Xiao Yang applauded off the field, he is very satisfied with the current team's attack, now the attacking players of the Gosho team are very strong in individual ability, and they have played together for a few years, and they cooperate very tacitly, so they can often play this kind of pleasing attack.
On July 31, the Gosho team went to the away game to challenge Sion, this game Salihovic returned from injury, but in the 16th minute, Antunovic sprained his ankle after landing in a duel, the team doctor came forward to check and signaled to go on a stretcher, and informed Xiao Yang that Antunovic could not continue to play in this game, Xiao Yang scolded "fxxk", and in desperation, he was replaced by Chevali again. However, in the 24th minute, Avandzini scored a beautiful free-kick to open the scoring for Gosau, which made Xiao Yang's brow temporarily stretch for a while.
Just three minutes later, Sion's Serbian striker Lyubauja equalised for Sion, leaving Xiao Yang's brow locked again, a goal caused by a lack of chemistry between Chivali and Salihovic. Subsequently, Sion was in full swing and completely suppressed Gossau on the field, but Cabanas stepped up at this time, he made consecutive tackles, and often yelled to remind the players in the backline to concentrate, Kufrey also used two vicious tackles to make Sion's momentum stagnate, Chivali slowly stabilized, and his performance became more and more normal, and the two teams entered a stalemate.
Xiao Yang nodded secretly on the sidelines, these veterans Gosau bought it too much, they brought a change in temperament to the young Gosau, and laid a good foundation for the casting of Gosau's team spirit.
In the 52nd minute, Avandzini crossed, Egerman was pulled down in the penalty area by the opponent's central defender, the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, because the team's first penalty taker Antunovic has been injured, so Avandzini stepped forward to take the penalty, but his penalty was judged by the opponent's goalkeeper in the right direction, the penalty was saved, and then the ball was rushed into the penalty area of the opposing player kicked out of the sideline. After that, both sides made no achievements, Xiao Yang had to reluctantly accept the 1:1 draw, he was very depressed and thought, Antu's injury not only made him lose a goal, but also made Gosau miss a penalty, the price is really heavy.
After the game, the team doctor told Xiao Yang that Antunovic had a sprained ankle and would have to rest for at least two weeks, and Xiao Yang calculated that Antunovic would miss at least two league games, but fortunately, Antunovic should be able to catch up with the League Cup qualifying round 4 against Slavia Prague on August 18.
In the best competitions in July, Xiao Yang was named the best coach of the month for the first time, and Avanzini was named the best player of the month, and these two honors also brought Xiao Yang dozens of live gold coins.
On August 6th, Gosho hosted the Zurich Grasshoppers, and there were many people who paid attention to this game, firstly, the Grasshoppers and the Gosau team played such a classic game last season, and secondly, there are now two main players of the Grasshoppers team in the Gosho team last season, one of whom is the "San Cabanas" in the minds of the Grasshoppers fans, and how they will play against their old club is a lot of attention.
In this game, Cabanas, who volunteered to start, played well, his defense in midfield was leaky, and he groomed Gosau's midfield in good order, and his running at all costs made it hard to believe that he was already a veteran over 32 years old.
The Grasshoppers were quickly put on the back foot by the midfield, but their head coach Geiger was at a loss and could only yell from the sidelines, hoping to stir up the team's fighting spirit to turn the tide of the situation, but the Grasshoppers players played with nothing but the same tenacious team they had against Gosau last season.
In the 34th minute, the Grasshoppers attacked, Cabanas broke the ball successfully in the backfield, Avandzini started to run forward at high speed for the first time, Cabanas sent the ball to Avanzini with an accurate long pass, Avanzini did not need to slow down, he caught up with the ball at high speed, and then turned his head to look at the situation in the penalty area, and crossed directly with his left foot without stopping, followed by the outflanked Eggman A powerful header pushed the ball into the net. After the goal, Gosau's players hugged each other to celebrate, but Cabanas did not participate in the celebration of his teammates, he turned back and silently walked to his defensive area, the back looked very lonely, this picture was filmed by a caring reporter, and became the headline picture of many newspapers after the game, touching countless fans.
In the second half, the Grasshoppers' attack did not improve, but Gosau scored again with a header from Avanzini's free-kick cross from the left side of the box by Coutinjo in the 66th minute to seal the win.
After the 0:2 defeat to Gosau, the Grasshoppers only accumulated 6 points in 6 games, 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses, ranking 8th, only ranked outside the relegation circle with a goal difference, and a reporter asked the head coach of the Grasshopper team Geiger at the post-match press conference: "Mr. Geiger, you were very confident at the beginning of your tenure that the Grasshopper team will regain its glory, but at present, the Grasshopper team has poor results and is about to fall into the relegation zone, what do you think about this." ”
Geiger replied with some embarrassment: "The season has only just started, and now we have only played six games and there are 36 rounds in the league, so it's too early to talk about it. The Grasshoppers have brought in a lot of great new players this season, but due to the run-in problem, they have not been able to play their own strength, so the Grasshoppers have a bad start, but I believe that the Grasshoppers are still a strong team and we will definitely be able to achieve good results this season. ”
The reporter asked: "You have sold a lot of veterans this season, including Cabanas and Meyer, who moved to Gosau, but in these six games, both of them have played very well, and Cabanas also instigated a goal for the team in today's game. So do you regret selling them? ”
"I don't regret it, they're really good players, but the new players I've brought to Grasshopper are just as good, and they're younger, they're the future of the Grasshoppers," Geiger said. ”
Geiger's remarks were scolded by Grasshoppers fans, who called on the Grasshoppers to fire Geiger, believing that Geiger's stupidity would make the Grasshoppers unstoppable.
Xiao Yang is not paying attention to Geiger now, he is now more focused on the next opponent, the St. Gallen team. St. Gallen don't have a great record in their history, having only won the Swiss top flight twice, once in 1904 and once in 2000, which is a long way from now, and they were almost relegated last season, only remaining in the Super League through the play-offs, but this season they have risen to prominence, with five wins and one draw in the first six rounds, and Gosau is at the top of the table with 16 points over four wins and two draws and 14 points, and this is because they have not changed their manager、Players are not made in the case of a big change。 The current top two positions of St. Gallen and Gossau have also shaken the Swiss football scene, with some bewildering the collective malaise of the traditional powerhouses and others cheering at the new forces stirring up the stagnant waters of Swiss football.
