Super Coach

The team's assembly time is scheduled for February 5, which is the first game after the winter break, two weeks before the German Cup semi-final against Hamburg at home.

Germany's winter break is longer than other leagues, and players can get close to 2 months of rest, so the first thing Yang Cheng did after the team regrouped was to test the players' physical condition and conduct Evaluate.

Some people with stronger self-control ability, such as Bremer, Lutz and others, not only did not gain weight during the winter break, but continued to train every day; but there are also some people with slightly weaker self-control ability, who gained weight during the winter break Quite a lot.

It can be seen that you have had a good time for more than a month! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

The team was regrouped, and before the winter break, Kaiserslautern was in full swing, and the internal atmosphere of the team was quite good, so Yang Cheng's joke got immediate response from the players.

But Yang Cheng changed his tone, We did perform well in the first half, but that was far from enough. We still have three championships to contend for, the German Bundesliga, German Cup, and Cup Winners' Cup, so we must not relax!

The players agreed with the head coach's remarks and couldn't help nodding.

I believe that after the first half of the practice, you should all clearly see that our team is the team with the fewest injuries and casualties in the first half of the Bundesliga. We are still the best German team after November and December. Team B, we are the league champions in the first half, which shows that our pre-season training is effective!

As soon as the players heard this, they suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, and then dark clouds covered the top, because they all found out tragically that the happy days were finally going to leave them.

I don't care how comfortable you are during the winter break, or how much weight you put on during the winter break, in a word, after two weeks, I want to see you back to your best, understand? Yang Cheng asked.

Understood, boss! the players replied in unison.

Yang Cheng frightened these boys for a while, then laughed again, and said relaxedly: Let me reveal a good news to you in advance, because of the excellent performance of our club in the first half, we signed several new sponsorships during the winter break. Contracts, club revenues have increased, and therefore, bonuses for each of you have also increased.

When the players heard this, they were all overjoyed.

How much improved, boss! Everyone else was secretly guessing, but Gattuso asked directly.

Yang Cheng didn't care at all, Preliminary estimates, if the team wins the championship this season and is promoted, each of you can increase the bonus by 30% on the original basis, and players who perform well will have additional rewards!

Wow! The players suddenly became excited.

These professional players, they work hard to play football, isn't it just to make money?

In addition, the current club's business situation has improved a bit. I have discussed with the board of directors. After the end of this season, we will fully re-examine your overall performance, and then negotiate with you to finalize the contract increase for the next season. Therefore, Guys, want to get more salary, want to get more bonus, use the performance in the game to speak!

The players were very excited when they heard it. It was a great thing for them to be able to raise their salaries.

However, among this group of excited people, there are still a few one or two who seem a bit lonely.

…………

…………

After resuming three training sessions a day, the first training session in the morning was over. The players were already exhausted, and some of them didn't even want to move at all, just lying on the slightly cold grass.

Yang Cheng passed Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, and patted the Dutch center with encouragement,

Although Van Nistelrooy's performance in the first half was mediocre and he hadn't even scored a goal for the team, his physical fitness has been continuously improving, and his physical strength has also increased with his weight.

This is a gratifying change. In addition, Yang Cheng asked Paul Bayer to continuously collect some videos and highlights of famous shooters for him to watch. Yang Cheng believed that Ruud van Nistelrooy's rise would be a matter of time.

Coming to Bremer's side, Yang Cheng greeted Kyle who walked away behind him, and sat down directly.

The captain of Kaiserslautern looked a little depressed, which is probably related to the recent news from the club.

Although the club's financial situation has improved a lot, the board of directors headed by Frederick and others still decided to increase income and reduce expenditure for the team. contracts will be affected accordingly.

Now, Yang Cheng has almost become a key figure in this turmoil.

Yang Cheng is very opposed to this kind of move that is almost like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Besides, the league is just over halfway. Looking at the financial statements, he couldn't listen to Yang Cheng's persuasion.

No way, although Yang Cheng has obtained a lot of power, he can only provide reference opinions on issues such as contract renewal and salary reduction of some players, but cannot obtain full power.

Boss, do you think we can land in the Bundesliga this season? Bremer asked suddenly.

Yang Cheng picked up a piece of grass casually, held it in his hand, and nodded, Of course!

Bremmer also nodded, That's fine!

After a pause, the legendary star of Kaiserslautern was a bit sad and melancholy, Everyone will grow old, looking at the young but extraordinary teammates, I often Tell myself that it's time to step down, but I'm not reconciled, especially when the team is relegated to the second division.

But this time... Bremmer looked at Yang Cheng solemnly, Boss, I have confidence in you this time. If you say you can upgrade, then you will definitely be able to. As long as you return to the Bundesliga, then I have no regrets. gone.

Yang Cheng was anxious when he heard this, No way!

Bremer was taken aback, Why not?

What I mean is, Andres, you can't think of retiring! Yang Cheng stayed behind.

Bremer smiled bitterly, I will be 37 years old after this season, and I should have retired long ago!

Seeing that he really wanted to retire, Yang Cheng was also very depressed, because in his plan, he really needed Bremer to preside over the overall situation, not only because he was the captain of the team, but also because he was in the team. The team's influence, prestige, and his appeal in German football.

A player's value is not only reflected on the pitch, but also in the dressing room, on the training ground, in his private life, Andres, as I always told you before, you are the team's Captain, you are the role model for the players, even if you can’t play, you are still the captain, and you should be a role model for each of them!”

Yang Cheng spoke a little excitedly, fearing that Bremer would not be able to accept it, so he eased the atmosphere before continuing.

You have also seen the current situation of the team. The locker room needs a highly respected player like you to lead this young team. Our goal is not just to reach the top, not just to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga. Our goal The goal should be bigger and farther, and even, as long as we work well, we can rush to Europe!
