Chapter 186 Fighting Dragon Stadium Again
On the afternoon of the day before Christmas, when Rexos’ bus drove into the Dragon Stadium, the much-anticipated battle between the newly promoted team and the leader officially kicked off.
Gao Xiaodong walked into the visiting team's locker room with mixed emotions. This was the third time he came to the Dragon Stadium and the second time he walked into the visiting team's locker room.
As a Porto player, but appearing as an opponent at Porto's home court, this feeling is very awkward.
"Fatty, do you think we have any hope of winning this game?" Angulo was a little embarrassed. Such a big battle was a bit too heavy for a young man like him.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Little boy, if you want to be called captain, I am already your captain now."
"Bah! Let's dream." Angulo turned his head and asked Captain Ewes, "Captain, fat people bully people."
Elvis smiled and said, "Angulo, the fat man is your captain now, and he's right, you have to call him captain."
Angulo was speechless.
Gao Xiaodong said leisurely: "There must be hope. If we play Barcelona, we will have the hope of winning the game. The bookmaker should also set odds for us."
Zener smiled and said, "That's right, but do you know what the William Hill bookmaker's odds are for us?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I don't know."
Zener said: "Porto gave us two goals at home."
Angulo said: "The gaming company looks down on us so much. Could it be that our second place in the league is so bad?"
Zener said: "If Benfica is second in the league, it will certainly not be such odds."
Gao Xiaodong said: "We lost 3 goals to Porto in the warm-up match. It's only been a few months. How much improvement can we make? The bookmaker will definitely refer to that match."
Elvis said: "Whatever their odds are, Porto will definitely not win if they don't play. We just fight against them. If we win, we will make money. If we win, we will make money. If we lose, we will lose. It's normal anyway."
Gao Xiaodong said: "The captain is talking about bachelors, so let's fight with them. What are you afraid of? Bare feet are afraid of wearing shoes."
Elvis said: "That's what it means,
At that time, give me a hard fight, compete with Porto for the first place, and see you several times in a lifetime. "
"Don't worry, captain, we will fight them desperately."
Everyone was talking and laughing, sitting in their seats and changing clothes, making preparations before the stage.
Gao Xiaodong changed clothes and equipment pretendingly while thinking about how to play this match.
Undoubtedly, in terms of strength, Rexos really has no capital to win Porto. The possibility of Rexos wanting to win Porto at the Dragon Stadium is lower than the odds offered by the bookmaker.
However, Gao Xiaodong didn't want to lose, he wanted to win, and he had been waiting for more than a year for this match.
Since the strength is not enough, then you can only pray for better luck.
luck? Thinking of luck, Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered that he still had a special point, which was rewarded with a special point for creating an extraordinary way in the match against Sporting Lisbon.
This special point is very important. Only one hat-trick can be achieved after a year of hard training. Gao Xiaodong doesn't want to spend a point easily, but today's opponent is very special, that is Porto.
The entanglement between Gao Xiaodong and Porto has been going on for a long time, and the ups and downs of Gao Xiaodong in Portugal are all caused by Porto.
If there is no scout Andreessen, Gao Xiaodong is probably still abusing food in college and waiting for an upgrade. Similarly, if Porto hadn't broken the contract, Gao Xiaodong would have entered Porto's youth team directly, and he wouldn't have played in the Portuguese team for so long amateur games.
Similarly, Gao Xiaodong entered the professional league from the amateur league thanks to Porto's blessing, but after Porto signed Gao Xiaodong, he loaned him out again.
Facing the overlord of the Portuguese Super League and his old club, Gao Xiaodong very much hoped to perform at the Dragon Stadium. The last time he played a warm-up match at the Dragon Stadium, Gao Xiaodong performed poorly and was booed by Porto fans. Xiaodong's vanity was hit hard, this time, Gao Xiaodong didn't want to be hit again, he wanted to slap him in the face at the door of Porto's house.
Thinking of this, Gao Xiaodong made up his mind, opened the app store, found a special store, and bought a day of good luck with his only special point.
Gao Xiaodong felt that this was not safe. After all, the opponent was too strong. Gao Xiaodong checked his points and played Amarado and Braga. This was a 4-point gain. Among them, he performed a hat-trick and got 1 point. , I now have a total of 5 points.
Gao Xiaodong checked the app products, especially the skill store, and looked at all the skills whose price was less than five credits, and found that he was not afraid of going bankrupt, and there were quite a few skills he could buy.
Although the points are very expensive, there is still a period of time before the next upgrade. Gao Xiaodong decided that if necessary, he would buy one or two skills at that time.
...
When Rexos players came to the locker room of Dragon Stadium, Rexos fans had already been waiting in the stands for a long time.
Because of Mendes and Gao Xiaodong's stance, the monkey led the water army to post everywhere, and Lexos fans finally believed that Gao Xiaodong would not leave Lexos during the winter break. They were relieved and no longer interfered with Lexos's activities Training, go all out to buy tickets for this Porto Derby, and support Rexos.
Don't look at the people of Rexos who take this game more seriously than the sky, but Porto fans really don't regard Rexos as a derby opponent.
In the eyes of Porto fans, there is only one Boavista in the Porto region who is still half a derby opponent, and the other teams are rubbish.
Therefore, when Rexos fans paid a high price for the acquisition, there were really Porto fans who sold the tickets for this game.
Some Porto fans couldn't see anything, and felt that it would be better to sell it for a high price. Some were purely for money, and some tickets were bought by scalpers early and then sold to Rexos fans.
On the day of the game, Rexos, who originally only had 10,000 tickets, bought nearly 16,000 tickets. With the addition of some neutral fans' tickets, in terms of the number of fans, Rexos was more than the home team. There are also 10,000 less Porto fans showing their faces.
Rexos' commentator Wenkla also came to the scene. There was still more than half an hour before the game. He introduced to the fans Rexos' starting lineup and substitutes today, and the possible style of play today.
"I have already got the starting lineup of Rexos, which is a 4321 formation, No. 23 goalkeeper Beto, four defenders: No. 4 Newman, No. 3 Evans, No. 5 Bruno, No. 2 Taiya; five midfielders: No. 23 Sanchez, No. 14 Zener, No. 30 Dior, No. 10 Lopez, No. 13 Gao Xiaodong; center No. 11 Brandy."
"This is the formation that coach Oliveira has been experimenting with recently. Compared with Sporting Lisbon, there are only two changes in the starting lineup, that is, Sanchez replaced Llandino, and Diao replaced Roberto. Although this lineup tends to be defensive, the Iron Triangle composed of Gao Xiaodong, Lopez and Brandy is very powerful, and Porto's defense needs to think about it if they want to assist."
"Another point needs to be mentioned. Before the game, Gao Xiaodong promised the fans that he would not leave Rexos after the winter break. He would accompany Rexos to finish the season. Definitely a huge plus and a huge boost to morale."
"Of course, for Gao Xiaodong, in addition to being the first time he officially faces his old club today, this game is also the first time he participated in the game as the third captain of Rexos. He was elected as the captain at the age of 18. This is the youngest captain in the century-old history of Rexos, and the youngest captain in the history of the Portuguese Super League. If the game is lucky, Gao Xiaodong may even have the captain's armband... The players are on the field, we will wait a while Let me introduce Porto's starting lineup..." (To be continued.)
