843 is just one breath away!

In the field of football, there have been some stories of father and son playing in battle, such as AC Milan's Martini and son, and there are also stories of brothers working together. For example, Manchester United's Neville brothers, and even twin brothers have also had stories, just like the Debors of the Netherlands, the two brothers have become famous Dutch stars. (--.)

The Bend brothers were born in Rosenheim, southeast of Munich, next door to Colbermore, Schweinsteiger's hometown.

Since Kaiserslautern brought Schweinsteiger from Rosenheim to Kaiserslautern, their scouting system has paid great attention to selecting materials in this area. As a result, in 1999, he successfully poached the Bend family's twin brothers from this area and successfully cultivated them, becoming another group of outstanding youth training works in the club.

For the Bend brothers, they were regretful because when they came to Kaiserslautern, the greatest head coach in the history of the team had left the city, but they could feel their respect and love for this great head coach from the words and deeds of everyone in the city.

They will never forget that Yang Cheng came to Kaiserslautern to watch a game and was warmly welcomed by fans all over the city. That scene would not lose to the team to win the championship. This shocked them because they were all very strange. How much contribution they had to contribute to the city's football to get their respect and love.

After joining the team, they began to feel Yang Cheng’s contribution to the city.

The advanced and complete youth training system ensures that everyone in the youth training system can get opportunities to grow and play; the sound large-scale scouting system and the nearby national youth training centers have provided convenience for Kaiserslautern to better choose talents from all directions, which have created the stable development of Kaiserslautern.

The size of this city has hindered the growth of Kaiserslautern, but everything Yang Cheng did for this team has given him the foundation and strength to be at the top of the Bundesliga. Since Yang Cheng left in 1999, Kaiserslautern has won three league championships and two cup championships, and his record is brilliant. He can be regarded as the club with the best results and management of the Bundesliga in addition to Bayern.

What is even more rare is that the team's attacking style has been passed down from the Yang Cheng period, advocating technology and creativity, which makes Kaiserslautern the most popular among all Bundesliga teams. This has also made Kaiserslautern's number of fans steadily increase, and the club's popularity has also increased greatly.

From the peak of Kaiserslautern set off by Peron, Fanny, Nedved and others during the Yang Cheng period, to the Sanya King of Kaiserslautern composed of Barack, Deisler, Schweinsteiger, Kell, etc., to the third period composed of many club youth training players such as Bend Brothers, Kaiserslautern's glory has continued.

And behind all this is the contribution of that person!

"I really hope to be selected for the national team!" The eldest brother Lars watched TV and played Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League MVP. This is undoubtedly a dream for this young player who is still playing in Kaiserslautern and is not very famous. He also hopes that he can win this award one day.

"Don't be stupid, it's OK!" Sven Bend was also a little nervous, but it seemed to be easier. But if you pay attention to observing his eyes, it's not difficult to find that in fact he is not at all relaxed. (--net.)

"The leader and the captain are right. Caesar needs reform now, and he needs more young people. This is our opportunity!" Sven Bend analyzed with a longing look on his face, "And don't forget that we have an innate advantage, that is, we come from the youth training system of Kaiserslautern, which is something that others don't have."

"Are you going to go through the back door?" Lars asked his brother with a smile.

Sven Bend grinned, "How is this possible? I just say we know Caesar's tactical philosophy better."

This is the truth. They have grown up in the youth training system of Kaiserslautern since childhood, and the youth training of this team is in line with Yang Cheng, so they are very consistent with Yang Cheng's tactical requirements.

With the 4231 frenzy set off by Yang Cheng, Bremer has also adjusted Kaiserslautern's tactics in the past two or three seasons, becoming 451. Two of the back midfielders who are in organizational and defensive tasks are Kyle, Sven Bend, and Lars Bend were arranged by Bremer to attack the left front guard.

The strength and potential of these two brothers are no longer needed. They received an invitation from Chelsea when they were 16 years old. Ferguson 17 called them, and Wenger 18 wanted to sign them from Kaiserslautern, but in the end they both chose to stay in Kaiserslautern, in this club that once created countless miracles.

Lars Bend has both offense and defense, and is characterized by a very comprehensive, active running, good skills, and capable of multiple positions. He can not only attack left front guard, right forward guard, central forward guard, back midfielder, and even full-back. He is a rare all-rounder.

Compared with his brother, Sven Bend is more specialized in his characteristics. He is a defensive midfielder. He has made rapid progress under the guidance of Kyle over the years and has excellent physical fitness. However, his defense does not rely on his body alone, but rather on prediction and vision to intercept the opponent's passing route. Moreover, he has a solid technical foundation. Once the interception is successful, he can directly and effectively ensure that he does not lose the ball, and then pass the ball to his teammates, or even launch an attack by himself.

