Chapter 162 Challenge Boavista
After the first round, there will be another Portuguese League Cup match in the middle of the week.
The Portuguese League Cup is a championship held by the Portuguese Professional Football League this season. The participating teams are all clubs in Portugal's two professional leagues, the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese League.
Rexos played in the second round, and his first opponent was the Huasen team of the Portuguese League. This time, Oliveira learned the lesson of being relegated in the year of promotion last time, and did not focus on the cup. However, Rexos had just defeated the giants Benfica. The morale of the players was high, and the substitute also performed bravely. He even swept Watson 4:0 and advanced to the third round.
Just after entering the Portuguese Super League, he won two consecutive victories in the League Cup. Rexos has also become the star team of the Portuguese Super League. The media and fans are very curious whether this small ball that has been working hard in the lower leagues may become the Portuguese Super League. What about a dark horse?
The contest between Rexos and Ferreira in the second round of the league has also become the most watched game outside the three giants.
However, the most attention is actually relatively speaking. In fact, the media and fans of this round of Portugal have focused on the battle between Porto and Sporting Lisbon, followed by the newly promoted Benfica and Guimaraes.
Rexos and Ferreira are just a little bit better than the average team. Ferreira was sixth in the Portuguese Super League last season. Although his strength is much worse than Benfica, Ferreira will certainly not be as proud and underestimated as Benfica. The media believes that Rexos's game is not easier than playing Benfica.
Rexos was not arrogant because he defeated Benfica, and felt that he was really strong. Oliveira's formation was very stable, and he ranked Zener in front of the defense line; Gao Xiaodong, Dio San A defensive midfielder, stabilize your defense, and then look for opportunities to score goals.
Rexos's three defensive midfielders are all teams with strong running ability. They sit in the midfield. Rexos almost seems to have two more players. Ferreira's team is almost at a low level in both offense and defense. In a multiplayer situation, it is very passive.
In terms of strength, Ferreira is definitely stronger than Rexos, who has just been promoted to the Portuguese Super League, but they were completely run to death by Rexos' three midfielders in this game. There were only 2 shots in a game, and Ray Xoss shot as many as 15 shots in a game, and the number of shots was 15:2, but Rexos did not win a big victory. In the end, they only relied on Robert's goal to draw 1:1 in the away game. Ferreira draws.
In another focus battle, Porto beat Rexos 1:0, and Guimaraes drew 0:0 away with Benfica, who had just changed coaches, and another upset broke out.
An away draw with last season's sixth place Ferreira, such a result is by no means bad, just 15 shots in a game and only one goal, let Rexos players, coaches and fans It's still very uncomfortable, after all, they have a lot of hope that they will have another upset in the away game.
This game did not win, Gao Xiaodong felt the most self-blame, because out of the 15 shots, he contributed 6 shots alone, more than one-third.
Gao Xiaodong shot so many goals, the purpose is obvious. In the last game against Benfica, he broke the record for the fastest goal and got a speed-speed football shoe. This made Gao Xiaodong feel that he had found a good opportunity to get a red envelope, so he had a chance Just want to shoot.
However, long-range shooting is actually one of the most difficult goals of all kinds. It is not easy to score if you want to, especially Gao Xiaodong shoots desperately every time, trying to increase the speed of the ball, but the greater the power, the worse the accuracy. Understand that the goal like the one against Benfica is actually something that can be met but not sought after.
Gao Xiaodong’s feet were hard enough, and it was another opportunity for him to grab it. His teammates didn’t say anything about him, but Gao Xiaodong blamed himself, thinking that if he passed a few more kicks, the game might be won. Those are two systems Points, it turned out to be 1 point. Ever since he discovered the app store, Gao Xiaodong felt that nothing was as important as points, and losing one point was like cutting him off.
The newly promoted horse's second match against Ferreira in the Portuguese Super League is considered a good record, but it is far from the expectations of the media fans, and it cannot be compared with the stunning victory over Benfica in the first round. After the game, the media thought that Rexo Rexos is overrated. In fact, Rexos has already played at a super level against Ferreira. As the Portuguese Super League team understands Rexos more and more, Rexos will soon Return to the true nature of the relegation team.
In the third round, Rexos and Guimaraes, the old rival of the Portuguese League, met on a narrow road.
After two rounds, Rexos became famous, and Guimaraes also performed amazingly under the leadership of old coach Kahuda. The 0:2 loss to Porto in the first round was regarded as a normal performance, and the second round drew 0:0 away Flat Benfica is definitely upset.
Guimarães was able to draw with Benfica in the away game, and their strength has definitely improved significantly compared to the Portuguese Liga. Although Rexos defeated Benfica in the first round, they know how strong Benfica is, and they are also very good at Guimarães who can draw with Benfica. Si looked at him with admiration.
Guimarães lost to Rexos in the Portuguese Liga championship. Although they also advanced to the Portuguese Super League, Guimaraes players and coach Kahuda were both worried about losing the championship at home. Just wait for this game to avenge Rexos.
Rexos still lacks the confidence to win against the Portuguese Super League team, but against their old opponents in the Portuguese League, Rexos is full of confidence. Although they continued the 433 formation of the three midfielders with Ferreira in the previous game, But in the last game against Ferreira, the main task of the three midfielders was to defend and steal. Only Gao Xiaodong often rushed up to take long shots and fought against Guimaraes. Rexos' three midfielders, except Dior's full defense , Zener and Gao Xiaodong often added assists.
After Rexos acquired Dior and Gao Xiaodong became a fast horse, the defensive strength of the midfield has been greatly improved. Although Guimarães has strengthened several positions in the summer transfer and introduced seven players, the running-in Not enough, it is not as good as Rexos playing more holistically. After the two sides went through a lot, Rexos finally defeated Guimaraes 2:1 at home and won the newly promoted battle.
Immediately after the fourth round, Rexos ushered in the Porto Derby with the quasi-rich Boavista.
Boavista is a veteran team in Portugal, second only to the traditional top three. Boavista has won the Portuguese Cup 5 times, and is the only Portuguese team that has won championships at all levels of the league. team. It is well-known in the history of Portuguese football. Anyone who knows a little about Portuguese football will be familiar with this team. Except for Belenises in 1946, the top league has always been monopolized by the three major teams, namely: Porto, Benfica, and Sporting Lisbon. It was not until 2001 that Boavista overwhelmed Porto by 1 point, which ended the 54-year record of the three major teams monopolizing the league championship. This is also the first top league championship since the team was founded. And since the 2002-2003 season, after the top league changed from the Portuguese League to the Portuguese Super League, the annual championship competition has been between the duo of Benfica and Porto. Boavista and Sporting Lisbon have been completely reduced to soy sauce...
The newly promoted Rexos has an excellent record. They have not lost a game in three league games and a cup game, and won three games. The quasi-rich Boavista has not won a game in three league rounds. The derby in the Porto region between them The battle has aroused widespread attention. Everyone wants to see, can Rexos, who has been undefeated in four games, continue to be upset? (To be continued.)
