134 Poaching Yang Cheng [Continue to ask for a monthly pass]
In the VP box of the Lasonda Stadium, the Bayern giants are staring at the Kaiserslautern players celebrating on the field, and the podium is being built in a hurry, and UEFA President Johansson will come to the scene to present the award to Kaiserslautern in person.
Looking at the scene that was happening in front of them, and listening to the deafening shouts in the stadium, everyone felt incredible, not because of the outcome of this game, but because of Kaiserslautern's ability to get to where it is today.
Everyone knows how good Chelsea are, this team is not bad in the Premier League, but compared to Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga, it is not as good as that, so Kaiserslautern won reasonably.
But it's hard to believe the resilience of this team in this game, and the strength they have shown in the last two seasons, which is definitely a strength that only a top team can have!
As Bayern's Big Three, they are all veterans who have been engaged in football for many years, and it can be seen at a glance that the root cause of this team's strength lies in their head coach, who gives a team soul and strength, and it is the head coach who shapes the character and temperament of a team.
In other words, because Yang Cheng is strong and confident, Kaiserslautern is strong, even domineering!
Listening to the countless fans in the stadium chanting, sorrowful, and tidal waves, watching the players in the stadium celebrate the joy of victory with the head coach, and then recalling Bayern's loss this season, the Big Three can't help but feel full of regret.
Stimulated by Dortmund's Champions League victory last season, Bayern Munich is ambitious to win the Champions League this season, and the overall strength of the team is also very good, improving a lot, but in the end they all lost at critical moments, and in the league they fell behind Kaiserslautern step by step, and finally failed to reverse the championship.
Trapattoni's departure is inevitable, the question is who will replace the Italian?
How? How does it feel? Beckenbauer asked with a smile.
The football emperor wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was about to hold the frame when he smiled, but it was not difficult to see from his eyes that he admired Yang Cheng Although he was only a young man, he had already used enough facts to prove his strength and ability.
When he created a relegation miracle in Chemnitz, everyone said it was an accident, he was just a flash in the pan, but after he took over Kaiserslautern, he won the quadruple in his first season and led the team to promotion, which makes people believe that he is a quality manager.
However, in the second season of winning the championship as a promoted horse and becoming the defending European Cup Winners' Cup, Yang Cheng announced to the world with two heavy results that he can definitely become one of the best managers in the Bundesliga.
Although he still has a lot of shortcomings, whether it is a league or a cup, his results are excellent and comprehensive, and he is best at attacking football, which is very pleasing to the eye!" Hoeness affirms with a smile.
Seeing Hoeness's statement, Beckenbauer looked at Rummenigge.
"What I appreciate most is that his football philosophy and training are vividly combined in the current Kaiserslauten team, so I think that if you want to poach Yang Cheng, you must dig up his coaching team together, otherwise you will definitely have to go through a period of continuous transition and adaptation!"
Rummenigge has studied football theory and training, and has served as a senior football lecturer for FIFA and the German Football Association, so he appreciates this series of details more than others value Yang Cheng's ability and honor.
Maybe many people think that Yang Cheng's success is too fast and too sudden, but Rummenigge will not think that Yang Cheng has been working hard to improve the details of the team, including tongue training and technical tactics, and has been constantly pursuing improvement, so this team is constantly making progress.
"If we can't dig him up, next year's Kaiserslau will not only be our opponent in the Bundesliga, but also a hidden opponent in Europe!" Hoeness said worriedly.
Bayern's ambitions have long gone beyond the Bundesliga, and more attention is paid to the Champions League, especially after Dortmund won the Champions League, Bayern is even more ambitious to win the championship and suppress Dortmund's arrogance, so Hoeness naturally regards Kaiserslautern as Bayern's rival.
Kaiserslautern have not been perfect this season, and although the team has the strongest attacking ability in the Bundesliga and is among the best in defence in the Bundesliga, it is not without its flaws.
That is, the defense of this team is too young, inexperienced, and a little weak!
The reason why Bayern Munich was able to eliminate Kaiserslautern in the German Cup was because of a solid defense and sharp counterattacks.
I believe that Yang Cheng has also seen this flaw, as long as he is given a little time to improve, it is hard to imagine how strong Kaiserslautern will be next season.
After hearing this, Rummenigge couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "His vision is also very sharp, and he almost never makes a mistake when buying people!" ”
Hoeness and Beckenbauer looked at each other, smiled wryly and thought to themselves, "almost" is not needed, it is never wrong!
Take a look at the batch of players introduced by Yang Cheng, which one has not skyrocketed in value dozens of times, or even a hundred times?
Bringing in Ruud van Nistelrooy for tens of thousands of dollars, the Dutch striker is now a well-known goalscorer in Europe, and is likely to win the European Golden Boot this season, and he is young and worth at least $15 million, a hundredfold increase.
In addition, like Nedved, who he introduced at the beginning, is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and now it is at least worth at least the United States dollar, and the reason why his value lags behind Vanney is more because the midfielder is not as good as the striker.
