Chapter 548 Yoshikawa's Evaluation

Gao Yuan called Yoshikawa Hidetoshi.

"Brother Yoshikawa, stay safe!"

There was silence on the phone for a while.

Gao Yuan snickered, thinking of that time when Yoshikawa Hidetoshi was drunk, he was very drunk, and he looked completely different from his usual serious and proud image.

On the second day after being drunk, Yoshikawa sobered up and ran away without even saying hello. This is a very rude thing for the Japanese. It can be seen how much Yoshikawa's heart was hit. The fact that he did not commit suicide by caesarean section already shows that his heart is strong enough!
After a while, Yoshikawa Hidehito said, "Gaoyuan-kun, don't come here without any problems."

The voice was still trembling slightly.

This kid hasn't come out of that drunk incident yet!

Gao Yuan asked straight to the point: "Brother Yoshikawa, I called you to find out about the situation of the Salzburg Red Bull."

"Gao Yuanjun, I also wanted to remind you again. The Salzburg Red Bull is more difficult to deal with than when I introduced it to you before the season!"

"Oh? Really? Oh, why didn't you call me earlier?" Gao Yuan bared his teeth and asked meanly.

"I..." Yoshikawa Hidetoshi was speechless.

Gao Yuan's face was full of smiles, and he found it very fun to tease this serious Japanese with super self-esteem and a thick camouflage!
"Don't talk about these irrelevant things! Gao Yuan-jun, you have to cheer up and deal with the Salzburg Red Bull seriously! Although you are Chinese, participating in the Champions League represents the honor of the entire Asian football!" Yoshikawa Hideto roared angrily.

"Okay, okay, then tell me what I need to pay attention to!"

Gao Yuan was worried that if the teasing continued, Yoshikawa Hidetoshi with super self-esteem would explode on the spot.

"The Salzburg Red Bull's tactics are in the same line. Whether it is the previous coach Ross or the current Masch, they all play the German football routine, emphasizing discipline and execution. On the basis of solid defense, they emphasize the speed of counterattack.

But what you need to pay special attention to is the personal abilities of their players!This year they have introduced a few new players, all of whom are very capable, especially in the goalkeeper position, there is a Swedish kid, Cleninsen!He was possessed by the octopus Yaxin, high and low, all kinds of incredible saves!With him, the average number of goals conceded by the Salzburg Red Bull has dropped by 50% this season!The frontcourt players can be more assured and bold to invest in the offense. "

"It seems that brother Yoshikawa admires this young man very much!"

"An excellent goalkeeper can top half of the team, and Cleninson is a real genius! What's more frightening is that he is only 18 years old! Maybe there will be a goalkeeper among the winners of the Ballon d'Or in the future!"

"Is he that good?"

"Takato-kun, have you watched Inoue Takehiko's "SLAMDunk"?" Yoshikawa Hidehito asked suddenly.

"SLAMDunk" also has a more famous name "Slam Dunk" in China!As a young man, Gao Yuan certainly read this comic.

"To be honest with you, when I saw Cleninson, I was as shocked as Hanamichi Sakuragi when he saw Hiroshi Morishi for the first time! He is incomprehensible!"

Gao Yuan was really surprised this time!
Cleninson?The proud Yoshikawa Hidetoshi gave him such a high evaluation!

Gao Yuan noticed this guy when he was watching the video of the game.Especially his 156/187 CA/PA, just considering that he is only 18 years old and may not be mature in experience and stability, so he didn't pay special attention to it.But now that I have heard Yoshikawa Hidetoshi's evaluation, it seems that I should re-examine and focus on this kid!
After that, Gao Yuan asked Yoshikawa Hidehito about the technical and tactical details of the Salzburg Red Bull.

When it comes to football, Yoshikawa Hidehito is fully involved in it, knows everything, and provides Gao Yuan with a lot of detailed help and different perspectives.

Finally, Gao Yuan asked a macro question.

"Brother Yoshikawa, you and our two teams have played against each other. In your opinion, who is stronger?"

Yoshikawa Hidetoshi on the phone pondered again.

"To be honest, it's hard for me to come to a conclusion that the strength of your two teams is equal. If it was just after you played against you, I think your Maritimo is slightly on top; but after the Austrian Super Cup, my team was beaten 5:3 by the opponent, and I found that their strength has improved a lot! It's hard to say which of you is stronger!"

Gao Yuan pouted. "Didn't you also enter 3! It seems that Cleninsen, whom you admire so much, is not so powerful!"

"In that game, Cleninsen didn't play! Red Bull Salzburg used last season's main goalkeeper! So, I think Red Bull Salzburg may not have played us with all their strength! Therefore, it is difficult for me to give you an accurate judgment of their strength."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but gasped, he didn't use his full strength, and actually entered the No. 2 Aufsberg of the Austrian Super League 5!
It seems that I have to study the game video of the Salzburg Red Bull again!
······
Four days after a small away win over Porto, Maritimo played against Red Bull Salzburg at home.

Maritimo's Champions League home is actually not their usual home stadium Dos Barores.

Because the Dos Barores Stadium is too small, and the scale, capacity, and functional area settings do not meet the requirements of UEFA, Maritimo can only rent the Ray Aves Stadium, the home of the Portuguese national team, the rival in the same city.

For this reason, they were often ridiculed by Nationals fans.

"No matter what Maritimo's achievements are, they are only a poor team after all!"

"Nationals are not doing well, but at least we have a UEFA-approved stadium!"

"Only rent the home court? Do you want to rent the training base as well! We have advanced training facilities here!"

·····
For this reason, fans on both sides have been noisy and fighting on the website forum.

The outside world also realizes that Gao Yuan concentrated his financial resources to do big things. When the club's finances were not ample, he insisted on building a first-class new stadium with great foresight and good intentions.

The Ray Ives Stadium is also in Funchal, only a few blocks away from the Dos Barores Stadium, so it does not affect the enthusiasm of the fans to watch the game.

The Ray Ives Stadium originally could only accommodate 23000 people, but in order to pass UEFA's review, it was repaired and expanded, and 3000 temporary seats were added. Currently, it can accommodate 26000 people to watch the game.

But even so, it is still unable to meet the needs of the majority of fans to watch the game.

On the day of the game, there were fans outside the stadium who couldn't buy tickets.They were asking each other where they could get a ticket at a high price.

It is reported that in the hands of scalpers, the ticket price for this game has increased by 10 times, but it is still hard to find a ticket.

After all, this is the first Champions League home game for the Portuguese upstart Maritimo.It can be regarded as a report performance in front of the hometown elders!

Gao Yuan observed that the Salzburg Red Bull players are generally in good condition.

And the goalkeeper Cleninson, who made Hidehito Yoshikawa the most, was even more popular.

The opponent formed a 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: Cleminson

Linebacker: Albert Welch, Ulmer, Mario Christensen

Midfielder: Masano Okgawa
Forward: Sekou Koitadaka Hwang Hee-chan

Gao Yuan remains unchanged in response to all changes, and the lineup is still 4-5-1
Goalkeeper: Niu Gensheng
Defender: Densovan Junkusai Aguilar

Midfielder: Joao Zhou Yong Wang Zi J Robukovic

Forward: Dzeko

高远的考虑是，4—5—1阵型比4—3—3阵型在中场的厚度上要占优许多。既然吉川秀仁称两队的实力不相伯仲，那就先力拼中场，得中场者得天下嘛！
Of course, the game is played by people, and it is of little significance to talk about it on paper. The specific effect depends on the game.

With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!
