Chapter 73 FIFA Virus
Lin Fenglei immediately waved his hand and motioned Ivanovic to retreat to the back position. The advantage of having a player like Ivanovic is here. Lin Fenglei can make tactical adjustments without changing the players on the court, which can be converted from the 442 diamond midfield attack formation to the 442 double midfield defensive formation at any time.
After Gosho's turn to defensive tactics, Zurich's offensive became fierce. For a while, Gosho's goal was in front of the wind. Fortunately, the two central defenders and goalkeeper cecarelli played well, which kept a 1-0 lead.
In the 82nd minute, Challanders replaced his last striker, Nigerian international Oden Wenjie, in an attempt to win back the score in the last 10 minutes.
Lin Fenglei immediately replaced Egman, who scored with Silva, to strengthen the defense in the penalty area. In the end, the result of the game was 1:0. In this top battle, Gosau defeated Zurich at home, widening the gap with the two sides to 7 points.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Lin Fenglei: "Mr. Lin Fenglei, congratulations on your victory over a strong enemy at home. After winning this game, you have already had 8 wins, 1 draw and 25 points in the first nine rounds, occupying a clear advantage in the league table. So can it be said that Goshao is very sure to win three consecutive league championships this season?
Lin Fenglei thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think I can say that. The league has only started nine rounds, and three-quarters of the schedule has not been played. It's too early to say this. In the first nine rounds, the Gosho team can achieve eight wins and one draw. In addition to the team's own good performance, there are also some elements of luck. Like today's game against Zurich, if the Zurich team is lucky in the second half of the game, the game may be a draw. This season, Zurich, Basel, Young people and other teams have strengthened their strength. They are all strong contenders for the championship, so Gosho needs more efforts to win three consecutive championships.
Another reporter asked, "In less than half a month, your first Champions League of the season is about to begin. This draw of Gosho's luck is not very good. It has drawn into a 'super death group'. Do you have the confidence to qualify from the group?"
Lin Fenglei said firmly this time, "Of course, I'm very confident. Gosho is the defending champion of the Champions League, and my players are also in good shape. I can't think of any reason why we can't qualify.
The reporter asked Charles Landes again: "Mr. Charles Landes, Zurich can be said to be the strongest season this season, and you have also entered the group stage of the Champions League. However, you don't seem to be very lucky. You are in the group of the Premier League giant Chelsea, last season's Champions League runner-up Juventus, and last season's UEFA Europa League champion Eindhoven. So are you confident that you will make a breakthrough in the Champions League this season?
Charlanders smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, we are not very lucky. In the face of such three opponents, I dare not say that I can qualify from the group. But we will definitely do our best to get as many points for the Swiss league as possible, so that the Gosau team will not always fight alone, so that the whole of Europe will think that Switzerland only has one team of the Gosau team.
Charles Landers's words made the people laugh. Although this sentence is joking and exaggerated, it also reflects the mentality of Zurich, a traditional Swiss tycoon.
Now in the European arena, the results of the Gosau team are so dazzling that they have completely covered up the glory of other Swiss teams. Therefore, traditional Swiss strong teams such as Zurich, Basel and young people feel that their self-esteem is seriously frustrated. In the past, everyone's results were not good, and they were happy to muddle through, but now they suddenly Without such an alien as the Gosho team, they have a sense of crisis. In these two seasons, they have greatly increased their investment. To a large extent, it is also for this reason that they do not want to always hold back in the European arena and are always regarded as a disgrace to Switzerland.
Lin Fenglei couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Charles Landes, you are too modest. Didn't your Zurich team perform very well in the UEFA Europa League last season? With you, we won't fight alone.
Charlanders said solemnly, "How can that be enough? In these two seasons, except for you, the Swiss team's total score in Europe is not as good as your team. Our goal is to surpass you in this season's score.
Lin Fenglei nodded and said, "Well, I also hope to see this scene. In this way, the day when the Swiss League enters the five major European leagues will not be too far away."
Lin Fenglei's words also aroused the deep thinking of all the reporters in the field. Indeed, the healthy development of a league and its influence in Europe cannot only rely on one team, but on all the teams in the league to work together.
This game was followed by the national team match day. Two consecutive qualifiers for the 2014 Brazil World Cup were held on September 7 and 11. A number of Gosho's main players were selected to their respective national teams.
The Swiss team played against Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in these two games. They defeated their opponents 3:1 and 1-0 respectively, won eight consecutive victories in the sixth group in Europe, and advanced to the finals of the 2014 World Cup two rounds in advance. Egman scored two goals against Macedonia and the only goal in the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. He made great contributions to the Swiss team's promotion.
The early promotion of the Swiss team also delighted the Swiss football world, and the Gosau team, which has contributed a lot of main force to the Swiss team, has also been unanimously praised by the media.
Gosho captain Avanzini also played two games for Italy. As a result, Italy defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina and Norway by two 3:1 respectively, ranking second in the sixth group after the Swiss team with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. It is very promising to qualify for the play-offs. Avazzini also scored a goal in these two games.
In addition, Antunović, Topinski and others also played for their respective national teams, and the Portuguese national team also recruited Kaudinho and Ribeiro for the first time. They staged their debut in the national team. In the game against Malta on September 11, Koudinho played in the second half and scored a goal, which also It was his first goal for the Portuguese national team. After this game, he said to reporters that scoring for the national team is the dream of every professional player. Therefore, this is the most glorious moment of his career. At this moment, the person he wants to thank most is his mentor Lin Fenglei. If it weren't for Lin Fenglei, maybe he is still just an unknown ordinary person. Players, it is impossible to have the current achievements.
When the reporter relayed Kao Dinghuo's words to Lin Fenglei, Lin Fenglei was very moved. He said to the reporter, "Maybe I have some help to Kao Dinghuo, but without Kao Dinghuo's own efforts, he would not have achieved his current achievements. I just gave him a chance to show himself. I believe that Codingho will become a great player in the future.
After the international players of Gosho returned to the team, Lin Fenglei felt that he had a headache. Now the main players in the team have played three high-intensity games in a row for seven days from the 4th to the 11th. Their fatigue can be imagined, but on the 14th, Gosho will play against the Zurich Grasswfly at home. In the 10th round of the game, and on the 18th, the Goshao team will go to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, to play the first round of the Champions League group stage away against Sofia Central Army.
Lin Fenglei is also deeply feeling the impact of the FIFA virus on the team. During the training, he looked at the exhausted main players and began to be distracted by the formation of the grass-sapult games. He didn't want to give up any of these games, but if they were all played by the main players, their bodies could not stand it. In the end, he decided to send all the substitutes in the game against the Grasswtlers and retain the physical ability of the main players to deal with the more important Champions League games.
