After taking a 4-0 lead, Xiao Yang replaced three starters in a row, the Gosho team also slowed down the attacking tempo, and the Neuchâtel team also had no intention of fighting, and in the end, the Gosau team won 4-0 at home, and also achieved four consecutive wins since the start of the league.
At the same time, this is also the first game of the season for Gosau to concede a clean sheet, and this is what makes Xiao Yang the most satisfied.
After four rounds of league adjustments, the state of the Gosho team has finally been adjusted, of course, it is still not the same as the state after the pre-season training of the system in previous seasons, but there is still no big problem in coping with the Swiss Super League.
The European competition has not yet started, and when it starts, the condition of the players should only get better and better, which Xiao Yang is still very relieved of the coaches of the team, they are all experienced and high-level coaches, plus the club's various high-tech instruments to detect the physical condition of the players, can fully develop a perfect training plan to help the players recover their condition.
Besides, this year is a big tournament year, the players of the Gosho team have been affected, and the main opponents of the Gosho team are also many internationals from various countries, and they will not be affected less than the Gosau team, everyone is still on the same starting line.
The next three consecutive league games are all played once a week, and the schedule is not tight, so the Gosho team also played relatively easily.
On 10 August, Gossau opened the scoring for Gossau when he opened the scoring in the 30th minute when he opened the scoring for Vanzini after breaking down the left flank and shooting inside.
Less than a minute into the second half, Horensten's low cross set up Egerman's header to make it 2-0.
Less than two minutes after Egerman's goal, he was tackled from behind by an opposing defender in a dribble, his ankle was a little swollen, and after the team doctor treated the injury, he wanted to continue playing, but was replaced by Xiao Yang without hesitation. Eggman kept saying that it was okay, but Xiao Yang didn't want to take risks, because Eggman's position was too important, and if he was allowed to continue to play with injuries in such a game where the overall situation was decided, it would be a huge loss to the Gosho team if the injury was aggravated.
Esposito came on in place of Eggman, and in the 78th minute, he received a header from Caudijö and stabbed the ball in front of the goal to make it 3-0 for Gosau.
Neither team scored again, and in the end, Gossau won 3-0 away at Sion. They have also won five in a row since the start of the league season.
After the game, the team doctor told Xiao Yang that after further examination, Egerman's ankle was fine, and with his physical fitness, he would be fine after a few days of rest at most, and he would not even miss the next round against Zurich.
Xiao Yang was relieved when he heard the news, if Eggman was really injured and had to rest for a month or two, the attack power of the Gosho team would drop a bit, at least there would be one less absolute strength point when breaking through the dense defense. Although Caudijö's physical fitness and goalscoring ability are also very strong, I don't know if it's because of his personality, he is more accustomed to using his mind and technique to defeat opponents, and rarely fights against opposing defenders.
Of course, this is an advantage when paired with Egerman, and it can complement Egerman, but if Egerman is missing, and Cardinhoe is the core of the attack, there will always be a feeling that something is missing.
On August 17, in the sixth round of the Swiss Super League, Gossau met Zurich in another battle for the top spot.
Zurich have also had a good season, with three wins and two draws in the first five rounds of the league going unbeaten and sitting second in the table. They have also been on a high pitch in the Champions League qualifying round, and now they have reached the final round, and if they win in this round, they can enter the Champions League group stage for the second consecutive season, which is very important for them, after all, entering the Champions League group stage means at least tens of millions of euros in income.
With this income, it means that they can continue to increase their strength, and continuing to increase their strength means that they can increase their competitiveness and continue to participate in European competitions. It's a virtuous circle, and it's fair to say that the Zurich team is on the right path.
As it is away to challenge a strong Gosau team, Zurich coach Char Landers is also very low-key, he said in an interview with reporters after coming to Gosau that his goal in Gosau is to get a point, and for Zurich, the more important game is the final round of the Champions League play-offs against Zenit of Russia in three days.
The Zurich team really didn't play at their best against Gosau, Charlanders hid several important players, and in the game, the Zurich team didn't fight very hard.
