Chapter 203: Horseshoe Disease in Spring Breeze
In the 16th round of the league, Rexos played against the lowly team Ferreira at home. Rexos, with high morale, even though the main striker Brandy was absent and the midfielder Diao was suspended, they still scored a clean 4:o. Leila continues to lead the standings. ???
In this game, it is not news that Rexos won at home, but in the game, Rexos midfielder Gao Xiaodong repeatedly sent assists for Robert, which shocked the media and fans.
Before this round, the conflict between Gao Xiaodong and Robert was well known, and it was also a fact that they did not pass the ball to each other on the court. The media and fans speculated that Robert might leave Rexos during the winter break. No one could have imagined that. After Brandy was injured, Gao Xiaodong and Robert miraculously resolved their suspicions.
Everyone knows that now Gao Xiaodong is no longer the little substitute who first came to Rexos. In just one year, he has become the third captain of the leader Rexos, second only to Elvis. , Zener, as famous as Brandy and Lopez.
As for Robert, although his ability is still there, he is already 31 years old, and he is a marginal player in the team. The two can reconcile. Undoubtedly, Gao Xiaodong's attitude is the main thing. If he does not forgive Robert, Robert will have to leave.
After the game, the media praised Gao Xiaodong for his generosity, and Robert for his sense of time and reason, and believed that the reconciliation between the two would have an important impact on Rexos' subsequent games.
Compared with the media, Rexos fans and coaching staff are happier.
Brandy is a point-grabbing killer with a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, Oscar is a high-speed striker, and young, Thales is mediocre in all aspects, and Rexos actually lacks an experienced, tall and skilled shooter like Robert , just because there was a conflict between Robert and Gao Xiaodong, so Robert's ability was wasted.
Oliveira has no other choice, no matter in terms of emotion, reason or court effect, he can only choose Gao Xiaodong.
Now that Gao Xiaodong and Robert have reconciled, Rexos has more abundant collocations on the front line. In the second half, when the opponents are familiar with Rexos and start to adopt defensive tactics against Rexos, Robert will be better than the first half. more important role.
After the 16th round, Rexos ushered in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup. Rexos's opponent is Andrea of Portugal B. Although now Rexos' goal has been placed in the Champions League seat , didn't pay much attention to the Portuguese Cup, but the substitutes and second team players still eliminated their opponents 1:0 without any risk, and reached the fifth round of the Portuguese Cup.
In the 17th round, Rexos, who had won consecutive victories, ushered in Guimaraes, who was promoted to Portugal with them.
Rexos is definitely a dark horse, but Guimarães is also a dark horse. The newly promoted team reached fifth place in the league. This result is very dazzling in any season. It's just that Rexos, who was promoted with them, was too strong and sharp, and took away all the limelight that belonged to Guimaraes. Otherwise, Guimaraes should often appear in newspaper headlines and TV screens.
Porto is chasing after them. If Rexos wants to stay in the rankings, they must win this round.
Guimaraes actually wants to win more than Rexos.
They are also newly promoted, and they have also achieved astonishing results. One is full of applause, and the other is unknown. Guimaraes is not convinced. They hope to defeat their opponents and prove themselves in the match against Rexos.
Although the contest between the two dark horses is eye-catching, the biggest focus of this round is Benfica's away challenge to Sporting Lisbon. After all, the influence of the dark horses is not as good as that of the old giants.
The game between Rexos and Guimaraes took the lead.
Brandy still hasn't recovered from his injury in this round, but Dior, who was suspended with a red card, has expired and can come back to fight.
Facing the menacing Guimaraes, Rexos played even more calmly, calmly, and faintly had the demeanor of some masters.
In fact, there is not much difference in the basic skills of ordinary professional players. The main gap is in consciousness and psychology. After four battles with giants,
Rexos has been reborn, from a fishing line team at the same level as Guimaraes to a quasi-strong team.
In the first half, Guimaraes turned away from the guest and pressed the whole game, forcing the leader Rexos to play defensively and counterattack.
This surprised the Rexos fans and reporters at the scene. They thought that it was Rexos who played Guimaraes back halftime, but they didn't expect the scene to be the opposite of what they had imagined.
However, although Rexos was forced to retreat, the scene was not so good, but he was not flustered. The defense of the three lines was orderly and did not give Guimaraes many chances to shoot.
In the second half, Guimarães continued to attack the whole court, but the strength and speed were not as good as in the first half. After 60 minutes, Rexos suddenly counterattacked. The bridgehead, Robert, stopped the ball with his back, and stabbed the ball to Lopez before being toppled by the opponent. Lopez crossed the ball to Gao Xiaodong who was in the middle. Gao Xiaodong only had two central defenders in front of him.
Robert rushed to the ribs and took away a defender. Gao Xiaodong caught the ball to avoid the steal from Guimaraes' midfielder.
The Guimaraes central defender is fighting and retreating, and wants to wait for his teammates to help defend, but Gao Xiaodong sees that both Lopez and Robert are defending, and if there is no chance to pass the ball, he will not give the Guimaraes players the chance to help defend The fat man dribbled the ball and swayed it, regardless of whether the opponent would eat or not, he forced his way to the penalty area.
Although the central defender of Guimaraes did not take Gao Xiaodong's fake action, but passive defense always had to take a shot at night, and after Gao Xiaodong got the extra shoes, he could already be called a fast horse. When the Guimaraes defender turned around Come on, Gao Xiaodong is already parallel to him.
The defender lost his mind in desperation, and even wanted to steal with the card position, and was directly crushed by the fat man.
After entering the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper, Gao Xiaodong pushed decisively, and the ball flew into the lower right corner of the goal. The seemingly passive Rexos took the lead in the 61st minute of the second half.
Later, Rexos played more easily, and Guimarães not only lost his position, but also consumed too much physical energy because of the fierce fighting, and finally was easily defeated by Rexos at home 3:0.
In another focus battle, Porto did not perform well and lost 0:2 to Sporting Lisbon in the away game. Rexos extended its lead to 3 points.
In the last game before the Lunar New Year in Huaguo, Rexos challenged Benfica away. This is a very crucial game. If Rexos can double-beat Benfica at home and away, they will not be able to continue to lead the standings, but they will also be able to take the lead. Benfica was completely kicked out of the championship group.
Whether against Rexos or against Porto, Benfica, or even Sporting Lisbon, this game is a key game that determines the winning pattern of the o7o8 season. (To be continued.) 8
