One Hundred and Thirty, the Way Yang Cheng Wants to Go
The appearance of Sharon Stone was just a very small episode to the whole celebration. No one took this matter to heart. At least in Yang Cheng's heart, she was just a passerby.
The whole parade around the city was very intense and enthusiastic!
It's not that Kaiserslautern has never won the championship, they also won the Bundesliga championship in the season, but this time the championship is very different from the previous ones, that is, this time the championship is enough to make the whole city crazy about it.
Although winning the championship this season is also out of the trough, Kaiserslautern was only on the verge of relegation this season, and finally succeeded in relegation ahead of schedule, so the fans are only dissatisfied with the team's performance and have no other emotions.
However, Kaiserslautern was relegated 2 years ago, and the image of the fans towards the club collapsed almost overnight. The relegation experience, coupled with the club's financial problems, made the fans pessimistic about the club's future, and some even despaired.
Yang Cheng carried the dreams of all fans at this critical moment. He was like a savior who came out of a dreamy fairy tale. He led Kaiserslautern to win the championship and upgrade with excellent results. Albert, the four-time champion of League Two, has brought expectations and hope to the fans.
But even so, no one thinks that the team can win the Bundesliga.
It wasn't until the end of the first half of the league that Kaiserslautern took the lead in the league, and all Kaiserslautern fans really realized that the team they loved was so powerful that they Really realized that the team really has a chance to win the championship!
Ever since, the grievance and depression of the whole two years have been completely vented. The home games of Kaiserslautern in the second half of the league were full, and even the American soldiers followed to watch the game.
From the original disappointment, even despair, to today's rekindled hope, the fans' emotions have been like a roller coaster in two years, with ups and downs, so when the team won the championship, their joy is also unprecedented.
The streets and alleys of Kaiserslautern were crowded with fans who came out to celebrate. This day seemed to be a public festival in Kaiserslautern, and even the mayor of Kaiserslautern personally attended the event. The bus was stopped in front of the city hall, and he personally went up to celebrate with Yang Cheng and the players, and kissed the Bundesliga champion on the sand table.
Almost overnight, Kaiserslautern once again became the hero and symbol of the city. The impact of the team's relegation was completely eliminated, and the club's reputation was pushed to a higher level. highest point.
The newly promoted horse won the championship miracle,
This has never happened before in the history of the Bundesliga, but Kaiserslautern did it. It is like the miracle of Bern in 1954. What it brings to the fans is not only a championship, but also a spirit and a high spirit. Unyielding fighting spirit.
Yang Cheng, a 26-year-old Chinese, enjoyed the cheers and love of the fans along the way. Almost every place he went, the shouts of Caesar kept coming.
There has never been a Chinese who can enjoy such treatment in a German city, he is the first!
He who led Kaiserslautern to achieve a miracle became the hero of Kaiserslautern and the most legendary talented head coach in German football!
After the celebration ended, we returned to the Fritz Walter Stadium. The ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in Germany and his team met with Yang Cheng under the witness of the Capital TV station and a number of authoritative media from China. , and thanked him for boosting the country's prestige in Germany and raising his eyebrows for the Chinese.
Yang Cheng has long been used to this official form. After all, the leader of the interview team of Capital TV is his friend Ye Wen, so he cooperated with the formalities and invited everyone to participate in the Kaiserslautern celebration at night. No drunk no return!
That night, almost half of the city of Kaiserslautern fell into silence. Everyone gathered on the hill where the Fritz Walter Stadium is located, as well as the nearby Alterbach Street. Excited and excited, while drunk fans.
In order to maintain law and order, the police station had to temporarily dispatch more police officers to maintain order that night, and even borrowed a lot of police force from surrounding cities such as Mannheim to ensure the safety and order of fans during the celebration.
As the head coach of the team, although Yang Cheng also participated in the celebration, he was very restrained, because he knew very well that the 34th round of the league can be ignored, but he must pay attention to the final of the Cup Winners Cup.
If this championship is won again, Kaiserslautern will create another legendary history.
In order to prepare for the Cup Winners Cup final, Yang Cheng specially gave the players two days off to let them take a good rest after the team won the championship, especially the main players in the team. Yang Cheng even decided to give up the 34th round of the league and prepare wholeheartedly. Cup Winners Cup Final.

"Knock knock~~"
Werner Meltzer knocked on the door of Yang Cheng's office. He had just seen the head coach who sent off the Chinese interview team return to the training base. He must be in his office at this moment.
"Come in!" Sure enough, Yang Cheng's voice came from inside.
Meltzer walked in with a smile. Yang Cheng was the only one in the office, and some game videos were playing on the TV. Even if you didn't watch them, you knew it was Chelsea's game videos.
"Are you following the Cup Winners Cup final?" Meltzer sighed in admiration.
Many people think that Yang Cheng's success is talent, but in fact it is because they don't know Yang Cheng's hard work.
