Unfortunately, Trapattoni's team did not meet all Kaiserslautern people's wishes.
Although Bayern under Italian coaches have this and that shortcomings, it is undeniable that this team will never give up prematurely at critical moments, they have the dignity and pride of a giant!
Bayern Munich won 2-1 at home against Leverkusen with Elber scoring the winner in the 63rd minute.
It is said that during the time from Elber's goal to Deisler's goal, Bayern heard that Kaiserslautern was tied 2-2 by Borussia Monchengladbach at home, and everyone was excited because it meant that their point difference with Kaiserslautern narrowed to 3 points.
From 9th place before to 3rd place now, they undoubtedly saw the dawn of a great reversal in the season!
But when the game was over and they heard that Daisler had won with a direct free kick in the 87th minute, everyone seemed to be petrified, thoroughly stunned.
Trapattoni suddenly sat down on the soft chair in the locker room, and he seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant. He looked worried and couldn't get up for a long time, because he knew that this season's championship was hopeless.
Sometimes whether a team can win the championship depends not only on points, but also on morale.
The outcome of the 32nd round is not just about the 2 points, but also a momentum that can support the players to continue fighting!
If Kaiserslautern doesn't win against M?nchengladbach, from the original 9-point lead suddenly shortened to 3 points, the team's morale will collapse in an instant, and there will definitely be mistakes in the last two rounds, then Bayern will have a chance.
However, Kaiserslautern took down M?nchengladbach and the object of disappointment became Bayern.
A 5-point gap in two games is undoubtedly a dead end for Bayern.
If he weren't Bayern's coach, Trapattoni could even claim that Kaiserslautern had already won the championship!
This makes him feel regretful, disappointed and worried, because he is clear in his heart that after the end of this season, it will be time for him to leave Bayern.
No league championship, no European Cup championship, even if he finally won the German Cup championship, he still can't continue to stay on the main coach seat of Olympiastadion.
Starting from tomorrow, the whole Germany and even the global football world will begin to hype up Kaiserslautern's genius head coach, speculating whether he will take over Olympiastadion or Hollywood of Green!
As for Trapattoni, who still cares about him?
Yang Chen and the players were a little sad when they heard that Bayern won against Leverkusen, but Yang Chen quickly adjusted the players' mentality and morale, making them better prepared for the 33rd round of the league in a week.
"As long as we win the next two rounds of the league, the final victory will still be ours!" Yang Cheng said with a proud smile.
As expected, the players suddenly came out of their disappointment after hearing the head coach's words.
A week later, Kaiserslautern's main force came out and welcomed the promoted Wolfsburg at home.
Although this promotion horse brother team is determined to relegation, Kaiserslautern also aims to win the championship. Yang Cheng's team wielded a bloodthirsty butcher knife without mercy, especially against Kaiserslautern's old generals Wagner and Grenier. Kaiserslautern used their outstanding performance to make them understand why Yang Cheng was willing to let them go in the first place!
A 6:0 victory that made Kaiserslautern the true league champion!
In fact, the German Football Association had secretly sent the trophy representing the league championship to Kaiserslautern before the match, so after the match ended, a simple awards ceremony was held on site immediately.
But below the stage, there was a small dispute among the players of Kaiserslautern.
"Andreas!" Barack ended the celebration with his teammates and fans, got rid of the entanglement of reporters, walked to the front of the coach's bench, found a smiling Bremer, then took off the captain's armband on his arm and handed it over to Bremer.
"Wait a minute and you'll be representing our team to receive the award!"
Braemer's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly shook his head, "Never mind, you guys go ahead!"
This season, Bremen has appeared more as a locker room leader and Yang Chen's assistant in the team. Except for the Super Cup and some relatively minor matches, he didn't play any games at all. His appearances this season are only 8 times, most of which were substitutes.
Many of the appearances were Yang Chen seeing Bramer's itchy feet, asking him if he wanted to go up and kick for a few minutes, then arranging for him to enter the substitute list, until the team won, he would put Bramer on the field, letting him play for a while.
So in Bremen's heart, this league championship has nothing to do with him this season, it is the credit of Barak and others!
"We've all discussed it, you go!" Barack stubbornly stuffed the captain's armband into Bremer's hand.
Braemer was also stubborn and directly grabbed Barack who wanted to walk away, "Take it back, Mai!"
The two of them started arguing on the sidelines, attracting a lot of media attention. People who didn't know what was going on thought they were fighting over the team captain's armband, and the media all rushed to take photos and videos as evidence.
"Alright, you two!" Yang Cheng was also drawn over and walked over to shout a halt.
Yang Chenyi appeared, and the two of them didn't dare to entangle again. However, Barrack threw the captain's armband to Bremmer, while Bremmer threw it back to Barrack, making the whole scene very interesting.
"Hey, guys, take a look at this. Doesn't it seem like two little kids fighting over something?" Yang Cheng asked with a chuckle.
