Neither team dared to press the offensive formation too high, because both teams had good counter-attacking players, not to mention the Gosau team, Avandzini and Tobinski were both very strong in counterattacking; Zurich's Shaqiri and Bijerica are also very fast and technically good players, and if there is a counter-attacking opportunity, their attacking success rate will be high. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info with both sides fearful, the game was not very exciting.

In the 7th minute, Avandzini dribbled the ball in front, and after making a one-two with Ivanovic, he made a low cross, and after Egerman got the ball in the penalty area, he shook off the angle and shot hard, but was blocked by Balmetler, who fell to the ground, and slightly missed the left post.

Ribeiro's corner kick was then picked up by Miller in the air, and Miller immediately threw the ball in his hand to launch a counter-attack, Shaqiri won the ball and ran to the edge of the box at high speed to shoot a long-range shot that was very threatening, but unfortunately it was slightly over the crossbar.

No one expected that these two attacks would be the most threatening attacks of the two teams in the first half, and after that, both sides played very cautiously, both invested heavily in the midfield, and it is common to see the footage of players on both sides turning their backs in the midfield.

Until the end of the first half 45 minutes, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and the managers of both sides were not dissatisfied with this score. For Charlanders, although he said before the game to try his best to win, but if he can draw with the Gossau team away from home, it is already a better result, after all, in the past two seasons, the Zurich team has not had any good results against the Gossau team, especially in the away game, almost all defeated, so even if the team's strength has been greatly enhanced this season, he does not dare to despise the Gossau team in the slightest.

For Xiao Yang, there is nothing unacceptable about being able to draw with Zurich with a large rotation, after all, there is still a gap of 4 points between the two sides.

In this mentality, the managers of both sides did not make any major adjustments to their tactics in the second half, and both sides still played very cautiously, and did not create many scoring opportunities.

In the 65th minute, Xiao Yang first made an adjustment, he replaced Espositto with Caudinghoe and Ceccaroni with Gugelman, and this adjustment had an immediate effect.

Just when Charlanders was about to make adjustments to the lineup on the field, Gossau scored, in the 69th minute, Gugelman dribbled the ball at the back, when he advanced to the middle line, facing the opponent's defenders, he stuffed the ball straight to Avanzini, Avandzini and Ivanovic made a one-two cooperation and then crossed the bottom, Zurich team's French central defender Chacuri who is only 1.81 meters tall was completely defeated in the battle for points with Kautinho, Kautinho grabbed the first nod and swung the ball to the back point, Egerman was clever enough to get the spot, stabbing the ball into the empty net with ease.

Ralph finally had a chance to show his roar: "goooooooooool!!!! It was Eggman again, who opened the scoring for Gosau again. And the Gosau team also took the initiative on the field because of this goal, and now the Zurich team has to adjust their tactics. If the score is maintained until the end, Gossau will be seven points ahead of Zurich, and with only the ninth round of the league played, such a gap is already huge. ”

Charlanders got up from the dugout, bringing on two attacking players in a row, which was also a helpless move, and he had to use the remaining twenty minutes to try for an equaliser.

Xiao Yang immediately waved his hand and signaled Ivanovic to retreat to the position of the midfielder. The advantage of having a player like Branislav Ivanovic is here, Xiao Yang can make tactical adjustments without changing the players on the field, and can switch from the attacking formation of the 442 diamond midfielder to the defensive formation of the 442 double midfielders at any time.

After Gosau switched to defensive tactics, Zurich's attack became fierce, and for a while Gosau was in front of goal, but fortunately, the two central defenders and goalkeeper Ceccarelli played well, which kept the 1-0 lead.

In the 82nd minute, Charlanders brought on his last striker, Nigeria international Oden Wenjie, in an attempt to recover the score in the final 10 minutes.

Xiao Yang immediately replaced Egerman, who had scored a goal, with Silva to strengthen the defense in the penalty area. In the end, the result of this game was 1-0, and in this battle for the top spot, Gossau beat Zurich at home, extending the gap between the two sides to seven points.

