127 I want a victory! [Fourth shift, ask for a monthly pass]
In the 52nd minute, Deisler used speed and technology on the right side to force past Heintze, and passed a low flat ball in front of the bottom line, which went directly to the near post, and Larsson inserted it in the back row, although he was smaller, but he used his position wisely to head the goal before Novotny and expand the score to 2:0!
In the 66th minute, it was Deisler who moved the ball to the middle with a flexible dribble on the right side, attracting LaMelo out of the defensive position, but flexibly passed to the middle, Nedved took the ball and pushed it, straight behind Se Warnes, Vanney flexibly stepped forward and pushed the goal directly, rewriting the score to 3:0!
Kaiserslautern was in complete control of the game after a succession of goals, while Deisler put in a brilliant game, with two other goals in addition to an assist, and even a direct free-kick that went just over and unfortunately couldn't get on the scoresheet. \\
Seeing the team collapse, Daum immediately made adjustments and had to strengthen the defense to avoid a big defeat, after all, he still has to keep the team's Champions League qualification, and if there is a big rout in this game, it is difficult to guarantee that the next schedule will not be affected.
But for Yang Cheng and his Kaiserslautern, Daum was helpless.
His defensive set-up in the first half was brilliant, but in the second half, especially when Deisler replaced Schneider, although it was the opposite substitution, it was two very different players.
The former is good at passing and organizing, and Yang Cheng uses him to make up for Deco's lack of organization, after all, there is still a big gap between Deco and Beron; But Deisler was an excellent wide attacker, with excellent speed and technique, as well as a superb passing and crossing that was more than enough for a Heinterzer.
And after the kid Deisler showed his state and self-confidence, he almost turned Heinterze into a sieve.
The right side is active, Leverkusen's defensive pressure is diluted, and then Denilson's left side is also active, both wings are active, Kaiserslautern's entire offensive matrix is running, Leverkusen can't defend if he wants to!
It can be said that Daum lost this game and had nothing to say!
Yang Cheng is secretly proud of his team lineup, this set of lineup is personally selected by him, almost every position has some different types of players, such as Deisler and Schneider, Frings and Gattuso, Veron and Deco, etc., are all different types of players.
The more such a combination of lineups, the more it can bring changes to the manager's line-up and surprises.
If your squad is always a combination of those 11 types of players, it will be easier for others to defend.
It's like in this game, when Daum made substitutions to freeze Kaiserslautern's attack again, the score had become 3:0, and Kaiserslautern had already won this game in advance!

"Good news, super good news!"
In the dressing room after the game, the club's staff rushed in with excitement on their faces.
"The latest news from Munich, the league game that started at the same time, Bayern Munich drew 1-1 at home to Karlsruhe, the game is over, we are nine points ahead of Bayern!"
With the words of the staff, the whole dressing room was completely boiling, and all the players immediately hugged each other, excitedly celebrating Bayern's draw at this critical moment.
With 6 rounds left in the league, the 9-point gap has almost pronounced a death sentence for Bayern Munich!
When Yang Cheng heard the news, his whole person was Spartan, and it took nearly a minute before he was overwhelmed by a surging joy, and the whole person was immersed in joy.
But this euphoria did not last long, for he still had a vestige of sanity.
"Guys!" Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously, making all the players calm down, and the locker room immediately became silent.
"Bayern is flat, it's a good thing! A 9-point lead is also a good thing! But we shouldn't be satisfied, we shouldn't stop there, because the league is not over yet, there are still 6 rounds of league to play, as long as one of us is not careful, we may be eaten by Bayern at any time, I don't want this kind of thing to happen with a kick to drop the chain, I believe you don't want to fall from heaven to hell! ”
Yang Cheng's words calmed everyone present, yes, it's only 9 points, there are still 6 rounds in the league, who loses and who wins is still unknown, it's too early to celebrate and rejoice.
"Remember what I said, we want to win game by game, we want to win every game, we want to make history, we want to create miracles, we want to win championships!"
"We want a championship! We want a championship! The players shouted in unison.
In the subsequent press conference, Yang Cheng objected to the general optimism in the media, arguing that it was too early to say that Kaiserslautern had won the title early with six rounds of the league remaining.
"Bayern are a bloody team, I'm sure they won't give up, and so are we, we will try to win every game and keep the advantage until the end!" Yang Chengxin said with a heart.
The reason why Yang Cheng did not dare to shout out early to win the championship early was that Kaiserslautern still had to participate in the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup in midweek.
This time Kaiserslautern's opponent is Lokomotiv Moscow from the Russian League.
When Yang Cheng faced Lokomotiv Moscow in the first leg, he arranged for Veron and Ballack to be combined, supplemented by Salihamidzic, Frings and Schneider in midfield, and Klose and Larsson in front.
Such an attack-oriented lineup was a guest in the Russian league, and with Ballack's goal, they won a crucial away victory in a difficult 1-0 away win over Lokomotiv Moscow.
