Chapter 131: The Transfer Door Opens (Ask for Subscription)

The 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League season has come to an end.

Jiang Chenxi tied with Real Madrid's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer in the Champions League with 12 goals, and won the Champions League Golden Boot in the 2012/2013 season.

(The Champions League has the same number of goals, it can be tied for the Golden Boot, and there will be no more goals and penalties in sports.) In the real 2014/2015 season, Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar were tied for the Champions League Golden Boot. )

The news immediately detonated the Chinese sports media.

"Jiang Chenxi: Champions League Golden Boot!"

"Chinese player Jiang Chenxi created Champions League history, 20-year-old Champions League Golden Boot!"

In the morning news of CCTV the next morning, it was also solemnly reported:

"In the early hours of this morning, the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League final was played at the new Wembley Stadium in London, with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1...... This season's Champions League has officially come to an end, and it is worth mentioning that Jiang Chenxi, a Chinese player who plays for the Swiss Super League giants Basel, finally tied with Real Madrid's Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for the first place in the Champions League scorer list with 12 goals, and won the Champions League Golden Boot ......"

On China's major media and online media, Jiang Chenxi, a 20-year-old young player, swiped the screen again.

……

On May 26, in the 34th round of the Swiss Super League, Basel won 0-1 Grasshopper away.

Jiang Chenxi played for more than 50 minutes without scoring, and in fact, the whole Basel team is in a slump, and the players have not recovered from the celebration of the 7-1 victory over the Grasshoppers in the Swiss Cup final a week ago to win the double.

After that race, Basel held a grand victory parade.

The players boarded the double-decker parade floats and carried the Swiss Super League and Swiss Cup winners from Basel's Municipal Park Square to the cheers of the crowd all the way to St. Jakob's Park.

……

On 28 May 2013, UEFA officially announced the best of the 2012-13 Champions League competition. Bayern Munich, who won the Champions League, was named the best team, while Jurgen Klopp, who led Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final, was named the best coach. The best goal and best save were taken by AC players. Mex and Abbiati were awarded respectively.

AC Milan centre-back Mexes stopped the ball with his chest from outside the box and fired a curling shot into the far corner in the fifth round of the group stage against Anderlecht.

AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati made an incredible series of saves against Zenit, notably a world-class save against Hulk's shot.

The best surprise award went to Basel, the Swiss Super League giants, who beat Manchester United in the group stage to top the group, eliminated another dark horse in the quarter-finals, Maga, and in the quarter-finals, after losing the first leg by a large score, the second leg almost gave Barcelona a waterloo, 'stopping in the quarter-finals, which set Basel's best record in the Champions League and they also won the respect of the world'.

Basel's Chinese player Jiang Chenxi was named the best newcomer, and the young Chinese striker put on an incredible performance in his Champions League debut season, sharing the Champions League Golden Boot with Cristiano Ronaldo and leading Basel to the quarter-finals. ’

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Chenxi defeated the European golden boy Isco and won the award for the best newcomer.

These awards are officially announced by UEFA, but they can only be regarded as a small summary of this season's Champions League, and the real awards will not be announced until the end of August 2013, that is, when the Champions League group stage draw and Champions League awards ceremony next season - the best team in Europe, the best goalkeeper, the best defender, the best midfielder, the best striker, the best player and so on.

……

On May 29, 2013, in the 35th round of the 2012/2013 Swiss Super League and the penultimate round of the league, Basel defeated Young People 3:0 away, Jiang Chenxi scored a goal in the game, which was also his 45th goal in the Swiss Super League this season.

Now, every time Jiang Chenxi scores an extra goal, he is setting a new single-season goal record in the Swiss top league.

In addition to the local media in Switzerland still discussing what height Jiang Chenxi's league goals will stay, more European mainstream media focus on where the future of the Chinese striker is?

Staying in Basel? The likelihood is extremely low.

Transfer?