In the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Xiao Yang: "Mr. Xiao Yang, congratulations on your home victory over a strong opponent." After winning this game, you have 8 wins and 1 draw in the first nine rounds of games, accumulating 25 points, and occupy a clear advantage in the league standings, so can it be said that Gosho is already very sure of winning the league three times in a row this season? ”

Xiao Yang thought for a while and replied: "I don't think I can say that, the league has only started nine rounds, and there are still three-quarters of the schedule to be played, so it's a bit too early to say this." In the first nine rounds, Gosho's team was able to achieve eight wins and one draw, in addition to the team's own good performance, there was also some luck. For example, today's game against Zurich could have ended in a draw if the Zurich team had been a little more lucky in the second half of the game. The likes of Zurich, Basel and Juniors have strengthened this season and are all strong contenders for the title, so Gossau will need to work harder if they are to win three consecutive titles. ”

Another reporter asked: "In less than half a month, your first Champions Cup match of the season will begin, this draw Gosho team is not too lucky, drawn into a 'super group of death', are you confident to qualify from the group?" ”

Xiao Yang said categorically this time: "Of course, I am very confident. Gosau are the defending champions of the Champions League and my players are in great form, so I can't see any reason why we can't qualify. ”

The reporter asked Charlanders again: "Mr. Charlanders, this season's Zurich can be said to be the strongest season, and you have also reached the group stage of the Champions League. However, your luck doesn't seem to be good, as you've been placed in a group that includes Premier League giants Chelsea, last season's Champions League runners-up Juventus and last season's Europa League winners PSV Eindhoven. So are you confident of making a breakthrough in this season's Champions League? ”

Charlanders smiled bitterly: "It's true that we weren't very lucky, and I don't dare to say that we can qualify from the group when facing three opponents like this." But we will definitely do our best to get as many points as possible for the Swiss league, so that the Gossau team will not always be alone, and the whole of Europe will think that Switzerland is the only team in Switzerland. ”

Charlanders's words made the audience burst into laughter, although the words of Erlanders were a joke and a bit exaggerated, but they also reflected the mentality of Zurich's traditional Swiss power.

Now in the European arena, the results of the Gossau team are too dazzling, and it has completely overshadowed the brilliance of other Swiss teams, so the traditional Swiss powerhouses such as Zurich, Basel, and young people feel that their self-esteem has been seriously frustrated. It is always seen as a shame for Switzerland.

Xiao Yang couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Charlanders, you are too modest, didn't your Zurich team have a very good result in the Europa League last season?" With you, we won't be alone. ”

Charlanders said solemnly: "How is that enough? In the past two seasons, the Swiss team has not been as good as yours in terms of total points in Europe, and our goal is to surpass you in points this season. ”

Xiao Yang nodded and said: "Well, I also want to see this scene, in this way, the day when the Swiss League will enter the top five European leagues will not be too far away." ”

Xiao Yang's words also caused all the reporters in the field to think deeply, indeed, the healthy development of a league and its influence in Europe cannot rely on just one team, but on the joint efforts of all teams in this league.

The match was followed by a national team break, with two consecutive rounds of qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil on 7 and 11 September, with a number of key players from Gossau selected for their respective national teams.

Switzerland won 3-1 and 1-0 respectively against Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in those two games to win eight straight matches in Group 6 of the European zone and qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule. Egerman scored twice against Macedonia and the only goal of the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina as he played a key role in Switzerland's path to qualification.

The Swiss team's early qualification also made the Swiss football world rejoice, and the Gossau team, which contributed many main players to the Swiss team, was also unanimously praised by the media.

Gossau captain Avandzini also played two full games for Italy, as a result, Italy won two 3-1 victories over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Norway respectively, and with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, they are in second place in Group 6 behind Switzerland and have a good chance of qualifying for the play-offs. Avandzini also scored a goal in those two games.

In addition, the likes of Antunovic and Tobinski also featured for their respective national teams, while the Portuguese national team also brought in Caudijö and Ribeiro for the first time, who made their debut for the national team, and on September 11 against Malta, Caudijö came on in the second half and scored a goal, which was also his first goal for the Portuguese national team. He told reporters after this game that scoring for the national team is the dream of every professional player, therefore, this is the most glorious moment of his career, at this moment, the person he wants to thank the most is his mentor Xiao Yang, if it were not for Xiao Yang, maybe he is still just an unknown ordinary player, and it is impossible to have the current achievements.

