Chapter 50 First Defeat in the League
Copenhagen is a traditional strong team in Denmark. They have European games to play almost every season. The experience of European games can be said to be extremely rich. However, as a small league team, their player loss is also very serious, so there are no outstanding players in their team. In terms of strength, they are not as good as the current Gosho, but because they are fighting away, Lin Fenglei still formulated the tactics of defensive counterattack, and strives not to lose in the away game. It would be the best to get an away goal.
On February 16, the first round of the knockout match of the first round of the UEFA Cup against Copenhagen was held in heavy rain. Copenhagen's home drainage system was okay, but there was still a lot of water on the grass, so the game was very difficult. Copenhagen launched a fierce attack on the Gosho team from the beginning, but the results were not great. The heavy rain made the players lose control of the ball, and also made the players often wrestle. This scene often made the fans in front of the TV laugh, but the players on both sides of the court obviously did not find anything funny. They just felt bitter. It's unbearable. It's not a good job to play in such a cold day and such a bad situation, but in order to advance to the next round of the League Cup, they can only fight.
The bad court conditions made the players of both teams make frequent mistakes. In the 33rd minute, a funny scene happened. The Copenhagen player throws an out-of-bounds ball in the backcourt. When the receiver stopped the ball, the ball slipped over his foot, and behind him was Gosho's striker Egman. Egman laughed at the big gift. He turned around and rushed to the goal with the ball. As soon as he reached the front of the penalty area, he shot hard before the opponent's defender fell to the ground and shoveled the ball, and the ball entered the net.
Lin Fenglei jumped up excitedly off the court. Although this goal was a gift from the other side, it was not beautiful. It was just an accident, but the goal was a goal, and it was a valuable away goal, which would be of great significance to Gosho's promotion to the next round. Lin Fenglei didn't care how the goal was scored.
After this goal, the players from both sides fell into a fierce and wonderful competition. Although there were many mistakes, no team could seize the opportunity to make mistakes. Time gradually reached the 89th minute. Gosho got a free kick on the right side of the front court. After Avanzini made a free kick, As soon as Otterson, the centre-back defender who competed for the header in the Copenhagen penalty area, jumped, he felt that his feet were slipping. He, who lost his center of gravity, instinctively reached out and tried to grab something to prevent him from falling, but he grabbed Kadingho and directly fell Kaodingho into the penalty area. Of course, he himself did not get rid of the fate of falling. This It made him very uncomfortable, but what made him more uncomfortable was that the referee rushed up with a sharp whistle and pointed his finger to the penalty point.
Otterson jumped up from the ground. This time he slipped on the soles of his feet and fell down. This funny scene made many viewers in front of the TV laugh. Otterson couldn't care about this. He got up from the ground and ran to the referee and said to him, "Mr. referee, you can't brag like this, I I didn't mean it just now. I just lost my balance. Do you know the instinct?
The referee said to Otterson seriously, "I don't care what instinct is, I only know that you did foul. Of course, I know you didn't mean it, otherwise I should have shown you a yellow card.
Otterson wanted to say anything more, but under the threat of the referee's yellow card, he stopped knowingly and was pulled out of the penalty area by his teammates. Antunović walked to the penalty spot and still scored the penalty blankly.
After a 2-0 victory away from home, Lin Fenglei led the team back to Gosho with satisfaction. Now Gosho can be said to have entered the next round with one foot. However, Gosau also paid the price for this victory. After returning from Copenhagen, Lima and Horenstein began to have a fever. They were diagnosed with a cold by the team doctor and had to rest for at least a week, which meant that Gosho would lack these two important players in the next home game against Copenhagen. Lin Fenglei was very helpless. The cold rain in Copenhagen was really terrible. Fortunately, only two people were hit. If a few more people caught a cold, they would have to be blind.
On February 19, Goshao challenged the promoted Ma Arau away from home. Arau is now also wandering outside the relegation circle. In the face of a large number of substitutes, they all played a defensive counterattack at home, making Gosho unable to return for 90 minutes. Instead, they were hit by Arau several threatening counterattacks and almost lost points. In the end, the two teams Interchange white papers with 0:0. This result made Arau very satisfied. They got 1 point against the leader, which was very important for their relegation. Lin Fenglei was not so satisfied, because Zurich defeated his opponent and narrowed the point gap between the two teams to 6 points, but he couldn't do anything about it. The rotation lineup will definitely be poor in stability. Some, but it is necessary to rotate.