Similarly, there is Veron, the core of the organization is currently worth at least $15 million, which is double the amount when he was introduced, and Deco and Lucio, who were introduced without spending a penny, are now worth millions of dollars.
I usually didn't pay attention to it, but now after careful calculation, the three of Beckenbauer couldn't help but be surprised, they finally understood why Kaiserslaus was able to end the financial crisis in a short period of time, and at the same time as the team's performance soared, the club also turned a loss, the key is Yang Cheng!
Thinking of this, Beckenbauer looked at Hoeness with a wry smile, "As you said, there are many deficiencies, but there are also some outstanding shining points, and they are very comprehensive, so I decided to poach Yang Cheng with all my might!" ”
Both Hoeness and Rummenigge kept nodding.
This is also the strategy that Bayern has always pursued, if you can't press down Yang Cheng and Kaiserslao's knees, then poaching, strengthening yourself and weakening the opponent.
"Then I'll find a chance to talk to him!" Beckenbauer had a good relationship with Yang Cheng, which was well known, so he offered to contact Yang Cheng privately.
The chairman has spoken, and Hoeness and Rummenigge have no opinion, and the matter is even so decided.
Yang Cheng didn't know that in the box above his head, there were three men who were planning to poach him, and he didn't know that in the stands and boxes of Lasonda Stadium, there were also many senior executives and agents of other clubs who were paying close attention to him, ready to poach and test him.
Now he is immersed in the joy of the team's defending Cup Winners' Cup!
There is no doubt that this season's Cup Winners' Cup has a weak impact, but in the end, it is the king of European cups, and it has never been defended, and Kaiserslautern is defended and can definitely cause an uproar in European and world football.
On the podium, when UEFA President Johansson congratulated Yang Cheng on becoming the only defender of the Cup Winners' Cup, Yang Cheng responded politely, but said that the process of the game was regrettable.
Johansson had an official smile on his face, but his tone was very stern, saying that it was imperative to crack down on violence on the pitch, and UEFA would definitely deal with this well in a fair manner.
Yang Cheng knew in his heart that Gattuso must be punished for beating people, and he never thought of letting Gattuso escape, but just thought that even if he died, he would have to pull a cushion.
Besides, he doesn't really approve of Gattuso's impulse to beat people, but he supports Gattuso's momentum, because in his opinion, players must have such momentum in order to be able to swallow their opponents!
After getting Johansson's affirmation, Yang Cheng gave UEFA enough face at the post-match press conference, and it was also very official to answer reporters' questions, and he didn't want to bombard UEFA at all, because there was no need.
However, the next day was a long report in the major European media about Kaiserslautern's title defence and the various clashes that took place during the game, which were not only attributed to the weakness of the referee, but also criticized the rough behaviour of the Chelsea players.
"We can tolerate blood, we can tolerate tenacity, we can tolerate bravery, but we absolutely cannot tolerate some players who use blood, tenacity and bravery as a shield, but behind them are doing bloody violence that hurts their opponents!"
Gran, Nack in the Kaiserslautern Free Press, the next day, Yang Cheng's heart, but also received the support of countless German newspaper peers, vying to reprint, which also made Gran and Nack in the media field also rise with the tide.
Yang Cheng didn't pay too much attention to all this, he left it to the club to deal with, as early as after the game, Melzer had collected a series of relevant information and sent it to UEFA, appealing and complaining about a series of conflicts in the game.
Yang Cheng led the group to rest in Stockholm for a night, and then took the train back to Kaiserslautern early the next morning.
After several turnarounds, when the team arrived at the Kaiserslau Crisp train station, the scene had already gathered to greet the fans, who pulled up banners, chanted Yang Cheng and the names of the players, and the atmosphere at the whole train station was very warm.
Yang Cheng bore the brunt of the fans' reverence for him, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Isn't it the proudest thing for any manager to be able to bring the joy of victory?
The tour around the city and the celebration of the championship were very enthusiastic under the arrangement of the club, and although the fans had just experienced the joy of winning the league, the surprise of the double really made them even more excited, and they almost went crazy with joy.
Like Kaiserslautern fans, the German media treated Kaiserslautern's title defence with a high profile, and even for several days in a row, they rushed to cover the incident.
This season's three major European cups, the League Cup final has long ended, Inter Milan. The victory over Lazio, this is an Italian civil war, and it has nothing to do with the Bundesliga.
The Champions Cup final is between Real Madrid and Juventus, a contest between La Liga and Serie A, and it has nothing to do with the Bundesliga, so it is not much taken seriously by the German media.
The only exception was the Cup Winners' Cup, which was the only one without the participation of a Serie A team, so the German media gave a high-profile treatment and celebrated Kaiserslautern's title defense at length, as if Kaiserslautern had won not the Cup Winners' Cup, but the European Cup.
