"It's too monotonous!" Yang Cheng sighed in his heart after watching the game for a full half hour from the stands.
The match was intense enough, but lacked finesse, and neither side created too many good chances.
"Yes, Yang Ke is indeed too dependent on his height, although it's intimidating, but he often gets frozen by opponents!" Paul Bier also agrees with Yang Cheng's view.
"Look again, Yankole is always pressing Leipzig's back line, topping at the front, while other players are repeatedly hitting the ball to his head, this kind of attacking method is too easy to defend against, if it were me, I would definitely consider letting him fall back or pull wide."
Football tactics are complex and tedious to talk about, but in actual operation, they are surprisingly simple. All tactics are for scoring goals, and the goal is always in the middle of the road, so no matter how well the sides are played, they will eventually return to the middle of the road.
The current tactics of Heifeng are like this, the sides are not bad, but the middle road is single and easy to be defended.
"If there's no change in tactics in the second half, this match is over!" Yang Cheng made a prediction.
With this sentence, the whistle for the end of the first half sounded.
He was like a raging lion, the players had not yet entered the tunnel, and he was already on the sidelines, baring his teeth and roaring at each of the players who walked off the field.
"That's typical of Klaus Nafziger's character!" Paul Bier laughed, familiarly. Many East German coaches were like that.
Yang Cheng also felt very familiar with it, as if when he was young, his parents always thought of punishing and scolding him, believing in the way of raising filial sons through beating.
"It's different now!" Yang Cheng replied calmly.
Because there are no consumption places in the home stadium of Chemnitz, fans during half-time mostly sit on the stands chatting, some also leave their seats to take a look around.
Yang Cheng and three others remained seated in their original positions, discussing the situation of the first half and making predictions for the second half.
"Yankole was new and young, unable to integrate into the team. Khrunova didn't seem to have any tactical coordination to make up for this deficiency. As a result, in the first half, Yankole and Gu Chuo had almost no cooperation on offense, making the team's attacking methods too single-minded and overly reliant on Yankole's aerial advantage."
It is said that Paul Beyer once guested as a commentator for the Chemnitz radio station's match, and upon analysis, it really makes sense.
"If it were me, I would choose to replace Yang Kuo-le in this situation!" Yang Cheng said very affirmatively.
Paul Beyer thought for a moment, and Yang Cheng's words were not surprising to him. In his opinion, Yang Cheng was a person who attached great importance to teamwork and overall coordination. Since Yang Kele's role on the field was limited, continuing to stay on the field would also make it impossible for him to play a role, so it was better to substitute him.
"Hei Fu Nai may not necessarily agree to this!" Tim said with a worried smile.
Yang Cheng furrowed his brow even deeper, he knew that Tim was very familiar with Hei Funa's character.
"Yes, his pride and consideration for face, he won't change down Yankovic, because he would think that's a kind of irony to his mistake!" Paul Bayer also sighed.
Yang Chen didn't say anything, he is a more realistic person, once he has set his sights on a goal, he won't bother with other things, but he can understand the thoughts of people like Hei Funa, just as they understand the East Germans' nearly blind arrogance and confidence in East German football.

After the players of the second half came on, Paul Beyer and Tim Hank's guess was confirmed. Korfna did not make any adjustments to his starting lineup, and Yankolei still appeared on the field.
But the course of the match did not reward him for his persistence, on the contrary, the situation seemed to be getting out of Kournikova's control.
"A player from Team A has been booked!" Yang Cheng's words hit the nail on the head.
This is Chemnitz's home stadium, and Krefeld had issued a kill order before the game, but now it has been attacking for a long time without success. Moreover, Krefeld must have been furious during the half-time break, but failed to make the correct adjustments, so the players became more and more chaotic as they played, and the more chaotic they were, the more anxious they became.
"Chemnitz is in danger!" Paul Bier also shook his head and sighed.
As expected, in the 64th minute of the second half, Chemnitz's prolonged attack failed to yield a goal, and their defense line showed vulnerabilities. Leipzig launched a counterattack, exploiting the gap in the defense line to score a goal, 0:1!
At the moment when Leipzig scored, the entire Chemnitz stadium fell silent, with only Kurnaz's furious shouting and scolding of Alatchi being heard on the sidelines. In the quieted stadium, his curses stood out even more, all of which were unpleasant swear words.
