"But I was alone in the locker room just now, and suddenly I didn't understand how Matth?us and Klinsmann became so powerful. When Matth?us first played for M?nchengladbach in the Bundesliga; when Klinsmann first played for Stuttgart in the 2nd Bundesliga; when Kahn first played for Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga, did they ever think that they would be where they are today? Could they have imagined that one day they could reach the pinnacle of world football?"

  Yang Cheng's doubts made all the players present reveal their thoughts one by one.

  "We don't even need to ask others, you can ask Andres, ask him if he ever thought that when he joined Kaiserslautern back then, he would win so many championships, gain so much honor and reach such great heights in his career!"

  The players suddenly all looked at team captain Bremer, who shook his head with a serious face.

  "No! I believe not only Andres, but also Matthaus, Klinsmann and Kahn etc. absolutely didn't think so, but why can their career be so brilliant?"

  Yang Cheng heavily patted the tactical board behind him, producing a series of dull thuds.

  "It's precisely because they are very clear that everything in this world must be won with one's own hands, the victory of a game, the ownership of a trophy, even the glory and decline of a player's career, all need to be won with one's own hands, through hard work, no one can help you except yourself!"

  "You can ask Andres, you can go and ask Matthaus, Klinsmann and others, they are the ones who have been through match after match of bitter struggle, they are the ones who when faced with one strong opponent after another, do not become arrogant, do not lower their heads, do not give up, do not lose heart, use their strong willpower, persevere and endure, and keep defeating one strong opponent after another, only then can they reach where they are today, only then can they achieve the glorious achievements of today."

  "You can think about it, if they had encountered a strong team like Bayern Munich today when they just started out, and lost without a fight, would there still be Brehme, Klinsmann and Matth?us today?"

  The players all shook their heads one by one.

  "Can you think again, if they had chosen to escape, chosen to be timid, and chosen to retreat when they encountered strong opponents time and time again in their careers, would they still have become the renowned Brehme, Klinsmann and Matth?us today?"

  Yang Cheng's tone became increasingly severe, and the players shook their heads with increasing force.

  "You can think again, if you face a strong Bayern today, you can be like Breitner, Klinnsman and others in the past, with fearless spirit, brave style, perseverance and hard work, go all out, unite with your teammates, and finally defeat Bayern. And in the future, after defeating one Bayern after another, who can guarantee that your future won't be Breitner? Won't it be Matth?us? Won't it be Klinnsman?"

  Yang Chen's words thoroughly stirred up the morale of the players in the locker room, sweeping away the pressure brought by Bayern's strength, and one by one they became spirited.

  "Anyone's success cannot be separated from struggle and sacrifice, anyone's success cannot be separated from persistence and diligence, anyone's success is inseparable from every person around him, silently dedicating themselves to him when he needs it, selflessly giving him help, silently sacrificing for him!"

  Yang Cheng spoke emotionally, even waving his hands with every word to stir up the players' emotions.

  "Comrades, you must understand that all your efforts today are for the sake of your tomorrow, so that you can become a Bremer, a Matth?us and a Klinsmann; comrades, you must believe that every sacrifice you make for your teammates by your side will be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold, without you even realizing it, and become the stepping stone for your success!"

  "You must have confidence, you must have the will to fight, you must have the courage and determination to face difficulties head-on. Only then can you walk out of this locker room and defeat the powerful Bayern; only then can you defeat an even stronger opponent than Bayern in the near future; and only then can you become the Brehme, Klinsmann and Matth?us in your hearts!"

  "Bayern is not to be feared, what's fearful is that you don't have the courage to face him; Bayern is not so strong either, because as long as you have the confidence and determination to defeat him, he will appear weak and vulnerable in front of you!"

  The players stood up one by one, revealing their ferocious and furious expressions one after another.

  "This is our home, this is our paradise, it's the enemy's hell. We will fight like a man, we will fight like a warrior, bravely forward. With our unity, with our confidence, with our fighting spirit, and with our perseverance and efforts, we will defeat all enemies in front of us, no matter if they are Bayern, we can definitely beat them!"

  "Take him down!"

  "Take down Bayern!"

  The players one by one clenched their fists and shouted to the sky, each looking like they were in a state of frenzy, as if they could not wait to stake their lives on this mortal combat with their opponents!

