The benefits of being a rich club are obvious, that is, there is enough money for the head coach to squander, resources are abundant, and fame comes quickly. Almost every successful head coach has to go through the baptism of a rich club; however, coaching a rich club is undoubtedly more difficult than coaching a weak team, because the pressure on a rich club is greater, with many stars, management is also more difficult, especially how to make the stars understand the concept and attitude of "everyone for me" and "me for everyone".
Lehmann can't do it, and Trapatonni doesn't seem like he can either!
"Trapattoni is a gold medal coach, and he's also quick to react. As soon as a mistake appears, he immediately covers it up!" Paolo Baretti said with some admiration.
Apart from the 12th minute's counter-attack that led to a goal, Kaiserslautern's subsequent attacks on Matthaus were all ineffective and Trapattoni quickly covered up this weakness.
However, Paul Breitner was even more impressed by Yang Chen's tactical acumen, as he managed to find the weakness of Matth?us and make use of it, and dared to take the initiative to attack after the opening, keeping pace with Bayern Munich throughout the game. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
If Yang Cheng knew what Paul Bay was thinking, he would definitely feel embarrassed, because he took advantage of Mateus' weakness with the guidance of the super coaching system, which specifically pointed out Mateus' aerial defense ability before the game. Marshall and Barak are both tall and strong, who doesn't know how to use them!
He glanced at the time, it had been 35 minutes, and the score was still 1:0. Yang Cheng secretly guessed in his heart that if he were Trapattoni, he would not let the team go back to the locker room with a losing score like this, because this way, Bayern would become even more passive in the second half, especially in terms of momentum.
Yang Cheng walked to the edge of the field, waved his hand at Bellon and Gatuzo on the field, made a slightly withdrawn gesture, planning to hold onto the 1-0 score in the first half.
Kaiserslautern was already struggling on the field and decided to fall back, Bayern immediately pressed up and took control.
However, Kaiserslautern's defense was not a gas-saving lamp either. Once they decided to retreat and defend against Bayern's counter-attack, it was difficult for Bayern to threaten Kaiserslautern's goal because they too found it hard to get past midfield.
Barak and the other three midfielders are all famous strong generals, especially Gattuso, who has made significant progress in strength and performed well. With these four hard men with excellent running ability and defensive ability, once they cooperate tacitly, it's not easy to break through their defense.
Bayern are now facing such a problem, they lack a midfielder who can tear open the defense.
Saul's technique is delicate, but he was drowned alone in the midfield iron man group of Kaiserslautern, and only had a share of being crushed.
But at this time, Trapatonni also made an adjustment. Rizzoli and Basile began to frequently create killing opportunities on the wing, while Sauer was more forward in his familiar central position, responsible for taking the ball in front of the penalty area and organizing the final pass.
Yang Cheng immediately reacted and made a response, but still made a mistake.
In the 43rd minute, Sauer made a sudden withdrawal after making a forward pass and Gattuso closely followed him. However, the German's technique was too fine and his movements were too quick, causing Gattuso to momentarily lose track of him. Realizing he couldn't let him get past, Gattuso had no choice but to commit a foul.
This time Sauer was knocked down, Gattuso not only got a yellow card, but also gave Bayern a free kick opportunity about 35 meters away from the penalty area, slightly to the left.
Shaojie stood firmly in front of the free throw line, while Yang Cheng watched with a nervous heart nearby.
"TMD, is Gatuso's foul this time trying to test the load on my heart?" Yang Cheng muttered to himself.
Scholl's free kicks are excellent, and he is the best player in Bayern for this. Although his free kicks are not as tricky as Juninho's or as stylish as Beckham's, they are very secretive and hard to defend against.
Reincke had obviously learned from Sauer's lesson, and since Yang Cheng had made arrangements before the game, he was very concerned about arranging his teammates' positions and human wall formations. Meanwhile, players like Klinzmann and Heilmer all rushed to Kaiserslautern's side, making it impossible for anyone to guess whether Sauer would shoot directly or make tactical cooperation.
After the players formed a wall, the main referee took several steps back and blew the whistle for a free kick.
Shaul took a step forward with his left foot and shot a curved ball that spun intensely, bypassing the wall of people and falling straight into the penalty area.
Yang Cheng and others stared intently at Shao Er's penalty kick, as soon as the ball went out, they were suddenly frightened, and when they reacted, it was Klinzmann who rushed in front of Bremer and Rutz, forcibly pinning the two old generals behind him, jumping high, heading the door, Reink couldn't reach, 1:1!
