The performance of the players on the field is quite satisfactory.

  Although the score was 2:2, Kaiserslautern was at home, and Stuttgart managed to tie the game away from home, which is a good result anyway, especially considering that Stuttgart's current situation is not very ideal due to the influence of national team matches.

  In the other two games that took place not long ago, Leverkusen was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Munich 1860, and Dortmund was also held to a 2-2 draw at home by Karlsruhe. Although there was also a game where Bayern Munich won 3-0 at home against Berlin Hertha, the opponent was too weak at that time.

  The impact of national team matches on these strong teams is slowly emerging, and even if the bench thickness is very thick, like this season's consecutive national team matches, frequent back-and-forth shuttle runs have an absolutely lethal impact on the team.

  As a result, scenes of strong teams performing poorly have emerged one after another.

  In L?w's view, being able to hold Kaiserslautern to a draw away from home was an acceptable result.

  He glanced at the distant young general Yang Cheng, this Chinese has been a sensation in German football recently. The team he led had 4 wins and 1 draw in the first five rounds of this season, undefeated. Originally, Lefu thought about defeating his opponent, but ultimately failed to do so.

  "It seems like the match is going to end in a draw after all!" Luffy thought to himself.

  Both sides have played their cards to a similar extent, and no particularly unexpected card faces have appeared. Unless one side has prepared a surprise attack, the competition will likely end with a small difference in score.

  When Lef saw Yang Chen calling Larson, who was warming up in the distance, to his side, he thought Yang Chen wanted to strengthen the midfield.

  Larsson played as a midfielder at Feyenoord, after coming to Kaiserslautern, although Yang Cheng pushed him up to the front line, but he didn't score, so Lef's evaluation of him wasn't very high.

  But Yang Cheng obviously has high hopes for Larson.

  "Are you dressed?" Yang Cheng asked irrelevantly.

  Larson nodded immediately with a smile, his face full of excitement.

  Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Are you ready then?"

  "Ready, chief." Larsson's face was like a puerile guest seeing a naked woman on the bed, excited and restless.

  "That store, in Stuttgart!"

  "No problem!"

  Larson walked out with a big laugh, ready to be replaced.

  Yang Cheng had previously told him that he would be a substitute and reminded him that he would definitely play in this game, but he did not let him play for a long time.

  From the team taking the lead to being tied again, Larsen watched anxiously on the bench, he was so frustrated that he wished he could rush up and replace his teammates to kill the opponent, but Yang Cheng seemed not to have this idea yet.

  Anxious waiting there, waited for a full 75 minutes, Yang Cheng reminded him to substitute.

  At this time, Larson, who had been holding back his breath, came to the scene and was so excited that he almost rushed onto the court immediately.

  Yang Cheng this time replaced Flinns with Larson, who was clearly dissatisfied with Yang's decision to use him. As he walked off the court, his face was filled with discontent and he didn't even greet Yang, directly walking into the locker room.

  Yang Cheng glanced at the young man with a hint of anger in his eyes, knowing that he was being defiant, but he didn't care about that. Instead, he decided to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and make him understand.

  Larsson came on and Kaiserslautern immediately switched to a 3-5-2.

  Lucio, Klose and Fritz play in the backcourt, Deco and Riedle play double back waist, Dedet plays wing forward, Schneider and Daisler respectively in the middle road and right road, Klose and Larsen form a double front.

  Of course, Yang Chen's change of formation is not something that anyone would say out loud, but everyone saw it - Larsson appeared on the front line, Dedé moved up to midfield, Reid withdrew to play as a defensive midfielder and so on.

  So-called tactical formations are just for distinction and memorization, the tactics on the field are all fluid, it's hard to see what kind of formation is being used, and they're almost all irregular positions, can't be as symmetrical and beautiful as on a tactical board.

  In the face of Yang Cheng's substitutions and adjustments, Lef decided to remain unchanged for the time being and observe the situation before making a move.

  But what he didn't expect was that Larsson seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as soon as he came on, and he was excited beyond words.

  He came on for only 2 minutes, and in a disturbance in front of the penalty area, he suddenly dropped his foot, cut off the ball, and then brought it to the right side of the penalty area, passing it to the middle road at the baseline.

  Klose's header from the back post, this young newcomer who was highly valued by Marshall used his body to firmly hold the position, accurately diving and heading the ball, also cleverly hitting a high ball, the goalkeeper couldn't reach it, 3:2.

  Klose's second goal completely exploded the frenetic atmosphere at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion.

  The players of Kaiserslautern were choked with anger, but now that they see the situation improving, they suddenly rushed to Stuttgart.

  In the 86th minute, it was Larsson again. The Swedish striker pointed to the right side of the penalty area with his eyes, and Klose cleverly pulled to the left, attracting the attention of two defenders. However, Schneider passed the ball to the top right corner of the penalty area, where Larsson made a direct run into the penalty area, receiving the ball and shooting with his right foot.

  The goalkeeper stretched out his arms as far as possible, but the ball still slipped under his armpit and into the net, 4-2.

  Larsson rushed directly to the baseline after scoring, then pulled up his jersey and saw that he was wearing a white undershirt with "Dedicated to Jordan" written on it.

