In the focus of the 12th round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto beat Benfica 1-0 in the national derby and continued to lead the table with 32 points.
After the promotion marexos defeated amarado, he surpassed Lisbon athletic, who was drawn by deputy squad leader Leiya, and jumped to the second place with 27 points.
Sporting Lisbon ranked third with 25 points.
Benfica, who lost, finished fourth with just 24 points.
Another promoted majima Liangsi ranked fifth with 21 points.
After 12 rounds, two of the top five were promoted, which started the history of Portuguese Super League.
After the match, Ma ya, a reporter from competition daily, yelled, "I don't understand!" "This kind of Portuguese Super League is totally different from any previous one. The original promoted horse is the fish belly of Portuguese Super League and the target of scoring. Now NIMA is like a gangster, robbing the old strong teams everywhere, and the rich families are not spared. It's really crazy."
"News" reporter Anna also thinks that this is an abnormal season, the old strong team downturn, middle team confusion, promoted horse crazy, every game is hard to guess, such as this round, deputy monitor Leiya even drew Sporting Lisbon, this unexpected explosion is no less than the promoted horse beat Benfica.
Anna thinks that in such a troubled time, making any judgment in advance may become a laughing stock. The most rational way is to wait and see what will happen after half way. Pigs can't fly to heaven after all, and the king is the king after all.
Although Anna is a bit paranoid, she has been able to stand for many years in a big newspaper such as the news, and her level is still good. This insinuating comment has also been recognized by many media peers.
In the 13th round, REXOS's opponent is Braga, sixth last season and seventh this season.
In the current round of three big rivals are very weak, REXOS vs Braga should be regarded as a play.
But because of the 14th round, the big black horse Rex Sox and Porto will fight for the top of the table, which is also the regional Derby of Porto, or Rex Sox's midfield player Gao Xiaodong facing his old club.
The impact of this game is so great that the game between Rex and Braga has almost become a cushion game between Rex and Porto.
"Support REXOS to the end!"
"It's too early for REXOS to challenge Porto!"
"If you win Benfica, you don't know your last name, and you don't know who the champions of the last ten years are."
"If Porto don't win REXOS two goals, I won't watch the ball in my life."
"If REXOS doesn't explode, I'll go on a hunger strike for three days."
"Pay attention! This is a live post from REXOS and Braga. Porto and REXOS are in the next round
"How can REXOS challenge Porto? Can their whole team be worth as much as Quaresma?"
"Benfica fans said the same thing last time, but Ha ha... "
……
Under the live posts of Rex Sox and Braga in the forum, the fans are almost all talking about Porto and Rex Sox. If not for the support of the diehard Braga fans, the poor fourth place last season was almost automatically ignored.
Portugal's media are also building momentum for the match between Porto and REXOS. Not only the major sports newspapers, but also the national sports channel have mentioned the match and called it the counter attack of promotion.
In the face of fans and media frenzy, REXOS coach Oliveira was not dazed by the victory. The opponent in the 13th round was the fourth in last season. He had played in the UEFA Cup, and the opponent in the next round was the super overlord of Portuguese football. Even if Oliveira was dazed, he would not be so arrogant that he thought REXOS could compete with Porto.
In order to prevent the players from being influenced by the media, Oliveira even asked the players not to read newspapers or surf the Internet. But in this information age, how can this requirement be achieved.
Fortunately, the players of REXOS also played Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and also played a warm-up match with Porto. They were not influenced by the fans and the media.
In the match with Braga, REXOS still played the same 4321 formation as in the previous game. Gao Xiaodong and Lopez played together at the front and brandy at the front.
Compared with amarado in the last game, the trio of REXOS in the front match is more tacit.
Especially Gao Xiaodong, he has brought his strength, speed and cunning to the extreme. Under his tossing, poor Braga can only frequently use fouls to prevent Gao Xiaodong from playing.
After Gao Xiaodong attracted many opponents, brandy and Lopez got more space to play. In the first half, they jointly scored a goal and changed the score to 1:0.
after the half-time, Gao Xiaodong suddenly applied a cold arrow and changed the score to 2:0.
seeing that the victory had been decided, REXOS coach Oliveira boldly replaced him Young full back Angelo, replaced by the summer transfer to buy midfield Sanchez, debug the lineup, and prepare for the next fierce battle with Porto.Angulo has been playing time since the Portuguese first division, and now he has become a reliable substitute on the bench. He not only has speed technology, but also has a good free kick, and he has a tacit understanding with Gao Xiaodong. He can often play a role in changing the situation.
Sanchez has both offensive and defensive, as well as Portuguese super experience. His role in REXOS midfield has gradually surpassed randino and nice, becoming an important chess piece in Oliveira's hands.
After Angulo and Sanchez came on the court, REXOS firmly grasped the initiative of the game, and never gave Braga a chance to draw. Before the end of the game, REXOS trio played a wonderful match again, Gao Xiaodong made the wall, Lopez blocked, brandy shoved in the penalty area, and locked the score at 3:0.
after the game, Gao Xiaodong, brandy and lope played well The frontcourt trio has been hailed as "the strongest iron triangle in history" by North Porto sports.
"Competition" reporter Maya think Porto's next game is more difficult to play, they not only want to try to destroy REXOS's iron barrel array, but also to prevent REXOS's front iron triangle. If you are not careful, you may repeat the mistakes of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.
After playing Braga, REXOS points have reached 30 points. Coach Oliveira is very high. Xiao Dong said that REXOS has almost got the points required for relegation. Now they need a new goal, which is to stay in the top five and get the chance to play in Europe.
Porto's performance in this game was a bit abnormal. They drew 2-2 with Ferreira away from home. Although they continued to lead the table with 33 points, their lead has shrunk to within one game.
In the other important games, Benfica continued to play a good game and a bad game. They lost 0-1 away to bilaneses, and the point gap between Porto and Benfica has widened to 9 points. It is almost hopeless to win the championship.
Sporting Lisbon and jimaraeus both won. Sporting Lisbon clenched REXOS, while jimaraeus drew Benfica, still keeping the pressure on Porto and REXOS.
After the 13th round, the focus war between REXOS and Porto is finally coming. It is a once-in-a-hundred-year event that the promoted team and the defending champion compete for the first place. Almost all Portugal are talking about the coming war, which is as hot as the national Derby of Porto and Benfica.
