68 There is an old man in the family who has a treasure (II)
Bremer looked at Yang Cheng dumbfounded, he really didn't know that this young coach had such great ambitions hidden in his heart, and he actually said that he wanted to lead a German second division team to Europe?
"Maybe you're doubting my words, but please open your eyes and see clearly, Andres, we are currently in the last eight of the European Cup Winners' Cup, I am confident that we will beat Liverpool and reach the last four, maybe we can aim higher; We reached the last four of the German Cup, against Hamburg, we played at home, we have won all at home so far this season, I'm not afraid of Hamburg, so my goal is to win the title! ”
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng stood up and stretched out his hands vigorously, like an eagle spreading its wings, "Look at the facts in front of you clearly, Andres, we have a chance to win the Cup Winners' Cup this season, and we have a chance to continue to participate in the Cup Winners' Cup next season, are you just satisfied with rushing to the armor?" Are you just content with the Bundesliga? ”
Bremer was completely shocked by Yang Cheng's words, so much so that he had to admit that Kaiserslautern's current trend is indeed very amazing, especially the results on all three fronts.
And all this comes from the young head coach in front of him, who is simply synonymous with the incredible.
"I trust you, Andres, so I'm not afraid to be honest with you, I value the internal unity of the team very much, but I can't think of anyone other than you who can give me peace of mind to hand over the locker room to him, not even Lutz, Kosch and others!"
Bremer also knows the two teammates well, he naturally knows that his teammates are very strong on the field, but in terms of dominance, they are inevitably selfish, if they are allowed to be the leader of the team, it will inevitably affect the internal unity of the team, they simply cannot do everything.
The current situation of the team is old and small, and there is no centrist, so Yang Cheng attaches so much importance to Bremer.
Seeing Bremmer's thoughtful look, Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "Andres, the board of directors handed it over to me and said, you stay and continue to help me, even if you can't play, you can help me manage the locker room, and I can apply for you to be a player and coach and become a member of the coaching staff, and you can accumulate some experience by the way." ”
Faced with a series of almost difficult to refuse, Mr. Bremer did not refuse, saying that he could accept a partial reduction in his salary, but he could not accept the board's request if it was too outrageous.
"Leave it to me!" Yang Chengxin patted his chest with a heartfelt heart.

After meeting Bremer, Yang Cheng went directly to the office of the stadium and found Frederick.
When today's chairman Kaiserslautern sees Yang Cheng, his face is always smiling, he can't close his mouth, and his small eyes are almost glued together, because Yang Cheng has now become a well-known young coach in German football, and he is the Bole who excavated Yang Cheng, and his reputation and status in the circle have also risen, and his influence in Kaiserslautern is greater than before.
When Yang Cheng saw Frederick, he immediately said everything he had just said to Bremer, and then analyzed the current situation of the team, and clearly expressed the importance of retaining veterans such as Bremer and Kadlec.
"Yang Cheng, although their veterans are experienced, I think the current team's Lucio, Kyle and others can fully fill their vacancies, and like Andres, he has the highest salary in the club, I am worried that other players will not be convinced, and when the time comes, it will destroy the harmony within the club."
Yang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, the old guys on the board of directors were all worried about money, but they all said it righteously.
"Don't worry, Mr. Frederick, it's okay to reduce the salary a little, I can guarantee that the players will not have an opinion, but I will never allow the termination of the contract with the old players, because each of them is a very important part of my plan, without them, we would not be able to get to where we are today!"
These board members just saw that Lucio, Kyle and others performed well in the Bundesliga, so they naturally felt that they could replace Bremer and others, but could they actually do it?
Whether it is experience or consciousness, they are still very immature, Yang Cheng doesn't think they can replace them now, at least not this season!
Seeing that Yang Cheng's attitude was also very tough, Frederick didn't want to make too much trouble, and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you talk to the people on the board of directors again, but leaving these veterans, salary cuts are inevitable!" ”
Yang Cheng nodded in agreement.
"Oh, by the way, Pavel Kuka's agent conveyed the player's opinion to the club yesterday, hoping to get more game time, you better talk to the player, I heard that his agent is actively contacting the team and may want to transfer!"
Marshall's resurgence in form this season, the new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy has been heavily used and nurtured by Yang Cheng, and the team's consistent results have reduced Pavel Kuka's playing time this season, which has made the Czech star unhappy.
But Yang Cheng has no choice, Marshall is in popular form, Vanney is the future striker that Yang Cheng sees, and there is a Klose in the academy who must be given appropriate playing time to exercise, where can Yang Cheng take care of the former team's scoring champion.
"I'll take care of the team's affairs, don't worry."
Frederick also agreed with a look of trust, "That about the new contract......
"Let's talk about it when the season is over, all my thoughts are on the game and training now, and our next opponents will not be easy to deal with!" Yang Cheng pretended to interrupt Frederick's words with a wry smile.
Mr. Chairman also had a helpless expression, he had tried to finalize the coaching contract with Yang Cheng for next season several times, but Yang Cheng always pushed it off for various reasons, and almost every reason was very reasonable.
"Well, then I'll leave it all to you!" Frederick couldn't do anything about him.
Today's Yang Cheng is no longer the guy who was chosen more than half a year ago, now he is a well-known young coach in German football, and a technical consultant hired by the German Football Association.
Frederick knows in his heart that even if Yang Cheng and Kaiserslautern have contracts now, there are still many Bundesliga teams that have thrown olive branches to Yang Cheng, and if Yang Cheng really decides not to renew the contract after the season, then Frederick can only watch him leave.
Of course, Yang Cheng also hinted that he would not choose to leave Kaiserslautern easily, because he spent a lot of effort on this team, and the key is that he is evaluating the style of the board of directors, after all, the members of the board of directors have not had a good reputation within the team and in the fan base before.

During the winter break, Yang Cheng did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup, he felt that the players had gone through half a season of running-in, and the team's formation run-in had reached 67 points.
Moreover, there are no major flaws in the team at the moment, with the rise of Denilson and Deisler, the main players on the wing are also fixed, and the renewal of the back line is going on one after another, so there is no need for reinforcements during the winter break.
But even so, Yang Cheng still promoted two young players from the academy.
One is Thomas Riddle, a 21-year-old outstanding homegrown midfielder, not tall, only 1.74m, but very ruthless and decisive in defense, excellent running ability, strong positional sense, a Gattuso-style midfielder, and this left-footed player can also play on the left side, is a versatile player.
Thomas Riddle has been in the first half of the season in the first team and youth team, and has also played for the first team, Yang Cheng decided to let him play with the first team in the second half of the season, because he wants to officially identify Riddle as a replacement for Gattuso, and the academy youngster has also reached 137 with a potential of 165, which is worth reusing.
The other is a black player with Nigerian and German nationality Pascal Ojigwe, a very fast left-footed player, the technique is very average, but the crossing ability is good, there is a long shot, the defense is also good, and can play the back waist, left side and other positions, Yang Cheng plans to promote him to the first team to exercise, after all, this player has the strength of 127 and the potential of 160.
With the promotion of two youth players, Kaiserslautern's first team total reaches 25, and if you add the third goalkeeper who has been in the youth team all year round, Kaiserslautern's first team has reached 26.
However, the number of people is large, and in fact, it is only the depth of the team's bench that has been improved, after all, Ojigerway and Riddle simply do not have the strength to challenge Denelson and Gattuso.
But over the course of a long season, bench depth often determines how high a team can ultimately reach.
