63 Trapattoni's Fury (Part 2)

63 Trapatoni's rage (Part 2)

With the 78th minute, after Desler's genius attack surpassed the score again, Bayern seemed to have completely lost the fighting spirit and confidence to resist. They seemed at a loss on the court, and their performance was a huge difference from before.

Even the captain Mattus, Klinsman and others seemed to lack fighting spirit, which made Trapatoni on the sidelines so angry that he almost went crazy, especially after seeing Marshall almost win another game for Kaiserslautern in the 87th minute, he was even furious.

The game ended in 3:1. With the outstanding performance of the genius Deisler, Kaiserslautern sank Bayern's brilliant green battleship, one pass and one shot, and sent Kaiserslautern to the semi-finals of the German Cup. Deisler was also selected by the media as the best player on the spot.

As usual, after the game, the head coaches of both sides returned to the locker room one after another, met their players, and then attended a press conference.

Fritz and Walter Stadium's press conference were arranged in a relatively simple manner, but the reporters who came to attend this meeting obviously did not care about these flaws. They only care about whether they could get the answers they wanted.

The first to get the right to ask questions was Granne Nak, a local Liberty News reporter in Kaiserslautern. He and Yang Cheng are good friends. Now he has become the most closely-connected reporter in Kaiserslautern. His columns and reports on Kaiserslautern's Liberty News were laughed at by local fans as the speakers of the Kaiserslautern Club.

After winning the game in Kaiserslautern, Gran and Nak seemed very excited. They asked three questions in one breath, all about Yang Cheng, the team and the players. Yang Cheng was in a very good mood. In addition, he and Gran and Nak cooperated well, so naturally they said everything, and it may not be enough to say it.

As always, Yang Cheng refused to comment on the player's performance alone!

After following Gran and Nak, the reporters asked a series of questions related to Kaiserslautern one after another. The young and handsome Yang Cheng seemed to have become the protagonist of this press conference.

But at this moment, when one of the reporters threw the problem back on Trapatoni, the head coach, who was late and angry, was so angry that he slapped the table, which scared everyone present so much that they broke out in a cold sweat.

"The reason for our team's defeat? It's very simple, because our players suddenly don't know how to attack. They lack the motivation to attack. I even doubt, is this still a German team? Is this still Bayern Munich?"

"My tactics are conservative? In the last 30 minutes of the second half of the game, I even used three forwards, but you also saw it. Besides Yankel, who else can you see? Oh, Klinsman, he made a long-distance raid from the opponent's young player!"

"My words have been said very clearly and easily understood. I am just complaining. I don't think our players have the fighting spirit and motivation to continue to win. If we continue to play this game, we will never be able to win the league championship this season!"

"But some players are fighting continuously on multiple lines, and their bodies should be overloaded!" A reporter familiar with Bayern also kindly reminded this Italian white-haired man. After all, it is not a good thing to punish the big guys in the team.

But I knew that Trapatoni wouldn't listen. When he heard this, he became more angry and kept slapping the table in front of him. "I know there are players who need to rest. I am their head coach. I know better than anyone else, but is this a reason? There is a two-day interval between the league and the cup, but how are their training performances in these two days?"

"I'm not an idiot, I'm not a blind man. I have eyes, I know how to read, I know how to analyze, I know what happened to them on the training ground and on the football field, I know more about what they are doing. I have to emphasize that in this game, we have some players who are as weak as if a bottle is empty!"

Yang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something very interesting, that was the famous Trapatoni incident in his previous life. At that time, he criticized the players of his team at a press conference and described them as empty bottles.

In Italian, it means not working hard, but in German, it means not being able to do so. This sentence was later praised by the media as a classic adjective and widely promoted. Even in 2002, when the German Muller Beverage Group invited Trapatoni to shoot a group of yogurt advertisements, the last shot was Trapatoni smiling and said to the camera: "After eating the yogurt, it's like the bottle is empty!"

This shows how profound this sentence has in Germany!

Yang Cheng was sitting next to Trapatoni, he was a little unbelievable because he had never expected that things in his previous life would happen early, and it was because of his own appearance that made the Italian coach furious, which really made him both proud and curious.

I wonder if Trapatony's rage words will bring him and Bayern something?

