After the Sau team drew with Paris Saint-Germain, it topped the group with 10 points from 4 games, and in the other game of this round of this group, Manchester City defeated CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria 4:0 away without any suspense, ranking second in the group with 9 points in 4 games, Paris Saint-Germain only has 4 points, far from the top two points in the group, and the prospect of qualifying is bleak, and poor CSKA Sofia, with these three wolf-like opponents in the same group, conceded 19 goals in 4 games, scored only one goal, Maybe by the time the group stage is over, the number of goals they have conceded will set a record for the Champions League group stage, and then they will definitely scold these opponents for being too unparticular and not saving any face for themselves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On November 10, in the 16th round of the league, the Gosho team ushered in the challenge of the young team at home, Xiao Yang sent a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, and the result was a 3:2 victory over the young people.

Although the Gosau team has not yet qualified in advance in the Champions League group stage, Xiao Yang, who has qualified for the qualification, still fulfilled his promise not to rotate Egerman, and in this game, he let Egerman play the whole game, and Egerman did not disappoint Xiao Yang. In the 23rd minute, Eggman received a low cross from Tobinski and opened the scoring for Gossau with a powerful header, and Gosau led the young team 1-0.

In the 39th minute, Cabanas broke the ball at the back and passed straight to Lima in front, Lima took the ball to the edge of the penalty area and shot vigorously, the ball was saved by the goalkeeper of the youth team, Esposito cleverly captured the landing point of the ball and easily blocked the ball into the empty goal. The score became 2:0.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, the young team pulled a goal back to make the score 1:2, but just five minutes later, Egerman received a direct pass from Lima and burst into the box with a low shot to seal the victory for Gosau.

Although the youngsters scored another goal in stoppage time, it was too late, and in the end, Gosau still managed to get a thrilling victory.

After this match, it is time for the national team break, and the second place finishers in each group of the European zone of the World Cup qualifiers will face off against each other to decide who will qualify for the World Cup finals through a play-off. Switzerland have already qualified for the World Cup finals as group winners and will not have to play in the play-offs, but the Swiss Football Federation has arranged two friendlies away to the Netherlands on 14 November and at home to Croatia on 19 November.

Originally, these were two inconsequential games, but the Swiss team still called in a number of the main players of the Gossau team, Egerman, Horensten, Ivanovic, Salihovic, Chivali, Gugelmann and others all responded, and Antunovic, who had just returned from injury, was also called into the Croatian national team, which made Xiao Yang quite complaining, thinking that this kind of game was meaningless and consumed the physical strength of his players, but he had nothing to do, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, fortunately, the Swiss Football Association also led the Gossau team. In terms of the schedule, Gosho was given a lot of preferential treatment.

Egerman is happy with these kinds of games, and he just thinks there are too few games these days, and in both games, he scored one goal each, which increased his annual tally to 86.

After the two national team matches, many international players in the Gosho team returned to the club with a tired, looking at these tired players, Xiao Yang was helpless, the FIFA virus is really fierce.

Xiao Yang simply gave the main players who returned to the team two days off, and he laughed at himself, this is really a FIFA treat, and Ge Shao pays for it.

On November 23, the Gosho team went to the away team to play an amateur team Etoile-Carouge in the third round of the Swiss Cup, except for Egerman, the players who played these two national team games Xiao Yang did not send a single player, Gosho team played with the vast majority of the substitute lineup, but the substitute lineup of the Gosho team is not comparable to the amateur opponent, the Gosho team won 5:0 in this game.

In this game, Eggman scored twice, while the substitutes of Gosau, who had rested for more than ten days, were full of energy and good form, with Esposito and Cecaroni scoring one each and Sampedro also netting a brilliant direct free-kick.

After playing this Swiss Cup with a substitute lineup, on November 26, the main team of the Gosho team recuperated and welcomed the opponent of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage at home, CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria.

Xiao Yang fielded a full main lineup in this game, and as a result, Gosau's team won the CSKA Sofia with a devastating momentum.

Just five minutes into the game, Gossau captain Avazini took advantage of a long-range shot from outside the box after cutting inside to give Gossau the lead and set the tone for the game.

