124 Going to Maturity
In the 24th round of the league, Kaiserslautern welcomed Karlsruhe at home. Since the national team has just passed four days, although Yang Cheng used a substitute in the away game to challenge Slavia Prague, the state of the main players is still very sluggish, resulting in the team's final home court being tied by Karlsruhe 0-0.
Fortunately, Bayern also suffered a national team game crisis in this round, and was terrified by cloning at home, losing 0:2.
The points gap between the two teams widened to 9 points.
However, in the 25th round of the league, Kaiserslautern challenged Werder Bremen away. Although the team showed a relatively improved state and scored the game first, Werder Bremen curbed Kaiserslautern's offense with an extremely strong defense, and tied the score with a controversial penalty in the second half, 1:1.
Kaiserslautern ushered in two consecutive draws, but Bayern beat Bochum 1-0 at home in this round, narrowing the gap in points to 7 points, and the league championship was full of suspense again.
In the 26th round of the league, Kaiserslautern took the home court and defeated Munich 1:0 with Fanny's goal, and scored 3 points in a difficult position. However, later, Bayern defeated Bochum 2:1 and continued to maintain pressure.
Kaiserslautern fought hard one after another, and the preparation results were not ideal during the winter break, which led to the team's insistence on fighting on two fronts until now, and the players were a little tired of running. In addition, the situation has not been very ideal recently, and the previous outstanding performance has not been achieved, which has greatly affected the players' condition as the final stage of the game is approaching, and more injuries have increased.
Three days later, he was at home and welcomed Slavia Prague. Yang Cheng was determined to win this game. Players including Peron, Nedved and other players started. With the goals of Larson, Salihamidic and Deisler, he defeated Slavia Prague 3-0 at home. Nedved, a player produced by Sparta Prague, was elected the best player in the game.
In this game, Nedved was pushed to the front midfielder by Yang Cheng. The Czech Republic showed his rare comprehensiveness. Although he did not score, he had two high-quality long shots and almost scored, and he contributed two assists.
Yang Cheng replaced the Czechs in advance in the second half, and replaced both Peron and Larson to prepare for the weekend's away game.
In the 27th round of the league, Bayern Munich played the game one day in advance. They defeated Stuttgart 3:0 away, completely sending Love's team out of the championship circle. No one would doubt that the next Bundesliga championship belongs to the competition between Bayern and Kaiserslautern.
In this way, all the pressure was concentrated on Kaiserslautern.
Although Yang Cheng said he wanted to relieve pressure and he wanted the players to have no burden, the media's hype and attention, coupled with the unfavorable factors in the schedule, and Trapatoni's conscious news battle, all put Kaiserslautern under great pressure.
At the critical moment, Yang Cheng stood up again and focused everyone's attention on himself. He directly accused Trapatoni of his incompetence and conservatism.
"I have no doubt that Bayern is the most powerful team in the Bundesliga, but they are now only ranked second in the league. The reason is not because of the players, but because they have a conservative head coach. Even if Trapatoni is given two years, he may not be able to teach Bayern how to attack!"
"Midendorp? Yes, we are old opponents. I feel very sorry for his current situation, but this is a very cruel field, with strength first, and I am sorry for the experience of Bielefeld, but I can only give sympathy because we want to win!"
The rare media bombardment made Yang Cheng make the front page of German media all of a sudden, especially his bombardment of Trapatoni, which almost made the Italians crazy, but he was helpless because Bayern lags far behind Kaiserslautern in terms of goals.
Although it has been in crisis recently, Kaiserslautern scored 70 goals in 26 rounds, making it the strongest attacking firepower in the Bundesliga, especially the team's top scorer Fanny, who ranks first in the scorer list. Larson, Barack and other players have also ranked at the top of the scorer list, which shows the team's offensive strength.
On the other hand, Bayern can compete with Kaiserslautern for defense, but there is still a big gap in offense, so they scored 51 goals, far behind Kaiserslautern.
However, Yang Cheng's words failed to lead Trapatoni, but he pulled Midendop out.
