Chapter 80: Sudden Change [Fourth Update, Kneeling for Monthly Tickets]

  On May 24, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game at Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern, the substitute players of Kaiserslautern rushed onto the field, and the fans on the stands stood up one after another, applauding wildly.

  The scoreboard showed a shocking 7:01. Yang Cheng's home team welcomed his old club Chemnitz, but the ruthless and cold-blooded Chinese head coach seemed to have no intention of showing mercy, even though his team had already secured the league title in advance and had an incredibly brilliant season. He still used a crushing victory to thoroughly trample Chemnitz into the abyss of relegation.

  Although this game did not change anything, although Chemnitz had seen the hope of relegation in this season, but after losing Yang Chen, the team's stars fell apart one after another, and this East German team had to accept the cruel reality of relegation.

  Just three days ago, Chemnitz fans were still rejoicing over Yang Chen's 4-0 away win against Zwickau, and some even gloated that Yang Chen was taking revenge for Chemnitz.

  But just three days later, their team suffered the biggest collapse of the season.

  The 7-0 score was enough for Chemnitz to realize the gap between themselves and Kaiserslautern, no reason, no excuse, they were even suffocated by Kaiserslautern throughout the game.

  Vanni staged a hat-trick again, which also directly created another interesting story that was enthusiastically discussed by the media. That is, after winning the UEFA Cup, Kaiserslautern returned to the 2nd Bundesliga and had players scoring hat-tricks in three consecutive league matches. The match against Zwickau was Marshall.

  This is not just an explosion of the player's state, but also a red heat of Kaiserslautern's overall state. Nobody can ignore it. After Berlin Hertha, Wolfsburg and Mainz almost fell apart at the door, Kaiserslautern's current state is so shocking that it makes people marvel.

  The game is over, as a loser, Chemnitz's players one by one hung their heads in shame, feeling too ashamed to show their faces.

  On the contrary, Yang Cheng showed his demeanor throughout the game. When Kaizer scored a goal, he did not participate in any celebrations and stood expressionless on the sidelines, making it impossible to tell what was going through his mind.

  But after the game, he didn't go to celebrate with his teammates first, but instead walked towards Chemnitz's players, where there were still a few former players under him. He hugged them one by one and cheered them on.

  Yang's move indeed left the Kaiserlautern fans on the stands in awe, but soon they erupted into a thunderous applause, applauding their head coach for his righteous act of distinguishing between public and private matters.

  And Thomas and other players also expressed their appreciation and congratulations to Yang Chen, after leaving Chemnitz, he soared to fame, now he has become a young and famous general in German football, and even has some reputation in European football.

  As long as he continues to maintain his current momentum, as long as Kaiserslautern does not perform too badly in the Bundesliga, Yang Chen will inevitably further defend his reputation. With time, he may even be able to join the ranks of European-level coaches.

  As for Chemnitz, everyone knows that this financially troubled team wants to return to the 2nd Bundesliga again, but it's already very difficult, and even players like Thomas are already brewing to leave the team.

  After the match, the long-awaited 2nd Bundesliga trophy was finally brought to the Fritz-Walter-Stadion by the DFB. After the game, a brief awards ceremony was held, where Kaiserslautern's captain Bremer accepted the wheel-shaped trophy from the hands of the DFB president.

  In the moment when the trophy was in hand, more than 30,000 fans at Fritz-Walter-Stadion suddenly turned green.

  As the trophy had already been prepared in advance, the team also specially arranged a convertible bus outside the stadium. After this game was over, the team boarded the bus again and started their championship parade under the escort of countless Kaiserslautern fans and the enthusiastic welcome of Kaiserslautern citizens.

  A week later, on June 1st, Kaiserslautern traveled away from home to challenge Frankfurt.

  Kaiserslautern, who gave their all, won 3-0 away at Ranshofen thanks to goals from D?hli, Marshall and Bell.

  On June 8th, Kaiserslautern welcomed M?nchengladbach back at their home stadium.

  Although this game cannot change the trend of the league, Kaiserslautern still sent their main players to play. Yang Cheng hoped to use this game as a warm-up for the German Cup final in a week's time, so they played with great enthusiasm from the start. Marshall scored two goals in the first half and then scored a hat-trick in the second half. Substitutes Klose, Ballack, Nedved and Lucio also scored one goal each, leading to a 7-1 home victory over Meppen.

  At the end of this season's 2. Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern can be said to have a clear advantage, especially in the second half of the league, and this team has shown a higher level of technical and tactical play than other 2. Bundesliga teams.

  As for this season's 2. Bundesliga awards, Kaiserslautern is the absolute big winner.