No one's success in this world is doomed, even geniuses like Ronaldo rely on hard training to achieve today's achievements.
"Well, you know, this trophy has never been defended!" Yang Cheng said casually.
Werner Meltzer nodded. He admired Yang Cheng's boldness and self-confidence. Because no one had ever defended his title, Yang Cheng wanted to be the first one, and maybe the only one!
"Tell me, what can I do for you?" Yang Cheng turned off the TV with a smile, came to sit behind the desk, motioned for Melzer to sit in front of him, and then asked.
Melzer shook the folder in his hand and handed it to Yang Cheng, "First of all, it is about the summer presidential election. So far, no one has proposed to participate in the election!" His eyes flashed with color .
Everyone knows the record of Kaiserslautern this season. Yang Cheng, the head coach, is regarded as the biggest contributor to the team's championship. The biggest bargaining chip to win without choosing a strategy.
Everyone knows that Yang Cheng supports Meltzer!
"This is a good thing, congratulations!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Meltzer shook his head, "As you said, everything is still possible before the dust settles!"
Yang Cheng laughed and cursed, feeling that Meltzer plagiarized his famous quotes.
"But I'm here today mainly to talk to you about the club's power reform!" Meltzer suppressed his smile and said seriously.
Yang Cheng's expression also became serious. He knew that Meltzer was planning to take advantage of the team's chance of winning the championship and attack the board of directors directly, so that the members of the board of directors would be more comfortable, and just put on a name. Stop easily intervening in the team management.
This is what Yang Cheng has been encouraging him to do before, and now it seems that he has a plan.
"As stated in the special report just released by Kicker magazine, since you coached Kaiserslautern, for two consecutive seasons, the team's income and expenditure have been very satisfactory, especially this season, we It will turn losses into profits!" Melzer said excitedly.
Winning a Bundesliga championship, in addition to bringing a prize to Kaiserslautern, also has a lot of bonuses. Coupled with Yang Cheng's previous frugal style, most of Kaiserslautern's expenditures are on players. In terms of salary, but the income is good, especially the sponsorship income, which has increased a lot.
This can also be regarded as a major contribution of Yang Cheng to the club, that is, he reminded Melzer to pay attention to developing sponsors, which is why Kaiserslautern is financially healthy today.
"Winning the championship this season will make more profits next season, but players' salaries will also increase accordingly, so we should work harder on business development!" Yang Cheng thought for a while and pointed out.
Melzer nodded, "Yes, I think so too. Currently, Nike intends to increase sponsorship costs. In addition, we are actively contacting new jersey sponsors and a series of other sponsors. These can bring us a fortune. A lot of sponsorship income, improving the club's operating conditions!"
"The improvement of the stadium is also very important!" Yang Cheng reminded.
The current management of the Fritz Walter Stadium is actually very backward. Apart from some basic ticket sales and convenience stores, there is nothing else at all. This is unimaginable to Yang Cheng.
Judging from the almost full attendance in Kaiserslautern, the fans’ spending power is very high, but the club has no corresponding measures. Not good, but there is certainly no such excuse now.
"My initial idea is to improve the stadium's hardware and business environment, improve the training ground and youth training system, and improve the business team's operational capabilities. All of these must be completed during the summer league break!" Melzer was very impressed with Yang Cheng. trust.
Yang Cheng showed a hint of appreciation, nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but in this way, I'm afraid the team's income will be spent!"
Meltzer shrugged, a little helpless, he is now operating on a small budget, "That's why I want you to nod, because if I really do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a transfer fee for you this summer!"
On the one hand, the team has paid more bonuses after winning the championship, and at the same time, the salaries of the players have to be improved accordingly. In addition to this series of actions, although the expenses are not very large, the team wants to operate in the transfer market again. It must be hopeless.
Yang Cheng thought about it, the current team's striker and midfielder are very strong, and the personnel is also very neat, as long as the players do not leave, there is no need to make corresponding supplements, but in the defense line, Yang Cheng hopes to introduce a Seasoned veteran.
The performance of the back line this season is honestly not satisfactory. Fritz and Dede are both full-backs and have a lot of opportunities to play, but they are mainly offensive in Yang Cheng's tactical system, so I won't talk about it.
Kosch, Lucio, Kyle, Kivu, and Luis Huth are all candidates for central defenders, but apart from Kosch, Lucio has improved a lot, but he is a bit edgy. Kyle is more stable and can also serve as a forward. Insert playmaker, but still relatively young, Kivu and Louis? Huth are young.
In this case, it's okay to deal with the German domestic league, but once in the European Champions Cup, when you encounter those old fritters, especially the top teams with super offensive capabilities, Kaiserslautern's defense It will definitely be blown up.
Those who say that the tactical style of using offense instead of defense and always scoring one more goal than the opponent is nonsense, because commanding a team with this tactical thinking will definitely make everyone laugh.
