Chapter 145 Not a Grade

After the start of the game, Rexos kicked off first. Facing the powerful Porto, and at the Dragon Stadium again, Rexos adopted a tactic of defending and counterattacking. ┡』ΩNovel＊Ω

Although Porto, who is more skilled, is not familiar with Rexos, but he did not take them to heart. He pressed fast at the beginning and accelerated the pace of the game.

Rexos is outstanding in Portuguese Liga, but it depends on who they are compared with. Compared with Porto, who are regulars in the top 16 of the Champions League, they are still very young. In Porto's quick and clever collective siege, Rexos's It is difficult to pass and cut with three feet, and then you have to go out with a big foot, or make a mistake.

If a weak team plays against a strong team, if they cannot cooperate and rely solely on the individual ability of the players, there is almost no hope of winning the game.

In a giant team like Porto, each player's personal ability is stronger than that of a newly promoted player like Rexos. Even if the defender is against the forward, Rexos doesn't have much to gain.

In the 7th minute of the game, Lopez's midfield pass was cut off by Porto's midfielder Assuncao, and he immediately passed the ball to winger Quaresma.

Quaresma is the most shining star on the court today. He was born in Sporting Lisbon. He was once known as the double pride of Lisbon with Ronaldo. The two also joined the giants in the same year, but Ronaldo is getting better and better at Manchester United. , Has gradually become one of the best players in the world, and Quaresma can't find the feeling in Barcelona, ​​​​and gave it to Porto for free as a gift for buying Deco a year later.

But in Porto Quaresma was reused, won two Portuguese league championships for Porto, scored 16 goals, and became the core of Porto's attack.

Quaresma's personal ability is outstanding. After he got the ball, he made a quick assault along the right, and Rexos' left midfielder Nice chased after him.

Of course Gao Xiaodong knew Quaresma's reputation, how dare he let Newman face Quaresma alone, he hurried to the side to help defend, ready to surround Quaresma with three people in the middle.

However, a star is a star, and Quaresma saw Gao Xiaodong's intentions. When he was approaching Gao Xiaodong, he suddenly changed direction and cut across, inserting into the middle of Rexos' penalty area.

The middle of the penalty area is the most heavily defended and densely populated place, and players who dare to dribble here are definitely bold and skilled.

Gao Xiaodong guarded against Quaresma's pass, and even thought of a genius and even rushed forward, but he didn't expect Quaresma to cut inside. He was staggered by Quaresma, and quickly turned around and ran back.

Gao Xiaodong was not fast at first, but now that he hasn't lost weight, his speed is even slower. After being shaken by Quaresma, he can't keep up. Zener.

Zener couldn't let Quaresma continue to rush into the dangerous area. He rushed up quickly and was ready to foul.

But at the moment when Zener made a grab, Quaresma passed the ball, and with a coquettish outside instep, the ball flew over Zener's head and flew into the penalty area.

Porto's cooperation is very tacit. Before Quaresma kicked the ball, forward Postiga was already running, and another forward Lopez attracted the defender in another direction. Rexos captain Evans and goalkeeper Bei Tuo realized that Postiga had already volleyed the goal.

The ball went into the net easily and the score became 1:0.

This was a perfect result of personal ability and teamwork. From the breakthrough pass to the final blow, everything was clean and neat. Rexos didn't even have a chance to foul.

There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and the fans talked a lot.

"Give them some power."

"Get in a few more!"

"Let them know what level the Portuguese champions are."

...

The players of Rexos were very frustrated, but they didn't know who to blame. If it is a mistake, it can be said that starting from Lopez, every link made a mistake, but everyone did what he should do. , It's just that the opponent's personal ability is stronger, the pass moves faster, and Rexos can't keep up with the rhythm.

This goal made Gao Xiaodong realize the reality. Porto is indeed very strong. They are the only one in Portugal with Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and Porto is even stronger. There is a gap between Rexos and them in terms of grades. I really can't gain a foothold in Porto at my level. It turns out that I was thinking too much.

Although in terms of strength, Rexos can only defend if he wants to lose less goals, but this is a warm-up match, and Rexos didn't pay much attention to the score, and let go against Porto.

Rexos and Porto faced off against each other, while Gao Xiaodong and Zener were under greater defensive pressure.

