171 No wonder

There don't seem to be much of a problem with this game, and Gosho should be able to win it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xiao Yang also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ferguson, on the other hand, stubbornly clenched his fists tightly, refusing to return to the dugout, his mouth had stopped chewing gum, and he leaned forward slightly, looking intently at the pitch. Under the blowing of the evening breeze, his white hair looked a little scattered, which also made his back look a little lonely.

Xiao Yang looked at Ferguson's back and sighed in his heart, the so-called heroic twilight, but that's it. The years are really a pig-killing knife.

I didn't expect Ferguson to be eliminated by himself, but this is also something that can't be helped, as a coach's only responsibility is to lead his team to win and win honors, and he can't care who the opponent is.

In the final moments of the game, Manchester United came out of the nest to lay siege to Gosau's goal, and Gosau's two centre-forwards, Eggman and Esposito, both returned to the box to help defend and act as a temporary centre-back.

Eventually, after five minutes of stoppage time, the referee on duty, Herman, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then blew two short and one long whistles to mark the end of the game.

The substitutes and coaches of the Gosau team, who had been waiting for the end of the game on the sidelines, immediately rushed into the stadium and hugged the players on the field, and the Gosau fans in the stadium also boiled, and the Gosau team beat the mighty Manchester United team 4-2 at home and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with an aggregate score of 4-2.

Xiao Yang walked towards Ferguson, he deliberately put his pace down, but when approaching Ferguson, Ferguson still maintained a posture facing the field, obviously not knowing that he was coming.

Xiao Yang sighed in his heart, then coughed and shouted to Ferguson: "Old sir! ”

Ferguson woke up in shock, turned around, Xiao Yang stretched out his right hand to him, Ferguson shook hands with him, and then forced a smile: "I still want to congratulate you on advancing to the semifinals!" ”

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Thank you!" ”

Ferguson went on to say: "Since you win, then you have to win the Champions League for me. ”

Xiao Yang Zhengse said: "I will!" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't go to your house for drinks today." Ferguson laughed, but he smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, there will be a chance next time." Xiao Yang didn't know what to say.

Ferguson nodded to him before turning and walking to the visitors' dressing room.

Xiao Yang watched Ferguson walk into the dressing room before turning and running towards his players. Now let's cheer for the victory!

In his post-match press conference, Ferguson took the blame for the defeat on himself and then congratulated Gosau on reaching the last four of the Champions League, believing that Gosau would have the best chance of winning the Champions League this season.

Xiao Yang expressed his gratitude to Ferguson, and he also made it clear that the goal of the Gosau team this season is to defend the treble, and for this goal, he will lead the Gosau team to the past no matter who stands in the way.

Xiao Yang's declaration of defending the title made the Swiss reporters on the scene very excited, and they admired Xiao Yang's domineering spirit very much; Journalists from other countries are somewhat uncomfortable, they feel that Xiao Yang is a little arrogant, you must know that in a duel that ended at the same time, Bayern Munich has defeated Chelsea to enter the semi-finals, and two semi-final teams will be decided tomorrow, no matter which two teams enter the semi-finals, Xiao Yang should not treat them as nothing.

Unbeknownst to them, this was actually just a promise made by Xiao Yang to Ferguson.

When the second leg of the two quarter-finals on April 9 is over, all the Champions League semi-finals this season have been decided. Barcelona beat Lyon at home and Juventus narrowly beat Valencia to advance to the last four of this season's Champions League with Gossau and Bayern Munich.

After the final four list was produced, everyone gasped, this list is too luxurious, Gosau and Juventus were the opponents in the final of last season's Champions League, while Barcelona was the best performing team in Europe in previous seasons, and Bayern Munich of course needless to say, they were Champions League champions two seasons ago and are also one of the best teams in recent seasons.

In this season's Champions League, all the dark horses were strangled in advance, and none of them were able to stick to the top eight, so the average strength of this season's top four list is the strongest and most balanced. In recent years, the tradition of always having a dark horse team in the Champions League semi-finals has also been broken.

