79 This is just the beginning!

Well, I'll admit, I want a monthly pass and want to go crazy!
At least two more chapters today!
The train slowly pulled into the station in Fritz? The train station to the east of the Walter Stadium.
The waiting platform was already crowded with Kaiserslautern fans who greeted the team, and when they saw the carriages with the red banner of Kaiserslautern winning the championship driving into the platform, they all cheered in an uproar, and the security guards who maintained order at the train station almost did not break their courage, and guarded one by one as if they were facing a great enemy.
This is Kaiserslautern's first European title in history, and it will undoubtedly be the first European Cup title in history, and although it is only the Cup Winners' Cup, the trophy is even more valuable than the League Cup winners in the next few years.
Today's three major European cups are at their peak, and if it were not for UEFA's admonition from the big clubs, which had to reform the European Champions Cup, which would have affected the League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, the glory of the three major cups would undoubtedly have a more profound impact on European football.
When Yang Cheng walked in front and was the first to walk out of the carriage, the fans in the stands suddenly cheered and shouted Yang Cheng's name.
He smiled and waved to the fans at the scene, constantly greeting and shaking hands with them, but he didn't linger for a moment.
Yang Cheng was followed by the club's legendary star, the current captain Bremer, who came out with the European Cup Winners' Cup trophy in his hand, and was immediately cheered by all the fans at the scene, and the scene was even a little chaotic, because this was the first time that the European trophy was won in Kaiserslautern on the edge of the forest.
The players came out one after another, and the fans on the scene became very fanatical one by one, believing that if it were not for the security guards at the train station and the police specially dispatched by the police station to maintain order, they would probably rush forward, and the scene would have been chaotic at that time.
The team's bus was already waiting outside the train station, and Yang Cheng led the team to board the bus and slowly headed towards Fritz on the small hill to the west. Walter Stadium heading out.
Due to the close distance, the fans ran behind the bus one by one.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the group of fanatical fans who followed behind, the players all showed excited looks.
"I still remember that when we came to this city a year ago, they were still protesting, who would have thought that a year later, they have all completely become your loyal fans." Paul? Bayer has a sense of impermanence.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, recalling himself a year ago and himself a year later, there was really a world of difference.
He believes that he was probably not Frederick's first choice a year ago, but he didn't know why, but he coached Kaiserslautern by mistake, and spent a year bringing great changes and surprises to this team and the city.
But he is also very sober, there is no time to spend a hundred days, nothing in this world is eternal, as long as his performance is a little worse, as long as the results of the team he coaches deteriorate, then they will begin to gradually leave him, and even turn the gun around and become a defender who criticizes himself.
Things in this world are often so realistic!
Bremer sat in the back row of Yang Cheng, he was rubbing the trophy in his arms, and Lutz next to him, both of them looked serious, obviously, they didn't know if they would be able to stay on the team in their next stop.
In the second half of the season, Bremer's situation was a little better, and Rutz had gradually begun to lose his main position in the league in favor of Sebastian, who was strongly supported by Yang Cheng? Kyle, Louis? Hute and Lucio were replaced, and the performance of these three youngsters was very good, which made people see the potential.
I believe that if it weren't for Lutz's rich experience and his more tacit cooperation with Kosch and Bremer, Yang Cheng would not have let him play in key matches and the Cup Winners' Cup.
However, many things are well known, Yang Cheng has completed the team's midfield run-in, and Pavel on the front? After Kuka leaves, Marshall, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Klose will play the main role, and then the target of his replacement will be transferred to the backline, and Bremer and others will definitely not be able to play the main team even if they barely stay.
"What's wrong, Andres?" Yang Cheng turned his head and asked with a smile.
Bremer gently stroked the trophy, as if he was worried that he would leave fingerprints on the smooth trophy, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I have no regrets about winning this trophy!" ”
Yang Cheng heard that something was wrong, and immediately shook his head and said: "Don't think so, Andres, we can still hope for the next trophy, there is also the European Super Cup next year, if our opponent is Dortmund, then we just win them again, if it is Juventus, it is just right for our team to experience the test of the top giants in Serie A, don't you think you are looking forward to it?" ”
Today's UEFA Super Cup is a contest between the Champions League winner and the Cup Winners' Cup, and the current Champions League has completed the semi-finals, Dortmund and Juventus both reached the final, which is very consistent with Yang Cheng's previous life, the difference is that I don't know who can win the championship.
"Remember what I told you!" Yang Cheng nodded in support of Bremer with great certainty.
Lutz, Kadlec and others are not indispensable to him, as long as he can bring in new players appropriately, he doesn't care about the team's metabolism, after all, the current Kaiserslautern backline is too old, except for Kosch, the others are already in their thirties.
