  For Yang Cheng's decision to entrust the two movie scripts with great potential for bestsellers entirely to himself, Brookheimer was thrilled because he knew that being able to give such a trust at their second meeting showed Yang Cheng's trust and sincerity towards him, which moved him deeply, almost treating Yang Cheng as his bosom friend.

  But for Yang Cheng, the two screenplays were just a matter of three or four days' work. If he wanted to, he could write out another two screenplays that would be no less impressive than "The Sixth Sense" and "Cast Away". As for entrusting them to Bruckheimer, it was mainly because Yang himself was not familiar with Hollywood's operational methods.

  If Yang Cheng knew that his shirking of responsibility would inadvertently lead to Brookheimer secretly vowing to go all out to help him sell the script, he would surely find it unbelievable. But life is often full of all sorts of misunderstandings, with both bad and good consequences!

  After handing over the script, Yang Cheng no longer had more time to stay in Hollywood, although Heidi Klum wanted him to stay for a few more days. Yang Cheng had to go to Silicon Valley in Los Angeles for a trip and stayed there for one or two days before returning to Europe to take advantage of the World Cup qualifiers to inspect the players of Kaiserslautern.

  During his time in Silicon Valley, Yang Chen was taken by Chen Xi on a tour of Stanford University.

  The university had a large student body, and Yang Zhen didn't expect to recognize the two future founders of Google, but he asked Chen Xi to pay attention to the investment intentions within Stanford University.

  Any Stanford University student who wants to start a business will simply outline their research and entrepreneurial projects on the school's website or bulletin board, hoping to get support from alumni and secure their first investment.

  Google is no exception, the first investment of the two founders came from Stanford alumni, which was a good deal with low risk and high return. Yang Cheng naturally did not want to miss it, the only worry was that Chen Xi would not stay at Stanford University for too long, so they might not be able to meet.

  Yang Cheng also opened an account in the US stock market. Recently, Soros and other financial sharks have been sweeping through Asia's finances, causing a stir in the global financial sector. Only Yang Cheng has a clear idea of what these sharks are after, so he plans to take advantage of this opportunity to make some small profits.

  As for the money, Yang Cheng temporarily couldn't take out too much and could only wait until Brookheimer sold the script on his end, received the script fees, and then went to make a killing in the stock market.

  Even if both scripts are sold, at most it would be $20-30 million, and taking it to the stock market may not necessarily make much profit, but at least it can alleviate Yang Cheng's current urgent need.

  Just get him through this difficult period, and with his familiarity with the Brookheimer route, he can then coach Kaiserslautern while moonlighting as a screenwriter to earn some extra money, which should be enough to barely make it through the start-up phase.

  "Today's hard work is for a better harvest tomorrow! Everyone's entrepreneurial period is spent in torment, and I am no exception. As long as I can grit my teeth and get through it, my tomorrow will be more brilliant than anyone else!"

  Yang Cheng could guess that his next few days would be quite difficult, but in order to get through the entrepreneurial period, he had to hold on no matter what!

  In addition, Yang Cheng also took the opportunity to understand the feasibility of establishing a player physical database during this trip to Silicon Valley. He negotiated with several well-known software service providers in Silicon Valley on behalf of Kaiserslautern and made some initial progress.

  According to Yang Cheng's idea, as long as the plan is not very expensive, he can take charge and settle it, but if it requires a huge investment, with Kaiserslautern's currently weak financial situation, it is simply impossible to achieve.

  Yes, Yang Chen is a very stubborn and pursuing person, but he is not a blind self-righteous, regardless of the club's finances idiot!

  After staying in Silicon Valley for two days, Yang Cheng took a plane back to Germany.

  After meeting Paul Baier at Frankfurt Airport, the two traveled to Belarus together to watch a European World Cup qualifier between Belarus and Sweden.

  Sweden won this match 2-1 away from home against Belarus, but Larsen, who started the game, did not score.

  "It seems that years of playing in midfield have worn off his sense of smell for goals!" Paul Bayer sighed, he was more and more convinced of Yang Cheng's vision, so he thought that Larsson's delay in scoring was not because Yang Cheng's vision was bad, but because Larsson had played too many years as a midfielder.

  But Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, there must be another reason!"

  Yang Cheng stood up from the stands, looking at Larsson who was walking towards the player's tunnel with a disappointed face. There was no joy of winning on the Swedish striker's face, but instead, there were thick worries and concerns.

  "After going back, understand his recent situation and his living conditions!" Yang Cheng instructed.

  Paul? Bayer shrugged and smiled in response.

  As Yang Cheng's deputy, he naturally had to take over these trivial matters. This wasn't saying that Paul Bayle was a handyman, but rather that Yang Cheng attached great importance to these trivial matters and wouldn't entrust them to anyone else unless it was someone he trusted the most.

  Two people walked through the formalities from Belarus to Czech Republic.

