Chapter 143: Envy
In the past two days, Xiao Yang had a good rest for two days, accompanying Chen Zhong to fish in Geshao Lake during the day, and watching the stars on the roof platform with Wen Wan at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In his words, in the past two days he has lived two days that are the envy of the gods. Of course, in the past two days, the whole family has also drunk a lot of fish soup, which was caught by Chen Zhong and Xiao Yang in Geshao Lake, not to mention, the water quality of Geshao Lake is very good, and the fish caught from it are delicate in meat and taste very good.
The two-day break made Xiao Yang refreshed and re-energized to devote himself to the work of the club.
In these two rounds, the Swiss team lost 1-2 to Italy and drew 2-2 with Norway, and Egerman scored one goal in each of these two games. Although the Swiss team did not taste victory in these two games, they still ranked first in the group with 8 games, 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 19 points, and advanced to the 2014 World Cup finals; The traditional powerhouse Italian team is only second in this group and has no choice but to participate in the play-offs.
Xiao Yang is not very concerned about the results of the Swiss team, and he is now suffering from the sequelae of the FIFA virus. Thankfully, the first match after that was the second round of the Swiss Cup, and Gossau were away to an amateur team, Concordiabs, on 19 October, and against a weak opponent, Xiao Yang sent all the substitutes, and even the bench was full of youth players.
As a result, Gosau defeated their opponents 3-0 with three goals from Esposito, Zhou Guodong and Silva and advanced to the third round of the Swiss Cup. Xiao Yang is really glad to have met an amateur team at this time, which gave Gosho a little respite, because the following October 22 is the third round of this season's Champions League group stage, Gosau hosts Paris Saint-Germain.
On 20 October, Carlo Ancelotti led Paris Saint-Germain to Gossau two days ahead of schedule to prepare for this crucial match. In an interview with reporters, Ancelotti expressed a more cautious attitude towards this game: "Although the Paris Saint-Germain team has invested a lot in the past two seasons and has made great progress in strength, because the main players are all new to the team, there are some deficiencies in the run-in, and there are still some deficiencies in coordination compared with the Gosau team, where the main lineup has been extremely stable in the past five seasons." We are playing away from home, so we are aiming for a draw and then we will look for a win when we get back to our home stadium in the next game. ”
Carlo Ancelotti's words did not make Xiao Yang careless, and it is normal for the manager to put a smokescreen to confuse the opponent before the game. Even if Ancelotti is known for being honest in the circle, Xiao Yang will not relax in the slightest.
On October 22, the match between Gosau and Paris Saint-Germain started as scheduled, Xiao Yang's starting lineup was, goalkeeper Cicarelli, left back Ribeiro, right back Gugelman, central defender is a combination of Salihovic and Chivali, back Antunovic, left winger Avandzini, right winger Horensten, Ivanovic position is very free, Xiao Yang gave him the right to run freely in the midfield, Gosau's two main strikers are still Eggman and Kaudinho.
One of the reasons why Lima didn't start this game was because he had just returned from two games in South America and he had to travel a lot more than any other player on the road; Another reason is the rise of Ivanovic's tactical position in the team. At first, Lima was a little frustrated with the reduction of his playing time, but he was optimistic by nature and immediately adjusted his mentality, after all, although he did not have the talent to master the rhythm of the game, but his technical type is different from Ivanovic, for the sake of tactical enrichment, Xiao Yang will not give him too little playing time in the future.
Carlo Ancelotti also fielded all the main players in this game, and the starting lineup of Paris Saint-Germain can be described as star-studded, but he still has some ups and downs in his heart.
Ancelotti and the coaching staff began to study the tactics of the Gosho team very early, they had already arranged targeted tactics for the Gosho team's tactics, and began to arrange these in training very early, but they did not expect that the Gosho team suddenly changed their tactics in recent games, and this new tactic does not seem to be a temporary game, the Gosho team seems to use it as a regular tactic, which makes Ancelotti scratch his head a little.
In fact, if it is just an ordinary new tactic, Ancelotti doesn't care very much, it's a big deal to fight for strength, the soldiers will block, and the water will be flooded, but the problem is that Ancelotti wanted to implement this tactic in Paris Saint-Germain, but it didn't succeed.
The role of the midfield metronome Ancelotti is no stranger, and it can be said that he was one of the original implementers, when he was at AC Milan, he transformed Pirlo, who originally played in the front midfield, into a midfielder, Pirlo shined in the position of the midfielder, controlling the rhythm of the game of the AC Milan team, and this tactic was also a great success, winning a lot of honors for AC Milan.
