Chapter 19 Antu's premiere
On February 5, Gosho's first game in the second half of the season was at home against Neuchateel. Antunović made a perfect debut. Not only did he perform well in defense, but also scored a penalty kick, helping the team beat the opponent 2-0. Gosho had a chance to expand his fate, but captain Avanzini lost another penalty. A penalty kick.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Lin Fenglei, "What do you think of Antunović's performance?"
Lin Fenglei nodded with a smile: "I'm very satisfied!"
"Antunović is still very young, just 17 years old, and he is a newcomer to the team, but you let him play the main force in the first game. Are you dissatisfied with Bigny's performance?"
Lin Fenglei secretly hated these reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but he still replied with a smile: "Bigny's performance in the first half of the season was also very good. There were no big loopholes in defense, and he also did a good job in combing the midfield. However, Gosho only had a full-time midfielder. He played a lot of games in the past two seasons, too Tired. Now that Antunović is here, Bigny is also very happy to have such an excellent teammate to share his work. The main position of this game is what he is willing to give up. I will also let the two players take turns to play according to the status of the players in the future.
Another reporter asked, "Gosho's current performance is very good. Now he has 29 points and ranks fourth in the scoreboard. Does Mr. Lin have greater ambition to make Gosho go further?"
Lin Fenglei thought for a moment and replied, "Gosho's goal this season has never changed, that is, to relegation and train young players."
A reporter laughed and said, "Last season, you also said that you aimed at relegation, but in the last few rounds, Gosau worked hard in the future, and later came to the top and won the Challenger League in one fell swoop. Don't you think the current situation is very similar to last season?
Lin Fenglei hates you very much. He is similar to you. Don't you have to let me make enemies? Now Lin Fenglei just wants to keep a low profile and achieve successful relegation comfortably. At the same time, let the young people in the team get the greatest degree of exercise. If it attracts the vigilance of several strong teams, it will not be fun. Thinking of this, he replied, "The situation is indeed very similar, but do you think the Challenger League and the Super League are the same? There are many strong teams in the Super League. They all have a long history and a glorious past. Gosho is just a newcomers to the Super League. We need to maintain respect for our predecessors. I don't think Gosho has the ability to challenge their status in the league now. Gosho's real results came after a few seasons, when the outstanding young people in our team grew up.
After this press conference, Lin Fenglei was a little vigilant. Is it that Goshao has been too high-profile recently? It seems that sometimes it is better to show weakness and keep a low profile. Now Goshao can only "accumulate a wide range of grain, build a wall high, and slowly be the king".
There is no need for Gosho to keep a low profile. In the next two games, Gosho suffered two 1:2 consecutive defeats, but Lin Fenglei did not care about these two defeats, because these two games are two consecutive away games, the opponents are Zurich and Basel. It is acceptable to encounter two minor defeats away from home, and it is behind Gosho. Several teams performed mediocrely, so Gosau still ranked fifth in the standings.
However, Lin Fenglei must not allow defeat in the next home game against Lucerne, because Gosho's home results have always been very good, and he has not fallen behind against any team, and since Lin Fenglei took over Gosho, he has never suffered a three-game losing streak. This time, Lin Fenglei has also decided. Gosho is not allowed to break this record.
Sunday, February 27 is a sunny day. The winter sun shines on people. The game began at 4 p.m., and on the way to the court, Gosho's bus met Paul and others again. Lin Fenglei rolled down the window to greet them. Paul waved their hands and smiled and said, "Today we are out of the whole town again. You must turn over your opponents."
Lin Fenglei and the players replied with a smile, "We will definitely do it."
Lin Fenglei was very happy. As Goshao's performance became better and better, his playing style was also very modern and ornamental. Now there are more and more fans in Goshao, and the home atmosphere of Goshao is getting better and better, and the field is full. Even now it is not only the locals in the town of Goshao, but also the ball in several nearby small cities. Fans also often come to Gosau to watch football. Anyway, public transportation in Switzerland is very developed, and there are many middle class people in Switzerland who can afford cars. There are not many professional teams in the northeastern part of Switzerland where the town of Gosau is located. In addition to Gosau, there is only one Saint-Galen and Ville, a semi-professional team. Therefore, as long as the Gosho team has good results and plays well, many neutral fans will be won. Lin Fenglei is now only worried that Gosho's home court is too small to accommodate so many fans, but it is not a matter of overnight to expand the stadium. Now it will take at least a few years for Gosho's family.