Of course, Gossau didn't do it either, with a narrow 2-0 win over Zurich.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Ivanovic made a long pass to the penalty area in the backfield, the Zurich team's penalty area was in chaos, Eggman jumped high in the chaos and headed the ferry, and Avanzini, who was inserted at high speed on the left side of the penalty area, stabbed the ball into the goal at a small angle, and the goalkeeper of the Zurich team Miller could not reach it and could only watch the ball go into the net.
The game was tepid until the 81st minute of the second half, when Avandzini returned the favor by cutting inside after dribbling down the flank, sending a through ball that Eggman received and fired home from the middle of the box to score the second goal of the game for Gosau.
2:0, the Gosho team has won six consecutive victories since the start of the game without any suspense.
Zurich lost the battle at the top of the table, but they won 2-1 away at Zenit in the Champions League qualification three days later to take the lead over two legs, so Charlanders was satisfied.
On 24 August, Gossau continued to play at home, this time against Lucerne, who narrowly escaped relegation last season.
Because the Gosau team is going to Monaco on the 29th to participate in this season's European Super Cup, the opponent is Inter Milan, so Xiao Yang also hid half of the main players in the game against the Lucerne team, including Eggman, although this made Eggman very dissatisfied, but Xiao Yang still suppressed Eggman, he asked Eggman to completely heal the injured ankle, and then scored a few more goals in the Super Cup to defend the European Super Cup for the club.
As soon as these words came out, Eggman nodded in agreement: "OK, boss, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you in the UEFA Super Cup, we have won this championship!" ”
Esposito and Zhou Guodong started and partnered the front line of the game, but Esposito scored for the first time after the opening.
After Esposito kicked off in the center circle, he passed the ball to Zhou Guodong, and then ran to the penalty area, after Zhou Guodong and Antunovic fell once, he suddenly sent a long diagonal pass, after Tobinski who was inserted at high speed on the left side got the ball, in the face of the opponent's defenders who were waiting for him, he turned and knocked the ball back to the left-back Ribeiro who inserted the assist, Ribeiro did not stop the ball and crossed directly, Esposito just ran into the penalty area, facing the unstable Lucerne team backline, he scored with an easy header, and Gosau led 1:0.
The Gosau fans in the stands cheered, and Xiao Yang also sat on the sidelines and applauded. Ribeiro's combination with the wingers is an attacking routine that the Gosho team has focused on practicing this season, and the wingers of the Gosho team are now the focus of the opponent's defense, and it is difficult for them to make comfortable crosses, and Ribeiro's crosses are no less footwork than the wingers, and he is under slightly less defensive pressure, so Xiao Yang has developed this offensive routine.
This attacking routine has proved to be very effective, and this goal is already the second goal scored through this routine this season.
Xiao Yang sighed, no matter how strong the team is, it still requires new changes, if it is always a routine to fight the world, sooner or later it will be understood by the opponent. For example, Barcelona's results are not as good as they were a few seasons ago, in fact their strength has not declined, but they have been thoroughly studied by various opponents, and they have not changed much, so they will naturally be restrained.
The coaching staff of the Gosho team has worked very effectively, they watch countless videos every day, develop various tactical plays for the team, and then let the players practice in training, it is their hard work that will make the Gosau team attack like a bamboo, and the defense is as stable as a mountain.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Sampedro crossed the middle on the right side, Antunovic inserted a long-range shot and hit a world wave, the ball hung into the dead corner and went into the net, 2:0, Gosho extended the lead.
After that, both teams slowed down the pace of the game, neither side was able to score again, Gossau won 2-0 against Lucerne, won seven consecutive league games since the start of the league, and the top of the table, and now the second place in the table is surprisingly second place St. Gallen, they only finished eighth in the table last season, failed to enter the European competition, this season they sacked Molinini, brought in experienced manager Pellet, the change of coach is like a change of knife, they have four wins, two draws and one loss in the first seven rounds of games with 14 points, the performance is quite eye-catching.
Of course, the points advantage of the Gosau team in the league is still quite obvious, which also allows Xiao Yang to set his sights on the European arena.
