This game, he still let Gatuzo play the role of destroyer, but focused on Stankovic. After several games, Gatuzo also fully grasped Yang Chen's requirements for him.

  He is a midfielder with a very wide range of activity, as long as he is in the middle and front field. Once he fails to intercept the opponent's ball, he will directly foul and disrupt the opponent's game rhythm, letting everything return to zero, also allowing Kaiserslautern to have enough time to organize defense.

  Don't underestimate this point, with Gatuso and without Gatuso, Kaiser's defensive strength has a big difference, especially when Gatuso is making progress and performing better and better.

  Although the scene was back and forth, Kaiserslautern controlled the advantage. Red Star team also tried hard to regain control, but unfortunately, once they got the ball, Kaiserslautern always found a way to disrupt their attacking rhythm.

  Stankovic was even more depressed, because that Italian guy was like a leech, always moving around him, couldn't shake him off, but he just couldn't deal with him.

  "As long as we have control in our hands, this game is definitely won!" Yang Cheng smiled with full confidence.

  Paul Baier also thought that Yang Cheng's idea was on the right track, and as the game went on, Kaiserslautern's advantage became more and more obvious, and they all gained more and more confidence.

  Looking at Faraday in the distance, frowning and thinking hard about a countermeasure, but hesitating to make adjustments.

  Sometimes, a goal in a football match is actually an explosion under cumulative advantage.

  When Kaiserslautern's advantages accumulated to a certain extent, they finally scored!

  In the 21st minute, Fritz broke through on the right and passed into the middle. The ball was cleared to the left side, where Dernilsen took it and shook off a defender before hanging the ball in the penalty area from the baseline. Nedved made a diving header at the near post to score for Kaiserslautern, 0-1!

  This goal thoroughly ignited the morale of Kaiserslautern players, especially Yang Chen. He had a kind of intuition, an indescribable intuition, that the players were executing his tactics very thoroughly on the field and gaining a great advantage. If this game continued with this momentum, it might become a big win!

  There was no way to explain the source of this intuition, and Yang Cheng could only say that it was a pure feeling.

  But he still decided to give it a try!

  He then conveyed his ideas to the players on the field.

  Kaiserslautern scored again after 4 minutes!

  This time it was Bellon who, after a wall pass with Nedved in the middle of the road, passed the ball to Barak at the front of the penalty area. The latter stopped the ball and made some adjustments before shooting out a thunderous long shot, 0:2!

  Within 5 minutes, scoring two goals in a row, the morale of Kaiserslautern was thoroughly stirred up. The players played very actively on the field, especially on both sides, and frequently performed one-on-one passes.

  If Fritz's overtaking is based on his own speed, then Dennyson's overtaking is more enjoyable to watch. He almost all relies on his own delicate skills, although his speed and agility are good, but the technical content of his overtaking is higher.

  In the 37th minute, Derniersen made a solo run in the penalty area, shaking off two defenders with consecutive fake moves, and then used his right foot to shoot an arc ball that grazed the far post into the net, changing the score to 0:3!

  Kaiserslautern scored three goals in one breath, playing the most impressive attacking football so far this season, especially with the lively performance on both flanks, completely suppressing Belgrade Red Star's flanks and forcing them to switch to defense.

  In the midfield, apart from Gattuso, Ballack, Nedved and Belletti all frequently made forward runs to create threats, it was under this tactic of combining the flanks with the centre that Kaiserslautern's offence became unbeatable.

  In the second half, Kaiserslautern continued to be fierce as in the first half. In the first 15 minutes after the kick-off, Denilson and Bellon scored consecutively, rewriting the score to 0:5!

  Yang Cheng, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at the Belgrade Red Star players on the field, who were being beaten without any spirit. He even dared not to believe it, because before the game, he had never thought of winning big, but only wanted to use offense to suppress Belgrade Red Star. The reason why he decided to press up later was all due to the team's first goal.

  In contrast, Forlano reacted slowly when the team lost the first ball, and his adjustments came too late. As a result, Kaiserslautern scored three goals in one breath, and the team's morale was completely destroyed, unable to recover.

  "The players' condition is indeed excellent!" Paul Bayer said with a smile.

  As the season progressed and the schedule deepened, the benefits of Kaiserslautern's pre-season devil training began to slowly emerge, and the players' condition also started to explode, especially in this game, they really performed too well.

  "The sides and midfielders are all very active, the tactics of combining the sides and midfield also meet your requirements. After losing possession, they actively press forward, it seems that they have already begun to familiarize themselves with your tactical ideas!" Paul Baier is also delighted about this, because Kaiserslautern has his own blood and sweat invested in it.