This German, who has always regarded Yang Cheng as his nemesis, has spoken in the media. Bielefeld's relegation battle this season starts with Kaiserslautern. They will score more than 16 points in the next 8 rounds of the league and strive to succeed in relegation!
Yang Cheng sneered at this. When faced with the media's inquiry, he said a word, offensive!
After 90 minutes of difficult games, Kaiserslautern defeated Bielefeld 4-0 away!
Although Midendop had tried his best to win the game, his team was still not as good as others in the end, and his morale was very low, and he could not stop the wolf-like offensive that had been adjusted.
After the 27th round, Kaiserslautern finally had a rest because they had a full week of rest.
This is such a rare pleasure for Kaiserslautern, who is always holding on to the sturdy force and the team is as tightly tied up and down.
But the players can rest, but Yang Cheng cannot, because he is the team's head coach.
All the staff of Kaiserslautern know that it is always difficult to see the head coach in the office area of Fritz Walter Stadium, because if nothing special, he almost never enters the office area, at best, in the press conference hall or conference hall, and rarely enters the office.
But almost everyone will remember that every time Yang Cheng comes to the office, he is almost always angry and murderous!
This time is no exception!
People kept greeting Yang Cheng along the way. Although they belonged to different departments, they were full of respect for Yang Cheng because the team he led was in a state of unstoppable momentum in the Bundesliga this season.
When the team's performance is good, a series of benefits will come with it, such as business development, media attention, etc., which will benefit people from every department in the office.
In the final analysis, it is all the benefits Yang Cheng brought to them, so they always have a natural respect for this young Chinese, and there is always a sense of admiration and respect in their eyes when they look at him.
"Hello, Caesar!" When the secretary in front of the vice chairman's office saw Yang Cheng, he immediately stood up and said hello.
"Hi, Betty!" Yang Cheng was a little reluctant, but he still responded politely, "Is he here?"
Betty smiled in her heart. She had already told the rest of the office that the best way to face Yang Cheng is to say hello to him first, and it is better to have a smile and be polite, so that no matter how popular he is, he will respond politely.
He is actually a very polite and well-educated Chinese at heart!
"Here!" Betty nodded.
Yang Cheng thanked him, then turned around and walked to the side. After knocking on the door, he got permission before entering Mercedes' office.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Yang Cheng threw a notice he brought to Mercedes' desk.
This is a notice sent by the club's commercial development team to Yang Cheng for review, which introduces the itinerary for Kaiserslautern to attend sponsor activities in the next period of time.
In this regard, the club strictly abides by Yang Cheng's requirements and avoids drawing players to attend commercial activities when the event is busy. Although they are all in the city of Kaiserslautern, it will still affect the players. However, this week, during the week's rest period, the club plans to arrange players to participate in a sponsor's event.
"Sit down, my Caesar!" Melce knew Yang Cheng's temper and asked him to sit down. "This sponsor has asked many times, and they are one of the few big sponsors in our club. I really can't push it off and then I will follow it!"
Merce also showed a distressed expression, "And I have tried my best to accommodate your training time and schedule the event to end before the evening training, which will not affect your team's preparation!"
When Yang Cheng saw his grievance expression, he knew that these guys had figured out his character of not slapping smiley people, but shook his head, "I'm not talking about sponsorship activities, I'm talking about Desler!"
Melce is a man named Yang Cheng, who knows that he will not arrange an event for no reason, so he can understand it, but what he cannot accept is that he arranged for Deisler to attend the sponsorship event.
"Werner, we agreed before that Desler is the key protection target. He is not allowed to participate in commercial activities, so he cannot adapt!" Yang Cheng still has a great shadow on Desler's depression in his previous life. He was afraid that the genius star he had finally cultivated would repeat the mistakes in his previous life.
"Many players on the team can be competent for this role, such as Kyle, Deko, Salihamidic... Anyone can do it, don't choose Desler, ok?" This is the reason why Yang Cheng was angry!
This is a group activity, not only Desler goes there, but also Beron, Barack, Nedved, Fanny and other players. Yang Cheng can understand these, but he must not allow the club to make decisions without authorization to push Desler to the front.
