In the next two weeks, in the first week, Kaiserslautern spent the first week in hell, and almost all the players were peeled off a layer of skin during the devilish training of Yang Cheng and other coaching teams.

During the physical examination a week later, almost all the players met Yang Cheng's requirements. Even those who increased their weight during the winter break were reduced back to their standard weight during this period, and several other players' physical condition was very satisfactory.

First of all, Fanny, the Dutch center, consciously trains and strengthens his physical fitness even during the winter break. This makes him in good health when he returns to the club after the winter break. After a week of devil training, the Dutch weight reached 81 kilograms.

At 1.88 meters tall and weighing 81 kilograms, Fanny's body is not a pervert, but it is absolutely reasonable, because Schmidt and Tim both feel that with Fanny's technical characteristics, controlling his weight to around 80 kilograms will not affect his physical strength, nor will it slow down his speed, and his movement frequency.

It can be said that after half a year of hard training, Fanny finally trained his body to a satisfactory standard state. Next, it depends on when he gets enlightened.

The second person who met the weight standard was Denilsen, a Brazilian who has always resisted physical training. This time he performed hard and active in the devil's training. Even after every training class, he would take the initiative to go to the equipment room for intensified training, which made him weigh 68 kilograms a week later. Schmidt was satisfied with his physical fitness. Although he was still a little thin, players like him were like this.

But what is strange is that Deisler, who is also a technical player, is required to weigh more than 70 kilograms. The Germans' physical examination reached 73 kilograms, and the progress is obvious. Deisler, who just celebrated his 17th birthday, was also selected into the German youth team with his outstanding performance.

With the help of Yang Cheng and Kaiserslautern, Deisler's family moved to Kaiserslautern. Although his parents still showed no sign of reconciliation, at least they no longer quarreled all day long. Deisler's training enthusiasm and condition have improved a lot, and his performance has also become better and better.

After a week of devil training, Yang Cheng began the team's running-in training.

Before this, Yang Cheng specially used the super coach assistance system again.

After excellent performance in the first half, Yang Cheng's achievements have accumulated a lot again. This time he directly purchased services to improve the team's sense of defensive position, because he clearly saw that in the second half of the game, whether it is the Winners' Cup or the German Cup, Kaiserslautern's opponents must steadily overwhelm his side in terms of strength.

In this kind of elimination game, defense is often the key to determining the outcome of the game. Kaiserslautern's offense is fine. The key is defense when facing strong enemies, so he spent most of his achievements and purchased services to improve the team's defensive ability in the future.

For the remaining achievement points, Yang Cheng used services to improve the growth rate of players to further strengthen the growth of young players in the team.

After completing all this, Yang Cheng began to devote himself to the team's training and preparations.

After a week of preparation, Kaiserslautern welcomed the German Cup semi-final opponent, Hamburg, at home.

The strength of this Bundesliga team cannot be underestimated, especially the team's right-hand forward Salihamidic. This wing assaulter is impeccable in terms of speed and technology. He is the core of Hamburg's offensive. Two years later, he transferred to Bayern freely and won the title of Angel Wings.

When Yang Cheng arranged the tactics, he still maintained his principles, that is, he would not disrupt his tactical arrangements against a certain player on the opponent, because he always believed that as long as the player paid attention to the positional defense during defense, he would definitely freeze the opponent.

On the contrary, if a player is specially arranged to guard Salihamidic, it may disrupt the team's defensive arrangement. After all, Kaiserslautern has always paid attention to the integrity of offense and defense, and there is no need to disrupt his tactics because of one person.

Yang Cheng implemented this idea into the tactics. Although it also strengthened the players' attention to Salihamidic, he did not send a special person to guard him.

Kaiserslautern's joint defense system has frozen Dortmund's Ricken and Andy and Muller, and Bayern's Sauer and Basler. Now, as the players understand this defensive method, their defensive strength has also been improved, and it is no longer difficult to freeze Salihamidic.

Bremer, Nedved, and Denilson, who actively participated in the counter-attack, Salihamidic was almost completely isolated on the right, and Gattuso, a messenger, made trouble and destroyed in the midfield. Hamburg was divided and isolated by Kaiserslautern's tactics from the beginning of the game.

In the end, Kaiserslautern eliminated Hamburg 1:0 with Denilson's goal, but the whole game was steadily controlled by Kaiserslautern's rhythm and plan. Hamburg, who played away, had no hope of winning at all.

With this victory, Kaiserslautern successfully reached the final.

After the game, Yang Cheng immediately received news from Cottbus.

"Cotbus, who played at home, unexpectedly defeated Karlsruhe 3-0?"

When everyone heard this news, their first reaction was shocked, because Karlsruhe was a Bundesliga powerhouse, while Cottbus was the third-level German team. There was a huge gap in strength between the two teams, but Karlsruhe suffered a heavy blow.

"I heard that for this game, Cottbus recruited 150 fans in advance to voluntarily sweep and shovel their stadium. The Football Association's stadium committee also tested them and believed that the game continued only when the standards met. It is conceivable that the team is in bad condition. Karlsruhe is obviously too careless about this team."

Yang Cheng is no stranger to Cottbus, because the city is near Chemnitz, and later, Chinese player Shao Jiayi also played here, so he had some impression of this team, but he never expected that this team would have the potential to be a dark horse, and it was a dark horse that was even darker than Kaiserslautern.

However, this reminded him of the King's Cup match in which Real Madrid lost 0:4 away to Alcocan in his previous life. The cup matches of every country are the same, and there are precedents of overnight fame after an upset. For example, in the German Cup final in the 1992/93 season, Leverkusen's opponent was Hertha Berlin, but this time, the overnight fame became Cottbus.

"It seems that this team is not a fuel-efficient light, so it's better to be careful!" Yang Cheng frowned and reminded.

Paul, Bayer and the rest of the coaching staff looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will start collecting information about this team immediately. They are preparing to enter the Bundesliga this season and are located near Dresden. This matter will be left to me!"

"Please, Paul!"

Paul, Bayer glared at Yang Cheng, as if he was blaming him for being so polite.

After explaining the German Cup, Yang Cheng had a headache and it was the German Second Division turn.

According to the previous penalty decision issued by the German Football Association to Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng must be suspended in the 18th, 19th and 20th league rounds, and he will be banned from appearing in the coach's seat, but he can sit in the stands.

Unfortunately, in these 3 games, Kaiserslautern had two away games, so it would be troublesome.

"If it's a home game, the club can free up the seat behind the coach's seat. I can command it nearby, but it won't work away games." Yang Cheng sighed in distress.