Less than ten minutes after the first goal was conceded, Porto stole the ball again and counterattacked. This time Rexos strengthened the defense against Quaresma's receiving the ball and prevented him from taking the ball, but Porto's offensive methods are more than this , After Quaresma's breaking point was strictly guarded, they showed Lexos what smooth cooperation, snapping, snapping, five consecutive passes, and in a blink of an eye they reached the front of Rexos' penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong and Zener didn't lose their positions, but the opponent's pass was fast and accurate, and the ball was one-third faster than Rexos's usual training, which made Gao Xiaodong, Zener and the defender There is no way to defend.

Gao Xiaodong brought down Assuncao, who was playing against the wall, but Gonzalez was already dribbling the ball and was about to shoot, so the referee ignored him.

Gonzalez's shot was saved by goalkeeper Beto, and the referee gave Gao Xiaodong a yellow card.

Then Rexos started to attack, but they couldn't keep up with Porto's rhythm, they made frequent pass mistakes, and their personal ability was not good enough. The ball was almost controlled by Porto's feet. It is passive defense.

In the face of Porto's dazzling attack, Rexos' defense was stretched and hard to defend. Zener and Gao Xiaodong ran desperately, but they couldn't stop Porto's mercury-like infiltration. Soon another striker, Lopez, pushed and scored from the penalty area. The score was rewritten to 2:o.

In the first half, Rexos' best performance was their goalkeeper Beto, otherwise the score would be even bigger.

During the intermission, Oliveira did not make any adjustments to the lineup. Although the score was behind, it was not the fault of the players. They just came from the Portuguese Liga. How could the players of Rexos adapt to the rhythm of the strongest Portuguese team? It's the same for whoever comes up. Oliveira just wants these main players to feel the rhythm and atmosphere of the game so that they can cope with the first round of the league against Benfica.

Less than five minutes into the second half, Gao Xiaodong had a conversation with his competitor Fernando.

Fernando must prove that he is stronger than Gao Xiaodong. He bullied Gao Xiaodong because he was short.

Gao Xiaodong spread his arms and turned around, blocking Fernando's running line. Fernando failed in the fight with Gao Xiaodong, and the ball was snatched by the assisting defender Zener.

This confrontation allowed Fernando to see Gao Xiaodong's strength. When they met next time, Fernando no longer tried to pass Gao Xiaodong. He passed the ball decisively and used his good consciousness to destroy Gao Xiaodong's defense.

Fernando's rapid change made Porto coach Ferreira very satisfied. As a defensive midfielder, he must not be as obsessed with breakthrough assists as a front midfielder. Fernando is qualified in this regard.

As for Gao Xiaodong's performance, Ferreira felt that he was growing very fast, but even playing as the main player in the middle and lower Portuguese teams was a little bit reluctant, because he was too fat and too slow.

Da in the VIP box. Costa shook his head again and again. Gao Xiaodong's ability has not improved much, but his body has become like this. He has completely lost the momentum to sweep the midfield in the Portuguese League. Although Fernando is not doing well in front of many main players His performance was quite satisfactory, it was considered a pass, but Gao Xiaodong failed.

After all, it was a warm-up match. Rexos regarded Porto as a derby opponent. Porto did not take Rexos seriously. After Porto scored the third goal in the second half, they slowed down the pace of the game, trying to use up the game time.

The clay figurines still have three points of soil. Rexos is also the champion of the Portuguese League after all, and they are in front of their opponents in the same region. They cannot accept such a result, and then Oliveira has replaced them with fresh troops to attack Porto's penalty area.

Porto has a good offense, a very strong defense, and a tacit cooperation. Regardless of Pepe leaving, the combination of Paul and Bosingwa is also not something that ordinary Portuguese teams can break, not to mention that there is Lucho in front. Gonzalez and Fernando are two midfielders.

Rexos's offense couldn't find any chances, the sideways came and went, and the center penetrated back and forth. It was not as good as Gao Xiaodong's powerful long-range shot in the last 70 minutes. It was this long-range shot that made Porto's goalkeeper A save made the Porto fans scream, which is considered to have saved a little face.

Later, Gao Xiaodong lost his physical fitness and was replaced by Angulo. When Gao Xiaodong was off the field, many Porto fans booed him, thinking that such a player did not deserve to wear the Champions League winner Porto's jersey.

Of course, Angulo's playing could not change the passive situation of Rexos on the court. In the end, they lost the warm-up match named "Champion's Feast" with 0:3. (To be continued.)