In the 21st minute, Egerman received a corner kick from Ribeiro in a corner kick tactic and headed it to the top to make it 2:0 for Gosau.

At this point, there was basically no suspense about the outcome of the game, and Gosau would qualify from the group one round earlier, but Egerman's desire to score was still strong, and he was looking for scoring opportunities throughout the game, and his teammates tried to create scoring opportunities for Egerman.

In the 37th minute, Gossau played a wonderful team cooperation, first Antunovic found Horensten who was inserted at high speed on the right side with an accurate long pass in the backfield, Horensten knocked the ball to Kautinho at the edge of the penalty area, Kautinho knocked the ball back to Ivanovic after controlling the ball, Ivanovic made a long shot, but sent a precise diagonal pass, Eggman burst into the penalty area, received this pass behind all defenders, and faced the goalkeeper of CSKA Sofia, Egerman calmly pushed a close corner to make it 3-0 for Gosau, and he himself scored twice.

In the 51st minute of the second half, CSKA Sofia had a rare chance to counter-attack, but their striker's one-on-one shot was saved by Gosau's goalkeeper Cicarelly. CSKA Sofia won a corner kick opportunity, and in the battle for the corner, CSKA Sofia midfielder Chikov fired a cold shot from the penalty area, which hit Antunovic who returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense, and rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal, and Checarelli was helpless against the goal.

The surprise goal left CSKA Sofia's players ecstatic, and it was only their second goal in the fifth round of the group stage. However, scoring against opponents like Gossau and Manchester City is enough to satisfy them.

Just three minutes after Gossau conceded the goal, Egerman suddenly pulled his foot and shot from distance after receiving Avandzini's cross from the edge of the penalty area, scoring a hat-trick and rewriting the score for Gossau to make it 4:1.

In the 81st minute, Ivanovic shared the ball in the midfield, Gosau's right-back Gugelman, who had an assist, received the ball and crossed the bottom, Kautinho nodded the ball in front of the ball and gave the ball to Eggman at the back point, Eggman outflanked it in place, easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, and staged an amazing quadruple joy.

The goal also ended the carnage for Gosau, who eventually won 5-1 at home to CSKA Sofia. In the other match of this group, which ended at the same time, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Manchester City 3-2 at home, retaining a chance for themselves.

Paris Saint-Germain In this tragic game, Ravic was injured, and Sissoko received two yellow cards and was sent off in the last minute of the game, in addition, Paris Saint-Germain also received four yellow cards, you can imagine how fierce the game was.

Paris Saint-Germain have seven points from five games after beating Manchester City, and in the last round they played CSKA Sofia, and if nothing else, they should be able to win their opponents and accumulate 10 points; Manchester City, on the other hand, have nine points from five games, and they have the advantage of scoring more away goals in a head-to-head comparison with Paris Saint-Germain, so they can qualify as long as they don't lose to Gossau in the final round of home games against Gosau.

Gosau is now 13 points from 5 games, and even if they lose to Manchester City away in the last round, they are bound to be the top of the group, so Gosau can be said to have no desire in the group stage, so although Paris Saint-Germain won, the team is still shrouded in gloom.

After the game of the Gosho team, at the press conference after the game, the participating reporters basically did not ask questions related to this game, but asked questions related to the next game of the Gosho team against Manchester City, as if the head coach of CSKA Sofia did not exist at all, which made the head coach of the CSKA Stoichkov look quite uncertain, although we are here to play soy sauce, you don't have to show so obviously.

The reporters didn't care about Stoichkov's mood now, and they kept asking Xiao Yang: "Mr. Xiao Yang, first of all, congratulations to your team on winning this game and locking the top spot in this group." Paris Saint-Germain won at home to Manchester City today, so the result of your next round against Manchester City will determine the fate of Paris Saint-Germain, if you can win away at Manchester City, they have a good chance of qualifying, otherwise, they will be eliminated, will you do your best to beat Manchester City in the next round? ”

