Chapter 142: Stability

After Avandzini shook off De Jong, he was about to enter the penalty area, when McCone finally chased back, he crashed into Avanzini with a sound of wind, and at the moment when Avanzini was about to enter the penalty area, he hit Avanzini hard, knocking Avanzini out of the pitch and hitting the billboard again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Xiao Yang stood up from the coach's bench at the moment of Ivanovic's pass, walked to the sidelines, and after seeing McConn's collision action, he yelled emotionally: "This is a malicious foul, does he want to abolish my player?" ”

The match supervisor comforted Xiao Yang and said: "Don't be too excited, I believe the referee will make a fair decision." ”

The Gossau fans in the stadium booed loudly to express their displeasure with McConn's egregious foul. Referee Sakarni ran to the scene of the incident, called McConn for the foul and showed him a yellow card. McCone did not argue with the decision, and immediately ran away with his head down.

Mancini has also been standing on the sidelines and watching the referee nervously, when he saw that the referee only showed a yellow card, he was also relieved, the referee's decision was absolutely merciful, and this foul was not in the penalty area, did not give Gossau a penalty, which is already a great luck in misfortune.

The Gosau fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision with loud boos, and Xiao Yang also told the match supervisor: "Look, such a bad foul only gave a yellow card, and my players have not stood up until now." ”

The match supervisor said embarrassedly: "Maybe the referee has his considerations." ”

Xiao Yang didn't care about fighting with him, he looked nervously at Avanzini who was still lying on the sidelines, and the team doctor of the Gosho team was examining him at this time.

After a while, the team doctor signaled to Xiao Yang that Avandzini had not suffered any injuries and that he could return to the game, and Xiao Yang was relieved.

When Avazini got up from the ground and walked back onto the pitch, the Gossau fans gave him thunderous applause.

After waving to the fans, Avazini stood in front of the ball and was about to take the free-kick himself. When Sakani's whistle blew and Avazini whipped in the free-kick, Egerman was on the back of the net again with a powerful header that City goalkeeper Hart didn't have time to react at such close range. Unexpectedly, the ball hit the crossbar again and then bounced off the bottom line.

Eggman was very annoyed, he felt good with this header, the power and angle were good, but he was a little bit unlucky. Today he hit the frame for the second time. However, he didn't forget to give Avandzini a thumbs up after he landed, signaling that he had passed the ball well, and Avandzini smiled at him and told him not to be discouraged.

Egerman's header made Mancini's heart beat violently again, and his mood did not calm down until the ball hit the woodwork and bounced off the bottom line. Mancini couldn't help but curse "Shet", and then he walked to the sideline and yelled: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him shoot so easily." ”

Jeromel agreed, but he was very aggrieved in his heart, staring at Eggman? It's easy to say, but how easy is it to do? If it's so easy to target him, how did he get so many goals every year? There is no shortage of world-class centre-backs who have defended Egerman, but they have all failed to please Egerman.

Complaining to complaining, Jeromel still clung to Eggman very dedicatedly, and there were more small movements in his hands.

McConn's inability to recover after this assist not only allowed him to receive a yellow card, but also almost caused Manchester City to concede the second goal, so then McCone began to be honest and did not dare to press too high; Manchester City's left-back Barnes also learned the lesson of McCone and easily did not dare to press the midfield to assist, which made the defensive pressure on Gosau's two flanks suddenly eased a lot.

Mancini was very dissatisfied with the current team's attack, and he had the intention to let the two full-backs strengthen the assists, but the scene that he almost conceded just now made him feel uneasy, and after thinking for a while, he used Ashley on the bench. Young replaced Guardado, who had a mediocre performance in this game, and hoped that Ashley. Young can help the team with a good performance.

Ashley. Young came on to be active, with his pace and two low crosses in the space of five minutes, one of which was narrowly missed by Sergio Aguero and the other by Salihovic.

Xiao Yang's face was a little solemn, and he immediately made the first substitution adjustment of the game, replacing Horensten with a stronger defensive Sampedro, and the equally fast Sampedro followed Ashley closely after coming on the field. Young, plus Ivanovic assisted in defense from time to time, immediately curbed his play.

