Chapter Seventy-Nine: Boiling

Xiao Yang laughed: "You haven't given up yet? It doesn't matter, as long as you manage it well, your team will have such a day sooner or later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

After a day of rest in Brasov, the Gosho team returned to Switzerland, at the airport, they were treated like heroes, countless fans came to present flowers to them, and many female fans frequently threw winks and kisses at all the players of the Gosho team, even Xiao Yang, which made Xiao Yang not embarrassed.

After returning to the town of Gosau, the local government of Gosau arranged a huge parade of floats for the Gosau team, and all the residents of Gosau town went out to parade around all the members of the Gosau team to let them enjoy the glory of the championship.

The euphoria after winning the UEFA Cup lasted only a few days in Gosau's team, and on 13 May, Gossau was challenged at home to Lucerne, a game in the penultimate round of the league, with Xiao Yang sending a large number of substitutes to rest the players who had played the full 120 minutes in the League Cup final, but against the weaker teams in the relegation zone, Gosau still won the game 4-2, Lima scored twice, and Esposito and Branislav Ivanovic also scored one each. With the win, Gossau remains four points ahead of Zurich behind him, but with only two league games remaining, Gosau's first Swiss Premier League title is within reach.

On May 19, Gosau will continue to sit at home against the Zurich Grasshoppers, this game, Gosau can play in full force, Xiao Yang also issued a must-kill order, as long as Gosau wins this game, he will win the Swiss Super League championship this season one round in advance.

The Zurich Grasshoppers, who used to be giants, are now having a very hard time, with only 33 points so far, sitting at the bottom of the Swiss Super League, one point behind Lucerne in ninth place and three points behind promoted Maarau in eighth place, and the relegation situation is in jeopardy. During the winter break, their management wanted to fire head coach Geiger in advance, and they contacted many famous coaches in Switzerland, but no one was willing to take over the mess, and it is said that they even beat Xiao Yang's idea, and finally gave up because Xiao Yang became the chairman of the club Gossau in a flash. In the end, their plan to change the coach did not work out, and Geiger kept his position, but unexpectedly, his results in the second half of the season were even worse, bringing the Grasshoppers to their current predicament.

He said that his goal in Gossau was to get a point, and he also called on Lucerne and Aarau's opponents to respect sportsmanship and play with all their might, because Lucerne's opponent in this round is Basel, and Arau's opponent in this round is young people, they are all teams that have already secured qualification for next season's UEFA Cup and have no hope of entering the Champions Cup, and they have enough motivation to play, and Basel is the sworn enemy of the Grasshoppers. If a loss to an opponent in a game that doesn't matter to the big picture results in the Grasshoppers being relegated, they will be happy to do so.

Such a former strong, two seasons ago Swiss Super League champions, now has fallen to the point of whispering and begging his sworn enemy to help him snipe the relegation opponent, it is a bit sad to say, but this did not arouse Xiao Yang's sympathy, the grasshopper's current fate is their own choice, if now Gosau has won the championship, he doesn't mind letting the grasshopper team go, but now Gosau himself also needs these three points, then it's no wonder we.

This game also attracted a large number of reporters, because this game is related to the championship of the upstart Gosho team and the relegation of the old giant Grasshopper team at the same time, which is of course very eye-catching.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked, "Mr. Xiao Yang, what is your attitude towards this game?" ā€

Xiao Yang said: "Ambition must be achieved!" ā€

The reporter asked: "Do you know that the Grasshoppers are likely to be relegated if they lose this game?" ā€

Xiao Yang thought to himself, what does it matter to me that they are demoted? He replied slowly: "I just know that if we win this game, we will win the championship, and Mr. Geiger called on all Super League teams to respect sportsmanship before the game, and it just so happens that I am a person who respects sportsmanship a lot. ā€

The audience burst into laughter, and Geiger sat on the side, his face red and white for a while. A reporter asked: "So will you send Cabanas and Meyer in this game?" You know, they came out of the Grasshopper Team, and they have a deep affection for the Grasshopper Team. ā€

Xiao Yang replied: "Cabanas is my main player, he will definitely start, Meyer is also an important substitute, I will depend on the situation on the field whether he plays or not." As for their feelings for the Grasshoppers, I'm not worried at all, they have the same feelings for the Gosho team and I believe in their work ethic! In fact, he also asked Cabanas if he wanted to play this game, and he didn't want him to send someone else to start, but he didn't expect Cabanas to firmly ask to start.

In this game against the Grasshoppers, Xiao Yang sent all the main forces, Geiger also sent the strongest lineup he could send, the Gosho team has been in control of the situation on the field, they scored a goal in the 30th minute by Eggman, the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the half, and the Grasshoppers retreated to not let Gosho expand the score.

After the start of the second half, knowing that Lucerne led Basel 1:0 at home, and Arau also led the young people 1:0 at home, the Grasshopper team, which was facing the desperate situation of relegation, launched a desperate counterattack, the tragic momentum of the broken cauldron made the Gosho team a little scrambling for a while, and hundreds of Grasshopper fans who came to the home stadium of the Gosho team also began to cheer for the team, and in the 51st minute, the striker of the Grasshopper team, Costanzo, equalized the score for the Grasshopper team, and then they all retreated, setting up a bucket formation in front of their goal.

Xiao Yang yelled loudly on the sidelines for the players to strengthen their attacks, while Geiger stood on the sidelines with his fists clenched tightly and looked at the players on the court without saying a word, although he was only 50 years old, but his hair was already half white, and his white hair fluttered in the wind, making him look extremely sad.

In the 81st minute of the game, Lima was knocked down at the edge of the penalty area, Gosho won a well-placed free kick, Avandcini was ready to step forward to take the free kick, but Cabanas stepped forward and signaled Avannzini to give up the free kick opportunity to himself, Avandcini hesitated and asked: "Ricardo, do you really want to take this free kick?" Won't you be too stressed? ā€

Cabanas smiled and said, "It's nothing, please trust me." ā€

Avazini handed the ball to Cabanas, who bent down and carefully set it up before waiting for the referee's whistle. The hundreds of Grasshoppers fans who came with the team held their breath, clasped their hands, and prayed that Cabanas would not take the free-kick, knowing that they were doing the same thing a season ago when there was such a scene, but at that time they were praying for Cabanas to take the free-kick, but they didn't expect that after just one season, everything changed.

After the referee blew the whistle, Cabanas made a powerful run, pulled the ball with his right foot, the ball drew an arc, grazed the right post and drilled into the goal, Spiegel, the goalkeeper of the Grasshoppers, stretched his left hand to the limit and did not touch the ball, after he landed, he stared blankly at the ball that kept spinning in the net, and seemed to have lost all his strength.
