When there are competitions, time always passes quickly, especially in such competition-based competitions.

Before we knew it, three days passed and the smoke of the semi-finals began to ignite.

There were two semi-finals, one in Sao Paulo and the other in Belo Horizonte. If Yang Cheng had to choose, he would of course choose Sao Paulo, but unfortunately, the host is Brazil, so this match between Brazil and England started at the Molonbi Stadium in Sao Paulo.

The fight started at the door of his base camp, and of course Yang Cheng would not let him miss it, so he specially brought his coaching staff to the Molonbi Stadium to watch the duel at close range, and what he attached most to was the Brazilian team.

Scolari's team is very varied, and can be able to attack and retract to defend. It is a type that can attack and defend well. It is indeed a strong team. Perhaps on some levels, there is still a certain gap with Spain and Germany, but the strength of this team is absolutely unquestionable.

Besides, this is Brazil, and no one can doubt the Brazilian's determination to keep the Hercules Cup in Brazil.

Brazil's main attacker, England's defense against the counterattack was also expected before the game, and the game was difficult. England's defensive organization was well organized and could reach the semi-finals. Hodgson's team relied on iron defense, while Brazil's offense was indeed not ideal.

To a certain extent, the current Brazilian team lacks the top superstars in offense. Although there is a Kaka, they are not young after all. Although Neymar and Robinho have always been highly expected, they have never shown the potential and strength of top players, resulting in Brazil's offensive ability not being strong.

The stalemate between the two teams has caused this game to be not good-looking, and it can even be said to be a bit boring, but no wonder. They have entered the semi-finals, who is willing to play offensive football?

In the end, Brazil assisted Hulk to break the deadlock with Kaka's sharp pass in the 67th minute. With this goal, Brazil defeated England 1:0 at home.

Although there is no problem with this goal, I believe that after the game, the English will definitely give some criticism of the referee's law enforcement standards in this game. However, this should have been expected. After all, this is Brazil, as the host, they do have the right to be taken care of by the referee.

"Scolari is indeed worthy of being Scolari, more strict and more oppressive than last year!" Benitez said in admiration. The combination of Scolari and Pereira, the two famous coaches, has indeed brought earth-shaking changes to the Brazilian team.

This Brazilian team is indeed far inferior to the past in offensive talents. At least they used to have 3r, Kaka, Adriano and others. But now they only have one Neymar who has not proved himself in Europe yet, and Hulk who plays in non-mainstream European leagues. In addition, they are the former superstar Kaka.

Looking at the Brazilian teams in the past, this attack lineup is indeed a bit shabby, and it can also reflect that there are indeed some problems in the talent training system of Brazil's football, or it can be said to be a fault. Of course, with Brazil's youth training ability, it will definitely make up for this point soon, but it is definitely too late for this World Cup.

"You can play whatever cards you give him. At least Scolari can lead this Brazil to the final. It proves that he is successful, there is no need to doubt this!" Yang Cheng's impression of Scolari is quite good.

A group of people walked out of the fan passage and left the stadium, but they didn't expect to meet Boske and Tony Grande who were also here to inspect their opponents. The two groups saw each other and smiled for no reason and walked towards each other.

"Ha, Vicente, are you here to inspect England?" After Yang Cheng came forward, he spoke first before he got close. This sentence undoubtedly means that the German team will definitely win in the next semi-final.

"No, no, no, let's check the next opponent Brazil!" Boske said with a smile.

"You remembered wrongly, the team that wants to participate in the third and fourth finals is England!" Yang Cheng looked like I was thinking about you, and he reminded Bosque with great importance, as if he wanted to step into the third and fourth finals.

Seeing his appearance, Boske and Tony Grande were not ready to argue with him. After saying a few words, the group simply found a place to sit down and have a good talk.

They are all old friends. Yang Cheng coached Real Madrid for so many years and has a very short relationship with Bosque and the coaching staff from Real Madrid. When they often go to the Bernabeu to watch the game, they still pay the box fee for Yang Cheng. It shows how strong the relationship is. However, when they are in the World Cup, they have never gotten together. This is the first time they have met.

Unexpectedly, after meeting, they will become endless opponents.

"Did you think about how to play in the third and fourth finals?" Tony Grand asked with a smile as soon as he sat down.

Yang Cheng laughed, "I tell you, if you Spain plays England, you must pull out their central defenders. This is England's biggest disadvantage. Brazil has not taken advantage of this well, so it's so hard to play!"

