[Fourth shift, ask for a monthly pass]

On 6 November, Kaiserslautern took on Freiburg away.

After the previous bloody battle with Manchester United, Yang Cheng had to adjust the team lineup, and finally defeated Freiburg 1-0 away with Salihamidzic's goal.

The big news for this game is that Veron has finally returned from injury and has played more than ten minutes.

The return of the midfielder has given Kaiserslautern more confidence for the upcoming games.

On the 10th, Kaiserslautern, who returned to his home stadium, defeated Hamburg 2-0 at home with goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nedved.

On the 13th, Kaiserslautern challenged Werder Bremen away.

The latter, born out of Rehhagel's defensive system, caused a lot of problems for Kaiserslautern, who was unable to break through Werder Bremen's goal, and the score of 0-0 was maintained until the 91st minute.

At the crucial moment, Denilson broke through with a high-speed dribble on the left side, entered the penalty area, tripped the opposing defender and fell to the ground, and the referee undoubtedly awarded a penalty, Denilson won another three points for Kaiserslautern.

After continuous battles in November, the team can finally get a week's rest after playing the 13th round, and Yang Cheng even simply took a two-day vacation to let the players have a good rest.

In the home game against Dortmund on the 20th, Yang Cheng stayed for the Champions Cup match in midweek, played with a semi-main lineup, and finally relied on a header from Klose to defeat Dortmund 1:0.

The victory also gave Kaiserslautern a fifth straight league win, especially since conceding one goal against Rostock, and Kaiserslautern maintained a solid defense without conceding a goal in the next four league games.

At this moment, everyone began to believe that Yang Cheng's defensive system had finally become solid, Thomas? The backline combination of Link, Kyle and Lucio has finally proven its quality in all aspects.

On the 24th, Kaiserslautern challenged Brondby away.

Yang Cheng had long been fully prepared for this game, and arranged the team's strongest offensive lineup, reversing the previous 3-guard tactics and playing 442 instead. Link and Lucio form central defences, Dede and Fritz play full-backs, Ballack and Veron in midfield, Salihamidzic on the left, Deisler on the right, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Larsson up front.

This set of attacking lineups sets off Yang Cheng's ambition to raise the banner of attack.

And the players did not disappoint Yang Cheng, although it was an away game, although it was a game in the ice and snow in Denmark, but the players were not intimidated by the cold at all, and they beat their opponents at home in Brondby with a hearty 6:0.

Larsson scored a hat-trick and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Veron and Salihamidzic netted a goal each and the win took Kaiserslautern to nine goals, including 11 over two legs against Brondby Derby.

However, Yang Cheng is also very clear that in the group stage rules, the relationship between goal difference should be ranked after the match results, goals and away goals, but he still demands a big win for his players, because he does not want to let go of any possibility, after all, Kaiserslautern and Barcelona so far are still drawn.

'The goal went in, oh my God, the crucial goal in the last minute, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's goal'

In the away dressing room at Brondby's home stadium, the shouts of the live commentators were heard over the radio.

'The referee blew the final whistle as the Reds drew 3-3 with Barcelona at the Camp Nou thanks to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's crucial 93rd minute goal.

Hearing this news, Kaiserslautern's players were a little mixed, some happy, some disappointed. There is no doubt that with this draw, Manchester United's draws have accumulated to three, plus two wins, they have nine points, the same as Barcelona, and since both teams are drawn 3-3 home and away, Manchester United will undoubtedly have the advantage on goal difference, so even if Barcelona beat Kaiserslautern at home in the last round, Manchester United will still top the group.

Manchester United's final round at home to Brondby is unlikely to drop points, which means they have already secured the top spot in the group.

The key is to see who is second in the group

"In this game at Camp Nou, we are determined to win, and we cannot afford to lose," Yang Cheng shouted fiercely.

The players became determined and aligned their goals and ideas with the manager.

At present, Kaiserslautern has 8 points, Barcelona has 9 points, as long as Barcelona does not lose, Kaiserslautern will be out, which Yang Cheng absolutely does not want to see.

But the trip to Camp Nou must have been difficult, and Yang Cheng had been mentally prepared for it.

This season's Champions League final is being played at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, and Barcelona are ambitious to make a difference in the Champions League, and their failure to beat Manchester United has put them at a disadvantage in qualifying from the group, but Van Gaal is unlikely to be soft on Kaiserslautern again.

At the same time, next year marks Barcelona's centenary celebrations and the Champions League final is scheduled at the Camp Nou, which is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Barcelona to win the Champions League on their home turf at the centenary celebrations.

In order to achieve this goal, Barcelona has invested heavily in Kluivert, Zenden, Reziger, Coku and other Dutch stars this season. It was evident in the 1-1 draw at the Walter Stadium against Kaiserslautern.