Sven Bend played 23 times in the Bundesliga last season and won cards twice. This is a very impressive result for a defensive midfielder, but this does not mean that he has made little contribution to defense. At least Bremer has repeatedly stated that among Kaiserslautern's double midfielder, Sven Bend is crucial.

Both brothers are regarded as hope for the future by German football professionals. They have been selected for the warm-up match list of Germany and Denmark, and have made appearances.

But it is obvious that the nature of that warm-up match is almost negligible, and it is more like Yang Cheng's examination of the marginal people of the national team. Almost all selected are marginal players of the national team and some potential young players, so it is not very meaningful to be selected for that national team. What is really important is that it can be selected for the national team to prepare for the European Cup qualifiers in September, which is what the media calls Caesar's first period, which is meaningful.

While the two brothers were watching the live TV broadcast, the phones on the sofa in the distance rang.

The Bend brothers all turned around at the first time and saw two Google phones with the same styles placed on the desktop, one on the left and one on the right, and the one on the right sounded was the one on the right. That was Sven Bend's phone.

"My!" The younger brother jumped over and grabbed his cell phone. His face seemed to be filled with surprise in an instant. "Brother, the phone number of the Football Association!" He waved his cell phone hard, but he grabbed it tightly, for fear that he would accidentally take it off.

When Lars heard this, he was overjoyed and rushed over immediately. Sure enough, he saw that the phone was called from the German Football Association headquarters.

The last time they were selected for the national team, this phone call came over. For this reason, they specially saved the phone in the address book, but they didn't expect it to be called again.

"Come on!" Lars was a little sour. What did this phone call mean? His brother knew better than anyone else, and he was also nervous. Calling his younger brother first, would he call himself too?

"Hello!" Sven Bend immediately answered the phone and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Paul Bayer!" The person on the other side of the phone responded politely.

One sentence made both brothers excited. No matter who was selected for the national team, it was a happy thing for them. Moreover, Paul Bayer is the number one assistant coach of the national team coaching team today, responsible for notifying every international player selected for the roster and arranging all training matters.

"Hello, Mr. Baier!" Sven Bend trembled a little.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bend, you were selected into the national team roster at the end of August. I hope you can meet in Frankfurt immediately after the game against Bayern at the end of August. We will start preparing for the European Cup qualifiers." Paul Bayer said with a more official smile.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Baier!" Sven Bend agreed politely.

"Well, you can come with Barack, Kyle and the others at that time." Paul Bayer smiled. He has also been in Kaiserslautern and still has some good feelings for the players here.

"Okay!" Sven Bend responded.

"Then that's it, you'll be ready for everything, goodbye!" After that, Paul Bayer hung up the phone.

"yes!!!!" Sven Bend clenched his fists with excitement, rushed over and hugged his elder brother, "I was selected for the first period of Caesar, brother, I am really selected for the national team this time!!"

Lars Bend was a little bitter, but he still squeezed out a smile and nodded to his brother, "Congratulations, Sven!"

After being excited, Sven Bend immediately realized something and patted his elder brother on the shoulder, "It's okay, brother, maybe they will notify me first, and it will be your turn soon!"

Lars Bend nodded nervously, "I hope so!"

But in fact, the two brothers stared at Lars Bend's phone all night, but it never rang.

This made both brothers feel a little disappointed, especially Lars Bend, because he knew very well that it meant that he had lost the first phase of Caesar. Although it did not mean that he would not be able to be selected for the national team from now on, he was still a little disappointed, so that on the next day, in order to prepare for the second round of the Bundesliga against Bayern, when the team was familiar with the field training at the Fritz Walter Stadium, Lars Bend stared at that side of the Caesar stand.

The Caesar stand is not very different from the other stands at Fritz Walter Stadium. The difference is that this stand is an exclusive area for the loyal fans of the Bundesliga Red Devils. The seats on the stands are red, but each seat is engraved with a crown and the name of Caesar Yang Cheng to show the club's gratitude and commemoration of Yang Cheng.

Kaiserslautern fans are proud to be able to watch the game in this stand, which is the most sacred and inviolable for them.

"Silly, what are you thinking?" Bremer noticed Lars. Bend was feeling a little depressed and walked over.

"Nothing, boss!" Lars Bend said lightly.

Bremer nodded. He knew a little, because the German Football Association had announced the first roster of Caesar on its official website. Many players who participated in the previous warm-up roster have lost trace in this roster, and some are even regulars of the national team before, but now they have been rejected by Yang Cheng.

