After reaching an agreement with Yang Cheng, Frank seemed to be afraid that Gattuso would change his mind, so he forced him to Yang Cheng's side on the same day, and then casually packed two sets of clothes, stuffed them into his backpack, and said that he would ask someone to transport the luggage to Kaiserslautern.

On the contrary, it was Gattuso's mother, a very kind middle-aged woman, who kept telling Gattuso to play football well and be obedient and so on before leaving, so angry that Frank scolded her for being wordy.

Walking out of the house, Gattuso carried a backpack, not at all reluctant to leave the house, but seemed to be used to it.

"Don't be surprised, my dad has a straightforward personality, but he is also for my good!" After walking away, Gattuso explained to Yang Cheng and the others as he walked.

"When I first went to Perugia, they all promised to give me a professional contract, but it didn't materialize until now, my dad has always been by my side to support me, otherwise I would have starved to death with just a little subsidy from the club every month!"

"He can't play on his own, so he tried everything to ask me to play, and he always thought that I was the material for playing, even if I didn't get a chance in Perugia, he never changed his confidence in me, I can play because of him, he is my idol!"

Yang Cheng and Tim listened silently, and couldn't help but completely change their impression of the father and son, at least the relationship between Gattuso and his son was not as they had guessed before, and even the relationship between their father and son must be much better than that of most fathers and sons, which can be seen from the fact that as soon as Perugia was on vacation, Gattuso went home.

If he really hated his father, he wouldn't come back, would he?

"Don't worry, Ivan, you can be a great player, you have that potential, you have that strength, you believe me, I will not look away, you have the quality to be a top player!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted Gattuso's shoulder and encouraged.

"Really?" Gattuso was skeptical.

"I promise!" Yang Cheng said with great confidence.

Although Gattuso was still skeptical of Yang Cheng's words, at least he could see that Yang Cheng was not lying, which made him a little grateful to the head coach he met for the first time, at least this was the first time someone praised him like this and gave him affirmation.

Others, at best, will only compliment him on his physical ability!

Kaiserslautern, the meaning of the Emperor's Lautten River, is also called the City of Barbarossa, because in 1152, during the reign of Barbarossa, the royal palace was built in Kaiserslautern, so it is also called the City of Caesar.

With the Lauten River drying up and the palace destroyed by the war, all that remains is a few ashlars and an emergency passage, and Kaiserslautern has become almost an American city, especially since the United States announced that it would expand the Ramstein Air Base near the city, and the American garrison here has remained at more than 40,000 all year round.

Today, Kaiserslautern has a population of less than 100,000, and American GIs account for nearly half of it.

However, the football atmosphere here is absolutely hot, especially the attendance of the stadium, which is said to be around 30,000 per round of home games, which is definitely full for the Fritz Walter Stadium, which currently has a capacity of just over 30,000.

However, because of this, the local fans were unhappy with Kaiserslautern's invitation to coach Yang Cheng, because in their opinion, although the Chinese had a brilliant record in Chemnitz in the past season, it was only in East Germany that he did not deserve to be in charge of Kaiserslautern.

When Yang Cheng stepped into the club's confines and saw the banners hanging by the fans outside the training ground in Tilingen for the first time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What's on it?" Gattuso couldn't read German.

Yang Cheng and Tim looked at each other, but neither answered, because it read: Get out of Kaiserslautern! We want Rehhagel, not Yang!

It is clear that the fans are protesting to the club in this way!

It is no wonder that Rehhagel is also quite famous in Germany, especially when he was in charge of Werder Bremen, he took over Werder Bremen, which was relegated to the Bundesliga in 1980, led the team to promotion in the first season, and won the fifth place in the Bundesliga in the second season, and in the next 15 years, Werder Bremen ranked at the top of the Bundesliga every year.

It can be said that it was Rehhagel who laid the glory of Werder Bremen during his tenure, brought this second-rate team into a Bundesliga powerhouse, and also made Rehhagel famous in Germany, that is, with Werder Bremen's brilliant record, Rehhagel entered Bayern Munich and ambitiously wanted to complete the transformation of his career.

Unexpectedly, he fell a miserable heel on Bayern, and he left class in disgrace, quite disheartened.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Kaiserslautern persuaded Rehhagel several times, and finally persuaded him to take over the relegated Kaiserslautern, but now, the emergence of Yang Cheng has brought some changes, and Frederick finally chose Yang Cheng.

However, this angered the fans of Kaiserslautern, and in their opinion, Yang Cheng is really nothing compared to Rehhagel!

For all this, Yang Cheng had expected it a long time ago, he was not afraid, on the contrary, he thought that it was a challenge to himself.

Only if Kaiserslautern is well tuned, he is qualified to achieve his goals, and conversely, if even Kaiserslautern is not good at coaching, what is there to talk about coaching the giants?

The training ground in Tilingen is located behind the Fritz Walter Stadium and next to the nearby campus of the University of Kaiserslautern, which is also part of Kaiserslautern's fan base.

Knowing that Yang Cheng had come to the club, Frederick immediately came out to receive him and welcomed Yang Cheng into his office.

"Ignore the fans, I have faith in you anyway!" The first thing he said when he came in, Frederick comforted Yang Cheng.

As long as the people who walked into the office could see the protests of the fans outside, Frederick was worried that Yang Cheng was young and vigorous, so he took the lead in stabilizing him.

How do you know that Yang Cheng smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I won't be so useless, they will protest that I expected it, but I am also very stubborn, I am happy to conquer them, with my and my team's performance on the field, just like I did in Chemnitz last season!" ”

After Frederick heard this, he was immediately relieved!

Yang Cheng was also controversial in Chemnitz last season, he expelled the players' parents and fans from the training area, which caused a lot of trouble, and even the fans booed him during the game, but as he led the team to better and better results, the fans' boos for him slowly turned into applause and cheers, and even when he was about to leave the team, they kept him in tears.

"Did you bring in that young man named Gattuso?" Frederick asked with concern.

Yang Cheng saw the worry in Frederick's eyes, "There are still some procedures that have not been completed, and the club needs to follow up, he is a player with great potential and strength, you will definitely open your eyes in the new season!" ”

Frederick can't say anything, can't Yang Cheng break the previous agreement and meddle in his reinforcement plan as soon as he takes office, right?

"Nedved's agent has informed the team, the player has agreed to sign with the club, Chris Schmidt has offered to go to Italy for a medical check-up, and I agreed!" Frederick said.

Yang Cheng was in a good mood when he heard this, and he was able to deal with Nedved, plus Gattuso, Barak, Kyle and others, Yang Cheng's transformation plan for Kaiserslautern was going well.

In his opinion, in addition to several veterans in the midfield such as Bremer, Olaf Marshall on the front line is outstanding, and Croatian striker Pavel Kuka has good ability and is the team's top scorer last season, but his performance is not stable enough, and he is not as good as Marshall in Yang Cheng's mind.

In this way, it is only natural to bring in a striker, after all, he cannot live on just two strikers, especially in 1996, when two strikers were in charge.

In terms of midfield, Greiner and Wagner are barely available, the former is a wide player, but he is 30 years old, the latter can attack and defend well, has outstanding running ability, can play multiple positions, and should be able to rely on it in the new season, if you add Nedved, Gattuso, Ballack and other players, the midfield is also considered a fit, but there is a lack of an organizer to be responsible for combing the midfield.

Looking at the academy, 20-year-old Riddle and 18-year-old Nigerian teenager Ojigwe can't hope for the time being, so it is imperative to bring in a suitable playmaker, and Yang Cheng already has the right person in mind.
