94 The Dignity of the Captain

Once upon a time, this was definitely the most vicious curse in the world!

I used to be the most outstanding left-back in the world. At that time, I could run through the entire left side by myself and be invincible. No one could shake my authority whether it was offense or defense!

I used to be one of the best players in the world. I have won the greatest achievements in the world with my team. We once stood on the top of the world together and looked down on all living beings!

I used to be an irresistible fighter on the court, I used to...

But these have disappeared with time, and now I can only pursue these irreplaceable pasts in my memory!

By November 9, I would be 37 years old. At my age, there are not many players who can continue to stay on the football field. I am ready to leave, but the boss is right and I am not very willing to do so!

Today, Kaiserslautern is a young and dynamic team. The players are all very strong. Years of experience in playing football tells me that they all have the potential to become top stars, because their progress speed is absolutely amazing. They can definitely help Kaiserslautern return to the top of the Bundesliga.

It is precisely because of this that I am unwilling to accept that when the team I love most reaches the peak of glory, the name Andres Bremer is not on the team's roster; I am unwilling to accept that when I watched the team relegate, I vowed to watch him return to the peak with my own eyes that the oath of returning to the peak was not fulfilled; I am unwilling to accept that...

I have too many unwillingness to accept it, so I have to hold on, I have to hold on, and I must not let myself fall down!

The boss is right, this is a life-and-death game. Whoever can't hold on first will lose!

I must not let myself become a burden to the team!

Bremer's face was covered in sweat, trying hard to stand up straight, but he found that his waist was always bent down, his legs were trembling constantly, and sweat came out of his pores, which felt a little chill.

This is a sign of physical collapse!

But when he looked at the sidelines, Yang Cheng made an inquiry move at him, but he still shook his head stubbornly, squeezed out a smile, and signaled that he could hold on, but in fact, this series of actions was done by him gritting his teeth.

He only breathed a sigh of relief!

In this breath, he didn't want to keep it off the court, he wanted to vent his breath on his opponent!

In this way, use your actual actions to tell your teammates that as long as you have a breath, you must fight the enemy bravely! Even if you want to leave, he must choose the most manly and dignified way to leave this stadium!

Yang Cheng on the sidelines shook his head. He knew very well that Bremer's physical fitness was no longer good, but he did not easily change him because the latter still defended Zickler.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if it was not his body that supported Bremer, but the willpower in his soul, so even though his technical movements had been severely deformed, he was still able to defend Zickler again and again.

Trapatoni's tactics are very right. Even in the second half, he still chose to attack the left side where Bremer was stationed. He still chose to trust Zickler. He wanted to use Zickler to attack again and again, exhaust Bremer's physical fitness and force Kaiserslautern to make mistakes.

Trapatony paid enough attention to Bremer, and Sauer and Zickler were two-on-one. Because the Italians knew Bremer's style very well, he had to use this method to drag down the veteran, but he still underestimated Bremer's willpower.

"Christian, warm up!" Yang Cheng didn't look back, but shouted.

Qi Wu came to Yang Cheng at some point. He watched Bremer use a sliding tackle on the field and knocked down Zickler, and then struggled to get up. The whole process was very slow, but he seemed extremely determined and even refused the support of his teammates.

In this way, he leaned on himself and slowly stood up from the court. Even though his feet trembled, he could hardly hold on to the weight of his body, but he still chose to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Boss, I'm ready!" Qi Wu shouted with red eyes.

Yang Cheng grabbed Qi Wu and pointed at the field, "Boy, wait for you to go up later, remember this man, remember his shadow, and remember his fighting spirit. You must guard against the left side!" He shouted almost gritted his teeth.

Qi Wu gritted his teeth and nodded, "I promise, boss, I will not let Andres down, and I will never let my opponent cross the left defense line even if I die!"

"Yang Cheng, it's time to replace him!" Paul Bayer was sweating coldly from the side.

But Yang Cheng still gritted his teeth and shook his head. At this moment, he was thinking about something to fulfill Bremer and let him fight like a man until the end. Even if he lost this game, he still had to do this!

Because only in this way can he be worthy of this veteran!

Bayern launched another attack, but still chose the left side. Schal and Zickler were cooperating, and Bremer wrapped around Zickler tightly. When he saw Schal passing the ball over, he gritted his teeth and rushed out, trying to break the ball in advance, but unexpectedly, his right foot softened and he slipped to the ground.

But even so, he still chose to raise his foot and knocked the ball down just right. Gattuso, who was retreating, immediately cleared the ball's big foot out of the sideline.

"Andres!" Kyle immediately noticed something was wrong and immediately chased after him.

"Oh my God, captain!" Gatuso and others rushed over.

The players of Kaiserslautern immediately rushed up, and even old acquaintances such as Bayern's captain Mattus and Helmer rushed forward with concern.

