"Football is just like this sometimes!"

  At the press conference at Fritz-Walter-Stadion, when a reporter asked Yang Chen if he felt that this game was not challenging enough, as Bayern suffered a crushing defeat, Yang Chen smiled and replied.

  "The 3-0 scoreline was indeed unexpected, but I don't think it reflects the gap between the two teams. I also don't think that our team's strength is far superior to Bayern's. We were actually inferior in terms of strength, but we won this match, and that's the charm of football!"

  Yang Chen's words made it hard for people to tell whether he was praising himself or belittling Bayern, but what can't be denied is that Trapattoni, who was in high spirits after winning 3 days ago, now sat beside Yang Chen with a gloomy face, as dark as the outside sky, not making a sound, looking like he might explode at any moment.

  "From the 2-1 defeat by Bayern three days ago to today's 3-0 victory, has something happened in between? How did you adjust the team's morale and state? Do you have any secrets?" a reporter asked.

  Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, there has never been a shortcut on the football field, nor is there anything that can be achieved overnight. So before the game, I told my players that if we want to win the game, then we must work harder than our opponents!"

  Yang Cheng paused for a moment, "If you ask me why we won the game, I can tell you that it's because we are more eager to win than Bayern's players, and all other Bundesliga teams. We have an insatiable hunger for the championship, we yearn for honor and recognition from everyone!"

  The reporters on the scene were stunned at first, but soon understood what Yang Cheng meant.

  Indeed, each of Kaiserslautern's players has excellent strength. Bellon, Ballack, Vanni, Nedved, and Denilson, etc., any one of them can stand out in any top European league team.

  This team is young and vibrant, full of upward momentum and vigor. With sufficient strength, they are more eager to win the championship and honor than anyone else!

  In contrast, Bayern's players have experienced much more glory, whether it was last season's league title or their achievements with the national team, which is enough to make them less motivated, such as Matth?us and H??ler.

  Yang Chen's words directly hit Bayern's weakness, that is, there are many big-name stars in the team who have long lost their pursuit of honor and their thirst for championships.

  Let's take Hail as an example, the European champion of the national team, three Bundesliga championship trophies, one UEFA Cup championship, and another Bundesliga championship is just a bonus for him. Can he be as persistent as Haiko, Haiker, and Ha Lucio, and even willing to give up everything for this?

  Trapatonni and the top management of Bayern are very clear about this, so Fink, Lizarazu and other players have come to Bayern one after another, while Klinsmann and others will leave one after another. The purpose is to cultivate a team that is full of desire for championship and honor again.

  "So, when did you realize your team could win this game?" another reporter asked.

  Yang Cheng still smiled, "From the moment we stepped onto the field!"

  Many times, a football match's outcome is actually determined from the moment they step onto the field.

  Kaiserslautern went all out in the second half, but Bayern Munich still wanted to play a stable and defensive counterattack. From tactics, morale, or even the desire for victory, Kaiserslautern was more dominant than their opponents. So how could they not win this game?

  "But some Bayern players also complained that Gattuso, who was voted the best player in this match, played very dirty!" A reporter seemed to agree with the Bayern players and chuckled.

  Yang Cheng also followed Ha and laughed. However, his expression seemed to reveal a sneer at the ignorance of the reporter.

  "Dirty? This is the most ridiculous term I've ever heard, especially when it's applied to my players. We committed only 7 fouls in the entire game, while Bayern had 18, more than twice as many as us. They got 4 yellow cards, we got 1, but not Gattuso. That's what they call dirty?"

  Yang Chen was apparently outraged that his love would be deliberately misrepresented by outsiders, so he took the initiative to clarify with Gattuso.

  "Modern football emphasizes rhythm and efficiency. In my opinion, tight defense is just one of the defensive means. But disrupting the opponent's attacking rhythm has a more significant effect. So there is Gatusso, he is absolutely the player who best fits the current trend of football defense. He is a player who exists solely to disrupt the opponent's attacking rhythm."

  "But has he committed many fouls? Are his foul actions serious? Has he ever injured anyone?"

  "Football is war nowadays and I will ask my players to fight until the last second on the pitch before the referee blows the final whistle.Gattuso is one of the most aggressive players, he always keeps his fighting spirit and at the same time, he's a very clean player, you rarely see him making dirty tackles."

  The reporter was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to respond to Yang Cheng's words.

  "I know the whole world likes to watch Pelé play football, but we must see that in the history of football, there is only one Pelé, and countless people will never be able to become Pelé for their entire lives, just like Gattuso!"

  "But then the 11 Bellis got on to the pitch and it was impossible to win, so we need Gatusso, we need Berloni, we need Nedved, we need Ballack, we need Keirr, we need Reinkemeier, we need every single player in the team."

