Chapter 003: The Basel Troika (Part 2, Ask for Recommendation Tickets, Ask for Collections, Ask for Rewards)
Just when Jiang Chenxi was training and preparing for the new season at home, Dieter. Fischer brought the video to the team's head coach Hirkey. Vogel's office.
The team's training camp for the new season is about to begin, and Vogel has already started his own work, he wants to prepare for the team's tactics and training for the new season. Hasler and technical advisor Dieter. Fischer single-handedly introduced a Chinese striker.
Vogel is a German head coach.
Basel is originally in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, very close to Germany, and has a deep influence on German football, and this Basel club also has a strong imprint of Made in Germany.
In 2009, former Bayern star Fink took over at St. Jacobs, and Basel entered the German coaching era again after 25 years. The last time was when German Benthaus led the team to seven domestic titles in the 70s and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 1973/1974.
After leading Basel to two consecutive Swiss Superliga titles, Fink defected to Hamburg in the summer of 2011, where his assistant Worrall continued Basel's German coaching years, leading Basel to the Swiss Super League title in the just-concluded 2011/2012 season, beating Manchester United in the group stage and beating the Red Devils in the Champions League to qualify for the group. They were a big upset with a 1-0 home win over Bayern Munich in the first leg.
Interestingly, Vogel is also a member of the Bayern Gang, but he has never played for the Bundesliga giants, but after finishing his sports studies, after unsuccessfully applying for a job in Munich 1860, he came to Bayern as an assistant coach in the academy through a teacher's relationship, and then coached Bayern's U10, U13, U15 and U17 youth teams alone, and now Bayern captain Lahm, Muller and Bad Stuber and other Bayern main players are his proud disciples.
Suffice it to say, this is a coach who is very good at discovering and developing young people.
……
Fischer came in when head coach Vogel was talking to manager Kent Brown. Hasler chatted, and when he saw Fischer come in, Hasler smiled and said, "Our chief scout is here, you can ask him if there is anything, that kid is his big baby, he knows best." ”
Fischer smiled and said, "I take your words as a compliment. ”
Vogel smiled, "Dieter, you can talk about it." ”
Fischer said: "Let's watch a video first." ”
Vogel gave Fischer a thumbs up, "What I appreciate most about Dieter is this, everything speaks for itself with facts and figures. ”
Hasler smiled: "Yes, I also changed my mind after watching the video and became interested in this young Chinese striker. ”
……
"Huh! This is a very pure point-grabbing shooter. After watching the video clip of the game for a while, Vogel said in surprise.
"Yes." "I've learned that Jiang was a very technical attacker when he was in Inter Milan's youth team, but after an injury two years ago, he returned to the pitch after a gap of more than a year, and that's what he is playing now. ”
"The technical characteristics of the past don't say anything, the important thing is the present." Vogel said.
Then, he watched the video of the game with a serious expression.
Fischer didn't speak, let alone introduce anything, he was familiar with Vogel, knew that the other party liked to think quietly, with his own eyes and feelings to discover the characteristics of the player, and then to consider and position the player in his heart.
……
After watching the game, Vogel nodded and said, "It is indeed a pure point-grabbing shooter, almost all of his goals come from inside the penalty area, and he mainly grabs points in front of the goal, and his ability to seize opportunities is good." ”
'He was in Foggia and joined the team midway through the first half of the season and scored 51 goals in 27 games, setting a single-season record for goals scored in Italy's third division. Fischer said.
Vogel showed a surprised expression, although he did not look at the level of the Italian third division, but he was able to score 51 goals in 27 games, which is also a terrifying goal rate, which is still somewhat convincing.
"The level of the Italian Serie C is limited." Fischer took the initiative to say, "However, this can also be seen in the talent of Laijiang, he has a strong ability to take chances in front of goal, although in the Swiss Super League, he will be more tightly limited, it is impossible to have as many opportunities as in Foggia, but, the problem is ......"
……
'The problem is that Basel is not the same as Foggia and we are able to create more scoring chances. "Even if he is closely watched, as long as he can take some of those opportunities, even if he scores a tenth of what he scored in his first season at Foggia, this deal will not be a loss." ”
A tenth is five balls.
For a young man under the age of 20, if he can score five goals in his rookie season with a big club like Basel, it is difficult to call it very good, but at least it is qualified.
……
Fischer secretly praised the cooperation of his old partner Hasler, but he obviously has more confidence in Jiang Chenxi, "I think that as long as he gets more playing time, Jiang may even score double goals in the new season." ”
On the double, that's at least ten.
Hasler glanced at Fischer in surprise, he knew that Fischer was very optimistic about Jiang Chenxi, but he didn't expect him to have so much confidence in Jiang Chenxi.
If Jiang Chenxi can score more than ten goals in Basel's first season, Basel's investment can fully see the 'benefits', a young shooter who scores more than ten goals in his debut season will definitely not be worth one million euros, at least three or five million euros, and considering the youth and future potential, the value may continue to rise.
Just, is this possible?
……
Vogel smiled, "You two are singing and harmonizing, are you afraid that I won't give this young man a chance?" ”
Fischer and Hassler both laughed.
Fischer, as the person who discovered and strongly advocated the introduction of Jiang Chenxi, naturally hoped that Jiang Chenxi could get more playing time and perform better and better.
As the manager of the club, Hasler also hopes that the young people brought in by the team will get more opportunities to play after spending the transfer fee, and if Jiang Chenxi can make good progress, this investment will be benign, which will also become a bright spot in his work performance.
Of course, Hawky. Vogel is the head coach of the team, he is the one who really has the decision-making power to use the players, whether it is Fischer or Hasler, he can only beat the side drum and give his own suggestions, and the person who finally decides how to use Jiang Chenxi can only be Vogel.
For more than a year, Warger, Hasler and Fischer have been called the new troika of Basel after the previous head coach Fink, Hasler and Fisher, and the cooperation between the three has been relatively pleasant.
……
"I'll think about it." Vogel pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give him a certain amount of playing time and opportunities, but if he doesn't grasp it, he'll only be able to go to the second team and be with that North Korean." ”
The North Koreans in his mouth are the young goalscorer Park Kwang-ryong introduced by Basel from the North Korean domestic league machine car club, only nineteen years old this year, who has been in Basel for more than a year, and played for Basel's youth team last season, and his performance was not bad, but he still could not win the approval of Warger, in the eyes of Warger, Park Kwang-ryong still could not meet the requirements of the first team in the new season, and would be promoted from the youth team to the Basel reserve team.
……
Fischer breathed a sigh of relief, just give him a chance, what he was most worried about was that Volger didn't look down on Jiang Chenxi, so he threw him directly into the reserves.
Now it seems that maybe Jiang Chenxi's strength has not been able to meet Volger's requirements, but Volger still has an appreciation and certain recognition of Jiang Chenxi's strength and technical characteristics, and is willing to give Jiang Chenxi a chance.
Hassler was also happy that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.
What they want to fight for is for the head coach to give the team the opportunity to spend transfer fees on new signings, as for whether Jiang Chenxi can grasp this opportunity, it depends on Jiang Chenxi, as the direct decision-maker who advocates the introduction of Jiang Chenxi, there is only so much they can do.
