After the Spring Festival, the 19th round against REXOS is a severe test. In this round, REXOS has to face Porto's derby opponent Boavista.
Boavista, No.10 in the scoreboard, is in a low state of mind. Due to the influence of the "final sentinel action", during the winter transfer period, the top management of Boavista's club, which is in a mess, has not been a strong team this season.
But Rex's Lopez last muscle strain, at least to rest for four weeks, brandy just recovered, still can't give the team to help, now Rex front court stretched.
In the match with Boavista, Oliveira let Sanchez go to the front court to play with Gao Xiaodong in the front midfield and continue to play in the 4321 formation. However, this arrangement was proved wrong in the first half. Boavista, who was in low condition, was 1-0 ahead of REXOS in the first half.
However, Oliveira made adjustments in the second half, pushing Gao Xiaodong to the front line, forming a double forward with Robert, playing a 442 formation that he had never played in this season.
Now that Gao Xiaodong and Robert have cooperated, there is lethality in the front court, but the midfield doesn't have the ability to control the ball. Gao Xiaodong has to withdraw to get the ball. In fact, 442 has become 4411.
this formation change caught Boavista by surprise, which was quickly leveled by REXOS and reversed the score.
But soon, Boavista found REXOS's life gate, the lack of midfield ball pass people, they sent someone to mark high Xiaodong.
Although Gao Xiaodong is very strong and fast, it's hard for ordinary people to keep an eye on him, but someone is always around him. It's a huge test for REXOS players who pass the ball. If they are not careful, they may be hit back by the ball.
Rex was lack of ball control players, so Rex players in Gao Xiaodong after being marked, dare not pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, but directly to the front court to find Robert.
The efficiency of such rough attack tactics is very low. Boavista is playing better and better. He leveled the score at the last moment and drew 2-2 with REXOS away from home.
In this round, REXOS drew, jimaraes lost, and the Portuguese super three all won.
In the table, Porto reached the top again with 45 points, REXOS fell to second with 44 points, Lisbon athletic was close to REXOS with 38 points, Benfica ranked fourth with 36 points, and gemarians fell to sixth with 30 points. It was maridimo who caught up with them. There were problems in 4321 formation and 442 formation in the 19th round, and Oliveira continued to change formation in the 20th round.
Gao Xiaodong plays single forward, Robert and Oscar play double forward, and the formation becomes 4312.
This is Gao Xiaodong's first time to play single front midfield. Before that, he was an assistant. In the back midfield position, he assisted Zina. In the front midfield position, he assisted Lopez. Even when he played forward, he assisted Robert. He never played alone.
As it turns out, it's not so easy to be independent. Gao Xiaodong, who is 19 years old but a professional d-level, is still hard to be such a great person for the time being.
Portugal's opponents are very familiar with REXOS now, and inspired by Boavista's last game, Portugal's national team seized on REXOS's lack of players who can give the ball, and focused on Gao Xiaodong, attacking REXOS's two flanks heavily, making REXOS's flanks unable to assist.
The Portuguese national's two moves are very good and strong. REXOS played the worst game of the season and lost 3-0 away.
In this round, REXOS is not the only one in bad condition. Sporting Lisbon also lost to the weak team. Benfica was tied by Braga. Only Porto still won steadily, and gimaliens also recovered and beat navar 1-0.
After this round of competition, Porto continued to lead the table with 48 points, 4 points ahead of REXOS, 38 points ahead of Sporting Lisbon, 37 points for Benfica and 33 points for jimaliens.
The poor state of the league made REXOS have no time to take care of the cup. In the middle of the week, in the eighth finals of the Portuguese Cup, REXOS, who came off the bench, was tied 0-0 by girensent of the Portuguese first division, and was eliminated by his opponent on penalty.
After the two games, REXOS and Gao Xiaodong were questioned by the media and fans.
In fact, the journalists and fans who don't like Rex and Gao Xiaodong have been waiting too long, because Rex has been winning all the time and they don't have the chance to talk. Now, the chance has finally come. What awesome news of Anna,
, the news of the news, is that the powers of lechsus and Gao Xiaodong have lost their power. They are seen by their opponents. Now they have been very hard to win. It will be more difficult later. Do not think about any Kaiserslautern miracle. If you can keep the Champions League, you must see that Lisbon sports and Benfica are not able to suck up.
Anna also made a comment on Gao Xiaodong's performance. She thinks Gao Xiaodong is not suitable for playing single front midfield. He is too young and has to train for several seasons. The front midfield needs not only impact, but also experience and wisdom.
Since REXOS became Porto's opponent, the chronicle has become less friendly to REXOS and Gao Xiaodong, with more criticism than praise.This time, the "record" expressed a similar view with the "news" that the magic of REXOS in the first half was because the opponents were not familiar with them. In the second half, REXOS actually encountered the common problem of all promoted black horses, that is, they were seen through, the depth of the bench was not enough, they could not come up with any new moves, and it was normal for the performance to decline.
"Competition" said that Rex Sox would like to continue to compete, must actively make changes, but also blood, otherwise, to meet their fear is a straight decline.
Senior reporter Ma Ya also commented on the changes of Rex Sox, thinking that Gao Xiaodong is really unable to play a single front waist formation, Rex Sox might as well play 433 directly.
Even the local media "North Porto sports" in matoxinu also said that it is time for Carlos to invest. If he does not replenish blood during the winter break, REXOS will not want to continue to compete with Portugal's top three for the Champions League seat.
On the Internet, the fans of all clubs sneer at REXOS and attack in groups. REXOS fans are not united now. Some support REXOS' transformation, some criticize REXOS' transformation, some support Gao Xiaodong's single front waist, and some think Gao Xiaodong's single front waist is a disaster.
The disunited fans of REXOS can't resist the joint siege of other club fans. In the forum, REXOS fans almost become the vulnerable group ridiculed by the group.
After three rounds of unbeaten league matches, the cup match was eliminated, the media criticized and the fans questioned. As the winter break was about to pass, REXOS finally felt the chill of winter.
The bad situation of REXOS is an opportunity for Yang Fan. Before that, Gao Xiaodong recommended Yang Fan to coach Oliveira through Mendes. However, the situation of REXOS was not so bad at that time. Oliveira was not willing to introduce a new Chinese player with similar characteristics to Gao Xiaodong and no combat power.
After all, it's only on loan. It's not Angulo's own youth training player. It's not good to cultivate him. If he doesn't have instant combat power, he's useless.
However, after Lopez and brandy were injured one after another, Oliveira thought of a bad situation. What should Wan Yigao do if he is injured? Now REXOS really needs a replacement.
Of course, the substitute can not be found casually, must be able to quickly integrate into the team.
Yang Fan, a Chinese player recommended by Mendes, is Gao Xiaodong's friend. Oliveira can guess with his heel that this is Gao Xiaodong's meaning, but he has taken a curvilinear path.
At present, the green and unsophisticated Yang Fan will not play as the main force. If he is a substitute, because both Yang Fan and Gao Xiaodong are compatriots, it will not be a problem to integrate.
After repeated consideration, Oliveira finally made the decision to rent Yang Fan.
On the last day of the winter break, Rex asked Benfica to rent Yang Fan. Yang Fan also said that he wanted to go out for training. Benfica didn't pay much attention to Yang Fan who played in the reserve team. He agreed to Yang Fan's request and rented him to Rex for a season.