Fans are looking forward to the semi-finals and believe that this season's semi-finals are the two most exciting matchups. In contrast, most neutral fans don't care much about the result of the draw, because no matter which two teams draw one group, it will be a thrilling matchup like Mars hitting Earth.

The draw for the semi-finals will take place this Friday, on the evening of April 11 in Nyon, Switzerland. Xiao Yang is not particularly looking forward to which opponent will be drawn, anyway, these teams are not easy to play, no matter which team is drawn, the Gosho team must also do their best to defeat them. Of course, if possible, he would prefer to draw against Bayern Munich, because this is the only opponent that Gossau has not won.

The only meeting between Gosau and Bayern Munich so far has been in the UEFA Super Cup two years ago, when Gosau suffered a disappointing defeat to Bayern Munich.

Xiao Yang hopes to get a chance to take revenge and personally knock them out.

However, Xiao Yang's wish did not come true this time, and in the draw ceremony on April 11, Gosau was decided to face Barcelona and Bayern Munich will face Juventus to determine another place in the final.

Xiao Yang can only hope that Bayern Munich can reach the final and give Gossau a chance to get revenge.

On April 23, Gossau will play Barcelona away at the Camp Nou for the first leg of the semi-finals; And on April 29, the two teams will move to the Wind Thunder Stadium for the second match of the semi-finals.

Every round of the Champions League this season has been a tough match, and the signing is not very good, but they are lucky in the home and away arrangement, and each round is a small advantage.

There are a lot of grievances between Gosau and Barcelona, first of all, there are a lot of open and secret battles between Messi and Egerman, the top scorers of the two teams, and they are often compared by the media and fans.

Secondly, Gosau's strong rise is seen by many as a sign of Barcelona's decline, because in the past few seasons Barcelona has been so beautiful that it is known as the Barcelona dynasty; And now the Gosau team also has a tendency to build a dynasty, and the birth of a new dynasty of course means the decline of the old dynasty.

In fact, in the years since Gosau's rise, Barcelona have not won another major title in European competitions.

The two teams have only met twice in official competitions, in the Champions League group stage last season. The result was a 2-1 win for each team at their own home stadium, which can be described as a close score. Of course, the fact that Gosho are one point ahead of Barcelona at the top of the group table must also make Barcelona uncomfortable.

There are so many grievances between the two teams, I believe that this round of semi-final matchups will definitely be full of sparks and exciting.

Immediately after the draw was announced, the Catalan media began to trumpet that this matchup had come at the right time, that these two matches would be Barcelona's revenge and justification, that Barcelona would make Gossau feel the bitter and that everyone would know who was the real king.

Of course, the Swiss media will support Gossau and turn against the Catalan media. They said that Barcelona was not the best team at all in the past two seasons, and the team's main squad was aging and was not at all the opponent of the Gossau team. Even their position in La Liga has been strongly challenged by Real Madrid. This was already a precursor to the decline of the Barcelona dynasty.

Not to be left alone, the media in other countries have compared the two teams. Most media believe that in terms of attacking power, the two teams are basically comparable, and even the Gosau team is a little stronger in attacking because they have an Eggman; Defensively, Barcelona is still inferior to Gosau's, especially in terms of air defense, they are not top-notch, and in addition, they do not have a goalkeeper who can be reassured.

Of course, in the actual game, there can be no such simple comparison, many factors will affect the course of a game, but it can still be said that the probability of victory for the Gosho team will be a little greater.

There are also many media outlets that list the opponents of Barcelona and Gossau on the way to the semi-finals, Barcelona's opponents in the group stage are Lyon in France, Copenhagen in Denmark, and Rubin Kazan in Russia, and their opponents in the first knockout round are Galatasaray of Turkey, and their opponents in the quarterfinals are Lyon of France.

The opponents of the Gosau team in the group stage are Manchester City in England, Paris Saint-Germain in France, and CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria, and the opponent in the first round of knockout is Real Madrid, and the opponent in the quarterfinals is Manchester United.

Judging from this comparison, Barcelona did not encounter a real strong team in this season's Champions League matches, they passed every level with considerable ease, and they did not encounter a real test; The Gosau team has a big boss in every level, and their road to promotion can be described as frightening, but they have withstood the test and indisputably reached the top four.

