Yang Cheng turned around and swept his eyes over the substitute players on the bench, finally fixing them on Denilson.
The latter has been training hard every day recently, and the performance is also very good. After finishing the training every day, he will go to the equipment room for self-strengthening exercises. For this reason, Yang Cheng asked Tim and Schmidt to tailor a physical fitness enhancement plan for him. At present, no progress or results can be seen, but Denerlsen's recent state is indeed getting better and better.
"You've also seen the current situation!" Yang Cheng said in a low voice.
Denerielsen nodded heavily as he saw the team's disadvantageous situation.
"After going up, my request to you is very simple. Use your skills to get past people and then pass the ball!" Yang Chengsheng was afraid that Dener would ignore his words again, so he emphasized, "Remember, pass the ball! Lift your head and pass the ball!"
Dennilson nodded heavily, because he knew the head coach didn't have much patience. If he disobeyed his arrangement again, who knows if he could even sit on the substitute bench in the next game.
Five minutes later, Drenielsen replaced the left winger of the second team.
Wehley Ramalho was naturally known to this Brazilian, because it was he who earned a penalty for Kaiserslautern with his skill and eliminated Bielefeld.
"Yang Cheng is being substituted in at this time, it's clear that he's going to be used to strengthen the offense, mark him!" Willie Rayman warned.
But many times, special reminders have not played their due role.
After several consecutive touches of the ball forming a one-on-one situation, Denilson again received the ball on the left flank in the 76th minute.
This time he faced the defender, calmly made a single bike action, deceived the defender and directly prepared to enter from the left corner of the penalty area. The central defender of Wolfsburg immediately rushed up, but Denilson suddenly changed direction and turned back to the left side of the penalty area.
Four players, including the right-back and centre-back from Wolfsburg, a withdrawn left winger and a deep-lying midfielder, all closed in on him because they had been mesmerized by Denilson's dazzling footwork.
As a result, the stadium saw an incredible scene where a player wearing a red jersey attracted 4 defenders to follow him, while the penalty area was empty.
"It's simply astonishing, Drenthe's dribbling skills are breathtaking, he's almost like a magician!"
But on the sidelines, Yang Cheng's face was gloomy enough to scrape off a layer of frost, because he saw that there were opportunities all over the penalty area, but Dernilsen took the ball to the left sideline.
Four defenders surrounded him, is there still a chance?
"This kid is really incorrigible!" Yang Cheng said fiercely.
Just as he thought Drenthe was going to lose the ball, he suddenly made a quick stop and the ball seemed to stick to his feet. With one pull and one push, it went directly from under the crotch of a defender and he dodged four players' siege, then passed the ball to the middle with one foot.
Marshall had been waiting for the opportunity and as soon as he saw Drenthe's pass, he immediately inserted himself and scored with a low shot!
"1:1! Kaiserslautern's tenacious equalized the score!"
"Denilson's performance was simply outstanding, 4 players couldn't stop him, he was an unbelievable magician on the court, his dribbling skills made spectators feel dizzy, let alone the players on the court!"
"Since the last match, Denilson has been very active and has changed the attacking situation of Kaiserslautern as soon as he came on. He almost became the key man for Kaiserslautern!"
Yang Chen let out a sigh of relief when Ma Chao scored that goal and cursed with a smile: "Damn it, this bastard!"
Paul Bayle burst out laughing, "But this kid has made progress, at least he finally understands how to assist!"
After leveling the score, Kaiserslautern launched a wave of high-intensity attacks, especially on the left flank. Daxler frequently staged technical breakthroughs, making the live fans watch with relish. However, Wolfsburg's defenders were miserable, finding that once the ball was under Daxler's feet, it seemed to come alive and they couldn't stop it.
However, Drenthe seemed to have opened up after having an assist, always lifting his head while dribbling and choosing to pass the ball whenever he found an opportunity, creating many chances and becoming the most threatening player on the field for Kaiserslautern.
"Willy Lehmann seems to be determined to hold on till the end!" Yang Cheng was somewhat indignant, he hated it most when others held on stubbornly.
Paul Bayle smiled wryly, Kaiserslautern had gone crazy after Denilson came on, and now they were still hoping for Willy Reimann to take the initiative.
Yang Cheng walked a few steps forward slowly and came to the edge of the field, waving his hand at the players on the field, "Don't slack off, keep up the pressure!"
