Chapter 3 Singing and advancing
After four rounds of league adjustment, the state of the Gosau team has finally been almost adjusted. Of course, it is still the same as the previous season after the system pre-season training, but there is still not much problem in dealing with the Swiss Super League.
The European competition has not yet started. At the beginning, the state of the players should only get better and better. At this point, Lin Fenglei is still very reassured with the team's coaches. They are all experienced and high-level coaches, and the club's various high-tech instruments to detect the physical condition of the players can be completely developed. A perfect training plan to help players recover.
Besides, this year is the year of the competition. The players of the Gosho team are affected. The main opponents of the Gosho team are many international players. They will not be less affected than Gosho team at all. Everyone is still standing on the same line.
The next three consecutive rounds of the league are once a week, and the schedule is not tight, so the Gosho team plays relatively easily.
On August 10, Gosau challenged Thion away. In the 30th minute, Avanzini cut the goal after breaking through from the left, opening the record for Gosau. This goal was also Avanzini's first goal of the season.
Less than a minute after the start of the game in the second half, Hollensten's bottom cross helped Egman make a header, making the score 2-0.
Less than two minutes after Egman scored, he was shoveled to the ground from behind by the opposing defender in a carry, and his ankle was a little swollen. After the team doctor dealt with the injury, he wanted to continue the game, but was replaced by Lin Fenglei without hesitation. Egman has been saying that it's okay, but Lin Fenglei doesn't want to take risks, because Egman's status is too important. If he continues to play with an injury in such a big game, if the injury worsens, it will be a huge loss for Gosho.
Esposito replaced Egman. In the 78th minute, he took Kadingho's header and scored in front of the goal, locking the score at 3-0 for Gosho.
Since then, neither team has scored again. In the end, Gosho defeated Sion 3-0 away. They also won five consecutive victories after the start of the league.
After this game, the team doctor told Lin Fenglei that after further examination, Egman's ankle was fine. With his physical fitness, he would be fine after a few days' rest at most, and he would not even miss the next round of the game against Zurich.
Lin Fenglei was relieved after hearing the news. If Egman is really injured and has to rest for a month or two, the attack power of the Gosho team will drop a bit, at least one absolute strength will be missing when breaking the dense defense. Although Codingho's physical quality and scoring ability are also very strong, I don't know if it's because of his personality. He is more used to using his mind and technology to defeat his opponents, and rarely compete with the opponent's defenders.
Of course, this is an advantage when partnering with Egman, which can complement Egman, but if Egman is missing and let Kadingho act as the core of the attack, he will always feel that something is missing.
On August 17, in the sixth round of the Swiss Super League, Gosau met Zurich, which was another top battle.
Zurich's results this season are also quite good. They remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 2 draws in the first five rounds of the league, ranking second in the table. In the Champions League qualifiers, they have also made great progress all the way. Now they have entered the last round. If they defeat their opponents in this round, they can enter the Champions League group stage for the second consecutive season, which is very important to them. After all, entering the Champions League group stage means at least 10 million euros in income.
With this income, it means that they can continue to increase their strength. If they continue to increase their strength, it means that they can increase their competitiveness and continue to participate in European competitions. This is a virtuous circle, and it can be said that the Zurich team is on the right path.
Because it is an away challenge to the strong Gosau team, the head coach of Zurich, Charles Landes, is also very low-key. After he came to Gosau, he said in an interview that his goal of coming to Gosau is to get a point, and for the Zurich team, the more important game is to play against Russia's Zenit three days later. The last round of the play-offs.
Zurich did not do its best in the game against Gosau. Charlandes hid several important players, and in the game, Zurich did not play very fiercely.
Of course, the Gosho team did not play hard. They only beat Zurich 2-0.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Ivanovic passed a long pass to the penalty area in the backcourt. Zurich's penalty area was in a mess. Egman jumped high and headed the ball in the chaos. Avanzini, who inserted at a small angle on the left side of the penalty area, hit the ball into the goal. Zurich's goalkeeper Miller, was out of reach, and could only look at the ball into the net. .
After that, the game was tem until the 81st minute of the second half, Avazzini made a good return. He cut inside after breaking through with the ball on the side and sent a direct pass. Egman caught the ball and shot in the middle of the penalty area, scoring the second goal of the game for Gosho.
2:0, the Goshao team has won six consecutive victories since the start of the game without any suspense.
Although the Zurich team lost the top battle, they defeated Russian Zenit 2-1 away in the Champions League qualifying match three days later, taking the lead in the two rounds, so Charlanders was also satisfied.
On August 24, Gosho continued to play at home. This time, their opponent was Lucerne, which was almost relegated last season.
Because Gosho will go to Monaco to participate in this season's European Super Cup on the 29th, the opponent is Inter Milan, so Lin Fenglei also hid half of the main force in the game against Lucerne, including Egman. Although this made Egman very dissatisfied, Lin Fenglei still suppressed Egman. He Let Egman completely heal his injured ankle, and then score a few more goals in the Super Cup to defend the club's title in the European Super Cup.
As soon as he said this, Egman nodded and agreed: "OK, boss, don't worry, I will satisfy you in the European Super Cup. We are sure to win this championship!"
Esposito and Zhou Guodong started and partnered with the front line of this game. As a result, Esposito scored in the first attack after the opening.
After kicking off in the middle circle, Esposito passed the ball to Zhou Guodong, and then ran to the penalty area. After Zhou Guodong and Antunović fell down once, they suddenly sent a long diagonal pass. After Tobinski got the ball at high speed on the left road, he turned around and knocked the ball back to the opponent's pending defensive player. Assisted left-back Ribeiro, Ribeiro kept the ball and passed it directly to the middle. Esposito just ran into the penalty area. In the face of the unstable back line of Lucerne, he easily headed the goal, and Gosho led 1-0.
The Gosho fans in the stands cheered, and Lin Fenglei also sat on the sidelines and applauded. Ribeiro's cooperation with the winger is an offensive routine that Gosho's team focuses on this season. The Gosho's winger is now the target of the opponent's key defense. It is difficult for them to pass comfortably now, and Ribero's footwork is no less than that of the winger, and his defensive pressure is also slightly lighter, because Lin Fenglei has developed this offensive routine.
It turns out that this offensive routine is still very effective. This goal is the second goal scored through this routine this season.
Lin Fenglei sighed that no matter how strong the team is, it still requires new changes. If it is always a routine to fight the world, sooner or later, it will be figured out by the opponent. For example, Barcelona's current performance is not as good as a few seasons ago. In fact, their strength has not declined, but they have been thoroughly studied by various opponents, and their own changes are not much, so they will naturally be restrained.
The coaching staff of Gosho's team is very effective. They watch countless videos every day, formulate various tactics for the team, and then let the players practice in training. It is their hard work that makes Gosho's attack and defense as stable as Taishan.
