Chapter 42 The Cunning Yakin

There have been many shocking endings in this round of the Champions League. In the last round of Group A, the Scottish Celtics defeated Valencia of Spain at home and overtook their opponents by 1 point, winning the second place in the group and the second place in the group.

Paris Saint-Germain in Group B abandoned themselves. After losing their hope of qualifying, they lost 0:1 to CSKA Moscow at home in the last round, and even lost their qualification for the UEFA Europa League. Olympiacos, who was originally ranked second, lost to AC Milan at home in the last round, and lost it. Line power.

However, the most surprising result is Juventus in Group H. They actually lost to Feyenoord in the last round. Although Galatasaray in the same group also lost to Borussia Dortmund in the away game, Juventus and Galatasalay scored the same points and did not have an advantage in each other's record. The result was only The depressed ranking is third, and I can only participate in the UEFA Europa League in the second half of the season. Juventus has been unable to qualify from the group stage of the Champions League for the second consecutive year.

After this round of group matches, all the sixteen expenditure line teams of the eight groups were also produced. They are:

Group A: England Manchester United, Scottish Celtics;

Group B: Italian AC Milan, CSKA Moscow;

Group C: Bayern Munich, Germany, Arsenal England;

Group D: Real Madrid Spain, Zurich Switzerland;

Group E: Gosau, Switzerland, Bordeaux, France;

Group F: Barcelona of Spain, Leverkusen of Germany;

Group G: Schalke 04 in Germany, Chelsea in England;

Group H: Germany's Dortmund, Turkey's Galatasaray.

Among the four major league teams, Germany and England are the biggest winners. All the teams they played in the group stage broke through from the group, including four Germany and three England; but Germany has three groups, while England has only one. The German team has been very strong in European competitions in recent seasons, and there is a tendency to become the largest league in Europe.

The current top European league, La Liga, has lost two teams in the group stage, but their two super teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, have successfully won the first place in the group, so they are still very competitive in the back.

Serie A suffered heavy losses. They lost their championship and runner-up team last season in the group stage, leaving only AC Milan to support them. The most ironic is that AC Milan's results in Serie A this season are unbearable.

The two teams participating in the Swiss League have all come out of the siege. It goes without saying that it is almost effort for them to win the top of the group, and Zurich team can eliminate Naples from the line, which makes people very optimistic about their future. I believe that the Swiss team is also increasingly becoming an important force in Europe.

In the top 16 of this season, there are four teams outside the five major leagues, which makes many fans feel that the quality of the knockout match will decline, but this is also a good thing. If the UEFA Champions League is all dominated by the five major league teams, it is also what many people do not want to see.

After playing the last round of the group stage of the Champions League, Gosau welcomed Basel at home on December 13. The two teams will play a quarter-final of the Swiss Cup here to determine a team to enter the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup this season.

Basel has suffered too many injuries this season, resulting in poor results in the league and the UEFA Europa League, ranking only seventh in the league. In the UEFA Europa League, they are now at the bottom of the group and have lost the hope of qualifying in the group one round earlier. It was easy to reach the quarterfinals in the cup, but in the quarter-finals, they were unlucky and drew a strong Gosho team, which made Basel fans lament.

Of course, there are also some Basel fans who think that it is a good draw for the team to win the Gosho team, because the Gosho team has always sent young players to play in the Swiss Cup this season. If they still send young players in this round, then Basel is not without a chance. With this mentality, more than 3,000 Basel fans came to Gosau with the team to cheer for the Basel team.

When the game began, these Basel fans found that Lin Fenglei, like the previous rounds of the Cup, sent a starting lineup of young players. Several 16-year-old players, such as Pereda, Gross and Juic, who were transferred from the youth team, suddenly appeared in the starting lineup. This made Basel fans overjoyed, who saw the dawn of Basel's promotion.

Of course, Basel's head coach Yakin also wants to get what even the fans want. For the young starting lineup of Gosho, he has formulated a tactic of consuming Gosho's sharpness first and then waiting for the opportunity to fight back. It sounds like a defensive counterattack, but Basel's defensive counterattack is not an ordinary defensive counterattack, because the players of Gosho are very young and very emotional. If you play against them, it is likely to make them play momentum, and it will not be easy to play at that time.

