886 Iron Fist Rectification
We are about to go to Austria, but all the German internationals are surprised and wondering why they suddenly said they were going to have a meeting? Are you not worried that they will not be able to catch up with the game to Austria?
When they walked into the conference room, they saw head coach Yang Cheng sitting in the middle with a blue face next to him, with national team leader Bierkhov, who also had a bad face. Steiner, head of the news department of the German Football Association, probably came back from Frankfurt, and the national team's nominal captain Barack...
The conference room was not big, but it was enough, and the atmosphere was very strange, which made everyone who walked in felt uncomfortable for a while.
Perhaps because of the stiffness of the atmosphere, all the players began to notice the difference after they came in, and immediately became more important and began to find their seats to sit down according to the seats they had adjusted on weekdays. But as soon as they sat down, Yang Cheng immediately opened fire.
"Everyone who has accepted media interviews without my permission, made remarks on national team affairs, and any remarks on Weibo involving national teams will be given out for me!" He stood up with a pale face, pointed to the gate of the conference room, and shouted loudly.
Since Yang Cheng took over the national team, the discipline requirements are more strict than Lölv, and he gave him a lot of them. On the first day, the management was more or less humane. As long as the bottom line was not involved, they were relatively relaxed. Now it suddenly became so strict that everyone was shocked and realized that this time he was determined to completely rectify the national team.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Yang Cheng emphasized, "Whoever accepts interviews with reporters without permission and publishes remarks about the national team on the media and Weibo, all of them go out, and you are deprived of the qualification to go to Austria!"
The originally noisy conference room immediately became silent, and everyone looked at him with a serious expression. Many people even changed their faces because many of them participated in this incident.
"Michal!" Yang Cheng glared at Barack angrily. "What is the third rule of the national team locker room?"
"Privately accept media interviews without permission and leak internal affairs of the national team!" Barack immediately stood up.
"When did you order?" Yang Cheng asked again.
Barack hesitated for a moment, "During the World Cup in South Africa!"
"You can't be unaware of the rules. But there are still people who were interviewed by reporters in private three days ago and commented on their teammates of the national team. I don't care whether the comments are good or bad, and if you accept the interview without my permission, you are violating the rules!"
There was only Yang Cheng's voice in the silent conference room, and everyone seemed very nervous. His face was solemn.
"I was very disappointed with you. I originally thought you were no longer the lazy garbage team I used to be, but now it seems that I am very disappointed. The winning of the qualifiers made many of you start to be glamorous. This makes me wonder, what will happen when you meet Spain? What will happen when you meet a team like Real Madrid?"
The management of the national team is actually very troublesome and difficult. Because the training of the national team is short-term and comes and goes in a hurry, this makes it impossible for many management measures to be like the club. But Yang Cheng is more clear than anyone else. Without strict discipline, teams will become loose. How can they form combat effectiveness on the court?
The current German team is good at technology and can keep up with the times, but in terms of spiritual quality, tactical execution, and tenacious style, there are more than one difference, and there are several!
"Do you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?" Yang Cheng swept over the group of players and his face was still very serious.
His eyes were always patrolling the players in the conference room, giving people the feeling that they were doubting themselves anytime and anywhere, but in the end no one stood up, which disappointed Yang Cheng, shook his head and sighed. If he stood up boldly to admit, he might have another chance, but it was obvious that he had missed the last chance to save.
Yang Cheng sat down in the seat again, "I hope that each of you can realize very clearly that I not only require you to always be consistent on the court and resolutely implement the team tactics, but I also hope that you can manage yourself well off the court, because I don't believe that a person who can't even manage himself well, how can I believe that he can resolutely implement the team tactics and assume this responsibility!"
"I'm not going to imprison you, not want you to live like robots, that's not the way I want, because you are all adults, but I hope each of you can understand one thing, the interests of the team should always be put first, and you can talk to me about anything, but it should not appear in the media!"
"What I want is a group of warriors who can fight to the last second and can do anything to compete for honor, rather than a group of cowards who only know how to complain to the media!"
"Finally, I reiterate that Barack is the captain of the team, Ram and Schweinsteiger are the deputy captains of the team. I have listed the team's guidelines very clearly. When everyone is in the training camp, on the training ground, on the court, and on the court, I will expel him from the national team without hesitation, no matter who he is!"
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the conference room with anger under the gaze of all the players.
After Yang Cheng left, everyone at the scene felt relieved. They all felt that this matter should have been left alone, but unexpectedly, Barack stood up directly.
