In this game, Jiang Chen's performance was not bad, he was very active, and he was the best player in the Napoli team.

However, Jiang Chen did not score today, but only sent an assist.

It seems that Jiang Chen is still a little unfamiliar with the Napoli team, and the fans of the Napoli team still have to give Jiang Chen more time.

However, at this time, there were voices questioning Jiang Chen from the outside world, they thought that Jiang Chen would definitely not perform too well in the European competition, he couldn't even handle a team like Graz, what kind of Champions League would he play?

Fortunately, such a voice is not loud, after all, Jiang Chen has only arrived in the Napoli team, and he has the current performance, which is actually very good, and if Jiang Chen is given a little more time, Jiang Chen will already have a better performance, and the fans of the Napoli team are very convinced of this.

Jiang Chen didn't take these things to heart, he was still preparing according to his own requirements.

Joining a new team does need to be run-in, of course, Jiang Chen also knows that his current state has not been adjusted to the best, as long as he adjusts his state well, he will have a better performance.

Napoli unexpectedly lost to Graz by surprise.

However, Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri did not pay much attention to the result of this game, and this season's warm-up game is for the players to warm up to find the form and rhythm of the game, and the result is actually not very important.

Of course, it's best if you can warm up and find your form and win.

At the moment, the players of the Napoli team are not really in good form and Maurizio Sarri hopes to give them more time and hope that they can get back into form as soon as possible.

Next, the whole Napoli team did not leave Austria, but went directly to Vienna, the capital of Austria, where Napoli and Vienna Rapid had a warm-up match.

This is Napoli's last warm-up game abroad this season, and after this warm-up game, Napoli will return to China to start preparing for this year's official competition.

Jiang Chen followed the Napoli team to Vienna, where the Napoli team will stay for three days, and the Napoli team is training here to prepare for this quick match with Vienna.

At this time, the Napoli club updated the news again, and the Napoli team brought in the striker Malcolm of the French club Bordeaux.

Because this year's team has gone Berneri and Milik, and only one Jiang Chen has been scored, so the forward line is a little weak, and Mertens and Callejon are getting old, so Professor Sarri has brought in the young Malcolm as a reserve force for the team.

Malcolm performed well in the first division last season, helping the team to win the French Cup against Paris.

However, Malcolm is unlikely to come to Austria, Malcolm is now in Naples, training with the reserve team and the youth team, waiting for the Napoli team to return to China, Malcolm will train with the Napoli first team to participate in the international Champions Cup.

The International Champions Cup is a game before the season to test the strength of the Napoli team, and the Napoli team still attaches great importance to this game, and there are UEFA club ranking points to get.

At this time, Jiang Chen is naturally training hard, striving to integrate into the Napoli team as soon as possible, after all, the new season is about to start, and it is necessary to integrate into the team at this time, otherwise the new season will be troublesome.

In these days, Jiang Chen and the players of the Napoli team have mixed quite well.

Jiang Chen and Hamsik and Mertens in the Napoli team are the best mixed, because there is more cooperation between the three of them in training, and they often talk about tactics and coordination together, so the relationship between the three is very good.

In Jiang Chen's view, Hamsik is actually a very rational and calm person, no wonder this guy became the core of the midfield of the Napoli team and became the captain of the Napoli team at a very young age.

Mertens, on the other hand, is an emotional person who does a lot of things according to his ideas, so he often has some amazing work in games, and he will be called an artist on the pitch.

Mertens feels very familiar with Jiang Chen, the two can talk very well, and they have a very good impression of Jiang Chen, and the two can also cooperate together in the game, which makes the relationship between the two even further.

Of course, Sarri can see that there is a tacit understanding between Jiang Chen and Mertens, but the state of Jiang Chen and Mertens does make Sarri a little worried, in these warm-up games, Jiang Chen is not bad, after all, he is a newcomer who has just joined the team, and it is understandable that he is not outstanding.

But Mertens' poor performance made him a little incomprehensible, in these warm-up games, Mertens was really in too bad shape, basically did not play, which gave Sarri a headache.

The new season is about to start, and these two main strikers have not found their form, which is really worrying.

Under such circumstances, Napoli ushered in a warm-up match with Rapid Vienna in Vienna, which was also the last overseas warm-up match for Napoli before the new season.

Jiang Chen started in this game, this is the first time Jiang Chen started in the warm-up game, Jiang Chen and Mertens started together, this is the forward combination of the Napoli team in the new season and even in the next few years.

Napoli fans, as well as Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri, are looking forward to the combination.

Once the game began, Napoli naturally dominated the pitch and quickly suppressed Vienna in their own half, creating plenty of chances for the Napoli players.

Jiang Chen got three chances to shoot in the first half of the game, and one chance was very good, but unfortunately Jiang Chen's close push shot actually hit the goal post and popped up the bottom line, this opportunity is indeed a pity.

In the first half of the game, Jiang Chen was a supporting role, he was playing a supporting role for Mertens, Jiang Chen fed Mertens many times, but Mertens was in a really bad state, wasting Jiang Chen's several very good passes and wasting Jiang Chen's assists.

The performance of the two strikers did not really reassure Maurizio Sarri, but fortunately in the first half, Alan and Zielinski performed well, and the two scored a goal each in the game to extend the score to two, and Napoli led Rapid Vienna by two goals in the first half.
