Chapter 51 Lyon
Lin Fenglei's remarks were published in the "Gosho People" newspaper the next day. He said that Gosho will not give up a game this year. They will fight for every championship, and now Gosho has this ability and determination. He said that he didn't know what the media were like to persuade Gosho to give up other games specializing in the league. Can't Gosau represent Swiss football in Europe? There is only one team left in Europe this season that is still fighting for the honor of Swiss football. Instead of cheering for Gosho, these media are dragging back. Are they still Swiss media?
After Lin Fenglei's remarks were reported in the newspaper, they aroused a great response. The pro-Gosho media have made comments in support of Lin Fenglei. Some pro-Zurich media also hope that Gosho will not give up other games and continue the third-line battle, so that Zurich will have the opportunity to overtake Gosho and win the league championship. They have also expressed their support. Gosho fought for the honor of Swiss football. After these remarks came out, the disruptive media suddenly lost their voice. They couldn't afford to carry such a big hat.
The Swiss Football Association also came out to express its support for Gosau. They said that they would provide the best convenience to Gosau in terms of schedule arrangements, so that they can continue to move forward for the honor of Swiss football. Lin Fenglei also expressed his gratitude to the Swiss Football Association for its actions.
On March 8, Gosau played away against Ligue 1 overlord Lyon. Due to the comments of all parties before the game and Gosau has now become Switzerland's only seedling in the European field, Switzerland has paid the most attention to this game, and Swiss National One also broadcast the game live again.
Ralph is introducing the lineup of the two sides to the audience in front of the TV: "The Lyon team has formed a formation of 4231 in this game. Their goalkeeper is No. 1 Loris, and the defenders from left to right are No. 3 Koloze Sac, No. 12 Ramot, No. 4 Lemeu, No. 2 Clek, two The back is No. 17 Makon and No. 28 Tulalan, the left winger is No. 13 Di Maria, the front waist is No. 8 Pianić, the right wing is No. 7 Abu de Sadki, and the striker is No. 18 Gomi. This is basically Lyon's main lineup. And Gosho also sent their full main lineup. They formed a 4132 formation, and the players on the court are also familiar with the goalkeeper Ret, left-back Kufrey, right-back Gugelman, the centre-back is the combination of Salihovic and Antunović, the midfielder Kabanas, the front-back Lima, and the left winger. Avazzini, right winger Horensten, and the two strikers are Egman and Codingho. We have noticed that Gosho is playing an offensive position in this game, which is a very bold move. Is Lin Fenglei so confident against Lyon, the Ligue 1 overlord, on the road? Let's wait and see."
Lin Fenglei's offensive formation in this game is his own consideration, because he noticed that Lyon's two central defenders are relatively short, only 1.78 meters and 1.79 meters respectively, while the two strikers of Gosho are tall and have excellent header ability. In addition, the players on their defense line are generally older. The physical fitness is not very good, so Lin Fenglei discussed with the coaching staff and formulated attack-based tactics, trying to put more pressure on Lyon's old defense line at the beginning, dragging down their physical strength, and also hoped to disrupt Lyon's tactical arrangements through the unexpected use of offensive tactics, and get as many away goals as possible. Lay a good foundation for the next home game.
Gosau's attack-based tactics after the opening did catch Lyon off guard. Gosau suddenly occupied the advantage on the court and created several threatening shooting opportunities. However, Loris is an excellent goalkeeper. He performed well, with high and low blocks. The city is not lost. After that, the more experienced Lyon gradually stabilized their position, and their best attackers Di Maria and Pianic also began to play, and the two teams formed a balance on the field.
In the 29th minute, Lyon got a corner on the right side of the front court. Di Maria took the penalty. This corner was actually the first point grabbed by Lyon's central defender Lemeu, who was only 1.79 meters tall. He shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball flew straight to the dead corner. Kabanas, who was standing at the left post, subconsciously waved his hand and blocked the ball. Outside the door, the referee decisively awarded a penalty and showed a yellow card to Kabanas. Di Maria hit a penalty kick and set the first record for Lyon.
Ralph said regretfully: "Today, it should be said that so far, Gosho has performed better and they have more opportunities, but now the leader is Lyon. Football is like this. If you perform well, you may not be able to score. But we also need to see that Lyon is indeed more experienced than Gosau.
