In the VIP box at the Gruja Stadium.

The manager of the Basel Club, Kent . Hasler was sitting precariously, and beside him was a middle-aged man of thin build. Metz.

Gerg. Metz is Basel's sporting director and is a very low-key person who is rarely seen in the newspapers.

However, if you really know the inside scoop of Basel's top management, you will know that Gerg. Metz is the Chairman of Basel Bernhas. Mr. Hessler's cronies represent Hessler's will within the club.

Gerg. Metz rarely appears in public, but when he does, it is usually something big that happens.

What kind of big thing?

For example...... The head coach is out of class or something.

……

For this crucial match between Basel and Cluj in the second leg of the Champions League play-offs, the Basel hierarchy is clearly prepared with both hands.

The away team was able to reverse the promotion, the players got the 500,000 bonus, and the head coach Vogel also got through this crisis of confidence, singing, dancing and dancing, everything was fine.

However, if Basel fails to turn the tables and falls at the feet of Cluj, then Basel coach Heckey. Volger's life will not be easy, if the team is not only eliminated, the scene is not justified, the most serious result is that Volger is directly announced to be fired.

……

"Mr. President, is not very happy with Voger." Gerg. "He's too indecisive and not resolute enough. ”

Hasler nodded, admitting that, perhaps because the team reached the last 16 of the Champions League last season and successfully defended the title in the Swiss Super League last season, which is too good, so Warger has been a little hesitant about the positioning and transformation of this Basel team in the new season.

He has a vague attitude on the issue of reusing last season's decorated players and how to use young people.

Jiang Chenxi has been on the bench for a long time and has scored goals repeatedly, and Vogel began to reuse Jiang Chenxi, and gradually arranged the starting position, but the starting position has not yet been secured, but he was removed from the starting position after a poor performance in a game with Lausanne.

The decision was rather hasty, and most crucially, it was followed by the Champions League play-offs at home to Cluj, with Warger's re-appointed Streller doing nothing on the pitch and Basel losing 2-1 at home, laying a big hole for the play-off elimination.

……

To put it bluntly, grades speak.

If Vogel chooses to give Streller a chance again, and the latter scores against Cluj to help Basel win, all will be a problem. Everyone will only praise Vogel's excellent choice of personnel.

However, there is no if, the performance of Streller he chose is bad, and the media have compared Jiang Chenxi's hat trick in the Champions League qualifying debut with Norwegian Super League champion Molde, believing that Jiang Chenxi did not start in the game against Cluj, and Volger's employment arrangement is wrong, which is an important reason for Basel's home loss.

……

"I believe that in this game, if Jiang has a good performance, Hitkey can really realize what kind of decisive choice he should make." Kent. Hasler said he understands that it is difficult for Worgher to make a choice in the managerial position, but as a manager, you have to be bold or decisive enough to go to the left or to the right and not hesitate.

"I know that Jiang was introduced by you and Dieter together, and you have so much confidence in him." Gerg. Metz said in surprise.

"This is a young man who every time you watch him play, you feel that he is improving again and there are new surprises." Kent. "Gerg, I basically agree with you on this matter. ”

"When Hawky was at Bayern Munich, he was known for being good at developing young people." Hasler had a good word for the head coach, and in fact, this is what the Basel hierarchy currently admires for Worgher, and the German coach, despite being a bit vacillating in his choices, does have two brushes when it comes to the use and sculpting of young players.

……

Gerg. Metz nodded, and his opinion was the same as that of the club's president, Bernhas. Hesler's view is that since young people are doing well, they should be given more opportunities to perform, and they should not be denied and doubted because they have not performed well in a short period of time.

The outstanding performances of Jiang Chenxi and Salah have entered the Bernhas. Hessler's vision is to develop great young players and make a lot of money, which is Basel's way of doing business.

The previous Rakitic and Shaqiri, who just transferred to Bayern Munich this summer, are the best examples.

