Chapter 032: Safflower Oil (2nd Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes)

August 4, 2012.

In the fourth round of the 2012/2013 Swiss Super League, the defending champions Basel, who finished second in the league, played away at leaders Sion.

In this game, Jiang Chenxi sat on the bench, and head coach Vogel chose Alexander. Frey and Marco. Streyler's regular striker partner.

Obviously, in the previous Champions League qualifying match with Molde, Vogel chose Jiang Chenxi to start, more out of tactical considerations for that game, he wanted to beat Molde by surprise, and it turned out that his tactical choice was very correct.

Now back in the league, Vogel has opted for what he sees as a more consistent forward set-up.

However, Jiang Chenxi's good friend Salah got the chance to start this game.

……

After the game, when Basel media reported the match, the most common word used was: Bad luck!

Yes, just bad luck.

At the beginning of the first half, the team's main goalkeeper, Swiss international Sommer, was injured and replaced, wasting an early substitution.

Then towards the end of the first half, the team's right-back Philippe. Degen was injured in a scramble and Basel had to make another substitution, using up another substitution.

Not long after the start of the second half, the team's left midfielder Gilles. Yappie received a red card and was sent off.

……

The camera gave Basel coach Volger a close-up, and the German's face was green and angry.

"I can't play this game." Vogel huffed at his assistant Mutrah. Yakin grumbled.

With a man sent off in midfield, Vogel had to make another passive adjustment, replacing the starting striker Streller with Chile's Aziz and using up the last substitution.

This also means that Jiang Chenxi has no chance to come off the bench.

In the end, in this game, the two sides received a total of eight yellow cards and one red card, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

……

In the post-match press conference, Basel coach Hawky Brown. Vogel and Sion coach Sebastian. Fournier erupted into a heated verbal altercation with the words of the Swiss national television sports channel anchor Hafeli. In Sonk's words, 'The two of them almost rolled up their sleeves and had a big fight.' ’

Vogel slammed Sion for playing brutal football and maliciously hurting people during the game.

Fournier quipped that Basel could not afford to lose.

Vogel said that the other party was the executioner.

Fournier says Basel is an untouchable waxed turkey.

……

"They didn't win either." Jiang Chenxi saw the hot picture of the press conference on TV, and he expressed his gratitude to the head coach of the Sion team, Sebastian. Fournier's words were a little unpleasant, as if they had won Basel.

"They played too savagely." Salah complained that such hand-to-hand combat was obviously very disadvantageous for Salah, and after the game, the team doctor examined Salah, and the Egyptian had to apply ice packs to a large bruise on his calf.

In this game, Salah's performance was also relatively average, and Sion's players focused on taking care of the Egyptian youngster, who has performed well recently, and showed no mercy in the tackles. Jiang Chenxi, who was sitting on the bench, was also worried, he was really worried that his friend would be injured, now he and Salah have a very tacit understanding, with Salah playing together on the field, Jiang Chenxi feels that his goal chances will increase a lot.

……

Jiang Chenxi walked into his room, took out a bottle of safflower oil and handed it to Salah.

"What is this?" Salah was puzzled.

"Promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis." Jiang Chenxi said with a smile, "Our Huaxia magic medicine." ”

"What does it smell like?" Salah covered his nose, the smell of this potion was too weird, "Jiang, are you sure this thing works?" ”

"Of course." Jiang Chenxi said angrily, "This is what I brought from China, just this bottle, I am willing to use it for ordinary people." ”

"How to use it? Drink it straight? Salah took the bottle and asked with a frown, he really couldn't stand the smell and couldn't drink it.

……

"Forget it, I'll wipe it for you." Jiang Chenxi said helplessly, "Bear with it." ”

"Hell, it hurts, you tap." Salah grinned, he was afraid of pain since he was a child.

"What's it called, that's good." Jiang Chenxi glared at Salah, "Okay, it won't hurt in a while, it's cool and comfortable." ”

"It's really." After a while, Salah said in surprise, "It doesn't hurt so much, it's cool, it's so comfortable." ”

"I'm right." Jiang Chenxi said proudly.

……

Carrington Training Base, Manchester.

Old Lord Alex. In Ferguson's office, an emergency closed-door meeting is being held.

Manchester United are in full swing to bring in Arsenal captain Robin. Van Persie, however, is now at an impasse in the negotiations as Juventus and Manchester City have also stepped in.

"What's going on now?" Manchester United CEO David Brown. Jill asked, and he asked Martin. Alex Ferguson, who is the godfather of Manchester United, Alex. Alex Ferguson's younger brother is also Manchester United's chief scout.

……

"Juventus will pay Van Persie £190,000 in the team's top salary, with the Dutchman earning up to £10 million a year." Martin. "Of course, that's what Hogwofer has revealed. ”

Hogwover is one of Van Persie's agent team.

"Manchester City haven't given up yet, they're still chasing Van Persie." Martin. Ferguson continued, "According to the news released by Wirth, Mancini is bound to win against Robin van Persie. ”

Voss is another agent on Van Persie's team of agents.

……

The old man, who had not spoken, snorted, he had always disliked the players' agents, often criticizing them as vampires and instigating the players to demand high salaries and rebellion. Obviously, in this transfer incident of Van Persie, his agent team is very active, with three bets.

It's just that this time Van Persie's agent pushed Van Persie to transfer, and Manchester United had a chance to get the Dutchman, although he didn't like it, he couldn't say anything.

"Alex, I still stand by my opinion." Manchester United CEO David Brown. Gil said, "The most important thing about Van Persie's transfer is Wenger's attitude, if the French don't nod, no one can take the Dutchman." ”

The old gentleman nodded, "Continue to contact Van Persie's agent here, and hurry up to get them." After a pause, the old gentleman said, "Wenger, I'll call him personally." ”

Neither David. Jill or Martin. Ferguson, all looked at Sir Alex Ferguson in surprise, it seems that he is really bound to Van Persie, and even called Wenger in person, you know, the relationship between these two people, who have loved and killed each other for so many years, the grievances in this are really indescribable.

……

The old lord's word is the decree, David. Jill and Martin. Ferguson took his leave and left.

Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson stood by the window, looking out the window, he could see the training ground in the distance, and he could see the tung tree nearby, he hated the caterpillar on the tree, but when the workers offered to cut down the tree, he did not agree, and the tree had been there for a long time since he was in charge of the United in November 1986, even longer than he had been at Manchester United.

In the previous season, Ferguson was disgusted by the noisy neighbours, not only beating the Red Devils twice in the league, but also successfully fighting back in the final rounds to snatch the league title from Manchester United. At the end of previous seasons, reporters would ask when Ferguson would retire, but at the end of last season, reporters would not ask Ferguson whether he would retire, because they knew that this old man would not leave so gloomy!

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

……

"Come in, Mike." Ferguson didn't look back, but he could tell it was his assistant Mike. Phelan's knock at the door.

Phelan knocked on the door with a peculiarity, the first time it was soft, the second time it was a little louder, and Ferguson was old enough to sometimes fall asleep in the office.

Phelan was considerate of the old man, and he would be careful when knocking on the door, so as not to startle the old man by suddenly knocking on the door.

The old man also understood the habits of his assistants.

……

"Is there anything wrong, Mike?" Ferguson asked in surprise, at this time, Phelan should have left work.

"Alex." Mike. "I watched the clip and felt the need to report back to you. ”

"Match footage?" Ferguson was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and seemed to be a little impressed, "Is it the game clip video that Ole sent you?" How? Any questions? ”

He remembered that there was such a thing, but he was a little surprised, could there really be something that could not be found.
