Super Coach

March 16, Fritz Walther Stadium

In the stands of the Fritz Walter Stadium, a sea of ​​red, appeared an Englishman in a suit and leather shoes.

He is the Red Devils Manchester United, and he is Ferguson's new assistant, Steve McClaren.

Kidd switched to Blackburn, and Ferguson recruited Steve McLaren as his assistant. So far, the most important task is to track Kaiserslautern.

In the four games against Bayern, he sat in the stands and watched the whole game.

Today is the last game of Kaiserslautern's four-game match against Bayern. The score on the field is 2:0. According to international practice, the home team is behind the former visiting team, but Bayern Munich is currently taking the initiative on the field. After losing two goals in a row, he was preparing to counterattack vigorously.

It's really time to fire! McLaren showed a complicated smile.

Kaiserslautern played a total of 4 games against Bayern. The scores so far are 0:1, 1:0, 2:0, 2:0. Bayern, known as the Bundesliga class bully, failed to break Kaisers Lautern's line of defense.

This is a complete defeat, a complete shame!

Even Hitzfeld, who has always been calm and wise, lost his usual composure and reason, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted at the players, telling them to continue to strengthen their offense and continue to put pressure on Kaiserslautern's defense.

In this game, he took the initiative to attack, but with little effect. Kaiserslautern resolutely played a defensive counterattack. The cooperation between Salihamidzic on the left and Denilsen on the front line was a highlight. effect is particularly evident.

Although the former did not score a goal, he had an assist. The latter passed and shot and was the best player in the game. However, Veron's long pass and scheduling in the midfield should not be underestimated.

Nedved took a break, but Ballack and Gattuso performed steadily in the midfield and did not give Bayern too many opportunities.

This is a tough team!

McLaren sighed, he didn't even know, if it was Manchester United, would it become like Bayern Munich?

The time jumped steadily into the minute, McLaren shook his head, stood up from his seat, and left the stands.

There is no need to continue watching the game, Kaiserslautern won! This text was provided by Qihang Update Team

He absolutely does not believe it,

Bayern Munich was able to score 3 goals in a row in the last minute.

But not long after he walked out of the field, Bayern Munich really scored. It was Effenberg's powerful shot into the penalty area that broke the goal guarded by Reinke and brought the score back to 2:1.

This goal also seemed to give Bayern Munich the hope of a reversal, but Yang Cheng quickly made adjustments and strengthened the team's defense through substitutions.

At this moment, Bayern is crazy. Whoever plays against the madman is a fool!

Of course McLaren didn't know that Bayern scored a goal. After he walked out of the stadium, he went to a relatively secluded place and directly dialed the number of Manchester United coach Ferguson who was preparing for the second round of the Champions League in Milan.

What's the matter? Ferguson on the phone asked with concern.

McLaren sighed, Bayern lost, 4 consecutive losses!

Oh? Ferguson was a little surprised, even surprised. He thought that Bayern would lose, but he never thought that they would lose so badly. 4 consecutive losses. Doesn't that prove that Kaiserslautern is stronger in terms of strength? Better than Bayern?

Is this possible?

Tell me about the situation! Ferguson remained calm.

In this game, Kaiserslautern played a defensive counterattack at home! McLaren said.

Immediately, Ferguson's mind flashed the figure of the young Chinese coach he admired. He agreed with Yang Cheng's strategy, and the defensive counterattack could indeed bring Kaiserslautern's initiative to the best effect.

Bayern's attack is strong, but Kaiserslautern's defense is solid, they press from the front, but it is worth noting his use of the Argentine Veron.

oh?

He drew the Argentine back very deep, almost level with the defense, and Kaiserslautern's counterattacks all relied on Veron's long pass, and both goals were due to his planning and long pass, Very accurate, I even feel that it is no less than David!

After hearing McLaren's words, Ferguson stopped talking and fell silent.

David is naturally David Beckham, who is definitely the player Ferguson relies on the most among the four players in Manchester United's midfield.

For a long time, in order to take care of Keane's core position, Ferguson had to weaken Beckham's role and arrange him on the right, but this does not mean that he did not understand that a player who can maximize the accuracy of long passes in the middle effect.

In the two rounds of the group stage, Kaiserslautern's tactics were indeed very different from today's tactics. Ferguson also had to admit that it was indeed a great move by Yang Cheng to withdraw Veron's position.

Retreat, break away from the opponent's midfield defense area, gain a wider space, and at the same time be able to play Veron's long pass.

This immediately made Ferguson a little envious of Yang Cheng, but Manchester United couldn't replicate this tactic because they had Keane.

Yang Cheng can arrange the midfield attack and organization around Veron, but Ferguson cannot sacrifice Keane.

The Manchester United captain is also the one who needs to get the ball, and weakening his possession of the ball is tantamount to weakening his role.

Keep talking! After a short silence, Ferguson spoke again.

The defense is the weakest link in Kaiserslautern's lineup. Thomas Link and Kosch are not the kind of top players. Kyle, Lucio, Louis Huth and Kivu all have potential , but the strength is not enough to be top-notch, but Kaiserslautern's defense is well-organized, and they cooperate with each other skillfully and tacitly. Coupled with the pressing tactics of the midfielder and frontcourt, the pressure on their defense will become very small. It’s easier to deal with it.”

