Loew's players were quite satisfied with their performance on the field.

Although the score is 2:2, Kaiserslautern is at home, and Stuttgart can draw away from the opponent, which is also a good result, not to mention that Stuttgart's situation is not very ideal now, and it is very affected by the national team competition.

In the other two games played not long ago, Bayer Leverkusen was drawn 2:2 at home by Munich 1860b, Dortmund was forced to draw 2:2 at home by Karlsruhe, although there were also Bayern Munich 3:0 home games against Hertha Berlin, but the opponent was too weak at that time.

The impact of the national team games on these strong teams is slowly beginning to be revealed, even if the bench thickness is very strong, but the frequent back and forth of players who make way for the national team games like this season is absolutely fatal.

As a result, there have been scenes of poor performance by strong teams.

In Loew's view, a draw away from Kaiserslautern is an acceptable result.

Turning his head sideways to look at the young coach Yang Cheng in the distance, this Chinese has been in the limelight in German football recently, his team is unbeaten in the first five rounds of the season, 4 wins and 1 draw, Loew originally thought about beating the opponent, but in the end could not do anything.

"Looks like that's how the game is!" Loew thought to himself.

Both sides played the same cards and didn't have any surprising hands, so unless one of them had a surprise move, the game was almost over.

When Loew saw Yang Cheng call the Swede Larsson, who was warming up in the distance, to the front, he thought that Yang Cheng was going to strengthen the midfield.

Larsson played in midfield at Feyenoord and when he arrived at Kaiserslautern, Yang Cheng pushed him up front but failed to score, so Loew didn't think very highly of him.

But Yang Cheng clearly has high hopes for Larsson.

"You're dressed?" Yang Cheng asked nonsensibly.

Larson immediately smiled and nodded, his face full of excitement.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Then are you ready?" ”

"Ready, Chief." Larsen's expression was as excited and restless as the P guest saw the woman who had stripped naked on the bed.

"That mall, Stuttgart!"

"No problem!"

Larson walked out laughing, ready for a substitution.

Yang Cheng asked him to be a substitute before, and also reminded him that he would definitely play in this game, but he didn't let him play for a long time.

After the team took the lead one after another and was equalized one after another, Larsson looked at it on the bench and called it so depressed, he couldn't wait to rush up and kill the opponent on behalf of his teammates, but Yang Cheng didn't seem to have this mind.

waited anxiously there, and waited for 75 minutes before Yang Cheng reminded him to change.

At this time, as soon as Larsson, who was holding his breath, came to the sidelines, he was immediately so excited that he couldn't wait to rush into the field immediately.

Yang Cheng made this substitution with Larsson to replace the underperforming Frijns, who apparently complained about Yang Cheng's use of his side. With a look of indignation on his face when he walked off the field, he didn't even say hello to Yang Cheng and walked directly into the locker room.

Yang Cheng swept this young and vigorous kid with the corner of his eye, knowing that he was angry in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to so much, but decided to take this opportunity to teach this kid a good lesson and let him open his mind.

As soon as Larsson came on the pitch, Kaiserslautern's tactics immediately changed to 352.

Lucio, Cos and Fritz played in defence, Deco and Riddle played in a double midfield, Dede played as a winger, Schneider and Deisler in the middle and on the right respectively, and Klose and Larsson formed a double striker.

Of course, no one will say Yang Cheng's change of formation, but everyone has seen it, Larsson appears in the front, Dede is more in the midfield, Riddle retreats to play in the back and so on.

The so-called tactical formations only appear for the sake of distinction and easy to remember, the tactical formations on the field are all fluid, it is difficult to see what kind of arrangement is in place, and almost all of them are irregular positions, which cannot be as symmetrical and beautiful as on the tactical drawing board.

In the face of Yang Cheng's substitution and adjustment, Loew decided to respond to all changes with the same first, and then see the situation.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Larsson came on the court, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

After only 2 minutes on the field, he was harassed by the front of the penalty area, suddenly got off his feet, tackled the ball, dribbled forward on the right side of the penalty area, and passed to the middle of the bottom line.

Klose plugged in the back row, and the young rookie, who was very valued by Marshall, firmly stuck his position with his body, accurately leaned over and jumped to the top, and also cleverly topped a high ball, which the goalkeeper couldn't reach, 3:2.

Klose's second goal completely blew up Fritz? The frenetic atmosphere at the Walter Stadium.

Kaiserslautern's players held their breath and now saw that the situation had improved, and immediately rushed to Stuttgart.

In the 86th minute, it was Larsson again, the Swedish striker secretly pointed to the right side at the edge of the penalty area, Klose pulled to the left with understanding, attracting the attention of two defenders, but Schneider passed the ball to the right side of the top of the penalty area, Larsson went directly into the penalty area, and rubbed his right foot after receiving the ball.

The goalkeeper spread his arms as far as he could, but the ball still slipped through his armpit and hung into the net, 4:2.

After the goal, Larsson rushed directly to the bottom line, and then pulled up his jersey, and saw that he was wearing a white shirt inside, which read: Dedicated to Jordan!