Therefore, it can be said that Gosau's place in the last four is more valuable than Barcelona, and their ability to play hard-fought is also more trustworthy.

The media is in full swing, but Xiao Yang is not involved in the war of words, and he is now preparing for the game against Barcelona.

Although he is very confident in defeating his opponents, victory cannot be achieved in a vacuum, and without careful preparation before the game, rashly encountering strong opponents will only make the players helpless, and eventually lead to the defeat of the team.

From now on, Gosau's coaching staff will have to gather all the information on Barcelona, including footage of their recent matches, which will inform the coaching staff in determining the tactics they use.

Of course, you have to prepare for the game against Barcelona, but you still have to play the league.

Gosau have won the championship eight rounds in advance, but they can't completely abandon the league, firstly, the league can also help the main players to stay in shape, secondly, the young players can take turns to start to give them more experience, and thirdly, Xiao Yang also hopes to set a record of unbeaten championships throughout the season.

At present, the Gosho team has won 23 and drawn five in 28 league games, and has not tasted defeat, and with the current strength and momentum of the Gosho team, they are likely to set a record of unbeaten throughout the season.

The league is very long, and it is not easy to create an unbeaten record in a season, and over the years, only a few teams such as AC Milan and Arsenal have created this miracle among the countless giants in Europe. It is a great honor to be able to create this record, and Xiao Yang is certainly not exempt from vulgarity.

In fact, last season, the Gosho team only lost one game to the youth team in the whole season, but it was this game that caused the Gosho team to miss the opportunity to set a record.

Now that this season has been played to this point, Xiao Yang will not let this honor slip out of his hands like this, so he still has to take the remaining eight rounds of the league seriously.

On April 13, Xiao Yang led the Gosho team to the away team to challenge the Lucerne team.

Lucerne are currently eighth in the league but are just one point clear of ninth-placed St. Gallen and could be overtaken at any moment. If they want to get a direct relegation place, every game they play after that can be said to be a battle of life and death. Therefore, the Lucerne team did not show any fear of the rising Gosau team, but geared up to take points from the Gosau team who were fighting on both fronts.

In this game, Xiao Yang sent a mixed lineup of half main and half substitutes, and Gossau also encountered strong resistance from Lucerne away from home.

In the 19th minute, Lucerne striker Schouenbachler received right winger Fabian in the middle. Frei's pass, dribbling into the box and firing a low shot into the far corner opened the scoring for Lucerne.

Then the Gossau team launched a fierce counterattack, but under the full defense of the Lucerne team, the effect has not been very good, and the luck is average, so the first half is almost over, and they are still behind by one goal.

It wasn't until the 41st minute of the first half that Caudijho made a successful breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area, crossed near the bottom line, and Avandzini at the back point outflanked him in time and volleyed into the empty goal to equalize the score for Gosau.

Just three minutes later, Avandzini returned the favor when his cross from the left after the break broke through for Kautinhoe's header to put Gossau in the lead.

Two goals from Gossau near half-time left Lucerne demoralised a bit, but after a fifteen-minute break they picked up their spirits and launched an onslaught into Gosau's heartland.

In the second half, in order to preserve the physical fitness of the main players, Xiao Yang successively replaced Awanzini with Sartre, Kautinho with Zhou Guodong, and Gugelman with Clement.

In the 71st minute, it was Scheuenbachler who received a diagonal pass from midfielder Traore on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed directly into the near corner to tie the score at 2:2.

For the next 20 minutes, the two teams exchanged attacks and defenses, but neither team scored, until the first minute of stoppage time, Esposito burst into the penalty area, was brought to the ground by Lucerne's Albanian full-back Haqiri on the left side of the box, and the referee did not hesitate to blow a penalty. Antunovic made it all in one fell swoop and once again overtook the score for Gosau.

Antunovic's goal was the final goal of the game as Gosau beat Lucerne 3-2 to extend their unbeaten run in the league to 29 games this season. In addition, since the beginning of last season, Gossau have gone 56 games unbeaten in the Swiss Super League.

