Having temporarily put aside the influence of Mascati, Yang Cheng talked to Perron for a while, and from the latter's words, it was revealed that he was helpless about it, but Yang Cheng just asked him to train and compete hard as long as he continued to stay in Kaiserslautern for one day. Perron nodded without hesitation to agree.

Yang Cheng did not make any clarification to the whole matter. Even when Mascati deliberately leaked the news that Peron refused to raise the salary and was clamoring to transfer to the media, Yang Cheng still refused to comment as always.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng did a very straightforward and neat job in another matter.

The schedule of the European Super Cup is still a two-round home and away system, and the time is generally scheduled in February of the following year. It just so happened that the Bundesliga rekindled its battle in February. Originally, UEFA wanted to schedule the two-round matches in early January and early March, but Yang Cheng hoped to schedule the matches on February 4 and February 11, that is, between rounds 21, 22 and 23 of the league.

For this matter, Yang Cheng personally called Dortmund's Heathfield. The two could almost say that they hit it off. The latter immediately agreed to jointly propose a joint proposal to adjust the schedule, because the German winter break starts on December 20. If the game is held on January 8, wouldn't it be necessary for the team to postpone the holiday?

The 21st round of the game will be held on January 30, so the players' winter break holidays will inevitably be affected, so Yang Cheng and Heathfield jointly made suggestions, hoping that UEFA will adjust the schedule of the UEFA Super Cup.

After receiving the request from the two coaches, UEFA immediately made an investigation and finally decided to respect their decision and schedule the game to be held in early February, avoiding the German winter break.

After winning this favorable adjustment for the team, the players are more motivated because they can get almost a month of winter break, which is definitely a rare charging for the players.

But immediately afterwards, the team's board of directors made a decision and after holding a player meeting, it announced the bonus budget system of Kaiserslautern this season. This system was basically carried out in accordance with Yang Cheng's requirements, so it immediately received response and support from the players. They all expressed their willingness to perform harder to help the team achieve better results, and they can also get higher bonuses.

It was in this warm preparation atmosphere that Kaiserslautern ended his pre-season physical energy reserves and began to fully enter the new season's technical and tactical preparations.

In order to prepare for his first Bundesliga debut season, Yang Cheng has strictly grasped the details and refused to let go of every aspect. Especially since last season, he has asked Paul Bayer to start in-depth investigations into the information of Bundesliga teams. From preparations to now, Paul Bayer has been constantly collecting the technical and tactical analysis and characteristics of each Bundesliga team, as well as game videos.

The scientific level in 1997 is not as good as in 2011, so Yang Cheng has many ideas that cannot be realized, but the game video highlights can still be achieved. Although it is impossible to record video highlights for each player's counterattack as Yang Cheng asked, he still tried to do better.

The first game video highlights to be formulated are Bayern Munich, who was the first round of the league. This team will not only be the first round of the Kaiserslautern League, but also likely to be the last opponent in the German Super Cup.

In addition, Yang Cheng is also paying close attention to Stuttgart. This Bundesliga powerhouse is currently in trouble with transfers. He scored 17 league goals for the team's forward last season. Brazilian center Elber, who performed well in Stuttgart for two consecutive seasons, is currently dating Bayern Munich.

Stuttgart naturally tried his best to keep the Brazilian center who scored 41 goals in 87 games in three seasons, but Elber himself hoped to reach the peak of his career in Bayern Munich.

In order to avoid the team's losses, Stuttgart is also making the worst plan, that is, if Elber transfers to Bayern, they will introduce Nigerian striker Akpoborli from Rostock to replace Elber's departure.

The team drew Bochum 2:2 in Aue. The team's skills and tactics seemed a bit chaotic. Obviously, the team's pre-season preparations were affected because of the player's transfer. Although Bochum was finally eliminated 6:5 with a penalty kick, Yang Cheng saw the flaws of the team.

"First of all, the offense. After Elber was deeply involved in a transfer dispute, the team's condition was obviously affected, which led to Stuttgart's offense being greatly weakened. They wanted to ask for Pavel Kuka before, but now the latter has switched to Nuremberg, and Stuttgart is somewhat unable to take over the striker."

Before Kaiserslautern went to Osnabrück, the team held a tactical seminar against Stuttgart in the semifinals. At the meeting, Yang Cheng asked the players to watch the video highlights of Stuttgart and analyzed the team's technical and tactical advantages and disadvantages.

Currently, Stuttgart's head coach is also a young coach, and later the head coach of the German national team, Löw. The biggest feature of Stuttgart he coaches is that the trident composed of the frontcourt, the trident composed of Balakov, Bobic and Elber scatters across the Bundesliga, among which Bobic and Elber form a double striker, and Bulgarian star Barakov organizes support behind them.

The technical characteristics of these three players are very complementary, and Balakov's excellent organizational ability makes Stuttgart scored 78 goals in the Bundesliga last season after being grounded and formed, and the Trident's goals reached double digits, becoming the most powerful offensive team in the Bundesliga.

