48 The head coach is not easy to be! (Part 2)
48 It’s hard to be a head coach! (Part 2)
Nedved raised his hands high, but immediately he was thrown to the ground by Barack who was flying up.
The players rushed up one by one, and they pulled Barack and Nedved who were lying on the ground, and hugged each other tightly excitedly.
After experiencing the first 75 minutes, you sacrificed for me and I blocked the gun hole for you, the players have now closely linked themselves with their teammates and turned into an inseparable whole.
Nedved's nose was sore, especially when he saw that the scoreboard and Kaiserslautern's score box changed from 0 to 1, he really had the urge to cry. Then he saw Yang Cheng on the sidelines, who applauded him and gave him a thumbs up.
At this moment, Nedved suddenly felt an impulse, and his position was approaching Yang Cheng, rushed over and hugged his head coach tightly.
This scene happened to be captured by the live TV camera. At the same time, many nearby Kaiserslautern players rushed forward, Barack, Veron, Fritz... In the end, Bremer and others rushed forward, but they were not as excited as Barack and others, they were just standing on the periphery.
"Guys, calm down, damn it, calm down!" Yang Cheng realized that he was about to be overwhelmed by the touch and excitement, and tried every means to stabilize his emotions.
"I'll tell you!" He spoke only when the players were looking at him, but there was still a crystal clearness in his eyes. "The game is not over yet, do you understand? The game is not over yet!"
His voice was trembling, and he was obviously extremely excited at this moment.
"We can't be careless. The opponent is Dortmund, but this goal gives us more capital, so we have to keep this score well next. Do you still remember what I said to you?"
"Remember!" Barack and others answered in unison.
"I am for everyone, everyone for me! The sacrifices and efforts you make for your teammates at this moment, and the next moment, your teammates will also make the same sacrifices and efforts for you, and even more!"
"We are a whole, we are inseparable!" Yang Cheng patted Nedved and Barack on the shoulders.
"Go up and take advantage of this momentum, we not only have to defend this point, but also take advantage of the momentum to win another game!"
"Okay!" The players roared in unison.
Although Yang Cheng thought beautifully, he did think that the score of 1:0 was not safe enough, but there was no way. The opponent was Dortmund, and his direct opponent in this game was Heathfield.
After the team was scored, Heathfield immediately realized that he had made a very subtle mistake, but was keenly captured by Yang Cheng, so he immediately made a substitution adjustment and replaced two people in one breath.
One is Heinrich, who has no physical fitness, and the other is Lambert, who has average performance. The two players who have replaced the court are Kerry, and the other is the forward Heinrich who has strengthened the offense.
Two substitution adjustments were made in one breath. Although Dortmund had a little chaotic scene, it also created several dangerous situations, which made Yang Cheng on the sidelines feel a little scared.
Seeing the system reminding Yang Cheng that Perron's physical fitness was no longer good, Yang Cheng knew that he could not bet anymore, so he immediately performed well in the youth team. Local defensive player Thomas, Riddle replaced Perron, allowing the team to retract the defense from three lines.
Five minutes later, Yang Cheng used up his last substitution quota, and he replaced Marshall with Fanny, who had joined the team this season.
Both teams made substitutions and adjusted several times, and they created several dangerous situations. Dortmund had another threatening shot that was rejected by the post, and Kaiserslautern also got a chance in the penalty area, but Van Nie was hesitant after stopping the ball, as if he was considering the angle and was intercepted by Coral in advance.
Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable when he saw Fanny miss the opportunity on the sidelines.
Although Fanny is famous a few years later and is known as the king of the small penalty area, he is actually really bad now. Even if he is based on his strength on the front line, he is far inferior to Marshall, Pavel and Kuka, because he has not yet been able to transition from a midfield to a forward.
It was like the chance that just now, his stop was excellent and he did stop the ball in a good position, but then he was slowing down by half a beat and pausing, which directly led to Coral's successful interception.
If he could be more straightforward and shoot at that time, maybe he would have the ball. The score would be 2:0, and Dortmund would be completely desperate.
