?

  After regaining the lead, Yang Cheng looked at the time and it was 82 minutes, but he still had two substitutions left.

  Then Robinson substituted Pizzi with Giovanni, and Yang Chen used Lucio to replace the old general Bremer, who was already exhausted but still struggling.

  As Bremen slowly walked off the field, Yang Chen proactively went up to him and tightly hugged this loyal veteran of the team amidst the cheers and applause from the fans in the stands.

  "We can do it, Captain!" Bremer couldn't tell if he was panting or sobbing, his face was already dripping with sweat anyway.

  The Kaiserlautern fans in the stands saw this scene and responded with even more fervent applause and cheers, for these two men most beloved by the team's fans, one a legend of the club, the other a young coach who is about to win his first European title.

  "Fortunately, he didn't wear Armani today!" When Xiena saw Bremer, who was drenched in sweat, hugging Yang Cheng tightly, she felt an overwhelming urge to collapse on the stands.

  She really didn't know whether the sweat of these men would affect that Armani suit, but she guaranteed that if Yang Cheng wore an Armani suit to direct the game, his suit would definitely become a towel for the players to wipe their sweat.

  Armani = towel? This formula Xienna will never calculate!

  When she said that, Heidi Klum burst out laughing beside her. She also knew that Xienna was intentionally being playful. As for Yang Chen, looking at him calmly directing the game on the sidelines, looking at this team he led, with such an exciting tenacity and bloodiness to defeat the powerful Barcelona, the shock was enough to make people's blood boil.

  "Perhaps he was born for this place!" Heidi muttered to herself.

  "Of course, you haven't seen how much the players and fans adore him, but he's pretty good too. Compared to other coaches, take a look at Barcelona's, they're already gray-haired, but he's only 25 years old, what a bright future ahead! Xiena obviously found Yang more and more likable as she looked at him, thinking that this guy is quite capable!"

  Women often easily succumb to men who are more capable than them!

  Nate, who was sitting in the row above Heidi and Xienna, wasn't really paying attention to the game because she had been listening to these two women discussing her uncle Cheng all along, guessing their identities and relationship with Uncle Cheng.

  When Yang Cheng made his last substitution, replacing Beilon with Riedle, and the white witch accepted the cheers of all the fans in the stadium, the game had completely lost its suspense, because this substitution in the injury time was almost enough to consume more than half of the injury time.

  Although Basa wanted to fight back and Robson was not willing to lose, they could only reluctantly accept the reality with the referee's whistle.

  At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the players on Kaiserslautern's bench and staff on the coaching bench all rushed onto the field. They were all running frantically, shouting, celebrating and venting!

  After going through a tough season and experiencing match after match of bitter struggle, they finally got the European Champions Cup that countless professional players dream of, and it was won after defeating the extremely powerful Barcelona.

  That glory, that unforgettable experience, is enough to make players still talk about it with relish after countless years.

  Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines with a smile, he did not participate in the celebration, but he knew that after this game, whether it was his coaching level or psychological quality, had been greatly improved.

  To put it in a slightly exaggerated way, if he can already conquer this Barcelona team, what other team can make him feel afraid?

  Of course, there is no eternal winner on the football field. Yang Cheng was very clear about the shortcomings of this team.

  The 3-back system is quite advantageous against the current double-forward teams, but the defense on the wings is very troublesome because the space on the wings is too large. Although Kaiserslautern's midfield pressing and intercepting tactics can greatly slow down the opponent's offense, once they encounter a top-level team like Barcelona, Kaiserslautern will be at a disadvantage.

  442 is one of the formations that Yang Cheng has been preparing for, after all, no team can rely on a single tactic to conquer the world. The 4-back defense system midfield is still okay, but the left back, Bremer, is already old and no longer suitable for the position, and apart from him, there are no other players in the team who are suitable for this position.

  Apart from the left back, the left wing is also short of a striker. Whether it's Wagner or Grenier, they can only be considered mediocre. Relying solely on Dernis isn't enough. As for the right wing, the performances of young players Fritz and Dessler have been satisfactory. It's believed that after this season's tempering, their performance will be even more satisfying next season.

  On the front line, Pavel Kuka should be gone, but Yang Chen is still insisting, no doubt wanting to sell at a better price. With Marshall, Vanni and Klose, Kaiserslautern's front-line strength is absolutely not in question.

  Yang Cheng has this confidence because of the super coaching assistant system in his brain. As long as he is willing, throwing a few growth acceleration scrolls on Fan Ni and Klose will make them develop rapidly.

  Having thought of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel confident about the next season. After being promoted to the Bundesliga, he didn't just want to barely avoid relegation; he hoped to achieve more.

