"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Cheng!"

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Foggarts immediately walked towards Yang Cheng in front of the home team coach's seat.

"Thank you, Bertie!" Yang Cheng held his stretched hand and responded with a smile.

The two head coaches stood on the sidelines of the home team's coaching area and shook hands. This scene was immediately captured by the scene's camera, and the fans in the stands also applauded. There is no doubt that their applause was more for the current head coach of the national team, Yang Cheng. Sorry for the former head coach, Vogtz has always been mixed in praise and criticism in German football.

Some people say that Fogtz is excellent. He won the runner-up in the European Cup in 1992 and the European Cup in 1996, but some people say that Fogtz is bad because he won the runner-up in 1992 and was upset by the Denmark team in the key finals. He was a bit reluctant to win in 1996. On the contrary, in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups, Fogtz's team performed poorly.

Those who support Vogtz think that Vogtz's team-leading performance is excellent. He coached Germany in 102 games, 67 wins, 23 draws and 12 losses, with a winning rate of 65.69%. It is the second place in Germany's history of all-time head coaches, second only to De Val's 67.16%, higher than Beckenbauer and Herberger. It was recently surpassed by Loew's 69.6%.

But the cold data obviously cannot convince everyone. At least many people think that the winning rate cannot tell everything, because whether it is Fogtz or Loew, many of the coaching games are in qualifiers, which is not very difficult for the German team.

Moreover, during the period when Fogtz was in charge of the German team, it was the last glory of German football. At that time, the remaining power of the German team was still there. In addition to powerful players such as Samer, the overall strength of German football is the best in the world football world. It is not surprising that Fogtz led such a team to win such a winning rate, but it is difficult to convince in the competition. This is unreasonable.

Moreover, during Fogtz's leadership in Germany, the conflict between Mattus and Klinsmann, Ilgna's departure from the national team, etc., all these problems made Fogtz's head coach mixed praise. Even though he won the World Best Coach Award in 1996, he never achieved convincing results after leaving the German national team.

Over the years, Fogtz's coaching situation has been getting worse. Since 2008, he has been ranked among national teams like Azerbaijan, which are ranked more than 100 years ago, and has never entered the mainstream football field.

Yang Cheng had a very average impression of Fogtz, but in terms of politeness, he still had to establish a good relationship with Fogtz. One more friend is more meaningful than one more enemy, right?

"You played well in this game, I hope you can continue to work hard!" Fogtz smiled and wished.

Yang Cheng nodded and smiled, "I wish you good results too!"

The two of them didn't say much, but after a few hastily greetings, Fogtz turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the overwhelming cheers from the stands and turned around to look. He saw Yang Cheng wave at the fans in the stands. This action gave him a lot of praise.

Seeing this scene, Fogtz couldn't help but feel envy in his heart, because he has never been very popular with fans.

Or, strictly speaking, he is not popular with the media.

During his tenure as head coach of the national team, football began to enter the media era. Since then, a person's words and behaviors in TV interviews have been regarded by fans as a true and reliable proof. Almost everyone knows this person from TV and the media, but Fogtz has difficulty adapting to this environment.

He asked himself that he had rich professional knowledge, but he failed to gain more room for play, and he himself didn't understand why the media didn't like him, and the players and fans didn't like him. He didn't understand why, just as if he didn't understand why they like Yang Cheng and his football.

Maybe, I am not as handsome as him!

Just as Fogtz smiled bitterly and shook his head, he passed the player passage and saw a group of figures walking out of the passage. The leader was a middle-aged woman in a fiery red coat, which was German Chancellor Merkel.

At this time, the iron lady was walking towards Yang Cheng with a smile on her face, and behind her was a group of senior officials from the German political circles, which were obviously all coming to support Yang Cheng at home. Such a strong statement and position were really mixed, envious and jealous.

"A group of politicians are just showing off!" He could only secretly complain in his heart, sour.

…………

…………

The powerful Germany is coming again, and Caesar's goal performance is performed on the court!

The perfect score shows the true core of the national team, and the piglet perfectly plays the role of core leader!

The Caesar national team made a perfect debut at home, and the whole country celebrated two consecutive victories in the group!

The world's best famous coaches competed, and the popular Caesar slaughtered Fogtz!

...

The next day, the German team's big victory was published on the front pages of major newspapers in Germany and Europe.

Yang Cheng's team's performance in this game was actually not perfect. As the picture newspaper said in the comments, "In the first half hour of the game, our midfielder seemed very chaotic, lacking sorting and scheduling, and our attackers did not receive strong support in the front, which made our offense difficult."

"As a World Cup celebrity, Khdira performed amazingly in the World Cup field and attracted the attention of countless giant teams. But the problem is that he obviously failed to meet Yang Cheng's requirements. The latter obviously cannot indulge this Stuttgart midfielder like Lov. Yang Cheng wants order and sustainability."