It is conceivable that in the game at Camp Nou, Barcelona will definitely work hard, at all costs

After all, this is about the century-old glory and disgrace of this old powerhouse

However, Yang Cheng had to win this game, because only in this way could he and Kaiserslautern continue to go on in the Champions League, so after returning to Kaiserslautern, he immediately gathered all the team's assistants and developed a detailed game strategy around the upcoming trip to Camp Nou.

Three days later, the team beat Schalke 04 4-0 at home, showing good form before the decisive battle.

On December 1, the team challenged Oberhausen away from the Bundesliga, and with goals from Deco and Deisler, they defeated the opponent 2-0 and successfully entered the semi-finals of the German Cup.

However, four days later, in the 16th round, the team challenged Duisburg away, and Kaiserslautern, who played as a substitute, drew 1:1 with the opponent.

Bayern beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 away to remain at the top of the league table.

Kaiserslautern picked up another draw to stretch the gap to Bayern Munich by nine points and move down to third place in the league, one point behind Bayer Leverkusen and two ahead of fourth-placed Borussia Dortmund.

But Yang Cheng didn't care, he put almost all his mind on the game at Camp Nou.

…………

It was raining in the sky, and the window glass of the bus was covered with a thin layer of mist.

"It's really raining," Yang Cheng said with a faint smile

Both Kaiserslautern and Barcelona are particular about technical details, and although Kaiserslautern can't compete with Barcelona in this regard, at the very least, the team will not suffer in this regard, so it is difficult to say who will take advantage of it on a rainy day.

It's a city by the sea, it's raining, the air is sticky, it's uncomfortable, and it's December again, it's winter, and the players are wearing long-sleeved jerseys, so it's estimated that it will still have a little bit of an impact. "Wait a minute, let the players all wear their jerseys and get familiar with the field," Yang Cheng advised.

From afar, you can see the Camp Nou, an almost behemoth in the city of Barcelona.

The bus turns into a narrow street and enters the car park at Camp Nou through the back door.

In front is the Camp Nou, on the left is a basketball court, on the right is a small football field, and then in the past is a triangle, which is the famous La Masia training center, where Xavi and Sellades in the Barcelona team came out, and in a few years, Messi, Cescaregas, Iniesta and others will also be the same.

As soon as the Kaiserslautern bus came to a stop, more than a dozen Barcelona fans suddenly appeared outside the back door, braving the rain and screaming at the Kaiserslautern bus.

"We're going to get you back to Germany"

"Kaiserslautern bastards, you're going to regret coming to Barcelona"

Yang Cheng and the players got off the bus, looked at the group of fans blocked by the iron gate, ignored them, and walked directly into the Camp Nou under the leadership of the staff.

The design of the Camp Nou is difficult to install a roof, so even if you walk into the court, it is still raining, but the drainage system of the Camp Nou is good, Yang Cheng specially pressed the turf, there is not much water, it will not have much impact, after all, the rain is not heavy.

"Unless Barcelona sprinkle more water tomorrow, that's probably it" Tim? After Hank inspected the turf, he was satisfied with the facilities of one of the top courses in Europe.

"It is estimated that Barcelona must be snickering at this time, after all, this kind of weather and turf conditions are more favorable for them" Moniz walked over from the side with a smile, and just went to see the situation of the players, there should not be much obstacle.

Although Kaiserslautern is located inland, there have been a lot of rain battles, and he knew that it might rain before, so Yang Cheng also specially arranged to water the stadium and practice the rain battles.

"Then let them smash their glasses," Yang Cheng smiled confidently.

Everyone immediately laughed along, obviously more confident in this game.

"The Camp Nou stadium is very long and wide, so the players are more familiar with it, especially the crosses from the two wings and the reception from the middle," Yang Cheng emphatically reminded of this.

The assistants all nodded their heads, and Yang Cheng also walked over to watch the players familiarize themselves with the field.

Since there must be Barcelona's eyes peeping somewhere on the pitch at this moment, Yang Cheng only conducted some simple familiarization exercises, and did not involve the team's technical and tactical links.

After getting acquainted with the Camp Nou, everyone was back in the car park.

What is a little surprising is that those stubborn fans are still there, and there seem to be a few more, and when they saw the Kaiserslautern players come out, there was a burst of swearing and humiliation.

boarded the bus and slowly drove out of the parking lot, the fans on both sides were still shouting, but no one would take them to heart, but went straight back to the hotel.

…………

…………

As if knowing the key to tomorrow's game, so this night, Heidi? Krum, Natalie? Portman and Sienna? Miller called separately to care, and Yang Cheng was lying on the bed in the hotel room, boredly dancing on the TV station while talking on the phone.