Time is running out, and the score remains 1:1, but Yang Cheng is still not satisfied.
What I want is a victory!
In the 82nd minute, Yang Chen replaced Gattuso with Van Nistelrooy and conveyed this instruction to the players.
Every player of Kaizer Chiefs looks to the side of the field and can see Yang Chen standing on the sidelines with his arms around him, they can all deeply feel that Yang Chen's determination will not relax until the last moment!
Van Ni ran to the front point and came to Marshall's side, "Olaf, the captain said, wait for us to retreat a bit more and pull out the opponent's defense!"
Ma Shao was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth to support his body. He was no longer young, and his physical function had declined significantly compared to his youth. Recently, he had been playing two games a week, and his physical strength was already exhausted. At this moment, anyone could push him down, but he still nodded stubbornly in agreement.
After the restart, Marshall, who had originally looked like he was already at his limit, immediately launched a counter-attack in the front court after the ball came out. He and Van Nistelrooy frequently harassed Wolfsburg's back line.
The ball was exchanged back and forth on the field, with both sides engaging in intense scrambling.
Nedved made a tackle in front of the penalty area during a defensive retreat, knocking down the opponent's attacking player with the ball, but the referee indicated that it was a beautiful defense without fouling.
While the Wolfsburg players were entangled in whether it was a foul or not, Nedved got up with the ball and made a direct breakthrough to the midfield, passing it to Beron, who immediately pushed it to Ballack.
At this time, the two former forwards Marshall and Van Nistelrooy suddenly retreated, Ballack made a high-speed breakthrough in the front court, actively cooperated with Van Nistelrooy to make a 2-1 wall pass, and then lifted the ball to the left.
Denilson, who had been wandering on the sidelines all along, suddenly cut into the penalty area at some point, and after receiving the ball, he made a fake move to shake off the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal!
"Beautiful! The ball is in!!"
"It's Dener again!!"
"In the 89th minute, when the game was in its final moments, Kayserispor produced a brilliant team move, which ended with Denílson scoring from the left side of the goal, changing the score to 1:2!"
After the goal, Denilson jumped up from the ground and ran all the way to the left corner flag, panting heavily, turned back, but was tightly hugged by Barak who came from behind, followed by Van Nistelrooy, Marshall and others.
The players went up one by one to celebrate the goal with Denilson, and this Brazilian youngster's performance in this game was indeed excellent, whether it was individual brilliance or teamwork, he had an outstanding performance.
Yang Cheng smiled and looked at the players gathered together on the left side of the flag, and Denilson did not disappoint him!
"It seems this kid has really opened up!" Paul Bayer said with a smile.
"It's still hard to say, but at least in terms of teamwork, he's done a pretty good job!" Yang Cheng said with reluctance.
"Have you figured out the starting lineup for the next away game against Red Star Belgrade?"
Yang Cheng nodded, the home team was tied 0-0 by Belgrade Red Star, he felt too depressed, had been holding back his anger for a long time, now naturally hoping to teach their opponents a lesson on away field.
"Kai'er is still young, I'm afraid when facing Belgrade Red Star team, he can't bear the pressure, it's best if Lutz can play!" Yang Cheng thinks Kai'er lacks experience and can't hold on at critical moments.
If it's an attacking player, then it's okay, but if it's a defensive player, then it's not!
The mainstay of this Belgrade Red Star team is Stankovic, who has already shown strength and maturity that belies his 18 years.
If Yang Cheng remembers correctly, in the original history, the Kaiserslautern team coached by Rehhagel was tied 0-0 at home and then slaughtered 4-0 away by Belgrade Red Star led by Stankovic, miserably leaving the European Cup.
But now Kaiserslautern's head coach is Yang Chen, and since he already knew all this, then Yang Chen would definitely not let himself make the same mistake again.
As Yang Cheng was thinking, the main referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Kaiserslautern came from behind to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 away with a goal and an assist from Erik Mykland, reclaiming top spot in the league.
Yang Cheng still stood in front of the player tunnel after each game, hugging the players to thank them for their hard work during the match.
"How are you feeling?" Yang Cheng asked, leaning in close to Dener's ear.
De Nielsen grasped Yang Cheng's hand tightly, took two steps back and grinned, "Not bad, I think I'm starting to like this feeling!"
Yang Cheng comfortingly smiled and patted Danielson's shoulder in encouragement before turning to hug the next player.
