The Alps, covering northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany, and Slovenia, are the most famous mountain ranges in southern Europe, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, especially the highest in the Mont Blanc area. Over 4810 meters.
Tigne, a famous ski town at the foot of the Alps, with an elevation of more than 3600 meters above sea level, is an ideal ski resort. The busiest season is usually from December to April, and it is now in the low season.
Yang Cheng and Klose flew from Madrid to Geneva Airport, and then took the high-speed train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, France. When they arrived, Bierhof arranged a train for the driver to Bourg-Saint-Maurice Stand to pick them up.
In this Audi, surrounded by mountains, driving fast on this not spacious, but winding road, Yang Cheng can deeply feel the magnificence and danger of the Alps through the car window.
The higher the altitude, the greater the altitude sickness of the body, which is why Yang Cheng is more worried.
"How is the training in recent days?" Yang Cheng asked the driver sitting in the front row.
The driver drove the car and did not look back. "It's not bad!" He didn't know the exact details.
"Anyone have altitude sickness?" Yang Cheng asked again.
"I didn't hear it!" The driver answered.
This time, he was finally relieved. He closed his eyes directly and took a good rest. After all, he sat in the car for several hours. If he was not tired, it would be a bit fake.
Klose was sitting next to Yang Cheng, always looking sideways, looking out. The peaks of the Alps in the distance were snow-capped and unreachable, making people unable to help himself in front of this spectacular view of nature. Ashamed. Deeply feel how small and insignificant one is.
"What's the matter?" Yang Cheng asked, concerned about Klose's melancholy.
"Nothing!" Klose smiled slightly, but a little bit reluctantly.
Yang Cheng is no one else. Klose couldn't hide him from every move, and he quickly realized Klose's worries. If the German striker is really upset, then it must be his positioning in Real Madrid.
After joining Real Madrid, Yang Cheng has always positioned Klose as the third striker and is the team's changer. Klose's performance has always been very good. As long as he can play, he can show his strength, but now Raul comes up, he is obviously to promote the second team teenager, such as Morata.
Morata's ability to be ranked among the Little Five Hawks is enough to show his talent and strength. The most important thing is that he is the kind of high center that Real Madrid is scarce. His performance in the second team is very good. Excellent and eye-catching, the performance in the national team's low age is also very commendable. So Raul promoted him to come up, which is a matter of course.
But once Morata came up, the position of Klose would become even more awkward.
For the time being. Neither Raúl nor Real Madrid gave Klose any suggestion, nor did he say to sell, but Klose himself was aware of the problem, that is, once Raul came up, his status in Real Madrid would continue to go Downhill.
"Does any team want you?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Klose was stunned, but he smiled immediately. He also knew that these things must not be concealed from Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng had his own set of information channels, and he must be able to guess something. What's more, he never thought of concealing and nodded, "Yes, Lazio of Serie A hopes I can go to play with them."
"Lazio?" Yang Cheng was a little surprised since he left Serie A. This name is already a little strange to him, because his brain is limited and his energy is limited, it is impossible to pay attention to everything.
"They have just completed a coaching change this season, coach Reia is going to leave, and new coach Petkovic will formally take charge of Lazio. He hopes that I can transfer to Lazio and strengthen the team's attacking forward." Luo Ze seems to have moved.
He is almost 34 years old, not to mention that he has received so much honor in Real Madrid, but he is not very satisfied because he is still preparing to participate in the World Cup, so he must get more opportunities and time to guarantee His own state, and these are not what Real Madrid can give him, but Lazio can.
"Does Raul know?" Yang Cheng asked.
Klose shook his head, "I haven't decided yet, but I plan to talk to him after the European Cup is over."
"Well, if you need anything, you tell me!" Yang Cheng smiled. "No matter what, I support your decision. I also believe that you still have a chance to appear in the 2014 list. "
After Klose listened, he couldn't help but smile, "Is this a package ticket?"
Yang Cheng shook his head, "Of course not, I just said there is a chance!"
By the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Klose was 36 years old, and he was still unable to maintain a good competitive state. This is something that no one can guarantee, but Yang Cheng also clearly realized that on the front line In fact, the German team does not actually have much talent.
Thomas? Mueller is an excellent and calm scorer, but he is not the kind that can top the front, even at Bayern, Pellegrini uses him after the plug, he needs a player in front for He pulled the defensive player's attention.
Gomez is very capable, but his technical characteristics are really different from the current German team.
