45 The Miracle of Bern (Part II)
…………
………….
The stands at the Karl Benz Stadium were all full, and the atmosphere in the stadium was very hot, especially when the players from both sides walked out of the aisle.
Yang Cheng walked out with Tim, Paul and members of the coaching staff to the coach's box, just in time to see Heathfield looking at him, Yang Cheng smiled politely, and then walked over.
"Good luck.xzsj8.luck, young man!" Heathfield smiled and hugged him.
"We're going to win this game!" Yang Cheng smiled and put down the cruel words.
"So do we!" Heathfield still had a smile on his face.
The two separated, each returned to their own coach's box, and surprisingly did not choose to sit back, but stood on the sidelines, watching the players on the field set up for kick-off.
"Dortmund is obviously determined to win this game, and they will play with the main force!" Tim Hank frowned on the sidelines, Dortmund is two consecutive Bundesliga champions, and there is no need to say much about the strength, on the other hand, Kaiserslautern has just experienced the relegation turmoil, and after the team reshuffle, no one knows what the strength is.
'It's pretty much the same as we predicted before the game, with Kloss in goal, Heinrich, Coral Collar, Summerer and Reut at the back, one of the best backlines in football today.
Heinrich is not too famous now, but his strength should not be underestimated, otherwise he would not have become the most valuable German player in the future; Needless to say, Coral and Summerer are both among the best in the world; As for Reuter, many people say that he is a top player at right wing-back, the fastest full-back, both offensive and defensive, and can play in any position in the backline, very well-rounded.
"Andy Muller, Lambert, Paul Sousa and Ricken make up the midfield, each of these four players is a top player, the only flaw is that Lambert and Paulo Sousa are both new players this season, so in midfield, they may not be as good as the backline!"
Lambert was also a Tiger general, from Scotland, and was the captain of the later Celtics!
"The partners in the front line are Chap Issat, the former is Switzerland's number one striker and has excellent scoring ability, and the latter is a famous striker in the Bundesliga, who is over 30 years old, and many people say that he is starting to move away from the top, but not to be underestimated!"
The more neglected the striker, the more dangerous it becomes, especially for those who have been brilliant in the past, because none of the players who have been successful on the football field are left to chance, and if they are underestimated, they can be destroyed at any time.
Yang Cheng swept Dortmund's starting lineup one by one, and then looked at his side.
The starting line-up he arranged for this game was also the strongest he could put out, except for a left winger Denilson who was excluded from the squad by him, and the others were also playing as much as possible.
The goalkeeper is Reynke, and the backline is Bremer, Kyle and Kosch; In midfield, Nedved, Ballack, Veron and Gattuso were on the side, while up front were Wagner, Fritz and Marshall.
Since the focus of this game was on defensive counterattacks, Yang Cheng made some adjustments in the arrangement.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
After the start of the game, the change in Yang Cheng's tactical arrangement was reflected.
On both flanks, Wagner and Fritz are both offensive and defensive players, occupying the left and right flanks respectively, but the position is a full-back, focusing on protecting the defense on the flanks.
In the midfield, Ballack, Nedved and Veron form an iron triangle combination in the midfield, whether it is offensive or defensive, they are all centered on the three of them, as for Gattuso, Yang Cheng simply gave up the restrictions on this player in this game, let him be freer, become a spoiler on the field, and harass Dortmund's players at any time.
At the beginning of the game, Gattuso tackled Andy Muller, who was holding the ball, when he stepped forward to defend, but the Italian immediately picked him up and smiled apologetically.
However, this foul interrupted Dortmund's attacking rhythm!
This is what Yang Cheng asked Gattuso to do.
"It seems that this kid has really improved a lot!" Paul smiled and praised when he saw Gattuso interrupting Dortmund's rhythm.
Yang Cheng thought to himself, if he doesn't show some improvement, my 15 achievement points will be in vain.
Because it is a defensive counterattack, Kaiserslautern started very steadily, the three lines were tightened, Ballack, Veron and Nedved are all players who can run in the midfield, and now Veron is not the same as he was in the Manchester United period, even in the Italian period, Veron's running ability is still very good.
The trio formed an iron triangle in midfield, keeping an eye on Andy Muller, a player at the heart of Borussia Dortmund, but Yang Cheng did not let his guard down against Ricken on the wing, and whenever he saw a player running out of position, he would immediately go to the sideline to warn him.
After 15 minutes of play, the score was still 0:0!
"Borussia Dortmund are really in control, we don't have any chances!" Paul Byer shook his head and sighed.
With a strong backline and a star-studded midfield, Dortmund's midfield looked like a fortified fortress, and Kaiserslautern's slightest counter-attacks were no threat to the Dortmund goal.
On the contrary, it was Dortmund's attack, which threatened again and again, and always made people fearful.
"Patience, Paul!" Yang Cheng squeezed out a smile, in fact, he was also shocked.
That's why so many managers have heart attacks, because every shot can cause a goal, so every time someone shoots, the manager's heart has to be hoisted, whether it's his own side or his opponent!
Yang Cheng saw that the players were fighting fiercely one by one, and the defense was very active in place, but Dortmund was too strong, Kaiserslautern was desperately supporting, and the players looked exhausted one by one.
"Be careful! Take it easy! Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and encouraged.
The manager's encouragement from time to time is also very particular, after all, the players can also learn about the manager's support and understand the current situation on the pitch.
To put it bluntly, the authorities are obsessed, although the players on the court know that they are passive, but they may not be able to know what the situation is, but Yang Cheng's words of encouragement contain satisfaction with their performance so far and hope to continue.
Heathfield on the side was also not surprised, and came to the sidelines from time to time to say a word or two, but more patiently waited.
It was clear that Borussia Dortmund were more than a step ahead and he was confident that his team would win this game, so there was no need for him to rush at the start.
But I don't know if it's because the opening attack was too fierce, Dortmund slackened the offensive a little after attacking for a while, and the three lines that were originally pressed forward retracted a little.
Kaiserslautern's players felt the pressure on the pitch.
But at this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly shouted, "Damn it! ”
