"Have you thought it through? Do you want it steamed or braised?"

  In the center of Isola Bella's restaurant, on that round table, Mario with a fierce face stared fiercely at the two young people in front of him who were full of worry. His hand grasped a knife, as if he was about to chop it out at any time.

  Yang Cheng and Gatuso are like two fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

  "Hah!" Yang Cheng laughed dryly, "Why don't we just braise them all then!"

  "Right, right, Hong Shao Rou, Hong Shao!" Gatuso hastened to agree.

  Who knew Gatuso would interrupt. Mario's knife was swung in front of him, scaring the crap out of him, "You, shut up! We adults are talking, what right do you kids have to interrupt?"

  Gatuo was so scared that he quickly zipped his mouth shut and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he dared not speak again.

  "Father..." Monica said reproachfully beside him.

  "Don't you chime in!" Mario glared at his own daughter, then turned to Yang Cheng. "Children don't understand things, Mr. Yang, please don't mind!" His tone became extremely polite.

  Yang Cheng bitterly smiled, "Mario, put down the knife, put down the knife!"

  For some reason, when Yang Cheng saw that shiny kitchen knife, his heart felt a little creepy.

  Mario glanced at the kitchen knife in his hand and thought it was normal, but when he saw Yang Cheng's expression, he put the knife on the dining table and started fiddling with the food.

  "Tony!" he suddenly shouted again, "Damn it, are you trying to make me lose face on purpose? Where's the vinegar?"

  Tuo Pi Wei Chi Nu walked out from the kitchen with a helpless and bitter smile, saw Yang Cheng also looking at himself with a sympathetic expression, and smiled innocently, "I say, Mario, can't you be quieter, vinegar!"

  Mario immediately took over the vinegar handed over by Tony Vichino and then processed his food.

  Toni sat down beside Yang Cheng, "He and I are old acquaintances, we learned cooking skills from the same master, later he went to Scotland, I came to Germany, and we often keep in touch, but he is a fan of Naples, I am a fan of Juventus, every day arguing and quarreling, neither of us admits defeat."

  Tony pointed innocently around him, "So you see, I'm extremely unwelcome to him. As soon as he comes, he wants to turn my store into this state. Moreover, he never eats the dishes cooked in my store. He always tells people that my culinary skills are not as good as his, so he can't eat the dishes I cook."

  "It was originally like that, your culinary skills were never as good as mine!" Mario suddenly raised his head and shouted at Tony.

  I don't know if it's because he's been to Scotland or what, but this guy has a super loud voice. However, you can tell that his personality is very straightforward and he's the type of person who is a typical "big line" kind of guy, similar to Gattuso's father.

  Although Mario looks rough and unrefined, Monica is quite attractive. She can't be said to stand out from the crowd, but as a university student with a high level of education, she has an air of intellectualism about her.

  Yang Cheng thought to himself, Mario, Gattuso and Gattuso's father Frank were all rough and tough men, Monica was a literary and artistic girl, could she get used to being with them?

  But looking at the low-voiced whispers beside him, it was simply a real-life Beauty and the Beast couple. Yang Cheng suddenly felt sentimental, this love really could make people blind.

  Seeing Mario and Tony arguing again, Yang Cheng immediately stopped them, "Uh...Mario, let's not talk about food for now, let's talk about their situation first?"

  Gatto and Monica also noticed it at once when Yang Cheng pointed it out, looking at Mario with a nervous expression.

  The latter looked at Gattuso, then looked at his own daughter, the two hands tightly grasped together, and in his heart, he was not very comfortable. The first person he thought of was Yang Cheng, because he was elegant and refined, had a good demeanor, and had a career, but his daughter liked Gattuso instead.

  "Hey, Tony, say something!" Mario suddenly shouted at Tony.

  Toni forced a smile. "Ivan doesn't come here often, but Yang Cheng has mentioned it several times, should... um, should be alright!"

  Yang Chengzhen had a mind to knock his head against the wall and die, how did he end up circling back to himself?

  When everyone at the scene looked at him, Yang Cheng also smiled bitterly.

  "I'm Ivan's head coach, I've been with him for over a year, how to put it? He's not that meticulous little man, but I believe he's a loyal and dedicated good guy, Monica didn't choose the wrong person!"

  As soon as Yang Cheng's voice fell, Mario suddenly slapped the dinner table, making a loud noise that scared everyone on the spot, and those with weaker nerves almost got a heart attack.

  "Alright, I trust Tony, and Tony trusts you, so I'll trust you too!" Mario shouted to Yang Cheng.

  "Hey, you little brat! I'm okay with you dating my daughter, but you'd better watch yourself. If you interfere with her studies, I'll tear you apart!"

  Gatuso didn't dare to haggle at this time and hastily nodded in agreement.

  "And another thing!" Mario emphasized, "Before you two are officially engaged, if you dare to take liberties with my daughter or do anything improper, even if she willingly offers herself, it won't be acceptable. Otherwise... I'll..."

