102 The bench determines everything

The Fritz Walter Stadium was crowded with people, and the enthusiasm of the Red Devils fans did not diminish because the score on the field was still 0:0. They were even becoming more fanatical and more devoted because of this score.

"Fuck them to death! Long live Kaiserslautern!"

Tony Vicino is now a standard Kaiserslautern. He will paint his face with oil on almost every game, and then come to the stands to cheer for the team.

His ferocious roaring expression has become a unique landscape in the Kaiserslautern stands, and his status in the minds of fans has also risen.

The fans in the stands are crazy and irrational. They will cheer for their players who have a beautiful dribbling breakthrough, and will also boo overwhelm because of their foul. Especially when the referee calls for a penalty that is unfavorable to their side, they will criticize them without hesitation, and even roar in anger.

Yang Cheng likes to stand in front of the coaching seat, which makes him feel like there is an endless stream of driving force behind him, giving him support and encouragement, and giving him strength anytime, anywhere.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, a huge booing sound poured down from the stands. The momentum was to completely submerge all the enemies in the entire Fritz Walter Stadium and bury them.

Yang Cheng came to the sidelines and hugged the players who came down the stadium one by one, sending them into the player channel.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Kaiserslautern had a clear advantage. The key is that Schalke 04's defense was done well, especially Link. The player's performance was simply world-class. No wonder he was able to become Bayern's decisive needle soon.

Just looking at the performance of this game, let alone Yang Cheng was also moved by him!

When all the players walked back to the locker room, Yang Cheng greeted his assistants and followed him in.

The locker room looked very lively, and the players were discussing the gains and losses of the first half, and some complained and some fought. These were normal. Yang Cheng was also willing to see the players express their opinions instead of keeping them in his heart.

In his opinion, as long as the team's internal atmosphere is not destroyed, and appropriate complaints and arguments are definitely conducive to the team's unity and the players are familiar with each other. The key is how the head coach grasps the degree.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room was almost done, Yang Cheng walked to the middle and clapped his hands hard, attracting everyone's attention, and then he smiled relaxedly.

"I just want to say that you did a good job. We controlled the situation well throughout the first half. Deco was very capable of controlling the ball and handling the ball in the midfield. I was very satisfied, but we didn't do well enough to put our pressure on it. Please pay attention!"

After hearing this, Deco frowned, "But, the team's defensive counterattack is very sharp!"

Yang Cheng smiled with relief, "Well said, Deke, this proves that you have carefully studied this team. I am very happy, but you must remember that the so-called defensive counterattack is the key to defense, and the rest is counterattack."

Slowly paced back and forth in the locker room, Yang Cheng's confident smile could easily infect everyone in the locker room, making all of them listen to Yang Cheng's words.

"What does this sentence mean? It's very simple. Schalke 04 will focus on defensive first. Only when they feel that their defense is safe will they consider counterattacking. But if we can put huge pressure on their defense while attacking, forcing them to do their best to defend and have no time to consider counterattacking, what will happen?"

Yang Cheng spread his hands and looked at his players with an expression you should all understand.

"They will be powerless to fight back!" Deco looked around and found that no teammates answered, so he spoke.

"Well said!" Yang Cheng praised again.

Deco couldn't help laughing after receiving praise from the head coach twice in a row.

After coming to Kaiserslautern, he successfully obtained a professional contract, received Yang Cheng's attention, and made great progress. Although he was still a substitute under Perron, Deco knew in his heart that Perron was better than him and he still had a lot to learn, so he did not feel pessimistic about the substitute at all.

Smart players should be like Deko, who should try to learn from others' strengths, make up for their own weaknesses, and strive to shine their own light and attract other people's attention every time they show themselves.

"So, what you have to do in the second half is to do it well in the first half!" Yang Cheng could pause, then guess word by word, and say clearly, "I want you to put Shakel 04 in the half and completely capture him!"

“Can it be done?”

"Yes!" the players stood up and shouted in unison.

Yang Cheng laughed in admiration.

After the second half reopened, Kaiserslautern's morale seemed to be stronger than the first half.

The entire Kaiserslautern's midfield was well-functioning. Deco received instructions from Yang Cheng in the midfield. After the start of the second half, he set his range of activities forward, prompting Barack, Fanny and others to follow the front pressure. Fanny frequently entered and exited Schalke 04's penalty area.

Behind Deco, Flins served as the team's midfield defense responsibility, but his position was slightly different from Gattuso, and he was more protective around Deco.

This German midfielder was transformed into a defender by Yang Cheng this season, but he was from a wing, with good technical skills and good speed, but he was not strong enough. Although he had outstanding running ability and hard performance, he was still inferior to Gattuso in many aspects.

Fortunately, his diligence can make up for the gap in strength, and his offensive awareness can help Deke better, so Yang Cheng put his position closer to Deke, hoping that the two of them can join forces to sort out the midfield.

