There are competitions in the afternoon, and there is no training scheduled in the morning.

But I don't know if it's a habit or what, Yang Cheng still came to the Tilingen training court early every day, and then walked around the narrow training court before finally returning to his office.

As soon as I sat down, the phone in my pocket vibrate.

"Haha, Torson, hello.xzsj8.ah!" Yang Cheng was naturally slow about phone numbers, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he couldn't remember the phone number, and could only record it in the form of a phone book in his mobile phone, so he knew it was Torson Qiao as soon as he looked at the caller ID.

The former East German No. 1 striker who now plays for Dresden, but unfortunately, although Dresden has the sharp weapon of Ju Joe, the strength of the whole break has declined sharply, coupled with the previous financial problems of the club, the team has not been promoted in the end, and it has sunk into the third division.

"Chief, how are you doing?" Ju Qiao asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng received a call from Ju Qiao early in the morning, and he was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "It would be better if I could see you!" “

"Don't tease me, boss!" Ju Qiao really looked a lot more cheerful, and after a pause, he got to the point, "I called you today to ask you something, boss!" “

"About the training base?" Yang Cheng knows it.

Ju Qiao smiled, "Sure enough, it's you, boss, I knew it must be you!" He sounded excited.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture!" Yang Cheng said politely.

In addition to winning a training base in the southwest region for Kaiserslautern, he also proposed that for some larger regions, there should be one more training base, such as in the northeast region, in addition to one training base in Berlin, he proposed to set up a training base in East Germany, and the same is true for the southern region, in addition to one in Rankfurt, Munich also set up a training base.

In addition, Yang Cheng also proposed to support football in East Germany, such as allocating more funds to support the development of youth training by clubs in these regions, etc., which are all suggestions he put forward within his own ability, and are also very in line with the current German environment.

The whole of Germany is supporting the economy of the East German region, so Yang Cheng's suggestions are basically agreed by the German Football Association.

"Boss, it's not a trivial matter, with this training base and a lot of money every year for youth training, this is definitely a great benefit for football in East Germany." Ju Qiao said with anticipation.

Yang Cheng shook his head, "Torson, I think I should remind you, or pour a basin of cold water on you!" “

Ju Qiao was stunned, but the one he respected most was Yang Cheng, although this Chinese was so much younger than him, he was surprisingly happy and sincere to him, "You say, head 1"

"Don't talk about East Germany and West Germany, today's Germany is a unified federation, the former East Germany has passed with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and now Dresden, Leipzig, Kaihonitz and other regions are cities in the German federal state of Saxony, and they are part of the whole of Germany."

"I want to remind you, Thorson, that football in the eastern region wants to develop not only youth training, not only the economy, but also the mind, only when you open your arms to accept the advanced football knowledge of the west and the whole world to digest it, then you can really promote the development of football in the east."

Yang Cheng's words were very sincere advice, because he had worked in the German Football Association, and naturally he also learned that the German football authority looked at the East Germany region, which was a nail household that everyone felt a headache for, the fire could not be burned, the water could not be splashed, and the stubbornness was hateful.

The German Football Association has not been without thinking about supporting the development of football in East Germany, but it has not been implemented because of the xenophobia in East Germany and because of financial problems.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity of youth training reform, the German Football Association hopes to pull East German football, but the effect depends on how the people in East Germany cooperate.

"I understand, sir, you've mentioned this to me before, and I've always kept it in mind, so this time, I've decided that if I really want to build a training base in Saxony and promote the youth reform plan, I'm going to retire early, and I want to be able to work in this institution."

"You've decided?" Yang Cheng was a little surprised, but felt normal.

All the time, Torson Joe wants to be able to use his own strength to help his hometown, not only him, but if the plan is realized, believe Tim, Hank, Paul. The two of them will definitely want to give back to their hometown.

"Hmm!" Ju Qiao replied very firmly.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Okay, I'll help you mention it, it shouldn't be a big problem!" “

Ju Qiao has a lot of influence in the East German region, if he participates in this youth training program and is responsible for the youth training reform in Saxony, he must be more than half a day than outsiders, and Ju Qiao can accept Yang Cheng, at least it proves that he can accept the new football culture outside, so he is a very suitable person.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of another possibility, whether it is possible to invite as many well-known former East German players as possible to join this project, so that they can contribute to East German football?

"Boss........." Ju Qiao on the other side of the phone didn't know why, and suddenly his voice became a little choked.

"Huh?" Yang Cheng also felt strange.

There was silence for a few seconds, and then Ju Qiao suddenly laughed, "It's nothing, it's just,......" Thank you very much, Chief! “

Yang Cheng's nose suddenly soured, "Don't be stupid, I'm just saying a few words!" “

He is really infatuated with and likes the simple feelings of some people in the East German region, from their bodies, Yang Cheng cannot see the kind of personality in the outside world that is corrupted by capital and money, from them, Yang Cheng sees the glorious side of human nature.