At 4 o'clock sharp, the game began. With the support of 3,000 fans at home, the Gosho team launched a fierce attack on Lucerne at the beginning. Under Gosho's wave after wave of offensive, Lucerne's city only lasted for 20 minutes and was lost. The bottom pass of Hollensten on the right side was blocked by Lucerne's defender Beto. Gosho's corner kick, several tall defenders such as Zancanaro, Salihovic and Antunović came forward to compete for the top. In addition, Egman and Kaudinho, five big men who were tall than 1.9 meters stood in the penalty area, Luce Well, the defensive players suddenly felt that it was dark. The deterrent power of so many big men in the positioning ball is not a joke. Although there are also two big men in Lucerne's guard, there are still a little bit of care about watching so many people. Sure enough, after Avanzini made a corner kick, Zancanaro grabbed the front point and easily headed the ball to the goal without being stared. There was a huge cheer in the stands.
This goal made Lucerne feel a little powerless. After two minutes, the Gosho team got another chance to kick the corner. The team of Lucerne was still a little scared about the last corner kick, and sent someone to pester the big men of each Gosho team. However, it was a crime for Diarra, the Malian defender who was watching against Egman, turn pale when Egman rushed to grab the point. It was a crime to let him, a small body of 1.84 meters, stare at Egman, a man of 1.92 meters. Egman's power was simply inhuman. He couldn't pull it. In desperation, he used enough strength to breastfeed. With an angry pull, Egman fell down, and even his jersey was torn to pieces. Of course, the referee would not let go of such an obvious foul. With a sharp whistle, the referee quickly ran to the scene of the accident, pointed his finger to the penalty point, and at the same time issued a topaz card to Diarra. Antunović stood at the penalty spot. After the referee whistled, he calmly made it overnight and expanded the score for Gosho.
In the 30th minute of the second half, Diarra made another big mistake. He once again pulled down Egman in the penalty area in a free kick defense, and also tore Egman's new jersey into pieces again. Lin Fenglei laughed and scolded, "Why does this guy like to tear clothes so much? Well, if you want to tear it, don't tear the clothes of a strong man like Egman. It's good to tear the little girl's clothes. Don't you know that our jerseys are expensive? The bench of the Gosho team laughed together. Later, people often made fun of Egman about this, asked him why Diarra liked to tear his clothes so much, and often talked about Egman until he was so angry.
The referee unexpectedly awarded a penalty again, and also awarded the second topaz God of War card to Diarra, and the two topaz God of War cards automatically synthesized a Ruby God of War card. Before the referee could take out the second Gem God of War card, Diarra covered his face and got off the field in the boos of the fans. When he passed by their coach's bench and walked to the locker room, Lucerne's blue-faced head coach Flinger didn't even look at him. This game is undoubtedly a nightmare for Diarra.
Antunović scored a penalty calmly again. At the age of 17, he has shown maturity and calmness beyond his age, which made Lin Fenglei say in his heart that he had made a good deal.
In the end, Gosho beat Lucerne 3-0 at home, solidifying his fifth place. But after this game, Lin Fenglei found a new problem. Some fans told him that in these games, they often found scout-like people watching the ball in the stands and shooting the game with DV cameras. Lin Fenglei knew that the outstanding young people in the team had been stared by the big club. During the winter break, some media had made some rumors that which person in the Gosho team was hit by which rich family. Although no club has made substantial offers to Gosau's players throughout the winter break, Lin Fenglei knows that there may be no reason for the wind. And it will be a matter of time before so many young and good seedlings in the Gosho team will be targeted by the rich family.
Lin Fenglei is not very worried about the diggers of the big club. After all, he is in charge of everything about the team in the club now. At that time, no matter how high the price is offered by other clubs, it is enough for him not to agree. What you have to worry about is the player's own will. At that time, they have to leave, and it will be quite troublesome to quarrel with the club. After all, everyone wants to go to a rich family, and it's not sweet. However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely that such a thing would happen, because now the young people in the team were discovered and cultivated by themselves. They have a high impression of themselves, and even some people are grateful to the point of worshiping themselves, and Gosho's momentum is also very good. As long as they don't leave, Gosho After that, they can play a game that matches their strength and give them enough salary, and they are unlikely to want to leave. Thinking about it this way, in case of an accident, Lin Fenglei still asked Kaquetas. Kaquetas said firmly, "At present, no young player has been found to be emotionally unstable. They are all full of hope for their future in the team and have good morale." Hearing what Kacetas said, Lin Fenglei was relieved.