The new international has attracted much attention recently, and even Beckenbauer was amazed, saying that Yang Cheng has cultivated a rare technical genius for Germany and believed that Deisler would be the top German superstar in the future.
But the more attention he received, the more worried that Desler would be overwhelmed.
"You blamed me wrongly, Yang Cheng!" Melce found out the reason for the incident and said with a wry smile.
Yang Cheng was stunned, "What does it mean?"
"I always remember the agreement with you, but this time it was Desler's request that he said he wanted to give it a try!"
Melce's words made Yang Cheng stunned for a moment, and he felt a little touched.
"Maybe you should talk to him well, Yang Cheng!" Melce thought it was something wrong between Yang Cheng and Desler.
Yang Cheng nodded, apologized to the latter, and then left.
"Hey, Sebastian, are you free?" Yang Cheng directly called after walking out of the stadium.
"Boss, yes, what's the matter?" Desler seemed to have encountered something in a good mood.
"Let's have a meal together!"
"Okay, I'm on Otbach Street!" Deisler agreed very readily.
"Then Isolabella, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng walked towards Otbach Street and arrived at the place soon.
Surprisingly, Deisler did not come alone, but his mother also came.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!"
"Hello!"
Yang Cheng asked the two to sit down and sat down in his exclusive No. 1 box. Close the door and no one could see them.
"I have always wanted to treat you to a meal. Thank you for your efforts for our family. I've been busy all the time and never had a chance. I'm sorry!" Desler's mother apologized apologized apologized.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly and uncovered it.
"I'll treat you to this meal today, Mr. Yang Cheng, thank you for your care for Sebastian and our family. Thank you very much!" Desler's mother was a little surprised.
Yang Cheng didn't know how to deal with it, but seeing that she was unable to refuse her affection, he could only nod and agreed.
"You talk, I'll leave first!" Desler's mother sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, she hugged and said goodbye to Desler.
Yang Cheng paid attention to the whole process. Desler kept laughing. It seemed that their family should get along well.
"Is there anything you need to find me, boss?" Desler asked with concern.
Yang Cheng almost never disturbs players' rest, and this is the first time he has found Desler on his rest day.
"Have you encountered any trouble recently?" Yang Cheng thought about his words and asked.
Desler frowned, thought for a while, and was a little confused, "No, boss, why do you ask like that?"
"It's nothing. I just looked at the team arrangements on Monday. They put you in the itinerary for attending sponsorship events, and said you took the initiative to ask for it, so I wanted to know if there is really something wrong with Sebastian, remember to tell me!" Yang Cheng said seriously.
After hearing this, Deisler smiled slightly. The smile was a little complicated and unpredictable. Is it joyful? Or bitter?
Yang Cheng looked at his disciples silently. Although Desler appeared more as a rotation and substitute after Schneider came to the team this season, his progress was obvious, and this was also the decision made by Yang Cheng to protect him.
Before his physical fitness is fully developed, Yang Cheng will not use him too much, so last season it was Fritz, this season it was Schneider, and even Salihamidic, who are all players competing for the main position with Deisler.
The two of them were silent for nearly a minute, pretending to look out the window, but Yang Cheng was waiting for Desler's confession, while Desler was considering his plans.
"Boss!" Desler finally broke the silence, "Actually, I know, you have been protecting me all the time!" His eyes were a little red, and his tone of speaking was also very sincere.
"Since you rushed into the stadium for me last time, I knew in my heart that you were for my own good. Everything you did was to protect me, take care of me, and help me adapt to this society better. So when you called me a coward, I felt very sad and blamed myself, because I knew that you were so angry at that time!"
Desler spoke as he felt like he was moved by his memories.
"We made it clear before. You ran to Rollach for me and personally convinced my parents. When I... When I saw my parents in the stands on the court, I felt a little touched. I really wanted to tell you, boss, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. I will do everything possible to repay your love and trust for me, and even sacrifice my life for no reason!"
When he said the last sentence, Desler had tears in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and spoke very firmly.
To be continued...
