Xiao Yang said in the interview: "PSV Eindhoven are a great club in the history of European football and I have a lot of respect for them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoThey are very strong and they did very well in the Europa League last season. So this fight is not destined to be an easy one, and I will be prepared for difficulties. Of course, I still think we can win this game and win the first UEFA Super Cup in the club's history. ”

Stevens is a lot more low-key, he believes in the interview, the momentum of the Gosho team in recent years is very good, excellent players emerge in an endless stream, and now the strength is one of the strongest teams in Europe, and Eindhoven did not buy any newcomers this season, the original main force has been lost, therefore, Eindhoven is at a disadvantage in this game, of course, he also said that he will try to win this game.

Stevens' pre-match weakness did not make Xiao Yang let his guard down. Indeed, what Stevens said is the truth, after PSV Eindhoven won the Europa League last season, several of the main players who performed well have switched to big clubs, and they have not brought in any outstanding players, so the overall strength has indeed decreased compared to last season, and their strength is indeed in a weak position compared to Gosau, but this does not mean that PSV Eindhoven will be tied up in this game. Stevens' weakness is more likely to be a smokescreen.

There are many examples of weak defeats in football, and a winner-or-lose game like the Super Cup is a hotbed of upsets. With both sides equally hungry for the first UEFA Super Cup title in the club's history, it would be a fool's dream to win comfortably. Therefore, Xiao Yang and the coaching staff made careful preparations for this game early, arranged targeted tactics, and were also prepared to encounter various adverse situations in the game.

On behalf of the players, Avandzini assured Xiao Yang: "Boss, don't worry, we will take this Super Cup final seriously." This trophy is the only European trophy we haven't won, we lost so badly last time, and we won't let it slip out of our hands again! ”

Xiao Yang nodded with satisfaction, he also believed that after the knockout round of the Europa League against Atletico Madrid, the home team almost suffered a reversal after a big lead at home, and the players under his command would definitely remember the lesson and not despise every enemy.

The high-profile Super Cup final attracted a number of celebrities, including stars from the world of sports and entertainment, football legends, and managers of many football clubs, as the draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage will be held in Monaco two days later.

Before the game, the celebrities and managers who came to Monaco were interviewed by reporters and made their own predictions about the outcome of this game, and the vast majority of them believed that Gossau would win this game, because Gosau team's results in the past two years are too good.

Ferguson is the most optimistic about Gosau, telling reporters: "There is no suspense in this game, Xiao Yang will win his first UEFA Super Cup trophy. ”

Ferguson's remarks are eye-catching, because others are not so unsparing despite their optimism about Gosau, and they generally just say that Gossau has a better chance of winning.

Of course, there are also those who have fallen for the Gossau team, the most typical representative is the coach of the Real Madrid team, Jose Mourinho, who told reporters: "I don't think the Gosau team can win this game, a large part of their good results in the past two years are due to their good luck." PSV Eindhoven are a strong team and Coach Stevens is very experienced, so I think they will have the advantage. Not only will it be difficult for Gosau to win this game, but they will also be in true shape in European competition this season. ”

It's easy to have someone who is not optimistic about Gosau's team, and the reporters are like a treasure, they are well aware of the feud between Mourinho and Xiao Yang, so they hyped Mourinho's remarks to attract the attention of fans.

However, when the reporter interviewed Xiao Yang and asked him what he thought of Mourinho's remarks, Xiao Yang just smiled and said: "I don't care what the result of this game is, let's talk about it when the game is over." However, I think Mr. Mourinho should be more concerned about the situation at Real Madrid now. I'm curious, with such a formidable opponent as Barcelona, how can Mr. Mourinho still have the leisure to care about Gosau? ”

After Xiao Yang's words were revealed by the media, Mourinho is said to have dropped an ashtray in the hotel room where he was staying, of course, this incident is only alleged, Mourinho himself did not admit it, and he did not say anything about the Gosho team to reporters.

On August 30, this year's UEFA Super Cup was held as scheduled, and the major media around the world reported on the match, and of course CTV also broadcast the game live.

