Chapter 73 Mourinho's Provocation
After losing the game, the Barcelona players' faces were as dead. Some players even sat on the court after the game, covering their faces and shed sad tears, while Messi walked straight into the locker room with a blank face.
And Gosho players cheered like a tsunami in the fans. * Head coach Lin Fenglei raised it together and threw it into the sky. They were celebrating this hearty victory in this way.
The Gosau team's home victory over Barcelona shocked the whole European football world. In this game, the Gosau team not only defeated Barcelona in terms of score, but also won the content of the game. Barcelona seemed to have no power to fight back in this game. They were firmly suppressed by Gosau at both ends of the attack and defense. All the data are at a disadvantage. The only advantage is that the ball possession rate is a few percentage points higher than that of Gosho, but their ball possession rate is spent most of the time in the midfield and backcourt.
Such a complete defeat is extremely rare in Barcelona's game. In the past, even if they lost, they would have an advantage on the scene. They could accuse their opponents of setting up a bus or something. However, after this game, Barcelona had no excuse at all. The Gosho team relied on its dignified battle. The ground attack hit them 4-0. It can be said that Barcelona lost without a temper.
Barcelona was collectively silent after this game, but there is nothing they can do. What else can they say now? Say that the opponent won disgraceful? I'm afraid they can't say such shameless words. Say they can turn the table after returning home? I'm afraid that the most optimistic Barcelona players can't be optimistic. Do you still want to turn the game 4:0? This means that they want to win five goals for Gosho at home. Whoever wants to say that they can win five goals for Gosho is afraid that everyone will think he is crazy.
As a result, Barcelona has been sentenced to death by everyone, and the betting company now does not accept whether they can enter the Champions League final this season.
The second day of this game, another game in the Champions League semi-final of this season was also over. Chelsea at home defeated Schalke 04 2-0 and took the lead in the two-round knockout rounds.
After this game, the Gosho team also ushered in good news. Hodel's recovery after surgery is very ideal and has returned to the club. When Lin Fenglei heard the news, he was very happy and went to the training ground to meet Hodel at the first time.
I haven't seen him for more than two months. Hodel hasn't changed much, but he inevitably gained some weight. There's nothing he can do. After all, he hasn't had systematic training for more than two months.
Lin Fenglei laughed and walked to Hodel and said, "Good boy, it looks good! Is there anything wrong with your leg now? How do you feel?"
Hodel smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, boss! The operation was successful and the recovery was ideal. I feel very good now. As long as I follow the team for a few days of restorative training and lose weight, I can play the game.
Lin Fenglei patted Hodel on the shoulder and said, "Well, this body is okay. You should train well these days. There will be many opportunities for you to compete in the future. Don't worry!"
Hodel's return is certainly good news. Now that the season has come to an end, it is very rare for the Gosho team to have no injured person at this time, which means that Lin Fenglei has more room for player rotation.
On April 23, Gosho played against Lucerne at home. This was the 31st round of the Swiss Super League. Lin Fenglei sent most of the substitutes in this game. Only Ivanovic failed to play because of the suspension of yellow cards in the game against Barcelona. In this game, Lin Fenglei sent him to start. To fight, this is also to maintain his state. He played the front midfielder in this game, and the starting midfielder was Zampedero.
Only two minutes after the game began, Gosho's left winger Sartre dribbled the ball on the left side. Seeing that there was no good chance in the penalty area, he knocked the ball back to the follow-up Chekaroni. Chekarani's big foot transferred the ball to Ivanovic's feet in the middle, and Ivanovic's horse * ball was given to Clement, who was inserted on the right. After Clement shook a defender with the ball, he passed a low flat ball to the middle. Zhou Guodong, who was on the line of the penalty area, shot directly. The ball got into the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, 1:0. Zhou Guodong scored the leading goal for the Goshao team early.
In the 28th minute of the game, Gross, the right winger of Gosho, used his excellent skills to shake a defender and then passed the ball to Zhou Guodong in front of him. Zhou Guodong knocked back in the middle. After getting the ball, Ivanovic made a slight adjustment, he raised his foot and hit a world wave 35 meters away. The ball hung straight. In the upper left corner of the goal, although Lucerne goalkeeper Bridge made a save, the ball was so fast that he could only look at the ball and sigh.
