Chapter 843： Just a breath away!

In the field of football, there have been some stories of father and son soldiers, such as AC Milan Maldini and his sons, and there are also stories of brothers working together, such as the Neville brothers of Manchester United, and even the twin brothers. Like the Dutch Debord brothers, both of them have become famous Dutch stars.

The Bender brothers were born in Rosenheim, a suburb of southeastern Munich, next door to Schweinsteiger ’s hometown of Kolbermore.

Since Kaiserslautern brought Schweinsteiger from Rosenheim to Kaiserslautern, their scouting system has paid great attention to the selection of materials in this area. The result was successful in 1999 from this One area dug into the twin brothers of the Bend family, and successfully cultivated them, became another batch of outstanding youth training masterpieces of the club.

For the Bend brothers, they are regretful, because when they came to Kaiserslautern, the greatest coach in the team ’s history has left the city, but they can get from everyone in the city. In words and deeds, I felt their respect and love for this great head coach.

They will never forget that Yang Cheng came to Kaiserslautern to watch a game and was warmly greeted by fans all over the city. That scene will not lose to the team to win the championship, which gave them a huge shock, because they all It ’s strange how much they have to contribute to the football in this city before they can get such respect.

After entering the team, they began to feel Yang Cheng's contribution to the city.

The advanced and perfect youth training system ensures that everyone in the youth training system can obtain opportunities for growth and development; the sound large-scale scout system and the nearby national youth training center are all Kaiserslaus. Teng was able to better select talents from all directions and provided convenience, which created the steady development of Kaiserslautern.

The size of the city hindered the growth of Kaiserslautern. But what Yang Cheng has done for this team has given him the foundation and strength to stand on top of the Bundesliga. And since Yang Cheng left in 1999 to the present. Kaiserslautern has won three league titles and two cup championships. His record is not insignificant. It can be called the Bundesliga except Bayern. The best results and management club.

What is even more rare is that this team has been attacked by Yang Cheng since the time of the attack. Advocating technology and creativity, making Kaiserslautern can be regarded as the most popular style among all the Bundesliga teams, which also keeps Kaiserslautern fans rising. The popularity of the club has also been greatly improved.

The peak of Kaiserslautern set off from Bellon, Fanny, Nedved and others during the Yang Cheng period. In the period of King Kaiserslautern Sanya composed of Barack, Deisler, Schweinsteiger, Kyle, etc., and now the third period composed of many club youth players such as the Bend brothers, The glory of Kaiserslautern has been sustained.

And behind all this is the contribution of that person!

"I really hope to be selected for the national team!" Big Brother Lars watched Cristiano on TV, playing? Ronaldo won the Champions League MVP, which is still playing for Kaiserslautern. As for the teenager who is not very famous, it is undoubtedly a dream. He also hopes that he will get the award one day.

"Don't be stupid, it's okay!" Sven? Bend is also a little uneasy, but it seems to be relatively easy, but if you pay attention to observe his eyes, it is not difficult to find, in fact, he is not easy at all.

"The boss and the captain are right, Caesar needs reform now, he needs more young people, and this is our opportunity!" Sven? Bender's longing analysis, "And don't forget, we have The innate advantage is that our youth training system from Kaiserslautern is something that no one else has. "

"Are you going to walk through the back door?" Lars asked his brother with a smile.

Sven? Bend grinned, "How is this possible, I just said that we understand Caesar's tactical philosophy better."

It's true, they grew up in Kaiserslautern's youth training system, and this team's youth training is in the same line with Yang Cheng, so they are in line with Yang Cheng's tactical requirements.

With Yang Cheng's 4231 frenzy, Bremer also adjusted Kaiserslautern's tactics in the past two or three seasons, turning into 45 ". Two of the midfielders who served as organizational and defensive tasks were Kyle and Sven Bend, Lars Bend was arranged by Bremer to attack the left forward.

The strength and potential of these two brothers no longer need to be said, they received an invitation from Chelsea when they were 16, Ferguson called at 17 and Wenger wanted to sign from Kaiserslautern at 18 Under them, in the end they all chose to stay in Kaiserslautern and stay in this club that has created countless miracles.

Lars Bend has both offensive and defensive characteristics. It is characterized by a very comprehensive, active running, good technology, and can be competent in multiple positions. It can not only attack the left half, right half, center half, midfielder, midfielder, or even the full back. , Is a rare all-rounder.

Relative to his brother, Sven? Bender has more specific characteristics, is a defensive midfielder, these years under the guidance of Kyle's rapid progress, excellent physical fitness, but his defense is not blindly rely on the body, but More relying on pre-judgment and vision to intercept the opponent's pass line, and he has a solid technical foundation. Once the interception is successful, he can directly and effectively ensure that the ball is not lost, and then pass the ball to his teammates, or even launch an attack himself. .

