Super Coach

On the evening of September 23, Kaiserslautern's Fritz Walter Stadium was in the first round of the knockout round of the DFB-Pokal.

Today's German Cup draw rules are roughly the same as in 2011, and the strong and weak are divided into AB groups for the draw. However, since the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga have a total of 36 teams, 4 teams are randomly selected to go to Group B. The teams from the third division draw lots together and play against the professional teams in Group A.

Kaiserslautern was unlucky enough to be one of the random teams, and their unlucky one was Bielefeld, who had a lot of grievances with Yang Cheng last season.

Bielefeld led by Ernst Middendorp performed well in the Bundesliga this season. Among them, they beat Werder Bremen 3:1 and Stuttgart 2:0. For the Bundesliga marshal.

But it seems that this not-so-big-hearted German still has grudges about last season, especially for Yang Cheng who robbed him of the best coach of the year, so when he learned of his The team was very excited when they met Kaiserslautern coached by Yang Cheng in the German Cup.

Before the game, he frequently blasted the media, saying that Bielefeld has a certain chance of winning this game.

Yang Cheng also attached great importance to this game, and made a meticulous game plan before the game. However, in the game, Kaiserslautern, who played at home, was tenacious and took the initiative to attack, but Bielefeld was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The score was 0:0 in the first half. After the opening of the second half, Kaiserslautern continued to take the initiative, and Bielefeld was still defending and counterattacking. The two sides looked on par.

It seems that the short three-month trip to the Bundesliga has transformed the overall strength of this team! Paul Bayer sighed.

Both Yang Cheng and him agreed that the current strength of Kaiserslautern is stable enough to overwhelm Bielefeld, but this team has experienced in the Bundesliga for a period of time, and its overall strength has been greatly tempered. They have adapted to the intensity of the Bundesliga. When facing Kaiserslautern, although they were passive on the scene, they did not panic at all.

In contrast to Kaiserslautern, the two side lanes have been unable to open the situation for a long time, and they can only attack the middle lane by force, and return without success again and again.

With a cold face, Yang Cheng's attention was focused on the game, but when he felt a not-so-friendly look projected from his side, he looked over and it happened to be Ernst M. Dendorp.

I heard that this bastard practiced penalty kicks before the game! Paul Bayer reminded.

In other words, if the game goes to a penalty shootout, it will be very unfavorable to Kaiserslautern's situation.

This game will never be dragged to a penalty shootout! Yang Cheng replied with a sneer.

Turning around, he waved to Denilson behind him, signaling him to warm up.

The Brazilian immediately took off his long-sleeved training clothes and ran aside to warm up.

This is the first time he has appeared on the bench in an official game this season. No one knows the reason, but he seems to have admitted his mistake to Yang Cheng, and the latter also happens to be short of a side assaulter, so it is logical for him into the competition squad.

Not long after, Denilson came to Yang Cheng's side.

On the left, there is space behind the opponent's left back. I will ask Nedved to support you more. You kill him one-on-one and pass the ball!

Denilson nodded heavily in agreement!

Three minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Denilson stepped onto the pitch. He replaced Deco, who played the role of midfield organizer with Veron in this game, and Kaiserslautern players also With Yang Cheng's instruction, attack left!

In less than a minute, Denilson received a pass from Veron on the left, turned around and faced Bielefeld's right back one-on-one. The latter saw that Denilson was a little thin,

Tieshanglai the first time.

But just when he thought he was sure of a close press, Denilson seemed to have an extra pair of feet under his feet. He leaned his body, and the ball just stuck to his feet and slipped past the defender. .

A beautiful pass!

The commentators and fans at the scene suddenly became excited.

De Nilson didn't encounter too much resistance, took the ball straight to the penalty area...

When Yang Cheng saw Denilson's dribble from the sidelines, he also praised him in his heart. This kid's dribble moves like flowing clouds and flowing water, very smooth and natural. It is really difficult to stop him unless he directly trips and fouls.

It's time to pass the ball! Yang Cheng saw that Marshall on the right and Ballack in the back row had both come into space. At this time, as long as Denilson made a cross pass, the two would face each other directly no matter who received the ball. goal.

Pass the ball! Yang Cheng saw that Denilson was still dribbling the ball with his head down, entering the penalty area, and shouted from the sidelines, Bastard, don't you know how to pass the ball?

Then he heard the referee's whistle, and Denilson rolled on the ground a few times before sitting up.

Penalty kick! The opponent's central defender fouled while defending Denilson, and the referee awarded a penalty kick!

The fans at the scene were all excited, especially the Kaiserslautern fans, who stood up from their seats one by one, roaring ferociously.

As the number one penalty shooter in the team, Ballack took the ball to the penalty spot, without any hesitation, calmly scored the ball, 1:0!

This score was maintained until the end of the game!

But after winning the first knockout round of the German Cup, Yang Cheng was furious in the locker room!

Do you not know how to pass the ball? Or do you think you can kill the opponent's entire defense by yourself, then pass the goalkeeper and score an empty goal? Yang Cheng asked in a growling tone.

Denilson's face was a bit ugly, because he felt that his performance was good enough. Although he didn't pass the ball, he created a penalty kick for the team.

For the ball just now, if you choose to cross, both Michael and Olaf will have a chance, almost sure, but you choose to be reckless, do you remember what I told you? Pass the ball when you find the opportunity!

Everyone in the locker room didn't dare to speak. Everyone looked at Yang Cheng, who had become a little hideous because of anger. They really rarely saw the head coach get so angry!

You will sit on the bench for me in the next game!

After speaking, Yang Cheng turned around and left the locker room. He was going to teach Ernst Middendorp a good lesson.

On the evening of September 27, the VFL stadium in Wolfsburg was brightly lit

The newly remodeled and expanded VFL stadium ushered in Kaiserslautern. Although the head coach Willie Lehman was a forward as a player, as the head coach, he was known for his defensive counterattacks. Sitting at home, but still put on a tenacious defensive counterattack tactics to meet Kaiserslautern.

Wolfsburg is determined to be promoted this season, so Lehman is determined to win this game against direct competitors!

The scene also seemed to confirm Lehman's prediction. Although the midfield iron triangle headed by Veron, Ballack, and Nedved helped Kaiserslautern firmly control the game, Wall, who shrank the defense, Forsborg was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even forced Kyle, who replaced Lutz, to make another mistake during a key counterattack in the first half.

This time, what he brought to Kaiserslautern was a goal that was almost wiped out!

1:0!

Although Kaiserslautern launched an almost crazy counterattack afterwards, Wolfsburg steadily shrunk their defense.

The time on the brand new scoreboard that had just been put into use jumped to 70 minutes, and the score was still 1:0.
