Chapter 15 Bet
On July 18, the first round of the 2010-2011 season of the Swiss Super League started as scheduled. Gosau challenged NeuchatelXamax, a middle and lower reaches of the Swiss Super League. This not strong opponent gave Gosau an ambitious young day. The talent was in the first place. After the start of the game, Nashatel's fierce rush and the game rhythm, which was obviously faster than the Challengers League, made the Gosho team very uncomfortable. After only 52 minutes, the score on the big screen of the stadium became 3-0. According to international practice, the home team was in the front.
After conceding three goals in a row, the Gosho team broke out. In the 56th minute, Bigny cut the ball in the midfield and immediately assigned it to the right winger Christen. The loss of the ball in the midfield made the home team's defense a little chaotic. Christen took the opportunity to take the ball to the opponent's ribs, and then made a diagonal pass and gave the ball to Lima, which was inserted in the middle. Lima had no flowers. The whistle action, the non-stop ball pushed directly into the lower left corner of the goal. After only two minutes, the Gosho team made a comeback. This time, Christen took the ball to the front court on the right side, and then handed the ball to Kaudingho outside the penalty area. Kaudingho passed a diagonal pass that was the same as Christen's assist, and Egman understood. The ground was inserted in time, and the ball went straight into the dead corner. After that, the Goshao team turned against the away team and pressed the opponent to attack fiercely. Lin Fenglei also made several substitution adjustments. Unfortunately, due to the opponent's withdrawal and his bad luck, the Gosho team could no longer score a goal and lost by 2:3.
Nashatel defeated the promoted horse awkwardly at home. This sentence objectively described the situation and became the headline of the media post-match report. Although Goshao lost, the media still praised this promoted horse. They are completely different from the promoted horses in previous years. Their high tide-like full attack and full defense play is very ornamental and brave. They have brought a fresh air to the Swiss Super League. Christine, a reporter from Gosau, asserted that this season's Gosho will surprise everyone under the leadership of magical coach Lin Fenglei. Some people, such as Wagner, want to refute, but Lin Fenglei's magical performance last season made them have scruples, especially Wagner. Because he repeatedly played against Lin Fenglei, he became the laughing stock of everyone. His original newspaper also fired him. He finally found a new job and no longer dared to talk nonsense, so he had to wait and see. Attitude, I hope Lin Fenglei will be unlucky, and then come to laugh at him and let out a bad breath.
Lin Fenglei put down a few newspapers in his office, and a smile appeared on his face. Yes, this is the effect he wants to achieve. Although Goshao's results last season were good, it was achieved by the solid defense line in the Challengers League. He didn't score many goals. He only scored 37 goals in 30 league games, so the game scene often looked very dull. Although the lack of goals is related to the immaturity of offensive players, the main reason is that their tactics are more defensive. This kind of tactics can't be said to be bad, but it is difficult to attract fans, especially neutral fans. This season, when it comes to the Swiss Super League, even if the defense line is not stable, it is impossible to lose as few balls as last season. At the same time, the front-court combination he focused on is gradually maturing, so he decided to focus on offensive tactics this season to improve the enjoyment of the game and get more attention. To attract more fans. Now it seems that his approach has achieved some results.
On July 21, Gosho played against the traditional strongman Zurich team of the Swiss Super League at home. Before this game, almost everyone was not optimistic about Gosho's victory, but they unexpectedly overturned their opponents 2-1 with the support of 3,000 fans at home. In the first 29 seconds of the game, the chaotic army * ball in the penalty area swept into the goal of Zurich, and then the two teams started to attack. Zurich once equalized the fate in the 61st minute, but in the 73rd minute, it was Codingho's long-range shot from 25 meters away to lock the victory. Then both sides had some opportunities, but they didn't seize them.
Before the game, the media collectively bad-mouthed Gosho. After the game, they collectively sang a hymn to Gosho, but these did not affect Lin Fenglei's mood. The media didn't care what he said, as long as Goshao could attract attention. And he found that one point in the Swiss Super League could be exchanged for 10 FM gold coins, and the income of gold coins increased. Of course, he was happy.
In the third round of the league on July 25, Gosau still played against another strong Swiss team, Hauser at home. In the 18th minute, captain Avanzini scored a penalty created by Egman, and then Gosau still did not fall behind in the attack. The Basel team, which was forced to a dead end, only relied on Argentina in the 92nd minute. The striker Almerares grabbed a header in the penalty area before retreating, avoiding the embarrassment of the Zurich team in the last round.
