52 Start (B)
PS: Keep asking for tickets!
However, although the deadlock could not be broken for a long time, Yang Cheng still did not make major adjustments, but continued to make minor adjustments according to the game analysis of the super coach assistance system, after all, the team occupied such a huge advantage, he firmly believed that he would definitely score.
Sure enough, when the game reached the 64th minute, Bremer inserted in the back row, and found Marshall with a pass full of tacit understanding, and the East German striker's header in the penalty area was knocked back, and after Ballack took the ball outside the penalty area, he did not love to attack in the face of the opponent's blocking, but fiddled with a feint and knocked to the left side of the penalty area.
Nedved inserted a heavy cannon in the back row, and the ball hung in the dead corner, 1:0!
After scoring the first goal, Kaiserslautern looked more morale-boosting, but Jena's defense was tenacious, and in the 71st minute, Yang Cheng replaced the ineffective Gattuso with Pavel Kuka, allowing Ballack to retreat to midfield to play three midfielders, and the formation became 3322.
Pavel Kuka, who made his debut this season, was eager to show what he was capable of as Kaiserslautern's former top scorer, so when he won the ball on the edge of the penalty area, he chose to force a breakthrough despite Marshall in the box, only to have the ball broken off and almost be beaten on a counter-attack.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng also shook his head secretly in his heart, he wanted Pavel Kuka to get familiar with the rhythm of the game after he played, but who would have thought that he missed such a good opportunity.
But sooner or later, those who should win will still win.
In the 86th minute, Greiner, who replaced Fritz, passed to the middle after a flexible pass on the right side, and Marshall forced the defender to score with a header to rewrite the score to 2:0!
Kaiserslautern started the Bundesliga with three wins in a row and two wins at home, and Kaiserslautern had an excellent start to the league, especially the team's offensive and defensive statistics were very ideal, scoring 8 goals and not conceding a goal, such statistics are undoubtedly impeccable.
A week later, the final round of fixtures two weeks before the league shutdown took place, with Kaiserslautern away to Uerdingen.
It was a tough game, with Uerdingen playing at home, and although the main players of the Bundesliga last season were gone, the team was still there, and with them at home, but based on defensive counter-attacks, Kaiserslautern faced one of the toughest opponents since the start of the league.
But that's not the biggest headache, the real dissatisfaction is that the team's style of play is very brutal.
Veron, Ballack, Marshall and other players who performed well in the previous rounds were provoked and violated by their opponents in the game, and Wagner, who was entrusted by Yang Cheng with the main starting role this season, fell to the ground after being tackled from behind in the second half of this game, Schmidt and the team doctor determined that he could not continue to play after a preliminary diagnosis.
Yang Cheng had to replace Wagner with Deco and let Nedved play on the left, with Deco and Veron forming the midfield.
The substitution paid off quickly, with Deco and Veron, two South American players with solid skills, and despite the brutal scramble of their opponents in midfield, they were solid, especially after a one-two collision in the 72nd minute, when Veron went straight behind the Udingen defence.
Marshall, who has performed well this season, successfully countered offside and never wasted this rare opportunity again, calmly pushing the ball into the bottom right corner, 0:1!
With Marshall's goal, Kaiserslautern finally stubbornly defeated Uerdingen 1-0 away and won the first 4 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga!
And after this game, the Bundesliga also faces a two-week suspension.
However, after these two weeks, Yang Cheng has to face the dilemma of losing Wagner for at least a month.
German football is paying more and more attention to physical confrontation, so it directly causes that there is always a lack of barbaric teams in the confrontation of the lower leagues, such as Udingen, Oldenburg and other teams, are very barbaric teams, fouls are the most effective means for them to stop the opponent's attack, and yellow cards are like commonplace.
"With the exception of Denilson, Greiner is not doing well on the left and Nedved is not very comfortable with it......," says Paul Beyer, who has a headache just thinking about it.
Or...... Consider Denilson? Tim tried to suggest.
"No way!" Yang Cheng immediately jumped up.
Denilson was personally banned by him, and it has been almost a month now, but this kid refuses to admit his mistakes, and refuses to say a word every day except for training, so you can imagine how tough he is.
