Chapter 041: Reaching the Champions League (1st Update)

Gruja Stadium.

Before the start of the second half, Cluj made a substitution, and Italian defender Piccolo came off the bench to replace Portuguese defender Nuno. Diogo.

After Piccolo came on the field, he stared at Jiang Chenxi, he really didn't understand what was so powerful about this Chinese player, he actually scored two goals in the first half of the game.

On the bench, he also saw the goalscoring process, not so much the beautiful goal of the Basel 27, but the wonderful passing of the Egyptian player.

To get stuck in the position in advance!

Piccolo said to himself that for such a point-grabbing shooter, as long as he can start before the opponent and occupy a favorable position first, the opponent will have nothing to do.

This is the method he summed up to deal with Jiang Chenxi.

……

Cluj launched an attack towards Basel's goal.

The hosts are currently 2-0 down and will have to score at least one more goal to level the aggregate score.

However, Basel defended very well, especially with a two-goal lead, and the players were relaxed and in good form.

Today's starting centre-back duo Radoslav. Kovacs and Alexander. Dragovic's competitive form is quite good, Kovac is experienced, however, the turn is slower, Dragovic is young and fast, and the two can complement each other.

……

It can't be attacked for a long time.

Cluj head coach Ivan. Anthony was restless on the sidelines.

As time went on, the situation became more and more unfavorable.

Cluj must score as soon as possible to equalise on aggregate.

Greek striker Capetanos, who had already gotten up to warm up, was called back, took the tactical board, and gave Capetanos a face-to-face lecture.

At this moment, there was a loud uproar on the court.

……

Jiang - he made a clever follow-up shot in front of goal and penetrated Mario for the third time. Fergueiras's Ten Finger Pass!! Basel leads Cluj 3-0!! ”

"It's incredible! Incredible! Basel, who lost 1-2 at home in the first leg, now leads by three goals at the Gruja Stadium and is 4-2 on aggregate, and it has become difficult for Cluj to turn the tables around! ”

"I think the current score, Cluj's would have not thought of before the game...... Their performance is terrible. At halftime Ivan. Anthony made a change, replacing Nuno with what he was not happy with. Diogo, who was replaced by Piccolo, apparently thought the Italian defender would be able to stop the Chinese striker from continuing to score...... But the truth is cruel, and the Italians can't stop Jiang Chenxi from scoring again! He scored a hat-trick! ”

……

Ivan is preparing to make substitution adjustments. Anthony was completely stunned.

This conceded goal!

Score 0 to 3!

It can be said that it directly killed the game!

This means that Cluj will have to score three goals in less than half an hour of play time left to turn the tables around!

Yes!

Three balls!

They had to rewrite the score to 3-3 to turn the game around, and even if it turned into 2-3 after chasing two goals in a row, they would be eliminated due to the disadvantage of fewer away goals.

……

On the big screen is defending the goal just now, which is Basel captain Alexander. After Frei received a pass from South Korean Park Joo-ho on the side, he nodded the ball in front of the goal, and after the football was saved by goalkeeper Mario and Fergueiras, Jiang Chenxi appeared in front of the goal smartly and easily swept the football into the net.

He finished shooting before being knocked to the ground by Italian defender Piccolo who arrived in a panic.

……

Ivan. Anthony felt his breathing become difficult, and he was.

He looked into the field and wanted to scold Piccolò, and when he replaced Piccolò, he told him to keep an eye on Chinese at all times, but what about now......

However, looking at Piccolò with a depressed and dazed face, his anger was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and he ......

He had nothing more to say.

Does swearing work?

Can swearing stop a conceded goal?

……

Piccolo held his head in his hands, frustrated.

That's when he understood Nuno. What did Diogo mean when he said 'I don't know how the ball was lost'?

Take this ball as an example, in Alexander. When Frei headed the goal, all eyes were on the goalkeeper and were drawn to the attack.

And just as Frey was attacking the goal, Jiang Chenxi suddenly started, and he pounced in front of the goal.

And after he started, Piccolò, who was defending him, realized that something was wrong and started with it, but what can he do when a defender is stuck behind a striker?

