Bump ~ bump ~~

  A thunderous drumbeat sounded above the player tunnel as Yang Cheng led the coaching staff out of the player tunnel, and the drumbeat became even more intense above their heads, especially with the fans cheering loudly, which spread throughout the entire stadium.

  Yang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head to look up, and saw a guy with a face full of paint standing up, directing the Kaiser's drummers in front of him to beat the drums and cheer, especially the shouting voices, which made Yang Cheng feel a surge of green blood.

  "This guy looks familiar, who is he?" Paul also noticed the guy.

  Yang Cheng burst out laughing, "Isn't it just Isolabella's Tovitchino!"

  "It's him!" Paul Maher burst out laughing, this guy used to dislike Kaiserslautern and always claimed to be a Juventus fan, but now he was like the number one die-hard Kaiserslautern fan in the world.

  Yang Chen waved his hand towards Tony on the stands, who raised both hands high, and the fans' cheers changed to "Lose and you're done! Look!"

  The shout scared a lot of people around, then Tovichino burst out laughing, apparently very satisfied with his own prank, especially when he saw the expressions on Yang Cheng and Paul Beyer's faces, great effect!

  Yang Cheng raised his thumb high and walked towards the coach's seat, passing through the stands of Kaiserslautern fans along the way. Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted, and it was clear that this nickname had already deeply entered the hearts of every Kaiserslautern fan. Yang Cheng was their king, the monarch of the Betzenberg!

  Not far from the coach's seat, Bobby Robson also arrived at the scene with his assistants, and Yang Chen happened to be opposite him. And a few years later, that special one, who now looks still young, followed behind Bobby Robson.

  Suddenly, Yang Cheng had a mischievous idea and walked over.

  "Hello, Mr. Robson!" Robson was knighted, which should have been after he returned to the Premier League as a coach. Now, although his reputation is great, he is only respected by others.

  "Hello there, young man!" Bobbi Robson said with a sly smile, extending his hand in an obvious attempt to provoke Yang Cheng.

  Young people are always impulsive, he didn't used to rush onto the field and attack the opposing player for the sake of a player? If you can make him lose his mind in the game with just one sentence, why not?

  But Yang Cheng just smiled after hearing it, then looked at the special one behind Robson and stretched out his hand "Hello, Mr. Mourinho!"

  Mourinho was stunned, and not just him, but also Robson and his assistants were all shocked, because even if Yang Chen knew everyone, it wouldn't be a problem. But how did he know Jose Mourinho?

  He is indeed an outcast!

  Mourinho was surprised, but still proactively stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yang Cheng. However, Yang Cheng came up to him with a nearly enthusiastic attitude, tightly hugged him once, leaned into his ear and whispered: "You should consider coaching in person! With your ability and level, you will become the most special one in the football field!"

  After releasing Muriniu, Yang Cheng smiled and waved at Robson's assistant team, then turned around and left.

  This series of actions has led people to feel that Yang is more valued by Mourinho than by Robson.

  "Jose, do you know him?" Robson was somewhat puzzled and also a bit indignant. "Because Yang Cheng's behavior was simply an insult to him, whether he meant it or not."

  Murini shook his head "No, no acquaintance, first meeting today!"

  Robson nodded, he still valued Mourinho and didn't think Mourinho was making excuses. He just felt that Yang Chen's move seemed to be a counterattack against his previous words.

  "This kid doesn't seem like a pushover either!" Robinson sneered.

  The players of both sides walked into the field one after another, took photos and guessed the side, then lined up in their respective formations. Barcelona, who got the kick-off right, will launch the first attack.

  Yang Cheng still stood as usual at the edge of the court, Zhuo Li, Bao Luo and Tim. Hank was standing beside him.

  "As expected, Robson has sent out his main force!" Paul...Bayer praised.

  Yang Cheng smiled slightly, he had long been prepared for this.

  Bar?a's main formation is 451, the goalkeeper is Baía, the back line is Sergi, Nadiel, Abidal and Ferrer; midfielders are Giovanni on the left, Figo on the right, and in the middle, withdrawn Guardiola, De la Pe?a, and attacking midfielder Enrique, with Ronaldo as the lone striker.

  This Barcelona team's strongest point lies in their midfield, the ability of this team's midfield to organize and create opportunities is absolutely world-class. Guardiola doesn't need to be mentioned, but Luis Enrique is also one of the best players in football today. Incidentally, he was a superstar who defected from Real Madrid last summer, causing a huge stir among fans of both teams and increasing the impact of this season's El Clásico.

  As for Little Buddha Delpe?a, perhaps many fans won't remember him, because after leaving Bar?a, he played for Espanyol, although he was also selected for the national team and was eyed by Real Madrid, but his reputation is not prominent.

  But now, this Barcelona youth midfielder has emerged as a new star alongside Real Madrid's Raúl, both representing the outstanding achievements of their respective teams' youth training systems. De la Pe?a is now firmly established in this talented Barcelona team, demonstrating his exceptional strength.