After losing the ball, Lin Fenglei did not panic. He knew that the players were looking at him. If they had no confidence, they would be even less confident. He walked calmly to the sidelines and waved to the players to continue to play according to the tactics he set.
In the 40th minute, the old hot Lyon hit the next city in the counterattack. Pianic took a long pass from the backcourt and rushed along the right side. After Kufre's assist, he didn't have time to return. Pianic dribbled the ball and passed the ball near the penalty area near the bottom line. Gomi, who followed, easily pushed the ball into the goal. Lyon was 2-0 ahead of Gosho.
The players of Gosho were a little stunned. They looked at Lin Fenglei at a loss. Lin Fenglei stood up from the coach's seat and walked to the side of the court. He motioned the players to stabilize. Don't worry. The players' mood slowly stabilized. Driven Agvanzini, Carbanas and Kufre stabilized their feet. He didn't lose any more goals at halftime and entered the locker room with a score of 0:2.
In the locker room, Lin Fenglei looked at the uneasy team members. He smiled, "Why are you looking at me like this? Yes, we fell behind in the first half, but I don't think you played badly. You have had many good opportunities to score goals, but their goalkeeper played well today, but he is just a goalkeeper. He is not a god. He can't beat our whole team alone. Now Lyon's defender and midfielder are very tired. In the second half, we will continue to put pressure on them to collapse. Before this game, I said that I would lead Gosho to win honors for Switzerland. Do you want me to be slapped in the face as soon as I said this?
The morale of Gosho's players was suddenly encouraged. For the sake of the honor of the head coach and our own honor, we can't lose this goal. Let's start fighting back in the second half.
Ralph said with a little worry: "The second half of the game began. In the first half, the Gosau team created a lot of opportunities, but they didn't grasp it. Lyon's goalkeeper Loris is in good shape. Now Lyon is 2-0 ahead of Gosau. Can Gosau withstand this pressure?
Shortly after Ralph's voice fell, Gugleman took the ball in the backcourt and pushed it directly to the feet of Horensten in front of him. After Horensten took two steps, he rolled the ball diagonally to Kaudingho, who inserted it from the right rib. Kaudingho took the opportunity to break into the penalty area, shot low, and was caught a surprise. Loris failed to save the team again this time, and the ball hit the left post and entered the net.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Codingho's goal, 1:2, Gosho has hope again. Now they have an away goal, and it is not unacceptable for Gosho to maintain this score.
Lyon's head coach Puer also seems to think that this score is acceptable, and he has not adjusted the lineup and tactics on the field. After Goshao scored a goal, Lin Fenglei waved to the team's back line to recover, and no longer easily insert assists. Goshao's current offensive tactics are mainly two wingers' frequent passes, and he no longer requires the bottom. It is often a 45-degree diagonal pass near the midfield, and then let the two tall forwards. Grab some. This kind of play suddenly made Lyon's two central defenders suffer unspeakable. They were all 30-year-old veterans, and they were not tall. They competed with two strong men who were more than 1.9 meters tall to grab the header, which really killed them. In the first half, Gosho's attack often played ground ball. They relied on their own The card position and experience are often successful in defense. Now Gosau has played this kind of simple and rough football, but it is their weakness.
Puer gradually saw the problem. His two central defenders now have to squeeze and grab points desperately for each ball. After a while, he was out of breath. When he was hesitating whether to change people, Gosho scored. In the 60th minute, Avazzini took the right corner kick, and Egman jumped from the back and grabbed the point. Lemeu tried his best not to squeeze him, nor pulled him. Egman hit the ball on the top of his head. The ball changed its direction after touching his forehead and quickly got into the upper left corner. Loris only had time to wave his hand and saw the ball spinning in the net.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Gosho was abnormal and played a simple and rough long pass, but received a miraculous effect. Although Lyon's two old defenders are experienced, they are not tall. It is their weakness to deal with this kind of play. Now Gosau has set the score to 2:2, and Lyon has to worry that if it continues like this, they will lose more goals, and the initiative has returned to Gosau's side.
Puer couldn't sit still anymore. He replaced two tall central defenders in a row. One was a 29-year-old central defender Bodemer. He was 1.90 meters tall, but he had a slight injury before the game. Out of caution, Puer did not send him to start, and the other was 19-year-old Algerian central defender Bokha. Li, he is 1.94 meters tall and is a potential central defender, but now he has too little experience in the game. He is a standard rookie, but at this time, he is obviously more useful than the two old central defenders.
