Chapter 13 European Super Cup
The victory of the Gosau team is their eight-game winning streak since the start of the new season. It is also their seventh consecutive game with zero goals. After this game, more and more media have paid attention to the excellent performance of Gosau's goalkeeper Checarelli. Many people have complained about him because he has not yet played for the Italian national team. After playing once, although he was selected to the big list for every national team game, he always sat on the bench.
It is ridiculous that when Buffon has retired, the main goalkeeper of the Italian national team is always uncertain. The starting goalkeeper has been changed several times, while Ceccarelli is the most selected goalkeeper in the national team, but coach Prandelli is unwilling to give him even one chance.
If he was not allowed to play because he was young and inexperienced in the competition, but Buffon made his first appearance for the Italian national team when he was 19 years old, and Ceccarelli was already the main goalkeeper of Gosho, a three-game winning team in the Champions League. It can't be said that he was inexperienced in the competition.
However, Prandelli did not respond to these remarks. Chekareli himself was very modest. He said that he was still young and should sit on the bench and learn more from his predecessors.
In this round of the Swiss Super League, Zurich finally stopped its decline. They defeated the promoted Ma Arau 2-0 at home, but there was still a 6-point gap with Gosho.
After playing the game against Nashatel, Lin Fenglei led the team back to Gosau to rest for a few days, and then came to Monaco on August 27 to prepare for the European Super Cup.
Gosho's European Super Cup rival Juventus also came to Monaco under the leadership of their head coach Conte. Conte was full of confidence in the European Super Cup. He vowed that Juventus is now in its heyday and will definitely defeat Gosho in this game. A few years ago, Juventus lost to Gosho in the Champions League final.
Juventus have indeed been in the prime of Serie A in recent seasons. They have won three consecutive championships in Serie A, and have reached a Champions League final and won a Champions League. It is known as another golden age in Juventus' history, so it is normal for Conte to have such confidence.
In the face of Conte's remarks, Lin Fenglei also expressed his ambition to win the European Super Cup. He said that although Juventus is stronger than two seasons ago, the players of the Gosau team are also becoming more and more mature. Now is the heyday of the Gosau team, so the result of this game is compared with two years ago. There will be no change. The final winner will be Gosho, who will also win the three consecutive championships of the European Super Cup.
Of course, the European Super Cup is not as important as the Champions League, but the celebrities who come to Monaco to watch the Super Cup are no less than in the Champions League finals, and the head coaches of various European giants are even here, because after this Super Cup, there will be a group stage of the UEFA Champions League this season. The lottery ceremony, watching a European Super Cup game before the lottery ceremony, and learning about the recent situation of Gosau and Juventus on the spot, is the most natural thing.
On the evening of August 28, the 2015 European Super Cup officially began. CCTV broadcast the game. Duan Xuan is introducing the game to the audience in front of the TV: "Dear viewers, today we will broadcast this year's Europe. In the Continental Super Cup, the two sides are the champion of the UEFA Champions League last season, Switzerland's Gosau team, and the champion of the UEFA Europa League last season, Italy Juventus.
The two teams are the second match in history. Their first match was in the Champions League final two years ago. Coincidentally, the two matches between the two teams were in this kind of final. In the last time the two teams played against each other, the final winner was the Gosho team. In today's fight, can Juventus win back a city?
"These two teams have been in excellent condition in recent seasons. Juventus have won three consecutive championships in Serie A and won last season's UEFA Europa League. However, Gosho's results are even better. They have won four consecutive championships in the Swiss Super League and three consecutive championships in the Champions League. If they can win today's game, they will also win three consecutive championships in the European Super Cup.
"Now that the players from both sides have entered the court, and the game is about to start. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides in today's game. Juventus' starting lineup is goalkeeper Fiorino, three defenders from left to right are Sanchez, Chiellini and Bonucci, five midfielders are Vidal, Pirlo, Bogba, Lichsteiner and Giovinko, and two strikers are Tevis and Vuzinic.
