Chapter 173 End of the Season
After the Champions League final, the season of Gosho is not over, because they still have two official games, one is the last round of the Swiss Super League this season, the home game against Arau on May 30, the other is the final of this season's Swiss Cup, and Basel in Bern on June 2.
Both games are more important. Needless to say, the Swiss Cup final is related to whether Gosau can defend the Triple Crown this season, and the league against Arau is not insignificant. Although Gosau won the league championship early, this game is also related to whether Gosau can be unbeaten this season. The victory and whether Gosho's unbeaten record in the league can be continued, therefore, Gosho is also bound to win this game.
Of course, this game is also crucial for Gosho's opponent Arau. They are currently at the bottom of the league, only 2 points away from the ninth-ranked Lucerne team. If they can defeat Gosho in this game and Lucerne loses, then they will overtake Lucerne and rise to the top of the table. The ninth position, so that you can also participate in the play-offs, there is hope of relegation, so the importance of this game to the Arau team is self-evident.
Because this game is too close to the final time of the Swiss Cup, Lin Fenglei sent almost all the substitutes in this game, with only two main players, Antunović and Chekareli, starting. Although it is only a substitute lineup, their strength is still very strong compared with the Arau team, and their game motivation is not lacking. Therefore, although the Arau team fought very fiercely in this game, they still lost without any suspense.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Arau got a penalty opportunity. Their captain, Brazilian full-back Marcelo, made a penalty, 1:0, and Arau unexpectedly led Gosho away. Then, the Arau team set up an iron barrel array to try to keep the advantage of the ball.
Arau's iron barrel team only held on for more than 20 minutes. In the 28th minute of the game, Esposito received a cross from Sampedero's right and headed through the door of Arau, equalizing the score for Gosho.
In the 61st minute of the game, it was Esposito again. This time, he received Sartre's left cross, headed the ball to the top, and broke through the goal of Arau again, making the score 2:1.
At this time, Shalibaum, the head coach of the Arau team, had received the news that Lucerne led the Sion team by 2 goals at home, which meant that the Arau team's hope of relegation had been basically shattered. He sat weakly in the coach's seat and was too lazy to make any more adjustments. He has made up his plan to resign after the game.
In the 78th minute of the game, Hodel's long-range shot outside the penalty area gave Gosho the next city, which also locked the victory for Gosho.
Since then, both sides have no intention of fighting. The score of 3:1 remained until the end of the game, and Goshao beat Arau at home.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Gosho fans cheered. The Gosho team set a record of unbeaten victory in the Swiss Super League for the whole season, and this game was the 63rd consecutive unbeaten game of Gosho in the Swiss Super League. Gosho's unbeaten record is still continuing. This is a great Achievements!
After the game, the Swiss Football Association held a simple award ceremony for the Gosau team and awarded the championship trophy of the Swiss Super League to the captain of the Gosau team. After the Gosho fans raised the championship trophy with Avazzini and Lin Fenglei, their cheers set off a new **.
The Arau players and a few Arau fans who came to Gosho with the team were crying sadly. The Arau owed too much in the first half of the league. Although they caught up in the second half, after the last game, they still fell into the Challenger League as the bottom of the ranking.
Lin Fenglei has no time to pay attention to the sadness of the Arau team. Professional football is cruel. If you don't perform well, you have to be relegated. No one will sympathize with you. Similarly, if the Goshao team declines and is relegated one day, others will not sympathize and will only laugh. Therefore, in order not to be laughed at by others, he must keep working hard.
After the last round of the Swiss Super League, all the rankings were settled. Gosau won 28 wins, 8 draws and 92 points in 36 games, and won the league championship this season with an unbeaten record. They scored a total of 95 goals and conceded 26 goals, with the most goals and the fewest goals.
The runner-up in the league was finally won by Zurich. They scored 17 wins, 11 draws, 8 losses and 62 points. They can participate in the Champions League next season, which is also a good ending for them.
The third-ranked Basel team scored 61 points, only one point behind Zurich, and they can only participate in the UEFA Europa League next season, which makes them very depressed.
The fourth-sixth-place teams are the Zurich Grasswt, Neuchttel and the Youth Team. After sinking for several seasons, the Grasswt has re-emerged this season and entered the UEFA Europa League next season, and the Neuchateel and the Youth will also be able to participate in the UEFA Europa League next season.
The seventh and eighth places are Sion and St. galen, respectively. They have been successful in relegation this season. Although it is not satisfactory to fail to make it into the European competition, it is better than relegation.
The two teams in the relegation zone are Lucerne and Arau. The ninth Luzen team in the league can also participate in the promotion play-offs. There is great hope of staying in the Super League, and the fate of Arau will be much more tragic. If they want to be directly relegated to the challenge group league, they have to start from scratch.
On the second day of the game against Arau, Lin Fenglei led the team to Bern, the Swiss capital, where the final of the Swiss Cup will be held. On the same day, Basel also flew to Bern. The two teams will play the final of the Swiss Cup at the Capital Stadium in Bern the next day, which is also the final match of the season in Swiss football.
At 7:30 p.m. on June 2, the final of this season's Swiss Cup was held as scheduled at the Capital Stadium. Gosau and Basel also played the main force against the two sides. Compared with Lin Fenglei's usual starting lineup, Gosau's starting lineup only uses Lima to replace Antunović to start. This decision is to increase Aggressive. Second, Lima has been in good shape recently.
Sure enough, only 7 minutes after the opening, Lima received a cross pass from Horensten on the penalty area line. He decisively made a long shot. After the ball bounced to the ground, it went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Basel's Ukrainian goalkeeper Bachilević was out of reach and could only look at the ball and sigh. Lima's goal also opened the door to victory for Gosho.
Subsequently, Basel and Gosho fought against each other, but neither side could score a goal. Until the 86th minute of the game, Basel attacked and tried to equalize the score before the end of the game, but their long pass was directly interrupted by Gugelman. Next, Gugelman passed the ball directly to Hollensten in front of him. Hollensten knocked the ball to Lima, and Lima sent a straight pass from the ball, penetrating the entire defense of Basel.
Because Basel was very close and their backcourt was very empty, Egman quickly plugged in from the middle and received the pass, forming a single knife. He kept bringing the ball to the penalty area, and then shook over Basel's goalkeeper Bachilevic, hit the ball into the empty goal, and also locked the victory for Gosho.
Subsequently, Lin Fenglei made continuous substitution adjustments, exhausting the remaining few minutes. Although Basel launched a fierce offensive, there was little time left, and they had no choice but to accept the fate of failure.
As a result, Gosau easily defeated Basel 2-0 in this game, won the Swiss Cup this season, and successfully defended the Triple Crown.
The Swiss Football Association awarded the Swiss Cup trophy to the Gosau team after the game. This is the third trophy that the Gosau team has won for ten days in a row. When Avanzini and Lin Fenglei worked together to raise the trophy over their heads, the Gosau fans who came to the scene to watch the game were excited again. They shouted to bring them this The name of Lin Fenglei has been unwilling to leave for a long time.
