i want to be king

Chapter 595 How the world's top teams are formed!
On the evening of June 29, the European Cup final kicked off at the Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria.

Su Dong not only appeared at the scene, but also sat on the rostrum.

UEFA President Michel Platini knew that Su Dong was watching the European Cup, not only the Portuguese game, Su Dong also found time to watch many other games, so he invited Su Dong to attend the closing ceremony through Beckenbauer.

Wang Chuqing was sitting next to Su Dong, and on the other side was Bayern Chairman Beckenbauer.

They are also surrounded by famous names in European football and even world football, each of whom is a well-known legend.

One of the important reasons why Su Dong paid attention to this battle was that both sides were people he was very familiar with.

Needless to say about the German team, Bayern teammates Schweinsteiger, Ram, Podolski and Klose are all in the current German national team.

There are more in Spain, including David Silva Iniesta and Marcos Senna, three small followers, and Xavi, Puyol and Marchena, three former teammates, Casillas, Ramos, Xavi Alonso and Torres, who are also very familiar with Su Dong.

How could he miss such a game?

……

At the beginning of the game, the German team played well and created threats again and again.

But the good times didn't last long, and then the game entered the rhythm of Spain.

Iniesta and Torres, in particular, frequently attacked the left side of the German team, which is the side where Lahm was stationed.

No. 14 minutes, Torres knocked back, Harvey passed straight to the penalty area, Iniesta dunked the defender and then crossed, Metzelder almost hit the ball into his own goal, but fortunately goalkeeper Lehmann saved it in time.

Spain's quick and smart style of play made it very difficult for the German team to defend, especially Iniesta, who performed very well. He has improved greatly compared to when he was fighting side by side with Su Dong, and his progress is very obvious.

Subsequently, Spain seemed to find the rhythm of the attack.

Fabregas knocked back, Ramos then inserted into the penalty area, and Torres beat Mertesacker's header and hit the crossbar.

This is the left flank of the attacking German team.

"Now the left is a bit tight, and the midfielder's support for the left is not strong enough. It's dangerous to go on like this." Su Dong shook his head.

The German team is in a very bad situation now. They can't steal the ball from Spain, and they can't control the ball from Spain.

In fact, as early as in the semi-final match against Turkey, although Lahm was elected as the best player of the game, he had a big defensive problem on the left. Aragones obviously saw this, so from the beginning of the game, he unswervingly played on the left of the German team.

The left side was hit, and the entire attack of the German team was contained by the opponent.

"Ram can handle it," Beckenbauer said.

Su Dong turned his head, glanced at the football emperor, and then looked at the stadium. He didn't know that Beckenbauer overestimated Ram?Or underestimate Spain?

At least Sudong is very clear that Ramos, Iniesta and Torres, when these three players are active on this side, any defense line in the world will feel tremendous pressure, not to mention that the German team now relies on Ram on the left.

Sure enough, Marcos Senna made a direct pass, Harvey stopped the ball and turned around, and then sent a through pass.

Torres waded the ball into the penalty area, goalkeeper Lehman abandoned the goal, and Lahm immediately stuck Torres behind him, trying to buy time for Lehman to catch the ball.

Unexpectedly, Torres suddenly overtook from behind Lahm in a corner, and at an extremely fast speed, he rushed the ball into the goal of the German team before Lehmann, [-]-[-]!

Beckenbauer was surprised to concede a goal, but Su Dong did not feel this way.

Perhaps because he knows Spain, he knows the strength of this team and this group of players.

But in the eyes of others, things are not like this.

This is why, after Aragones did not bring Raul, it caused such a huge controversy all over the world.

In the eyes of everyone, Raul is the symbol of Spain and the core fighting force of Spain.

But who would have thought that without Raul, Spain would change its style of play, adopting a style of play similar to that of Barcelona, ​​with Marcos Senna at the back, Xavi and Iniesta in the middle, plus David Silva, Torres and other players, which made Spain play more smoothly, faster and more impactfully.

Isn't Torres best at frontal impact?
From this point of view, when Aragones decided to attack the left side of the German team, Ram was destined to be sad.

Lahm was responsible for the conceded goal just now, at least because of a misjudgment.

……

At the end of the game, the German team failed to reverse the situation.

Even though Loew replaced Kuranyi and Gomez successively, the offense improved, but he still failed to change the situation on the court.

Spain, with Barcelona players in midfield, was so dominant that Germany couldn't do much.

