858 Unexpected gains

Tony Klos, a player from East Germany, was trained in Greifswald's youth team. His father was the coach of the youth team here, and he also made his mark there.

He will never forget that when he was young, once when Yang Cheng led the Football Association youth training team to Greifswald for inspection, he took the initiative to ask for an autograph like Yang Cheng. That was his first face-to-face contact with Yang Cheng. He felt great at that time.

He still retains the book that Yang Cheng signed for him at that time. It was the cognitive training of Monitz and Murenstin. The title page contains the signature and hopes that Yang Cheng wrote to him at that time. [For Tony Close, the best player in Germany in the future!].

The hope from idols made Tony Klos completely stunned. He also reached a tacit understanding with Yang Cheng at that time, that is, practice and play well, improve his strength, and play football for Yang Cheng's team in the future.

At that time, the little kid's idea was very simple. When he got old, he left his hometown and went to Kaiserslautern to play for Yang Cheng's team and became the best player in Germany. However, unexpectedly, he followed his father to join Rostock's youth team, and then he went to Bayern Munich.

Yang Cheng's resume is even more legendary and brilliant. He led Kaiserslautern to create a miracle of winning the championship. The next year, he led Kaiserslautern to defeat Manchester United and Bayern, becoming an unprecedented triple-champion in German football history. Then he went to Inter Milan and led this declining Blue and Black team to create an epic dynasty.

At Liverpool, Yang Cheng led the team to rise again and became one of the most powerful teams in football today. Then he went to Real Madrid, the greatest giant on the planet, where he reached the peak and peak of his life career.

Tony Close never forgets the wishes and goals he set back then. He began to polish his skills since he was a child. He practiced repeatedly. His skills are the most outstanding among his peers. Under the craftsmanship of his father, he learned how to play football smarter and more creatively since he was a child.

The only regret is that he has never been able to play for Yang Cheng's team.

But just when he thought he had no chance, Yang Cheng took charge of the German national team. This news made him almost laugh, but Thomas Mueller was right. He must strengthen his strength, improve his shortcomings, and make himself more adapted to Yang Cheng's tactical requirements. Only in this way can he become a player Yang Cheng trusts.

"Will I play football for you then, Mr. Yang Cheng?"

"Okay, when you practice your skills and body, I will let you start!"

Maybe Yang Cheng himself has forgotten all the simple words, but Tony Close remembers them in his heart, because he always regards Yang Cheng's words as Yang Cheng's promise to him back then, and urges himself to make progress and strengthen his strength. He insists on it no matter how hard or tired he is.

So this time, as soon as he replaced Podolsky, he performed very positively. Tony Close remembers that Yang Cheng asked him to assist Schweinsteiger, and the Piglets were the main core of this team. Tony Close knew very clearly, so he did not forget his responsibilities.

His first touch in this game happened after Schweinsteiger stepped forward. A German attack suddenly entered Turkey's penalty area, but the pass was cut off and the ball was given to Shahin's feet. The latter was about to strike back, but Tony Klos immediately entangled Shahin.

Although the referee finally blew a foul whistle and signaled that Tony Close would make a defensive foul, he did not give a warning or a yellow card, but instead signaled that Turkey had a set-piece opportunity in the half-time, which was very small, but their counterattack was declared premature.

"Good job, Tony!" Schweiingsteiger was startled just now, so when he passed by, he praised Tony Close. This kid knew how to delay the attack for himself and to stumbling his opponent. It was good.

Tony Close nodded happily, turned his head and swept towards Yang Cheng on the sidelines. The latter also smiled and gave a thumbs up. This made Tony Close feel happy because he could get Yang Cheng's recognition.

Soon, Schweinsteiger's forward insertion again caused the offense to be unfavorable in the frontcourt. Thomas Muller was unable to form an effective attack after getting the ball. When he was about to fall into the encirclement, Tony Klos appeared in a critical position and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The ball fell to Tony Klos's feet. He skillfully controlled the ball under his feet, slowed down the attack, and then found an opportunity to pass it accurately to Ozil on the right with a medium-length pass.

After Ozil got the ball at this position, he could have effectively formed a one-on-one breakthrough, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to pass the ball, which delayed the opportunity and led to Klose running for sprints in vain.

"Mesut seems to have a little physical phobia now!" Yang Cheng shook his head and said.

Benitez also nodded, "His transformation came a little early, he was lazy in the style of playing, so he had to beat him!"

Usually, players are transformed in the later stages of their careers and their bodies are on a downward trend, but Ozil is only 22 years old now, with good speed and strong breakthrough ability. It is a bit too early to take Kaka's transformation route. It is probably related to his excessive violation and a little fear, and his desire to play football in a more comfortable way.