At that time, Ancelotti still remembers vividly, originally Pirlo was just an ordinary forward player, due to his average physical fitness, not strong confrontation ability, it is difficult to hold the ball under the high-intensity defense of the forward position, so the performance is average, and it is difficult to play the main team in the giant team in his 20s. However, after Ancelotti transformed him into a midfielder, he was greatly reduced in defensive pressure, which gave full play to his ability to control the pace of the game, accurate long passes, because he always had a running Gattuso next to him to share the burden of defense, his weaknesses were covered up to the maximum, therefore, he reached the pinnacle of his personal career in the midfield position, and also gave elegance to the position of the midfield, which originally symbolized brutality.
Carlo Ancelotti also wanted to repeat the tactics of AC Milan here after coming to Paris Saint-Germain to take charge, but he could not find a replacement for Andrea Pirlo. He bought Pastore to transform him into a midfield metronome, but it soon became clear that while Pastore was also a good playmaker, his talent and ability were far from being able to take on the role.
Since then, Ancelotti has wanted to solve this problem through transfers, but how can a midfield metronome be so easy to find? Pirlo is old; Xavi is the brain of Barcelona and they definitely won't put it; And Alonso and Modric are both in Real Madrid, and it is difficult to dig up their main team. Therefore, this has always been a regret for Ancelotti.
Unexpectedly, there is now a midfield metronome in the Gosho team, and it is so good, it is not inferior to Pirlo in other aspects, and the physicality, confrontation ability, running ability and defense are much better than Pirlo, you can imagine how much of a threat he will have to the opponent when he is in good shape, and according to the last two games of the Gosau team, he is in excellent form, Ancelotti can't help but play twelve points of caution against Ivanovic.
Be careful, it's not easy to keep Branislav Ivanovic at bay, he's a bit of a back, and it's unrealistic to use a defensive midfielder to target him, which will only disrupt his formation in the first place. After thinking about it, he didn't have much to do, so he had to tell his defenders to always stand in their defensive positions and easily not show flaws that could be used by the opponent.
After the start of the game, the PSG players did strictly adhere to Ancelotti's pre-match set-up, playing very cautiously, lest they show a flaw that could be exploited by Gosau.
Paris Saint-Germain fielded a 4231 formation today, with Carlo Ancelotti putting heavily in midfield to try to gain the upper hand in the midfield scramble with Gosau. PSG's two midfielders are Sissoko and Motta, both of whom are strong defensively, but they are both positioned further back, so it is difficult to take care of the defense against Ivanovic, while the three forward midfielders of Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas? Mola, Pastore and Ravic are basically not very defensive, so Ivanovic is at home on the field.
Ivanovic is not restricted by Xiao Yang in his position today, his running position is unusually free, but his running position will never run around like a headless fly, he runs very carefully, basically using his own running and passing to connect all the midfielders of the Gosho team organically, such a player makes the players of the Paris Saint-Germain team very uncomfortable, send a person to stare at him, one is to disrupt his formation, and the other is that it is really difficult for a person to prevent him, Ivanovic's running ability, The ability to control the ball and get rid of it is too strong.
In the 6th minute, Ivanovic received a pass from central defender Chevali and dribbled to the center circle, facing Mota who stepped forward to rush, he gave the ball to Avanzini on the left, and then decisively stepped forward, Avantzini passed the ball to Ivanovic in time, Motta had not returned to his position at this time, and Paris Saint-Germain's other defender Sissoko was staring at Antunovic who was inserted forward in time by Gosau, Ivanovic easily got up without defense and sent a diagonal pass, Horensten, who was inserted at high speed, received the ball behind Paris Saint-Germain's left-back Maxwell, and then directly crossed with his right foot, Kautinho nodded the ball in front of the goal, but fortunately under the interference of central defender Sarko, Kautinho deflected the ball, but this has shocked Ancelotti in a cold sweat.
In the 8th minute, Paris Saint-Germain's lone striker Ibrahimovic used his personal ability to shake off an angle in front of the field and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, which was slightly over the crossbar, and returned the color to Gosau.
In the 11th minute, Antunovic cut off Pastore's pass in the backfield, he immediately passed the ball to Ivanovic next to him, Ivanovic did not look up and directly raised his foot to send a long pass 40 meters away, at this time because Paris Saint-Germain was attacking, their two backs in order to keep the midfield not disjointed, pressed a little up, so their ribs were relatively large, Ivanovic's pass just fell to this area, Horensten plugged in at high speed to receive this pass, Paris Saint-Germain's left-back Maxwell was shocked and hurriedly pounced on Horensten, who sent a through ball before Maxwell pressed, Kautinho burst into the penalty area and received the ball, facing the attacking Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sirigu, he pushed a far corner, but the ball was firmly pressed under a side save by the agile Sirigu, and Kautinjo regretfully hugged his head with both hands.
