Super Coach

…………

…………

The setting sun at dusk dyed most of Kaiserslautern's sky red like blood, covering the city close to the forest.

The competition is approaching, and tomorrow is the German Super Cup match, but Yang Cheng suddenly announced that today's training will be cancelled, and all players included in tomorrow's match list can not be used for training today, and he himself did not go to the club all day.

The previously busy pace of life has suddenly slowed down, and I am really not used to it.

I stayed at home and read books all day, which were professional books on football tactics and management. My head hurt a little from reading them, so Yang Cheng went out for a walk in the evening.

There is a good saying, if a man is not shopping, shopping is a kind of torture!

Unknowingly, walking along Alterbach Street, I came to the front of Isola Bella Italian Restaurant again.

At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go, so he opened the door and went in, ordering something to eat by the way.

Welcome! Tony Vicino's shout once again startled Yang Cheng, who was in a trance, and the latter was stunned.

Haha, it's you, the unlucky head coach! Tony couldn't help laughing as soon as he recognized Yang Cheng.

During this period of time, Yang Cheng occasionally came here to eat, but the food in the Italian restaurant was not to his liking, so he seldom came here, especially after encountering players gathering here once, he avoided it with some embarrassment, and then I didn't come any more.

Do I look really unlucky? Yang Cheng asked with a wry smile.

Now the whole of Germany regards him as unlucky, because in his first official game of coaching Kaiserslautern, he will encounter the extremely powerful Dortmund. Isn't this unlucky?

I don't know! Tony's grinning expression betrayed him.

Just bring me a dinner, I haven't eaten much all day!

How about spaghetti? Tony suggested.

Yang Cheng nodded, and Tony immediately agreed to go, and gave him a soup for free.

Sitting in the seat, Yang Cheng had nothing to do and didn't know what to do, so he waited for the food to be served, so he looked around.

The decoration of Isola Bella is actually very simple, with a bit of Italian flavor, but it is a bit strange. It is very close to Kaiserslautern, and it is also a place where Kaiserslautern players often gather, but it does not look like it here. Like the base camp of Kaiserslautern.

The most obvious is the decoration outside the store, which is painted in black and white, not the red of Kaiserslautern at all.

Unable to understand this question, Yang Cheng shook it with a headache and drank some water.

What? Are you in trouble? Tony Vicino delivered the food himself.

Yang Cheng took it, and he was a little hungry, so he started to gobble it up.

I should be considered a good listener, maybe you can talk to me, maybe I can help you answer! Tony suggested.

Yang Cheng ate his noodles and asked, Why isn't your place like those bars or something, decorated in the colors of Kaiserslautern to attract more fans?

Tony Vicino was taken aback when he heard that, Did you just have this headache?

Yes, otherwise, why do you think I'm having a headache? Yang Cheng thought it was funny.

I... Tony was speechless, and then muttered, I thought you were worrying about the match against Dortmund!

Yang Cheng laughed, That's nothing to worry about, isn't it just a game?

Don't you want to win? Tony frowned, I believe any Kaiserslautern fan would feel uncomfortable.

Why don't you want to? Yang Cheng retorted, still destroying the spaghetti in front of him.

Then why don't you seem to be bothered at all? Tony thought Yang Cheng didn't care about the game.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: The game is almost ready, everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be done has been done. The rest depends on the performance of the players. No matter how much I worry about it, What can be changed?

Finally wiped out the spaghetti in front of him. Yang Cheng felt that he was not full enough, but he made up with it. He drank some water, wiped his mouth, and then said with a smile: Although the football match is very accidental, it actually happens. Strength still comes first, no matter how worried I am, I can’t let Kaiserslautern’s strength reach Dortmund’s overnight, right?”

Tony had to admit that Yang Cheng was right, but he was a little too open-minded.

A lot of people like to worry before big competitions, and I do that sometimes, but I don't know why, this time I don't worry much, it's not because I don't care about winning or losing, on the contrary, for this game, I am more worried than anyone else. Everyone has to pay attention, they all have to be nervous, and they all want to win, but I just don’t think there is anything to worry about, because I know that as long as I do my best, no matter if I lose or win, I will have no regrets!”

