After Christine's article was published, it suddenly stirred up a thousand waves. Many neutral media have expressed support for Christine's remarks. Only some media that are pro-Zurich, Basel and other strong teams are still advocating the Gosho threat theory, but this voice is already very weak, because Christine The article is well-founded. Now the development of the Swiss Super League is indeed thousands of miles a day, and these are indeed brought by the Gosho team.

In the end, the score of 1:3 was maintained until the end of the game.
On August 11, Gosho played against the promoted Malocen at home. The strength of this game was originally very different, but the Gosho team was unlucky in the first half and hit the goal twice. Not only did they not score on their own, but in the 16th minute, right-back Gugelman also hit his own goal with a corner goal. Until the end of the first half, Gosau was still behind Lucerne by 0:1. In the 44th minute, Gugelman made up for his mistakes. He actively came forward and assisted.

He broke through the ball to the right side of the penalty area and swept the ball into the middle of the penalty area. Egman followed up in time and shot furiously. The ball entered the net in response. Gosho expanded the team. Score.
Subsequently, Lin Fenglei replaced three main players in a row. The final score of the game was 3:1, and the Gosho team easily beat the opponent at home.
On August 18, the Goshao team challenged the young team away from home. This game attracted a lot of attention, because the only loss of the Goshao team in the league last season was to the away game to the young team, and this season, the young team has invested a lot and its strength has been greatly improved. Therefore, many people have high hopes for the young team, hoping that they can beat the winning streak of the Gosau team at home.
However, this game disappointed many people. The Gosho team did not give the young team a chance. They beat the young team 4:1. Egman scored a hat-trick and Avanzini scored another goal.
On August 25, in the eighth round of the league, Gosho played against Sion at home. This game was followed by the European Super Cup. Last season's Champions League champion Gosho played against last season's UEFA Europa League champion Eindhoven in the Netherlands, so Lin Fenglei sent most of the rotation players in this game, but Go Sau still defeated Sion 4-0, Egman scored two goals, Esposito scored a goal, and the young midfielder Hodel also scored the first goal in the official game for Gosho.
After this game, the Gosho team topped the list with 7 wins, 1 draw and 22 points in eight games in the league, already leading the second-ranking team of Zurich by 4 points.
The day after the game, Lin Fenglei led the whole team to Monaco to prepare for the European Super Cup to be held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco on August 30.
This year's European Super Cup against Gosau and Eindhoven are the second time in history to participate in this competition. The last time Gosau participated in the Super Cup was last season as the Champions League champion Bayern Munich as the champion of the UEFA Europa League. As a result, they lost their opponents due to referee problems; while Eindhoven The last time they participated in this competition dates back to 1988, when they won the only European Champions League champion in the club's history. However, in the European Super Cup against the then winners' Cup champion Mechelen of Belgium, they lost home and away by 1:3 in two rounds, so they lost the chance. Super Cup.
Eindhoven and Gosho also flew to Monaco on the same day. Reporters from major European media flocked to interview the head coaches of the two teams, Lin Fenglei and Stevens respectively.
Lin Fenglei said in an interview: "Iindhoven is a great club in European football history, and I respect them very much. They are very strong and have played very well in the UEFA Europa League last season. So this game is not destined to be an easy game, and I will be prepared to encounter difficulties. Of course, I still think we can win this game and win the first European Super Cup in the history of the club.
Stevens kept a low profile a lot. In the interview, he believed that the Gosho team has had a good momentum in recent years, and excellent players have emerged one after another. Now in terms of strength, it is already one of the strongest teams in Europe. While Eindhoven has not bought any new players this season, the original main force has been lost. Therefore, Eindho Wen is at a low hand in this game. Of course, he also said that he would try his best to win this game.
Stevens' initiative to show weakness before the game did not make Lin Fenglei relax his vigilance. Indeed, what Stevens said is true. After Eindhoven won the UEFA Europa League last season, several excellent main players have switched to major clubs, and they have not introduced any excellent players. Therefore, their overall strength has indeed decreased compared with last season. Compared with Gosho's team, their strength is indeed In a weak position, but this does not mean that the Eindhoven team will be captured in this game. Stevens' weakness is more likely that he is playing smoke screens.
There are many examples of weak and strong in football games, and a winning or losing game like the Super Cup is a hotbed of unpopularity. On the premise that both sides are eager to win the first European Super Cup in the club's history, it is a fool's dream to win easily. Therefore, Lin Fenglei and the coaching staff made careful preparations for the game early, arranged targeted tactics, and prepared for all kinds of unfavorable situations in the game. At the same time, he also vaccinated the players in advance, warning them not to take it lightly in this game.
Avanzini assured Lin Fenglei on behalf of the players: "Head, don't worry, we will take this Super Cup final seriously. This trophy is the only European trophy we haven't won. The last time we lost very badly, and this time we won't let it slip away from our hands!"
Lin Fenglei nodded with satisfaction. He also believes that after the knockout match against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Europa League, the away game was almost reversed after a big lead at home. His players will definitely remember the lesson and will not despise every enemy.