Three days later, the team travelled to Duisburg.
After 90 minutes of bloody battle, Kaiserslautern won the match with a 1-2 away win over Duisburg.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, continued the pressure on Kaiserslautern with a 3-0 win at Werder Bremen, while Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach and exited the title race early.
In this case, the league title can almost be said to have fallen into the hands of Kaiserslautern ahead of schedule, while Bayern Munich still has hope and does not want to give up.
A week later, Kaiserslautern hosted Borussia Dortmund.
The defending Champions League champions, who currently sit 11th in the league, will be eager to beat Kaiserslautern, but Scala will have to play counter-attacking tactics after learning the lessons of the UEFA Super Cup.
I have to admit that Scala is still very much at the level of a Serie A coach in defense, although Kaiserslautern forced Dortmund to be very embarrassed, but he was unable to break through Dortmund's defense, and finally could only regret a 0:0 draw at home by Dortmund.
Bayern Munich won the local derby 3-1 at home to Munich 1860 and close the gap on points with Kaiserslautern.
Yang Cheng knew that the players had done their best, and it was more focused on solving, which made the team win a clean 4-1 victory at home against Lokomotiv Moscow in midweek, and qualified from the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 5-1 to reach the final.
Kaiserslautern's Cup Winners' Cup final opponent is Chelsea from the English Premier League!
The European Cup Winners' Cup final will take place on 13 May at the Lasonda Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden.
It will undoubtedly be an exciting match, especially as Kaiserslautern is the seventh team in the history of the Cup Winners' Cup to reach the final the following year as the defending champions, and the first six teams have all failed to defend their titles, and if Kaiserslautern can successfully defend their title, it will undoubtedly create another football legend.
…………
…………
Yang Cheng doesn't care about the Cup Winners' Cup final, which is still far away, and he is more concerned about the Bundesliga game after game.
After playing in the Cup Winners' Cup, Kaiserslautern travels to Rostock.
Due to Kaiserslautern's participation in the Cup Winners' Cup, they are one day behind Bayern in the schedule, and Bayern gritted their teeth and defeated Bielefeld 2-0 away from home, and Middendorp, the former Bundesliga coach who was in the limelight, was dismissed early.
As a result, the pressure to win the title was all on Kaiserslautern.
Yang Cheng frequently called on the players to reduce pressure and relax before the game, but in the game, the players still had a lot of psychological pressure, especially in the face of Rostock, which was aiming to rush into the European arena.
In the end, Kaiserslautern drew 1-1 away at Rostock, dropping two points again.
After the 31st round of the league, Kaiserslautern drew twice in a row at key moments to narrow the team's lead to five points, and with three rounds of the league remaining, it looks as if Kaiserslautern is in a very bad situation.
"It's not easy for this young Kaiserslautern team to survive until now, but their mistakes in the final sprint of the league have exposed their shortcomings once again, and that is their youth and their ability to withstand pressure at critical moments."
Kicker Magazine also commented on this round of the league and lamented Kaiserslautern's consecutive draws at key moments.
'Both the manager and the team are young and lack the experience to reach the top of the Bundesliga, especially in the final moments, when almost every game decides the league title, but this team is showing signs of weakness.
"In the 32nd round of the league, it will be a crucial round of games, Kaiserslautern hosts the relegation team Borussia Mönchengladbach led by Tiger Effenberg, and Bayern hosts Bayer Leverkusen, both of which are games that must be won and will also determine the title of the season!"
Borussia Mönchengladbach have been the toughest team of late, starting with a home win over Bielefeld in the 28th round, a draw away to Bayer Leverkusen, a home win over Duisburg and an upset at Borussia Dortmund, showing the team's unrivalled resilience in every game, especially Eeffenberg's performance.
It can be said that the match against Kaiserslautern is the key to the relegation battle for Borussia Mönchengladbach, so Borussia Mönchengladbach will definitely fight hard in this game, and Kaiserslautern is aiming to win the championship, and this game cannot be lost.
Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are also not to be missed, with the former looking to challenge for the title and the latter looking to further cement their Champions League qualification in the league, so both teams will be sure to fight to the death.
Almost at the moment of life and death, no one wants to lose such a crucial game, everyone wants to fight hard!
…………
…………
On the afternoon of April 25th, the Fritz of Kaiserslautern? Walter Stadium
In the 73rd minute, Effenberg cut in from the back and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box.
Reynke made a save, and judged the right direction, but the shot came so suddenly and so heavy that he couldn't touch the ball at all, and could only watch as Effingberg's goal pierced Kaiserslautern's goal.
The referee undoubtedly blew the whistle for the goal, and Effenberg celebrated his goal, which would be a golden goal if the team succeeds in relegation this season, worth a thousand dollars!
