At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Xiao Yang whether Gosau was punished for not being satisfied with their performance against none of the players on the pitch against Atletico Madrid, and Xiao Yang replied seriously: "No, it's just a normal rotation, we are preparing for the UEFA Cup semi-final against Porto." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info player performance? I'm happy because we made the cut! "Gosau's opponent in the semifinals of the League Cup has come out, it is the Portuguese giants Porto, Xiao Yang is still satisfied with this result, and he can't be dissatisfied, because the other group of matchups is AC Milan and Manchester United, which one is stronger than Porto, and he will steal the fun if he can draw Porto.

Of course, the reporters who are afraid that the world will not be satisfied with such an answer, and they still want to continue to ask questions, but Xiao Yang does not leak a drop of water on this question, and it is always this answer, and in the end he simply does not answer such a question, and the reporters give up. However, after the game, the major media still made all kinds of speculations about this unusual "rotation", but these speculations are none of Xiao Yang's business, and he will not admit it anyway.

On April 14, Gosau's league was played a day earlier, they challenged Basel away, this time Xiao Yang still sent the same lineup as the previous round, Basel still had no choice but Gosau, the two sides exchanged a 0:0 draw, and Zurich defeated Aarau 3:0 at home, narrowing the points gap with Gossau to 5 points, and still maintained the hope of winning the championship with 5 rounds left in the league.

At the press conference after the game, reporters asked Xiao Yang why he didn't send players for the Madrid game for two consecutive rounds, and Xiao Yang still replied seriously: "Isn't this normal?" We're away to Porto in four days' time and it's important to keep the strength of the main players at this point, so we rotated. ”

The reporters had to reluctantly accept Xiao Yang's statement again.

On April 18, the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup were played first, with Gosau taking on Porto away. Porto is a Portuguese giant, not only won the domestic league and cup championships many times in history, but also won the European Champions Cup twice and the UEFA Cup once, but because their players and even coaches will be coaxed after each time they win the major championship, their results in European competitions can not be sustained and stable, so they are always less than the top European giants, so they can only be regarded as a second-class strong team in Europe. They have had a good season with their signings, making it all the way to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and meeting a Swiss side who are in high spirits and looking to relive their dream of lifting the League.

In the game against Gosau, Porto's main force was exhausted, they launched a fierce attack on Gosau at the beginning, hoping to eat this opponent in one bite, but I didn't expect Xiao Yang to send the lineup although it was exactly the same as the lineup that lost 1:5 to Atletico Madrid in the last round, but they were judged to be two teams in this game, although they were away from home, but they also fought with Porto for an inch of territory, without concession, in the 18th minute, Ivanovic shared the ball in the backfield, and the captain Avazini took the ball to the front court at high speed. After making a one-two, he continued to dribble to the bottom line and rolled the ball into a cross, which Eggman flanked in front of the post and shot to the ground to open the scoring for Gosau.

After conceding the goal, Porto fought back in a big way, scoring an equaliser in the 34th minute by Serbian striker Jovanovic, but before they could calm down the excitement of the equaliser, a minute later, Egerman received a through ball from Lima and burst into the box with a powerful volley that smashed the ball into the top right corner of the goal, and Gosau exceeded the score again.

Subsequently, the Gossau players, who had not played two games, roared like a tiger, and pressed the Porto team in their own half of the field to attack wildly, and made many threatening shots, but due to bad luck they were unable to further expand the score, until the 85th minute of the second half, when Eggman scored a goal with a header from a corner kick to lock the score at 3:1, and Eggman also scored a hat-trick.

Gossau's 3-1 defeat of giants Porto, and it was still away, made Swiss football once again collectively excited, but due to Gosau's convulsive performance in the last round, they didn't dare to talk too much, just said that Gosau had half a foot in the final. And Xiao Yang's statement that he changed his players significantly after the first two rounds of the league is just an ordinary rotation has also been corroborated, because in this game, the Gosau players who did not play in the two games looked energetic and in very good condition, and they did perform after getting enough rest.

On April 21, Gosau's league was played a day earlier again, Gosau narrowly defeated Aarau 3:2 at home, Aarau is still hovering outside the relegation circle, so they are fighting fiercely, and Gosau did not send any more players from the youth team, but also sent a lot of rotation players, and because the next game is the home game against Porto, Xiao Yang told the players not to fight too fiercely, so as not to get injured, so Gosau's players are inevitably a little shrunken, the first 89 minutes, Gosau and Arau played 2:2, until the 89th minute, It was Eggman who scored the winning goal.

After this game, Gossau regained seven points ahead of Zurich, who drew 0-0 at home to Sion, which is already a huge lead with only five league games remaining.

On Wednesday 25 April, the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup ended with AC Milan beating Manchester United 1-0 and 2-1 on aggregate over two legs to reach the final, before Gosau will host Porto a day later to decide another place in the final.

At 7:45 p.m. on April 26, Gosau's home match against Porto started as scheduled, Gosau fans occupied most of Gosau's home fan stands early like a holiday, holding high various banners and slogans supporting Gosau team and waiting for the game to start, while Porto's fans with the team were only a few hundred people were able to enter, and they had fallen behind in momentum first.

In the non-stop cheers of the home fans, the Gosho team launched a tidal wave of onslaught against the Porto team at the beginning, losing 1:3 at home, and the Porto team, which was obviously lacking in confidence, looked extremely weak in front of the momentum of the Gosau team, they had no power to fight back, only the ability to parry.

In the 29th minute of the first half of the game, Porto who had been struggling to resist Gosau's offensive for nearly half an hour finally lost the ball, Ivanovic assisted to the front of the penalty area with a long shot, which was blocked by Porto's goalkeeper with one palm, the ball did not hit far, and it caused a scuffle after falling into the small penalty area, and finally was stabbed into the goal by Eggman with his right foot, this goal is not beautiful at all, but it is a very important goal, this goal made the fans cheer thunderously, and also made Xiao Yang stand up excitedly, The goal basically announced that the Gosho team had reached the final, and Xiao Yang did not believe that his team could collapse again after being punished.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Kautinjo received a powerful header from Horensten's cross to extend the score for Gosau, after this goal, Porto has completely lost their fighting spirit, Xiao Yang also let the players slow down the pace of the game to avoid injury, and replaced Kadinjo and Lima with Cabanas and Meyer one after another, solidifying the defense in the middle, controlling the pace of the game, and maintaining the score of 2:0 until the end of the game.