Duan Xuan was introducing the game to the audience as usual: "Good evening, everyone in front of the TV, now we are in Monaco to broadcast live the final of this year's UEFA Super Cup, against last season's UEFA Champions League champions Gossau of Switzerland and last season's Europa League winners PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands. Both teams are competing in the Super Cup for the second time in their history, although they both lost their first Super Cup fixture, so whoever wins today's game will claim the first UEFA Super Cup trophy in the club's history. ”

'The players from both sides are now on the pitch and let's take a look at the line-ups for both sides. The starting line-up of the Gossau team is goalkeeper Cekcareli, the 18-year-old young goalkeeper has become the main goalkeeper of the Gosau team this season, he is from Italy, he is tall, has excellent reflexes, has strong air dominance, and has similar technical characteristics to the legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who is now known as Buffon's successor. Gossau is Ribeiro at left-back, Gugelmann at right-back, Salihovic and Chivalli at two centre-backs, Antunovic at the back, Avannzini on the left, Horensten on the right, Lima up front, and Egerman and Kaudinho in the front. This lineup is also the main lineup of the Gosau team. ”

"PSV Eindhoven's goalkeeper is Brazilian goalkeeper Cassio, left-back Salchido, right-back Tol, and the two centre-backs are a combination of Mulder and Otamendi. PSV Eindhoven fielded three defensive midfielders in midfield today, with Belgium international Vuitens, two others being Strumman and Colombia international Rodriguez, Hungary international Rudzak on the left wing, Dutch rising star Gastel on the right wing, and Sweden international Toivonen playing as a lone striker. This line-up is different from PSV Eindhoven's usual formation, with a more defensive focus, and it seems that Coach Stevens is indeed very jealous of the strength of the Gossau team. ”

"With the whistle blowing from the referee on duty, Belgian Brickere, the game began. At the beginning of the game, Gosau, who attacked from left to right, first launched a fierce attack, Egerman cut forward to the edge of the penalty area after the kick-off to receive Avandzini's pass and came directly to a long-range shot, which was very threatening, and was lifted off the crossbar by Cassio's flying palm, and only 30 seconds away from the ball. It seems that the Gosau team is determined to win today's game. ”

Xiao Yang sat in the coach's box and watched the situation on the field, he was very satisfied with the form of the Gosho team today, the first two minutes of the game, the Gosau team had two very dangerous shots, after Egerman's long-range shot was blocked, Ribeiro's corner kick was grabbed by Salihovic to the first point and shook his head, the ball went straight to the far post, but unfortunately the Eindhoven team standing by the post right-back Thor headlined out of the box.

However, after watching for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yang's brows furrowed, although Eindhoven was passive on the field, but they did not panic at all, but started a fierce competition with the Gosho team from the midfield, the three defensive midfielders they arranged in the midfield are good, and they do not fall behind in the midfield competition, plus their two wingers run back and forth at any cost, so for a while Eindhoven and the Gosho team formed a stalemate, except for the opening two shots, There was not a single shot on goal for 10 minutes.

Although the game can't be played for a while, Xiao Yang is not ready to make any adjustments to the tactics, it is still early in the game, and Eindhoven also has no good opportunities, and Eindhoven's style of play is very physically demanding, and the opportunity for the Gosho team will come after their players' physical strength declines. So Xiao Yang decided to take another look at the game, and of course, he still walked to the sidelines, signaling the players to be more patient and not to be impatient.

Egerman is a little unhappy, today's game Eindhoven team in the midfield is very fierce, resulting in Gossau team's midfielder support for him is not enough, he can rarely get the ball, occasionally get the ball a few times, Eindhoven is also with two people to defend him, in addition to the central defender Mulder, Eindhoven's right-back Thor also often moves next to Egerman, making it difficult for Egerman to have a chance to shoot. These two defenders have a lot of small actions, which makes Eggman feel very uncomfortable, and sometimes they will deliberately provoke Eggman in the hope of provoking him, but Eggman is very disdainful and provokes me? You've succeeded, but there is a price to pay for provoking me.

Eggman began to take the initiative to increase the running without the ball, which made it very difficult for the two players who defended him, run with him, messed up his defensive formation, don't run with him, his head coach Stevens can explain, Eggman is the most dangerous figure in Gosau's team, and he must be followed.

Just as the two men hesitated, Gosau launched a dangerous attack. In the 14th minute, Gossau sent a free kick in the backfield, Salihovic drove the ball to the front with a big foot, Kautinho grabbed the header and knocked the ball back to Horensten, at this time Gugelmann suddenly stepped forward, and Horensten made a two-over-one cooperation, Horensten crossed after taking the ball down, he deliberately passed the ball relatively back, and Egerman, who retreated relatively large, received this pass on the penalty line, at this time only Thor followed him, he made a feint, easily shook off the angle, and was ready to shoot with his feet, Thor was in a hurry, tripping Eggman.

Referee Brickray's whistle blew and he ran to the place where the accident occurred, pointed his finger at the penalty spot, awarded the penalty without hesitation, and then called past Thor and showed him a yellow card. Several Eindhoven players surrounded him and signaled to Brickray that Thor had not committed a foul and should not have given a penalty, but the ball was very close to the place of the incident, and he could see it clearly that Thor had indeed tripped Eggman, and Eggman had already entered the penalty area at that time, so it was a penalty, and he resolutely signaled the Eindhoven players to withdraw from the penalty area and let Gossau take the penalty.

