Chapter 736 He is back!
There are 22 teams in the Spanish Second Division, three of which are promoted to La Liga and four are relegated to the competition.
After the Champions League final, the four major European leagues were basically out of business, but this season's Spanish Second League ushered in a fierce battle for the First Division, when the four relegated teams lost their suspense early.
After thirty-eight rounds of battles, Salez ranked first.
This team that performed well this season has almost secured a place to advance to the top of the league, ranking as the leader in the standings with a six-point lead.
But from Zarez, Tenerife scored 69 points, Zaragoza scored 68 points, Hercules scored 67 points, Chinatown scored 66 points, and Vallecano with 65 points.
In addition to Salez, who basically locked in an upgraded place in advance, the five teams wanted to seize the remaining two places to advance to the League, and each team had only one point in the league points gap. Such a fierce League battle shocked the entire Spain.
Especially among these five teams, there are the most legendary and eye-catching Chinatown team.
Pochettino's team can be said to be one of the best teams since the winter break. The league rankings have also been rising all the way, from the middle and lower reaches, and now ranks fifth in the standings, only one step away from moving to the top.
More importantly, this team is one of the youngest teams in the Spanish Second Division this season, only a little higher than Sevilla Second Team, and the latter only scored 16 points in thirty-eight rounds and was sentenced to death early.
Colombia center Falcao also ranked first in the Serie A scorer list with 27 league goals, making Chinatown the team with the strongest offensive firepower this season.
But in the 39th round, Chinatown faced the biggest challenge of the season, Salez.
Everyone still remembers clearly that in the first game in 2009, Chinatown reversed Zarez three-to-one away game, and then the clarion call for the soaring results in the second half.
Now, it is only one step away from the escalator. At the critical moment, welcoming Zarez at home is undoubtedly another test for the team. Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on this game tonight.
After a round of transformation, the Aldevilla Stadium of Chinatown can accommodate 5,000 fans. This highlight also made the entire stadium full. Countless fans rushed into the small stadium on the border of Fuen Lavrada from all directions, waiting nervously and nervously for the start of the game.
The players of the two teams walked out of the player channel and entered the stadium under the leadership of the referee. A burst of warm applause sounded, and the fans of Chinatown were warmly welcomed the players into the stadium.
But just as the fans' applause fell and everyone's attention was on the two teams of players lined up in the stadium, a warm cheer suddenly broke out in the stands of the chairman.
The cheers spread rapidly like a tide, sweeping across the entire court.
The reporters in the corner media area were surprised by this, especially when they saw the fans standing up from their seats, but their eyes were not on the court, but on the core area in the middle of the chairman's stands, and they felt even more strange.
Could it be that some big shot came?
At this moment, the stadium broadcast came the exclamation of the commentator.
"All Chinatown fans, hurry up and see who is coming!"
The audience exclaimed, followed by five thousand fans calling Gao Han in unison.
"That's right, fans, it's our Gao Han who is back!"
"He's back before this crucial final battle!"
"He returned to our Aldevilla Stadium with the glory of the Champions League champions. He will bring us confidence, strength, and honor to us and help us defeat all powerful enemies!"
The atmosphere in the audience suddenly reached the highest point, and all the fans shouted wildly.
The media reporters on the scene were shocked. None of them would have thought that Gao Han would suddenly appear before this game.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that he will definitely come back to cheer for the team.
It’s just that the fans on the scene are blessed.
Due to the restrictions on the venue, Aldevilla Stadium has no way to arrange live broadcasts, so it has never been broadcast live.
In other words, only fans who come to the scene can see Gao Han appear.
The media reporters at the scene also took photos in Gao Han's direction frantically, and together with the club general manager Armando Marcos, technical director Carlos Cantalero, and the famous European gold medal agent Jorge Mendes, all of them were taken into the camera.
Gao Han had never expected that his appearance would cause such a huge response.
There are 5,000 fans here, and the momentum created by the crazy shouting is really terrifying.
But he still walked to the core area of the chairman's stands, but did not sit down, but stood on the guardrail and shouted hard to the team below the stands, "Come on, Chinatown!"
Hearing Gao Han's shouting over and over again, the fans in the audience also shouted in unison.
When the fans in the stadium saw it, they all raised their hands and applauded, as if they were telling Gao Han in this way. They all saw it and heard it.
"Give all your strength, you are the best!" Gao Han raised his hands above his head, clenched his fists, and then raised his thumbs.
Pochettino, in front of the home team coach's seat, also raised his hand to Gao Han, expressing his support.
…………
…………
The competition has begun.
In this game, Chinatown team lined up to form 433.
The goalkeeper is the well-deserved De Gea, and the defense is a combination of Alba, Devry, Aldevelde and Carvajal.
Midfielder Sanming players were Marcos Senna dragged behind, Schneiderlin and Ramirez were ahead.
