130 The Road to Yang Cheng
130 The way Yang Cheng wants to take
The appearance of Sharon Stone was just a very small episode for the entire celebration. No one took this matter to heart. At least in Yang Cheng's heart, she was just a passerby.
The entire city-circling parade was very intense and enthusiastic!
It’s not that Kaiserslautern has won the championship. They also won the Bundesliga championship in the 90/91 season, but this time the championship is very different from before, that is, this time the championship is enough to make the whole city go crazy.
Although winning the championship in 90/91 season was also out of the trough, Kaiserslautern in 89/90 season was only on the verge of relegation, and eventually succeeded in relegation in advance without any danger. Therefore, the fans were just dissatisfied with the team's performance and had no other emotions.
However, Kaiserslautern was relegated two years ago, and the fans' image of the club almost collapsed overnight. They could not believe that as Kaiserslautern, a Bundesliga powerhouse, would have suffered a disgraceful relegation. Coupled with the club's financial problems, fans were pessimistic about the club's future and even some were desperate.
Yang Cheng carried all the dreams of all fans at this critical moment. He was like a savior who came out of a fantastic fairy tale. He led Kaiserslautern to win the championship with extremely excellent results, and at the same time won the four-time champion of the German Second Division, bringing fans expectations and hope.
But even so, no one thinks that the team can win the Bundesliga.
It was not until the end of the first half of the league that Kaiserslautern was in the league's leading position. All Kaiserslautern fans truly realized that the team they loved was so powerful. They truly realized that the team really had a chance to win the championship!
As a result, the frustration and depression of the whole two years were completely vented. The entire second half of the league was full of home games, and even the American soldiers chased and watched the game.
From the original disappointment, even despair, to the rekindled hope today, fans' emotions have fallen like roller coasters in two years, so when the team wins the championship, their joy is unprecedented.
The streets and alleys of Kaiserslautern were crowded with fans coming out to celebrate. This day seemed to have become a public festival in Kaiserslautern. Even the mayor of Kaiserslautern personally stopped the bus in front of the city hall, stepped forward to celebrate with Yang Cheng and the players, and kissed the Bundesliga championship sandbox.
Almost overnight, Kaiserslautern once again became a hero and symbol of the city. Previously, the impact of the team's relegation was completely eliminated, and the club's reputation was pushed to a higher level, even at its highest point.
The miracle of winning the championship by the newly promoted team is never in the history of the Bundesliga, but Kaiserslautern has done it. It is like the Bern miracle in 1954. It brings fans not only a champion, but also a spirit and an unyielding fighting spirit.
Yang Cheng, a 26-year-old Chinese, kept enjoying the cheers and love of the fans along the way. Almost every time he went to a place, Caesar's shouts continued.
No Chinese has ever been able to enjoy such treatment in a German city, he is the first!
He led Kaiserslautern to create a miracle and became the hero of Kaiserslautern and the most legendary genius head coach in the entire German football world!
After the celebration, he returned to the Fritz Walter Stadium. The Chinese Embassy in Germany and his group met with Yang Cheng under the witness of Capital TV and several authoritative media rushing from China, and thanked him for his great national prestige in Germany and his proud support for the Chinese.
Yang Cheng has long been used to this official form. After all, the head of the visiting team of Capital TV is his friend Ye Wen, so he cooperated to go through the motions and invited everyone to participate in the evening celebrations in Kaiserslautern. Everyone is not drunk and will never return home!
That night, almost half of Kaiserslautern's city fell into silence, and everyone gathered on the hill where Fritz Walter Field was located, as well as the nearby area of Otbach Street, where fans who were drunk from excitement and excitement could be seen everywhere.
In order to maintain public order, the police station had to temporarily dispatch more police officers to maintain order that night, and even borrowed a lot of police force from surrounding cities such as Mannheim to ensure the safety and order of fans during the celebration.
As the team's head coach, Yang Cheng also participated in the celebration, but he was very restrained because he knew very well that the 34th round of the league could not be paid attention to, but he must pay attention to the final of the Winners Cup.
If this championship is won again, Kaiserslautern will create another legendary history.
In order to prepare for the Winners Cup final, Yang Cheng specially gave the players two days off to let them take a good rest after the team won the championship. Especially the main players in the team, Yang Cheng decided to give up the 34th round of the league and prepare for the Winners Cup finals with all his heart.
"Knock~~"
Werner Melzer knocked on the door of Yang Cheng's office. He had just seen the head coach who had sent off the China interview team and returned to the training base. He must be in his office at this moment.
"Come in!" Sure enough, Yang Cheng's shout came from inside.
Merce walked in with a smile. Yang Cheng was the only one in the whole office, and some game videos were played on the TV. If you don’t watch it, you will know that it was a game video of Chelsea.
"Are you paying attention to the Winners Cup final?" Melzer was amazed.
