Nine Hundred and Seventy-Two: Lose without Fighting
Xiuxian?nbsp;nbAfter 24 days of competition, the European Cup has finally reached its most intense moment.
Although Kiev has hosted many European Cups before, there were other cities hosting events at that time, but now, when all other competitions have ended, the whole world has focused its attention on Kiev.
But what’s interesting is that when both Germany and Spain chose to arrive in Kiev one day early, this city where the Dnieper River passes through did not make people feel too much passion for the European Cup, even the most impressive before. The most profound thing was the protesting naked women.
This made the arrival of Germany and Spain almost as if they were facing powerful enemies, which seemed a bit fussy.
But on the next day, the day of the European Cup final, the whole city was like a volcano erupting. Fans and reporters from far and wide gathered everywhere, plus UEFA had already arranged and prepared everything here. United officials and staff made the streets of Kiev full of tension, excitement, and joy before the European Cup finals!
Football never brings confrontation and violence, but happiness!
According to TV reports, Kiev’s Chopin Airport ushered in the busiest day of the year. There were almost non-stop planes taking off and landing at Kiev’s Chopin Airport all day long. Some of them went to other cities to watch football games and then transferred to Kiev, and some They came all the way to support Germany or Spain, or even their Caesar.
The airport staff and the city police department, despite their preparations, still underestimated the atmosphere of the final. This made the atmosphere of the final in Kiev soar like a rocket into the sky. The atmosphere of the final and the passion of the fans can be felt everywhere. .
On the day of the final, major European betting companies also offered the latest odds. As the top favorite, Spain's winning odds were as high as 1.32, but their final opponent Germany's winning odds were smaller than before. The magnitude of improvement is only 2.85. Much lower than Spain.
According to William Hill's explanation, Spain's strength advantage is very obvious, and they had a contest with the German team in the group stage. Del Bosque began to adjust his team's tactics after that game.
After the result, Spain performed very steadily and almost perfectly all the way.
On the other hand, the German team's defensive problems have been solved to some extent, but Yang Cheng's team has not been truly tested so far. At least no one knows whether he can still maintain defensive performance when facing a team like Spain. of stability.
Of course, it is not certain that Spain will win the championship, because in the history of the European Cup. No team has successfully defended the title, but now that Spain has such an obvious advantage, it is still unknown whether it can break this history.
Unlike the German team, which kept its itinerary secret, conducted closed training, and refused all reporters as soon as it arrived in Kiev, Spain arrived in Kiev. The team takes a vacation, the players can get some rest time, and then all training conducted by the team is made public to the outside world.
This is seen as an area where Spain is more confident than the German team. Del Bosque's team can almost be a typical representative of adapting to the ever-changing situation. Many people hope to see Del Bosque and his Spain once again win the finals of the competition, bringing another victory to the so-called undefeated Yang Cheng. A painful lesson.
But after the training session, Del Bosque took the time to be interviewed by reporters. He said that as long as Yang Cheng is here, the German team will definitely be able to pose a threat to Spain.
"I know Yang Cheng's strength better than anyone else. I firmly believe that as long as he is here, the German team will be a top-notch team because he is the kind of head coach who can improve the combat effectiveness of a team by himself, so against Germany As a team, we will not relax at all, and I believe my players know this very well!"
"We will continue to adhere to our football philosophy in the game, and I will still choose to attack. Attack, attack again, and play offensive football is our attitude. I always feel that we have an obligation to play a beautiful offensive game. My The players are also capable of playing the best attacking football."
"However, I don't think the German team will stick to the defense. In fact, in the past few games, the German team has found a very reasonable set of tactics. They have scored hundreds of goals and their defense is also very strong. I don't think Yang Cheng will abandon this stable set of tactics and adopt a more conservative and passive strategy."
"Yang Cheng is the kind of head coach who is born to pursue offensive football. He has always given people the impression of playing proactive offensive football, so I believe that in the finals, we will definitely be able to see a A brave attacking German team because their head coach is Yang Cheng!"
But Del Bosque refused to admit that Spain was the favorite to win the championship. He believed that both sides had the same chance of winning this game, and no one could take advantage of the other.
"As we enter the final, we cannot look back, because nothing can be changed about the historical results and the past few games in the European Cup. None of these will allow us to automatically win the game, nor will it allow the German team to give up the game on its own initiative. , so I think there’s no point in exploring that.”
"We are now thinking about how to enjoy it. This is our second European Cup final. What we want is to play well and show everyone our honor and commitment to the championship. Eager, we want to prove that Spain’s playing style is the best!”