"When I look back, I will let Kyle carefully craft him. When I return to Real Madrid, I will let Pepe, Ramos and Mascherano play against him!" Yang Cheng smiled so hard that he was insidious.

Paul Baier, who was standing beside him, was stunned, "Are you planning to kill him?"

Although Kyle has strong organizational skills, his football style is still very aggressive and has many small moves. Any player of this type is like this, and Redondo was the same back then. As for Pepe, Ramos and Mascherano, they are both difficult opponents. I'm afraid Ozil will not be willing to fight with this group of teammates if he is killed.

"Hey, Paul, you can't say that. You want to be lazy at a young age. If this kid doesn't abuse it hard, you won't be able to succeed!" Yang Cheng said with a righteous voice, as if everything he did was for Ozil, but his smile was indescribable, and 80% of this guy wanted to watch the show.

"Where did he offend you?" Paul Bayer supported his compatriots.

"He offended me everywhere!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile, as if he was not afraid of boiling water.

Ozil on the court didn't know that he was going to be sold by Yang Cheng, but he was still spinning slowly.

Ozil's slowness is somewhat disguised, because he is not an organizer and the rhythm is not controlled by him, so he can move according to his own ideas. He seems very slow, but in fact he is looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense, and at the same time weakens the attention of the defensive players.

The ball was passed back and forth on the left, with Schweinsteiger joining, the German team's left offense improved greatly, Ram received more support, and Sven Bend made up for him, so that he could devote himself to the offense, and the threat was even greater.

However, when the German team's left offensive gradually emerged, Turkey's defense was paying more and more attention. Hiddink replaced a defensive player, further strengthening its right defense and restraining the German team's left offensive.

After stabilizing the situation and controlling the game, Tony Close, in addition to helping Schweinsteiger fill up and support, also began to free up his hands and actively seek more offensive contributions.

Two midfielders from Bayern Munich looked tacit. Schweinsteiger stepped forward and Tony Klos made up for him. Schweinsteiger took the initiative to help Tony Klos defend, providing him with a safe and reliable defensive environment, so that Tony Klos can also display his creativity and passing ability.

When the ball came from Ram's feet to Schweinsteiger, Tony Close was on the right side of the piglet. Schweinsteiger was restricted and could not turn around after taking the ball with his back. He passed the ball back and knocked it back to Tony Close.

Tony Klos always raised his head, and he noticed Ozil's movement. The latter slowly moved from the right to the middle, but the Turkish defender seemed to have not noticed his movement. It was also a pity that this kid was too smart and walked slowly, as if he was lazy.

Another noteworthy signal is Klose. He seemed to be moving a little to the left consciously, which immediately made Tony Klose understand that Klose was going to pull a gap for Ozil.

Thinking of this, Tony Klos immediately dribbled the ball from Schweinsteiger. As soon as he accelerated, Kloser was the first to move and ran out of the penalty area, diverting the attention of the two central defenders. After all, they were all worried that Kloser would take the ball and make the ball at the front of the penalty area. This is the most threatening skill of the German striker.

Almost at the same time, Ozil also moved, but he quickly started to the left at a 45-degree direction.

Tony Klos passed the ball straight and stuffed it into Turkey's penalty area from the Turkish central defender. Ozil inserted it diagonally behind Turkey. After getting the ball, he formed a single sword. When he met the goalkeeper who attacked, he easily sent the ball into Turkey's goal!

"goallllllllllllllll!!! From Tony Klos, a straight pass with imagination! Ozil scored the third goal of this game, and his second goal in this game!"

Ozil, who scored twice, seemed very excited. He rushed out of the penalty area and rushed directly to the corner flagpole to celebrate with great affection. Beside him, his teammates rushed up one by one and threw Ozil on the grass on the sidelines.

Yang Cheng on the sidelines was happy when he saw Ozil score, but soon he calmed down.

"This goal is worth pondering!" Benitez obviously had the same thoughts as Yang Cheng.

The latter kept nodding. In fact, after Tony Close came on the court, his interaction with Schweinsteiger in the midfield left a deep impression on Yang Cheng, because he felt that the two players were very co-starring to some extent.

Schweinsteiger's strengths are running and comprehensive, and he can play at any position. Tony Close's advantages are organization, passing and creativity, as well as his good sense of position, and both have excellent long-range shooting and scoring ability.

Schweinsteiger's forward insertion and Tony Close's replacement for him can make Schweinsteiger have no worries to the greatest extent, but Schweinsteiger's counterattack on the spot and his investment in defense and interception can also ensure that Tony Close's more relaxed environment to play.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly laughed, "An unexpected gain!"

Benitez also nodded frequently. Sometimes some of the head coach's ideas and inspirations are reflected through some details in the game. Although Tony Klos's game ability is still lacking and insufficient, Schweinsteiger also has flaws in some aspects, but a head coach should look at the long-term, not the present.