Many people think that Yang Cheng’s success is a talent, but in fact it is because they don’t know Yang Cheng’s efforts.
No one in this world is destined to succeed. Even geniuses like Ronaldo can achieve today's achievements through hard training.
"Well, you know, this trophy has never been defended!" Yang Cheng said casually.
Werner Melzer nodded. He admired Yang Cheng's boldness and confidence very much. Because no one has defended the title, Yang Cheng wanted to be the first one, and perhaps the only one!
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Yang Cheng smiled and turned off the TV, came to the back of the desk and sat down, signaled to Meltze to sit in front of him, and then asked.
Merce shook the folder in his hand and handed it to Yang Cheng. "First of all, of course, it's about the presidential election in Xia Tian. So far, no one has proposed to participate in the election!" A hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
Everyone knows the record of Kaiserslautern this season. The head coach Yang Cheng is regarded as the biggest contributor to the team's championship, becoming the hero of the entire Kaiserslautern, and also becoming the biggest bargaining chip for Warner Melzer to win without a choice.
Everyone knows that Yang Cheng supports Mercedes!
"This is a good thing, congratulations!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Merzer shook his head, "You said that everything is not settled, everything is still possible!"
Yang Cheng laughed and cursed, feeling that Merce had plagiarized his famous quotes.
"But I'm here today mainly to talk to you about the club's power reform!" Melce smiled and said seriously.
Yang Cheng's expression also became serious. He knew that Mercen planned to take advantage of the team's championship and directly attack the board of directors, so that the members of the board of directors would be more settled and just have a name. Don't easily intervene in the team's management.
This is also what Yang Cheng had been encouraging him to do before. Now it seems that he has plans.
"Just as the special report just released by the Kickers magazine, since you coached Kaiserslautern, the team's revenue and expenditure have been very ideal for two consecutive seasons, especially this season, we will turn losses into profits!" Merce said with an excited look.
In addition to bringing prize plates to Kaiserslautern, he also had a considerable bonus. In addition to Yang Cheng's previous frugal style, most of Kaiserslautern's expenditure is on the players' salaries, but his income is good, especially in sponsorship income, which has increased a lot.
This is also a great contribution of Yang Cheng to the club. He reminded Melze to pay attention to developing sponsors, so he has the financial health of Kaiserslautern today.
"Win the championship this season, you will have more profits next season, but the players' salary expenses will also increase, so you should add more effort in commercial development!" Yang Cheng thought for a while and said.
Merzer nodded, "Yes, I think so too. Nike is currently interested in adding sponsorship fees. In addition, we are actively contacting new jersey sponsors and a series of other sponsors. These can bring us a considerable sponsorship income and improve the club's operating conditions!"
"The improvement of the stadium is also very important!" Yang Cheng reminded.
Currently, the operation of Fritz Walter Stadium is actually very backward. There is nothing else except for some of the most basic ticket sales and convenience stores, which is unimaginable to Yang Cheng.
Judging from the attendance rate of Kaiserslautern, fans' consumption capacity is very high, but the club has no corresponding measures, which is a huge waste. In the past, it could have been said that the club's fiscal revenue was not good, but now there is definitely no such excuse.
"My initial idea is to improve the hardware and business environment of the stadium, improve the training ground and youth training system, and improve the business team's operating capabilities. These must be completed during the summer league break!" Mercedes trusted Yang Cheng very much.
Yang Cheng showed a hint of appreciation and nodded: "I thought it well, but in this case, I'm afraid the team's income will be spent!"
Merce shrugged, a little helpless. He is now a small businessman. "That's why I asked you to nod, because if I really did this, it would be difficult to get the transfer fee for you this summer!"
On the one hand, the team has paid more bonuses after winning the championship, and the players' salaries must be improved as well. In addition, this series of actions, although the expenses are not very high, the team will definitely have no hope of operating in the transfer market.
Yang Cheng thought about it and the team's forward line and midfield are currently very strong, and the staff are also very neat. As long as the players do not leave, there is no need to make corresponding supplements. However, on the defense line, Yang Cheng hopes to introduce an experienced veteran.
To be honest, the performance of the defense line this season is not satisfactory. Fritz and Dede are both full-backs and have many opportunities to play, but they are mainly attacking in Yang Cheng's tactical system, so I won't talk about it.
Kosch, Lucio, Kyle, Kivo and Luis Hut are all candidates for central defenders, but apart from Kosch, Lucio has made great progress, but is a little frizzy. Kyle is relatively calm and can also serve as the forward organizer, but she is still relatively young. Kosch and Louis Hut are both very young.
In this case, it is okay to deal with the German domestic league, but once you reach the European Champions League, if you encounter those old rich clubs, especially the top teams with super offensive capabilities, Kaiserslautern's defense will definitely be blown up.
