Chapter Forty-Nine: Mutual Blank Papers

After the match against St. Gallen, Gosau did not have time to rest, so they rushed to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, to challenge Slavia Prague for a fourth round of the UEFA Cup qualifying round to decide who will enter the group stage of the UEFA Cup. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the flight arrived in Prague, all the players were tired, and Xiao Yang and the coaches hurriedly drove them to sleep. At this time, Xiao Yang couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, Ge Shao entered the Super League, and his finances improved, so he could afford to sit on a plane, if he was still challenging the league, he was afraid that he would have to take a bus to play an away game, and the players would not be tired to death if they played European games. But then again, if you are in the challenge league, it seems that you don't have much chance of playing in European competitions.

Although Slavia Prague is a traditional powerhouse in the Czech Republic, their strength is not strong, and the strength of the middle and lower reaches of the Swiss Super League is about the same, so Xiao Yang is not very worried about this opponent, the only thing to worry about is that the Gosau team is playing European competitions for the first time, and the experience seems to be a little lacking. Thinking of this, he was glad to have bought the likes of Kufrey and Cabanas, who have a lot of experience in the European arena.

Ahead of the match against Slavia Prague, Gosau's team doctor brought good news and bad news to Xiao Yang, the good news was that Antunovic had recovered from injury and was ready to play for this game; The cup news is that Salihovic has been checked and confirmed that he will be out for at least a week. These two news made Xiao Yang breathe a sigh of relief, Salihovic could not play is what he expected, he will not let him risk for this game, but Antunovic can play is great, he was worried that if Antu can't play, he will have to send a combination of Chivali and Pire, although Kufre can also play at center-back, but that is not the position he is used to after all.

Gosau did not fit in in their first European game, although in the 11th minute Gosau's right winger Horensten opened the scoring for Gosau with a cold shot from outside the box, but the opponents who were also eager to enter the group stage of the UEFA Cup then launched a fierce counterattack to overwhelm Gosau and pulled a goal back in the 37th minute, and the equaliser Slavia Prague was even more energetic, and the onslaught continued, so that Gosau could barely pass half time. This is a rare occurrence in Gosau. Thankfully, Kufrey and Cabanas played an important role, with their ferocious defence and loud shouting reassuring the young Gossau side, and captain Avanzini stepped up to step up and cut inside on a quick counter-attack, which was a dangerous shot that struck the left post and bounced off the ground for a flank by the panicked Slavia goalkeeper.

Xiao Yang regrets that if this goal had been scored, then Gosau would have scored two away goals and had almost stepped into the group stage of the League Cup with one foot. Avandzini's shot also restrained Slavia's arrogance a lot, and Gosau's sharp counter-attack made them jealous, and in the end, both teams failed to achieve anything in the ensuing game, and the two sides played 1-1.

Xiao Yang is still very satisfied with this score, this is only Gosau's first European game, and it is away again, and he can't ask too much of Gosau's young players. Xiao Yang believes that back at home, Gosau will be able to beat Slavia and enter the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

The draw in the League Cup also brought Xiao Yang 12 live gold coins income, Xiao Yang calculated, the League Cup game should be able to get 36 live gold coins, which is really higher than the Swiss Super League, this time, he has one more reason to enter the group stage of the League Cup, he must accumulate 1000 live gold coins as soon as possible, and become the chairman of the Gosho club.

Back in Switzerland, Xiao Yang received a call from Christine, it turned out that Christine was congratulating him on setting another record, Xiao Yang also felt very strange, as if he didn't remember what record was set, Christine said that Gosau has been unbeaten in 8 official matches since the beginning of the season, thus breaking the record of 7 unbeaten games set last season from November 7, 2010 to February 5, 2011. Xiao Yang then understood, but he didn't think much of this record, if you want to break the record, the last round of games will be broken, because the last official game of last season, the final of the Swiss Cup Gossau also won, this record can only be regarded as a single-season unbeaten record, but if you count the challenge group league, 8 games are not enough, he remembers that in the season of the overtake, in the end it seems to be undefeated in more than ten consecutive rounds. Of course, challenging for the league record is not much fun.

Xiao Yang thanked Christine, but he said very arrogantly that this record is nothing, and Christine will soon see the birth of a new record. Christine also smiled and said that he was confident that he would see Gossau set record after record.

Three days after returning from Prague, Gossau played at home to Lucerne in the league, and Xiao Yang once again sent a large number of substitutes, but Lucerne was still unable to resist Gosau's attack, and Gosau defeated Lucerne 4-1 with goals from Kautinho, Ribeiro, Ivanovic and Egerman who came on in the second half, in which Ribeiro scored a free kick from 30 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, and he used his left foot to take this free kick with good speed, power and angle. With a strong spin in the top right corner of the goal, the Lucerne goalkeeper, whose view was blocked by the wall, did not react.

On August 25, Salihovic returned from injury and was finally able to send all the main players to Gosho to beat the visiting Slavia Prague 3-0 at home, captain Avanzini scored two goals for the team, Kautinho was the icing on the cake, and Gosho successfully entered the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

At the end of the same day, Basel and Neuchâtel both defeated their respective opponents and entered the group stage of the UEFA Cup, and the young team lost in the Champions Cup qualifying play-offs, but won in the UEFA Cup qualifying round, and also entered the group stage of the UEFA Cup, so that the number of Swiss teams that entered the group stage of the UEFA Cup reached 4, plus Zurich, which entered the group stage of the Champions Cup, the number of teams in Switzerland that entered the group stage of this season's European competition reached an unprecedented 5, Let all the Swiss media cheer that the heyday of Swiss football has arrived.

In the subsequent draw ceremony for the group stage of the League Cup, Gosho's group was not too good, they were in Group G with Parma, Schalke 04 and Valladolid, these three opponents are far more famous and heritage than Gosau, look at Basel's opponents, Eindhoven, Kazan Ruby, Debresen, these opponents should be easier to deal with than their opponents, but look at other groups There are Manchester United, AC Milan, Porto, Atletico Madrid and other European giants, Xiao Yang can only be content.

Since there is not much buffer period in the group stage of the UEFA Cup, which will start on September 15, Xiao Yang must now consider rotation, fortunately there are more people in Gosau to play, and the substitutes have also had a lot of opportunities to play this season, plus many young players have been carefully guided by Cabanas, Kufre and Meyer in training and games, they have improved quickly, and it should be enough to cope with the Swiss domestic league.

On August 28, Gosho challenged the youth team away in the league, because both teams had just played a life-and-death battle related to the right to qualify for the League Cup three days ago, so the game invariably sent a mixed lineup of the main and substitutes, and the state of both teams in the game was not very good, and finally after 90 minutes of dull battle, the two sides exchanged a 0:0 score.
