Xiao Yang exaggerated exclaimed: "82-year-old Lafite? That's a great thing, but shouldn't they all be collectibles? ”
Ferguson pouted: "What collectible?" Wine is meant to be drunk, so what's the use of keeping them away? ”
Xiao Yang said: "Okay, then I'll be respectful, and I'll go and have a few drinks with you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ferguson glared and said, "Don't get cheap and sell well, I won't give him a drink!" And if United had lost to Gossau today, I wouldn't have drunk. ”
Xiao Yang said helplessly: "Well, I am deeply honored to invite you!" ”
Ferguson then said: "It's pretty much the same. Then he sighed again and said, "It's a pity that my heart is equipped with a pacemaker, and my old woman won't let me drink strong wine." Actually, my favorite drink is whiskey. ”
Xiao Yang was taken aback: "Your heart is not good?" So let's stop drinking, right? Do you want to drink tea? ”
Ferguson shook his head: "It's okay to drink some red wine, I know in my heart that after installing the pacemaker, it has been working normally for more than ten years, and it is estimated that it will not be a big problem to work for more than ten years." ”
At this time, UEFA staff came to urge the two to attend the post-match press conference, and Ferguson said to Xiao Yang: "Then let's go to the press conference first, I will wait for you outside the stadium after the press conference." ”
Xiao Yang nodded.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Ferguson: "Mr. Ferguson, are you happy with the result when Manchester United played 0-0 with Gossau on their home turf today?" ”
Ferguson thought for a moment and replied: "It should be said that the result is not bad, of course, it would have been better if Manchester United had scored a goal, but our luck today was not too good. ”
"Are you confident of winning the next away game?" The reporter continued to ask.
Ferguson seemed a little unhappy: "Of course, I've always had confidence in Manchester United. ”
When Xiao Yang was asked the same question, he replied: "Well, I'm also very happy with the performance of the players today. What's next? Of course, I'm confident that Gosau haven't lost on their home turf in European competitions so far. I'm sure this time will be no different. ”
After saying this, Xiao Yang glanced at Ferguson, who didn't seem to feel that Xiao Yang was looking at him, he was chewing gum vigorously, as if waiting for the press conference to end.
After the press conference, Xiao Yang asked Kaktas to lead the players back to the hotel first, and he went to his house with Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson must have called his wife Cathy in advance, and Cathy had prepared in advance and put the bottle of '82-year-old Lafite on the table, along with some small snacks on the table.
Cathy politely let Xiao Yang sit down at the table, looking very kind and gentle, but when she faced Ferguson, she didn't have a good face, she said with a straight face: "Remember your heart, don't drink too much." ”
Ferguson smiled bitterly and said, "I will, can you save me some face in front of the young man." ”
Cathy smiled, she turned to Xiao Yang and said, "Mr. Lin, then you use it slowly, I'll go down and rest first." ”
Xiao Yang hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, thank you, madam!" ”
When Cathy left, Ferguson poured wine into both glasses, and the two began to drink slowly.
After a few sips of wine, Ferguson spoke: "Lin, you really can't leave your club?" ”
Xiao Yang also estimated that Ferguson's invitation to him would not be just drinking, but Ferguson's question still made him stop drinking. After thinking about it, Xiao Yang shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be, unless one day I leave football." ”
Ferguson could actually expect Xiao Yang to say this, but he still didn't give up: "What if you come to Manchester United? This platform is much bigger than Gosau, and you have a lot of leeway. I'm sure with your ability, Manchester United will continue to go strong for decades. ”
Xiao Yang was a little touched by Ferguson's persistence, but he still shook his head: "I have a deep affection for the people in the club now, and I don't want to leave them. ”
Ferguson's eyes darkened, and he muttered: "Then who can I hand over Manchester United to in the future?" ”
Seeing Ferguson's sad appearance, Xiao Yang felt bad, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to pick up the wine glass and taste the wine carefully.
Suddenly, Ferguson's eyes lit up again, and he looked up and said to Xiao Yang: "If you are willing to come to Manchester United, I can guarantee that you will be able to get the same status here as me, you can decide who you buy, you can decide what tactics you use, and even you can get a stake in Manchester United, just like the status I got here." Aside from the impossibility of getting the full stake in Manchester United, you won't get any less power here than you would at Gossau FC. ”
After finishing speaking, Ferguson looked at Xiao Yang hopefully.