  …………

  …………

  "Both teams' players walked out of the player tunnel one after another. Judging from the starting lineup, Trapattoni's tactics for this match still adhered to his original attitude: first stabilize the situation and then slowly plot against the opponent. Although this is a bit conservative, Bayern's strength is not something Kaiserslautern can match!"

  The live commentator was commenting at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, but still maintained his independent judgment. In any case, Bayern had to beat Kaiserslautern.

  Yang Cheng is also very clear about this point, but in this game he still insisted on his starting lineup.

  The goalkeeper will be Reinke, the three defenders in the back line are Bremmer, Kusch and Lutz, these three old men are also Yang Chen's most trusted main force in the back line this season; In terms of midfield, N'Djeng, Bellon and Gattuso continue to start, Ballack also serves as an attacking midfielder, the two wingers are Dernis and Deisler, and the lone striker is Marshall.

  What makes Yang Chen feel fortunate is that when facing Bayern, Kaiserslautern's main lineup was not affected by injuries, and even this season, except for a few players like Lutz and Fritz, the team's lineup has been kept very intact so far, which also makes Yang Chen satisfied with the team's pre-season preparation.

  Bayern's starting lineup was not unexpected, just as Yang Cheng and Paul Baier predicted before the game. Trapattoni is also not a coach who likes to randomly change his starting lineup and play adventurous cards, so the starting list of both sides in this game is not too unexpected.

  The real surprise came from Kaiserslautern's active counterattack after the opening.

  …………

  …………

  "Oh, young general Denilson made a quick breakthrough on the left road, forcibly overtaking Babel, and made a low pass in the middle of the forbidden area. Marshall rushed to the door and the ball was slightly out!"

  The play-by-play commentator was startled by a sudden attack.

  "Kaiserslautern started very actively after the kickoff, and Bayern's midfielder made another mistake in passing, Bellon intercepted successfully, made a straight pass, Barak got the ball with his back to the goal, knocked it back to Nedved, who sent the ball to the left baseline... again Denilson! Again Denilson stole the show before Babel could make a cross, and Barak's close-range header..."

  "Hits the crossbar! What a pity, Barack's close-range header hits the crossbar, and Kaiserslautern's second shot is again in vain, it's really too bad!"

  The fans in the stands were also taken aback by Kaiserslautern's attack, and when they saw Barak's header hit the crossbar, they all showed a look of disappointment, and a sigh echoed through the entire stadium.

  Yang Cheng stood at the edge of the court watching the game, but his mind was analyzing everything he saw with his eyes and brain.

  After the opening, Kaiserslautern's offense was still focused on the left flank, because Drexler's personal ability was excellent, plus Nedved and Ballack's coordination, Kaiserslautern's left flank attack was very good, but Bayern's defense was also very solid and stable, after all Trapattoni is famous for his defensive tactics.

  But on the right flank, Daxler's threat was not great, making it relatively easy for Bayern to defend.

  Yang Cheng arrived at the scene and shouted towards Kaiser Slautern, who was attacking from left to right, just as Daisler was about to face him.

  "Sebastian, be more active, raise your hand for the ball, got it? Make more breakthroughs! Be braver!"

  Yang Chen also made a gesture to Bellon in the distance, indicating that he should not always pass on the left, but occasionally try the right. After all, after the opening, Kaiserslautern launched a crazy attack on the left, and Bayern's defensive focus shifted to the right, leaving a considerable gap on Bayern's left, which was also Kaiserslautern's right.

  Yang Chen's adjustment immediately brought a whole new option to Kaiserslautern's offense.

  Kaiserslautern's Kaiser quickly regained control of the ball and passed it to Bernd H?lzenbein, but just as everyone thought H?lzenbein would repeat his previous move and pass the ball to left winger Erwin Kostedde, he suddenly made a diagonal pass that found Dieter Herzog.

  It's no wonder Bayern's players were shocked, after all, Kaiserslautern focused on attacking the left side at the beginning, and Deisler on the right seemed a bit quiet, so when the ball came to his feet, left-back Ziege immediately moved forward to mark him.

  Dybala skillfully controlled the ball with his feet, first making a feint to cut into the middle of the road. When Ziegler was deceived and blocked the position, he suddenly stopped and changed direction, taking the ball to the baseline and cleverly using his speed and technique to get past Ziegler, creating a beautiful personal breakthrough.

  This suddenly sparked off a cheer and applause from the Kaiserslautern fans in the stands, also bringing a fatal change to Bayern's backline.
