The night before the training camp, many old players in the team gathered at Bremer's home in a high-end district of Kaiserslautern. Everyone looked upset because just that afternoon, everyone had received a notice.

  "Speak up, Andres," Lutz bellowed, "does this count as a warning shot?"

  Braemer was the team captain, sitting in the middle of the crowd, saying nothing, just quietly listening.

  "I think he just wants to use this trick to intimidate us, if we give in, then it will be easier for him to manage us later, on the other hand, if we violate the rules, he can take the opportunity to punish us!" Korsch was also furious.

  These four or five old players all looked very unhappy and were not convinced by the new head coach Yang Cheng, and as they spoke, their anger grew.

  "Shall we all just ignore him tomorrow and stick to the usual schedule, what do you think?" Rutze asked, taking the lead.

  Everyone was suddenly moved.

  "What do you think, Andres?" Lutz turned his head to ask the silently brooding Bremer.

  The latter just glanced at this group of colleagues who had worked together for many years, shook his head and sighed.

  "What's going on?" Lutz asked with concern.

  Braemer shook his head and smiled wryly, "I suddenly feel that our hopes for promotion this season are very slim!"

  Everyone listened and suddenly fell silent.

  They stayed in Kaiserslautern hoping to see the team return to the Bundesliga, and before that they were all very confident, but now hearing Bremen say this, they are all worried.

  "It's all because of that 24-year-old bastard, he doesn't have any experience at all, he's not even qualified to coach Kaiserslautern!" Kosch yelled with a furious face.

  Others also followed suit, looking at their momentum, if possible, they would even use the method of sending troops to advise the club to replace the head coach.

  But Bremer shook his head after listening and stood up, "Do you know what Frederick told me a few days ago?"

  From his tone, he directly called Frederick's name, without a bit of respect for the chairman, but the people around him were used to it.

  "He didn't trust Yang Cheng at all, so he arranged for Melzer to be the team's technical advisor. At the same time, he told me that I must always be prepared and ready to take over as head coach if Yang Cheng doesn't perform well." After finishing speaking, Bremer spread his hands out and looked at his teammates with an expression that seemed to ask, "What's going on here?"

  "I asked him at the time, if he had no confidence in Yang Cheng, why did he choose him in the first place?" Bremer also got excited, "Frederick didn't answer directly, just told me to focus on my own affairs."

  "Do you know what I was thinking when I walked out of his office?" Bremer asked his teammates. "I thought, 'Here we go again, this bunch of idiots is starting to interfere with the team again, they all think they know football, but in reality, they only know how to make a profit from the club, it's always been like that and still is, even if the team gets relegated to the 2nd division, they don't regret anything!"

  Bremen's words left all the players present speechless, they have been in this team for many years and naturally know why Kaiserslautern suddenly became a relegated team from a strong team in Bundesliga.

  "Why am I so pessimistic? Because I found out that, apart from the board of directors, our players have also started to overstep their bounds. How is it that when they see someone who's only 24 years old, all of you think you can take on the role of head coach?"

  Braemer's question, none of the players dared to answer, he was the big boss in the team.

  "Yang Chen arranged to talk to me on the first day he came to the team, I really think what he said made sense, although he didn't know about Kaiserslautern's troubles, but one thing he said was right, that is we and him are all on the same boat of Kaiserslautern, this is an unchangeable fact!"

  "If we can work together with him in the same direction, this ship of Kaiserslautern will undoubtedly run very fast. But if we are moving in opposite directions, then this ship will never have a peaceful day, let alone move forward, it will even retreat, and when that happens, the one who suffers the most damage is not the club?"

  Braemer swept his gaze over the silent teammates in front of him, let out a sigh, "In short, I personally have decided to cooperate with Yang Cheng. This isn't because I'm afraid of him, but because he's the team's head coach! As for the rest of you, you can figure it out yourselves!"

  Having said that, Bremmer picked up his own notice on the table and left the living room.

  This notice records Yang Cheng's series of disciplinary requirements for the team, including disciplinary requirements in aspects such as locker rooms, training grounds and stadiums, as well as training arrangements for players.

  Among them, the most controversial one is undoubtedly the pre-season warm-up, Yang Cheng used three practices a day.

  The team gathers at 6:30 in the morning, has breakfast together at 7 o'clock, and starts the first training session at 8 o'clock. It's all about endurance reserve training, such as shuttle runs, and the whole training lasts for 90 minutes.

  After a rest, at 11 o'clock, they began to conduct more intense training with the ball and games such as "dodge the monkey", maintaining it for 90 minutes. Then after a rest, they had lunch together at 1:30 pm; After a two-hour nap, players can continue to rest until 6:30 in the afternoon when they will have their third training session, all of which are confrontational matches and tactical drills.

  After the training session, Yang Cheng hoped to hold the team's first tactical discussion class on the first day, which was scheduled after dinner, and this would also be his first time to analyze his tactical arrangement for all players.

  After a whole day of training, all the players have to eat at the training base, and they also live together. This is the first time for Kaiserslautern's players, and it's also the first time that the team has undergone such intense training right after their vacation.

  The three-day training will last for 10 days, and Yang Cheng wants to shape the team into a fledgling form within these 10 days. Then, they will play four warm-up matches against teams near Kaiserslautern, followed by the first match of the new season on August 3 in Mannheim's German Super Cup, with last season's Bundesliga champion Dortmund as their opponent.

  For Kaiserslautern, who are currently stuck in the 2nd Bundesliga, Dortmund is so strong that no one thinks Kaiserslautern has a chance of winning.

  This is what they call "opening the door to darkness"!

  "Can you really lead the team well?" Bremer couldn't help but feel anxious whenever he thought of this match.

  To be honest, Bremmer didn't have much confidence in Yang Cheng either.
