Chapter 44: Confrontation

Zacanaro stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Yang and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will never disgrace you!" ”

Zancanaro's sale also caused a commotion among Gossau fans, led by Paul, who repeated the scene of the Grasshoppers fans besieging the club's gate, holding various slogans and banners to protest the team's move to sell Zazannaro, Xiao Yang had to personally intervene to defuse the fans' excesses, and promised that the team would not sell another person this season, and the team's results would never be lower than last season, and the fans dispersed.

But the impact of Zacanaro's departure will not dissipate so quickly, Xiao Yang first faced that Zacanaro was no longer in the team's backline staffing, and now there are only Salihovic, Pire and Chevali in the authentic central defenders, Pire's current ability can't play the main force, Chevali is too young and inexperienced, and he can't find a suitable replacement if he wants to buy someone now, no way, Xiao Yang had to let Antunovic retreat to play central defender, and then he was glad that he bought Cabanas and Meyer this season, They can all play in the midfield position.

In the last few warm-up games before the season, Antunovic played as a central defender, fortunately he played in the back position last season, and the cooperation with Salihovic is also quite tacit, he quickly adapted to his new position, Cabanas and Meyer took turns as defensive midfielders, and performed very well, Kufre can play the left, center and right three positions on the back line, and he is comfortable in any position, plus Ribeiro in the left-back position, so that Xiao Yang has confidence in the depth of the bench on the back line, And Esposito's ability to serve as the starting striker in the Swiss Premier League is more than enough, it is of course no problem to be a substitute for Eggman and Kautinho, and there is Christen, a Liechtenstein international, who is willing to be a substitute in the winger position, if there is a shortage of people, Ribeiro and Kufre can also top a while, and Ivanovic, who was promoted by the youth team, can be qualified as a substitute for the back and front midfield, through Wen Zhijun's special care for him in the youth team, his current defensive ability has made great progress, and his passing, The offensive ability has not fallen, and it has begun to show the style of a super back.

Zancanaro's departure also affected the players' minds, and Zancanaro's high salary made some players have ideas, but Xiao Yang issued a timely statement saying that Gosau's transfer this season was over, and promised the players in the dressing room that as long as the results of this season were greatly improved, the club would greatly increase their salaries next season, and the players stopped.

After all the pre-season warm-up matches were over, Xiao Yang found that his live gold coins had increased to 350, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, no way, now he needs live gold coins too much, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Now he's looking forward to the 2011-2012 Swiss Super League season to kick off soon, so he can earn live gold.

Attached is the first team squad of the 2011-2012 season of Gosau:

Christianleite, Brazil, 23; Giuseppececcarelli, Italy, 16 years old. Centre-back: Jean-Pierretcheutchoua, Cameroon, 30; Adnansalihovic, Switzerland, 19; Zlatkoantunovic, Croatia, 17; Brunochevallier, Switzerland, 17 years old. Full-backs: Leandrocufre, Argentina, 33; Yvessanchez, Switzerland, 22; Sandrogugelmann, Switzerland, 21; Hugoribeiro, Portugal, 17 years old.

Forward: Lima (Delima), Brazil, 22; Ninadivanovic, Serbia, 17 years old. Forward: Silvaneggmann, Switzerland, 20; Coutinho, Portugal, 21; Andrea Esposito, Italy, 19 years old.

On July 10, the first round of the 2011-2012 season of the Swiss Super League started as scheduled, and the Gossau team sat at home to face the last season's league champion Zurich team.

Xiao Yang lined up the 4132 formation he was used to last season, goalkeeper Reiter, left-back Kufrey, two central defenders are the duo of Salihovic and Antunovic, right-back Gugelman and Cabanas are defensive midfielders, two wingers are Avandzini and Horensten, Lima in the front, and the forward combination is still Eggman and Kautinho.

At the beginning of the game, Gosau launched a fierce attack on Zurich, without the slightest cowardice in the face of the defending champion, and Zurich, as the defending champion, of course, was not to be outdone, and the two teams played a wonderful offensive battle, which also made Ralph on the scene very busy: "Gosau's new Argentine international Kufre stepped forward with the ball this season, and made a cross with Avencini, Egerman's header, but unfortunately it was a little off; Zurich kicked off the goal, the ball was picked up by midfielder Gadzic, Gadzic distributed the ball to the left wing-back Vasquis, Vasquez suddenly cut inside and fired a long-range shot, the ball went high; Gossau immediately launched a counter-attack, and after a series of links in the middle, Lima suddenly returned a long-range shot from 35 meters from goal, the ball hit the outside of the left post and bounced off the bottom line, scaring the goalkeeper of the Zurich team, Leoni, into a cold sweat......"

After more than 20 minutes of attacking between the two sides, the Zurich team was gradually pressed back to their own half, because Zurich's attack mainly relied on Lewandowski on the forward line and assists on the two wings, Lewandowski is a Polish international and has strong ability, but Antunovic who was born in the back, has strong marking ability and strong running ability, and has a tough style of Cabanas from time to time, he was quickly drowned in the crowd; And Zurich's two full-backs met Kufrey and Gugelmann, two full-backs with strong defensive ability, especially Kufre, extremely strong, fierce style of play, intimidating, after touching a few nails, their two full-backs also began to shrink back, especially after Gosau's two arguably the best Swiss wingers Avandzini and Horensten began to become more and more active, they had to often retreat to help their fullbacks defend, so that Kufrey and Gugelmann, who had lost their ties, also began to assist more forwards, causing Zurich to become more and more passive on the field.

Gossau began to have a clear advantage on the field, but due to luck and Zurich's goalkeeper Leoni also played well, he never scored, and the two teams went into the break with a score of 0:0, and Ralph breathed a sigh of relief: "The referee blew the whistle at halftime, and in the first half both teams failed to score, the score was 0:0, but the game was still very exciting. The two teams switched at a fast pace, especially Gosau, who maintained the all-attacking style of last season, playing a number of combinations in the first half, but were unlucky to fail to score. Let's take a 15-minute break and then watch the second half and hopefully the second half will be even more exciting. ”
