Chapter 2 League Situation
After loaning Rossi to Roma, Lin Fenglei gave instructions to Chedley that the transfer window of Gosho's team has been closed this season, and the purchase and rent application for any player of Gosho will no longer be accepted, nor will he buy first-team players. This can calm the hearts of all the players in the team and help them put all their minds into the game.
On July 19, Gosho went away to challenge Sion. Sion should be the most unlucky team in the Swiss Premier League last season. Last season, they ranked seventh, and there were no European games to play. On the contrary, the eighth and ninth grass-stakes and Nashatel have a UEFA Europa League to play. Of course, this also allows them to put all their energy into this season's league, which is not necessarily not. It is a good thing.
In the first round of the Swiss Super League this season, Sion lost 1:5 away to Zurich. In the second round, they met the powerful Gosho team. It can be said that their schedule in the league this season is not ideal. The media predicts that they are likely to start a two-game losing streak, which is also a big blow to their morale.
Since this week's Swiss Super League is a double match, three days later, Gosau will continue to fight away from home and challenge Basel. Therefore, Lin Fenglei hid some of the main players in the game against Sion and played against Sion with a half-main and half-replacement mixed lineup. Such a lineup also gave Sion have some courage to resist. And their resistance was almost successful. The game lasted until 70 minutes after the second half, and the score was still 0:0.
In the 79th minute of the game, Gosho's left-back Checaroni took the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Avazzini, and then ran to the bottom line. Avanzini made a wall-like cooperation with Cecalani, pushing the ball to the bottom line. Cecaroni passed the ball while running, and the ball scratched. A beautiful arc flew to the center of the penalty area. Kao Dinghuo jumped high, and a powerful header rushed to the top. The ball changed its direction, got into the goal from the upper left corner of the goal, and hit the net heavily.
Kaodingho rushed to the stands of the Gosho fans and waved his arms. He looked very excited. He was very happy to set the first record for the Gosho team in such a long-lasting and difficult game.
The Sion team had no choice but to press it up and wanted to equalize the score, but their plan to equalize became a bubble after a few minutes.
In the 85th minute of the game, Sampedero immediately passed the ball directly to Lima in the front court after breaking the ball in the midfield. Lima used his personal skills to pass the two defenders of the Sion team in a row, completely disrupted the Sion team's defense line, and then sent a precise straight plug. Kodin Huo understood that he inserted it from the middle and got With a single shot, he calmly pushed the lower right corner and rewritten the score to 2-0.
Kadingho's second goal in this game also locked the victory for Gosho. Since then, although the Sion team has made a big counterattack, there is little time left. In the end, they still failed to score even a face-recovering goal. The Goshao team successfully defeated Sion 2-0 away.
The Gosau team successfully won two consecutive victories after the start of the Swiss Super League this season, but they did not rank first. The top team was Zurich. They defeated St. Garren 4:1 away in this round. After two rounds, they also won two consecutive victories and beat Gosau with a goal difference. Ranked at the top of the table.
After Charlanders moved to Stuttgart, Zurich Club invited Gerrard, another senior coach in Switzerland. Castella took over as the head coach. After a short run-in in the off-season, the Zurich team led by Castella regained its strong combat effectiveness.
Zurich's transfer funds this season are unprecedentedly abundant. In addition to the 30 million euros TV broadcasting fee that have already been paid, there are 50 million euros brought by Lewandowski's transfer to Bayern Munich, and Castella can use nearly 100 million euros of transfer funds.
Originally, there were several rich clubs that wanted to buy Bjeka with a lot of money, but after the full retention of the club's senior management and Castella, Bjeka finally agreed to stay in the Zurich team. Of course, his salary also increased significantly, his weekly salary reached about 30,000 euros, and the goal prize also increased significantly. The increase. Of course, there is another reason why he stayed here, that is, he wants to win back the top scorer in the Swiss Super League this season.
Although Castella's transfer funds are abundant, he did not spend a lot of money, because Charlanders has built Zurich's lineup relatively complete in the past few seasons, and Castella does not want to re-integrate the lineup, which makes the Zurich team panic. After all, in a short summer off-season such as the Swiss Super League, the stability of the lineup is the guarantee of good results.