Sven? Bend played 23 times in the Bundesliga last season and won 2 cards. This is a very impressive achievement for a defensive midfielder, but this is not to say that his contribution to defense is not At least, Bremer said on many occasions that Sven Bender was crucial in Kaiserslautern's double midfielder.

Both brothers are regarded as the hope of the future by German football professionals. They have also been selected for the warm-up matches of Germany and Denmark, and have also made appearances.

But obviously, the nature of that warm-up match is almost negligible. It is more like Yang Cheng's investigation of the marginalized people of the national team. Almost all of the selected players are marginal players of the national team and some potential youngsters. The one-time national team is of little significance. What really matters is being able to be selected for the national team preparing for the European Cup qualifiers in September, which is what the media calls Caesar I. This makes sense.

Just as the two brothers watched live TV. The phone on the sofa in the distance rang.

The Bend brothers turned around for the first time and saw two identical Google phones on the desktop, one left and one right, and the right one sounded. That's Sven Bend's cell phone.

"Mine!" The younger brother jumped over and grabbed the phone. A face filled with surprises in a moment, "Brother, the phone of the Football Association!" He waved his cell phone vigorously. But it was firmly grasped. I was afraid that one accidentally let go.

As soon as Lars was overjoyed, he rushed over for the first time, and sure enough he saw that the call was made from the headquarters of the German Football Association.

The last time they were selected for the national team, it was this phone call, so they specially saved the phone into the address book. I didn't expect to call again.

"Hurry up!" Lars was a bit sour, what this phone call represented. His elder brother knows better than anyone, and his heart is also upset. Call his younger brother first, will he also call himself?

"Hello!" Sven? Bender immediately connected the phone and greeted with a smile.

"Hello, this is Paul? Bayer!" The person over the phone responded politely.

In a word, the two brothers were excited, no matter who was selected for the national team, it was a happy thing for them, and Paul? Bayer is the number one assistant coach of this national team coaching team, responsible for notifying each A national who is selected to the big list will also arrange all training matters.

"Hello, Mr. Bayer!" Sven? Bend shuddered.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bender, you have been selected to the national team roster at the end of August. I hope you can gather in Frankfurt immediately after playing against Bayern at the end of August. We will start preparing for the European Cup qualifier. Bayer said with a more official smile.

"OK, thank you, Mr. Bayer!" Sven? Bender politely agreed.

"Well, you can come with Barack and Kyle at that time." Paul Bayer laughed. He also spent time in Kaiserslautern, and he still feels a little good about how many players come out here.

"Okay!" Sven? Bender responded.

"That's it, then you're ready for everything, goodbye!" After that, Paul Bayer hung up the phone.

"YES !!!!!!" Sven? Bend's excited fist, rushed over and hugged his big brother, "I was selected for Caesar's first period, brother, this time I was really selected into the country Team! "

Lars? Bend is a bit bitter, but still squeezed a smile, nodded toward his brother, "Congratulations, Sven!"

Sven? Bend immediately realized what he was, and patted his shoulder towards the elder brother, "It's okay, elder brother, maybe they first notified me, and it's your turn immediately!"

Lars? Bend nodded anxiously, "Hope so!"

But in fact, the brothers stared at Lars Bender's phone all night, but it never sounded.

This made the brothers feel a little disappointed, especially Lars Bender, because he is very clear, which means that he lost the Caesar one period, although this does not mean that he will no longer be able to be elected to the country from now on. The team, but still somewhat disappointed, so that in the second day, in preparation for the second round of the Bundesliga against Bayern, when the team was training on the familiar field at Fritz Walter Stadium, Lars Bender stared Caesar stands on that side.

The Caesar stands are not much different from the other stands of the Fritz Walter Stadium. The difference is that this stand belongs to the exclusive area of ​​the fans of the Bundesliga Red Devils. The seats on the stands are red, but each On the seats, there is a crown and the name of Caesar? Yang Cheng, to show the club's gratitude and commemoration to Yang Cheng.

Kaiserslautern fans are proud to be able to watch the game on this stand. For them, this stand is the most sacred and inviolable.

"Silly, what do you want?" Bremer noticed that Lars Bender's mood was a little low, and came over.

"Nothing, boss!" Lars Bender said lightly.

Bremer nodded, he knew a little bit, because the German Football Association has announced the Caesar 1 big list on the official website, there are many players who participated in the previous warm-up list, all of them have disappeared from this list , There are even some regular guests of the previous national team. But now they are rejected by Yang Cheng.