Bosque's remarks were graceful and measured, but did not show any signs of weakness. This won the praise of countless media people. On the contrary, the ignorant Yang Cheng avoided reporters as soon as he arrived in Kiev. The media began to One by one, they all started talking, thinking that the German team had already lost before the final.

"From what Dad Bo said, it just proves one thing. It takes a year for a person to learn well and only one day for him to learn bad!"
When Yang Cheng saw Bosque's interview, he smiled and shook his head. At least he could hear Bosque's psychological warfare intentions.
Don't look at this fat old Spanish guy who always praises Yang Cheng and his German team, but in fact, when you listen to it, you will know that it is impossible for Yang Cheng and the German team to play defensive counterattacks. They have to play defensive counterattacks. It's not Yang Cheng.
"If I lose to him in an offensive battle, this old boy will definitely be the first to show off!"
Yang Cheng knew Bosque's "vicious heart" very well. This analysis made Benitez and others laugh, but really, they didn't expect Bosque to start talking. Not bad at all.
If Yang Cheng is the kind of person who can't stand praise from others. Or if you are someone who relies on your past fame and status and can't let go of your dignity, if you are praised by him like this, your tail will be raised for a long time. Fighting in a back-and-forth battle?
"It seems that he has also predicted that you will fight back to the death!" Benitez said with a smile.
It can be heard from Bosque's words that he hopes Yang Cheng will play counterattack, which proves that he thinks Yang Cheng may play defense.
"It's really impossible for me to hold on. If we hold on, we may not get an advantage!" Yang Cheng said helplessly.
Against a team like Spain. If you give up control completely, it is equivalent to letting the opponent control you. So what Yang Cheng wants is to give up possession of the ball in a premeditated manner, but he must firmly control the space and then control it. In a certain game situation, slowly look for opportunities to come back.
He has always felt that Spain is gathering strength to prepare for key battles, but Del Bosque's team has not encountered much test along the way. Even the other two teams in the group of death failed to pose a threat to Spain after leaving the group of death. Opponents are too weak.
This has prevented Spain from being stimulated and unable to show its best state and passion for the game.
However, if Yang Cheng's Germany is now playing in the European Cup finals, if they don't show their form, they will really have to go home and eat themselves. So Yang Cheng can be sure that Spain will give its best in this game.
The German team has also adjusted very well recently, which can be seen from the players' performance, which has always been steadily improving. This makes it unclear how much the German team will be able to perform in this final.
"In the end, this is still a battle for control. Whoever is in good condition and wins control will be the king!" Paul Bayer felt cruel even thinking about it.
Two years of hard work. Just for the next 90 minutes, who wouldn't be cruel?
After hearing this, Yang Cheng smiled, stood up, and said, "I'm going to have a cup of coffee!" Then he turned around and left.
"I..." Paul Bayer also wanted to go, but was pulled back by Benitez.
"What are you doing?" The fat Spanish man looked at Paul Bayer and asked.
"Let's drink coffee, it's rare to be invited!" Paul Bayer felt very confident.
Benitez shook his head angrily, "You're so blind, leave him alone!"
When he said this, Paul Bayer noticed something. When he thought about it, it seemed to be right. Yang Cheng spent the whole day with them, either watching TV or chatting. It seemed normal, but if you look carefully If you think about it, you can detect that he is a little abnormal, precisely because he is so normal!
This is the European Cup final, can he maintain that good mentality?
Thinking about the World Cup final in South Africa, Yang Cheng was nervous for a long time. Now it seems that he is pretending to be calm. How could this old boy not take the final seriously? He has worked hard until now!
"We are just part-time workers. Even we feel the pressure. Do you think he doesn't?" Benitez sighed sadly as he looked at Yang Cheng's leaving figure.
Paul Bayer sighed after hearing this, "All the pressure is on him!"
"So, let him be alone!" Benitez sighed again. At this time, none of his assistants could do anything to help him, he could only rely on himself.
Sometimes, only people like them can understand why Yang Cheng left Real Madrid and professional football because the pressure was too much, especially with a masochistic character like Yang Cheng. He always doesn’t want to disappoint people, so It is unimaginable to put everything on your own shoulders, and the pressure is so great.
However, such people are often easily loved and respected by others. At least Yang Cheng is admired even by his closest assistants, not to mention players, fans and others.

Although Benitez and Paul Bayer want to leave Yang Cheng alone, in fact this guy is not alone.
Sitting in the hotel cafe, opposite Yang Cheng were Charles, who was munching on ice cream, and Charlize Theron, who had a big belly. They had just called Yang Cheng's home, and the two elders actually wanted to watch too. During the live broadcast of the game, Yang Cheng was given a lot of words of encouragement. This made him feel moved for no reason.
