Chapter 19 The Way of Rotation
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Mazari: "Today, you fought against them at the home of the Gosau team. This is a very brave act, but it also led to the loss of the Naples team to the Gosau team. Do you regret the tactics you arranged today?"
Mazari shook his head firmly: "No, I will never regret the tactics I arranged. In my football concept, football should be played like this. In a football match, it should be compared with which team scored more goals, not which team lost fewer goals. I think that the increasing utilitarianization of modern football is a major hindrance to the development of football, so I hope to prove with my practical actions that playing like the Naples team can also achieve good results.
Mazari's words won a lot of applause from the stage, and even Lin Fenglei looked at Mazari with a smile and clasped hard.
After the applause subsided, Lin Fenglei expressed his support for Mazari: "I agree with Mr. Mazari's words. My football philosophy has always been mainly offensive. I hope that fans can see more wonderful football. However, I am not as thorough in offensive football as Mr. Mazari. On some occasions, I also use defensive tactics, because I want to ensure that the team does not lose. This proves that I am also utilitarian, so I want to say that on this point, I am not inferior to Mr. Mazari.
Lin Fenglei's words made the reporters under the stage laugh. Mazari also picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin Fenglei is too modest. In fact, I have always liked to watch the Gosho team's ball and their playing style very much. Admittedly, the Goshao team sometimes uses defensive tactics as Mr. Lin Fenglei said, but their defensive tactics are absolutely not conservative. Their defense is aggressive, and their counterattack success rate is quite high. At this point, the Naples team still has to learn from the Gosau team.
Lin Fenglei said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Mazari, let's not flatter each other here. In a word, we both agree, that is, we hope that the development direction of football will become more and more positive. I hope that all the fans can watch the wonderful football game, instead of working hard all night watching a boring 0:0, which is unfair to the fans.
Lin Fenglei and Mazari's remarks at the post-match press conference have aroused a strong response in European football. Many people are very supportive of their views. Of course, some people don't agree. They think that defense is also a part of football, and good defense is also very durable. People who really know the ball watch a game. A lot can also be seen in the 0:0 game.
This view has been refuted by many people. They think that most fans can't say that they know too much about the ball and will not focus on studying these things. Don't they have the right to watch the game? If so, football will only go to a dead end.
The head coaches of many middle and downstream teams complain that they can't fight against each other when they meet a strong team, right? That's purely for death, so you must have a certain strength to play offensive football.
This statement resonated with Valverde, the head coach of Olympiacos. His team played away against Borussia Dortmund in the second round of the group stage. He once again adopted intensive defensive tactics and almost tied Dortmund. Dortmund scored a goal only in the 88th minute of the game, with 1: 0 small victory over Olympiacos.
Valverde said that if he lets Olympiakos rashly fight against strong teams such as Gosau and Dortmund, maybe they can score one or two goals, but their own goal will definitely be beaten into a sieve by their opponents. Therefore, in a game of great strength, it is If it is inappropriate, all kinds of tactics should be used flexibly.
His remarks aroused a strong response, but Lin Fenglei did not join the debate. In his opinion, he is not a football theory researcher. It is enough to use tactics that he thinks are appropriate and can make the game wonderful in the game. There is no need to spend energy on arguing with others.
At present, in Group D of the Champions League, the Gosau team ranks first in the group with 6 points in two games, Borussia Dortmund ranks second with one win, one win, one draw and 4 points in two games, and Naples ranks third. They have one draw and one point in two games, and Olympiacos is at the bottom of the bottom of the two games.
After this group stage, Gosho will still play at home in the next game. They will play against the promoted Matuln team at home in the eleventh round of the Swiss Super League on October 5.
Before playing against Thun, Lin Fenglei got a good news. After further examination of Egman's ankle, it was found that there was no problem. He could play in this game, and Ribeiro's eyebrow bone was a little swollen after the stitch, affecting his vision, so he needed to take a break.
In the game against Thun, Lin Fenglei simply used most of the rotating players. Egman, who actively invited him, was also pressed on the bench. In the face of Egman's complaints, he said to Egman, "Silvan, I know you are not tired or injured, but you don't rest all the time. What if you get hurt? I also hope you can score more goals for me in more critical games. Don't compete with young people in this kind of competition, right? They are just waiting for this kind of game to have a chance to play.
Egman glanced at Esposito and Zhou Guodong, who were waiting for the opportunity to play, and smiled shyly: "Okay, boss, I'll listen to you. Give them this opportunity."
Egman also came from the time when he was looking forward to the opportunity to play. He understood the thoughts of these young players. Zhou Guodong is fine. He is only 18 years old, but Esposito is only one year younger than himself, but he is an iron substitute. His strength is not weak. He can play the main force in many rich teams - now is an era of lack of excellent strikers, but in the Gosho team, he has such an old and uninjured main force. The striker is Esposito's misfortune. As long as it is an important game, it is difficult for him to start.
Speaking of which, it is not easy for Lin Fenglei to keep Esposito. In fact, in the transfer period in recent years, some strong teams have offered a large price and main position to dig out Esposito, but Esposito has been staying in the Gosau team. First, when Esposito was depressed, it was Lin Fenglei who stretched out his hand and took it. Na also trained him, and he can't forget his original. Second, Espotito felt that there was an honor to win in the Gosho team, and Lin Fenglei also promised that he would slowly increase his playing time in the future.
Of course, Lin Fenglei does not want Esposito to leave. These days, it is not easy to find a substitute striker with his strength. Esposito can basically play a role on the game, and he is honest, without complaints, and does not engage in the team - hoping to increase the playing time is the common hope of every player who has a little pursuit. It's normal. Therefore, Lin Fenglei can only try his best to increase Esposito's chances of playing.
Of course, it's not just Esposito who needs playing time. Old players like Tobinski and Silva need to play to maintain their state and appease their emotions, and young players such as Hodel, Zhou Guodong and Chekaroni also need high quality. The game to increase their ability and experience, they represent the future of the Gosho team.
Only Lin Fenglei, who is a coach and a boss, can train young players like this. Other head coaches dare not do this for the sake of performance, so they have more frequent injuries under them.
In this game, Esposito and Zhou Guodong served as the starting strikers. In the first half, Esposito swept the goal at the bottom of the penalty area, forcing Thun's Hungarian midfielder Grae to block the ball into his gate, and Gosho changed the score to 1:0.
In the second half of the game, Tobinski made a cross from the left, and the landing point was a little far from the goal. Esposito headed the ball back to the point, and the inserted Lima shot angrily, and the ball went straight to the upper right corner. The Gosho team changed the score to 2-0.
In the end, the Gosho team won the promotion Ma Thun by 2-0, and continued to lead the table with a horrible record of 10 wins and 1 draw in 11 rounds of the league.
