Super Coach

Teresopolis is a small mountain city located in the north of Rio de Janeiro. It is also the highest altitude and the most beautiful place in Rio State. The annual temperature is around 22 degrees. It is not humid and surrounds the rolling mountains. Beauty is moving.

This is a famous resort for Brazilians, and it is also a pilgrimage place for countless Brazilian fans.

Since 1987, the training camp of the Brazilian national team has been arranged on the mountainside in the south of the city.

If you look at it from a satellite map, you can see that there is a training ground in the middle of the mountainside in the south of Teresopolis, two rows of short bungalows, and an interesting row of CBF fonts composed of yellow flowers. There is a feeling that seems to be seen by aliens.

Bedrooms, cafeterias, gyms, dressing rooms, recreation rooms, physiotherapists … This training base represents almost the most modern football in Brazil. This is the heart of the Brazilian national team, because here, Brazil has a team A strong and unmatched team, this is also the dream palace of countless Brazilian superstars.

During the World Cup, all fans were stopped outside of the narrow car road that snaked around, and were prohibited from going up the mountain, because no one knew whether there were rival scouts among the fanatic fans, and Scolari was even more Even the pedestrian walkways that some mountaineering enthusiasts often take are closed.

In his words, it is necessary to use all means to close the training base!

There is a row of short bungalows outside the training ground. A series of departments such as archives, recovery rooms, press rooms, and lounges are here. In front of the short bungalows, five tall flagpoles stand, and international flags are hung respectively on the flagpoles. The Football League, the Brazilian flag, the Brazilian Football Association, the Rio State flag and the city flag of Teresopolis. Below the flagpole is a long concrete base with five stars on it, which reads [Five Crowns], and then It records the year in which Brazil won the World Cup five times.

Although it is hot summer, the wind is strong in the mountains. The flag on the five-pole flagpole blew, but he couldn’t blow away the sorrow and melancholy in Scolari’s heart.

The Brazilian coach stood in front of the flagpole, looking at the five flags and the five stars on the base under the flag. One of them is from his handwriting, which is the greatest pride of his life, and he is very eager to have the opportunity to engrave a star on this base, which is the biggest after he took over the Brazilian national team. wish.

But he knew very well in his heart that he had to do this. It’s hard!

Another coach, Pereira, also came out of the short bungalow and slowly walked to Scolari. I do n’t know if it was because one of the five stars belonged to him. Larry Du likes to stand here and count the stars silently.

“Klose scored!” Pereira said helplessly.

Scolari flashed a trace of regret and disappointment, it was difficult to speak for a long time, and finally spit out a sentence, or swearing.

“True ***!”

It looks like he is really in a bad mood. Oops, he didn’t even watch the live broadcast just now, he just saw Thomas Mueller scored his first goal, and then he knew the result of the game. I left the office directly and came here to look at the five flags and count the stars, as if hoping to count and suddenly add one more.

The semi-finals started at 5 pm. At the end, it was exactly when the sunset was over, and the West was bloody.

“Is Klose in a good state?” Scolari remained silent for a while before suddenly asking again.

Pereira shook his head, “It doesn’t look big. It should be more general. The goal is that Ram did not score a penalty. He made a shot from the empty goal and did not have much technical content, but … his tactical effect was not good. , But look at me. Yang Cheng may not use him, his physical fitness must not be able to adapt to the game! “

“Then do you think the first half or the second half? The starting or the bench?” Scolari sighed again.

Pereira couldn’t answer this because he wasn’t a roundworm in Yang Cheng’s stomach at all, he didn’t know what Yang Cheng was thinking about, and because Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro had a bit Distance, it is not convenient to go back and forth, so Scolari decided they would not go to the scene to watch the ball, and she did n’t know many details.

After all, the live broadcast has almost no effect on them, so wait for further information from scouts.

“It’s not like when the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Ronaldo came back from injury and performed very well. He led the team to the finals all the way and encountered the German team. The German core Barack missed the final and we defeated 2: 0 Opponents, smooth cups, and the situation is similar to the current one, a bit like … Samsara! “

Scolari ’s words were full of sighs, because after the game with England, he received a bad news, Kaka was injured, destined to miss the finals, which also means that this name is almost It is said that a person who propped up this Brazilian team and led the team to the final will leave the World Cup!

At the time, Scolari took the young Kaka to the World Cup in Korea and Japan, and now the old Kaka took Scolari’s Brazil team to the finals all the way, all of which made Scolari full Sigh.

Pereira knows clearly that there is not much chance of winning in Brazil, whether playing Spain or Germany.