After Ferguson listened there, he couldn't help nodding. He could even imagine that Kaiserslautern's highly integrated tactics actually started from the midfield.

The midfield is undoubtedly the strongest part of Kaiserslautern. If Kaiserslautern's midfield cannot be restrained well, everyone will end up in the same end as Bayern! McLaren said his most A part of worry.

How strong Kaiserslautern's midfield is, can be seen from the names of these players.

Ballack, Nedved, Veron, Denilson, Schneider, Gattuso... This is Yang Cheng's most commonly used lineup. Almost every player has the qualifications to become the core of a team, but They're all on the same team.

This is not the most frightening thing. What is really frightening is that they have been playing football together for three years and have established an extraordinary tacit understanding. In addition, Yang Cheng's basic tactical philosophy has not changed, so they know how to run, know how to How to cooperate and support your teammates. This text was provided by Qihang Update Team

In terms of strength, this set of midfielders even surpassed Manchester United's golden four midfielders!

On the front line, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Larsson are the most stable scorers in Kaiserslautern this season. Yang Cheng's rotation system is very successful. Both of them are in good condition. Their scoring efficiency is very stable. Crowe Ze has potential, but he is not yet able to play alone, but his speed and header are also a big variable.

In McLaren's impression, if scoring is used, Kaiserslautern's striker has 9 points, Manchester United's Black Wind Shuangsha also has 9 points, midfielder Kaiserslautern has points, Manchester United has 9.5 points, Kaiserslautern's defense is the weakest, with 8 points at best, and Manchester United is slightly stronger, but not top-notch, with 8.5 points.

Calculated in this way, the two teams have their own strengths and weaknesses. If they really meet in the final as Ferguson guessed, then it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

The shortcomings of Manchester United this season are Ronnie Johnson's multiple injuries and Irwin's old age. This is also a major hidden danger in Manchester United's defense. candidates.

And Wes Brown, whom Ferguson placed high hopes on, is also temporarily unable to become a big player. The national defender Blanco he originally wanted to introduce failed to do so. Now Manchester United's defense is still in a weak link.

Okay, come back! Ferguson ordered after pondering for a while.

More specific details still have to be discussed in person, and their coaching staff also needs to analyze the game video.

But there is no doubt that Manchester United has regarded Kaiserslautern as the biggest opponent in the final.

…………

…………

Of course, Yang Cheng didn't know that McLaren appeared in the stands and watched all 4 matches between Kaiserslautern and Bayern, but he guessed that this match would definitely attract the attention of countless scouts.

Scouts from Dynamo Kiev and Real Madrid must have been among them too, as the winner between the two teams will face Kaiserslautern in the semi-finals, and no one will be careless.

But what Ferguson didn't know was that he thought he had paid attention to Kaiserslautern, but he didn't expect that Kaiserslautern had been paying attention to Manchester United from the beginning of the season, and even after the group stage, they never let up. .

Yang Cheng still firmly remembers that he said that he wants revenge!

The fourth game against Bayern finally ended with 2:1. In the last minute, Kaiserslautern defended a victory in some embarrassment and completed the four consecutive victories against Bayern. This also attracted Kaiserslautern in the stands Lautern fans burst into joy.

In their view, the team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and killed Bayern four times. There is nothing more exciting in the world than this.

The rumbling drums in the stands and the deafening cheers of the fans resounded throughout the Fritz Walter Stadium.

These 4 matches against Bayern Munich are bound to be recorded in the history of Kaiserslautern and the history of the Bundesliga. Teng did it.

From the double kill last season to the quadruple kill this season, Bayern has undoubtedly been firmly stepped on by Kaiserslautern in the past two years.

If two weeks ago, the fans still felt that it was impossible for Yang Cheng to reverse Bayern, then today, everyone has to admit that this impossibility is being weakened and replaced by possibility. possible!

Now the point gap between Kaiserslautern and Bayern has been shortened to 3 points, coupled with the limelight of Bayern's four kills, Kaiserslautern's momentum is out of control. If Bayern's situation does not improve, maybe they will What we have to face is Kaiserslautern's season reversal.

However, Kaiserslautern is not without hidden dangers, that is, they still have to fight on three lines, but Bayern only has the league left. They can deal with the game more attentively, but Kaiserslautern still has the semi-finals of the Champions League To fight!

Just when Yang Cheng walked back to the locker room with his assistants and players, news from far away in Ukraine also came. Dynamo Kyiv beat Real Madrid 2-0 at home, Hiddink’s team faced Dynamo Kiev Almost powerless.

This also made Yang Cheng feel a little regretful that he could not compete with Hiddink, a master tactician, but the strength of Dynamo Kiev should not be underestimated, especially in the away game, and the frightening Shevchenko.