Xiao Yang looked at it and asked a French reporter, no wonder he was so Paris Saint-Germain. Xiao Yang cleared his throat and replied: "First of all, I still reiterate my principles, I am a head coach, I will try my best to win all games." However, there are a lot of surprises in football and Manchester City are a very strong team and the next round is on their home turf, so I can't be sure of beating them. ”

The French reporter was anxious: "But Mr. Lin, your team has beaten Manchester City in the past, and it was very easy, which shows that the strength of Gosau's team is above Manchester City." You wouldn't deliberately release water, would you? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yang to answer, another English reporter quit and said to the French reporter: "Gossau also beat Paris Saint-Germain at home, and it was easy, but they drew with Paris Saint-Germain away from home, and it was very difficult, does this mean that Gossau has released water on Paris Saint-Germain away from home?" We English can't say such a brain-dead theory, and only you French can say it. ”

The French reporter's face was flushed, but he still refused to give up, and asked Xiao Yang: "Mr. Lin, I hope that when the time comes, I can respect your work ethic and send all the main players in the game against Manchester City." ”

Xiao Yang was upset when he heard this, you little reporter, why do you criticize my personnel arrangements, you can't help but be too lenient, right? FIFA can't control me who I send to play, let alone you? Besides, why should I send my main players to fight Manchester City in a game that does not matter to Gossau at all for the sake of the life and death of Paris Saint-Germain? If we had come to this point, would PSG have fought for us? There shouldn't be such a noble person, right? Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Yang still said with a smile on his face: "People who often watch the games of the Gosho team know that there is no main force and substitute in the Gosho team, and I decide the list of players to play according to the physical condition and competitive state of the players." ”

Xiao Yang is talking nonsense with his eyes open, but there is really nothing that can be done by French reporters, although everyone knows who the main players of the Gosau team are, but Xiao Yang wants to be stunned to say that his substitute players are in better condition, and if he wants to send them up, saying that they are the main players, then no one has a problem.

When the England reporter heard Xiao Yang's words, he was happy all of a sudden, he nodded straight, and he wished that before the next round of games, Xiao Yang announced that all these players who played today were not in good condition and could not play.

Ancelotti is very helpless, today Paris Saint-Germain team conceded in the last minute, resulting in the score from 3:1 to 3:2, the difference in this goal is a world of difference, originally the last round only needs Gossau team to draw away Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain team can qualify, now it has become the last round Gossau team must win Manchester City team away, Paris Saint-Germain team can qualify.

If it only needs to draw against Manchester City, Ancelotti believes that Gosau can still do it, but when they have no desire and Manchester City's fighting spirit is high, it is simply an impossible task to hope that Gosau will beat Manchester City, why should Gosau fight Manchester City away for the benefit of Paris Saint-Germain? Asking himself, Ancelotti thinks that it is impossible to change himself, and if he injures a few of his main players, it will really be worth the loss.

Although he was almost desperate, Ancelotti still held on to the hope of what happened, and made a statement in the media, saying that he hoped that Gosau would be able to snipe Manchester City with all his might in the final round of the group stage, adhering to the principle of fair play.

Xiao Yang read Ancelotti's remarks and sneered at him, you didn't give me money, and Manchester City has no enmity with us, why should I help you snipe Manchester City? Then again, I can't do that even if you give me money, wouldn't that be a gamble?

The English media mercilessly ridiculed Ancelotti's remarks, saying that he was too naïve to rely on others to help him if he didn't do anything.

And the French media and the English media have a war of words, anyway, according to them, if Gosau does not win Manchester City in the last round, it will be a release.

Xiao Yang is too lazy to pay attention to the media's verbal battles, he still has a lot of things to do now. After the match against CSKA Sofia, Gossau will take on second-placed Zurich in the league away on 1 December.

Zurich have also played five games in the Champions League group stage, they have a good record, five rounds of 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses and 4 points, although now there is no hope of qualifying from the group, but if they can win away to PSV Eindhoven in the final round of the game, they can also participate in the knockout stage of the Europa League as third in the group. This is also very important for the Zurich team, so they have to give it their all in the final round of the group stage.