The players around Kaiserslautern burst out laughing, making Bremer and Ballack both very embarrassed, but still no one was willing to take the captain's armband.
"How about I be the judge?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
After winning the championship, everyone's mood was great and they all cheered loudly.
"Alright, it seems you all trust me!" Yang Cheng smiled slightly as he walked over, took the captain's armband from Balak and handed it heavily to Bremer.
"Head...this..." Bremer was getting a bit excited.
Yang Cheng stopped him from continuing, then said seriously: "Andres, I told you at the beginning of this season that your role in our team is not only reflected on the field, but also in the locker room and every aspect. If you think that since you haven't played many games this season, you're inferior and don't deserve to wear the captain's armband, it won't just be me who gets angry, I believe all of our players will get angry!"
The players nodded in unison after hearing Yang Cheng's words, even Barak was.
"This season's championship, every player in our team is very important and indispensable. Although you are close to retirement, but in the captain list of our team, you are still ranked first, as the first captain of the team. So this is a league championship that belongs to you, belongs to every Kaiserslautern person!"
Yang Cheng patted Bremmer's shoulder heavily, and the latter was already deeply moved.
"I also want to take this opportunity to thank you, my teammates. You are the best and most outstanding players under the sky, and you are the greatest contributors to our arrival today. However, I hope you understand that this is just a beginning!"
The players nodded one by one, unanimously expressing their agreement with Yang Cheng's words.
"We have won the Bundesliga title this season, and as a promoted team, we have made history. But don't forget, in 11 days, Stockholm, Sweden, we will create another miracle!"
The players were one by one stirred up by Yang Cheng's passionate speech, and they all became emotionally excited.
"But is that enough?" Yang Cheng suddenly asked back, and then he himself shook his head, "No, it's not enough. Because next season we will be participating in the European Champions Cup, which is the pinnacle of professional leagues, that is the supreme honor. We must continue to strive for it, work hard for it, because I always believe that we have the strength to compete for the European Champions Cup, as long as we are willing to work hard!"
Joking, with the current strength of this Kaizer Chiefs team, plus Yang Chen's coaching ability, they have all been integrated into a whole, using such a luxurious lineup to play in the Champions League, Yang Chen said he had no idea that was absolutely deceiving.
Of course, this does not mean that Yang Cheng thinks the team can win the championship, these words are just to boost morale.
There are many stars in the team, but that's from a future perspective. The current Kaiserslautern lineup is very strong, with midfield and forwards being among the best, but the team is still very young and inexperienced, with an average age that is the lowest in the Bundesliga, lacking a bit of experience.
Yang Chen can even say that if the head coach of this team was not him, and if the tactics of this team were not centered around the overall situation, it would be impossible to get to where they are today.
The benefits of overall tactics are to minimize the impact of players' poor performance, so Kaiserslautern's performance this season has been relatively stable, with some small fluctuations but no major ups and downs.
When Van Nistelrooy didn't score, Larsson and Klose did; when Veron was injured, Deco filled the gap for Argentina in a regular manner; when Kocsis was absent, Lucio and Luis?Huth supplemented the position well, ensuring the perfection and integrity of the back line.
It's because this is a cohesive team rather than relying on just one player!
De Colo, Teodosic, Lucio, Clyburn and others are far from reaching their peak, even players like Barak, Nedovic, Vanjie and Bellon are still progressing and maturing, so it's absolutely impossible to evaluate this team with the perspective of later generations, because they are still very young.
To put it another way, if Deco had the strength and stability he showed in Porto and Barcelona later in his career, would he have been willing to be a substitute player?
The same logic can be applied to many people!
Yang Chen has always been very clear that the current team is very strong, because they are all later stars, but not necessarily have an absolute advantage to defeat those European top teams, because they are young and lack of major tournament experience.
But Yang Cheng is also very much looking forward to it, as soon as he thinks that the team he leads will be entering the European Champions Cup next season, he feels his blood boiling, and he bursts out with an endless passion, he dreams of going all out in a real battle with those top European teams, with those world-renowned coaches.
The award ceremony was very simple and compact.
When Bremer wore the captain's armband, led his teammates to the podium and took down that sand table representing the Bundesliga championship, countless fans on the scene went crazy.
Almost all the fans who came to the Fritz-Walter-Stadion today, rushed to this championship sand table. When they saw Bremen holding up the championship sand table, they all cheered and celebrated wildly, and even many old fans couldn't help but cry with joy.
Two years ago, at this time, they witnessed Kaiserslautern's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga with their own eyes, and they almost collapsed, even doubting whether Kaiserslautern would ever rise again?
However, two years later today, they witnessed the brilliance of Kaiserslautern, a team that not only returned to the Bundesliga as quadruple champions but also won the Bundesliga title as a promoted team, which is a great miracle in German football history, a legend.
Anyone who has experienced the relegation two years ago will be proud of today's Kaiserslautern achievement!
