Optimistic about Dot's German Super Cup win
The German Super Cup will start on August 18, Beijing time, and the Bundesliga defending champion Bayern and Dortmund will have a strong dialogue.
Speaking of this focus match, Yang Chen believes that Dortmund will win the championship.
"Bayern has been slow to enter the state, because before most of the players participated in the European Cup, the training period was relatively short and needs to be adjusted and recovered, so the state has ups and downs, but this is also normal. At present, Dortmund left the team in Sancho After not being affected too much, I personally feel that Dortmund’s passion is higher for this Super Cup on Wednesday."
For the new season of the Bundesliga, Yang Chen said that Bayern is still optimistic about winning.
"Since Kahn succeeded Rummenigge, the entire club leadership, coaching staff, including players have undergone a certain exchange of blood. I think Bayern may not show the domineering style of the past in the first few rounds of the league, but in Bayern will definitely be a benign operation afterwards."

At the upcoming node of the German Super Cup, Yang Chen was officially elected as the legendary star of the Bundesliga.
In response, he said: "I have played in Germany for about 5 years. In terms of personal football experience, this is the best stage. The Bundesliga has trained me so that I can finally be selected for the national team and play for the country. I hope that I can play for the country. His experience can be passed on to China, and I hope that more young Chinese players will go to other leagues to get exercise."
"Our players, whether they go to the top five European leagues or other European leagues such as the Netherlands, Belgium, etc., are a very good thing. Many South American players go to Europe to play, and they are not in the top five European leagues at the beginning. Sometimes Will go to the Eredivisie or the Swiss Super League, this is a way for them to adapt to the European League." Yang Chen said.

The U16 age group has a wider selection of materials, but not many outstanding ones
Yang Chen has been working for four months in the national junior team. This weekend, the team will start a new round of training.
For this new role, Yang Chen admits that he has less time.
"The training cycle for a youth team will be very long. It will require more technical skills and a lot of time, including more detailed and thorough training for them."
Speaking of the current situation of the national team, Yang Chen admitted that the selection of talents is wider than that of previous sessions, but there are not many outstanding players.
"There are two or three outstanding players or players with more characteristics. They still need some training. Young players are not the same as adult professional players. Those (adult professional players) can be used immediately. But for these young players, we have to train them and make some good improvements for them."
Yang Chen said that he currently values the combination of training and competition, but he believes that domestic players are not as good as European youth players on this point.
"Our training and the game are still a bit out of touch, not fully integrated with the rhythm of the game, this is our gap. In fact, Chinese players, including when we were young, are not bad in basic skills, but in confrontation, rhythm, intensity, etc. In terms of changes, we did not integrate the game well, which caused inadequacy when playing the game."
"These young players are doing very well when there is no confrontation, but when someone is rushing and confronting, some technical movements will be out of shape. Therefore, we must put the game environment and rhythm in training to be more realistic. Competition. I usually share my experience of studying abroad in Germany in the form of a story with them in terms of skills and tactics, hoping to make them more acceptable and helpful, but I am not particularly sure that they can really How much to absorb." Yang Chen said.

"How to twist our players, including naturalized players, into a single rope, stabilize their mentality of participating in the competition, and play well with a normal heart is very important. Our national football team not only had the characteristics and abilities of the players at the time, but the most The important point is that Milou kneaded the players together very well, and everyone's mentality was particularly stable."
Regarding the prospects of the national football team in the top 12 matches, Yang Chen said: "In the top 12 stage, no matter which group the national football team is in, the opponents are strong teams. Both groups are very strong. We must first understand what we are. Strength, set the right position, fight one by one, and analyze the opponent well.
