Chapter 417: Otto the Great
Kaiserslautern did not stop his progress after winning the match against Nuremberg with a clean score of 3:1, or the key players represented by Ni Tu and Klose finally supported the team.
While the results that followed the departure of a limited number of key players were a testament to the thinness of their squad, there is no doubt that if Kaiser's core players can stay fit, they will be a very competitive team in the Bundesliga, not a team struggling with relegation.
Of course, it is limited to the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern's squad does not have the ability to fight on two lines, and it is enough to stumble when playing in the league and preparing for the German Cup.
The Bundesliga Red Devils face a crucial game in their penultimate round, as they face direct relegation rivals Hertha Berlin.
The match with Hertha Berlin is to some extent even a six-point ending, the losing side will fall into the bottomless abyss, and the winner of the game, although will not immediately escape from the ascension, but at least in the momentum has occupied an absolute lead, after all, this is the top two in the league between the rookie peck, whoever pecks will raise their eyebrows.
For Kaiserslautern, the match had another special significance, as it came from Hertha Berlin coach Otore Hagel.
Speaking of Rehhagel's name, people will naturally think of two myths, one is that he led Kaiserslautern to win the Bundesliga championship as a promoted horse, and the other is when he led Dick Silk Greece to defeat the rich and wealthy in the European Cup.
The two mythical miracles were created by one person, which shows the miracle of Rehhagel himself, and he also deserves the title of "Otto the Great".
It is not difficult to understand that the special affection of the Kaiserslautern people towards Otto the Great may only be compared to Rehhagel by the ancient figures, Kaiser and even the heroic figure of the Federal Republic of Germany, Fritzwalt.
Rehhagel is not just a former manager for Kaiser, he brings Kaiserslautern not only a championship, but also the myth that will always be sung and the most important Bundesliga Red Devil spirit!
Rehhagel clearly did not anticipate that he would be playing Kaiserslautern in this situation, although the Bundesliga Red Devils have already started to decline since his departure as Kaiser manager.
Last season they showed a rare fighting spirit, but in the eyes of the famous coach, to some extent, it was not the success of Kaiserslautern, but the success of Ni Tu and Rakic in the team, if it wasn't for Ni Tu to steal points for them and boost morale at critical moments, Kaiserslautern last season is very likely to be in the bottom half of the league.
In this regard, he can only sigh, in today's society, the overall development trend of the team can not be changed by any person, this is an era when capital is king, it is not easy for the team he loves to achieve such a high ranking last season, maybe this season is the real fate of Kaiser!
"Frankly, I didn't expect the two sides to play each other again in such a tense and exciting situation, and both of our teams are very prominently ranked!"
Rehhagel was even in the mood to joke when interviewed by reporters, as if trying to remove some of the unnecessary atmosphere from the impact of the Cup.
'Everybody knows it's a six-point game and no matter what, I'm going to get a win for my team and hopefully Kaiserslautern can prove my efforts wrong.'
Otto the Great's affection for Kaiserslautern is undoubted, but as a professional coach, he must follow his own professional ethics, and Hertha Berlin cannot afford to lose this game!
Thanks to Rehhagel's command, Kaiserslautern fans who travelled to the stadium also felt less nervous and hostile to Hertha Berlin, who had come here to support their home team.
Although Ottore Hagel also claimed to lead his team to defeat Kaiserslautern, even the fans have let go of their preconceptions about their direct opponents in relegation, and many people think that this is a journey of feelings, but is this really the case?
"If you really think so, don't regret losing the game! Forget who's who! Just remember that our only goal is to win the game! ”
Ni Tu kept reminding his young teammates before the game, such as young central defender Orban, Greek winger Fortunis and others, who seem to be more susceptible to the influence of the past than the "old men" of Kaiserslautern.
Ni Tu certainly didn't believe that a few reminders could get his teammates to fully focus on the game, and at this time, the most vocal veteran Klose was asked out by him, because the current top scorer of the German national team was promoted by Rehhagel to play in Kaiserslautern's first team.
Klose said to the crowd: "I'm afraid no one knows the opponent's manager better than me, right? It was more than 10 years ago, but I still remember very clearly, the coach pointed at me and he said that he believed that he was a player who was always looking for a win and that he was going to win every game! What do you think this game will look like? ”
Rehhagel is indeed preparing for this duel with the idea of winning the game, and in his mind, what stands in front of him is not the team that has a lot of connections with him, but the obstacle to the team's relegation.
"You all know the story between me and Kaiserslautern, but the truth is that I am now the head coach of your team! I have only one responsibility, and that is to make sure that our team stays in the Bundesliga squad next season! Tell me out loud, can we do it? Will we be able to do miracles?! ”
When it comes to miracles, there is probably no second person who can compare to Alto the Great, and the players of Hertha Berlin are also very willing to believe in their manager's words, and they are also willing to practice the manager's tactical arrangements at such a critical moment.
Everyone wants to win, but there is only one winner, who will have the last laugh?
There is only one goal for everyone, and that is to keep the team's place in the Bundesliga no matter what!
