Goalkeepers: Neuer, Adler, Ziller;

Defenders: Ram, Jerome Boateng, Hevedes, Badstuber, Hummels, Mertesak, Schmelzer;

Midfielders: Sven Bend, Lars Bend, Gotze, Khdira, Tony Klos, Thomas Muller, Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Reus, Podolsky;

Forwards: Klose, Gomez, Samed Yehill.

When the official website of the German national team announced the 23-man roster submitted by the team to FIFA, the whole world was surprised, especially when the German team was preparing to go to Brazil at Frankfurt Airport, Klose, who was still on crutches, was puzzled and confused by Yang Cheng's decision.

Is it necessary to let Klose, who is still on crutches, go to Brazil?

This is a doubt in everyone's heart, and many people are incredible about Yang Cheng's decision. At least they think that from the perspective of personal scoring, Gomez is no worse than Klose, so why should he choose a Klose? For this old guy who is still on crutches and is preparing to retire this summer, Yang Cheng gave up Gundogan, Xuerle and other stars who are playing in their years? What is going on?

Many reporters were blocking the Sao Paulo Airport in Brazil. When they saw Yang Cheng leading the team out of the airport, they threw this problem to Yang Cheng and Klose. The former seemed to be prepared and blocked all the reporters alone.

"I know what you are going to ask, but sorry, I won't answer any questions about the roster, and your questions are not convincing at all, unless you feel that you are more qualified to stand on the coaching seat of the German national team than me!"

This is indeed a bit heavy, but with Yang Cheng's current status, saying such words means that bringing Kloze into the 23-man roster is an impossible fact. Even if Kloze's injury has not been cured, he will continue to keep him in the national team without hesitation.

His past glorious coaching career, a European Cup and a Federation Cup, and a qualifier with outstanding results, have not been questioned much about Yang Cheng's choice, and no one dares to challenge his authority. At most, some media believe that Yang Cheng's team may suffer losses because of this choice.

There was a media outlet who didn't even know where to find out the news, believing that Klose could no longer reappear on the court. The meniscus injury and the patients accumulated over the years of his career made it impossible for this German veteran to return to the football field. The only purpose of Yang Cheng taking him to Brazil was to give him a glorious and decent retirement.

"Do you remember when Barack was kicked out of the national team, Yang Cheng charged Lov in order to support his beloved disciple?"

"We have never denied that Yang Cheng is an outstanding head coach. He has an extremely brilliant coaching experience. We also believe that Yang Cheng's German team may continue to create glory in this Brazil World Cup, but we express doubts and concerns about Yang Cheng's choice of Klose!"

"Yes. Yang Cheng values ​​feelings and loyalty, which allows him to be loved and affirmed by national team players. But he would rather give up so many outstanding players and choose a Klose who cannot play. This has to be said to be a failure of this list and will also bring hidden dangers to the German team's World Cup journey!"

On the day the team arrived in Sao Paulo, the national team leader Bierhoff was interviewed by reporters. "For this summoning to Klose, it was not entirely a decision made by Mr. Yang Cheng alone. We all agreed to his decision, because in our opinion, the current national team needs Klose very much. We need him to return to the stadium!"

"I hope the outside world can stop suspicion about all this. Unless there is another accidental injury, this will be the last 23-man roster of Germany. We do not intend to change or adjust the player roster again!"

Bierkhov's words also prove one thing, that is, the German national team is a solid piece of the country. No one can think of splitting!

Nielsbach, chairman of the German Football Association who followed the team to Sao Paulo, Brazil, also accepted an interview. "Mr. Yang Cheng is responsible for all matters in the national team. I believe that every decision he made is for the performance of the national team. We unconditionally trust and support his decision. All the statements about the Football Association on the list are false speculations!"

The chairman of the Football Association personally clarified the rumors, which also proved the Football Association's support and affirmation of Yang Cheng, and also made everyone see clearly who is the most powerful person in the German national team at present. As Gran Nak, who is familiar with Yang Cheng, said, unless Yang Cheng is fired, Klose will definitely stay on the 23-man roster.

"I want to tell all those who doubt Yang Cheng that the reason you are reporters, fans, not Yang Cheng is because you don't understand how important Klose is to this national team's tactical significance. At least in the eyes of many people, there are two players in this national team at present, one is to provide Klose who provides the offensive axis of the frontcourt, and the other is to provide the strategic width Ram. The former is undoubtedly more important than the latter!"

In an interview, FIFA President Beckenbauer also expressed concerns about Klose's injury not recovering.

"A healthy Klose is the key to the German team's winning the cup. I also support and agree with Yang Cheng's approach. Klose is irreplaceable. I hope he can recover as soon as possible!"

