Chapter 103 Opening of the new stadium
In a blink of an eye, it was January 15, 2014, which was the day of the opening ceremony of the new home stadium of Goshao Club, and the opening date of the invitational "Wind and Thunder Cup" held by Goshao Club.
In the afternoon of this day, Gao Peng was full of friends in front of the gate of the "Wind and Thunder Stadium". A group of international football leaders led by FIFA President Blatter and UEFA President Platini came to Gosho to support the opening ceremony of Gosho's new home stadium. They were all personally invited by Lin Fenglei. Since the headquarters of FIFA and UEFA are located in Switzerland, it is also very convenient for them to come to Gosau. At this point, the Gosau team can be regarded as a first-come, first-served basis.
At the opening ceremony, tens of thousands of fans visited the opening ceremony of the Thunder Stadium. They also bought tickets for the first game of the new stadium and the game between Gosau and Zurich. The game started at 4 p.m., and now tens of thousands of fans are rushing to the Thunder Stadium to watch the first game of this magnificent stadium. Outside the stadium, there are hundreds of local police and security personnel invited by the Gosho Club to maintain order.
At 2:00 p.m., the host of the unveiling ceremony announced that the unveiling ceremony had officially begun. The music sounded and fireworks were played at the scene, and the fans also gave warm applause. Lin Fenglei stretched out his hand with a smile and invited Blatter and Platini to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new stadium with him.
The three of them walked to the front of a red ribbon that had been prepared for a long time. Blatter was in the middle, Platini stood on his right, and Lin Fenglei stood on the left.
Blatter shouted, "I announce that the Wind and Thunder Stadium has officially started!" The guests and fans at the scene suddenly applauded and cheered.
Then the three took the three golden scissors handed over by Miss Etiquette. After signaling each other, they cut the red ribbon at the same time under countless flashes. After handing the scissors back to Miss Etiquette, Blatter and Platini shook hands with Lin Fenglei to congratulate the Gosho Club. The brief ribbon-cutting ceremony ended.
After Lin Fenglei led Blatter, Platini and all the guests into the court and arranged them to the best box, the police and security personnel began to open the stadium and let the fans enter.
After everyone entered the Wind and Thunder Stadium, their first reaction was "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Indeed, the newly completed Fenglei Stadium is magnificent and very modern, which is not inferior to any well-known football stadium in the world.
Many fans are glad to be able to buy tickets for the first game after the completion of Gosho Club's new home stadium. They are determined to treasure the tickets for today's game.
At 4 p.m., the first game of the first "Wind Thunder Cup" was also the first game after the completion of the Wind Thunder Stadium. The game between Gosau and Zurich at home began as scheduled. Although this is only a friendly match, it has attracted the attention of many media. Media in many countries have purchased the broadcasting rights of this game, including CCTV.
After Blatter held a kick-off ceremony for both sides, the game officially began. Both sides sent their main lineup in today's game. Lin Fenglei sent the combination of Ivanovic and Lima in the midfield. This combination is more aggressive. It seems that he wants to make a good start to his first game at Fenglei Stadium with a beautiful start.
Charles Landes, the head coach of the Zurich team, also sent all the main players without reservation. Although his personal relationship with Lin Fenglei is not bad, he is after all the head coach of Zurich, the biggest competitor of the Gosho team in the league, and he is also very good at winning. In recent years, Zurich's results have been very bleak in the direct dialogue with the Gosau team, so even if this game is just a friendly match, Challandes does not want to lose to the Gosau team again.
In fact, in addition to being repeatedly defeated against Gosau, the Zurich team has achieved good results in the league and European competitions. Now they still rank second in the league and won the third place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. They can participate in the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League. In the cup, they also enter the cup. Entered the semi-finals.
Zurich's performance is so stable, thanks to the excellent performance of several new players this season. Bijericha has now become Lewandowski's best forward partner. The total number of goals scored in various games in the first half of the season has also reached 45, which is second only to the combination of Gosho's Egman and Kadinho.
After a short run-in at the beginning of the season, Shaqiri has now become the main force of Zurich's right midfield, and has repeatedly performed well. Charles Landers is also very dependent on him now.
In this game, these players also started all, and Charlanders hopes to use their excellent attack ability to compete with the Gosho team.
