Chapter 259: A Good Start
This is the first time Gao Xiaodong has played for Porto, and it is also his first time against a team from the top five leagues.
Although now I know that the giants in a small country like Porto are also very shabby, although Bochum is just a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, although this is just a warm-up match, but the giants are the giants, and the five major league teams are the five major league teams, Gao Xiaodong Still very proud, still very excited.
So excited and a little nervous, Gao Xiaodong didn't go forward with the other two forwards Lisandro and Rodriguez after kick-off.
Just one step slower, Porto's forward tackle failed, and the ball quickly passed through the midfield along the gap left by Gao Xiaodong.
When Gao Xiaodong came to his senses, he found that Japanese forward Shinji Ono was dribbling the ball and preparing to break through Sapnaru.
"What happened to Fatty today?"
"The fat man is a little distracted!"
"Is this not suitable for the applause of the Porto fans?"
"Unresponsive!"
...
The fans in the stands talked a lot.
Fortunately, the right back Sapruna was very strong and was not broken by Shinji Ono. When Shinji Ono passed back to Dabrovski, Gao Xiaodong had already arrived.
Dabrovski is two meters tall, but his weight is as high as Gao Xiaodong. Xiao Dong is a thief, seeing that Dabrovski is tall and thin, he bullied him directly.
Dabrovski didn't push Gao Xiaodong away, and wanted to smash the ball and turn around, but he was not as fast as Gao Xiaodong. As soon as Gao Xiaodong leaned on his shoulder, Dabrovski lost his center of gravity and at the same time lost control of the ball. Control.
When Gao Xiaodong failed to keep up with the rhythm of the team for the first time, Ferreira's face was downcast, but at this moment a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If you rush to the front, you are a forward, and if you drag to the back, you are a defender. Standing in any position is useful, even if it is not so prominent, it is definitely worth it.
Gao Xiaodong grabbed the ball, looked at the midfielder, and grabbed the grass! Except for the Portuguese Meireles, they are all South American players, and Meireles is also lukewarm towards Gao Xiaodong.
Made, I'll do it myself.
Gao Xiaodong immediately dribbled the ball along the wing towards Bochum's half.
Sapruna quickly caught up with the assist.
Although the midfielder Lu Qiao and the center Lisandro both wanted Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball, it is normal for the winger to attack with the ball himself, but when the two of them moved forward, they played bad intentions and did not go to the side. By the way, standing on the inside of the defender and running, Gao Xiaodong has nothing to do other than provide an assist.
This is a common tactic used by many old football ruffians who want to keep going and have a bad relationship with their teammates. Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball and was intercepted by the opponent several times. It's not easy anymore.
Although the Bochum team is a relegation team in the Bundesliga, it can be relegated in the Bundesliga. This is its strength.
The players of the Bochum team quickly counterattacked after losing the ball. Gao Xiaodong just pushed through the center circle, and Shinji Ono and Dabrowski chased him one after another. The full back Imhoff and midfielders in front also surrounded him. Block it.
Gao Xiaodong is not a pure wide player, he has full positional awareness, and when the situation is not good, he immediately takes the ball to the middle.
Wide players tend to get dizzy in the middle, because there are too many offensive and defensive players in the middle, and there are people coming from all directions. When the offensive and defensive rhythm is fast, it is impossible to distinguish the enemy from the enemy, but Gao Xiaodong does not have this problem. Clearly and quickly passed the ball to Melles, and moved forward to ask for the ball.
Merles thought that Gao Xiaodong would be robbed, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to react so quickly, took the ball to the middle and handed it to him.
Melles was in a good mood, and after a cooperation with the midfielder Gualin, the ball returned to his feet, and Melles passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong again.
The Porto players passed the ball very fast. When Gao Xiaodong caught the ball, he stopped a little far away from his body, and was immediately grabbed by his opponent.
Fortunately, Gao Xiaodong's body is strong,
The opponent didn't snatch the ball from Gao Xiaodong, and after being knocked away by Gao Xiaodong, he passed the ball to the full-back Sapruna.
Although Gao Xiaodong successfully protected the ball, Porto's offensive rhythm was slow, while the Bochum team was fast and immediately adjusted their defensive focus, Porto lost the opportunity to attack quickly.