If Yang Cheng chooses to be soft at this time, wouldn't it be clear to tell him that he can continue to be alone? Won't he be even more difficult to do then? And where will Yang Cheng's head coach majesty be at that time?
"But the rest of our schedule is dangerous!" Paul Beyer also felt that he could consider this proposal.
Kaiserslautern's next opponents, in addition to Leipzig, will face Mainz, Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin in succession, all of which are the most direct opponents in the league this season, and all three games have been hard-hitting.
Who knows that Yang Cheng still stubbornly shook his head, he is now determined to fight Denelson to the end!
…………
…………
After a two-week break, the Bundesliga is back in action.
In the 5th round, Kaiserslautern won a difficult 1:0 away victory over Leipzig, but the misfortune was that Greiner, who was appointed by Yang Cheng to start in this game, was also injured.
In the first leg of the Cup Winners' Cup, Kaiserslautern drew 0-0 at home against Yugoslav powerhouse Red Star Belgrade, and Kaiserslautern's European journey was in jeopardy.
In the 6th round, Kaiserslautern was forced to draw 0:0 at home by Hertha Berlin!
In the 7th round, Kaiserslautern was forced to draw 1:1 by Mainz at home!
From the previous 5 consecutive wins to the recent 3 consecutive draws, everyone can see that Kaiserslautern is in trouble, especially this time Kaiserslautern has not conceded a goal this season.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Kaiserslautern fans in the stadium took the initiative to stand up and applaud the players, because although the game was a draw, everyone believed that the players did their best.
The goal conceded was a counterattack from the left side, and the second-team youngsters appointed by Yang Cheng in this game looked very immature on the left side, and did not actively participate in the defense after being cut off after dribbling, coupled with the overall pressure of the team, so that the opponent directly attacked the hinterland of Kaiserslautern.
Bremer is strong, but in the end, he is old and no longer useful, and when he faced the opponent directly, he took the initiative to choose to grab, but the opponent passed the ball, which caused Kaiserslautern to concede the goal.
With 5 wins and 2 draws, Kaiserslautern firmly occupies the top position of the league with 17 points, but everyone can see that Yang Cheng is in trouble, if this situation cannot be changed, then there is another away game against Wolfsburg, which may bring Kaiserslautern the first defeat of the season.
In the 30,000-strong stadium stands, Denilson, who sat in an unobtrusive corner, has always had a habit of watching the team's home games, even though he was not allowed into the squad by Yang Cheng.
In the first game of the Cup Winners' Cup and the last two consecutive rounds of home games, in the case of Wagner and Greiner being injured successively, Yang Cheng would rather promote the second team of young players, and would rather let Nedved, who is not good at playing on the left side, make a cameo, but he just refused to give him a chance, and even didn't let him enter the game squad!
"I'm completely disappointed in you!" Denilson's mind couldn't help but think of the words Yang Cheng had said when he sent him a warning letter.
In fact, he is a person with a good memory, so he clearly remembers everything Yang Cheng said to him, but he is not ready to change himself, because he feels that Yang Cheng does not understand his football at all, does not understand his past, and does not understand his character, and even thinks that Yang Cheng is deliberately targeting him!
"You're just a guy who likes to force people and is extremely self-righteous!" Denelson wanted to say this to Yang Cheng several times.
But he didn't do that in the end, because he still has the habit of respecting his manager at the very least!
In the stands, he experienced the team's feat of defeating Borussia Dortmund to win the German Super Cup, and also experienced the euphoria of the team's opening five consecutive wins, but at the same time, he also saw the team's two consecutive defeats.
When he saw that Yang Cheng was so resolute in refusing to give him a chance, he also began to be disheartened.
"Since there is no room for me here, then I might as well leave!" Denelson thought with some loss in his heart.
As soon as the thought came to mind, it was out of control, especially when he thought of his distant hometown of Brazil, where he was at home, and Denelson couldn't help but want to rush back immediately.
So he left the pitch and returned to the apartment that the club had rented for him, hastily packing some luggage and things to bring home, but just as he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped.
