After playing the match against Basel, Xiao Yang led the team back to Gossau the next day. After finishing www.biquge.info day's work, Xiao Yang dragged his tired body back home. As soon as he returned home, he smelled a pungent fragrance, and when he went to the dining room, he saw that the table was already full of dishes, and Wen Wan was still carrying a bowl of soup from the kitchen.

Xiao Yang hurriedly took the big bowl of soup from Wen Wan's hand, carefully placed it on the table, and then asked, "Xiaoice, how did you cook so many dishes today?" It doesn't seem like a special day today, does it? Have guests at home? ”

Wen Wan said: "No, my mother said that you are too tired during this time, so she made a lot of dishes you like to eat, and I will make up for you." ”

Xiao Yang's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, how long has it been since no one cared about him so much? It's really nice to be cared for.

Zhang Shuping and Chen Zhong came out of the kitchen, and when they saw Xiao Yang, they said, "Xiaolin is back?" It's time to eat. Xiaoice, go and call your grandfather and grandma out for dinner. ”

Wen Wan called her grandfather and grandmother out and helped them to the table and sat down. Chen Zhong opened a bottle of Erguotou and beckoned Xiao Yang to sit down: "Xiaolin, sit down, let's have a few drinks today." ”

Xiao Yang hurriedly set up two glasses, then took the wine in Chen Zhong's hand, filled it for him, and then poured another glass of wine for himself.

Chen Zhong picked up the small wine glass, tilted his neck, and put a glass of wine down with a "zi" sound, Xiao Yang saw this and quickly dried his own glass of wine, and then filled it for Chen Zhong and himself.

Zhang Shuping said angrily: "Old Chen, can't you drink slowly?" He said to Xiao Yang again: "Xiaolin, drink slowly, don't be like your father." ”

Xiao Yang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Shuping said: "I don't know football either, I don't know what your football coach does." But you can't get home all day long, running around, it's really tired, look at you are thin now. In the past, you couldn't do it alone, but now that your parents are here, you have to take care of your body. ”

Xiao Yang was embarrassed, since the start of this season, due to the tight schedule, there are indeed few days when he goes home, he experienced the strong concern in Zhang Shuping's words, and couldn't help but have hot eyes, he quickly lowered his head and said: "Mom, I know, thank you!" ”

Zhang Shuping glared at Wen Wan, who was snickering next to her, and said, "Xiaoice, now that Xiaolin is your husband, you should care about him, take care of him, and fulfill the responsibility of a wife." ”

Wen Wan shouted and hit the sky: "Mom, I told Feng Lei to let him pay attention to his body, but he is really too busy, what can I do?" Besides, I'm quite busy with my own work, why don't you care about me? ”

Xiao Yang hurriedly said to Zhang Shuping: "Mom, don't blame Xiaoice, she did tell me to pay attention to my body." I'm young, I'm in good health, it's okay, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhang Shuping said a little sadly: "Xiaolin, you have no other relatives now, we are your only relatives, we don't care about you, who cares about you?" Don't rely on your youth and good health to ignore it, otherwise you will suffer when you are older. ”

Xiao Yang's heart was moved, he hurriedly promised that he would definitely pay attention to his body, and Zhang Shuping stopped nagging.

Chen Zhong drank another glass of wine and said, "Xiaolin, although your mother is a little nagging, it is still good for you, you have to listen to her." ”

Zhang Shuping glared at Chen Zhong and said, "You tell me clearly, why am I nagging?" ”

Chen Zhong looked at his wife's majestic appearance of a female tiger, shivered, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I lost my words, you don't nag at all." ”

Chen's silent appearance made Wen Wan and Xiao Yang both laugh secretly.

After the family finished the meal happily, Xiao Yang suddenly felt that he was full of strength and fighting spirit, and sure enough, a warm family atmosphere is the best energy agent.

Manchester City arrived in Gossau two days early on 30 September under the leadership of manager Roberto Mancini, and since both teams won the first round of matches, whoever wins this game will win the initiative to qualify.

