Chapter 9 The first game of the group match

Lin Fenglei did not know that he had placed the expectations of many originally neutral fans, and the Gosho team had become a symbol of resistance to power. However, if he knew, he would be happy, because this means that Gosho has won the support of another group of fans, and the support of fans is the foundation of a club.

On the second day of the lottery ceremony, Lin Fenglei returned to Gosho. The group situation has been determined, and the group stage is about to begin. Lin Fenglei has to quickly return to the team to prepare for the group stage.

The schedule of the group stage is as follows. On Tuesday, September 16, Gosho will challenge one of the weakest opponents in the group, Olympiacos of Greece; on Wednesday, October 1, Gosho will play against Naples at home; on October 22, Gosho will continue to play Dortmund at home; On November 4, Gosau will challenge Dortmund away; on November 26, Gosau will play against Olympiacos at home; in the last round of the group match on December 9, Gosau will challenge Naples away.

Now it is only a little more than half a month before the first game of the group stage. Now Lin Fenglei and Goshao's coaching team are going to work intensively collect opponent's intelligence, formulate tactics, and arrange targeted training. It can be said that there is not much time.

While preparing for the Champions League group stage, the Swiss Super League cannot be underestimated. After all, the league is the foundation of a team. If the league results are not good, there is no way to talk about anything else.

On September 3, Gosho went away to challenge the youth team. The young team made great progress in the qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League this year and made all the way to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, but the price paid was that their results in the league had plummeted. They had lost three games in the first seven rounds, and now they are only ranked seventh in the league table.

Of course, Ford, the head coach of the youth team, whose main goal at the beginning of the season was to enter the UEFA Europa League group stage, so the club can tolerate the poor league results. Now that they have entered the UEFA Europa League group stage, the club has made requirements for the league results. After all, the youth team is a Swiss tradition. One of the strong, the current results are a little too dazzling, and they are almost close to the relegation zone.

Ford gave a death order before the game against Gosho. He can't lose any more in this game. Players with poor performance will sit on the cold bench in the next game.

Under such high pressure, the players of the young team used their lives and launched a tenacious resistance against the Gosho team.

In the 21st minute, Gosho was wrapped up by Lima in the penalty area and received a header from Kadinho, which opened the first record for Gosho.

However, the youth team immediately launched a fierce offensive and equalized the score for the youth team with a header from Hungarian striker Pastor five minutes later.

After equalizing the score, the young team retreated and worked together. They did not lose the ball again in the next 75 minutes.

In the 78th minute, Avanzini received Ivanovic's backcourt ball and made a back pass to help Egman head the ball and rewrite the score to 2:1.

In the last ten minutes, Ford replaced the offensive player in a row, and the young team launched a crazy offensive. However, Gosho's goalkeeper Chekaleri performed steadily. His high catch and low blocks protected the city. In the end, the young team failed to score again, and they had to drink hatred at home.

After defeating the youth team 2:1 away, the Gosho team has also won eight consecutive victories in the league since the start of the season. Such a crazy state also scared the whole Switzerland. Swiss football world began to lament again. Who can stop Gosho?

Peret, the head coach of St. Garren, the opponent of Gosho's ninth round, made a bold statement that they would stop Gosho's crazy state.

Although St. Argens did not perform well last season and their former head coach Morinini also resigned, their new head coach Peret seems to have inherited Morinini's hostility to Gosau.

In fact, it is not surprising that Perret did this, because St. Garon is too close to Gosho. They want to compete for the fans in the region, so the two teams are natural enemies.

After Peret made such a bold statement, he immediately won more support from the local hardcore fans in St. Garren. Originally, Peret led the team this season very well. At present, he has four wins, three draws and one loss and 15 points in eight rounds, ranking second in the standings. This result has made their fans overjoyed. After Perret made tough remarks about Gosau, he quickly made the fans of St. Garren forget the head coach Mourini last season.

Lin Fenglei did not respond to Perrett's remarks. He believes that such remarks are not worth his time and energy to respond to. His attention is now more focused on the first game of the UEFA Champions League group match against Olympiacos three days later.

On September 13, Gosau challenged St. Garren away. Lin Fenglei sent almost all the substitutes in this game, and St. Garren's main force did their best. They fought fiercely with Gosau in this game.

The two teams played very poorly in this game, and St. Garren's small moves and fouls continued to make Gosho's offensive completely unorganized.

Until the 42nd minute of the game, the Gosho team got a free kick at the top of the arc of the penalty area. Ribeiro took the penalty. Ribeiro did not run. After the referee whistled that he could take a penalty, he quickly swung his left foot and rubbed a foot of the arc ball. The ball could cross the wall, and then drilled. In the upper left corner of the goal, the goalkeeper of St. Garren did not respond.

Ford's face was not good-looking. He didn't expect that the Gosau team would only send a substitute team. With St. Garren's all out, they could still be ahead of St. Garren.

At the beginning of the second half, Ford replaced two offensive players in a row, and St. Gallen launched a fierce counterattack. In the 67th minute of the second half, St. Gallen's Senegalese striker Cole picked up a goal in front of the goal, and the scores of the two teams became a 1:1 draw.

Since then, both sides still had a chance to score goals, but in the end, no more goals were scored. The two teams shook hands 1:1.

This is also the first draw of the Gosho team in the first nine rounds of the league. They still top the list with a record of eight wins and one draw in nine rounds, but St. Garren fell to the third place because of this draw. Zurich surpassed them by one point and reached the second place in the table.

Although the Gosau team did not lose, a draw also gave Swiss football a long sigh of relief. The Gosau team finally stopped their winning streak. If they continue to win in a row, the champion of the Swiss Super League this season will lose the suspense early.

St. Garren's head coach Ford said confidently at the post-match press conference that as long as he stayed in St. Garren for a few seasons, he was confident to overthrow the dominance of the Gosau team in the Swiss Super League. This game forced Gosau to draw and end the Gosau's winning streak. Evidence.

Lin Fenglei was not interested in fighting with Ford. He complimented the St. Garren team, saying that they did play well today, and then hurriedly left the press conference. He had to rush back to Gosau to prepare for the Champions League group match with Olympiacos in three days.

The day before the game against Olympiacos, Lin Fenglei led the team to Athens, the capital of Greece, where their first opponent in the group stage, the base camp of Olympiacos.

Olympiacos is a traditional strong team in Greece and the most popular team among fans in Greece. They have the best results in Greece and basically participate in the Champions League every year. They have rich experience in European competitions.

Although Riompiakos is basically the weakest opponent in this group, Lin Fenglei will still not take it lightly. The opponent is experienced in European games and is also a home game. If there is any thought of underesightness, it is not a fantasy for Gosho's overturning the ship in the gutter.

At the mobilization meeting before the game, Lin Fenglei gave the players a preventive injection, so that they must treat the first game carefully, make sure to win the opponent smoothly, and make a good start for this season's Champions League. In this way, the following games will be much better.
