  "I know you've been thinking about the game lately and I know you're really busy, but please consider the club for once. The number of media and journalists calling to invite you for an exclusive interview is countless, and the faxes are like snowflakes, we can't keep up either. If you continue to remain silent on the news and refuse interviews, it's not good for the club's image!"

  On the training ground in Chemnitz, Dirksmeier's tone was overly good, almost pleading with Yang Chen to accept an interview with the media.

  Taking Dirksmeier's attitude into consideration, Yang Cheng reluctantly accepted the list handed over to him and found that the form was filled with appointments, "Are these all lists of people who want to do interviews?"

  Dielsmeier smiled, looking at Yang Chen with some envy, but in his heart he was secretly proud of his own discerning eye for talent. After Kurna left, Yang Chen took over and led Chemnitz to three consecutive victories, immediately becoming a hero in the city and gaining fame in German football circles.

  Just thinking about it being his own achievement made Dielsmidt hard to conceal his pride.

  Now even when he goes to talk to those bankers and rich people about sponsorship and investment, they don't refuse as quickly as before. Many of them have expressed willingness to consider it, obviously also hoping to see Chemnitz avoid relegation, all thanks to Yang Chen.

  "There are about fifty media outlets that have made appointments, but I also know you don't have time, so we've discussed it and you can just pick one to accept an interview, the rest we'll help arrange for you!"

  Yang Chengyi was fine at first, but it was just one family interview, if he had to deal with so many, how could he bear it.

  According to the list on the table, Yang Cheng was quickly attracted by a name on the table, Kemnitz Free Press intern reporter, Gran Nak.

  "Settled then!" Yang Cheng said, pointing at Gran Nak's name. "The time is set for tomorrow noon."

  Yang Cheng is now the hero of this city, no matter what his next achievement will be, at least for now he is. So Gran Nak has to accommodate Yang Cheng's schedule, and he is even grateful because Dilsmeier told him that Yang Cheng sacrificed his own lunch break to accept his exclusive interview.

  When Gran Nak arrived punctually at Yang Cheng's office, this Chinese man was waiting for him with a faint smile.

  "We meet again, Mr. Reporter!" Yang Cheng smiled and stood up to greet him.

  Gren Nac's polite response greatly improved his impression of Yang Cheng, as he began to understand why Yang Cheng had chosen him from among so many journalists. It wasn't because Gren was with the large newspaper company, Kamenitz Free Press, nor was it because he had connections with the Kamenitz Club. Rather, it was because he was repaying a debt to himself.

  When he was not famous, Glen Nak was the last one to stay and seriously did his first life interview. Now that he is famous, I will repay him in this way.

  "You are a man of great loyalty and righteousness, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Gran Nak exclaimed as soon as he sat down.

  Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Although he wasn't someone who liked to hear flattery, hearing it occasionally still made him feel pretty good. 'If you have any questions, just ask away!'"

  Gran Nak nodded and took out his own notebook, on which he had already listed many questions, all of which he had filled in yesterday and today to remind himself.

  "I'd like to ask Mr. Yang Cheng, do you still remember when I interviewed you earlier and you mentioned your goals? At that time, you were new to the scene and nobody believed in you, with many people even questioning you. Did you ever doubt yourself back then?"

  Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, never!"

  After a pause, Yang Cheng seemed somewhat dissatisfied and added: "I have never been good at doubting and denying myself!"

  "So your goal now is still the same as before?"

  "Yes, 39 minutes, we've already got 9 points, Mr. Gran Nak!" Yang Cheng said with a confident smile.

  "Congratulations to you, Chemnitz can be said to be the team that performed best in the last three rounds of the German 2nd Bundesliga. How do you evaluate your own team? If you were to give a score, how many points would you give to your team?"

  "10 out of 10, full marks, because I couldn't ask for more from my players!" Yang Cheng blurted out without thinking, "Just like I said before, we are a very strong team, it's just that we had some unexpected things happen to us in the past, but now we're back on track."

  "Would you mind telling me what method you used?" Granack asked curiously.

  I believe this is also the voice of everyone who cares about Chemnitz.

  "I am not a freak as some newspapers described, nor a Superman, nor can I do magic. I just tell my players to go out and play a good game of football, how to be a strong unit."

  Gran Nakamura nodded in agreement: "Overall, I've found that many media outlets have been using this term to describe Chemnitz recently, praising their overall play as being very cohesive."

  "I think all teams should be like this, it's the future trend of football development!" Yang Cheng said confidently again.

  "What about the players?" Gran Nak asked again.

  Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "You just said it yourself, we're playing total football, so if the team performs well, naturally every player is performing well. Otherwise, where does the whole come from?"

  Gran Nakamura knew that Yang Chen didn't want to evaluate players individually, but he wasn't very willing either.

  "How to evaluate Ju Qiao? He scored 6 goals in the last 3 rounds of the league, and his state is as good as it gets. However, when he was interviewed, he mentioned that his outstanding performance relies on your guidance, can you explain?"

  Yang Cheng didn't know that Ju Qiao had said such a thing to the reporter, which made him somewhat surprised, but his good impression of Ju Qiao grew deeper, especially when this player continued to score goals on the field.

  "I didn't point out anything to him, he is a top-notch player himself, was and still is, at most I just reminded him of some things that he might have forgotten."

  "For example?" Granack asked with interest.

  "For example, I reminded him that every player should leave something unforgettable for himself in his career, not goals, not championships, but something special, so that when he retires and looks back, he will always smile sincerely."

  "I believe this sentence is not only suitable for Torres, but also for every professional player!"

  Glen Nuck was taken aback, he didn't expect that Yang Cheng, who looked so young, could say such a philosophical and profound truth, which left a deep impression on him.

  "Where is Barack?"

  "He will become one of the world's top players, not just in Germany or Europe, but globally!" Yang said with a smile.

  "What about Sebastian Keil?"

  "He is also, he can become the best player on this planet!"

  "What about Luis Hut? He is now the anchor of your team's defense!"

  "He still lacks a bit of general's demeanor, but he has made enough progress already. I look forward to him becoming even more mature!"

  As Gran Nak asked one by one, Yang Cheng's answers also had encouraging and motivating nature, moderate and proper, commenting on his teammates one by one, including Fritz, Stack, Jankole, etc.

  "If at this time, you could say one thing to your players, what would you want to tell them?"

  Yang Cheng thought for a moment and smiled, "I reckon if I say it out loud, there will be countless people criticizing me for being arrogant."

  Gran Nak laughed, "I believe that after these three games, there will be a lot fewer people who think so!"

  "So I want to tell my players, guys, the 2nd Bundesliga is no longer enough for us, we should set our sights on the 1st Bundesliga next season. Next season, let's go crazy and wreak havoc in the 1st Bundesliga!"