  According to the feedback, apart from Marshall who scored 31 goals and is the deserved best shooter in Bundesliga II, the best player is undoubtedly Bellomo. This Argentine star has performed steadily in Bundesliga II this season and is the core of Kaiserslautern's midfield. Although he only scored 5 goals, he contributed 16 assists, but this is not his greatest contribution.

  Bailon's contribution to the current Kaizer Chiefs is his deployment and command, especially his forward and backward connection in the middle of the midfield, which is the key to the smooth operation of the current Kaizer Chiefs midfielder.

  In addition, several players from the team were also named to the Best XI, including forwards Marshall and Denílson, midfielders Ballack, Nedvěd, Berón and Gattuso, with four of the Best XI's midfield spots being completely occupied by Kaiserslautern.

  The back line is indeed a bit leaky, although Kaiserslautern's defense is the first in the 2nd Bundesliga this season. In the best lineup, Slawutz is absolutely the biggest winner. According to the feedback from the fans, apart from scoring 31 goals, Chisaoer is the best shooter in the 2nd Bundesliga, and the best passer is undoubtedly Bellomo. This Argentine star has been the core of Kaiserslautern's midfield this season, with only 5 goals but 16 assists. However, his biggest contribution is not just about scoring or assisting - Bellomo's greatest contribution to Kaiserslautern lies in his coordination and command, especially in the middle of the field, where he excels at linking up with his teammates and creating space. This is the key to Kaiserslautern's well-organized midfield this season.

  In addition, several players from the team were also selected for the best lineup, including forwards Marshall and Denilson, midfielders Baranello, Bellon and Gattuso. The four defenders in the best lineup were completely occupied by Kaiserslautern. However, there was a mistake in the defense line, although Kaiserslautern's defense was the first in the 2nd Bundesliga this season, but the reason for defeating the opponent was not included in the best lineup.

  But compared with their defense, Cottbus's offense seems a bit weak.

  Paul Bayler's analysis is close to Yang Chen's analysis from the super coaching system and video, Yang Chen decided to play an attacking football in the German Cup final, using the team's offense to break down Cottbus' defense.

  For this reason, he began targeted attack training over the next few days.

  But at the same time, a strange hidden task appeared in the Super Coach Assistant System.

  Hidden Task: Complete the annual Grand Slam, task reward...... When Yang Cheng closed his eyes and focused his attention on this task, he couldn't get any information related to this hidden task or any explanation about the task reward. Everything was like a riddle.

  So-called hidden tasks are not difficult to understand, it's just that you triggered certain links and triggered this task.

  So far, Yang Cheng has not fully grasped the capabilities and functions of this super coach-assisted system. Now, a hidden task suddenly pops up, which really makes him feel at a loss.

  Focused on the completion of hidden tasks, a small box immediately expanded, displaying a European Champion Clubs' Cup winner's trophy, a 2. Bundesliga champion trophy, both of which were shining brightly, followed by a third trophy that was the DFB-Pokal winner's trophy, a fourth that was the UEFA Super Cup trophy, and a fifth that was the DFL-Supercup trophy, but all were dull and unlit.

  This is already a hint that can't be more obvious, only if Yang Cheng wins the German Cup, German Super Cup and European Super Cup trophies, it will naturally complete the task, and then he can get this so-called passive skill of pre-warning.

  "It seems that in order to trigger and complete the hidden task, one must meet stringent conditions!" Yang Cheng muttered to himself.

  This season's Super Cup won by Kaiserslautern is apparently not counted, as it was last year's, and the system automatically counts all trophies won in 1997, meaning that the remaining three trophies must be taken down to complete this task.

  The German Cup final is still relatively easy to say, Cottbus is obviously inferior to Kaiserslautern, but the European Super Cup is not small in difficulty. In the past European Champions' Cup final, Hisfield's Dortmund defeated Juventus 3-1 and won the European Champions' Cup title.

  This team has now become the most famous team in Germany, even overshadowing Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and previously hyped 1. FC Kaiserslautern, while Hitzfeld himself is also a candidate for European Coach of the Year.

  It so happens that Yang Chen was also one of them, as he led Kaiser Chiefs to win the Winners' Cup.

  This selection of the best coach after the year has less influence than the later European Coach of the Year, which is one of the awards in the UEFA Team of the Year, chosen by fans voting online.

  "To complete the hidden task, winning the German Cup is a prerequisite. Before next season, we must defeat Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup and Dortmund in the European Super Cup. Oh my god, does this system think that these two strongest teams in football today are circus monkeys?" Yang Cheng sighed with a bitter smile.

  But then again, if it were easy, it wouldn't be a hidden task.

  Under Ba Lai's watchful eye, Yang Cheng casually browsed through the player interface in the super system, then proceeded to examine the data and situation of each player on the first team.