This player is tall and strong, but he is not the type of forward. He is fast, powerful in counterattacks, able to grab points and capture opportunities, and has a very good sense of shooting, but the problem is that his stop Ball and trip ball is really a bit sorry for his current status and status.
In Bayern, in order to be able to play Gomez's strength, Pellegrini used two sides to tear the opponent's defense line. After pulling the defensive attention, he sent the ball into the penalty area. Gomez Sna needs space for the ball. He ca n’t do the move that Ibrahimovic has to get away from in a small space, so he can only do everything possible to create space for him so that he can comfortably take the ball and Get up.
But in the German national team, in order to take care of Gomez alone, let the whole team around him to make such an arrangement. Yang Cheng felt it was not cost-effective because he still had a Klose.
From the physical level, Klose was completely exploded by Gomez, but from the perspective of consciousness and technology. Klose finished blasting Gomez, and in Yang Cheng's technical and tactical system, consciousness was always put first.
Of course, Yang Cheng has absolutely no intention of belittle Gomez. This striker is very good, but it is not suitable for the current German national team.
Leaving Klose and Gomez apart, the current German national team is on the front line. There is indeed a shortage of talents. This is already an indisputable fact. Even Yang Cheng is thinking about how to solve this trouble.

"Here it is!" The driver shouted in front.
Squinted for a while, Yang Cheng opened his eyes immediately, straightened up from the seat, and saw a lake in the distance, a modern town with many tall buildings in the distance. Built around the lake, behind the town is the snow-capped snow mountain, and below you can see the woods and bald rocks. But to the top of the mountain, it was all a white world.
"What a beautiful place!" Yang Cheng couldn't help but praise, "We have to thank France, they guarded Clement Fontaine's training and gave us this good place!"
Audi quickly passed the lake and entered the town, but turned into a hotel built by the lake as soon as he entered the town.
Le Cron du Valle Clay Hotel, a wooden building hotel, looks unique in style and has a unique flavor. The gates and pillars are all directly mined and piled with unprocessed stones. They seem to wear a rough beauty, but it gives a very strong feeling.
As soon as the car stopped, Yang Cheng got out of the car and saw a cold air rushing in. Can't help but want to make a trembling, but very comfortable, the whole person is full of energy, the original sleepiness was swept away.
Yang Cheng took a few deep breaths of cold air, very clean, free of those impurities in the city.
"Is there any winter clothes ready for the cold?" Paul Bayer walked out of the hotel with a smile. Beside him, Benitez, Tim Hank and others also followed. They were just there. Seeing Yang Cheng's car upstairs, he walked down.
"I'm ready, but I don't know if it's enough!" Yang Cheng walked up with a smile and hugged this group of assistants.
"Come, let me take you to your room first. The best double room in this hotel has been kept for you. It seems to be a waste now!" Tim Hank said ridiculously.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "That's a real waste, find me a companion at night!"
"Really?" Chris Schmidt asked with a smile, as if he really had a way.
Yang Cheng nodded, "Really, but I am very demanding!"
"That's all right, you're used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world, who can get into your eyes?" Chris shook his head helplessly, and his words were not completely without the sour vinegar smell.
A group of people joked into the hotel, along the way Paul? Baier introduced the hotel's facilities.
Don't look at this hotel is a wooden structure, but he has everything he needs, such as sauna, tennis court, gym, golf course, spa center, heated swimming pool, library, indoor swimming pool, etc. This is Tignes The best hotel, the facilities are naturally very complete.
"Is everyone else here?" Yang Cheng asked while climbing the stairs.
"All are here!" Paul Bayer replied.
"How about your training these days?"
Paul Bayer nodded, "Relax, everything is going smoothly."
'S side Chris Schmidt also added: "We have already given all the training players, except Klose, have undergone a series of physical examinations, and we are now preparing to enter the final physical reserve stage."
Yang Cheng didn't say anything. When he went upstairs, he saw Schweinsteiger and other Bayern players who arrived at the hotel this morning. Although Yang Cheng's team just killed Bayern at the Allianz Arena last night, but today again When they met, they became a teacher-apprentice relationship. Schweinsteiger still politely greeted Yang Cheng.
"I'm going to take a bath to change my clothes. After dinner at night, we will have a meeting and talk slowly!" After that, Yang Cheng walked into his room, turned around and sent away the assistants, and then locked the door. Too.
