Chapter 88: Decision
Before the 16th round, Santa Clara's points were 7 points less than the leader Rexos, and 4 points less than the second place Guimaraes. In the 16th round, both Rexos and Guimaraes lost. , and Santa Clara narrowly beat Portimance 2:1 at home, narrowing the points gap with Rexos to 4 points, and greatly increasing the hope of promotion.
In this round, Santa Clara and Rexos faced each other on a narrow road, and everyone wanted to defeat the opponent and increase their hope of upgrading.
The fourth place challenges the leader. Such a strong dialogue is definitely the highlight of the Portuguese League.
Most of the main media in Portugal sent reporters to the March Stadium in Rexos for interviews. Li Xiang, the European reporter of the Chinese Sports Weekly, and Niu Yu, a reporter from the Portuguese Chinese Newspaper, also came.
This year is the 100th birthday of Rexos. The team has a good record and is very likely to enter the Portuguese Super League. The team has a good record and the market is booming. The March Stadium, which can accommodate 25,000 people, is full half an hour before the game. of.
The Rexos fan organization Red Mafia is hanging banners under the leadership of their leader Alexander. Tribute!, some read Defeat Santa Clara...
One of the banners was written in a different way, because it said Come on, Gao Xiaodong! in Chinese.
Matosinho, where Rexos is located, is a place where Chinese people live. I heard that my compatriot Gao Xiaodong has entered the 18-man roster of Rexos and may appear in the game against Santa Clara on Sunday. The Chinese people were very excited, and many of them walked into the March Stadium to watch a Portuguese League match for the first time.
Chen Qiang and Zhang Liang, the president of Portuguese Chinese News, formed a year-end friendship with Gao Xiaodong in amateur games. Today is the day when Gao Xiaodong entered the professional league squad for the first time. They also came to the scene to cheer for Gao Xiaodong. There is Xiao Le, Gao Xiaodong's temporary personal assistant.
Does Fatty have a chance to appear on stage today? Zhang Liang asked Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang said: There is a lot of hope, but it depends on the situation of the game. If it is very anxious, it is hard to say. If the victory and defeat are determined in advance, there should be a chance to make an appearance.
Zhang Liang said with some disappointment: The two teams are similar in strength. Even if Rexos is playing at home, it will be very difficult to seal the victory early.
Chen Qiang said: Actually, our expectations for Fatty are too high. He started as an amateur player, practiced football for a year, entered the Star of Hope, and later entered the giants Porto. Now he has successfully entered the Portuguese League. The roster, which is already remarkable, after all, he is only 18 years old.
Zhang Liang slapped his head and said: Yeah, we are used to him creating miracles, and feel that he has gone downhill when he came to Rexos from Porto, but we ignored his age and experience. It is true that we are too demanding to be able to enter The Portuguese squad is already amazing.
When the leader spoke, Xiao Le sat aside and had no right to intervene, but she believed that since Oliveira had put Gao Xiaodong in the squad, she would definitely give him a chance to play.
South Stand of Rexos
A gathering place for die-hard Rexos fans.
Taylor, a member of the Red Mafia, said to Alexandra: Will the Huaguo kid you said you quarreled with be on stage today?
Alexander waved his arms and shouted: I don't know why Oliveira put that Porto boy in the big list, this kid just sees that Rexos is expected to surpass, and wants to gain our glory and come to mix seniority of.
Taylor said: Valandi is injured. We only have Thales as a backup striker. Facing a strong team like Santa Clara, we need to strengthen our offensive power. He may really have a chance.
Alexander Road: What attack power does that fat man have? He is stupid, slow and stupid, so he knows how to run around.
Alexander, you can't look at people with colored eyes,
When I saw him take off his jersey that day, he actually had very little fat. Just a stout body, with a little baby fat face. said Taylor.
Alexander Road: Taylor, I don't look at him with colored eyes. His ability is just not good. I don't believe he has a chance to play.
Taylor said: Don't be so absolute, Alexander.
Alexander said disdainfully: If he can play, I will eat the ball.
Taylor laughed loudly and said, If you keep your word, you'll have to eat at least a thousand balls now.
Everyone around laughed too.
While talking, a whistle came, and the game started. The fans quickly stopped talking and focused on the field.
Facing a leader stronger than themselves in the away game, the Santa Clara team played very cautiously. They formed a 4321 formation and fought hard for the midfield. The full-backs seldom assisted halftime, and put the hope of scoring goals in the middle after stealing on the counterattack.
Facing the strong team's defensive counterattack, fighting against the weak team, getting all the points that should be obtained, and then waiting for the strong team to make mistakes. This is the plan that Santa Clara coach Danny made for the team. .
There is no way around this. Santa Clara is a small club with no talent, no funds, and no backing. We can only adopt this strategy to see if there is a chance to break into the Portuguese Super League.
In the first round of the second half, Rexos lost to Gi Vicente, who was sixth in the league. They were approached by their opponents in the standings, and the attitude of the players was questioned by the media. In this round, they must use victory to respond to doubts and improve morale , to get everything back on track.
To win, you must attack. Amidst the cheers of 25,000 fans at home, Rexos set up a 433 formation and launched a fierce offensive against Santa Clara at the beginning.
On the bench of Rexos, Gao Xiaodong looked at the opponents and teammates fighting on the field, nervous and excited. This was the first time in his life that he was so close to a professional football match. The wonderful situation of many people watching the ball.
If I can score a goal and win the cheers and applause of 25,000 people, I will definitely die of happiness. Gao Xiaodong thought of this, and at this moment, he finally had the answer to the things that he had been struggling with last night. Whether it is worth it or not, I need to play, I need to score goals, and I need good luck. After Gao Xiaodong made a decision, he acted immediately. He opened the system interface in his mind, clicked on the application settings, found the item of luck, and clicked to buy a day's good luck .
The player has selected a lucky point and needs a special point. Please confirm the purchase.
A confirmation dialog box appeared on the interface, and Gao Xiaodong clicked it without hesitation.
The player has successfully purchased a good luck point, I wish you a happy consumption and a good day.
Nima, if one day is unlucky, I will return the product. Gao Xiaodong's heart is bleeding. This is the result of a year of hard work. I only bought one day of good luck.
Gao Xiaodong then checked his personal settings and found that the original special score had disappeared.
Fatty, what are you doing? A goal!
Fatty! What are you thinking, Fatty...
Gao Xiaodong was busy shopping in the system. He didn't know he had scored a goal. The substitute players next to him rushed out to congratulate him. He was the only one sitting there in a daze. He didn't even hear Angulo calling him when he came back.
Ah! What's the matter? Gao Xiaodong asked in a daze.
At this time, the translator also came back to celebrate, and translated Gao Xiaodong's words to Angulo.
We scored! Angulo said excitedly.
We scored? Who scored? Gao Xiaodong cheered up. He didn't expect good luck to come so quickly. He just bought a luck point, and the team scored a goal. This is a good thing. Two more goals , To seal the victory, I will have a chance to play, no, this luck is my luck, it has nothing to do with the team's luck, it seems to be a coincidence.
Robert, the striker you brought in during the winter break. Angulo said.
The radish is amazing, it's a pity, I missed a goal. Gao Xiaodong said.
There will be goals. The opponent can't continue to defend now. Our striker has a great chance. Angulo is equally excited. If the victory is secured, at the last time, his hope of playing is greater than that of Gao Xiaodong. It's defense, not offense.