From the perspective of professionals, the Brazil team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa should be the most promising to win the cup. Dunga’s team is very good in all aspects. At that time, there was Marcelo on the left and Maicon on the right. Tiago Silva and Lucio sit in the middle of the road, and the defense is very strong.

Midfielders include veterans such as Gilberto Silva and Kaka. In addition, stars such as Nilma, Pato, Fabiano and Robinho are in full swing, but now … Look at this Brazil team, in addition to Kaka in the frontcourt, there are several top players who can handle it?

Looked at Scolari beside him, and Pereira knew how much pressure he had.

The 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan won Scolari ’s reputation to a huge height. It was not easy for Brazil to get this trophy at that time. Maybe some people think that Brazil is lucky and did not encounter many powerful opponents, but One thing is absolutely beyond doubt, that is, Scolari’s 3R tactics have changed the Brazilian national team in the future to a large extent.

European practical tactics. Triangle match offense, these have become the symbol of the Brazilian national team!

Some people may think that such a Brazilian team loses the taste of the Samba team, but such a Brazilian team is more likely to win the championship. It is more in line with the current football trend, and there is no doubt about this.

It’s just that after so many years, Brazil’s talent pool is still adjusting, and it will take a while!

No need to doubt Brazil’s youth training ability, because the youth training in this country is always the strongest in the world, only in the past period of time. The trained players including Ganso, Douglas, William and others are embarrassed. It is a tragedy of the transformation of Brazilian football style. In a few years, the situation will be much better.

Therefore, in recent years, Brazil is not without talents, but with no suitable talents!

Is precisely because of this, so the Brazilian Football Association will decide to return to Scolari. I hope he can reorganize Brazil’s tactics, but even if Scolari is excellent, he can’t change the current lack of excellent players in Brazil.

Or should be said. Scolari has done so well so far!

Many words, as the head coach, Scolari and Pereira are unable to say, but they understand that they do not know what the current situation is all about, and the outside world also understands that the semifinals of Germany and Spain were It is called an early championship battle. Is this unfounded speculation?

Thinking of this, Pereira patted Scolari on the shoulder. The old-fashioned sigh sighed, looking in the direction of the flag, just facing the north, “The game of Belo Horizonte should have ended … When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Everyone in the German coaching district and on the bench rushed into the stadium. All of them rushed to the players they knew, and then picked them up one by one and hugged them together.

This is only a semi-final, but it gives the impression that the German players seem to have won a final.

“Congratulations to the German team, a very fierce game. They finally eliminated Spain 2-0 with the goals of Thomas Mueller and Klose and successfully entered the final of the World Cup. In the final, They will encounter the host Brazil team! “

“The German team’s performance in this game is very stable. The whole game has achieved a good advantage, especially in suppressing Spain’s midfield. The German team has done a good job, but the strength of both sides is relatively close. Yang Cheng The team is more in tactical execution and targeted, restrained Spain. “

“There should be many people who feel sorry for this, because with the strength of these two teams, they should have met in the finals, but unfortunately, they met early in the semi-finals, which is also a tournament system. A place where people love and hate, but no matter what, we should continue to look forward to the finals! “

The live TV footage also moved from the player to Yang Cheng, and he saw him sitting in front of his coach seat, rubbing his hands hard, as if it was sweat on the back of the hand, but because of the lens, so It ’s not clear.

“This is the second World Cup final led by Yang Cheng. At the World Cup in South Africa 4 years ago, Yang Cheng was ordered to take over the German national team. He led the team from the group to the finals, but In the end, he lost to Spain in the finals, which he himself called the worst loss in his career! “

“The way is painful and painful. After the World Cup, Yang Cheng reorganized the team and recruited a group of veterans to let this young team mature and stabilize in the shortest time, and finally defeated Spain in 2012. , Successfully won the European Cup, and then defeated Spain again last year to get the Confederations Cup! “

“After losing the World Cup four years ago, Yang Cheng made a bold statement, threatening to win the World Cup championship four years later, and developed a four-year plan for the German national team. Now four years have passed. , We see that the German team has become the most powerful and competitive team in football today, defeating Spain one after another, making this team has become the number one hot spot in the World Cup, all of which let us see It’s Yang Cheng’s coaching ability! “

Yang Cheng was sitting there, bending over, looking at the stadium, a little dazed, and his hair was gray and wavy. Because everyone knows that the head coach is definitely the most tormenting job, and when this scene is captured by the camera and appears on the big screen on the scene. Countless fans have been moved.

