Chapter 166

As the saying goes, luck can't be stopped when it comes to the mountain. Good luck and bad luck are the same. After being tied by the Portuguese national in the last round, the sixth round opponent of REXOS, Coimbra, has a similar style and played a defensive counterattack at home.

If Rex also defends and counterattacks, it's hard to say. However, Rex is still ranked third. They still want to win, so they attack away, and then they are hit back and forth by the University of Coimbra. First, Captain Elvis scores an own goal, then Rex is impatient, makes a massive attack, and is hit back again. Finally, Rex 3-0 away.

The focus of this round is Porto and Boavista's Porto Derby, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica's Lisbon Derby.

In the end, Porto beat Boavista 2-0, and Lisbon athletic was tied by Benfica. Porto, who won six games in a row, was 5 points ahead of the second place, Lisbon athletic, and Boavista was once again in the relegation zone.

The two focus battles cover up a lot of things, such as Rex's big defeat, such as jimaraes' winning streak. After beating Braga in this round, jimaraes has won three consecutive victories, only one point behind Rex.

The first Portuguese Cup was eliminated by Leiya, the League was tied by the Portuguese national team, and then defeated by Coimbra. REXOS, who has been regarded as a big dark horse by the media and fans, has gone down an obvious road.

Reporters no longer call Rex Sox black horse, and their name in the newspaper has become the promoted horse team of North Porto once again

while another promoted horse, gemarias, has become the new black horse in the eyes of the media and fans after three consecutive wins, and the praise given to Rex Sox has been given to gemarias.

The competition has always been so cruel.

After the game against Coimbra, Oliveira called all the players and coaches together and held a seminar to analyze what happened in the two games and why the team suffered setbacks.

Captain Elvis first apologized to his teammates, saying that his own goal made the team passive.

Oliveira said: "don't apologize. It's no use apologizing. You don't want to score an own goal. Just tell us what you think of our current situation."

Elvis thought about it and said: "I don't think our attack is strong. Oh, I don't mean our defense is strong, but when the opponent plays defensive counterattack, we can't break the goal. I think it's a big problem."

Oliveira said: "attack is a problem, our attack is still too rough, not delicate enough to tear open the opponent's intensive defense."

Blandi said: "I don't think it's enough to rely on the forward's passing and cooperation alone. People are watching one by one, and there are people who assist in defense. How to cooperate? I think set pieces are very important. If we can break the opponent's goal through set pieces, we won't be so passive."

Midfield core Lopez said: "I think we still have to buy people during the winter break. It's hard for us to improve our attack."

Assistant coach Kau said: "it's 10 rounds before the winter break. It's still early to buy people."

Gao Xiaodong leisurely way: "I think our positioning is still a bit of a problem."

Oliveira said, "how do you say that?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "in six games, we won three, drew two, lost one and ranked fourth. It's not bad for a promoted team. In our away game with Coimbra, the opponent showed weakness, defended and counterattacked. We attacked, but we were counterattacked and lost. I thought at that time, can't we get a point? We're better than Coimbra? If we also fight back, it's probably Coimbra who can't calm down. After all, they are the home court, they are the old Portuguese Super League, we are new recruits, and the Portuguese national team is the same. Let's think about my view

Everyone was shocked by what Gao Xiaodong said. Indeed, if they also played defensive counterattack at that time, although they were a bit obscene, they might not lose. After all, it was REXOS' most familiar way of playing. With three backs and defensive counterattack, they defeated Benfica.

Although there is no place for new people like Angulo to speak in such a meeting, Gao Xiaodong just spoke. Angulo still said: "I think what Gao Xiaodong said is reasonable, because the results in front are better. We still put ourselves in a higher position in our hearts. If we fight back no matter who we are against, I think our results should be better Some. "

Zina said: "I don't think we've bought a lot of people in summer. Our advantage is that we can work together. We have to play that instead of fighting with the old Portuguese teams for technical awareness."

……

After that, everyone expressed their opinions more or less. Finally, Oliveira made a concluding speech,

"I think their speech was very good, they all thought about it seriously, and they also said our shortcomings and advantages. I think what Gao Xiaodong said is reasonable. Our positioning at the beginning of the season is correct, we are the weakest, we have to fight for every opponent, But now, although we are also positioning relegation, we don't think so from the bottom of our heart. We think we are the fourth, better than the relegation team like Coimbra, so when they defend and counterattack, we have to attack. In fact, we are wrong. No matter who we face, as long as the Portuguese Super League team is better than us, we should defend and counterattack, not advance Attack. "Oliveira had a discussion with assistant Kau. Let the players digest their words for a while, and then said: "I think, from the next round, we have to change a concept, in the face of any team of the Portuguese Super League, our goal is not to lose, to get a point to be happy, to get three points to be more happy, we play defensive counterattack on every team, as for whether they play defensive counterattack is not important."

Oliveira looked at Gao Xiaodong, who wanted to talk but stopped, and said, "Gao Xiaodong, you can say whatever you want."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "if we play defensive counterattack, the opponent also plays defensive counterattack, we don't pay attention to them, just don't attack, see who can support, if they can support, we will get a 1 point again, they want to be obscene, we will be obscene, see who is more obscene, anyway, we are promoted."

When it comes to this, the fat man's heart is bleeding. What's less is not only the league points, but also his system points. If he wins the national team and Coimbra team, his system points will be 23 points, three points less, my God.

Oliveira laughs. In this case, he can't find a coach, but he agrees. As a person who has been promoted to the Portuguese Super League five times and beaten down several times, he knows the cruelty of the Portuguese Super League.

"What Xiao Dong said is also reasonable. We should be flexible at that time, but according to the characteristics of our personnel and playing methods, we should insist on defending and counterattacking in the following season. In this way, we should have no problem in relegation."

If Oliveira said that before losing to Coimbra, the players may not agree even if they don't say anything face to face, and they may not do what the coach says on the court. But now, they think that maybe defending and counterattacking is their only choice.
