Chapter 140 Young People's Team
On April 13, Lin Fenglei led the Gosho team to challenge Lucerne.
Lucerne is now ranked eighth in the league, but they are only one point away from the ninth St. Garren, and they may be overtaken by their opponents at any time. If they want to get a place of direct relegation, they can be said to be a life-and-death battle in every game since then. Therefore, the Lucerne team did not show any fear for the sunrise Gosho team. Instead, they wanted to get points from the Gosho team fighting on two fronts.
In this game, Lin Fenglei sent a half-main and half-replacement mixed lineup, and Gosau also encountered strong resistance from Lucerne on the road.
In the 19th minute, Lucerne striker Shuenbachler received right winger Fabian in the middle. Frey's pass, took the ball into the penalty area, and made a low shot in the far corner to break the net, opening the record for Lucerne.
Then Gosho launched a fierce counterattack, but under the full defense of Lucerne, the effect has not been very good, and the luck is average, so it is almost finished in the first half and still fell behind with one goal.
It was not until the 41st minute of the first half that Kaodingho made a successful breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area. He made a back pass near the bottom line, and the back point Avanzini was in place in time. He made an empty shot, which equalized the score for the Gosho team.
Just 3 minutes later, Avazzini made a good return. After his breakthrough, he helped Kao Dinghuo with a header and scored, which also overtook the score for the Gosho team.
Near the end of the half, they were scored two goals in a row by Gosho, which made Lucerne's morale a little down. However, after a 15-minute half-minute break, they cheered up and launched a fierce attack on the Gosho's hinterland.
In the second half, in order to preserve the physical fitness of the main players, Lin Fenglei replaced Avanzini with Sartre, Codingho with Zhou Guodong, and Gugelman with Clement.
The replacement of three young players in a row also reduced the strength of the Gosho team. In the 71st minute, it was Shuenbachler who received a diagonal pass from midfielder Troure on the right side of the penalty area, and volleyed directly from the near corner, bringing the score to a 2:2 draw.
In the next 20 minutes, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but did not score until the first minute of stoppage time. Esposito broke into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by Lucerne's Albanian full-back Hachli on the left side of the penalty area. The referee did not hesitate to blow the penalty. Antunović made it overnight and once again overtook the score for Gosho.
Antunović's goal also became the last goal of the game. Gosho defeated Lucerne and defeated his opponent 3-2, raising the unbeaten number of unbeaten games in the league this season to 29. In addition, since the beginning of last season, Gosho has been unbeaten in 56 games in the Swiss Super League.
Now Gosau is only two games away from AC Milan's 58 unbeaten record in the league. The Swiss media has also begun to speculate about this matter. Most people hope that Gosau can break AC Milan's unbeaten record and set a season unbeaten record.
On April 19, the Goshao team played against the young team at home.
The last time the Goshao team lost in the Swiss Super League was when they lost to the youth team in the ninth round of last season. Now, they have met the youth team at the record-setting juncture. History seems to have gone through a cycle. To set a new record, they must cross over the youth team.
This game has naturally become the highlight of this round of the league.
Petkovic, the head coach of the youth team, also shouted the slogan of defeating the Gosho team. His current life is not easy, because the young team he leads is only ranked sixth in the league, which is quite commensurate with their Swiss strongman status; and the sixth place can only allow them to enter the Europa League. They may be surpassed by the following teams at any time, which is very unsafe, so they also need points to maintain their current situation. Ranking.
Petkovic also mentioned AC Milan's record. He said that AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games began in Parma and ended in Parma, while Gosau's current 56 unbeaten games began with young people and will certainly end with young people. Young people will never easily let the Goshao team step over themselves. They will attack the Goshao team with all their strength.
Petkovic's statement is of course a little idealistic, but there are also some markets for this statement. At the beginning, AC Milan's unbeaten 58 games were indeed started in Parma and ended by Parma, which made many people believe that this was not a complete coincidence, and there was God's will.
In fact, Petkovic has some ideas. The first game of AC Milan's 58 unbeaten game was a 0-0 draw with Parma, and the 59th game was a 0:1 loss to Parma. This is still a little different from the situation of Gosho, who lost 0:2 to the youth team in the ninth round of the league last season. After that, they began to be undefeated.
If the next game of Gosho will really develop according to AC Milan's script as Petkovic said, then it should be their first 56 unbeaten opponent, Nashatel, who will end Gosho's unbeaten in 56 games. More coincidentally, if Gosho can remain unbeaten in the next two league games, then Their next opponent is Nayshatel.
Of course, Petkovic himself may not think so deeply. His remarks are just psychological tactics. Sometimes this kind of psychological tactics is still very useful. Many strong teams have been trapped by some inexplicable spells. They played a mess in some games that should have been easy, and finally suffered a defeat. After a long period of unbeatenness, players may also have psychological fatigue, which are what Petkovic hopes to take advantage of.
I don't know if Petkovic's words have had an effect, or whether the media hype has brought a psychological burden to Gosho's players. Many Gosho's players seem to be inexplicably restless these days.
Lin Fenglei has no good way to solve this phenomenon. If he takes the initiative to mention this matter to the players and uses the concept of materialism to tell them that the magic spell does not actually exist, it may not solve the problem, but it will be counterproductive.
Lin Fenglei can only help the players reduce their psychological pressure as much as possible now. He has slightly reduced the amount of training in training and often jokes with the players at ordinary times. He can only solve the other problems by the players themselves. In fact, this kind of thing is also easy to solve. After crossing the two levels of young people and Nashatel, the psychological pressure of the players will naturally be eliminated.
The so-called strangeness is not strange, but the fault is self-defeat.
In addition, although some players seem to be under great psychological pressure, many players seem to be very relaxed and have high fighting spirit, eager to devote themselves to the game as soon as possible. These people include experienced veterans such as Kabanas and Silva, as well as players like Egman and Avanzini who have always been fearless, and some young players are only excited to set a record.
In everyone's expectation, on April 19, the game against the young team at home finally began.
In this game, the main force of the young team came out, and Lin Fenglei sent many substitutes to prepare for the key game of Barcelona in the four-day away game, and he tried to send players with no psychological pressure, such as Kabanas, Silva, Hodel, Avanzini and Eger. Man, wait.
After the game began, the young team turned away and launched a fierce attack on the Gosho team at the beginning, which also showed that their bold words that they wanted to end Gosho's unbeaten record were not empty words. They did do so. Of course, now that the Goshao team is fighting on two lines, we can't completely focus on the league. At this time, we can't defeat the Goshao team. How long can we wait?
For the opening attack of the young team, Lin Fenglei had expected it for a long time. Now the Gosho team is at the mark of setting a record and has become the target of public criticism. This is also easy to understand. No one wants to be a stepping stone for Gosho's record, and if anyone ends Gosho's unbeatenness, it will also be a great honor for them.
Like Parma, many people now remember that they ended AC Milan's unbeaten record.
