In the 18th round of the league, Kaiserslautern challenged Winterhaching away.

The team that had the best performance and the strongest attacking ability in the first half of the Bundesliga lost the crazy goalscoring frenzy in the Bundesliga after a leisurely winter break, and Kaiserslautern, who was known for their attacking power, was frozen by the defense of Winterhachen.

The 0:1 score is depressing, and Paul Beyer, who has replaced Yang Cheng in command, has done his best, but he still can't bring a little confidence to the players, because they are all used to it, and the young manager who always stands on the sidelines and directs the game, without him, the team seems to have lost its backbone.

After the game, Yang Cheng walked into the locker room, he was originally a little angry, but when he saw the locker room, many players' faces were flustered, and they lost their usual calmness, but when they saw Yang Cheng push open the door of the locker room and walk in, they couldn't help but stand up one by one, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw and looked at themselves, he finally understood that the culprit who caused the team to be forced to draw was himself.

At this moment, Yang Cheng was really moved, because he really felt the deep dependence on him in the players, he was the soul of this team and the solid backing of everyone.

Every game, no matter how hard and tired the players are, as long as they look back, they can see him in front of the dugout, and then they will work hard again, so when one day, they find that the person standing on the sidelines is not themselves, they will panic.

Paul Beyer made adjustments, but they didn't trust him, and they wondered in their hearts that he would have decided the same way if the boss was there.

It was this suspicion that led to problems with the team's execution, which led to the team being forced to draw by the opponent in the end!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly felt ashamed, he wanted to scold them just now, but now he ......

"I'm sorry!" Yang Cheng said loudly that at this moment, he sincerely apologized to every player in the locker room, "I apologize to you, I'm sorry!" ”

The players were stunned one by one, Yang Cheng, who has always been hard-mouthed and refused to admit defeat, actually apologized to them?

How do you know that Yang Cheng bit his lip tightly, passed by the players one by one, he hugged them one by one, and encouraged and affirmed them, the whole process seemed extremely long, and after he had walked a whole circle, he returned to the middle of the players and stood still, and then spoke again.

"You performed impeccable in this game, you couldn't win this game, the responsibility is on me, because I was banned, which caused our team to almost lose, so I want to apologize to you, I made your 90 minutes of hard work completely soup, I feel ashamed!"

"Don't say that, boss!" Bremer immediately spoke.

Belon also stepped forward, "Yes, boss, don't say that, we never felt that it was your fault, on the contrary, we all felt ashamed of you for not winning this game!" ”

The players all nodded, clearly agreeing with what Veron and Bremer had to say.

"Boss, you have always envisioned for us, you have always been supporting this team, and now we promise you that during your absence, we will do our best to win every game!" Barak hugged Yang Cheng's shoulders tightly and assured seriously.

"Yes, boss, don't worry, in the next game, we will definitely win the opponent!" Denilson also clenched his fists.

"I won't let you down again, boss!" Deisler also assured with a guilty face that if Yang Cheng was the culprit, then everything was for his weakness at that time.

Yang Cheng looked at the faces in front of him, at this moment, what he saw was not the images in his memory, let alone the stars who only heard his name in his previous life, but never saw a real person, but a living player, a group of comrades-in-arms who love themselves and are willing to support and help them when they are in a critical situation!

"As you said, Chief, you have always taught us that on the football field, we must know how to sacrifice for our teammates, because our teammates will also sacrifice for us when we need them, and all along, it was the Boss who sacrificed for us, and now, it is our turn to sacrifice for the Boss!"

Bremer came out of the crowd and came to Yang Cheng, "Guys, comrades-in-arms, you say, right? ”

"Yes!" The players roared in unison.

"On behalf of the team, I promise you that we will not lose to any opponent in the future, no matter which game it is, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how hard we work and how tired we are, we will do our best to win every game and never let you down again!"

"Never let you down again!" The players shouted again.

Yang Cheng was suddenly moved, and tears almost poured out of his eyes, but he held back, choked back tears, and couldn't stop nodding.

"Listen to it first, although I think you can do it!"

In one sentence, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and the players immediately laughed.

Kaiserslautern ushered in the first defeat of the season, and the media naturally shifted all the blame to Yang Cheng, believing that Kaiserslautern had become fragile without a head coach, and Yang Cheng had become synonymous with youthful impulsiveness.

With the exception of a few authoritative sports newspapers, most of the other newspapers blamed Yang Cheng in one fell swoop, but at this time, the Kaiserslautern Free Press, where Glen Nack worked, once again took on the responsibility of defending Yang Cheng, and in his column he denounced those with bad intentions, arguing that Kaiserslautern's first defeat of the season showed how important Yang Cheng was to the team.

"Some people say that Kaiserslautern is the city of Caesar, then Kaiserslautern is Caesar's team, then Yang Cheng is this team, Caesar of this city, he is the undoubted authority, he is the soul core of this team, and everyone has seen how Kaiserslautern fights without him."

"There is no doubt that in the three league games that Yang Cheng is suspended, Kaiserslautern will usher in the most difficult schedule of the season, but I think that what all Kaiserslautern fans should do at this time is not to criticize the team and our Caesar, but to support the team, support Caesar, and support Yang Cheng's return as king!"

"I'm convinced that when our Caesar is back in the team, our Kaiserslautern will be incredibly strong; I am convinced that we are capable of defeating all opponents; I am even more convinced that a Kaiserslautern led by Caesar is capable of winning any trophy and any honor! ”

As if echoing Gran Nack's column, Kaiserslautern fans also appeared at the Tiringen training ground in groups during the first training session after the game, pulling up banners with various slogans in support of Yang Cheng, and even a fan group chanting "Caesar!" outside the training ground. Caesar! slogan.

This is the first time that the team has given Yang Cheng a nickname, which is also his first nickname!

When Yang Cheng saw all this in the training ground, he suddenly had an impulse and came directly to the vicinity of the training ground, facing the fans outside, and shouted loudly, "I promise you that everything you have done today, I will repay it tenfold or hundredfold, this is my promise to you today, Yang Cheng!" ”

The fans immediately applauded and cheered, because they heard Yang Cheng's resolute confidence from these words!

A week later, at the Fritz Walter Stadium, Kaiserslautern slaughtered the Stuttgart Kickers 2-0 in front of more than 30,000 Red Devils fans.

But in the following week, Kaiserslautern challenged Jena away, the dark horse team of the Bundesliga last season, this season's performance has dropped a bit, but they are still tenacious at home, and in the absence of Yang Cheng, they suddenly made a cold arrow after the start, and broke the deadlock on the field in the 9th minute.

This was a mistake by Paul Beyer on the spot, conservatively following the tactics laid out by Yang Cheng before the game, and did not respond to it, if Yang Cheng was there, with a little adjustment, maybe he would not have conceded the goal so quickly.

After taking the lead, Jena began a conservative defensive counter-attacking tactic, and Kaiserslautern continued to apply pressure, especially in the 57th minute of the second half, Veron once again took advantage of a free kick opportunity in front of the goal to score directly and equalize.

However, in the next 35 minutes, Kaiserslautern bombarded Jena indiscriminately, but it had little effect, and the score was finally tied 1:1.

In the three league games that Yang Cheng was absent, Kaiserslautern won 1, drew 1 and lost 1, not only breaking the unbeaten golden body this season, but also shortening the gap with Hertha Berlin, the second place in the league.

But after the match against Jena, Kaiserslautern fans were generally on high profile because their Caesar was finally back!
