"The current development trend of the Bundesliga is very good, I believe that with time, it will soon surpass Serie A and become the world's top league!" Middendorp concluded confidently.

  Have to say, Miedendorp's eloquence is indeed good, he shouted, others can only nod, as if the whole scene was taken away by him.

  Heidi squeezed out a thread of appreciative smile for Middenstorp, but looked at Yang Cheng, as if hoping he could stand up and say a few words, even if they were irrelevant.

  Yang Cheng immediately felt everyone's eyes piercing through his body like needles.

  "I heard you've been in Germany for many years, so you should know something about the Bundesliga, right? Say something!" Middendorp couldn't resist teasing Yang Cheng while extending the invitation. Everyone knew that Chemnitz had no hope of promotion, and Bielefeld was a sure winner.

  Yang Cheng also got tired of it and felt that talking to this group of optimists was a waste of breath. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm new here and not very clear about these things. I can only listen and learn from the side!"

  Miedendorp smiled slightly complacently, as if he had defeated Yang Cheng in front of Heidi Krumb and could take the beauty home, and even took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, planning to thoroughly trample Yang Cheng under his feet.

  "No wonder, Chemnitz has been weak for many years and is in the east, it's normal that news isn't spread quickly. And you, Mr. Yang, come from a country with weak football, so it's natural that you don't quite understand the trend of Bundesliga, can be understood!"

  As soon as this sentence came out, not only did Yang Cheng's face change color, but also Ju Qiao's face didn't look good. He was an East German player, and for people from East Germany, the most sensitive thing was being looked down upon by Westerners, so Ju Qiao was about to get angry.

  Yang Cheng pulled him and sneered: "Is a weak team necessarily inferior to a strong country? If so, why did Denmark defeat Germany in the 1992 European Cup?"

  Everyone did not expect Yang Cheng to retort, Miedendorp's face changed, and everyone else had an expression of watching a good show.

  "That's just a temporary luck, play 10 more games and Denmark may not even win one!"

  Yang Cheng burst out laughing, "The European Cup final is only one match, where did the idea of playing 10 more come from? Even if it's decades or even hundreds of years later, everyone will still remember that in 1992, at the Swedish European Cup, the ugly duckling Denmark defeated the invincible world champion Germany and won the first European Cup in history. Do you think, even if Germany wins against Denmark by a landslide 10 times now, is it necessary?"

  Heidi nodded and giggled after hearing this, obviously she supported Yang Cheng.

  "Hmph, even if Denmark was deprived of a championship, what's the big deal? The strength of German football is well-known to all, with players like Müller, Sommer and Bierhoff in their prime. This summer's European Cup, we are the biggest favourites to win it, and the development momentum of the Bundesliga is also rapid, aren't these facts?"

  The people around nodded in agreement with Miedendorp's analysis and insight after hearing it.

  "Right, you're not wrong, but we Chinese have a saying: 'If one does not think about the distant, he will worry about the near.' I admit that Germany is strong now, but look at this batch of German stars, you mention the three musketeers, Klinsmann is 32 years old, Brehme is 35 years old, Matthaus is 35 years old, Sommer is 29 years old, and Bierhoff is 28 years old."

  "Moreover, players like Shaqiri and Xhaka are almost 30 years old. Even if you win the European Cup this time, what's the point? What about the World Cup in France two years later? The European Cup four years later? How old will these players be by then? How many of them can still carry the team?"

  "You might refute my words, thinking that a new batch of young players will emerge in due time. But take another look at the current state of German football - how many outstanding players are there around the age of 20? The most impressive one I can recall is the German U21 team's 4-1 thrashing by France in the European U21 match this March, a shameful exit!"

  "Everyone knows that this batch of players will be the backbone of Germany in the next few years. Just look at the gap between them and other countries, not to mention the stunning France, even the champion Italy and runner-up Spain, which one is not better than Germany?"

  Yang Cheng pointed at Miedendorp and sneered, "It's precisely because there are too many people like you in German football today who think they're right and blindly optimistic that the youth training is so bad, and Germany doesn't have young newcomers emerging to take over from Klinsmann and his generation. So when someone like Ballack or Kehl finally appears, the whole of German football goes crazy for them - is it really necessary?"

  "Football is a game of 11 people, one or two players can't change the situation, and can't support Germany's future. If you want Germany to be truly strong, you still need to work hard on youth training and club management, rather than relying solely on star players and broadcast sponsorships to boost the league's influence. Otherwise, it will only lead to self-destruction!"