This is one of the most common problems for players from ordinary teams to enter wealthy teams. They cannot keep up with the rhythm of the team. Players on ordinary teams have low passing power and slow rhythm. Ordinary teams can also Speed up the ball, but the turnover rate is scary, and the players of the rich team pass the ball fast and have a high success rate, so the rhythm is very fast, and ordinary teams can't keep up.
Another situation is that the personal skills of the players of ordinary teams are not as good as those of wealthy teams, so they cannot adapt.
Now Gao Xiaodong is more concerned with the first question, but the second question is not so obvious because of his strong strength.
In the next game, Gao Xiaodong couldn't keep up with the team's overall rhythm, so he and Sapruna focused on the right side, while other players attacked the center and left side.
During the intermission, the head coach Ferreira talked with Gao Xiaodong alone for a while, telling him that the opponent's pressing speed is very fast, so the passing speed must be much faster than the running speed, so as not to be caught by the opponent. encircled.
Gao Xiaodong understands this truth, but he can't get used to it right away. He is just a D-level professional player, a professional rookie, and he must pass D-level to enter the Portuguese giants Porto, even if he has the bonus of increasing high shoes. It is useless to buy shooting skills, and the overall ability and awareness cannot be improved.
In the subsequent games, Gao Xiaodong was still out of the team as a whole, and could only cooperate with Sapruna personally, but the two of them defended well. When attacking, Gao Xiaodong's long shot was still very threatening , the layman does not look ugly.
The head coach Ferreira has some headaches. The warm-up match doesn't pay much attention to the outcome. It doesn't matter if there is an extra Gao Xiaodong who is not in tune with the overall team. Leave Gao Xiaodong on the court?
In the second half, Porto changed Hulk and Fernando to adjust the lineup, and Bochum changed three players to adjust the lineup, but neither of them could break the opponent's goal.
In the 80th minute of the game, after Sapruna passed Shinji Ono, he suddenly dribbled the ball from behind.
Shinji Ono was also an all-around frontcourt when he was young, with fast speed and strong strength, but he was troubled by injuries, and when he was 29 years old, his body couldn't keep up. He could only watch the young Sapruna go further and further.
Romania is also a Latin faction in Europe. The players are skilled. Sapruna is 1.9 meters tall, but his skills are good. Xiaodong formed a two-on-one situation.
The Bochum players saw that Shinji Ono couldn't keep up, so the central defenders and midfielders rushed to make up for the side to prevent the side from being penetrated by the opponent.
Sapruna passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and he was about to hit the bottom, trying to play a two-for-one cooperation with Gao Xiaodong.
But Gao Xiaodong found that this was a good opportunity to cut in and shoot. He caught the ball and turned around. Before the opponent's midfielder and central defender returned to their positions, he shot furiously, and the ball flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Gao Xiaodong is good at long-range shooting, but his reputation is only in Portugal. Some giants in Europe who specialize in recruiting rookies may also pay attention. Relegation teams like Bochum don’t bother to pay attention at all. They can’t afford it or use it. What they need is The kind of experienced old ball ruffian.
By the time Bochum goalkeeper Fernando realized that Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot and flew to save it, it was already too late, and the ball flew into the net against the goal post.
1o
Gao Xiaodong made his first appearance for Porto and scored a goal.
There was thunderous cheers in the stands.
Hulk and Sapruna came over to hug Gao Xiaodong, and the three jumped up and down, very happy.
The other Porto players felt that Gao Xiaodong didn't play well, and that shot was more like a sham, but he scored a goal, and scoring is the last word. No matter how dissatisfied they had no choice but to applaud.
The on-site commentator had been saying that Gao Xiaodong was not in tune with the team, which affected the team's overall performance. Gao Xiaodong's long-range goal of nearly 30 meters directly made him speechless.
Chen Qiang said to Houzi: "It seems that other players in Porto still have a barrier to Gao Xiaodong."
The monkey said: "This is not made up for at once."
"God! This is also included!" Coach Ferreira has now experienced Gao Xiaodong's long-range heavy artillery, but now he can only be happy.
The strengths of the two sides are similar. In the last ten minutes, Bochum tried his best to attack but failed to equalize the score. In the end, with Gao Xiaodong's goal, Porto got a good start to the new season.
After the game, the head coach Ferreira scratched his head. His shooting ability is very strong, but he can't integrate into the team. If Gao Xiaodong can't transfer and stay in Porto, it will be a problem in the future. it is good.