But Bremer is different, he is the captain of the team, the spiritual symbol of the team, has a coveted influence in the dressing room, and he is the only player in the team who can be appointed by Yang Chengxin and can help him manage the team's dressing room.
Yang Cheng told him before that he would take a salary cut next season to stay in the team, as a player and coach, and learn while playing.
But all this will have to wait for Yang Cheng to negotiate with Frederick again!

When the team's bus arrives in Fritz? In the square in front of the Walter Stadium, thousands of Kaiserslautern fans had already gathered here, all of whom had come to celebrate.
The club set up a modest rostrum in front of the square, and the mayor of Kaiserslautern was present to wait for the team and welcome the team on their triumphant return.
As the head coach, Yang Cheng led the team to get off the bus one after another, and then under the arrangement of the club, Bremer held the trophy, under the leadership of Yang Cheng, slowly passed by the fans, accepted the cheers and appreciation of the fans, climbed the rostrum, and personally put the trophy of the European Cup Winners' Cup in the middle of the rostrum.
In the far reaches of the stadium, there is an uncovered bus that has long been dyed red in Kaiserslautern, with a large Kaiserslautern badge on the left and right of the car, which is the car that will be used to parade the team around the city with the Cup Winners' Cup.
At the beginning of the welcoming ceremony, the chairman of the club, Frederick, took the lead to speak, in which he thanked the head coach Yang Cheng for his outstanding contribution to the club, and believed that the excellent coaching ability of the Chinese coach can lead the team to the top of the European Cup.
"This is the first time that our club has the halo of European championship on our head, this is a championship that will go down in history, and it is a festival for all our Kaiserslautern fans, a day that we will always remember, and it is our head coach, Mr. Yang Cheng, who brought us all this!"
There was an overwhelming round of applause at the scene, and Yang Cheng stood behind Frederick, smiling, and politely nodding to the fans at the scene, looking very calm and chic.
Then there was the mayor of Kaiserslautern, who also highly praised Kaiserslautern's outstanding performance in European competitions, believing that the team deserved to win the Cup Winners' Cup, and Yang Cheng, as the team's great contributor to the team's Cup Winners' Cup, deserves the love and respect of all Kaiserslautern people.
"To be honest, a year ago, when I heard that our old friend Frederick had decided to hire Mr. Yang Cheng, I was as skeptical as all Kaiserslautern people, but today, a year later, I have to say that this is definitely one of the greatest and most successful signings in the history of the club, because it was this signing that brought our club the first European championship trophy in its history, and made us the king of Europe for the first time!"
"I can't express how grateful I am to Mr. Yang Cheng and to the players of the club, I can only speak for all our Kaiserslautern citizens, thank our heroes, thank you to our Caesar!"
After finishing speaking, Mayor Kaiserslautern also turned around and took the initiative to hug Yang Cheng tightly, and then hugged the players one after another, which immediately received a burst of jubilant applause from the scene.
For the city of Kaiserslautern, the team's victory in the Cup Winners' Cup will undoubtedly greatly increase the city's popularity in Europe and will inevitably attract more tourists and fans to the city, which is tantamount to contributing to the team.
After the chairman and the mayor finished speaking, Yang Cheng came to the front of the microphone.
The eyes of the Kaiserslautern fans in the audience were full of respect, and they gathered on the 25-year-old Chinese young man, who became the hero of the city, became their Caesar, became their leader.
'A year ago, when I decided to coach Kaiserslautern, I never thought I would be where I am today, and I asked myself, can I lead this team back to the Bundesliga?
Yang Cheng's subdued voice suddenly made everyone in the audience quiet, and listened to him silently.
"When I first came to Kaiserslautern, when I saw countless fans outside stretching banners against me and questioning me, I didn't feel angry and disappointed, but I felt a sense of relief in my heart, because this is just a testament to the feelings and love that the fans have for this team!"
"I told myself in my heart that I could succeed because this team has a long history and tradition, a group of fans who love the team passionately, and a group of players who are exceptional, so we can succeed and we have what it takes to succeed!"
"That's what I've always told my players, and I've told them that as long as we're united, as long as we share the same beliefs and goals, there's nothing in the world that can stop us from succeeding! Then the opponent on the football field is no longer scary! Then we have the foundation and premise to win all honors! ”
Yang Cheng's words immediately made everyone present applaud vigorously, and they were all aroused by Yang Cheng's passion.
"I thank Mr. Mayor for the compliment, but I want to say that the team is where it is today, not only to me, but also to my assistants, our players, our fans, the board of directors, and the support of all sectors of society, but this is just the beginning!"
