Chapter 76 Six Encounters in Zurich
After making that comment, Lin Fenglei no longer paid attention to that matter. The Champions League final was held on May 21. Before that, the Gosho team still had five games to play. Lin Fenglei still had a lot of work to do, so he didn't have time to pay attention to those boring extreme fans.
On May 1, Gosau team went away to challenge the promoted Ma Arau team. Because Gosau team will play a semi-final of the Swiss Cup with Zurich three days later, Lin Fenglei sent a large number of rotating players in this game, and Arau also fought desperately with Gosau for that glimmer of hope of relegation. At one time, it forced the Gosho team to be in a hurry.
In the 15th minute, Arau's Czech midfielder Marek. Susi used a long-range shot from the penalty area to set the first record for the Arau team. After taking the lead, the Arau team recovered the whole line. In order to keep the lead of the goal, they fought with the Gosho team on every inch of their half. The desperate posture made Lin Fenglei a little scared. Gosho's ball Every time the member fell to the ground, he was worried about whether he would get hurt.
In such a hand-to-hand battle, the players of Gosho still withstood the test. In the 43rd minute of the game, after Gosho's foot in the midfield, Sampedero took a chance and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a long pass. Lopez was in that place, and the defenders of the Arau suddenly went down. Consciousness focused on that place, but Lopez did not stop the ball. He sent the ball a little and returned the ball back to the feet of Curie, who hit the front waist. Curie kept passing the ball directly over the top and picked the ball into the penalty area. Zhou Guodong understood and inserted it into the penalty area from the crowd and suddenly got the one who directly facing the goal. Opportunity, of course, he will not waste such an opportunity. In the face of the goalkeeper of the Arau team, he calmly hit the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, which also equalized the score for the Gosho team.
The two teams entered the half-time break with a score of 1:1. After 15 minutes of half-time, the two teams changed sides and fought again. At the beginning of the second half, Lin Fenglei's worries became a reality. The Alao team's playing method was still fierce. Their fierce interception caused Lopez to be injured in the 56th minute. Lin Feng Ray had to replace Lopez with Codingho.
Although the team doctor said that Lopez's injury was not serious and he could rest for at most two weeks, Lin Fenglei was still very unhappy. Other Gosho players also aroused anger because of Lopez's injury. The Gosho team, who did not have much idea about this game, launched a fierce offensive.
In order to avoid relegation, the Alao team resisted, but after all, the Gosho team is still superior in strength. In the 80th minute of the game, the right winger Gross of the Gosho team pushed the ball to the 30-meter area of the Arau team on the right side and passed the ball to the foot of Sam Pedro in the middle. Sampedro took the opportunity to send a shot. Direct pass, Zhou Guodong on the penalty area received the ball and knocked back to Clement, who inserted an assist on the right side. Clement passed the ball directly at 45 degrees. The quality of this pass was very high. He directly found Kao Dinghuo on the left side of the small penalty area. Kao Dinghuo shook his head, and the ball went straight into the bottom of the net. The Goshao team finally overtook the score.
In the subsequent game, the Arau team did not have much fighting spirit. They did not launch an effective counterattack, and the Gosau team was not very lucky and could not expand the score. In the end, the Arau team lost 1:2 at home to the Gosau team. Although St. Garren also lost the game in this round, they and St. The gap between Gallen's points is still five points.
In this round of the same-city derby, Zurich defeated the Grasswt Grasswt by 2-0, and is still 11 points ahead of the third-ranked young team. With the remaining four rounds of the league, they have basically locked in a place to enter the group stage of the Champions League next season.
On the second day after the game against Arau, Lin Fenglei led Gosau to Zurich. Two days later, Gosau will challenge Zurich here. This is a semi-final match of the Swiss Cup. The two teams will compete for a place to reach the final.
This will be the sixth match between the two teams this season, and it is very coincidental that they will play another game at the home of Gosho team four days after the cup semi-finals, which is the 33rd round of the league and their seventh match of the season.
The two teams have played against each other seven times in a season, and they are all official matches. This situation is also very rare in world football, which also shows that Zurich and Gosau are now competing on all fronts. Of course, so far, Gosau has occupied a very obvious position in the competition between the two teams. The advantage is that in the first five matches between the two teams this season, the Gosau team's score is four wins and one draw. Although the Zurich team is also making progress in these five matches and performing better one by one, at present, their strength is still a certain gap with the Gosau team, and more progress is needed to compete with Gosau. .