In the end, the German chariot lost zero to one.

Aragones led Spain to the European Championship.

After a lapse of 44 years, Spain finally won the European football again!

……

"Su, what do you think of this game?" Beckenbauer asked suddenly.

Su Dong knew that the Emperor of Football had something to say about the school, so he thought for a while and said, "If the goal is conceded, Lahm is responsible, but judging from the performance of the whole game, Spain deserved to win the championship. There is no doubt that the German team will lose to the opponent in terms of overall strength, but in the real game, it is possible to win [-]-[-]."

Football games are like this, full of all kinds of chance.

If it weren't for Lahm's mistakes, maybe it would be zero to zero tonight.

But the overall strength of the German team is weaker than that of Spain. It goes without saying that anyone who has watched the game knows it.

"Where is Loew?" Beckenbauer asked again.

Su Dong nodded, "Very capable, but soft-tempered, lacking in on-the-spot adjustments, but generally speaking, very good."

After hearing this, Beckenbauer laughed out loud.

He found that Su Dong is really a player who likes to think, which is very rare.

Those who know how to use their brains can be invincible!
"Did you know? The German team under Loew's coaching has improved faster than we expected. With such a team lineup, it can reach the European Cup final. To be honest, no one will question it."

Su Dong agreed with Beckenbauer's statement that the German team's lineup can reach the final, even against Spain, it only lost one goal, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.

"We still have to wait until the Bundesliga is booming. At that time, the generation of Toni Kroos should also take the lead. At that time, the German team will truly be considered to have completed the transformation. I believe that the German team will be more competitive and effective at that time. However, Spain will be old by then."

The difference between the national team and the club is that the national team relies on the youth training of the country.

It is difficult to figure out things like youth training, the risk is too high, and the success rate is too low, but there will always be a wave of explosions every few years.

Spain is now in the age of talents, especially from Iniesta, David Silva to Cesc Fabregas and Torres, it can be said to be a gathering of talents.

Now, they have achieved results!
Judging from Spain's current performance, they will still be the favorites in the World Cup two years later, and their overall strength may even be stronger than now, because Iniesta and others will be more mature at that time.

As for the German team, Beckenbauer said to wait until Toni Kroos's generation.

Toni Kroos is now 22 or 24 years old. When he matures and becomes effective, he will be at least [-] or [-] years old. In other words, it will not be until [-] at the earliest, and most likely in [-] or [-].

This is the difference between the national team and the club.

The club can introduce suitable players according to the needs of the team, and immediately make the team more complete and more effective, but the national team can't, they can only rely on the cultivation of their own youth training talents.

The ups and downs of the national team's performance can be traced, and the performance in the next few years can be clearly predicted based on the emergence of talents.

But what really touched Sudong was not Beckenbauer's expectations for the future of the German team, but their long-term planning.

Not only Germany, but as far as Su Dong knew, Spain was the same.

Although football is very popular in these countries, on the other hand, their youth training is also down-to-earth and long-term planning.

Needless to say, Spain is now ushering in the harvest period, and the German team, according to what Su Dong learned, Beckenbauer and others have foreseen the shortage of German football talents since [-], and started to reform the youth training. Starting from the bottom, the German youth training system has been drastically reformed.

Ten years to cultivate people, it was the youth training reform ten years ago that made the German team reach the European Cup final ten years later, and even had young talents like Toni Kroos.

Now, the German team is ushering in a wave of gains, and there is hope for the European Cup in the future, and even the World Cup champion.

Su Dong admired the long-term planning of Germany and even the European football powerhouses, as well as their youth training. Looking back at his motherland...

This European Cup final seemed to be just a game, but it gave Su Dong a very vivid football lesson.

At least, he knows better than ever how football should be played!
How to make a world-class team!
……

While Su Dong was thinking about youth training, Beckenbauer was thinking about him.

Loew has expressed his favor for Su Dong in front of the football emperor more than once, and judging from tonight's final, the weakest link of the German team is the center, which lacks a world-class center.

Not only now, but also in the foreseeable future.

Who would have thought that the German team, which had world-class centers such as Gerd Müller, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, etc., now does not have a top center, how embarrassing is this?
If Sudong can be naturalized, it will definitely greatly enhance Germany's competitiveness.

At least against Spain tonight, the German team will be more confident.

Although Su Dong has clearly rejected many invitations from the national team, Beckenbauer is still determined to find an opportunity to try his luck.

What if he changed his mind?