  But just as he was dazed and pondering, the celebrating players suddenly sneaked up from afar, it's unknown who was the first, then one by one they rushed to lift Yang Cheng up, directly throwing him high into the air.

  While the Kaiserstuhl was celebrating wildly that their team had won the European Cup Winners' Cup, Barcelona left the pitch somewhat subdued and returned to the dressing room.

  When the main referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Dekuip Stadium immediately became a stage for the winners to celebrate their victory. As losers, they could only return to the locker room, waiting for the upcoming embarrassing awards ceremony while slowly licking their wounds.

  I believe that even at this moment, Barcelona is still unwilling to accept this fact!

  Yang Cheng, as a winner, finally managed to extricate himself from the celebrating crowd of players, only to be immediately surrounded by reporters.

  "As a 25-year-old, but leading a professional team to win the European Treble, how do you feel at this moment?" Gran Nakamura was still the first person to interview Yang Cheng.

  This German journalist has always been exploring Yang Cheng, because he saw too many incredible things from Yang Cheng, such as his 13 consecutive victories during the Chemnitz period, and then took charge of Kaiserslautern.

  When Yang Chen first took over the Red Devils, the whole world was doubting how long he could last, but no one expected that after 1 year, he would use an outstanding and unbelievable transcript to make the whole world believe that he had successfully entered the annals of Kaiserslautern.

  "Very excited, but also very rational, at least a 2:1 score can't prove that our strength is enough to contend with Barca!" Yang Cheng said bluntly.

  Gran? Nakamura smiled slightly, "But everyone has started to praise the Kaiser Slautern you've trained, especially your coaching philosophy. It seems that the players are executing well and can lead a team that has just experienced relegation nightmares and a major earthquake, losing many main players, in just one year, showing remarkable strength. Many people want to know if you have any secrets?"

  "There's no secret, you know!" Yang Cheng pointed at Gran Nak and laughed.

  The latter also burst out laughing immediately, which shows how close their relationship is.

  "I've always emphasized one thing to my team, which is unity. I firmly believe that a team is an indivisible whole, and all players must serve the collective, no matter how big a star they are. And we will bring this sense of unity into the game and use it to defeat our opponents!"

  Gran? Nak nodded while listening, "What about your defeat in this match against Barcelona?"

  "What a great team, Bobby? Robson is a great coach and Barca have some fantastic players!"

  "What about Ronaldo?"

  "A phenomenal player who is almost unbeatable!"

  Gran Nak immediately burst out laughing, "Have you ever thought about who to celebrate with after winning your first European tournament trophy?"

  Yang Cheng was taken aback and hesitated for a moment, "I suddenly want to go home now!"

  Gran Nak shook his head, "Go home?"

  "Yes, I haven't been back home for many years. Since I came to Germany for further study, four years of studying abroad, plus the two busy seasons recently, it's already been six whole years since I last went back home. I want to go back and take a look!"

  "If you ask me, who I want to share my trophy with the most, then I can tell you that it's my parents. They are my only family members, but unfortunately..." Yang Cheng said, suddenly feeling a sour nose.

  Since he crossed over, he has been worried and didn't dare to go home. Until before and after the Spring Festival, he had thought about going back, but was pulled by the German Football Association to be a technical consultant, with a high salary, but missed the chance to go home.

  At this moment, he suddenly wanted someone to share his glory and joy with him.

  "I know they will never watch the live broadcast, although in my hometown, they also broadcast this match, but my parents are a pair of farmers living in poor rural areas, they don't even like football and never watch matches, but I still want to tell them one sentence!"

  "Dad, Mom, I did it!" Yang Cheng said this sentence in Chinese, and he himself couldn't help but want to cry!

  In his previous life, he had an unquenchable desire to go abroad and become a professional coach. However, his parents did not support him because they never thought that football could be a career, nor did they think Yang Cheng could become an excellent head coach. They simply hoped that after graduating from university, Yang Cheng would find a stable job, get married and have children.

  But as he walked today, Yang Cheng really had a lot of words and many things he wanted to tell them.

  His university grades weren't very good, and his parents, who had been working hard to support him all along, thought he was a bad apple. He became the lazy son in their eyes, but today, he hopes to use his own success to prove to them that his choice was right!

  After Gran Nak, Yang Cheng was surrounded by a group of reporters again, who threw out questions one after another.

  "Mr. Yang Cheng, I heard that Kaiserslautern plans to make some major changes within the team this season, is it true?"

  Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "No, nothing like that!"

  "But I heard that several veterans, including Bremen, Lutz, Kaderabek and others, have been included in the cleaning list. Pavel Kuka is also about to leave the team. The club has even stated that it will not rule out listening to offers from other teams for Olaf Marshall. Don't you know?"