Before Effenberg scored, Yang Cheng had already reminded the players that they must be careful and careful, this tiger is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he can drive the momentum of the whole team at critical moments.
But in the end, I still lost!
Yang Cheng had an urge to catch all the players and spank them at this time, he seemed to be a son who repeatedly reminded his son, saying that he couldn't touch boiling water, he couldn't touch boiling water, boiling water was very hot, but these bastards didn't believe in evil, so they insisted on stepping on the minefield, touched the boiling water, and got burned on their hands.
"Tell me, Paul, are these balls to be beaten?" Yang Cheng was so angry that he almost went crazy!
Paul? Bayer responded with a wry smile, he knew that Yang Cheng had reminded the players thousands of times to be careful of the front of the penalty area, beware of Effenberg, but they still made mistakes.
The scoreboard of the big red changed the latest score, Borussia Mönchengladbach's score jumped from the original 1 to 2, while the score of Kaiserslautern remained at 2, and the two sides returned to a draw.
Kaiserslautern got off to a near-perfect start with a goal in the eighth minute of the first half, but in the 39th minute, a plot by Effenberg led to an equaliser from Borussia Mönchengladbach and the two teams went into the break with a 1-1 draw.
At halftime, Yang Cheng did not scold the players' performance at all, but repeatedly reminded the players that they must be careful of Effenberg and Borussia Mönchengladbach's defensive counterattacks.
At the beginning of the second half, Kaiserslautern once again took the initiative, and Ballack's key goal once again exceeded the score, which once made Kaiserslautern see the dawn of victory, and almost the entire second half, Kaiserslautern controlled the direction of the game and launched an attack on Borussia Mönchengladbach.
But it was this team with a stormy backline, in the second half of a counterattack that seemed to have little chance of success, Effenberg's sudden forward and a long-range shot from outside the penalty area equalized the score again, 2:2!
After the goal, Effenberg looked up to the sky and roared, and his hideous face made people feel agitated!
The game restarted and Kaiserslautern looked a little demoralized, especially after two leads were levelled twice, and they were both starting to suffer a bit from each other.
"They've been under a lot of pressure for some time, pressure from Bayern!" Paul? Bayer sighed.
Yang Cheng knew very well in his heart that two consecutive draws were the key, and the lead was shortened from 9 points to 5 points all of a sudden, which really made the players feel flustered and at a loss, plus most of them lacked enough Bundesliga experience, and Yang Cheng himself was the same, so they were affected by the league situation at critical moments.
There is no doubt that the strength of this team is extraordinary, but no matter how good the strength is, no matter how good the players, once there are psychological fluctuations, nothing can be played, and everything will be greatly reduced.
Yang Cheng looked at the court, his heart was very unwilling, because it was not easy for him to persist until now, and it was not easy to get today's achievements, do you really want to watch the championship fall?
Did he really have to throw away the low-hanging fruit at the last minute?
Time passed minute by minute, but the scene was still deadlocked, Borussia Mönchengladbach was still steadily defending Kaiserslautern's offensive, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Larsson were still difficult to find gaps and opportunities in the opponent's layers of defense, and it was difficult for Ballack, Denilson, Deisler and others to plug in the back row.
Today's Borussia Mönchengladbach is like a shrinking bucket, using players to wrap their own boxes and goals tightly, leaving no gaps and not giving Kaiserslautern any chance.
Yang Cheng looked at the time and looked behind him, "Hassan, warm up!" ”
Salihamidzic had been waiting for a long time, and immediately jumped up from the bench when he heard the order.
"I'm ready, Chief!" Salihamidzic was a little excited that Yang Cheng could think of him at this time.
He has been doing well this season with Kaiserslautern, but he has been marginalised in his place in Kaiserslautern compared to the heart of the team he had in Hamburg, but that is due to the team's presence of a number of outstanding stars.
And since joining Kaiserslautern, Salihamidzic's progress has been obvious, especially in running, passing and receiving and passing skills, and he has been sculpted and coached by the likes of Moniz and Mulensteen.
"Go up and play on the left, let Denilson play shadow striker, be active in the front of the penalty area, let Deisler, Veron, Ballack all press forward, I want a win!" Yang Cheng shouted almost through gritted teeth.
Salihamidzic heard the manager's resoluteness and immediately nodded in agreement.
Not long after, in the case of a dead ball, Salihamidzic replaced Gattuso, a defender.
Kaiserslautern on the field is now almost all pressing Borussia Mönchengladbach, and the entire backline has even entered the Borussia Mönchengladbach half, leaving Kyle near the center circle, Lucio and Kifu are more like two full-backs to use, actively involved in the team's attack.
After Salihamidzic came on the field, he immediately said Yang Cheng's thoughts, and the players immediately looked over.
"I want a victory!" Yang Cheng pointed at himself on the sidelines, constantly angrily making gestures for the players to continue to attack, in order to show his determination not to win this game and never give up.