  On the 20th and 24th, the Czech Republic has two matches, against the Faroe Islands at home and Slovakia away. Both teams are not strong, and the Czech Republic should be able to easily take down their opponents. Nedved's role in this Czech team is becoming more and more important, especially in the match against the Faroe Islands at home where he played a crucial role.

  "This kid is treating my words as nothing! Yang Cheng looked at Ai Jiang, who was performing well on the court, sprinting all over the place, and scolded with a heart full of resentment."

  Paul Bayler couldn't help but laugh at the side, the club's head coach always felt awkward watching national team matches. If the players performed poorly, he would feel that they had tarnished his reputation and lost face. But if the players performed too well, it was also a disaster, because this proved that they had used up all their energy in the national team match.

  It's like N'Diaye, playing two games in four days, even missing the fourth round of the league and then rushing back to prepare for the fifth round. Even if his physical condition is excellent, it's hard to cope with such a dense schedule.

  Of course, Yang Cheng can insist on using him, but who knows what the effect will be.

  On 20th, Germany also challenged Northern Ireland away from home.

  Barak and Kyle both appeared in the big list of games, because Sommer, Kohler and other veterans were injured, so Kyle appeared in the starting lineup, playing center back, performing mediocrely, but not as brilliant as in Kaiserslautern, after all, this German team's tactics are very different from Kaiserslautern.

  It was Barak who came on as a substitute in the second half and performed well, scoring with a long shot to add icing to Germany's cake, earning his first goal for the German national team.

  With the arrival of Yang Chen, the fate of Balak and Kyle has changed. It is believed that they will appear more frequently in the German national team lineup. In addition, stars like Schneider, Daisler, Fritz, Klose, and Frings will also become famous earlier than before.

  On the 21st, after traveling throughout Europe, Yang Cheng returned to Kaiserslautern.

  On that day, the team reassembled and prepared for the 4th round of the Bundesliga in two days' time, when Kaiserslautern would host Schalke 04 at home.

  Knock... knock... ...

  "Come in!" Yang Cheng sat in his own office, responding after hearing the knock on the door.

  Larson pushed open Yang Cheng's office door and walked in with a nervous look on his face.

  For no reason at all, the head coach rarely calls players into his office. Is it because he himself can't score a goal?

  "Sit down, Henrik!" Yang Cheng pointed to his own front and then gathered up the things in front of him.

  Larson nodded and sat down slightly awkwardly in front of Yang Cheng.

  "How does it feel coming to the team for this period of time?" Yang Cheng stopped what he was doing, stared at Larsson and asked with a smile.

  "Alright, chief!" Larsson replied hastily.

  Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Henrik, let's just chat like friends."

  "It's really good, the club teammates and staff have been nice to us." Larsson reiterated.

  "But your condition doesn't seem to be good, having played 1 game of 90 minutes so far and multiple substitute appearances. Moreover, I also watched the match between Sweden and Belarus on site, and your condition was general, even terrible."

  Larson's heart was called and he hurriedly guaranteed: "Don't worry, head, I will work hard to train and adjust my state!"

  Yang Cheng saw through Larson's mind at once, shook his head and smiled slightly. "Don't be nervous, Henrik. You are a key player I've brought in. I'm a person who attaches great importance to economic benefits. At least from my perspective, giving up on you versus helping you solve your current difficulties, the latter is more economically beneficial."

  Larson was confused by Yang's words. What does kicking a ball have to do with economics?

  Yang Cheng didn't continue to tease him, opened the drawer in front of himself, and took out a set of keys. "This is the key to the rental house next door to your residence. You can bring your family over to live together. The club will bear the rent for 3 months so that your family can take care of your wife nearby."

  Larson was stunned, he had wanted to rent that unit for a long time, but couldn't find the landlord, didn't expect the club to know about it and actually helped him rent the unit.

  "Besides, I've made some inquiries and found out that your wife is already full-term. Knowing you don't have much of a mind for football at the moment, I've decided to give you some time off, let you stay by her side over the next few days, take good care of her until the baby arrives. And during this period, your salary will still be paid, and we've already arranged for you to be admitted to Kaiserslautern Hospital whenever you need to."

  Larson was stunned and by the end of it all, he was completely Spartan.

  "Head...this..." The Swede was deeply grateful and wanted to say something.

  But Yang Cheng reached out to interrupt him, "Don't say those unnecessary words, I'm not trying to make you feel grateful or anything else, I'm just helping one of my players regain their form. As long as you can return to the team and play with your whole heart, that's enough!"

  There are only two rounds of matches left, followed by another two weeks of international match days. In addition, both Van Nistelrooy and Klose can play as forwards and neither has national team duties, so Yang Chen takes the opportunity to give Larsson a maternity leave.

  "Henrik!" Yang Cheng slowly stood up from his seat, walked out of the office desk range, came to Larsen's side, gently patted his shoulder, and encouraged: "You are my key player, I value you very much, I believe you won't lose to Rude, you have the ability to play as a main force, so don't disappoint me, give yourself a little more confidence!"