For Yang Cheng, he really has no regrets to be able to fight against Dortmund and Heathfield at their peak, so why bother?

Tony looked at Yang Cheng, listened to his words, suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, Well said!

Yang Cheng smiled modestly, By the way, you haven't answered my question just now!

Tony smiled wryly at Yang Cheng, as if to say, you don't care about the game, but you care about my store instead.

The reason is simple, because I am not a fan of Kaiserslautern, and this Italian restaurant is my brainchild, so I don't want my brainchild to become the color of a team I don't like.

From Tony's words, Yang Cheng even tasted a kind of disgust. It can be seen that he seems to hate Kaiserslautern.

But why is it that such a person who hates the team runs a restaurant, but it has become a stronghold for Kaiserslautern players? Is there any story in it?

Seeing the color of Yang Cheng's question, Tony shook his head, as if saying he had no comment.

Yang Cheng is not a gossip weekly reporter who likes to explore secrets, so he just smiled and asked casually: Then which team are you a fan of? The Italian team?

Tony nodded, pointing to the counter when he first entered, and saw a small flag hanging in an inconspicuous corner behind the counter where the wine was placed, with a zebra pattern embroidered on the flag, which was obviously from Juventus. team logo.

Are you a Juventus fan? Yang Cheng recognized it, which also explained why the outside of the store was painted in black and white, because black and white are the colors of the Juventus team logo.

Tony nodded slightly proudly, But the guys in Kaiserslautern said they don't like seeing Juventus flags or souvenirs in my store, so I can only put the only souvenir It's in my private space!

Yang Cheng laughed out loud.

Indeed, the flag was placed behind the counter, and if Tony Vicino was standing there, no one would be able to see it, even if he was not there to cover it, as long as there was no special instruction to see this inconspicuous corner , it is not easy.

I heard that you have been in this city for many years, why didn't you fall in love with this club as the Romans do?

What is there to love about him? Tony asked with a smile

Yang Cheng was at a loss for words because he couldn't answer.

Falling in love with a team should be a natural thing. Since it is natural, how can you tell the reason?

But those who love for reasons that can be explained are often for the sake of love. As long as the reasons for their love disappear from this team, their love will also become weak, and eventually they will even empathize with others. love.

Only those who can't tell the reason and always support the team in obscurity are the ones who really love this team!

In the past, many players from Kaiserslautern would jokingly tell me after every change of head coach, you will definitely fall in love with this team! But the head coach changed one after another, Players have changed from batch to batch, but I still haven’t been able to fall in love with this team, even I find it strange!” Tony explained with a smile.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, After I take office, no player will tell you that you will fall in love with this team, right?

Tony did not hide it, Not only did I not, some people thought I would hate this team even more!

Yang Cheng suddenly burst out laughing.

There was once a person who made an agreement with me. If one day I really fell in love with this team, then I would paint the outside wall red and dye it with the Kaiserslautern team logo. , and then he will come to my shop again!

When Tony said this, he shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, But unfortunately, I haven't fallen in love with it until now. On the contrary, the club will give me free tickets every season, just want me to go to the game. , falling in love with this team, this should be regarded as the benefit I got because of that agreement!

This is the first time Yang Cheng has heard of such a thing, and he also finds it very interesting, Who is that person?

Tony Vicino pointed to Table 1 in the distance, and the answer was self-explanatory.

Yang Cheng's smile gradually disappeared, especially when he saw the almost pilgrimage respect on Tony's face, he could imagine how important Fritz Walter was in this team and in this city. How heavy.

The miracle of Bern, even after countless years, is still the greatest miracle in the history of football, and even one of them can be written off.

And Fritz Walter is the creator of this miracle!

Yang Cheng finally vaguely guessed that maybe this is why this place can become the base camp of Kaiserslautern players, especially local players such as Bremer. I believe that each of them should come here with a kind of The psychology of pilgrimage.

But unfortunately, over the years, Fritz Walter has disappeared from the stadium named after himself, and from this Italian restaurant that had a bet with him.

So, as the flag and symbol of Kaiserslautern, what kind of mentality does he have for this club?

Yang Cheng didn't know, but he really wanted to know!
