Chapter 69 Fines
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the crowd was in a state of flux, and the victory was historic for Gossau and the entire Swiss football scene, with a Swiss team reaching the UEFA Cup final for the first time in their history, so how could the fans of Gossau not be excited?
When Xiao Yang led the players around the stadium to thank the fans, an excited Paul leaned down from the stands and asked loudly: "Lin, we will all cheer for the final on May 9, and we will win then, right?" ”
Xiao Yang smiled and nodded, and then asked the players of Gosho: "Do you have the confidence to win the final!" ”
Gosau's players roared: "Yes! "Just kidding, that final is about their championship prize money and two weeks' wages withheld, how can they not win?
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked: "Mr. Lin, your team has now reached the final of the UEFA Cup, which is already the best result of a Swiss team in the UEFA Cup, are you satisfied?" ”
Xiao Yang said with a smile: "Now that you have entered the finals, who will be satisfied?" ”
The reporter asked: "So you want to win the UEFA Cup, but your opponent in the final is AC Milan, which is a great opponent, and they don't need me to introduce their brilliant record, right?" Are you confident that you can win them? ”
Xiao Yang said: "I have confidence in any opponent! It's not hubris, it's based on the strength of my team, and if a manager doesn't have confidence in his opponents, what's the game? Forget it about direct surrender. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Infoac Milan are certainly a great opponent, so aren't those we meet on our way to the final of the UEFA Cup great? ”
The reporter who asked the question was immediately speechless, and the other reporters were laughing, to say that it was not the first time that Xiao Yang had made the reporter unable to come to the stage, and the question asked by this reporter was too naïve, and it happened to hit Xiao Yang's muzzle. Now, with Gosau's results getting better and better, and Wagner's example, not many reporters dare to touch Xiao Yang's moldy head.
The final against AC Milan will be held on May 9 at the Municipal Stadium in Brasov, Romania, with 13 days to go, with two league games and a cup semi-final to play.
On April 29, Gossau challenged Sion away in the league, Gosau sent a large number of rotation players, and Sion, who still had a chance to enter the European competition, launched an extremely stubborn resistance, and finally only with a goal from Egerman in the 65th minute, Gossau won 1:0, because the title rival Zurich also won at the same time, the difference between the two sides is still 7 points, but the league is only 4 rounds.
On 2 May, Gossau travelled to Lucerne for a semi-final of the Swiss Cup, which they have had a terrible run in the league this season, holding two positions firmly in the relegation zone with the Grasshoppers, but in the Cup they have been on a high pitch until the semi-finals. In this game, they did their best, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of Gosau's third-line battle to bite Gosau, and they also fought very fiercely in the game. It wasn't until the 75th minute that Ivanovic opened the scoring for Gosho with a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and then, Kautinho was almost injured by a fierce tackle by the opposing defender in a dribble, and if he was injured at this time, he would definitely miss the League Cup final a week later, and the angry Kautinho jumped up and pushed the opponent's foul defender, and the other party was not to be outdone, and swung a punch, and the two suddenly scuffled together, fortunately, the other players on both sides were more restrained, and pulled the two apart, and the referee on duty each played fifty boards, sending both of them off together. In the end, the match ended in a hurry, and Gosau won 1-0 to advance to the final of the Swiss Cup.
After the game, Xiao Yang protested to the Swiss Football Association, and he made a collection of some bad fouls by Lucerne players in this game, as well as some bad fouls made by Gosau's opponents against Gossau players in some recent games, and sent them to the Swiss Football Association. He issued a statement and made a generous statement, saying that some opponents have recently committed all kinds of fouls on Gosau, all for the purpose of hurting people, which is a very dangerous tendency, and it is very lethal to Gosau, who mainly plays with technical play, and the Swiss Football Association should severely punish this kind of behavior to protect Gosau, a team that can win glory for Switzerland in the European arena. In addition, he also believes that Caudijö is innocent, of course it is wrong for him to do it, but the opponent's foul on him is enough to threaten his career, and it is understandable for him to act in anger, and I hope that the Swiss Football Association will take these into account and give him a lenient punishment.
After receiving the videotape sent by Xiao Yang, the Swiss Football Association finally made a ruling, and they imposed an additional penalty of two suspensions and a fine of 5,000 euros for two games in Cottinho, which is already quite light; For the defender who started the incident in Lucerne, they were suspended for five games and fined 10,000 euros, which is obviously a much heavier punishment. Xiao Yang immediately accepted the penalty and said that the club would pay the fine for Cowdingho.
On May 5th, Gosho went non-stop to challenge the St. Gallen team, the schedule of the Swiss league is relatively chaotic, and the order of the match is not very rigorous, so there is often a phenomenon of consecutive home games and consecutive away games, Xiao Yang has a lot of complaints about this kind of schedule, but there is no way, this is not for Gosau's family, everyone is the same. In order to avoid a tiring journey and prepare for the UEFA Cup final on May 9, Xiao Yang did not send a single main player for this game, or even let them go with the team to the away game, but let them rest in Gosau, and he once again sent many players from the youth team.
St Gallen have had a good season and are still third in the league, four points behind Zurich, and will be hoping to finish in the top two and have a chance to go to the UEFA Champions League. However, their head coach Moulinini learned to be good this time and he didn't say anything before the game.
In the game against St. Gallen, not long after the start, a player of St. Gallen made a back-tackle on Ivanovic, and the referee on duty immediately ran to the place where the foul was committed and showed a yellow card to the fouling player, and sternly warned him to be careful with his movements. Xiao Yang saw this scene and nodded secretly, it seems that the video he sent to the Swiss Football Association has worked, and the team that wants to rely on fouls to curb himself in the future must be careful.
After this yellow card, the players of the St. Gallen team really restrained a lot, and there were basically no serious fouls, but Gosau's lineup was not strong enough after all, although Esposito and Ribeiro contributed respectively, and finally Gosau still lost 2:3 at the feet of the St. Gallen team away from home, and Zurich chased after him and won again, and their points were only 4 points less than Gosau.
