After realizing that he could not convince Beckenbauer to change his mind, George decisively gave up his plan to continue persuasion and instead talked to the football emperor about the ongoing match between Germany and Australia on the court.

Some people may think that George's approach lacks patience and perseverance, and it is too easy to give up when encountering difficulties, but don't forget that Beckenbauer is a great man who was able to get the nicknames of "Emperor of Football" and "Emperor of Caesar" in his player age, and has achieved extremely outstanding results in many positions such as head coach, club chairman and Football Association chairman. A person like this, his willpower and self-confidence are naturally far beyond ordinary people. This makes it difficult for him to easily change his mind by external influences once he makes up his mind on something.

In such a situation, George naturally had no need to entangle Beckenbauer over this issue. Because if he did this, it would only make Beckenbauer feel bored, and it might even have a serious negative impact on the two's personal relationship!

"George, what do you think of this German team now? Do you have any hope of achieving a good result in next year's World Cup?" Looking at the German player who was indistinguishable from Australia on the court, Beckenbauer's tone seemed a little melancholy when he spoke. You know, Klinsmann was able to become the head coach of the German national team with his strong recommendation. As a result, although the Golden Bombers made drastic reforms after taking office, the report card he handed over was really lacking, and his tough attitude and offensive character attracted him countless scoldings and doubts. Therefore, this Federation Cup is not only a test of Germany's preparations for next year's World Cup, but it is actually more like a German Football Association's assessment of Klinsmann's work this year!

In other words, if Klinsmann cannot be in this Federation Cup, then the former football superstar will be immediately attacked by those in the Football Association who are dissatisfied with his reform measures, and demand that Klinsmann, who has touched too much of their interests, be dismissed immediately and will be replaced by the more pleasing Summer!

Although German football is extremely united outside, their internal strife has always been very serious. As early as the 1970s, the Borussia Mönchengladbach led by Nezer, Heinx, Bonhof and the Bayern team led by Gede Muller and Beckenbauer fought for the right to speak in the locker room. The situation is even better than thirty years ago. Not only did the national team become lifeless due to the failure of the European Cup, but the German Football Association also had many contradictions (about this point, it can be seen from the time Walfield and Zwanziger were co-shoulder). Therefore, the German team that Klinsman took over can be said to be an absolute mess!

"Franz, to be honest, in my opinion, if Germany wants to get out of the troughs of these years as soon as possible and achieve good results in next year's World Cup, then it must be given the greatest trust and support to Klinsman!" Hearing the little distrust of Klinsman in Beckenbauer's tone, George hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "You should be very clear about what kind of bad cards Klinsman got when he took office. Now is the most critical stage of reform. If you give up your support at this time, then German football will still face a crushing defeat in next year's World Cup!"

In George's view, the duo of Klinsmann and Loeff can be said to be the best coaching combination of the German national team since Beckenbauer. With such an excellent coaching partner, George feels that he should let them shine as much as they deserve, rather than selfishly, trying to destroy them in advance before they prove their abilities!

As a player, he has played in the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga, four of the five major European leagues, and have achieved great success. After retiring, he has become a former football superstar in the American sports industry, Klinsmann's vision is much higher than most of his local peers. Therefore, after picking up the coaching stick of the German national team, he clearly realized that Germany has now reached a time when all aspects must be reformed. The most important thing is that Klinsmann knows how to reform to save this German team that is in a downturn, and knows how to use his prestige during his player period to tie the entire team together!

Therefore, Klinsmann asked for the monopoly of power when negotiating contracts with the Football Association and comprehensively transformed the national team according to his own ideas. For example, a large number of non-Bayern players (such as Mertsack, Kulanyi, Flins, etc.) were used to recruit Loew, who was in the trough of his coaching career, as the national team assistant coach, and appointed Bierkhov as the first team leader of the German national team in history, and even invited three non-football-professional physical coaches from the United States to join the coaching staff!

In George's previous life, it was precisely the cooperation between the two of them and the new professional concepts and training methods introduced by Klinsmann, that German football was able to get out of the painful shadow of being eliminated in the 2004 European Cup group stage in just two years, and won the third place in the World Cup held locally, thus opening the road to revival of German football!

You should know that the explosion of the younger generation in Germany was around 2008. There were actually not many high-quality newcomers available in the two years that Klinsman coached. This shows the powerful power of this coaching combination and Klinsman’s training method!

"Since George, you admire Klinsman's abilities so much, it seems that I should be more patient." Beckenbauer still trusts George's vision and character quite well. The football emperor knew that the other party would not disdain to fool him in such matters. Or rather, he knew that with George's extremely talented personality, it was almost impossible to do something that deliberately ruined people's future for his own selfish interests!

Of course, the German team showed a very different vitality and offensive football style in the game today, which was also another important reason why the football emperor changed his mind - in just one year, Klinsmann brought such obvious changes to the national team. So how many surprises can he bring to German football by the time the World Cup opens next year?

In this way, when Germany, who was fighting at home, narrowly defeated Australia four-to-three and got their good start in the Federation Cup, Beckenbauer finally made up his mind to support Klinsmann and carry out this tactical reform to the end!
