Chapter 72 Top Battle
After greeting some old acquaintances, Lin Fenglei left the venue and returned to his hotel. After returning to the hotel, he received a text message from Chen Bing. Chen Bing asked him if he was in a bad mood now?
He texted back to Chen Bing and said, "No, I'm in a good mood now."
Chen Bing said, I watched the live broadcast, and it was said that you were divided into a super death group. I thought you would not be in a good mood.
Lin Fenglei said, "It's nothing. No matter what kind of death group I have the confidence to break through.
Chen Bing said, that's good. I have confidence in you, too.
After the two exchanged good night, Lin Fenglei took a rest. Now he feels a hundred times more confident. No matter what kind of opponent he is, he is confident to defeat.
The next day, Lin Fenglei flew back to Gosau. On September 4, Gosau played at home against the last opponent in the first round, and also their biggest opponent to win the championship - Zurich.
Zurich has invested a lot of money this season. In addition to spending a lot of money to renew the contract with the team's main players, they also bought the young Serbian striker Bijerika for 3 million euros and Swedish midfielder DeJuriić for 1.5 million euros. In addition, a few days ago, they also dug young Swiss international Shaqiri from Basel. The transfer amount has not been announced, but it is said to be about 10 million euros.
This transfer has aroused a strong response in Switzerland. Shaqiri is 21 years old and is a new generation of rising stars in Switzerland. Although he is young, he has been selected to the Swiss national team and participated in the 2010 World Cup. He can play the right winger and the right position in the middle of the midfield, which is now widely favored. It is said that Bayern Munich wants to introduce him very much, but he didn't expect to be bought by Zurich now.
Shaqiri's transfer to Zurich also caused an uproar among Basel fans, because Basel and Zurich are sworn enemies, and there is a traditional competitive relationship in the Swiss Super League. Now Basel actually sells its excellent rookie to Zurich, which makes Basel fans very unhappy and has resisted the club. It has been discussed several times.
Bjereka is only 21 years old this year and has been selected for the Serbian national team several times. He is 1.88 meters tall and has the traditional characteristics of Serbian players' delicate skills, and he has a good header and strong impact. After his arrival, he complemented Lewandowski's characteristics and formed a very strong front line.
Zurich has achieved excellent results this season. They not only entered the group stage of the Champions League, but also remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 draws in 8 rounds of the league. At present, they have 18 points and are 4 points behind Gosho and ranking second. Therefore, this game is very critical. If Zurich can defeat Gosau away, the point gap between their Gosau team will only have 1 point, and if Gosau can beat Zurich, the point gap between them and Zurich will widen to 7 points.
So although this game is only a game in the ninth round of the league, it is of watershed significance for the whole trend of the league.
Charlandes, who led the team to Gosau, also shouted the slogan of "do your best to win" before the game. Although he is a generous elder and has a good personal relationship with Lin Fenglei, he will not show weakness to Gosau before this critical game.
Swiss National Sports 1 also made this game a live broadcast of this round. At the same time, the game will also be broadcast to Germany, Austria, France, Liechtenstein, Italy and other countries around Switzerland.
At 7:30 p.m. on September 4, the top battle of the list started as scheduled. Ralph, the commentator of Swiss National Sports 1, introduced the game to the fans: "The game is about to begin, and the players from both sides have entered the field. The lineup of the home team Gosho is goalkeeper Chekareli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Chekaroni, central defender Chevali and Salihovic, midfielder Antunović, left-back Tobinski, right-back Avanzini, front-front midfielder Ivanovic, and the striker is a combination of Egman and Esposito.
The lineup of the visiting team Zurich is the goalkeeper Jamaican Miller, left-back Wasser, right-back Staher, the central defender is Balmetler and Chakuri, the four midfielders from left to right are Vasquez, Egtel, Shaqiri, Nikichi, and the two strikers are Bijelyka and Lewandowski. Together."
Several people have changed the starting lineup of Gosho. Among them, Lima has to take a break for about three games because of an injury in the last game, while Gugelman, Hollensten and Codingho are normal rotations.
After the start of the game, neither team attacked rashly, but first launched a fierce competition in the midfield.
Both teams dare not rely too hard on the offensive formation, because both teams have good counterattackers. Needless to say, Avanzini and Tobinski have strong counterattack ability; and Zurich's Shaqiri and Bjelika are also fast and well-skilled players. If there is a chance to fight back, their The success rate of attack will also be very high. Under the fear of both sides, the game was not exciting.
In the 7th minute, Avanzini dribbled the ball in the front court and made a two-to-one cooperation with Ivanovic. After Egman got the ball in the penalty area, he shook the angle and shot hard, but was blocked by Balmetler, who fell to the ground, and slightly missed the left post.
Then Ribeiro's corner kick was taken off by Miller in the air. Miller immediately threw the ball and launched a counterattack. After Shaqiri got the ball, he rushed to the front of the penalty area at high speed and made a very threatening long shot, but unfortunately it was slightly higher than the crossbar.
No one expected that these two attacks were the most threatening attacks of the two teams in the first half. Since then, both sides have played very cautiously and have invested heavily in the midfield. It is often seen that players from both sides are turning over in the midfield.
Until the end of 45 minutes of the first half, the score of both sides was still 0:0. The coaches of both sides were not dissatisfied with this score. For Charlandes, although he said he would try his best to win before the game, it would be a better result if he could draw with Gosho on the road. After all, in the past two seasons, Zurich has not won anything good in the game against Gosho, especially in the away game, which is almost a complete defeat, so even if It is this season that the team's strength has been greatly enhanced, and he does not dare to despise the Gosau team at all.
For Lin Fenglei, it is not acceptable to draw with Zurich under the condition of a large rotation. After all, there is still a 4 point gap between the two sides.
With this mentality, the head coaches of both sides did not make any major adjustments to the tactics in the second half. Both sides still played very cautiously and created not many scoring opportunities.
In the 65th minute, Lin Fenglei first made an adjustment. He replaced Esposito with Codingho and Chekarani with Gugleman. This adjustment immediately received the effect. Gugleman frequently assisted after playing, and Codingho was also very active, which made Charlanders frown.
Just as Charlandes was preparing to adjust the lineup on the court, Gosho scored a goal. In the 69th minute, Gugelman carried the ball in the backcourt. When he advanced to the middle line, in the face of the opponent's defensive player, he gave the ball straight to Avazzini, and Ivanzini made a two-to-one cooperation. In the bottom pass, Zurich's French central defender Chacully, who was only 1.81 meters tall, was completely defeated in the competition with Kadingho. Kadingho grabbed the first header and put the ball back. Egman cleverly grabbed the landing point, and he easily poked the ball into the empty goal.
Ralph finally had a chance to show his roar: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!! It was Egman again, who once again set the first record for the Gosau team. And Gosau also took the initiative on the court because of this goal, and now Zurich has to adjust its tactics. If this score is maintained until the end of the game, Gosau will lead Zurich by 7 points, and the league will only last until the ninth round. Such a point gap is already very large.
Charles Landers stood up from the coach's bench. He replaced two offensive players in a row, which was also a helpless move. He had to use the remaining 20 minutes to equalize the score.