"When he led Kaiserslautern, our team was full of stars, including Veron, Nedved, Barack, Lucio, Vanny, Desler... These names are scary now, but at that time, they were not very famous, and no one knew that they could become the world's first-class superstar after joining Kaiserslautern."

Lars Bend nodded constantly. This is what Yang Cheng is most impressed with, because every time he goes to a team, he can always train a group of outstanding stars, so many people are proud of him playing football under his command.

"But many people may not know that Mr. Yang Cheng has very high requirements for players. You know, many people think that our training intensity is very strong, but I dare say that our training intensity is much worse than Real Madrid. This usual gap is reflected in the court, because the strength of the game depends on accumulation of time, rather than suddenly bursting out."

"Mr. Yang Cheng has high requirements for players. He doesn't look down on the players he admires. Therefore, if you are selected for the last national team training list, it itself represents his appreciation and affirmation of you. If you cannot be selected for the national team training list of this national team training list, it can only be said that you have done poorly in some aspects or are not outstanding enough."

Speaking of this, Bremer patted Lars' shoulder heavily, "You are only 21 years old, take your time, and you still have a lot of opportunities, but the most important thing is that you have to show your strength and let them sit in the stands take a good look!"

After hearing this, Lars Bend couldn't help but nodded heavily. He felt that Bremer was right. At least his younger brother Sven Bend's selection shows Yang Cheng's attitude towards young players. But his failure to be selected must be because he did not do enough in some aspects.

"Do it well, boy, learn more about Barack, learn more about your predecessors. They have a lot of things worth learning from, not just football, but also their winning and fighting spirit for the game."

After saying that, Bremer stopped talking and asked Lars to go back to train, but looking at his back, Bremer couldn't help but remember what Yang Cheng said to him before.

Today's German team and many German players have enough skills and enough health. It can be said that they have all the qualifications to become top stars, but they always give people a feeling that they are missing something.

"They lack a breath!" At that time, Yang Cheng expressed his judgment to Bremer.

"They have grown up under a complete system since childhood and have been cultivated and educated by science. They are like flowers in greenhouses, lacking the tempering and test of nature. Therefore, although they have excellent skills and excellent abilities, they are still unable to make people shine or convince people."

Yang Cheng also talked about his concerns. He always felt that whether players can complete the transformation from rookie to first-class stars actually depends on this energy. With this energy, they will be hungry for the game. They will want to show their best side anytime and anywhere, and want to kill their opponents, which will encourage them to do their best and make progress.

But without this aura, you have talent and skills. You may be talented when you are young, but as you mature and grow up, you will gradually become lost in everyone.

Compared with top powerhouses like Spain and Italy, Germany is actually just this far behind!

After Yang Cheng said this, Bremer had a very obvious feeling. Because he coached in the Bundesliga, he was very clear about the current situation in the Bundesliga. Although they all advocated technology and precision, and emphasized the adjustment of body and off-ball running, in fact, there is a common problem for Bundesliga teams, which is the passing of high fighting spirit.

Look at the competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams in the Champions League over the years. Although there is a gap in the overall ability of the team, are there no fighting spirit? Are there no spiritual factors?

"After a decade ago, you brought a bright hope to football in this country. After more than a decade, I hope you can bring a great character to football in this country, just like you built Kaiserslautern back then!" Bremer sighed quite sigh.

He also understood that the reason why Yang Cheng summoned Barack again was not very meaningful at the competitive level, but the key was that it was on the spiritual level. After all, Barack represented not only the football field, but his fighting spirit and unremitting efforts were all what the current German national team needed and lacked. This is the reason why Yang Cheng summoned Barack.

It can be foreseen that as the character of this German team gradually takes shape, Yang Cheng will gradually send a group of veterans such as Barack, Deisler, and Kyle out of the national team, and then summon more young rookies, thus making the entire German national team full of combat effectiveness, passion and victory.

These are the things that Yang Cheng is best at. From Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan, to Liverpool, to Real Madrid, he can always make those teams that are lost again and again shine brightly. I hope he can do this in Germany this time.

Thinking of this, Bremer couldn't help but have expectations and curiosity about the future of Caesar's version of the German national team. He really wanted to know how Yang Cheng would transform the current German team. After all, this team is not about the spiritual level, and at the tactical level, there are also many advantages and disadvantages.

It is good when it is good, but it is bad when it is bad. How to play the good side and cover up the bad side is undoubtedly a big test of Yang Cheng's tactical ability. Moreover, this is not a club, and it can be used to sign and transfer. This is the national team, and it can only be adjusted under the existing personnel framework.

There is no doubt that the latter is much more difficult than the former.
