Chapter 125: The Final

The first half of the game has been very dull, the only bright spot is in the 24th minute, Fabregas in the backfield a long pass, found the vacant Bella, Vela in the penalty area near the arc of the decisive foot shot, the ball hit the post and bounced off the bottom line, out of Xiao Yang in a cold sweat, but then, Antunovic entangled Fabregas, Fabregas, the core of the organization fell silent, Arsenal's offensive stalled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the start of the second half, Xiao Yang first made adjustments, because if the 0:0 score was maintained, it would be the Gosau team that would be eliminated. At this time, he regretted his impatience in the first leg, and if he hadn't conceded that goal, Gosau would have been much more tactically proactive now. Xiao Yang let Ivanovic and Antunovic take turns to be more involved in the attack. After making this adjustment, Gosau's offensive has obviously improved, because Antunovic and Ivanovic are both the kind of players with strong dribbling ability and running ability, and their addition has given Gosau an extra point of possession and receiving in the front, Arsenal's back line has suddenly struggled a lot, and Gosau has also obtained several good shooting opportunities in a row.

Arsene Wenger also made an immediate change, moving Carrick and Cesc Fabregas back a bit to strengthen the central defence. Because he also knows that the score is now more favorable to Arsenal. Arsene Wenger would not have been defensively in Arsenal's heyday, but he has no one to use and no attacking strength at the moment, so he has to make that choice.

Will Arsenal attack sluggish? If this sentence had been used in the past, it would have been regarded as a joke, but for Arsenal now, this sentence is the best portrayal. They lack consistent scoring points right now, and they have often been held to a draw by the bottom few teams in the Premier League this season. It's their defence, which has become good with two defensive midfielders, Song and Carrick. Now Arsene Wenger is ready to hold on to the scoreline.

After Carrick and Cesc Fabregas dropped back, Gosau's attack intensified, with Avandzini, Horensten and Lima switching positions frequently, and their flexible movement put more and more pressure on Arsenal's backline, and even Albin and Walcott had to return to their own half often to help defend.

In the 75th minute, there was an accident on the field, Walcourt was in a retreat to defend Avanzini, in the face of Avantsini's feint, he changed his center of gravity in the high-speed run, and as a result, he fell to the ground, covered his ankle and rolled over, the referee immediately stopped the game, Arsenal's team doctor came on the field for a short examination, and signaled Wenger to replace. Arsene Wenger's face was pale, the last thing he wanted to see happened, it was not an accident, but the result of the end of the season, Theo Walquette is a player Wenger relies on a lot, he has played almost all the games of the Arsenal team this season, he is too tired. His injury this time and Song's injury in the last game were both due to physical reasons.

Arsene Wenger reluctantly replaced Walcott with Gibbs, a young player from England who can play as an attacking defender and on the wing of midfield, and has good defensive ability, and Wenger also hopes to strengthen the defense on the wing.

After Walcott went off the field due to injury, Xiao Yang immediately replaced Sanchez with Ribeiro, and now that Walcott's counter-attacking threat has been removed, Xiao Yang must of course replace Ribeiro, who has more assist ability, to strengthen the attack. In addition, he replaced Lima with Kautinjo and moved the more physical Branislavic forward to play in the midfield, so that Gosau reverted to their usual 442 diamond midfield tactics, which made Gosau's attack more aggressive.

In desperation, Arsene Wenger replaced the inactive Bendtner with young Norwegian defender Nordvedt, and put three centre-backs in the box to continue to strengthen the defence, and he is now determined to keep the score 0-0 until the end of the game.

As a result, at Arsenal's home stadium, there was a spectacle of the home team being pressed by the away team in the backfield, and the whole Arsenal team except for Vela returned to their own half-court defense. I have to say that Arsenal, an attacking team in the eyes of fans in the past, has been forced to train their defense in this year's Premier League, and they still have hope of qualifying for the Champions League, and it can be said that the biggest contributor is their backline.

Arsenal's previously inconsistent Polish goalkeeper Fabianski played at a very high level in this game, he received high and low blocks, saved several dangerous attacks by Gosau in a row, and tried to keep the goal until the 88th minute of the game, the score was still 0:0.

