Chapter 21 Victory over St. Garen
As a result, in the game against St. Garren, the rotation players of Gosho made a game that everyone expected to be evenly matched into one side of Gosho.
After the start of the game, Sangaron and Gosho still had attacks and defenses, and Perret also sat firmly on the fishing platform. However, in the 21st minute of the first half of the game, Ceccarani passed directly to Avanzini from the backcourt. Captain Gosho broke through with the ball like the wind as if he had not participated in the two national team games. St. Garren's right-back, and then passed the ball from the bottom. Esposito grabbed the front point and headed the goal vigorously. The ball was heavily smashed into the upper left corner of the goal. Gosho took a 1-0 lead.
Perret couldn't sit still immediately. He stood up from the coach's seat and yelled at his defenders, asking them to pay attention to their defensive position. When Esposito headed the ball just now, there was no defensive player beside him, which was an obvious mistake.
After Pereira roared, he returned to his coach's seat and sat down. He opened a bottle of mineral water and drank it while looking at the situation on the court. But he immediately widened his eyes, his throat was choked, and he made a violent cough. One hand was still pointing to the court. Fortunately, his assistant taught He stopped coughing after practicing patting him on the back.
It turned out that he had just sat down, and the Gosho team scored again. At that time, St. Garren launched an attack, but their pass in the front court was interrupted by Antunović. Antunović immediately passed the ball directly to Lima, and Lima passed the ball to Zhou Guodong in front of him. Zhou Guodong controlled the ball and attracted the opponent's defense. After sending a diagonal crossing ball, Horense was inserted at high speed on the right. Teng received the pass, and then immediately sent a pass. Esposito headed the ball in the middle and broke through St. Garren's goal again.
This goal is the same as Esposito's first goal. Not only is Esposito undefended, but even Hollensten didn't have a defensive player by his side when he passed the ball. Why didn't Pereira angry? As soon as Pereira took a breath, he shook off the water bottle in his hand, walked to the side of the court, and roared at his players. This time, he not only scolded the defensive players, but also the attacking players. They seemed careless in the attack, and their casual mistakes caused the goal.
Two consecutive goals and Pereira's roar finally played a role. St. Garren's players did concentrate their attention in the following games, and the game gradually became more and more balanced.
In the 41st minute, St. Garren made a quick counterattack. Their Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Aganovic broke into the penalty area with the ball at high speed, and then sent a close-range cross. Another striker Mustafi made a close-range header in front of the goal and won back a city for St. Garren. Chekarelli faced such a It's too late to react to the close attack.
Pereira was very excited and was able to score a point before the end of the first half, which was much better than entering the halftime with a score of 0:2. He went to the sidelines and urged his players to continue to strengthen their offensive and strive to score another goal quickly and draw before the end of the first half.
However, there was little time left in the first half of the game, and neither side could score more goals. Gosau entered the halftime with a 2:1 lead.
Fifteen minutes after the halftime break, the two teams changed sides and fought again. San galen and Gosho were still attacking and defending each other at the beginning of the second half, but in the 65th minute, Esposito's third goal changed the situation.
After Holensten dribbled the ball to the front court on the right side, he sent a straight plug. Zhou Guodong received the ball and dribbled the ball to the bottom. This time, the defender of St. Garren's was very close to him. When he saw that there was no chance, he knocked back to Horensten, who had entered the penalty area. Horensten kept sending a cross, Es. Posito still grabbed the landing point under the close eye of St. Garren's central defender Schenker, and his header knocked on St. Garren's goal for the third time.
Esposito was very excited after scoring the goal, and he staged a hat-trick. He was also in danger in this game. In the case of physical problems with the main players, Lin Fenglei entrusted him with an important task, and he lived up to expectations and handed over a perfect answer.
Pereira is powerless and angry. This time, the defender of St. Garren did not lose his position, but he still lost the ball. Now that his team is two goals behind, he has to find a way to turn the situation around. He immediately replaced two defenders with two offensive players. Anyway, he still wanted to win and couldn't wait for death.
After Pereira made a substitution adjustment, St. galen's offensive was indeed strong, but the defense line of Gosau, which did not have a main player, has withstood the test and resisted several consecutive waves of attacks by St. Garren.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Gosho captain Avanzini passed the ball to the bottom after pushing the ball at high speed on the left. Zhou Guodong stopped the ball in the middle and was ready to shoot. After St. Garren's goalkeeper Konigge blocked Zhou Guodong's shot, but the ball did not bounce very far, and followed Lima in the middle. For a moment, he made a make-up shot and pushed the ball into the empty goal.
The score of 4:1 made St. Garren's morale very low. No matter how much Pereira roared, they still looked a little listless on the court.
Gosho's offensive has not stopped yet. The game lasted until the 84th minute. Chekaroni passed Avanzini from the backcourt. Avanzini pushed the ball to the front court and then passed it across to Lima. Lima's direct pass to Egman, who had just replaced Esposito. Egman broke into the penalty area and passed it to the front of the door. He missed several times before. Guodong finally seized the opportunity. He wrapped it in front of the door and pushed the ball into the empty goal.
The score of 5:1 made Pereira sit weakly on the coaching bench. Now he knows how ridiculous his pre-match idea is and how big the strength gap between St. Garren and Gosho is.
In the end, Gosho swept St. Garren 5:1 at home, entered the third round of the Swiss Cup, and continued their journey to defend their title.
At the post-match press conference, Lin Fenglei praised Esposito's performance. He believed that Esposito's performance was the key to Gosho's victory today.
A reporter mentioned that Esposito has played nine times in Gosau this season and has scored 8 goals, but he has not even entered the list of the Italian national team.
Lin Fenglei complained about this for Esposito. He said that Esposito's level has completely reached the level of the Italian national team, and Esposito is exactly the type of striker that the Italian team lacks now. He is tall and strong, has excellent header ability and skill. Comprehensively, it is the new generation of strong center in Italy after Vieri and Tony. He hopes that Prandelli's head coach can see Esposito's excellent performance and call him into the new Italian team list.
A Chinese reporter asked Lin Fenglei that he saw Zhou Guodong's good performance in this game, and he played well every time he played. Why can't he enter the main team of Goshao?
Lin Fenglei didn't know how to answer the strange question of this Chinese reporter. He asked back, "Then do you think the atonement Guodong can replace Egman or Kao Dinghuo?"
This question made the Chinese reporter tongue-dropping.
Lin Fenglei continued: "Zhou Guodong is indeed a very potential player, but he is still very young, less than 18 years old, so he should be more cautious about his use and can't be promoted. And at present, his ability is indeed not as good as the current main strikers of Gosho. Therefore, it can be said that Zhou Guodong is the future of the Goshao team, not the present.
After saying such a long paragraph, Lin Fenglei is also very depressed. There are always such NC reporters in China. If you ask such strange questions, you can't push them. After all, China is your motherland, and Chinese fans are also very good fans. Your answer should make Chinese fans satisfied. However, it's really tiring to answer this kind of question.