Yang Cheng and Paul Bier exchanged a glance, both seeing the bitter smile in each other's eyes.
It was unexpected that after several years of tempering in the German league, Kurna did not make any progress at all, and still insisted on the set of East German football era. Unbeknownst to him, this method is no longer feasible in today's society.
In less than 10 minutes, Alatchi made a mistake in a tense stoppage, misplacing the ball to the opponent's forward, resulting in another counterattack and scoring a goal, 0:2!
When Leipzig scored two goals in a row, Yang Chen stood up first.
"There's no need to continue watching this game, Kuroba is definitely going to lose!"
Paul Beyer also stood up, shaking his head helplessly and sighing, following Tim Hanks in front of and behind Yang Cheng, leaving the field first.

Chemnitzer FC 0:2 lost at home to RB Leipzig!
As soon as the game was over, this news spread rapidly throughout the streets of Chemnitz, and even the local radio station immediately commented on and summarized the match.
"There's no doubt that we had the upper hand in this match, just as Mr. Reinhard Korfmann said, we played better than our opponents, and yet we made only two mistakes throughout the entire game, but unfortunately they were both seized by our opponents who scored two goals, losing a match that should have been won!"
The commentator of the radio station borrowed a sentence from Kluivert's post-match interview with local free newspaper reporters to defend the head coach, in his view, this defeat was more of an accident.
"Moreover, we have introduced many new players this season, and the coordination between them is not yet tacit, which makes us dominate on the court but unable to score. However, I believe that as the league deepens, Kurnava's team will overcome various problems and perform better and better!"
In Paul Beyer's sports goods store, Yang Cheng, Tim and Paul Beyer listened to the radio commentary with wry smiles on their faces, especially Yang Cheng.
"TMD, compared to Hei Furen, I'm not even worthy of one of his fingers!" Yang Cheng cursed with a smile.
He lost just a warm-up match and was criticized by the media and fans, but Kuroba lost an official match against their arch-rivals, yet everyone is trying to downplay it and even making excuses for him. How can Yang Cheng bear this?
"In fact, even if this game were replayed, Kurnava would still lose!" Paul Bayer said with great certainty.
Sometimes on the football field is very accidental, but in the accident there is also a certain inevitability.
Maybe if the game were replayed, Chemnitz wouldn't necessarily lose 0:2, Leipzig's goal wasn't necessarily a counterattack or a gift from Alachotzi, but Chemnitz being defeated was predictable because Leipzig's tactics were more on track and their players performed better.
"He's in trouble, the first round at home lost to Leipzig, the second round away against Zwickau, then Meppen, Duisburg and Nuremberg, none of these teams are easy opponents!" Tim looked at the schedule in his hand with a worried expression.
A season's opening game is very important, especially for a team like Wolfsburg that isn't particularly strong and has just made some big signings. If they don't start well, it's easy to lose momentum, especially when they suffer consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, the players' morale will be lost immediately.
Perhaps an outstanding head coach can turn things around during the season, but wanting to do more is extremely difficult, especially when those newly joined teams lose their freshness, it's even harder for the team to make a comeback.
"These are not what we should worry about, Tim. You'd better think about our next opponent!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, changing the subject.
The 3. Liga and Regionalliga Nord have a denser schedule, with two matches per week, while the Regionalliga Südwest has a more relaxed schedule, with one match per week, but without a winter break as long as the 2. Bundesliga.
The winter break of the 3. Liga starts from the 18th round, which is December 9, and lasts until March 8, avoiding the entire cold winter, but the Nordost Oberliga did not have such a long break after all, it was an amateur match, so it was later than the 3. Liga. The start of the game is also a bit earlier, and the schedule arrangement is naturally more relaxed.
But loose is a good thing for Yang Cheng, at least he can take this opportunity to instill his tactical ideas into the players, so that they can better execute their tasks on the field.
A more critical issue is that Yang Cheng found that playing more games can significantly improve the players' progress, such as Barak. After a formal game, his performance in training improved, and his strength increased by 3 points to reach 123 points. Kyle, Fritz, Stack, and Louis Huth also made corresponding progress.
From this point of view, Yang Cheng feels that the boost from the competition is huge, so he wants to promote these players' progress through more competitions, as long as they are not injured or ill, let them all start!
And he believes that the players will also repay him with outstanding performance on the field!