  But Yang Cheng suddenly thought, although Fritz on the right road performed well, but he was not a regular wing attacker, he could only rely on speed to play rough, what if it was replaced by Daisler? Can this German technical and delicate general form a devilish duo with Denilson?

  If possible, the road on that side has Derniersen and Deisler, the middle road has goal-scoring machine Van Nistelrooy and substitutes Barak and Nedved, plus organizer Beron, Kaiserslautern's offense will become incredibly strong.

  With this idea, Yang Cheng immediately replaced Fritz with Deisler.

  In a big win, substitutions can be made to keep the main players' physical strength for the next game, and also allow substitute players to get familiar with the rhythm of the game, pull their state, so as not to find that the substitute players are in a terrible state when they need to be used at critical moments.

  However, after Daxler came on, the offense on the right route immediately dwindled a lot. Although the German youngster had a beautiful dribble, he quickly lost his presence on the court. After two or three consecutive mistakes, his teammates began to pass the ball to the left route, and even when Daxler ran out of space, he couldn't get the ball.

  Seeing this situation, Yang Cheng also felt helpless, because he knew very well that when players are on the field, if they want to make an effort to perform, they must rely on their own strength to fight for it and gain trust from their teammates, but Daisler obviously did not do so.

  "He seems somewhat afraid of confrontation!" Paul Bayer said with a wry smile.

  Deisler's problem has been a concern for Kaiserslautern's coaching staff for some time, but so far no solution has been found.

  All along, the players also knew that there was such a guy in the first team who didn't fit with the main force!

  Yang Cheng also had no choice but to immediately substitute Belotti and the exhausted Bremer with Deko and Lusio.

  After continuous substitutions, Kaiserslautern's offense slowed down a lot. The gap between Deco and Bellon is still very obvious, especially at this stage. However, in defense, Kaiserslautern's overall defensive tactics are still firmly suppressing Red Star.

  Stankovic was absolutely the most frustrating guy in this game, because this game must be his worst and most frustrating game of the season. He found himself unable to even want to pass the ball once he got it, that kind of powerful but useless frustration is enough to drive him crazy.

  So in the final stage of the game, he was involved in a meaningless scramble for the ball and in the heat of the moment, elbowed Gattuso with his elbow. The latter fell to the ground, not exaggerating, just making a gesture that any professional player would make.

  The main referee showed Stankovic his second yellow card of the game and was sent off directly with a red card.

  When Stankovic was substituted out, Yang Chen knew this game was over.

  When the chief referee blew the whistle to end the game, Yang Cheng first celebrated with the coaching staff and substitutes one by one, then walked towards the home team's bench.

  Forlani saw Yang Chen walking over, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole and crawl in, especially when he saw the paper towels floating down from the stands with boos, they weren't for Kaiserslautern, but for him, it made him even more humiliated.

  But his demeanor eventually forced him to step forward and politely shake hands with Yang Cheng, "Congratulations!"

  "Thank you!" Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with this future head coach of the Chinese national team.

  A reporter slipped over and seeing the two head coaches shaking hands, immediately shouted: "Come on, let's take a photo!"

  Yang Cheng heard that, okay, being able to take a photo with the future national team head coach in advance is not bad either. However, Forlado suddenly blushed and became self-conscious, quickly finding an excuse to run away hastily, making Yang Cheng feel strange himself.

  Although they won the game, Yang Chen was in a great mood and generously allowed reporters to take a photo of him before returning to the locker room.

  …………

  After the 5-0 away win against Red Star Belgrade in Kaiserslautern, German media began to take notice of this team's excellent performance on the European stage, because everyone knew that Red Star Belgrade was no weak opponent.

  The 3. Liga team has remained undefeated so far this season, the European Winners' Cup has advanced to the top 16, and the German Cup has also advanced to the top 16. Yang Cheng's start at Kaiserslautern is almost flawless.

  What's even more rare is that in the transfer market, which was previously heavily criticized by fans and media, players like Denilson, Belluschi, Nedved and Barak have all proven themselves on the pitch, while veterans like Marshall, Rutz and Bremmer are still going strong, making people highly praise Yang Chen's coaching ability.

  As a result, in the two days from the end of the first round of the DFB-Pokal to the start of the Champions League and Europa League, German media began to lavish praise on Yang Chen and 1. FC Kaiserslautern, believing that this team had already booked one of the promotion places for the Bundesliga this season.

  Yang Cheng, the person involved, is not very satisfied with the team's current strength. At least the tactical coordination degree is only 63 points, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. In addition, the low-performing Daisler, Van Nistelrooy who has not scored yet, and the problem of backline metabolism...

  Yang Chen felt that being promoted to Jia League was just a starting point for Kaizer Chiefs!