But now Elber is in the transfer quagmire and is pressed on the bench by Lov. Bobic is alone in front and can't stand it alone. Barakov is also a little isolated in the midfield. In this way, it is not impossible to stare at Stuttgart.

Just imagine that the Trident has a missing corner, and it can be imagined how much impact and impact this Stuttgart!

"Stuttgart's defense line has also changed a lot. These are our opportunities, but we must not be careless as Balakov is a well-known European organizational midfielder, especially his left-footed free kick. At the front of the penalty area, we must minimize fouls, use the midfield to directly suppress the opponents and push them out of the dangerous area!"

The confrontation of football is an offensive and defensive game where you go back and forth, you retreat and I advance. If Kaiser Slautern presses, Stuttgart can only choose to retreat unless he can withstand the pressure, extend the distance between the forward and the opponent's goal.

Yang Cheng has absolute confidence in his midfield. After a season of running-in, there are really few teams that can suppress Kaiserslautern's midfield, even if they can't even be able to do it, even a top team like Barcelona.

"The midfield suppresses the opponent, we mainly play two wing lanes, with Luther, Michael and Pavel supporting him in the middle. You should know what to do!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Fanny's sense of shooting and Barack and Nedved's back row insertion have become sharp weapons for Yang Cheng's offense and powerful weapons for Kaiserslautern to constantly defeat powerful enemies!

"Guys, this season is our new season back to the Bundesliga. I hope you understand that our goal is not just to relegation. We were the European Cup winners of last season. The European powerhouses that fell under our feet include Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Dortmund. We have enough strength and confidence to achieve even better and better results!"

"As always, although many people say that the German League Cup is just a pre-season training cup, but in my dictionary, any competition is crucial. I hope you may also understand that this time, leaving Kaiserslautern to Osnabrück, there is only one destination, and returning from Leverkusen!"

Leverkusen is the venue for the League Cup final, with the two semi-finals held by Osnabrück and Augsburg respectively. The winners gathered at Leverkusen's home court on July 26 to compete for the final championship.

July 22nd afternoon Osnabrück.

Although it is only the semi-finals of the League Cup, Osnatel Stadium is still packed, with crowds of people in the stands that can accommodate 20,000 people. There are both Kaiserslautern fans, Stuttgart fans, and some neutral fans who come to hear about the style of Kaiserslautern, the most popular team in Europe last season.

In this game, Yang Cheng arranged for Reinke to start, with Lucio, Kyle and Kosch on the defense, and the midfield still remained unchanged, Nedved, Peron, Gattuso and Barack, and the left winger position. Since Denilson just returned to the team after participating in the Copa America, Salihamidic became the team's starting left winger.

In the right winger position, Yang Cheng let Desler sit on the bench, appointing Schneider, who has more experience, as the right winger, and the forward is the Dutch center Van Nisstruy, who Yang Cheng has high expectations this season.

From the beginning of the game, Kaiserslautern actively pushed forward the offense, especially on both sides, playing very actively and actively, but neither Salihamidic nor Schneider were still in the running-in period with the team and still failed to cooperate with the players during the game.

Originally, Yang Cheng could use Denilson's, and the Brazilian performed very well in the Copa America to help Brazil win the championship, but because of this, he missed the pre-season preparation, so Yang Cheng arranged for him to rest and inspect Salihamidic by the way.

"Salihamidic is very fast and has excellent personal breakthrough skills. However, he is used to being the core in Hamburg, so he must correct this!" Yang Cheng watched the game on the sidelines and reminded.

People who are used to being the core always have a lazy mindset, thinking that others should play games around themselves. This does not mean that players are playing big names, but an inertial mindset brought about by being accustomed to being the core. However, this kind of mentality and thought is not allowed in Yang Cheng's team.

Seeing Salihamidic succeeded in several breakthroughs on the left, but the next pass was a bit disappointing. One of them, Fanny had already run to the position, but he chose to do it recklessly.

On the contrary, Schneider on the right is not as sharp as Salihamidic's breakthrough and speed, but he is more skillful in the cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt. It is probably related to his origin from Jena, while Salihamidic comes from Hamburg in the Bundesliga.

"When Denilson recovers, let Salihamidic rest for a while!" Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Paul Baier smiled bitterly, knowing that Yang Cheng planned to force Salihamidic to change by using the method of slaughtering eagles, but this was also a solution that could not be done.

After a season of tempering and growth, coupled with the maturity of Yang Cheng's super coaching assistance system, Kaiserslautern's players' strength has made great progress, especially in the midfield, Barack, Peron, Nedved and others, the strength of all exceeded 165, among which Peron reached 172, and Gattuso's strength also reached 157.

Although the strength of these players in Kaiserslautern does not seem to be high, especially Gattuso, in fact, the data allocation of this player is quite reasonable and will never lose to those top superstars with strength of 180 or above.

