(The code comes out~~~ No need to ask for leave~~ Look at Xiaoxin working so hard, should you support more)

What is said to be higher than heaven and life is thinner than paper, MacLeish is a good illustration of this, and the Scotsman who is bent on Ferguson is going through the most difficult moment of his life.

After the defeat to Manchester City, his time at Aston Villa was even more difficult, although McLeish never had a good time at Aston Villa.

After returning to Manchester on the same day, Van Basten did not give the team a day off the next day, as the Champions League knockout rounds came and Manchester City were set to visit Basel three days later.

Although Basel are the weakest team in the round of 16, on the football pitch any accident can happen, as evidenced by the city-side rivals in the group stage.

For this reason, Manchester City fans did not hesitate to ridicule Manchester United when they learned that Manchester United had been eliminated by Basel, and this situation reached its peak after the results of the knockout draw.

Manchester City fans keep shouting for revenge for Manchester United, but who knows that this is Manchester City fans mocking Manchester United, but whether they really want revenge.

This can't blame Manchester City fans for being so crazy, after all, Manchester City has been bullied by Manchester United for more than 20 years, and it can even be said that Manchester City is only qualified to be compared to Manchester United because they are in Manchester.

So this period is definitely the happiest period for Manchester City fans in the past two decades, because Manchester City has overtaken Manchester United in all aspects this season, which is the first time in 20 years.

In the past few days, Li Feng has also clearly felt the restlessness and uneasiness of Manchester City fans, on the surface, Manchester City's strength is indeed much higher than Basel, but football is always full of surprises.

Coupled with the crazy sarcasm of Manchester United fans before, if Manchester City ends up losing the game, Manchester City fans can fully imagine what they will face at that time.

"Wind~~~ Will we win?" This is the problem of several of the old fans who live close to Li Feng, and some of the younger fans are much more radical, "Feng~~~ We want to win." ”

In the face of this situation, Li Feng's answer did not disappoint these fans, "Of course~~~ The victory must belong to us, Basel can't stop it, even Barcelona can't stop it." ”

Hearing Li Feng's confident answer, the fans suddenly had a satisfied expression, in fact, in their hearts, for Manchester City fans, it doesn't matter if they can win Barcelona or not, they only care whether Manchester City can win Basel now.

They only hope that Manchester City can beat Basel to reach the quarter-finals and, if they are lucky, reach the semi-finals, and as for the title, against Barcelona, Manchester City fans have not really thought about it.

After all, the difficulty of winning the Champions League is too high, even more difficult than winning the league countless times, as for competing with Barcelona, please, Barcelona is now in full swing, the name of the Universe team has resounded throughout Europe, and the two teams have not had any intersection before, Manchester City fans will naturally not pay attention to Barcelona.

Switzerland is a beautiful country, and Basel is the fourth largest city in Switzerland, and this is the second time to visit the city, when he was at Bayern Munich, Li Feng played Basel in the Champions Cup.

It's just that the head coach of Basel at that time was the former hero of Bayern Munich, Tosten Fink, and the current head coach of Basel is Heiko Fogel.

Fogel was previously Fink's assistant coach and only took over Fink's position after Fink left Basel, and before that, Fogel was from Bayern Munich.

However, Fogel is not the coach of the first team, but the head coach of the academy, Muller, Bad Stuber, Kroos, Contento and others were all disciples, so it can be seen that the vision is still quite good.

It's just that Fogel is an ambitious person, he is not willing to be the head coach of the academy team, but he has no chance at Bayern, so after receiving Fink's invitation, Fogel made a decision, said goodbye to Bayern, and came to Basel, Switzerland.

Now Fogel has finally gotten his wish, not only ending Fink in the position he left, but even bringing Basel one step closer to breaking into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in history, something Fink has not done.

Of course, Fogel is also very clear that with Basel's squad and strength, it is already a surprise to be able to enter the knockout round, and it is difficult to go further.

For Manchester City's performance this season, Fogel naturally knows something, they even have to overpower the defending champion Barcelona, after all, the strength of Group A is too rebellious, in such a super death group, Manchester City is unbeaten, and qualified as the first in the group, which is a loss of the whole European glasses.

Early in the morning of February 15th, the Manchester City soldiers landed at Mulhouse Airport in a high-profile manner in the "Rising Blue Moon", which is located on the French border, adjacent to Basel and Freiburg.

On the small stretch of the VIP passage to the team bus, nearly 100 reporters and nearly 1,000 Manchester City fans flocked to the media, and the media wanted first-hand news reports, and the fans naturally came to support the team.

Basel's home stadium is called St. Jacob's stadium, which can accommodate nearly 40,000 fans, but Manchester City has only 4,000 seats of nearly 40,000 seats, but this can't be helped, otherwise how to call it a home stadium, just like Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

With Manchester City's current football market, 48,000 seats are completely insufficient, and every match day, at least nearly 10,000 fans can gather in the square outside the stadium to enter the stadium, but even so, Manchester City still needs to allocate one-tenth of the tickets to the away fans.

The media certainly don't get any news at the airport, and they know that the main purpose of their visit is to film Manchester City's squad as they come to Basel.

What they really want to know, and then there is a press conference, but they also know very well that they can't get anything really useful at the time of the news release, so in the end, how they want to report it is up to them to analyze and make up the story themselves.

Brain hole this thing, not only the domestic opening is bigger, in fact, the media in Europe is bigger, after all, in Europe is much freer than at home, after all, when it comes to democracy, it is still more Western~~ Everyone understands, and there is nothing offline for the news media.

This time, it was captain Vincent Kompany, goalkeeper Joe Hart and Li Feng who followed Van Basten to attend the press conference, and as for the result, the media could only arrive with some innocuous news.

On the contrary, the Korean media from afar were a little excited, because there is also a Korean player in the Basel lineup, and it is estimated that the whole South Korea knows who Li Feng's girlfriend is. (To be continued.) )
