Super Coach

After returning from Liverpool, Yang Cheng began to devote himself to the preparations for the final battle for the Bundesliga title, because after the Cup Winners Cup came to an end, Kaiserslautern ushered in the three decisive games where the championship finally belongs .

An away game against Mainz, a home game against Wolfsburg, and an away game against Hertha Berlin. The opponents in the three games are all direct opponents of Kaiserslautern's championship and promotion. In addition, the current points have been shortened to With a score of 7, the boat may capsize in the gutter at any time, and you should not be careless for a moment.

Fortunately, with the enlightenment of Van Nistelrooy, Kaiserslautern has Marshall and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the front line, plus Denilson, Deisler, Fritz and other wide stars, Kaiserslautern Slautern's offense can be said to be second to none in the Bundesliga.

On March 23, Kaiserslautern challenged Mainz in an away game. Yang Cheng rotated the team, and the defense replaced Bremer with Lucio, Kyle and Louis Huth, while the midfielder On the one hand, Yang Cheng used Deco to replace Veron, who has been fighting continuously recently, in the starting lineup.

Although the team's starting lineup has undergone a major change, the status and strength of the players should not be underestimated. Mainz sits at home, but played a defensive counterattack. Kaiserslautern turned away and played offensive football. In the 25th and 68th minutes, Marshall and Ballack laid the advantage for Kaiserslautern.

Defeated Mainz 2:0 away, Kaiserslautern won two consecutive league victories.

A week later, the team ushered in Wolfsburg at home. This time, Yang Cheng did not hold back and sent the main force to play. The main competitor was defeated by a clean 4:0. Wolfsburg won the game. In the game, the Red Devils completely flattened his spirits, and Marshall relied on his hat-trick in this game to further establish his throne as the top scorer in the Bundesliga.

With the power of three consecutive victories in the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern entered the April schedule.

On April 6, away to Hertha Berlin.

In order to prepare for the away game against Paris Saint-Germain on the 10th, Yang Cheng once again rotated the game, and ended up with a 1:1 tie with Hertha Berlin in the away game.

But on April 10, Yang Cheng led his team to Paris to challenge Paris Saint-Germain away.

Paris Saint-Germain, who sits at home, showed the power of the defending champion, and hoped to use their home advantage to overwhelm this underdog from the German second-tier league, especially Joel Butts Shouted the slogan to end the battle in the first round.

But in the game, Kaiserslautern, which has always been known for its 343 offensive football, suddenly changed to 451. The defense line from left to right is Bremer, Kesch, Kyle and Clemens Free Ci; Gattuso as the right midfielder,

Nedved, Veron and Ballack lined up in the midfield, Denilsen was more advanced and freer, and Marshall was at the front alone.

Yang Cheng's sudden change of formation caught Joel Bartz by surprise, because according to the information he collected before, Kaiserslautern's tactics have always been 343, but now they have changed to 451, a modified version of 442. , which is indeed somewhat surprising.

At the beginning of the game, when the roster was announced, the outside world was also shocked by Yang Cheng's tactics. After all, Kaiserslautern has not played this kind of tactics this season. Very little effect.

Amidst the voices of doubt, only Yang Cheng knew that in the super coaching assistant system, the running-in degree of the first formation 343 reached 74 points, while the running-in degree of 442 that he had arranged before and often practiced in training It also reached 63 points, so it is not a problem to use it in the game.

Besides, only the tactical formation has changed, but Kaiserslautern's bones are still instilled by Yang Cheng.

As the game progressed, everyone gradually realized that Kaiserslautern's tactics restrained Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup.

Originally, in this set of tactics, the midfielder Rai and Leonardo on the wing were the most threatening players, but now Yang Cheng is specifically targeting this point, focusing on attacking the wing, and using Denilson to contain Leonardo , Relying on Denilson's personal ability on the wing, coupled with the support of Bremer and Nedved behind him, Leonardo dare not take the initiative to attack.

In the middle, Gattuso, Veron and Ballack set up a tight camp. While freezing Lai, they cut off the connection between Paris Saint-Germain's midfield and the backcourt. Kaiserslautern deployed heavy troops in the middle.

Clemens Fritz on the right side cooperated with Gattuso to control the offense and defense on the right side, and even made sudden advances frequently, creating murderous intentions, which made Paris Saint-Germain's offense always look so worried.

Under this set of tactics, Paris Saint-Germain's offense has been unable to open up the situation for a long time. On the contrary, Kaiserslautern relied heavily on Denilson, who has been in normal form recently, on the wing. The middle road has brought great danger to Paris Saint-Germain, and his personal breakthrough is almost impossible to guard against.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Kaiserslautern counterattacked after stealing the ball. Veron found Denilson on the left with a long pass. Headed to score, 0:1!

