Fabian Free is a record player. He’s captain. One of the greatest players in the history of FC Basel. And yet he will probably never be greater than Taulant Xhaka. Because Free Thurgau is. And Xhaka Basler. Raised in the city, a primeval rock. And because he never left FCB of his own accord. The embodiment of club loyalty.
«Tauli has a very high degree of identification with the club,” says Free. And he hopes probably secretly that he will be in tomorrow Conference league game will be on the field together with his old colleague against Trabzon. The duo formed the center of midfield in the 0-1 draw in the first leg. Frei says: “I am always happy when I can play with him. We complement each other well. He has his strengths, I have mine. And we also get along well off the field.”
At the end of the press conference, interim coach Heiko Vogel speaks of an ‘established personality’. Sunday against Napkin celebrates the muttenzer curve Replace Xhaka’s warm-up with chants. “That’s no coincidence,” says Vogel. You have to earn that status.
When asked how important the midfield terrier was in his considerations, Vogel replied: “It’s important, but so are all the other players.” Therefore be now as well enough has been said about Xhaka.
The question of the future of the FCB legend remains open. Xhaka and the club are currently in a contractual dispute.
For Vogel, who is interim coach and sports director at the same time, it is not an easy balancing act. He has to prepare the team for Trabzon and at the same time set the course for the future. Despite the double burden, the Palatinate sees it positively. About the negotiations with Xhaka, Vogel says: “Because I Tauli I can use synergies for training in the dressing room.” Of course, the double office is a multiple burden, says the 47-year-old. “But it’s also fun.”
Vogel cannot say how long the search for a coach will take. He will not report water levels every day. According to information from Blick should the long-standing youth coach at TSG Hoffenheim and current youth coach at Bayern Danny Reverberation (36) be a possible candidate.
Heiko Vogel is still on the sidelines against Trabzon. And will try to bend the 0:1 mortgage in front of almost 20,000 spectators from the first leg. Staff can the Palatinate except ComasAugustine and Calafiori draw from the full. Especially in the center where Xhaka and Free being at home, there are plenty of alternatives.
