Chapter 0003: System Startup

Once he illuminated these two options, a series of other options immediately dimmed.

When stepping out onto the balcony, one can just see the afterglow of the setting sun

It is estimated that if it were not for the strict regulations imposed by the Football Association, the youth team would have been disbanded long ago

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Cheng understands very well that he should choose "Transfer Evaluation" and "Match Preparation"

Certainly, if the grades are poor, then any discussion is futile

Upon seeing this window, Yang Cheng was momentarily taken aback, followed by a surge of delight

Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, but he truly did not want to continue being entangled.

Tim was taken aback, "Why?"

Welcome to the Super Coach Assistance System

Yang Cheng gazed into Tim's eyes, hesitated for a moment, then took it over and gulped it down, finishing it completely; he was indeed feeling a bit thirsty

After firmly embracing the belief of perseverance, Yang Cheng resolutely chose "yes"

"Do you need more?" Tim asked with concern

Yang Cheng sat in the rattan chair on the balcony, feeling quite troubled. He even worried that if he did not resolve this issue, it would likely haunt him forever, much like a vengeful spirit in a nightmare

At that moment, his mind could think of nothing else but this thing

In his view, life is about continuously trying new things and taking risks; only then does life have meaning and one can live it to the fullest

If Yang Cheng successfully avoids relegation, in addition to his salary, Krovna must also take the initiative to leave Chemnitz; otherwise, Yang Cheng will not receive his salary for this season

"Where are you going?" Yang Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, the information in Yang Cheng's mind flickered once again

For Yang Cheng, the most urgent matter at present is to strengthen the strength of the Chemnitz youth team, which necessitates new signings. Therefore, transfer evaluations become very important, as he lacks funds

I once thought that if I achieved success outside and returned to my hometown, I could serve the local team and help it out of its current predicament. However, at this point, I must admit that I was overly idealistic

Forget it, if I have to die, then so be it. After all, it's all about traversing different worlds. Who knows, maybe after I die, I will traverse to another world. At worst, I can live again. In 18 years, I will be a good man once more

Match preparation involves assisting the head coach in analyzing the opponent's formations and tactics prior to the match, identifying weaknesses and strengths, and implementing targeted tactical arrangements. During the match, ongoing analysis is conducted based on the current situation to aid the head coach in making real-time decisions. After the match, a summary is provided to help the head coach gain insights from the experience.

You are awake, that's wonderful

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Cheng chose "yes" without any hesitation

Unknowingly, another day is coming to an end

As the first user of this auxiliary system, you can immediately activate 2 features. Please choose: [Transfer Evaluation] / [Tactical Analysis] / [Staff Recommendation] / [Rating Report] / [Match Preparation] ... ...

I... I no longer have any expectations, but you still do. You should leave here! Tim turned around and said with a bitter smile.

Going to West Germany is also a viable option, but first of all, there is already a large number of East German football talents moving to West Germany, and in addition, West Germany itself has a considerable number of football talents. If Yang Cheng goes there, he may not necessarily have the opportunity. It would be better to stay in Chemnitz, accumulate a season's worth of coaching experience first, and then consider other options.

Additionally, there are some other options. Yang Cheng reviewed them, and all are auxiliary skills set for the head coach

In the past, when he played FM Football Manager, he often used the scouting tool to search for players. Nowadays, he suspects that the search function of this super coach assistant system is similar to FM's scouting tool, and it allows him to search for players from all over the world

Closing my eyes, the information window in my mind becomes exceptionally clear, and the options of "yes" and "no" are also very distinct

After approximately ten seconds, the scrollbar completed, and a rectangular window appeared, displaying several messages in succession.

How to choose

"Why are you being so polite!" Tim said with a smile as he sat down opposite Yang Cheng

For him at present, employee recommendations are virtually useless, as he has no authority to sign any employees. Not to mention scouts or fitness coaches, he cannot even manage an assistant, so this option was immediately discarded by him

Yang Cheng stared blankly at Tim's back, who stood by the window gazing into the distance. There lay a rudimentary stadium with its outer walls painted sky blue, which was also the home ground of Chemnitz.

In no time, a long list of player names and some statistics appeared before him, and when Yang Cheng saw the name at the top, he was immediately taken aback, as he was very familiar with this player

Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, thank you!"

