Chapter 014: The Fangs of the Champions League Golden Boot (4th Update, 10,000 Words Update, Urgent Monthly Pass)
After the award ceremony, Jiang Chenxi reunited with his old club Basel coach Vogel and club manager Hasler and had a good conversation.
Jiang Chenxi paid special attention to the grouping of his old club Basel.
Basel are in a group with Premier League giants Chelsea, Bundesliga's Schalke 04 and Romanian side Steaua Bucharest.
For Basel, the draw was relatively good, with the exception of Chelsea, which is much stronger than other opponents, and Basel is hopeful of finishing second in the group with Schalke 04.
Both Voger and Hassler were in a good mood and were clearly happy with the draw.
……
After returning from Monaco, there were no games to play, and the Europa League entered a break of about two weeks due to the national team break.
The Chinese team was eliminated from the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers early, and there is no competition task at present, and Jiang Chenxi is not currently a member of the national team, he does not have to travel tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth to return to China to participate in the competition, so he stayed at the Dortmund training base to train.
Although Aubameyang is a Gabon international, however, the Gabon team also exited the African qualifiers early, and there is no national team match scheduled at present, so he also stayed in Dortmund.
So, when Dortmund manager Jurgen. When Klopp came to the training base this morning, he saw Jiang Chenxi and Aubameyang sweating on the club's No. 1 training base.
"How long have the two of them been here?" Klopp asked his assistant Zeliko. Bwach.
"It's coming after breakfast." Bouas said with a smile, clearly pleased with the hard work the two players had worked on.
Klopp nodded and didn't speak, he had heard that Jiang Chenxi was a training maniac before, and now it seems that he deserves his reputation, and Aubameyang's efforts are also in his eyes, and the two players on the offensive line partner to practice, which is a good thing, which helps to cultivate a tacit understanding between the players.
……
When Jiang Chenxi and Aubameyang train together, the two of them will use their brains to figure out the cooperation routines between the two people, or they will privately agree on some codes that only the two of them understand, such as a gesture and a look, after the two sides gradually understand each other, they understand it, and this tacit understanding can sometimes have unexpected effects in the game.
Jiang Chenxi scored the first goal of the Bundesliga in the match against Braunschweig, and that goal came from a tacit cooperation between him and Aubameyang, and the two tasted the sweetness and trained more energetically.
For practicing with Jiang Chenxi, Aubameyang is very happy, he knows that Jiang Chenxi is currently the absolute main force of the team, although there may be competition between the two, but this is not a problem, if he can get more and more tacit with Jiang Chenxi in training, the head coach will give him more opportunities to play, he and Jiang Chenxi's technical characteristics are very different, and they can coexist on the court and play the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
……
"That's a good thing." In the office, Jurgen Klopp stood in front of the window, watching two young men interact on the training ground, one passing, the other shooting, and deliberately simulating breakthroughs and running lines.
Jiang Chenxi is characterized by grabbing points, while Aubameyang's characteristic is his speed, and speed is his sharpest weapon.
With a height of 1.87 meters, Aubameyang has a relatively outstanding height advantage on the football field, and he always makes opponents chase his ass when he runs with his super stride, and with Aubameyang, Dortmund really have a chilling speed advantage.
In Dortmund's previous fitness, the Gabonese striker, who spent 13 million euros on the team this summer, completed the 30-meter sprint in 3.7 seconds. This result is even better than that of Usain Bolt, the "fastest runner in the world". You know, in 2009, when Usain Bolt set a new world record in 100 meters with 9.58 seconds, his first 30 meters were "only" 3.78 seconds. In this comparison, Aubameyang's 30-meter sprint speed is even faster than Bolt!
Suffice it to say, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is arguably the fastest player in the Bundesliga's 50-year history.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's use of speed to tear apart the opposition's defence and disrupt the opposition's half will create opportunities for Jiang Chenxi in front of goal.
Klopp observed the training of the two, basically Jiang Chenxi was running, giving full play to his advantage in accurate judgment of the football landing point, and Aubameyang 'breakthrough' and cross, Jiang Chenxi shot, and then, Aubameyang will quickly intersperse in front of the goal, responsible for the second point of the supplementary shot.
This kind of cooperation complements the characteristics of the two people very well.
"Two smart lads." Coaching staff member Peter. Kravitz exclaimed.
Two players who originally had a certain competitive relationship, now play each other's strengths, deliberately run in, looking for tacit understanding, such a practice effect is great, more importantly, as the head coach Klopp in the eyes, will naturally add a lot of points, in the subsequent games, more or less will take into account the tacit understanding between the two people.
It's a win-win.
……
It's a win-win indeed.
Jiang Chenxi needs a helper, he needs someone to pass the ball to him, and Aubameyang can do that.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was able to rally closely around Jiang Chenxi to get more playing time and secure his position in the team.
