Chapter 210: Fighting for the Last One

In the 21st round, Brandy came back from injury, but he had been out of battle for a long time and was in poor condition, while Rexos was even worse with the ball, hitting 2 goalposts in a row. They may have lost to Coimbra on the road. The score of 1:1 was a fluke.

Porto is still in the same state. They beat Boavista 2:0, leading Rexos by 6 points, leading the third place Sporting Lisbon by 12 points, and leading the fourth place Benfica by 13 points, except for Rexos. With this stumbling block, Porto's road to the championship is smooth.

In the following games, Brandy's condition recovered, and then the central defender Bruno suffered another cruciate ligament strain and was reimbursed for the entire season.

Dior went back to play as a central defender, Landino replaced Dior as a midfielder, and Rexos' midfield strength declined significantly.

In addition to the impact of injuries, the Portuguese Super League team also became familiar with the characteristics and style of play of Rexos in the second half, so that Rexos played very difficult every game, winning and losing were mediocre, and the highest was once behind Porto scored 11 points. Later, even Sporting Lisbon and Benfica gave up, but Rexos never gave up. He tried his best to win every game. After Lopez returned, Angulo played as a left midfielder. A little relaxed, Rexos went all out to chase points. When they played Sporting Lisbon in the 28th round, Rexos had narrowed the points gap with Porto to 6 points.

During this period of time, Yang Fan, who was on loan, wanted to find a chance to be a top player, but he didn't expect that every game would be so intense. As a rookie, he had very few chances to play. The game was over without touching the ball a few times, and Yang Fan also failed to seize these fleeting opportunities.

There are 3 rounds left in the league, against Sporting Lisbon at home, if Rexos can't win this game, and Porto wins, Porto can celebrate winning the championship, even if Rexos wins, as long as Porto wins the game, Ray The possibility of Xosos winning the championship only exists in theory. It is impossible for Porto to lose two games in a row. They have only lost three games so far this season.

In the training before the game against Sporting Lisbon, most of the Rexos players were a little slack.

In fact, this is also normal. Now there are three games left in the league. Rexos is 6 points behind Porto. In the last three rounds, Rexos will play the third place Sporting Lisbon, the leader Porto, and the sixth place Maritimo. Wanting to win the championship is simply harder than reaching the sky.

Behind Rexos, Sporting Lisbon has long since given up the championship. Now it is 17 points behind Porto and 11 points behind Rexos. In the last three rounds, even if Sporting Lisbon wins all, it will not win. Second place for Rexos.

As long as he gives up the extravagant hope of winning the league championship, Rexos can actually practice in the next three games and prepare for the next season in advance.

The head coach of Rexos, Oliveira, is dissatisfied with the performance of the players. He is still somewhat ambitious. He has led the team to the top league six times, making him a first-class coach in Portuguese football, but it is still difficult to call it the top. But If he can lead a team like Rexos to win the Portuguese Super League championship, he will not only be called the top, but even become the best coach in Portugal after Mourinho.

You know, in the 100-year history of the Portuguese league, apart from the three giants of Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, only Boasvi won the league championship once, and no other team can get involved in the Portuguese Super League championship.

And based on this league championship and performance in the Champions League, Boavista has become a quasi-rich club in the Portuguese Super League after the three giants. If Oliveira can lead Rexos to win the championship, he will definitely win the championship in the future. It is also possible to coach the three giants without worrying about jobs.

The training ended an hour earlier. After the end, all the players were called by Oliveira to the tactical research room for a meeting.

"The league is over in three rounds, let's talk about your thoughts?"

Oliveira sat in front of the video recorder, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression.

idea? what idea? Any ideas now? What time is it? Still want to? !

Most of the Rexos players just sat there idly and didn't speak.

Although the on-field training is not serious enough, although the head coach is not very happy, but as a newly promoted team, he reached the second place in the league and secured a seat in the Champions League. Who is not the hero, what else does the coach want to do? Could this performance also be criticized? That's really unreasonable.

If there is a cold field like this, the coach will be too ugly. Captain Elvis felt that he had to save face for the coach. He coughed and said: "Although the possibility of winning the championship is extremely small now, there is still a little bit. I think we You can't give up, you should train hard..."