When the reporter relayed Kautinho's words to Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang was very moved, and he said to the reporter: "Maybe I have some help to Kautingho, but without Kautingho's own efforts, he would not have achieved his current achievements." I just gave him a chance to show himself. I believe that Cardinho will become a great player in the future. ”

After the return of the international players of the Gosho team, Xiao Yang felt that he had a headache, and now the main players in the team played three high-intensity games in a row in 7 days from the 4th to the 11th, and their fatigue can be imagined, but on the 14th, the Gosho team will face the Zurich Grasshoppers at home for a match in the 10th round of the league, and on the 18th, the Gosho team will also go to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, for the first round of the Champions League group stage away to CSKA Sofia.

Xiao Yang is now deeply aware of the impact of the FIFA virus on the team, and during training, he watched the tired main players and began to feel sad about the formation of the Grasshopper game. He didn't want to give up a few games, but if he let all the main players play, their bodies couldn't stand it, and in the end, he decided to send all the substitutes in the game against the Grasshoppers to retain the fitness of the main players for the more important Champions League games.

On September 14, the Gosho team sat at home to face the Zurich Grasshoppers, the Grasshoppers only have the league to play this season, so they put all their energy in the league, the results are very good, and they are now in third place in the standings, which can be called a strong dialogue, but in such a game, the Gosho team can only send all the substitutes. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Guodong of the Gosho youth team started for the first time for the Gosau team in this game, partnering with Esposito in the forward combination.

In this game, the Grasshoppers played with all their main forces, and they were mainly anti-guest at the beginning, and they were violent, and they had the posture of eating the leader in one bite. In the 32nd minute, the Grasshoppers' 1.91-meter-tall Spanish central defender Valori scored a goal for the Grasshoppers in a corner kick tactic to lead the Gosho team 1:0.

In the 42nd minute, Hoddle passed directly to Zhou Guodong, Zhou Guodong burst into the penalty area with the ball and swept the ball towards the goal, Esposito outflanked it in place, easily blocked the ball into the empty goal, and equalized for the Gosau team.

This goal made many Chinese reporters who watched the game very excited, in this game, the Chinese players of the Gosho team not only started for Gosho for the first time, but also had an assist, this result is still very good, they have something to write after the game.

Subsequently, the game fell into a stalemate, and the score of the two sides remained 1:1 until the 80th minute of the second half.

In the 81st minute, Gossau's centre-back Chevali was sent off for a second yellow card in defence. Although Chevali was also selected for the Swiss national team, he did not play in the first two national team games, so he was also sent by Xiao Yang as the main central defender in this game, and he and goalkeeper Cecarelli were also the only two main players in the Gossau team.

After Chivalli was sent off, Xiao Yang immediately replaced the striker Hoddle with Salihovic, hoping to keep the score 1:1, and in this situation where almost all substitutes are played and there is one less person, a draw is not a bad option. But just one minute later, the Grasshoppers' Mexican winger Giulio . Reyes took advantage of the fact that the Gosau team had just been sent off and was unstable, and grabbed a point in the Gosau team's penalty area to stab the score to 2:1.

Xiao Yang looked very bad and replaced Zhou Guodong and Sartre with Eggman and Avanzini, there were only ten minutes left in the game, and it was unlikely that he would be able to recover the score, but Xiao Yang was still unwilling to suffer the first defeat of the season at home.

Eggman and Avandzini were very active after coming on the field, creating a number of chances on goal to suppress the momentum of the Grasshoppers. The Grasshoppers' head coach Sforza immediately made two substitutions in a row to try to hold on to the win.

In the 89th minute, Gosau's right-back Sampedro immediately sent a long pass over the top 40 meters away after the ball was broken, the ball accurately fell in front of Avandzini, Avandzini broke through the defense of the opposing player with the ball, decisively cut inside, after attracting two defenders to come forward to wrap up, he passed a diagonal pass from the gap, this pass tore the entire defense of the Grasshoppers, Eggman understood, inserted into the penalty area and won the ball, in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, he shot low, Pierced through the Grasshoppers' gates.

The fans of Gosau, who had been depressed for a long time, boiled over, and they gave their warmest cheers to the super goalscorer who repeatedly saved the team.