  The 2002 collapse of the German league was rooted in the collapse of the broadcasting system, after which the Bundesliga rapidly declined and later almost fell behind Ligue 1 to become Europe's fifth league.

  Although some people thought that the Bundesliga was the healthiest league at that time, it is an undisputed fact that the Bundesliga was not competitive enough. Compared to the strong Bundesliga today, it really fits a saying: Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other side!

  "Good words!" Heidi Klum's eyes were shining with a smile of approval, then she said pointedly: "Compared to some blindly optimistic and arrogant people, Mr. Yang's words are thought-provoking!"

  Yang Cheng smiled and nodded towards Heidi, expressing his gratitude for her support.

  "Hmph, alarmist!" Miedendorp was somewhat disdainful.

  "Not at all an exaggeration!" A loud and clear laughter came from behind, it was the returning Football Emperor Beckenbauer. "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang, apart from his excellent coaching skills, also has a unique insight into football management. Originally, I and the FA chairman have been thinking about the future of German football, but we couldn't find the crux of the problem. Now hearing you say this, we suddenly realized that our worry lies in the lack of youth training!"

  Next to Beckenbauer was a middle-aged German, about the same age as him, with an air of superiority, nodding constantly: "That's right, thinking about the situation in German football in recent years, it is indeed lacking in young and promising new players. This season, however, there are two newcomers, Ballack and Kirsten, both from Chemnitz, who have performed impressively, which confirms Mr. Yang's words!"

  The Football Emperor and the FA Chairman have spoken, and everyone present can't say anything more.

  Two heavyweight figures participated, and everyone's speech became cautious, fearing that they would accidentally say something wrong. However, the attention of both Beckenbauer and Kahn was focused on Yang Cheng, asking him some questions about his previous statements on youth training. Yang Cheng relied on some football knowledge from his past life to express some unique insights, which occasionally made the two men highly approving.

  It wasn't until the awards ceremony at the banquet was about to begin that Beckenbauer and his wife left under the urging of staff members.

  "This Yang Chen is quite impressive, I heard you're planning to invite him to Bayern?" the Football Association chairman asked while walking.

  Beckenbauer smiled and nodded, "But he refused!"

  "Huh?"

  "Haha, I guess he doesn't want to continue being an assistant coach, but it's not surprising. If he can gain more independent coaching experience, his future prospects will be boundless!"

  "But Chemnitz is definitely not the ideal place to make achievements!" The Football Association chairman said with a few sighs, the Football Association has also been supporting eastern football in recent years, but progress has been slow and the effect is minimal.

  "It can be seen from his outburst!"

  Beckenbauer's words made both of them burst out laughing, they thought Yang Cheng's previous outburst was simply because many players in his team, including Ballack and Klose, were lured by big clubs.

  However, because of this, Yang Cheng has added a layer of depression and frustration in the impression of many people on the scene.

  It is worth noting that those who can attend the banquet are not only professional coaches, but also some directors and officials of the Football Association, who are often high-level club officials, such as Beckenbauer, who serves as chairman of Bayern.

  As for everything that happened at the wine conference, and Beckenbauer and the Football Association chairman's high praise of Yang Cheng, many people saw it in their eyes. This is also why so many people are willing to attend the professional coach wine conference, especially some small club head coaches, they come not only to accompany the winners, but also to show themselves on such a stage.

  While countless people on the scene envied Yang Chen for getting praised by Beckenbauer and the Football Association chairman, Yang Chen himself was not aware of this. He just chatted happily with Heidi Klum.

  Especially after the awards ceremony began, Yang Cheng suddenly discovered that Heidie Klum was there to present an award to him.

  "It seems we really have a good fate!" Heidi Klum said with a smile as she handed the award to Yang Cheng, and then under the gaze of everyone in the audience, tightly hugged Yang Cheng, pressing her slender figure into his arms, causing all the men present to be in an uproar.

  After the two parted ways, Yang Cheng immediately felt the eyes of all the men on the scene, filled with envy and jealousy.

  "Is this supposed to be a reward for winning?" Yang Cheng asked with a wry smile.

  Heidi Klum burst out laughing, nodding repeatedly: "Alright, but you should consider taking me out for a meal to make up for your last-minute escape!" She even gave Yang Cheng a sly and charming glance.

  This sentence immediately caused another stir among all the people present, this is a naked invitation and implication!

  It seems that Germany's No. 1 beauty is going to take the initiative!