In a situation where the first team is struggling to sustain itself, who will still pay attention to the youth team

Yang Cheng looked at the German youth who seemed to be quite nice to him, feeling a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a topic to discuss and hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

What is going on with this information window again

Tim over there, seeing that Yang Cheng did not speak, thought that this old classmate was blaming him in his heart, which made him quite uncomfortable

Other functions are not to say that they are useless; in fact, each function has a significant role. However, the key issue is that these functions are not what Yang Cheng urgently needs at the moment

Due to the ongoing collection of complete global player data, currently, it is only possible to search for players within a radius of 50 kilometers. Would you like to proceed with the search

He pondered for a long time but could not come up with an answer. In the end, he felt that Yang Cheng stayed only because of him, which instantly filled his heart with deep emotion. Looking at Yang Cheng, his eyes revealed intense feelings.

It is estimated that due to the vast amount of data, so far, it has only been possible to search for players within the local circular area. However, given time, it is entirely feasible to identify talents from all over the world. By then, even if one cannot become a head coach, one could easily make a living as a scout or an agent.

Uh... you cook first, I'm hungry!" Yang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine; he was bewildered by how Tim's gaze had suddenly changed, as if he were about to swallow him whole. Startled, he quickly made his escape

When Yang Cheng focused his consciousness on these options, some annotations immediately appeared

At first glance, tactical analysis seems to have a significant impact; however, he always feels that it is not particularly useful at present. As a time traveler, he is well aware of the trends in the development of tactical formations. As long as he grasps this point and applies the overall tactics of the coming years, it will not be difficult to cope with the currently loose tactical systems.

Currently, Chemnitz is struggling in the 2. Bundesliga, lacking both financial resources and personnel. Although it appears to have a strong lineup, Coach Hübner has brought in several players from his former club, the East German flagship team Dynamo Dresden, this season. However, how much fighting power can be developed through this integration remains uncertain to anyone.

Yang Cheng woke up for quite a while, and at this moment felt a bit more comfortable all over, with better control over his body. He got out of bed, moved his limbs a bit, and said with a smile, "Don't you think this is a very interesting challenge?"

This season, the Chemnitz II team should be competing in the Northern Regional League, right? Yang Cheng inquired, if his information from his previous life is correct, this should be the 4th level of the German league, a regional amateur league that was reinstated in 1994

After a silence of about a few minutes, Tim suddenly coughed and said, "Ahem, Yang Cheng, I am very sorry, I ..."

Yes, last year we were also in the Northern Premier League, but we did not win a single match. We were the only team without a victory, managing to earn points through a few draws. We were able to avoid relegation largely due to our competitors suffering financial collapses and being deducted points; otherwise, we would have been relegated long ago.

Another key point is how to achieve victory in the competition. When tactical issues are not significant, the preparation before and after the match becomes particularly crucial, making the preparation for the competition urgent

Undoubtedly, these skills are very useful. After reviewing them, Yang Cheng's anticipation for this super coaching assistance system quickly increased. He began to carefully consider how to select the skills, as he understood that once chosen, they could not be changed.

"Forget it, Yang Cheng. The bet is merely a pretext for Kefu Na to make things difficult for you. There is no need for you to take it seriously. Listen to me, leave this place and go west. You will surely be able to showcase your talents there" Tim advised kindly.

The purpose of transfer evaluation is to assess the possibility of a player's transfer and the transfer fee demanded by the opposing club, while also determining the ideal price point envisioned by the other party when selling a player

As for the analysis of player characteristics, it is indeed useful, but it is not the most urgent matter at present

From the perspective of someone who has traversed through lifetimes, Yang Cheng felt that he would not suffer any losses from this bet. The reason was simple: he was merely a university graduate with theoretical knowledge but no practical experience. Krovna was essentially providing him with a season's worth of practical experience. If he performed well, it would also serve as a credential for future job changes.

Should the "Super Coach Assistance System" be activated immediately

Tim stared in astonishment at Yang Cheng, finding it difficult to comprehend Yang Cheng's decision. In his view, many people left Chemnitz and East Germany without a second thought, yet Yang Cheng, when faced with such difficulties, resolutely chose to stay. What could be the reason for this?