Now Sheva can really be said to be one of the hottest strikers in Europe, tied with Kaiserslautern's Ruud van Nistelrooy as the most promising popular shooter outside the giants, but Shevchenko is far away in Ukraine, while Ruud van Nistelrooy is He became famous in the Bundesliga, so the latter is even better, but Shevchenko's performance in the Champions League is better than Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Yang Cheng has personally experienced the current Champions League. He feels that if Shevchenko did not rely on the performance of the Champions League, he would not be worth such a high price. Especially for the striker who is the easiest to make sky-high prices.

I'm going to Milan tomorrow, the team is on holiday! Yang Cheng explained to Paul Bayer, Bremer and others who were walking aside.

The latter two nodded, they both knew Yang Cheng's intention to go to Milan.

Manchester United has always been Yang Cheng's most important opponent!

I will come back as soon as possible tomorrow night. This text is provided by the Qihang update team. If it doesn't work, I've already arranged the specific training arrangements in the morning after tomorrow. You can follow suit!

After successive matches against Bayern, the Kaiserslautern players were already exhausted. Naturally, it was impossible for Yang Cheng to arrange a large amount of training. He would only arrange some recovery training.

Do you want me to go with you? Paul Bayer asked.

Yang Cheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, Forget it, the club has just booked a ticket, and you have to buy it from the scalpers when you go, and if I don't come back in time, you will be asked to host the training the day after tomorrow!

Paul Bayer patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder in understanding. This trip to Italy was a trip to and fro, not a sightseeing tour.

…………

…………

After the players returned to the locker room, Yang Cheng praised them for a while, and then encouraged them to continue to maintain the current state, As long as this continues, the league championship will be ours!

Yang Cheng then went to the press conference. This text was provided by Qihang Update Team

Same as the previous attitude, as a winner, Yang Cheng would never throw stones at his opponent's opponents. He would not do things that are out of style. Anyway, he has already won, so he should have the demeanor of a winner, right?

Hitzfeld took the initiative to confess the shortcomings of his team, such as the defense line, such as the combination of the midfielder, etc. At the same time, he also admitted the mistakes he made in the tactical arrangement, and he took all the responsibilities at once. own shoulders.

On the contrary, it was Yang Cheng who took the initiative to excuse him.

The two Bundesliga coaches sang together, they didn't look like rivals at all, but they were good friends vying to maintain. This also became a funny and helpless scene for the reporters, but fortunately they all knew the relationship between Yang Cheng and Heathfield good.

After the press conference, Yang Cheng chatted with Heathfield in private, but he didn't talk about football, and then went back to the team's training base, called the players to fuck, and then announced the disbandment of the team, and the next day's training Timeout, players can get rest time.

After finishing these things, I went back to the office, and after taking a shower and changing clothes, it was already very late.

Turning on the phone, I received several messages of congratulations in one breath. Heidi Klum, Sienna Miller, Natalie Portman, etc. obviously watched these games. Congratulatory text messages will come after a game.

They all probably knew that Yang Cheng didn't turn on his cell phone during the competition.

But just as he was packing up and walking towards the parking lot, he suddenly remembered something and screamed inwardly.

He called Jerry Bruckheimer, but the latter couldn't get through again, and he didn't know what this guy was busy with. As a last resort, he could only search the phone book and found Charlize Theron's phone number.

Hi, Charlize! Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed.

I don't have much contact with you usually, but it's a bit unexpected to call suddenly.

Have you arrived yet? Charlize Theron asked with concern after being polite.

It's the Oscars tonight, and it's afternoon on the American side, and there's not much time until the awards show's red carpet.

No, I didn't go! Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled wryly.

He had told Jerry Bruckheimer before, but he was so busy during this time, how could he care about this.

Oh, really? Charlize Theron was a little disappointed, and her mood was also depressed.

I want to trouble you with something! Yang Cheng didn't hear it, he was rushing to eat now, and then went home to sleep.

Well, tell me! Charlize Theron didn't even ask, and agreed directly.

Yang Cheng was embarrassed, Tonight, I mean if, if I really win the award, you can go up to accept the award instead of me.

Well, yes!

Hehe, that guy Jerry is not going tonight, so I really can't find anyone else. Yang Cheng's description became darker and darker.

Well, it's okay. Charlize Theron explained with a smile.

Then I will trouble you. If you are really unlucky to win the prize, you can thank the judges, thank your parents and so on, and that's it! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Charlize Theron nodded in agreement.

In fact, the two of them didn't know each other very well. If it wasn't for something, they wouldn't have contacted at all, so after finishing talking about this matter, they soon fell into an awkward silence. Yang Cheng was about to say goodbye and hang up the phone.

Hey, wait! Charlize Theron yelled.

Is there something wrong?

After hesitating for a while, Charlize Theron finally plucked up the courage, Well, I want to say, the game was very exciting, all 4 games, very good, very good, congratulations on your victory!

After that, there was a beeping busy tone on the phone.

Yang Cheng looked at his mobile phone blankly, wondering in his heart, did she also watch the football game?

Didn't you say she is an NBA fan? Yang Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head.

He didn't want to go to other places, but the girl on the other side of the ocean, after hanging up the phone, only felt a burst of heartbeat, pounding, beating even more intensely.
