Super Coach

The time has entered October, the 9th round of the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern welcomes Winterhaching at home.

Yang Cheng still kept the main force against Red Star Belgrade in the starting lineup, but replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy with Marshall in the starting lineup, and the Dutchman sat on the bench, because Marshall's condition was obviously better than the Dutchman's.

As a result, Marshall did not live up to Yang Cheng's high expectations. In this strong dialogue, he scored twice and helped Kaiserslautern beat Winterhaching 3-0 at home, continuing to secure the top spot in the league.

Wolfsburg, which is also aiming to be promoted, suffered a 0-0 away draw in Zwickau, while Hertha Berlin beat Chemnitz 4-1 in an away game, reversed Wolfsburg and climbed to the top. Second place in the league.

However, the 9th round of the Bundesliga Bundesliga did not attract the most media attention, but Oldenburg's home game against Leipzig. The result of the game was 4:1. Oldenburg defeated the opponent at home.

The score is normal, what is abnormal is the process of the game.

Leipzig's players were injured one after another throughout the game. After the Leipzig coach used up the 3 substitutions in his hand, he had to start from the 78th minute and accept that another player was injured after exhausting the substitution. This led to a situation where the team had one less player on the field to fight.

Also starting from the 80th minute, Oldenburg scored two goals in a row, rewriting the score from the original 2:1 to 4:1!

This season has been hailed as a team that is definitely relegated, but now with this victory, it has temporarily escaped from the relegation quagmire. After the game, facing the blood and tears of the Leipzig coach, Oldenburg officially Refusing to admit that one of his players has stalked during the game.

After the 9th round, the results of the draw for the round of 16 knockout rounds of the European Cup Winners' Cup were also released.

Bran team? Yang Cheng heard this strange team for the first time.

Seeing Yang Cheng's expression, Paul Bayer couldn't help feeling amused, nodded and said, Yes, a team from the Norwegian Super League, founded in 1908, and its location is Bergen, the second largest city in Norway.

Yang Cheng glared at Paul Bayer who was making fun of him with some reproach, looked at the stack of materials about the Bran team in his hand, and secretly admired in his heart, having assistants is such a benefit, but just after the lottery came out, he I have already prepared all the information and clues, and I don't need to waste time collecting them.

It seems that the strength of this Bran team is not bad, ranking in the middle of the Norwegian league! Yang Cheng muttered to himself.

Unexpectedly, Paul Bayer burst out laughing after hearing this, which made Tim, Moniz and others in the office wonder if this guy was sick today.

Brother, don't look at the ranking of the Bran team between 8-12, do you know? There are only 14 teams in the Norwegian league, and the last two teams are relegated to the Norwegian First Division, so the Bran team is in Norway. Their strength is considered worse, and their best ranking in history was last season, fourth in the league.

When Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately became embarrassed, and looked around, all the assistants wanted to laugh but were embarrassed to laugh, and immediately laughed and scolded: You bastards, if you don't read this stack of materials, you Who knows all this?

Everyone couldn't help laughing at this moment.

But what Yang Cheng said is also true. The Bran team is indeed too unpopular. If Paul Bayer hadn't collected information about this team, not many people would pay attention to this team.

The second round of the Cup Winners Cup will be held on October 17th and 31st, but there are only 3 rounds left in the Norwegian Super League so far. I hope to go to see the Bran team's game in person. , so that you can be more clear about your opponent's information! After the joke, Paul Baier seriously suggested.

Yang Cheng also agrees with this very much.

The schedule of the Norwegian Super League is different from that of other countries. They are not multi-year competitions, but from April to October, avoiding the entire cold winter, so October is when other leagues are in full swing. It is the final stage of the Norwegian League.

The Bran team has performed well this season and is currently competing with Stormgast and Molde for the qualifications for the European competition. It has already fallen into the hands of Rosenborg in advance, which is also the 6 consecutive championships of this Norwegian team.

The difference in the schedule has an advantage for Kaiserslautern, that is, the players of the Bran team are not as good as Kaiserslautern, but it also has a disadvantage. The root is more rainy all year round.

Yang Cheng once heard a joke in his previous life. A tourist asked a local boy when the rain would stop. The boy replied, I don't know, I'm only 12 years old!

It is conceivable how troublesome it is for the city to fall to the ground!

But Yang Cheng still felt that he was lucky, at least he had drawn a weaker opponent in the knockout round of 16.

Barcelona, ​​Eindhoven, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Benfica, Fiorentina, Galatasaray, Sparta Prague... These are all top European teams, Kaiserslau Teng was lucky to be able to avoid these teams.

Of course, if the Bran team can be successfully eliminated and enter the top 8 knockout rounds, then Kaiserslautern will not have such good luck, and it is bound to usher in tough battles.

The day after the European Cup Winners' Cup schedule was freshly released, the draw for the German Cup was also fully announced.

But this time Kaiserslautern's luck was a bit unlucky, they actually won the Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich.

When Yang Cheng heard the news, he was in Sparta.

But no matter what, the game still has to go on.

In the 10th round of the league, Kaiserslautern challenged Essen away. With Ballack and Marshall scoring twice, Kaiserslautern defeated Essen 4:1 away.

In the 11th round of the league, as a guest in Cologne, he encountered a tenacious attack from the SC Cologne team, especially the opponent's almost desperate defense. Kaiserslautern was unable to start the game until the 73rd minute of the second half, when Yang Cheng replaced Pavel · Kuka, the Croatian striker scored the winning goal.

After beating SC Cologne, Kaiserslautern travels to Norway to take on Bran.

Since Yang Cheng had already made enough preparations before the game, especially to adapt the team to the rainy game in advance, in the away game, despite the resistance of the home team, in the end, relying on Gattuso's outstanding performance, he insisted on winning from the away game. 0:0 get out of the way.

Three days later, Kaiserslautern once again rushed away to challenge Mannheim.

The depression encountered by the Bran team, this time Kaiserslautern vented on Mannheim, Marshall staged a hat-trick, Denilson scored twice, Kaiserslautern won the opponent 5-0 away, But Fritz also missed the game due to injury, and the final diagnosis will be out for at least a month.

Back in Kaiserslautern, the team ushered in Zwickau.

Wagner, who replaced Fritz, got the chance to start and performed quite well. Nedved made a pass and two shots to help Kaiserslautern beat the visiting Zwickau 3-0 at home.

Two days later, the team ushered in the second round of the second round of the Cup Winners Cup. With the outstanding performance of Ballack and Denilson, the team defeated the Bran team 2:0 at home and successfully advanced with a total score of 2:0. Top 8.

And Kaiserslautern's opponent in the quarter-finals was also quickly drawn, the Red Army Liverpool from England. The match will be held in March next year, so Yang Cheng still has plenty of time to prepare well.
