In the 18th round of the league, Kaiserslautern challenged Winterhaxing away.

This team with the best performance in the first half of the Bundesliga and the strongest offensive ability seemed to have lost the crazy goal frenzy in the Bundesliga after a leisurely winter break. Kaiserslautern, known for his attacking power, was frozen by the defense center of Winterhaxing in the whole game.

The score of 0:1 makes people feel depressed. Bayer, who replaced Yang Cheng to command the team, has done his best, but he still cannot bring some confidence to the players because they are all used to the young head coach who always stands on the sidelines to command the game. Without him, the team will feel like they have lost their backbone.

After the game, Yang Cheng walked into the locker room. He was a little angry. When he saw the locker room, many players had panic and lost their usual calmness. However, when they saw Yang Cheng pushing open the door of the locker room and walking in, they couldn't help but stand up one by one, as if they were holding on to the life-saving straw, he finally understood that it was himself who was the one who was forced to draw the team.

At this moment, Yang Cheng was really moved because he really felt the deep dependence on him in the players, he was the soul of this team and the solid backing of everyone.

In every game, no matter how hard or tired the players are, they can just look back and see him in front of the coach's seat, and then they will be full of energy to join the game again, so when one day they find that the person standing on the sidelines is not theirs, they will panic.

Paul and Bayer made adjustments, but they did not trust him. They would doubt in their hearts that if the boss was there, would he make such a decision?

It is this suspicion that leads to problems in the team's execution, which leads to the team being eventually tied by the opponent!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly felt ashamed. Fortunately, he wanted to scold them just now, but now...

"I'm sorry!" Yang Cheng said loudly. At this moment, he sincerely apologized to every player in the locker room, "I apologize to you, I'm sorry!"

The players were all stunned. Yang Cheng, who had always been stubborn and refused to admit defeat, actually apologized to them?

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng bit his lips tightly and passed by the players one by one. He hugged them one by one, encouraged and affirmed them. The whole process seemed extremely long. After he finished the whole lap, he returned to the middle of the players and spoke again.

"You performed impeccably in this game. I was responsible for not winning this game. It was because I was suspended and our team almost lost. So I want to apologize to you. It was me who let your 90-minute efforts go completely. I feel ashamed!"

"Don't say that, boss!" Bremer said immediately.

Veron also walked forward, "Yes, boss, don't say that, we never think it's your fault. On the contrary, we all feel ashamed of you if we failed to win this game!"

The players all nodded, obviously agreeing with the words of Beron and Bremer.

"Boss, you have always imagined it for us, and you have always supported this team. Now we promise you that during your absence, we will do our best to win every game!" Barack put his shoulders tightly on Yang Cheng and earnestly promised.

"Yes, boss, don't worry, we will definitely win the opponent in the next game!" Denilson also clenched his fists.

"I will never let you down again, boss!" Desler also promised guiltily. If Yang Cheng was the culprit, then everything was for his weakness at that time.

Yang Cheng looked at the faces in front of him. At this moment, what he saw was not the images in his memory, nor the stars who only heard the names in his previous life but never saw real people, but a living player, a group of comrades who love to wear themselves and are willing to support and help him in critical moments!

"As you said, boss, you often teach us that on the football field, we must know how to sacrifice for our teammates, because teammates will sacrifice for us when we need it. And all the time, you are the boss who sacrificed for us. Now, it's our turn to sacrifice for our teammates!"

Bremer stepped forward and came to Yang Cheng, "Guys, comrades, are you right?"

"Yes!" The players roared in unison.

"On behalf of the team, I promise you that we will not lose to any opponent in the next game, no matter which game it is, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how hard or tired we work, we will do our best to win every game and will never disappoint you again!"

"I will never let you down!" The players shouted again.

Yang Cheng suddenly felt a sense of emotion, and tears almost poured out of his eyes, but he held back his tears and nodded constantly.

"Let me listen first, although I think you can do it!"

One sentence made the originally tense atmosphere relax, and the players immediately laughed.

Kaiserslautern ushered in his first defeat in the season, and the media naturally shifted all the responsibility to Yang Cheng, believing that Kaiserslautern, who lacked the head coach, became fragile, and Yang Cheng became synonymous with young impulses.

Except for a few more authoritative sports newspapers, most of the other newspapers all accused Yang Cheng, but at this time, the Kaiserslautern Free Press, who was appointed by Gran and Nak, once again assumed the responsibility of defending Yang Cheng. He denounced those who had ulterior motives in the column, believing that Kaiserslautern's first defeat in the season just showed the importance of Yang Cheng to this team.

"Some people say that Kaiserslautern is the city of Caesar, so Kaiserslautern is Caesar's team, so Yang Cheng is this team, Caesar of this city, he is the unquestionable authority, he is the core of the soul of this team, and without him, everyone has seen how powerful Kaiserslautern's combat power is."

"There is no doubt that in the three league games that Yang Cheng suspended, Kaiserslautern will usher in the most difficult schedule of the season, but I think that at this time, all Kaiserslautern fans should do not criticize the team who takes the blame and criticize our Caesar, but should support the team, support Caesar, and support Yang Cheng's return to the king!"

"I firmly believe that when our Caesar returns to the team, our Kaiserslautern will become extremely powerful; I firmly believe that we have the ability to defeat all opponents; I firmly believe that a Kaiserslautern, led by Caesar, has the ability to win any trophy and any honor!"

It seemed to be to echo Gran, Naker's column, and Kaiserslautern fans also appeared in the Tillingen training ground in the first training class after the game. They pulled up banners with various slogans supporting Yang Cheng, and even a fan group shouted the slogan "Caesar! Caesar!" outside the training ground.

This is the first time that the team gave Yang Cheng a nickname, which is also his first nickname!

When Yang Cheng saw all this in the training ground, he suddenly had an impulse and came directly to the training ground. Facing the fans outside, he shouted loudly, "I promise you that I will repay everything you have done today with ten times or a hundred times. This is me, Yang Cheng, what I promise to you today!"

The fans immediately applauded and cheered because they heard Yang Cheng's firm confidence from these words!

A week later, Fritz, Walter Stadium, and Kaiserslautern, under the witness of more than 30,000 Red Devils fans, slaughtered the Stuttgart Kickers team 2:0, and washed away the decline in the previous round and scored another 3 points.

However, in the following week, Kaiserslautern challenged Jena away. This dark horse team in the Bundesliga last season had a decline in performance this season, but they were still tenacious at home. In the absence of Yang Cheng, they suddenly used a cold arrow after the start and broke the deadlock on the court in the 9th minute.

This was a on-site command error by Paul and Bayer, conservatively following the tactics arranged by Yang Cheng before the game without responding. If Yang Cheng was there, with a little adjustment, he might not have conceded the ball so quickly.

After leading, Jena began a conservative defensive counterattack tactic, while Kaiserslautern continued to put pressure on him, especially in the 57th minute of the second half, Perron once again took advantage of a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt to score directly and equalize the score.

But in the next 35 minutes, Kaiserslautern bombed Jena indiscriminately, but the results were very little, and the score finally reached a draw with 1:1.

In the three league games where Yang Cheng was absent, Kaiserslautern won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, not only breaking the unbeaten golden body this season, but also shortening the gap with Hertha Berlin, the second-place in the league.
