Chapter 17 Sporting Lisbon

On February 10, the second half of the Swiss League season began. Gosau challenged Neuchau on this day away. After a winter break, Egman did not lose his shooting boots. He scored twice. Kadinho and the substitute Ivanovic also made contributions respectively. Gosau defeated their opponents 4-2.

On February 16, Gosau played against the second-ranked Zurich team in the league at home. Zurich resisted strongly, but under the strong offensive of Gosau, they still lost 1:2. Egman and Salihovic scored for Gosau respectively. After this game, Gosho has further expanded their points advantage in the league. They are 15 points ahead of Basel, which is now second, and their momentum to win the championship is almost unshakable.

But at the beginning of the second half of the season, Gosho's two consecutive wins seemed unstoppable, but on February 22, they were hit by Arau in the away game. In the middle of the week, Goshao was going to challenge his opponent Sporting Lisbon in the first round of the Champions League knockout match. In this game, Goshao sent a large number of substitutes. Because Arau has been hovering near the relegation zone, they did not intend to capture Goshao's substitute lineup in this game, but launched a desperate resistance. In the first half of Goshao Although they occupied an obvious advantage on the court, they could not break the iron barrel array of the Arau team. At the beginning of the second half, the Arau team went to the next city through a quick counterattack. The Gosho team was obviously a little stunned. They still couldn't find their state in the roar of Lin Fenglei. Not only did they not score for a long time, but they were almost beaten by Arau. The counterattack expanded the score and had to go down. Lin Fenglei sent Egman again. His appearance was immediate. In the 81st minute, Sanchez passed the ball. The quality of the pass was not very high. Some of it was behind, but Egman was a rhinoceros looking at the moon and sent the ball into the goal. Then he also had a shot. Zhu, but because there was little time left in the game, he was also unable to recover. In the end, Gosho was tied by Arau 1:1.

Lin Fenglei doesn't care about this draw. Now Goshao's point advantage in the league is big enough. With the current combat effectiveness of Goshao, winning the league championship is only a matter of time, and occasionally a draw is not a bad thing.

On February 26, Gosho went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to play the first round of the first round of the knockout match of the Champions League with Sporting Lisbon. Sporting Lisbon is one of Portugal's traditional top three. They were divided into Group G in the group stage. Their opponents at the same level were Manchester United, Feyenoord and Ukrainian Kharkiv Metallurgy. As a result, Manchester United took the top position in the group without any suspense. Before the last round, Atletico Lisbon was two points behind Feyenoord, but he In the last round, we defeated Feyenoord at home and overtook our opponents by 1 point and got on the last bus of the group. In the draw in the knockout stage, they drew the first Gosho team in Group E.

Both sides are quite satisfied with the result of this draw. For the Gosho team, Sporting Lisbon is not a particularly strong opponent. For Sporting Lisbon, although the momentum of Gosho has been very strong in recent years, it is at least better to meet them than to meet Barcelona, right? After the draw came out, both sides are looking forward to defeating their opponents and entering the next round.

There is another person who is also looking forward to this game. He is Ribeiro, the left-back of Gosau. Ribeiro debuted in the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon. This team is also his favorite team. Just as he was 18 years old and could sign a professional contract, Sporting Lisbon told him that he could not reach the standards of the first team of Sporting Lisbon and would not be able to sign a professional contract with the team.

Ribeiro can't remember how he left the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon at that time. A cold notice of Sporting Lisbon ruthlessly killed his dream. If Goshao hadn't taken him in, I'm afraid he wouldn't know which low-level league team he would have had a chance to play in the UEFA Champions League. Thinking of this, he was full of gratitude to Lin Fenglei. It was Lin Fenglei who found and reused him that made him have today.

Ribeiro decided that in the game against the old owner, he would do his best to help the Gosho team advance. This is not only to let the old owner see his current ability, but more importantly, it is a reward for his kindness.

In the match against Sporting Lisbon, Lin Fenglei played the main force, and Ribeiro also started. Now Ribeiro has become the first choice for the left-back position of the Gosho team, because Kufre is very old, and now he is more of a substitute, and Sanchez's assists are not as good as Ribeiro's. In addition, Ribeiro has an excellent set-piece, so if there are no special situation, Lin Fenglei will give priority to Ribeiro.

