In the next two weeks, Kaiserslautern spent the first week in hell, and almost all the players were skinned in the devilish training of Yang Cheng and other coaching staff.

In the physical examination a week later, almost all the players met Yang Cheng's requirements, even those who increased their weight during the winter break fell back to the standard weight during this time, and several other players were in satisfactory physical condition.

First of all, Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Dutch centre-forward consciously trained and strengthened his physical fitness even during the winter break, which made him return to the club after the winter break, in good physical condition, and after a week of devilish training, the Dutchman weighed 81 kilograms.

With a height of 1.88 meters and a weight of 81 kilograms, Fanny's body is not a pervert, but it is absolutely reasonable, because both Schmidt and Tim feel that with Fanny's technical characteristics, controlling his weight around 80 kilograms will not affect his physical strength, nor will it slow down his speed, as well as the frequency of his movements.

It can be said that after half a year of hard training, Vanney has finally trained his body to a satisfactory standard, and the next thing is to see when he will open his mind.

The second to reach the weight target was Denilson, a Brazilian who has always been resistant to physical training, and this time he worked hard in the devil's training, and even after every training session, he would take the initiative to go to the equipment room for intensive training, which made him finally weigh 68 kilograms after a week, Schmidt was satisfied with his physical fitness, although it was still a little thin, but this is the case for a player of his kind.

But what is strange is that the same technical player, 1.82 meters tall, was required to weigh more than 70 kilograms, and the Germans reached 73 kilograms in this physical examination, and the progress was obvious, and Deisler, who had just spent his 17th birthday, was also selected for the German youth team with his outstanding performance.

With the help of Yang Cheng and Kaiserslautern, Deisler's family moved to Kaiserslautern, although his parents still did not seem to be reconciled, but at least they no longer quarreled all day, and Deisler's training enthusiasm and state have also improved a lot, and his performance is getting better and better.

After a week of devil training, Yang Cheng began to conduct the team's run-in training.

Before that, Yang Cheng specially used the super coach assistance system again.

After an excellent performance in the first half, Yang Cheng has accumulated a lot of achievement points again, this time he directly purchased the service to improve the team's defensive positional sense, because he clearly saw that in the second half of the game, whether it is the Cup Winners' Cup or the German Cup, Kaiserslautern's opponents must steadily overpower their own side in terms of strength.

In this kind of knockout game, defense is often the key to determining the outcome of the game, Kaiserslautern's attack is no problem, the key is to defend against strong opponents, so he spent most of his achievement points and bought services to improve the team's defensive ability in the coming period.

For the rest of the achievement points, Yang Cheng used the service to improve the growth rate of players and further strengthen the growth of young players in the team.

After completing all this, Yang Cheng began to devote himself to the team's training and preparation.

…………

…………

After a week of preparation, Kaiserslautern hosted their opponents in the semi-finals of the German Cup, Hamburg.

The strength of the Bundesliga side should not be underestimated, especially with their right wing-back Salihamidzic, a wide attacker who is impeccable in both speed and skill and is at the heart of Hamburg's attack, and two years later, he moved to Bayern Munich on a free transfer, earning the title of Angel Wings.

When arranging tactics, Yang Cheng still maintains his own principle, that is, he will not disrupt his tactical arrangement for a certain player on the opponent, because he always believes that as long as the player pays attention to the position of the assistant defense when defending, then he will definitely be able to freeze the opponent.

On the contrary, if a player is assigned to mark Salihamidzic, it may disrupt the team's defensive arrangement, after all, Kaiserslautern has always focused on attacking and defending integrity, and there is no need to disrupt his own tactics because of one person.

Yang Cheng put this idea into his tactics, and although he also strengthened the player's attention to Salihamidzic, he did not send a special person to mark him.

Kaiserslautern's joint defensive system froze Borussia Dortmund's Ricken and Andy Müller, as well as Bayern's Sauer and Basler, and now that the players have understood this defensive style and improved their defensive strength, it is not difficult to freeze Salihamidzic.

With Bremer, Nedved and Denilson, who was actively involved in counter-attacking, Salihamidzic almost completely isolated on the right flank, and Gattuso in midfield to disrupt and disrupt, Hamburg were divided and isolated from the start of the game by Kaiserslautern's tactics.

In the end, Kaiserslautern eliminated Hamburg 1-0 with Denilson's goal, but the whole game was firmly controlled by Kaiserslautern's rhythm and plan, and Hamburg had no hope of winning away from home.

With this victory, Kaiserslautern made it to the final.

Immediately after this match, Yang Cheng received a message from Cottages.

"Ivbus at home beat Karlsruhe 3-0?"

As soon as everyone heard the news, their first reaction was shock, because Karlsruhe is a strong team in the Bundesliga, but Cottage is a third-tier team in Germany, and there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, but Karlsruhe has been a heel in a miserable situation.

"I heard that for this game, the Cottagers called up 150 fans in advance to carry out voluntary snow clearing and ice shoveling labor on their stadiums, and the Football Association Grounds Committee also inspected them and found that they met the standards, so the game continued, so you can imagine the bad situation of this team, Karlsruhe is obviously still too careless about this team."

Yang Cheng is no stranger to Cartbus, because the city is near Chemnitz, and later, Chinese player Shao Jiayi also played here, so he has a little impression of this team, but he never imagined that this team still has the potential to be a dark horse, or a darker horse than Kaiserslautern.

However, this also reminded him of the Copa del Rey game in which Real Madrid lost 0:4 away to Alcocan in the previous life, and every country's cup is the same, and there is no lack of precedents for overnight fame after an upset, such as the German Cup final in the 92/93 season, Bayer Leverkusen's opponent is Hertha Berlin II, but this time it became Ketbus who became famous overnight.

"It seems that this team is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it's better to be careful!" Yang Cheng frowned and reminded.

Paul Beyer and the rest of the coaching staff looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I'll start collecting information about this team right away, they're going to rush into the Bundesliga this season, and they're located near Dresden, so I'll take care of it!" ”

"Please, Paul!"

Paul Byer glared at Yang Cheng, as if to blame him for being so polite.

After explaining the German Cup, Yang Cheng had a headache and it was the turn of the German Second League.

According to the previous punishment decision issued by the German Football Association to Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng must be banned in the 18th, 19th and 20th rounds of the league, he will not appear in the coach's box, but he can sit in the stands.

Unfortunately, Kaiserslautern have 2 away games in these 3 games, so it's troublesome.

'If it's a home game, the club can vacate the seats at the back of the dugout and I can direct them nearby, but not away games. Yang Cheng sighed in distress.

He remembered the countermeasures of many famous managers who were banned in the next few years, but all of them were not suitable for him now, because the Germans are notoriously rigorous and rigid, and they will not give Yang Cheng any chance to intervene in the game.
