In Yang Chen's previous life, he had a special feeling for Yugoslav football, because the country's football had a profound impact on Chinese football, and even entered the annals of Chinese football history.

  Kosa, Petkovi?, Vlado and the most unforgettable one, who brought China's historic first World Cup appearance to the big stage, Bora Milutinovi?. They all came from Yugoslavia and were all from Red Star Belgrade, with Petkovi? being a hero who led Red Star Belgrade to win the European Cup and Toyota Cup.

  And now the head coach of this Belgrade Red Star team is Floro, who will become the head coach of China national team in a few years!

  Under the technical and attacking-minded head coach, Red Star Belgrade was known for their technical and sharp attacking style, dominating domestically in Yugoslavia but lost the championship to Partizan Belgrade last season and had to settle for a disappointing European Cup Winners' Cup campaign.

  This team, known as the European Brazil team, is not to be underestimated, especially with its core player Stankovic, who would later become a European football star. However, under coach Floro, Belgrade Red Star's aggressive football tactics couldn't hide their fatal weakness of being strong in attack but weak in defense.

  "In the last season's Yugoslav league, Red Star Belgrade lost 16 goals in 18 matches due to poor defense, and watched as the championship slipped into the hands of their arch-rivals Partizan. This season has seen no improvement, despite still being level on points with Partizan, they have conceded 13 goals in 13 league games, while Partizan have only conceded 5. If they can't change their defensive habits, Red Star's championship dreams will be over!"

  Yang Cheng turned his head to take a glance at Farado in the distance, who was somewhat unfamiliar but whose name he had heard for a long time.

  When Forlado was coaching the national football team, Yang Cheng had been away from the national football team for a long time. So all along he had only heard of his name but never met him in person. However, he could see that Forlado was a tragic figure.

  He, who had been an assistant for many years, took on the important task, but coincided with the strong year of the guerrilla team. However, he didn't have the iron-fisted approach that a head coach should have, and his usual gentle policy was useless!

  The starting lineup for Kaiserslautern is: Reinke in goal, three central defenders Bremmer, Koch and the recovered Lutz; midfielders Nedved, Beierle and Gattuso, attacking midfielder Ballack, left winger Denerink, right winger Fritz, and striker Vanni.

  Ma Shao was very tired after the match against Wolfsburg, he's not young anymore, Yang Cheng worried about his physical condition, so this game arranged him to rest, Fan Ni replaced him as a starter, Pavel Kuka sat on the substitute bench.

  Standing on the sidelines, Yang Cheng watched as the two teams of players formed their lines on the field. Kaiserslautern had won the coin toss and would kick off first, which pleased him.

  "Pressing down overall, the game started with a fierce attack!"

  Yang Cheng made a gesture of urging the players to move forward from the sidelines, and also reminded them of the tactical strategy he had instilled in them in the locker room. He wanted to take the initiative from the first minute.

  All 11 players of Kaiserslautern are looking forward together, they have a common goal, that is victory!

  …………

  …………

  "Beep!"

  When the starting whistle sounded, Van Nistelrooy immediately passed the ball to his side's Denilson, who chose to return and then ran left.

  Yang Cheng stood at the edge of the field, although he was at eye level and couldn't see the whole picture of the game, but in his brain's super coaching assistant system's analysis of the game, there was an item called panoramic view, which allowed him to overlook the entire field and make Yang Cheng more aware of the movement of both teams' players.

  At this moment, Drenovac, Vane and Fritz are like three arrows shot from the left, middle and right directions towards the back line of Red Star, but the ball quickly returned to the backcourt, shuttling between Bremer, Kosch and Lutz, luring Belgrade Red Star players to intercept.

  When the opponent pressed forward, the ball quickly came to Nedved's feet. He first passed it to Barak, who was retreating. With his back to the goal and a defender on his back, unable to turn around, he could only choose to pass it back to Bellon.

  The Argentine midfielder has a very flexible position in Kaiserslautern's tactical formation, able to withdraw and organize or make forward passes, thanks to the presence of Ballack, Nedved and Cattaneo, plus Beron's strong running ability, so Kaiserslautern's midfield is always particularly active and covers a large area.

  "Right lane!" At the moment Yang Cheng took the ball from Bellon, the panoramic view in his mind immediately saw Fritz on the right lane making a high-speed insertion, and he had already run out of space.

  Paul Beyer, standing beside Yang Cheng, looked at him with some surprise, because he and Yang Cheng were both standing on the sidelines, their line of sight was the same, the right road was separated from them by half of the court, it should not be very clear.

  But Bellon seemed to have heard Yang Cheng's shout, and made a precise diagonal pass with one foot, which came to Frits' front.

  Fritz's speed was very fast, and he made a timely forward insertion. He stopped the ball with his chest and then kicked it to the center with one foot.

  The ball drew a trajectory in the air and entered the penalty area. Fan Ni, who was inserted at the back post, judged the landing point and was about to rush over, but the main central defender of Red Star Belgrade jumped high in advance and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

  Yang Cheng shook his head as soon as he saw it. If they could take the lead at the beginning, this game would undoubtedly be completely incorporated into Kaiserslautern's rhythm.

  The ball was contested back and forth on the field, Kaiserslautern emphasized frontcourt pressing, Fritz, Vanni and Dernis were pressing in front of Red Star's defense line, Barak's defensive coverage area was also very large, plus Nedved, Bellon and Gattuso behind him, Kaiserslautern's frontcourt pressing tactics made the Red Star team look very unadapted.

  "Stankovic takes the ball, this young Yugoslav is currently the core of Red Star's main force, performing very well, especially... Oh, foul! The referee blew the whistle for a foul, it was Kaiserslautern midfielder Gattuso who tripped Stankovic!"

  "This is a free kick from the Red Star team in their own half, directly sent to the front court, but Koschke's steady judgment made the first point, and the ball was cleared again under Kaiserslautern's feet!"

  Yang Cheng on the sidelines was simultaneously taking care of both the actual and mental game views, a confident smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.
