Chapter 312 Self-destruct the Great Wall

Some people say that Dutch football is good at infighting.

But for Yang Yang, Chinese football is good at self-mutilation.

From Football Association officials to domestic media reporters, everything is like this.

Let's talk about this high-profile national youth team.

From winning the Toulon Cup last year to the subsequent Asian Youth Championship, the overall strength of this national youth team has been recognized by many people.

It is basically no problem for a player like Chen Tao to try out in the Eredivisie and the Premier League.

But Yang Yang followed the national team to train in Beijing. When preparing for the World Cup preliminaries, news broke out one after another from the national youth team training in Germany.

None of the content is new.

First of all, the domestic media revealed that the head coach Clausen was at odds with the Chinese coaching staff. Many people believed that Clausen’s theoretical level was sufficient, but his coaching ability was not good enough, which was questioned by the Chinese coaching staff.

This led to the decline of Krautchen's prestige in the team. In many warm-up matches, many members of the Chinese coaching staff even appeared on the sidelines to direct the players on the field, which aroused accusations from the German media.

Later, domestic media pointed out that Krautchen did not live with the team, but lived in a better hotel at his own expense, which caused dissatisfaction among the National Youth Team.

When a certain Football Association leader visited the German training camp, he expressed "outraged" that if Krautchen can't do it, he can go down at any time and let the domestic Zhu guide go up and replace him.

As a result, this word was leaked again, which caused an uproar in the public opinion, which further exacerbated the decline of Clausen's prestige in the team. At the same time, it also caused the domestic media to report on Krautchen's coaching crisis.

After several successive turmoil, the results of the national youth team's warm-up match became more and more sluggish, which further exacerbated Krautchen's coaching crisis. This point almost reached its peak after the national youth team arrived at the Utrecht training camp in the Netherlands.

It can be said that there are conflicts between the foreign coaches and the Chinese coaching staff inside, and the media is fueling the flames outside.

At this time, the Football Association suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yang Yang never liked to deal with the Football Association, but this time it was about the National Youth Team, and he took the same plane with the Football Association officials to Amsterdam, so Yang Yang had some open and honest talks.

First of all, he once again pointed out that the Football Association is too tolerant, even laissez-faire, in its treatment of the media.

Before the Asian Cup, later the Asian Youth Championship, and now the World Youth Championship, the media not only did not play any benign role, but instead fueled the flames again and again, lest the world would not be chaotic.

"Let's say that Krautchen lives in a hotel. When you negotiated the contract with him before, did you stipulate that he was not allowed to pay for the hotel outside? If not, why not allow it? The living habits of the Germans are completely different from ours. We know how to make others understand us, but why don't we understand others?"

"Also, since Klauschen came to lead the team, we value his professional level. Why do we have to stick to his private life? Did he murder and set fire? Or did he rob his house? As long as his professional level meets our requirements, as long as he doesn't do anything illegal, then we don't care what he does in private?"

On the plane, Yang Yang also vomited quickly and complained a lot.

"The role of the media was originally to monitor and disseminate information, but over the years, many of our so-called professional media have reported the so-called heavyweight news, attracting the attention of readers across the country and promoting sales, but it is not the truth. Who really cares? Fans are misled by the media again and again, so naturally they will not have a good impression of the national football team."

"Obviously it was just a lack of strength and the loss of the ball, but as long as the media fanned the flames and reported some favoritism, it immediately became a certain player who refused to contribute to the country, and how such a certain player was. It immediately rose to an ideological issue. Many times, players have to suffer from dumb losses and have no way to refute. How can they prove that they have really tried their best, and they really can't beat others?"

"Those so-called big-name journalists always have an objective and neutral attitude. Every time they speak as if they are the right ones and the truth, everyone should listen to them. They even use their voices to exaggerate and confuse black and white. Can this have a positive monitoring and communication effect?"

Yang Yang's words are completely from the heart, and he really can't stand it anymore.

This happens again and again. Every time a competition is approaching, the domestic media will come up with these moths. But every time the public opinion comes up, the Football Association starts to deny itself. Doesn't anyone dare to take the slightest responsibility?
As for many things reported by the media, if you don't exaggerate and only report facts, what's the problem?
There is a conflict of ideas between Clausen and the Chinese coaching staff. Is this a problem?
There is no conflict, does it mean that the level of the Chinese coaching staff has reached the European level?

Is it strange that some players have problems with Clausen?

Every coach has his own habits of employing people. Tie Sheng guides the people he likes to use, but Kraushen may not like to use them. Therefore, changing coaches will inevitably lead to those who gain and those who lose.

