The evening sun stained most of Kaiserslautern's sky red like blood, over the city near the forest.

The tournament is approaching, and tomorrow is the German Super Cup, but Yang Cheng suddenly announced that today's training was canceled, and all the players who were included in the list for tomorrow's game can not be used to train today, and he himself did not go to the club all day.

The busy pace of life has suddenly slowed down, and I am really a little unaccustomed.

I watched it at home all day, all of which were professional in football tactics and management, and my head hurt a little when I saw it, so Yang Cheng took advantage of the evening to go out shopping and take a walk.

There is a good saying that if a man is not going to buy something, shopping is a kind of torture!

Before I knew it, I was walking along the Otterbach Strasse and came to the front of Isola Bella's Italian restaurant.

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

"Welcome!" Tony Vecchino's shout startled the trance-stricken Yang Cheng again, and the latter was stunned for a moment.

"Haha, it's you, unlucky Mr. Coach!" As soon as Tony recognized Yang Cheng, he couldn't help but laugh.

During this time, Yang Cheng would occasionally come here to eat, but the Italian restaurant was not to his liking, so he came relatively rarely, especially after meeting the players gathering here, he avoided it a little awkwardly, and then didn't come much again.

"I really look like a bad guy?" Yang Cheng asked with a wry smile.

Now the whole of Germany is treating him as unlucky, because he is going to meet the mighty Borussia Dortmund in his first official game in charge of Kaiserslautern.

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

"Bring me dinner, I haven't eaten much all day!"

"How's the pasta?" Tony suggested.

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

Sitting in his 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 décor of Isola Bella is actually very rustic, a bit Italian, but a little strange, it's close to Kaiserslautern and where the Kaiserslautern players often gather, but it doesn't look like Kaiserslautern's home base.

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

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

"What? Having trouble? "Tony Vecchino personally brought the food up.

Yang Cheng took it, his stomach was a little hungry, so he devoured it.

"I'm supposed to be a good listener, maybe you can talk to me, maybe I can help you out!" Tony proposed.

Yang Cheng ate noodles and asked, "Why don't you have a place like those bars or something, decorated in Kaiserslautern colors to attract more fans?" ”

Tony Vecchino was stunned, "You just had a headache?" ”

"yes, otherwise you think I'm having a headache?" Yang Cheng thought it was funny.

"I ......," Tony muttered, before muttering, "I thought you were bothering the game against Dortmund!" ”

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

"Don't you want to win?" Toney frowned, believing that any Kaiserslautern fan would be upset.

"Why don't you want to?" Yang Cheng was still destroying the pasta in front of him and retorted.

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

How do you know that Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "The game has been prepared, everything that should be said has been said, everything that should be done has been done, and the rest depends on the performance of the players, even if I am troubled, what can I change?" ”

Finally eliminated the pasta in front of him, Yang Cheng felt that he was not full enough, but he was about to settle, drank some water, wiped his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Although the football game is very accidental, but in fact, strength is supreme, even if I am worried, I can't let Kaiserslautern's strength reach the level of Dortmund 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 the big game, I sometimes do, but I don't know why, this time I don't worry too much, it's not because I don't care about winning or losing, on the contrary, for this game, I pay more attention than anyone else, I have to be nervous, I want to win, but I just don't think I should worry about anything, because I know that as long as I do my best, whether I win or lose, I have no regrets!"

For Yang Cheng, he really has no regrets about being able to fight with Dortmund and Heathfield at the peak of his strength, so why bother himself?

Tony looked at Yang Cheng and listened to his words, and suddenly clapped his hands with a smile, "Well said!" ”

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

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

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

From Tony's words, Yang Cheng even tasted a kind of disgust, and it could be seen that he seemed to hate Kaiserslautern.

But why did a restaurant run by such a team-hating man become the home base of Kaiserslautern players? What kind of story does this contain?

Seeing the color of Yang Cheng's inquiry, Tony shook his head, as if to say that he had nothing to say.

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

Tony nodded, pointing to the counter where he had just entered, and saw a small flag hanging in an inconspicuous corner in an inconspicuous corner where the wine was distributed, and the flag was embroidered with a zebra pattern, which was the Juventus team crest.

"Are you a Juventus fan?" Yang Cheng recognized it, which explains why the paint on the outside of the store is black and white, because black and white is the color of the Juventus emblem.

Tony nodded slightly smugly, "But the guys at Kaiserslautern said they don't like to see Juventus flags or souvenirs in my store, so I can only keep the only souvenir in my private space!" ”

Yang Cheng laughed out loud when he heard this.

Indeed, the flag was placed behind the counter, and if Tony Vecchino was standing there, no one could see it, and even if he wasn't there, it wouldn't be easy to see this inconspicuous corner unless someone specifically pointed him out.

"I've heard that you've been in this city for many years, so why haven't you fallen in love with this club?"

"What is there about him worthy of my love?" Tony asked with a smile

Yang Cheng was speechless for a moment, because he couldn't answer.

Falling in love with a team should come naturally, and if it's natural, how can you tell why?

But all those who can say the reason for love are often love for love's sake, as long as the reasons they love disappear from this team, then their love will also become weak, and finally even empathize with other loves.

Only those who can't say why, and who have always supported the team in obscurity, really love this team!

"There have been a lot of Kaiserslautern players who have jokingly told me after every change of manager that you will love this team in the future! But the manager changed one after another, the players changed one after another, but I still couldn't fall in love with this team, even I thought it was strange! Tony explained with a smile.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, "I guess after I take office, no player should tell you that you will fall in love with this team, right?" ”

Tony didn't hide it, "Not only that, but there are people who think I'm going to hate this team even more!" ”

Yang Cheng suddenly laughed.

"There was a guy who made a deal with me that if one day I really fell in love with the team, I would paint the wall outside red and dye the Kaiserslautern crest, and then he would come back to my shop!"

Speaking of this, Tony shrugged his shoulders with a helpless face, "But unfortunately, I haven't fallen in love with it until now, but the club will give me free tickets every season, just want me to go to the game and fall in love with this team, which should be regarded as the benefit I got because of that agreement!" ”

It was the first time Yang Cheng had heard of this kind of thing, and he also thought it was very interesting, "Who is that person?" ”

Tony Vecchino pointed to table 1 in the distance, and the answer was self-explanatory.

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

The Bern miracle, even countless years later, remains the greatest miracle in the history of football, and even one can be dismissed.

And Fritz Walter was the author of this miracle!

Yang Cheng finally vaguely guessed, maybe this is why this 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 pilgrimage mentality.

Unfortunately, over the years, Fritz Walter has disappeared from the stadium that bears his name, as well as from the Italian restaurant with which he gambled.

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

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