Especially old German fans, they ca n’t forget that in the distant last century, when Kaiserslautern announced a new head coach to replace Krauchen, they were still skeptical because they had never heard of it at all. This name, and they are also doubting, a Chinese. A head coach from a weak football country, who is so scary and young, how can he qualify as the Bundesliga Red Devils? Why stand on the German professional league?

But today, more than ten years later, looking back at that year, all of them felt glad, for the courage of Kaiserslautern at that time, and for the keen eyes of Beckenbauer, Fortunately, there was such a wise group in the German Football Association. Officials who dare to hire people.

They will never forget this person, because it was him who brought the rebirth of German football!

“Caesar! Caesar !!! Caesar !!!”

From the stands, a sparse group of fans started shouting Yang Cheng’s name. The voice grew louder and louder, and finally swept through the entire Minello stadium. All the fans shouted the name of their most respected head coach.

This scene will appear after almost every World Cup game, but this game is especially warm!

Bosk walked slowly to the German coach seat and came to Yang Cheng. The latter raised his head and glanced at his old friend. Bosk smiled and then sat down next to Yang Cheng.

“Not convinced?” Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Bosk chuckled. “Nothing is unconvincing. If you lose, you lose. There is no way you can’t be as good as others!”

Yang Cheng sighed, Spain’s face is indeed the best, the player strength is also the best, but this team must now be reorganized. Especially in the midfield, after losing Harvey Alonso and Harvey, Iniesta is not too young, these must be reorganized in the shortest time.

“I have always insisted that Spain’s midfielder should be Della Red. Although his offensive ability and scoring ability are good, he is the only midfielder in Spain who can reassure him. Skates played well with the weak team, but once strangled, the flaws were completely exposed! “

Spain has been eliminated, and Yang Cheng doesn’t need to hide anything.

Busquets is a type that has very obvious advantages and disadvantages. He is a player born to cater to the Barcelona ball control system, but once such players reach the national team, once the disadvantages are exposed, it is fatal!

The midfielder position is a key area of ​​defense. The defense of the opponent’s deep offense must rely on the midfielder, but Busquets is not doing well enough at this point, at least does not match with other links such as Spain.

If Yang Cheng is chosen, the position of the midfielder should be the kind of player who does not seek meritoriousness, but seeks for the unprecedented, because even if such a player does not have a very eye-catching performance, there will never be too many mistakes that can make you Put the protection in front of the line of defense in his hands with confidence.

Is like the German team, Hudila is excellent? Personal ability to stabilize voltage and stability? Bend!

But why does Yang Cheng always trust Sven? Bend puts Hedila on the bench? It ’s because Hedira ’s advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, but Sven? Bend belongs to the more comprehensive player without too obvious defects. Such players may not be able to provide the help of Hedira on the offensive end, but they can Provide the team with a more stable midfielder.

Asking myself, Yang Cheng felt that the gap with Germany in the Luff period was not particularly large on the offensive end, and it could even be said to be a draw, but the good thing about him is that he let the German team truly achieve the offensive and defensive. Balanced, he provided a stable and orderly defense system for the German team’s midfield and backcourt.

Because the midfield and backcourt are solid, the German team’s offense looks sharper and more powerful!

“Think about how to play in the finals of the third or fourth place?” Yang Cheng saw Tony? Grande also came over. When he came near, he asked with a smile.

Tony? Grande did n’t know where Yang Cheng ’s **** was retaliating, and he immediately shook his head with a chuckle, anyway, he was used to the style of this guy next to the must-have, but had to say, lose this game, they lost Take it orally.

For coaches at their level, losing is not an unacceptable thing, because there are losses to win, sometimes losing a game will expose more problems, so they do not resist losing ball.

Of course, they still feel sorry for losing this semifinal, but they will not be sad!

“Remember the one I mentioned to you? Playing in England, just play according to my proposal, and I guarantee you won the third place in the World Cup!” Yang Cheng was a bit unreasonable.

“Get off!” Bosque couldn’t eat this time, and stood up directly. “Since your kid has entered the finals, he can’t lose to Brazil, and I also heard that Kaka’s injury is not bad. I’m afraid I want to end this early. It ’s the World Cup, if your kid loses like this, then you can just go home! “

Yang Cheng also smiled and nodded and stood up, “Since entering the finals, I will never let the champion fall from my hands this time. You remember to come and watch the game, I will let them leave you tickets! “

Said this with a smile, but it has such a taste that it is difficult to give up.

“Okay, definitely!” Bosque blinked. He could hear something and nodded. (To be continued)
