New Oriental (Upper)

  Leverkusen and Kaiserslautern can be said to be the most famous brothers in the Bundesliga this season, both of which are well-known old Bundesliga teams, especially Kaiserslautern, a typical non-relegation team in the Bundesliga. Since becoming one of the 16 founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963, Kaiserslautern has never been relegated.

  Since entering the 90s, Kaiserslautern first won the club's first Bundesliga championship in '91 and also had stable results in the following years, which can be considered a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga. However, this season the team has encountered the lowest point since the club was founded.

  Although the team won the German Cup under Krawietz's leadership, securing a place in the European Cup Winners' Cup for next season, the team was relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time in history, which is absolutely a great shame for Kaiserslautern. The one who trampled Kaiserslautern into hell was Leverkusen.

  The pharmaceutical factory's Bundesliga performance this season is also depressing, the team's record has been hovering in the relegation zone, not as good as it was in the past decade or so. If they hadn't won against Kaiserslautern at the Hartberg Stadium in the last round, they would have had to suffer in the 2nd Bundesliga.

  The most heartbreaking thing is that at the end of this relegation battle, Woller and Schuster can finally breathe a sigh of relief because they can end their careers with dignity. However, Bremer, an old general of Kaiserslautern and one of the three musketeers, was not so lucky. He had to suffer the torture of Kaiserslautern's relegation at the end of his career and burst into tears on the spot.

  It was because of the team's relegation that Bremer decided to postpone his retirement plans, and he hoped to witness Kaiserslautern's return with his own eyes in the last moment of his career.

  As for W?ller, he successfully entered the management of Leverkusen.

  This time, the two people from Leverkusen who came to see Yang Chen were Karl-Heinz Vollrath, the general manager of the club, and Rudi Voller, the technical director.

  Yang Chen transferred from Leipzig back to Chemnitz and met with Leverkusen at the first time.

  In his view, Leverkusen is still a Bundesliga team and the club has great strength, with Bayer as its backing company, it's absolutely a place where he can play to his strengths. Moreover, with the departure and retirement of several key players from Leverkusen, this team will face a reshuffle in the new season.

  For a young marshal like Yang Cheng, shuffling the deck is his best chance to control the team. On the other hand, if players like Woller and Schuster were still around, he would have to be more cautious.

  Karl-Heinz M?ller also attended the professional coaches' party, where he personally heard Beckenbauer and the DFB president praise Yang Chen, and from their conversation and behavior, he could see that Yang Chen had a good ability, so he brought Woller over to meet him.

  This was just the initial contact, and Karl-Heinz Feldkamp did not give Yang Chen too many promises, only affirming Yang Chen's coaching achievements in Chemnitz, while also asking about his views on Leverkusen.

  "I think that Leverkusen doesn't need a major overhaul for the new season, players like Kiessling, Volland, Leno and Bender are among the best in the Bundesliga, if they make some targeted signings in other positions, they can significantly improve the team's strength."

  "The focus of reinforcement, I think, is in the midfield. Currently, Leverkusen has a strong forward line, but they have not been able to create chances, scoring only 37 goals throughout the season, ranking third from the bottom in the Bundesliga, only slightly better than Kaiserslautern and Uerdingen. This absolutely should not happen, so midfield reinforcement is imperative!"

  "As for the backline, timely reinforcement is necessary, but the foundation cannot be moved!"

  Bayer Leverkusen conceded only 38 goals in the Bundesliga in the 1995-96 season, making them the second-best defensive team in the league.

  Yang Cheng's analysis can only be said to be mediocre, and Karl Mundt and Woller can also see the team's problems, especially Woller, who was a player before, how could he not see the team's current situation?

  "Do you think that a lack of attacking power is the reason why midfielders can't create chances?" Karl Mundt asked.

  Yang Cheng nodded confidently, "Yes, Kelsen's strength is absolutely not to be doubted!"

  "But he's already 30 years old..." Karl Mundt reminded.

  Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Some players are still the most outstanding even when they play until 40 years old, Klose is one of them!" It's not hard to hear Yang Cheng's appreciation for Klose in his words.

  No one knows better than him how Kirsten will perform in the next few years!

  After a three-person confidential conversation, Yang Cheng also roughly analyzed his tactical ideas to Kalmund and Vollrath, saying that if he took charge of Leverkusen, he was confident that he could thoroughly reform Leverkusen.

  "If I were to take charge of Leverkusen, the pharmaceutical team in the new season will not just be fighting for relegation, because that is definitely not my goal. I hope to have a bigger breakthrough, whether it's in the league or even on the European stage!"

  Karl Munde and Voller exchanged a glance, both sensing the confidence in Yang's heart.

  "What about management?" Karl Mundt asked with concern.

  "I need the greatest power of the first team, including the transfer market, this is my requirement. Because I always think that a team wants to exert its strongest combat effectiveness, it needs the support of all aspects of the club and the concentration of as much power as possible!"

  Yang Chen's words made Woller's face sink, he was the technical director of the club, part of whose power included the transfer market. If the power to transfer were all given to Yang Chen, wouldn't that mean his own power would be divided?

  Yang Cheng looked at Karl-Heinz M?ller, who didn't notice W?ller, although he recognized this future German head coach, but he could see that at this time W?ller was just an advisor to M?ller.

  "My football creed is attacking and total, I believe everyone who has seen Chemnitz play can see that, and I can promise you, as long as you trust me, I will bring you rich returns, just like what I did in Chemnitz!"

  After hearing this, Karl Mund clearly had some movement in his heart, because what Yang Cheng did in Chemnitz was indeed too stunning, 13 consecutive wins are not something that can be achieved just by being lucky, it absolutely requires strength to guarantee!

  However, Worrall seemed cautious, even a bit repelled.