"Go to the West!" Tim stood up, "The salaries are higher over there, the benefits are better, and the environment is countless times better than here. With your talent, along with your A-level coaching certificate, you can definitely find a better job there, instead of continuing to endure hardships in Chemnitz"

It must be said that the dormitory provided by Chemnitz is quite good, a two-bedroom apartment with a living room. Although it is rented, it is much better than the rental accommodations from Yang Cheng's previous life, and it even has a balcony

Oh heavens, since you have brought me to this place, I should be grateful to you. I had desperately wanted to go abroad, and now that I am truly abroad, I will not give up. I must succeed!

There are some words that Tim really found difficult to express, "In any case, I am very sorry, truly sorry. I have thought about it for a long time. Since this has happened, why don't you just leave for now?"

Yang Cheng is a bachelor; a bachelor is someone who, as long as he does not starve to death, will not suffer any losses

Then, a selection appears, allowing one to choose whether to rank by name or by potential, along with a series of other rankings, such as age, practical ability, and so on

Yang Cheng shook his head vigorously upon hearing this, saying, "No, I will not leave, Tim. At least I do not plan to leave for the time being"

Moreover, he is only 23 years old and still has time to try.

Yang Cheng was a person of great loyalty in his previous life, which is why he was deeply loved and supported by the players when he led the FX University team. Hearing Tim say this now, he felt somewhat moved, especially since he was still thinking about the bet with Reinhardt Krovna.

Tactical analysis involves examining the current lineup of the team, conducting a tactical assessment, and providing feasibility analyses for various strategies. It focuses on analyzing the characteristics and abilities of each player, assisting the head coach in formulating tactical formations that can better leverage the players' strengths

The Berlin Wall fell, and the East German teams merged into the West German league. Dresden, which was hailed as the pride of the German Democratic Republic, was utterly defeated in the Bundesliga, while Chemnitz found it exceedingly difficult to even secure its place in the 2. Bundesliga. All of this is something my father... he could neither see nor anticipate!

As soon as Tim Hank saw Yang Cheng, he immediately ran over with a smile, looking at him with concern, "It's just a little bruise on your face, it's nothing, it will fade away after a while!"

In an instant, he could feel as if his mind had transformed into a computer desktop, slowly initiating a program. A progress bar was displaying the status, while below it was showing the information being read, including player data, staff data, and a series of other data.

Then, with a chuckle, he walked away, poured a glass of water from the nearby table, and handed it to Yang Cheng, saying, "Have a sip of water first"

Challenge? Tim was taken aback; his character was quite honest and straightforward, and he was a somewhat conservative and rigid German.

It is precisely for this reason that the Chemnitz II team has been recognized by the outside world this season as one of the teams that has already secured a relegation spot in the Northern Premier League.

As he observed Tim's shoulders twitch slightly, Yang Cheng's memory immediately recalled that Tim's father had passed away before the reunification of East and West Germany. Influenced by his father, Tim only pursued football during his university years, and after graduation, he resolutely turned down lucrative offers from several clubs in West Germany to return to play for his hometown team

The rating report assesses players based on their abilities and playing habits, including their positions, as well as evaluations of their strengths and weaknesses, to facilitate the head coach in better selecting the players they need

Yang Cheng, out of habit, chose the potential ranking

Taking a deep breath, even from behind, Yang Cheng could clearly perceive Tim's excitement.

Indeed, when everyone believes that the Chemnitz II team is destined for relegation, if I can lead this team to safety, wouldn't that perfectly validate my coaching abilities? When everyone thinks we cannot succeed, I usually feel that this is a rare opportunity

Employee recommendation, as the name suggests, refers to the recommendation of specific outstanding employees.

Then a prompt appeared immediately after.

However, the reality is significantly different from what he envisioned, a problem that countless university students encounter, whether in Germany or China, whether in 1995 or 2011, without exception

Currently, the overall environment in Germany does not place significant emphasis on youth training, with the teams in East Germany being even less attentive to this matter

I have been brought to this stadium by my father since I was young to watch matches. He has been a fan of Chemnitz his entire life. From a very young age, I vowed to be loyal to the sky-blue Chemnitz. My father once said that when I grew up, I should learn football and lead Chemnitz to victory. However...