On 28 August, Xiao Yang led the team to Monaco, where this year's UEFA Super Cup will be played the next day at the Louis II Stadium, where they will face last season's UEFA Champions League winners Gossau and Europa League winners Inter Milan.
Inter Milan brought in young reserve coach Andre after Jose Mourinho's departure last season. Stramaccioni took over as the head coach of the first team, which should be said to be a last resort.
After taking charge, Stramaccioni led Inter Milan to a decent record in Serie A, winning third place in Serie A last season, but in the group stage of last season's Champions League, they were only third in the group and did not qualify from the group, but fortunately they went all the way to the Europa League to win the final title.
It was the first title of Stramaccioni's career, and it made Inter Milan owner Moratti happy for a while, and Stramaccioni also retained his position as Inter Milan's head coach with this title.
Gossau played against Inter Milan two seasons ago, when the manager was Jose Mourinho, and now not only has the manager of Inter Milan changed, but their main squad at that time has also changed almost half. In just two years, there have been such big changes, which also makes Xiao Yang can't help but have a feeling that things are wrong.
Stramaccioni was born in 76 and is not yet 40 years old, so he can be regarded as a young and promising young coach, but this is only his second season of leading the first team independently, and his results, honors and other aspects are not yet comparable to Xiao Yang, who is younger than him.
Stramaccioni was obviously not convinced by this, and after he led the team to Monaco, he gave an interview to reporters, in which he publicly declared that he would defeat Gossau in this game, break the myth of Gosau's unbeaten European competition in the last two seasons, and win the first UEFA Super Cup in Inter Milan's history.
A reporter reminded him that his predecessor Jose Mourinho had said similar things before the game against Gosau, but then Mourinho's ending was not very good.
Stramaccioni was most annoyed by comparisons between him and Jose Mourinho, replying: "Jose is Jose, I am me, and Inter today is very different from the one two years ago. We are a brand new team, I believe there will be a new beginning, we will definitely recast the glory of Inter Milan! ”
After hearing Stramacioni's bold words, Xiao Yang said lightly: "It's a good thing that young people have fighting spirit. Is it possible for Inter Milan to win against Gosau? All I can say is that anything is possible. ”
After Stramacioni heard the reporter relay Xiao Yang's words, his lungs were about to explode, Xiao Yang was younger than him, but he called himself a young man there. But he can't care about it, in the football circle, Xiao Yang is far from being comparable to himself in terms of qualifications and achievements, and others will only take it for granted when he says this.
Stramacioni swallowed his breath and didn't say anything to reporters, but he was ready to beat Gosau in this game and then give him back the words at the post-match press conference.
In fact, Xiao Yang didn't mean to be angry with Stramaccioni, he said that sentence was really unintentional, he has been coaching the Gosau team for five seasons, compared with Stramaccioni, he can be regarded as a senior, and he is on an equal footing with those fifty or sixty-year-old coaches, subconsciously he thinks that the fledgling Stramaccioni is lower than his own generation, so he said something to reporters.
He doesn't have much heart to fight with his opponent now, so he doesn't want to say anything to stimulate the opponent, but he didn't expect such an unintentional word to strongly stimulate the opponent, if he knew that it would be such a result, he would definitely say that he was shot while lying down, or maybe he had his own aura of hatred, and he was born to be hated.
The reporters wanted to stir up some disputes between the two coaches, but they didn't expect the two coaches to say much, which couldn't help but make them a little disappointed, and they could only focus on the game itself.
It's unbelievable to say that Inter Milan, as one of Europe's top giants, is participating in the UEFA Super Cup for the second time in history, the first time being the year when Jose Mourinho led the team to win the treble, and they lost 0-2 to the then UEFA Cup champion Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup.
As a result, Inter Milan have never won the UEFA Super Cup, in stark contrast to their local rivals AC Milan, who have won the UEFA Super Cup the most times in history, having won the UEFA Super Cup five times, which is unbearable for the Inter people who are desperate to break that record and win the UEFA Super Cup.
This is the third time that the Gosho team has participated in the UEFA Super Cup, and they have won one and lost one in the first two competitions, thus adding a UEFA Super Cup trophy to the Gosau club's honor room.