Many German fan organizations have also prayed for Klose. They have prayed for this striker who has made outstanding contributions to German football in the past decade, hoping that he can recover as soon as possible and return to the green field as soon as possible.

However, after the team arrived in Brazil, they began their final preparations, but the World Cup schedule was approaching, and the good news that all the fans who were concerned about the German national team were expected never to be heard.

"How about it?"

In the office of the Cotia training base, Yang Cheng looked at Chris Schmidt and Wolfart in front of him. Around them, other coaching staff members, as well as Football Association Chairman Nielsbach, national team leader Bierhoff and others were also present.

Everyone gathered here and was concerned about one thing, Klose's injury.

"The progress is still slow, and the intense exercise cannot be carried out for the time being!" Wolfart shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Many players recovered and recovered in his hands. Countless people called him a miracle doctor and even almost gave him the title of resurrection, but this time, he really had no choice but to use Cloze.

The human body is difficult to figure out. Especially the body of sensitive players is even more unpredictable. Even proficient in Wolfart, it is impossible to let Klose recover in the shortest time, or to let him start entering the field for adaptive training in advance, because this will backfire.

Hearing Wolfart's conclusion, many people present sighed because they all knew what this meant.

"How long will it take?" Yang Cheng seemed calm instead. He had already made the fastest plan.

At worst, Klose finished watching this World Cup in the stands like this. Yang Cheng still had to use all his abilities to win the championship. Then, as the media said, he used a World Cup championship to give Klose a glorious and decent retirement.

He was not afraid to admit it. It was his selfishness, his selfishness towards his beloved disciple, so what?

"I don't know. It will probably take a week at the fastest, and the slowest..." Wolfart shrugged, and everyone could guess his voice-over. The slowest is likely to be that he will never be able to see Klose on the court again, that is, there is no time.

"How is the player's mood?" Yang Cheng asked.

Chris Schmidt was quite satisfied with this and nodded, "The mood is pretty good, but there will definitely be disappointment, but I believe it will have little impact on him. After all, I am old and have a clear idea of ​​everything!"

Kloze knows that he has been playing football for so many years and has suffered so many injuries. Sadness and disappointment are not good for the recovery of injuries. Now he has no way out. If he wants to repay Yang Cheng and everyone who is waiting for him, he will recover as soon as possible. Then he cannot be sad and sad.

After hearing this, Yang Cheng smiled slightly. As long as Klose still has faith, he will believe in his players.

After letting go of Klose's injury troubles, everyone began to study the next warm-up match and group matches.

The German team's warm-up match in Sao Paulo is Ecuador, which is also able to participate in the World Cup. This team has a good record in South America. As a typical South American team, Ecuador is an imaginary enemy of Colombia, examining the team's ball control and game control.

South American teams are interesting, and you usually cannot measure such teams by European standards.

For example, their defenders, you cannot measure them by the European defenders' standards, because their defenders may be technically better than many European midfielders, and some of their defensive players. In fact, the defensive players of these teams in South America have good organizational skills.

In other words, South American teams have some of their own characteristics. They will form their own football system based on their own characteristics. If you want to use the European standards and systems to measure South American teams, you will undoubtedly die miserably and be terrible.

Therefore, in the history of South American football, it is rarely heard that they would invite head coaches outside the South American continent to coach, because even the head coaches in Europe, which are known as the most advanced tactics in the world, cannot thoroughly understand the characteristics and characteristics of South American teams, and naturally they cannot bring good results.

Even if he is as smart as Yang Cheng, he cannot guarantee that he can succeed in South America, because he has some of his own technical and tactical characteristics, and Yang Cheng himself may not understand it.

However, with the advent of the information revolution, now generally responding to the call of global villages, South American teams are gradually absorbing the characteristics of some European teams, and there will also be some signs of Europeanization, but this Europeanization is more based on the traditional characteristics of South American teams.

The German team has also competed with South American teams many times, and last year he played with Uruguay and Brazil, and he still has some experience.

This time when playing against Ecuador, Yang Cheng decided to do his best to play and strive to use Ecuador to test the team.

…………

…………

Goalkeeper Neuer, the defense line is Ram, Badstuber, Hummels, Jerome Boateng, the three midfielders are Schweinsteiger, Sven Bend and Tony Klos, and the attacking forwards are Thomas Muller, Ozil and Reus.

In this warm-up match with Ecuador, Yang Cheng still chose the 4330 frontless tactic, and his choice was to take the main attack after the start, because the defense of South American teams is generally not as rigorous as that of European teams, and South American teams are generally slower in rhythm, so Yang Cheng's team has quickly pulled the pace from the beginning, adding ** to grab and pressure.

