Chapter 66 The End of Records
The game is finally over. The result of the game is unsatisfactory for both teams. Zurich had a chance to win, but it was wasted by themselves. If they win or even draw, it is also very good for the second round. Unfortunately, every time Castella thinks of this, it has A feeling of chest tightness, the Goshao team is really a big life! He couldn't wait to roar a few more words, "Yes", "Yes, there is"...
But for Gosho, this result is not satisfactory. Of course, 1:0 is also a victory, but it is the most unsafe victory. With the current state of Zurich, it is not impossible for them to turn over in the second round, because Gosho also suffered heavy losses in this game, Salihovitch and Antu Both of Norwich's two defense players were suspended for accumulating yellow cards. It can be imagined what kind of pressure Gosho's defense will face in the next round.
Lin Fenglei was a little annoyed at the thought of Salikhovich's yellow card. He has now sent the video replay of the penalty to UEFA and appealed, hoping to revoke Salihovic's yellow card, but it is estimated that it is useless, because the second round will be held in a week, and then withdraw. There is not much precedent for selling yellow cards before. In addition, UEFA President Platini is not very interested in the Gosho team, so he can completely dismiss the Gosho team's appeal in a high-sounding way.
Although this game is very unsatisfactory to both sides of the game, for the Central Cube, this game is still quite wonderful. The wits of the two head coaches are very technical. The controversial penalty, penalty kick, yellow card, no penalty kick did not score, and then the Gosho team scored instead. The process of this game can indeed be called It is full of ups and downs and wonderful. Compared with this game and another Champions League quarter-final at the same time, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home. Although it scored more goals, the game scene was relatively flatter.
Many football critics claim that the game between Gosho and Zurich at home can be called one of the best matches in the Champions League this season.
Although the game was rated as the best, Lin Fenglei's mood was not so wonderful. He devoted all his energy to the second round of the game a week later. He and the coaching staff kept discussing what tactics will Castella use in the second round of the game? And what tactics should the Gosho team use?
Maybe you attach too much importance to the Champions League, and there is some relaxation for Lin Fenglei in the league. In this weekend's Swiss Premier League, Gosho's brilliant unbeaten record in the league has finally ended. Not only has the league unbeaten record been terminated, but their home unbeaten record has also been terminated.
On April 2, Gosho played against Nashatel at home in the league. Lin Fenglei sent all the substitutes in this game. The first half of the game has been relatively flat, and the two teams have attack and defense.
When the game reached the 41st minute of the first half, Nasttel got a corner kick in the front court. Their left-back Vehelli made a corner kick. The corner kick fell well and flew to the middle of the penalty area. The Bulgarian central defender Georgiyev, who was 1.89 meters tall, shook his head and the ball flew. To the upper right corner of the goal, Ciccarelli could not save it. Clement, standing next to the right post, jumped high and headed the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball was taken by Argentine striker Romero. He shook the ball over the Peredda, and then pushed the lower left corner of the goal to open the first record for Neuchatelle.
After losing the ball, the Gosho team launched a fierce counterattack with the cheering of tens of thousands of Gosho fans in the audience, but the defense of the Nashatel team was very tenacious. They were united and resisted the fierce attack of the Gosho team. The Goshaw team was not very lucky, Curie The shot with Lopez hit the goal frame one after another, and the header in Pereda's corner kick was also a little worse. In the end, Nchartel defeated Gosau unexpectedly 1-0 on the road.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Nishatel players celebrated crazily, as if they had won the league championship. With this unexpected victory, their ranking rose to the fourth place in the league, and the point gap with the third-ranked Grassbelli team narrowed to three points, and they also had a chance to enter the Champions League.
However, the most important thing is that the victory of the Nishatel team means that they have terminated the consecutive unbeaten record of the league held by the Gosau team. The record of the team stopped abruptly at 126 games. At the same time, the team also broke the continuous unbeaten record of the Gosau team at the Wind and Thunder Stadium - the team has been Since they moved their home court to Fenglei Stadium, they have never lost the official game held here. Now, their record of unbeaten home games is still at 57 games.