But for the Zurich team, the league is also they can not give up, currently in the Swiss Super League, the Gosau team with 16 rounds of 13 wins, 3 draws and 42 points of excellent record at the top of the table, while the Zurich team with 16 rounds of 9 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses with a record of 33 points in the second place, if the Zurich team can win at home to the Gosau team in this game, they will narrow the gap with the Gosau team to 6 points, and there is still some hope for the title.

However, if Zurich lose to Gosau, they may only be one point away from Basel in the third place in the league, and they are second in the league and can participate in the Champions League will also be in jeopardy, so this league is also crucial for the Zurich team, although the schedule of the Zurich team is also very difficult, but they must also bite the bullet and play in this game.

Gosau has locked up the first place in the group in the Champions League, and the current schedule is much easier than that of Zurich, and Xiao Yang does not want to overwork his main players, so although this game is another top battle and an away game, Xiao Yang still sent half of the substitutes.

Zurich and Gossau played a sparkling game at the top of the table in Switzerland, with the top scorers of both teams, Eggmann and Lewandowski, scoring a goal each in the first half to draw 1-1.

In the second half of the game, both teams had some good scoring opportunities, but the goalkeepers of both teams played very well, until the final stage of the game The score was still 1:1, until the 89th minute, Eggmann stopped Ribeiro's 45-degree long pass with his chest with his back to the goal in the penalty area, and when all the Zurich defenders thought Eggman would shoot on his own, Eggman unexpectedly turned and swept the ball towards the goal, and Cowdingho appeared at the back post in time to outflank it. Rewrite the score to 2:1 for Gosso.

In five minutes of stoppage time, Zurich laid siege to Gosau's goal, but Gosau's defenders were united to keep the score 2-1 until the end, and in the end, Gosau took an important step on their way to the title by beating Zurich away in a crucial battle for the top spot.

After the game, the Swiss media praised Egermann's selflessness, because Egerman has now scored 93 goals in this year's competition, only seven goals away from the 100-goal mark, at this time Gosho has not had many games, so every scoring opportunity is very important, but that time when he got a very good shot in the penalty area, he passed the ball to the better position of Kautinho in order to take care of the overall situation of the global team, and helped Kautinho score a goal that sealed the victory for Gosau.

However, Egerman dismissed the praise from the media, in his opinion, the pass to Kautinho was nothing, and now that Gossau has five competitive games left this year, it is not difficult for him to score a "measly seven" goals in five games, so he does not need to rush to seek goals.

On 8 December, Gossau continued their away trip to Sion in the league for the final match of the first half of the Swiss Super League. Since the final round of the Champions League group stage against Manchester City on December 11 was no longer relevant to the Gosau team, Xiao Yang sent all the main players in this game.

Despite sending all their main forces, the Gosho team still encountered strong resistance in this game. Sion are now sixth in the league and are on the threshold of qualifying for next season's Europa League, so they are now taking every league game very seriously, and since this game is the last game before the winter break for Sion, they don't need to hold anything back and give it their all.

As a result, the course of the game was the same as Gosau's away game against Zurich, with Egerman's goal in the first half helping Gossau to draw 1-1 with Sion, and it was not until the 84th minute of the second half that Caudijö scored the winning goal for Gossau to give Gossau a 2-1 away win over Sion.

With Zurich held to a draw away from home in the other match that ended at the same time, the gap between Gossau and Zurich extended to 14 points. In the half-way league, this is already a huge points gap.

The pro-Zurich Swiss media can't help but lament that this season's Swiss Super League title seems to be in the pocket of Gossau again, when will the Swiss Super League be truly competitive? The sour smell of their words could be smelled far away.

Of course, Xiao Yang will not pay attention to the jealousy of these media, for him, it would be good if the Gosau team could win all the championships they could get, so that he would not let the Gosau team lose the championships they could have won for the so-called competition.

Eggman's goal in this game also brought his total goals for the year to 94, not only breaking the annual total goal record of 93 goals set by Messi just last season, but also only 6 goals away from the 100-goal mark, but there are only 4 games left for the Gosho team, so there is still a lot of suspense about whether he can break through the 100 goals this year.

Egerman's breaking Messi's annual total goal record was also widely reported by the European media, and all influential media reported on it in a big way, and Egerman's goalscoring ability also impressed everyone.
