Chapter 150 Tit for Tat

In the week before the game, Rexos adopted a closed training method, and reporters were not allowed to interview, and fans were not allowed to watch, such as "North Porto Sports Daily" and "Luohua Daily", which are closely related to the club players. Media Interviews were not allowed, and die-hard fan organizations such as the Red Mafia were not allowed to enter, which made reporters and Rexos fans very dissatisfied.

"North Porto Sports Daily" sarcastically said: "It seems that Coach Oliveira really wants to make an upset. I don't believe that he even has a closed training. Will the closed training make the fans stronger, or can they come up with something? Great tactical play? The gap in strength is obvious. Instead of playing tricks, it is better to train honestly and play a game that is a glorious defeat. Even if you lose against Benfica, who will blame you? The fans are embarrassed, you really lost, don't blame the reporters and fans for blacking you."

Thanks to the relationship with Gao Xiaodong, "Portuguese Chinese Newspaper" is now growing in sales and influence, and they are also dissatisfied with this situation, but they don't have the confidence and courage of "North Porto Sports Newspaper", so they can only be tactful Express your grievances, "If Rexos really wants to make a difference, he shouldn't be completely closed. He will train in a closed room in the morning and open in the afternoon. Don't keep the fans in the dark. There are still a few days before the game. A little news None, let the fans who watch football as their main way of leisure survive.”

Maia, a reporter from "Competition" who specially reported on Porto, teased Rexos's closed training and said: "The newly promoted horse is in order to deal with Benfica's closed training, hahaha, just like a beggar Hanako worried that a millionaire will snatch his two euros, Finding a stick for self-defense is almost the same, but if Rexos really explodes, the entire Porto people will applaud them."

The Red Mafia fans were very upset that the training was not allowed to watch by their own die-hard fans.

Alexander, the leader of the Red Mafia, said in an interview with the "North Porto Sports Daily": "The team has been training in closed doors for so long, he can't accept it, and the fans can't accept it either. If the team wins, he personally apologizes and sponsors the football team. If the team draws, he will sponsor 10,000 euros. If the team loses during closed training, I will refuse to watch the game. Of course, as a four-generation Lexos fan, I have Bought a season pass."

Alexander's words represent the fans' aspirations. On the Portuguese forum, Rexos fans opposed Oliveira's approach, which has never happened since Oliveira coached Rexos.

For this reason, the club chairman Carus couldn't sit still anymore. He went to Oliveira again and said: "Although I know that you must have your own reasons, the fans and the media are very anxious. After all, this is ours. The first Portuguese Super League game, or just open for one day?"

Oliveira shook his head and said: "The memory of the fans does not exceed one day. Don't look at the opposition now. If we play well in the game, they will immediately forget everything we said now and go to the stadium to watch the game immediately. And we will open it for a day or two. , If you don’t play well in the game, you will still be scolded later.”

Carus said worriedly: "The key is,

Can we play well? That's Benfica. "

Oliveira said: "Do your best, but no one knows, football is round."

"Ok, I trust you."

Almost all the conversations between Carus and Oliveira ended with words like this, which moved Oliveira very much. It felt like meeting a confidant. No matter how good a coach is, he needs someone who appreciates him and trusts him. Chairman, otherwise he would not be able to show his talent. Undoubtedly, Carus is a chairman who appreciates and trusts Oliveira.

looking forward to looking forward to

The first round of the Portuguese Super League in the 0708 season finally kicked off.

In the opening game, Sporting Lisbon, the weakest of the three giants, beat last season's Universidad de Coimbra, the fourth last in the Portuguese Super League, 4:1. There was no discomfort in the opening game, showing the detachment of the giants in the Portuguese Super League. strength and all-round combat capability.

Then Porto defeated Guimarães 2-0 at home, and announced to the other teams in the Portuguese Super League again, don’t have other ideas, the top three is not what you can expect, find a boss to cover it, maybe you can still mix in the Portuguese Super League Go on, otherwise, you may be kicked out of the Portuguese Super League next season.

With the precedents of Sporting Lisbon and Porto, Rexos, who played the next day, was even more underestimated. If the fans on the Internet were still joking, saying that Rexos had been closed for training for a week, it might still be an upset. Now it's time to predict how many goals Rexos will lose.

In order to allow fans to watch the game better, the game between Rexos and Benfica was scheduled to be played at 7 o'clock in the evening.

However, Benfica obviously did not take Rexos seriously. They arrived in Matosinho three hours before the game. When they came to the March Stadium to adapt to the venue, they warmed up casually, passed the ball, and then retreated. the hotel.

The opponent is too weak, and the capacity of the stadium is very small, with only 25,000 seats. Compared with the original Benfica away game, where tens of thousands of fans assisted, this time Benfica fans are also pitifully small, with less than 3,000 people. .

At the press conference before the game, Benfica coach Sanchez said: "This is the first game of the new season. I am very happy that we have encountered a brand new opponent. They are Rexos who have been promoted to the Portuguese Super League for the first time. Oh, actually, it can’t be regarded as a new opponent. In the Portuguese Cup in the 2006 season, in this stadium, we defeated Rexos 2:1 and reached the fifth round. I hope we can have the same good luck this time , to make a good start for the new season..."

Sanchez talked about it, to the effect that beating Rexos is just a routine matter. Our important task is to compete for the league championship and play well in the Champions League match against Copenhagen in the middle of the week. Take it to heart.

Previously, Rexos had been modest and low-key. This time Sanchez thought that Rexos coach Oliveira would show weakness. I heard that they had closed training. Maybe the opponent had a conspiracy and wanted to make big news, but Sanchez believes that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will fall apart.

But this time Oliveira was uncharacteristically, not only did not show weakness, but was aggressive.

"Thanks to Coach Sanchez for reminding me of the past. Indeed, two years ago we lost 1:2 to Benfica here and stopped the Portuguese Cup, but eight years ago, we had a 0:0 draw with Benfica and passed a penalty kick. We eliminated Benfica and reached the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup. This time we hope to reproduce the miracle of the year. Of course, miracles require luck. With the support of more than 20,000 Rexos fans in the audience, I believe that good luck will Be on our side and just a reminder that Rexos is not new, we are a hundred years old and only three years younger than Benfica."

Benfica coach Sanchez was taken aback. This is not at all like the previous Oliveira. Now this Oliveira in a black suit with a thin face is like a sword drawn out of its scabbard. It seems to be ready. The preparations for the duel gave Sanchez a faint bad feeling. He felt that he might be a little careless, and Rexos would not surrender easily.

It turns out that the team is very low-key, and the opponent is very high-profile. Rexos fans have always been aggrieved. Today's head coach Oliveira's speech is very domineering, tit-for-tat, and does not show weakness at all, which excited the Lexos fans. On the Internet, Oliveira's words are everywhere, "Luck is with me, we will repeat the miracle eight years ago."

Going back on his promise, Alexander, the leader of the red mafia who sat in the stands two hours in advance, saw the news of the interview through the big screen. He waved his arms excitedly and shouted at the fans: "Yes! Do it like this! This is Rexor Well, we're the hardest rock on the coast."

Before the players came, the fans in the stadium were basically full. Many fans followed Alexander and shouted: We are the hardest rock. (to be continued)).
