Chapter 129: Counterattack

In the case of a bad game, set-pieces are the best way to change the situation.

After Gao Xiaodong made a corner kick, Eves stared at his teammates and shouted: "I'm suffocated in these ten minutes! I'm going to shoot! Anyone who has the ability to shoot will try!"

Guimarães’ 22-year-old central defender Jeromere scored a goal, and the 18-year-old midfielder Gao Xiaodong took another beautiful long shot. Under the call of captain Elvis, he was good at headers and grabbing points. All of the players rushed into Guimarães’s penalty area with their fists.

Lopez took a corner kick and Evis, who was venting his heart, really grabbed the spot, but he was too anxious. Guimarães’s center-back Geromell was defending him. Eves grabbed the point and it was pretty good. The shot couldn't be comfortable. He was too straight on the top of the ball, hit the goalkeeper's body directly, and was punched out by goalkeeper Nelson.

The Guimaraes fans were shocked, and they were still clamoring, but at this time they were also silent.

Lexos fans continued to applaud and shout to cheer their players on.

At present, Lexus’s situation has become very dangerous. If he loses, Lexos may even be overtaken by third-place Santa Clara and lose promotion to the Portuguese Super League. This extremely dangerous situation may cause people to lose resistance. His courage may also make people burst into greater potential.

After Gao Xiaodong and captain Evis made two consecutive attacks full of courage, the morale of the Lexos players gradually increased, and the idea of ​​a Jedi counterattack prevailed.

Today Lexos’s starting left-back is Margis. In such a crucial game, veteran Philip’s physical fitness supports at most halftime. Angulo is too young and coach Oliveira has no better choice. , Can only send the strong offensive and defensive Magis to resist for a while.

The offensive combination of Margis and Nice is the key area for the opponent's attack today. In the first ten minutes, under the frequent defense of Gao Xiaodong, the goal of Guimarães broke through from this area.

After the ball was cleared by goalkeeper Nelson with both fists, it just fell at the feet of Guimarães right forward Favio. Favio tasted the sweetness and took the ball and ran along the wing to attack Marquis. Short board.

Seeing Favio attacking Magis again, Gao Xiaodong was worried and ran to the side to grab Favio.

Favio played very cunningly and was not reckless. Seeing Gao Xiaodong coming over, he knocked his heel back to the fast-tracking full-back Montoya. Montoya immediately crossed the middle, and Guimarães hit the midfielder. Immediately formed a good situation with striker Milian and striker Zina alone.

This situation has occurred many times, and some teams have dealt with Rexos in this way before, but their passing quality is too poor. Rexos has enough time to assist and defend, and Guimarães is the leader. , And sufficient targeted training in advance, the passing is fast and accurate, Robert and Lopez are too slow to return to defense, unable to defensively insert the players, only Gao Xiaodong can be counted on.

At this moment, Gao Xiaodong had just arrived on the side and could not fly back, unless he did not help defend Magis on the side, but if he did not help defend Magis, Magis would be breached by his opponent again, and he would stand alone at the side back. In the case of insufficient defensive ability, the midfielder is actually in a dilemma.

Zener couldn't prevent two people from being killed. He was easily broken by his opponent two by one.

However, because Guimarães was beaten badly in front, when his teammates ran near the opponent's penalty area, the starting right midfielder Landino stayed behind. Seeing the opponents were fighting against Zener, he quickly returned to defense. Up.

When Milian broke through Zener and drove the ball into the penalty area, Lantino quickly shoveled from behind.

Struggling to shovel the ball to goalkeeper Bailier.

After goalkeeper Bailier got the ball, he didn't have a long pass. Because the opponent's Jerome has strong air control ability, Robert and Brandi couldn't compete with him, and the long pass was almost equal to giving the opponent the ball. Look at Lopez coming back, Bailier tossed the ball to Lopez.

Lopez didn't have a long pass after taking the ball. He dribbled forward, Gao Xiaodong and Zener quickly inserted assists one after another, one to meet Lopez and the other to protect Lopez.

Guimarães's striker and midfielder counter-attacked in the frontcourt, slowing Lexos' counterattack speed.

Under the interference of the opponent, after Lexos passed the ball to the frontcourt, Guimarães' defense line was already in place, and Lexos' counterattack turned into a positional battle.

It was very difficult to fight a positional battle, and the personnel were intensively positioned. Soon, the ball was cut off by the defender of Guimarães to counterattack.

Gao Xiaodong and Zener had to run desperately to defend their penalty area and both sides of the penalty area.

In this way, the two defensive midfielders and full-backs suffer the most. Even if they are exhausted to death, it is difficult to balance both offense and defense.

Yang Fan in the stands looked anxious, and constantly yelled at the court: "Ah! Why are the forwards so slow to return to defense! Are you just defending by the back midfielder and defender?"