As soon as Mancini arrived in Gosau, he was surrounded by a group of journalists, whom he gave an interview. A reporter asked: "Mr. Mancini, your team was in a good position to beat Paris Saint-Germain in a strong conversation in the last game, so what are your thoughts on this match against Gosau?" If you win again against Gosho in this game, you will play CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria in the next two rounds, and you will likely win two in a row, and your team will qualify with four wins in a row. ”

Of course, Mancini is very clear about this situation, and it should be said that Manchester City is now in a more favorable situation. Roberto Mancini replied: "Of course, I hope Manchester City can win all the way to the final and lift the trophy directly. ”

All the reporters on the scene laughed, and of course they knew that it was Mancini joking.

"It's a good wish, but we all know that Gosau are the defending champions of the Champions League, they are not below us, and this is their home stadium, so they won't let us do it easily. I'll be satisfied with a point in this game. ”

In fact, this is indeed Mancini's real thoughts, if this game can be a draw with the Gosau team, they can take all six points in the next two consecutive games against Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia, so they can accumulate 10 points in four games, and Gossau will have to fight Paris Saint-Germain two games in a row, maybe both defeats, then Manchester City may be able to qualify early with 10 points.

The reporter asked: "Do you mean that Manchester City will be mainly defensive tactics in this game?" ”

Mancini said: "We can't reveal our tactics in advance, but what I can tell you is that I will still choose more aggressive tactics. ”

After answering the question, Mancini rejected other questions from reporters and returned to the hotel, citing the need for rest. In the team training that followed, Manchester City also adopted a closed training practice, which proved that they took this game seriously.

On 1 October, Gosau's home game against Manchester City went ahead as scheduled, and CTV also broadcast the game live. Since this game is a key battle in Group H, and the day of the game coincides with the National Day holiday in China, the ratings of this game are unprecedentedly high, setting a record for the ratings of the Champions League group stage in China.

Before the start of the game, CTV also broadcast the holiday wishes sent by all members of the Gosho team to the Chinese fans recorded in advance by their front film crew, and each of them said to the camera lens: "I wish the Chinese fans a happy National Day!" ”

Watching those foreigners with black or white complexions saying words of blessing in a serious manner in broken Chinese dialect, the Chinese fans in front of the TV were laughing from ear to ear. But when the last shot was broadcast, the fans couldn't laugh anymore, and their expressions became very solemn.

The last shot is Xiao Yang leading all the Chinese people of the Ge Shao Club to the camera and saying: "Happy birthday to the motherland!" I wish the people of the motherland happiness and good health! The expressions of these people when they said these two sentences were particularly solemn and solemn, which made the fans who saw this scene can't help but be solemn.

Now there are really a lot of Chinese people in the Gosho club, and there are several coaches such as Xiao Yang, Wen Zhijun, Chen Lei, etc., as well as two young players such as Fu Zilong and Zhou Guodong, plus a group of Chinese female students led by Wen Wan in the News and Public Relations Department, there are already more than a dozen Chinese people. They work in Gosho all the year round and cannot return to their motherland, but their feelings for the motherland are as deep as those of the Chinese people in China, and even deeper than those in China.

After their holiday greetings were broadcast, Duan Xuan appeared on the TV screen, and he began to introduce the game to everyone: "All the viewers in front of the TV, first of all, I wish you a happy holiday. Today's live match is a long-awaited match in Group H of the Champions League group stage, with defending champions Gossau hosting Manchester City in the Premier League. ”

"Group H of these two teams is the 'Super Group of Death' in this season's Champions League, and in addition to these two teams, European upstarts Paris Saint-Germain have also been placed in this group. The presence of these three teams has also made the battle for the right to qualify for this group confusing. In the first round of matches, Gossau and Manchester City both won, so whoever wins this game will take the initiative in the battle for the right to qualify. ”