  Mario searched around and finally found the knife in front of him, grabbed it skillfully, and chopped heavily onto the chopping board, making a dull thud sound that scared Gatuso's scalp numb.

  "Got it?" Mario asked.

  Gatuso was so frightened that his eyes went wide. He didn't think twice and nodded in agreement.

  Monica was scolding her old man for speaking so crudely in front of outsiders, but Mario was a big boy and just laughed it off.

  Seeing him like this, Yang Cheng really felt sorry for Gattuso. With a foolish old father and now another foolish father-in-law, oh my god, how are they going to live?

  Just as the five of them were about to eat, the doorbell rang again and another customer pushed open the door and came in.

  "Huh? Heads, Ivan, what are you all doing here?" Barack's voice came from the doorway.

  Then came Kail, Daisler and seven or eight other players who walked in one after another. When they saw Yang Cheng and Gattuso, they all had a look of "surprise" on their faces.

  At this moment, Gatuso's face turned as red as the dry red wine on the table, and he simply couldn't find a hole in the ground to drill into and bury himself alive.

  "Oh, you're Ivan's teammates?" Mario asked roughly, without paying much attention.

  Everyone's attention was focused on Gattuso and Monica. They had heard that Gattuso was online dating, and now that they were seeing him in person for the first time, they were all full of curiosity.

  "Ah, yes, this should be Uncle, right?" Barack came forward with a mature and solemn expression.

  "If you don't mind, let's sit down and have something to eat, try my cooking!" Mario couldn't wait for a few more people to taste his culinary skills, best if he could directly take down Tonivichino.

  "Good...". Barack had just said half of the word "good", when Yang Cheng on the other side coughed, "Thank you, Uncle, but no need, we've all eaten, we're just here to take a look, we'll leave first, you guys take your time!"

  "We're off, head!" Before leaving, Barack and others didn't forget to bid farewell to Yang Cheng.

  Yang Cheng sent away the group of mischievous monkeys, and then looked at Gattuso, who had almost stuck his head under the dinner table, secretly amused in his heart. He estimated that this matter would immediately become the biggest gossip of the year for Kaiser Slautern.

  It's all fate!

  Yang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart.

  It is not known whether it was affected by the defeat at Fritz-Walter-Stadion, but Bayern Munich still looked very low-key and demoralized after a week of rest.

  Since the 0:3 defeat at Kaiserslautern, there have been rumors that the Bayern board of directors led by Beckenbauer are extremely dissatisfied with Trapattoni's tactics and the team's fighting spirit this season. They believe that the Italian has failed to turn the team into a strong and powerful unit, which is why they suffered the debacle at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, for which Trapattoni must take responsibility.

  There are also many players in the team who have been questioned, especially those who performed poorly and lacked fighting spirit in the game.

  For a moment, the entire team of players was suddenly plunged into an eerie silence.

  In the 19th round of the league, Bayern challenged Schalke 04 away from home. Trapattoni did not change his steady style. The game was proceeding steadily and stably until the 85th minute when both sides were tied. Stevens' team also performed strongly at home.

  The turning point of the game occurred in the 87th minute, when Stevens brought on Dutch striker Mühren to give the former Dutch international a chance to regain his form after being injured for most of the season. However, Müller seized an opportunity and scored with a header over Matth?us into the goal guarded by Kastner.

  And so it was 1:0, Bayern lost in Gelsenkirchen.

  Looking back at Yang Chen's Kaiserslautern away challenge to Berlin Hertha, after a week of rest, Yang Chen once again lined up the main lineup, but this time he made some adjustments to the formation.

  The goalkeeper is still Reineke, the back line is Gifford, Kyle and Lucio, the midfield double pivot is Bellon andGattuso, the left wing is Nedved, the middle road is Ballack, the right wing is Deisler. The striker combination is Denilson and Van Nistelrooy.

  The team's battle formation has become stronger. This is also because Yang Cheng realized a change in the game against Bayern, and he was thinking about whether going to war would bring out Kaiserslautern's strong attacking power even more.

  Although both are promoted horses, Hertha Berlin is not on the same level as Kaiserslautern in Yang Cheng's view. If he has so many outstanding stars and can only train the team to this level of Hertha Berlin, then he will not be able to continue mixing down.

  90 minutes into the game, Kaiserslautern thrashed Hertha Berlin 6-1 away from home. In this match, Erik Jendri?ek and Sr?an Laki? both scored two goals for the team, while Srdjan Lakic also had one goal on his account, and Naldo, Baljak and Deisler each scored one goal as well.

  One side wins big, the other loses in a row. Bayern's lead over Schalke 04 has increased to 10 points, while behind Bayern, teams like Leverkusen and Stuttgart are catching up. Meanwhile, Dortmund, who were pre-season title favourites, lost 2-4 away to Cologne, causing them to plummet to 14th place in the standings.

  This is absolutely unexpected by everyone, Schalke's team has not shown convincing fighting power from the beginning of this season to the end. Although Dortmund has not considered firing him yet, it is clear that Schalke will leave after the end of the season.