Wagner and Grenna stayed especially to witness Kaiserslautern's trophy presentation, then walked over to give an excited and emotional Yang a congratulatory hug.
Although they are no longer players of Kaiserslautern, this game is even more so as opponents to come to Fritz-Walter-Stadion, but they still feel proud and honored for the team they used to play for, especially when thinking that they used to play under Yang Chen's leadership.
"Caesar! Caesar!! Caesar!!!’
From the initial scattered applause to the final unanimous cheers, it evolved into a collective roar of the entire Fritz-Walter-Stadion, with over 30,000 Kaiserslautern fans shouting out "Kaiser" and cheering for their Kaiser!
Yang Cheng stood in the middle of the court, surrounded by the deafening cheers of the crowd, which made him feel an overwhelming urge to burst into tears. Because at this moment, all his previous efforts and pressures were worth it, and he had received a corresponding return, even more generous!
When more than 30,000 people at the scene shouted "Caesar", when all the players of Kaiserslautern gathered around Yang Chen, this team was written into the annals of German league history and created an unprecedented miracle!
After receiving the award, the club also arranged a trophy parade activity. The big bus without awning was already prepared and stopped outside the stadium parking lot.
When the club announced that they would be having a victory parade, the entire stadium erupted as fans enthusiastically followed the team's bus in an orderly fashion to tour the city.
The players had to go back to the locker room to change their clothes, but Yang Chen didn't need to. He directly went to attend the post-match press conference and then walked out of Fritz-Walter-Stadion, all the way receiving cheers, hugs from fans, and even passionate kisses from female fans, which made Yang Chen smile wryly and helplessly.
But just as Yang Cheng walked into the parking lot of the stadium, he was intercepted by a woman who had been waiting here early.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" The woman approached him proactively, with a flirtatious smile that had a hint of seduction.
"Hello!" Yang Cheng responded politely, but he felt a bit repulsed by this woman in black clothes with golden hair. She looked quite old, but she had put on very heavy makeup to cover up her age, which instead made her look eerie and flirtatious. Moreover, her revealing outfit and suggestive behavior only added to his discomfort.
Yang Chengqi initially thought the woman looked a bit familiar, but couldn't quite place who she was. However, once she introduced herself, Yang Cheng suddenly realized that it was none other than Sharon Stone, the female lead from the movie "Basic Instinct".
"I just watched the game you coached from the stands, it was amazing and fantastic! I think I'm a little obsessed with football now, and maybe even with you!" Sharon Stone said with a flirtatious smile.
Not to mention that she doesn't suit Yang Cheng's taste, just because of what she said in front of Yang Cheng after the big earthquake in her previous life, Yang Cheng would thoroughly remove her from his social blacklist and wouldn't associate with this kind of person.
"Thank you!" Yang Cheng replied perfunctorily, but was preparing to shake off this persistent person.
"You know, I was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar in '96, and since then, I haven't been able to find a suitable script to shoot. But I heard that Mr. Yang Cheng's scripts are excellent, with the title of 2 million screenwriters, so I hope to ask Mr. Yang Cheng to tailor-make a script for me!"
At this point, Sharon Stone specially pulled her deep V-neck collar, as if to remind Yang Cheng that her figure was so hot.
But what Yang Cheng saw was a soft and sagging, severely drooping two pieces of rotten meat, and there were already some spots on top. He really couldn't understand how this woman could still feel so good about herself?
"As for the remuneration, we can discuss it. You can make any request and demand any payment you want, as long as you agree to write a prize-winning script for me!" Sharon Stone even intentionally puffed out her chest, smiling with a flirtatious intent.
Yang Cheng had always been perfunctory to her, but she seemed to have no such self-awareness. When Yang Cheng saw the team's big bus, he immediately secretly called out "good luck". He shook his head towards Sharon Stone and said: "Sorry, I never write scripts for people!"
"Can't you make an exception for me?" Sharon Stone's voice implied.
Yang Cheng suddenly sneered and leaned in closer, asking back: "What are you?"
Sharon Stone was stunned, her face suddenly froze, and then a surge of anger erupted like a volcano, pointing at Yang Cheng who was walking away with a string of curses. "You ungrateful bastard, don't you know what the consequences are for offending me?"
Sharron's outburst drew the attention of the surrounding Kaiserslautern fans, especially her next sentence, "Pffft, what Kaiser, pffft!"
The fans saw that she actually dared to provoke her respected head coach, and suddenly they all glared at her, surrounding her in the middle.
"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"
The fans surrounded her one by one, filled with righteous indignation. The media from a distance had already captured this point and immediately rushed over to record everything, preparing to use it in the entertainment section.
In the end, Sharon Stone apologized but still couldn't calm down the fans, she had to seek help from the police, but was also scolded and intimidated by them.
"If you dare to insult our Caesar again, I'll throw you from the top of the Fritz-Walter-Stadion!" The policeman slammed his fist on the table and bellowed.
