With Deisler's genius strike in the 78th minute, Bayern seemed to have completely lost the fighting spirit and confidence to resist, and they looked at a loss on the pitch, and their performance was very different from before.

Even captain Matthaus and Klinsmann and others seemed to lack fighting spirit, which made Trapattoni on the sidelines almost mad, especially after seeing Marshall almost score another goal for Kaiserslautern in the 87th minute.

The game ended 3:1, Kaiserslautern relied on the outstanding performance of the talented teenager Deisler, a pass and a shot, sank Bayern, a superstar green battleship, and sent Kaiserslautern to the top 8 of the German Cup, and Deisler was also voted the best player of the match by the media.

As is customary, the managers of both sides returned to the dressing room after the game, met with their players and then attended a press conference.

The Fritz Walter Stadium's press conference was a modest set-up, but the reporters who came to the conference clearly didn't care about the flaws, they only cared about getting the answers they wanted.

The first to be given the right to ask questions was Kaiserslautern local Free Press reporter Gran Nack, who is close friends with Yang Cheng and is now the most closely connected official reporter in Kaiserslautern, and his columns and reports in Kaiserslautern Free Press are jokingly dubbed the speakers of Kaiserslautern by local fans.

After Kaiserslautern won, Glen Nack was very excited, and asked three questions in one breath, all about Yang Cheng, the team and the players, and Yang Cheng was also in a very good mood, plus he and Glen Nack cooperated tacitly, so naturally he knew everything, and it may not be exhausted.

As always, Yang Cheng refused to comment on the performance of the players alone!

After following Glen Nack, the reporters asked a series of questions related to Kaiserslautern, and the young and handsome Yang Cheng seemed to be the protagonist of this press conference.

But at this moment, when one of the reporters threw the question back to Trapattoni, the manager who was so angry after arriving late that he was so angry that everyone present broke out in a cold sweat.

"The reason for our team's defeat? It's simple, because all of a sudden our players don't know how to attack, they don't have the motivation to attack, and I even wonder, is this still a German team? Is this still Bayern Munich? ”

"My tactics are conservative? In the last 30 minutes of the second half, I even used three strikers, but you can see the result, who else do you see besides Jankel? Oh, Klinsmann, he made a mistake that caused the opponent's youngster to run long distances! ”

"I've said it very clearly and it's very easy to understand, I'm just complaining, I don't think our players have the motivation to keep winning, if we keep playing this way in this game, we're done with this season and we don't want to win the league at all!"

"But some players are fighting on multiple fronts in a row, and their bodies should be overloaded!" A reporter who is familiar with Bayern also kindly reminded this Italian bald guy that after all, it is not a good thing to open up the big man in the team.

"I know that it's okay for Trapattoni not to listen, but when he heard it, he was even more angry, and kept slapping the table in front of him, "I know that there are players who need to rest, I am their manager, I know better than anyone else, but is this the reason? There is a two-day gap between the league and the cup, but how did they train during those two days? ”

'I'm not an idiot, I'm not blind, I have eyes, I know how to see, I know how to analyse, I know what is happening on the training ground and on the football pitch, I know better what they are doing, I have to stress that in this game we have some players who are as weak as an empty bottle!'

Yang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered a very interesting thing in his mind, that is, the famous Trapattoni madness incident in his previous life, when he criticized the players of his own team at the press conference and described them as empty bottles.

In Italian, it means not to work hard, but in German it means incompetence, this sentence was later advertised by the media as a classic adjective, and hyped, and even in 2002, when the German Muller Beverage Group invited Trapattoni to shoot a group of yogurt commercials, the last shot was Trapattoni smiling at the camera and saying: "The yogurt is finished, it's like the bottle is empty!" ”

This shows how profound the influence of this sentence is in Germany!

Yang Cheng sat next to Trapattoni, he was a little incredulous, because he couldn't imagine that the events of his previous life would happen in advance now, and it was because of his appearance that the Italian coach was furious, which really made him both proud and curious.

I wonder if Trapattoni's angry rhetoric will bring him and Bayern something?