This score was maintained until the end of the game. Kaiserslautern, relying on a bold change in targeted tactics, was unexpectedly upset in the away game and temporarily led Paris Saint-Germain 1:0. This result immediately excited the Red Devils fans, but Since Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 also won both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, Kaiserslautern's victory did not cause much commotion.

Back in Kaiserslautern, the team still defeated the visiting Leipzig 4:1 at home immediately after a rotation. Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy scored twice again, showing his excellent scoring state, especially his The self-confidence shown in the game gave Yang Cheng absolutely reason to be optimistic about his future.

Every striker must develop this self-confidence by constantly scoring goals. Only when they gain this self-confidence can they dare to hit the goal boldly in the game. Ruud van Nistelrooy is walking on such a road now. He's getting more and more confident, and his performances are going to get better and better.

But in the 26th round of the league, in the away game against Gütersloh, Yang Cheng rotated most of the team's main lineup in order to prepare for the European Cup Winners' Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain at home. The final away game was 1: 1 was forced to a draw by the conservative Gütersloh, Deco scored the winning goal, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's momentum of consecutive goals was temporarily ended.

However, it is gratifying that Kaiserslautern, who returned to the home court, returned to the familiar tactics of 343, and with two goals from Marshall and Veron, they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2:1 at home. He scored an equalizer for PSG in the first half, but Veron's direct free-kick put the score beyond once again at the start of the second half.

After the two rounds, Kaiserslautern eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 3:1 and entered the final of the European Cup Winners Cup.

In Florence, although Viola fought tenaciously in the first round of the game, relying on the God of War Batistuta's goal in the 65th minute, the away game drew 1:1 against the mighty Barcelona, ​​but Batistuta Received a red card at the last moment and had to miss the second round. As a result, Rui Costa lost 0:2 to Barcelona at home and left the European Cup Winners Cup sadly with a total score of 1:3.

In this way, the two teams in the European Cup Winners' Cup final of the season were all born, Kaiserslautern from the Bundesliga 2, against the super giants Barcelona from the Spanish First Division. The time is scheduled for May 14, The venue for the final was held at Feyenoord's De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

That is to say, from the second round of the semi-finals to the final, there is only 20 days in total. From the perspective of preparations, it is indeed too hasty, especially when facing Barcelona, ​​​​which is full of superstars.

…………

…………

Sitting on the sofa in my office, the TV in front of me is playing the Barcelona-Fiorentina game again and again.

Although many people in the outside world believe that Barcelona suffered a tragic draw with Fiorentina at home in the first round, which is very embarrassing, but in fact, anyone who has actually watched the game and understands the two-round knockout confrontation knows that Fiorentina seems to have an advantage in the first round. As cheap as it is, it actually paved the way for the second round.

Barcelona playing at home is undoubtedly strong. Ronaldo, Figo, Enrique, Guardiola, these are all the top stars in today's football, and the offensive combination formed by them is undoubtedly the most frightening in today's football.

If my memory is correct, Barcelona will score more than 100 goals in La Liga this season, like 102! Yang Cheng said to himself with a wry smile.

Think about it, after Real Madrid bought Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, Benzema and other superstars this season, Pellegrini's team scored 102 goals in La Liga , and the intensity of competition in La Liga at that time was far less than it is now.

It is conceivable how powerful this team's offense is.

Of course, although Barcelona's offense is strong this season, there are many loopholes in defense. At least Bobby Robson's team is 8 points behind Real Madrid because Capello knows better defense than Robson. .

However, in Spain, the fans agree more with Robson than with Capello's style of football.

When Kaiserslautern faces Barcelona, ​​defensive counterattack is a must. To fight against such a Barcelona team, it is definitely like lighting a lamp in the toilet and looking for death, but the key is how to defend and how to counterattack!

Just when Yang Cheng was having a headache, there was a knock on the office door.

You are indeed here! Paul Bayer and Tim Hank walked into the office one after the other.

They came to sit next to Yang Cheng, and what they saw was the Barcelona game video played repeatedly on TV, and a frowning Yang Cheng.

It's already past 7 o'clock, aren't you going to have something to eat? Tim asked with a concerned smile.

Oh, damn it! Yang Cheng patted himself on the forehead forcefully, I forgot the time just watching the video.

All three of them laughed immediately.

From the moment he heard about the Cup Winners' Cup final match against Barcelona, ​​Yang Cheng looked preoccupied.

It's easy to understand, because few people in the world will be optimistic about Kaiserslautern, unless it is a team that wants to bet on Kaiserslautern with a small fortune.

Although the vast majority of the media are now singing elegiac songs to us, it's not like no one praises us! Paul Bayer saw that Yang Cheng was in a bad mood, so he deliberately changed the subject.

Oh? Praise? Yang Cheng thought the word was very interesting.

At least we have once again defended the tradition of the Winners' Cup and rejected Paris Saint-Germain's defense!