This is a great honor for any team. In the Swiss Super League, Zurich, Basel, Youth and other Swiss Super League giants failed to win this honor; in the Champions League, many of the top European giants did not win this honor. Now this honor has been won by the temer Nashatel team, and their excitement can be imagined.
After the end of the game, the "three musketeers" Curic, Pereda and Gross of the Gosho youth team, who started the game, shed tears of pain. They thought that the two unbeaten records of the Gosho team were broken by them. Avanzini, the captain on the bench, comforted them, but they couldn't comfort them. Let them recover from self-reproach. Finally, Lin Fenglei went up and said to them, "The record was broken in your hands, so let's create a new record in your hands in the future!"
This sentence made the three children stop their tears. They raised their heads, wiped their tears, looked at Lin Fenglei, and nodded firmly.
On that day, the front page of almost all sports media in Europe was the news that Gosho's unbeaten record was suspended. This really echoed a sentence: a dog biting people is not news, but a person biting a dog is news. The current situation is that it is not news that the Goshao team wins, but the news that the Gosau team loses.
Some media that have a bad relationship with Goshao team took the opportunity to take the opportunity. Combined with the fact that the last Champions League quarter-final home game against Zurich, Gosau team was just struggling to win. These media believe that it is now a low period for Gosau team, and it is very difficult for Gosau team to defend the Champions League title this season, and if If they can't defend the Champions League champion, it will be difficult for them to retain the stars in the team, so this will be the beginning of the collapse of the Gosho dynasty.
Of course, more media do not agree with such an argument, and they have written articles to refute such a view. They think it is normal for a team to have a trough in a long season. Relatively speaking, Lin Fenglei has done a very good job in adjusting the state of the players. In the past few seasons, Gosho's performance has always been the most stable among the European giants.
From this season alone, Gosho's performance has also been very good. They won the championship nine rounds ahead of schedule, and now they have 79 points in 28 rounds. The average points in each round are the highest among all European leagues. In the Champions League, they have not lost so far. Therefore, losing one game occasionally after winning the league does not mean any problem. At present, Gosau is still the biggest favorite to win the Champions League.
The media was fighting a battle around the Goshao team, but Lin Fenglei did not pay attention to these. A reporter came to interview him and asked him what his mood was when his record was suspended. He just smiled faintly and said, "For me, recording can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Of course, it is a good thing to have it, but It doesn't matter if we don't have it. The important thing is that we won the championship in advance, right? Besides, a team can't never lose. This loss may be the beginning of another new record for us.
Lin Fenglei's words made all the Swiss Super League teams take a deep breath, the beginning of another new record? Are you going to come again? Why don't you let others live?
Lin Fenglei did not care what he said and would cause trouble to many people. On April 4, he led the team to Zurich to prepare for the second round of the Champions League quarter-final match against Zurich on April 6.
Although Zurich also sent all the substitutes in the weekend league, they still defeated the league deputy squad leader Arau with 3:2 away. Because the third-ranked Grasswfly unexpectedly lost to Sion at home, they widened the point gap between the two to 6 points, and Castella temporarily You can breathe a sigh of relief.
Before the game against Gosau, Castella said that Gosau lost at home to Neuchtel in the league last week, proving that they will not lose, so Zurich will do their best in this game and must defeat Gosau and strive for a successful turnaround.
In fact, when it came to this passage, Castella's heart was bleeding. If only Marcelinho had scored the penalty kick at that time, now his tactics were much easier to arrange, but he failed to score, but let Egman score one. As a result, he had to arrange strong attack tactics at home, because Zurich did not There are away goals, so if you want to eliminate Gosho, it is too difficult to win at least two goals at home.
Unfortunately, the two generals on the back line of Gosho's defense, Salihovic and Antunovic, were suspended due to yellow cards, which is a big loss to Gosho's defense. Maybe Zurich can make an article through this and strive to score a few more goals for Gosho.
Several key players of Zurich also expressed their determination to defeat Gosau, especially Marcelinho, who vowed to make up for his achievements.