'Both teams are quite strong and their recent form has been no problem. Both teams are unbeaten in their respective leagues so far, winning both of them in the first round of the group stage, so it's hard to predict who will win this game. However, there is one thing that is more beneficial to the Gosau team, and that is that the Gosau team is playing this game at home, and the Gosau team rarely lose in their home games. ”

"Well, now that the screen has cut to the scene, we can see that the 3,000-man home stadium of the Gosho team is already full, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic. Of course, now it seems that the home stadium of the Gosau team is too small to accommodate the European champion team of the Gosau team. This makes us even more excited about the new stadium that will be completed and put into use by the end of this year, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people. ”

"The players from both sides entered the pitch and the game was about to start. Let's use this time to introduce the audience to the line-ups of both sides. The home team Gosau has a line-up of goalkeeper Cecarelli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Gugelman, two central defenders Salihovic and Chivali, midfielder Antunovic, left winger Avanzini, right winger Horensten, forward Branislavic Ivanovic, and two forwards are a combination of Kautinho and Egerman. Except for Lima, who was unable to play due to injury, Coach Xiao Yang sent all his main players. ”

"The line-up for the away Manchester City team is, goalkeeper Joe. Hart, left-back Barnes, right-back McConn, two centre-backs are a combination of Danish Kyle and Brazilian centre-back Jeromel, and the two midfielders are Leo. Koke and Frenkie de Jong, left winger Guardado, right winger Gourcuff, forward Diego, single forward is Sergio Aguero. This lineup is a more defensive 451 formation, and Coach Mancini uses defensive midfielder Leo. Koke replaced Carlos Tevez and it seems that Coach Mancini has been more conservative in his tactics for this game. Of course, at the home of the defending champions, I think any coach would make such a conservative and safe choice. ”

"With the whistle of the referee on duty, Sakarni, the game began, and the home team Gosau kicked off first, and they attacked from left to right in the first half."

After the start of the game, the two sides did not immediately start attacking in a big way, but made some tentative efforts, after all, this game was the first meeting between the two sides, and it could be regarded as an encounter. Of course, with Gosau's seniority in European competitions, most of the opponents they have faced have been encounters.

Judging from the line-up of Manchester City, they are indeed more defensive, and they have not only added a defender with excellent defensive ability to the midfield. Koke, and also didn't field their more starter Ashley in the left winger position. Instead, Yang sent in the more defensively capable Mexico international Guardado to try to contain Gosau's attacking wings.

Despite Manchester City's defensive posture, Xiao Yang did not let Gosau attack rashly, he made it easy for the two full-backs not to step forward to assist, and the task for Antunovic was to just let him stare at Diego without him inserting an assist. This is because Diego is an extremely good midfield commander, and if he is not stared at him, he has the ability to decide a game by himself; Aguero is also a fast, explosive and technically good striker, and if Gosau's formation is too high, his power on the counter-attack is no laughing matter.

With neither side investing a lot of troops in the attack, the game entered a stalemate, and the tactical organization of both sides was not very smooth, and they could only rely on the individual ability of the attacking players to get opportunities.

In the 5th minute, Gossau's right-back Gugelman made a long pass in the backfield, and Caudijö grabbed the first nod and ferried it to Egerman, Egerman took advantage of his physical advantage, dribbled the ball and forced away the defense of the two Brazilians, Jeromel and McConn, burst into the penalty area, and faced Hart, Egerman fired a low shot, which evaded Hart's save, but hit the post, bounced back to the middle of the penalty area, and was kicked out of the sideline by Kyle's big foot on the back defense.

Egerman's shot shocked Mancini in a cold sweat, if he allowed Gosau to score so early, then his tactics would have to be completely reversed, which would be very bad for Manchester City.

In the 8th minute, Manchester City's defender De Jong sent a straight plug in the midfield, Diego took the ball with his back in the front, he used his skillful skills to get rid of Antunovic's defense and broke through to the 30-meter area of the Gosho team, although Antunovic still followed Diego closely, but he didn't dare to foul casually in this place, because there are many free kick players in the Manchester City team, Diego himself is very good at free kicks, and Xiao Yang also explained not to easily foul at the front of the penalty area.

