178 Step-by-step

Moulinini's wishful thinking almost succeeded, and with the St. Gallen players in the bucket, Gossau did not score until the end of the game. www.biquge.info Just as Molinini was already preparing for extra-time, Egerman, who had only come on in the 87th minute and 75 minutes of the second half, headed Tobinski's corner into the door of the St. Gallen team in a corner kick tactic.

Molinini's face was pale, he didn't expect that his whole effort, the tactical design that was close to success, was destroyed by Eggman like this, he immediately desperately replaced three attacking players in a row, and launched a crazy counterattack on the door of the Gossau team, but the remaining time was too short, and there was not enough time for the new players to warm up, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In the end, Gossau defeated St. Gallen 1-0 thanks to Egermann's stunner and advanced to the final of the Swiss Cup, where their final opponent will be Basel. Basel beat Neuchâtel 3-0 at home in the other semi-final, which was played a day earlier.

Coincidentally, Neuchâtel also happens to be the opponent of Gossau's next league game, and in the 32nd round of the Swiss Super League on 4 May, Neuchâtel will take on Gosau at the Estadio de la Thunder.

Neuchâtel have grown significantly this season due to the increase in broadcast fees, and they have been in the top six of the league table in the Swiss Super League this season, and they have also beaten Zurich in cup competitions to reach the last four. Therefore, they are also an ambitious team.

Gossau's match against Neuchâtel is exactly the 59th game they have played since the start of their unbeaten run in the league, and if they don't lose to Neuchâtel in this game, they will surpass AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten run in the league. Naturally, Neuchâtel was reluctant to be a stepping stone to Gosau's record-setting.

Narchâtel's head coach Schulman also spoke to reporters after leading the team to Gosau, saying: "Gossau is a strong team and they are very difficult to beat. But we're not here to go through the motions! It's an interesting situation now and there are a lot of similarities to when AC Milan went 58 games unbeaten. ”

"AC Milan's first opponent in 58 games is Parma, and it happened to be Parma who ended their unbeaten streak; And now Gossau is unbeaten in 58 games, the first opponent is very coincidental, we are Neuchâtel, and now it is the 59th game, and we have met Neuchâtel again. This seems to be a very fortuitous thing, but there is often inevitability in the accident, otherwise how to explain such a coincidental thing? ”

"I don't dare to say that Neuchâtel will end Gosau's unbeaten run in this game, but I can say that Neuchâtel will give it their all in this game, and Gossau will have to step over the corpse of Neuchâtel if they want to set a record!"

When asked what he thought of Schulman's words, Xiao Yang replied: "Football matches are very fortuitous, and sometimes a lot of more coincidental things happen, so I can't say that we will not lose to Neuchâtel in this game. But I don't think there's any comparison between today's game and AC Milan vs Parma, it's just a normal league game, so I hope you don't pay too much attention to it. ”

Xiao Yang did treat this game as an ordinary league game, and he sent all the rotation players in this game, but it is clear that Schulman did not treat this game as an ordinary league, and he started all the main players who played a Swiss Cup semi-final in midweek, which also shows his determination to win.

Nessâtel's men were more desperate than any other game this season, pressing frantically from the front to give the impression that they were playing a final league game that would stake a relegation or relegation game.

The young players of the Gossau team may have been captured by the momentum of the Neuchâtel players, or they may have been bewildered by the 59-game curse, feeling that they have been holding back and not playing at the level they have been training at all, and they have been suppressed by Neuchâtel throughout the game. This made Xiao Yang very dissatisfied, but he was angry on the sidelines several times but failed to change the mental outlook of the players on the field, and in the end, Xiao Yang could only sit back in the coach's seat helplessly, thinking in his heart that if he lost this game, forget it, it should be the price that must be paid to train young players.

While Shaw was ready to give up the game, Gosau's goalkeeper Ceccarelli played at a very high level, making six effective saves and at least three times denying Neuchâtel's must-score goals.

In the end, neither team could score after 90 minutes, and the two sides played 0-0.

Although the game was very ugly, the 50,000 Gosau fans who came to the scene were still ecstatic, and they took out a huge slogan with a huge "59" printed on it to celebrate the 59-game unbeaten run in the league.

