Chapter 115 St. Garen
After Gosho's away draw with Real Madrid 2:2, the European media immediately took a 180-degree turn, and all of a sudden they became optimistic about Gosho. The odds of major European gambling companies have also changed greatly. Now the odds of Gosho's promotion are much higher than that of the Royals. The Madrid team.
After Real Madrid's home draw with Gosho, their whole team has been under great pressure. Some Spanish media have frequently exposed the news that Real Madrid's locker room is unstable and the players have quarreled. Although these are unconfirmed gossips, these days, Real Madrid's Many players do not look good, and media reporters have been rejected for their interviews without exception. These can't help but make people doubt that the gossip may be true.
It is also revealed by the media that if Real Madrid loses to Gosau in the first round of the knockout match, Mourinho will not stay in the position of Real Madrid at the end of this season. They also said bluntly that the senior management of Real Madrid is now in contact with some world-famous coaches.
Someone interviewed Mourinho himself on this question, but Mourinho answered this question with a gloomy face and said "no comment", and then refused to continue to answer the question.
At this time, Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid, stood up and expressed his support for Mourinho: "We have a four-year contract with Jose. No matter what results Real Madrid has achieved this season, he will fulfill his contract. This season is only Mourinho's first season at Real Madrid. He still needs to run in with the team. So far, he has run out well with the team. Now we are also very hopeful to win the championship in the league, which is already a very good result. As for the Champions League? All I can say is that Real Madrid's lottery is not very lucky. Look at Barcelona. They are very lucky to draw lots, and they have always been lucky to draw lots.
Florentino old-fashionedly transferred the contradiction to Barcelona. He secretly implied that Barcelona was taken care of by UEFA in the draw, while Real Madrid did not get such care. Barcelona was shot while lying down.
Sure enough, after Florentino's remarks, the media's attention was on whether Barcelona was taken care of by UEFA, and the "godfather theory" was very popular for a while.
However, it is no wonder that there is such a comment. Barcelona's signing is really good. Their opponents in the group stage are Lyon, Copenhagen and Kazan Ruby. Their average strength is not strong. As a result, they easily locked the first place in the group two rounds in advance. Their opponent in the first round of the knockout match is the Lisbon Athletic team. In the second group, their strength is the bottom. Thinking of the lottery in the previous seasons, Barcelona's opponents in the first round are always Donetsk Miners, Galatasaray, Olympiacos and other teams. It is amazing that Barcelona is really lucky.
After Florentino expressed his support for Mourinho and the disaster of success, which attracted the media's attention to Barcelona, Mourinho's life was a little better, and he could finally lead the team to prepare for the second round.
Lin Fenglei doesn't care about these remarks. If Real Madrid's military spirit is really unstable, it is certainly a good thing for him, but even if their military spirit is very stable and morale is high, Lin Fenglei is not afraid. At worst, he will fight hard. The current hard power of Gosho is no less than that of Real Madrid, and the second round of the game is still played at Gosho's home court. It should be Real Madrid that is afraid.
It doesn't matter whether Barcelona has been taken care of by UEFA in the draw. They have been taken care of by UEFA, and they have not won the Champions League in the past few seasons, which shows that the football match ultimately depends on the strength and state of the team.
The Gosau team, which returned to Switzerland, went to the away game to challenge Neuchateel on March 2nd and played the 23rd round of the league. In the face of not strong opponents, Lin Fenglei rotated several main players, but Gosau still beat the opponent 3-0. Egman, Lima and Kodinho made contributions to the team respectively.
After this round, Gosau ranked at the top of the table with 19 wins, 4 draws and 61 points in 23 rounds, which is 20 points ahead of the second-ranked Zurich. With 13 rounds left in the league, this is already a very huge advantage. It can be said that Gosau's league championship is just a It's a matter of time.
In fact, many teams in the Swiss Super League this season have increased their investment. Their strength is far stronger than last season, but now the points of Goshao's team have exceeded the points of the same period last season, and the gap with the second place is also significantly higher than that of the same period last season.
