Chapter 166: Patience Wins

In the 7th round of the league, Rexos played against Naval at home.

Naval was established in the same year as Porto and is one of the oldest teams in Portugal. However, compared with Porto, Naval in the central region is not really a successful team. In the 2004-2005 season, Naval was promoted to the Portuguese top league for the first time. Then in the past three seasons, this small club has fought for relegation every season, and is called the "ugly duckling" of the Portuguese Super League by the fans. However, compared with the relegation team, Naval is still very successful. Thrilling relegation success every season.

Nawal started the season poorly, failing to win a game in the first six rounds.

Facing the newly promoted Rexos in this round, Naval coach Kayuda still has some ideas.

Although Rexos had an amazing performance in the first six rounds, in the last three rounds, Rexos has obviously gone downhill. As a coach who has worked hard in the lower leagues for a long time, Kayoda does not know how to win the championship, but he knows how to win the championship. Survival, he knew that at this time, it was time to take advantage of the poor state of the newly promoted horse to score points. Once they recovered, they might turn from newly promoted horses to dark horses again.

Once the newly promoted horse is not a dark horse, there will be very few people paying attention. After the freshness of the previous rounds, the media is now focusing on the three giants. The match between Rexos and Naval is almost unnoticed by outsiders Under the circumstances, the seventh round of the Portuguese Super League battle began.

After formulating a strategy of always counterattacking before the game, although this game is a home game, they are still facing the vice squad leader who has not won a game in the first six rounds. Rexos still adopts a three-back tactic, defending the counterattack firmly, and has no chance , never attack easily.

Navarre was also planning to steal chickens at the beginning. Regardless of whether the team is strong or weak, it is easier to play a defensive counterattack than to play a total defense. Even if it is a full defense team, many goals are scored by counterattack opportunities. into.

However, after more than ten minutes of the game, Naval found that Rexos did not take the initiative to attack, and he also had the same idea as them, wanting to steal chickens.

If Rexos was still in the same state as in the first four rounds, 1 point for Nawal would be enough, but now Rexos is in a bad state, and now he is guilty at home, and he dare not attack. Nawal's players are alive Get up, and gradually attack Rexos tentatively.

Rexos played defensively and counterattacked instead of luring the enemy deep. They fought with Navarre in the midfield, launched a quick counterattack when they robbed, and continued to rob if they couldn’t rob, and repeatedly robbed. restricted area.

If Rexos is allowed to attack, they are really not good at attacking. Only Lopez, Nice, Robert and Brandy can attack in their frontcourt. Everyone else is defensive and stealing. Although Gao Xiaodong has all-round football Skills and awareness, but he is still a semi-professional player after all, and now he has a foothold in the middle and lower teams,

Relying on speed, strength, physical fitness, and a wretched mind, only doing these dirty jobs, really doesn't need strong skills and awareness, but if Gao Xiaodong is to organize an attack, he can barely stand up in the Portuguese League. In the Portuguese Super League, there is no play, because the rhythm is faster and there is no time to react.

And when it comes to defense, Gao Xiaodong, Zener, and Dior are all players with strong bodies, fast speed, and super physical fitness. They run non-stop in the midfield, and after a game, they can run more than their opponents. Come alone.

As far as Rexos' midfield sweeping and interception capabilities are concerned, even Benfica Boavista can't break through, not to mention Navarre, who fights for relegation every year.

However, Navarre is also very cunning, otherwise they would not be relegated every year. Although they launched an offensive, they did not make a big push. Even if Rexos counterattacked in the midfield, it would be difficult to break through Navarre's goal.

Both Rexos and Naval were very patient, and the two sides entangled in the midfield for almost half the game. They are not in a hurry. The fans in the stands are in a hurry. Rexos did not play well in the first two league games. In this game, Rexos fans still expect Rexos to beat Navarre and sweep away the previous few games. The bad luck of the game, I didn’t expect the two teams to compete near the center circle for 45 minutes in the first half. Well, the fans don't really like it, he has his pants off, you show him this, what they need is an attacking goal.

Compared with Rexos, Naval obviously needs a victory more, but for a weak team like them, where can they find a team weaker than them to win, so the newly promoted horse in front of them has become a big winner in their eyes. Became a big fat sheep.

After the start of the second half, Nawal felt that he had almost tested, and that Rexos was indeed in a bad state, so he increased the input of offensive troops, prepared to attack hard, scored a goal, and then fought back against Rexos.

As everyone knows, Rexos' midfield defense is very good. They can't get close to Rexos' penalty area just like when they don't invest in troops.

In the 65th minute of the game, Rexos, who had been patiently waiting for his chance, finally got his chance.

Navarre launched an attack from the side, and the cross was pushed out and fell to the feet of Navarre's players, so the defenders and forwards who assisted did not go back, and wanted to launch a second wave of offense.

Unexpectedly, Rexos's steal was very fast. Before Naval's No. 8 had time to launch an attack, Gao Xiaodong flew to steal. No. 8 evaded too much, and was caught up by Zener and intercepted.

After Zener made the steal, he looked up at the frontcourt. At this time, Brandy began to run alertly. Zener understood it, and immediately kicked a long pass, and the ball was passed behind Naval's defender.

Zener's passing skills are not very strong, but Nawal left a little more space this time. Even if Zener's long pass is not so accurate, Brandy can get it. Facing the attacking Nawal goalkeeper, Bran With a light push, Di finished the goal gracefully.

1:0

The fans in the stands finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were all cheering and applauding desperately, as if they wanted to vent their wasted feelings.

After the goal, Rexos did not strike while the iron was hot and attacked again, but continued to return to his own half to defend and counterattack.

At this time, Naval can no longer continue to fight with Rexos, they must attack, otherwise they will lose seven games, and there is really a possibility of relegation.

Naval attacked aggressively, Rexos continued to defend and counterattack, patiently waiting for the next chance to score.

Ten minutes later, Brandy scored twice again after receiving a pass from Robert, basically sealing the victory.

Later, Naval wanted to equalize the score, but Rexos didn't give them a chance. In the last ten minutes, Naval was powerless and could only accept the result of the away defeat.

In this game, Gao Xiaodong didn't go forward much, and he didn't make many long shots. He basically didn't show much, just defending in obscurity with Dior.

Although he didn't show off in reality, Gao Xiaodong didn't feel regretful at all. He was very happy because his system points increased by 2 points. Now he has 20 system points. As long as he wins 5 more games, he will Can be upgraded to a professional D-level player. (to be continued)).