In the 88th minute, a long pass of the Gosho team was headed out of the penalty area by Arsenal central defender Jurou, and the right-back Gugelman of the Gosau team, who assisted forward, intercepted the incoming ball, and after Carrick pressed up, he passed the ball to Avandzini who pulled to the right side, Carrick hurriedly chased after him, and defended Avanzini with left-back Klich, Avandzini controlled the ball and moved to the bottom line with small steps, Carrick and Klicy did not dare to rush out, just followed Avanzini and blocked the line of his inward cut and cross. Suddenly, Avandzini sped up to break through to the baseline, Carrick and Klich also sped up to follow, but when it was almost to the baseline, Avandzini made a sharp stop, and then pulled the ball back with his right foot, at this time he was facing the goal sideways, and when the two defenders were trying to adjust their center of gravity and wanted to continue to follow Avanzini, Avandzini crossed with his left foot, and the ball passed through the gap between Carrick and Klich.

At this time, Arsenal's penalty area was in chaos, and the vicinity of the small penalty area was almost crowded, and Gosau's central defender Salihovic, who had strong header ability, rushed up and acted as a center forward to try to grab points. Seeing Avandzini's cross, Hurala jumped up in the Arsenal penalty area, this scene is really a spectacle, but Avandzini's cross is very high, no one grabbed the first point, the ball flew to the back point, at this time, from the penalty area near a figure began to sprint, jump, everyone was looking at him, it turned out, he was Eggman.

Instead of crowding in front of the overcrowded goal, Eggman retreated slightly, which was more conducive to his sprint, when he saw Avandzini's cross, he began to sprint, and then jumped, when he started to sprint, the frightened Arsenal central defender Juru wanted to pull his shirt, but was also broken free by Eggman, Eggman felt that he was full of strength at this moment, his jump was very full, he jumped higher than ever, when he jumped to the highest point, the ball flew right in front of him, He tugged his abdomen in the air, his forehead leaned forward, and he hit the ball with a powerful force, the moment he hit the ball, because of the impact, he couldn't hear any sound, he saw the ball being hit by him, and changed direction suddenly, he saw Arsenal's goalkeeper Fabianski flying to save with a panicked face, he saw Fabregas standing in front of the post trying to jump up, trying to push the ball out, and then he saw the ball drill into the upper left corner of the goal without hindrance, and the Arsenal players looked depressed, The faces of Gosau's players were in ecstasy, and the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in the stands fell silent, while a small area of Gosau fans in the stands began to boil.

It was only when Egerman landed in the air that he began to hear the sounds, he heard the referee blowing the whistle to signal that the goal was valid, and he heard the cheers of the players and fans of Gossau, and Eggman rushed to the stands of the fans in Gosau, his right hand was on his ear, and he wanted to hear more cheers from the fans, it was the most beautiful sound in the world.

All the players in Gosau ran to Egerman's side again, and they began to bow to Egerman again, this man is so strong, he can stand up in time to break the ice for the team every time the Gosau team is in danger, and at the end of this kind of game, he gave such a valuable goal as scheduled. No, with the Champions League prize money getting higher and higher, his goal could be worth tens of millions of euros.

CTV's commentator Duan Xuan roared frantically: "In the 88th minute, the game has been played in the 88th minute, Eggman scored a golden goal for Gosau, Gosau led Arsenal 1:0, if this score is maintained to the end, the Champions League newcomer Gosau will enter the final of this season's Champions League!" ”

Arsene Wenger watched from the sidelines in the second half, his fists clenched tightly and staring nervously at the pitch. When he saw Egerman score a goal, he flicked his fist angrily and let out an "fxxk" in his mouth, and then he immediately replaced full-back Klicy with Brazilian striker Rodrigo, and then waved his arms to signal his team to fight back.

With the referee's intervention, the players of the Gosho team stopped celebrating and returned to the pitch. By this time, the game had entered injury time, and the Arsenal players launched a frenzied attack, and even their goalkeeper Fabianski rushed into the Gosau penalty area. Xiao Yang let Antunovic return to the penalty area to play central defender, and Eggman and Kautingho, the two big men, also consciously returned to their own penalty area to help defend, although their defensive skills are not worth mentioning, but now Arsenal in order to save time, play a long pass rush, so their header ability is still very useful in defense.