However, Xiao Yang didn't give any good looks to the Gosau players after the game, jokingly, being pressed and beaten by the Neuchâtel team in his home stadium, even if most of the players on the field are young players, it is unforgivable, because since they are on the field, it represents the Gosho team, and people don't care if you are the main force of the Gosau team.

Xiao Yang kept all the players on the pitch in the locker room, and he announced that all the players who played today, except for Cicarelli, would have to practice for an extra hour in training the next day as a punishment, and all the players who came on the pitch accepted the punishment. However, Cicarelli said he would have to practice for an extra hour with the rest of the players the next day.

Shaw Yang asked him why he did it, and Checarelli said that because he also played, all the players who came on the pitch were one and should not be separated.

Xiao Yang looked at Cekcareli for a while, and Cekcareli kept looking at Xiao Yang, without avoiding Xiao Yang's eyes.

In the end, Xiao Yang said with a straight face: "Since you like to practice, then you can practice more." Then he left the locker room.

After Xiao Yang left, the other players on the court said that Cicarelli was too stupid and offended the leader, and there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, but Cekarelli said that he did not regret it.

Caktas caught up with Xiao Yang, and he asked Xiao Yang with some concern: "Checarelli didn't give you face just now, will you hold a grudge against Checarelli?" ”

Xiao Yang smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible?" Am I so careful? I like Cicarelli very much, and I am sure that in the future he will not only be our goalkeeper, but also our captain! ”

Only then did Kaktas relent.

On 11 May, Gossau continued to play at home, this time in the 33rd round of the league against St. Gallen. The good news for this game was that Lima returned from injury, but to be on the safe side, Xiao Yang did not send Lima to start, but only replaced Hoddle after 60 minutes of the second half.

In this game, the St. Gallen team also fought fiercely, but the players of the Gosho team did not know whether they had completely let go of their psychological baggage after crossing the 59-game unbeaten mark, or they were scolded by Xiao Yang after the last game.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Caudijho took advantage of a one-on-one chance to take the lead for Gosau; In the 72nd minute of the second half, substitute Lima scored another goal for Gosau with a long-range shot from outside the box.

The score of 2:0 remained until the end, and Gossau beat St. Gallen. It was also Gosau's 60th unbeaten run in the league and three games away from a season's unbeaten league record.

Although there are only three games left, these three games are not very easy to play.

The first two games are away to Basel on May 18 and Zurich away on May 21, both opponents are Swiss Super Giants, this season has a significant increase in strength, they are now in the second and third places in the Swiss Super League standings, the points are very tight, the result of each game is related to whether they will play in the Champions League or Europa League next season, related to the income gap of tens of millions of euros, plus they are certainly unwilling to be a stepping stone for the Gossau team to set a record, On their home turf they will definitely beat the Gosau team and will not let the Gosau team pass easily.

The first game was better against Basel, because there was a week of rest before the previous round, and as long as Xiao Yang needed, Gosau could send the full main team; The second game against Zurich is a bit more difficult, because on May 21 against Zurich, three days later is the most important game of the season for Gosau, the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, when Xiao Yang is bound to rest the main players, and the substitutes can withstand the Zurich team's attack? This is also a very suspenseful thing.

If Gossau get past the first two hurdles, they will play their last league opponent - Arau - on 30 May. Arau should not be strong in terms of strength, but they are now in the bottom of the league, that is, the bottom position, only four points away from the ninth team in the league, if before the final round of the league, they are within three points of Lucerne, and there is hope of overtaking Lucerne to become ninth and qualify for the promotion play-offs, I believe they will also be stumbling with Gossau at that time.

It's not impossible, Aarau have been in good form lately, while Lucerne have been in average form. If that kind of situation really arises at that time, it is a matter of relegation, and the Arau team will not care how strong your Gosho team is, and will definitely play with the Gosho team.

On May 18, Xiao Yang led the Gosau team to Basel to challenge the Swiss Super League Basel team.