Xiao Yang stood up from the coach's seat, he was very, in this stalemate, if he could take advantage of this penalty to lead, the game would be much easier.

Stevens looked bad, and the penalty disrupted all his plans. He already took Egerman very seriously, but he didn't expect him to be able to use his individual ability to pose such a big threat to PSV Eindhoven's goal, what a terrible goalscorer.

Ribeiro came running from the back and was ready to take the penalty. He carefully placed the ball on the penalty spot, then took a few steps back and waited for the referee's whistle. PSV Eindhoven's goalkeeper Cassio was bouncing back and forth on the goal line, trying to disrupt Ribeiro.

Brickray's whistle blew, Ribeiro took a deep breath, and then started to run, when his right foot was raised and landed, Cassio pounced on the left side of the goal, but Ribeiro pushed a boccia ball in the middle, just as the ball was about to go in, Cassio stopped in the middle of the way, he dragged the ball with his right foot behind to block the ball out of the goal, PSV Eindhoven's midfielder Struman quickly rushed into the box and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

The Eindhoven fans, who had been holding back their voices in the stands, suddenly burst into a loud cheer, and they gave Cassio their applause without hesitation, which was a wonderful save and saved Eindhoven. After a brief silence, the fans in Gossau also began to sing and cheer for their team.

Stevens jumped from the dugout the moment Cassio saved the penalty, and the fact that he was close to his sixtieth birthday showed how excited he was and how hungry he was to get his hands on the trophy.

Xiao Yang looked at Stevens and sat back in the coach's seat with an expressionless face, although he was a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, after all, no matter how good the penalty kick is, it is impossible for someone to have a 100% success rate.

Ribeiro held his head in his hands, as if he couldn't believe he was going to miss the penalty, and Avazini walked up to him and said: "Hugo, don't take it too seriously. When everybody misses a penalty, I've missed it a couple of times and it's not a big deal. It wasn't a penalty and if we work hard we can win this game. Now get back to your position and play the next game. As he spoke, he patted Ribeiro on the shoulder.

Ribeiro put his hands down, looked at his captain, nodded gratefully, and ran back to his defensive position.

After the restart, the scene still did not change much, PSV Eindhoven players spared no effort in the midfield to fight for both sides of the attack to organise, the game was not smooth, frequently interrupted by Brickray's whistle, most of the fouls by Eindhoven players. Their fouls are generally not large, they don't get yellow cards, they don't foul in danger areas, they are basically fouls near the halfway line or on the wing, in short, to make Gosau's attack unorganized.

Xiao Yang smiled bitterly off the field, this seems to be the tactic he used to deal with strong teams such as Barcelona in the past, but he didn't expect it to be used by Stevens now on himself. Not to mention, this tactic works very well against strong teams with good possession.

Xiao Yang walked to the sideline again, he signaled his players to reduce the ball, try to get out of the ball with one kick, the players in the midfield should increase the running without the ball, and the two fullbacks should also actively assist, and strive to make every player have at least two contact points around him. In addition, he also instructed Antunovic separately to increase his forward insertion and strengthen his attack, because now PSV Eindhoven does not have a forward player, and it is also a waste of his offensive ability to keep Antunovic in the backfield.

After the tactical adjustment of the Gosho team, the Eindhoven team suddenly felt the pressure, the two wingers of the Gosho team, Avandzini and Horensten, are players who can play on both sides, and they have now increased the interspersed positions, which makes Eindhoven greatly increase the difficulty of defense, and after Antunovic added the forward insertion, although the three players in the middle of Eindhoven can still support, but they are no longer able to support the wing.

With frequent assists from Ribeiro and Gugelmann, PSV Eindhoven's two flanks began to freak havoc. Stevens saw this situation, there is no good way for the time being, after all, Eindhoven's current players can no longer compare with the Gosau team in terms of personal strength, he can only let his players take the initiative to recycle, shrink the defensive area, in this way, due to the small area to be defended, Eindhoven's defense is temporarily stable, but the price of this is that Eindhoven has completely given up the fight for midfield and has been completely on the defensive.

Xiao Yang looked at Eindhoven's iron bucket formation, and couldn't help sneering, wanting to use such a defense to hold the attack of the Gosho team? Don't you know that Gosau has the sharpest weapon to break through dense defenses - Eggman?

Gosau players gave more support to the front court after taking the initiative on the field, and Egerman also got more chances, but because Eindhoven always had two people following him, and Eindhoven's goalkeeper Cassio was in surprising form today, saving two Egerman shots, so Egerman has not yet scored.

