Chapter 78 The Sorrow of Gotts
The game on the field is still going on, but the game is not very exciting because it is a top battle. The Zurich players seem to have some fighting spirit after losing a goal, and the enthusiasm of the Gosho team is not very high. This is still because the league has lost a lot of suspense this season, Gosho players Our interest is more in the Champions League final half a month later.
After a relatively bland first half, the two teams returned to the locker room with a score of 1-0. In the second half of the game, Lin Fenglei suddenly replaced two people. He replaced Egman with Zhou Guodong and Hodel replaced Ivanovic.
The second half of the game was still calm, and both teams were a little routine. It was not until the 81st minute of the second half that Gosho expanded their lead. Antunović cut off a pass from Zurich in the backcourt. He divided the ball to Gugelmann on the right. Gugelman dribbled the ball near the midfield and passed the ball to Codingho in the middle. Codingho took the opportunity to make a long pass and gave the ball to Avazzini on the left side. Avanzini dribbled the ball and shook a defensive ball. After that, the player was empty and passed the ball to the unguarded Hodel in the middle. Hodel kept the ball and shot directly from the long distance. He hit the ball very powerfully. Unfortunately, the angle was slightly correct. Miller blocked the ball horizontally, but he was caught off guard and did not hit the ball far, and the ball fell. In the middle of the penalty area, Codingho appeared ghostly in front of the ball, easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his foot bow.
After the goal, Kadinho is very excited. This is his 26th goal in the league this season. At present, he is at the top of the scorer list, while the second-ranked Zurich's Bijeric and third-ranked Basel's Alipio have only 22 goals, which is still far away from him, so he is very promising. The honor of the top scorer in the league.
In fact, the scorers in the Swiss Super League did not score many goals this season, which is much worse than last season. Due to the reduction in playing time in the league this season, Kadingho's 26 goals are far from his 39 goals last season. He did not expect to win the honor of best scorer, but he didn't expect Bijer Rika's number of goals fell even more. In fact, there is a reason why Zurich has focused on the Champions League this season, and they have also undergone a large rotation, so the playing time in the league has also been greatly reduced. In this way, it is natural for him to reduce the number of goals in the league.
In this game, Bijericha did not start at all, and he certainly could not score a goal, so his number of goals after this game will definitely be at least 4 behind Kadingho.
In the end, the two teams did not score again in the subsequent game. Gosau beat Zurich 2-0 at home, and they also achieved a terrible record of 6 wins and 1 draw in seven games against Zurich this season.
At the post-match press conference, reporters also asked Zurich head coach Castella a lot of tricky questions. Zurich has many sworn enemies in the Swiss Super League. Now everyone sees that they are unlucky, and of course, there are many jokes.
Castella has also been psychologically prepared for a long time. When asked what he thinks about the record of the Gosau team this season, he replied generously: "I must admit that the strength of the Gosau team is indeed above us now. Even if their current strength is It's also top in Europe. Didn't you see so many European giants lose to them?
Castella's words suddenly solved his predicament. Yes, even teams like Barcelona lost without a temper in front of the Gosho team, so what's the reason to laugh at the Zurich team?
Castella continued: "In addition to not winning Gosho, Zurich's performance this season should be good, right? The goal of the Zurich team this season has been basically completed. Next season, we will continue to strengthen the team's strength and strive to win one or two games against Gosau. Otherwise, if you always lose, it's really too faceless.
At this point, Castella smiled bitterly, and the reporters under the stage also laughed and applauded together. Castella's words are good, reminding everyone that Zurich's results this season are actually excellent, and he expresses his ambition for the next season, but he is relatively low-key and with some self-deprecating, which makes people not have any disgust.
Lin Fenglei responded with a smile: "I would like to see Zurich continue to strengthen next season, because this is also good for Swiss football and can enhance the competitiveness of Swiss teams in European competitions. I am also happy to see that other Swiss teams can strengthen their strength and make the competition in the Swiss Super League more and more fierce, and the game is more and more exciting. I believe it is good for all Swiss teams.
