Chapter 38 Enter the group stage

Back to Switzerland, Lin Fenglei received a phone call from Christine. It turned out that Christine congratulated him on setting another record. Lin Fenglei still felt very strange. It seemed that he didn't remember any record set. Christine said that Goshaw remained unbeaten in the eight official games since the beginning of this season, so he played It broke the record of unbeaten in seven games set last season from November 7, 2010 to February 5, 2011. Only then did Lin Fenglei understand, but he didn't care about this record. If he wanted to break the record, he would break the last round of the game, because in the last official game of last season, Gosho also won the final of the Swiss Cup. This record can only be regarded as an unbeaten record in a single season, but if you want to count the challenge group league, 8 games will not That's enough. He remembers that in the season of the Super League, he seemed to be unbeaten for more than a dozen rounds in a row. Of course, the record of the challenge group league is not very interesting.

Lin Fenglei thanked Christine, but he said proudly that this record was nothing, and Christine would soon see the birth of a new record. Christine also said with a smile that he was confident to see Gosho create one record after another.

Three days after returning from Prague, Gosau played against Lucerne at home in the league. Lin Fenglei once again sent a large number of substitutes, but Lucerne still could not resist Gosau's offensive. With the goals of Kadinjo, Ribeiro, Ivanovic and Egman in the second half, they won 4:1. Lucerne team, among which Ribeiro's free kick from the right side of the front of the penalty area was 30 meters away from the goal. The free kick he sent out with his left foot was excellent in speed, strength and angle, hanging straight to the upper right corner of the goal with a strong rotation. The Lucerne goalkeeper, who was blocked by a wall, did not respond.

On August 25, Salikhovic returned from injury and finally sent all the main Gosho to a 3-0 victory over the visiting Slavia Prague at home. Captain Avanzini scored two goals for the team. Kadingho was the icing on the cake. Goshao successfully entered the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

In the game that ended on the same day, Basel and Nishatel both defeated their opponents and entered the group stage of the League Cup. The young team lost in the Champions Cup qualifying play-offs, but won in the qualifying stage of the League Cup, and also entered the group stage of the League Cup. In this way, they entered the group stage of the League Cup. The number of Swiss teams has reached four, plus Zurich, which has entered the group stage of the Champions League. The number of teams that have entered the group stage in this season's European events has reached an unprecedented five, which makes all the Swiss media hail the prosperity of Swiss football.

In the subsequent draw ceremony of the group stage of the UEFA Cup, the group that Gosho was divided into was not very good. They were divided into Group G together with Parma, Schalke 04 and Valladolide. The fame and background of these three opponents far exceeded that of Gosho. Look at Basel's opponents, Eindhoven, Kazan Ruby, De Bresson, these opponents should be better than their own opponents, but looking at other European giants such as Manchester United, AC Milan, Porto, Atletico Madrid, etc., Lin Fenglei can only be satisfied.

Because there is not much buffer period in the group stage of the League Cup, the game will start on September 15, so Lin Fenglei must now consider rotating. Fortunately, there are many people who can play in Gosho now, and the substitute players also have a lot of opportunities to play this season. In addition, many young players are training and In the game, they were carefully guided by Kabanas, Kufre and Meyer. They improved quickly and should be enough to cope with the Swiss domestic league.

On August 28, Gosau challenged the young team away from home in the league. Because both teams had a life-and-death battle about the right to qualify for the UEFA Cup three days ago, the main and substitutes were sent together in this game. The state of the two teams in the game. It didn't look very good. In the end, after 90 minutes of boring battle, the two sides exchanged blank papers with 0:0.

After this game is the national team game day. Now, except for Christen, who is a Liechtenstein international player and Kabanas is a Swiss national player, other players have not been selected for the national team. Kuman Ray has also not been selected for the Argentine national team because of his age. Of course, this is a pity for the players, but now It is a good thing for Lin Fenglei, because his players have received nearly two weeks of precious rest time. Of course, if a player can be selected into the national team, it is also a good thing, which means that Gosho's influence has expanded again. However, the Swiss Super League has not received enough attention, and those national team head coaches have not noticed Gosho for the time being.

On September 10, Gosau continued to challenge the defending champion Zurich away from home in the league. Because the two teams are going to play in Europe in the middle of the week, the game was brought forward to Saturday, so that the two teams can get one more day off. Of course, the two teams are welcome to this humanized measure of the Swiss Football Association.