Suffice it to say that Basel head coach Hawky. Vogel even chose to reuse Marco. Streyler, this cannot be said to be wrong at a tactical level, after all, the pairing of Streller and Frei was the main configuration of the team last season.

However, from the point of view of the club's management, Vogel's choice is debatable.

Without him, Jiang Chenxi is 20 years old this year. Streller is 31 years old......

Youth represents the future and represents ...... Wealth.

……

At this point, the game on the field has already begun.

Despite playing at home and holding a 2-1 lead in the first leg, Cluj did not blindly press out to attack, but played very cautiously and conservatively from the beginning.

Obviously, the Clujs know that they only need a draw to qualify for this game, and it is their opponents Basel, not them, who are anxious now.

After the opening, Basel mainly attacked on the left side, Park Joo-ho and Gilles. Yappie's pair on the left is more on the left than Salah on the right and Marcus. Steinhofer's duo is more tacit.

Moreover, the captain Alexander. Frei is also on the left, Frei has a lot of experience, he is the most experienced player in the whole team in Europe, and in such a crucial game, Basel needs the experience and ability of the senior captain to make a way for them.

……

On the sidelines, Cluj coach Ivan. Anthony put his hands in his trouser pockets and stared nervously at the arena.

For Basel to choose the Chinese striker to start this game, this is a bit unexpected by Anthony, after all, in such a crucial game, sending a 20-year-old Chinese striker can be said to be a gamble.

For the Chinese striker, Anthony has studied Basel's game footage, especially in Basel's 5-0 win away to Molde, Jiang Chenxi left a deep impression on him.

A striker with good ability to grab points.

Putting aside the factors of age and experience, Anthony also has to admit that there is a certain reason for Vogel to choose Jiang Chenxi to gamble.

Therefore, Anthony did not dare to be careless, and after seeing the opponent's starting arrangement in the opening game, he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and called his own defender Nuno. Diogo's name told the Portuguese defender to pay attention to Jiang Chenxi's marking.

Subsequently, Anthony watched carefully for a while, and he saw that Basel focused on the left side of the attack, and nodded secretly, which was similar to what he expected, after all, the entire left side was Basel's fixed configuration last season, and the players had a good tacit understanding, and Basel's top scorer in recent seasons, Alexander. Frey was over there too.

For a while, Cluj's right flank was in danger, but there was no fighting on the left.

……

In the 21st minute of the game, Gilles. After a one-two with Park Joo-ho, Yappie used a feint to deceive Cluj's right-back Christian. Panin, who continued to take two steps, adjusted slightly, crossed the football into the penalty area.

Front point of Alexander. Frei was the captain of Basel and had a reputation for it, and immediately had defenders stick to it.

And Jiang Chenxi in the middle was also specially instructed by head coach Anthony to keep a close eye on the defense. Diogo is defending him.

Therefore, both Frey and Jiang Chenxi were closely guarded, and neither of them was able to grab the first landing point.

……

The football was rubbed by the defender, and at the back point, the slightly skinny Salah got the football and faced Cluj's left-back Laszlo. Sepsie, leaning forward suddenly, made a move to cut in, and suddenly suddenly the arch of his foot pushed, and the football from Laszlo. Sepsie rolled between his --- legs.

Laszlo. Sepsie subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and saw a player wearing a red and blue jersey rushing over.

The Basel player was flanked by his team-mate Nuno. Diogo, because it was in the penalty area, Diogo didn't dare to foul, so he could only desperately squeeze the position with Jiang Chenxi.

'Come on, Nuno! 'Lászlo. Sepsie cheered for his teammates from the inside.

Then, he was desperate to see Jiang Chenxi snatching in Nuno. Diogo threw his center of gravity out in front of him, scrambled to get his foot out and tackle the football.

The soccer jumps up from the goalkeeper who has just moved the center of gravity over Mario. Ferguelas' armpit swept under and flew into the net......