"A lot of times, many things can be solved behind closed doors. It's like every word our team says and does in the locker room. No one will reveal half a word when we leave the locker room."

"But the problem now is that the media has completely and publicly exposed these contradictions. How can Kraushen and the Chinese coaching staff cooperate? How can the players trust each other? Everyone in the team is on guard everywhere, and everyone is worried about being caught. How can we play the game?"

Yang Yang complained on the plane, and the Football Association officials who were traveling with him were speechless.

Many times, they should be responsible for many things.

In fact, what Yang Yang said was right.

The battle is imminent, and at this time, the prestige of the team of head coach Clausen is openly damaged, which is definitely self-destruction of the Great Wall.

To put it bluntly, if Krautchen couldn't do it, how could they choose him as the head coach?

Now that you have chosen, you must be sure to hire someone now!

…………

…………

The plane arrived at Amsterdam International Airport.

In just over half an hour's drive from the airport to Utrecht, the Football Association also contacted by phone and quickly reached an agreement.

When Yang Yang and his group arrived at the Midland Hotel in Utrecht, the Football Association officials immediately held a meeting of the team leaders and the Chinese coaching staff, reaffirming the Football Association's decision to fully maintain Krauschen's authority and allow no one to provoke it.

"Everyone, whether it's the players, the team leader, or the coaching staff, must obey Kraushen's arrangements and scheduling. There must be no doubts, or even provoke the prestige of the head coach. This is absolutely not allowed. No matter who it is, once it is discovered, it will be severely punished, and no mercy will be given!"

"That's the end of all the discussions about Krautchen, and no one is allowed to be interviewed by media reporters in private!"

When the Football Association officials and the Chinese coaching staff had a meeting, after Yang Yang arrived in Utrecht, he, together with Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting and Zhou Haibin, called the players in the team to a meeting.

Due to playing abroad for a long time, Yang Yang is not the captain of this team. Even many players have never participated in the Toulon Cup and the Asian Youth Championship. They are not familiar with Yang Yang, but they all came.

Yang Yang also told all the players very frankly that the current atmosphere in the team is indeed quite unfavorable for the team to participate in the World Youth Championship.

The fanning of the outside media has exacerbated the conflicts within the team, which is a precursor to the brink of collapse.

"You don't have to believe me, but I believe that you are not stupid. Think about it, if we don't play well in the World Youth Championship this time, or even fail to qualify in the group, guess what those media will write?"

Yang Yang's questioning caused many players in the team to think deeply.

"If you forget, don't remember, then you can go back and look at how they wrote about us before the finals of the Asian Youth Championship last year. Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes."

"Is it a dragon? Is it a phoenix? Or a mouse? It depends on the results of this event."

"If we fight well, they can praise us as dragons and phoenixes. If we fight badly, they will trample us into mud on the soles of our feet, and write us as the street rats that everyone shouts and beats."

Yang Yang's words evoked the collective memories of many players in the team. They all clearly remembered the incident in September last year.

After Yang Yang negotiated with his teammates and reached an agreement, Kraushen also took the initiative to come to the door.

The German head coach was full of expectations for Yang Yang, the number one star in the team. He believed that Yang Yang would be the strongest weapon for the team to achieve good results. Therefore, after hearing that Yang Yang was returning to the team, he came to see Yang Yang immediately after meeting the officials of the Football Association.

As soon as they met, the German coach took the lead in expressing his gratitude to Yang Yang for his support at the critical moment.

"I know that many Chinese media don't have a good impression of me, because I have repeatedly refused their interviews. They obviously care more about things other than football, but for me, that is my privacy, and I don't want to get involved in more so-called interpersonal relationships." Krautchen talked candidly as soon as we met.

Yang Yang also immediately expressed that he could understand.

"I don't think my training lacks planning. The performance at this stage is not very ideal. It has something to do with many players playing the national team. I have a clear training plan for this, but you know, I can't follow the plan in the book. I need to constantly adjust the daily training according to the actual situation of the team."

"Believe me, Yang, I have a very detailed physical reserve plan and game preparation plan."

Yang Yang nodded heavily, "I believe in you, and I will obey your arrangements. At the same time, I will do my best to help you, because you are the head coach of this team. As long as you are still in this position, I will always support you!"

"Thank you!" Clausen said with satisfaction.

Being able to get the support of Yang Yang, the number one star in the team and a young talent who is also popular in European football, is already more than half of his success for him.