  Then he ran around the field, his right thumb in his mouth, making a sucking motion, and this Swedish striker, who had fulfilled his promise to cut off all his long hair and become bald, was obviously dedicating this goal to his son born yesterday.

  The fans at the scene gave a warm applause and cheers to Zlatan Ibrahimovi?, this is also their first time to encourage this Swedish striker so much, his performance after coming off the bench in this game was absolutely world-class.

  The celebration is over and the game resumes.

  Afterwards, Kaiserslautern continued to launch an all-out attack, and in the last few minutes, they even launched a fierce counterattack, which Stuttgart said was precarious, with the entire defense line on the verge of collapse.

  Leverkusen wanted to adjust the team for a counter-attack, but Kaiserslautern's tactics were premeditated. By the time Stuttgart wanted to counter-attack, there was little game time left, and the 2-goal deficit made Stuttgart lose heart and morale.

  Some people believe that under Kaiserslautern's strong attacking pressure, Stuttgart still has the opportunity to force a draw against their opponents.

  After Larsen came on as a substitute, his performance also made Yang Cheng feel very pleased. He originally just wanted the Swede to go up and rush for a goal, but he didn't expect him to dominate two goals in one go. 4:2, Kaiserslautern was leading everywhere, but it was extremely

  Difficultly won Stuttgart, continue to ensure the league leading position.

  …………

  After finishing the league match, Kaizer Chiefs did not have time to rest and went straight to Iceland to challenge BV away.

  This team is a strong contender in the league, but compared to teams from major European leagues, they are somewhat less powerful. However, the climate here is indeed the biggest obstacle for away games.

  Yang Chen this time visiting Iceland, still did not bring the full main force, because Kaiserslautern's strength is obviously stronger than the opponent, even if it is a substitute lineup, as long as they can overcome the weather problem, defeating BV team is no problem.

  It was in the seventh round of the league that the team had to play away against Karlsruhe, which was also a tough match.

  In this case, Yang Cheng played with a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup against BV team. Fan Ni started and scored a goal for Kaiserslautern in the first half with just a few chances.

  In the second half, Yang Chen replaced Larson again with a gold medal substitute. The player and Vanney formed a double striker, and as a result, they slaughtered Iceland. Vanney scored twice, and Larson also had a goal. The two shooters helped Kaiserslautern defeat Iceland's BV team 4-1 away from home.

  Having won this match, Kaiserslautern is virtually one foot in the next round of the DFB-Pokal.

  Back in Germany, the team faced a away challenge against Karlsruher.

  Yang arranged for Fan Ni and Larson to start together this time, with Deng Nielsen, Bellon, Nedved, Barak and Daisler starting in midfield, while Lucio, Kifu and Keer started on the back line.

  As a result, this team was thrashed 4-0 by Karlsruher in the first half.

  However, in the second half, Kaiserslautern's performance became increasingly lacking in power, especially after Karlsruhe launched a counterattack and scored a goal with Kyereh's mistake, Kaiserslautern was even more passive on the field.

  In this case, Yang Cheng was forced to make consecutive substitutions and adjustments, ultimately maintaining a 4-1 score until the end of the first half.

  After this round of matches, Bayern and Stuttgart have successively defeated their opponents. On the other hand, Leverkusen and Dortmund both suffered losses away from home, apparently still reeling from the national team matches.

  It's no wonder, though. After the national team matches ended, the teams didn't even have a chance to rest. These teams are all fighting on multiple fronts in the Bundesliga, European competitions and cup tournaments. Although they have a deeper bench, with the start of the European competition, the players' physical strength and condition have been severely challenged.

  Kaiserslautern's poor performance in the second half was also due to physical problems. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Vanni and Larsen as a dual striker in the first half, Kaiserslautern would have had difficulty winning this match.

  After finishing seventh in the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern followed up with a 0-5 away win against Meppen in the DFB-Pokal mid-week.

  This game Kaiserslautern is with substitute lineup, but still a big win over the opponent, from which it's not hard to see Kaiserslautern's strength, compared to last season, there is indeed a huge improvement, at least in terms of substitutes.

  On September 26th, back in the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern hosted Werder Bremen at home.

  This team, which helped Rahnagel ascend to the throne of German football, has also been deeply influenced by Rahnagel's tactical ideas. His teams have always emphasized defense as their foundation, although in the 94/95 season they showed a strong offense that led them to first place in the Bundesliga.

  It is estimated that this also has to do with Rehhagel being thrashed 0-12 by Dortmund before his debut, after which his coaching style tended towards defense.

  After Rehhagel's departure, Werder Bremen ushered in a period of turmoil, and this season also started with great ups and downs.

  Kaiserslautern dominated the home game, still focusing on offense, Werder Bremen defended and counterattacked. The two teams played out wave after wave of attacks in the first half, with Kaiserslautern leading 2-0 over Werder Bremen thanks to goals from Vratislav and Balakov.

  Just as the game was about to end, Werder Bremen equalized in the 48th minute of the second half, taking advantage of Kaiserslautern's defensive mistake, and the score became 2-1.

