Sharon Stone's appearance was just a small episode in the whole celebration, and no one took it to heart, at least in Yang Cheng's mind, she was just a passerby.

  The entire procession around the city was very dense and enthusiastic.

  Kaiserslautern is not without a championship, they have also won the Bundesliga title in the season, but this time the championship is vastly different from before, that is, this championship is enough to make the whole city go crazy.

  Although the season's championship was also a way out of the trough, Kaiserlautern only barely avoided relegation and ultimately succeeded in advancing to safety without any surprises, so fans were just dissatisfied with the team's performance, but had no other emotions.

  However, 2 years ago Kaiserslautern suffered a disastrous relegation, the fans' image of the club almost collapsed overnight, they couldn't believe that with Kaiserslautern's identity as a Bundesliga powerhouse, they would end up being relegated in such a sorry state. Furthermore, the club's financial problems made the fans feel pessimistic about the future, and some even felt hopeless.

  Yang Chen carried the dreams of all fans at this critical moment, just like a savior from a fairy tale. He led Kaiserslautern to win the championship and promotion with an unbeatable record, and also won the quadruple crown in the 2nd Bundesliga, bringing expectations and hope to the fans.

  But even so, no one thought that the team could win the Bundesliga title.

  It wasn't until the end of the first half of the league that Kaiserslautern was in the leading position, and all Kaiserslautern fans realized that the team they loved was so strong, and they really realized that the team had a chance to win the championship.

  Then, the frustration and depression of two years were thoroughly vented. In the second half of the league season, Kaiserslautern's home games were all sold out, even American soldiers came to watch the game.

  From the original disappointment, even despair, to today's rekindling of hope, fans' emotions have been like a roller coaster over the past two years, with great falls and rises. Therefore, when the team won the championship, their joy was unprecedented.

  The streets and alleys of Kaiserslautern were packed with celebrating fans, this day seemed to have become a public holiday in Kaiserslautern. Even the mayor of Kaiserslautern personally stopped the bus in front of the town hall, came forward to celebrate with Yang Chen and the players, and hugged the Bundesliga championship trophy tightly.

  Almost overnight, Kaiserlautern became the hero and symbol of this city again, eliminating the impact caused by the team's relegation before, and the club's reputation was pushed to a higher level, even the highest point.

  The miracle of Kaiserslautern's championship, this is something that has never happened in the history of the Bundesliga, but Kaiserslautern did it, just like the Miracle of Bern in 1954, bringing to fans not only a championship, but also a spirit and an unyielding fighting will.

  Yang Chen, a 26-year-old Chinese man, has been enjoying the cheers and adoration of fans along the way, with chants of "Caesar" almost everywhere he goes.

  Never has a Chinese person received such treatment in a German city, he is the first one

  He led Kaiserslautern to a miracle and became the hero of Kaiserslautern, becoming the most legendary genius head coach in German football.

  After the celebration, they returned to Fritz-Walter-Stadion. The Chinese ambassador to Germany and his entourage met with Yang Chen in the presence of CCTV and several authoritative media outlets from home, thanking him for boosting China's national prestige in Germany and making Chinese people proud.

  Yang Cheng was also accustomed to this official form, after all, the leader of the visiting group of Capital Television Station was his good friend Ye Wen. So he went through the motions and then invited everyone to attend the celebration party at Kaiser Saal tonight, and no one left without getting drunk.

  On the evening of that day, almost half of Kaiserslautern was silent, and everyone gathered on the small hill where the Fritz-Walter-Stadion is located, as well as in the surrounding area of Otterbach, where you could see fans who were drunk with excitement.

  The police had to deploy more officers temporarily that night to maintain order, even borrowing a large number of police forces from neighboring cities such as Mannheim, to ensure the safety and order of football fans during the celebration.

  Yang Cheng, as the team's head coach, also participated in the celebration but was very restrained because he knew that the 34th round of the league could be taken lightly, but the Champions Cup final must be taken seriously.

  If they win this championship again, Kaiserslautern will create another legendary history.

  In order to prepare for the Champions Cup final, Yang Cheng specially gave the players a 2-day holiday, allowing them to rest well after the team won the championship, especially the main players in the team. Yang Cheng even decided to give up the 34th round of the league and focus on preparing for the Champions Cup final.

  …………

  "Knock knock~~~"

  Werner Mertz knocked on the door of Yang Chen's office, he had just seen the head coach return to the training base after sending off the Chinese interview group, and at this moment he must be in his office.

  "Come in!" As expected, Yang Cheng's voice came from inside.

  Mei Zhe walked in with a smile, and the whole office was empty except for Yang Cheng, who was watching some game replays on TV, which were obviously Chelsea's.

  "Are you concerned about the Yu Sheng Cup final?" Mei Zhe sighed in his heart.

  Many people think Yang Cheng's success is a gift, but in fact it's because they don't know about Yang Cheng's hard work.

  No one's success in this world is predetermined, even for geniuses like Ronaldo, who have achieved their current status through diligent training.