In the following game of the first half, both sides had some chances to score, but they didn't grasp it. The two teams entered the halftime with a score of 2-0.
In the second half, Gosho continued to maintain the pressure on Lucerne. In the 75th minute, after Lopez got Ivanovic's pass from the left rib, he shook Bregu, the central defender of Lucerne, who was watching him, with his personal skills. Seeing that Lopez was about to rush into the penalty area, Bregu had no choice but to reach out and pull Lopez down. The referee on duty, Studell did not hesitate to Boo. Regu showed a yellow card. Since Bregu already had a yellow card in the previous game, he turned two yellow and one red and was sent off.
Avanzini, who had just been replaced, came forward to take the free kick. After Studel blew the whistle, Avanzini kicked the free kick after running. After the ball crossed the wall with a clear arc, it drilled into the upper left corner of the goal, and Bridge was blocked by the wall. He failed to make anything. The reaction is that you can only send the ball into the net.
In the 87th minute of the game, Zhou Guodong's pass after breaking through from the right side was blocked by the defender. Gosho got a corner kick opportunity. Sampedro took the corner kick. His corner kick was pushed by Lucerne's central defender and fell on the penalty line. Zhou Guodong got the ball. He made a horse * ball. It was scored on the right again. Sampedro, who had just finished the corner kick, stopped the ball and passed it directly. Ivanovic inserted it and headed the ball to the goal. The ball wiped the right post of the goal and flew into the net. This was Ivanovic's second goal in this game.
In the end, with Ivanovic's excellent performance, Gosho defeated Lucerne 4-0 at home and won another victory.
In several other games in this round, the Arau team was cold away from home. They defeated the Zurich Grassheads 1-0, while the Zurich team defeated the third-ranked Neuchtel with a 3-0 away game. Because the third- or fourth-ranked Neuchatell and the Grass-sapter did not get points, Zurich led them to the third place. The point advantage has expanded to 11 points. With only five rounds left in the league, Zurich has almost ensured its qualification to directly enter the Champions League group stage next season.
St. Gallons lost to the youth team away from home. In this way, the point gap between them and the eighth Lucerne team is 10 points, which is almost hopeless. After the Arau team won this round, the point gap between them and St. Gallons is only 5 points. It is not known which team will be directly relegated.
After playing against Lucerne, Lin Fenglei led the Gosho team to Barcelona, Spain, to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals on April 27. He did not take this game lightly, nor did he think that it was just a walk-through, as many media said.
In an interview with reporters, Lin Fenglei said: "I don't think Gosho is sure to have entered the final of the Champions League this season, because Barcelona is a strong team, especially at Camp Nou, their home stadium, and they usually play well. In the history of the UEFA Champions League, there is also a good show of a big reversal. So I will never take it lightly. I will let my players go all out to play as if we were behind.
And the Barcelona team refused to be interviewed by reporters before the game. Yes, what can they say now? Admit your failure? With their pride, they won't say such a thing.
On April 26, another match in the Champions League semi-finals ended. The Schalke 04 team, which played at home, broke out a strong fighting power at home. It was not until the 85 minutes of the game that they led Chelsea 3-0, almost eliminated Chelsea out. Unfortunately, the game went to the 8th. In 6 minutes, Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Oscar scored a goal for Chelsea and made the score 1:3. Although in the last few minutes, Schalke 04 formed a siege against Chelsea's goal and almost expanded the score several times, Chelsea tenaciously kept the score of 1:3. At the end of the game, he eliminated Schalke 04 with the advantage of away goals and took the lead in the Champions League final.
After the game, Mourinho, who escaped from death, immediately announced his challenge to Lin Fenglei: "We will wait for Gosho in the final, hoping that they will not be overturned by Barcelona in Camp Nou. Regarding the debate about who is the best football coach in Europe now, I think it's time to have a result. I hope to use this Champions League final to decide!"
Lin Fenglei did not respond to Mourinho's challenge. He excused all the reporters' interviews with the excuse that he had to concentrate on preparing for the game now.