Now they are just two games away from AC Milan's record of 58 unbeaten league games, and the Swiss media are starting to hype about it, with most people hoping that Gosau can break AC Milan's unbeaten record and set a record for the unbeaten season.

On April 19, the Gosho team sat at home to face the young team who challenged the goal.

The last time Gossau lost in the Swiss Super League was away to the youngsters in the ninth round of last season, and now they are on the record-setting junkie and history seems to have gone through a cycle where they will have to cross the youth team to set a new record.

This game has rightfully become the highlight of this round of the league.

Petkovic, the head coach of the youth team, also shouted the slogan of winning against Gosau. He is not having a good time at the moment, as his youth team is currently only sixth in the league, which is not worthy of their status as a Swiss powerhouse; And sixth place can only make them just into the Europa League, and they may be overtaken by the teams behind them at any time, which is very unsafe, so they also need points to maintain their current position.

Petkovic also referred to AC Milan's record, saying that AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten run started and ended with Parma; And Gosau's current 56-game unbeaten run began and will end with young people. The young men will not let the Gosau team step over them easily, and they will snipe the Gosau team with all their might.

Petkovic's statement is certainly idealistic, but there is also some market for it. AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak did start with Parma and was ended by Parma, which made many people believe that it was not entirely a coincidence, but that there was a providence in the dark.

In fact, Petkovic had some sneaky concepts, and the first game of AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten run was a 0-0 draw with Parma, and the 59th game was a 0-1 loss to Parma; This is still a bit different from the situation of Gosau, who started their unbeaten run after losing 2-0 to the youngsters in the ninth round of the league last season.

If Gosau's next game is really going to follow AC Milan's script as Petkovic said, then it should be their first opponent of 56 games unbeaten - Neuchâtel - that ends Gosau's unbeaten streak, and more coincidentally, if Gosau can remain unbeaten in the next two league games, then their next opponent is Neuchâtel.

Of course, Petkovic himself may not have thought so deeply, and his remarks are nothing more than psychological tactics. Sometimes this mental tactic can be useful, and many strong teams have been caught up in some inexplicable spells, and have played in a mess in what should have been an easy game, only to suffer a rout. And after a long unbeaten run, the players can also develop psychological exhaustion, which is something that Petkovic hopes to exploit.

I don't know if Petkovic's words have an effect, or if the media hype has brought a psychological burden to Gosau's players, and many Gosau players have been a little inexplicably restless in the past few days.

Xiao Yang doesn't have a good way to solve this phenomenon, if he takes the initiative to mention this matter to the players, and uses materialism to tell them that the curse actually doesn't exist, it may not only not solve the problem, but will backfire.

Xiao Yang can only try to reduce the psychological pressure of the players now, he has slightly reduced the amount of training in training, and often jokes with the players in normal times. The rest can only be solved by the players themselves, in fact, this kind of thing is also easy to solve, after crossing the two levels of young people and Neuchâtel, the psychological pressure of the players will naturally be eliminated.

The so-called blame is not strange, but it is self-defeating.

In addition, although some players seem to be under a lot of psychological pressure, there are also many players who seem to be very relaxed, and they are motivated to get into the game as soon as possible. These include experienced veterans like Cabanas and Silva, players like Egerman and Avanzini, who are never afraid of anything, and some young players who only have the excitement of setting a record.

In the midst of everyone's anticipation, on April 19, the match between Gosau and the youth team at home finally began.

In this game, the youth team played its main role, and Xiao Yang still sent many substitutes in order to prepare for the crucial game against Barcelona in four days, and he tried to send players without psychological pressure, such as Cabanas, Silva, Hoddle, Avandzini, Eggman, etc.

From the start of the game, the young team started with an onslaught on Gosau, which also showed that their rhetoric about ending Gosau's unbeaten run was not empty words, and they did it. Of course, now that the Gosho team is fighting on two fronts, they can't fully focus on the league, and they can't beat the Gosau team at this time, so when can they wait?

Xiao Yang had expected the opening onslaught of the young team, and now the Gosho team is at the threshold of setting a record and has become the target of public criticism. It's understandable that no one wants to be a stepping stone to Gosau's record-setting, and it would be a huge honour for them to end Gosau's unbeaten run.
