The head coach is not good at it! (continued)

  Nedved raised his hands high, but was immediately knocked down to the ground by a flying Barrack.

  The players rushed up one by one and pulled Barak and Nedved, who were lying on the ground, to their feet, hugging each other tightly with excitement.

  After going through the previous 75 minutes, you sacrificed for me and I blocked the gun eye for you. At this moment, all the players have tightly connected themselves with their teammates, becoming an indivisible whole.

  Nedved's face turned sour, especially when he saw the score on the scoreboard change from 0 to 1 for Kaiserslautern. He really had an urge to cry, then he saw Yang Chen on the sidelines, who was applauding and giving him a thumbs up.

  At this moment, Nedved suddenly surged with a strong impulse, and his position was close to Yang Cheng, so he rushed over and tightly hugged his head coach.

  This scene was captured by the live TV camera, and at the same time, many Kaiserslautern players nearby also rushed up, including Ballack, Beierlorzer, Fritz... ...and finally Bremer, but they were not as excited as Ballack, they just stood on the periphery.

  "Hey guys, calm down, damn it, all of you calm down!" Yang Cheng realized he was about to be overwhelmed with emotion and excitement, and made every effort to steady his own emotions.

  "Listen up!" He waited until all the players were looking at him before speaking, but his eyes still shone with a hint of tears. "The game isn't over yet, got it? The game isn't over yet!"

  His voice was trembling, and he was obviously extremely excited at this moment.

  "We can't be careless, the opponent is Dortmund, but this goal gives us more capital, so we need to defend this score well next, do you still remember what I told you?"

  "Remember!" Barack and others replied in unison.

  "I am for everyone, and everyone is for me! At this moment, the sacrifices and efforts you make for your teammates, in the next moment, your teammates will also make the same sacrifices and efforts for you, or even more!"

  "We are one body, we are indivisible!" Yang Cheng patted Nedved and Barak's shoulders forcefully.

  "Let's go, taking advantage of this momentum, we don't just want to hold on to this one point, we also want to take another city by storm!"

  "Good!" The players shouted in unison.

  …………

  …………

  Although Yang Cheng thought it was beautiful, he also felt that the 1:0 score was not safe enough, but there was no way, the opponent was Dortmund, and his direct opponent in this game was Hitzfeld.

  Hiddink immediately realized he had made a very subtle mistake after the team conceded a goal, but was caught by Yang Zhi's sharpness, so he immediately made adjustments and replaced two people in one breath.

  One was Heinrich, who was physically exhausted, and the other was Lambert, whose performance was average. The two substitutes were Krieger and Hailerich, a striker who strengthened the attack.

  Dortmund made two substitutions in one go, although the scene was a bit chaotic, but also created several crises, making Yang Chen on the sidelines quite nervous.

  As the system reminded Yang Cheng, Baylong's physical strength was no longer sufficient. Yang Cheng knew he couldn't gamble anymore and immediately replaced Baylong with Thomas Riedl, a local defender who had performed well in the youth team, to have the team retreat to three lines of defense.

  Five minutes later, Yang Cheng used up his last substitution quota, replacing Marshall with Van Nistelrooy who joined the team this season.

  Both teams made consecutive substitutions and adjustments, and both created several dangerous situations. Dortmund had a very threatening shot rejected by the post, while Kaiserslautern got an opportunity in the penalty area, but Van Nistelrooy hesitated slightly after trapping the ball, seemingly considering the angle, and was intercepted by Kohler.

  Yang Cheng saw Fan Ni miss a good opportunity on the sidelines and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

  Don't look at Van Nistelrooy, who will be famous in a few years and is known as the king of the small restricted area. In fact, he is still very bad now, and even if we consider his strength on the front line, he is far inferior to Marshall and Pavel Kuka, because he has not yet transitioned from a midfielder to a forward.

  It was just like the last time, his save was excellent and he indeed stopped the ball in a good position, but then he slowed down half a beat, hesitated for a moment, and directly led to Koller's successful steal.

  If he could have been more direct and shot with his foot at that time, maybe the ball would have gone in, and the score would have been 2-0, and Dortmund would have been completely desperate.