Just when Antunovic hesitated slightly, Diego faced Antunovic and knocked the ball to his left with his right heel, he shook off the angle of his kick and immediately shot with his left foot, the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball, although Checarelli made a save reaction, but the shot was too fast and he didn't touch the ball at all. However, heaven seemed to compensate for Gosau's hit to the post, and Diego's brilliant long-range shot also hit the post and bounced off the line.

Diego hugged his head, looking very annoyed, under Antunovic's tight defense, even he doesn't often get such a good shot opportunity, missing this goal, Antunovic's defense against him is bound to be tighter, and it will be more difficult for him to score again.

The Gosau fans in the stadium let out a gasp in a neat manner, and Xiao Yang also gasped in his heart, and then he immediately walked to the sidelines and yelled at Antunovic: "Zlatke, don't let him shoot so easily." ”

Antunovich nodded to him and said, "Boss, I see." Then he tightened his grip on Diego.

Both managers were cautious when they hit the post once in the space of three minutes, and both sides played cautiously in the ensuing game.

Now Xiao Yang finally realized the meaning of the phrase "the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is", it turns out that when the Ge Shao team first entered the Swiss Super League, he dared to attack the opponent no matter what kind of opponent he faced, and it didn't matter how many goals the opponent scored, as long as he scored one more goal than the opponent; And now the Gosau team is getting stronger and stronger, but their tactics are becoming more and more conservative, and now playing against strong teams, thinking about how to score one more goal, but how to concede one less goal.

Of course, this is also due to the situation, it turns out that when the Gosho team has no strength, it can only rely on beautiful playing style to attract fans, so it is necessary to play offensive tactics; And now, there are more fans, if you want to keep the fans, you must rely on results, and at this time, you are still blindly attacking against strong enemies, which can only be looking for death. Now the teams with good results in European football are basically balanced in attack and defense, and the teams that play well in attack but have no defense all die miserably, and even Barcelona doesn't have a world-class central defender like Pique?

After a dull half-hour of play, Gossau finally scored first. In the 40th minute, Gosau took a corner kick, Manchester City's central defender Kyle pushed the ball out of the penalty area, Horensten on the side received the ball and immediately crossed to Ivanovic in the middle, Ivanovic got rid of a defender on the spot, and then stuffed the ball straight to the unguarded Kautinho who retreated to the front of the penalty area. Hart made the save as fast as he could, but was still one step too slow.

Duan Xuan's roar rang out: "Kautinghuo, Kautinho shoots, the ball goes in!!!!!!! Now Gosau leads Manchester City 1-0. It was a wonderful kick in the world wave of Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe. Hart couldn't do anything about the shot. The situation on the pitch is very bad for Manchester City now, they have to press out and attack. ”

The Gossau fans roared with joy as they chanted Cowdingho's name.

Mancini sat in the dugout and didn't stand up, but his face was not good-looking, which still revealed that his heart was not at peace.

Because Gosau's leading scorer Eggman has scored goals and is in good form in the past two seasons, the defensive focus of the Manchester City team has been on him, and Egerman looked in good form today, hitting the post once in the opening five minutes, so Mancini asked his defenders to target Eggman to death at all costs. Unexpectedly, in the subsequent game, although Egerman was stared to death, but due to the relaxation of the defense of others, another Kautingho goal came out, which was really a gourd and floated up.

But now Mancini doesn't have time to regret it, if he hadn't stared Egerman to death, maybe he would have scored the goal now? Mancini is now thinking about how to get back into the score.

When Manchester City's defender Frenkie de Jong looked at Mancini, Mancini gestured to him to continue to defend well, and De Jong nodded. With only five minutes to go until the end of the first half, Mancini would not have made a mistake if he had turned to attack and could have thrown himself into disarray, giving Gossau a chance to extend their scores.