Klinsmann's first reaction after the goal was to pump his fist and let out a mighty roar, his expression full of dominance. He then went around to celebrate with each of his teammates, high-fiving them one by one, except for Matth?us.
"TMD!" Yang Cheng was so angry that he fiercely swung his fist, and they actually lost the ball at the most critical moment of the first half.
Watching Klinsmann and Sauer celebrate under his own nose, Yang Chen felt a sense of depression in his heart.
"My god, Bayern's players are all well-known stars, even if they couldn't score in the first half, but at critical moments no one hesitated. This free kick combination is enough to show their strength!" Paul Breitner was full of praise.
Yang Cheng also agreed with Paul Bier's judgment in his heart, but he still felt unwilling to accept it.
The advantage established at the beginning was finally crushed by a header from Collins.
"This kid deserves to be called a golden bomber!" Yang Cheng didn't know whether it was a curse or praise!
However, this time the lost ball also fully exposed the problems of Kaiserslautern's back line, that is, Bremer and Lutz are not young anymore, plus Kadlec, the three old guards in the back line have very good experience and consciousness, but after all, years are not forgiving.
If it were Lucio just now, Klineman would probably have no chance!
"It seems that the update and replacement of the back line still need to be done as soon as possible!" Yang Cheng sighed.
If this task cannot be completed in the current season, when it comes to the more competitive Bundesliga, wouldn't Kaiserslautern's defense face an even greater threat?
"Kerem, Lucio and Luis Holt are okay for the 2nd Bundesliga, so we can give them enough playing time in the 2nd Bundesliga, but for European games and cup games, veterans like Bremen are still more trustworthy!" Paul Bayer suggested.
Yang Chen also thinks it's suitable, because Kaiserslautern's strength is already top-notch in the 2. Bundesliga, and with Yang Chen's tactics, Kaiserslautern's defense in the 2. Bundesliga is very solid, which can fully train the three young defenders.
"It's the only thing we can do now!"
…………
…………
The first half ended 1:1!
But in the last moment, Bayern equalized the score, which had a great impact on Kaiserslautern's morale, especially since the players still had a lingering fear of Bayern's counterattack, and one by one they all looked depressed.
Yang Chen clearly sensed the atmosphere as he walked into the locker room, so he clapped his hands loudly a few times, drawing the attention of all the players.
"What's going on? Everyone, did we lose the game?" Yang Cheng asked with a pretended smile.
The players all shook their heads.
"Oh, so we haven't lost yet? Then why are you all hanging your heads in despair?"
Yang Chen looked relaxed, walking into the locker room as if chatting casually, and came to the middle of the players. "From the moment I first came into contact with football, people have always told me that anything can happen on the football field!"
"I believe you all have heard this sentence before, it's not telling us to wait lazily for miracles, because miracles will never fall on those who are waiting, but only be bestowed upon those who strive for them, so we must work hard. I always believe that miracles are created through hard work!"
"It's as if an hour ago, who could have imagined that we would draw 1-1 with Bayern? Who could have imagined that we would make the mighty Bayern so embarrassed in the game?"
Pausing for a moment, Yang Cheng looked at his players with great confidence. "I'm very satisfied with your performance in the first half, really very satisfied. I couldn't ask you to do more, because I believe that as long as you continue to maintain your performance from the first half, the final victory will definitely be ours!"
Yang Cheng's words instantly reignited hope in the players, and one by one they began to regain their usual conversations.
Seeing the players like this, Yang Cheng also temporarily put down his heart. When he passed by Gattuso, he patted the young man's shoulder heavily to encourage him not to take the foul just now to heart. After all, Shao Er's strength was clearer than anyone else, and Gattuso could do it. It's already very difficult for this step.
Yang Cheng then came over beside Bremmer again.
"How's it going? Andres, are you okay?" he asked with concern.
Braemer nodded heavily, "Not bad!"
Yang Cheng smiled and sat down beside Bremmer, putting his arm around his shoulder in a familiar manner. "Our team is very powerful and has great potential, but it's still young, so we need to rely more on you old ministers. So when we get to the field, you have to help me take care of them and point out their mistakes!"
Seeing the head coach not mentioning the mistake at the last moment of the first half, but instead entrusting himself and others with a heavier task, Bremer and others nodded in excitement, secretly vowing that even if they risked their lives, they would definitely help the head coach win this game!