Then he raced all around the pitch, his right thumb sticking into his mouth and sucking the pacifier, the Swedish striker, who had made good on his promise to cut off all his long hair and get a big bald haircut, apparently dedicating his goal to his son, who was born yesterday.

The Kaiserslautern fans erupted in cheers and applause for the first time they encouraged the Swedish striker, who was one of the best in the world after coming off the bench in this game.

After the celebration ended, the game resumed.

Kaiserslautern continued to attack with all his might, and in the final minutes there was a furious attack, with Stuttgart specifically counter-attacking and the entire defence in jeopardy.

Although Loew wanted to adjust the team to counterattack, Kaiserslautern's starting tactics were premeditated, and by the time Stuttgart wanted to counterattack, there was little time left in the game, and the difference of 2 goals made Stuttgart even more disheartened

One would believe that Stuttgart still have a chance to hold their opponents to a draw under the intense attacking pressure of Kaiserslautern.

After coming on as a substitute, Larsson's state also made Yang Cheng quite pleased, he originally just wanted the Swedes to rush up and fight for goals, but he didn't expect him to dominate two goals at once. 4:2, Kaiserslautern led everywhere, but very

A hard-fought win over Stuttgart continued to secure the league leader's position.

…………

…………

After playing the league, Kaiserslautern did not have time to rest and went directly to Iceland to challenge the BV team away.

This team is a strong team in the league, but it is somewhat inferior to the teams in the major European leagues, but the climate here is indeed the biggest obstacle to playing away from home.

Yang Cheng visited Iceland this time, and still did not bring all the main forces, because Kaiserslautern's strength is obviously superior to the opponent, even if it is a substitute lineup, as long as it can overcome the weather problem, it will not be a problem to defeat the BV team.

On the contrary, in the seventh round of the league, the team will face Karlsruhe away, which is also a tough battle.

In this case, Yang Cheng played in a half-main and half-substitute line-up for the BV team, with Ruud van Nistelrooy as the starter, and took advantage of a few chances in the first half to score a goal for Kaiserslautern.

In the second half, Yang Cheng was again replaced by gold medal substitute Larsson, who formed a double striker with Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the result was a big hit in Iceland, with Ruud van Nistelrooy scoring twice and Larsson also netting a goal, and the two goalscorers beat Iceland BV 4-1 away for Kaiserslautern.

With a win in this game, Kaiserslautern is tantamount to stepping into the next round of the Cup Winners' Cup with one foot.

Back in Germany, the team travels to Karlsruhe.

Yang Cheng arranged for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Larsson to start together, Denilson, Veron, Nedved, Ballack and Deisler in midfield, and Lucio, Kiv and Kyle in the backline. 、

As a result, the team scored four goals in the first half.

However, in the second half, Kaiserslautern's performance became more and more lacking, especially after Karlsruhe launched a counterattack and scored a goal based on Kiv's mistake.

In this case, Yang Cheng was forced to make substitutions one after another, and finally maintained the score of 4:1 until the end of halftime.

After this round of matches, Bayern, Stuttgart and other teams have won their opponents one after another, but Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have suffered away defeats, and it is clear that the team has not yet broken free from the whirlpool of national team competition.

However, it is no wonder that after the national team competition, the team has no chance to rest at all, and these teams are all fighting on multiple fronts in the Bundesliga, European competitions and cups, although the bench is thicker, but with the European competition fire, the players' physical fitness and physical condition have been seriously challenged.

Kaiserslautern's poor performance in the second half was also due to fitness problems, and if it weren't for the excellent performance of the two strikers of Ruud van Nisray and Larsson in the first half, it is estimated that Kaiserslautern would have been difficult to win this game.

Kaiserslautern followed up with a 5-0 win away at Meppen in the German Cup in midweek.

In this game, Kaiserslautern played as a substitute lineup, but still beat the opponent by a large margin, from which it is not difficult to see that Kaiserslautern's strength has indeed improved dramatically compared to last season, at least in the bench lineup The improvement is even more obvious.

On September 26, back in the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern hosted Werder Bremen.

The team that helped Rehhagel rise to the top of the German hierarchy has also been deeply influenced by Rehhagel's tactical thinking, whose team is based on a defensive focus, and although in the 94/95 season they played the first offensive force in the Bundesliga, the rest of the season was known for their solid defence.

It is estimated that this is also related to the fact that Rehhagel was played a 0:12 by Dortmund in the early stage of his debut, and since then his coaching style has tended to be defensive.

After Rehhagel's departure, Werder Bremen had a turbulent period and a tumultuous start to the season.

Kaiserslautern sat at home, still attack-oriented, Werder Bremen counter-attacked, the two teams played a wave of offensive in the first half, and finally Kaiserslautern followed up with goals from Ruud van Nisray and Ballack in the first half, leading Werder Bremen 2:0.

Seeing that the game might be over because of this, as soon as the second half began, Werder Bremen took advantage of Kaiserslautern's backfield marking error to equalize the score in the 48th minute and make it 2:1.

