[Sports News]Austrian international Jakob Jantscher, who has just joined Jiezhi, officially started training today (31st). The 34-year-old striker revealed that joining Jiezhi hopes to find a new breakthrough in Asia, and looks forward to playing for the first time in an intercontinental club competition. The head coach Zhu Zhiguang pointed out with a smile that he talked with En Cha on the phone in the middle of the night for two nights, and described persuading the other party to join as a “ditch girl”, “I told him to believe me.” Although Saturday’s league match against Dongfang might be rescheduled due to the typhoon, Encha was not too disappointed that the “Landmark Match” could not be staged. “In Austria, the game will also be canceled due to heavy snow, so it is not new. It’s also quite interesting.”
Encha, who arrived in Hong Kong on Tuesday, went to the club yesterday to take a promotional photo, and this morning he participated in training for the first time at the training center in Shimen. In the one and a half hours of practice, although he played offensive and defensive games off the field, he did not participate in the more intense team games. He only went to the sidelines for physical training until the end of the shooting practice.
Encha revealed to the media after the exercise that he was still a little tired after the 12-hour flight, but he was ready to leave the game after receiving a warm welcome from his teammates and off-field training. He pointed out that this is his first visit to Hong Kong, and he only set foot in Asia because of vacations in Thailand in the past: “This time is a very good opportunity to get in touch with Asian games. It is also time to see new things after playing in Europe for 18 years. Jiezhi is a good family. The club can also play in the AFC Champions League, and I have never played in the Europa League in Europe.” After becoming a legend in the former club Graz, Encha also felt sad about leaving his mother club for 14 years: “But on the football field Never know what will happen, I got a good opportunity from Hong Kong, I am so happy to receive the offer from Jiezhi. It is a new thing for me, I hope to show my strength in Asia, I think this is the most perfect club .”
Encha once fought against Onas in Türkiye.
Encha, who signed the 1+1 contract, said that before deciding to join, he asked the assistant coach of the Hong Kong Football Association, Lusser, who is also from Austria, for his opinion. After talking with Jiezhi coach Zhu Zhiguang, the response was very positive. In Jiezhi’s team, there are also Ornas’s opponents when he played in Turkey. “And everyone here understands English, even Oli (Zhou Yuande) understands German.” He thinks that adaptation is not a problem. However, the team currently has eight foreign players competing for five spots. Encha bluntly understands that he must show his strength in order to get a spot, and that he is competent as a striker and left and right wings.
However, “the nobles go out to attract wind and rain”, typhoon Sula is expected to be the closest to Hong Kong tomorrow, and there is a good chance that the No. 8 typhoon signal will be changed. It is still unknown whether the battle against Dongfang on Saturday will be staged as scheduled. “The first thing I heard when I arrived in Hong Kong was a typhoon, but in Austria, football games are also canceled due to heavy snow, so it’s not a new thing, but it’s interesting to have a typhoon as soon as you come here.”
Coach Zhu Zhiguang pointed out that if Saturday’s game is finally cancelled, it would be a good thing for Encha to have two more weeks to adapt to Li Wen: “He must always understand Asia and understand the characteristics of his teammates.” He revealed that Encha The club decided to sign in, but I also watched clips of the opponent’s game, describing his shooting skills as similar to former player Dan Nuyu. Regarding En Cha’s claim that he talked to him before signing the contract, Zhu Zhiguang said with a smile that the other party was not interested in joining at first: “But he wants to find a second spring, so let’s see if there is any breakthrough. I called him in the middle of the night two nights and talked with him. Ji, asked a lot of things like a “ditch girl”. (Then how do you convince him?) I told him to believe me.”
Currently only counting front-line foreign aid, Jiezhi has Encha, Igosha Toni, Jin Xinyu and Mingasov, etc. Among them, Encha may directly compete with Jin Xinyu for the center position. Zhu Zhiguang also smiled and asked the reporter how to choose: “Maybe when the time comes! But to see what kind of game, the AFC Champions League always needs to find someone who can run, but local games do not rule out the same field, any combination can happen. “
Kitchee will play Orient in Mong Kok on Saturday. If canceled due to a typhoon, they will play a guest against Lee Man on the 16th after the international break.
