Chapter 36： Table 1 in Isola Bella (top)

In the Bundesliga last season, Kaiserslautern had one of the best Bundesliga backs. They only had 35 goals conceded, second in the Bundesliga, better than Leverkusen, and scored only 31 This is the worst in the Bundesliga, which brought Kaiserslautern's draw to 18 games, the most Bundesliga draw.

It can be said that a large part of the relegation of Kaiserslautern is because of their offense, and the biggest weakness lies in the midfield. This can be seen from the strength of the players in the midfield. Greiner and Wagner are only 135 and respectively. 138, and these two players are the main force of Kaiserslautern last season.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how the midfield strength of Kaiserslautern!

Therefore, when Yang Cheng took office, the focus was on the midfielder, because with the strength of Olaf Marshall and Pavel Kuka, as long as the midfielder can create opportunities, he can score goals on the front line.

In order to create opportunities, in addition to an organizational core, you must also have an excellent wing assaulter. The combination of the side and the middle is the king, but today neither Grenaa nor Wagner have the strength of wing assault. Fritz counts one, but he can only play the right, and his assault ability is not as good as Yang Cheng.

In Yang Cheng ’s mind, Fritz ’s most suitable position is on the right-back, where he can play his both offensive and defensive characteristics, but now Yang Cheng wants to play a three-back, he can only put him in the midfield, but this versatile The performance in the midfield is also good, and with Fritz, Yang Cheng can occasionally change to 4 guards.

Of course, it does not mean that Kaiserslautern has no good place, that is the back line!

This line of defense, which has performed very well even in the Bundesliga, includes not only the old and powerful former world-class superstars such as Bremer, but also defensive tycoons such as Kosch, Lutz and Kadletz. Kaiserslautern Except for Bremer, the other players in the back line are not well-known, but the victory is practical.

According to Yang Cheng ’s plan, in Kaiserslautern this season, he will insist on playing the 3-guard system. Kyle who comes with him is the best candidate for the center-back. Bremer also has one, but he is also older. They are all 36 years old and it is impossible to rely on him all season.

Kosch, Lutz, Kadletz and Luis Hut are all suitable candidates in these three positions, but these all have problems with older age, so Yang Cheng ’s idea is to introduce a young potential youngster , To be sculpted.

In terms of goalkeepers, the current number one goalkeeper Reynke has excellent strength and solid front-end skills. Yang Cheng remembers that in the 0304 season, Werder Bremen won the championship lineup, Reynke is the main goalkeeper, and now has a lot to do He is exactly 27 years old, the golden age of the goalkeeper.

Instead, it is a substitute goalkeeper, with a strength of only 106. Yang Cheng is not very at ease with him. After all, if the team wants to participate in the European Cup of the Winners this season, there must be a reliable substitute goalkeeper.

After filtering through his analysis in his mind, Yang Cheng found that his next priority was to introduce an organizational core, which was the top priority, followed by one or two wing assaulters, a backup forward, and a The central defender also has a backup goalkeeper.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help feeling a headache.

So far this season, he has introduced Barack, Kyle, Fritz, Luis Hut, Nedved and Gattuso, and these players have spent a total of $ 2.75 million.

If another wing assaulter, a forward, a central defender and a backup goalkeeper are introduced, Yang Cheng will bring a full of 10 players, which is simply a big cleanse of Kaiserslautern.

Although it was in line with Frederick's expectations, Yang Cheng had to start worrying about the team's running in.

"It seems that we can only do more work before the season!" Yang Cheng thought.

However, since arriving at the team, Yang Cheng immediately met with Bremer through Frederick. He hoped to have a good talk with the team captain and listen carefully to the captain's ideas.

Today's players are not like a dozen years later, they start to take vacations as soon as the holidays. Now players spend a lot of vacation time at home. Bremer is one of them. He lives near the club and still maintains training while on vacation.

This is why he is still active on the field when he is 36 years old.

When he heard that Yang Cheng had an appointment with him, he immediately agreed to meet him.

…………

…………

The place to meet was very particular. After inquiring about Frederick, Yang Cheng agreed to an Italian restaurant called Isola Bella on Otterbach Avenue next to the Fritz Walter Stadium. Frederick said it was Kai The place where Zeslauten players gather most often, the club's apartment for Yang Cheng is also nearby.

This is a bungalow restaurant. The decoration on the outside is very simple. Except for the wooden sign hanging on the eaves, it is only painted in black and white zebra paint. This is definitely not the eyes of Kaiserslautern. It is a bit dazzling.

When the door was opened, a bell rang immediately.

"Welcome!" A thick male voice sounded beside his ear.

Yang Cheng was almost taken aback, only to find out after entering, that they arranged the counter on the side of the door and saw it as soon as they entered, and behind the counter was a bottle of wine, which looked very expensive.

A middle-aged man with silver hair but deliberately combed into a side split that had been popular for many years stood behind the counter and began to look at him carefully when Yang Cheng came in, perhaps because of his black hair and yellow hair. The skin is so conspicuous, so middle-aged people recognized it at once.

"Are you the new head coach of the team?" The middle-aged man shook his hand and split his hair.

Yang Cheng nodded, "You are ..."

"Tony Vicino, everyone here is called Tony, or Italian!"

Yang Cheng laughed, "Are you Italian?"

"Yes, that's right. If it's a fake replacement, Kaiserslautern will be the only one for me!" He seemed a little proud.

Yang Cheng thought, no wonder he opened an Italian restaurant.

"Do you want a special seat or whatever?" Tony Vickino asked with a smile.

"Is there a difference?" Yang Cheng asked interestingly while standing in front of the counter.

Tony walked out of the counter, greeted Yang Cheng, and walked over and introduced: "Special seats are special seats. Many Kaiserslautern players have exclusive seats here. For example, this position is Bremer. Yes, we are usually called No. 2, this position is Lutz ’s seat, we call it No. 3 ... "

After this series of introductions, Yang Cheng couldn't help but find that the arrangement of these numbers seemed a bit interesting, as if the players' seats were determined based on their status in the club.

"What about No. 1?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Tony Vicino smiled and pointed to a round table by the window in the distance, "There is No. 1!"
