"Manchester City is one of the two best teams in football today, and Guardiola is a great football coach. If we can stand in the 1/8 game, it is already a victory, an incredible victory."

"But we still have the courage to beat Manchester City, although they have the best coaches and the best players."

"I played against Zhuo Yang in the Bundesliga. At that time, I knew that he would definitely become the most outstanding player, and he was even already. To be honest, I have always been a fan of Zhuo Yang and have been there very early."

Before the game, Basel coach Raphael Wiki praised him violently, but Zhuo Yang racked his brains and couldn't remember him.

Wiki is 41 years old, the same age as Raul, Ambro and Grosso. He spent his peak in Bremen, Atletico Madrid and Hamburg.

In the 2004-06 season, it was also two years after Zhuo Yang played in the Bundesliga in Madiburg. Wiki formed a very strong midfielder with Van der Fate, Beinrich, Barbaretz and others in Hamburg. Hamburg at that time also included Mada Wikiya, Naita Plateau, Mpunsa, etc.

Zhuo Yang did play against Wiki in the Bundesliga, but he doesn't even remember Van der Fate. How could he still remember Wiki?

Among the old friends in the stadium, the only one who still remembers Stefan Beinrich, because this guy is not only familiar with him, but also swears that he is a descendant of the ancient Chinese, and his ancestors were Baili Xi, the "Five-Yuan Doctor" of the Pre-Qin Dynasty.

Beinrich is quite interesting. He has played for 6 teams in 2018, and he played for three years in every team. Hamburg is his fifth three-year plan.

Zhuo Yang transferred to AC Milan in the summer of 2006. Beinrich, who had played in Hamburg for three years, free transfer to Rostock in the German Second Division.

Three years later, Zhuo Yang went to Barcelona again. The 37-year-old Beinrich announced his retirement in Rostock and then worked in youth training in Rostock. Later, Rostock was in a slump and fell into Germany and C. The club also reduced its scale. Beinrich went to Levkusen again. Now he is the assistant of the head coach of the pharmaceutical factory, Herrich.

Raphael Wiki is not as famous as Beinrich in football, and he is also very good. He was the main player of Hamburg midfielder in those two years and also represented the Swiss national team in the 2006 World Cup and the previous two European Cups.

At the end of 2009, the 32-year-old Wiki retired at the Major League Chivas Club and then returned to Basel to work as a team coach.

Last summer, after coach Urs Fischer led Basel to win the domestic double championship, he did not choose to renew his contract due to conflicts with the club's senior management, and left the person with his mark. Assistant coach Raphael Wiki was promoted.

Wiki is doing well, with only 10 teams in the Swiss Super League and playing four rounds in the league. After 21 rounds of the Swiss Super League this season, Basel ranked second in the standings and the Champions League also reached the top 16 three years later.

In the 2014-15 season, Basel and Real Madrid were in the same group. That time they beat Liverpool in the group and appeared with Real Madrid.

Zhuo Yang won his last Champions League game before the accident, which was the first round of the group vs. Basel at the Bernabeu.

In that game, Zhuo Yang scored two passes and led Real Madrid to a 7-1 victory. Shortly after that, he was suspended for the 'Pisjuan Stadium Battle'.

At that time, Basel's head coach was still Portuguese golden celebrity Paul Sousa. Now he is in the Chinese Super League and is the head coach of the "Duck" Pato.

Basel also played quite well in the Champions League group stage this year, surpassing CSKA and Benfica to qualify closely with Manchester United, and also beat the Mourinho Red Devils at home.

So, signing is indeed a good sign, but the battle at St. Jacques Park Stadium is not as easy as imagined.

Zurich, Geneva, and Basel are the third largest city in Switzerland, located in northwest Switzerland and bordering Germany by France.

Club Basel was founded in 1893, and they are the oldest red and blue stripes in the football world.

Six years after its establishment, Basel captain Hans Gambo made a fuss in the team. He was furious and ran to the streets of Barcelona to recruit soldiers again and founded Barcelona. Now Barcelona's training base is called Gambo Sports City.