According to common sense, Inter Milan's game motivation should be more than that of the Gosho team, but the players of the Gosau team are always tirelessly chasing glory under Xiao Yang's tutelage, and their game motivation is no worse than that of Inter Milan.
On August 29, at 8 p.m. at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, the Super Cup match between Inter Milan and Gossau began.
Before the game, Xiao Yang and Stramaccioni shook hands cordially, and there was no unhappiness between the two, but those who were interested could see that after Stramaccioni shook hands with Xiao Yang and sat back in the coach's seat, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy face.
CTV's football commentator Duan Xuan was introducing the match to the audience: "Today we are broadcasting the UEFA Super Cup 2014 live against last season's UEFA Champions League champions Gossau of Switzerland and last season's Europa League winners Inter Milan of Italy. Gossau also won last year's UEFA Super Cup, a title that Inter Milan have not won in their history. It remains to be seen whether Gosau will defend their title or Inter Milan will win the first UEFA Super Cup in the club's history. ”
"Gosau's starting line-up for today is goalkeeper Cecarelli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Gugelman, centre-backs Salihovic and Chevali, midfielder Branislav Ivanovic, left winger Avanzini, right winger Horensten, midfielder Lima, and a combination of Egerman and Kautinho up front. This lineup is also a lineup that Xiao Yang often uses, and it is quite aggressive. ”
"Inter Milan's starting line-up is goalkeeper Handanovic, left-back Pereira, right-back Jonathan, central defenders Ranocchia and Juan, midfield four Zanetti, Kuzmanovic, Kovacic, Shelotto, and forwards Cassano and Rocchi. This squad is also the main squad of Inter Milan in Serie A. ”
"With the whistle of the referee on duty, German Weiner, the game officially began."
In recent years, due to the economic downturn, some giants in Serie A have reduced their investment, and Inter Milan's lineup has changed a lot from two years ago.
Of course, there is still an inevitable decline in the strength of Inter Milan without superstars, who stumbled into the top four of the league last season to retain their Champions League spot. In the match against Gosau, they fell behind shortly after the opening.
In the sixth minute, a Lima breakthrough down the middle came close to opening the scoring for Gosau, but his shot from the edge of the box went just wide of the left post. This dangerous situation also scared Inter Milan fans into a cold sweat.
In the 9th minute, a breakthrough goal from Cassano gave Rocchi a chance to shoot, but Rocchi's shot was too straight and was directly received by Cescarelli.
Inter then were pinned down in their own half, and in just six or seven minutes, Gosau had three shots in a row, and if it weren't for their Slovenian goalkeeper Handanovic's excellent performance and high and low blocks, Gosau would have taken the lead by now.
Stramaccioni couldn't sit still, he got up from the dugout and yelled at his players to step up their attack.
Inter Milan's players have to strengthen their attack? It's good to be able to hold on to the current situation, the pressure on them is too great, their midfielders are all skilled, physical, and tactically executed, so that the players of Inter Milan are completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Gosho team. They didn't know how Xiao Yang had so many freak-level players under him.
Pressed by Stramaccioni, Inter Milan had to reluctantly launch an attack after getting the ball once, Croatian midfielder Kovacic advanced quickly from the back, passed Lima, and dribbled the ball all the way to the front.
Kovacic, who also came through Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia, was briefly team-mate with Antunovic before moving to Inter Milan during the winter break last season. He is widely regarded in European football for his excellent technique, strong dribbling ability, and excellent overall vision and organisational skills. However, he did not get many opportunities to start when he arrived at Inter Milan, so his game experience was much different from that of Antunovic, who was only half a year older than him, and now Antunovic has become the core of the Croatian national team's midfield, and the main midfield of the European champion Gosau, but he is still only emerging from the stars.
After Kovacic took the ball to the front, he found that Inter Milan did not have many people to meet him in the front, and they were all stared at, he couldn't find the ball for a while, just after he hesitated a little, Ivanovic decisively stepped up, cut off Kovacic's foot ball, and then directly made a diagonal long pass, handing the ball to Avanzini on the left.
