While having breakfast in the hotel restaurant in the morning, Sumad looked at Yun Sheng.
"Man, you have black circles under your eyes? What did you do last night?"
Yun Sheng yawned: "I didn't get a good rest yesterday."
Sumad looked at no one on the left and right and murmured in a low voice: "Did you do something inappropriate at night? There are too many reporters here. You have to be careful and don't get caught. And you have to pay attention. Personal safety, don’t catch any disease..."
"You're crazy! I really didn't get a good rest at night and didn't do anything!"
"Okay, just tell others this, don't reveal the truth..."
"What the hell," Yun Sheng raised his fork and wanted to poke Sumad, but Sumad dodged it, "Today is my first game coaching Cottbus, so I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night. , how can it be as vulgar as you think!"
"Okay, okay, I believe it..."
"You look like you don't believe it at all!"
Yun Sheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, he was tired...
Because we had communicated with the Bayer Leverkusen club in advance, we would warm up at the Bayer Arena at nine o'clock this morning. So after breakfast, Yun Sheng led all the team members to arrive at the stadium early to warm up.
The warm-up went well and the players were in good condition. We returned to the hotel and took a short rest after lunch. There was still more than an hour left before the game officially started.
It's very close from the hotel to the stadium, and the club bus only takes about fifteen minutes.
Although Yunsheng is the first time to be a head coach, in the past few years, he has played in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 with the former coach Sandel for several years, so he is familiar with the process.
After changing their jerseys and simply tidying up in the locker room, the players came to the court to warm up.
As soon as he walked out of the tunnel, Yun Sheng was stunned by the huge boos.
Although he had heard this kind of booing countless times before, before he was just a member of this team, but now he is the leader and pioneer of this team. All the boos were directed at him, which made Yun Sheng quite uncomfortable.
Looking around the stadium, this stadium, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, is packed with seats. Leverkusen fans are looking forward to their team's first game and a good start to the new Bundesliga season. In a corner of the left stand, thousands of Cottbus fans were already submerged in the sea of Leverkusen people.
Seeing Yun Sheng stop, Sandel behind him whispered: "This kind of booing is normal, you have to get used to it sooner or later."
With that said, Sandel stepped out of the players' tunnel.
At this time, the Leverkusen players were already warming up on the court, and the Cottbus players also ran onto the court and took the time to warm up.
Leverkusen's coach is Michael Skibe, who is watching the players' warm-up from the sidelines.
Seeing Sandel walking out of the tunnel, Skibe walked towards Sandel in a friendly manner and shook hands with him cordially: "I didn't expect that we would meet in the first game of the new season. What a fate. I wish Cottbus all the best in the new season."
Sandel and Skibe knew each other when they were players. After hearing this, he nodded calmly: "Thank you, Skibe. But I think you should tell the coach Cottbus this." It’s more appropriate.”
Skibe was stunned, and then he suddenly remembered that the head coach of Cottbus had been replaced.
It's a bit embarrassing...
Sandel didn't stay too long. He returned to the visiting team's coaching bench and continued to discuss game instructions with the first-team coach.
At this time, Yun Sheng walked towards Skibe and said, "Hello, coach Skibe, it's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice."
Yun Sheng is a newcomer after all, but he still behaves politely and politely.
Skibe was also a little embarrassed. After all, he had recognized the wrong person just now: "Coach Yunsheng, you are able to coach a Bundesliga team under the age of thirty. You are really young and promising."
"It's going to be a good game today."
"That's natural."
The two of them exchanged polite words and then turned around to meet the coaching bench.
The moment Yunsheng turned around, he heard Skibe's assistant coach say: "I'm just a rookie coach. He should win this game easily."
"Don't say that. Although the opponent is very weak, we must be careful not to capsize in the gutter."
Hearing this, Yun Sheng paused for a moment, and then quickly continued towards the visiting team's coaching bench.
The warm-up time ended quickly, and Yun Sheng was the first to return to the locker room.
Looking at Yun Sheng's stepping back, Sumad quickly followed and entered.
Sandel's eyes were complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When the players all came to the locker room, Yun Sheng had already written a lot on the tactical board.
Sumad closed the door of the dressing room, and the noise outside was cut off.
In fifteen minutes, the game is about to begin.
Yun Sheng stood in front of the tactical board. He looked around and felt quite emotional.
Last season, he was Sandel's coach, not even an assistant coach. At that time, he could only sit nearby, listen to Sandel's tactical arrangements, and help Sandel and the players with odd jobs, that's all.
But now, he was standing in front of the players, about to scold Fang Qiu and make final tactical arrangements and mobilization for the players.
Looking at several old players and this summer's new players, Yun Sheng slowly spoke.
"Guys, the new season has finally started, and I can't wait. I know some of you are the same. Last season, at the end of the league, we barely managed to avoid relegation and were very thrilling. In the Bundesliga. But this season, I think we should make some changes."
"This summer we moved away some players, and they went to places that are more suitable for them; and we introduced a number of new players, and the overall strength of the team has obviously improved to a higher level!"
"With the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga last season on the court, our defense is rock solid!"
"With the legendary star Sauer on the court, our team's midfield will be greatly strengthened!"
"With the additions of Adriano and Cassano, our striker strength is definitely among the top in the Bundesliga!"
"And Shaheen, Waksmut, Ipsa... you will all be an important part of Cottbus in the new season!"
"And the veterans of the team who played last season, you are also the treasures of the team!"
"I have high expectations for you in the new Bundesliga season! Our goal for the new season is definitely not relegation! Our goal is to top ten in the league and even qualify for the European competition!"
"Guys, I have full confidence in you. You have the strength to win the game and get a more respectable Bundesliga ranking!"