Then, the rest of the matter was simple, the football was saved by goalkeepers Mario and Fergueiras, and it happened to fall next to Jiang Chenxi, and he easily swept the empty goal.

……

It's not that they don't work hard to defend!

It's really hard to prevent.

The opponent's keen judgment and sense of smell of the landing point make him one step ahead, and this step is the difference between heaven and hell.

A deep sense of powerlessness.

Piccolo looked to the sidelines, the roar he expected from manager Anthony was not heard.

This makes Piccolò a little weak-hearted, is this too lazy to scold?

It's better to scold a few words, otherwise you will panic.

……

The cheers from the stands of the away fans at the Gruja Stadium rang out with the energy of less than 2,000 Basel fans, so much so that for a split second you would have the illusion that the stadium had been taken over by the Basels.

Now Basel fans are already celebrating, and they no longer worry about not qualifying for the Champions League – they think they have already qualified for the group stage of the Champions League!

3-0 lead over Cluj!

The opponent had to score three goals in a row with half an hour remaining to turn the game around.

Cluj scored three goals in half an hour?!

Don't be funny, they don't think their team would make such a low-level mistake!

……

Jiang Chenxi wanted to run to celebrate, but he didn't run, and was killed by the captain Alexander. Frey hugged him, dragged him to the ground, and crushed him underneath him.

"Well done!" The captain yelled in his ear.

Then, more Basel players rushed over and pressed up.

Salah needed to run from the right, and when he came, Jiang Chenxi had already pressed three or four teammates on his body.

Egypt hurried the young man rushed forward, and he struggled to press Alexander on top. Dragovich pulled it open, shouting in his mouth, "Get up, it's crushed." ”

……

After Jiang Chenxi completed a hat-trick, the game was basically out of suspense, and no one would have thought that Cluj would be able to score three goals in a row in the rest of the game.

What's more, Basel's head coach Hawky. Vogel immediately made a substitution, he replaced the goal-scorer Jiang Chenxi, and replaced the right midfielder David, who is good at both offense and defense. Degen.

At the same time, the position of Salah was promoted to the front line and captain Alexander. Frey partnered, using Salah's speed and impact and Frey's experience to harass Cluj's defence.

Jiang Chenxi scored a hat trick in the game and was a big contributor to Basel's 3-0 lead!

He is naturally also the most 'hated' person by Cluj fans.

……

When Jiang Chenxi was substituted and ran to the sidelines, the Cluj fans in the stands erupted in frantic boos, while the Basel fans in the visiting fans stood up and applauded their heroes.

At the same time, in Switzerland, in Basel, many bars and homes, Basel fans watching the game stood up in front of the television, applauded and cheered.

On TV, the Swiss commentator Hansen shouted even more sensationally: "A week ago, I said that Basel wants to turn the tables and needs a hero!" Who is that hero? Now, the answer is right in front of our eyes! River! He's that hero! He is a hero of Basel!! ”

……

With 83 minutes played, Cluj pulled a goal back to make it 1-3.

The goal was scored by the substitution of Greek international Capetanos.

The goal ignited a glimmer of hope among Cluj fans.

However, in the games that followed, Basel showed everyone how solid their goals are when they are preoccupied with defending, and the Clujs did not concede a goal in the Champions League last season despite the frenzied siege of giants such as Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

In the final moments of stoppage time, with Basel midfielder Fabian Brown. Frei intercepted Cluj's final pass and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

……

At full-time, Basel beat Cluj 3-1 away to 4-3 on aggregate! They made it to the Champions League! ”

"Champions League! Here we go! The Swiss commentator Hansen exclaimed excitedly, "Rejoice, it's a night in Basel!" We managed to reverse it! ”

With his shout, the camera locked on Jiang Chenxi.

He rushed into the stadium from the bench to celebrate, and everyone came to hug him, give him a high-five, and cheer him on a great performance today...... Beside him were inseparable journalists, surrounded by long guns and short cannons.

"That's the treatment of a star." In the media seat, the Chinese reporter sighed.

"Isn't he a star now?" Zhong Dajun asked rhetorically.

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

After this battle, he became famous, and rode a horse and whipped the young marquis.

On the stage of the Champions League, Jiang Chenxi is here......