  "Hmm, you know, this trophy has never been defended by anyone!" Yang Cheng said casually.

  Werner M?lzer nodded his head, he appreciated Yang Cheng's boldness and confidence, it was because no one had defended the title before, so Yang Cheng wanted to be the first, and possibly the only one.

  "Go ahead, what's up?" Yang Cheng smiled and turned off the TV, came to sit down behind his office desk, gestured for Melzer to sit in front of him, then asked.

  Mei Zhe waved the folder in his hand and handed it to Yang Cheng. "First of all, of course, is about the summer chairman election. So far, no one has proposed to participate in the election!" A hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

  Everyone knows the performance of Kaiserslautern this season, and coach Yang Cheng is considered the biggest contributor to the team's championship, becoming a hero in Kaiserslautern, and also becoming the biggest trump card for Werner Melzer not to be elected.

  Everyone knows Yang Cheng supports Mel Gibson

  "That's great, congratulations!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

  Mei Zhe shook his head, "You said it yourself, nothing is set in stone, anything can still happen!"

  Yang Cheng laughed and scolded a sentence, feeling that Melzer plagiarized his own famous quote.

  "But I came today mainly to talk to you about the club's power reform!" Melzer put away his smile and said seriously.

  Yang Cheng's expression also became serious, he knew that Melzer was going to take advantage of the team's championship opportunity to directly attack the board of directors, letting those board members be more obedient, just hanging a name would do, and not easily intervening in the team management.

  This is also what Yang Cheng has been encouraging him to do all along, and now it seems that he already has a plan in place.

  "Just like the kicker magazine's special report that just came out, since you took over Kaiserslautern, the team's financial situation has been very ideal for two consecutive seasons, especially this season, we will turn losses into profits!" Melzer said excitedly.

  Winning a Bundesliga title not only brought Kaiserslautern a trophy, but also a substantial amount of prize money. Combined with Yang's previous frugal management style, most of Kaiserslautern's expenses went towards player salaries, while their revenue was quite good, especially in terms of sponsorship income, which increased significantly.

  This is also a major contribution of Yang Cheng to the club, that is, he reminded Merz to focus on developing sponsors, so there is today's financially healthy Kaiserslautern.

  "This season's championship, next season's profit will be more, but the player's salary expenditure will also increase, so in commercial development, we should add another effort!" Yang Cheng thought for a moment and suggested.

  Meier nodded, "Yes, I think so too. Currently Nike is willing to increase sponsorship fees. In addition, we are actively contacting new jersey sponsors and other series of sponsors, which can bring us a substantial sponsorship income and improve the club's operating conditions!"

  "The improvement of the stadium is also very important!" Yang Cheng reminded.

  The current operation of the Fritz-Walter-Stadion is actually very backward, except for some basic ticket sales and convenience stores, there is nothing else, which is unimaginable to Yang Cheng.

  Looking at the nearly full attendance rate of Kaiser's stadium, the consumption capacity of fans is very high, but the club does not have corresponding measures, which is simply a huge waste. In the past, it was possible to make excuses for the club's poor financial income, but now there is no such excuse.

  "My initial idea is to improve the hardware and business environment of the stadium, improve the training ground and youth training system, and enhance the operational capabilities of the commercial team. All these need to be completed during the summer league break!" Melzer has great trust in Yang Cheng.

  Yang Cheng showed a hint of appreciation and nodded: "That's a good idea, but in that case, I'm afraid the team's income will be spent!"

  Mei Zhe shrugged, somewhat helplessly. He was now running a small business, "So I need you to agree, because if I really do this, it's likely that I won't be able to afford to pay your transfer fee this summer!"

  On the one hand, after winning the championship, the bonus was also paid more, and the players' salaries had to be improved accordingly. With this series of actions, although the expenses are not very large, it is clear that the team will have no hope of operating in the transfer market again.

  Yang Cheng thought for a moment, the team's front line and midfield are very strong at present, and the personnel is also very neat. As long as there are no outgoing players, there is no need to make corresponding supplements. However, on the backline, Yang Cheng hopes to introduce an experienced veteran.

  To be honest, the performance of the backline this season is not satisfactory. Fritz and Dedé are both side backs with many opportunities to play, but they are mainly attacking in Yang Chen's tactical system, so I won't say more.

  Koscielny, Lucio, Kolo Toure, Kivu and Luis Hut are all candidates for the central defender position. However, apart from Koscielny, Lucio has made great progress but is a bit impulsive, Kolo Toure is more stable and can also play as an attacking midfielder, but he is still young, while Kivu and Luis Hut are both very young.

  In this case, paying for the German domestic league is still possible, but once in the European Champions Cup, encountering those old-fashioned giants, especially when encountering top-level teams with super-strong attacking ability, Kaiserslautern's back line will definitely be blown up.

  Those who say that counter-attacking is always better than defending, and that scoring one more goal than the opponent is a tactical style, are just talking nonsense. Because if you lead a team with this kind of tactical idea, you will definitely make everyone laugh out loud.