In the 33rd minute, the Gosho team launched another attack, Avandzini took the ball to the front at high speed, and knocked the ball back to Ribeiro who stepped forward to assist after encountering the defense of the opponent, Ribeiro directly sent a 45-degree oblique long pass with his left foot, Eggman sprinted and grabbed the first header to rush to the top, this time Mulder and Thor neither pulled Eggman, Eggman's powerful header pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal, Cassio was helpless in the face of this close-range powerful header, although he had stretched his hand as long as possible, But I still narrowly missed the ball.

After the goal, Eggman frantically rushed to the stands of the Gossau fans, and thousands of Gossau fans who came to the scene to support the team shouted Egerman's name in the loudest voices, cheering for the goalscorer who repeatedly helped Gosau open the door to victory.

Xiao Yang also jumped up from the coach's seat, this goal is too important, Gosho will play better in the next games, PSV Eindhoven will have to press out if they want to win, and that means Gosho has more chances.

Stevens was a little frustrated, and he also knew that PSV Eindhoven were not comparable to Gosau's current strength, so his intention was to at least hold on to the first half without conceding a goal, so that his tactics in the second half would have more room to manoeuvre. Originally, his tactics were successful in the first half of the first half, but he didn't expect Xiao Yang to have to follow the rhythm of the Gosau team after a tactical adjustment.

Thinking of this, he looked at the excited Xiao Yang, he didn't expect such a young head coach to have such a deep attainment in tactics. Of course, this is also because Xiao Yang's cards are better than his own, so he has more tactical choices, and he only has such a few cards in his hand, and others have to pour out their pockets if they add a little bet.

Stevens's heart was a little sour, to put it mildly, it was still to blame the club's investment was not big enough, if he had a good hand like Xiao Yang in his hand, I believe that he would not lose to him tactically.

Come to think of it, Stevens didn't forget to direct the game, he walked to the sidelines and gave instructions to the players loudly

To Xiao Yang's slight surprise, Stevens did not let PSV Eindhoven launch a counterattack in the first place after conceding the goal, but let his players play a more resolute and intensive defense.

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Stevens is worthy of being a famous coach in Europe, he is not like an ordinary head coach, who immediately launches an offensive when he loses a ball, but does the opposite. In fact, if PSV Eindhoven switch from defence to attack now, Xiao Yang is confident that they can take advantage of their confusion in the transition between attack and defense and extend the score in the first half, in which case, the outcome of this game is almost a foregone conclusion.

And Stevens did this, obviously taking into account the difference in strength between the two teams, so first based on defense, stabilize the position, and strive not to concede goals in the first half, then, after the adjustment of the midfield, Eindhoven may also recover a goal in the second half.

Although Xiao Yang saw Stevens' intentions and directed the players to strengthen the attack and strive to score another goal before the end of the first half, but because PSV Eindhoven is now completely determined to defend the idea, even their lone striker Toivonen returned to his own half to help defend, and Cassio was in really good shape today, so until the end of the first half, the Gosho team failed to score again, and the two teams played 1:0 in the first half, and the Gosho team led by one goal into the halftime break.

Xiao Yang was a little regretful, but he was relieved when he thought about it, after all, now the Gosho team is still leading 1:0, even if he didn't score a goal, he didn't lose the belief that he must win, so what is there to regret when he is ahead?

In the locker room, Xiao Yang praised all the players in the team, and even Ribeiro, who missed a penalty, was praised by him, because Egerman's goal was assisted by Ribeiro, and he can be regarded as atonement.

In the second half of the game, Stevens used Portugal international Hugo. Viana replaced Vuitens, Viana is a very good technique, strong attacking midfielder, when the young Viana was once known as Portugal's former talented attacking midfielder, the limelight even overtook Ronaldo, when he was only 19 years old, he was bought by the Premier League powerhouse Newcastle United for a high price of 12 million euros, but because he did not adapt to the intensity of the Premier League, he played mediocre at Newcastle, and was later sold to Valencia for only 1.5 million pounds, and since then he has been in many teams, Until now, he has come to Eindhoven.

At this time, Viana is no longer the young genius of the year, at the age of 30, his face is full of vicissitudes, but the training in several teams has also given him a mature mentality, and he is playing better now than when he was younger. It's just that his current fitness is not very good, so Stevens can only use him as a secret weapon and let him play in the second half.

After Viana came on the pitch, he was very active in the front court, his speed was not very fast, but he was very flexible in his movement, his technique was also very good, he could play on the left side of the middle, so he and the Hungarian international on the left side of the Hungarian international Judzak often switched positions, so that PSV Eindhoven's offensive gradually improved.