Yang Cheng was too worried. Although Trapatoni's rage caused an uproar in the German media, to some extent, it even covered up the great battle of Kaiserslautern to defeat Bayern by defeating the strong with the weak, it did not cause any negative impact, but instead promoted Bayern's internal unity atmosphere.

According to reporters' rumors, the day after losing to Kaiserslautern away and being eliminated from the German Cup, Bayern executives immediately held a high-level meeting, with four people participating in the team, Trapatoni, Mattus, Klinsmann and Helmer.

At this senior executive meeting, senior executives, including Beckenbauer and others, expressed their trust in Trapatoni and hoped that the dispute between Mattus and Klinsmann could be temporarily shelved and based on the team's ultimate interests, we will ensure that the team can make a difference in the German league this season.

Abnormal, after a crushing defeat by Kaiserslautern, Mattus and Klinsmann did not refute the proposals of the senior executives. Instead, they agreed that they would temporarily reconcile under the interests of the team. Although they could not guarantee their heartfelt conscience, they would work hard for Bayern on the court.

As for Trapatoni, he bravely took on the responsibility for losing. He said that it was his tactical misconduct that led to the team's defeat in Kaiserslautern. He was willing to take on the responsibility, but he also promised that Bayern's goal this season is the Bundesliga championship, and he is very confident about this.

Bayern executives once again expressed their trust in Trapatoni and decided to fully support Trapatoni's coaching team.

In this way, because of a cup loss, Bayern turned crisis into opportunity and achieved temporary unity under adversity, laying a solid foundation for the final victory of the Bundesliga this season.

On the other hand, after defeating Bayern, what was rumored outside was not the uproar of the Red Devils, but the remarks after the game, especially the Italian coach's loss of control, were exaggerated and hyped by the media, and instead left the winner of the game, Kaiser Slautern aside and ignored it.

However, Yang Cheng was happy with this. He praised the performance of the players after the game and encouraged them to continue to work hard.

Taking advantage of the momentum of defeating Bayern at home, Kaiserslautern welcomed Frankfurt at home. This relegated team in the Bundesliga has continued to be sluggish in the Bundesliga this season. However, the away game was slaughtered by Kaiserslautern at home 5:0. Marshall scored twice, and Nedved, Denilson and Desler each scored a goal.

A week later, the team went to challenge Mepen away, which was also the last round of the league before the winter break in the Bundesliga. In order to prepare for the mid-week German Cup quarterfinals against Leverkusen, Kaiserslautern had to play with a half-main lineup. Mepen made every effort to play in a defensive counterattack stance, and took the lead in using Kaiserslautern to make a defense mistake and scored a goal.

Fortunately, in the second half, Denilson, who came on as a substitute, created a penalty for Kaiserslautern, and Barack took the penalty and equalized the score for Kaiserslautern.

After the 17th round, Kaiserslautern continued to be unbeaten with 14 wins and 3 draws, and he was the Bundesliga with a 45-point advantage, and led the second-place Hertha Berlin to 10 points, becoming the biggest favorite team to win the Bundesliga this season.

Two days after defeating Mepen, the team challenged Leverkusen away.

The latter had just experienced a tough battle to tie Bochum away. After returning to home, he was in a positive position after the rotation and was determined to take revenge on the red devil Kaiser Slautern, who was in a position to revenge the last round of last season. Although Dom had a positive strategy, he was not expected that Yang Cheng would be more bold than him. He played offensive football away. After the game, he used DeNilson and Desler's assault ability on the wing to suppress Leverkusen so hard that he could not look up.

45 minutes later, Kaiserslautern temporarily led Leverkusen 2:0 away with a direct free kick from Perron and a long shot from Nedved.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dom Jedi counterattacked. Although Kirsten scored a goal, the referee's offside was the first, and the goal was invalid and invalid. The game ended 0:2, and Kaiserslautern reached the semi-finals.

With this game, Yang Cheng also proved to Calderon and Woller on the rostrum how wrong they chose Dom, and he was getting better in Kaiserslautern.

It was at the end of this game that after Yang Cheng returned to Kaiserslautern, the club showed him a letter from the Football Association, asking him to go to Frankfurt immediately to participate in the hearing held by rushing into the stadium and knocking down the opponent's players in Oldenburg's game.