Xiao Yang put down the wine glass and said with a wry smile: "I really appreciate your kindness, but since you know me so well, you should also know my character." It's fair to say that I'm the same kind of person as you, and I don't like to stay in a place where others have already laid a good foundation, and in a team like this, even if I can achieve brilliant results, I will feel that it is not my own ability. ”
At this point, Xiao Yang paused, and then he continued: "I used to fantasize about leading giants like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Inter Milan to a big game in Europe. But that was what I thought when I didn't become a football coach yet, and now that I've been with Gosau for a few years, I prefer the feeling of starting from scratch, leading a team that has nothing to do and making a big splash in Europe. ”
Xiao Yang glanced at Ferguson: "When you first took over Manchester United, couldn't you also say that you started from scratch?" But you led Manchester United to create a Manchester United dynasty and stayed at Manchester United all your life and never went anywhere. I want to be a legendary manager like you. ”
The hope in Ferguson's eyes dimmed again, and he took a long sip of wine from his wine glass and said, "Alas, don't take what I said today to heart, I shouldn't have been a strong man." I'm just not willing to let Manchester United have no successor. ”
Putting down the glass, Ferguson touched his chest: "Hopefully it can hold up, and I can work for Manchester United for a few more years." ”
Xiao Yang comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, a great club like Manchester United will definitely find a great manager to continue to lead it." ”
Ferguson smiled wryly: "I hope so." ”
Xiao Yang saw that the old knight looked unhappy, so after drinking all the wine in the wine glass, he took his leave, and said to Ferguson: "Then I will go first, you can rest well." Next time I go to Gossau to play a game, I will also invite you to my house for a drink. ”
Ferguson laughed, as if he was in a better mood all of a sudden: "If the next time Manchester United wins, I'll go to your house." You know, I never drink after I lose. ”
Xiao Yang said-for-tat: "Then it is estimated that you can only be invited to my house for a drink after you retire." ”
Back in Switzerland, Gossau will continue to play away from home, and on 5 April, they travel to Aarau's home stadium to take on Aarau away.
This is the 28th round of the league and with Gossau now 25 points clear of second-placed Zurich, a win over Aarau in this game would have lifted the Swiss Super League title eight games ahead of schedule, and it would be their third consecutive title in the Swiss Super League.
This is a high-profile game, before the game, many media have made their own predictions, the vast majority of the media predicted that the Gosho team can defeat the opponent in this game and win the championship smoothly, of course, there are also a small number of media that the Gosho team will not send all the main forces in the middle of the two Champions League quarter-finals, and because Xiao Yang's attention is all on the Champions League, so they have the possibility of being upset. After all, the Aarau team is now fighting for relegation, and they are very motivated to play.
The head coach of the Aarau team, Shalibaum, also made it clear in an interview with reporters before the game that the Aarau team has only one goal in this game, that is, to do their best to win. In addition to not wanting to be a stepping stone for Gossau to win the title, Aarau is now in dire need of points.
At present, the Aarau team has only 16 points from 27 rounds, and the points gap between the 8th-place team and the 8th-place St. Gallen team is 18 points, and the points gap with the 9th-place Lucerne team is still 13 points, and the relegation situation is in jeopardy. Even if they are to finish ninth and secure a place in the promotion play-offs, they will need to close the 13-point gap to Lucerne in the final nine rounds, which is understandably difficult.
Therefore, Shalibaum issued a mobilization order to the players before the game, and he hoped that the players should play every game below as if it were a final, only then can it create a miracle and succeed in relegation.
The Swiss media also sent their best reporters to Aarau to report on Gossau's league triumph as soon as possible.
Xiao Yang was very low-key when interviewed by reporters, he did not express his determination to beat the Aarau team in this game, he said that the most important game for the Gossau team at present is the Champions League quarter-final second leg at home against Manchester United, due to the league's points advantage is relatively large, he may send all the rotation players in the game against the Aarau team, even if he is forced to draw he is acceptable.
The reporter who interviewed Xiao Yang said that now you only need one win to win the championship, of course you can be so easy, if your lead is not so big, even if the next game is against Manchester United, it is estimated that you will send at least half of the main force in this game.