  "They may never become Pele, but they don't need to be Pele either, because they can interpret their own style of playing football in their own area of responsibility and make it shine, so they are the Pele of that position, who says not?"

  Yang Cheng's extremely provocative opening of his arms asked every reporter present, and everyone sitting opposite him was left speechless by his questioning, because none of them were professional enough for Yang Cheng, not authoritative enough, and didn't even have his prestige.

  The whole of German football was shaken when Kaiserslautern defeated Bayern Munich with an overwhelming 3:0.

  Bild led the way with this sensationalist headline to express their amazement at Kaiserslautern, especially the strong attacking power they showed against Bayern.

  "There is no doubt that the current Bayern team is a publicly recognized extremely strong team, but last night, at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, this publicly recognized strongest Bundesliga team lost in an unbelievable way."

  "Bayer has not had a match where they lost 3 goals, but to lose three games in a row to the same team and in such an embarrassing and difficult way is something that Bayern has never experienced in recent years!"

  "No one believed that this Bayern could leave the Fritz-Walter-Stadion smoothly before Kaiserslautern scored a goal. They fell into the abyss of defeat from the first minute of the game, and Gattuso's iron tree-like goal only confirmed this fact!"

  "Trapattoni's conservative style was on full display in this match, with big wins against Hertha Berlin, Duisburg and Wolfsburg, as well as the 5-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage, proving that Bayern is a powerhouse that values attacking football!"

  But on this afternoon at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, all illusions about Bayern's attacking football were shattered to pieces, and all discussions about Trapattoni also being able to play attractive attacking football can come to an end, because the Italian is still at heart a proponent of his beloved Catenaccio!

  However, if Trapatonni could have brought his team's attacking play to its limits, they wouldn't have lost so badly. The key is that he wants to win in a steady manner while also creating the illusion of an aggressive offense. So when faced with Kaiserslautern's almost defenseless individual attacks, he was caught off guard and couldn't believe it!

  "Just this one game, Yang Cheng has explained why he was elected as the best coach in Europe last season. He surprised all football fans around the world with just this one game and also booked his award for the best coach of the Bundesliga this season ahead of time, because he achieved what no other team dared to dream of - a double kill against Bayern Munich!"

  "A 7-point gap, 16 rounds of the league, everything seems to be still far away, but this game has already announced that the championship battle is heating up. Kaiserslautern undoubtedly occupies an absolute advantage on the road to winning the title, whether it's in the standings or in morale, even in player state!"

  "Now, there are only two thresholds left in front of Kaiserslautern. First, can they continue to maintain their current momentum and state after the winter break? Second, can they avoid other teams poaching their star players during the winter break, especially Bayern!"

  Bayern poached the star players from their rival teams to strengthen themselves and weaken their opponents, this tactic has been well-known for a long time. This summer, there were rumors that Bayern would sign 5 big stars from Dortmund and Heissfeld, but it didn't happen in the end.

  If Bayern Munich make a move during the winter break, there is no doubt that Leroy Sane will be the biggest player on the market.

  In 18 rounds, 17 goals were scored by Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy; Swedish striker Henrik Larsson scored 13 goals; Michael Ballack scored 11 goals.

  Apart from the three players with the strongest attacking ability, there are also Brazilian winger Denilson, midfielder Bellon, Czech iron man Nedved, right-back Schneider, and talented centre-back Kehl. Additionally, there are many other players such as Deisler, Deco, Salihovic, Lucio, and Freins, all of whom are newcomers to the Bundesliga this season but have already shown impressive strength.

  If all these players are pushed into the transfer market, it will undoubtedly detonate the Bundesliga's transfer market. Bayern will not miss any opportunity to strengthen itself.

  Apart from Bild, all major German media such as kicker.de focused on this match and believed that Bayern's defeat would add more thorns and difficulties to the team's road to winning the championship.

  For the praise from outside, Yang Cheng had no time to dwell on it, because he was being pressed by Gattuso.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The door of the dressing room was heavily knocked on.

  "Head, get dressed quickly, haven't you?" Gatsby's voice rang out loudly in the corridor, sounding extremely anxious.

  "Hurry up and wait! You're in such a rush even when getting dressed!" Yang Cheng scolded from inside.

  Gatuso paced back and forth outside, not yet 30. He walked to the door and knocked. "Boss, what's going on? Are you okay or not? Don't keep people waiting!

  "Who's been waiting for a long time?" Not far from the corridor, Barack and others who were about to leave the training building suddenly stopped with a smile.

  "Nothing... nothing, aren't you going home? Hurry up and go!" Gattuso waved his hands vigorously.

  He dare not let these people know what he is going to do, or else it will probably be ruined.

  "Huh? Good heavens, Ivan! You're wearing a suit?" Barack's eyes were sharp and he noticed it right away.

  "Are you sure?" Kael and others were extremely surprised.