"We shouldn't just settle for a Cup Winners' Cup, it's not enough to be complacent compared to other honours, we should take a long-term view, next season we can play in the UEFA Super Cup, next season we will play in the Bundesliga, next season we will have the opportunity to continue in the European Cup Winners' Cup, if we are satisfied, then there will always be only one Cup Winners' Cup on the laurels of our club!"
Yang Cheng spread his hands and looked at these fans on the stage inquiringly, and they all immediately raised their hands and shouted excitedly, venting their dissatisfaction, hoping that the team could achieve higher and more brilliant results.
"This is just the beginning! We must always tell ourselves sensibly and soberly that this is just the beginning! Only in this way will we be able to get more and go further! ”
After speaking, Yang Cheng waved his hand to the fans in the audience with a smile, ending his speech this time, but in exchange for the warmest applause and cheers of the fans in the audience since the welcoming ceremony.
Frederick has seen with his own eyes the status and influence of Yang Cheng in the hearts of today's Kaiserslautern fans, he never thought that a year can change so much, but the facts are in front of him!
There aren't many options left for Kaiserslautern's board of directors these days, but that definitely doesn't include parting ways with Yang Cheng, as that would put the club's fans completely against the club.
It is absolutely irrational to dismiss the meritorious leader after winning the championship!
But from Yang Cheng's words just now, Frederick also heard more connotations, that is, he has more ambitious goals and ambitions, and he hopes to bring Kaiserslautern to a higher and more brilliant level.
It is difficult to say whether Yang Cheng is for himself or for the club, maybe the relationship between the two is complementary, but Frederick is secretly worried in his heart, because he is worried that if some of his decisions are announced to the public, it will inevitably affect Yang Cheng's renewal with the club.

The second day's victory parade was specially arranged at noon, and it happened that the weather in Kaiserslautern was nice and cool these days, so the whole parade was supported by the people of the whole city, and finally evolved into a festival for all Kaiserslautern citizens.
But after the parade, the club had to go to the final sprint of the league.
Kaiserslautern are now 12 points ahead of second-placed Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, and if they win Mannheim at home in the 30th round of the league, Kaiserslautern will win the Bundesliga four rounds ahead of schedule.
So while celebrating the winners' cup victory, Yang Cheng began to arrange the league preparations.
Two days after the parade, the team hosted Mannheim.
The side that have been in the relegation zone this season are doing their best to fight for relegation, even when it comes to Kaiserslautern, but they are still fearless in their tenacious counter-attacking tactics.
Yang Cheng made a proper rotation in this game, but even so, Ruud van Nistelrooy's hat trick and Klose and Deco's goals slaughtered Mannheim 5:0 at home.
The whole game was completely carried out under the rhythm of Kaiserslautern, although Mannheim was very tenacious, but still could not stop Kaiserslautern tide of attack, especially the outstanding performance of Dutch teenager Ruud van Nistelrooy, which made Yang Cheng see the team's future offensive guarantee.
Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Stuttgart Kickers at home, while VfL Wolfsburg were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Winterhachen.
Although these two games could not affect Kaiserslautern's championship, and did not have much impact on the general trend of league promotion, the move of dropping the chain at the door still made people see the gap between Kaiserslautern and these two German second teams that are also aiming to rush to the first division, at least in terms of mental will, Kaiserslautern is better than his opponent.
Moreover, in the game against Mannheim, Kaiserslautern almost half of the main players were rested.
With the trade-offs of the other, Kaiserslautern's ascent to the top is even more convincing.
And after the end of this game, the whole Fritz? The Walter Stadium was a sea of celebration, although the DFB didn't send the league trophy to Fritz before the game? Walter Stadium, but the fans are still celebrating the team's victory at their home stadium.
This is the third title of the season for Kaiserslautern.
All that remains is the final of the German Cup at the Olympic Arena in Berlin on June 14.
This season's Cottage Ivbus has already booked a place in the Bundesliga next season, so they are also fully committed to the preparation for the German Cup final, and they all hope to play their dark horse image to the end.
In addition, the outside world is hyping Kaiserslautern's historical result in the German Cup final.
In history, Kaiserslautern has reached the final of the German Cup 6 times, won 2 times and failed 4 times, but coincidentally, the first four times all failed, and from the 3-2 defeat of Werder Bremen to the victory of Karlsruhe last season, Kaiserslautern ushered in two consecutive wins.
Coupled with the defeat of Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup, the defeat of Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup, and the defeat of Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in the European Cup Winners' Cup, Kaiserslautern is the most shocking dark horse in European football this season.
Compared to this incredibly black dark horse, Otbus looks a little darker, although the final has not yet started, but the outside world has already supported Kaiserslautern, just as they supported Barcelona before the Cup Winners' Cup final.
But Yang Cheng doesn't want to be Bobby? Robson!
