124 Towards maturity [First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass]
In the 24th round of the league, Kaiserslautern welcomed Karlsruhe at home, because the national team match has only passed 4 days, although Yang Cheng used the substitute lineup in the away game against Slavia Prague, but the state of the main players is still very sluggish, resulting in the team finally being forced to draw 0:0 at home by Karlsruhe.
Fortunately, Bayern also suffered from the crisis of the national team competition in this round, and the home team was upset by the clone and lost 0:2.
The gap between the two teams has widened to nine points.
However, in the 25th round of the league, Kaiserslautern challenged Werder Bremen away, although the team showed a better form and scored the first goal, but Werder Bremen stopped Kaiserslautern's attack with an extremely solid defense, and equalized the score with a controversial penalty in the second half, 1:1.
Kaiserslautern ushered in two consecutive draws, but Bayern defeated Bochum 1-0 at home in this round, narrowing the gap to 7 points, and the league title is full of suspense again.
In the 26th round of the league, Kaiserslautern sat at home, with Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal, defeated Munich 1860 1:0, and struggled to get three points, but later on, Bayern defeated Bochum 2:1 and continued to maintain pressure.
Kaiserslautern continued to fight hard, coupled with the unsatisfactory preparation effect during the winter break, resulting in the team now insisting on fighting on two fronts, the players are a little tired, and the recent situation is not very ideal, without the previous excellent performance, so that near the end of the game, the state of the players has been greatly affected, and there are more injuries.
Three days later, sitting at home, ushered in Slavia Prague, Yang Cheng was determined to win this game, including Veron, Nedved and other players all started, and with Larsson, Salihamidzic and Deisler's goals, the home team defeated Slavia Prague 3:0, Nedved, a player from Sparta Prague, was elected the best player of the game.
In this game, Nedved was pushed into the forward position by Yang Cheng, and the Czech showed his rare all-round, although he did not score, but he had two high-quality long-range shots that almost scored, and he contributed two assists.
Yang Cheng replaced the Czech early in the second half, and by the way, replaced Veron and Larsson as well as prepare for the weekend's away game.
In the 27th round of the league, Bayern Munich played a day earlier, and they defeated Stuttgart 3-0 cleanly away, completely sending Loew's team out of the championship race, and no one will doubt that the next Bundesliga title is a game between Bayern and Kaiserslautern.
In this way, all the pressure is concentrated on Kaiserslautern.
Although Yang Cheng said that he wanted to relieve the pressure, although he wanted the players to be unburdened, the media hype and attention, coupled with the unfavorable factors on the schedule, and Trapattoni's conscious news battle, all put Kaiserslautern under a lot of pressure.
At the critical moment, Yang Cheng stood up again and focused everyone's eyes on himself, and he directly reprimanded Trapattoni for his incompetence and conservatism.
"I have no doubt that Bayern are the strongest team in the Bundesliga today, but they are only second in the league now, not because of the players, but because they have a conservative manager, even if they give Trapattoni two more years, he may not be able to teach Bayern how to attack!"
"Middendorp? Yes, we're old rivals and I'm sorry for the situation he's in at the moment, but it's a brutal game, the quality is paramount, it's a pity what happened to Bielefeld, but I can only sympathize because we want to win! ”
The rare media bombardment made Yang Cheng make the front page headlines of the German media all of a sudden, especially his bombardment of Trapattoni, which made the Italians almost crazy, but there was nothing to be done, because Bayern was far behind Kaiserslautern in terms of goals.
Although it has fallen into a crisis recently, Kaiserslautern has scored 70 goals in 26 rounds, which is the strongest attacking firepower in the Bundesliga, especially the team's top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is at the top of the scorer list, and players such as Larsson and Ballack are also among the top scorers, which shows the offensive strength of this team.
On the other hand, Bayern's defense can compete with Kaiserslautern, but there is still a big gap in attack, and they scored 51 goals, far behind Kaiserslautern.
But Yang Cheng's words failed to lead to Trapattoni, but pulled Middendorp out.
The German, who has always regarded Yang Cheng as his nemesis, said in the media that Bielefeld's relegation battle this season starts with Kaiserslautern, and they will need to get more than 16 points in the next eight league games to try to succeed in relegation
Yang Cheng scoffed at this, and in the face of media inquiries, he said one word, attack
After 90 minutes of difficult play, Kaiserslautern won 4-0 away at Bielefeld
Although Middendorp had tried his best to win the game, in the end his team was still inferior in skill and morale was very low, and it was impossible to stop the wolf-like attack of Kaiserslautern who had adjusted.
After round 27, Kaiserslautern could finally breathe a sigh of relief as they had a full week of rest.
For Kaiserslautern, who is always holding back his energy and the whole team is like a tight rubber band, it is a rare pleasure to have a full week of rest.
But the players can rest, but Yang Cheng can't, because he is the head coach of the team.
