Restricted Superstar

On the second day of training, Gao Xiaodong came to the court early, where he practiced juggling the ball and became familiar with the ball.

Seeing Oliveira's car coming, Gao Xiaodong ran over in a jerk, pulling the door for Oliveira and getting his bag.

Oliveira smiled, and said in English: What do you want to do, you kid, you have nothing to do to be courteous?.

Gao Xiaodong said bluntly in English: There is no position for the striker, I will play in the midfield.

Oliveira almost blurted out how you can play in midfield, but suddenly remembered the comprehensive technical characteristics that Gao Xiaodong showed that time, so he changed his words: Let's talk about it later.

Going back and saying it again made Gao Xiaodong feel cold, and saying it was actually almost a synonym for not saying it, and he didn't know where he was going again.

However, before Gao Xiaodong came to find Oliveira again, the opportunity came. During the confrontation match, Zener, the deputy of the defensive midfielder team, was hit on the thigh by a teammate. Oliveira was worried that something was wrong with him, so he quickly let He came down to rest and checked that there were less than ten minutes left. Thinking of Gao Xiaodong's request to play midfielder, he temporarily asked Gao Xiaodong to play for Zener for a while.

Defensive midfielders do dirty work, and talented, intelligent players with high self-esteem are unwilling to do it. It feels like a high-level white-collar doing chores.

Seeing that the head coach asked Gao Xiaodong, a striker, to play as a defensive midfielder, Robert and other players who had objections to Gao Xiaodong laughed, thinking that Gao Xiaodong had also fallen out of favor with the coach.

After several months of intensive training, Gao Xiaodong's physical fitness was very abundant, and he held the forward position for a long time. After replacing Zener's position, he immediately ran wildly to launch an extremely oppressive press on the opponent.

Gao Xiaodong's body is very strong, Gao Xiaodong rushes up, squeezes and leans, and the opponent's position is gone; and his chassis is still very low, once he gets the ball, the opponent can't grab, kick, or fall. Passing, anticipation, and blocking are not as good as Zener. In terms of steals, ball protection and defensive coverage, Zener is no better than Gao Xiaodong.

The most exciting thing was Gao Xiaodong’s steal on Robert. Robert faced the goal with a false shot and made a real dunk. Just after passing a defender, Gao Xiaodong suddenly cut between Robert and the ball from the side and rear, leaned on Robert, and put him on the ground. Body.

Robert thought that since he was so tall and strong, it would be no problem to squeeze Gao Xiaodong away, but when he touched him, he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong's elbows to stand up when he leaned against him. Robert was tall, Gao Xiaodong was short, and his ribs just hit Gao Xiaodong's raised elbow.

Robert was bumped by Gao Xiaodong and staggered, and his ribs were stabbed almost with an elbow.

Robert bent down and raised his hand, calling Gao Xiaodong to hit him in pain.

But Gao Xiaodong's movements are very subtle, amateur referee Oliveira didn't see it, even if he saw it, Oliveira would not say anything, it is normal for defensive players to use small movements, and being good at using small movements shows that this player Very experienced.

Gao Xiaodong's performance surprised Oliveira very much. During the winter break, Robert was strengthened. After the main striker Brandy came back, Rexos must have no problem in offense, but in terms of defense, Rexos only has Zener Alone, Lopez and Nice hardly defend. Landis said he has both offense and defense, but in fact he is strong in offense and weak in defense. Once he needs to strengthen his defense, he only has Zener available, and he doesn't even have a substitute. If Gao Xiaodong Sufficient in stamina, he is more useful to Rexos as a defensive midfielder than as a striker.

Oliveira decided to change Gao Xiaodong's position in the next two days to see if he could do a good job in the midfield defensive task.

Not to mention, although the level is only an S-level amateur player between amateur and professional, Gao Xiaodong's strong body and wretched personality make up for this deficiency. He is no worse than midfielders other than Zener in defense. The goal is to attack, but it doesn't matter. Oliveira either uses Gao Xiaodong's attack, or lets him act as a thug. There are Lopez, Nice, Landino and others in the attack. Gao Xiaodong only needs to do a good job of stealing and pressing. ,

Then pass the ball to your teammates.

Oliveira was very happy when he saw that Gao Xiaodong played a defensive midfielder very well. The problem that had troubled him for a long time was finally solved. Let's see how it works in actual combat.

...

In the 20th round, Rexos played against Estoril at home. This game is extremely important for Rexos. If they lose this game and the three competitors win again, they and Rio Ave and Ji The point gap of Maraasi will exceed three points, so this season Rexos will really repeat the mistakes of last season.

On the day of the game, Carus, the club president who never liked to care about team affairs, came to the team's training base.

After watching the training for a while, Chairman Carus was a little dizzy. Even if he was a fake fan, he could tell that the black-haired Chinese Gao Xiaodong was not playing as a striker. How could a striker be so close to his penalty area? .

Victor, what position is Xiaodong Gao playing now? Carus asked Oliveira after the morning training.

Defensive midfielder. Oliveira said.

Isn't he a striker? Carus asked in a daze.

Oliveira didn't want to talk more about the conflicts between the players. He said that it would have a bad impact on all aspects. Oliveira said: He has a bad sense of smell as a forward, and his running and shooting skills are average. The cooperation is not tacit enough, so let him go to the midfield to exercise.

Carus is not easy to fool, he straightened his face, and said: I read the news recently, this little Donggao performed very poorly, do you think he still has the ability to play, if not, this season is over, and he will be returned to you. Porto counts.

Oliveira said: It's hard to say. Before the age of 18, there are very few players who are better than others. Players change more in the three years from the age of 18 to 21. During this period of time, players are affected. There will be many external influences. I call this period the definition period of a player. During this period, whether there is high-level training, whether the diet is healthy, whether the family has good guidance, and whether there is a good schedule , These will make a big difference in a player.

Carus let out an oh, but he still didn't quite understand, and said: You decide this, I just want to remind you, I am here today to encourage the players, now we have reached the point where we must win, I have prepared some bonuses, which will be distributed after the game, and this game must be won.

The game winning award is included in every player's contract. Oliveira doesn't like to repeat awards, but now is an extraordinary moment, and extraordinary things must be done, so Oliveira nodded and agreed with Chairman Carus Rewards for the players.

After the training, the players came to the conference room for a short meeting, and the club chairman Carus. Oliveira gave a pep talk.

...Fans all over the world know Porto, fans all over Europe know Boavista, but only fans in Portugal know that there is a Rexos in the Porto region, it's a shame for us, in the Porto region District, we have as many fans as Porto, stronger than Boavista, we have four generations of hardcore fans, such as Alexandria, but we can only hang out in the Portuguese League, which is a shame, this season, We have to upgrade, this game, we have to win, it’s 100,000 euros, if you win, all the players on the field get a share, if you don’t win, I’ll take it away...

After speaking, Carus snapped the box open, revealing stacks of colorful banknotes inside.

It has to be said that even the concept of offside is not clear. Carus is good at deceiving people. His sensational chicken soup makes the players excited. Of course, 100,000 euros is definitely not a small number for Portuguese players. Everyone Looking forward to getting on the pitch, beating Estoril, getting the money, and having fun with the windfall.