Prior to this game, Basel and Zurich were both on 55 points, with Zurich sitting second in the league table on goal difference, with Basel in third. Don't look at a second, a third, it seems that the difference is not far, but in the Swiss Super League, the distance between the second and third is the distance between the Champions League and the Europa League, and there may also be a gap of tens of millions of euros in income.

Coupled with the fact that there were some unpleasant things between the two teams in the last Basel match at the home stadium of Gosau, two players of the Gosau team were injured, and Basel's Zambrela was also severely punished, so the two teams can be regarded as having a holiday.

Basel coach Yakin said before this game that Basel will beat Gosau in this game, not only to end Gosau's unbeaten record, but also to surpass Zurich in one fell swoop and enter next season's Champions League.

In this game, Xiao Yang played the main force in the rest of the positions, except for replacing Kautinho, who had some minor foot injuries, with Esposito, and replacing Ivanovic with Lima. In addition to maintaining the game status of the main players, Xiao Yang also did not want to let go of the Basel team, the last time the Basel team injured two generals of the Gosau team, Xiao Yang is very resentful.

Of course, it would be better if we could extend our unbeaten streak by the way

Basel sent all the main players, only Zambrela, the culprit of the last unpleasant incident, was not in the starting lineup, he was suspended by the Swiss Football Federation for 10 games, and his sentence is still not over. Bulgarian midfielder Branislav Ivanov took his place in the starting line-up.

The game had just begun, and the two teams did not go through any temptation at all, and directly started to attack. It's like two enemies meeting each other, and neither of them hides their intention to kill the other.

The smell of gunpowder in the game was very strong, and it was common to see players on both sides on the field, and the referee on duty, Studel, became the busiest man on the field, and his whistle sounded from time to time.

Although the game was intense, fortunately, there was no intentional hurtful action on either side. Gossau has never had this bad habit, while Basel did not dare, after the last punishment, the Swiss Football Association has been particularly strict with the deliberate hurtful actions on the field, and at this critical moment of competing for Champions League qualification, if one or two more key players are banned, it will be more than worth the loss.

Frequent fouls on both teams fragmented the game and made it incoherent, so neither team had many dangerous shots on goal for long periods of the first half.

In the 38th minute, Lima started to win the ball in the middle of the midfield, and he used a beautiful feint to shake off three defenders in a row and burst into the Basel penalty area.

The thousands of Gossau fans who came to Basel with the team were cheering for Lima loudly, but Xiao Yang on the sidelines was not happy, he scolded: "This bastard, he didn't listen to him when he told him not to dribble the ball too much, has he forgotten how he was injured last time?" ”

Of course, Lima can't hear Xiao Yang's scolding now, after he burst into the penalty area, he shook off Basel's central defender Giovanola, but at this time his position was relatively close to the bottom line, when everyone thought that Lima would cross, Lima directly kicked the goal at a small angle, he hit a low flat ball with this kick, the power was great, Basel goalkeeper Bachilevci fell to the ground to save, but he didn't even touch the skin.

Bachlewch's heart was cold, thinking that the goal was going to be scored, but he immediately heard a loud "dang" sound, he knew that the ball hit the post, but before he could rejoice, he felt the ball hit his back, he shouted "bad" in his heart, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the ball slowly rolling into the goal.

Gossau led Basel 1-0 and Lima's brilliant performance led to the goal, but it was credited to Bacclevci. Of course, he himself may not be willing to put this ball in his name, because it is an own goal.

At the end of the first half, Gossau led Basel 1-0. In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again, and less than two minutes into the second half, the Basel team launched an attack, Swedish midfielder Anderson passed diagonally to the Hungarian striker Pastor at the front of the penalty area in the midfield, Pastor did not stop the ball and went straight to the penalty area, and Bulgarian shooter Todorov received the ball and calmly fired a low shot into the far corner. Basel levelled the score at 1-1.

Just 5 minutes later, Anderson suddenly took a long shot from the left side of the edge of the penalty area, the ball hit Chevalli's body and bounced back in front of Anderson, Chevali quickly pounced on Anderson to prevent Anderson from shooting from a long distance again, but Anderson got up and passed the ball diagonally to the back of the goal, Pastor stepped in and jumped up and volleyed and volleyed, the ball went into the net.