This sentence in the picture newspaper is somewhat belittled by Löw. The media and fans have always felt that Löw indulged Khdira too much and suppressed Balak and others too much. Khdira is from Stuttgart. Löw also debuted as coach Stuttgart back then. At that time, Stuttgart was beaten up by Yang Cheng's Kaiserslautern.

Some conspiracy theorists pointed out that the reason why Löw suppressed Barak and others was because of the failure that year, which made him feel thorny, and he obviously believed in players like Khedira who came from his own line.

"Yang Cheng said in an interview with reporters after the game that Khedira is a player with outstanding strength and potential, but he still doesn't know how to position his role on the court. This is obviously dissatisfaction with Khedira, because the latter obviously took a resistant attitude towards Yang Cheng's request."

"In an interview with reporters, Khdira secretly said that Yang Cheng had too high demands on him. But Beckenbauer and former national team coach Klinsmann said that Yang Cheng's words must have their own truth. Khdira should openly talk with Yang Cheng, and should not complain too much to the media. But now it seems that Khdira will obviously be thrown into the cold palace by Yang Cheng."

"Sven Bend came on as a substitute for two consecutive games. He was very clear about his positioning, defensive players and midfield barriers. This player has good ability to take and pass balls and lacks creativity. But he is competent in the horizontal distribution of ball rights, and his active attitude of defensive and pressing and oppressing is also what Yang Cheng is most satisfied with."

"Liberating Schweinsteiger is undoubtedly what Yang Cheng wants to do the most. Now, this big victory, even if the opponent is Azerbaijan, the 7-0 victory has allowed everyone to see the framework and foundation of Yang Cheng's national team. They only took more than ten minutes of the first half to end the entire game."

"Yang Cheng's Germany is undoubtedly getting better, and we hope to see a stronger and stronger German national team!"

Compared with the comments from the Photo News, the kicker listed the relevant personnel who were interviewed by reporters after the game, including head coach Yang Cheng.

"We have indeed cooperated very well many times. We have put a huge pressure on our opponents in oppression and control. We can see the players have made such progress and performance. As the head coach, I am proud and relieved for this, but what I feel even more relieved is that we are not satisfied with winning, but hope to do our best."

"I said that what I want to see is a German national team full of ambitions, full of victory, and full of fighting will. We have strength that is better than our opponents, we have excellent technical skills, but these cannot guarantee that we will become a top-level team. However, in the game against Azerbaijan, I saw that we have such abilities and potential."

"We did a good job in this game, and the team was well-matched. Everyone knows what they should do and what kind of results they want to get. This is very good. The overall team is well-functioning. We have unified goals and determination, and we have sufficient confidence. This makes me more satisfied than defeating our opponents."

"But I don't want someone to feel satisfied because of this. We are far from reaching the best. We are still in the running-in period. We have higher goals and we still have huge room for improvement. I firmly believe that as long as we all unite, unify our goals and never give up, we will become stronger and stronger!"

The captain Ram also made a statement after the game, "We played very chaotic in the first half of the hour, because we had a deviation in the executive coach's tactics, but then we did a good job, we played very smoothly, we all devoted ourselves to the game, scored a lot of goals and played beautifully, which made us feel satisfied."

"But Mr. Yang Cheng pointed out some of our problems in the locker room. He told us that there is still a huge room for improvement. We also expressed that we are willing to continue to work hard for this. We firmly believe that if we continue to maintain this momentum, we will be more combat-oriented in the 2012 European Cup and the 2014 World Cup."

The team's vice captain Schweiingsteiger, captain Barack, Kyle, Desler, Mertsacker, Neuer and other players also expressed their support for Yang Cheng in an interview, believing that he is the key to the team's two consecutive victories, and also think that the team's implementation of such tactics is very good.

"In the past, when I was standing in front of the goal line, I was always feeling threatened, but I felt very relieved in the last two games. This was an instinct because my teammates in front of me did a good job in defense and oppression. In the game against Azerbaijan, I made a save in the whole game and I felt that the team was improving."

Neuer is obviously very satisfied with the current situation of the team. "If Caesar brings us the biggest change, I think it is him that makes us balance the offense and defense more. I firmly believe that this is something that all top teams are pursuing, and we are pursuing him at the moment, and it is progressing well. I hope to continue the momentum now!"

In addition to the domestic media in Germany, media from countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, etc. have also paid attention to Yang Cheng's national team match. After the first match against Belgium, there was still some controversy and concern, but after the match against Azerbaijan, this controversy and concern completely disappeared.

Azerbaijan is indeed a team that is outside the top 100. But this team is not as vulnerable as the outside world imagines. The German team can slap their opponents 7:0. Although they have home advantage, the overall strength of the German team and the combat effectiveness presented in the game are worthy of praise.

