Chapter 83: Set Sail (1)
Heiko is a little anxious, there are a lot of veteran players in the Jena team, the defender Alex is already 35, Voji is also 33, Voji can still play for a few years, but Alex already has the idea of retiring.
Although the back line of the Jena team has been criticized, Jena, who has no transfer fee, can only find a defender who can be exempted from the visa.
However, visa waivers are not so easy to find, and better defenders Jena either can't afford their salaries, or others don't look down on Jena.
"Where's William?" Although Heiko complained verbally, he didn't really blame Miró, so he promptly asked William, the hero who brought Ye Xin to Jena.
If William brings a player like Ye Xin again, he will probably die of laughter.
It's a pity that Ralph didn't give him that chance.
"Again, there's no news, but Willian has put together a list of players worth buying, as long as there is a little transfer fee" Ralph flipped through the papers in his hand, pulled out Willian's documents and handed them to Heiko.
Haike shook his head, don't think about the transfer fee, although the board of directors of the Jena club did not forcibly sell Ye Xin, most of the directors supported Haike, but there were always individual directors who were dissatisfied.
Jena's lack of transfer fee from now on is the price of keeping Ye Xin, not to mention the German C, even if he is promoted to the German Second Division, of course, if Jena can be promoted to the German Bundesliga, it is another matter, this is the agreement reached by Haike and the club privately.
It's just that he didn't tell anyone else, including Ralph, about it.
After all, it is estimated that some fans will block the door of the club, and if they annoy the directors, they will really sell Ye Xin, and Haike will not have time to cry by then.
"Let's investigate first, it's really not good, just go to the youth team to pick a few defenders to train"
"And what about the next starting lineup?"
"Romy top Saipan, Saipan still can't be tired, the iron bucket formation has a way to crack it, change him to take a break"
"Okay, what about the others?" Ralph had already put pen to paper about Heiko's arrangement.
"If you have any good proposals, you can also talk about it" Haike didn't make a decision immediately, sometimes a word is not a good thing, although the Jena team is mixed in the third-tier league, but the main players plus the youth team also have thirty or forty people, Haike can't take care of it alone.
"Damir has been doing well lately and could try to develop as Alex's successor," Mike said.
Everyone began to put forward their favorite candidates one after another, and now the players of the Jena reserve team are training like crazy, and they have an urgent desire to play the main team, which of course has not escaped the eyes of the coaches.
For a while, Haike actually felt that except for Ye Xinnils and a few other main forces, everyone else could be rotated, is Jena's bench strength so strong?
However, Haike didn't really replace them all, not to mention whether the opponent will continue to use the iron bucket formation in the next game, the first team finally found the feeling of cracking the iron bucket, let's just say that the consequences of the tacit misunderstanding caused by large-scale substitutions are also very serious.
Jena doesn't play any cup games, they don't have any other games to play except for the league, so there are not too many fitness problems, except for a few older players to rest and rest, Heiko still decided to keep the original line-up start.
******
October 1 is China's National Day and the day of the match between Karces Jena and Oberhausen.
The pre-match press conference was similarly uneventful, with few managers willing to provoke Heiko these days, and Oberhausen as their head coach Theo Schneider is now all thinking about how to deal with Jena.
Ordinary offense and defense? I'm sorry, but nine times out of ten, Jena's forward strength will break through your gates, and nine times out of ten your attacks will be ineffective.
Attacking on all fronts? I'm sorry, but the goalkeeper in Jena basically won't give you a chance, and your goalkeeper will basically give Jena a chance.
Defend with all your might? I'm even more sorry, Jena has just figured out how to crack the iron bucket.
Excuse yourself and stop playing, Theo Schneider would love to do it, but unfortunately his sanity is greater than his emotion, so at the moment he has to take his team to the Ernst Abbe Stadium, the home of Jena.
He doesn't expect victory anymore, but what kind of mood is it like to want a draw instead of it? It just made him feel painful.
Although Oberhausen is a team that has been relegated from the Bundesliga, Oberhausen really does not have the confidence to play against Jena.
On the contrary, Jena is full of confidence, especially Nils has been excitedly running around, he is spreading the news of his free kick everywhere, of course, Ye Xin is too lazy to poke him, the night before yesterday's long-range shooting practice, more than 30 shots were actually shot by him with a heavy cannon, and it hung in the dead corner.
Of course, Ye Xin didn't defend, just training, he always had to leave some confidence for his teammates, but he didn't expect Nils to be so stinky that he couldn't do it, and bragged everywhere that he was the first person to break through Ye Xin's door with a long shot.
The rest of the Jena team naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that Ye Xin didn't defend it, they all believed it, and at this time they were surrounding Nils to ask for details.
So in the dressing room before the game, the Jena team was having a braggart game.
Haike didn't stop this state, this is a sign of the player's self-confidence, they don't take the average team in their eyes anymore, of course, self-confidence and underestimating the enemy are two different things, and this kind of thing should not appear if the underestimation of the enemy has its own checks.
As for the tactics and style of play, Haike had already arranged it a few days ago, and nothing had changed except for personnel changes, so at the moment he was also listening to Niels bragging.
Eventually, Ralph came over to inform them that they were ready to enter, and Heiko emphasized a few points of discipline before entering the court with the big guy.
"Let's take a look at today's starting line-up" Bob's voice came out, he didn't look like a mouth-cannon type live host at all now, he seemed to have become a gentleman, and he couldn't hear him anymore.
Of course, Jena's results have blinded him, and Bob is now unsure of how happy Jena is, and Bob, who used to taunt Heiko for not knowing tactics, has become his fan.
Now Haike thinks even if he farts, he thinks it's fragrant.
'There are a couple of new faces in this game, Damir replaced Alex as the starter, he has been a substitute and he should be the first starter, it seems that our manager is going to start promoting new players"
"Alex is really old and needs a break, but man, I'd like to see you with Jena all the way to the top flight."
The fans at the scene immediately stood up and cheered for Alex.
