Chapter 5 Record Battle
Zurich's head coach Castella was also interviewed by reporters. He said to the reporter, "First of all, I have to congratulate Gosau, who have tied the longest consecutive unbeaten record in the European League, which is an amazing record. But I still have to say that I will do my best to prevent them from setting new records, and I will not allow the Zurich team I lead to become a stepping stone for them to set records!"
"There is no doubt that Gosau is currently one of the strongest teams in Switzerland and even Europe. This game is at their home. It is very difficult to stop them from setting records, but I think we are not completely free of opportunities. Because the Zurich team is also in very good shape now. Now after five rounds, it is still the Zurich team at the top of the table. My young men are in good shape and full of fighting spirit. And the Gosho team is now standing at the door of the record. No one knows whether their psychology will change or what kind of change will happen. They may be overwhelmed by the pressure of setting a record, or they may be distracted elsewhere because they are about to set a record. In a word, anything can happen in a game. Who knows?
The key players of the two teams were also interviewed by reporters. Zurich's top scorer, Bjelica, said, "I won't let them step on us to set a new record!" His words were very brief, but they showed his determination.
Brazilian striker Marcelinho, who has just joined Zurich, told reporters: "Have they been unbeaten for 04 consecutive games in the league? Wow, that's a great achievement! Is it the longest unbeaten record in a row in the European League? So, we may set a new record in this game for them, which is really cool. Oh, no, I'm not saying that it's cool that they set a new record. I'm saying that we can stop the birth of a great record with our own hands. It's so cool. I will definitely score in this game!" After saying this, Marcelinho also crossed a cross and prayed devoutly.
Although as a South American player, Marcelinho's way of speaking is a little sane, he also expressed his determination to block Gosau.
Avazzini, the captain of the Gosho team, said: "Are they now at the top of the table? That's because they haven't met us yet. After this game is over, they won't stay in the first place. As for the record, since we have come this far, of course we have to set a record. This is our best time, and I hope to write the name of the Gosho team after all the records that can be set!"
Avazzini showed a rare high profile. This is because their opponent this time is Zurich. In the first five rounds, Gosho's excellent performance can only rank second after Zurich, which makes the Gosho players hold their breath and eager to meet Zurich as soon as possible so that he can They pulled down from the first place, and this game happened to be the game where they could break the longest consecutive unbeaten record in the European League, which made them more full of fighting spirit.
Egman told the reporter: "I'm very happy to meet the Zurich team when we set the record, which gives us another reason why we have to win. For this game, I have nothing else to say. I will definitely score, and I will defeat the Zurich team, put the Gosau team at the top of the table, and Create a record. That's it!"
......
The comments of the head coaches and players of both sides before the game made the game tense and full of gunpowder, which made everyone believe that this game will be a collision like Mars hitting the earth, and it will be particularly wonderful.
Because this game is a focus battle, it is scheduled for August 9th, Sunday night, which is also the latest end of this round of the Swiss Super League. This time is also the prime time for TV broadcast. In such a game, the TV station will certainly regard it as the highlight and put it at the best time.
On August 8, the day before the start of the game, Castella led the Zurich team to Gosau, which showed the importance Castella attached to the game. After coming to Gosau, Castella asked the Zurich team to start closed training and declined the reporter's interview, so that the players could put all their mind on the game.
Lin Fenglei did not do this. The training of the Gosho team is still open to reporters, but it can only be watched off the court. Reporters are not allowed to interview players directly. This is also to prevent players from being distracted.
All the famous and non-famous sports media in Europe have sent capable reporters to Gosau to interview the peak battle, hoping to witness the record-setting moment of the Goshao team at the first time.
On the evening of August 9, the high-profile game officially began. Swiss National Sports 1 broadcast the game live. Their ace commentator Ralph is introducing the game to the audience: "Dear viewers, fans in front of the TV, what we will broadcast live today is In the focus of the sixth round of the Swiss Super League this season, the two sides are Zurich and Gosau, which are currently ranked first and second in the table respectively. The venue is Gosau's home Thunder Stadium.
"Zurich and Gosau have also won all five games in the first five rounds of the league, but Zurich has one more goal than Gosau, so they are at the top of the table, and Gosau can only take second place, so this game is the top battle, and there is also a very The big highlight is that the Gosau team has not lost 104 consecutive games in the Swiss Super League before this game. This number has equaled the longest unbeaten record in the European League set by the Bucharest Stars of Romania between 1986 and 1989. If Gosau can win at home today or If they draw with the Zurich team, they will enjoy this record alone, which will be a great achievement. Oh, my God, thinking about it that the Gosho team hasn't lost in the league for so long, I, a commentator who often explains their games, will feel incredible!"
"Of course, the Zurich team will certainly not be willing to give up the top position in the table, let alone let the Gosho team step on its own body to create such a dazzling record. The Zurich team has said that it will end Gosho's unbeaten record. Therefore, this game is bound to be splashed and wonderful.
"Now the two teams have entered the playing field and are ready to start the game. Let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, the starting lineup of the home team Gosho. Their starting goalkeepers are Chekareli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Gugelman, centre-back is the combination of Salihovic and Chevali, left winger Avantsini, right winger Horensten, and midfielder Antunović. In front of him is Ivanovic, and the striker is also a combination of Egman and Codinjo. This starting lineup is also the most commonly used starting lineup for Gosho in the past few seasons.
"Zurich's starting lineup is goalkeeper Miller, left-back Rochart, right-back Sereda, central defenders are Kinjo and Staher, midfielder Salami, two central forwards are Shaqiri and Spalf, front midfielder Marcelinho, and two strikers are Bjericka and Hove. Er. Today, Coach Castella put Marcelinho in the front waist position, and in the first two games he played for Zurich, he appeared in the striker position. Today, Coach Castella's formation is estimated to want Marcelinho's position to be a little lower and give better play to his explosive and fast speed. . "
"With the whistle of the referee on duty, the game officially began. In the first half of the game, the visiting team Zurich kicked off first, and they will attack from right to left in the first half."
After the kick-off, the Zurich team launched an offensive immediately. After a few passes, the ball passed to the foot of Marcelinho at the front of the penalty area. Marcelinho wanted to use his excellent personal skills to defend Antunović, but he made several bicycle movements in a row, but he failed to deceive. After Antunović, he was finally given the opportunity by Antunović. A fierce front tackle and shoveled the ball off from the feet of Marcelinho.
For Antunović, Maserinho's fake moves are not enough. At least, there is still a big gap in Marcelinho's skills compared with Lima, who trains with him every day.
The ball was shoveled off and fell at Shaqiri's feet. Shaqiri made a long-range shot 35 meters away from the goal, but his shot failed to suppress the goal. The ball was higher than the crossbar and did not pose any threat to Chekareli.
Lin Fenglei frowned. Judging from the first attack after the opening, the Zurich players are very excited and in good shape. It seems that they have extra motivation to end Gosho's record in this game. Today's game is not easy to play.
In addition, Lin Fenglei is also dissatisfied with the poor protection of the second landing point by other Gosho players after Antunović's successful tackle just now. How can he let Shaqiri take a long shot in such a position without defense? Lin Fenglei couldn't help standing up and walking to the court.
However, Lin Fenglei did not immediately shout at the players, but observed the situation on the court on the sidelines. After looking at it for a while, he found that the midfield setting of the Zurich team today was different from before. Their two full-back positions were closer to the middle, which showed a strong attack on the middle. In this way, there are four midfielders in Zurich in the middle, which puts a lot of pressure on Antunović's defense.