Of course, Yang Cheng could also see that Fanny does have the qualities to become a good striker, such as his stopping and basic skills, as well as his prediction of the ball path and sense of position. It is estimated that this is related to his previous roles in scavengers, central defenders and midfielders, so he performed well in these aspects.
Stop the ball can be said to be one of the essential things for a forward, because only with an excellent stop can you stop the ball according to your own wishes and then calmly continue the next move.
However, Fanny's shortcomings are that he still lacks the feeling of a striker.
It's not a sense of smell, because he does have enough sense of smell. Otherwise, the opportunity just now wouldn't have appeared, but he didn't feel like he was a forward.
Yang Cheng really wants to help him build his sense of a current striker because he firmly believes that as long as Fanny is rising, he will be the unquestioned chief striker of Kaiserslautern and the most trusted scorer, but he doesn't know how to help Fanny.
Moreover, Fanny's body was a little thin. He just squeezed it away and lost his position. His ability to fight was really much worse than that of Coral, and he was not as good as Marshall, Pavel and Kuka in the team.
In short, young people have potential, but they are quite immature and have many shortcomings, and they need to be crafted and improved!
The club is full of trouble now, including the integration of new players such as Perron, Denilson's discomfort, and Desler's withdrawn and unsociable problems. As long as Yang Cheng thinks about it, he thinks that this head coach is really not that easy to be!
Everyone has their own opportunities, but there is no doubt that after being scored one goal, Dortmund's momentum has indeed become much weaker, which directly leads to the players being a little anxious and passive on the court.
In addition, Yang Cheng replaced Riddle to strengthen his defense. This young player in youth training has good abilities and is very fierce in defense. Although he is not tall, he is very cruel as a strong player. Yang Cheng took this spot, so he brought him into the roster. I heard that he was a young player promoted by Clauchen last season.
Although Clauchen is an average person as a head coach, he is still very good at promoting and crafting young players.
With two strong players in the midfield, Riddle and Gattuso, and Barack and Nedved, Kaiserslautern's defense immediately became stable. Although Dortmund organized a lot of offensives, the first thing he had lost his spirit, and secondly, Kaiserslautern defended and counterattacked steadily, and Dortmund failed to equalize the score in the end.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the entire Carl and Mercedes-Benz Stadium suddenly became boiling.
Two hours ago, all the fans came to this stadium with a wait-and-see feeling, hoping to see Dortmund massacre his opponents, but unexpectedly, two hours later, the team that was finally massacred was Dortmund.
The situation on the football field is indeed changing rapidly, but Kaiserslautern's performance in this game is absolutely amazing, especially the debut of head coach Yang Cheng, which is almost impeccable.
Facing the powerful Dortmund, facing the experience, qualifications and abilities far better than Heathfield, Yang Cheng not only did not fear, but also organized an effective defensive system and formulated targeted strategies and tactics, especially the counterattack in the second half, which further reflected Yang Cheng's determination to win the game.
Without specific drills before the game, can the players play so smoothly in the game?
Although he lost the game, Heathfield still walked over with a graceful look, looking at Yang Cheng with a smile along the way, and then politely embraced the young Chinese head coach.
"You did a good job, you should indeed win this game!" Although Heathfield was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit this.
From this game, he not only saw the team's shortcomings, but also saw his shortcomings in some aspects.
"Thank you!" Yang Cheng was modest, but he was unceremonious to accept Heathfield's praise.
Seeing his neither humble nor arrogant look, Heathfield's eyes were filled with praise, "I believe that the Red Devils should be able to see the next season's Bundesliga. By then, I will definitely not lose again!"
Yang Cheng also laughed. He won the first trophy in his coaching career. He was absolutely excited, but he was not outdone in the face of Heathfield's challenge. "So too! The next time we meet Dortmund, we still have to fight for victory!"
Heathfield looked at the young head coach. He was so young, even younger than many of his players, but he seemed to have an unsightly trait, that is his face of confidence.
"In addition to your performance on the court that is impressive, your operation in the transfer market is also amazing. You have a group of outstanding players. I am looking forward to meeting you next time, don't let me down!"
After provoking Yang Cheng with encouragement, Heathfield smiled and turned around and left.