As for the midfielder position, there is a Lucio with strong mobility. The Brazilian has excellent ball-passing ability and dribbling forward ability, which can bring changes to the game at any time. His interception and defense are excellent. Although he occasionally makes some mistakes, there is a relatively stable Luis Hut behind him. In addition, Schalke 04's counterattack is not strong, so Yang Cheng is not worried at all.

The two full-backs took turns to step forward frequently, and with assaulters like Salihamidic and Deisler on the side, Kaiser Slautern played very active on the side. After pressing the side, the whole side and middle cooperation was very good, frequently creating threats.

As Yang Cheng expected, when Kaiserslautern's offensive became fierce, Schalke 04 immediately tightened the camp to defend, and the counterattack became optional, with low investment and normal effect.

On the contrary, Kaiserslautern actively attacked and controlled the situation on the field, which quickly changed the situation on the field.

"Lucio successfully intercepted the ball... The Brazilian suddenly dribbled the ball and penetrated the midfield... Passing the ball to the right, Desler got the ball, and he got rid of the passerby beautifully. Desler's skills were really excellent. After passing by, he quickly dribbled the ball along the right... "

"Kaisslautern made a beautiful quick counterattack, and Desler made a cross from the right side of the penalty area... This was a beautiful low ball, and the speed was very fast. The ball was quickly passed to the goal. Schalke 04's defense line was a bit messy. Link wanted to clear the ball with his big foot, but Van Nie... Fanny shot in front of the goal before Link, and the ball entered!"

"In the 63rd minute, Kaiserslautern finally broke the deadlock on the court after a long attack. Dutchman Van Nicht scored the first goal, which was a calm goal in front of the goal!"

"Link hammered the post in annoyance. He had indeed ignored Van Nie, who was one position behind him. He didn't expect that the Dutchman's shooting was so sensitive that he actually scored before him. This was a beautiful penalty area to grab the spot!"

The entire Fritz Walter Stadium suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy, especially when Van Nie, who was celebrating the goal, came to the bottom of the stands, the fans in the stands were not hesitant to give warm applause, because the Dutchman's blowout goal status this season almost made people forget the team's top scorer Olaf Marshall last season.

With his continuous goals and nearly hot state, Fanny's call for the Dutch national team has become increasingly popular. Everyone hopes that Hiddink can bring the Dutch forward to the national team and participate in the 1998 World Cup in France.

"Continue to press, don't relax, guys!" Yang Cheng kept doing the move to continue to maintain pressure, signaling the players to make a concerted effort, especially when Schalke was scored by a goal in 04 and the team was disrupted, and he tried to score more goals.

Many times, the panic after losing the ball often directly leads to the goal being lost again!

Schalke 04 undoubtedly interprets this very well.

The goal just now came from Desler's cross on the right, but the German young player who was pressed by Schneider on the bench this season and could not stand firm is obviously full of anger. After getting the starting opportunity in this game, his performance was very active. In the second half, the team was pressing forward and after the team was pressed forward, his performance was even more like a fish in water.

Just 3 minutes after the last goal, Desler shook his way through another beautiful fake move on the right, and passed a sharp ball behind Schalke 04, passing the ball behind two central defenders.

Fanny was very confident in the technical characteristics of this teammate. When he saw Desler passing the ball, he immediately stepped forward. Although Schalke 04 central defender next to him reacted and turned around and robbed, he was one step slower after all.

The next thing turned into Fanny's performance. I saw him take the ball and drive straight in. At this time, Fanny was not slow. Although Link was chasing him back, Fanny accelerated and waded through Link who fell to the ground and slipped. After entering the penalty area, he even made a fake move and deceived Lehman who was attacking.

The latter leaned over to hold the ball, but watched Fanny use his instep to pull the ball out of the range controlled by his palm. The Dutchman's technique is very simple, but very practical, allowing Lehman to turn around and watch Fanny calmly push the ball into the goal.

2:0!

After scoring two goals in a row, Fanny was so excited that he jumped high at the corner flag to celebrate with the fans in the stands.

The Dutchman is in such a state of almost unreasonable condition, especially this season. After Marshall left, after the training of last season, with the help of Yang Cheng's guidance and the growth and growth rate of the super coach assist system, he finally got fully enlightened.

"You're right, Yang Cheng, he's really a goal-scoring machine!"

Seeing Fanny celebrating crazy at the corner flag, Paul Bayer couldn't help but be convinced by Yang Cheng.

I believe that countless media watching the game will definitely praise Yang Cheng's original vision, because no one will believe that this player who has never played a forward will be regarded as a world-class forward by Yang Cheng.

But now, with Fanny's consecutive goals this season, ranking first in the scorer list, which is enough to prove how accurate and incredible Yang Cheng's original vision was.

"This kid is in good condition recently, but he still needs to endure it!" Yang Cheng smiled slightly.