  As for the back line, it was carefully crafted during the Cruyff era. Nadal was even the uncle of tennis star Nadal, and ironically, his nephew Nadal was a die-hard Real Madrid fan, while Abelardo was also a legendary center-back cherished by countless Bar?a fans.

  Yang Cheng's lineup for this game is 343, the goalkeeper is Reinke, the back line are Bremer, Kostic and Lutz, the three midfielders are N'Dicka, Bellon and Gattuso, the attacking midfielder is Barak, the two wingers are Dernis and Fritz, and the striker is Marshall.

  This is also the main lineup that Kayserispor can come up with this season, and under normal circumstances, Yang Chen uses this lineup to deal with Barcelona, valuing not only its defense but also its offense.

  Among them, on the right road, Fritz was selected over Daisler, mainly because Yang Cheng valued this player's running and defensive ability in the front court, which is related to his tactics in this game; The reason why Marshall was chosen as a center forward instead of Van Nistelrooy is that Marshall's goal efficiency has been more stable this season, while Van Nistelrooy has performed well recently, but Yang Cheng trusts Marshall more at critical moments. After all, this veteran player is more experienced and can calm down the scene better.

  With a whistle from the main referee, both sides of the game began this highly anticipated final.

  As the game started, Gatuzo retreated immediately and focused on Louis Enrique wearing No. 21 jersey, while Bellon also formed a triangular defensive formation with Gatuzo and Barak who retreated to midfield.

  The left route's N'Divid is the opponent's defender of Barca's right route's Fjellsted Nielsen, Marshall and Fritz's position is pressed very high, almost all stuck to Barca's defense line, along with it, the back defense line also followed the front pressure.

  Guardiola was harassed by Barak, and in front of him, the midfielder of Kaiserlautern had already formed a defensive formation. Seeing no opportunity, he immediately chose to pass back, but Abellado immediately transferred the ball because Marshall was also lurking beside him.

  As the ball returns to Bar?a's backcourt, Fritz immediately presses up and collaborates with Marshall and Dennison to harass Bar?a's defense line, launching an active front-court press.

  Bar?a's ball control is indeed excellent, although they encountered pressing. Although Kaiserslautern's defense was very solid, their passing did not make mistakes. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the ball was always in Bar?a's backline and Guardiola's area, where Kaiserslautern's defense was more harassing in nature.

  The scene slowly opened, and after several times of passing the ball back to the defense, Barcelona again sent the ball to Guardiola's feet. As soon as he got the ball, Barak immediately stuck to him, blocking his position, but Guardiola took a few steps sideways, finding an opportunity to send the ball forward.

  Deulofeu didn't stop the ball and went straight forward, Luis Enrique also felt the pressure from the backcourt, wanting to retreat and take the ball, but just as he was about to receive Guardiola's pass, Gatusso made a diagonal run and intercepted the ball before him.

  Although the ball fell under Figo's feet on the right road at sunset, Yang Cheng still applauded a few times on the sidelines.

  "Ivan's defensive awareness has improved a lot!" Paul, Bayer also praised with a smile.

  Yang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart. That was natural. He had invested a lot of money on Gatuso, and if the Italian didn't make progress, then he would truly lose everything.

  Figueredo on the right hurriedly passed the ball to the middle road under the interference of Nedved, but Bremens, who retreated in time, cleared the ball with a big foot, and Ronaldo rushed behind him in vain.

  The ball reached the front court, and Barak back to the goal with his body holding position, knocked the ball back to Bellon in front of him. The white wizard followed suit with a diagonal long pass, and Denilson flew quickly to the baseline, finally stopping the ball before Ferrell, making a beautiful fake move, pretending to stop and turn around, but he actually continued along the baseline, directly passing Ferrell.

  At the moment when Deyverson overtook Ferreira, Yang Chen's fans in the stands behind him suddenly burst into cheers.

  But De Nielson's cross was headed wide by Marshall under pressure from Nadal.

  This is also the first shot of both sides in this game!

  "Well done!" Yang Cheng applauded vigorously on the sidelines, praising the players on the field, especially Denilson who was running back and forth.

  Paul, Byler made a pass to Dnielsen in the fog, he thought this game was over, but it turned out to be a shot wide, somewhat disappointed, but he still had an excited face.

  "Your tactics have paid off!" Paul shouted loudly in Bayer's direction.

  Yang Cheng nodded confidently, finding his assistant's loss of composure amusing, but as the match went on, he became increasingly aware that his tactics were indeed effective.

  Many people's understanding of this period has deviated, thinking that Barcelona's core player at the time was Guardiola, but in fact it is not. The reason is simple: "At that time, Barca had two cores, one was the attacking heart in the frontcourt and the other was the organizational core in the backcourt."

  It's easy to understand because the later Milan was also advocating this tactic, with Pirlo organizing behind and Kaka commanding the offense in front, and the two men cooperating very clearly.

  "Guardiola's position is more backward", he is the core of a trailing organization, his passing ability is excellent, but in fact, most of his passes are to the two side roads, and there is no direct long pass to the front court, because the success rate is too low. In other words, Guardiola rarely directly participates in the frontcourt offense, he generally just combs the midfield and protects the back defense line.

