Chapter 016 - No Incoming Calls and High Efficiency (Part 1)
Basel's first warm-up match was against Swiss Liga side Lugano.
The competition was held at the training ground of the Babyby training base.
To be exact, this is a teaching match, not an official one: it is not open to the public, but only to a select group of fans and journalists who have been holding season tickets for a long time.
Basel is the leader of the Swiss Super League, and has won the Super League three times in a row, and this game is the first warm-up match of the new season in Basel, which has attracted a lot of media attention in Switzerland.
They all want to see how Basel, who have won three consecutive titles, are doing right now.
……
However, in addition to Swiss journalists, there were also many journalists from China who came to the training ground.
Since the start of public training on the third day of the training camp, there are many Chinese reporters at the Babi training base every day, which has also become a peculiar spectacle of the Babi training base, and even attracted the attention of some Swiss media.
At first, Basel fans and Swiss journalists were surprised and curious about the gathering of Chinese journalists, but gradually, everyone got used to it.
……
Previously, in Basel's first open training session, Jiang Chenxi scored twice in the training match and performed well, which was reported in detail by Chinese reporters such as Zhong Dajun and Yi Fan.
Yi Fan's article was so in-depth that he even mentioned the Basel Zeitung columnist David Murphy. Zahavi's questioning of Jiang Chenxi specifically mentioned the reporter's assertion that Jiang Chenxi could not gain a foothold in the first team. Then, Yi Fan described Jiang Chenxi's wonderful goal in the training match, he described the words and expressions of the Basel fans, and the reactions of the people around him from the perspective of a bystander, and finally he used a photo of Jiang Chenxi's Egyptian teammate Salah giving him a thumbs up.
This report was very popular with fans and readers, and Jiang Chenxi slapped David in the face with an outstanding performance. Zahavi, this kind of thing is really nice to see and it makes people feel uplifted.
……
Zhong Dajun wrote a sub-report, in which he focused on the changes in the attitude of the team and his teammates towards him after Jiang Chenxi's outstanding performance. Hasler applauded Jiang Chenxi's goal, and the team's chief scout, Dieter. Fischer's smug smile on the captain Alexander. Frey's appreciation and encouragement, fans asked Jiang Chenxi for autographs, etc., and finally, Zhong Dajun used a photo of Jiang Chenxi and Egyptian teammate Salah hugging and spinning in a circle to celebrate after training......
The report was also very popular.
The articles of these two reporters have the same characteristics, they do not directly describe Jiang Chenxi's performance, and focus on the evaluation and attitude of the people around them towards Jiang Chenxi, which is very appealing to the appetite of the Chinese people, and it is also very convincing.
The two reports complement each other, very good, originally this building is very upright, but ......
……
However, there is no shortage of talented people on the Internet, and these people's focus is on two photos of two articles.
In the first photo, Salah smiled happily and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Chenxi, who also smiled, looking at each other.
In the second photo, Jiang Chenxi hugged his Egyptian teammates and circled in place, his smile was so bright.
Two photos are put together, and the comment army is coming quickly.
……
"Handsome! I'm talking about the two of them! ”
"Look at each other and smile, everything is silent."
"You have me in your eyes, and I have you in my eyes."
"The happiest thing is that when I'm happy, I can hold you in circles."
"Is it just me who thinks that the two of them have a story in their eyes?"
"Together!"
"Seconded."
"Poof! Upstairs, you've got enough. ”
"Yes, you rotten girls, as for you, huh...... Jiang Chenxi is mine.
……
When Zhong Dajun and Yi Fan heard their domestic colleagues can't help but mention the comments on the Internet, they all have a 'day dog' expression, good positive energy, good news reports, Lou turned out to be like this.
Of course, the two also know that this is a boring self-talk of fans and netizens, just talking, nothing.
It's just that when they watched the training at the Babi training base later, the two of them saw that Jiang Chenxi and Salah really had a pretty good relationship, the two young men talked and laughed, except for the different training groups, they were almost inseparable, the two held back their laughter, and almost held back internal injuries, if Jiang Chenxi knew those comments on the Internet, he would jump up in anger.
Not only the two of them, but other Chinese reporters are not idle, they have a comprehensive report on Jiang Chenxi, Jiang Chenxi lives in an apartment arranged by the club, there is a small court downstairs in the apartment, Jiang Chenxi will get up early in the morning to practice, Jiang Chenxi and Egypt teammate Salah have a really good relationship, go to the canteen to eat together, Jiang Chenxi will take Salah's second-hand Beetle to the training base together, the two of them are still neighbors in the apartment......
……
It can be said that Jiang Chenxi's every move in Basel can attract a lot of attention and reading.
The bits and pieces of daily training and life have made domestic fans very happy.
finally ushered in a warm-up game, and everyone was naturally looking forward to it even more.
No matter how good you are in training, it is not as convincing as your performance in a game, even if it is just a warm-up game.
……
In this game, Jiang Chenxi's good friend Salah got the chance to start.
Salah's greatest characteristic is his pace, and as a winger, he is able to repeatedly break through on the flanks and send crosses.
It's just that he doesn't seem to be on the same track as his teammates, and his crosses are repeatedly wasted, either his teammates are wasted, or his crosses are there, and his teammates don't run to the position, or his teammates run to the position, and his ball hasn't arrived yet, anyway, it's not at the same point.
On the sidelines, Basel coach Hawky. Vogel frowned, he admired Salah, the Egyptian's speed, technique, dribbling and breakthrough are not possessed by other players, with such a player, Basel's offensive means will be more abundant and sharp.
He was quite satisfied with Salah's own performance.
However, seeing that Salah and his teammates were repeatedly not on the same channel, Vogel was a little anxious.
……
Shortly after the start of the second half, Salah was replaced by Stokel, who delivered five penetrating crosses in the first half, but could not really threaten Lugano's goal, and he and his team-mates up front did not call, or more directly, they did not call him, and failed to live up to his passes.
Almost at the same time that Salah was replaced, Jiang Chenxi was also replaced.
He played 35 minutes and had a shot hit the post and one shot was blocked by his opponent's arm to create a penalty.
Although he did not score, Jiang Chenxi's performance was remarkable.
……
It's just that the head coach on the sidelines, Vogel, has a solemn and thoughtful expression.
His assistant Mutra. Yakin held his notebook and whispered in his ear, "Three shots, one post, one penalty and one saved by the goalkeeper." ”
"Jiang only has these three real chances." Vogel asked.
"Yes." Yakin nodded, "Maybe the other players are not familiar with his characteristics, they haven't been able to send more dangerous passes, and there is not enough tacit understanding between him and his teammates. ”
"Jiang's efficiency is very high." Yakin added, with amazement and appreciation in his words.
Vogel nodded noncommittally and said nothing more.