Of course, this reporter didn't expect that why the points advantage of the Gosho team would be so big was not accumulated by others in the previous games, this is their ability. Then people are qualified to say such things now.
At 5:45 p.m. on April 5, this high-profile game started as scheduled, Xiao Yang really sent most of the rotation players, and the starting lineup of the Gosho team was:
Goalkeeper Cekcareli, left-back Cecaroni, right-back Clemente, centre-back is a combination of Henkoz and Silva, left winger Sartre, right midfielder Sampedro, midfielder Cabanas, midfielder Hoddle, forward is a combination of Esposito and Zhou Guodong.
With the exception of Cicarelli and Sampedro who started the last game against Manchester United, the rest of the squad were rotational players, and a few were even temporarily transferred from the youth team to the first team.
This also shows that what Xiao Yang said before the game is not a lie, and he did retain his strength in this game to prepare for the second leg against Manchester United.
Looking at the old and small starting lineup of the Gosho team, and several players who were transferred from the youth team did not get rid of the childish faces, the head coach of the Aarau team, Shalibaum, did not feel underestimated at all, on the contrary, he was very happy, and Xiao Yang sent this lineup also means that the Aarau team is not without hope of winning. No matter how talented the players in their youth team are, the Swiss Super League is still not as experienced as the players under their command.
Shalibaum has not been in a good position at the club lately, and can even be described as burnt. In the previous seasons, although the strength of the Aarau team was not good, but because the Swiss Super League will always have promotion and relegation every year, and there will be one or two teams that play abnormally, the Aarau team can be relegated every season, which can be described as a relegation professional.
However, this season's promoted Mazurich Grasshopper team has performed vigorously, and now they are still in the top four, and another promoted Malucern team is also a regular in the Swiss Super League, and the Swiss Super League is also very experienced, although they are still in the relegation zone, but they are still more than a dozen points more than the Aarau team, and the Aarau team is about to be relegated for the first time in several seasons.
The president of Aarau also gave Shalibaum a death order, if Aarau is relegated this season, then he will have to roll up and get out. Therefore, for the sake of his own job, Shalibaum can only fight hard now.
After the start of the game, Shalibaum commanded his players to take advantage of the home field and launched a fierce attack on Gosau in the opening period, and the young players of Gossau did have some panic and mistakes, allowing Aarau to get two good shots on goal, but fortunately Cicarelli performed well and cleared both shots one by one.
After a mistake by Henkoz gave his opponent a chance to shoot from close range, Checarelli, who made a good save, got up from the ground and yelled at Henkotz, pointing to his head and telling Henkoz to concentrate and not make another low-level mistake like this.
Henkotz didn't talk back, he knew it was really his fault, and silently walked back to his defensive position with his head down.
Silva walked over to Henkoz and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, lad, who hasn't made such a mistake when you were young, as long as you can remember how it was made, and don't make it again next time." ”
Henkoz looked up at Silva and nodded gratefully.
In the 12th minute of the game, Arau made a long pass to the left, and their French left winger Karim. After receiving the ball, Yoda made a combination with Burki and cut inside, and Gosau's young right-back Clement hesitated a little before Yoda got rid of his defence, and when he tried to chase again, he was already two positions away from Yoda.
Just as Clement was startling, a figure in Gosau's blue jersey rushed over and made a ferocious tackle that shoveled the ball off the touchline.
Clemente looked at it, and it was Cabanas who tackled. Cabanas got up from the ground and patted Clement on the shoulder and said, "Don't get distracted, young man. ”
Clement nodded vigorously.
Cabanas's ferocious tackle suddenly stalled the momentum of Arau's attack, and the young players of Gosau gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game under the words and deeds of several veteran players, and they slowly stabilized their positions and began to organize some attacks.
In the 21st minute of the game, Clement stepped in the assist, near the midfield, he attracted a defender of the opposing team, and passed the ball straight to Sampedro in front, Sampedro took the ball to the corner of the Aarau team and crossed with his feet, Gosau striker Zhou Guodong headed the ball to the middle, Hoddle cut in in time to push the ball into the empty goal, and opened the scoring for Gosau.
