  The stands at the Carl-Benz Stadium were completely packed, and the atmosphere inside was extremely heated, especially when the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, the atmosphere on site reached its climax.

  Yang Cheng walked out with Tim, Paul and the coaching staff members to the coach's seat, just in time to see Heathfield looking at him. Yang Cheng smiled politely and then walked over.

  "Good luck to you, young man!" Heathfield said with a smile and gave him a hug.

  "We will definitely win this game!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, throwing down a ruthless remark.

  "We are too!" Heathfield said with a smile.

  The two separated and returned to their respective coaching benches, surprisingly neither of them chose to sit back down, instead standing at the edge of the field, watching the players on the field form up and prepare to kick off.

  "This game is also a must-win for Dortmund, and they have sent their main players to fight!" Tim Hank looked on with a deep frown, Dortmund was the two-time champion of the Bundesliga, and its strength didn't need to be said. On the other hand, Kaiserslautern had just experienced a major relegation, and after the team's reshuffle, no one knew what their strength would be like.

  "As predicted before the match, the goalkeeper will be Karius, and the back four will be Henrich, Koller, Sommer and Reuter. This defensive line is one of the top-notch in today's football."

  Heinrich is not yet a big name, but his strength should not be underestimated. Otherwise, he would not have become the most valuable German player later on; Koller and Sommer are world-class players. As for Reuter, many people say that he is the top right-back, the fastest full-back, with both defensive and offensive capabilities, and can play any position in the back four, very comprehensive.

  "Andy Moller, Lambert, Paul Sosa and Ricken form the midfield, each of these four players is a top-notch player, the only drawback is that Lambert and Paul Sosa are both new signings this season, so their coordination in midfield may not be as good as the backline!"

  Lambert is also a Tiger General from Scotland and later captain of the Celtics!

  "Chapuisat and Riedle are the partners on the front line, the former is Switzerland's number one striker with excellent scoring ability, while the latter was a famous striker in the Bundesliga in his heyday, now over 30 years old, many people say he has begun to move away from his peak, but don't underestimate him!"

  The more neglected the forward is, the more dangerous they are, especially for those who have been brilliant before, because there is no player who has achieved success on the football field by luck. If you underestimate them, you may bring disaster to yourself at any time.

  Yang Chen scanned Dortmund's starting lineup one by one, then looked over at his own side.

  This starting lineup arranged by him is also the strongest he can arrange, except for Denilson on the left wing being excluded from the big list, all others are also dispatched to play with the main force.

  The gate will be Reinke, the back line is Bremmer, Keil and Kosch; midfield is Nedved, Ballack, Beron and Gattuso, and the front field is Wagner, Fritz and Marshall.

  As this game focuses on defense and counterattack, Yang Cheng made some adjustments in the deployment of troops.

  With the referee's whistle, the game officially started!

  After the game started, Yang Cheng's tactical arrangement changes were revealed.

  On the two wings, Wagner and Fritz are both good at attacking and defending, occupying the left and right wings respectively, but their position is wing forward, focusing on defensive defense of the wings.

  In the midfield, Ballack, Nedved and Beron formed a strong trio, whether it was attacking or defending, they were the core of the team. As for Gattuso, Yang Cheng simply gave up on restricting him in this game, allowing him to be more free with his position, becoming a troublemaker on the field, constantly harassing Dortmund's players.

  The game had just begun when Gatusso knocked down Andy Müller during a defensive action, but the Italian immediately helped Andy Müller up with an apologetic smile.

  But this time fouls disrupted Dortmund's attacking rhythm!

  This is what Yang Cheng wants to add to Tuso.

  "Looks like this kid has really made a lot of progress!" Paul laughed and praised, seeing Gattuso breaking the rhythm of Dortmund.

  Yang Cheng thought to himself, if he doesn't show some progress soon, those 15 achievement points will all be wasted.

  As it was a defensive counterattack, Kaiserslautern started very steadily, with the three lines being relatively tight. Ballack, Beron and Nedved are all midfielders who can run, but today's Beron is not the same as he was during his Manchester United period, or even during his Inter Milan period, when his running ability was still very good.

  The three players formed a strong triangle in midfield, closely watching Andy Moller, who was the core of Dortmund, but Yang Chen did not relax his vigilance on the sidelines for Ricken, and whenever he saw a player slightly out of position, he would immediately go to the sideline to remind him.

  After 15 minutes of play, the score is still 0:0!

  "Dortmund's control was really strong, we didn't have any chances at all!" Paul Breitner shook his head in dismay.

  A strong backline, combined with a midfield packed with stars, makes Dortmund's defense and midfield look like an impregnable fortress, and Kaiserslautern's occasional counterattacks pose no threat to Dortmund's goal.

  It was Dortmund's offense that produced threat after threat, keeping everyone on edge.

  "Hold on, Paul!" Yang Cheng squeezed out a smile, but he was also frightened.

  That's why so many head coaches get heart disease, because every shot on goal has the potential to result in a score, so every time someone shoots, the coach's heart is on edge, whether it's their own team or the opponent!

  Yang Cheng saw the players one by one fighting very hard, defending very actively and in place, but Dortmund was really too strong, Kaiserslautern struggled to hold on, and the players looked exhausted.

  "Be careful! Take it easy!" Yang Cheng walked to the side of the court and encouraged.

  The head coach's occasional encouragement is also very particular, after all, the players who listened can also understand the head coach's support and understand the current situation on the field.

  To put it bluntly, when you're in the midst of it, you can't see it clearly. Although the players on the field know they are being passive, they may not be able to fully understand the situation. However, Yang Chen's encouraging words contain his satisfaction with their performance so far and his hope that they will continue to maintain it.

  Hissfeld on the side was also calm and composed, occasionally coming to the scene to say a few words, but more often patiently waiting.

  It's clear that Dortmund is stronger, he has enough confidence that his team will win this game, so there's no need for him to rush at the beginning.

  But I don't know if it's because the opening attack was too fierce, Dortmund relaxed a bit after attacking for a while, and the original three lines of defense retreated a bit.

  The players of Kaiserslautern felt a bit relieved on the field.

  But at this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly shouted, "Damn it!"