  Look over here, and suddenly everyone was like Columbus discovering a new continent, "My god, Ivan, you're actually wearing a suit?"

  "Wait, it seems like Armani after all!"

  "Wow, you've shaved off your year-long sideburns!" "Ivan, you're all powdered up like this. Where are you going?"

  Everyone asked me one by one, and I answered one by one. With many people talking at the same time, the whole corridor suddenly became lively.

  "No, nothing's wrong, you guys go home, mind your own business!" Gatuso waved his hand somewhat impatiently.

  "This wild monkey naturally wouldn't be so willing to admit defeat, and they all started teasing Gatuso, until Yang Cheng walked out of the locker room, 'Huh, you're all still here? What's going on?'"

  "Oh, nothing, boss!" Barack replied immediately, but his eyes were slyly sizing up Yang Cheng, as if trying to figure out what was going on between his boss and Gattuso.

  "It's better if there isn't, let's all go back, I have something with Ivan!" Yang Cheng nodded slightly.

  Barak received the order to withdraw and immediately called on his teammates to leave one by one.

  After they all left, Yang Cheng and Gattuso slowly walked out of the training building.

  "Hey, you're going out like that?" Gatuso frowned, pointing at Yang Cheng's training suit, which compared to his own formal western-style suit, was a huge difference.

  "Otherwise, what did you think? Dressed so well, I'm afraid of being overshadowed by you!" Yang Cheng said with a very experienced and condescending attitude.

  Gatuso was stunned by him and couldn't help but nod his head, "That's right, but isn't this a bit too casual?"

  Yang Cheng laughed and scolded, "Do you want to drive?"

  He is now also a car owner, Audi gave him an A3, and the club also arranged for an Audi to be given to him.

  "Drive, from here to Isola Bella is not far, but, you know, do you think it would be better to drive there?" Gattuso had no expression at all, he had to ask about everything.

  Yang Cheng thought for a moment, "Then let's just walk, it's such a short distance and driving would make people think we're nouveau riche. Let's be more low-key and leave a good impression on others!"

  Gatuso listened and suddenly agreed greatly, "That's right, boss, I'll listen to you!"

  Two strange guys, one wearing an Armani suit and the other a Nike sports jersey with Japanese characters, just walked out of Tübingen.

  Before long, the two walked down the hill and through a ravine to arrive at Otterbach Gorge, where they found Isolabella with ease.

  "Hey, wait a minute, you go ahead!" Gatuso looked like he was about to arrive at the destination, and from the side, he pulled Yang Cheng's clothes.

  "What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Yang Cheng himself was also uncertain, but still put on a brave face.

  He had heard Gattuso mention the whole process of getting to know Monica, and as a result, Monica was in Italy talking, and Gattuso met her by chance, and then went after her, which made the girl's parents furious and said they would come over to settle accounts with him.

  It was Yang Cheng's first time attending a dinner party and meeting his girlfriend's father.

  Gatuso, this fierce man, actually revealed a timid look, as if he had placed all his hopes on Yang Cheng. His gaze at Yang Cheng seemed to be saying, "My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you."

  Yang Cheng almost slapped this scoundrel to death, but thinking about it, he was his superior after all, and no matter what, he had to take responsibility for him.

  "Others are head coaches, I am also a head coach, and I still have to work as a matchmaker on the side!", Yang Cheng cursed in his heart.

  But Isolabella was right in front of him, and soon approached. Yang Cheng had to go up with a stiff upper lip, but in his heart he cursed the scoundrel Gattuso who had seduced someone else's daughter and caused trouble for his father-in-law.

  Just as Yang Cheng had just pushed open the door and entered, a loud shout came from inside.

  "I've got a knife ready, sharpened to perfection. Just wait and see how I'll slice the meat into thin pieces, then roast it over the fire and devour it! No one can stop me!" As he finished speaking, the sound of a cleaver chopping down onto the cutting board echoed out.

  This suddenly made Gattuso feel a bit embarrassed.

  "What the hell are you, have you given someone's daughter to that guy?" Yang Cheng hastily grabbed Gatuso and asked.

  The latter shook his head vigorously, "Good grief, you still don't understand me, would I be such a casual person?"

  Yang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Gatuso is indeed a typical sulky gourd."

  "Never mind, Ivan, we... Ah, yes, we should go buy a gift!" Yang Cheng thought for a moment, now is not the right time to go in, better wait a bit longer, at least until that old man's temper cools down a bit.

  At this moment, he thought of what he had seen in a TV series before, where the daughter was seduced and lost interest in studying, and finally her father killed her lover with a knife. He couldn't let such a tragedy happen.

  Just as Yang Cheng and the others were about to turn around and leave, that damned waiter from Isola Bella pushed open the door and came out.

  "Oh, Mr. Yang Cheng, Mr. Gattuso, you've arrived!"