Alexander of the Red Mafia also shouted: "Return to defense! Forwards return to defense!"

Members of the Red Mafia also chanted after the leader.

The commentator Winkla said anxiously: "What's the matter with Oliveira? Why don't you make adjustments, don't change players, and let them retreat? If this continues, even if the opponent can't score, Gao Xiaodong Zina will be tired. died."

Oliveira does not eat dry food. He has long seen the crux of the problem. In fact, this has always been Rexos’s fate, but the opponent in front is too weak to grasp this fate. .

Lexos’s frontcourt trio is not good at defense. Robert is limited to physical fitness, Lopez is limited to physical conditions, and Brandi is not good at defense. They can improve the quality of defense without shouting from fans.

Oliveira had no choice but to stand on the sidelines and call for Robert, Lopez and Brandi to take tactical fouls and use a yellow card to prevent opponents from counterattacking.

Now that the head coach said so, in such a dangerous situation, Robert, Lopez and Brandi also worked hard. They ran with all their strength and used their bodies and fouls to block Guimarães's quick counterattack.

Guimarães is in a very good situation, with an advantage in points, and the referee is also a human. It is inevitable that he tends to be behind, so the Rexos forwards did not blow the less obvious fouls.

The first line of defense in the frontcourt by Lexus delayed the opponent's offense, and the defensive pressure at the back was lighter, and Lexos's offensive gradually came up.

However, Guimarães coach Kahuda not only found Lexos’s defensive shortcomings, but was also fully prepared for Lexos’s offense. Their three midfielders lined up to defend against the sidelines. There is also protection in the middle. At the central defender position, Jerome is tall and flexible. He has advantages over both Robert and Brandi. Rexus almost always plays more with less, playing very awkwardly.

Rexus's offensive became more and more fierce, and the formation was pressing more and more forward in the offensive. Guimarães gained a lot of room for counterattack.

In the 35th minute, Guimarães central defender Jeromere cleverly interrupted Lopez’s pass to Robert in the backcourt. Then the Brazilian defender showed good offensive ability and vision. He saw teammate Milian start. Running sideways, he immediately passed a long pass over the head of Rexos center-back Eves, giving striker Milian a chance to go to the meeting alone.

Evis was tall, but turned slowly. He turned around when Milian turned into a straight run. When he started to accelerate, Gao Xiaodong, who returned to the defense at halftime, ran ahead of him.

The fans of the home team Guimarães looked nervously at the ball and did not dare to breathe.

Half of the away team fans were praying, and half were desperately shouting: "Quickly chase! High!"

"Run! Evis!"

"Chasing! Can't give up!"

The reporter's camera and camera were closely chasing the striker Milian with the ball, for fear that he would miss the scoring moment.

Feeling that there was no one behind him, Milian played very relaxed. Facing the fast-attack Rexos goalkeeper Bailier, he made a big change in the penalty area and passed Bailier because he was worried that Bailier would pounce. The ball went a little bit bigger, but after catching the ball, the angle was still there, and Milian pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal from a small angle.

Almost all Lexos fans closed their eyes. They fell into despair ahead of time. If their opponents lead by two to zero, then not only will the championship be gone, but the chance of promotion may be gone.

Almost everyone thought that the ball must be scored, but no one expected that Gao Xiaodong, who had not given up, rushed to the goal line and shoveled the ball out of the baseline. He ran too fast. Due to inertia, he His body also hit the goalpost.

There was an exclamation of "Ahhhhh" in the stands.

"God! None of this went in!"

"that's too regretful!"

"Missed the chance to seal the victory!"

The fans of Guimarães talked.

The fans of Lexos who escaped from the dead were overjoyed. They jumped up and applauded almost at the same time and shouted:

"Good job! High!"

"Do it like Gao!"

"Don't give up!"

"We still have a chance!"

"This is our 100th birthday! You must win!"

"Remember today's day!"

...

When Milian faced goalkeeper Bailier, Chairman Carus also closed his eyes, not daring to look. He opened his eyes when he heard the exclamation, and found that Gao Xiaodong was lying down in the goal, but the ball was not. Entering, he clapped ecstatically.

The chairman of the Portuguese Football Association also secretly nodded for Gao Xiaodong's perseverance.

Watching Gao Xiaodong hit the goal post after making a tackle, the frightened Rexos goalkeeper Bailier hurried over to help him up.

Winkla, who came to the Alfonso-Enrique Stadium to explain, exclaimed: "This is a return to defense from a distance of forty to fifty meters. Gao Xiaodong saved the team without his rescue on the goal line. Rexus is over."

Xiao Le, Yang Fan, Chen Qiang and others in the stands were more concerned about whether Gao Xiaodong was injured in the collision. They didn't feel relieved until Gao Xiaodong limped to his feet under the support of the goalkeeper.
