Chapter 176: I Want to Hit the Midfielder (Part 2)

In the morning there was recovery training. After training, everyone had dinner together at noon. During training in the afternoon, during group confrontation, Gao Xiaodong was still as usual, diligently stealing interceptions at the midfielder position, but after stealing the ball, no Then hand all the ball to Lopez, full-backs, Zener and others, but often dribble the ball forward to assist.

At the beginning, Oliveira was a little strange, but it was just training, and I thought Gao Xiaodong might just want to have fun and taste the addiction of people, it’s okay, young people, be more playful, in the game, Gao Xiaodong never Never done that. So I didn't say anything.

Later, Oliveira discovered that Gao Xiaodong's breakthrough success rate was surprisingly high, and he made occasional mistakes. His strong body and good defensive awareness also allowed him to nip danger in the bud.

Oliveira was a little surprised, and thought, this kid has improved his game skills, and he can break through others. It seems that the extra training during this time has not been in vain.

In the next few days of training, Gao Xiaodong was not as calm as before. He often dribbled the ball forward, and often did not come back in the frontcourt.

This is the work of the front midfielder. You can do it alone, even if the front midfielder doesn't do well, it shouldn't be. On the football field, the division of labor is very clear, unless that kind of star has certain freedom. Others are performing their own duties and must not overstep their duties.

Before the second round of the Portuguese Cup in the middle of the week, Oliveira finally lost his composure and kept Gao Xiaodong after training.

When he came to Oliveira's office, Gao Xiaodong still pretended to be confused and said, "Coach, what do you need from me?"

Oliveira said: "In the end you performed well in training."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Really? I think it's still the same."

Oliveira said: "It's still the same? Gao Xiaodong, I think you are too humble. You are better than Maradona now. Maradona has never played a defensive midfielder before. Now you are on the shoulders. "

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Do I have it? Did I make any mistakes during the training?"

Gao Xiaodong's rhetorical question stunned Oliveira, who was about to hit Gao Xiaodong, because he thought about it carefully. , can also play a good role. In a sense, it's not that Gao Xiaodong didn't do his job well, but he did two jobs well at the same time.

But what should be said still needs to be said, Oliveira said: "Do you know what your duty is as a midfielder?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I know,

It is necessary to intercept and defend, assist the ball, and properly insert assists. "

Oliveira said: "Aren't your assists a little too much these days? It doesn't hurt if you do it in training, but if you do it in the game and the opponent counterattacks, who will fill your position? You have to make up for your teammates, so who will make up for your teammates?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Coach, you also saw that I'm a bit tired of playing the back midfielder, and I can't stay in the back. Can you change my position? I want to play the front midfielder."

"You want to hit the midfielder?"

Oliveira opened her mouth in surprise. If Gao Xiaodong said to play a striker, Oliveira would not be surprised. After all, Gao Xiaodong played a striker and played pretty well, but Gao Xiaodong has never played as a midfielder. What is he trying to do? Want to hit all the positions?

Gao Xiaodong answered again firmly, "Yes, I want to hit the midfielder."

Oliveira was shocked at first because when Gao Xiaodong was playing as a defensive midfielder, it was very difficult to get the ball out. Usually, he handed it over to Zener and others nearby. Looking at it, Gao Xiaodong has made great progress in passing the ball, controlling the ball, and thinking about it carefully. Since Gao Xiaodong can hit the midfielder from the forward, it is more normal to hit the midfielder from the forward.

However, Gao Xiaodong's technical progress is only shown in the training ground. It's hard to say how it will be during the competition. After all, competition and training are two different things.

Oliveira said slowly: "Your skills are very comprehensive. I have also seen these two days of training. You have improved a lot. There is nothing wrong with playing the front midfielder. It's just that you have never played the front midfielder before. I'm not sure about playing this position."

Gao Xiaodong was relieved when he heard Oliveira say that he had made rapid progress. He was worried about Oliveira and said: Hey! How did you improve so fast? "Now Oliveira said half and half, what is the intention, Gao Xiaodong guessed about it, he smiled and said: "Coach, I can continue to play as a midfielder, but you have to give me the right to go forward and break through in the frontcourt and freedom. "

If Rexos hadn't already accumulated 24 points, if it wasn't for Gao Xiaodong's comprehensive skills and performance in training, the most important thing is that when he signed in the summer, he had already introduced players with skills similar to Gao Xiaodong's. Dior, in addition to facing the three giants Rexos needs to use three midfielders to defend, facing other opponents in the Portuguese Super League, Rexos is a bit conservative in deploying three midfielders.

As for the front midfielder, Lopez certainly played well. His outstanding performance is one of the reasons why Rexos can achieve this result, but Lopez's shortcoming is also obvious, that is the body, Lopez His body is thin and thin, similar to Harvey, the midfielder core of La Liga giants Barcelona.

This kind of body protection is a bit troublesome, the impact is not enough, and the long-range shot is not very threatening. These are things that Lopez can't change if he wants to change. The problem is all gone.

Oliveira saw that Gao Xiaodong himself said that he could continue to play as a midfielder. When he completed his task, it would be no problem for him to play as a midfielder. Oliveira said: "Since you are so eager to play as a midfielder, I don't Blocking, we have a Portuguese Cup match with Dulles in the middle of the week, you can try the position of the attacking midfielder, if you can perform well, I agree with you to play this position."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Alright, coach, just wait and see my performance."

Oliveira nodded, and suddenly said, "Gao Xiaodong, what do you think of the Portuguese Cup?"

Gao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and the coach asked himself why he was doing this. After thinking about it, he immediately understood what Oliveira meant. Now Rexos has accumulated 24 points and is only one step away from relegation. Taking relegation as the goal is a bit self-deceiving. At this time, there must be a more suitable goal, but it seems that it is not very realistic to win the league championship or enter the Europa League. In addition, Gao Xiaodong does not like to play. The Europa League, if he can't win the championship, it will have no effect on his promotion. It is better to play the Portuguese Cup well. If he wins the championship, it will be 5 points.

So Gao Xiaodong summed it up and said: "Coach, I think we will definitely have no problem relegation. At this time, we should think about the cup competition. For example, set a small goal: win the Portuguese Cup."

Oliveira said with a smile: "It's not easy to win the Portuguese Cup, but there must be a goal. In the midweek game, you play well. We will plan carefully after we get the points for relegation."

Although Oliveira said to plan, Gao Xiaodong could guess from his voice that compared to the illusory Europa League seat, the head coach Oliveira is actually still eager to win a Portuguese Cup championship.
