"Have a drink of water!" A staff member in uniform brought a glass of water to Yang Cheng and Paul Bier each.

  Yang Cheng habitually raised his head to take a look at this staff member, wondering if the German Football Association would also explode with some kind of Watergate incident like the English FA, but he retreated as soon as he took a glance.

  "Actually, Mr. Beikenbaoer, I've always had a doubt!" Yang Cheng smiled wryly and withdrew his gaze that was tempting to look at the uniform, leaning towards Beikenbaoer beside him and asked with a smile.

  "Call me Franz, don't be so formal!" Beckenbauer said with a smile, "Ask me anything you want!"

  "I've always found it strange, when the German Football Association hires people, don't they pay attention to their image at all?" Yang Cheng thought of the woman in her 40s wearing a crisp uniform earlier, oh my god, what a collapse!

  "Image?" Beckenbauer didn't quite understand.

  "Uh..." Yang Cheng was somewhat at a loss and didn't know how to explain, finally pointing to his own face, "It's just the appearance, at least don't pick ones that are too scary, okay?"

  Beckenbauer burst out laughing after hearing that, even Paul Breitner next to him found it amusing.

  It has to be said that men are particularly easy to get close to when they're talking about women, and Beckenbauer is no exception.

  "What's so strange is that I came from outside to inside and found out not only the lady just now, but also there isn't a single young miss in the entire Football Association building. Our club is the same, most of the female staff are over 30 years old." After finishing speaking, Yang Cheng shook his head with a helpless expression, as if he was regretful that he didn't have the advantage of being close to the water tower first.

  "Didn't you know?" Beikenbao asked with a smile.

  Yang Cheng was taken aback, as if there was something he should know?

  According to authoritative sources, if a company or organization hires an exceptionally beautiful young woman, the work efficiency of all male employees will drop by more than 25%. Therefore, in Germany, beautiful young women are rarely seen in large companies or organizations, and football is no exception!

  Yang Cheng was taken aback and stared blankly, what kind of logic is this?

  But then again, it seems to make some sense. If you hire a beautiful woman, men will surround her and work efficiency will naturally decrease. But is it really fair not to hire pretty women just because of this? This German guy is being a bit too much, isn't he?

  "You're indeed powerful!" Yang Cheng bitterly praised.

  Beckenbauer and Paul Breitner burst out laughing.

  "But to be honest, Yang Cheng, I think your weirdness makes sense!" Beikenbao said this time, as if he had a very close relationship with Yang Cheng, and patted his shoulder, "I also think we should invite some beautiful young ladies to work, as long as it's handled properly, it can greatly boost the employees' enthusiasm and mobilize their passion!"

  Yang Cheng also heard the implication in Beckenbauer's words and thought to himself that this legendary soccer star was not a good guy either.

  The unbearable wait was spent in the jokes of the relaxed men, and after the hearing began, Beikenbao went to the judges' seats, while Yang Cheng sat alone in front of the judges. During this time, Beikenbao also made a reassuring gesture towards Yang Cheng.

  It's clear that this football emperor is quite fond of young Yang Cheng!

  ……

  "You're saying you rushed onto the field because you saw an opposing player trample your teammate's knee and make further retaliatory moves?" asked a white-haired old German man, wearing highly myopic glasses, full of suspicion.

  "Yes!" Yang Chengyong replied sternly, "The evidence we submitted to the club fully demonstrates this point. My player is a 16-year-old skinny young man with very delicate and excellent skills, fast speed, but in the game, he suffered no less than 10 serious fouls from start to finish."

  "You can take a look at those photos, his right leg is covered in scars, these are ironclad facts, whether it's the photos or the referee's report, they all clearly reflect this point!"

  Yang Cheng, while speaking, these judges one by one took out photos to look at. These materials were all collected after the Kaiser Slautern match and handed over to the Football Association, with the purpose of defending Yang Chen.

  "I am a head coach, and I believe that everyone present is also very clear about the responsibilities of a head coach. I think I have sufficient reason, responsibility, and even obligation to use any means necessary to prevent a tragedy from happening when I feel that my players are being seriously violated!"

  "Yes, maybe his kick didn't hit the knee cap, maybe it was just an ordinary retaliation, but everything happened in a split second at that time, who knows? Who can analyze so many possibilities under such tension?"