  In this tactical system of Barca, the ones who really play a key role in the attack are Luis Enrique, Figo and Giovanni, especially Luis Enrique, who with his passes from behind and through balls, helps Ronaldo time and again to break down the opponent's defensive line and score goals.

  Although Barcelona uses Bobby Robson to replace Cruyff, it can actually be said that this season Barcelona can play out such a wonderful attacking football, the legacy of Cruyff is playing a crucial role, and Bobby Robson is just making some adjustments to Cruyff's tactics.

  Bakero was the attacking core of Cruyff's team in the past, his activity area is similar to that of a second striker, echoing Guardiola's regista, mainly playing the last pass in front of the penalty area. However, in the later period of Cruyff's coaching, on the one hand because Bakero was getting older, and on the other hand because opponents had become accustomed to this tactic and found ways to counter it, so Cruyff's tactics were no longer effective.

  And a very important aspect of containing Barcelona's attack is cutting off the connection between the front waist and the back waist!

  Bobby Robson was an excellent coach, he was well aware of this and made up for it, so Drapena appeared, who served as a link between the front and back waist, that is, running connections and passing between Guardiola and Luis Enrique, logically, Bar?a's tactics changed from 0 to 5.

  Guardiola's position is more backward, so Barcelona's overall formation is more backward than other teams. Ronaldo has a lot of space to play in the front, his speed, technology and personal ability are fully demonstrated, and on the wing, Figo and Giovanni are also the same.

  This is where Barca's midfield has been truly strong this season!

  And like the 2010 Barcelona at its peak, this current Barcelona team still emphasizes control.

  Real Madrid lost 2-0 to Barcelona at home this season, Capello attributed it to two reasons: one is that Barcelona's coordination was not good enough, and the other is that Real Madrid had a Redondo who was in his prime, able to implement Capello's midfield tactics of control and pressure simultaneously. This powerful controlling midfielder made it possible for even at Camp Nou, Barcelona could only rely on penalty shootout to defeat Real Madrid.

  However, the current Kaiser is not working, and although Bellon is excellent, he can't reach Redondo's level, so Yang Cheng can only think of ways to suppress him. But he has something that Capello and Bobby Robson don't have - more than a decade of football knowledge.

  Although Yang Chen has always believed that the technical skills of football stars are fading, but the tactics of football are constantly strengthening, so the role of the head coach will become more and more obvious.

  He continued to strengthen his physical fitness and attack and defense in this game, and another great move was his use of Gatuzo!

  Gattuso is absolutely a player who exists solely for the sake of destruction, his tireless running and tenacious style, combined with his all-out commitment to the game, enable him to almost perfectly execute the tasks assigned to him by Ranieri before each match.

  He almost never participates in the offense, he is always thinking about how to destroy, how to defend, and even how to cut off the connection between the opponent's players, he is a thorough defender and destroyer.

  Such a player has not appeared in today's football, because neither Rondon nor Guardiola is an absolute defender in the midfield of today's football, even Davis and Emerson who emerged later are all versatile players.

  But the existence of Gatusso is to destroy, wholeheartedly destroy, who can imagine that in the Barcelona midfield known for its control and passing coordination, a ruthless destroyer has emerged, how terrible will the destructive power be!

  As the game went on, Luis Enrique, Guardiola and Del Bosque must have wanted to go crazy when they found themselves facing a player like Gatusso, who always seemed to appear at crucial moments, disrupting their passing or receiving.

  But Yang Cheng's defensive tactics are not just that, because simply letting Gatuso go is not enough.

  Kaiserslautern's offense and defense have always been known for their integrity, with defensive players actively participating in the attack and attacking players immediately participating in the defense. Therefore, in Kaiserslautern's games, scenes like the one just now where Ferrell was easily passed by Danielsen while Figo waited idly on the front court for his teammates to pass the ball will never appear.

  Gattuso's strengths and weaknesses are very clear, his sense of position is not good, his characteristic is to rush forward, easy to lose position, so Yang Cheng never dares to arrange him in the back waist position, but when arranging defensive system, use team's overall defense coordination to fill Gattuso's defects, and try to play his strengths as much as possible, that is to let Nedved, Beron, even the retreating Ballack and Frings, all surround Gattuso to run and organize defense.

  A madman-like guy, running around and destroying everywhere. If he is restricted, his effect and power will be greatly reduced. If relying on him, the defense system will easily collapse. So Yang Cheng let other players surround him and run with him, no matter where he ran to, Kaiserslautern's defensive formation followed suit.

  In this way, Kaiserslautern's defense seems chaotic, but it is actually well-organized.

  That's why Gatuso's performance is getting better and better!

  While Gatusso performed well, Kaiserslautern's midfield also benefited from it, and in the game, Barcelona's midfield was clearly frozen, especially the connection between Guardiola and Luis Enrique, which was completely cut off. Enrique had very few touches throughout the game, and every time he got the ball, he was rushed and couldn't play a good pass.

  In addition, Yang Cheng also set up a trap for Ronaldo, and even Bobby Robson!