Although it is a wooden house, the room looks elegant and comfortable. No wonder it can be rated as a four-star hotel, and it is also the best hotel in Tignes, because it attracts the most skiers in the world.
From Yang Cheng ’s room, you can see the back of the hotel. That piece is known as the most beautiful ski resort in the world, where there is a cable car, which can directly lead to a higher ski area, and that piece of area will become the focus area for the next training of the German national team.
Before Yang Cheng arrived, this German team was always only training at a low level, but from tomorrow, they will be greeted by a round of **** training. Make sure that each of them can appear in the European Cup with full physical fitness and good mental appearance.

The team's dinner in Tignes is a situation where buffets are used.
Because the hotel is not large in size, it is all covered by the German national team, so all who live here are the family members of the national team players and the coaching staff. There are no outsiders at all, so everyone stays in the hotel Eat in the lobby.
Yang Cheng walked into the lobby. Immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, because for the families of many people present, Yang Cheng is more of a name that has only been heard. However, it is not necessarily a celebrity that has been seen in person, or so close, so many of them even have an excitement to see idols.
In this case, the atmosphere at the scene can be imagined.
Yang Cheng looked around the crowd and found that it was all there, so he didn't say anything, just walked over slowly under the watch of everyone in the audience, grabbed something to eat, and then found a comparison Sit down in a remote corner.
Gradually. Everyone began to get used to Yang Cheng's existence, and the atmosphere gradually picked up again.
"How do you feel about leaving professional football?" The fat man Benitez, with a cup of coffee in his hand, sat across from Yang Cheng. He looked very concerned, but actually looked like a gossip spirit.
Yang Cheng let go of the food in his hands. Looking up at the fat man, he smiled slightly, "It's no different, but just changing the environment and changing the way. Do you think the national team is very different from the professional club?"
Benitez said nothing, his face was indifferent, "The national team is more cruel!"
Yang Cheng was stunned, yes, the national team is even more cruel.
In the case of the European Cup, in the three games of the group stage, losing one is the end of the world. Especially in the death group of the German team, you must win the opponent with all your strength. , It is really terrible, almost can be said to be slim.
Finally crossed the group stage and entered the knockout stage.
It can be said that every game is a final, every game must be full, and this game has a lot of luck and chance. This is a game for any coach of any team. Big deadly test.
Therefore, Benitez is right. If the club ’s league, or even the two-round cup, can give the coach the opportunity to make mistakes and make up, then the national team ’s tournament-based game is almost not given. For any chance you make up, you must defeat your opponent within 90 minutes or be defeated by your opponent!
This is a very brutal game system, but it is precisely because it is cruel, so it is more challenging and more exciting.
Especially for Yang Cheng, who is full of adventurous genes, he is even more keen to accept such challenges.
"Be cruel, be cruel to be interesting!" Yang Cheng began to eat again, but suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"
Benitez smiled, "I'm a wage earner. I'm an assistant for you. It doesn't matter if I win, it doesn't matter if I lose. What do I fear?" Self, hang high.
Yang Cheng knows his partner. He knows that Benitez is not such a person, so he just smiled and said nothing.
After eating, the family members left, and everyone on the team went to a meeting room in the hotel to gather. This meeting room was temporarily transformed into a dressing room by the team. Sit down on the wooden bar chairs around the walls, and you can vaguely see their stuff under the chair.
"I believe everyone should clearly understand the meaning of being here!" Yang Cheng's opening remarks were very serious.
"I also believe that everyone should know very well, and what will be waiting for you will be the most difficult training and schedule."
"Our group stage was lucky enough to draw the death group. We encountered teams from Spain, Portugal and France. Relatively speaking, we did not have much advantage with them. Even in the face of Spain, we were in a comprehensive disadvantage However, this does not mean that we have no chance to defeat Spain and defeat other opponents! "
"I always believe that this world is very fair, how much you want to get, then you have to pay first, and if you have paid, you will get the corresponding return, so I hope you will be very clear from now on Remember, my goal is to be a champion. Our team will always fight for the champion! "
"And you guys today, every day of hard training, every hardship you have suffered, every drop of sweat, is for the next step in the European Cup, to go further and go better ! "
Yang Cheng ’s words made everyone on the scene feel a chill, because they all knew that what was waiting for them would be the so-called devil-style special training. They did n’t know how cruel they were, but they must be very uncomfortable. .
And unless they want to escape, otherwise, they can only face it bravely! (To be continued)