  After a pause, Yang Cheng deliberately slowed down, "Yes, I must admit that I rushed onto the field and pushed the opposing player, which was against the rules and should be punished. However, I don't think I did anything wrong, at least my players were able to leave the field safely. But I hope all of you judges can take a moment to think about what football is really like as a sport?"

  "If everyone consistently thinks that football should be mainly physical confrontation, with offending and even hurting opponents as a defensive means, and technique and awareness are secondary, then I think the other side's approach is not a problem at all. However, if football should emphasize and value technique as a prerequisite, does their approach count as a kind of strangulation of technique?"

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have finished speaking. Regardless of your review results, I will respect them 100% and obey!"

  After finishing speaking, Yang Cheng sat down on the chair in front of the judges.

  Beckenbauer secretly admired the sincere smile of Yang, thinking to himself that this young man was truly a talent, not only excellent in coaching ability but also eloquent in speech, it seemed his success wasn't just luck and coincidence!

  …………

  …………

  The hearing was over in just half an hour, the judges had gotten what they wanted, and they would continue to meet to discuss the outcome of Yang Cheng's and Oerlikon's treatment, then they would fax the result to the club and announce it publicly.

  When Yang Cheng walked out of the hearing, Paul Bierdto, who was waiting outside, let out a sigh of relief, as if Yang Cheng had just been beheaded. As soon as they met, he asked repeatedly: "How was it? What did the judges say?"

  Yang Cheng didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, they still need to have a meeting, it will take some time before there's any result!"

  "Oh no, another meeting, I hope nothing's wrong?" Paul Bayer said with some concern.

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Beckenbauer walked out with a smile, "They still need to have a meeting, which means some of your words moved the judges. Based on my past experience, it should be from the lightest punishment, that is, suspension and fines. I estimate two or three games can't be escaped!"

  Yang Cheng suddenly burst out laughing, a ban of two or three games would not have much impact on him. Anyway, the German Football Association's ban could not be applied to European competitions. As for the fine, Frederic had said earlier that the club was responsible for the fine, so Yang Cheng didn't need to worry about the punishment at all.

  "How's it going? Don't worry, are you interested in coming with me to the FA chairman's office for a chat? Our group of old guys is very interested in some youth training ideas you mentioned last time. This time you've come to Frankfurt, we must have a good talk about it!"

  Yang Cheng was taken aback, shouldn't Germany's youth training have started around 2000? How did it suddenly start earlier?

  But thinking again, it makes sense. Many people think that the youth training plan was proposed around 2000, but for a rigorous country like Germany, they can't complete a national youth training plan in a short period of time. It must have been through long-term research and investigation.

  People like Oliver Bierhoff are absolutely not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart and must have seen the awkward situation of German players now, and they must have been thinking about how to solve it. One way is to reform youth training, and what he said before fits their idea of reform perfectly.

  Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of the large amount of content about Germany's youth training reform that he had seen online in his previous life. He thought to himself, since it was plagiarism anyway, if he could express these ideas in his own words, he might be able to prevent Germany's youth training from taking a detour and also improve his relationship with football bigwigs like Beckenbauer.

  Although it is a country ruled by law, in the football field, relationships are more important than anything else!

  Having understood this, Yang Cheng naturally did not decline and immediately followed Beckenbauer to the Football Association Chairman's office. Then, in front of the reformists at the German Football Association, he bluntly poured out all sorts of good reform strategies that he had seen online in his previous life, such as small-field youth training, emphasizing technique, cultivating creativity and interest, and so on.

  Yang Chen, whether coaching Kaiserslautern or Chemnitz, has always placed great emphasis on overall tactics and technical details. Now, the youth training concepts he has put forward are also very much in line with his own characteristics. Even Beckenbauer and others unanimously believe that these are all products of Yang Chen's own deliberation and research, and they are suddenly amazed by this heavenly man.

  Especially when Yang Cheng proposed a pyramid-shaped youth training structure from region to country, although what he said was very vague, it still made everyone present stunned, because many things had not been carefully studied and could not be concluded, while Yang Cheng could say so much, it was clear that he had done very professional research.

  When Yang Cheng's words were dry and tongue-tied, the Football Association's vote also woke up from being stunned, while Beckenbauer was smiling somewhat complacently, looking around and finding that everyone including the chairman of the Football Association nodded in agreement.

  Beckenbauer stood up, walked to Yang Cheng's front, smiled and said, "You said it very well, so we all unanimously decided that from now on, you are the technical consultant of our German Football Association youth training reform plan!"

  Suddenly, he was stunned and became Yang Cheng!