Similarly, Xiao Yang did not let the players take advantage of the momentum after the goal to attack aggressively and try to expand the score. The two teams played well for the remaining minutes before going into half-time.

During the break, Xiao Yang told everyone about the tactics of the second half in the locker room: "In the second half, the Manchester City team will definitely change its tactics and strengthen the attack, so Ninad (Ivanovic) returned to the position of the back in the second half to strengthen the defense in the middle, and in addition, other players have to pass to Ninad after winning the ball in the backfield, so that he is responsible for distributing the ball." When you have that chance, Mitchell [Avandzini] and Claudio [Holensten] have to go full speed and don't waste your energy on a wasted run, we have enough substitutions and a successful counter-attack could lead to a goal. Do you all understand? ”

The players all nodded, Xiao Yang's tactic is to shape Ivanovic into a midfield metronome like Pirlo, using his long passing ability to organize Gosau's attack, and if successful, Ivanovic will be a more defensive and running midfield metronome than Pirlo, then his contribution to the team will be greater than Pirlo's.

At the start of the second half, Roberto Mancini brought on Carlos Tevez for Leao. Koke played an attacking tactic in the 442 diamond midfield, and Manchester City's two wingers and two full-backs also provided more assists.

In the 47th minute, Manchester City's right-back McCone assisted with the ball to the front, after making a one-two with Gourcuff, he took the ball down and crossed, Gossau central defender Chevali grabbed a head in front of Tevez and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, Manchester City's defender De Jong grabbed the second landing point, and the ball outside the box did not stop and came directly with a volley, slightly above the crossbar.

McCone made a comeback in the 51st minute, this time with a cross that allowed Tevez to steal the first spot, but Tevez's header went wide of the left-hand post after Chivali's interference.

In the 54th minute, it was McCone again, this time he cut inside after shaking off Ribeiro, and suddenly shot from a long distance in the corner of the penalty area, which was very threatening, but fortunately Cicarelli was attentive and saved this shot from the bottom line.

McConn's successive breakthroughs also made the commentators of various countries on the scene exclaim again and again, and the world's No. 1 right-back is back.

McCone also felt very happy, in the first half due to Mancini's strict orders, he rarely stepped forward to assist, and in the second half, he could finally have a good offensive addiction, it should be said that the Brazilian players have offensive blood in their bones.

In the 60th minute, McCone stepped in another assist, and after a one-two with Frenkie de Jong, he broke through Avazini's defence and Ribeiro pressed on him. In McConn's opinion, Ribeiro's assist ability is not bad, but the defensive ability is very average, so McCone can't help but have some contempt for him, he made a bicycle action, ready to shake Ribeiro, suddenly, he felt a wind behind his side rushing towards him, he hurriedly pulled the ball to his right side, ready to dodge the steal behind himself, he turned his head to look, it turned out to be Gosau's defender Antunovic came forward to help defend himself, McCone calculated, since Antunovic came to help defend himself, Then Gosau should be the only one in the middle of the team, Ivanovic, now he should be a good opportunity to pass the ball to the middle, but just when he was wishful thinking, he felt his feet light, and when he looked back, he found that it was Ribeiro, whom he looked down on, took advantage of his distraction to decisively kick down and cut off his ball.

McCone turned to try to get hold of Ribeiro, but Ribeiro had already passed the ball to Ivanovic in the middle, and Ivanovic didn't even look up and picked up his right foot to pass the ball to the left front, where Avanzini was already sprinting at full speed. McCone screamed badly, and chased back desperately.

At the moment of Ivanovic's pass, Manchester City's defender De Jong began to chase Avannzini, he fought hard to catch up with Avannzini when he was about to reach the bottom line, and blocked the line of his cross, Avantzini made a sharp stop in the high-speed run, dunked the ball back with his left foot, and then went sideways, the inside cut was successful, De Jong tried to change the center of gravity back, but he was not prepared in the high-speed run, it was not easy to make such a move, he fell heavily to the ground.
