The 2012/2013 Swiss Super League season kicks off very early, starting on 13 July.

For the head coach Hawkey. For Vogel, there is not much time left for him to scout the players and practice tactics.

The Basel squad for the new season is not going to change much from last season's squad.

In the goalkeeper's position, the thirty-four-year-old Italian goalkeeper Massimo . Colomba returned to the Italian league on a free transfer, but Colomba was the team's backup goalkeeper and only made a few appearances last season, and the team's main goalkeeper Sommer was in his playing years, so Colomba's departure had little impact on the team.

Basel has brought in 31-year-old Swiss free agent Germano from St. Gallen. Valati has promoted 18-year-old local youth academy player Mirko from the youth team. Salvi.

Bench depth is basically guaranteed in the goalkeeper position.

……

The biggest change is in the central defender position, 25-year-old Argentine player David Abraham moved to Getafe in La Liga; In addition, the 24-year-old Swiss defender Kusanga moved to Servet.

Subsequently, Basel quickly brought in younger, taller and stronger Argentine defender Gast. Langsoreau replaces David. Abraham's vacancy while promoting young centre-back Fabian from the reserves. Schal, the twenty-year-old is a player for the Swiss Olympic team and has a lot of talent.

……

In addition, it is the introduction of Chilean player Marcelo in the midfield position. D. Azzig, a player who is only 166cm tall, has good skills at his feet and has a wide field of vision, and can play as a full-back or playmaker, and the addition of David Degen, the twin brother of the team's right-back Philippe Degen, has also satisfied Volger, who is an all-round midfielder with excellent attack and defense, which can effectively enhance Basel's midfield.

Aziz and David. Degen's addition, the role he replaces, is also the team's rotation player.

In addition, the two remaining new signings are Egyptian youngster Mohammed, who joined the team in April. Salah, as well as Jiang Chenxi, who transferred to the team from Foggia.

So, overall, Basel's basic framework has not changed much compared to last season, and it can be said that it has basically retained last season's championship squad, in this case, what Volger has to do is to fine-tune the team, and at the same time let a few new signings of the team quickly integrate into his tactical system.

……

On June 16, Basel played their second warm-up match against Bundesliga side Munich 1860.

Jiang Chenxi was given another chance to come on as a substitute in the game, and he scored his first goal for Basel in an official match near the end of the game.

The match was played at the St. Jacobs Stadium, Basel's home stadium.

"Beautiful!" In the media gallery, Chinese reporters such as Yi Fan and Zhong Dajun applauded the goal.

This is just a supplementary score, not very beautiful, but it is an important help for Jiang Chenxi to win the opportunity to play in Basel.

Because it's a lore!

In a scorching situation, he came off the bench to score a stunner, which was a sign that could add points to the mind of manager Vogel.

In the end, with Jiang Chenxi's stunner, Basel defeated Munich 1860 3-2.

……

It's just that, what's interesting is that Jiang Chenxi's good friend Salah started again in this game, and was replaced early in the second half, Jiang Chenxi and Salah still couldn't play at the same time.

Compared with Jiang Chenxi's stunner's performance, the performance of the Egyptian boy who started half of the game today was relatively average, facing the tough defense of the Munich 1860 players, Salah, who was slightly weaker in confrontation, was tired of hand-to-hand combat with the opponent and was unable to play his own characteristics.

……

After the game, Salah was not very happy.

"Hey." Jiang Chenxi put her arms around Salah's neck, "Be happy." You've been starting in a row, which shows how much the manager values you. ”

"But......," Salah flattened.

"Nothing." Jiang Chenxi said with a smile, "We said let's cheer together and play together." ”

"I pass the ball ......," Salah said with a smile in a better mood.

"I'll score a goal,......" Jiang Chenxi laughed and rubbed Salah's curly hair.

……

The two have been insisting on practicing together after training, Salah passed, Jiang Chenxi shot, so to speak, the two young men sweated like rain on the training ground, and the tacit understanding is getting better and better.

This is the hard work of countless foot passes, countless shots, and the tacit understanding that has been slowly cultivated.

Of course, most importantly, both have a wonderful feeling:

It's a perfect fit.

The moment Salah passed the ball, Jiang Chenxi felt it, knew how to run, and chose the most suitable running route.

The moment Jiang Chenxi ran the position, Salah felt it, knew where to pass, and sent the most suitable pass.

It's hard to put into words, but the feeling is there.

There is a wonderful feeling of being in the heart.

Both of them are looking forward to playing together on the pitch and seeing if that subtle feeling in training is the same in the game.

……

On 21 June, Basel played their third warm-up match against Vienna, Austria at a neutral venue.

Jiang Chenxi got the first chance to start, but he was not able to score, in the face of the strength of Vienna, Basel played relatively passively, Jiang Chenxi did not get strong support from his teammates in front, and he was a little lonely.

In the second half of the game, Jiang Chenxi was replaced.

Salah didn't get a starting point this time, and shortly after Jiang Chenxi was replaced, Salah came into play.

However, the Egyptian boy did well, making three dangerous passes in his twenty-plus minutes on the field, but either his team-mates didn't run in place or were squandered by his team-mates.

At this moment, what Salah on the field was thinking in his mind: If it was Jiang Chenxi, he would definitely not waste his pass.

Off the field, Jiang Chenxi, who was sitting on the bench, also shook his head regretfully, if Salah was on the field in the first half, how good.

……

In the end, the score of the game was 0-0, and the two sides were tied.

Basel's head coach Hawky. Volger was not satisfied with the result, especially the performances of Jiang Chenxi and Salah, which he had to focus on, as the former did not get any chances and the latter seemed to be difficult to get along with his teammates up front.

Jiang Chenxi's personal ability has been recognized by Vogel, to be exact, the ability that the Chinese young man is showing now is a surprise to him, he is now thinking about how Jiang Chenxi can quickly integrate into the team, but, at present, the result is not optimistic.

For Salah, Vogel is also more appreciative, and he nodded to bring in the Egyptian, but now, the Egyptian young man has obviously not been able to integrate into the team, and his teammates do not seem to be in the same rhythm point.

Headache.

……

Assistant Coach Mutra. Yajin glanced at Vogel, his expression hesitated, and finally he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you let Jiang and Salah start together, I think the two of them have been practicing together, so they should have a tacit understanding." ”

This question, he has wanted to ask for a long time: why not let the two of them be together?