Castella just signed Jose, a young Spanish winger from Atletico Madrid, for free. Louis spent another 10 million euros to buy Brazilian central defender Jin Huo from Ajax. In addition, he did not buy anyone else. Of course, after Lewandowski's departure, he will definitely strengthen the front line, but in a hurry, he did not have any suitable goal.
In the first two games of the league, it was Nigerian veteran Oden Wenjie who partnered with Bjerica. The 34-year-old veteran has been a substitute for the past few seasons, but he played a very high level in these two games. He and Bjerica also scored three goals in two games, winning two consecutive victories for Zurich. He made a great contribution.
Lin Fenglei is not surprised by the strength of the Zurich team, because the team's lineup is also very stable. Their new head coach is also a famous player in Swiss football. He knows Swiss football very well, and his personality is also down-to-earth. He is not the kind of chaotic head coach. Zurich's current main team. Most of the players in the lineup are in the right year of play, and it's time to make achievements.
Lin Fenglei always believes that as long as the Gosho team performs well, no team can shake their position in the Swiss Super League. This confidence is accumulated by the victory he has led the Gosho team to win one after another in the past few seasons.
On July 22, Gosho went to Basel under the leadership of Lin Fenglei and challenged Basel away. Basel has achieved one win and one draw in the first two rounds of the league, and currently ranks third in the league.
In this game, Lin Fenglei also sent a semi-main and semi-replace rotation, while Basel's head coach Murat. Yakin sent a full lineup at home, and he was ambitious to block Gosho's unbeaten record at home.
This season, Yakin has invested a lot in the transfer market. He first bought a backer Bustamante from the Brazilian international team. 22-year-old Bustamante is an Argentine. He can play right-back and central defender positions. He has strong defensive ability and a good header. His joining cost Yakin has a transfer fee of 9 million euros, but his arrival has also greatly improved Basel's defense.
Next, Jakin bought the 27-year-old international of IIvoire from Feyenoord in the Netherlands, which cost him 5 million euros. Dubai is a defensive midfielder with both offensive and defensive style. His arrival can also greatly enhance Basel's midfield hardness.
However, Basel's biggest investment in this season's transfer period is the midfield and backfielder Mariano, which they bought from Corinthian in Brazil, worth 15 million euros. The 19-year-old Mariano can play in many positions such as right-back, central defender, midfielder, right-hand forward and central-back. As a young man, he has become famous in Brazil.
These transfers cost Basel nearly 30 million euros, which has been a rare big deal for them in recent seasons, but the 30 million euros spent have also greatly enhanced their strength.
In the game against Gosho, Basel was very strong as soon as it came up. It once took the initiative on the court and created several good shooting opportunities in a row in the first half. The Basel fans were also very excited. They sang loudly to cheer for Basel.
Fortunately, Gosho's defense line has been very mature and steady after several seasons of running-in. In the face of Basel's aggressive offensive, they did not panic and resolved the opponent's offensive one by one.
In the 34th minute of the game, Gosho launched an attack. Ivanovic's midfielder divided the ball to Avazzini on the left side. Avanzini advanced with the ball on the left side at high speed, continuously breaking through the defense of Basel's right forward Mariano and right defender Testa. After inward, he passed the ball to Eger at the front of the penalty area. Man.
Egman hasn't scored since the start of this season. In the first two games, he played the whole game in the first game. He had several shots, but he was not very lucky and failed to score a goal. In the second game, he did not start. He only played as a substitute for about 20 minutes in the second half and failed to score. When he scored the goal, he was already holding a breath in his heart.
After receiving Avanzini's pass, Egman turned his back to the goal, leaned on Bustamante, and then suddenly turned around and waved his legs to volley. It was the first time for Bustamante to play against Egman. Although he had seen a lot of videos of Egman's game before the game and attached great importance to Egman's strength, but In this defense, he still underestimated Egman's strength. Egman blocked Bustamante behind him with his right hand and immediately turned around and volleyed.
Basel goalkeeper Fitzkenshe was very focused. After seeing Egman swing his legs, he began to move, and then jumped into the air. He rushed to the ball very comfortably, but Egman's shot was too fast and the angle was too tricky. The ball rubbed his fingertips into the upper right corner of the goal.
