Chapter 23: The main force

After the start of the second round, Gossau first successfully avenged Neuchâtel 2-1 at home on September 26, with Zancanaro and Lima contributing to the team respectively; But then they lost 0:2 cleanly away to leaders Zurich, and were avenged by their opponents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Xiao Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly, could it be that the second cycle is the first cycle of revenge? But if that happens, it would be nice, at least the second round could win one more game than the first.

However, the third game broke the cycle when Gossau surprised to beat Basel 1-0 away from home, with a golden 27th-minute strike from Kautinhoe to snatch three points away from home.

As in the first round against St. Gallen, on 16 October, Gossau and Basel met again in the second round of the Swiss Cup, this time at Gosau's home stadium, where Gossau eliminated Basel 1-0 to advance to the third round thanks to Egermann's goal in the 44th minute.

With these two tough wins, Gosau is much better off and now has 15 points in the league and has moved up one place in the table, while the cup is a powerhouse in the Lien Premier League. However, they also had losses, with Lima and Holensten both injured and not serious, but also had to rest for two games.

In the next two games, the unorganized Gosho team drew 2:2 at home to Lucerne, lost 0:1 away to Sion, and fell to eighth place, hovering outside the relegation circle, so that Wagner, who was staring at Gosau, was overjoyed, he published an article saying that the continuous encounter with strong teams finally made the Gosau team collapse, and Xiao Yang also played all the main forces in the cup The practice is not divided into primary and secondary, and too dense events have led to Gosau consecutive main players suffering injuries. Next, Gosau will have to face strong opponents such as the Grasshoppers and the Young Team in a row, and I believe that after this wave of devilish fixtures, Gosau will fall into the relegation circle and stay where they should be.

Xiao Yang didn't get angry after reading his article, he just pouted, is the devil schedule? Yes, consecutive matches against Zurich, Basel, Grasshoppers and Young Men should be called a devil's schedule, but there are only 10 teams in the Swiss Super League, isn't it normal to meet them in a row? And he doesn't seem to have any advantage against these teams. However, Xiao Yang also reflected on whether his approach was reasonable, and whether he should give up the Swiss Cup? But he thought about it for a while, and then he felt that what he was doing was not wrong. There are only 36 games in the Swiss Super League, and even if the Swiss Cup reaches the final, it will only be six or seven games, and Gossau has no European competitions this season, and all the games add up to only about 40 games, which is much less than the teams in the five major leagues often play 60 or 70 games a season. And now the young players in the team are the fastest time to shoot long balls, and they need a lot of official games to accumulate game experience, how can they be too many games? Besides, the cup is a competition that is not very important to the big teams, but if you win it, you can not only add a trophy to the empty room of honour in Gosau, but also enter the European competition next season. Thinking of this, he decided to stick to the main team in the cup this season, go as far as he can, and preferably win the championship.

On November 7, the Gosho team continued the "devil's schedule" that Wagner said, facing the Grasshoppers at home, but to Wagner's surprise, the Gosho team defeated the Grasshoppers 3:0, and in the 26th minute, Zancanaro received a corner kick from Avandzini, and the header rushed to the top for Gossau, Zancanaro has grown rapidly this season, he is not only solid defensively, but also often can use set-piece headers to score; In the 55th minute, Avandzini made a long pass across the field on the left side of the midfield to the right high-speed plugged in front of Horensten, who took two steps to cross at a 45-degree angle, Eggman rushed to the ball, stopped the ball and fired a low shot into the net before the central defender stretched out his foot to destroy; In the 80th minute, it was Avandzini who broke through the defense on the left side and crossed with his left foot, and the goalkeeper moved to the back point with the ball, ready to block the shot of the receiving player, but he didn't expect Horensten at the back point to cushion the ball directly to Lima in the middle, and Lima, who had just returned from injury, shook his head lightly and easily put the ball into the empty goal.

In addition to the score is very easy, the process is also very easy, the grasshopper team seems to have no power to resist, but the Gosho team is still very happy, because last season Gosho had a 0:5 away defeat at the feet of the opponent in the Swiss Cup, and the first round of the league this season was a 0:1 defeat away, and this time it was a small revenge to win the opponent 3:0 cleanly.

The Grasshoppers have also been surprisingly sluggish this season, having been knocked out of the cup competition early and falling into the relegation zone in ninth place after losing to Gossau in the league. However, their malaise is also understandable, they won the league title last season, and this season from the Champions League qualifying round to the Champions League group stage, which has given them a lot more games, and the Champions League games are hard-fought games, forcing them to focus most of their energy on the Champions League games, domestic games are inevitably a little absent-minded, and they also pay the price for their distraction.

After the success of the revenge grasshopper, on November 14, Gossau challenged St. Gallen away, but this time they did not let St. Gallen get revenge, with two goals from Coldinho and Horensten, Gossau beat St. Gallen 2:0.

After this league is over, the next game is another cup match, Xiao Yang looked at the opponent, and even called luck, this cup finally did not meet the opponent of the last league. However, it will be impossible to meet the same opponents in this cup competition, as the opponents of the previous league game, St. Gallen, have already been eliminated by Gossau himself in the first round.

This opponent is perhaps the weakest opponent that Gosau can face in a competitive competition this season, they are an amateur team, and it is indeed Gosau's luck to meet an amateur team in the third round, and in the end, Gosau defeated this weak opponent 3-0 to advance to the fourth round, with Eggman scoring one goal and Kautinhoe scoring two.

This game is very easy, but after the game, Xiao Yang began to pay attention to Kautinho, this young Portuguese high school forward did not get Xiao Yang's attention, because at the beginning Xiao Yang focused on cultivating Egerman, and the height and size of Egerman is about the same but one year older than Egerman, Kautinho is naturally the second choice, last season he rarely played the main team, this season Xiao Yang has also been trying to find a dexterous striker and Egerman partner, but has not been able to do so, so he has to keep letting Coldinhoe partner Egerman, Let him be the trailing forward behind Egerman. Unexpectedly, this Cardinhoe is very competitive, scoring 7 goals and 4 assists in a short playing time last season, and even surpassing Eggman in the number of goals this season. And Xiao Yang noticed that although Kautingho is a high school forward, about the same size as Eggman, he is faster and more accustomed to solving problems with his feet rather than his head. Xiao Yang pondered whether to focus on cultivating Kautinghuo in the same way. It seems that developing a player is not just based on his attributes and stats, but also how they play in actual games. This made Xiao Yang feel even more that the players under him were not a bunch of cold data, but flesh and blood.