People are really strange. When they were alone in the past, they could be careless and careless. But after having a child and watching the child grow up day by day, he seemed to naturally want to give the child more and better things.
People who have never been a father will never understand the feeling of a father watching his children grow up day by day.
It was as if at this moment, Yang Cheng was watching Charles eating ice cream without any image in front of him. He could always maintain a faint smile and watch attentively, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
"It's finished!" Charles finally finished the last bite of ice cream, looking like he was returning triumphantly from an arduous task.
Martial arts training has made his body strong and well-proportioned, but he has grown taller and taller, and his profile has become more and more similar to Yang Cheng's, but there are more and more shadows of Charlize Theron. Everyone who has seen him knows that he combines all the advantages of Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron.
"Wipe your mouth!" Yang Cheng took out a tissue and handed it over.
"Thank you, dad!" Charles took it. He just wiped it around his lips randomly, then kneaded it into a ball and put it on the table.
"It's holiday, where are you going to play?" Yang Cheng asked casually.
Charles thought for a while and curled his lips, "I promised to go back to see my grandparents. Also, my master asked me to go back and strengthen my practice. I have been practicing an amazing set of boxing skills recently!" As he said this, this kid was on the table. Playing with his martial arts stance.
"Have you finished your school homework?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Charles chuckled. "Dad, I finished all my homework in one day. Isn't it amazing?" In the end, the boy even begged for Yang Cheng's reward with a playful smile, which made Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron laugh.
"I've thought about it. As for me, after seeing my grandparents, I will go back to the United States to practice martial arts with my master. Then I will come back to stay with mommy until my sister is born. What do you think of my arrangement?" Charles presented the treasure again.
Yang Cheng nodded, "Not bad!"
"Are you okay?" Charles looked like you're really stingy, "My dad, I... I've been like this, how can you be okay?"
When Yang Cheng heard this, he was happy, "What happened to you?"
Charles shook his head boredly, "Why do I have a father like you!"
This old-fashioned sentence almost made Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron laugh so hard, especially the latter. She held her big belly and laughed very hard. This kid sometimes likes to act mature.
"I'm following you, Charles!" Yang Cheng said with a serious face, "When you get to the stands tonight, you have to be careful and look at mommy, you know?" This is what he cares about most.
Charles made an OK gesture to signal his father not to worry, "I will watch over mommy and my brother!"
It was only recently that Yang Cheng found out that Charlize Theron had asked Yang Cheng to get the keys to live in Munich. It was actually with Melissa Terrio and her son. Charles and Yang got along very happily.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng felt relieved.
"By the way, Dad!" Charles saw his mother raising an eyebrow at him, and immediately thought of what Charlize Theron had told him before. He immediately looked at Yang Cheng and spoke proactively.
"What's up?"
"I think, although, I think you can definitely win, but even if you lose, if you are unlucky and lose the game, you will still be the most powerful dad in my heart! "
As soon as these words came out, Yang Cheng's nose was sore for no reason. Why did this kid say such a thing all of a sudden?
"You brat, who taught you this?" Yang Cheng calmed down his emotions and scolded with a smile.
"My master, he and I, practice martial arts not for fighting, but for physical fitness, and for ourselves. I think football should be like this, isn't it, Mommy?" The kid looked at Charlize again? Theron.
This time it was completely exposed!
"He actually cares about you!" Charlize Theron waited until Charles had gone to play, then looked at her son's back lovingly and held Yang Cheng's hand, "It's just that he is still young and doesn't understand, but He wants to cheer for his father in every possible way along the way, I can see it!"
"Of course, our old Yang family has filial children!" Yang Cheng was moved in his heart, but he acted cool on the surface.
Charlize Theron burst out laughing, then threw a bunch of sanitary eyes at him, thinking this guy was too stinky.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a game!" Yang Cheng smiled and gently squeezed Charlize Theron's soft hand, while looking out the window of the hotel coffee shop, seeing the urban area of Kiev in the distance.
He could imagine that at this moment, fans of the German and Spanish teams from all over the world could be seen everywhere in the urban area of Kiev. They traveled thousands of miles to come to Kiev, all to support their teams. I hope that the team that I support and love can achieve the final victory.
And he can also guess that at this moment in Germany and around the world, there will be countless fans just like this group of fans who came to Kiev. The difference is that they may be at home, in bars, or in squares. On all kinds of different occasions, but their mood is the same.
That is to cheer for the team you love and hope that your team can become the final champion!
Leading the team and satisfying the desires of this group of fans is undoubtedly the highest and greatest achievement of any head coach! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is?