On February 23, Gosau played against Copenhagen at home for the second round of the first round of the knockout round of the UEFA Cup. Lin Fenglei sent all the main players except Lima and Hollensten. What caught him off guard was that Copenhagen launched the game against Gosho as soon as he opened the game. The attack, and the Norwegian striker Abdlauer scored a goal in the 13th minute, bringing the score to 1:2, followed by two threatening shots, which made the young Gosho a little confused.
Fortunately, Kabbanas and Kufre used loud roars and fierce defense to make the players gradually stabilize their positions and gradually suppress their opponents back. After all, Gosho's strength is still dominant now.
In the 31st minute, Avazzini, who played the right winger in this game, made a 45-degree diagonal pass near the midfield. Egman grabbed the header and scored the goal. The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and entered the net. Egman equalized the score for Gosho. This goal made Copenhagen's momentum stagnate and gave Lin Fenglei a reasuring. Pills.
In the 58th minute, Ivanovic, who started in Lima, made a precise straight shot to help Kadinjo score a goal. This goal overtook Gosho and completely extinguished Copenhagen's attempt to reverse.
In the subsequent game, both teams had no achievements, and Goshao successfully advanced to the next round with a total score of 4:1 in the two rounds. Gosho's opponent in the next round is Ligue 1 overlord Lyon.
I still attach great importance to this opponent, Lin Fenglei. Lyon should also be one of the biggest teams in the League Cup, but at this time, Gosho has nothing to be afraid of. Let's fight one by one.
On the third day after the elimination of Copenhagen, Gosau continued to play against Sion at home. With the goals of Esposito and Lima, who recovered from a cold, Gosau defeated his opponent 2-0 and continued to maintain the score gap of 6 points against Zurich.
In the best selection in February, Lin Fenglei was not selected as the best coach, and the best player was also won by Polish striker Lewandowski in Zurich. There was nothing he could do. Gosho drew two games in the league this month, and Zurich's performance was obviously better.
On March 4, Gosho challenged the Zurich Grasshoppers, which had been suffering from internal and external troubles recently. To everyone's surprise, the Grasshoppers, which was deeply involved in the relegation circle, burst out with great energy. At home, Goshao was 3-2. Although Gosho still sent a semi-main and semi-replacement lineup, this is also the game. A team did this for the first time in the Swiss domestic competition of the season.
After the start of this game, Kao Dinghuo scored two goals for Gosho in the first half, but after the start of the second half of the game, the Grasswthorns, who were forced into a desperate situation, played the best half goal since the beginning of the season. They completely suppressed the Gosho team and scored three goals in a row, which staged a great reversal.
After the game, Geiger, the head coach of the Grasswt Grasswt, began to be arrogant again. He said that the Grasswtraps would be on track from the wonderful game of reversing the leader and give full play to the strength of the team.
Lin Fenglei faced the excited faces of the reporters and said lightly: "I don't think it's a bad thing for Gosho's unbeaten record. This will make Gosho's players throw an unnecessary burden and play lightly. I believe that as long as we don't make mistakes next, no one can take the league championship from us. Take it away."
However, the Swiss media obviously don't think so. After Gosau lost this game, he is only three points ahead of Zurich, which is chasing after him. This is already a point gap within reach, and the competition for the league championship is full of suspense again. And they think that Zurich is now focusing all its energy on the league, but Gosau is still fighting on the third line. If their energy is too scattered, it will cost them who are inexperienced. They also "be kindly" advised Lin Fenglei to distinguish the primary and secondary, and it is better to give up some games. The honor of the league champion is what they need most now.
Of course, there is some truth in the remarks of these media, but their "good intentions" make Lin Fenglei very unhappy. Is Goshao so unpleasant to you? When we had a big lead, you had a bad face one by one, and you were afraid that Goshao would win the league championship. Now you are pretending to be good people. You let me give up some games, but I won't give up.
He studied Zurich's schedule with the coaching staff and found that Zurich's recent good results are not only because they have devoted all their energy to the league, but also because they have recently encountered weak teams in a row. Next, they will meet opponents such as Basel, Young and Saint-Galen in a row. After four rounds, they will also Direct dialogue with Gosho can be described as the devil's schedule. The coaching staff agreed that Zurich will widen the point gap between Gosau and Gosau after the devil's schedule, of course, provided that Gosau will fight for himself. However, Lin Fenglei is not worried about this, because Gosho's rotation this year is really successful. Although there are occasional ups and downs, the results against the Swiss team have been very stable, and after he promised a raise, the players are also very angry now.
