Chapter 274: A Pass
Thankfully, the expectations for the new season are not high, and they are on the relegation side. For any promoted team, the first season is basically regarded as a training period, which means that Kaiserslautern has to "pay the tuition" during this time.
Kaiserslautern set the goal of relegation, which doesn't seem to be interesting at all, and it doesn't seem to make people feel the slightest bit cool. But don't be discouraged, it's unlikely that a promoted horse will set its goals too high anyway.
Unless this team is supported by the local tyrant's father, they have sufficient funds, because they have money, they can recruit more powerful players, in the eyes of the local tyrant's father, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, promotion horse? Doesn't matter! I give you money, let you buy people, I give you money to give you all kinds of rewards to the team!
Under the heavy reward, there will be warriors to vote, and there will be unexpected effects under the heavy reward, and they will dare to shout the slogan of protecting three for one, three years and five years of so-and-so.
But Kaiserslautern is different, if they dare to set their goals so high and no one else ridicules them, their own players will not be happy, what are you kidding? What do you want us to do with us?
"To be a man, you have to be self-aware!"
To put it bluntly, Kaiserslautern is a first-class team with no money, and it is impossible for them to recruit enough powerful players in the short term, not to mention the reinforcements, it is already difficult to retain the powerful players in the team.
So you can't blame the club for the reality, the reality is often helpless, who doesn't want to inherit the glory of their team like at the end of the last century, and cast their own legend with another myth? Exchange a miracle for a military medal of honor?
Everything needs to be done within one's means, and in today's football environment, everything is not what it used to be, a long time ago, the role of funds was not very obvious, and clubs without money can still win the championship, even the Champions League champion, which symbolizes the highest honor of the team, and there are indeed poor and white teams in history who have done such a "feat", but without exception, they who have no money have finally been ruthlessly swept into the dustbin of history.
But now it's different, look at the Champions League champions over the years, which club is not a wealthy and wealthy owner?
Rich men, no rich men are difficult, although they belong to the kind of heroes who are embarrassed, Kurz and his Kaiserslautern still can't give up, since they have come to this gladiatorial arena desperately, they have to find a way to survive in the gladiatorial arena, even if they are hit on the head and bleeding, they have to grit their teeth and move forward.
The team began their preparation after the holiday season, and due to their long break and the large number of new players joined, Kaiserslautern had to play a few friendly matches before the start of the new season.
After the friendly is the official match, which is a German Cup match.
Compared to last season, the importance of the German Cup after Kaiserslautern was promoted to the Bundesliga, and the most important goal of the team was of course to return to the ranks of the Bundesliga, and returning to the Bundesliga was also their greatest honour.
Now that the team has achieved what they had been dreaming about, it's time to have a clear positioning, the German Cup is a shortcut for them to "go out", and the salad plate is not something they can get their hands on.
Kaiserslautern is not Bayer Leverkusen, not Hamburg, not Bremen, not Borussia Dortmund Schalke 04, not Bayern Munich, the only thing they can do in the league after being promoted to the Bundesliga is relegation, and the only breakthrough in results is the German Cup, which is relatively despised by the giants.
The giant team can have a higher cup feeling, that is, the "Big Ear Cup", and the ** silk team must be soberly aware that any championship is actually not related to itself, and the only thing that has fate is this "little girl who is despised by the aristocracy".
Of course, even the German Cup is an honour that Kaiserslautern looks up to right now, and they have to have an intuitive assessment of it.
No matter what the goal, the team needs to prepare steadily, and what the unknown adventure of the new season now needs the players to do is to train desperately.
Rakic's head down and running grimacingly as they go on a routine "outing" that starts every season.
It's a trick of head coach Kurtz, and the team will run around the Betazen Mountains before the start of the season, which is a real toss-up and a poor toss, and Kaiserslautern is close to the city, so he enriches his team's training methods.
"Holy! Ni Tu, I have to endure such hardships once or twice a season, I really can't stand it! You should transfer this season, you see that people are going to all kinds of good places to train, we are living in Kaiser! ”
Ilicevic complained early when Rakic's patience was still alive that the team had the craziest play in his summer, so his body couldn't withstand such "fatigue training" for months, so it was easier to complain.
Rakić is just enduring this torment, since someone vents it, there is no need for him to vent, this kind of thing is better not to follow the trend, so as not to really form a discordant atmosphere.
And Ni Tu just smiled and said to him: "Prepare well, you see that you have gained weight!" "He's telling the truth, Ilicevic is a little more mellow than before.
Ni Tu is the easiest person in the whole team to deal with this kind of training, and the convenience of being close to the whole of Betzen Mountain makes him often come here to train during the league break.
He is a very disciplined player and has yet to go to a bar or nightclub that players are more likely to frequent.
Needless to say, in the two years he came to Germany, he only stayed in two places except for competitions, one was Frankfurt where he flew by himself, and the other was Kaiserslautern where he was located.
Ni Tu, who had not indulged all summer, showed the effect of his training at this time of day, although his physical condition could not be compared with those strong white and black people, but his self-discipline still won the rewards for himself, at least during this period of time, his physical strength was abundant.
Therefore, the head coach is particularly relieved of Ni Tu, a player he has accepted, and with such a professional attitude towards him, Kurz will fully consider using him more in the new season to rely on him.
In other words, in fact, Ni Tu has already booked a pass to the First Division!