Paul Bayer was a little surprised, "You want to replace him?"

Yang Cheng nodded immediately. Although Fanny's performance was good and his desire to score goals in the game was also very strong, Kaiserslautern was already sure to win. With his two goals, Schalke 04's morale was irreversible. There was naturally no risk when he replaced him at this time.

Besides, substitution him will make him feel regretful and unsatisfied. His desire to score in the next goal will be stronger, and his goal status will be extended as much as possible.

On the other hand, if Fanny is allowed to score, he may be able to score three or even four in this game, but once he is satisfied and satisfied, his next state will definitely be relaxed and slackened.

Therefore, after the team scored two goals, Yang Cheng replaced Klose with the reluctant Fanny in the 72nd minute.

The Dutch obviously felt unsatisfied. He has been in great shape recently and he almost did whatever he wanted, so he wanted to stay on the court and score more penalty goals during this period.

Yang Cheng also noticed this and called him to his side.

"Do you feel wronged if I replace you?" Yang Cheng asked with a cold face.

When Fanny saw the boss's sarcastic look, he immediately didn't dare to say anything, but just whispered, "No, boss, I won't violate your requirements and orders. You know, but I just think I'm in good shape recently and want to score more penalty kicks."

But after hearing this, Yang Cheng shook his head, "If you really think so, then I can only say that I am very disappointed with you, Luther, because what I want is not just a explosive forward who can score three or four goals in a game, but a continuous forward who can score a stable goal!"

Yang Cheng's words stunned Fanny. He really didn't understand the difference between the two.

"For example, in three games, player A scored 3 goals in the first and third games, and scored a hat-trick, but did not score in the second game, and missed opportunities repeatedly, and the team eventually lost. However, player B scored 1 goal in each round in these three rounds, leading the team to three consecutive victories. Which one do you think is a and b contributed more to the team?"

Fanny immediately fell into thinking. At first glance, A scored more goals, scored 6 in 3 rounds, with a good goal rate, but the team he played for only 6 points. However, although player B scored only 3 goals, he had a draw, one goal per round, and helped the team win a complete victory, and scored 9 points.

Suddenly, Fanny understood what Yang Cheng meant and also understood the intention of the head coach to replace him.

Seeing Fanny's sudden enlightenment expression, Yang Cheng secretly praised in his heart, "Luther, you must understand that the forward is also a member of the team. The responsibility of the forward is not just a goal. In my tactics, the responsibility of the forward is even more difficult."

"There are countless forwards who can score goals, but they cannot score goals, but they can still conquer fans and lead the team to victory. However, Luther, you must understand that the forward is also a human being, and his condition will fluctuate, and there will be times when he does not score goals. Therefore, the key to evaluating a top forward is not when he scores goals, but when he does not score goals!"

Yang Cheng's earnest words made Fanny suddenly realize it. The depression and grievances he had when he was replaced by Yang Cheng were also wiped out. Because he understood that Yang Cheng was in love with him, he ended up.

"I understand, boss!" Fanny nodded heavily.

Yang Cheng smiled and patted the young Dutch striker. He knew that Fanny, who understood this truth, would slowly step into the ranks of top strikers.

Klose performed very hard and diligently after playing, but he was young and had great potential, but he still had a certain gap compared to Fanny in all aspects. However, his heading ability is as outstanding as ever. In addition, he has grown up in the German football atmosphere since he was a child and has a teamwork spirit.

In the 81st minute, Deko's long pass was Deko, Kloze headed the ball, and Salihamidic tore open Schalke 04's defense line with lightning speed, directly entered the penalty area, and scored before Lehmann, breaking Schalke 04's goal for the third time.

This defensive force team, who only lost 1 goal in the first three rounds, was hit by Kaiserslautern in a row, especially when it came out with a number of substitutes, which made the outside world begin to seriously examine this Bundesliga Red Devils, who regard themselves as offensive football for the first time.

However, this round of the Bundesliga is a bit surprising. I originally thought that after the national team competition week, the strong teams would be affected because of the many national players, but I didn't expect that the strong teams in this round won one after another.

Dortmund beat Bochum 5:2 at home, Stuttgart beat Duisburg 3:0 away, Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Cologne 4:1 at home, Leverkusen defeated Karlsruhe 6:1 at home, and Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 2:0 away.

In this way, almost all the strong teams won, while all the weak teams suffered Waterloo, which also made many professional media who thought that strong teams that were deeply affected by the national team match day would face challenges from other teams, all of them were shattered.

But only Yang Cheng knew in his heart that the national team match day did have a great impact on strong teams. Just like Kaiserslautern, the main lineup cannot be raised, but fortunately Kaiserslautern is thick enough, and players such as Deko, Salihamidic have also performed well.

Therefore, strong teams can resolve the personnel crisis brought about by the national team's game week with their lineup. However, for teams like Hamburg and Cologne, the absence of one or two international players is enough to be fatal and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