…………
…………
All Kaiserslautern staff know that in Fritz? It's always hard to see the manager in Walter's office area, because he almost never sets foot in the office area unless there's something special, at best in the press conference hall or conference hall, and rarely enters the office.
But almost everyone will remember that every time Yang Cheng came to the office, he was almost with anger and murderous posture
This time was no exception
Along the way, people kept greeting Yang Cheng, although they belonged to different departments, but they were full of respect for Yang Cheng, because the team he led was in the Bundesliga this season.
The team's results are good, and with it comes a cascade of benefits, such as business development, media attention, etc., which benefit everyone in every department in the office.
In the final analysis, it is all the benefits that Yang Cheng has brought to them, so they always have a natural respect for this young Chinese, and there is always more admiration and respect in the eyes that look at him.
"Hello, Caesar!" When the secretary in front of the vice chairman's office saw Yang Cheng, he immediately stood up and said hello.
"Hi Betty!" Yang Cheng was a little reluctant, but he still responded politely, "Is he there?" ”
Betty laughed secretly in her heart, she had already told the rest of the office that the best way to face Yang Cheng was to greet him first, preferably with a smile and politeness, so that even if he was hot, he would respond politely.
He is actually a very polite and cultivated Chinese at heart
"Yes!" Betty nodded.
Yang Cheng thanked him, then turned around and walked to the side, knocked on the door and got permission before he walked into Melzer's office.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Yang Cheng casually threw a notice he had brought with him to Melzer's desk.
This is a notice sent to Yang Cheng by the club's commercial development team, which introduces the itinerary of Kaiserslautern players to attend sponsorship events in the coming period.
In this regard, the club strictly adheres to Yang Cheng's request to avoid sending players to attend commercial events during busy events, although they are all in the city of Kaiserslautern, but it will still affect the players to some extent, but this week, taking advantage of the week's recuperation period, the club intends to arrange for players to participate in a sponsor's event.
"Sit down, my Caesar!" Melzer knew Yang Cheng's temper and invited him to sit down, "This sponsor has asked for it many times, and they are one of the few big sponsors in our club, I really can't push it off before I go next!" ”
Melzer also showed a distressed expression, "And I have tried my best to accommodate your training time, and arrange the event to end before the evening training, which will not affect your team's preparation!" ”
Yang Cheng saw his expression of hatred and bitterness, and knew that these guys had figured out the character of the person who didn't hit the smiling face, but he shook his head, "I'm not talking about sponsoring the event, I'm talking about Deisler!" ”
Melzer knew that he would not arrange an event for no reason, so he could understand it, but what he couldn't accept was that he arranged for Deisler to attend the sponsorship event.
"Werner, as we said before, Deisler is a key protection object, he is not allowed to participate in commercial activities, he can't adapt to it!" Yang Cheng still has a big shadow of Deisler's depression in his previous life, and he is afraid that the talented star he has cultivated with great difficulty will repeat the mistakes of his previous life again.
"There are a lot of players in the team who can do this role, such as Kyle, Deco, Salihamidzic...... Anyone can do it, don't choose Deisler, k? This is the reason why Yang Cheng is annoyed
This is a group event, not only Deisler alone, but also players such as Veron, Ballack, Nedved, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, all of whom can be understood, but he must not allow the club to take matters into the foreground.
The new international has been in the spotlight lately, with even Beckenbauer marveling that Yang Cheng has produced a rare technical talent for Germany and believes that Deisler will be the top German superstar of the future.
But the more attention he received, the more Yang Cheng worried that Deisler would be overwhelmed.
"You're wrong to blame me, Yang Cheng!" Melzer figured out what was going on and smiled wryly.
Yang Cheng was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
"I've always remembered the agreement with you, but this time it was Deisler who asked for it, and he said he wanted to try!"
Melzer's words made Yang Cheng stunned for a moment, and he felt a little touched in his heart.
"Maybe you should talk to him, Yang Cheng!" Melzer also thought that there was something wrong between Yang Cheng and Deisler.
Yang Cheng nodded, apologized to the latter, and left.
"Hey, Sebastian, are you free?" After Yang Cheng walked out of the court, he made a direct call.
"Boss, yes, what's the matter?" Deisler looked like he was in a good mood.
"Let's have a meal together!"
"Yes, I'm on Otterbach Strasse!" Deisler readily agreed.
"Then Isola Bella, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng walked to Otterbach Street, and soon came to the ground.
Surprisingly, Deisler didn't come alone, but his mother.
"Hello.xzsj8., Mr. Yang Cheng!"
"Hello.xzsj8.!"
Yang Cheng beckoned the two to sit down, sat in his exclusive No. 1 box, closed the door, and no one could see them.
"I've always wanted to invite you to dinner, thank you for your efforts for our family, but I've been busy and never had the opportunity, I'm sorry!" Deisler's mother apologized apologetically.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly and revealed.