Football is the most popular sport in Spain after bullfighting, so the hotel's pay TV station is full of football programs, including Spanish TV stations and some foreign TV stations.

Without exception, the vast majority of TV stations are watching tomorrow's battle at Camp Nou

Yang Cheng went to take a shower after chatting on the phone, and when he came out, he was wearing a bathrobe. ..., recently with Heidi? Krum got acquainted, and he gradually got into the habit of sleeping naked.

"Elisabeta, I heard you're a fan?" While Yang Cheng was wiping his wet hair with a towel, an Italian TV program was playing on the TV.

This is a TV station that Yang Cheng just jumped out at random.

"Yes," a pleasant female voice came out.

"Have you loved football for a long time?". The host of the talk show asked.

"Well, strictly speaking, it was in the last two years, after coming to Milan, that I became obsessed with football"

"It's true that it's all about football, so if you work for Media at the moment, do you like AC Milan because of that? Or is it more rebellious and likes their arch-rivals Inter? ”

When Yang Cheng heard this, he just wiped his hair, and smiled secretly in his heart, Mediaset is Berlusconi's TV company, and Berlusconi is the president of AC Milan, he just wants to see how this woman named Elizabetta answers.

Looking at the TV, I saw an Italian beauty wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of skinny jeans.

"No, it's neither," replied Elisabeta with a smile, she didn't look very old, about twenty.

"Neither?" This answer is indeed somewhat surprising.

"Strictly speaking, I don't like the team"

"Oh, and you like football stars?" The host asked curiously.

Of course, this kind of talk show is to please the audience by digging up some privacy as much as possible, especially Elizabetta, who has risen very quickly in the Italian fashion industry and television media fields recently, and is known as the first beauty in Italy? Canaris.

"No," Canalis replied, still smiling.

The host immediately put his hand on the table, "So what do you like about football?" I think I'm interested with all the fans and want to know, let's talk, be bold."

Maybe it was the host's encouragement, or maybe Canalis really wanted to say, and she muttered for a moment, "I like a manager"

"Huh?" The host was stunned for a moment, the head coach of Serie A is currently controlled by a group of young guys.

"Strictly speaking, he's not the head coach of a Serie A team," Canalis hastened to explain.

"La Liga?" The moderator asked.

Canalis shook her head with a reserved smile a slight restraint.

"Bundesliga?" The moderator asked again.

This time Canalis hesitated and nodded.

"Oh, I see, the most handsome Bundesliga manager, right?" The host suddenly realized.

When Yang Cheng heard this, he thought a little narcissistically in his heart, wouldn't he be talking about me? Not a lot of words

Who knows that Canalis nodded again, "Yes, I like Yang Cheng I like Yang Cheng very, very much in my heart, he is not only a very good, even a great head coach, but also a very charismatic man, he is the most special one in the field of football, I am simply fascinated by him, I will dream of him"

Between the words, Canalis looked serious, and there was no sign of any joke.

"Is this a show of affection for you?" The moderator asked with a smile.

Canalis nodded, she didn't mind, because this kind of overt show of affection was a lot in Italian TV shows.

"That will definitely appear in the entertainment section of tomorrow's newspaper, but unfortunately, Mr. Yang Cheng must have been busy lately, and he must not have time to watch our program, otherwise, he will definitely hear your confession," the host smiled.

At the time of the recording of the show, Kaiserslautern was undoubtedly at a low point, losing to Manchester United and Bayern Munich successively. ..., "I have confidence in him that he will be able to lead Kaiserslautern back to the fore, he is an incredible man"

After listening to this, the host immediately laughed, "I believe that it is not only you, but countless female fans all over the world think that he is, but unfortunately, there is only one Yang Cheng, so I don't know whose bed it will fall in."

This kind of slightly suggestive speech is still very popular with the audience.

"As long as he beckons, I'm willing," Canalis suddenly took over, very bold and direct.

Yang Cheng smiled wryly in front of the TV, a little proud, but he didn't know what was going on with him, and he actually got into this kind of thing.

But it's normal, as his fame rises, even in Germany, there are some women who are eager to become famous who do everything possible to get involved with him, but it is really the first time that Canaris has publicly confessed on TV.

After this part of the confession, what followed were some dispensable conversations, Yang Cheng watched it for a while, and felt bored, so he jumped to other TV stations, and after watching it for a while, he simply turned off the TV and went to sleep directly.

Go to bed early, you can wake up early tomorrow and have more energy to deal with tomorrow's decisive battle at Camp Nou.

This is a decisive battle between the two teams in the group, but Yang Cheng has made full preparations for this game, and he is not worried about tomorrow's game at all.

If someone asks him at this time who will win tomorrow's game, then he will definitely answer without hesitation, Kaiserslautern ......,