In the end, with a solid midfield and Gattuso's excellent performance, Kaiserslautern defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 at home and defended the top spot of the league again.

Two days later, at home, Kaiserslautern welcomed the Icelandic BV team.

This time, Kaiserslautern played as a substitute, thanks to Larsson's brace, defeated BV 2-0 at home and successfully advanced to the next round, while Kaiserslautern will face Belgium's B team in the next round, and the first leg is scheduled for October 23, Kaiserslautern plays away.

Back in the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern travelled to Munich 1860 in the ninth round of the league, and the team once again played a game with a huge gap between the two halves.

In the first half, with the goals of Vanney, Ballack and Denilson, Kaiserslautern led Munich 1860 3:0 away, but in the second half, Munich 1860 regained the initiative, scored Kaiserslautern 1 goal, not to mention, and almost scored more goals, although defeated Munich 1860 3:1 away, but Yang Cheng's mood was not happy at all, because he clearly felt that the player's physical condition was getting worse bit by bit.

As the head coach of a team, Yang Cheng clearly understands that one of the important reasons why the team's performance in the second half is unbalanced is not the team's strength is not enough, or the tactics are not right, but the physical fitness of the players.

Running back and forth on multiple fronts had a great impact on Kaiserslautern.

Lo and behold, after the ninth round of the league, the national team regrouped, which was an absolute torture for Kaiserslautern.

After playing the away game against Munich 1860, Yang Cheng disbanded the team on the spot, and he himself went to Rankelfurt, where the headquarters of the German Football Association is located, together with Bayern Munich's chairman Beckenbauer.

"I think, don't be busy reforming any youth training all day long, let's reform the schedule first!" The two were on the train and chatted about the recent game, and Yang Cheng suddenly looked angry.

Beckenbauer also smiled bitterly, he was not less spit on Trapattoni in this regard, "You know, these are controlled by FIFA and UEFA, and we clubs can't do anything about it!" ”

Speaking of this, Beckenbauer smiled wryly, today's European clubs are very sad, they pay the salaries of their players, but they still have to compromise so much that they let the players go to the national team to work for FIFA and UEFA, and what is more, the club must also accommodate FIFA and UEFA in the schedule.

If Yang Cheng was a fan in his previous life and did not delve into the schedule in this area, then he would not be as angry as he is now, but when he really became a head coach, he realized that the current situation of these clubs was so sad.

This is equivalent to Yang Cheng buying a mobile phone, and the municipal leaders who remembered him saw that his mobile phone was fashionable and unique, and asked, ah, it turned out to be Steve? Jobs launched four bags of apples in a big way. So he said, Yang Cheng, you let me use the mobile phone first, and when you want to use it, come to me to borrow it.

This is called anti-customer-oriented, and it is indefinite and uncontrolled!

Thinking of this, even Yang Cheng couldn't help but want to d'd!

"It's not going on like this, there are competitions in even-numbered years, the national team should take time to train and prepare for the competition as much as possible, there are qualifiers in odd-numbered years, plus other events, so that no matter which year, the league will make way for the suspension of national team competitions!" Yang Cheng was so angry that he couldn't do it.

Look at the Bundesliga this season, the Bundesliga has only played nine rounds, and the result has been suspended three times, each time for two weeks, God knows if those guys who arranged the qualifier schedule are not from the Chinese Football Association!

"We've been working hard, but as you can see, the DFB is also powerless!" Beckenbauer sighed.

Part of the income of the German Football Association is in the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga has been affected, and the German Football Association has naturally been affected, although the national team competition is important, but in fact, everyone knows that the league is more important, but FIFA and UEFA have pressed it hard, and the German Football Association is powerless.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng finally understood the meaning of 14, so he said casually: "Since the national football associations are powerless, it is better for the major clubs to organize themselves and form 14, and work against UEFA, unless UEFA wants to offend all the giants at once, otherwise it must be compromised!" ”

Yang Cheng said something casually, but it suddenly made Beckenbauer's eyes light up.

“14？”

Yang Cheng didn't notice anything at this time, he looked out the window and muttered: "Well, 14, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Ajax, Dortmund, Liverpool, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Eindhoven and Dortmund." ”

Unconsciously he was reciting football memories from his past life.

But after Beckenbauer heard this, he suddenly flashed a fierce color, and immediately noticed that the teams listed by Yang Cheng all had one thing in common, that is, they had all won the Champions League, which is nominally the so-called giants of the national leagues.

If these clubs are brought together and the interests of these teams are bundled, as long as they are under the premise of the common interests of the clubs, they must have the strength to compete with FIFA and UEFA, which can definitely greatly improve the current status and status of the clubs.

If the dictatorship of FIFA and UEFA can be cut off, I believe that all European clubs will benefit from it.

Yang Cheng didn't realize that his casual words made Beckenbauer have so many associations, and let him put into reality next.

As for the establishment of 14, Yang Cheng can be said to be a historical necessity, even if there is no 14, there will definitely be an organization of F4 or something to play the role of 14.

In other words, in the dark, many things are predestined!

Only this time, Yang Cheng is likely to advance the establishment of 14.
