Xiao Yang jumped up from the coach's seat again, and he shouted to the game supervisor: "Look, look, this is the result of the referee's connivance." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After saying that, he ignored the game supervisor with an embarrassed face, and walked to the sideline to pay attention to Lima who fell to the ground with a stern expression. If Lima is also injured, what should be the squad for the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United? It's a real headache.

Referee Chilcheta showed Zambrela a red card and then a yellow card to Esposito, who only gave him a verbal warning as he did not make any physical gestures. Chilceta also gave them verbal warnings to a number of other players on both sides who were pulling.

Chilcheta's move temporarily quelled the clash on the pitch, at which point the team doctor who examined Lima signaled for Xiao Yang to make a substitution, and Lima could no longer continue the game. The Gossau fans in the stadium immediately let out another huge boo.

Xiao Yang patted his head hatefully, said "hell", and then spread his hands and said to the game supervisor: "Okay, that guy injured two of my important players to get a red card, such a price is too light, right?" ”

The match supervisor still said with an embarrassed face: "We will report what happens in the game to the referee committee." ”

After the game restarted, Xiao Yang replaced the injured Lima with Hoddle. The free-kick from Lima was taken by Sampedro and his shot was of high quality, but unfortunately the ball hit the left post and bounced off the bottom line, causing the fans to let out a loud sigh in unison.

After Basel then sent a goal kick, Basel's Hungarian striker Pastor received the ball on the edge of the box and was about to turn when Antunovic rushed at him from behind his flank and knocked him to the ground.

Basel were awarded a free-kick in a very good position and Antunovic was booked for an apparently vindictive foul.

Xiao Yang looked at the referee Chilceta hatefully off the field, this normal game, all messed up because he couldn't control the situation.

Pastor took the free-kick himself, and he took a world shot that grazed the junction of the post and the crossbar and drilled into the top right corner of the Gosau goal, a theoretical dead corner, and Checarelli had done his best, his left hand had reached the limit, but the ball still escaped his hand and drilled into the goal.

After levelling the score at 2-2, Basel coach Yakin made three defensive players in a row, hoping to hold on to the draw. Playing away from home against a strong Gossau side and with one man left on their side, it would be a very good result to hold on to the draw.

Xiao Yang immediately replaced left-back Cecaroni with Kautinho, trying to score another goal in the last ten minutes to win the victory, but in the last ten minutes, the two players were full of physical contact, and their minds seemed to be off the game, and the Basel players received two yellow cards, and Gosau's left winger Tobinski also received a yellow card for a tackle in front.

In the end, neither team was able to score again, and the game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Of course, the game was not as friendly as the scoreline, with visitors Basel receiving a total of five yellow cards and one red card, while the home team Gossau also received four yellow cards, and two more injured players went off the pitch in a costly manner.

In the post-match press conference, Xiao Yang lashed out at the referee on duty, Chilcheta, who he believed was Chilcheta's connivance and poor control of the scene, which made this otherwise ordinary game full of gunpowder and brutal fouls, and caused injuries to two important players in the Gosau team; At the same time, he also condemned Basel's Zambrela for his dirty actions on the field.

Basel's head coach Yakin knew that he was wrong, and did not refute Xiao Yang's words, he hastily answered a few questions and left the press conference venue.

After the incident, Xiao Yang was fined 50,000 euros by the Swiss Football Association for criticizing the referee, and the referee Chilceta was indefinitely suspended by the Swiss referees committee from enforcing the qualification of the Swiss Super League, while Basel committed two serious fouls, and the midfielder Zambrela, who injured two players of the Gossau team, was banned for ten Swiss domestic matches and fined 100,000 euros.

The Swiss Football Association's punishment is basically painless for Xiao Yang, and for referee Chilceta does not mean that he will lose his job, because he is a referee trained by the Swiss Football Association, and he will still return to the field when the time is right.

Of course, the punishment for Zambrela was heavier, after all, his two fouls were very bad and caused serious consequences.

After the decision of the Swiss Football Association, most Swiss fans applauded, believing that such a bad foul on the pitch should be punished severely.