Yang Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, but soon burst out laughing, somewhat diluting some of the pressure brought by Barcelona's strength, but the giant Barcelona is always a lingering shadow in Yang Cheng's mind.

In the history of the Cup Winners Cup, there have been 6 times last season's champions reached the finals of this season, intending to defend their title, but no team has ever successfully defended their title, and Paris Saint-Germain this season is no exception .

In fact, Yang Cheng knew that even without the appearance of Kaiserslautern, Paris Saint-Germain would not be able to win against Barcelona, ​​because this is almost one of the most powerful teams in today's football, needless to say , Just think about it, Ronaldo, Figo, and Guardiola gathered in one team, what a grand scene it was.

Tinker Ranieri's Fiorentina has a poor record this season, but it is still one of the strongest teams in Serie A. The cooperation between Batistuta and Rui Costa is perfect, but they But still lost to Barcelona, ​​it cannot be said that it was just because of Batistuta's red card!

You know, in the second round of the game, Ronaldo took the lead in scoring a goal at the beginning, but he was whistled as invalid. Otherwise, the result of this game should be a 3-0 victory, although Florence's defeat came from Ranieri's conservative style, but the strength of Barcelona is beyond doubt.

Another point is the league schedule and the influence from Real Madrid.

The first round of the game happened to be between the 32nd and 33rd rounds of La Liga. In the 32nd round, Real Madrid unexpectedly suffered a draw at home. In the game against Fiorentina in the middle of the week, Barcelona seemed a little distracted, and their minds were all on the away game against Atletico Madrid on the weekend.

As a result, the first round was tied, but Barcelona narrowed the gap between themselves and Real Madrid from the original 9 points to 7 points. The Barcelona people saw the hope of turning defeat into victory.

But in the next two rounds of the league, Barcelona unexpectedly lost away to Valladolid, and Real Madrid suffered an away draw with Valencia. The points gap between the two teams expanded to 8 points, leaving 7 points in the league In the case of rounds, this gap is irreparable.

Coupled with the two-week suspension of La Liga at this time, Barcelona began to devote all its energy to the Cup Winners' Cup, so there was a second round victory over Viola.

I watched the La Liga schedule. On May 11, in the 37th round of La Liga, Barcelona will host Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. The current point gap between the two teams is 8 points. As long as in the 36th round, the two teams If it doesn’t continue to widen the score gap, Barcelona will definitely do their best in this game!”

Paul Bayer pointed to a La Liga schedule in front of him, and introduced the upcoming La Liga situation to Yang Cheng.

With 3 points in a game, as long as they win Real Madrid at home, the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be reduced to 5 points, and there are 6 rounds left in the league, everything is possible!

When Yang Cheng thought of this, he couldn't help agreeing with Paul Bayer's analysis.

In the 38th round, on May 17th, Barcelona challenged Celta in an away game. As long as the situation in the 37th round is slightly tilted towards Barcelona, ​​Bobby Robson will have no reason to give up this game. The final of the Cup Winners Cup will definitely be affected! Paul Baier continued to analyze.

But with the momentum of Real Madrid this season, it is unlikely that Barcelona will overtake. Will they really affect this almost sure final because of the unknown situation? Tim Hank thinks Bobby? That's unlikely to be the case for Robson.

But Yang Cheng suddenly laughed, and said with certainty: Yes, I will!

Others may not know the entanglement between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Yang Cheng knows it clearly. Although the hatred between the two teams has not been completely intensified, the importance of the Century Derby is self-evident. Coupled with the impact of league points, Bobby Robson will definitely give his all in the home game against Real Madrid.

This is the opportunity in Kaiserslautern!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of being so overwhelmed just now was relieved a lot.

When the head coach is indeed inhuman abuse, especially in terms of the head coach's resistance to pressure and blows, if Yang Cheng is just a fan, he will feel that if Kaiserslautern plays Barcelona, ​​​​if they lose, although they will be injured, although they will suffer It's uncomfortable, but his life still has to go on, and his life still has to go on as usual.

But being the head coach is not enough, because this game is related to the hard work and hard work of every player in the team for a season. They pin all their hopes on Yang Cheng. A decision of Yang Cheng may be overturned at any time. their efforts all season.

It was only at this time that Yang Cheng was able to understand why so many players often left the team that had treated him favorably. The reason was simply because they could not win the championship. If you have not experienced it yourself, it is impossible to understand the frustration. of.

Now Yang Cheng wants to try his best to prevent this kind of frustration from coming to his team!

At the same time, he has to start thinking about starting from now, to work out a set of training and game plans for the team in the next 20 days until the final match against Barcelona. He even decided to use the achievement points in the super coach assistant system , Make every effort to adjust the state and morale of the players so that they can reach their peak state when they play against Barcelona.

Only in this way can Kaiserslautern have the strength to fight Barcelona!