Lin Fenglei sent a large number of substitutes in this game. Zurich did not get a break this week because there were more Swiss internationals in the team. In addition, they had to play a group match of the Champions League on the 14th, so they also sent a lot of substitutes. The young players of Gosau who had been recuperating for two weeks broke out in this game, and they beat the substitutes of Zurich.

In the 28th minute, after Mayer took the ball from the backcourt, he handed the ball to Ribero, who returned to the left-back position in this game. Ribero took the ball to the front court and handed the ball to the captain Avanzini. Avanzini cheated the opponent's right-back with a fake action to cut to the arc of the penalty area and made a decisive long shot. Unfortunately, he hit a little. A little positive, he was pounced on by the goalkeeper of Zurich, but because of the great power of the shot, the goalkeeper of Zurich did not get the ball directly. The ball fell into the small penalty area. Esposito appeared at the landing point of the ball and pushed the ball into the empty goal. Gosho led Zurich 1-0 away.

After losing the ball, Zurich still didn't seem excited. Although they also launched some counterattacks in the roar of Charlanders, they were decoated by the Gosho team one by one, and their own goal was pierced again in the 42nd minute. Ivanovic cut off a casual pass in the opponent's midfield in the front court. Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, he directly passed the ball to the gap in the opponent's ribs. Christen, who had been swimming on the right, suddenly started and ran behind the whole back defense line in Zurich and received the ball. Then he went straight in and shot the ball into the goal from the armpit of the opponent's goalkeeper who fell to save. After scoring the goal, Christen looked very excited. The 25-year-old Liechtenstein international was the main force of Gosau in his first season. Later, he was slowly robbed of the main position by the young winger Horensten, who grew up quickly, but he was not discouraged. He has been training hard to maintain his state and strive to He showed his ability in the limited game time and moved the head coach Lin Fenglei. Lin Fenglei also applauded Christen on the sidelines, but he was also very sorry that Christen was a little older, otherwise he could get the treatment of his potential to modify. But now, no matter how hard Christen tries, I'm afraid he can only accept the fate of the substitute. If he is not willing to be a substitute, he can only transfer him.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Ivanovic once again sent a scalpel-like straight plug in the position. This time, his pass found Kadinho in the penalty area. Kaodinho easily pushed the far corner without defense, expanding the score to Gosho. 3:0, which also sealed the victory for the team. After that, Lin Fenglei replaced the three main players, Kabanas, Kufre and Lima, and played the control ball, which also kept them on the court. Although Charlandes made a substitution adjustment, under Gosho's control of the ball, their attack did not get well, and Gosho did not want to expand the results. In the end of the game, the score was 3:0, and Gosho successfully defeated the defending champion away.

At the post-match press conference, Charles Landes once again praised Lin Fenglei's coaching ability and the excellence of Gosau's young players. He said that Gosau team is already a pivotal force in Swiss football and can participate in the competition for the championship. He also wished Gosho a good result in the UEFA Cup.

Lin Fenglei also responded politely that Charlanders is his predecessor, and he still has a lot to learn from Charlanders. He also wished Zurich a good result in the Champions League. This is indeed his heart. Charles Landers, an old man of nearly 60 years old, has been coaching the Zurich team for five seasons. He not only has excellent coaching ability, but also leads the Zurich team to achieve a lot of good results, but also is kind. He likes to help his younger generation. His character is well-known. Lin Fenglei really respects this old man very much.

After this victory, Gosau team achieved an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 4 draws in the ten rounds of the league, ranking second behind St. Garren, who was 7 wins and 3 draws, and the third was Sion. They were eliminated early in the UEFA Cup qualifiers, but this made them focus all their attention on the league, so the results Not bad. Basel, Young people and Zurich are only ranked in the middle, but what is surprising is that the two teams in the relegation circle are the Grasswt and Lucerne, especially the Grasswt. After their new coach Geiger took office, he went backwards and ruled out dissidents, making the team's hearts disheart and unwinnable. Now it is ten rounds. With only 9 points, the ranking is at the bottom, which makes people can't help but sigh for this former strongman.

Of course, Lin Fenglei has no time to pay attention to what happened to the Grasswzards. He has to prepare for the first round of the group stage of the UEFA Cup away game against Parma.
