Chapter 051: Press Conference
After Kaisa's injury, the Grasshoppers didn't have a good game, and against Schaffhausen, they settled the fight at the last minute.
Menezes and Roglio, two foreign players, combined to score the only goal in the 89th minute. Menezes assisted, and Roglio lifted his shirt after scoring a goal, which was printed with Kaysa's number and "Come back quickly!" Chinese characters.
expressed their support and miss Kaisa. After Kaisa saw it, his hairs stood up, is this a confession? It's scary.
On November 7, the Grasshoppers played against St. Gallen, the team lost unexpectedly, and Stefan sleepwalked all over the field, being hit by the opponent's key blows, and did not withstand the pressure.
After the game against the St. Gallen team, the media received news that Kaisa's injury had recurred and his return was delayed.
On November 14, the Grasshoppers drew with NeuchΓ’tel on the road, and they did not have the appearance of a championship team, as if they were relegation teams.
After three rounds, the Grasshoppers won one win, drew one and lost one, and only scored 4 points in three games, and were once again surpassed by Basel by a few points, and shared with the Thun team, ranking second by goal difference.
However, the goal difference advantage is only one, and the second place position is in jeopardy. In the next league game, the Grasshoppers will face Thun, a direct rival, and if they lose, they will fall directly to third place.
It could also be overtaken by Zurich, who is now fourth. The city's rivals have been on a strong momentum lately, winning 2 games in a row and drawing only 1 game, and their points have risen rapidly.
Grasshopper fans were dissatisfied, and there were already protests from fans, and there were even boos at home games. Latour was under a lot of pressure.
At this time, the media also revealed the news that Kaisa was injured because Stefan deliberately injured him in training, and Kaisa didn't bother with Stefan for the sake of the overall situation of the team. All the focus suddenly focused on Stefan, who wanted to get under the bed at home and save himself from facing the media.
Stefan has not put up a convincing performance in recent games, and not only the media attention, but also the fans have started booing him. Stefan wants to succeed, he wants to get attention, but it's definitely not that kind of attention. For Kaisa's foot, he was deliberate and selfish, and now it's too late to regret it, Kaisa's influence in the media is not comparable to him.
Fortunately, in the second round of the Swiss Cup, the Grasshopper team was lucky to pass with a penalty kick and advanced to the third round, and the media scolded less, otherwise the Grasshopper team would have been sprayed to death by the fans. Latour is missing Kaisa, and suddenly he can't arrange troops, what the hell.
The grasshopper team is not in good condition, and the atmosphere in the team is also very solemn, and Stefan's every move feels like someone is watching, which is very uncomfortable. Latour wanted to adjust the atmosphere in the team, but he didn't know how to do it.
In the past, the Grasshopper team was very low-key, and there were not many media reports, but now there are more Kaisa, and the media reports have suddenly increased, especially in Huaxia, they also have a considerable reputation.
Now there is a problem in the team, everyone is inexperienced, and they don't know how to do a good job of crisis public relations, and let the problem ferment.
Compared to the Grasshoppers, Thun is morale-high, sharpening his knives, ready to take advantage of the victory to chase and surpass the Grasshoppers in the standings.
Before the game started, the Grasshoppers were already in decline, how could a team with internal chaos win against Team Thun? Wait to lose!
At this time, Kaisa asked for the club's consent and suddenly held a press conference. It immediately attracted a lot of media attendance. At the critical moment of the team's internal and external troubles, and the day before the game against the Thun team, the timing was very special and must have attracted attention.
Kaisa is smiling and accompanied by club officials, along with his agent, Sundel.
"Thank you all for coming. Today we have a press conference to clarify the recent remarks about the team. Kaisa said indifferently, "I have an ankle injury that has attracted the attention of countless fans and media, and many fans have greeted me, including my teammates, who have come to visit me, and I am very grateful." β
"Recently, the team has not performed well enough to satisfy all the fans, I understand the feelings of the fans and friends, I support the swimming, I definitely hope that it will be invincible, but that is impossible, all the teams have ups and downs. It's just that the Grasshoppers' form has slipped and it happened to collide with my absence. β
"I'm sure we'll bounce back and win more games and give the best games to the fans." Kai Sa said a little emotionally, the speed of his speech was not fast, everyone could hear it clearly, the media were moved, only to hear Kai Sa continue, "There are media in the outside world interpreting my injury, I think I want to clarify it in particular." β
'Mr. Stefan and I had a collision at the training ground and then I injured my ankle and everyone thought he was deliberately hurting me, but I don't think he did it on purpose. We're pros and he's got a lot of professionalism to not do that kind of thing and I trust my team-mates. β
"So, I hope the media and the fans don't over-interpret and don't get angry with Mr. Stefan, he's a good guy and we don't have any problems with each other. We all have the same goal, which is to help the team. β
"I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, the Grasshoppers will get better and better, win the game, win the championship. Thank you! β
The reporters and fans at the scene spontaneously applauded, and Kaisa's statement was simply the standard answer, flashing with a strange light.
The reporters of Milan Sports and Torino Sports kept nodding, "Stefan used to compete with Kaisa for the deputy position in the team, and now he can still speak for his rivals, isn't this the best candidate for captain?" β
Undoubtedly, Kaisa's actions have greatly improved his status among the media and fans, who doesn't love someone who dedicates to the team and takes the overall situation into account?
Sandel is very satisfied, this is the solution he came up with after discussing with Kaisa, when the team is worried about internal and external troubles, the parties come out to clarify, which can definitely cause discussion and win the favor of fans.
Huaxia fans were very excited, "Okay, this is our player." β
"Based on today's statement, I will be a fan for life."
"Apologies for my previous remarks about Hei Kaisa, I decided to turn black into a fan."
Club officials are more satisfied, Kaisa's statement is very timely, not only to dispel the doubts of the outside world at a critical moment, but also to improve the morale of the team, at least when playing the Thun team, at least do not have to bear psychological pressure.
Kaisa and Sandel looked at each other and smiled, they both meant the same thing, "you are famous", Kaisa is famous, and Sandel is also famous.
Sandel is now only a third-rate agent, with a mediocre influence in Europe, and can only sign potential players, and Kaisa is already his biggest client. So taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them jointly planned this press conference to enhance each other's reputation.
When Latour heard about Kaisa, he was greatly relieved, and he thought that Kaisa had let go of his hatred and no longer had trouble with Stefan.
At this time, I decompressed the team, and I deserved to be the third captain of the team, and I was not wrong. I also went back and told Stefan to learn more from Kaisa and repay grievances with virtue.
At the beginning of the last training session, Kaisa showed up at the training ground and found Latour, "Coach, I think I can live with an ankle injury, please send me on the field." β
'I'm going to help the team, I'm going to get through it with the team.' Kai was so loud and moving that all the players heard it.
They quickly gathered around and applauded Kaisa's statement, they were unconsciously shocked by Kaisa, this is the captain of the team, leading by example, and minor injuries are not in the line of fire.