Originally, Lin Fenglei could send all the main players in this game. There is no problem with the state and physical fitness of the Gosau team's main players, but Lin Fenglei once promised that this season's Swiss Cup will keep young players playing, even in the final, all young players. So he didn't want to break his promise in this semi-final.
In this game, he sent a starting lineup that was almost exactly the same as the previous rounds of the Swiss Cup. There was only one person, that was, Lopez. He was injured in the game against Arau and was suspended for two weeks. Lin Fenglei replaced him with Egman.
Of course, the Zurich team has sent all the main players, but they played a fierce derby with the Zurich Grasswzards in the league three days ago, which consumed a lot. So far, they have not fully recovered at all, so they can't see any obvious advantage against the young players against Gosho on the court. On the contrary, The young players of the Gosau team are not afraid of tigers, but they play well with the Zurich team on the court and do not fall behind at all.
Zurich head coach Castella certainly hopes to win this game, not to mention that it is related to a championship, but to play seven games with Gosho in a season, you can't win every game, right? That's too shabby. But now he is looking at the situation on the court and is crying without tears. The Zurich players are exhausted, and the young people of the Gosau team are energetic and the contrast is too big.
He knows why Zurich players are like this, because the last game was the Zurich derby, which is a game that Zurich fans can't lose, and this game is also about whether they can stabilize the second place in the standings, so the two teams fought very fiercely, although they won the grass in the end. The Bitch Team is also exhausted.
The Gosho team turned away and completely occupied the initiative on the court. If it hadn't been for the excellent performance of Zurich's goalkeeper Miller, I'm afraid their goal would have been sifted long ago.
However, no matter how excellent Miller's performance is, he is also a little overwhelmed in the face of the Gosho team's waves of attacks. In the 39th minute of the game, Sam Pedro passed directly to Gu'Ric in the midfield. Curieci passed to Gross on the right side. Gross pushed the ball on the side. After a two-to-one cooperation with Curie, he broke through the left defense of the Zurich team, and then passed the ball to Egman at the front of the penalty area. At his feet, Egman stopped the ball and carried away the golden ho who defended him. He turned around and pulled the ball horizontally and shot angrily. The ball rushed into the upper left corner of the goal with the sound of wind and thunder. Although Miller's reaction was fast, the manpower was sometimes poor. His save did not work at all. Gosho first broke the deadlock.
Only 5 minutes later, Gosho made a comeback. A counterattack of Zurich went offside. Gosho got a free kick in the backcourt. Chekareli took the free kick. He kicked the ball to the penalty area of Zurich. Zhou Guodong grabbed the first landing point on the penalty area line. At this time, Zurich's back The defense made a serious mistake. Their two central defenders rushed to the ball landing point, and Zhou Guodong headed the ball to the left. Egman got the ball unguarded. He took the opportunity to enter the penalty area. Facing the attacking Miller, Egman easily hit the ball into the lower left corner of the goal for the Gosau team. The lead has been expanded.
In the defense of this ball, the Zurich team has really made too serious mistakes. The mistake of watching the ball and not looking at people is usually made by amateur players, but it appears in their level of games, which directly led to Egman's easy scoring. It can be imagined that the current state of Zurich. How bad it is.
Castella was furious on the sidelines. He roared loudly and angrily scolded Jin Huo, who had made a big mistake, making Jin Huo unable to raise his head. Originally, as soon as Kinjo arrived in Zurich this season, he immediately became the core of Zurich's defense, and he was also a player that Castella liked very much. Now even he has been scolded to death. Everyone knows how unhappy Castella is now.
Castella's roar was so loud that the game supervisor had to warn him, and Castella returned to the coach's seat.
Maybe they were scolded by Castella. In the remaining few minutes of the first half, Zurich not only did not lose another goal, but almost scored a goal. They took advantage of the laxity of Gosho's 2-0 lead. Marcelinho passed three people in a row in the middle and beautifully stuffed the ball directly to Bjelika, Bjelika. The ball broke into the penalty area and shot low from the far corner. Unfortunately, Checarelli performed very well. He fell to the ground and saved the ball out of the bottom line.
Then Zurich took a corner kick and was headed out of the penalty area by Pereda, and the referee immediately blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
