43 Yang Cheng’s Choice (Part 1)

It was a bit surprising. The training in the next few days went by surprisingly smoothly. It would be fine if Bremer obeyed Yang Cheng's training arrangements. Even Rutz, Kosch and others changed their attitude towards Yang Cheng and even obeyed the orders one by one.

Watching the players performing training tasks meticulously on the court, every time they see Yang Cheng, although they still can't laugh, at least they don't have the coldness and repulsion they used to keep others from thousands of miles away.

"Did you give them some medicine? Otherwise, how could their attitude towards you change so quickly?" Paul Baier asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng shrugged, "How can I know?"

He had no idea that the day before signing in Glard and Elman, the legendary goalkeeper of Kaiserslautern had communicated with Bremer and others, and told him about Yang Cheng's invitation to join the coaching staff.

After careful analysis, a group of people came to a conclusion that Yang Cheng could not stand the board's approach to the former heroes, so he used a goalkeeper coach contract to retain Elman. Of course, there is probably a little bit of a pleasing local players here.

After reaching this conclusion, Bremer once again warned his teammates that since the head coach had made concessions, the players should also give an attitude. Even Rutz, who was most disgusted with Yang Cheng on weekdays, promised that he would not fight against Yang Cheng again under the persuasion of Elman.

Yang Cheng didn't know all this. He just felt that the change in the players' attitude was a good thing. Since it was a good thing, why the change seemed less important!

After 10 days in a row, the team's pre-season preparations were in full swing. Under Yang Cheng's nearly hellish three-day training, they were all in pain and indignant. Many people even swear in their hearts that if Yang Cheng's training is not effective, they must be good-looking.

During these 10 days, in addition to physical reserves, Yang Cheng also constantly instilled his tactical arrangements and instructions into the players. However, unlike other coaches who like to instill tactics in the tactical conference room, the place where Yang Cheng instilled tactics is always on the court and is always inseparable from football.

Since the club opens a training class every day to meet the fans' requirements, Yang Cheng chooses the morning physical reserve training. Although there is something new, it is not special. Yang Cheng is not afraid of leaking it out.

However, the second and third training classes are closed to the outside world, especially the third training class. Yang Cheng almost relies on the third training class to convey his tactical requirements and instructions to the players and guide players in every position to perform their duties.

Like Chemnitz, Yang Cheng also likes to divide the stadium into different areas when practicing tactics, then draw red and green lines to guide the players to run and pass the ball. Then he also blew the whistle from time to time, stopped training, and corrected the mistakes made by the players in training.

Before and after each training game, Yang Cheng would summon players to arrange the training tactics, correct the players' mistakes in training, and summarize the training every day.

Time flies very quickly, and 10 days pass in a blink of an eye.

Yang Cheng and others also fully entered the role in the past ten days. Everyone began to become familiar with their responsibilities and tasks. The coaching team of the first team began to operate in an orderly manner. Even Yang Cheng began to ask Murensteen to take the initiative to understand Kaiserslautern's youth training system.

On the 11th day when Yang Cheng coached Kaiserslautern, the team ushered in a warm-up match. They went to Walms in the northeast of Kaiserslautern to play a warm-up match. The opponent was an old professional team, but they were not strong and had been in regional leagues all year round.

This is the first game that Yang Cheng led the team after taking office. But I don’t know if it was because he had just experienced devil training, the players’ bodies seemed very tired and could not take steps on the court. In addition, they were not familiar with the new tactics and did not cooperate tacitly enough, so the players performed poorly on the court.

Although he finally scored a free kick from Bremer and defeated Walms 1-0, Kaiserslautern's performance in this game was still questioned.

Big media like football players, photo newspapers and other major media simply report the results of the game, but there are still many local and nearby media attacking the team that Yang Cheng coaches because they know that local fans are very dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's leadership.

"What fans want to see is Rehagel, a top coach, not a young boy who is a fledgling boy!"

However, in the wave of general doubts and attacks, the local Liberty Newspaper in Kaiserslautern published a football review column. This column actually stands opposite to the current trend and actually publicly supports Yang Cheng, believing that the strength of this Chinese head coach is unquestionable and should continue to be given trust and support.

"Do you remember when he was in charge of Chemnits? At that time, Chemnits failed to win 21 league games, and only scored 4 points throughout the season. His morale fell to the bottom. The whole world believed that they had no hope of relegation, but Yang Cheng used his miraculous 13 consecutive victories to shatter the whole world's glasses."

"He is a magical head coach. Maybe he is young, maybe he lacks experience, but many times, it is not necessary to have experience on the football field to do a good job as a head coach. Sometimes, there are some people who are born with the ability to lead the team to win games. We call this kind of person a genius!"

"I firmly believe that Yang Cheng is a genius!"

"No, right? I'm so praising me?" Yang Cheng laughed as he looked at the newspaper.

"I think he is probably your fan!" Paul, who was beside him, cheered.

Yang Cheng shook his head and laughed. When he saw the signature under the column, he was a little surprised, "It turns out he is an old friend, Gran, Nak, when did he go to work in the Liberty Press in Kaiserslautern?"

The figure of this German young man immediately appeared in his heart, because he chose him on the interview list, but he gave him back with this support. It seems that this world is really rewarded with goodness!

"Oh, it's Gran, Nak, I guess he is the only reporter in the world who is willing to speak for you now!"

Paul's words are correct. After Yang Cheng coached Kaiserslautern, although he was no longer as silent as in Chemnitz, his relationship with the media was not good. The media hoped to enter the training ground for interviews and reports several times, but they were rejected by Yang Cheng.

If Yang Cheng's team performed well, that would be better, but now...

This is how the media is. If one game wins, they can praise you to heaven, but if the next game loses or performs badly, they will trample you into hell.

For some reason, Yang Cheng suddenly remembered Heidi and Krum's words.

"In the fashion art world, maybe you can lead the trend today, but tomorrow, you will be outdated!"