After the start of the game, the two well-known teams began a fierce attack without any temptation. Because it is not a formal game, they are not under so much pressure, so they are relatively open, and there are endless wonderful scenes, which also makes the fans who come to the scene shout.
At the first 6 minutes of the game, Egman, the winner of the New Science and Technology Golden Globe Award, received a strong header from Avazzini's bottom pass, setting the first record for the Gosho team. The header made Zurich's central defender Balmetler helpless, and he completely lost to Egman in the physical confrontation. This ball also shows the strength of the Golden Globe winner.
In the 13th minute, Holensten took the ball to the front court on the right side, and then sent a straight plug. Kodinho succeeded in offside in the penalty area, but his shot was blocked out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper Miller of the Zurich team. Gosho's front waist Lima followed up and directly hit a world wave. The ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the Zurich team's goal. Miller did not get up on the ground at this time, so he could only send the ball into the net.
In the 25th minute, Zurich, which had been two goals behind, played a wonderful team cooperation. Left-back Vasquez dribbled the ball from the bottom and passed it to the ball. Bijelyka near the penalty area line headed back to the point, giving the ball to the midfielder Elgert, who inserted the assist. Elgert Ma * knocked the ball to Shaqiri at the front of the penalty area, Sha Chiri raised his foot to make a momentum shot. When the defender of the Gosho team subconsciously wanted to block his shot, he sent a precise straight plug. Lewandowski inserted into the attacking Checarelli behind the penalty area and directly raised his foot and shot low in the far corner. The ball entered the net, and Zurich pulled back a goal.
In the 34th minute, Codingho received a direct pass from Lima and shook the central defender Chakuri, who was defending him. He broke into the penalty area and passed the ball. Egman wrapped it in front of the goal and easily pushed the pass into the empty goal. He scored twice in this game, which also expanded the score to 3:1 for Gosho.
In the remaining ten minutes of the first half of the game, each side had several good chances, but no more goals were scored. As a result, the two sides ended in the first half of the game at 3:1.
In the second half, Lin Fenglei first replaced several starters. He replaced Ivanovic with Antunović, Egman with Esposito, Salekovich with Silva, Avazzini with Tobinski and Gugelman with Sampedro. Since this is only a friendly match, there is no limit on the number of substitutions.
Charlanders also changed two players, but the players he relied on most remained on the field, which also shows that Charlanders still has a good idea about this game.
In the 58th minute of the second half of the game, Zurich striker Bjerichka received Lewandowski's bottom pass and scored a header, bringing the score to 2:3 for Zurich. Charles Landes saw the hope of equalizing the score. He stood on the court and waved his players to continue to strengthen the attack.
However, just five minutes after Zurich's goal, Lima used his personal ability to pass three Zurich defenders in a row in the front court and then passed directly to the penalty area. Kadinho succeeded in offside. After receiving the ball, he calmly pushed the near corner, and once again expanded the score advantage to two goals for Gosho.
After Kadinho scored, Lin Fenglei immediately replaced Kao Dingho with Chinese player Zhou Guodong, Lema with Hodel, Ribero with Ceccaroni, and Checarelli with Ret. In this way, Gosho's starting lineup was almost changed, leaving only the starting defender Chevali on the court.
Charles Landes has also changed several players. After all, this is a warm-up before the start of the second half of the season, and he also needs to examine the status of the players.
In the following game, Shaqiri and Esposito scored a goal each. The final score was 5:3. Gosau defeated Zurich at home, which also made a good start for Gosau's first game at the new home Thunder Stadium.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Challanders smiled and walked to Lin Fenglei, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Lin Fenglei, and congratulated him on the Gosho team's good start at the Fenglei Stadium. Although he was a little upset by losing to Gosho again, he had a good relationship with Lin Fenglei. In addition, this was the first game of Gosho's new home game, so he still has this temperament.
In the second game of the "Wind and Thunder Cup" held at 7 p.m., Basel and the young team also played a wonderful offensive battle. The goals of the two sides were like plum blossoms. In the end, the two teams shook hands 3-3.
In this way, after the end of the first round, the Gosau team ranked first with 3 points, Basel and the young people tied for second place with 1 point, and Zurich ranked at the bottom with 0 points. Three days later, on January 18, these four teams will also fight against each other for the second round of the Wind and Thunder Cup.
