Chapter 352: The Lion Leads the Sheep
With Ye Shin's return, everything seems to be back to normal, but as the date of the third round of the German Cup is getting closer, the atmosphere around is getting hotter.
Jena itself is not a very big city, but almost everyone is talking about this big war these days, yes, it's a big war, how many years, Jena didn't even survive the first round of the third round of the German Cup.
Now just by crossing that hurdle, Jena will be in the quarter-finals.
The quarterfinals, God forbid, don't talk about it before, it's something you can't even think about.
And now not to mention the discussion, many people are already speculating about Jena's opponent in the next German Cup, what is Hannover 96, and Dortmund will not fall under Jena's iron hooves?
Now that the whole city of Jena is looking forward to this match, and this round of the match is being held at the Ernst Abbe Stadium, the home stadium of Jena, the enthusiasm of the people is almost ignited, the tickets have already been pre-sold, and the fans who have not bought tickets have also organized, some have decided to watch the big screen TV broadcast outside the stadium, and some have decided to nest in a specific bar.
But time is not something you say you want to hurry over, everyone's inner expectation is always to find someone to talk to, so every day after work, a large number of people start to party, football, which was once limited to fan groups in Jena, has finally become a family thing.
And the initiator of all this is the Carl Zeiss Jena team.
……
"Jena won't stop winning, the match against Aachen didn't affect Jena's morale and my teammates are looking forward to the next match against Hannover."
"But Mr. Weber, are you sure that your current confidence does not come from the return of Ye, the match between Jena and Aachen was a complete defeat not long ago."
Since Jena suffered his first defeat in the Bundesliga, Heiko has not spoken out in front of the media, although he likes to speak to others, but he is absolutely unacceptable to be poisoned.
But this is what he has been like this for the past year, he used to be cheeky enough to come out and cater to a few words no matter how he lost, and now he almost forgot the feeling of losing.
But reporters don't care if you like to listen to it or not, they are eager to stir up disputes, so after Haike reappeared in the pre-game press conference, the reporters did not leave him with any affection.
Only this time Haike did not start debating with reporters as usual, he just skimmed the topic a little, and then began to answer very officially.
This disappointed the reporters present, and now there are many topics in Jena that are stirred up by the mouth cannon coach in front of them, for this kind of coach who has no cover on the mouth, the reporters don't mention how much they like it, but today's situation makes everyone extremely disappointed, is it possible to say that there is one less topic coach in German football, one more old oilman?
Oh, that's not good news.
But even with Heiko starting to keep a low profile, the game still got a lot of attention, and a dark horse made it to the third round of the German Cup from the Bundesliga, which was a selling point in itself, not to mention that they eliminated Borussia Dortmund, the behemoth of the German football club, halfway through.
Although there is another team that has also surprised people in the German Cup, that is, Bochum, which is also in the second division, they also reached the third round of the German Cup, but despite this, not many people have reported on this dark horse.
Who let Bochum play Jena in the league without winning?
Two dark horses, the media will naturally focus on the darker one, not to mention that there is also a goalkeeper Ye Xin in the Jena team who has almost shocked the whole of Europe.
Therefore, the local newspapers in Germany have basically begun to track the game, not to mention the Bild and the kickers have done exclusive interviews for this game, and even the team newspaper in France but has great influence in Europe has mentioned this game.
"With leaves, anyone can become a dark horse"
The team newspaper has to be said to be the most influential newspaper in Europe and even in the world, and its authority is basically not questioned in the industry, and the formation of this authority is nothing more than their thorough research on various sports events and information in the past hundred years.
They have a lot of old spicy pens, especially in football, and their football commentators are as good as some coaches in the lower leagues, not to mention that some well-known coaches will come to them to make guest appearances and write a few articles.
And this time, although the article is signed anonymously, it is very word-for-word.
Jena's rise depends on defensive solidity.
The solidity of Jena's defence depends on deterrence in front of goal.
The deterrent power in front of Jena's door comes directly from Ye Xin.
……
The three sentences directly point out the theme of the article, and then around the three sentences, this report began a detailed data analysis, from Jena's defensive success rate to Ye Xin's save success rate, from Jena's defensive linkage to Ye Xin's lack of experience in commanding defense but suffocating the offensive players.
A lion leads a flock.
The last sentence of this report is like a finishing touch, the end of the whole article is extremely neat, after reading the people all sighed at this article, reasonable, no conjecture and speculation, completely in an objective attitude of analysis, which made everyone who read the article have a new understanding of the goalkeeper of Jena, and many people have begun to speculate which football big man came to make a cameo again.
This kind of accurate judgment from tactics to personal strength is not something that anyone can write.
It's just that this report is very professionally written, but it didn't cause any sensation, after all, everyone's sensitivity to controversial news is much more sensitive than this kind of professional article, everyone likes to see that so-and-so star has a conflict with his head coach, or so-and-so star has cheated, and for this kind of analytical article, I just look at it and nod in agreement, and there is less discussion.
It's just that the fans don't care, but some people do.
In the spacious office, a young man in a suit was leaning on a leather chair and reading the news in the team newspaper, and after a while, he called his assistant and pointed to the photo of Ye Xin in the newspaper.
"Raymond, help me investigate this Chinese, is he really so amazing"
"Yes, Your Highness"
"No, Raymond, please call me boss here"
"Yes, boss"