Xiao Yang also has some regrets, the two chances just now were very good, if one can be scored, then now the Gosau team is much better, but unfortunately the two chances did not score.
Ancelotti's face is very solemn, the current situation on the field of Paris Saint-Germain is not very good, although he has asked the players to pay attention to defense, but no matter how good the defense is, there will always be some flaws, and Ivanovic can always find these flaws, and pass the ball to those places as soon as possible. If it continues like this, sooner or later the Gosau team will score.
Carlo Ancelotti went to the sidelines and asked his players to recycle the formation a little, so that PSG had a tighter formation and had fewer holes for the opposition to exploit. However, in this way, the attacking power of Paris Saint-Germain in the front field has decreased a lot, but now Ancelotti can't care so much, and it is a good result to be able to not concede goals away from home.
As soon as the Paris Saint-Germain formation was recycled, Ivanovic took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game, and often passed back or horizontally, and there were few forward passes, so that Gossau's possession rate reached almost more than 70%, but both sides had few shots on goal.
In this case, the PSG players were really calm and did not press up, trying to compete with Gossau for possession. However, the fans of the Gosau team were not polite to them, and they loudly laughed at PSG's turtle flow tactics of the tiger not going out of the hole.
Ibrahimovic was the first to lose his breath to the laughter of the Gosho fans, and when he received a long ball from the back, he quickly conceded the ball between two Gosau defenders, and he began waving his hands and complaining loudly about his team-mates, saying they didn't give him enough support. Ibrahimovic is a talented player with a very good personality, he has always considered himself the best striker in the world, and of course he can't stand the sight of all his players cowering in the back, and as a result, his chances of performance have been reduced.
Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian striker Lucas. Moura responded, and the 22-year-old Lucas Mura responded with the aim of becoming a 22-year-old man. Moura has been hailed as Kaka's successor in Brazil, and he certainly can't stand such conservative tactics, and after hearing Ibrahimovic's complaints, he began to put his position on the front and took the initiative to ask for the ball.
After Moura moved his position, the two attacking players of Ravic and Pastore couldn't hold it back, and they began to move forward frequently, and after they both pressed forward, Paris Saint-Germain's two midfielders, Motta and Sissoko, had to follow forward in order not to disconnect the midfield.
After Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder pressed forward, they soon had a good chance to shoot. Moura played a one-two with Pastore before delivering a cross down the right, and Ibrahimovic ran a little past him in the build-up, and he made another difficult move with a scorpion tail that slid past the goal. It was a stunning shot.
Ibrahimovic got up from the ground and headed towards Lucas. Mora gave a thumbs up, Lucas. Mora glanced at Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines, meaning that our free play is better than the tactics you arranged.
Ancelotti shouted a few times, but the players on the field turned a deaf ear, and he could only sigh helplessly. Carlo Ancelotti is not a tyrant manager, he has a good temper, a personality that sometimes benefits his relationship with his players, but sometimes leads to a lack of control of the game.
Carlo Ancelotti looked at his players and thought to himself, if they don't like to defend, it's up to them, they're all talented players, maybe it's better for the team to give them free play.
Under the excellent play of several front-court players, the Paris Saint-Germain team gradually took the initiative on the field, and they basically pressed the players of the Gosau team back to their own half, but because they did not have the advantage in the number of front-courters, they have been a little scoreless, in the 33rd minute, the Brazilian right-back of the Paris Saint-Germain team, Ceará, saw that the Gosau team had not launched an attack on the right side of his town today, and he couldn't hold it back, and assisted to the front.
After Ceará assisted to the front court, he immediately had a match with Lucas. Moura made a one-two and then crossed with the ball, but this time Ibrahimovic did not grab the landing, the ball was directly pushed by Salihovic in the air to Antunovic, Antunovic immediately passed the ball to Ivanovic next to him, as soon as the ball reached the feet of Ivanovic, the whole Gosho team suddenly increased the pace of the game, Avanzini and Horensten fired together, high-speed forward forward, and Gugelman and Ribeiro also followed behind them.
Ivanovic sent a long over-the-top pass from 40 meters away without stopping the ball, and passed the ball to Avazini on the left side, Avazini has not had a good performance in the first 30 minutes, looking lazy, making people think that he is not in good shape, but now, he has raised his speed to the highest, galloping on the left side with the ball, where is there a little bit of bad state?
