1/5

Yerevan. One of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded more than 6000 years ago. It is said that Noah’s Ark was stranded on Mount Ararat, this majestic 5,000-meter peak just outside the city gates. So much culture, so much history. Material for a thousand books.
But FCB will not be able to absorb much of all this. “You get the way from the airport to the hotel. And the road from the hotel to the training ground. “You can’t see much of the city on trips like this,” coach Alex Fry says.
The focus is on the fencing against the Armenian record champion Pionik. One drop is enough to spend the winter in Europe. Frey is confident that this will work. “We gained confidence in a good second half against YB. But it is a different competition. We know where we are and we want to win.”
‘Players can’t be that bad’
In the first leg match, Pepe won 3-1. The scene before Basel’s second goal, when a Bionic player remains suspended after a duel, causes debates, but Team Basel continues to play. Bionic coach Ijesh Melikian got angry after this: “The FCB can prepare for something in the second leg.”
Needless to say, Armenian journalists will be talking about Alex Fry before the second leg. “I was anticipating that question,” the FCB coach said. He replies that the referee’s decision is to boycott the match. “If he doesn’t, it’s up to the players to play the ball. But players can’t be that bad, and I’m sorry sometimes because they don’t play on purpose.”
FCB Big Candidate
No one doubts that Basel’s victory in the first leg was well deserved. There is also no doubt that FCB is the top candidate against Bionic. The Armenian record champions took 165th place in the UEFA rankings, while Bayern took 35th place. Once again it is the team that scores points for Switzerland in the five-year ranking.
Ligakroesus YB, the club with the best squad, failed to qualify for the Conference League. “I’m not malicious or anything,” Frey said when asked about Bern’s failure. “It’s a shame that we don’t have more teams in the group stage. We have to learn from this in the future that we are gathering all our strength at the beginning of the season so that we can get the points for Switzerland. It is good for everyone to take it seriously at the beginning of the season.”