Before Anderson's pass, Checarelli moved to the near corner of the goal, and all his attention was on Anderson, and after Anderson's pass to the back post, it was too late for Checarelli to move back and he could only watch Pastor score this wonderful goal.

Basel also managed to overtake the score with Pastor's goal.

After the score was down, the Gosho team fought back aggressively, and Yakin signaled his players to recycle the formation in an attempt to avoid the Gosau team's edge and then seek a counterattack.

Basel's strategy was still very successful, and until the 75th minute, Gossau could not score again. More than 30,000 Basel fans in front of the stadium saw the hope of beating Gossau and have been cheering for their team tirelessly.

In the 78th minute of the game, Gossau launched an attack, Avandzini dribbled the ball on the left side, just past the midfield, he passed the ball to Egerman in front of him with a straight pass, Egerman used his strong body, forced a breakthrough, and dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line, and then sent a cross, at this time the Basel team's back line was already in chaos under Egerman's impact, Esposito outflanked at the back post and easily sent the ball into the empty goal.

Gosau tied the score at 2-2, and after that, both teams were not willing to settle for a draw, and they played a wonderful battle of attack, like two fighters standing in the ring, punch for punch, both hoping that they could survive each other's offensive and then knock out their opponent with one punch.

In the 89th minute of the game, Basel attacked in front, one of their passes was cut off by Ivanovic, Ivanovic immediately launched a counterattack with a long pass, he handed the ball to Avandzini who was inserted at high speed on the left side, Avandzini suddenly sent a pick pass in the run, the ball crossed the entire Basel team's defense, Eggman understood, rushed out of the encirclement like an arrow from the string, and successfully countered offside, forming a single knife trend.

Basel goalkeeper Baccleivch had no choice but to abandon the goal, Egerman ran and fired a low shot into the near corner, but Bitchlewch fell to the ground and couldn't save, and the ball grazed the left post and drilled into the net.

Egerman's goal thundered the cheers of the more than 3,000 Gossau fans who came to Basel to cheer for the team, but the Basel fans were silent, their team had already performed very well today, but they were overtaken by Gosau, which made them unable to say anything.

Basel then fought back frantically, but at this time Xiao Yang used up the last two substitutions, and he used up the stoppage time by replacing two players in a row at the beginning of the game. In the end, Yakin could only swallow the bitter fruit of losing to Gosho at home.

The Gosho fans at the scene also immediately played a huge slogan printed with the word "61" to celebrate the 61st consecutive unbeaten run in the league by the Gosho team.

After the game, Basel coach Yakin said in a slightly bitter and reluctant press conference after the game: "The tactics I laid out today were very successful, in fact we are very close to victory, but we don't have Egerman, and they do, that's the difference." ”

Yakin's words still make a lot of sense, after Basel overtook the score, it was Egerman's pass and shot that helped Gosau win 3:2, without Egerman, the result of this game is really hard to say.

Xiao Yang replied to Yakin's words: "Egerman is of course the best striker in the world right now, but we are a unit, Egerman is not an isolated existence, his goal is the victory of our team as a whole." Besides, Coach Yakin is so envious of having Eggman, what he should do is to develop their own Eggman, not just envy us here. You must know that there is an old saying in China -- 'It is better to retreat and close the net than to envy the fish in the abyss'. ”

Xiao Yang's words couldn't help but make Yajin roll his eyes, he said in his heart, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk, if Eggman is so easy to cultivate, is it still so valuable?

On May 21, the Gosau team went to Zurich non-stop to play a match in the 35th round of the league against another Swiss super team, Zurich.

Zurich beat Sion 1-0 away in the previous round and are currently three points ahead of Basel in second place in the league, and since they are more ahead of Basel on goal difference, if they can beat Gossau in this game, they can basically secure second place in the league one round earlier and ensure that they continue to play in the Champions League next season.

In recent seasons, Zurich have played very well, playing in the Champions League for several seasons in a row and reaching the group stage, which has brought the Zurich team a lot of money and more confidence to recruit, which has allowed them to grow day by day.