"In the next game, let's try something fresh!" Yang Cheng looked at Benitez, full of instigation.

The fourth leg was a away challenge to Kazakhstan. To be honest, Yang Cheng had no pressure in this game. He felt that it was not a big problem for the German team to win Kazakhstan, and it was a big problem for him to not win, so he wanted to try his new ideas.

"Will you be a little anxious?" Paul Bayer was cautious.

"Is there any better training opponent than Kazakhstan?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Benitez nodded, "Azerbaijan is good!"

Yang Cheng laughed, "Fugatz will kill you, Rafa, you are humiliating him naked!"

Both of them laughed, and Paul Bayer smiled helplessly, feeling that the gods would have a headache when they saw these two guys.

Yang Cheng has many ideas and a keen sense of competition. He often produces wonderful ideas based on some subtle points in the competition, which can always bring great help. However, Yang Cheng sometimes seems anxious. He always wants to confirm his ideas immediately, just like a child who can't wait to get his favorite toys.

Of course, there are fewer and fewer things that can give Yang Cheng the impatient feeling. Football and sports cars are the two most important ones.

…………

…………

After the German team scored its third goal, the game had completely lost its suspense.

With 10 minutes left, it is impossible for Türkiye to reverse the score, and it is even tied. Judging from the situation on the scene, the difficulty is also very high.

Yang Cheng began to make substitution adjustments, and replaced Ozil who scored twice with Gotze, so that the kid could accept the booing of all the fans. Yes, yes, it was booing, because the group of Turkish fans wanted to swallow Ozil alive to relieve their hatred. The poor elf king had to accept such cruel treatment when he scored twice.

"Boss, I think you did it on purpose!" As soon as Ozil came over, he looked sad and resentful, and he was like an angry young wife.

Yang Cheng didn't defend himself and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Ozil looked up at the stands and found that the Turkish fans were still booing and scolding. He lowered his head and smiled secretly, "It's satisfying!"

Yang Cheng laughed and said nothing, asking Ozil to go back and rest first.

Following closely behind, Yang Cheng replaced Kyle with Bad Stuber, which is also a young player Yang Cheng focused on cultivating. He has good ball-holding ability and is in line with Yang Cheng's requirements for the central defender. He has always hoped that Bad Stuber will observe Kyle's game style, especially Kyle's ball-holding and organization on the defense line, and also assisting in defense and repurchasing.

These things cannot be effective in a short period of time, but Kyle, who is over 30 years old, is definitely not the goal that Yang Cheng can hold high expectations, because Yang Cheng is not sure what level he can still achieve in four years, so he must consider Kyle's successor in this position.

Hummels is very capable, but the game is a bit frivolous. Yang Cheng has repeatedly carved the central defender during the training of the national team. He felt that Hummels can effectively put pressure on Mertesak, and the central defender can also play as a midfielder and take the ball. There are no major problems in the technical and defensive aspects. Apart from the common problem of a tall player with slow speed, he has almost no shortcomings.

But this player cannot withstand the pressure on the spiritual level. Paul Bayer said that Hummels' performance in many key games is average, or can be said to be sluggish, which is something that Yang Cheng must pay attention to.

Of course, he was not worried about it at all, because he knew very well that it could be improved.

As long as the German team forms a belief, all players entering this team will be infected, just like an army, the team spirit is the most important, so what Yang Cheng is now most important is to create the team spirit of this German team.

Only with the soul of the team can it be called an iron army!

The advantage is that the soul of this German team does not need to be rebuilt, it just needs to be retrieved.

While Yang Cheng was thinking, the players on the court scored another goal.

Thomas Muller got a chance on the left, crossed the penalty area, and Kloze headed the ball to win another goal for the German team. 4:0, Turkey was beaten by the German team in the whole game without any temper, especially from the last stage of the first half to the end of the second half.

Hiddink's several substitution adjustments have not achieved any effect, and people's hearts have been dispersed. Any tactical adjustments and commands will lose the effect they should have, because the players no longer work together to win the game.

For a team, there is no more terrible failure than this!

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Yang Cheng smiled and greeted Hiddink. After the two of them said a few words, Hiddink, who was lacking in interest, left. He could be said to have lost to Yang Cheng in this game, but this is somewhat related to the fact that there are too few cards in his hand.

To be honest, although Turkey is the biggest enemy of the German team in this group, wherever its strength is, as long as the German team does not have any accidents, it is a steady matter to defeat the opponent. No matter how good Hiddink performs, it cannot change this fact. Moreover, Yang Cheng has never been a guy who is easily upset.

In this way, amid the referee's whistle, the booing of tens of thousands of Turkish fans at the scene, and the cheers and celebrations from the German team, the German team defeated Turkey 4:0, winning one of the most powerful opponents in the group, and winning three consecutive victories in the group!