"When he led Kaiserslautern, our team of stars gathered. There were Belon, Nedved, Barack, Lucio, Fanny, Deisler ... these names are now spoken. They were all scary, but at that time, they did n’t have much fame, and no one knew they could join Kaiserslautern. Become the world ’s top star. "

Lars? Bend nodded, this is the most admirable place of Yang Cheng. Because every time he comes to a team, he can always cultivate a group of outstanding stars, so many people are proud of playing football under his command.

"But many people may not know it. That is, Mr. Yang Cheng has very high demands on the players. You know, many people think that our training intensity is very high, but I dare say that our training intensity is worse than Real Madrid. More, and this usual gap. It is also reflected on the court, because the strength of the game is accumulated over time. It does not burst out suddenly. "

"Mr. Yang Cheng has very high demands on the players, he ca n’t look down on the players he admires, so you can be selected for the last national team training list, which itself means that he appreciates and affirms you, and you ca n’t Being selected for this year's national team training list can only say that you are not doing well in some respects, or are not good enough. "

Speaking of which, Bremer slapped Lars shoulder heavily, "You are only 21 years old, take your time, and there are plenty of opportunities, but the most important thing is that you have to show your strength and let you sit Look at them in the stands! "

After listening to it, Lars Bend nodded uncontrollably. He thought Bremer was right. At least his younger brother Sven Bend's selection showed Yang Cheng's attitude towards young players, but he failed to be selected. Some aspects are not done enough.

"Hard work, kid, learn Barak, learn your predecessors, they all have a lot of things to learn from, not just football, but also their part in winning the game ** and Fighting spirit. "

After talking, Bremer stopped talking and asked Lars to go back to training. But looking at his back, Bremer couldn't help remembering the words Yang Cheng had told him before.

Today's German team and many German players have enough technology and enough body. It can be said that they have all the qualifications to become a top star, but they always give people a feeling that they seem to be missing something. .

"They lack a breath!" At that time, Yang Cheng said his judgment to Bremer.

"They grew up in a complete system from an early age, and they are scientifically cultivated and educated, like flowers in a greenhouse. They lack the tempering and testing of nature, so although they have excellent technology, they have Excellent ability, but it has never been able to make people shine, and cannot be convinced. "

And Yang Cheng also talked about his worries. He always felt that players can complete the transformation from rookie to first-class star, in fact, it depends on this spirit. With this spirit, they will be full of hunger for the game. , They will want to show their best and want to kill their opponents anytime, anywhere, which will spur them to go all out and make progress.

Does not have this spirit, empty talent, empty technology, may be talented when young, but as the age matures and grows, gradually everyone will be stunned.

Germany and Spain, compared with the top powerhouses like Italy, actually only this breath!

When Yang Cheng said this, Bremer had a very obvious feeling, because he was coaching in the Bundesliga, so he was very aware of the current situation of the Bundesliga. There is a common problem in the Bundesliga teams, that is, the passing of the fighting spirit.

Look at the competitiveness of the Bundesliga team in the Champions League in recent years. Although there is a gap in the overall ability of the team, is there no problem with fighting spirit? Is there no spiritual factor?

"Ten years ago, you brought a bright hope to football in this country. After ten years, I hope you can bring great character to football in this country, just like when you built Kaiserslautern! Bremer sighed rather disappointedly.

He also understands that the reason why Yang Cheng is called into Barak again is not significant at the athletic level. The key is still at the spiritual level. After all, Barak represents more than the field of football. His fighting spirit and unremitting efforts are all current. What the German national team needs and lacks is the reason why Yang Cheng is called into Barak.

It is foreseeable that as the character of this German team gradually takes shape, Yang Cheng will gradually send a group of veterans such as Barak, Deisler, Kyle out of the national team, and then recruit more young rookies. The entire German national team is full of fighting power, full of passion and victory **.

These are the things Yang Cheng is most good at. From Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan, to Liverpool, and then to Real Madrid, he can always let the lost teams again and again shine brightly. I hope he can do the same in Germany this time.

Thinking of this, Bremer couldn't help but look forward to and curiosity about the future of the Caesar version of the German national team. He really wanted to know how Yang Cheng would reform the current German team. After all, this team set aside the spiritual level On the tactical level, there are many advantages and disadvantages.

It's good when it's good, and it's bad when it's bad. How to play the good side and cover the bad side is undoubtedly a big test of Yang Cheng's tactical ability, and this is not a club, you can recruit transfers, This is the national team, which can only be adjusted within the existing personnel framework.

There is no doubt that the latter is much more difficult than the former.