Although Trapattoni's angry remarks caused an uproar in the German media, to some extent, it covered up Kaiserslautern's great victory over Bayern with a weak victory, but it did not cause any negative impact, but also promoted Bayern's internal unity atmosphere.

According to the reporter's grapevine, the day after the defeat to Kaiserslautern and the elimination of the German Cup, the Bayern hierarchy immediately held a high-level meeting, with Trapatoni, Mateus, Klinsmann and Helmer on the team's side.

At this high-level meeting, the top management, including Beckenbauer and others, made it clear that they trusted Trapattoni and hoped that the dispute between Mateus and Klinsmann could be put aside for the time being, and that the team's ultimate interests would be the premise to ensure that the team could make a difference in the German league this season.

Uncharacteristically, after a crushing defeat at Kaiserslautern, Mateus and Klinsmann did not refute the proposal of the higher-ups, but promised that they would reconcile temporarily in the interests of the team, although they could not guarantee that they would be reassured, but on the pitch, they would work hard for Bayern.

As for Trapattoni, he was bold enough to take responsibility for the loss, saying that his tactical missteps led to the defeat of Kaiserslautern and that he was willing to take responsibility, but he also assured that Bayern were aiming for the Bundesliga title this season and he was confident of that.

Bayern's top management once again expressed their trust in Trapattoni and decided to fully support Trapattoni's coaching of the team.

In this way, because of a defeat in a cup competition, Bayern turned the crisis into an opportunity, but achieved temporary unity in the face of adversity, and laid a solid foundation for the final championship of the Bundesliga this season.

On the other hand, Kaiserslautern, after defeating Bayern, the outside world was not rumored to be the Red Devils' upset, but Trapattoni's remarks after the game, especially the loss of control of the Italian coach, which was hyped and hyped by the media, but the winner of the game, Kaiserslautern, was put aside and ignored.

However, Yang Cheng was happy to do the same, praising the performance of the players after the game and encouraging them to keep up the good work.

With the momentum of beating Bayern at home, Kaiserslautern welcomed Eintracht Frankfurt at home, the relegated team of the Bundesliga, this season's performance in the Bundesliga continues to be sluggish, this game is away, but Kaiserslautern is slaughtered 5:0 at home, Marshall scored twice, Nedved, Denilson and Deisler scored a goal each.

A week later, the team travelled to take on Méppen in the final round of the Bundesliga before the winter break, and Kaiserslautern had to play in a semi-main squad in preparation for the German Cup quarter-finals against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek.

Thankfully, in the second half, substitute Denilson created a penalty for Kaiserslautern and Ballack converted the penalty to equalise for Kaiserslautern.

After 17 rounds, Kaiserslautern remained unbeaten with 14 wins and three draws, topping the Bundesliga with 45 points, and 10 points ahead of second-placed Hertha Berlin, becoming the favourites to win the Bundesliga title this season.

Two days after the win over Meppen, the team travelled to Bayer Leverkusen.

The latter had just experienced a tough draw away from Bochum, and after returning to home, facing the Red Devils Kaiserslautern who were active after the rotation and determined to take revenge on the revenge of the last round of last season, although Daum put out a positive strategy, he did not expect Yang Cheng to be more daring than him, playing attacking football away from home, and after the opening, he used the attacking ability of Denilson and Deisler on the flanks to press Leverkusen to the point where he could not look up.

After 45 minutes, Kaiserslautern temporarily led Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 thanks to a direct free kick from Veron and a long-range shot from Nedved.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Daum counterattacked, although a goal was scored by Kirsten, but the referee ruled that the goal was offside, and the goal was invalidated, and the game ended 0:2, Kaiserslautern reached the semi-finals.

Yang Cheng also used this match to prove to Calderon and Worrall on the podium how wrong they were in choosing Daum in the first place, and he was getting better in Kaiserslautern.

It was at the end of the game that Yang Cheng returned to Kaiserslautern that the club showed him a letter from the Football Association, asking him to immediately go to Eintracht Frankfurt to attend the hearing held in the previous game in Oldenburg, when he rushed onto the pitch and knocked down the opposing player.

Yang Cheng knew in his heart that sooner or later, he would have to come!