In the 75th minute, Ivanovic made a long pass in the backfield, and after Egerman, who was pulled to the outside of the penalty area, received the ball, he shot a long shot at the edge of the penalty area, and hit Jeromel, who came forward to block his shot, and bounced off the bottom line, Gossau got a corner kick opportunity, because it was a corner kick on the left, so Avazini stepped forward to take the penalty, and his corner kick accurately found the top of Egerman's head again, Egerman did not waste this opportunity again this time, and his powerful header flew into the upper left corner of the goal.

Eggman ran to the stands of the Gossau fans with open arms, shouting loudly, his frustration at hitting the post twice in the game was relieved, and the Gossau fans let out a tsunami of cheers.

Duan Xuan's voice rang out: "Avandzini sent a corner kick, Eggman grabbed the point, headed the goal, and the ball went in!!!!!! It was now the 77th minute, and Gosau extended the score to 2:0, which basically declared Manchester City's defeat in this game. Egerman is a key man for Gosau and has stepped up whenever Gosau needs to score. ”

Mancini rushed to the sidelines in annoyance and yelled at Jeromel: "Can you keep an eye on him? Jeromel lowered his head and didn't make a sound, he felt that he was really trying his best, when he grabbed the point just now, in order to grab the position, he even used his hand, but he felt that he couldn't pull Eggman at all, Eggman was like a humanoid monster, too powerful. But he couldn't tell Mancini in that case, that would only make Mancini feel that he was shirking his responsibility.

After Mancini yelled for a while, he looked helplessly at his bench, he was already 0:2 behind, he had no other choice but to continue to replace the attacking players, and strive to get back the score, even if he couldn't equalize, it would be good if he could score a goal, and if he was tied with Gosau, maybe this goal would be very crucial.

After taking a look at the players on the bench, Roberto Mancini replaced left-back Barnes with Spanish striker Soldado, hoping to score with the frantic tactics of a front three.

Xiao Yang also made an immediate substitution, replacing Coutinghoe with Silva to strengthen the defense in the penalty area. After five minutes, Xiao Yang replaced captain Avandzini with Tobinski, and in this period of play, Avandzini's physical consumption was also very large, and now it is completely supported by willpower. Xiao Yang needs to maintain a player with excellent counter-attacking ability in front.

Tobinski's presence really made the Manchester City team dare not completely press, and McCone has been honestly staying in the backfield, guarding against Tobinski's counterattack. In this case, Manchester City's attack did not have much effect, and in the end, Gosau won 2-0 at home.

As soon as referee Sacani blew the whistle for the end of the game, Xiao Yang walked towards Mancini with a smile on his face, stretched out his right hand to him and said, "I'm sorry, my team won." ”

Not to be outdone, Mancini said, "I'll be waiting for you in Manchester." ”

Gosau won two straight wins in Group H of this season's Champions League after a home win over Manchester City, topping the group with six points, and in the other game of this round, Paris Saint-Germain beat CSKA Sofia 5-0 at home, they are level on three points with Manchester City and have several more goal differences, but because they lost to their opponents in a direct encounter with Manchester City, they can only sit third behind Manchester City, and CSKA Sofia is of course at the bottom of the group without any suspense.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Xiao Yang: "Mr. Xiao Yang, first of all, congratulations to your team on winning this game. Now that your team has won two in a row in this 'Super Group of Death' and is in a strong position to qualify from the group, can it be said that your team is already guaranteed a ticket to qualify from the group? ”

Xiao Yang smiled indifferently and said: "The two consecutive wins in the opening game did give us an advantageous position, but we will not take it lightly." There are too many examples of good beginnings in history but then miserable results. We're still going to play every game and we're not going to relax until we're sure we've qualified. Because the opponents in our group are very strong, they will not give up qualification easily. ”

"Your team is going to play Paris Saint-Germain twice next and they are a very strong team, so which player do you think they are more worthy of attention?" A reporter asked Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang thought for a while and replied: "Paris Saint-Germain is indeed a strong opponent, they have been very strong in the past two years and have spent a lot of money. I think every player in their squad is very strong, and if I had to name one player to watch the most, it would probably be their striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been really good this past season. ”

In addition to a victory, another big takeaway for Gosau in this game was the excellent performance after Ivanovic retreated in the second half. Branislav Ivanovic is a well-rounded midfielder with excellent attacking and defensive, especially in combing the midfield and organising the attack.