  In the end, thanks to a solid midfield and Gatusso's outstanding performance, Kaiserslautern managed to defeat Werder Bremen 2-1 at home, defending their top spot in the league once again.

  Two days later, at home, Kaiserslautern welcomed Icelandic club IBV.

  This time Kaiserslautern played with a substitute lineup, relying on Larsen's two goals to defeat BV 2-0 at home and advance to the next round. Kaiserslautern's next opponent is B of Belgium, with the first leg scheduled for October 23, when Kaiserslautern will play away.

  Back to the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern went to Munich 1860 in the ninth round of the league and once again played a game with two halves that were worlds apart.

  In the first half, thanks to goals from Vanni, Barak and Dernis, Kaiserslautern led 3-0 away at Munich 1860. However, in the second half, Munich 1860 regained control, scoring one goal against Kaiserslautern and almost scoring more. Although they won 3-1 away at Munich 1860, Yang Cheng's mood did not improve because he clearly felt that the players' physical condition was getting worse bit by bit.

  As the head coach of a team, Yang Cheng clearly recognizes that one of the main reasons why the team performed unbalanced in the second half is not because of the team's insufficient strength or poor tactics, but because of the players' physical fitness.

  Back and forth shuttle battle, had a great impact on Kaiserslautern.

  Look, after finishing the ninth round of the league, the national team reassembled, which is absolutely a torture for Kaiserslautern.

  After the away game against Munich 1860, Yang Chen disbanded the team on the spot, and he himself went to Frankfurt, where the German Football Association is located, with Bayern Munich chairman Beckenbauer.

  "You guys should stop messing around with reforming the youth training all day, first reform the competition schedule!" The two were on a train, discussing recent matches, when Yang Cheng suddenly became enraged.

  Beckenbauer also shook his head, he too had not been spared Trapattoni's spittle in this regard. "You know, these are controlled by FIFA and UEFA, we clubs are powerless!"

  Here is the translation:

  Talking to this point, Beckenbauer smiled wryly. Nowadays, European clubs are very tragic. They pay players' salaries, but they also have to compromise and let players go to the national team to work for FIFA and UEFA for free. What's even more outrageous is that clubs must also accommodate FIFA and UEFA in terms of scheduling.

  If Yang Cheng had not been a die-hard fan in his previous life and hadn't delved deep into the competitions, he wouldn't be so furious now. But when he actually became a head coach, he realized that the current state of these clubs was truly pathetic.

  This is equivalent to Yang Cheng buying a mobile phone, and his municipal leader seeing that the style of his mobile phone is novel and unique. Upon inquiry, it turns out to be an Apple iPhone 4 launched by Steve Jobs. So he says, "Yang Cheng, let me use your mobile phone first, and when you want to use it again, come find me to borrow it."

  This is called turning the tables, and it's unlimited and uncontrolled!

  Even Yang Cheng couldn't help but want to cry!

  "It can't go on like this, every even-numbered year there are major tournaments, the national team has to take time out for training and preparation, odd-numbered years have qualifying matches, plus other events, so no matter what year it is, the league has to be suspended to make way for national team matches!" Yang Cheng was furious.

  Look, this season's Bundesliga has only played nine rounds and has been suspended three times, each time for two weeks. Heaven knows if those guys who arranged the pre-match schedule are from the Chinese Football Association!

  "We have also been trying all along, but you see that the German Football Association is also powerless!" Beckenbauer sighed.

  Part of the income of the German Football Association comes from the Bundesliga, and the Bundesliga has been affected. The German Football Association is naturally also affected. Although national team matches are important, in reality everyone knows that league matches are more important. It's just that FIFA and UEFA have forced it down, and the German Football Association can't do anything about it.

  Yang Cheng finally understood the meaning of 14 and casually said: "Since each country's Football Association is powerless, it's better for the major clubs to organize themselves, form a 14th, and confront UEFA. Unless UEFA wants to offend all the giants at once, they will have to compromise!"

  Yang Cheng's casual remark suddenly made Beikenbaoer's eyes light up.

  “14？”

  Yang Cheng still hadn't realized anything, he just looked out the window and muttered to himself: "Hm, 14, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Ajax, Dortmund, Liverpool, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Eindhoven and Dortmund."

  He unconsciously seemed to be reciting his own past life's football memories.

  But Beckenbauer suddenly flashed a stern expression after listening, and immediately realized that the several teams listed by Yang Cheng all had one thing in common, which was that they had all won the Champions League, also known as the top league in each country.

  If these clubs are pulled together, with the interests of these teams tied together, as long as they have the strength to call on FIFA and UEFA under the premise of common club interests, this can greatly improve the current situation and status of the club.

  If we can cut off the autocratic rule of FIFA and UEFA, I believe that all European clubs will benefit from it.

  Yang Chen had no idea that his casual remark would spark so many associations in Beikenbaoer and lead him to take concrete action.

  As for the establishment of 14, Yang Cheng can be said to be a historical necessity. Even if there was no 14, some organization like F4 would have appeared to play the role of 14.

  That is to say, many things are destined in the dark!

  This time, Yang Cheng may have advanced the establishment of 14.