The biggest star in Ecuador is Valencia, who plays for Manchester United. This player is also Ecuador's offensive weapon, but in this game, Yang Cheng arranged his own side to attack Ecuador's right side from the left, especially Ram's front pressure, forcing Valencia to participate more in the defense, thereby curbing Ecuador's attack on the right side.

The German team quickly took advantage of the team's overall strength, rigorous tactics and formation advantages to control the situation on the field. Ecuador seemed to be unacceptable to the German team's fast and smooth pass and reception cooperation. Their preferred way of playing was to control the ball at their feet, but once they did this in the game, they were immediately pressed and oppressed by the German team.

When the game reached the 19th minute, the German team took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court.

Tony Klos passed the ball over the top and crossed Ecuador's defense line. Reus quickly counterattacked and successfully got the ball. After getting the ball, he rushed into Ecuador's penalty area. When he was blocked, he stopped and turned around and passed the back point. Thomas Muller inserted a header and broke through Ecuador's goal, 1:0!

After controlling the situation of the game after the opening and quickly grasped the initiative of the game, the German team quickly controlled a certain advantage. After breaking the deadlock on the court, the German team began to consciously use this advantage to mobilize Ecuador, so that the latter could fight for the pressure.

In the 33rd minute, Ecuador launched an attack and reached the 32-meter area of ​​the German team, but Valencia conceded the ball under the joint efforts of Schweinsteiger and Ram, who knocked back Badstuber.

I saw Bayern central defender pass accurately with a long diagonal pass, passing the ball to the opponent's threatening area in the half. I don't know when, he had moved from the wing to the right position with the Ecuadorian defense line. After successfully counter-offside, he got the ball and rushed to the front of the penalty area, and shot with one shot, breaking the deadlock on the field for the German team again. 2:0!

After scoring two goals in a row, the German team seemed to have a more advantage in strength, and the score remained until the halftime break.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made a large-scale substitution adjustment. He used Adler to play the goalkeeper position. The defense lines were Schmelze, Badstuber, Mertesack and Hevedes, both midfielders were Lars Bend and Hedira, the attacking forwards were Gotze, Samed Yeshir and Podolski, and the single forward was Gomez.

One of the important reasons why Yang Cheng wants to make large-scale substitutions is that after Gomez comes on the court, the German team's tactics must undergo major changes, and such major changes are difficult to complete in a game, or it may take some time to make the players adjust.

So in the second half, he used another team to fight the tactic of flying both wings, and by pulling the two sides, widening the Ecuadorian defense line and creating scoring opportunities for Gomez, Samed Yehill and others in the middle.

After the start of the second half, the German team began to play more concisely and faster. After all, there were experts in possession and rhythm like Schweinsteiger and Tony Klos in the first half. Lars Bend and Khedira were both offensive and defensive experts with hard bridges and hard horses. Where can they control the ball?

However, this style of hard bridge and hard horse has brought a huge impact to Ecuador, especially the impact of Gomez, a powerful striker, which can almost be said to be unstoppable.

Although this center has many shortcomings and has quite a difference with Yang Cheng's tactics, it must be admitted that once he has the environment and space to exert his strength, he will be in control and out of control.

Gomez scored twice in the second half, helping Germany to win Ecuador 4:1. When he led 3 goals, he equalized the goal, but no matter what, the results of the warm-up match were pretty good.

Thomas Muller in the first half, Gomez in the second half, and Yang Cheng gave high praise to the performances of these two important scorers, especially Gomez. When the forward rushed forward, it was really a heavy tank. Even in Europe, few defenders could stop him. Not to mention the defenders in South America, it could be said that they were directly crushing.

Unsurprisingly, the German team's outstanding performance in this warm-up match also made many media say that the German team can forget Klose, because both Gomez and Thomas Muller have shown strong scoring ability in this warm-up match. Even if Klose returns from injury, he may not be better than them.

In an interview after the game, Yang Cheng also expressed his satisfaction with the team's adjustment progress and the players' performance. At the same time, he also believed that Gomez was fully capable of replenishing the problems left by Klose after his injury, provided that he had to integrate more actively into the game.

Regarding the praise and affirmation from the head coach, Gomez also said, "For me, the team's victory is the most important thing. As long as I can help the team win, I can complete all the tasks assigned by the head coach, and even sit on the bench. But I also believe that when I appear on the court, I can also contribute to the team that I will not lose to anyone!"

Seeing Gomez taking the initiative to ask for battle, especially his high-spirited attitude, Yang Cheng was also satisfied, because he had always hoped that Gomez could become more enterprising and ambitious.
Chapter completed!