Arsenal's long ball rush looked ferocious, but it was repeatedly unsuccessful in front of the long man in the Gossau penalty area. However, Xiao Yang still looked at the situation on the court with a nervous face, he was afraid that there would be some accidents and drag the game into extra time, but it was slightly beneficial to Ge Shao that Xiao Yang still had a card in his hand that had not been played, and he still had a substitution place, even if he entered overtime, Xiao Yang could make another adjustment, and he believed that with Ge Shao's physical advantage, he could also drag down Arsenal.

In the end, the game was not allowed to go to extra time, and after five minutes of stoppage time, the referee looked down at his watch and blew the whistle for the end of the game. The Arsenal players who were running wildly stood still like robots that had been collectively pressed the switch, and after a while, many Arsenal players hid their faces and cried, and some fell to their knees on the grass with a weak plop. Indeed, the chance to reach the Champions League final is so precious that many good players may not be able to do it once in a lifetime, but they fall when it is within reach.

Duan Xuan's roar sounded again: "It's over, the game is over, in the end, with a goal from Egerman, the Gosho team defeated the Arsenal team 1:0, and also eliminated the Arsenal team with an aggregate score of 2:1, and advanced to the final of this season's Champions League!" They are the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season, let's congratulate the Gosau team! ”

All the players of the Gosho team ran frantically towards Xiao Yang, lifted him up again, and then threw him into the air, once, twice, three times......

Wenger's clenched fist loosened, he lowered his head helplessly, and after a while, he hobbled onto the pitch with some staggering steps, comforting his players one by one. After a moment of silence, the Arsenal fans in the stadium began to sing again, and the Arsenal players on the pitch also stood up straight one by one in the singing of the fans.

After the Gosho team defeated Arsenal to advance to this season's Champions League final, the media throughout Europe have carried out a large report on this matter, and it has also set off a wave of Gosho fever among Chinese fans, Gosau can be said to be the biggest dark horse in the Champions League in recent years, from the qualifying round to the final final, which is legendary enough, plus Xiao Yang, the chairman and head coach of the Gosho team, is also from China, and has brought the team from the lower leagues to the current Champions League final in just four years, which is more like the plot of an inspirational novel. So today's Gossau has attracted the attention of the world, no less than the attention that Hoffenheim caused at the beginning, no, it should be said that it is far more than Hoffenheim, after all, Gossau reached the Champions League final, and Hoffenheim? So far, I haven't won the Bundesliga championship, so I can only be relegated in the Bundesliga.

The gentle press and public relations department also took advantage of Gosau's victory in the final to cooperate with some of the world's largest media outlets, and in the future, the name of the Gosau team and the news about the Gosau team will appear more and more in these most eye-catching media, and the prestige of the Gosau club will also be greatly increased in the shortest possible time. That's the benefit of the information explosion era, which was unthinkable in the last century, when no matter how good your results were, fans all over the world couldn't get your news in the first place, and they couldn't get as detailed and detailed as they do now.

Smith also reported to Xiao Yang that several new sponsors have come to Gosau to discuss sponsorship, and Gosau's original sponsors such as Nike have also sent senior executives to negotiate the renewal of the contract between the two parties, after all, Gosau's original sponsorship contract with Nike is only three years, and they can't sit still when Gosau's results are booming.

Xiao Yang smiled indifferently, and then instructed Smith to postpone all cooperation matters and wait until Gosau has all the games for the season before starting negotiations. Now Smith admires Xiao Yang so much, Xiao Yang asked him to sign contracts with all sponsors for only three years at most, and he was a little disapproving, because the price offered by Nike and other sponsors is the highest in Switzerland, he thinks there is no harm in signing longer, but he didn't expect that now that the year is not over, those sponsors will take the initiative to renew the contract again, and one by one they offered him a jaw-dropping price. So Smith is now obedient to Xiao Yang, and he immediately agreed to Xiao Yang's instructions.