Swiss media have discussed this strange issue one after another. Most people think that this result shows that the strength of the Gosho team has also increased significantly compared with last season, or that the performance of the Gosho team is more stable than last season. This is a good proof of this fact that it has been unbeaten so far.
And other teams in the Swiss Super League have been strengthened, so other strong teams can no longer have as much advantage as in the previous seasons when facing the middle and downstream teams. This season, the case of winning the strong with the weak is far more than in previous seasons. These loss of points plus the internal consumption between several teams, Their points are far lower than that of the same period last season, which widens the gap with the Gosho team.
Of course, this phenomenon will only be temporary. As the strength of the league team becomes stronger and stronger, Gosho's advantage in the league will only become smaller and smaller in the future. In fact, there are already signs this season. Gosho only beat their opponents by one or two goals against some middle and downstream teams, and rarely win more than four goals like last season. This also shows that the advantage of the Gosho team is shrinking.
On March 8, Gosau played against Zurich, which ranked second in the league, at home, which was another eye-catching top battle.
Of course, at this time, the top battle is no longer as suspenseful as there is at the beginning of the season. The points advantage of the Gosau team give them the full capital to squander it. However, for the Zurich team, this is still a key game. After all, the third-ranked young team is only the gap between them. With two points, Zurich can't lose to Gosau if it wants to keep its second place.
Zurich's head coach Charles Landes formed a 451 defensive lineup in this game to fight against Gosau with a defensive counterattack.
Lin Fenglei continued to adhere to the rotation policy. Of course, he also hoped to defeat Zurich in this game and continue to expand his points advantage. However, Zurich's defense was indeed very tough. In addition, Shaqiri and Lewandowski's counterattacks from time to time made Gosho afraid. In the end, the game ended in 90 minutes. Neither side scored, and the two teams scored 0:0.
It should be said that this score is acceptable to both teams. The Gosau team continues to maintain a 20-point advantage, and there is another round less in the league, and there is nothing to be satisfied that Zurich can draw with the powerful Gosau away, and they also keep the second place in the table and reach them. The goal before the game.
On March 15, in the last league game before the second leg against Real Madrid, Gosau challenged derby opponent St. Garren away.
St. Garren has performed well in the past few seasons and has qualified for the UEFA Europa League for two consecutive seasons. This season, due to the return of the traditional strong team Zurich Grasscombs to the Swiss Super League, plus Neuchtel, Sion and other teams have also performed quite well this season, so St. Garren is now only ranked in league points. The eighth place on the list is only one step away from the relegation zone.
However, under the recent situation, the head coach of St. Garren, Mourinini, was still very angry with the Gosho team. He shouted the slogan of the sniper Gosho team before the game. In his opinion, now is a good opportunity to defeat the opponent while the Gosho team is distracted by the Champions League. If Saint-Gallen can win Gosau in this game, they may not be able to reach the top six in the league and continue to participate in the UEFA Europa League next season.
Morinini's abacus almost became a reality. The Gosau team, which sent most of the main team, was in a sluggish state in today's game, and several players were not paying attention. After the start of the game, St. Garon got two good shooting opportunities in a row within ten minutes. Fortunately, Gosho's The goalkeeper Chekareli is not one of the players who is out of concentration today. He is in very good shape, with consecutive high and low blocks, blocking the St. Garren's shot away.
In the 16th minute of the game, St. Garren striker Mustafa broke into the penalty area after receiving a direct pass from his teammate, and then easily shook Chevally. Just as he was about to shoot, Chevally tripped him to the ground. The referee on duty sounded the whistle without hesitation and ran to the scene of the incident with his right finger. He went to the penalty spot and then showed a yellow card to Chevalley.
Chevalley lowered his head and walked out of the penalty area. He looked very depressed. He did not dare to look at Lin Fenglei's face outside the field. He knew that Lin Fenglei's face must be very bad now. In fact, he was very dissatisfied with his performance.
The other players of the Gosho team also retreated outside the penalty area. Only Chekarelly jumped on the goal line and moved his hands, ready to face the player who took the penalty kick from St. Garren.