  Of course, Yang Cheng can also see that Fan Ni indeed has the qualities of a good forward, such as his ball control and basic skills, as well as his judgment of the ball route and positional sense. It is estimated that this is related to his previous experience playing as a sweeper, center-back, and midfielder, so he performs well in these aspects.

  Trapping is one of the essential skills for a forward, because only with excellent trapping can you stop the ball at will and then continue to the next action calmly.

  But Vanni's shortcoming is that he still lacks a sense of being a top striker.

  It's not that he doesn't have a sense of smell, because he actually has enough of it, otherwise the opportunity just now wouldn't have arisen. It's just that he hasn't yet become a forward.

  Yang Cheng really wanted to help him establish the current sharp feeling, because he deeply believed that as long as Fan Ni rose, he would be Kaiserslautern's undisputed first striker and most reliable scorer, but he didn't know how to help Fan Ni.

  And Varnie's body is a bit too thin, just now being squeezed by Koller and losing his position. His ability to fight back is really much worse than Koller's, and not as good as Marshall and Pavel Kuka in the team.

  In short, young and promising, but quite immature, with many shortcomings, needing refinement and progress!

  Now the club is full of troubles, there are problems with the integration of new players like Bellon, Denilson's adaptation problem, and Daisler's aloofness, Yang Cheng just thinks that being a head coach is not easy!

  …………

  …………

  Each has its own opportunities, but undoubtedly, after being scored a goal, Dortmund's momentum was indeed much weaker, which also directly led to the players being somewhat anxious and passive on the field.

  In addition, Yang Cheng replaced Riedel to strengthen the defense. This young player from the youth training is still quite capable, with very fierce defensive skills. Although he's not tall, he has a strong and fierce personality, which is what Yang Cheng saw in him and brought him into the starting lineup. It's said that he was promoted by Klinsmann last season.

  Klinsmann is an average head coach, but his ability to promote and polish young players is still good.

  With Riedle and Gattuso in the midfield, along with Ballack and Nedved, Kaiserslautern's defense immediately became solid. Although Dortmund organized many attacks, they had lost their momentum and Kaiserslautern was able to counterattack steadily, so Dortmund was unable to equalize the score in the end.

  When the main referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Carl-Benz Stadium erupted.

  2 hours ago, all the fans came to the stadium with a mentality of watching Dortmund slaughter their opponents, but 2 hours later, it was Dortmund that got slaughtered instead.

  The situation on the football field is indeed changing rapidly, but Kaiserslautern's performance in this game is absolutely stunning, especially the debut of head coach Yang Chen, which is almost flawless.

  Facing the powerful Dortmund, facing Hitzfeld who has more experience, qualifications and ability than him, Yang Chen not only did not show any fear, but also organized an effective defensive system, and formulated targeted strategies and tactics, especially in the second half counterattack, which showed his determination to win this game.

  No specific pre-match training, how can players play so smoothly in the match?

  Although they lost the game, Hitzfeld still walked over with style, smiling all the way as he looked at Yang Chen, and then politely hugged this young Chinese head coach.

  "You've done a great job, you guys really deserved to win this game!" Heathfield had to admit it, although he was not willing to.

  From this game, he saw not only the team's shortcomings but also his own inadequacies in some aspects.

  "Thank you!" Yang accepted Hissfeld's praise with modesty but without reserve.

  Heissfeld saw his calm and collected demeanor, with a few more points of appreciation in his eyes, "I believe that the next season's Bundesliga should be able to see the Red Devils' figure again, by then, I will definitely not lose again!"

  Yang Cheng also burst out laughing, he won the first trophy of his coaching career, his mood was absolutely exciting, but facing Heissfeld's challenge, he didn't show any weakness either, "Me too! Next time we meet Dortmund, we will still go all out for victory!"

  Hitzfeld sized up the young head coach, who was so young that he was even younger than many of his players, but there seemed to be a quality about him that made it impossible to underestimate him, and that was the self-confidence on his face.

  "Your performance on the field is impressive, but your operations in the transfer market are also astonishing. You have acquired a batch of excellent players. I'm really looking forward to our next encounter, don't disappoint me!"

  With an encouraging provocation, Heathfield smiled and turned around to leave after nudging Yang Cheng.

  Losing this Super Cup is indeed a pity, but he has long passed the stage where he would be affected by a single cup competition!