Xiao Yang looked at Smith, this young man is very talented and capable, and he will be his right-hand man in the future, but after all, he has just graduated from school, and Gossau was only a small club a few years ago, so he will inevitably be a little lacking in confidence when facing some big predators. However, this is not a big problem, and I believe that after a few years of training and a full understanding of the future of Gossau FC, he will become more and more comfortable in this kind of business negotiation. He stood up, patted Smith on the shoulder and said, "Ryan, you are now the head of the commercial department of the Gossau club, your status is no worse than those sent by big companies, and I am very optimistic about your ability, so, you need to be confident." The future of the club is limitless, now it is not us begging them to sign a contract, but they are begging us, you have to be a little more confident. I am sure that you will be able to fight for the best interests of us. ”

Smith was thoughtful, and after a while, he laughed and said to Xiao Yang, "Boss, I know what to do." ”

Xiao Yang looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, make more money for us and come back." ”

The Champions League final against Juventus will take place on 25 May, with Gossau having five games to play, the first of which is the Swiss Northeast derby at home to St. Gallen on 5 May. Before this game, fans on both sides were shouting for revenge, with Gossau fans avenging the tackles last time they were tackled, while St. Gallen fans were avenging the home defeat. St Gallen are fifth in the table and are still in the zone for next season's European competition, but they are not far behind sixth-placed Sion, so they also need points to secure their position, and their manager Jose Moulinini has shouted the slogan of beating Gosau.

However, Morinini soon understood that it was useless to shout slogans, in this game, the Gossau team in the cheers of 3,000 fans at home, 4:0 without suspense against the St. Gallen team, the St. Gallen team due to the last bad foul, has been the focus of the Swiss Football Association, so their actions are slightly bigger, the referee will blow the whistle, and even give a yellow card, in the end they had to rein in their actions, in the normal game environment, the players of the Gossau team let go of their hands and feet, As a result, Avandzini, who was injured and absent in the previous game against St. Gallen, scored a hat-trick of assists, while Egerman scored a hat-trick and Antunovic scored a penalty.

At the post-match press conference, Molinini veilly criticized the Swiss Football Federation's bias in favor of Gosau, which Xiao Yang ignored, and the Swiss Football Association sternly warned Molinini to watch out for his remarks. Just kidding, Gosau are now the team that will play in the final of the European Champions League, if their main players are injured by a few more of you, will they still play in the final? Besides, as long as you play football normally, who will have a hard time with you? At the end of the day, it's your own problem.

Three days later, in the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup, Gossau met St. Gallen again, this time at the home of St. Gallen, and as a result, Egerman scored a hat-trick for the second time in a row to help Gosau, who had a heavily rotated line-up, beat their opponents 3-1 to reach the final of the Swiss Cup.

Morinini also sent all the main players in this game, but there was still no way to lose, this season the St. Gallen team faced Gossau five games, he reluctantly admitted the gap between the St. Gallen team and the Gossau team, but he vowed to strengthen the team next season and challenge the Gossau team.

With Gossau already winning the Swiss Super League this season and reaching the final of both the Champions League and the Swiss Cup, the media across Switzerland is getting excited again, can Gossau win the treble again this season? If you can win the treble this season, it will be much more valuable than last season. And it also marks a major step on the road to becoming a dynasty team.

In the 33rd round of the Swiss Super League on May 12, Gosau challenged Sion away from home, in this game, Xiao Yang sent all the substitutes, even Eggman did not start, as a result, Sion team, who tried their best to get into the top five, scored two goals in the first half, and in the second half, Xiao Yang sent Coldinhoe and Egerman, who scored one goal each after playing, to help Gossau draw 2:2 away from Sion.

On 18 May, Gossau faced Basel at home, and Egerman, who started the game, scored two goals to help Gossau beat Basel 2-0. Xiao Yang also sent a lot of rotation players in this game, and he arranged the playing time of the main players according to the advice of the physical coach and team doctor to ensure that their condition was at their best until the day of the Champions League final.

On 21 May, Gosau's home league against Thun was brought forward by the day, which was also a favourite given by the Swiss Football Federation to Gosau for the most important match of the season on the 25th. Xiao Yang sent all the substitutes, and as a result, in the first half of the game, Esposito and Tobinski scored a goal each, and after 70 minutes of the second half, Xiao Yang replaced Eggman and Avantsini, Eggman only played 20 minutes before scoring a crazy hat-trick, and in the end, Gosau swept the Thun team 5-1 at home. Gosau also ended their last match before the Champions League.

The day after the match, Xiao Yang boarded a flight to Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, to prepare for the final of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Xiao Yang has led the team to Istanbul for the second time this season, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was surrounded by countless reporters, and countless microphones were handed to him: "Mr. Xiao Yang, how do you feel about reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League?" ”

"Mr. Xiao Yang, do you have the confidence to beat Juventus and win the UEFA Champions League?"

"What kind of lineup will you make in the final?"

"Which Juventus player do you focus on?"