Every time he sees Jucho, Tim, Hank and others, he thinks of his hometown and the people in his hometown.

hung up Ju Qiao's phone, and Yang Cheng made several calls in succession.

One of them is to call Bird Longschott, who focuses on youth training reform, and he and Beckenbauer are both deputy leaders of the youth reform plan team, "But he is obviously not as good as the football emperor, and he has the same title, but he is half dead of hard work, and now even Yang Cheng has to call him."

However, when he heard that Thorson sang Qiao was interested in joining the youth training team, he immediately welcomed it, and when Yang Cheng put forward his previous idea, he also felt that the feasibility was very high.

"Short" asked him to contact Jucho himself, intending to start with Jucho and call on more East German stars to join the project and contribute to the development of East German football.

After finishing this matter, Yang Chengcai breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now he goes to the University of Leipzig once a month, but he is basically in a hurry and has no time to go anywhere else to have a good look", so he decided that he would definitely go back to see his old friends when he had the chance.

Just when Yang Cheng was expectantly recalling everything in East Germany, there was a knock on the office door.

It was Tors's neck Frings who came in!

"Hey, Tolsten!" Yang Cheng was a little surprised, but he had been waiting for Frings to take the initiative to find him.

In fact, this kid with a very stubborn and tough personality came later than Yang Cheng expected!

I thought that a month should be enough to get this kid out, "Who knew that he would drag on for a month and a half to come."

"Hello.xzsj8., boss!" Frings's last title was a bit stiff.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, motioned for him to sit down at his desk, and then pretended to be busy, "Is there anything going on?" ”

Frings was more upright, and really thought that Yang Cheng was very busy, so he asked a little nervously, "Can I talk to you?" ”

Yang Cheng had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but he still thought about it a little, put down the things in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" ”

Frings secretly gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, "I should have apologized to you first" to apologize for what happened after the 6th round, but I didn't mean to embarrass you at the time, "I'm really sorry!" “

Yang Cheng smiled happily, "Forget it, it's over!" “

It's not a big deal, it's just that Yang Cheng wants to take the opportunity to knock this year's frivolous guy, so he took advantage of the topic to play, and now that he has apologized, he can wipe it clean when nothing happened.

Yang Cheng knows something about Frings's temper, this guy is the kind of guy who is so straightforward that people hate it, and the most impressive thing is that he criticized the young teammates of the national team for wanting to be Superman, and he was willing to buy a Hummer in the case of Dortmund's financial crisis, but he was caught by the media as a typical criticism.

Frings is such a scheming guy, so Yang Cheng doesn't think that his previous things were deliberate, but his character has always been like this.

"Thank you, Chief!" Frings thought Yang Cheng was magnanimous.

Yang Cheng smiled noncommittally, looking at the 21-year-old Frijns in front of him, he is still very young, there is still a lot of room for growth, as long as he is carved properly, he can definitely become one of the most outstanding stars of the young generation in Germany.

'But there's one thing that I'm still very adamant about, and that's when you switch to midfield, and I hope you can understand that you're not playing for yourself, you're playing for the whole Kaiserslautern team, and you have to subordinate yourself to the rest of the team, not to rest the team and accommodate you alone.

"If you don't understand this, then no matter which team you go to, you can't make it!" Yang Cheng said with great certainty.

Frings knew that this matter was the key, in fact, he also thought about this issue seriously last night, and the thoughts of Yang Cheng conveyed by Bremer, as well as the planning of his career future, if Frings was not biased, he would feel that it was quite feasible if he thought about it carefully.

In today's team, the central midfield position is overcrowded, and Ballack, Nedved, Schneider, Deisler, and even Veron and Deco can play this position, not to mention the central midfielder, who can't catch up with Veron and Deco when it comes to organizational ability.

As for the right side, Schneider, Deisler, Fritz and Salihamidzic can all play, Veron can also make a cameo, and Frings has no advantage in speed, "and his skills are not excellent, and his crosses are relatively average, and he really doesn't have the competitiveness to convince the manager to use him."

His only strengths are his diligence and tactical execution, but his competitors are no shortage either.

However, if he can move to the position of defender in the middle, although he will be a substitute for Gattuso, it is not without chance, because Gattuso is really outstanding defensively, "but his contribution on the offensive end is very small.

If Frings can play as a defender in the middle, his versatility will allow him to help the team in attack, especially with his long-range shots from behind.

Just think about it, Ballack, Nedved, Veron and Frijns "Kaiserslautern has these four long-range heavy gunners in the midfield, what team would dare to vacate the edge of the penalty area?