The words of the two head coaches made the atmosphere of the press conference, which was a little tense, look very harmonious. After all, everyone is a person who depends on Swiss football. The better Swiss football, the more benefits it will be for them. It is in a bowl. This is a very simple truth. Everyone is for Castella and Lin Feng. Lei and the two sent warm applause.
In the other games of the Swiss Super League in this round, the young team ranked three or four and Neuchtel both won. In this way, Zurich has only 8 points ahead of the third young team. With three rounds left in the game, they have not yet decided to win the second place in the league.
St. Garren and Arau both lost in this round. The fact that they occupy the last two is unshakable. The difference is who is directly relegated and who can play the play-offs. At present, St. Garren still has a relatively obvious advantage. They have 24 points, five points ahead of the 19-point Arau team. They also hope to keep this advantage in the last three rounds of the league. After all, even if they participate in the play-offs, they are likely to be relegated. If they are directly relegated, the loss next season will be too great. .
On May 14, Gosho's away game challenged St. Garren. This is the 34th round of the league. For Gosho's team, this game is already dispensable. Lin Fenglei also sent a semi-main and semi-replacement team. He has now begun to prepare for the Champions League final on May 21 and is adjusting. The players are in shape.
St. Garren has no choice. They have to fight every game now, because if they can't play well in the last three rounds of the league and are overtaken by the Arau team, the joke will be big. You should know that the Arau team is playing against Lucerne at home in this round. The Lucerne team is now ranked eighth. They have no worries about relegation. It is impossible to go further. They have no desire, so the Arau team is likely to get three points in this round. If St. Garren loses to Gosau, they will have only two points left in their lead, which is very dangerous.
St. Garren's head coach Gotez took the risk of formulating offensive tactics in this game. He hoped to take advantage of the opportunity that the Gosho team did not value the game to bite the Gosho team.
There is nothing wrong with Gosotzi's idea. The Goshao team does not value this game. St. Garren's surprise after the opening did create some offensive opportunities, but St. Garren's ability to seize the opportunity is really bad, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point - they were still the first last year. Four - so they missed several chances to score in a row.
In the 24th minute of the game, St. garren's retribution for wasting opportunities came. After Checarelli grabbed St. Garren's shot in the penalty area, he immediately stood up and threw the ball to Ribeiro. Ribeiro saw that St. garren's backfield was empty. He drove the ball directly to St. Garren with a big foot. At half-time, Egman was at the front. He clicked the ball in the direction of the penalty area, and then accelerated to catch up with the ball, forming a single knife. The central defender of St. Garren still wanted to catch up with Egman, but although Egman was big, his speed and explosive power were quite good, and the two central defenders of St. Garren were not good at speed. They were empty. Egman, who chased the ball, chased farther and farther. In the end, he could only watch Egman's back eat dust.
Egman quickly took the ball into the penalty area. As soon as he entered the penalty area, before the goalkeeper of St. Garren rushed up, Egman swung his thick right leg and made a strong shot in a very personal style, hitting the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. It was too late for the St. Garren goalkeeper to make a powerful shot in the penalty area. The reaction was that he just waved his hand, and when he looked back, he saw the ball spinning in the net.
Egman's strength seemed to be a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of all St. Garren's fans. St. Garren's home court was suddenly silent, and all St. Garren's fans had an ominous feeling. Some people had begun to ask about the score of the Arau team with their mobile phones and learned that there was no goal. , just a little relieved.
St. Garren's current morale is very fragile. They just lost a goal, and their confidence was immediately lost. The original tided offensive suddenly stopped, but the Goshao team did not take the opportunity to launch the offensive. They were also happy to fall more in the midfield and backcourt. Anyway, the victory or defeat of the game doesn't matter. It's not good to push too hard, and it's not good to push the opponent into a black foot.
St. garren's head coach Gotts is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If he is relegated this season, his coaching position will not be guaranteed. In fact, if it is not a bad impact to change the coach again, the St. Garren team wants to fire him now. He walked to the sidelines and loudly urged the players to strengthen their attack.