Barcelona's red and blue come from Basel in Gambel. The traditional stripes of Barcelona and Catalonia are actually red and yellow, and they look orange from a distance.

.

Today, the head coach of the Chinese national team, Siriac Sforza, is also in the stands. Zago is on vacation. His Swiss home is in Basel, but he has never played in Switzerland Red and Blue. He was from the Zurich Grasshopper youth training.

However, Zago and Wiki have a good relationship. In the 1996 England European Championship, Zago was the No. 10 boss of the Swiss team, and the 19-year-old Wiki is a rookie in the national team.

Za Ge is amazing because he has achieved remarkable results in coaching the "Zhuo II" team and is now the only famous coach in the Swiss football industry.

Before the game, Zhuo Yang and "Zhuo Chui" Wiki exchanged affectionate greetings. Seeing Guardiola a little jealous, Zhuo Yang quickly invited him to come and greet him.

So, the four people were as harmonious as before the battle began on the mahjong table, praising each other in a daze.

Guardiola was not so confused that he took the compliment seriously. He came to St. Jacques Park Stadium, and Manchester City set up the strongest formation that can be taken out on paper.

Ederson, Walker, Lao Kong, Ota, Laporte, Fedinjing, Zhuo Kunmao.

In fact, Delf, who can play left-back, has recovered from injury, but playing in the Champions League knockout round as soon as he returns is not very humane to him or the team.

Secondly, although Laporte is not amazing to play as a left-back, it is a bit more convenient to use him than to use Danilo or Zinchenko - Manchester City can change into three central defenders at any time.

Four days ago, the second half of Leicester was destroyed by 3-5-2, and Guardiola felt it was a good sign.

Zhuo Yang and Basel played, but Manchester City did not. Today is the first time the two sides have met in history.

Three years have not been long. There are still a lot of people in Basel three years ago, but Zhuo Yang naturally has no impression of it. The only Basel player who has an impression of that game was Samuel, the Argentine ‘rock’ who returned to the Bernabeu.

Samuel retired in Basel the summer before yesterday and is now serving as an assistant coach in the Swiss Super League Lugano.

Three years ago, Real Madrid won all six games in the group stage, and Basel won one victory and draw against Liverpool became the key to their qualifying. In those two games, the outstanding Czech goalkeeper Thomas Vaccilik, midfielders Fabian Frey and Taurant Zacha were all in the starting lineup today.

Taurant Zhaka is Arsenal Granit Zhaka's biological brother, and the two brothers are one and a half years apart.

However, Big Zaka is not as good as Little Zaka. He has retreated from defensive midfielder to a central defender.

The Zhaka family was originally an Albanian in the Kosovo region. Due to the Southern War that year ago, the family fled to Switzerland to settle.

When he was young, Zhaka was a semi-professional player with two swords and an enlightenment coach for his two sons. Later, both brothers entered Basel youth training and were selected as Swiss national youth.

But my younger brother was selected by the Swiss national team in u19 and became a Swiss international. After u21, my older brother was still unable to wait for the call, so he simply joined the Albanian national team.

In the first round of the 2016 European Championship group stage, Switzerland played against Albania, and the two brothers had a good story.

There are several pairs of brothers like this in football. The most famous ones are naturally Boateng (Ghana) and Boateng (Germany). There are also De Guzman of the Netherlands, whose brother chose Canada.

Paul Pogba has two brothers, the eldest, Florentine Pogba is a Guinea international, and the second, Matthias Pogba also plays football, but nothing is.

Guardiola used to promote a pair of brothers from La Macia at Barcelona. Their father was the famous Brazilian star Mazinho.

Brother Thiago is now at Bayern. He rejected Brazil and chose the Spanish national team in 2011. His younger brother Rafina chose Brazil in 2015, but he is not very good at Barcelona now, and the World Cup lineup is even more stunning.

"Zhuo Yang, do you have any brothers?" asked Raphael Wiki.

"No, I'm the only son in my family. What's wrong?"

"What a pity." Wiki looked very sincere in his heart. "You have such outstanding sports genes, but you don't have brothers. It's really a loss of football... no, it's a loss of the entire human race."