After saying that, this guy didn't speak to Boske and Tony Grand, and then said first: "I just told you because of our old friends for many years. Be careful Rooney. This kid is a cow, but rushing to death will definitely kill you!"

Tony Grand and Boske looked at each other helplessly, shook their heads. They were just one sentence, but this guy said so much in one breath, the typical Yang Cheng style that was unreasonable.

The smell of gunpowder obviously did not affect everyone's interest in chatting after getting together. They began to discuss some issues of this World Cup, such as the decline of South America. Yang Cheng felt that this was not a bad thing, but that South America was Europeanized, or to be more precise, a stage of adjustment of globalization.

"I believe that after this World Cup, the globalization of South America's tactical concepts will be further improved, and some well-adjusted teams will soon emerge. At that time, European teams may not be able to stop the rise of South American teams!"

Boske also agreed with Yang Cheng's judgment, but because he has not played as many South American teams as Yang Cheng, he is not so deeply impressed, but he also agrees with Yang Cheng's judgment.

"By the way. I heard that after this World Cup, are you going to retire?" Boske heard a recent news and looked at Yang Cheng with concern. After all, both of them have been old friends for many years.

Yang Cheng knew that this was the news recently released by the media that Yang Cheng would leave the German national team after the World Cup and officially retire, but the actual situation was that he had an agreement with the German Football Association. If he got the World Cup, he would retire. If he couldn't get it, he would continue to stay and coach until he got the World Cup.

However, this agreement has been captured by many media, which is also a depressing thing.

"What? I'm going to retire, are you happy?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Boske smiled slightly, "If it is true... it is indeed a pity, after all, you are still so young!"

"If I really retire, I just won't coach anymore, but I still can't do without football!" Yang Cheng said.

Boske was so happy when he heard this, "Is that so? Are the fans on the Internet saying true? Do you really plan to buy a football club and be your boss?" After that, he laughed.

"Are you going to find your next job in advance?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Boske was speechless and could only shake his head and laugh. This bastard said three words to be inseparable from psychological warfare.

"No, I plan to concentrate on running my football school. I hope to help my motherland, help football teenagers in Africa and more poor areas, so that they can become talents!" Yang Cheng answered the question seriously.

Boske has heard of Yang Cheng's football school. He and Real Madrid jointly founded football schools in Africa. Then he founded football schools himself in China. It is said that in China alone, his football schools have expanded to as many as 20, and have cultivated many young rookies for China every year.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the talented forward Gao Ren, who is currently attracting attention from all over the world in Ajax, is 16 years old, but has already won the opportunity to play as a substitute in Ajax. He is very fast, and his skills and all aspects are outstanding. This talented forward has almost broken all the goals scored by the Ajax youth team in the past, and countless celebrities are very optimistic about him.

This young player is regarded as the hope of the future by Chinese fans and is also highly expected by Yang Cheng. Although it has attracted the attention and competition of many giant teams, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​etc., have all extended olive branches to him, Yang Cheng personally came forward to prevent Gao Ren from transferring to his team and continuing to study in Ajax.

In addition to Gao Ren, there are other groups of supernovae, all from Yang Cheng's youth training school. According to the agreement between Yang Cheng and Ajax, when Ajax gets this player, he only needs to pay a not-so-high training fee. However, once Ajax sells the players again, Yang Cheng's football school can get a 10% share from it.

Take Gao Ren's current value as an example. Yang Cheng's football school can get at least 800,000 euros. If you stay longer according to the current momentum, your value exceeds 10 million yuan will be anytime and anywhere. After getting this amount of money, the football school can invest again to cultivate more rookies.

This is what Yang Cheng said. He has found a main business for football schools that is sustainable in business, and there are also some other business such as sponsorship, which can ensure the long-term operation of football schools.

The most important thing is that football schools are the best. Neither the Football Association nor the club can interfere with or affect the operation of football schools. After all, this is Yang Cheng’s own industry. Yang Cheng is famous in the current country and no one dares to move lightly.

"If you really decide, if I step down from the Spanish national team, I will take a position with you!" Bosque also felt that such a thing was meaningful, and his old friend Camacho coached the national team in China. With Yang Cheng's relationship, he was happy to do something.

"Free?" Yang Cheng asked with a look of stinginess.

Boske was stunned and laughed and scolded: "It's free for free, you're such a stingy guy!"

The group of people laughed at each other.

