Fast forward to late June 2009, and the vacancy of Kaiserslautern seems to be coming to an end, and the Red Devils are about to usher in a new era, one unlike any other.

Is it good or bad for it to come? We will have to wait for time to find out.

Despite a good result in Kaiserslautern II achieving a surprise comeback and promotion to the third division, Olaf Marshall did not get a position as the team's first-team manager...... In the new season, he will continue to be the head coach of the second team, and the "throne" of the first team will find another owner.

The Lautten legend continues to stay in the second-tier team to practice internal skills.

Without the help of a well-known coach, Ni Tu's path to the first team has become more ambiguous, what style of coach will the new first-team manager be, and will Kaiserslautern be able to get back on a stable track after the drastic changes? Everything is unknown.

It seems that Ni Tu will continue to stay in the second-tier team to hone his internal skills like his "mentor" Marshall.

……

There has also been some uncertainty about the club's recent movements, and their delay in announcing the choice of a manager has also contributed to the panic in the squad.

The club's leading goalscorer, Djan Deridgek, has just one year left on his contract and has publicly declared that he is concerned about the club's plans.

"Yes, my players are very worried about the current situation of the team, the season that has just ended is undoubtedly bad, Eric is disappointed that the team has not been promoted, the new season, we want the club to have a stable situation, my players want to play in the first division......" Djan Deridgek's agent said in front of the media about the current situation in Kaiserslautern, "I have discussed with Eric, of course the renewal of the player's contract with the team has to be discussed, but what we want to see is a stable club, Otherwise, all negotiations are meaningless. ”

Kaiserslautern FC's speculation about the current situation is only an announcement on the official website, that is, "the team will announce the new manager by July at the latest". ”

Now, various media and countless players are paying attention to Kaiserslautern's "change of times", and the team has been holding back only one announcement for a long time, and fans still think that the head coach of the team has finally decided!

"Why is it so hard to find a manager? Do you still need the head coach's mother to give birth to a head coach? The difficult birth is none other than the selection of our team's coach, right? ”

Some fans are complaining, and the club's slow action certainly can't avoid the impatience of the fans.

"If you want me to say, the team can just use Olaf, he has led the team to promotion to the third division, Marshall has a good result, why don't the club use him?"

"It seems that the team still has money to toss, how can a manager ask for as little as Marshall? Otherwise, if he loved the team deeply, other teams would have poached him long ago...... Kuntz must have thought the team's finances weren't dangerous enough! ”

Fans are talking about the current situation, and this "pastime" is of course the best way to pass the time on days when there are no games.

"There's a nice guy in the second team, he's a yellow guy, he's playing very well and he's a key figure in the team's ability to turn around Borussia Dortmund's second team." Someone finally brought the topic to Ni Tu, who they already had some impressions.

"Don't say it, it's true, I've seen him play, it's said that he is still a college student, an amateur footballer, this kid plays football and makes people feel very comfortable!"

"It's a pity that the club is a mess right now, and how can we still be in the mood to go to the second tier to discover young players......"

The fans were silent for a while, they knew that the club's life was not easy now, but after ten years of accumulation, Kaiserslautern had gradually put down the "Red Devils" shelf and began to admit his decline.

If it weren't for the improvement of immunity, the club's "inaction" would have been criticized by the fans long ago instead of complaining like now.

Fans know the club's difficulties, and the difficulty is that there is no money.

Because it is in the middle of the league break, the major media have focused on the transfer movements of various teams. As far as Germany is concerned, the most popular teams in the media are, of course, the Bundesliga teams, with clubs such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund under Jurgen Klopp particularly eye-catching. They are not satisfied with the season, whether there are player transfers, etc., especially the fact that people come and go, will "step on" the tail of the media.

Compared to the Bundesliga, the teams in the second division have received much less attention. But Kaiserslautern is different, and in the eyes of the media they seem to be enjoying the shadow of myth.

As a result, Kaiserslautern is one of the most medialy watched teams in the second division, and although they are now down, they were once the mythical team known as the Red Devils in the Bundesliga.

The media is focusing on this Kaiserslautern team, and there is no doubt that the most important thing at the moment is the head coach of the team.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the team cannot be without a coach for a day. The media "got their hands dirty" for Kaiserslautern. Today the tabloid reports that Kaiserslautern has a crush on whom, and tomorrow another tabloid will say that Kaiserslautern has a private agreement with whom. Are they really helping this Kaiser team? Don't be naïve, it's pretty good for reporters as long as they don't cause trouble, and those who count on them to help will regret it.

This was more of a sarcasm in the media, and even the big newspapers ridiculed it, with the Frankfurter Zeitung writing: "We admire Kaiserslautern's secrecy and so far no one knows where they are headed...... You know, the transfer window has already begun, and Kaiserslautern is clearly too far behind the other promotion rivals, they don't want to stay in the second division forever, right? ”

The team's training ground is being renovated, and Ni Tu can't go to training, but he has found a new training location, which is the school's stadium. He occasionally works out on small courts in some of the neighborhoods, and unlike in China, where land is at a premium, there are plenty of empty spaces for residents to practice sports.

Compared with the formal training, Ni Tu's training during the holidays is much less, but this does not mean that he does not work hard, but Ni Tu has noticed the principle of combining work and rest, people need to rest, of course, his so-called rest time is much less than that of other players.

Finally, after a long wait, Kaiserslautern's first team coach was formed, and on June 29, 2009, it was announced that Marco Kurz, who was somewhat obscure, had officially taken over.

The changing era is the soil where heroes can emerge, change is not terrible, change means hope, and the most terrible thing is a pool of stagnant water.