And Yakin let Basel players control the ball more, pay attention to the use of small moves in defense, foul in advance, use all means to slow down the speed of the Gosho team, and flirt with the anger of their young players. In this way, it is difficult for young people who are influenced by emotions to play their real level.

I have to say that the tactics formulated by Yakin are very effective. Although the young players of Gosho are very talented and talented, their experience is not natural. They are tempered by the soft and hard-bubble tactics of Basel. When the game is not held in the rhythm they are familiar with, they seem to be at a loss. They want to bring up the rhythm again and again, but how can Basel players be so cooperative? As a result, the Gosho team was in big trouble.

When Lin Fenglei saw that his young players were trapped in the quagmire of a battle, he saw them being pushed down by their opponents again and again, and when he saw that they couldn't suppress their anger and quarreled with their opponents. When he saw their confused eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head. They were still too young, but this was what he had thought for a long time. Have you arrived yet? In a sense, Lin Fenglei also wants to thank Yakin, who let the young geniuses of the Gosho team know how to play football and other ways. What is experience? This is experience. The experience gained through setbacks is the most reliable and valuable experience. Instead of making young people smooth sailing and encountering changes in opponents in key competitions, Lin Fenglei would rather let them suffer some setbacks as soon as possible, because it can accelerate their growth.

After the Basel team used their tactics to contain the Gosho's offensive, their counterattack was also very sharp. Fortunately, there was a Chekarelly standing in front of the Gosho's goal. Today, the Chekallelli with the captain's armband became more and more calm. He put the Basel team several times. There was a threat to shoot away from the door, and he shouted loudly from time to time, making the teammates on the back line concentrate and organize the defense line.

Chekarelelli's tall figure is more and more like Buffon, and he is now more and more domineering on the court. This is the self-confidence brought by his long-term excellent performance. Lin Fenglei believes that one day, Chekarelelli will grow into a real leader in the defense line like Buffon.

Driven by Checarelli, several young people on the back defense of the Gosho team stabilized their minds, and their performance became more and more stable, and the defense line of Gosho became more and more stable.

Of course, Gosho's offensive in the front court was still not very well organized. For Basel's entanglement, Gosho seemed to be very uncomfortable. Throughout the first half, they did not have a shot in the penalty area, only a few long-range shots, and only two shots hit the goal range.

For such a performance, the Gosho fans in the stands still showed great tolerance. They cheered for the team all the time, because they knew that such performance was just because the young people were inexperienced, and they had not forgotten that in the previous rounds of the Swiss Cup, these young people gave him What a wonderful performance you have given.

Basel head coach Yakin looked at the situation on the field and felt very satisfied. The tactics he formulated are very effective, and the players on the field are also very strong. So far, the situation on the field is still developing in a favorable direction for Basel.

Yakin thought to himself that if he could win the Gosho team in this game, it would be a great encouragement to the team's morale. Although Basel has been unfavorable this season, it has ranked relatively low now. However, with the return of the two absolute main players, striker Hravac and central defender Testa, Basel's performance has improved. In the last three rounds, Basel has won two games. Although it is only ranked seventh now, their points It is only seven points away from the Champions League. With the adjustment of the winter break, there is still great hope for them to enter the Champions League. If you can win another championship in the Swiss Cup, this season will also be satisfactory.

It seems that in order to confirm Yakin's idea, before the end of the first half, the referee La Perrierere showed a yellow card to the front waist of the Gosho team, because Jurich was driving the ball in the midfield just now, and Basel's Ito d'Ivoire midfielder Dubay pulled him to the ground with a very hidden action. After getting up from the ground, Jurich pushed Dubay angrily, and Dubay immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

Of course, La Perriere will not let go of such an action. He showed a yellow card to Curic, and this yellow card was the third yellow card that the Gosho team took in the first half. These three yellow cards were eaten because the young players could not control their emotions.