The starting lineup of Gosho is goalkeeper Checarelli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Gugelman, centre-back is Salihovic and Chevally, left winger Avanzini, right winger Holensten, double midfielder is Antunović and Ivanovic, and the striker is a combination of Egman and Codinho. This lineup is also the most common lineup used by Coach Lin Fenglei.
"With the whistle of the referee on duty, Spanish Escribano, the European Super Cup officially began. In the first half, Gosho was the first to kick off, and they would attack from right to left in the first half.
Before the game, Juventus left-back Eve. Sanchez went to the bench of the Gosho team, hugged Lin Fenglei, and thanked him for his training. Then he hugged the players and coaches of the Gosho team one by one before returning to the court to prepare for the game.
At the beginning, Sanchez could only enter the rotation lineup because his ability was not comprehensive enough in Gosho. However, his good defensive feature is that Juventus, a team that pays great attention to defense, is like a fish in water. He can play two positions: left-back and left-back. Whether Juventus plays three-back or four-back tactics, he is very It's appropriate. Therefore, he firmly occupies a main position in Juventus. His performance in these two seasons is also very good, becoming a first-tier star on the Serie A defense.
Although Sanchez could not play the main force in the Goshao team in those years, he also had many opportunities to play in the Goshao team. Lin Fenglei's training and guidance to him had never been private. Therefore, he would always remember Lin Fenglei's kindness, which also made Lin Fenglei very gratified.
After the start of the game, Juventus played a habitual steady counterattack tactic. The midfielders they sent, except for Pirlo and Giovinko, were all those players with fierce defense and strong players, and did not invest much force in the front-court attack; while Gosho's tactics A little more active, but they also set up double backs today, which proves that they also attach great importance to defense. The tactics of both sides made everyone a little worried. Will today's game be a dull game?
However, the progress of the game proves that people's worries are superfluous. At the beginning of the game, wonderful scenes emerge one after another.
After the opening, Gosho's first attack created a killing opportunity. After passing the ball to Kodinho, Egman ran to the Juventus's penalty area. Kodinho passed back to Ivanovic. At this time, several midfielders of Juventus began to rush. Ivanovic knocked the ball back to Salihovic. After several times, Ivanovic got rid of Giovinko's force. Grab it, and then a straight pass was sent.
Kodinho used a header in the front court to ferry Ivanovic's pass to Hollensten, who was inserted at high speed from the right side. Hollensten took the opportunity to break through Lichsteiner's defense. Before Sanchez made up for the defense, he made a cross. The ball drew an arc and flew to the back point. Egman grabbed the header. At the goal, the ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal. Unfortunately, under the interference of Chiellini, the ball was a little weak. It was raised by Juventus goalkeeper Fiolino and held the ball out of the crossbar with one palm.
At this time, less than a minute before the start of the game, some Juventus fans have not found their place in the stands. Egman's header made all the Juventus fans feel relieved. If the Gosho team scored so quickly, then Juventus will have to push out and attack, which will It is a very embarrassing situation, and the tactical deployment of Juventus coach Conte will also be completely overturned.
Chiellini ran back to the goal and pulled up Fiolino on the ground. Fiolino was a 25-year-old goalkeeper who bought Juventus to replace Buffon from Sampdoria after Buffon's retirement last season. His Tong Buffon can't be compared, but he also showed an excellent goalkeeper. His potential, especially his reaction is very fast, reaching a full value of 20 in FM, and this save just now reflects his characteristics.
Gosau got a corner kick. After Ribeiro opened the corner, Salihovic grabbed a header and scored the goal. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. The ball hit the right post of the goal heavily, and then popped up the bottom line. Goshao missed a goal opportunity again, and the Juventus fans in the audience took another blow. Cool air.
Although Juventus' goal was in distress twice in less than two minutes, Juventus coach Conte is not very worried, because this is the characteristic of the Italian team. Sometimes their opponents who are not strong look extremely embarrassed on the scene and seem to be available at any time. They can lose the ball, but their goal can always remain intact in the wind and rain, and they can often break through the opponent's goal by counterattacking, so it is often the Italian team that laughs to the end.