At the end of the day's training, the two sat on the turf, looked at the blue sky, and chatted.
"It's a shame I didn't run into AC Milan this time." Aubameyang said.
Jiang Chenxi smiled, with Aubameyang joining Dortmund, the story between Aubameyang and AC Milan has long been known to everyone after Dortmund media reports.
And Jiang Chenxi, as a friend of Aubameyang, naturally knows a lot about this.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has two older brothers, all three of whom are footballers, and the three brothers, who are highly talented in football, were valued by AC Milan and brought them to the Milan academy.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the youngest but most talented, and his ability has been unanimously recognised by the AC Milan youth team coaching staff, who rose to prominence in July of the same year, just six months after joining the AC Milan academy.
The good times were short-lived, and the AC Milan coaching staff felt that the technical characteristics of the Aubameyang brothers were incompatible with Italian football, and coupled with the abundance of talent in the Milan academy, the three brothers had lost their place in Milan. The Academy has decided to send Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan to the French league. Since then, Aubameyang has been adrift in France.
From the original Ligue 2 Dijon, to Ligue 1 Lille, Monaco, and many teams, Aubameyang's performance has always been mediocre, but he has never given up on his dream of becoming the world's top striker. It wasn't until he arrived at Saint-Etienne that Aubameyang was recognised in Ligue 1.
Despite the improvement in Saint-Etienne's performance, when Saint-Etienne proposed to AC Milan to buy Aubameyang, AC Milan, who did not expect anything from Aubameyang, sold him for a low price of only 1.8 million euros.
This also made Aubameyang have a deep resentment towards his old club.
……
"You're still resentful of AC Milan?" Jiang Chenxi asked.
Aubameyang shook his head, "It's not resentment, I don't want to prove how strong I am, I just want to prove AC Milan wrong. ”
Jiang Chenxi nodded, this kind of mentality is right, there is not too much resentment, it is more to prove his obsession, and this obsession will be the driving force for him to move forward.
"What about you?" Aubameyang asked.
"Me?" Jiang Chenxi raised his head and looked at the blue sky, under the sunlight, his eyes seemed to shine, "I'm not trying to prove how great I am, I'm telling everyone that what I lost will definitely be returned." ”
Aubameyang's eyes lit up, and he only felt that Jiang Chenxi at this time was extremely domineering, these words and his own words had the same meaning, why did he change the words from Jiang Chenxi's mouth, so domineering? !
It's so greasy!
……
On September 14, 2013, after a two-week hiatus, the Europa League was back in action.
Borussia Dortmund hosted Hamburg in the fifth round of the Bundesliga.
In the end, in this game, Dortmund defeated Hamburg 6-2 and achieved the biggest victory since the start of the new season.
Jiang Chenxi scored a goal in the game, and has scored in four consecutive rounds of the Bundesliga.
Although there is only one goal, Jiang Chenxi ranked the highest in the team in the rating of the German media after the game, and he received a score of 1 point, which is different from the higher the rating of other countries, the better the performance, the German media's rating is a five-point system, 5 points is the worst performance, the better the performance, the smaller the score, 1 point is the symbol of the most outstanding performance, similar to 9~10 points in other countries!
In this game, although Jiang Chenxi only scored one goal, he alone made the Hamburg team's defense angry.
A goal helped the team extend the score.
In addition, he also caused a foul on the opposing defender in the penalty area, helping the team to get a penalty at the same time, and also forcing the opposing defender to receive a red card and be sent off, this penalty and red card directly caused the Hamburg team to completely collapse.
It can be said that Jiang Chenxi alone destroyed the defense of the Hamburg team.
……
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, on the other hand, got off the bench today and scored a goal and did well.
This goal was Royce passed the ball to Jiang Chenxi, Jiang Chenxi passed the ball to Aubameyang, who broke through with the ball, and passed back to Jiang Chenxi, Jiang Chenxi pretended to shoot, but pushed the football homeopathically, Aubameyang comprehended the interspersed in place, and a strong shot hit the defender's body and refracted and bounced into the net.
A goal, an assist, causing the opponent to have a red dot package!
This is Jiang Chenxi's performance in this game.
This game is also considered to be Jiang Chenxi's best game since joining Dortmund.
After the game, the "Rheinische Evening News" cheered excitedly: the Champions League Golden Boot, which scared many teams last season, is gradually showing its fangs in Dortmund!
Why mention the Champions League Golden Boot again?
Borussia Dortmund will begin their Champions League campaign after playing against Hamburg, travelling to Italy to prepare for matchday 1 of the Champions League group stage against Napoli.
Before the Champions League, Jiang Chenxi showed excellent competitive form, which made Dortmund very excited.