Take the most important attribute of a midfield defender as an example. Gattuso's endurance is 20 full value, and the position sense is only 15, but the teamwork and work attitude are 18 and 20, respectively, and the determination and decision are 20 and 17, respectively. In addition, the defensive technology's man-tapping and tackle are 17 and 19, respectively. From this point of view, Gattuso is a very qualified midfield defender.

What Yang Cheng needs to do next is to improve his other values ​​as much as possible, such as offense and defensive predictions, which can make Gattuso's career go further, and his contribution to the team will be greater than now.

As for Barack and Nedved, these two players are characterized by comprehensiveness and excellent offense and defense, but they also have one thing in common, that is, their teamwork and work attitude are very high, both above 17. Perron also reached 15 and 17 in work commitment and teamwork, which is considered very high.

Under such circumstances, Kaiserslautern's midfield firmly suppressed Stuttgart's midfield. Although Barakov was outstanding, he could not stand alone. Facing Kaiserslautern's strong midfield alone, he had no choice from the beginning of the game that the road to head-on cannot be achieved.

He wanted to retreat, but Kaiserslautern immediately pressed and lost Elber. Bobic alone could not achieve anything in front. Even if Kaiserslautern pressed forward, further compressing Stuttgart's midfield and frontcourt, Stuttgart still could not change this situation.

In the 31st minute, after half an hour of testing and confrontation, Kaiserslautern finally found an opportunity. Perron passed the ball to the right. After Schneider took the ball with his back, he used his skillful foot movement to protect the ball. After seeing that he could not pass the opponent on the side, he suddenly stopped suddenly and changed direction and passed a straight pass through the ball.

Barack originally wanted to come over to meet him, but immediately inserted it in the back row, and then hit the ball with one kick.

The ball hit the advantage and passed through the crotch of the Stuttgart central defender. Fanny inserted from the outside of the penalty area. Before the defender, he easily shot the football coming across.

The ball swayed and rolled into the goal against the right post, 1:0!

After scoring the goal, Fanny seemed very excited. Barack gave this ball very comfortable. After he inserted it, he didn't have to spend any effort and shot directly. The angle was also well controlled, and the goalkeeper was out of reach!

Barack ran towards Van Nie first, and then the two hugged each other tightly to welcome the teammates who came from behind to celebrate. When Schneider came over, the two hugged him tightly again, using this method to prove that he also made a great contribution to this goal.

After breaking the deadlock on the court, Yang Cheng is more confident in this game!

In the 43rd minute, Lucio broke the ball to Bobic from the left backcourt and took advantage of Stuttgart's offense and defense conversion before he could adjust, and suddenly dribbled the ball forward and planned a quick counterattack as his left central defender.

Peron, Fanny and Salihamidic on the left also actively followed and advanced.

Originally, Salihamidic was the fastest, and he was on the left, but he overlapped with Van Ni's running. Seeing that he couldn't pass, Lucio immediately handed the ball to Peron, who passed it straight through.

Fanny was originally going to cooperate with Salihamidic on the left, but almost collided. He started to go horizontally to the right outside the penalty area. Peron's ball just passed to the right. Fanny adjusted the ball on the right side of the top of the penalty area, and directly shot with his feet. The goalkeeper responded, but the ball speed was too fast, so he could only watch the ball pass by his feet and rolled straight to the ball net, 2:0!

After two consecutive goals, Kaiserslautern was full of morale. Before the end of the first half, he launched another round of offensive, which made Stuttgart's defense line panic.

"Love must be regretting this time. If Elber is there, the situation will be completely different!" Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the team's performance and his smile was bright.

Elber played a double-double in the Bundesliga last season, with both goals and assists reaching double digits, and his condition is excellent. On the other hand, although Bobic scored a lot of goals, he had very few assists, with only one, and he is a relatively unique center.

Another very important feature is that Elber is good at taking balls with his back. The most popular scene in the Bundesliga last season was that Barakov directly passed the ball to Elber, who relied on the defender to get the ball, and then waited for his teammates to press the ball before passing the ball or splitting the side. This is why Barakov was able to score so many goals.

Now that Elber has lost, Stuttgart lacks a man who can hold the ball in the frontcourt, and the offense has completely become a hammer deal, so it is naturally simple to defend. Moreover, Kaiserslautern has put forward pressure and lost Elber's speed, Stuttgart is equivalent to losing the fangs of the counterattack.

Although it was only 2:0, Yang Cheng was sure to win this game. Lou regretted that he stubbornly excluded Elber from the roster. However, after this game, I believe he will see more clearly the role of Elber in the current Stuttgart tactical system.

Sometimes, buying players for a team is not just about substitutions with their characteristics. After all, every player has his own technical characteristics and habits. No player in this world has the same technical characteristics, just like there are no two identical leaves in this world!