Sforza's face was grim, he was ambitious to restore the Grasshoppers to supremacy in the Swiss Super League, and he did a good job of bringing the Grasshoppers to third place in the table, but to regain their position as the Swiss Super League dominance, Gosau was an opponent they had to beat.

Originally, the Gosho team could only send all the substitutes to respond to the game, he thought that this game would be the best chance to win against the Gosho team, but he did not expect that he had just cheered for the grasshopper team's lead for less than ten minutes, and the Gosau team equalized. Sforza looked at Eggman, what a terrible shooter. Sforza, of course, still wanted to win, but time was running out, and the morale and confidence of the Grasshoppers had taken a serious hit after Gosau's equaliser, and it was obviously unrealistic to expect them to come back immediately and score another goal, so he had to go to the sidelines and direct his players to retreat in order to keep a draw.

When the 90 minutes of play were up, the referee signalled for three minutes of stoppage time. In the second minute of stoppage time, Gosau defender Cabanas moved away from the back, Avandzini received the ball on the right flank and went down at high speed to cross, Eggman pressed the two Grasshopper central defenders and smashed the cross into the Grasshoppers' net with a header.

Egerman's goal made all the Gossau players and fans in the stadium boil, Egerman rushed to the side of the field and stood there with his hands raised, his teammates all gathered around to wipe his shooting boots, and the 3,000 Gossau fans in the stadium made a gesture of worship to Egerman. In their hearts, they thought that this man was too strong, and it only took him ten minutes to single-handedly bring Gosau out of the abyss of defeat.

The only one who didn't join in the celebration was Cabanas, who launched the attack, and he silently turned around and walked back to his defensive position. Sforza looked at the old captain of the former Grasshopper team, and his mood was extremely complicated. Cabanas's feelings for the Grasshoppers are unquestionable, and it was not his intention to leave the Grasshoppers. Now Sforza is both saddened by the many accolades that Cabanas was able to receive late in his career, and by the fact that the Grasshoppers are now unable to have the spirit leader who is still strong. Thinking of this, he hated Geiger again, although this guy only led the Grasshopper Team for a year, but he made the Grasshopper Team miserable.

After the game restarted, the Grasshoppers only had time to launch an attack, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and in the end, the Gosho team narrowly defeated the Grasshoppers 3:2 at home.

Immediately after the match against the Grasshoppers, Gosho flew to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, to prepare for the first round of this season's Champions League group stage against CSKA Sofia.

CSKA Sofia is a traditional Bulgarian powerhouse that regularly competes in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, but has never qualified in the group stage and usually plays the role of accompanying the prince to study. If the third team in the group is weaker, they may still have some ideas and want to continue to play in the Europa League as the third team in the group, but this season there are three super teams in this group, and they are really powerless to resist and can only be slaughtered.

On 18 September, Gossau played out a 7-0 win against CSKA Sofia, with Egerman scoring a hat-trick and Kautinhoe scoring two goals and Avandzini and Horensten netting once each. The CSKA army in Sofia was ravaged to the point of being devastated and devoid. It's not that Xiao Yang doesn't give them face, but the other two opponents in the group are too strong, and the final result of qualifying from the group may be split by goal difference, and the Gosho team certainly wants to get more goal difference on the weakest opponent in the group of CSKA Sofia.

In the other game of the group, Manchester City narrowly beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at home. After this round of matches, Gosau and Manchester City are tied on three points, but Gosau occupy the top spot on goal difference.

After playing their first game of the group stage, Gossau continued their journey to the road, this time against amateur side Delermont in the first round of this season's Swiss Cup on 21 September. As a result, in this game, the Gosho team rotated heavily and beat the opponent 6-0, Esposito scored a hat-trick, Zhou Guodong scored the first goal of the official game for the Gosau team, and Tobinski and Egerman, who was replaced in the second half, also scored a goal each. Gosho advanced to the next round of matches with their heads held high.

On 28 September, Gossau continued their away journey, this time away to Basel in the 11th round of the league. As Gosau will be challenged at home to Manchester City on 1 October, Xiao Yang still made a wide rotation of the line-up in this game, and in the end, Esposito scored the only goal for Gosau, who drew 1-1 away to Basel, with both teams taking one point each.