Zambrela is guilty of public anger this time, Gossau is now the only team that Switzerland can compete for honor in the European arena, just when he was about to meet the strong rival Manchester United in the quarterfinals, he alone injured two generals, and now facing the embarrassment of the midfield, of course, the Swiss fans do not want to see him, Zambrela has become a sinner for a while.

Under great pressure, FC Basel's president Hussler had to come out in person to apologize to the club, the injured players and fans of the Gosau team, and then Basel's head coach Jaquinn and Zambrela also came forward to apologize, Zambrela was even more tearful, assuring the fans that he would change his mind and change his past mistakes in the future.

After Xiao Yang heard that Basel came out to apologize, he snorted disdainfully: "There is a bird for apologizing?" ”

Indeed, the apology did nothing for the injury of the injured player, after the game, the team doctor diagnosed that Ivanovic had a sprained ankle and would have to recuperate for at least a month, while Lima's knee injury was a little more troublesome and would have to be out for at least a month and a half.

As soon as this diagnosis came out, Xiao Yang felt that his head was going to be bigger, which meant that Gosau's midfield suddenly changed from full of talent to understaffed, and he will have to worry about the formation of the midfield in the game against Manchester United.

Xiao Yang cursed hatefully, how could there be such a large-scale injury at this critical moment? Ribeiro's injuries have not healed yet, and now there are two more wounded, which are all serious injuries that will be suspended for more than a month, and some minor injuries and illnesses in the usual training have not been counted.

On 29 March, Gossau continued to host the Zurich Grasshoppers in their final league game before the first leg against Manchester United, with Shaw Young fielding most of his rotation and a combination of Cabanas and Hoddle in the middle of midfield.

It's a new midfield combination, with Cabanas starting very little this season due to his age, and Hoddle barely starting in the league.

But it is this combination of old and young that keeps Gosau's midfield in good order, especially Cabanas, although the veteran has fewer and fewer opportunities to play, but he is very experienced, and his form has been relatively good, facing his old club, he defended fiercely in midfield, and his organizational skills were also very good, he gave an assist in this game, and instigated a goal.

In the end, with one goal in each half of the second half by Esposito, the Gosho team beat the Grasshoppers 2:0 and won all three points. After this game, Gossau also topped the table with 69 points from 21 wins, 6 draws and 27 games, 25 points ahead of second-placed Zurich, which is a huge lead with only 9 rounds left in the league.

If Gossau can beat Arau in their next game, they will win the Swiss Super League eight games ahead of schedule.

Of course, before that game, Gossau will have a game that is no less important than the league title game, which is the match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 2 April.

On 31 March, Xiao Yang led the Gosho team to Manchester to prepare for the match against Manchester United in two days' time.

This is Xiao Yang's second visit to Manchester, the last time he was in the group stage away to Manchester City, in which Gosho lost to Manchester City, although this defeat did not affect Gosau to win the group, but the city still brought a not very pleasant memory for Gosau after all.

Coming to Manchester this time, the whole Gossau squad wanted to erase the unpleasant memory.

After coming to Manchester, the reporter also interviewed Xiao Yang: "Mr. Xiao Yang, the Gosho team you led can be said to be the most popular team in Europe in recent seasons. However, Manchester United are also in very good form, and the Premier League title is almost certain this season, are you confident of beating Manchester United? ”

Xiao Yang thought for a moment and replied: "Manchester United is indeed a strong opponent, and their squad is very complete. But Gosau had three key players out injured and I had to do my best to deal with them. ”

The reporter asked: "So you are not confident in this game?" ”

Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't say the same, I am confident that I can defeat any opponent, but that is on the premise that my players are healthy." ”

In the newspaper the next day, Xiao Yang's hesitation was interpreted by reporters as his lack of confidence in the victory over Manchester United. However, after this report was seen by Ferguson, the old knight laughed: "Will he be less confident? It's the funniest joke I've seen this year! This little fox! ”

Ferguson does know Xiao Yang very well, in Xiao Yang's coaching career, he has never lost confidence in himself, even if it is the first time for the Gosho team to participate in the Europa League, they are still very weak, when they are not known, Xiao Yang is also full of confidence in his team, it is he who infects his players with super confidence, so that they have staged the myth of defeating the strong with the weak again and again.

