36 Isola Bella's Table 1 (Part 1)
36 Isolabella's Table 1 (Part 1)
In the Bundesliga last season, Kaiserslautern had one of the best defense lines in the Bundesliga. They conceded only 35 goals, ranking second to last in the Bundesliga, which was even better than Leverkusen, but only 31 goals, which was the worst in the Bundesliga, which made Kaiserslautern's draws reach 18 games, making it the team with the most draws in the Bundesliga.
It can be said that a large part of the reason for Kaiserslautern's relegation is because of their offense, and the biggest weakness lies in the midfield. This can be seen from the strength of the midfield players. Greener and Wagner have only 135 and 138 respectively, and these two players were the main players of Kaiserslautern last season.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how powerful Kaiserslautern is in the midfield!
Therefore, as soon as Yang Cheng took office, the focus was on the midfield, because with the strength of Olaf, Marshall, Pavel, and Kuka, as long as the midfield can create opportunities, the forward can score goals.
If you want to create opportunities, in addition to being a core organization, you must also have an excellent wing assaulter. The combination of side and middle is the king. However, now neither Grener nor Wagner have the strength to attack the side and side. Fritz is one, but he can only play on the right, and his assault ability is not outstanding in Yang Cheng's opinion.
In Yang Cheng's mind, Fritz's most suitable position is the right back, which can better play his offensive and defensive characteristics. However, now that Yang Cheng wants to play three defenders, he can only mention him in the midfield. However, this versatile player also performs well in the midfield. Moreover, with Fritz, Yang Cheng can occasionally change to the 4-back.
Of course, it is not that there is no good thing about Kaiserslautern, that is the defense line!
This defense line that even performs very well in the Bundesliga includes both former world-class superstars like Bremer, as well as defensive players like Kosch, Rutz, and Kadletz. The defending players of Kaiserslautern are not very famous except Bremer, but they are more practical.
According to Yang Cheng's plan, this season, Kyle will insist on playing in Kaiserslautern's three-back system. Kyle, who follows him, is the best candidate for the center-center-back, and Bremer is also one, but he is older and 36 years old, so it is impossible to rely on him throughout the season.
Kosch, Rutz, Kadletz, Louis, and Hut are all suitable candidates for these three positions, but these are all age problems, so Yang Cheng's idea is to introduce another young potential player to craft it.
In terms of goalkeepers, the team's top goalkeeper Reinke is currently excellent and has solid in-goal skills. Yang Cheng remembers that in the 20304 season, in Werder Bremen's championship lineup, Reinke is the main goalkeeper and has made an indelible contribution. Now he is exactly 27 years old, which is the golden age of the goalkeeper.
On the contrary, the substitute goalkeeper is only 106, and Yang Cheng is not very relieved about him. After all, the team is going to participate in the European Winners Cup this season, and it is necessary to have a trustworthy substitute goalkeeper.
After filtering his analysis in his mind, Yang Cheng found that his top priority was to introduce a core organization, which was the top priority. Then there were one or two wing assaulters, a substitute forward, a central defender, and a substitute goalkeeper.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel a headache.
So far this season, he has brought in Barack, Kyle, Fritz, Louis, Hutt, Nedved and Gattuso, who have spent a total of $2.75 million on him.
If another wing assaulter, a forward, a central defender and a substitute goalkeeper were introduced, Yang Cheng would bring a total of 10 players, which would be a big purge of Kaiserslautern.
Although it suits Frederick's expectations, Yang Cheng had to start worrying about the team's running-in.
"It seems that I can only do more work before the season!" Yang Cheng thought to himself.
However, since he arrived at the team, Yang Cheng immediately met with Bremer through Frederick. He hoped to have a good talk with the team captain and listen carefully to the captain's thoughts.
Nowadays, players are not like those who start vacationing more than ten years later. Nowadays, players stay at home for many vacation time. Bremer is one of them. He lives near the club and still maintains training during vacation.
This is why he is still active on the court when he is 36 years old.
When he heard that Yang Cheng had made an appointment with him, he immediately agreed to come and meet him.
The meeting location is very particular. After Yang Cheng asked Frederick, he agreed to an Italian restaurant called Isorabella on the street of Otbach next to Walter Stadium. Frederick said that this is the place where Kaiserslautern players gather the most, and the apartment arranged by the club for Yang Cheng is nearby.
This is a bungalow restaurant, and the decoration outside is very simple. Apart from the wooden sign hanging on the eaves, there is only black and white zebra paint paint. This is definitely not Kaiserslautern's eyes, it is a bit dazzling.
When I opened the door, a ringtone rang inside immediately.
"Welcome!" A thick male voice rang in his ears.
Yang Cheng was almost shocked. After entering, he found out that they had arranged the counter on the side of the door. As soon as they came in, there were bottles of wine behind the counter, which looked very expensive.
A middle-aged man with silver hair but deliberately combed it into a side-parted head that had been popular for many years stood behind the counter. When Yang Cheng came in, he began to look at him carefully. Perhaps because his black hair and yellow skin were too conspicuous, the middle-aged man recognized him all at once.
"Are you the new head coach of the team?" The middle-aged man shook his hands and parted his hair.
Yang Cheng nodded, "You are..."
"Tony, Vicino, everyone here is called Tony, or Italian!"
Yang Cheng laughed, "Are you Italian?"
"Yes, that's right, if you want to change the bag, I'm the only one in Kaiserslautern!" He seemed a little proud.
Yang Cheng thought to himself, no wonder he opened an Italian restaurant.
"Do you want a special seat or whatever?" Tony, Vicino asked with a smile.
"Is there any difference?" Yang Cheng stood in front of the counter and asked interestingly.
Tony walked out of the counter and greeted Yang Cheng, and introduced as he walked: "Special seats are special seats. Many Kaiserslautern players have exclusive seats here. For example, this position is Bremer, which is usually called No. 2, and this position is Rutz's seat. We call it No. 3..."
After this series of introductions, Yang Cheng couldn't help but find that the arrangement of these numbers seemed interesting, as if the players' seats were determined based on their status in the club.
"What about No. 1?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