  The most worthwhile thing is who will become the master of Dortmund next season!

  What's interesting is that in an interview with the media, Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc, who was sidelined this season, mentioned when asked by reporters who would be his most suitable successor to rebuild Dortmund, Zorc brought up Kaiserslautern's rising star Yang Chenhao!

  "If he were willing to come to Dortmund, I have no doubt that he would lead this team back to the championship and dominate European football!"

  Yang Cheng did not respond to this, neither denying nor clarifying, but simply letting things continue in such an ambiguous manner, as he was happy to use the matter to gain some leverage for himself.

  He liked this situation of taking the initiative in negotiations because it allowed him to better protect himself.

  To put it bluntly, whether it's a player or a head coach, when facing the club, they are always at a disadvantage.

  Kai Havertz aside, the delay in signing a new contract with Dortmund has also become an unresolved mystery for Youssoufa Moukoko, which was supposed to be finalized in the summer but was deliberately delayed by Yang Chen until now.

  However, after entering December, rumors have it that Bellon's agent Mascatti has already announced to the outside world that if Kaiserslautern is sincere, they must solve Bellon's transfer within a month, otherwise his player will submit a transfer application and formally enter the transfer market.

  For this trick, Yang Cheng had seen it before, but he also knew that Bellon's transfer must be settled as soon as possible. At least the undecided transfer has affected Bellon's state to some extent.

  But in this matter he and Kaiser had taken the initiative, and he was in no hurry.

  Apart from transfers, the biggest event in German football after entering December is the annual charity gala of the Sepp Herberger Foundation.

  Sepp Herberger as the director of the Miracle of Bern, was very famous in Germany, he was born in 1897, and died in 1997, exactly 100 years later.

  It just so happens that in this year, the Sepp Herberger Foundation, founded by the German Football Association in 1997, has also decided to hold its annual charity gala as a centenary birthday celebration for Herberger and will invite prominent figures from politics, business and sports to attend.

  Germany also attaches great importance to this matter. As early as March 28th of this year, on the occasion of Sepp Herberger's centenary birthday, Deutsche Post issued a commemorative stamp with a face value of 100 pfennigs, featuring Sepp Herberger and the green lawn of the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern.

  On 28 April, on the 20th anniversary of his death, a major memorial ceremony was held in Wei?bach, and German Railways even named a train at Wei?enbach station after him.

  In Mannheim, where Sepp Herberger was born, and in Weissheim, where he died, there are many schools, sports facilities and pitches named after him to commemorate the late football legend.

  Kaiserslautern, which has a close connection with the Miracle of Bern, also held a series of ceremonies. The Kaiserslautern club actively participated in them. The team was invited to participate in the charity gala in Mannheim and donated many auction items for fundraising at the charity gala.

  In the 20th round of the league, Kaiserslautern played at home against Cologne.

  Yang Chen once again arranged what he thought was the strongest 352 tactic, and the team won 3-0 at home against Cologne, re-establishing their position as league leaders.

  This was also the last match of the team before the winter break, after which the team traveled to Mannheim on the next day to participate in a charity gala organized by Seppl Herberger, and then disband the team for a month-long winter break.

  The winter break in the Bundesliga is shorter than that of the 2. Bundesliga, and players only get a month's rest before resuming training and preparation for battle.

  This also gave Yang Cheng a headache, because he originally wanted to spend the New Year with his parents and daughter at home. It seems that the plan has been ruined, so he can only take advantage of the winter break to hurry back home and accompany his parents for a reunion, making up for it.

  On December 21st in the evening, Kaiserslautern collectively arrived at Mannheim.

  This time, the wine festival will be held in the Rose Garden Hall of Mannheim, which can be considered as a landmark building in Mannheim, reflecting the high attention paid to this top wine festival by all walks of life.

  Although Sepp Herberger was a football coach, his influence has already exceeded football and spread to all walks of life in Germany. Therefore, except for football, almost all outstanding figures in various fields in Germany will attend the funeral.

  When the Kaizer Chiefs team arrived in Zimbabwe, there were already many Kaizer Chiefs fans waiting to welcome the team's arrival. When they saw Yang Cheng leading the players out of the bus one after another, the fans on the scene shouted loudly: "Kaizer! Kaizer!"

  As Mannheim is close to Kaiserslautern, there are also many fans of Kaiserslautern here, making the chant very impressive and attracting attention from people around.

  From this round of shouting, everyone can hear Yang Cheng's weight in the current Kaizerslautern team.

  It wasn't until Yang Chen finished his greetings that the fans started cheering for other players' names.

  Dressed in formal attire, the players walked into the conference hall, and everyone immediately dispersed. Yang Cheng saw Beckenbauer walking over from afar, accompanied by a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked unfamiliar.

  Yang Chen has been active in the German football scene for some time. At the same time, he also works at the German Football Association, but many German football professionals know him a little bit, and this guy is seeing him for the first time, wondering: Where did this guy come from? Looks like trouble!
