Chapter 019: The Opening Battle (Ask for Collections, Ask for Rewards, Ask for Recommendation Votes)

Basel's away game against Servette is the opening match of the new season of the Swiss Super League, and Servette finished fourth in the league as a promoted horse last season, and their home record is very good, so this game can also be called a strong dialogue and is very concerned.

At the press conference before the game, there were many Swiss journalists and many Chinese journalists.

In fact, Switzerland has now become a new gathering place for Chinese sports journalists overseas, just because Jiang Chenxi is in Basel and in Switzerland.

Some of these reporters even followed Jiang Chenxi from Foggia to Switzerland, and Zhong Dajun and Yi Fan were among the representatives.

……

The new season is about to begin, and these Chinese journalists are very excited, and they are all looking forward to it.

At this moment, they are most concerned about whether Basel coach Vogel will give Jiang Chenxi a chance in this game.

Although Jiang Chenxi got a certain opportunity to play in the pre-season warm-up games, and one of the warm-up games was a starter and scored two goals, but the warm-up games and the official league cannot be compared. Entering the squad for the game and getting the opportunity to play in the warm-up game may be the purpose of the manager's scouting of the players, but when the league starts, being able to enter the 18-man squad means that the players have basically won the recognition and trust of the head coach.

The opening game of the league is of great significance, the opponent is not weak, will Vogel give Jiang Chenxi a chance to enter the 18-man squad?

……

At the pre-match press conference, Vogel did not hide it, and directly announced his team's eighteen-man squad.

The first thing Vogel announced was the team's starting lineup.

Jiang Chenxi's name is not in the starting list.

This made the Chinese reporters on the scene slightly disappointed, but they quickly calmed down, after all, they also knew that the possibility of Jiang Chenxi starting was extremely small, and Basel's current main lineup has not changed much compared with last season, especially on the offensive end, captain Alexander. Frey and high school forward Marco. Streller's combination is mature and consistent, and it is easy for Vogel to make changes up front.

……

Vogel announced the names of seven players at the back of the eighteen-man squad, which is the list of substitutes.

Jiang Chenxi's name is impressively listed.

Chinese journalists were excited.

Jiang Chenxi entered the competition list!

Being in the 18-man squad in an important game such as the league opener means that Jiang Chenxi has now been initially approved by head coach Vogel!

That's the good news!

At the same time, this also means that Jiang Chenxi may get the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the game!

For the first time, the Swiss Super League will feature Chinese players!

……

Chinese journalists were excited.

Swiss journalists are talking.

Although Jiang Chenxi had already had a relatively good performance in the pre-season warm-up game, they were still surprised to hear that Vogel actually put Jiang Chenxi in the eighteen-man squad for the opening game.

Is this Chinese who joined Basel from Italy's third division really strong enough to represent Basel in the Swiss Super League?

A middle-aged male reporter with a big belly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fat people are easy to sweat.

He raised his suspicions: "I'm David Brown, a journalist for the Basel Zeitung. Zahavi. I would like to ask Mr. Worger, do you really think Jiang already has what it takes to play for Basel in the league? ”

……

David. Zahavi feels that his luck has been really bad recently, after he has just written an article to express doubts about Basel's new Chinese signings through the reliable 'intelligence' he has obtained, asserting that Jiang Chenxi cannot gain a foothold in Basel's first team, and the next day in Basel's open training session, the Chinese kid performed very well, which is simply a slap in the face.

On the same day, some fans called the newspaper office to complain about his indiscriminate reporting.

Zahavi felt that he had really been wronged and that the news he had received was that the Chinese boy had performed extremely badly in the first two days of training...... Who would have thought that as soon as I wrote an article here, that side would immediately change, and the slap in the face would not be so fast.

Zahavi and Jiang Chenxi have no hatred, and it can even be said that he is a Basel fan, and his purpose in writing this article is out of love and concern for Basel.

After being slapped in the face, Zahavi was depressed, but this gentleman did not continue to chase after him and continue to criticize and criticize Jiang Chenxi, he wanted to observe with his own eyes and observe Jiang Chenxi's performance.

Jiang Chenxi's performance in the warm-up match was still excellent, and Zahavi was also surprised, and his impression of this Chinese young man began to have a new perspective and change.

However, despite this, Zahavi does not think Jiang Chenxi's ability is qualified to play for Basel in the league.

……

Vogel glanced at David. Zahavi, nodded, "Of course." In fact, he was even better than I could have hoped for. ”

At this moment, you have to support your players, and this is what Volger has done well.

Zahavi waited for Volger's words, and he sat down contentedly.

……

Chinese.

The immediacy and speed of online media are unmatched by conventional media.

The pre-match press conference on the Swiss side had just ended, and the news was announced in the online media.

Seeing Jiang Chenxi enter the eighteen-man squad for the opening game of the new season in Basel, fans were overjoyed.

Although many people do not necessarily know about the Swiss Super League, there are several teams in the Swiss league that may not be known.

However, they know that Basel, a regular in the Champions League, was a hard bar for Manchester United last season, and made the old man hate Basel in the Champions League.

It's great that Jiang Chenxi can be included in Basel's official competition squad.

The Swiss Super League, which was played at the foot of the distant Alps, immediately attracted the attention and expectations of many Chinese fans.

……

July 13th.

Geneva, Hedge Stadium.

Home of Servette FC.

In this league opener against Basel, the Hedges Stadium was packed.

The first half is over and it's halftime.

On the electronic scoreboard at Hedge Stadium: 1:1.

At half-time, the home team Servette 1:1 away team Basel.

……

"Servette played well."

Chinese journalists in the media gallery gathered to chat and exchange their views on the first half.

"yes, they finished fourth last season as promoted horses, which is amazing."

"Servette is also a traditional strong team in the Swiss Super League, with a history of more than 100 years, and has won the championship 17 times, but in 05, the team went bankrupt and was directly relegated to the third league, and only returned to the Swiss Super League in 2011."

Everyone is embarrassed, the old team of more than 100 years, from the Super League to the C League, the club did not collapse, it took six years to kill back, and also achieved good results, the vitality is really tenacious.

……

"Do you think Jiang Chenxi will play in the second half of the game?" Someone said.

"Enough."

"Yes."

"It's hard to say."

……

At this time, in the stadium, Jiang Chenxi and other substitute players were warming up under the leadership of assistant coach Mutra.

Jiang Chenxi and Salah are together, and the movements of the two are almost synchronous:

Swing your legs!

Twist your hips!

The butt meat shakes.

Relaxes the muscles of the buttocks.

……

"Muhammad." Jiang Chenxi looked mysterious, "Do you know the origin of Servette's name?" ”

Salah looked confused and shook his head.

"During the Middle Ages in Europe, a scholar named Servetus first discovered the secret of human pulmonary circulation, which he later regarded as a heretic...... ...... by Geneva religion," Jiang Chenxi said in a low tone.

“…… Burned. Jiang Chenxi suddenly raised her voice.

Salah exclaimed, his eyes frightened.

Seeing that Salah seemed to be frightened, Jiang Chenxi suddenly regretted it, he patted his Egyptian teammate on the shoulder, half-hugged, as if whispering, "It's okay, I'm kidding, it's all a lie." ”

Salah looked at Jiang Chenxi sadly......

"You two, what are you doing?" In my ears came assistant coach Mutra. Yakin's roar.