Whether it is Kyle, who has returned to the national team or Sven Bend, who has been officially selected for the German official lineup for the first time, has shown satisfactory strength and form.

As the kicker said, Kyle returned to his debut as a central defender and showed his strength again under Yang Cheng's command. He took the ball on the back and controlled the ball with great style. Moreover, his assisted defense and fill-in are very stable, which is reassuring. The combination with Mertesak is also eye-catching.

Sven Bend was the biggest discovery in these two games. Khedira loved attacking forward, and Sven Bend was more stable and had stronger defensive ability. It was obvious that the latter was Schweinsteiger's ideal partner. The Kaiserslautern young player also squeezed Khedira out of the main lineup through two games and gained a firm foothold in the national team.

"He was replaced after playing 30 minutes in the first half. Hedira has undoubtedly fallen out of favor. He wants to enter the second phase of Caesar training list. It seems that his hope is very slim. Unless he has the opportunity to change his impression and positioning in Yang Cheng's mind, he is likely to miss Caesar's national team, at least Sven Bend and Tresch are ranked higher than him!"

After the European Cup qualifiers, all the events in Group A were over.

The German team played two games, defeating Belgium and Azerbaijan 1:0 and 7:0 respectively, and temporarily ranked first in the group. Turkey defeated Kazakhstan and Belgium 3:0 and 3:2 respectively, respectively, and ranked second in the group.

Austria defeated Kazakhstan 2:0, ranking third in the group with one round less.

After the two-week national team match day in September, the German team will disband in Kaiserslautern on the spot, but the national team will also regroup when the national leagues are suspended and prepare for the European Cup qualifiers.

Germany will face Turkey, the strongest opponent in the group, at home on October 8, and then challenge Kazakhstan away on October 12. The former is also the most eye-catching key showdown in the group, especially after Belgium suffered two consecutive losses, the strongest competitor in the group, is undoubtedly Türkiye.

The strength of this team cannot be underestimated at all. When Yang Cheng was playing in the qualifiers, he did not forget to arrange scouts to follow up and investigate Turkey's two games against Belgium and Kazakhstan, and submitted a detailed game report.

Only by winning Turkey can the German team be in a relatively favorable situation in Group A, and they must be the first in the group to ensure their qualifying.

But just after the team was disbanded, the media began to hype Yang Cheng's second phase of Caesar.

Judging from these two games, Yang Cheng's main lineup is already very clear. Neuer has firmly stood firm, and Ram, Kyle and Mertsacker are also very strong on the defense line. Jerome Boateng, who was originally regarded as being to be taken by Yang Cheng, now steadily occupies the position of the main right-back and performs very steadily.

With the configuration of double midfielders, Schweiingsteiger was very strong after being liberated, especially in this game against Azerbaijan. As he actively assumed some leadership responsibilities, the team built a midfielder around him. This was a consensus among everyone. Yang Cheng equipped Schweiingsteiger with a defensive partner, which was also a consensus.

Tresch is good at abilities, but Sven Bend is in good shape. Both of them may become Schweinsteiger's partner, and Khedira will leave the national team. This is also a consensus. It is obvious that this player is no longer favored by Yang Cheng.

Once the emperor and the ministers, the darling of the Loeve era may not be able to continue to gain favor in the Caesar era.

In terms of attacking forwards, Thomas Muller's performance is eye-catching and worthy of recognition. Klose has always remained stable. Ozil is the team's frontcourt core, and Deisler has a significant role. These four players can be said to occupy the main position, but Yang Cheng is also optimistic about Tony Klos and Mario Gotze, and these players are likely to continue to be selected.

There is no problem with Gomez being selected on the front line, while Podolsky is trying to show his form in the club. As for the team's nominal captain Barak, there are many possibilities for continuing to be selected, because Yang Cheng specially named and praised Barak's role in this national team at a press conference after the Azerbaijan game.

The two young players, Bad Stuber and Hummels, will also continue to be selected, both of whom are players selected by Yang Cheng.

"According to the observation of the reporter, Yang Cheng called out several stops during training, reminding and criticizing Badstuber and Hummels. This is obviously evidence that he is dissatisfied with the two players, but it is precisely because of this that proves Yang Cheng's appreciation and cultivation of these two players. Perhaps Yang Cheng hopes that they can become the backbone of the national team's defense in the next few years. After all, Kyle is not young, and he has suffered a lot of injuries recently, so he must prepare early."

According to media speculation, Yang Cheng was not involved, and he has not yet drawn up a specific candidate. It is only that some people will leave and some people will stay. This is certain, but the specific situation must be determined based on the players' status in the league.

This is what it means to play in the qualifiers. Those players in good condition are required to play when they come, without any adjustments and running-in time. (To be continued...)