And when the Gosho team is full-fledged, Xiao Yang is even less likely to be lacking in confidence, even if the Gosau team now has three important players injured and suspended, Ferguson will not believe that Xiao Yang will not have confidence in his team, in his opinion, this is mostly Xiao Yang's tricks, deliberately showing weakness, so that Manchester United team underestimates the enemy.

Xiao Yang does have such an idea, even if this trick can't fool the scheming Ferguson, and can make Manchester United's players feel a little light, he can be regarded as achieving his goal.

At 7:45 p.m. on April 2, the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Gosho's away game against Manchester United began as scheduled at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium.

Ferguson sent the starting line-up of goalkeeper David De Gea, left-back Patrice Evra, right-back Rafael, central defender is a combination of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, midfielder Carrick, left winger Nani, right winger Cleverley, forward Shinji Kagawa, and the two forwards are a combination of Wayne Rooney and Van Persie.

Manchester United's squad is arguably their strongest squad, and they can be called world-class stars in every position on the pitch, which shows Ferguson's determination to beat Gosau at home.

The starting lineup of the Gosau team is, goalkeeper Cekcareli, left back Avanzini, right back Gugelman, central defender is a combination of Salihovic and Cevali, left winger Tobinski, right winger Horensten, the most interesting midfield combination is Antunovic and Sampedro, the two of them form a double midfield, and the forward partner is still the familiar Egerman and Kautinho.

Sampedro made only his second Champions League start for Gosau and, coincidentally, his first start was also in Manchester, the last time he played away at Manchester City in the group stage.

Of course, the significance of these two starts is completely different, that time the Gosho team has already confirmed the qualification for the first place in the group, so basically all of them sent rotation players to start; And this time because two big players in the middle of the midfield were injured and could not play, Sampedro was called in danger and took on the role of midfield in an important game. So the mentality of the two games is completely different.

Sampedro was very excited to take on such a big game for the first time, and the consequence of being too excited was that his technical movements were a little distorted. Just five minutes into the game, Sampedro was easily shaken by Van Persie with a feint when defending Van Persie, seeing that Van Persie was no longer defended, the startled Sampedro slammed down Van Persie from behind, and the referee on duty Italian Rocchi did not hesitate to show Sampedro a yellow card.

United were awarded a free-kick from the edge of the box, about 25 metres from goal, and Van Persie took it himself, and he took it from a tricky angle, straight into the top left corner, but the ball was a little lacking, and Cecarelli soared into the air and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

The then Manchester United corner was headed out of danger by Salihovic.

Although the Gosho team did not concede the goal this time, but Sampedro received a yellow card so early that Xiao Yang frowned, Sampedro was too excited today, this is not a good phenomenon, the position he played in the back is easy to eat cards, if he eats another yellow card, it will be troublesome.

Xiao Yang's worries were justified, and Manchester United's subsequent attack focused on Sampedro to play, hoping to create another yellow card for Sampedro and send him off with two yellows and one red, so that Manchester United could gain a numerical advantage in the early stages of the game.

Manchester United's focus on Sampedro made Sampedro a little scrambling, but Antunovic took the initiative to help Sampedro on several occasions to relieve him of the pressure. After the excitement of the early stage of the game, Sampedro slowly became more and more composed, and several defenses were very in place, the card position was accurate, and the tackles were also clean, and he did not let Manchester United's attacking players take any advantage of him.

Seeing that Sampedro is getting better and better, Antunovic no longer needs to help him defend, and the midfield defense of the Gosho team is becoming more and more solid, and Xiao Yang is also relieved.

Manchester United's attacking players have been deflated in front of Sampedro several times, and the Japanese player Shinji Kagawa, who has recently been popular in the Premier League, was once cut off by Sampedro in the midfield, and Sampedroma made a long pass to Horensten on the right, and then Horensten suddenly stopped and smashed the ball in the high-speed dribble, shook off his Manchester United left-back Evra and crossed, Kautinho's header was high above the crossbar, making Manchester United break out in a cold sweat.