Those tactical styles that say that attack instead of defense and always score one more goal than the opponent are nonsense, because commanding a team with this tactical idea will definitely make everyone laugh.
If a team is compared to an infrastructure building, then the defense line is the foundation. The strength of this foundation determines how high your building can be built.
This season, Kaiserslautern's defense has made mistakes many times, and Yang Cheng has been mentally prepared for this. The player Kosch is good, but he has suffered a lot of injuries last season and his condition has been relatively fluctuating. He can be very good when he performs well, but he is not ideal when he performs poorly.
Yang Cheng wants a defensive core who can bring the team experience and stability at critical moments.
"This problem is not a big deal, but I have a requirement, which is to retain the current group of players in the team, and no one can leave!" Not giving transfer fees is not a big problem for Yang Cheng, but in addition to not making up for it, he still has to sell the players, which is definitely a negative manifestation.
Merce Zheng focused on the topic, "I have arranged a contract renewal for several players in the team and have started negotiations. I can guarantee you that none of these players will leave!"
"You can help me contact a main player!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"Who?" Melzer agreed without hesitation.
"Thomas Link of Schalke 04, this player's contract with Schalke 04 expires this season will be free to transfer. Currently, many teams including Bayern, Dortmund and others have fallen in love with him. I hope to bring him to Tillingen!"
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng added another sentence, "With him, we might be able to show our strength in the European arena next year!"
If you want to make a difference in the European arena, defense is the key. As long as you can defeat Thomas Link, the level of the defense line will definitely be greatly improved, and then Yang Cheng will be more confident.
But Yang Cheng also knew that although Thomas Link was a free transfer and saved the transfer fee, his salary would be increased, so accordingly, the team's operating pressure would be greater. But if the team could show off their strength in the European arena and earn more income in the European arena, then Thomas Link's salary would be nothing.
"Okay, I'll contact Schalke 04 later!" Melze nodded immediately to agree.
Yang Cheng also laughed and said, "Werner, I absolutely support you if you want to reform the team's management, but I hope you can be clear about it. This is not only for me, but also for future generations. That is, the authority of the head coach must be consolidated, and the investment in the youth training system must be persistent!"
With the continuous improvement of tactics, the role of the head coach has become increasingly greater and eventually become the core of the team. Although today's teams generally do not attach much importance to the head coach, Yang Cheng, as a later generation, is very clear about this change, so he proposed to consolidate the authority of the head coach.
As for youth training, the youth training system established by Yang Cheng for Kaiserslautern is operating well. With this prototype, as long as you persist in your investment in the future, the youth training camp in Kaiserslautern will not be bad.
Merce has talked with Yang Cheng many times, and he is from a football player, so he knows the importance of head coaching and youth training, so he immediately promises to pay attention to it.
"I don't need transfer fees this summer. As you said, all of them are invested in the construction of software and hardware facilities for the stadium and training. This is a long-term solution for the club. In the future, you can get a steady stream of income from it!" Yang Cheng said generously.
Merce looked at Yang Cheng gratefully, knowing that the latter was considering the club's fiscal revenue.
If Kaiserslautern is in the Bundesliga in the future, and the stadium income and sponsor income, the club can basically achieve healthy operation. This is definitely a great news for Kaiserslautern, who was still in financial disputes two years ago.
In Yang Cheng's view, Kaiserslautern does not have the support of a large consortium, and it is not a prosperous city. It is impossible to transform into a top-level giant. Even in the Bundesliga, it is difficult to compete with Bayern, the giant. At best, it is to become a powerful team like Dortmund and Leverkusen, to ensure European competitions in the future and occasionally taste the taste of a championship.
It is because of this that Yang Cheng decided to support the Mercenary reform.
To be honest, he has feelings for this team. He doesn't want to leave a mess and leave a lot of debts for this team after he leaves. In the end, he has to rely on selling the stars to pay off the debt. This is not what he wants to see.
On the other hand, if he supports Mercedes' reform and the club enters a healthy business, although he still cannot retain top stars, at least he can guarantee that he will not be affected by debt and bear his own profits and losses. He does not have to live a life of others' faces. As long as he does youth training well, this team can still become a powerful team in the Bundesliga in the future.
At least, it won't be downgraded again!
Yang Cheng remembered that it was because of debt in his previous life that head coaches such as Rehager and Bremer were powerless and were finally relegated in shame. He hoped to avoid all this.
If he can really do this, then countless people will remember that it was the fundamental change brought to the club during Yang Cheng's coaching period, which laid this solid foundation, which will definitely improve Yang Cheng's coaching reputation.
On the other hand, if he coached Kaiserslautern, only caring about his achievements and finances, he finally won the championship and changed jobs to another team, but Kaiserslautern was relegated in shame. Everyone would only feel that Yang Cheng had drained Kaiserslautern's last efforts and left an uncontrollable mess.
Chapter completed!