With Yang Cheng's current status and influence, if you look at the consulting groups of his football school, you can see many famous world-famous coaches in it. Each coach training class held in China is taught by the world's top coaches.

Domestic clubs are rich and Yang Cheng has something to do, so they invite the world-renowned coaches to teach in China. Then charge the head coaches of these clubs, and then use these fees to supplement football schools and other things. Just treat it as doing something meaningful for domestic football clubs!

Coincidentally, Yang Cheng met Bosque at the Molonbi Stadium. The German team arrived almost at the same time as Spain, but neither team chose to make a high-light appearance. Instead, they took a bus on the apron, avoiding the reporters' abdomen and headed directly from the airport to the hotel.

Brazil has entered the finals early. Whichever Germany or Spain can enter Rio de Janeiro has undoubtedly become the focus of all fans and media. But no one dares to say easily who can win.

Indeed, in the past two major competitions, the German team won Spain, but they were very dangerous in both games, especially in last year's Federation Cup final. If Ramos was not injured, Bosque's team might not have lost. In this game, Spain was not injured. The staff was very well-equipped to the German team.

However, some media believe that although Spain is in a well-equipped staff, the problem is that the staff is also aging.

Xavi is 34 years old. Iniesta is 30 years old, Casillas is 33 years old, Villa is 33 years old, and Xavi Alonso is 33 years old, plus Torres, 30 years old and Aveloa, 31 years old. This Spanish team that once swept Europa has now entered its twilight years of career.

Relatively speaking, the German team has the best personnel configuration, and the oldest in the team is Klose, 36 years old. However, the captain Ram is 30 years old, Schweinsteiger is 29 years old, Gomez is 28 years old, and Thomas Muller, Ozil, Tony Klos and others who are in their year of playing, the German team can be said to be very ideally combining old, middle-aged and young.

Relatively speaking, the German team is undoubtedly in its peak period. However, Spain is beginning to enter the adjustment stage, but Bosque wants to reorganize after playing this World Cup, promote new Real Madrid factions such as Parejo and Canales into the national team, becoming fresh blood. Therefore, both teams can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

At the press conference before the game, Yang Cheng said without doubt when facing the media interview, "The team entering Rio de Janeiro will definitely be our German team, because I know this team very well, I know their flaws and problems, and I know better than anyone how to defeat them!"

Boske also said confidently at the press conference, "We will definitely be able to appear at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Perhaps in the past two years, we have lost to the German team in the two most critical matches, but this does not mean that we are not as good as the other side. We just don't do well in some details."

"I have found an effective way to restrain the German team's offense. I firmly believe that we will be able to suppress the German team well in the game and then firmly control the initiative in our hands!"

Boske's remarks completely reflect his confidence in this game. No one can tell whether he is true or false, but one interesting thing is that he continues to line up the 4330 strikerless tactic in this game.

Goalkeeper Casillas, the defense is Aveloa, Ramos, Pique and Alba, the three midfielders Delarede, Busquets and Iniesta, and the three frontfielders are Pedro, Mata and David Silva.

This is a different combination, because in the past, Bosque always arranged Xavi Alonso to play in the midfield, but the position was slightly behind, but now he has turned to the younger Busquets, and Iniestara went to the middle and Pedro played in the left, which is indeed a surprising choice.

For the time being, no one can guess what Boske is thinking.

The starting lineup of the German team is still his own 4231 tactics. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Ram, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, the double midfielder is Schweinsteiger and Sven Bend, the attacking forward is Thomas Muller, Ozil and Podolski, and the forward is Gomez.

This lineup is also the strongest lineup of the German team. Unsurprisingly, Yang Cheng chose his most confident formation and tactics to welcome Spain. Both teams plan to restrain their opponents in the way they are best at.

It is difficult for anyone who has watched this big roster to guess who will be more confident in this game, because both teams are the giants in today's football world and the number one favorite teams to win the championship, but they were arranged in advance to meet in the semi-finals due to the schedule.

Therefore, some multimedia calls this game a championship battle that comes early. No matter who enters the final, anyone will become the champion's number one favorite team.

Of course, if the two teams fight too fiercely, they may be able to get a big advantage by the Brazilian team, which is waiting to be done.

But there is no doubt that this semi-final in Belo Horizonte has become the focus of world attention. After experiencing the dull match between Brazil and England, everyone hopes that Germany and Spain, the two strongest teams in the world, can contribute a pleasing and beautiful football feast.