"Are you okay, Andres?" Mattus was sweating heavily, but he looked concerned.

Bremer, who was lying on the ground, was not moving, and was soft and had no strength at all, but his eyes were filled with a strange look, and a satisfied smile spread out from the corner of his mouth.

The team doctor came and checked Bremer's condition. He had no physical contact or injury, but his physical strength was broken.

Bremer struggled to pull off the captain's armband from his left arm, but he did not hand it over to the deputy captain Kosch, but directly handed it to Barack's hand, and then patted Barack's hand that was holding the captain's armband tightly.

"I'm going down, it's up to you!"

Barack's eyes suddenly turned red, he nodded constantly, and said in a trembling voice: "I won't let you down!"

Bremer nodded, then looked at Nedved on the side and nodded.

The Czechs also had red eyes, but squeezed out a stiff smile, "Don't go to the locker room, Andres, wait on the sidelines, wait a moment, we will celebrate the victory with you!"

Bremer smiled and felt that the closest spiritual will in the team to him was Nedved and Barack, but the former was a foreign player and could not become the captain of the team, but Barack could.

Bremer slowly stretched out his left hand, and the players surrounding him immediately stretched out their hands one after another, holding them tightly together. Then the veteran signaled to the team doctor, lifted him onto a stretcher, and left the court.

When passing by Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng walked forward.

"I'm sorry, boss, please forgive my willfulness!"

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "No, Andres, you have inspired the fighting spirit of our players, we will definitely win this game!"

"Then will I go back to the locker room?" Bremer smiled.

Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, in another 20 minutes, we will celebrate the victory. Is it time for you?"

"Then forget it, I'll sit on the sidelines!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Qiwu replaced Bremer and served as the team's left back.

This young Romanian defender is highly valued by Yang Cheng. After coming to the team, he was arranged to study with Bremer. Then Yang Cheng used the three-fold growth rate scroll in succession to strive to improve his strength.

With his left foot, not tall and excellent physical fitness, Bremer saw the shadow of his youth from Qi Wu.

In Yang Cheng's plan, although Koshi has excellent frontal defense, his position in the three-back system cannot satisfy Yang Cheng either in the middle or left. In addition, Lucio, the best candidate for the right center back in the team, so the future combination of three-backs will be Ziwu, Kyle and Lucio.

The reason why Kyle was chosen in the middle is that in addition to his outstanding defensive ability, this central defender also has excellent skills. He can adapt to the current and take on the necessary organization and support tasks when attacking. As for the left and right center defenders, Qi Wu and Lucio, both have the ability to penetrate forward, especially the latter, who are good at dribbling the ball and inserting forward.

The forward insertion of the central defender can suddenly break the balance on the field, so Yang Cheng valued Lucio and Ziwu. Kosch's speed made it impossible for him to have the forward insertion ability. In addition, his skills made it difficult for him to meet the requirements of the central defender. Therefore, gradually, Yang Cheng will let Lucio replace Kosch when transforming the defense line.

After Chiwu replaced Bremer, the game started again.

As soon as he came on the court, Qi Wu used a fierce tackle to directly kill Shaoer, neatly and without fouls.

The Romanian teenager's debut was impressive. Later, when he faced Zickler and Sauer, his defense was very skilled, and speed was not his strength, so he learned from Bremer and used his position and prediction to make up for the lack of speed. In addition, there is a Kyle who is becoming more and more stable and more general behind him. Bayern Munich's offense was frozen again.

"Christian Ziwu, 17-year-old Sebastian Kyle, 19-year-old Lucio and Luis Hutt, Kaiserslautern has endless young defenders, and every player has shown good strength!"

After seeing Qi Wu's performance, even the on-site commentator had to be amazed at Yang Cheng's training of the players.

Originally, even if players of the age of 17 or 18 were lacking in strength, experience, awareness, etc., the young players in Kaiserslautern showed amazing precociousness.

If Kyle is ready to gain a foothold this season, then Qi Wu's performance is eye-catching. He is the left central defender that Yang Cheng strongly advocates for introducing this summer, and will definitely be valued. In addition, Lucio, who has accumulated a season of experience.

Not just the defense line, even when it comes to the midfield and frontcourt, the oldest team is the Czech midfielder Nedved, who has been introduced this season, who will turn 25 years old, Schneider 24 years old, Veron 22 years old, Barack and Vanny 21 years old, Denilson 20 years old, Gattuso 19 years old, and Kaiserslautern's entire team is undergoing a vigorous youth reform in just over a year.

But Yang Cheng is not the kind of blind pursuit of younger age. He is targeted. If the board of directors did not intervene this season, Rutz and Kadletz would still stay, and Wagner would also be left by Yang Cheng. At that time, the team will form a good age group configuration. While ensuring the vitality of the team, neither experience nor competitiveness will be greatly affected.

