Chapter 74 The Champions League Begins
On September 14, the Gosho team played against the Zurich Grasswt Grasswt team at home. Since the Grasswtwt team can only play in the league this season, all their energy is focused on the league. The results are very good. Now they are in the third place in the table, which can be called a strong dialogue, but in such a game, the Goshao team can only send All substitutes appear on the stage. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Guodong of the Gosho Youth Team started for Gosho for the first time in this game, partnering with Esposito as a striker.
In this game, the grass-sapult team played as the main force. At the beginning, they turned away from the guest, and they were aggressive, and they had the momentum to eat the leader. In the 32nd minute, the Grasswthorns' 1.91m Spanish central defender Valori scored a goal for the Grasswthorns first in a corner kick, leading the Gosho 1-0.
In the 42nd minute, Hodel passed a direct pass to Zhou Guodong. Zhou Guodong took the ball into the penalty area and swept the ball to the front of the goal. Esposito wrapped it in place and easily blocked the ball into the empty goal, equalizing the score for the Gosho team.
This ball made many Chinese reporters who watched the game very excited. In this game, the Chinese players of Gosho not only started for Gosho for the first time, but also had an assist. This result was still very good. After this game, they had something to write.
Subsequently, the game fell into a stalemate, and the score between the two sides was still 1:1 in the 80 minutes of the second half.
In the 81st minute, Gosho's central defender Chevally was sent off for getting a second yellow card in defense. Although Chevally was also selected for the Swiss national team, he did not play in the first two national team games, so he was also sent by Lin Fenglei as the main central defender in this game. He and the goalkeeper Chekareli are also the only two main players in the Gosho team.
After Chevali was sent off, Lin Fenglei immediately replaced the front midfielder Hodel with Salihovic, hoping to keep the 1:1 score. In this case of almost full substitutes and one less, a draw is also a good choice. But just a minute later, the Mexican winger Julio of the Grasswt. Reyes took advantage of the opportunity that the Gosau team had just been sent off and his foot was unstable to rewrite the score to 2:1 in the Gosau team's penalty area.
Lin Fenglei looked very bad. He replaced Zhou Guodong and Sartre with Egman and Avazzini. There are only about ten minutes left in the game. It is unlikely that he wants to win back the score, but Lin Fenglei is still unwilling to suffer the first defeat of the season at home.
Egman and Avanzini were very active after playing, repeatedly creating shooting opportunities, which immediately suppressed the momentum of the Grasswtraps. The head coach of the Grasswtlers, Sforza, immediately replaced two defensive players in a row, trying to keep the victory.
In the 89th minute, Gosho's right-back Sampedro immediately sent a 40-meter long pass from the back court. The ball accurately fell in front of Avanzini. After Avanzini broke through the opponent's defense with the ball, he decisively cut in, after attracting two defenders to the front. He passed a diagonal pass from the gap. The pass tore open the whole defense of the Grasswtray team. Egman understood and got the ball after inserting it into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he shot low and pierced the door of the Grasswfly.
The Gosho fans, who had been depressed for a long time, were boiling, and they gave the warmest cheers to the super shooter who repeatedly saved the team.
Sforza's face was pale. After he took office again, he was ambitious and wanted to restore the hegemony of the Grasswt in the Swiss Super League, and he did a good job, bringing the Grasswtgers to the third place in the standings, but if he wanted to become the Swiss Super League again, Goshao was an opponent they had to beat.
Originally, the Goshao team could only send full substitutes to play in this game. He thought this game would be the best opportunity to defeat the Goshao team. Unexpectedly, he just cheered for the Grasswt's lead for less than ten minutes, and the Goshao team equalized the score. Sforza looked at Egman. He was a terrible shooter. Of course, Sforza still wants to win, but now there is little time left, and after the Gosau team equalized the score, the morale and confidence of the Grasswholes have been seriously hit. Now it is obviously unrealistic for them to make a comeback and score another goal, so he has to go to the sidelines and direct his players. The player retreated and wanted to keep a draw.
The 90-minute game time is up, and the referee signaled three minutes of stoppage time. In the second minute of stoppage time, Gosho's back midfielder Kabanas made a long pass in the backcourt. Avazzini passed the ball at high speed after receiving the ball on the right side. Egman pressed the two central defenders of the Grasswt Grasswt and hit the cross into the Grasswt Grasswt's net with a header.