In the first two seasons, Xiao Yang had to consciously cultivate Ivanovic to develop in the direction of metronome and commander in the midfield, and now it has paid off, especially in this game, in the second half, the threatening attack of the Gosho team was basically initiated by Ivanovic.

The midfield metronome needs to control the rhythm of the whole team's attack and defense, when to be fast, when to be slow, when to pass forward, when to pass back, it is up to him to decide. In the past, Xiao Yang did not ask the whole team to listen to Ivanovic's command in the game, and Ivanovic only played sporadically, until this game, Xiao Yang did not clarify Ivanovic's status at halftime.

Ivanovic has also shown that he is capable of playing the role of metronome in midfield. The representatives of the midfield metronome in today's world football include Xavi, Pirlo, Alonso, Modric and others, their common feature is that they have good ball holding ability and can hold the ball under the pressure of the opponent; Accurate passing, especially the ability to pass long distances of more than 40 meters; Good reading of the game, able to quickly identify the weak points of the opponent's defence, and be able to sketch out a reasonable passing route in his head at all times.

In addition to the above abilities, Ivanovic has other advantages that metronomes do not have, firstly, he is very strong in defense and confrontation, and most metronomes are weak in this aspect; Second, he is relatively fast and has a large range of running, which is important in today's increasingly fast-paced football game. Thirdly, he is very physical, enough to ensure 120 minutes of high-intensity play, and he rarely gets injured, which is also commendable, otherwise, even if a player is very capable, but he is always substituted because of physical exhaustion or injury, it is difficult to contribute to the team.

Ivanovic's growth has made Xiao Yang very happy, knowing that there are few players in the whole world football who can be called a midfield metronome, and you can imagine the value of such a player. Ivanovic's presence also gives Gosau more options for tactics.

After the game against Manchester City, Smith also reported a good news to Xiao Yang, that is, in addition to some external decoration and shop layout, all the game facilities of the Gosho team's new home stadium can be put into use, and if Xiao Yang needs, within half a month, the Gosho team can play in the new home game.

Xiao Yang was very surprised by this news, he thought about it, and then asked Smith: "If we wait for the exterior decoration and shop layout to be completed before using the new stadium, how long will it take?" ”

Smith replied, "In that case, it will probably be January next year." ”

"So we don't have to rush to use the new stadium, and when the stadium is fully completed, we will hold a beautiful stadium opening ceremony, and then hold the first game in the new stadium," Xiao Yang said. ”

Smith nodded.

Xiao Yang remembered something again: "The unveiling ceremony invites more famous people in world football, and the well-known sports media must also invite over, and you will use this unveiling ceremony to enhance the prestige of the Gosho Club as much as possible, and this matter will be handled by you." ”

Smith said, "Boss, I'm going to do this." ”

Xiao Yang said: "Also, let fans vote for the name of the stadium online, and it should be closed by the end of this year." By the day the new stadium is unveiled, there must be a resounding name. ”

Smith said, "Okay, I've got that in mind, and I'll go about it." ”

On 6 October, Gossau hosted NeuchΓ’tel in the league. In this game, Lima returned from injury, and Xiao Yang rested Antunovic and tried the midfield combination of Branislav Ivanovic and Lima. Branislav Ivanovic was excellent in this game, he groomed Gosau's midfield in order, and he held a baton in his hands, allowing the tempo of the whole game to change with his baton.

Branislav Ivanovic did not have a single direct assist in the game, but it was clear to everyone that Ivanovic was the director of the game, and in the end, Gossau won 4-0, with Eggman scoring two, Horensten netting a goal and Esposito netting another. At the end of the match, Ivanovic was replaced by Antunovic and the crowd stood up to give Ivanovic a round of applause.