"The results of the handling are announced below!" The captain of the national team immediately surprised everyone present, but what was even more surprising was Barack's punishment announcement immediately.
"Trokhovsky, I'm sorry, you can leave the team first!"
Everyone looked at Trokhovsky in amazement. This player was a player during the World Cup and had never been selected for the national team after the World Cup. However, this time, Yang Cheng summoned him in because of his outstanding performance in the club, but now he is going to drive him out of the national team. This decision is somewhat surprising.
But judging from the expressions of Bierhoff and Steiner, they obviously knew it a long time ago, and they just announced through Barack's mouth to further consolidate Barack's position and influence in this national team.
"Kyle, Schweinsteiger, Thomas Mueller, and Gomez, for accepting interviews with reporters and posting on Weibo that violates the national team's remarks, they will be given a warning!"
All four players lowered their heads. In fact, when they were interviewed and posted on Weibo, they were more accused of Barack, but they were also punished for violating the national team's regulations. But they were not as serious as Trokhovsky. The reason was that Trokhovsky bombarded the team's tactics during the interview.
He thinks that his favorite position is the front midfielder, but in the current national team, Yang Cheng uses Ozil, or even Tony Close, which makes him unable to be included in the national team roster. This makes him feel uncomfortable, so with this Barack incident, he expressed his opinion in the media that he hopes the national team will change his tactics for him and let him play a more important role in the national team.
But it is obvious that Yang Cheng has already told him with an iron fist that he is delusional!
"I'm very glad to be in such a national team!" Barack looked at all the players below with a frank look on his face. "I know there will definitely be some of you who think that I should leave, and I used to think so. But the boss told me that he needed me, and he told me that he wanted to build a team as strong as Real Madrid. He needed my help, so I stayed without hesitation."
Everyone looked at Barack on the stage, the captain of the national team who could no longer play in the game.
"This is a team with ambitious goals. I don't know if it can be achieved. It's like when the boss was going to Kaiserslautern, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Real Madrid, no one knows whether he can achieve his goal, but I'm willing to trust him and help him!"
"You are much luckier than me because you have a group of outstanding teammates and a great head coach, so I sincerely hope that you can achieve the championship and honor that we have dreamed of, but never won."
"But I also have to remind each of you that self-discipline is a necessary quality, sacrifice and responsibility for a professional player, a necessary condition for a player to integrate into the team, and the key to building a top team. If you want to play in a strong German national team and become a part of this powerful team, then you must learn it!"
After what happened just now, all the international players began to seriously remember Barack's words word by word.
…………
…………
The national team fired Trokhovsky and warned the four players that the matter was officially announced through Steiner's press conference, and all media did find that Trokhovsky left the national team's training camp in Sinsheim early.
This surprised everyone, and at the same time, he was worried about Yang Cheng's behavior of holding up the butcher's knife before the war, worried that it would affect the combat effectiveness of the national team. After all, although Austria and the German team are not small, they are not a weak brigade at the mercy of slaughter.
As the captain of the team, Barack took the lead and accepted interviews from reporters. This was also the first time he had held a press conference as the captain of the national team after returning to the national team. He said that everyone in the national team had made all preparations.
"I believe that all national team players should understand that wearing this jersey means a country, and we must have the determination and fighting spirit to fight for it. For those who lack this understanding, we only have one word, get out!"
After hearing Barack's tough statement, all the media immediately realized one thing, that is, Yang Cheng wanted to re-establish the core of power of the national team. Players led by Barack, Ram, Schweinsteiger and others will completely become the backbone of the national team and become the absolute leader in the locker room.
However, only in this case can the locker room be twisted together under the control of absolute superior power. If they still fight each other like in the past, they will always be a mess.
After the previous turmoil and the expulsion of Trokhovsky, everyone has paid great attention to Germany's away challenge to Austria. After all, the German team is currently winning the qualifiers, but so many things have happened recently, which makes people worry about whether they will capsize in the gutter of Vienna.
In the away game against Austria, the German team did start a bad start. In the first half, Klose took the lead in using Ozil's assist to score, but was tied by Austria before the end.
During the halftime break, Yang Cheng was very dissatisfied with Hummels who made a mistake. He believed that he was too blindly chasing his personal performance in the game and rushing forward with a fever, resulting in losing his position and exposing Kyle to the opponent's fire. This caused the team to lose the ball and was in an unfavorable situation.
There is also Jerome Boateng, the player was not focused enough when he came to Hummels and did not retract his defense in time. He gave the opponent a loophole and should bear certain responsibility for conceding the goal.