Paris Saint-Germain's right-back Ceará is too late to go back now, their right side is now an open area, and now Paris Saint-Germain's backfield is left with two central defenders, a left-back and a dragged back Sissoko, and Gossau's side In addition to Avanzini, Egerman, Kautinhoe and Horensten have all hit the front, it is already a 4-4 situation, and there are Gugelmann and Ribeiro behind to keep up, and the situation can be said to be precarious for Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder Sissoko ran back while looking at the situation on the field, he could only grit his teeth and run to the most threatening Avanzini, but just when Sissoko was close to Avanzini, Avanzini made a low pass and pushed the ball to the empty space at the front of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area. Silva had no choice but to step forward and block Ivanovic's shot with his body, but Ivanovic's right foot landed with a slight flick of his ankle and sent a brilliant through ball.
Silva twisted around and watched in despair as Egerman, who had been marked by him, burst into the box, easily received a pass from Branislav Ivanovic, and then faced the onrushing Sirigu and fired a low shot into the bottom left corner of the net.
With Egerman's goal, the home stadium of the Gosau team suddenly boiled, and the Gossau fans, who had been a little dull because their team had not dominated the field, let out a huge cheer. Egerman turned around and ran towards Ivanovic after scoring and had a bear hug with him, and the ball Ivanovic passed to him was so comfortable that all he had to do was kick the ball towards the goal as he did in training.
CTV's commentator Duan Xuan also roared: "Eggman shoots, the ball goes in!!!!! Although the goal was scored by Egerman, at least more than 70% of the credit goes to Ivanovic. Let's take a look at the slow motion, the goal was originally attacked by Paris Saint-Germain, they put a lot of troops into the attack, but after Gossau won the ball, they suddenly picked up the tempo of the game and created the goal in less than ten seconds. At this moment, the Gosho team felt like a lion that had found its prey, and suddenly became a predatory beast from a lazy state, and the contrast between the front and back was almost like two teams, and it was Ivanovic who commanded the Gosau players to change the rhythm. Coach Xiao Yang gave Ivanovic a high tactical status on the field, and Ivanovic also repaid Coach Xiao Yang's trust with his outstanding performance. ”
Xiao Yang stood up from the dugout, he walked to the sideline to applaud Ivanovic's wonderful performance, he was really happy with Ivanovic's performance, he perfectly embodied all the qualities that a midfielder should have.
Ancelotti also walked to the sidelines, he also looked at Ivanovic, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, such an outstanding player, why not his own men? He made up his mind that next season, no matter what, he would ask the owner to buy Branislav Ivanovic to Paris Saint-Germain, he is too good, too suitable for his tactics, and he is still so young, if he can be bought, PSG will not have to worry about their midfield core for the next ten years.
Envy is envy, even if you want to buy Ivanovic, it is not a matter of now, and now Ancelotti still has to have a headache about how to prevent Ivanovic. He thought about it and felt that there was still nothing to do, and now he could only let the team continue to shrink the defense, and no matter what, at least in the first half, he couldn't concede any more goals. He waved his hands on the sidelines and shouted at his players to recycle, and after suffering a big loss, several of PSG's midfielders were more honest and obediently retreated to their positions at Ancelotti's gestures.
Seeing that the Paris Saint-Germain team retracted again, the Gosho team was also happy to relax, and played the ball control at the back again, anyway, it is the Gosau team that is leading now, even if it is 1:0 like this, it is completely an acceptable result.
This time, the Gosho team fell in the backfield, and the players of the Paris Saint-Germain team did not come forward to press, and there was a strange scene of the Gosau team conducting passing training in the half, and the Gosau fans couldn't help but start to shout loudly again The players of the Paris Saint-Germain team have learned to be obedient, no matter how the fans of Gosau boo, they will never come forward.
The first half ended so uneventfully, and the Gosho team went into the break with a score of 1:0. In the dressing room, the players were in high spirits, and they did not expect to play so easily against such a strong opposition as Paris Saint-Germain. However, Xiao Yang sounded the alarm bell for them, saying that a strong team like Paris Saint-Germain will never be so restrained, and they will definitely launch a fierce counterattack in the second half, and the Gossau team must be careful of the opponent's counterattack and not be caught off guard by the opponent.
After the start of the second half, Ancelotti did replace the defender Motta with Turkish striker Erdin, which was obviously a signal for Paris Saint-Germain to strengthen their attack, and in the actual game, Paris Saint-Germain did strengthen their attack in the front field and put more personnel in the attack.
