23 The first battle (below)
23 First Battle (Part 2)
In Chemnitz, club chairman Dilsmit returned to the club's office with his tired body. From a distance, he heard a particularly long goal, and his whole body seemed to have fallen apart and lost his soul.
Having just hit a wall between bankers and wealthy people, they could not afford to pay money to support a team that was about to be relegated to the regional league, so no matter how Dilsmit requested or guaranteed it, it would have no effect.
The moment he stepped into the office, he heard the sound of goal, and he really felt a dismal feeling of being ashamed.
But immediately afterwards, silent for a few seconds. Several staff members in the office cheered loudly and hugged each other happily to celebrate.
When Dilsmit saw this scene, he was furious, "What are you doing?"
The staff were all stunned and looked at Dilsmit, who was rushing in angrily.
"The club is going bankrupt, are you very happy, are you? The club loses, are you very excited, are you? Have you never thought about doing something for this club? Do you really have no feelings for this club?"
"Does... do you really want to watch Chemnitz go to perish?"
At this moment, Dilsmit vented all the grievances suffered from bankers, sponsors and wealthy people, and even if he could, he wanted to sweep all the boys in front of him out.
The staff looked at me and I looked at you, and they were stunned for nearly a minute, and Dilsmit also stood there without moving.
At this moment, the coach who succeeded Yang Cheng in charge of the second team rushed in from outside.
"Hey, have we scored the goal? I heard we scored the goal, is it true?" he asked yellingly.
At that moment, Dilsmit's whole mind suddenly became blank, buzzing, short-circuited for at least a few seconds, and then woke up and asked in disbelief: "We scored the goal?"
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, we scored, it was Gujo, he scored, we temporarily lead Bochum 0:1 away!"
Dilsmit trembled two steps, then sat on the old sofa used by guests in the office, staring straight ahead, looking unbelievable. He could not accept the news that his team's goal was to lead Bochum away.
After more than ten minutes, when he had accepted the facts, he kept listening to the analysis of the live commentator in his ears and constantly hearing the commentator's affirmative remarks about the performance of the Chemnitz players. He really believed that the team that was leading away from home on TV was really his team, and it was Chemnitz!
When he stood up, walked over, and prepared to take a good look at the live game, a deafening "goal..." sounded again from the TV speakers..
At this moment, Dilsmit stopped and dared not move forward because he was afraid that he would turn from ecstasy to disappointment.
But the next sentence, "Oh my God, it's really unbelievable. It was a shocking long-range shot outside the penalty area. Michael, Barack, and the back row inserted into Chemnitz to win another goal, 0:2!"
"It's amazing. Chemnitz's performance in this game is really amazing. They simply controlled the game. Bochum players were completely defeated in front of Chemnitz's players and had no power to fight back!"
"Two consecutive goals were almost all counterattacks launched after intercepting the ball from the midfield. Chemnitz's tactics in this game were obviously very targeted. The central-fronter combination of Watts and Stix Rose is too old to withstand the successive impact of Chemnitz's young players."
"Sebastian, Kyle, Michael, Barack, Clemens, Fritz, plus Jankoler who is not a retreat, and Tosen, Gujo and Chemnitz who are erratic in this game, played very firmly and decisively with the tactics of attack instead of defense, and also achieved good results."
Listening to the noise coming from the TV speaker, Dilsmit came to the TV almost tremblingly, and just saw Barack and other players rushing directly to the sidelines, hugging head coach Yang Cheng tightly. Their age is so close that it makes people suspect that they are teammates, not masters and apprentices.
At this moment, Dilsmit suddenly regretted it, regretting why he didn't fire Hefner earlier and appointed Yang Cheng. If it were earlier, maybe Chemnitz wouldn't have fallen to the point where he is today.
Yang Cheng in the TV camera was tightly held by the players. After finally breaking free, he hugged Barack's head tightly, then kowtowed the players one by one, kept explaining their instructions, and then signaling them to return to the stadium.
At this time, Yang Cheng didn't look like a 23-year-old young man, but instead he was a mature and steadfast middle-aged coach. He was not overwhelmed by the joy of victory and always kept thinking and analyzing calmly.
Dilsmit looked at the close-up of Yang Cheng on TV cameras, and he suddenly realized that this Chinese was not as annoying as before. At this moment, he became very likable, just like a hero who everyone loved.
I believe that there are many people who have the same idea as Dilsmit, especially in Chemnitz. There must be countless fans who have completely changed Yang Cheng like him.
Yang Cheng, who is at the Ruhr Stadium, did not know what was happening outside, nor did he know that the TV cameras frequently featured him, nor did he know that in Hamburg, there was a beautiful woman watching the live TV broadcast while laughing and scolding him.
Now that he is all intent on the game, he finds that the game is so happy.
There is no doubt that after 0:2, Chemnitz's morale surged, while Bochum was venting as much as he could. As long as Chemnitz continued to maintain the tactics of the first half, Bochum would find it difficult to perform any more.
With a score of 0:2, Yang Cheng came to the sidelines and hugged the players one by one, congratulating them on gaining a temporary lead in the game, and then leading them into the locker room.
During the 15 minutes of the half-time break, Yang Cheng gave the players enough rest time and then arranged the tactics of the second half, which basically maintained the tactical characteristics of the first half, but only required the players to retract appropriately. After all, after pressing the entire first half, the players' physical fitness decline was certain.
"But Weigman, the forward, must pay attention to, Sebastian, Louis, you must be careful of this player. His position is very erratic, and he often intersperses between the front midfielder and the forward line. Be sure to pay attention to him!"
Yang Cheng specifically reminded players to be careful of Weigman, because he is a player with excellent scoring ability. He was once the scorer of the 1993/94 season. He scored 22 goals for Bochum in 30 matches. Last season in the Bundesliga, he also scored 11 goals and had outstanding scoring ability.
Kyle, Louis, and Hutt both nodded cautiously.
After verification in the first half, the players were confident in Yang Cheng's tactical arrangements and arrangements, because it was his arrangement that allowed Chemnitz to completely suppress Bochum in the first half and also took a 2-goal lead.
As long as this trend continues in the second half, Chemnitz will definitely be able to leave Ruhr Stadium with a smile.
Everyone knows what winning such a game means for a team like Chemnitz.
It is precisely because of this that during the halftime break, although Yang Cheng did not mobilize vigorously, the players still maintained strong motivation in the second half. No one would slacken. They all tightened their nerves and were extremely devoted on the court.
Although Yang Cheng made two substitutions after the second half, Chemnitz was not affected too much overall due to physical fitness. Instead, Fritz made a cross after a breakthrough from the right in the 72nd minute of the second half. Jankoler, who was retreating to receive, suddenly inserted from behind and headed the ball before everyone was on the way.
Chapter completed!