Speaking of which, whoever farted suddenly, the players in the room pinched their noses and laughed, and Elvis couldn't help laughing too.

There was no more to say, so Elvis had to sit down.

Oliveira's face became more severe, and he directly called the name, "Zina, tell me."

Zener then began to say, still what Elvis said, although the possibility of the championship is not high, but we can't give up hard work, we must continue to fight until the end.

After Zena finished speaking, Oliveira shouted again: "Gao said."

Gao Xiaodong was sitting there checking the system points in his mind. When Oliveira called his name, he was startled, and immediately stood up habitually, and replied, "Yes."

There was another burst of laughter in the tactical room.

This time Oliveira was furious, pointed at Gao Xiaodong and said, "Gao Xiaodong, what did you just do?"

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Go away."

Oliveira said coldly: "Yes, the results are good, the newly promoted, won the second place in the league, you can be proud, you can rest, now you can wait for the end of the season, take a lot of money, go to relatives and friends It’s showing off there, and next season will have a better place, or a higher salary, Gao Xiaodong, do you think so? Do you all think so?”

The players in the tactical room didn't speak, but Oliveira's words really hit their minds.

But Gao Xiaodong said: "Coach, I don't think so."

Oliveira was surprised and said, "Then what are you thinking?"

Gao Xiaodong looked at his teammates and said, "Coach, I was just calculating how much hope we have of winning the championship."

Oliveira calmed down, and Gao Xiaodong turned from an opportunistic boy into his beloved disciple. If he was as aggressive as other players, he would be even more uncomfortable. Now it seems that Gao Xiaodong is still very nervous. Ambitious and fighting spirit, and this is an important factor for a player to become a star.

Gao Xiaodong said: "We are now 6 points behind Porto, and we will win Sporting Lisbon in the next game. If Porto loses to Guimaraes, we will only have a gap of 3 points with them. Then, fate will return to our hands." Assuming that Porto also wins, we still have a gap of 6 points. In the next round of our direct dialogue with Porto, as long as we beat Porto again, if Porto stumbles in the last round, we still have the hope of winning the championship. So, I think, We shouldn't be so pessimistic, hope is still there, Porto is not strong enough to kill everything, just like before the season, no one thought that we could finish second, we should fight to the end instead of regretting at the end. "

Elvis applauded first, and said: "The fat man is right, he said everything in my heart, it's better than what I said."

Zener also said: "It's true, Porto is not that strong, and we are not that weak."

Even if Brandy, Lopez, Yang Fan, Dior, and Angulo were not what Gao Xiaodong thought, they all applauded. My friends must support me when I speak in public.

Robert said: "Although the last three consecutive victories will definitely not be so easy, we can work hard."

Oliveira rubbed out the cigarette butt, and said loudly: "Yes, what Robert said is good, we must work hard, so that we will not regret it, because, everyone sitting here, such an opportunity, It may be once in your lifetime that a newly promoted horse wins the championship, which is rare in the entire football history. In the Portuguese Super League, this has never happened before. Before the start of the season, didn’t we say that we should engrave our name on Rexos Now is the opportunity to engrave our name not only in the history of Rexos, but also in the history of the Portuguese League, and in the history of world football. Work hard, lads, no matter what Where will you be next season, if you don't fight these three games, you will regret it for the rest of your life, the last three games, we will fight for the last one."

As Oliveira spoke, he excitedly raised his fist and waved it in the air. Oliveira has always been elegant and serious. No one would have thought that he would have such a passionate side. The players were deeply stimulated, even if they felt that winning the championship Players with little hope are also excited at the moment, thinking that there is nothing wrong with fighting for only three games.

Gao Xiaodong took the opportunity to shout: "Coach! Let's fight to the last!"

At this moment, there was only one leader missing. Everyone raised their hands and shouted: "Coach! Let's fight the last one."

Seeing that the morale has been mobilized, what is lacking now is this strength. As long as you muster up your strength, it is entirely possible to win Sporting Lisbon, which has no fighting spirit, and it is not without hope to win Porto again. Oliveira breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look sideways at Gao Xiaodong. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong was slyly peeping at him. The master and apprentice couldn't help laughing at the same time. In an instant, they both understood what the other was thinking. (to be continued...)