  If a team is likened to a skyscraper, the backline is its foundation. The strength or weakness of this foundation determines how high the building can be constructed.

  This season, Kaiserslautern's backline has repeatedly made mistakes. Yang Chen was mentally prepared for this. Kosch is a player with good ability, but he had some injuries last season and his form fluctuated greatly. When he played well, he was very good, but when he played poorly, it was very disappointing.

  Yang Cheng wants a backline core that can bring experience and stability to the team at critical moments.

  "This issue is not big, but I have a requirement, which is to keep the current batch of players in the team, and none of them can leave!" Not giving transfer fees is not a big problem for Yang Cheng, but on the contrary, selling players instead of buying is absolutely a negative performance.

  Mancini Zheng emphasized, "I have arranged a contract extension for several players in the team and negotiations have already begun. I can guarantee that none of these players will leave!"

  "Help me get in touch with another key player!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

  "Who?" Melzer replied without hesitation.

  "Schalke 04's Thomas Linke, whose contract with Schalke 04 expires at the end of this season and will be a free agent, has been eyed by many teams including Bayern and Dortmund. I hope to bring him to Tübingen!"

  Yang Cheng added a sentence, "With him, we may be able to make a big show on the European stage next year!"

  To make a name for themselves in the European arena, defense is key. If they can take down Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané, the level of their backline will definitely be greatly improved, and Yang Chen will have even more confidence.

  But Yang Cheng also knew that although Thomas Linke was a free transfer, saving on the transfer fee, his salary would have to be increased accordingly, so the team's operating pressure would also increase. However, if the team could perform well in European competitions and gain more income from them, then Thomas Linke's salary wouldn't be a problem.

  "Alright, we'll contact Schalke 04 right away!" Melzer nodded in agreement.

  Yang Cheng also laughed and expressed his stance: "Werner, you want to reform the team's management, I absolutely support it, but there is one thing I hope you can make clear, this is not just for me, but also for future generations. The authority of the head coach must be consolidated, and the investment in the youth training system must be consistent!"

  As tactics continue to improve, the role of the head coach becomes more and more important, eventually becoming the soul of the team. Although nowadays teams generally do not place much emphasis on the head coach, Yang Cheng, as a later generation, is very clear about this point and therefore proposes to consolidate the authority of the head coach.

  As for youth training, Yang Cheng has established a well-functioning youth training system for Kaiserslautern. With this prototype in place, as long as they continue to invest consistently, Kaiserslautern's youth academy will not be bad.

  Meizhe had many conversations with Yang Cheng, and as a former football player himself, he deeply understood the importance of head coaches and youth training, so he immediately promised to pay more attention to it.

  "This summer I don't want a transfer fee, just as you said, all invested in the hardware and software facilities of the stadium and training, this is a long-term plan for the club, and in the future, we can get endless income from here!" Yang Cheng said generously.

  Mei Zhe looked at Yang Cheng with gratitude, knowing that the latter was considering the club's financial income.

  If Kaiserslautern can stay in the Bundesliga, with the addition of stadium revenue and sponsorship income, the club will basically be able to achieve healthy operations. This is absolutely great news for Kaiserslautern, which was still deeply mired in financial disputes two years ago.

  In Yang's view, Kaiserslautern does not have a large financial group behind it, and it is not in a prosperous big city. It is impossible to transform into a top-notch giant, even if it is in the Bundesliga, it will be very difficult to compete with Bayern Munich, at most it can only become a strong team like Dortmund or Leverkusen, guaranteeing European competition in the future and occasionally tasting the championship.

  It was precisely this point that led Yang Zhen to decide to support Mei Xie's reform.

  He really has feelings for this team, he doesn't want to leave a mess after he leaves, leaving a pile of debt, and finally having to sell off star players to pay it back, that's not what he wants to see.

  On the other hand, if he supports Melzer's reform, the club has entered a benign operation. Although it is still impossible to keep top stars, at least it can guarantee that it will not be affected by debt and self-sufficiency, without having to look at others' faces for a living. As long as the youth training is done well, this team will become a powerful force in the Bundesliga in the future.

  At least it won't be downgraded again

  Yang Cheng thought of the previous life Kaiserslautern, it was because of debt that led to coach Rehhagel and Bremer being unable to do anything, and finally relegated in a sorry state, he hoped to avoid all this.

  If he can really do that, then in the future when countless people mention Kaiserslautern, they will remember that it was Yang Chen's coaching that brought fundamental changes to the club and laid a solid foundation, which is absolutely a big boost to Yang Chen's coaching reputation.

  On the other hand, if he coached Kaizer Chiefs and only cared about results, not finances, and finally won the championship, but then jumped to another team, while Kaizer Chiefs was relegated in a sorry state, everyone would think that Yang Chen had drained Kaizer Chiefs' last bit of energy and left behind an irreparable mess.

  Yang Chen did not want to do so, although he knew in his heart that doing so would be easier to succeed, but he still did not want to, and instead chose to take a more difficult path, because he had feelings for this club, for the fans here!