The frontcourt tridents are Aubameyang, Falcao and Diego Costa.
This is also the best performance and the most stable main lineup for the team in the second half.
Gao Han is very optimistic about Hazard, who is only eighteen years old, can only be ranked as the team's substitute for the time being.
The opponent of another game, Salez, was ranked in the 451st formation.
Five midfielders were ranked, which obviously meant to suppress Chinatown's midfield pass control. As for the effect, it depends on the progress of the game.
The competition entered the fast-paced channel from the beginning.
Pochettino's style of play is very oppressive and aggressive, and Zarez seems to be determined to avenge the home court half a year ago. That is their only home defeat this season, so both sides played fiercely and the scene is a bit chaotic.
Gao Han coached the Spanish Second Division and knew very well that low-level leagues often use aggressive play, which is easier to get results than to use pass-and-controlled play, so it is indeed not easy for Pochettino to stick to the pass-and-controlled play in this environment.
Even if he really failed to advance to La Liga this season, Gao Han decided to keep him at his post.
The game went very smoothly, and the players on the court worked very hard. Although they could not organize smooth passes, they did not lose the advantage in the competition with Salez.
Even in the 17th minute of the game, after Ramirez intercepted the ball in the middle, Marcos Senna stabbed Schneiderlin, who passed the ball directly, tore through Salez's defense line. Aubameyang quickly launched a counterattack and passed it to the front of the goal. Falcao easily pushed the ball and scored the first record for Chinatown.
This goal completely ignited the atmosphere of Aldevilla Stadium.
This is also Falcao's 28th goal this season!
Gao Han also stood up happily and applauded and cheered the team.
"It's just to play like this, be patient and keep the formation compact. When the opponent's physical energy is almost exhausted, or he reveals his flaws, it is an excellent time for us to counterattack." Gao Han agreed with Pochettino's game strategy very much.
It's a bit like he played Manchester United in the Champions League final, avoiding his edge.
After Salez conceded a goal first, he seemed to be angry. He was very moved on the field, and the referee also blew whistles frequently and warned many times.
But in the 28th minute, Ramirez collided with the opponent's defender Mendoza. The latter's foul seemed to annoy Ramirez. The Brazilian midfielder pushed Mendoza heavily as soon as he came up, and Mendoza fell to the ground and could not afford to get up.
The referee quickly approached and showed a red card directly towards Ramirez, but also gave Mendoza a yellow card.
There were boos everywhere in the stands, and captain Marcos Senna also ran over to negotiate with the referee at the first time, but could not stop Ramirez from being kicked out of the field by a red card.
"It's really not calm enough to kill people." Gao Han sighed.
The situation was originally very good, but now it has changed because of a red card, so the next game may not be easy to play.
"Yes, pushing people to retaliate under the referee's nose, isn't this asking for death?" Cantalero was also very depressed.
After Pochettino sent Ramirez away, he quickly walked to the sidelines to adjust and signaled Diego Costa and Aubameyang to retreat. The team changed into a 441 formation, leaving Falcao in front to counterattack.
Salez has one more person than Chinatown, and naturally plans to take advantage of the number of players, and even repeatedly adopts foul actions.
The referee in this game was quite neutral in law enforcement. He quickly showed a yellow card to Salez's midfielder Momo and severely warned Salez's players, which made the latter restrain a little.
But Chinatown is young and has one less person on the field than its opponent, which makes the scene more passive.
In the 41st minute of the first half, Salez got a corner kick opportunity. Although Aldevelde grabbed the first landing point and cleared the ball, Salez quickly seized the defensive vacuum at the front of the penalty area on the outside, scored a long shot, and successfully tied the score.
Then, Salez organized two more threatening attacks, but De Gea performed well, allowing Chinatown to ensure the goal was not lost. Both sides finally entered the halftime break with a one-to-one score.
But judging from the last ten minutes of the game, Chinatown is indeed very dangerous.
"There is another second half, how to play?" Armando Marcos said with a little pessimistic view.
Zarez's strength is unquestionable, otherwise he would not be able to lead the Spanish Second Division with a six-point lead.
What's more, Chinatown is one less person than its opponent now, how can we play in this game?
Cantalero also seemed a little disappointed. At least, Ramirez's red card was unnecessary. The result is now that the opponent equalized, and Zarez has another person, so the game is not easy to play.
Especially judging from the performance in the last stage of the first half, Chinatown team has obviously been shaken, and at this time, one person is needed to boost the team's morale.
"Or why don't you go to the locker room?" Cantalero suggested.
Armando Marcos also thinks this is great.
They all know how noble Gao Han’s position in the team and in the minds of players and fans. As long as Gao Han goes, he doesn’t need to intervene. As long as he encourages the players, there will definitely be a chance in the second half.
Otherwise, can Pochettino be alone?
Chapter completed!