  Larson nodded heavily in agreement.

  At this moment, the Swedish player is deeply grateful to Yang Cheng in his heart. He feels that his head coach really cares about him and is even more touched by the warmth in his heart. He vows that after the child is born, he will definitely use continuous goals to repay his head coach.

  "You go out first, I've already given instructions. Go back home and accompany your wife, and give her my regards!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

  Larson thanked him sincerely and then turned around and left Yang Cheng's office.

  After Larsson left, Yang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed again.

  "Damn national team match day!" Yang Cheng cursed in his heart.

  Berron and Denerlsen, two key players, will return to South America for the World Cup qualifiers, and Nedved will also be absent from the 4th round, and even the 5th round is not guaranteed. Gatuso, Kyle, Kifu and other players have all played full games for their national teams, now it's really hard for Kaizerslautern to come up with a main force.

  Yang Cheng can't help but feel proud of his summer signings, if he hadn't brought in some powerful players to increase the team's depth, he would be facing a situation where he has no one to use, and would have to send out a bunch of young players with poor abilities, and Kaiserslautern might even lose at home to Schalke 04.

  Looking back now, although the main players are absent, at least they can still form a lineup to compete with Schalke 04.

  "No wonder those clubs will rebel soon!" Yang Cheng sighed.

  Nowadays, national team matches are basically irregular, with one or two games scheduled almost every month, which directly disrupts the league and club matches.

  It's just like the Bundesliga this season, the league has just started for 3 rounds and then stopped for 2 weeks. This will completely disrupt the state of the team that has been adjusted with great difficulty, and then hastily reassemble to play two games, only to welcome another two weeks of international match days. Isn't this playing with people?

  Players like Bebeto and Dener are going to have to shuttle back and forth between South America and Europe, playing two games each, it's obvious they're not going to play soccer but go on a tour.

  It is precisely for this reason that the clubs have come together to rebel, prompting FIFA and UEFA to adjust international match days in order to keep European club competitions as compact as possible.

  There was even a proposal to hold the league together and then schedule national team matches in the blank period before the end of the league, but this proposal was not implemented due to opposition from many people.

  "If it were according to European labor laws, this would be called justified rebellion!" Yang Cheng shook his head with a bitter smile.

  The starting lineup he came up with for this game is also not easy, Reinke is the main goalkeeper who can't be moved by thunder, on the back line he prepared to use 4 defenders, Dedek, Lucio, Luis? Huett and Fritz formed the defense line, in midfield Salihamidzic played left route, Deko and Frens formed mid route, Daisler played right route, Ballack still played attacking midfielder, single striker is Van Nistelrooy.

  This set of 451 tactics is often used in training, so it's also quite handy to use. Although the main players have changed a lot, relying on home court advantage, they should still be able to compete with Schalke 04.

  Although he already had a starting lineup in mind, Yang Cheng would not reveal it. He only arranged for the team to practice attacking routines more during training.

  Since taking over Kaiserslautern, Yang Chen has invested all his achievements in the growth and development of players and the team's offensive running position, except for buying defensive position services once, to strengthen the team's attacking power.

  Kaiserslautern's attacking ability is excellent, with passing, creativity, width and tempo all reaching 86 points, while intercepting and man-marking are slightly lower, but due to Kaiserslautern's tactics, they also have 77 and 79 points, plus 83 points of spirit.

  It was because of his confidence in this system that Yang Cheng decided to reserve the main lineup and prepare for the upcoming away challenge against Bochum, while using most of the substitute players to play against Schalke 04 and take advantage of the home field to win over the opponent.

  Currently, Kaiserslautern is in the leading position of the league, but they are under tremendous pressure, especially from teams with the same score, every team is chasing after them fiercely. If Kaiserslautern relaxes even a little bit, it's very likely that they will be pulled down from the leading position.

  In contrast, Schalke 04, led by Dutch coach Stevens, performed admirably in this match, despite being on the verge of bankruptcy. They won 2-1 against Leverkusen in the first round of the league and 1-0 against Dortmund at home in the third round, taking two tough matches in a row.

  The team led by Stevens may not have achieved any spectacular results in attack, but their defense is absolutely outstanding. The current team has Lehmann, the German goalkeeper at his peak, Thomas Linke, who will be a mainstay of Bayern's defense for years to come, and Marco Wilmots, the captain of the Belgian national team, in midfield. Up front, there is Martin Max, who later reached his peak at Munich 1860 and became the top scorer in the Bundesliga twice.

  The current Schalke 04's tactics are defensive counterattacks, relying on solid defense, and leaving Martin? Marx to counterattack in the front.

  So Yang Cheng dared to use a substitute lineup in this game, because he was very clear in his heart that this was a competition between spear and shield, just to see if the spear pierced the shield or the shield blocked the spear.

  Yang Cheng is very confident in the attacking power of his team, even if it's just a substitute lineup!