Of course, "Frings is lacking defensively and that's something he needs to strengthen.

"Tolsten, the reason why I want you to play defensive midfield, is not to play a full-time defender like Gattuso, and even I am doing everything possible to tap Gattuso's offensive potential, I want you to be a midfield defender who belongs to you, Frings, and you are unique.

"In the world we live in, there are no two leaves that are exactly the same, so there are no two players who are exactly the same, the biggest difference between you and Gattuso is that your defense is not as good as him and his offense is not as good as yours, so my requirements for the two of you are completely different!"

When Yang Cheng said this, he deliberately paused and let Frings digest and digest before continuing.

"My request to Gattuso is to ensure the team's defensive solidity and the safety of the defensive line, as well as the tactical harassment of the enemy, while ensuring the offensive support and coordination of his teammates; But what I'm asking of you is to go all out in the game while keeping the team defensively solid and the defence safe, do you understand the difference between that? ”

If it takes energy to make sure that the team is offensive and to make sure that the team defends, then what Gattuso has to do is put the energy into the offense and then put all the rest of the energy into the defense, so that he looks mediocre on the offensive end but is exceptionally good on the defensive end.

But Frings is not, he puts a little bit of energy into defense and the rest on offense, then he looks mediocre and decent on the defensive end, but he can shine on the offensive end.

"Each of us is a unique person, and so are you, I won't force you to put your heart and soul into defending when I know you're not good at defending, and vice versa!"

Yang Cheng's words suddenly made Frings feel like he was stunned, and he suddenly understood in his heart that he had really misunderstood Yang Cheng before.

"I'm starting to get a little understood, sir!" Frings nodded convincingly.

"Would you like to try it? Strengthen your defense, at least your current defensive ability is not enough to be reassuring! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Frings thought for a moment and nodded heavily, "I promise you, I will do my best to make the best of the tasks you have arranged!" ”

"I've always believed you can do this!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Frings also smiled.

"Go back and prepare well, today you just sit in the stands and watch the game, where you can see higher and have a wider line of sight, as long as you have the mentality of observation, you will find that you can learn a lot of things in the stands, and then show it to me on the training field, proving that you have the qualifications to enter the squad and even play as a starter!" Yang Cheng patted Frings on the shoulder encouragingly.

The latter immediately nodded in agreement and left Yang Cheng's office with a satisfied expression.

When Frings closed the door and went out, Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, being a head coach is not a simple job, at least deal with young and vigorous young people like Frings, give them a stick and reward them with a date, otherwise, it will seriously hit their self-motivation.

In the afternoon, Kaiserslautern was at home to Duisburg.

This multi-front, coupled with the fact that the team was deeply affected by the national team competition, even showed a powerless decline in the face of Duisburg's difficult opponents.

But at the critical moment, the player Yang Cheng trusted played a role again.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Kaiserslautern, who had been unable to attack for a long time, launched a wave of attacks from the left side, Nedved and Salihamidzic played a one-two, and the Czech dribbled the ball to enter the penalty area, but suddenly chose to cross.

Ballack cut in from the back row and fired a furious shot at Nedved's cross.

The ball went straight to the near post like a cannonball

With Ballack's crucial goal, Kaiserslautern beat Duisburg 1-0 at home, stopping two consecutive defeats and maintaining the team's proud record of winning all at home this season.

And on the fourth day after the end of the league season, the team ushered in the second leg of the Cup Winners' Cup.

Yang Cheng did everything in this game and once again discharged the 442 tactic, with Ruud van Nilsen and Larsson on the front, Denilson on the left, Deco and Schneider in the middle, Deisler on the right, Dede, Kyle, Lucio and Fritz in the back line from left to right, and Reynke as the goalkeeper.

It was a game where everyone could tell they were going to give their all to attack, with Kaiserslautern at home putting everything in on the attack from the first minute of the game and they scored in the first minute.

When the game ended, after rotation and trough, Kaiserslautern completely broke out in this round, Ruud van Nisroy and Larsson both scored twice, Deco, Denilson, Lucio each scored a goal, Kaiserslautern bloodied Belgium B team 7:0 at home, and advanced to the top 8 of the Cup Winners' Cup.

After this game, the media reversed the previous criticism of Yang Cheng and Kaiserslautern, completely overturned their previous arguments, and boasted about Kaiserslautern as much as possible, saying how sharp their offense was, how pleasing their football was, and so on.

"See, the media is just a bunch of wall grass, when you behave well, they will worship you as God, but when you behave badly, they will step you into hell and spit on you!"

Before the league game against Rostock at home, Yang Cheng read some media reports in the locker room, and then sarcastically said that he was not worried that the words in the locker room would be spread at all!

"So our best response is to ignore them, play our own football, do our best to win every game, and then completely ignore that clown!"