The Swiss media first noticed this tactical change in the Gosau team, they affirmed Ivanovic's performance, and compared his name with Pirlo, Alonso, Xavi and others, believing that the Gosau team is undergoing a tactical transformation, and when the Gosau team completes the tactical transformation, it will become more mature and more terrifying.

As if to confirm the media's prediction, in the league three days later, Gosho challenged Arau away and played a jaw-dropping score, 8:0, which set the record for Gosau's largest win in the Swiss Super League and the record for the largest away win.

With only three days to go and a national team break after this game, the main players of the Gosho team will be selected for their respective national teams for the final two games of the 2014 World Cup group stage, so Xiao Yang still used most of the rotation players in this game, with Ivanovic and Cabanas forming the back two of the Gosau team.

Aarau are now fighting for relegation, and they are really fighting hard in this game, and they still have the idea of picking up points against Gosau's substitute lineup, but their efforts are like beating cotton with their fists, and they can't do anything. The Aarau players sadly discovered that what they thought was a well-organized defence was flawed in Ivanovic's eyes.

Branislav Ivanovic was able to spot a hole in Aarau's defence and pass the ball there in time, and when the Aarau players made up for the hole, the Gossau players would make their flaws bigger and bigger by pulling and passing, and eventually lead to a goal. After three goals in less than 30 minutes of the opening period, the Arau team finally collapsed, and in the time that followed, they were defeated, and the Gosau team staged a goal feast.

Eggman staged a big four, Esposito, Tobinski, Sutter scored a goal each, and in the final moments of the game, Ivanovic was addicted, dribbling the ball past three of them, and then scored a wonderful world wave from the edge of the penalty area, drawing a perfect end to this goal shootout.

The massacre caused a huge repercussion after the game, not only because of Gosau's goalscoring record, but also because of Ivanovic's excellent performance, who was extremely comfortable with the role of metronome in midfield, and it seemed that this role was tailor-made for him.

Some media commented: "Ivanovic is like the conductor of a symphony orchestra, directing the other 21 players on the field to complete a perfect symphony performance." ”

"Ivanovic was put in the most suitable position by Coach Xiao Yang, and he shined brightly in this position!"

"In this game, it can be said that Ivanovic single-handedly destroyed the Aarau team, and the players of the Aarau team are like children who can't play in front of him."

'Branislav Ivanovic has been fantastic, and in time, when he matures a little more, his name will be on par with world-class stars like Xavi and Andrea Pirlo.

Xiao Yang also spoke highly of Ivanovic's performance in an interview with reporters: "Ninard's talent is extremely good, and he is also extremely hard in training, and even more fortunately, since he came to the Gossau team, he can learn from Antunovic, Avanzini, Lima, Cabanas and other excellent midfielders, he has absorbed the useful things of these players for himself, which can be regarded as a combination of strengths." ”

'Ninard is so different, I know a lot of media compare him to the likes of Xavi, Andrea Pirlo and Marcos Alonso, but his characteristics are actually different from those players, he is more physical, stronger, he is faster, he has more coverage on the pitch, and those characteristics mean that he has more contribution to the team and more control of the game.

'Of course, Ninard is still young and not very consistent, so it's not his peak yet, and in two years, when he's more mature, he'll be the best player in the world. I think he has the potential to create a new type of midfielder! ”

Xiao Yang's evaluation of Ivanovic has attracted great attention in world football, can Ivanovic really reach the height he said? Most people are still on the fence for the time being, after all, Ivanovic is still young and far from his peak form.

After the match against Aarau, it was the national team break, most of Gosau's main players were selected for their respective national teams to participate in the last two games of the group stage of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, and Lima was also selected for the first time in the Brazilian national team, because Brazil is the host of the 2014 World Cup, so the Brazilian team does not have to play the World Cup qualifiers, but in order to observe the state of the players, the Brazilian team still arranged two warm-up matches, and Lima also participated in these two warm-up matches.

After the international players left Gosho to report to the national team, the rest of the first team of Gosho team couldn't even make up the number of group matches, and Xiao Yang simply gave the team two days off.
