Chapter 36 Before the Final
After Goshao defeated Arsenal and advanced to the Champions League final of this season, the media across Europe have reported on this matter, which has also set off a Gosho fever among Chinese fans. Goshao is the biggest dark horse in the Champions League in recent years. From the qualifying match to the final, this itself is enough. It's strange. In addition, Lin Fenglei, the chairman and head coach of the Gosho team, is also from China. In just four years, he has brought the team from the lower league to the Champions League finals, which is more like the plot in the inspirational novel. So today's Gosho has attracted the attention of the world, which is no less than the attention of Hoffenheim at the beginning. No, it should be said that it is far more than Hoffenheim. After all, Gosho has reached the Champions League final, and what about Hoffenheim? So far, he hasn't won the Bundesliga championship, so he can only be relegated in the Bundesliga.
Chen Bing's news and public relations department also took advantage of Gosho's finals to cooperate with the world's largest media. In the future, Gosho's name and news about Gosho's team will increasingly appear in these most eye-catching media, and the reputation of Gosho's club will also be huge in the shortest time. Big growth. This is the advantage of the information explosion era. In the last century, it was unimaginable. In that era, no matter how good your grades were, fans around the world could not get your news at the first time, and the information they got could not be as detailed and detailed as it is now.
Smith also reported to Lin Fenglei that several new sponsors have come to Gosho to discuss sponsorship matters, and several of Gosho's original sponsors, such as Nike, also sent senior executives to negotiate the renewal of the contract between the two sides. After all, the sponsorship contract signed by Gosho and Nike was only three years, when Goshao's results were booming. They can't sit still.
Lin Fenglei smiled indifferently, and then instructed Smith to postpone all cooperation matters and wait until the end of Gosho's games this season before starting negotiations. Now Smith admires Lin Fenglei. At the beginning, Lin Fenglei asked him to sign contracts with all sponsors for three years at most. He still didn't think so, because the price offered by Nike and other sponsors is the highest in Switzerland. He felt that there was no harm in signing longer. Unexpectedly, now Before the end of the year, the sponsors roared and took the initiative to ask for a renewal of the contract again, and one by one, they offered a price that stunned him. So Smith is now obedient to Lin Fenglei, and he immediately agreed to Lin Fenglei's instructions.
Lin Fenglei looked at Smith. This young man is very talented and capable. He will be his effective assistant in the future. However, after all, he has just graduated from school, and Goshao was only a small club a few years ago, so he inevitably lacks confidence in the face of some big crocodiles. However, this is not a big problem. I believe that after several years of training and fully understanding the prospects of the Gosau Club, he will be more and more comfortable in this kind of business negotiation. He stood up, patted Smith on the shoulder and said, "Rian, you are now the director of the Commerce Department of the Gosho Club. Your status is no worse than those sent by those big companies, and I am optimistic about your ability, so you need to be more confident. The future of the Goshao Club is unlimited. Now it is not that we beg them to sign the contract, but that they beg us. You should have more confidence. I believe that you can strive for the best interests for us.
Smith was thoughtful. After a while, he laughed and said to Lin Fenglei, "Head, I know what to do."
Lin Fenglei looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead and make more money for us."
The Champions League final against Juventus will be held on May 25. Before that, Gosau still has five games to play, the first of which is the Swiss Northeast Derby against St. Argens at home on May 5. Before this game, fans on both sides are shouting revenge. If the Gosho fans avenge the last time they were shoveled, the St. Garren fans will avenge the defeat at home. St. Garren is now ranked fifth and is still in the area to enter the European competition next season, but they are not far from the sixth-ranked Sion points, so they also need to get points to stabilize their ranking. Their head coach Morinini also shouted the slogan of defeating the Gosau team.
However, Morinini soon understood that it was useless to shout slogans. In this game, Gosau defeated St. Garren 4-0 without any suspense in the cheers of 3,000 fans at home. St. Garren has been taken care of by the Swiss Football Association due to the last bad foul, so their If the action is slightly larger, the referee will whistle and even give a yellow card. In the end, they have to restrain their movements. In a normal game environment, the players of the Gosho team let go of their hands and feet. As a result, Avanzini, who was injured and absent in the last game against St. Garon, performed an assist hat-trick. Egman scored a hat-trick, and Antunović scored a penalty.
At the post-match press conference, Morinini vaguely criticized the Swiss Football Association's favoritism of the Gosau team. Lin Fenglei ignored it, and the Swiss Football Association severely warned Mourini to pay attention to his remarks. Just kidding, Goshao is now going to participate in the final of the UEFA Champions Cup. If their main players are injured by you, will they still play in the final? Besides, as long as you play football normally, who will fight with you? After all, it's still your own problem.
The enemy's road is narrow. In the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup three days later, Gosau met St. Garren again. This time, he was at the home of St. Garren. As a result, Egman scored a hat-trick for the second consecutive game, helping the Gosau team, who sent a large number of rotations, defeat their opponents 3:1 and entered the finals of the Swiss Cup.
Morinini also sent all the main players in this game, but he still had no way to lose. This season, St. Garren played five games against Gosho. He had no choice but to admit the gap between St. Garren and Gosho, but he vowed to strengthen the team and challenge Gosho next season.
Gosau has won the Swiss Super League this season, and has also reached the finals in the UEFA Champions League and the Swiss Cup. The Swiss media are excited again. Can Gosau win the Triple Crown again this season? If you can win the Triple Crown this season, it will be more valuable than last season. And this also marks an important step for the Gosho team on the road to becoming a dynasty team.
In the 33rd round of the Swiss Super League on May 12, Gosau challenged Sion away. In this game, Lin Fenglei sent all the substitutes, and even Egman did not start. As a result, Sion, who tried its best to enter the top five, scored two goals in the first half. In the second half, Lin Fenglei sent Kao Ding. Huo and Egman, each of them scored one goal after their appearance, helped Goshao draw 2-2 away from Sion.
On May 18, Gosho ushered in the challenge of Basel at home. Egman, who started the game, scored two goals to help Gosho defeat Basel 2-0. In this game, Lin Fenglei also sent a lot of rotating players. According to the advice of the physical coach and team doctor, he arranged the playing time of the main players to ensure that their state reached the best on the day of the Champions League final.
On May 21, the league between Gosau and Thun was held one day ahead of schedule, which is also a preferential treatment given by the Swiss Football Association for Gosau, which will play the most important game of the season on the 25th. Lin Fenglei sent out all the substitutes. As a result, in the first half of the game, Esposito and Tobinski each scored a goal. 70 minutes later in the second half, Lin Fenglei replaced Egman and Avanzini. Egman played a hat-trick crazily in just 20 minutes. In the end, Gosho swept 5:1 at home. Team Thun. Gosau also finished the last game before the UEFA Champions League.
The day after the game, Lin Fenglei led all the Gosau players to board the flight to Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, ready to participate in the final of this season's UEFA Champions League there.
