Yang Chengs fans (above)

  As the European Cup in England is approaching, 16 European teams have also started their final warm-up before the European Cup, and they have all confirmed one or two warm-up matches before the game to adjust the players' state before the big game.

  The Czech team's training camp is located in Italy, on the shores of Lake Garda near Milan. The scenery here is picturesque and the environment is beautiful, making it a famous tourist destination in Italy. When the Czech players arrived, they all looked very relaxed, without any tense atmosphere before the big game. Even after the morning training session, the players didn't forget to sign autographs and take photos with fans who had come from afar.

  There was only one person, frowning with a deep crease between his eyebrows, looking very downhearted.

  He is called Pavel Nedvěd, now a key midfielder for Juventus and the Czech national team.

  Almost 24-year-old Czech started his professional football career at Dukla Prague, where he played for two seasons in the second-tier league of the Czech Republic. In the first season, he was a member of the youth team and in the second season, he became a regular player and entered the top-level club Sparta Prague.

  Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is no longer the passionate young man he once was. Now married with children, he has come to understand the responsibilities of being a man and the head of a household. This makes him cherish his career as a player even more, and his performance on the field has become increasingly outstanding. He has been selected for the national team and has become a mainstay in the midfield for the Czech Republic.

  However, the Czech professional football league is not glorious and can't even be considered second-rate in Europe. So Nedved still doesn't know what his professional level is like today. He only feels that he should be one of the best at home from the evaluation of him by the Czech media.

  He also yearned to leave his country like others and make a name for himself outside, broaden his horizons, but on the other hand he was afraid because he didn't know if he could adapt to the outside environment, and he had a family to take care of, couldn't be like Janko Bo?i?, a lone wanderer.

  Jankole is a good friend he met in Sparta Prague, who was the youth player of Sparta Prague and transferred to Chemnitz in Germany last season. Although Chemnitz performed poorly in the first half of the season, they completely changed their face in the last 13 rounds and won 13 consecutive victories.

  East Germany is close to the Czech Republic, so the news of Chemnitz has also been widely spread in the Czech Republic. Yang Chen, a Chinese coach who led Chemnitz to a near-miraculous 13-game winning streak and helped the team avoid relegation, is said to be only 24 years old, the same age as Neuer.

  "We're all of the same age, but others are now Germany's hottest super-young marshal, while I'm just a father of two!" Every time Nedved thought about it, he could only sigh with a bitter smile.

  At that time, he had no idea that his fate would be completely changed in this European Cup, nor did he know that his fate would undergo earth-shaking changes in the future. At that time, he was just a very simple and curious young man about the world outside of Czech Republic.

  Last night, Sparta Prague called Nedved to inform him that the club had accepted a $1.5 million offer from Kaiserslautern, an offer that was too good for Sparta to refuse, and they hoped Nedved could have a good talk with Kaiserslautern.

  Then it was N'Djeng's agent, who also received the club's notice. After talking to N'Djeng, he told him some information, including Kaiserslautern's relegation and the team's past performance in the Bundesliga. At that time, Yang Chen's takeover of Kaiserslautern had not been reported in the Czech Republic, so his agent was not aware of it.

  Transfer, for Neuer now is a mix of joy and worry!

  He is delighted because he has long wanted to go out and make a name for himself, at least experience some of the foreign football atmosphere that Jan Koller introduced, he doesn't want to spend his whole life in Czech Republic; Worried, naturally, it's because of his family behind him, can his wife and children accompany him abroad? Can they adapt? Can he adapt to German football?

  A huge pile of worries, which made Nedved's heart always feel like there was a big stone on it, and he had been in a bad mood since getting up in the morning, and his enthusiasm for training had also decreased a lot.

  "What's wrong? You look unhappy!" Yankel walked up beside him at some point and asked with concern.

  Ned shook his head, "Nothing!" He wasn't a guy who usually complained to people around him.

  "Don't pretend with me anymore, I've heard it already, are you going to transfer?" Yankel asked with a smile.

  Nedvid saw Jankole's smile and thought this guy was just a heartless person, he was lonely and had no troubles like him, he was simply a show-off!

  "Transfers are a good thing, actually I'm quite envious of you, can play under the new season's account, if I had known he was going to leave, I would not have gone to Belgium!" Jankolle's face is full of envy.

  "What's up?" Nedved didn't quite understand.

  Yang Kuo laughed and said: "Right, we used to call him 'Head' in our previous team!"

  "Are you talking about Yang Cheng?" Nedved exclaimed.

  "Of course, who else but him?" Jankolle thought Nedved's reaction was also too strange.

  Nedvěd was really shocked at this moment, he didn't expect the head coach of Kaiserslautern to be Yang Chen, "Isn't he in Chemnitz?"

  Jankolle shook his head, "Kemnitz is not worthy of him, I told you that a long time ago. He will leave Kemnitz sooner or later. Now he can go to Kaiserslautern and definitely do more, unfortunately..."

  Yankel smiled and patted Nedved on the shoulder, "You're luckier than me, being able to play under him!"

  Nedved had apparently heard Jankole speak a lot about Chemnitz and Yang before, smiled, and was actually a little excited, at least he really wanted to know what kind of head coach Yang was!

  "He is a very special head coach, I'm not kidding you, he has high demands for every player, sometimes even harshly, but when you really meet his requirements, you'll find that you've improved, your contribution to the team is greater, and the team's performance is also better!"

  Yankole smiled, "Many reporters outside asked me why Chemnitz was able to achieve a miraculous relegation success from not winning a single game in the early season to 13 consecutive wins. I said I didn't know, they thought I was perfunctory, but actually I really didn't know, and I believe that at that time, there were only a few teammates who knew."

  "Our idea is simple, just do it according to the requirements of the head, one training session after another, one game after another. Whether it's training or a game, we give our all, and then when we react, we find that we have unknowingly won consecutively."

  "From 3 consecutive wins to 5 consecutive wins, from 10 consecutive wins to 13 consecutive wins. Every time I recall that period of time, I feel it's unbelievable. I still remember the most words our captain said was: every player should leave something in their career, not just scoring goals, not just winning championships, but something more profound!"

  At this point, Yang Kuo-le revealed his nostalgia for the past few months, "I really believe that in the past few months, it may be the most memorable period of my career, and I'm afraid there won't be another one in the future!"