After the blow after the half-time break, the team's defense improved to a certain extent in the second half, especially Jerome Boateng. This kid is indeed very good and very good at being good at it, but he is frizzy and prone to distract and make mistakes. However, as long as he concentrates, his personal strength is still very outstanding.
His kick from the right was transferred to Ram's feet, who was unmarked on the left, who assisted Thomas Mueller to score another goal for the German team, setting the victory.
2:1. The German team took away a victory from Vienna!
This is also the six-game winning streak in the European Cup qualifiers of Germany. Now the German team occupies the top spot. In addition, Turkey draws Belgium 1:1 away, and it is almost certain that the German team qualifies in the group, unless the remaining four rounds of games are lost, but the possibility is very small.
At the post-match press conference in Austria, Yang Cheng commented on the game and explained and clarified some recent events of the German team.
"We performed very badly in the first half. Although we scored first, we easily equalized the score. This is because many players were not focused enough in the game and made some mistakes, which directly led to our passiveness for a long time."
"But I'm glad we were united in the second half, and the players quickly realized their mistakes and made up for them. They clearly saw that at critical moments, only they can help themselves, and only they can lead the team to a victory."
"I want to thank all of our players, because of their tenacity, we finally defeated Austria, which gave us a certain advantage in the group rankings, but we can't be careless because we haven't steadily qualified to advance to the finals, and before the last moment, we shouldn't be careless."
Regarding Trokhovsky, Yang Cheng did not mention the reason, but said that the player was not very consistent with his team-building strategy in the national team. "Of course, I'm not saying that he will never have a chance to be selected for the national team again, because no one knows what happens in the future, but he is obviously not suitable for the team's current tactics."
Many people can hear Yang Cheng's voiceover. Since you, Trokhovsky, said that the current national team tactics are not suitable for you, then you should just leave me directly. When I want to change my tactics and think of you, I will consider calling you in again.
Of course, Trokhovsky could also stand up and say that he would retire from the national team, but does a person who dare not even admit what he said have the courage to say such extreme and firm words?
"I believe that through this incident, all national team members should have a clearer understanding, that is, joining the national team is an honor. When coming to the national team training, we are not going to enjoy the holidays, travel and feel comfortable, but to fight for the jersey they are wearing."
"So what I need is a group of brave soldiers, not a group of young men who only know how to eat, drink, play, and are timid when they encounter difficulties and give up. Such players will never appear on my team!"
"I always have only one standard for selecting players. Whether in training or on the court, every minute and every second, under any circumstances, I can do my best. Only such players are qualified to be selected for my national team!"
Yang Cheng's statement has been speculated by many media, believing that a group of international players are likely to leave the German national team because it is obvious from his remarks that they are dissatisfied with the current national team players, or it can be said that they have higher requirements.
But some media also analyzed that this is just a stage for Yang Cheng to rectify the national team. He hopes to reorganize the too loose team management and locker room attitude of the Loew period, and then to unite all the international players into a rope and transform them into a strong and powerful battle group to avoid fighting on their own.
Regarding Yang Cheng's actions, a spokesperson for the German Football Association took the lead in expressing his position, fully supporting Yang Cheng's further transformation of the national team, and firmly believes that the team will get better and better under Yang Cheng's training.
"The six consecutive wins in the European Cup qualifiers are undoubtedly a satisfactory report card. We believe that under the leadership of Mr. Yang Cheng, this German national team will become stronger and stronger. We hope to get rid of the weak state of the past when it comes to a critical battle, and then create a stronger German national team!"
Football Association Chairman Nielsbach also publicly stated, "All matters in the national team are decided by Yang Cheng. I unconditionally support his transformation of the national team. I also agree with his words very much. Only a player who sacrifices and dedicates himself to the national team can be qualified to wear the national team's jersey."
Regarding the coming FIFA presidential election, Nielsbach said that he is most optimistic about Beckenbauer defeating Blatt and being elected as FIFA president.
"Franz's governing ability is no longer a doubt. I believe he has the ability and courage to change the dark FIFA. This is undoubtedly the situation that all fans in the world want to see the most!"
After the German national team returned to Germany and disbanded, the FIFA conference was held in Zurich, Switzerland. Was challenger Beckenbauer the throne or Blatt continue to win the throne?
While media around the world were paying attention, as Beckenbauer's close friend, Yang Cheng did not participate, but instead faded out of the media's attention and chose to take a low-key vacation.