Egman's goal made all the Gosho players and fans at the scene excited. Egman rushed to the edge of the court and stood there with his hands held high. All his teammates gathered around and rubbed his shooting boots. All 3,000 Gosho fans in the game made a homage to Egman. In their hearts, they thought that this man was so powerful that it took him only ten minutes to bring the Gosau team out of the abyss of failure.
The only one who did not participate in the celebration was Kabanas, who launched the attack. He silently turned around and walked back to his defensive position. Sforza looked at the old captain of the former Grasswzard team, and his mood was extremely complicated. There is no doubt about Kabanas's feelings for the Grasswzards, and it was not his intention to leave the Grassws. Now Sforza is not only happy that Kabanus can win many honors at the end of his career, but also sad that the Grasswtets can't have this still outstanding spiritual leader. Thinking of this, he hated Geiger again. Although this guy only led the Grasswt Grasswt team for a year, he made the Grasswtwt team suffer so hard.
After the game restarted, the Grasswlies only had time to launch an attack, and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. In the end, the Gosho team narrowly defeated the Grasswzards 3:2 at home.
After playing against the Grasswzards, Gosho immediately flew to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, to prepare for the first round of this season's Champions League group stage against Sofia Central Army.
Sofia Central Army is a traditional strong team in Bulgaria. They often participate in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, but they have never qualified in the group stage. They usually play the role of accompanying the prince to study. If the third team in the group is weaker, they may still have some ideas and want to continue to participate in the UEFA Europa League as the third team. However, there are three super teams in this group this season. They are really unable to resist and can only be slaughtered by others.
On September 18, Gosho did their best in the match against Sofia Central Army. As a result, they defeated their opponents 7:0. Egman scored a hat-trick, Kodinho scored two goals, and Avazzini and Horensten also scored one goal each. Sofia's Central Army was defied by **. It's not that Lin Fenglei doesn't give them face, but that the other two opponents in the group are too strong. In the end, the result of the group's qualifying may be a goal difference. Of course, the Goshao team wants to win more than the weakest opponent in the group of Sofia Central Army.
In another game in the group, Manchester City narrowly defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at home. After this round, Gosau and Manchester City scored 3 points, but Gosau occupied the top of the list with a goal difference.
After playing the first game of the group stage, the Gosau team continued to go away from home. This time, they will challenge an amateur team, Dremount, on September 21, for the first round of the Swiss Cup this season. As a result, in this game, Gosho rotated significantly, winning the opponent 5-0. Escos Pocito scored a hat-trick. Zhou Guodong scored the first goal in the official game for Gosho, and Tobinski and Egman in the second half also scored one goal each. The Gosho team advanced to the next round.
On September 28, Gosho continued their away journey. This time, they challenged Basel away in the eleventh round of the league. Since Gosau will face the challenge of Manchester City at home on October 1, Lin Fenglei still made a wide range of rotations in this game. In the end, Esposito scored the only goal for Gosau. Gosau drew 1:1 away with Basel, and the two teams took one point each.
After the game against Basel, Lin Fenglei led the team back to Gosau the next day. After completing the day's work, Lin Fenglei dragged his tired body back home. As soon as he got home, he smelled a smell. He went to the restaurant and saw that the table was full of dishes, and Chen Bing was still holding a bowl of soup from the kitchen.
Lin Fenglei quickly took the large bowl of soup from Chen Bing's hand, carefully put it on the table, and then asked, "Xiao Bing, how did you make so many dishes today? Today doesn't seem to be a special day, does it? Are there any guests at home?
Chen Bing said, "No, my mother said that you were too tired during this period, so I made a lot of dishes you like to make up for you."
A warm current suddenly surged in Lin Fenglei's heart. How long has no one cared about him so much? This feeling of being cared for is really good.
Zhang Shuping and Chen Zhong came out of the kitchen. When they saw Lin Fenglei, they said happily, "Xiao Lin is back? It's time to eat. Xiaobing, go and call your grandpa and grandma out for dinner.
Chen Bing called her grandpa and grandma out and helped them to sit down at the table. Chen Zhong opened a bottle of Erguotou and greeted Lin Fenglei to sit down: "Xiao Lin, sit down. Let's have a few drinks today."
Lin Fenglei quickly arranged two cups, then took the wine in Chen Zhong's hand, filled the wine for him, and then poured another glass of wine for himself.
