easy, but the effect is awesome, so I think that long passes are too simple. I even hear some people say, why doesn’t a certain player practice long passes?

This idea is a big mistake!

To put it simply, a vertical backcourt over the top long pass. This should be the easiest, but if you want to grasp the landing point, strength and angle well, it will undoubtedly be very difficult.

Nowadays, the ball is getting lighter and lighter in regular games. It is not heavy and floating. On the one hand, it means that you need to launch a long pass and the requirements for foot strength have been reduced. But on the other hand, it is precisely because it is lighter and floating, so the control of the landing point, angle and arc of the ball has higher requirements.

During training, Yang Cheng focused on shaping the long passes of Badstuber, Hummels, Schweinsteiger, Tony Klos and others. He had a requirement for all players who practice long passes. It was to find a footwork of his own.

There is no way to learn long passes, and there is no understanding. You can learn the skills of long passes, and you can also learn footwork, but how to exert force. How to touch the ball, how to touch the ball, how to exert force, and how to exert force, these need to be mastered by the players' repeated practice.

How much force can the ball reach its destination and what part to play at which position is required to practice continuously and then master it. These are things that others cannot teach, and they can only practice by themselves.

For example, if you want to make a long pass from Khedira, Badstuber will definitely not be able to make it. Why?

Khedira's feet are strong, and his feet are strong and full of force. He swung his legs casually, and the kicking force is enough to reach the destination. But Badstuber must have to exert more force, so how to exert force and how to exert force requires one to practice and explore repeatedly and constantly.

In addition, in addition to the force of the touch ball, the pace adjustment before the touch ball is also very important. If you carefully study the long passes of long passers such as Beckham, Pirlo and Xavi Alonso, it is easy to find that basically every long pass move is as standard as possible, almost exactly the same.

Why is this happening?

Because they found their own set of long-term pass tips and methods through repeated practice, and then they regulated it and practiced repeatedly. After they became proficient, when they arrived on the court, they would begin to subconsciously follow their practice experience, step on the pace, adjust their bodies, and swing their feet to exert force. Almost every long pass is the same standard movement.

Some people may say that too many improvisations can also achieve the goal of passing?

However, the point is that improvisational movements are never standardized and stable, so those long passers who pursue improvisational performances occasionally have wonderful long passes, but they often have spoofs that are so bad that they make people laugh and have serious lack of stability. However, the standardized actions of Beckham, Pirlo, Carrick, Harvey Alonso and others can ensure stability to the greatest extent.

"I still remember that many people suspected that Beckham had only one trick and believed that long-term passes were not a technology, but now you should all know that long-term passes are not just a technology, but a skill, and it can even be said to be an art, which is the same as countless techniques and football arts on the football field."

"All art requires talent, but also requires continuous efforts and diligence after the day, so you must work hard!"

This is what Yang Cheng said to cheer up the players after they practiced a long pass.

In Yang Cheng's coaching team, Monitz and Murenstin are both experts in technical training. During long pass practice, they constantly give guidance on players' passing movements and other issues to help them improve.

Not only on the first day, but on the second day's training class, Yang Cheng still joined the long pass training course in addition to tactical drill training to improve the players' awareness of long pass training.

After two days of training sessions, everyone could see that Yang Cheng was focusing on polishing the team's new tactics.

That night, Yang Cheng directly announced the starting list of the match against Argentina the next day.

The goalkeepers are Neuer, the defense are Ram, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, and the three midfielders are Schweinsteiger, Sven Bend and Tony Klos; the three frontcourt players are Thomas Muller, Gotze and Reus.

This tactical formation is a bit similar to 433, but Yang Cheng prefers to call it 4330, because the two wing players, Thomas Muller and Reus, are on the left and right sides respectively, moving against the middle area between the opponent's full-back and central defender.

Gotze's position is behind these two wingers and plays as the front midfielder. In addition to passing and passing the ball for the two players, his responsibilities are to take the ball to attract the opponent's central defender, or to pull the opponent's defense line on both sides and reveal flaws, and then insert and complete the final blow.

In this position, Ozil is the most suitable. The German front midfielder can always do a very good job in finding gaps to get the ball. He is good at finding loopholes between the opponent's back midfielder and defense line. Moreover, his awareness and creativity of passing the ball quickly after getting the ball are also excellent, so it is most suitable for playing in this position.

However, because Yang Cheng did not summon Ozil to the national team this time, he tried to use Goze to play this position. After all, there is no harm in making preparations for everything.

At the preparation meeting, Yang Cheng repeatedly emphasized that no matter who it is, running and passing should be based on oneself, using the distance and movement direction of his teammates as the reference, and taking me as the main point, so that the opponent can adapt to his tactics in turn. This is also his usual requirement. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