Sampedro's composure led United to abandon their efforts to make a breakthrough directly from him and instead play a normal attacking and defensive battle.

Xiao Yang glanced at Ferguson on the sidelines, and saw the red-faced old man chewing gum and sitting firmly in the coach's seat. As if sensing that Xiao Yang was looking at him, Ferguson turned his gaze to Xiao Yang's side, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and Xiao Yang could feel sparks flying.

Xiao Yang smiled at the old man, and then moved his gaze to the court, this old man is really strong.

In the 18th minute of the game, Manchester United's left winger Nani dribbled the ball on the left flank, and after making a connection with Rooney in the middle, Nani cut inside with the ball and shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball went high under the interference of Antunovic.

Then Gosau kicked off the goal, Checarelli kicked the ball into the front, Egerman headed it down, Tobinski grabbed the second spot, and the ball was also a direct long-range shot back to the color, but he didn't hit the ball in the right place, the ball deflected off the left post.

As the game progressed, Ferguson gradually couldn't sit still, almost half of the first half, Manchester United's possession rate was higher than that of Gosau, but basically did not create any very good shooting opportunities, Gosau players from the front of the field actively pressed, effectively slowing down Manchester United's attacking speed, and their midfielder two midfielders also played very well today, especially Sampedro, although he is not the main force of Gosau's team, but in this game seems to be in very good shape, Manchester United's attacks have repeatedly failed with him.

The old man stood up from the coach's box, he walked to the sidelines, and yelled at the players, he asked his players to play the ball faster, not to get too entangled with the defenders of the Gosho team, and to use large changes and transfers to open up the offensive space.

Manchester United's players faithfully executed Ferguson's tactical plan, with more flexibility on the pitch and more movement of the ball. Carrick, in particular, was a great player in midfield, and several long passes were accurate enough to get the ball into the gaps in Gosau's defence, posing a big threat to Gosau, but thanks to the excellent performance of several defenders and goalkeeper Cekcareli, it didn't allow United to score.

Xiao Yang also stood up from the coach's box, and he called Tobinski and asked him to follow Carrick in the front court to prevent Carrick from passing the ball easily. In addition, he asked the defenders at the back of the Gossau team to stand in their defensive positions, so as not to be disrupted by Manchester United's frequent changes of position, so that Manchester United could take advantage of it.

Xiao Yang's adjustment quickly paid off, although Tobinski's defensive ability was average, but his speed was fast, allowing him to tightly entangle Carrick, who was not fast in speed and action, and interfere with the latter's ball, which he was still able to complete well.

After watching Carrick, Manchester United's exit point, Manchester United's transfer ball suddenly became sluggish, coupled with the fact that Gosau's defenders were always able to stand in their defensive positions and keep the defensive line intact, Manchester United's offensive organization was in trouble for a while.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines and frowned, his tactical changes were cracked by Xiao Yang, in the current situation, it is not so easy to break the balance on the field, which requires more troops to be invested in the attack, or the players at a certain point need to suddenly explode.

But if you invest more troops in the attack, Ferguson is very afraid of the defensive counterattack of the Gosho team, and now the Gosau team is pressing fiercely from the midfield, in case they are cut off by the midfield, it will be very dangerous, if the Manchester United team's backline is pressed too high, with the Gosau team's counterattack ability, it will basically be broken once the ball will lose a point.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ferguson decided not to make any tactical adjustments at least until the end of the first half, and now this game is not very unfavorable for Manchester United, although Carrick is entangled, but Gosau has also lost a very important counter-attacker, which can be regarded as a counter-attack, and this style of play will be more physically exhausting for Tobinski and other Gossau players who began to press in the front court, and this seemingly insignificant advantage may be decisive in the end in such a close game.

The game was at a stalemate, with United having to rely on the individual qualities of a few attackers up front to get the occasional shot on goal, but none of those chances were good enough to be easily saved by Gosau's defenders.