If you compare a team to an infrastructure building, then the defense line is the foundation, and the strength of this foundation determines how high your building can be built.
Kaiserslautern's defense has made repeated mistakes this season, and Yang Cheng has long been mentally prepared for this. Kesch is a good player, but last season he had a lot of injuries and his state fluctuated a lot. It can be great when it's good, and it's not ideal when it's bad.
Yang Cheng wants a defensive core that can bring the team experience and stability at critical moments.
"It's not a big problem, but I have a request, that is, to keep the current group of players in the team, and none of them can leave!" Not paying the transfer fee is not a big problem for Yang Cheng, but he is not making up for it. To sell a player, that is definitely a negative performance.
Melzer nodded solemnly, "I have arranged a contract extension for several players in the team, and negotiations have begun. I can assure you that none of these players will leave!"
"You help me contact another main player!" Yang Cheng laughed.
"Who?" Meltzer agreed without hesitation.
"Thomas Link of Schalke 04, this player's contract with Schalke 04 expires this season, and he will be transferred freely. At present, many teams including Bayern and Dortmund have taken a fancy to him. Bring Tillingen!"
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng added another sentence, "With him, we might be able to make a big splash in the European arena next year!"
If you want to make a difference in the European arena, defense is the key. As long as you can win Thomas Link, the level of the defense will be greatly improved, and Yang Cheng will be more confident.
But Yang Cheng also knows that although Thomas Link is a free transfer, which saves the transfer fee, but the salary has to be increased, so correspondingly, the team's operating pressure will be greater, but if the team If he can flex his muscles in the European arena and increase his income in the European arena, Thomas Link's salary is nothing.
"Okay, I'll contact Schalke 04 later!" Melzer nodded immediately.
Yang Cheng also laughed and said: "Werner, you want to reform the team's management, I absolutely support it, but I hope you can make it clear that this is not only for me, but also for future generations, then That is, the authority of the head coach must be consolidated, and the investment in the youth training system must be sustained!"
With the continuous improvement of tactics, the role of the head coach has become more and more important, and in the end he has become the soul core of the team. Although today's teams generally do not pay much attention to the head coach, as a latecomer, Yang Cheng is very clear This point has changed, so it is proposed to consolidate the authority of the head coach.
As for the youth training, the youth training system established by Yang Cheng for Kaiserslautern is working well. With this prototype, as long as you keep investing in it, the youth training camp in Kaiserslautern will not be bad.
Meltzer has talked with Yang Cheng many times, and he is a football player, so he knows the importance of the head coach and youth training, and immediately promises to pay attention to it.
"I don't want a transfer fee this summer. As you said, I will invest all in the construction of the stadium and training hardware and software facilities. This is a long-term plan for the club. In the future, I can get a steady stream of income from it!" Yang Sincerely said generously.
Melzer looked at Yang Cheng gratefully, knowing that the latter was thinking about the club's financial income.
If Kaiserslautern joins the Bundesliga in the future, coupled with stadium revenue and sponsor income, the club can basically achieve healthy operations. For Kaiserslautern, which was still in deep financial disputes two years ago, Definitely great news.
In Yang Cheng's view, Kaiserslautern does not have the support of a large consortium behind it, and it is not located in a prosperous big city. It is impossible to transform into a top giant. Even in the Bundesliga, it is difficult to compete with the giants of Bayern. At best, it is to become a strong team like Dortmund and Leverkusen, guarantee European competitions in the future, and occasionally taste the championship.
It is because of this that Yang Cheng decided to support Meltzer's reform.
To be honest, he has feelings for this team. He doesn't want to leave this team with a mess and a lot of debts after he leaves. In the end, he has to sell the stars to pay off the debts. This is not what he wants. have witnessed.
Conversely, if he supports Meltzer's reform and the club enters into a healthy business, although it still cannot retain top stars, at least it can guarantee that it will not be affected by debts, be responsible for its own profits and losses, and live without depending on other people's faces, as long as the youth training is done well , this team can still become a strong team in the Bundesliga in the future.
At the very least, it won't be downgraded again!
Yang Cheng remembered that Kaiserslautern in his previous life was due to debts, which made Rehhagel and Bremer powerless, and finally relegated in despair. He hoped to avoid all this.
If he can really do this, countless people will remember Kaiserslautern when they mention Kaiserslautern in the future. His coaching reputation is definitely a big improvement.
Conversely, if he coaches Kaiserslautern, only cares about performance, regardless of finances, and wins the championship in the end, and he switches to another team, but Kaiserslautern is relegated in despair, everyone will only think that Yang Cheng squeezed the last of Kaiserslautern's efforts, leaving an unmanageable mess.
Yang Cheng is unwilling to do this. Although he knows in his heart that it is easier to succeed in this way, he still does not want to do this. He would rather choose a more difficult path, because he has feelings for this club and the fans here!
