It was somewhat unexpected that the training for the next few days went surprisingly smoothly. Bremer followed Yang Cheng's training arrangement, and even Rutz and Kosch changed their attitude towards Yang Cheng, and they all obeyed orders one after another.

  Watching the players execute their training tasks on the field with precision, every time they see Yang Cheng, although they still can't smile, but at least there is no longer the coldness and rejection that kept people at bay.

  "Have you given them something to eat? Otherwise, how could their attitude towards you change so quickly?" Paul Bayer asked with a smile.

  Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "How would I know?"

  He had no idea that the day before he checked in with Gerald Ellerman, this legendary goalkeeper of Kaiserslautern had communicated with Bremen and others and told them about Yang's invitation to join the coaching staff.

  After careful and serious analysis, a conclusion was finally reached that Yang Cheng also disapproved of the board's treatment of former meritorious officials, so he used a goalkeeper coach contract to retain Elman, of course, there is probably also a bit of catering to local players.

  After reaching this conclusion, Bremmer once again warned his teammates that since the head coach had already made concessions, the players should also show their attitude. Even Lutz, who was usually most opposed to Yang Cheng, promised not to confront him again under Elman's persuasion.

  Yang Cheng is unclear about all this, he just feels that the change in attitude of the players is a good thing, if it's a good thing, why does the change seem less important!

  For 10 consecutive days, the team's pre-season training has been going on in full swing. Under Yang Cheng's nearly hellish one-day three-practice sessions, they are all complaining bitterly and suffering unbearably. Many of them have secretly vowed that if Yang Cheng's training doesn't work, they will make him pay dearly.

  In these 10 days, apart from physical reserves, Yang Cheng also continuously instilled his tactical arrangements and instructions to the players. However, unlike other coaches who like to instill tactics in the tactical conference room, Yang Cheng's place for instilling tactics is always on the field, inseparable from football.

  Because the club opens a training session for fans every day, Yang Cheng always chooses the morning physical reserve training session. Although there's something new, it's not particularly special, and Yang Cheng is not afraid of leaking out.

  But the second and third training sessions were closed to outsiders, especially the third session. Yang Cheng almost relied on the third training session to convey his tactical requirements and instructions for the team to the players, and guided each player to fulfill their responsibilities.

  Like in Chemnitz, Yang Chen also likes to divide the field into different areas during tactical training, draw red and green lines, guide players to run and pass, and occasionally blow the whistle to stop training and correct mistakes made by players.

  Before and after each training session, Yang Cheng would gather the players to arrange tactics for the training and correct the mistakes made by the players during the training, and summarize each day's training.

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 10 days have passed.

  Yang Cheng and others also fully entered their roles within these ten days, everyone began to familiarize themselves with their duties and tasks, the first-line team's coaching staff started to operate in an orderly manner, even Yang Cheng let Mullenstein take the initiative to understand Kaiserslautern's youth training system.

  On the 11th day of Yang Cheng's coaching in Kaiserslautern, the team had a warm-up match and went to Worms northeast of Kaiserslautern for a warm-up match. The opponent was an old professional team but not strong, often lingering in the regional league.

  This is the first game Yang Cheng led after taking office, but I don't know if it's because of the recent experience of devil training, the players' bodies seem to be very tired, and they can't open their feet on the field. In addition, the new tactics are not familiar enough, and the coordination between each other is not tacit, so the performance of the players on the field is very poor.

  Although they ultimately won 1-0 against Worms thanks to a Bremer free kick, Kaiserslautern's performance in this match was still heavily criticized.

  Like kicker, Bild etc. big media only simply report the match result, but still there are not a few local and nearby media of Kaiserslautern fiercely attack Yang Chen's coaching this team of Kaiserslautern, because they know that local fans are very dissatisfied with Yang Chen's leading the team.

  "Fans want to see Rehhagel, a top-notch coach, not some greenhorn rookie!"

  But in the midst of widespread doubts and attacks, the local Freie Presse published a commentary column that surprisingly took an opposing stance to the current trend, openly supporting Yang Chen, believing that the Chinese head coach's abilities were beyond doubt and should continue to be trusted and supported.

  "Do you still remember when he first took charge of Chemnitz? At that time, Chemnitz had not won in 21 league matches and only scored 4 points throughout the season. The team's morale had hit rock bottom, and everyone around the world thought they had no hope of avoiding relegation. But Yang Chen used a miraculous 13-game winning streak to shatter everyone's expectations."

  "He is a magical head coach, maybe he's young, maybe he lacks experience, but many times on the football field it doesn't necessarily require experience to be a good head coach. Sometimes there are people who are born with that ability to lead teams to victory, we call those people geniuses!"

  "I firmly believe that Yang Cheng is a genius!"

  …………

  …………

  "Really? Am I being praised this much?" Yang Cheng laughed loudly while reading the newspaper.

  "I think he's probably your fan!" Paul Bier shouted from the side.

  Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled wryly when he saw the signature at the bottom of the column. "It's an old friend, Gran Nak, I wonder when did he start working for the Free Newspaper in Kaiserslautern?"

  The image of this German young man immediately emerged in my mind, just because I chose him in the interview list at that time, and as a result, he used this support to repay me. It seems that this world is indeed a good reward!

  "Oh, it's Gran Nak, I reckon he's the only journalist in the whole world who'd speak up for you now!"

  Paul's words are not wrong, after Yang Chen took over Kaiserslautern, although he is no longer as silent in the media as he was in Chemnitz, his relationship with the media is also not good. Several times, the media wanted to enter the training ground for interviews and reports, but were all rejected by Yang Chen.

  If Yang Chen's team performance was good, then it would be better, but now...

  The media is like that, if you win a game, they can lift you up to heaven, but if you lose the next game or perform poorly, they will trample you into hell.

  For some reason, Yang Cheng suddenly remembered a sentence by Heidi Klum.

  "In the fashion and entertainment industry, perhaps today you can lead the trend, but by tomorrow, you are outdated!"

  Is football world not the same?