"I'll treat you today, Mr. Yang Cheng, thank you for taking care of Sebastian and our family all the time, thank you very much!" Deisler's mother was a little strange.
Yang Cheng didn't know how to deal with it, and when he saw her kindness, he could only nod and agree.
"You talk, I'll go first!" Deisler's mother sat for a while and then left, hugging Deisler goodbye before leaving.
Yang Cheng paid attention to the whole process, Deisler was smiling all the time, and it seemed that their family should get along well.
"Is there anything you want me to do, chief?" Deisler asked with concern.
Yang Cheng almost never disturbed the players' rest, and this was the first time he found Deisler on a rest day.
"Have you been in trouble lately?" Yang Cheng pondered the wording and asked.
Deisler frowned, thought about it, and was a little dazed, "No, boss, why do you ask that?" ”
"It's nothing, I just looked at the team schedule on Monday, and they put you on the itinerary to attend the sponsorship event, and said that you asked for it, so I want to find out, if there is really any trouble, Sebastian, you must remember to tell me!" Yang Cheng said very seriously.
After hearing this, Deisler smiled slightly, the smile was a little complicated, unpredictable, what was the joy? Or bitter?
Yang Cheng looked at his disciple silently, although after Schneider came to the team this season, Deisler played more as a rotation and substitute, but his improvement is obvious, and this is also a decision made by Yang Cheng to protect him.
Yang Cheng will not overuse him until his physical fitness is fully developed, so it was Fritz last season, Schneider this season, and even Salihamidzic, all of whom are competing with Deisler for the main position.
The two were silent for nearly a minute, both pretending to look out the window, but Yang Cheng was waiting for Deisler's confession, and Deisler was thinking about his own plans.
"Boss!" Deisler finally broke the silence, "Actually, I know that you have been protecting me all along!" His eyes were slightly red, and his tone of voice was very sincere.
"Since the last time you rushed into the court for me, I know in my heart that you are for my good, and everything you do is to protect me, take care of me, and help me better adapt to this society, so when you call me a coward, I feel very sad and complain to myself, because I know that you hated iron but not steel!"
Deisler spoke, as if moved by his own memories.
"We made it clear before that you went to Lorach for me, and personally convinced my parents that I was ...... When I saw my parents in the stands on the field, I felt a feeling in my heart, I really wanted to tell you, Boss, I am very grateful for what you have done for me, and I will do everything I can to repay your love and trust in me, even at the cost of my life! ”
By the time of the last sentence, Deisler's eyes welled up with tears, but he gritted his teeth and spoke very firmly.
"For more than a year, I have lived with my parents, and they always pretend to be very affectionate and sweet for me, but in fact I know that they are in the same room and different beds at night, and the reason why they do this is more because they don't want to affect me because of their affairs, they also want to protect me and take care of me!"
"At first, I pretended not to know the truth, but gradually, I remembered a lot of what you told me, you told me to be brave, to be strong, to face everything confidently, you told me that I must not escape when I encounter difficulties, and you also told me that no matter what I do, you will support me and help me......"
After a pause, Deisler was clearly collecting his emotions and calming his excitement, but tears were rolling in his eyes.
"I began to understand my parents, they lied to me because they loved me and didn't want me to be hurt, and I also understood that you didn't let me participate in sponsorship events, didn't let me appear in front of the media, didn't let me work too hard in the competition, but ...... But the boss ......"
When he arrived here, Deisler suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng very resolutely and affirmatively, "But boss, I want to try, I don't want to always let all of you who love me and the people I love wronged yourself for me, and I don't want to live under your guard forever, I hope to be able to better understand this society and understand everything about it!" ”
"I know, this is what you, the boss, and my parents, and all the people who love me, want me to do!"
Deisler, in turn, grabbed Yang Cheng's hand tightly, very hard, as if he couldn't crumple his hands with Yang Cheng's hands, and looked at Yang Cheng with a resolute and sincere face, "Boss, I have already talked to my parents, I hope they can also live according to their own wishes, I rented a house next door for my mother, they are separated, I will take the initiative to learn to adapt to all this, and you, the person I respect and love the most, you let me try, okay?" ”
Yang Cheng suddenly had a feeling of emotion, which surged into his heart from the depths of his heart, because he had witnessed the growth and progress of Deisler, he saw a person with his own eyes, from ignorance to maturity, he was like a father, watching his children grow up, that feeling, that pride and pride, filled his heart.
Looking at Deisler's eyes full of anticipation, Yang Cheng knew that he was ready to come out, so he nodded, "I promise you!" ”
Deisler laughed, showing his white teeth and smiling brightly.
"But you have to promise me that no matter what problems you encounter, what troubles you encounter, or things that don't go your way, I will always be by your side to support you, and you can come to me anytime and anywhere, you know?"
Deisler nodded in agreement.