The game was also broadcast live by CCTV. Duan Xuan is introducing the game to the Chinese audience: "With the whistle of the referee, the game begins. After the opening, the two sides were still carefully testing and did not immediately launch a large-scale attack. After entering the Champions League knockout stage, all teams have become more cautious, which is understandable. Now it has been ten minutes since the beginning of the game. Neither side has a single shot, and the two sides are more entangled in the midfield.

After a brief temptation after the opening, Lin Fenglei stood up from the coach's seat. He gestured to the players on the court to make them press more offensive. The players who had been suppressing their desire to attack suddenly launched a tidal offensive against the previous teety. For a moment, there were frequent emergencies in front of the goal of the Lisbon Athletic team. Their head coach Pinto couldn't sit still. He also stood up and gestured to direct the players to defend.

Pinto was very helpless. Although he also felt that it was better to draw Gosho than to draw Barcelona, after watching the video of Gosho's game, he knew that this was a difficult opponent, and maybe it was not better than Barcelona. Barcelona has Messi, but Gosho also has an Egman. His offensive ability is no worse than Barcelona, and in terms of defensive ability, Gosho may be stronger than Barcelona. Sporting Lisbon is in the Portuguese Super League and has a very limited budget, so Sporting Lisbon can't keep people. It has trained some good players and have been poached out by big clubs. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world, was born in the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon. Atlético Lisbon now has limited strength. The best player in Pingto's hand is Chile's front midfielder Fernandez, but he is now being stared at by Antunović, the best player of the European Cup in Gosho, just like disappearing on the court.

Thinking of this, Pingto is very envious of Lin Fenglei. Although Goshao is also in the small league, Lin Fenglei himself is also the president of the club and has raised a large amount of money to retain the people he wants to keep. Pinto thought that if he was like Lin Fenglei, he might have created so many miracles.

Just as Panto was thinking, Gosho scored a goal. In the 15th minute, Avanzini took the ball to the front court, and the right-back of Sporting Lisbon came up to intercept. Avanzini did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball directly to Ribeiro, who inserted the assist after a fake move. Ribeiro was unguarded. In the case of the bottom pass, the ball accurately found Egman at the front point. Egman easily took off and pushed the ball into the goal of Sporting Lisbon. Atletico Lisbon's Portuguese goalkeeper Patricio just waved his hand and watched the ball enter. He was really powerless about this close-range header.

Duan Xuan roared excitedly: "Ripero passed the ball, and Egman headed the goal and scored. This kind of ball is as easy as drinking water for a center at the level of Egman. Ribeiro's pass is so good that all Egman has to do is to head the ball gently. Ribeiro is very active in this game. It seems that he wants to prove himself to his old boss. Ribeiro came from the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon, but was finally abandoned by Sporting Lisbon. Now Gosau is 1-0 ahead of Sporting Lisbon, and this is a valuable away goal, and the situation is very favorable for Gosau.

Pinto looked depressedly at Ribeiro, who was celebrating on the court. Ribeiro was abandoned by the director of the Lisbon Athletic Youth Training Camp because he thought that Ribeiro was not strong enough to play in the first team of Sporting Lisbon. When Ribeiro played the main force in the Gosau team, Pento called the director of the youth training camp and scolded him. After watching the game video of Gosau, Pento felt that with Ribero's excellent positioning skills, he should also stay at Atletico Lisbon, and now he should be the main left-back of Atletico Lisbon. But what else can I say now? Sporting Lisbon gave a piece of jade to Gosho in vain, and it was free.

Pinto roared at the court. He thought that Toner, who was responsible for keeping an eye on Egman, made Egman jump too easily, but Toner was also full of grievances. He was almost 33 years old this year, and he was only 1.85 meters tall, which was 6 centimeters worse than Egman, and in terms of physical fitness and header skills. It's completely incomparable. He thought depressedly, if I could keep an eye on this pervert, why would I stay at Atletico Lisbon and get thousands of euros a week's salary? He wouldn't have gone to a rich family like Real Madrid and Manchester United and get tens of thousands of euros a weekly salary?

After complaining, after Pingto roared, Tonel still tried his best to keep an eye on Egman. With his many years of experience, he also temporarily restrained Egman's performance, and the situation of Sporting Lisbon began to improve.