No, so much so that Dortmund won the Champions League last season, they didn't cry or get excited.
It may seem difficult to understand, but it's actually not hard to guess.
Today's Serie A is known as the mini-World Cup, which is the most influential professional league in football today, and the Bundesliga ranks second, but the Bundesliga team has always had the ambition to catch up, especially after Dortmund won the championship last season, the German media is generally optimistic, shouting the slogan of continuing to keep the Champions League in Germany this season.
The German team's record in the Champions League this season is also very outstanding, with the top 8 Bundesliga teams occupying 3, namely Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, only Juventus in Serie A, Real Madrid in La Liga, the Premier League is the old powerhouse Manchester United, the first is Monaco, and the remaining one is Dynamo Kiev led by Shevchenko.
It can be said that as soon as the top 8 were released, the Bundesliga was immediately generally optimistic, and the German media began to hype up the strength of the Bundesliga team, hoping to continue to overpower Serie A.
But unexpectedly, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen stopped in the top 8, and Dortmund stepped on the shoulders of Bayern Munich and reached the top 4, but lost to Real Madrid 0:2 on aggregate and missed the final.
Coupled with the rout in the League Cup, the German media generally felt ashamed, but at this time, there was a defending winners' Cup Kaiserslautern, which suddenly made the entire German media seem to have found a fig leaf, and immediately regarded Kaiserslautern as a signboard of the Bundesliga and hyped it up.
After all, as the Bundesliga champion, Kaiserslautern can't blow it too much, can it?
Unlike the German media hype, Yang Cheng seems very calm and rational about this, and is not carried away by the team's successive victories, he hopes to continue to strengthen the team's strength and further improve the team's combat effectiveness.
Wernermeltzer did not get carried away under Yang Cheng's awakening, but immediately contacted and negotiated with Thomas and Link three days after the team defended the winners' cup, and solemnly proposed that he want to join Kaiserslau, for which Yang Cheng also personally called Thomas Spider Link and invited him to join the team.
Of course, Yang Cheng also left a future and will not pin all his hopes on Toma Pepperlink, because the Schalke 04 main central defender is also currently on the radar of other teams, such as Bayern Munich, Dortmund and other teams want to get him, and Kaiserslaus Knee faces strong competition.
In this case, Yang Cheng and Melzer reached a consensus, if Thomas and Link are not introduced, the club will pay a transfer fee of 15 million to bring in Sashyypia from Willem II who performed well in the Eredivisie last season.
The Finn immediately replaced Stamm as the heart of Willem II's defence, and he performed well, and as soon as Yang Cheng wanted to strengthen the backline, the club kept his eyes on him, but he never did it, because Hyypia lacked the experience he wanted in the top league, and he had to fight with Willem II for a while.
And then there's Desailly.
If it is from the perspective of popularity, the introduction of Desaili is definitely worth it, because with the country winning the World Cup, Desailly can help Kaiserslautern further boost his prestige, but first, the value of the Chinese Qu Wan or so does not meet the current transfer strategy of Yang Cheng, because Kaiserslautern does not have so much money to introduce this player.
Secondly, Desailly played in the back when he joined Milan, but his skills were rough, and then he changed to play central defender and stood firm, but the results of Milan in recent years have been very bad, and he has failed to reach the league for two consecutive seasons, and many people regard Desailly as the crux of the club's poor results.
It is reported that at present, Milan intends to sweep Desailly out of the house, and at the same time invite Yang Cheng of Kaiserslautern to join the San Siro, but these two things have not been affirmed by the parties, and Yang Cheng has not received a relevant invitation and will not comment.
However, whether it was in Milan or later at Chelsea, Desailly showed far less strength than the national team, and even Chelsea chairman Bates suspected that Desailly would not be able to work at Stamford Bridge and save his energy to play for the national team.
In this case, Yang Cheng blocked the possibility of Desailly moving to Kaiserslautern, and he specified a transfer strategy for Melzer, the first choice is the cheap free transferee Toma Spider Link, and the second choice is Willem II's main central defender Hyypia.
The reason why Yang Cheng values Link is mainly because he has the stability and experience that Kaiserslautern lacks in the backline, and Link's positional sense, psychological quality, and defensive awareness are outstanding among the central defenders in the Bundesliga, with a balanced left and right feet, and a very high steal rate, which is the best in the Bundesliga.
In addition, his contract with Schalke has expired, but the player who helped Schalke win the League Cup last season has always hoped that Schalkega can continue to improve, but this season's Schalkega obviously does not meet his requirements, so it is clear that he wants to change jobs.
Frankly speaking, Yang Cheng also knows that the possibility of Kaiserslautern digging up Thomas, Link is not very likely, after all, the latter is not small, but he still wants to fight for it, it is best to poach Link, hit Bayern, and also strengthen Kaiserslautern's lineup.
But what Yang Cheng didn't expect was that Toma Yilinker hadn't dug it yet, but Bayern's poaching operation had already arrived first!