  The current Kaiserslautern team has a group of players with good strength on each line, which is enough to compete in the Bundesliga. The left side may be slightly weaker, but Yang Cheng is preparing to introduce a left-back and a substitute for Dernilsen.

  In addition, in the central defender position, Kyle, Kosch and Lucio all have the ability to play as main players. As Bremer, Rutz and others get older, they are taking over naturally. However, Kosch also has some problems, that is, his speed and turning are very slow, belonging to the type of typical tall and strong but clumsy player.

  The 343 tactic has high requirements for the three central defenders, but Koscielny's weakness makes Yang Chen both love and hate him. He loves him because he has excellent front-line defensive skills and aerial combat tactics, but hates him because once the opponent has a player with relatively fast speed, Koscielny can easily become a hidden danger.

  Luis?Holt is another player similar to Koscielny, but this season he has played a lot of games, but his progress is not big enough. Next season, at best, he will be a qualified central defender substitute.

  In this way, regardless of whether Luts and Kadlec can stay or not, Yang Chen still hopes to introduce a central defender.

  Having thought of this, Yang Cheng suddenly wanted to search for players to see if there were any suitable ones, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly discovered a problem.

  In the player interface, several players' names were preceded by a yellow or green prefix, including Kaderabek, Rudy, Bremer, Keitel, Barak, Bellon, Gattuso, Marshall, and Vanni. Yang Cheng was shocked and quickly clicked in to take a look, immediately noticing that these players' transfer status had changed from before.

  "The Super Coach Assistant System is refreshed in real-time based on the actual situation, how could...” Yang Cheng had a bad premonition, especially after seeing Marshall's condition.

  Transfer situation: Kaiserslautern has accepted a transfer offer of $150,000 from Leipzig, and the player is considering Leipzig's personal treatment contract...... Transfer situation: The player is considering contracts offered by Denovis and Brno...... Yang Chengyi was stunned when he saw these two messages, because he knew very well what they represented.

  Marshall is from Leipzig, now he performs so well in the 2nd Bundesliga, and Leipzig failed to promote this season, it's natural that they want to recall this former youth player, and his age of 31 makes his price not possible to be higher, $1.5 million is also good.

  As for Kadlec, it is obvious that the club has already informed him in advance that they will not renew his contract. He will leave after this season, so currently his agent is helping him contact Czech league teams.

  In addition, many clubs have made offers for players in Kaiserslautern, and the list of tempted players includes Bellon, Ballack, Hengen-Taimi and other main players. The clubs that threw out olive branches to these players even include top-notch teams like Bayern and Dortmund.

  Having thought of this, Yang Cheng's head hurt and he slapped his forehead hard, he had to think clearly about what to do next.

  Just then, Paul Bier and Tim Hanks rushed into Yang Cheng's office in a flurry, startling him so much that he almost jumped out of his chair.

  "Something terrible has happened!" Paul Bayer exclaimed in a panic as soon as he came in.

  Yang Cheng's first reaction was the newspaper that he tightly grasped in his hand, it was a German kicker's newspaper. Paul immediately opened one of the pages, on which was written:

  "Marshawn has accepted Leipzig's contract, $1.5 million transfer to Leipzig, both sides have reached an agreement."

  Yang Cheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and then saw him clenching his fists, turning around, not letting anyone see his expression at this moment.

  "You should have laid your cards on the table or else the team you've worked so hard to build is going to fall apart!" Tim Hanks exclaimed.

  "Yes, Yang Cheng, you should speak up. Currently, including Bailong, Balak and many other players, their teams are asking for prices. If you don't stop it, we can't expect to see them in the next season!" Paul? Bayer also thinks that Yang Cheng should come forward.

  Yang Chen stood silently, knowing that Kaiserslautern's finances were not very good either, but it was not because of the $5 million spent on him this season. It was a long-standing problem, and the club's board of directors had many contradictions, such as at the beginning of the season, there was a director who directly accused Friedel of receiving kickbacks during player transfers, resulting in losses for the team and ultimately relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga.

  However, Yang Chen took an attitude of ignoring these things, because as long as the club continued to trust him and give him power, he would be able to bring returns to the club, which was beneficial to both Kaiserslautern and Yang Chen himself.

  But it's very obvious that now someone has already started to put their hands into Yang Cheng's forbidden zone!

  "Is Frederick in the office?" Yang Cheng asked in a low voice.

  Paul Bayer and Tim Hanks exchanged a look and nodded immediately, "Yeah, he's been in the office all day today!"

  After listening, Yang Cheng turned around and walked out of the office desk range. As he passed by two assistants, he thought of something and stopped, "You take good care of the players, I'll handle other things!"

  After finishing speaking, he left his office!