  "I'm telling you again, nothing happened!" Yang Cheng's expression was very serious.

  It seemed as if the reporters on the scene immediately shifted the topic upon sensing a change in Yang's tone.

  "This season, Kaiser Slautern has already won the German Super Cup and European Champions Cup. The 2nd Bundesliga title is also in sight. Do you have confidence in the German Cup final?"

  "Of course, I said it before, we will not give up any game!"

  "If you can be promoted to Bundesliga with four crowns, doesn't that mean you will have higher expectations for next season's Bundesliga?"

  "I'm sorry, I don't want to reveal too much about this, and besides, the league hasn't ended yet, nor has the German Cup final been played. Nobody can predict what will happen, all I can say is that my players and I will work hard to play every match well!"

  "What about you? Have you ever thought of leaving Kaiserslautern?"

  Currently, there are rumors circulating that several Bundesliga clubs, including Schalke 04 and Hamburg, are interested in inviting Yang Chen to take over as coach. Each rumor has been spread with great fanfare, and the fact that Yang Chen's contract with Kaiserslautern contains certain loopholes, which have delayed his renewal with the club, has only added fuel to the speculation.

  "No! I had a good start in Kaiserslautern, and I hope to continue here, but who knows what the future holds?" Yang Chen smiled ambiguously.

  The board's restraint on him, and their determination to go against Yang Chen's will, the idea of clearing out many high-paid players in the team, all these made Yang Chen unacceptable. However, he was just a head coach with limited power, so currently his only option was to use the contract to fight for some power from the board.

  Yang Chen, now 25 years old, has already won two major cup competitions, the German Super Cup and the European Champions Cup. Winning the German Second Division title is also a must, and winning the German Cup final is equally within reach. Completing the quadruple crown is not an unattainable dream.

  And if even a four-time champion cannot wrest more power from the Kaiserslautern board, then Yang will really have to reconsider his future at the club.

  After the celebration ended, a brief awards ceremony was held on site.

  UEFA President Johansson presented the award in person, and the first to be awarded was the best shooter, naturally Ronaldo, who has been in a state like a monster since coming to Europe.

  The best player award was given to Bellon of Kaiserslautern, the white witch is currently the core of this Kaiserslautern organization. He played a very obvious role in both offense and defense, and his performance in this decisive battle was also crucial, especially that long pass to Dernilsen at the end.

  After these individual awards were presented, the runner-up medals were awarded to Barcelona, but Barcelona looked somewhat disappointed and unenthusiastic because they had originally come for the championship trophy and medal, only to end up with just the runner-up in the end. The players' frustration can be imagined.

  The last award was the championship of Kaiserslautern.

  Yang Cheng walked at the forefront of the team, and the players followed one after another behind him.

  When he came before Johansson to receive the award, UEFA President suddenly hugged Yang Chen tightly and specially let the on-site reporters take photos continuously.

  "Football needs more and more young people like you, although you're only 25 years old, but you're full of talent and have a bright future ahead of you. We all think very highly of you, keep up the good work!" Johan patted Yang Cheng's shoulder in admiration and encouragement.

  Also appearing on the podium with Joachim L?w were German Football Association president and Beckenbauer, as well as the chairman of Kaiserslautern, Fredrick. If it weren't for Kaiserslautern making it to the finals, he wouldn't have had the qualifications to sit alongside these big shots, but now, he's being praised by all sides as a master discoverer of talent.

  When he saw Johnsson and others praising Yang Cheng, he also made up his mind that no matter what, he couldn't let Yang Cheng go.

  This is not just about competition, but also business.

  Yang Chen's previous advertisement with Heidi Klum, although only broadcast on local TV stations in Kaiserslautern, had a great effect. Many sponsors saw the elegant and calm demeanor of Yang Chen, plus his handsome appearance and outstanding performance on the field, all of which greatly increased his commercial value.

  This season, Kaiserslautern's return to the Bundesliga is no longer in doubt. Several sponsors have contacted the club, including top sports equipment providers Adidas and Nike, but they all require that Yang Chen, the young and handsome head coach, be included in the sponsorship plan.

  Able to lead the team to the top of Europe at the age of 25, everyone looks forward to Yang Cheng's future, and everyone yearns to establish a cooperative relationship with this head coach as soon as possible.

  Of course, since the head coach's status is not as high as that of a star player at present, the hype surrounding Yang Chen is limited, but he will definitely have an impact on Kaiserslautern's commercial promotion plan for next season.

  So, from any angle, Frederick decided that he must keep Yang Cheng!
