Chapter 65 Eindhoven
This eye-catching Super Cup final has attracted many celebrities to watch the game, including many stars in the sports and entertainment world, football stars, and the head coaches of many football clubs who also came to watch the game, because the game will be held in Monaco in two days. The draw ceremony of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Before the game, these famous players and head coaches who came to Monaco were interviewed by reporters and made their own predictions about the results of the game. Most people thought that Goshao would win the game, because Goshao's results in the past two years were so good.
Ferguson is the most optimistic about the Gosho team. He told reporters: "There is no suspense in this game. Lin Fenglei will win his first European Super Cup championship trophy."
Ferguson's words are eye-catching, because although others are optimistic about the Gosho team, they usually just say that the Gosho team has a bigger victory.
Of course, there are also bad-mouthing Gosho. The most typical representative is Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho. He told reporters: "I don't think Gosho can win this game. A large part of their good results in the past two years are due to their good luck. Eindhoven is a strong team, and coach Stevens is also very experienced. I think they will have an advantage. Not only is it difficult for the Gosho team to win this game, but they will also show their true form in this season's European competition.
It is easy to find a person who is not optimistic about the Gosho team. The reporters are all well aware of the feud between Mourinho and Lin Fenglei, so they hyped up Mourinho's remarks to attract the attention of fans.
However, when the reporter interviewed Lin Fenglei and asked him what he thought of Mourinho's remarks, Lin Fenglei just smiled and said, "I don't say what the result of this game is now. Let's wait until the game is over. But I think Mr. Mourinho should be more concerned about the situation of Real Madrid now. I'm curious how Mr. Mourinho has the leisure to care about the Gosau team with such a strong opponent as Barcelona.
After Lin Fenglei's words were disclosed by the media, Mourinho was said to have dropped an ashtray in the hotel room where he was staying. Of course, it was only said that Mourinho himself did not admit it, and he did not say anything to the reporter about the Gosho team.
On August 30, this year's UEFA Super Cup was held as scheduled. Major media around the world reported on the game. Of course, CCTV also broadcast the game live.
Duan Xuan is introducing the situation of the game to the audience as usual: "Good evening, everyone in front of the TV. Now we are broadcasting the final of this year's European Super Cup in Monaco. The two sides are the champion of the UEFA Champions League last season, Switzerland's Gosau team, and last season's UEFA Europa League champion Einho. Team Wen. Both teams are the second time in history to participate in the Super Cup, but they lost the first Super Cup. Therefore, whoever wins today's game will win the first European Super Cup trophy in the club's history.
"The players from both sides have now entered the court. Let's take a look at the lineup of both sides. The starting lineup of Gosho is goalkeeper Checarelli. This 18-year-old young goalkeeper has become the main goalkeeper of Gosho this season. He comes from Italy. He is tall, has excellent response, strong air control ability, and technical characteristics are similar to Italian legendary goalkeeper Buffon, and now he is known as Buffon's successor. Gosho's left back is Ribeiro, right back Gugleman, the two central defenders are the combination of Salihovic and Chevali, midfielder Antunović, left winger Avantzini, right winger Hollensten, front midfielder Lima, and the two strikers are the partners of Egman and Kodinho. This lineup is also the main lineup of the Goshao team.
The goalkeeper of Eindhoven is Brazilian goalkeeper Casio, left-back Salcido, right-back Thor, and the two central defenders are a combination of Murdel and Otamendi. Eindhoven played three defensive midfielders in the midfield today, slightly behind Belgium international Wittens, the other two are Strummann and Colombian international Rodriguez, their left winger is Hungarian international Judzak, the right winger is Dutch rising star Gastel, and the single striker is Sweden. Foot toyvonin. This lineup is different from the usual formation used by Eindhoven, and it is more defensive. It seems that Coach Stevens is really afraid of the strength of the Gosho team.
"With the whistle of Belgian Brickley, the referee on duty, the game began. At the beginning of the game, Gosho, who attacked from left to right, first launched a fierce attack. After Egman opened the ball, he inserted it to the front of the penalty area to receive Avanzini's pass and received a long-range shot directly. This shot was very threatening. It was lifted out of the crossbar by Casio's single palm. At this time, it was only 30 seconds away from the ball. It seems that the Goshao team is determined to win today's game.
Lin Fenglei sat on the coach's seat and looked at the situation on the court. He was very satisfied with the state of the Gosho team today. In the first two minutes of the game, the Gosho team had two threatening shots. After Egman's long-range shot was blocked, Ribeiro's corner kick was grabbed by Salihovic at the first point. This ball He went straight to the far post, but unfortunately, the right-back Thor, who was standing next to the post by the Eindhoven team, was pushed out of the penalty area.
However, after watching for about ten minutes, Lin Fenglei frowned. Although Eindhoven was passive on the court, they were not panicked at all. Instead, they began to compete fiercely with the Gosho team from the midfield. The three defensive midfielders they arranged in the midfield were good, and they did not fall in the midfield competition. Downside, coupled with their two wingers running back and forth at the expense of physical strength, Eindhoven and Gosho formed a stalemate for a while. Except for the opening two shots, the two sides did not shoot again in the ten-minute game.
Although the game can't start for a while, Lin Fenglei is not going to make any adjustments to the tactics. It's still early, and Eindhoven also doesn't have a good chance. Moreover, Eindhoven's playing style is very exhausting. When their players' physical strength decline, the opportunity for the Gosho team will come. So Lin Fenglei decided to take a look at the game again. Of course, he still walked to the sidelines, signaling the players to be more patient and not to be impatient.
Egman was a little upset. In today's game, the Eindhoven team fought fiercely in the midfield, resulting in Gosho's lack of support for him. He rarely got the ball. Occasionally, he got the ball several times. Eindhoven also used two people to defend him. In addition to central defender Mulder, Eindhoven's right-back Thor also often moves next to Egman, making it difficult for Egman to have a chance to shoot. The two defenders have a lot of small moves, which makes Egman feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes they deliberately provoke Egman, hoping to irrit him, but Egman is disdainful and angers me? You succeeded, but you have to pay a price to provoke me.
Egman began to take the initiative to increase the ballless run, which made the two players who defended him very difficult. Follow him and mess up his defensive formation. Don't follow him. Stevens, his head coach, explained that Egman is the most threatening figure in the Gosho team and must follow him closely.
Just as the two were hesitating, the Gosho launched a very threatening attack. In the 14th minute, Gosho's free kick in the backcourt. Salikovich kicked the ball to the front court. Kodinho grabbed a header and knocked the ball back to Hollensten. At this time, Gugelman suddenly stepped forward and made a two-to-one cooperation with Hollensten. Hollensten took the ball to the bottom and passed it to the middle. He deliberately passed the ball back. Egman, who retreated heavily, received the pass on the penalty line. At this time, only Thor followed him. He made a fake move, easily shook the angle, and was ready to shoot. Thor tripped Egman in a hurry.