Where does the transfer go?

The media gathered at the Babe training base and kept asking Basel coach Hawkie. Vogel, as well as club manager Kent Brown. Hasler on Jiang Chenxi's future.

The club has remained silent on the matter.

The reporters went to surround Jiang Chenxi again, and Jiang Chenxi remained silent for the time being.

……

On May 30th, Jiang Chenxi, Su Xun and Basel club manager Kent . Hasler and club chairman Bernhaas. Hessler held a covert closed-door meeting at the Babyby training base.

A day later, the day before the final match of the 2012/2013 Swiss Super League season, it was suddenly announced on the official website of FC Basel that the team's Chinese star Jiang Chenxi had officially entered the transfer market, and any team interested in Jiang Chenxi would need to contact Basel first to reach a consensus.

This statement is tantamount to telling all teams interested in Jiang Chenxi that the season is coming to an end, Jiang Chenxi can transfer, and if you want to get Jiang Chenxi, you can come to talk.

This is also tantamount to Basel FC's statement that it will not put obstacles in the way of Jiang Chenxi's transfer, and they will break up peacefully.

As long as you get the Basel Club and Jiang Chenxi is done, you can take away this freshly baked European Golden Boot!

……

The news was sensational.

After Salah has confirmed that he will officially move to Premier League giants Liverpool at the end of the season, another of the Basel twin stars and the favorite Chinese goalscorer of Basel fans, is also leaving Basel.

No one will doubt the possibility of Jiang Chenxi leaving Basel, although this statement does not mean that Jiang Chenxi's transfer is completed, but everyone knows that Jiang Chenxi is leaving Basel, the difference is only where to go.

The news was highlighted by the mainstream media in Europe, as well as in the local media in Switzerland.

Jiang Chenxi officially entered the transfer market and will leave Basel, which made Basel's fans a little sad, but no one protested, let alone fans burned Jiang Chenxi's jersey, no one scolded him, everything was calm.

Most Basel fans are used to this.

If we talk about the reaction and emotions of the fans, it will be more about the gratitude of the Chinese player for his outstanding performance this season.

Even the local media in Basel remained calm, and the players in Basel did well and then went to the big clubs, isn't this a normal script?

What they have to do now is not to sigh and criticize it, but to start looking back on the season, expressing their gratitude to the Basel Twins, brushing up on a wave of emotion and bringing a wave of rhythm to commemorate this extraordinary season.

……

Will Basel fans feel sorry and uncomfortable?

Of course, it's human nature.

However, this is the fate of a team in an alternative league like Basel, even if Basel is the top club in the Swiss Super League.

A group of players have made a result, and then these players are sold at a high price, and then use this transfer fee to bring in some unknown players, and strive to have a good performance in the Champions League again in a few years, get the Champions League broadcast share, make a sum of money, and then sell people at the same time, as long as they can maintain their dominance in the Swiss Super League, life can go on as usual.

This is the circular pattern they are familiar with.

Many years from now, fans may recall the success of the season, tell their children the story of the Basel twins, and reminisce about the past.

Of course, there may be some fans who will be very sad, feel unwilling, unwilling to be poached by the big ball clubs of the mainstream league, they feel sad, feel that the team and they are the protagonists of sad stories, but what can they do if they are unwilling?

That's the fate of a team like Basel.

Because they're small clubs!

Little Ball Club!

That's where this sad story comes in.

It is an unsolvable proposition.

More fans are used to this cycle, and when they see their own team stars in the big clubs, they will proudly say: That's our Jiang, that's our Salah, that's our Shaqiri......

……

June 1, 2013, the 36th round of the 2012/2013 Swiss Super League, the last match of the season.

Basel, St. Jakobs Park.

Basel at home vs St. Gallen.

This is also Jiang Chenxi's farewell battle in Basel.

It was a farewell battle between him and the city, with the stadium, with his teammates in Basel and with the fans in Basel.