Just like the current central defender configuration, although Yang Cheng values ​​Qi Wu, Kyle and Lucio, he never arranges three young players to join forces. At least these three people do not have the ability to deal with major competitions at the moment, so he used Bremer and Kosch to lead the new with the old, which not only gives young people the opportunity to train, but also ensures the team's performance.

This model will continue this season, and Keshi is only 27 years old, and in his golden age, he will be the pillar of the defense line that Yang Cheng relies on.

This central defender who joined Kelslautern from a fourth-level small village team Tsv in the summer of 1995. The most brilliant one in his previous career was in the first round of the 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the 1994/95 German Cup. Kosch also joined Kelslautern with his outstanding performance in this game, and Tsv was annexed by Fert, which was later played for Fert.

Since joining Kaiserslautern, every time he encounters Bayern, Mr. Kosch has been able to perform exceptionally well. This is the case in this game. He almost showed the strength of the Dinghai Shentou, steady and experienced. Yankel is not at all advantage in front of him.

After Ko suppressed Yankel, his partner became more at will. It was Bremer before, but now it was Ziwu's turn, and Kaiserslautern's defense became impoverished.

This is the importance of veterans at critical moments!

The stability of the defense line allows Kaiserslautern to invest more troops in the offense.

There is a full-time defender in the midfield, and with the position premise, Kyle, who actively participates in the organization and support, makes Kaiserslautern's formation very high and always maintains pressure on Bayern's midfield and frontcourt.

Trapatoni's defensive counterattack is indeed very sharp, but it is based on the premise that he can counterattack. The midfield and frontcourt are suppressed, and Yankel in the frontcourt is imprisoned at this point. Bayern's defensive counterattack is difficult to work and cannot organize an effective counterattack. With Zickler's counterattack weapon, it cannot be used, just like a gun without bullets.

On the other hand, Kaiserslautern controlled the game, maintained the pressure on the midfield and frontcourt, and created opportunities anytime and anywhere. Especially after Bremer got off the court, Yang Cheng quickly replaced Schneider with Larson and went from Perron to the right to play the full-back, which is also his position in the Argentina domestic league.

However, for Kaiserslautern at this moment, the position boundary is no longer important, just like Bellon, who seems to be on the right, but in fact he is more back to the middle, Gattuso is running all over the field, Kyle is the center back, but he is equivalent to a midfielder, Nedved frequently shuttles back and forth from the left and middle.

Bayern Munich's defense is indeed very good. Two midfielders, four defenders on the defense line, and the team's three lines are retracted, so the space restrictions are very good, so Kaiserslautern's players can only take advantage of the situation.

In this way, it turned out to be a running state that seemed disordered but was actually very orderly.

Yang Cheng watched Bremer run and support the players on the court after he came off the court. He really had the urge to shout, because he saw that almost the most exciting period of running since he coached Kaiserslautern. Whether it was the defense line, the midfield or the forward, every player's running was aimed at the loopholes in Bayern's defensive system.

We support each other and echo each other. Passing and receiving are also very smooth. Because the running pulls out the gap and creates space, there will be more choices for passing, fewer mistakes, and greater threats. These are proportional!

"We will definitely win this game!" Yang Cheng suddenly felt overwhelmed with confidence!

Paul Bayer was also amazed at the side because he understood Yang Cheng's tactics and knew that the team's current style of playing was very close to what Yang Cheng had for them. The players finally began to integrate the essence of Yang Cheng's tactics.

"After going back, you must edit all the videos of the last 20 minutes of the game, and take shots from all angles to let the players study and become familiar with them!" Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the overall performance of the team at the last moment of the game. He believed that this was definitely the peak state that this team can play in Kaiserslautern.

Paul Bayer and others obviously agree with this.

"Oh my God, Kaiserslautern completely suppressed Bayern Munich in terms of momentum, tactics, or scenes. The latter could only barely bear the impact of Kaiserslautern every time, but the Red Devils' attack seemed to be one wave after another, with no sign of weakening."

"It would be better for Trapatoni to reverse the situation through adjustments and substitutions as soon as possible, otherwise, Bayern would probably be unable to escape this game!"

Sometimes football matches are like this. When one side’s advantage accumulates to a certain level, it’s a matter of time before scoring a goal!

How to describe this advantage can only be based on one feeling. If you see too much of the ball, you will feel this feeling.

As for the game where the opponent is completely overwhelming but cannot score points, this feeling will not be obvious, because the side that has the advantage must have made a mistake in a certain link.

To put it in a very famous saying, as long as a game can create a good opportunity for players to shoot 15 times, even if the opponent's goalkeeper is a god, even amateur player can score goals, or even multiple goals.

Now Yang Cheng has this feeling, and as the end of the game approaches, this feeling becomes stronger and stronger, because the players on the court are more and more involved in the game, and the running and passing and receiving are becoming more and more smooth. Bayern was almost forced to play in the half of the team.
Chapter completed!