The Aarau team, who were behind the scoreline, pressed heavily under the command of head coach Shalibaum to quickly recover the score, but the back-up weakness caused them to suffer another blow a few minutes later.
In the 29th minute, the side cross of the Aarau team was headed out of the penalty area by Henkoz, Cabanas received the ball and distributed the ball to the left winger Sartre, Sartre was already unguarded in front of him, he drove straight into the ball until the opponent's 30-meter area, the central defender of the Aarau team came to make up for the defense, Sartre directly made a direct pass, handed the ball to Esposito, Esposito burst into the penalty area with the ball, and shot angrily at the goalkeeper who faced the Aarau team, and the ball drilled into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball.
The Gosho team led the Arau team 2:0, and the more than 2,000 Gosau fans who came to cheer with the team suddenly became excited, and they realized that the Gosau team was likely to win this game, which means that the Gosau team won the championship eight rounds in advance, and it also means that the Gosau team won the Swiss Super League three times in a row.
The Gossau fans cheered and gave their enthusiasm to the Gossau players on the field.
The players of the Aarau team seemed to be a little discouraged, no matter how hard they tried, it seemed to be useless, and the fact that they could not even beat the substitutes of the Gosau team gave them a deep sense of frustration. However, at the roar of manager Shalibaum, they once again picked themselves up and launched a fierce attack on the Gosau goal, fighting for their relegation dreams.
However, since then, the defense of the Gossau team has basically never made any mistakes, and has not given the Aarau team any opportunity to take advantage of, so the Aarau team has not scored. Fortunately, several counterattacks by the Gosho team were also in vain, otherwise if the Gosau team expanded the score again, the Arau team would have no hope of equalizing.
The 45 minutes of the first half ended quickly, and after a 15-minute halftime break, the two teams changed sides and fought again, and the Arau team still took the initiative on the field, they kept pressing the attack, but the offensive efficiency was not too high, and there were few attacks that could really pose a threat to the goal of the Gossau team.
In the 56th minute of the game, Sampedro made a successful steal on the right side of the midfield, snatched the ball at the opponent's feet, and then he immediately passed the ball straight to Zhou Guodong in front, Zhou Guodong dribbled the ball at high speed, and after two consecutive cooperation with Esposito on the left, Esposito burst into the penalty area with the ball and calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Gosau rewrote the score to 3:0.
After conceding the ball again, the players of the Aarau team seemed to be a little unable to run, they fought so hard in the previous game, the physical exertion was already very serious, and after another heavy blow, they felt that they no longer had the strength to run.
At this time, even the head coach of the Aarau team, Shalibaum, didn't have the heart to urge the players to attack anymore, he was a little resigned, this game was lost, after all, it was lost to the powerful Gosho team, it was better to retain some physical strength and fight with other opponents in the next game.
But at this time, there was a man on the field of the Arau team who had not given up, and he yelled at his teammates, telling them to cheer up and not give up.
That man was the captain of the Aarau team, Brazilian full-back Marcelo. Encouraged by him, the players of the Aarau team barely bred up their spirits and continued to launch the onslaught. After all, there is still more than half an hour left in the game, and they really shouldn't give up so early.
Xiao Yang took a look at Marcelo's information with a modifier and found that his potential was very high, reaching 162, and now his ability has also reached more than 140, and his spiritual attributes are particularly outstanding, but unfortunately he is a little older, he is more than 24 years old, or Xiao Yang really wants to buy him.
Marcelo's parent club is Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, and three seasons ago, Aarau bought him on a loan-to-buy basis for less than a million euros. After he came to the Aarau team, he quickly became the captain and the core of the Aarau team with his absolute strength, and he has been loyal to the Aarau team for several seasons, and he gave up the opportunity to go to a big club.
Xiao Yang likes such players very much, but the Gosau team is currently not short of full-backs, and Marcelo is a little older, so Xiao Yang thought about it, and it is better to fulfill Marcelo's loyalty to the Aarau team.
In the game that followed, Arau, led by Marcelo, launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Gosau team, completely ignoring their own defence, and their devastating attack completely suppressed the Gosau team back into their own half.
In the space of a dozen minutes, Aarau had three dangerous shots on goal, forcing Ceccareli to make three fine saves, and although they still didn't score, their efforts revitalized the dormant Aarau fans, who sang and applauded for their players.
