Chapter 429: The Swiss Giants

Shortly after Han Sen entered the locker room, the game was over. Maybe Han Sen himself didn't see the scene of the game, but it is undeniable that after the game, the offensive and defensive backbone of the entire Barcelona is still there, but there is no aura, Guardiola's extreme ball control tactics ensure that the team maintains the score of 1-0 to the end, and Barcelona has achieved a proud record of 7 consecutive wins in all competitions.

"How?" Pep Guardiola sat down next to Han Sen and asked.

Han Sen hurriedly gestured twice, signaling that he was okay, you know, the mood is the mood, he can't play or he is still holding it in the hands of the head coach, you know, this week is followed by the Champions League: "It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I fall, I feel that I can't hold on, and now there is no big problem." ”

Guardiola nodded, then looked around, and felt that this was not a place to talk, so he changed the topic: "I heard that you bought a new house near Messi's house, but I haven't seen it yet!" ”

Han Sen hurriedly said, "Just tomorrow, tomorrow I will wait for you at home and taste the Chinese food left by my parents." ”

Guardiola smiled and nodded.

The next day, Guardiola really visited as scheduled, and Han Sen took Binyan and Osvaldo to wait at home and accompany him, like Messi, Guardiola was also very interested in Han Sen's rough decoration of the honor room, especially found that there was also Messi's jersey inside: "Is this last season?" That hat-trick against Barcelona? ”

"Last season, to be precise, didn't start yet." Binyan took the initiative to answer on the side.

Guardiola sighed and looked at Messi's jersey for a while. Then I saw Schweinsteiger's jersey again: "Didn't you join La Liga as a second-tier team in China?" How can you still play against Bayern? ”

Han Sen said embarrassedly: "This is the training of the national Olympic team in Europe, and we were beaten by Bayern at that time. ”

"I still swap jerseys with you after a miserable fight?" Pep Guardiola smiled meaningfully, "Let's score!" Or did you give him over? ”

Han Sen smiled: "Both." ”

Guardiola nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned around again, and then looked at Han Sen's several Olympic single-game best player awards, as well as various awards in La Liga, and then walked out of the honor room: "You can also install a TV or projection in it in the future, and your glorious image and specially produced TV programs can be played in it repeatedly." ”

Han Sen's eyes lit up: "Good idea, Osvaldo." You can help me implement it then. ”

Due to the fine weather, Han Sen simply moved the dining table to the backyard and the four of them sat around to eat. Pep Guardiola took the chopsticks a little rusty and said, "I haven't officially been to China yet!" ”

Han Sen smiled and said, "That's not easy, if you know us, you can go at any time." ”

Pep Guardiola snorted: "You are now the most famous football star of all time in China!" ”

Han Sen was speechless for a while, not knowing what Guardiola meant. On the side, Binyan hurriedly picked up: "The most famous is not yet the most famous." But at present, it is the most recognized by Shijie football, and it can still be counted. ”

Pep Guardiola nodded: "Actually, there are many players like you, we have a lot of players in the team, such as Samuel Eto'o, who is the most famous player in Cameroon, such as Keita, who is the most famous star in Mali, and Gudjohnsen. He will soon be Iceland's Footballer of the Year again, and they will be in their respective countries. Probably all represent the highest status in the history of football. It can be said that it is precisely because of you, the best players from various countries, that we Barcelona have good results now, I will replace the wine with tea, and I would like to toast the handsome and the excellent team members around you. ”

Han Sen hurriedly raised the water glass in his hand, and secretly said to Binyan, "How can I listen to what the coach said not authentically!" ”

Binyan smiled slightly: "What he means is that you kid is still tender, don't think that you are great in China, I can have a lot of national heroes like you in my hands, without you, Barcelona will turn the same!" ”

Osvaldo could understand Chinese and naturally smiled quietly, while Guardiola didn't seem to mind the two talking in private and continued to carefully practice the chopsticks in his hand.

Seeing that Guardiola didn't care about their conversation, Binyan continued to ask Han Sen: "Where is the Champions League going?" ”

Han Sen said casually: "Go to Switzerland and play Basel!" ”

With a population of around 160,000, Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland and is located on the border between the Rhine Bay and Germany and France. There are three railway stations in Basel, belonging to France, Germany and Sweden; An international airport that crosses the border between Sweden and France and an industrial river port on the Rhine.

FootballclubBasel (abbreviated FCBasel) is a professional football club located in Basel, the third largest city in Switzerland. Founded in 1893, the team did not win the Swiss Cup for the first time until 1933, 40 years later, before winning the Swiss Cup again in 1947 and the league title in 1953. However, Basel has since transformed itself into one of Switzerland's most successful football clubs, winning 11 Super League titles, and is the third-most Swiss club in the all-time list, along with Little Boys Bern Football Club.

And Han Sen's tour of the countries after landing in Europe, with this stop, has also added another station. Switzerland is a federal country located in the middle of Europe, bordering Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein, and is one of the richest, most economically developed and highest living standards in the world. The country's two famous global cities, Zurich and Geneva, are ranked first and second respectively as the cities with the highest quality of life on Shijie; Switzerland is also known as a neutral country and has historically remained politically and militarily neutral, but it is also involved in international affairs, with many international organizations having their headquarters in Switzerland. This point is described in a large number of World War II movies that Han Sen watched when he was a child, as long as everyone escapes to Switzerland, the danger is over, and Switzerland feels like a magical country.

Of course, the names of Basel and Barcelona are close, but the strength is very different, and qualifying for the UEFA Cup group can basically be regarded as the best result in the history of Basel. After losing the first two rounds of the group stage, Basel will be hoping to pick up points against their strongest rivals, Barcelona. It is not without precedent for teams in history to lose in the first two rounds and still qualify, Lyon, Inter Milan and Bremen have all done it in the previous three seasons. The last time Barcelona met a Swiss side was in the first round of the 1968/69 Cup Winners' Cup, where they eliminated Lugano 5-0 on aggregate.

In the face of weak opponents, Guardiola still did not take it lightly, the main rotation of the last round against Athletic Bilbao, one is related to the FIFA virus, and the second is important, to prepare for this round against Basel, as an opponent in the group, but also the weakest opponent in the group, according to the schedule, the game with Basel will be the first away and then the home back-to-back schedule, if you go all out to win the opponent in both games, then the group qualification is basically a foregone conclusion, and the most worthy of attention, This away game, of course.

Compared with last weekend's league, Pep Guardiola rotated most of the starting lineup, Iniesta, who has played in the national team and the league in a row, was rested in this round and did not enter the squad, captain Puyol, Messi, Xavi and others returned to the starting line-up, young defender Sergio Busquets will make his Champions League debut, and Hansen also started the Champions League after starting the league. It is now clear that the jishu-type midfielders of Hansen and Sergio Busquets have completely replaced Keita and Yaya Toure, who are statistically ineffective on the field. Up front, a new combination of Messi, Bojan and Hleb was fielded. As a result, Barcelona beat Basel 5-0 away and became the only team to win three in a row. Lionel Messi opened the scoring, Busquets, who made his Champions League debut, doubled the score, and Bojan scored another from distance. Within three minutes of the second half, Sergio Busquets set up Bojan to score twice and Xavi added the icing on the cake. Sporting Lisbon beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 away, with 6 points in second place, and Shakhtar 3 points in third place in the group. And after this round, to the surprise of the media, Han Sen was replaced by Yaya Toure after playing about 70 minutes in this round of the Champions League, but for the first time, there was a three-nothing situation in the data!