After three rounds of the league, Gosho scored 4 points in one win, one draw and one loss, and this result was achieved in a row against the Swiss giants. The most important thing is that their game scenes are very beautiful. In the face of strong enemies, they still have exchanges and do not fall behind at all, which makes the media regard Gosho as a dark horse.
The characteristics of young players prone to ups and downs were vividly reflected in Gosho's away game against Lucerne a week later. In this game, Gosho's team fell into a downturn and lost 0:2 without temper. After the game, Lin Fenglei lost his temper in the locker room: "It's not that I can't accept failure, but I can't accept the lifeless failure."
However, it seems that Lin Fenglei's anger did not wake up the players this time. On August 8, Gosho drew with Sion 1-1 at home, but Sion seems to be more qualified to be the winner. Lin Fenglei did not get angry this time. He knew that it was not a good way to blindly blame the players. Just stimulate the players appropriately. And although the young players have big ups and downs, they also have one advantage, that is, they will not give up. From their eyes, Lin Fenglei has seen anger.
In the next two games, Gosho continued to challenge the other two giants of the Swiss Super League away from home. The last Swiss Super League champion Grasswt and the regular youth team in the European arena did not have an unexpected two consecutive defeats, but after these two games, Lin Fenglei praised the players. There is still a clear gap between the strength of the Gosho team and the two strong teams. In the away game, Lin Fenglei was psychologically prepared to lose the big score, but the young players of the Gosho team resisted to the last minute, just losing the ball in the 80th and 71st minutes respectively, losing two 0:1, and they themselves There are still many scoring opportunities, but the ability to seize the opportunity is still lacking.
Although he was praised by Lin Fenglei, the media will not be polite to the Gosau team. They criticized the Gosau team's performance one after another, and Wagner jumped out again. He wrote in the newspaper that Gosau's good performance at the beginning of the game was just because the Super League team was not familiar with them and waited until they faded. When they went to the halo of the dark horse, they were met by the rotation of the Swiss super teams. Recently, they have been defeated in five rounds, and they only scored two points in five rounds. Unexpectedly, they fell into the relegation zone, which is where they should stay. This is the result of Lin Fenglei, a rookie coach who doesn't understand the rules of football. Gosho basically didn't do anything in the transfer market before the season. Does he think he can play the Swiss Super League by relying on the team of the Challenger League last season? It turns out that his ideas are too naive, and he is too contempt for the Swiss Super League and Swiss football. In the end, Wagner predicted that Gosho will be relegated this season. If the prediction fails, he is willing to become a fan of Gosho.
After reading this article, Lin Fenglei curled his lips. Gosho didn't want a fan like you. However, he thought about it and thought that this seemed to be a good opportunity to raise attention. He took out his mobile phone, dialed Christine's phone, and talked to him. The next day, Christine's article was published in the newspaper "Goshao People", which said that Gosau's head coach Lin Fenglei was willing to bet with Wagner that if Gosau was relegated this season, Lin Fenglei would resign as the head coach of the Gosau team and was on the front page of the New Zurich newspaper with the largest circulation in Switzerland. A seven-day apology letter to Wagner; if the Gosau team succeeds in relegation, then he doesn't want Wagner to resign. After all, it is not easy for him to have a job, and he still has a wife and children to raise. He just wants Wagner to write a seven-day letter of apology to Lin Fenglei and Gosho on the front page of the New Zurich News.
After this article was published, it aroused a strong response, and the media expressed concern about it. After all, the head coach of a team and a reporter bet that this is a new thing, and the bet is also novel and interesting.
The New Zurich newspaper quickly reacted. They expressed their honor for Lin Fenglei's selection of the New Zurich newspaper as the media to publish the apology letter, and said that they were willing to provide the page for free at that time, but they also rented the advertising space of the page where the seven-day apology letter was published at that time. It seems that New Zurich The advertising manager of the World Newspaper is quite economical.
has attracted so much attention that Wagner was a little embarrassed. He agreed to the bet in the newspaper, but he seemed a little helpless and not so confident.
Several Swiss gambling companies immediately said that they would accept the public's bet on Lin Fenglei and Wagner, but the upper limit of the bet is not high, which is a joke.
Looking at a pile of newspapers on the table, Lin Fenglei laughed. He was very satisfied that Gosho became the center of the topic. I believe that after this incident, Gosho's fame will increase significantly, and he will receive more and more attention.
