Restricted Superstar

Lexos’s big victory did not bring them back to the top of the list, nor did they change their rankings, because Lexos’s three competitors, Rio Avi, Guimarães and Santa Clara, all won. , But Gao Xiaodong's wonderful performance in the position of the back midfielder has blackened his "Izvestia", "Northern Porto Sport" and some fans.

However, the media, like the fans, is always on the fence, scolding if you lose, and boasting if you win.

After Lexos's big win, the online and offline scolding of the team, Oliveira, and Gao Xiaodong disappeared. Criticism and doubts were reduced by more than half, and praises became the mainstream.

The headline of the post-match comment of the "Nordo Sporting" was "The Victory of Change", praising the coach Oliveira for his kindness, making changes to the lineup and promptly recalling Brandi, who had just recovered from injury. Praising Brandi for his sharp shooting skills, he deserves to be the head shooter of Rexus. Regardless of the approval of Gao Xiaodong just now, he immediately turned around and praised Gao Xiaodong for his ability to fight tough battles, both offensive and defensive, and playing in danger, stabilizing the team's defense, and establishing the victory with one pass and one shot.

"The Record" reported the game in a few words: Rexos finally broke the draw circle, with the score of the comeback striker Brandy and the stunning record of the Chinese teenager Gao Xiaodong. Shot, Lexos beat Estoril 3-0 at home.

Other big media such as "Morning Post" and "Football Tribe" simply mentioned Lexos' victory when reporting on the Portuguese League match. Neither Gao Xiaodong nor Brandi was mentioned, only The beauty reporter Anna of Izvestia continued to question Gao Xiaodong’s performance, thinking that the occasional highlight performance is nothing but because the opponent is not familiar with him. For the defensive midfielder, the most important thing is stable performance. She also sneered. , The world football has never heard of a precedent of great success for a striker to change to a midfielder.

On the second day of training, Gao Xiaodong was the first to come to the training base. After he arrived, he began to bump the ball and became familiar with the ball. He bumped hundreds of times in one breath. Gao Xiaodong heard someone call him from behind.

"Fatty, reporter Anna criticized you again."

In the entire Lexos team, only Angulo was named Fatty Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong couldn’t read Portuguese newspapers and didn’t know how sacred Anna was. He smiled and turned around and said, "Whoever loves criticizes who criticizes? Crow Calling every day, don't you stop working."

Angulo’s team deputy Zina said: “Xiao Donggao, you have a good mentality. As a professional player, don’t care what the media say.”

Captain Evis said: "Gao, the "Nordo Sporting News" praised you again, haha, you just finished black in the middle of the week, is this eating your own **** again?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "This is eating the **** he pulled out as a tart."

Evis gave a thumbs up and said, "It's beautiful and level."

Hearing that Eves treats nausea as fun, not to mention the elegant Brandi speechless, even Zena and Angulo can't stand it.

Team deputy Zener said: "Okay, don't talk about reporters. If you go on, my breakfast will be spit out."

Gao Xiaodong talked and laughed happily with the big guys in the team, apparently they have been regarded as his own. Robert saw it in his eyes and hated his toothache. He has not yet joined the team. This kid is like the captain and the deputy and others. Close, Robert is envious and jealous.

At this time, Evis saw the coach Oliveira coming here from the corner of his eyes. He immediately slapped his face and said: "What time is it, what are you talking about? Get equipment and prepare for training."

"Haha, now that the captain has met the coach, I guess he's going to feel like a chaff."

"One thing drops one thing."

"You are not afraid, you continue to be nonsense."

At this time, everyone also saw the coach and hurried to the equipment room to move the equipment.

In the morning, the other players resumed training, but Gao Xiaodong carried out intensive training with other players who did not play. The assistant coach personally corrected his problems in the midfielder position.

Obviously, this is a small focus, but Gao Xiaodong has this strength. He played for more than ten minutes and made a goal and an assist. It is not normal for the coach to favor it.

...

The days after winning always flew quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the 21st round of the Portuguese League came before our eyes.

In this round, leader Rio Avi met fourth place Santa Clara. The second place Guimaraes opponent was sixth-ranked Gavicente, while Lexos’s opponent was the weakest and ranked No. 2 in the league. Tyrolfens of 12,

This is a good opportunity for Lexos to go ahead. Rio Avi and Guimarães are very strong opponents. Even if it is at home, there is a risk of being upset.

Now Rexos is 3 points less than Rio Avi, 2 points less than Guimarães, and 1 point more than Santa Clara. Once Rio Avi and Guimarães can’t win, Rexos defeats Tyrolfin. They are expected to advance one or two places.

In addition, after this round of the game, in the next 22nd round, Lexos will face the leader Rioves at home. Therefore, even if Lexos cannot catch up with Rioave in this round, he must not. Be opened again, otherwise the next game will be too passive, that is to say, they still have to win this game in order to take their destiny into their own hands.

After agreeing to his daughter-in-law Molly to take care of Gao Xiaodong, Oliveira designed a training plan for Gao Xiaodong. According to Gao Xiaodong's performance, he will gradually increase or decrease Gao Xiaodong's playing time until he starts or is completely abandoned, but Because Gao Xiaodong suddenly changed his position and hit the midfielder, and this position brought a big change to Rexos' formation, Oliveira had to reposition Gao Xiaodong.

It turns out that Rexus's formation is generally 433 or 4321, and Zener is the only defensive midfielder. There is no way, only Zener has this ability, and Landino is at the substitute level and can't take on the big responsibility.

However, Gao Xiaodong’s performance against Estoril is too wonderful. If he and Zener partner with a double midfielder, it will greatly consolidate Lexos’s midfield defense. In a strong dialogue, it is not your offensive power. You can win, and you want to win by defense. If you can play with Zina and Gao Xiaodong in the game against Rio Avi, the defense will definitely be much better.

But the problem now is that Gao Xiaodong has only played a midfielder in the official game. In addition, he has always been a substitute and has never started. It is too risky for him to play the main force in the game against Rio Avi.

However, when the situation came to this time, Oliveira was not allowed to use Gao Xiaodong step by step. Therefore, Oliveira decided to let Gao Xiaodong play in the game against Tyrolfens. If the effect is good, then Let Gao Xiaodong be the main player in the game against Rio Avi, play at least half of the game, if the effect is not good, then continue to play in sporadic time.
