The 19th round after the Chinese New Year will be a tough test for Lexos, who will face Porto derby rivals Boavista. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Boavista, who is tenth in the standings, is in a sluggish state and discouraged, because of the impact of the "final whistle action", during the winter transfer period, the anxious Boavista's club management has not replenished blood, and this season can no longer be regarded as a strong team.

However, Luxos' López suffered a muscle strain last time out and will have to rest for at least four weeks, and Brandi has just recovered from injury and has not been able to help the team, and now Rhexos is stretched to the limit.

In the match with Boavista, Oliveira asked Sanchez to go to the front court to partner with Gao Xiaodong in the front and continue to play the 4321 formation, but this arrangement was proved wrong in the first half, and Boavista, who was in a slump, led Lexos 1:0 in the first half.

In desperation, Oliveira made adjustments in the second half, pushed Gao Xiaodong to the front, formed a double striker with Robert, and played a 442 formation that had never been played this season.

Now Gao Xiaodong and Robert have cooperated, the lethality of the front court is there, but the midfielder is not able to control the ball, Gao Xiaodong must retreat to get the ball, in fact, 442 has become 4411.

The change caught Boavista off guard, and Lexos quickly equalised and reversed the scores.

However, Boavista soon found Lexus's goal, and the midfield lacked someone to control the ball and pass the ball, so he sent someone to guard Gao Xiaodong.

Although Gao Xiaodong is very strong and fast, it is difficult for ordinary people to keep an eye on him, but someone is always by Gao Xiaodong's side, which is a huge test for the Lexus players who pass the ball.

Rexos originally lacked players who could play and control the ball, so after Gao Xiaodong was marked, the players of Rexos did not dare to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, but directly played to the front court to find Robert.

Such a rough attacking tactic was inefficient, and Boavista played better and better, equalising in the last minute to hold Lexus to a 2-2 draw away from home.

In this round, Rexos drawn, Guimaraes lost, and the three Portuguese Super League giants all won.

In the standings, Porto is at the top again with 45 points, Rexos is second with 44 points, Sporting Lisbon is close to Lexos with 38 points, Benfica is fourth with 36 points, Guimarães is sixth with 30 points, and it is Maritimo who catches up

In the 19th round, there were problems with the 4321 formation and the 442 formation, and in the 20th round, Oliveira continued to change formations against the Portuguese nationals.

Gao Xiaodong played a single forward, Robert and Oscar played a double striker, and the formation changed to a 4312 formation.

This is Gao Xiaodong's first time playing a single forward midfielder, before he was an assistant, in the back position, assisting Ziner, in the forward position, assisting López, and even when playing forward, he was an assistant to Robert, and he never had a time to be alone.

Facts have proved that it is by no means so easy to be in charge alone, and Gao Xiaodong, who is only a professional D-level at the age of 19, is still difficult to take on this big role for the time being.

The Portuguese Super League opponents are now familiar with Lexus, and inspired by the last game of Boavista, the Portuguese national team choked the lack of players who can play the ball in Lexus, stared at Gao Xiaodong, and attacked Lexos's two wings with heavy troops, so that Lexos's wings could not assist.

The Portuguese national's two moves were good and strong, and Lexus played the worst game of the season this time, losing 0:3 away.

It was not only Rexos who were in bad form in this round, Sporting Lisbon also lost to the weak team, Benfica was forced to draw by Braga, only Porto still won steadily, and Guimarães also stopped the bleeding and rebounded, beating Nawal 1-0.

After this round of matches, in the standings, Porto continues to lead with 48 points, 4 points ahead of the losing Lexos, Sporting Lisbon with 38 points, Benfica with 37 points or the fourth, and Guimaraes with 33 points and back to fifth place.

Poor league form left Lexus no longer in the cup competition, and in midweek, in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup, substitute Rexos were held to a 0-0 draw by Portuguese side Gillencent and were eliminated on penalties.

After these two games, Lexus and Gao Xiaodong were questioned by the media and fans.

Reporters and fans who actually don't like Lexus and Gao Xiaodong have been waiting too long, because Lexus has been winning, and they have no chance to talk, and now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Anna, a reporter from "Izvestia", bluntly said that the magic of Rexos and Gao Xiaodong has lost its power, they have been seen through by their opponents, and now it is difficult for them to win, and it will only be more difficult in the future, don't think about the Kaiserslautern miracle, and it will be to see if Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are able to keep their Champions League places.

Anna also commented on Gao Xiaodong's performance alone, thinking that Gao Xiaodong is not suitable for playing as a single front midfielder, he is still too young, and he must hone for a few seasons, and the front midfield needs not only impact, but also experience and wisdom.

Since Lexos became Porto's rival, Record has become less friendly to Lexos and Gao Xiaodong, with more criticism than praise.

This time, the "Record" expressed a similar opinion to the "Izvestia", believing that the magic of the first half of Lexus was because the opponent was not familiar with them, and in the second half, Lexus actually encountered the common problem of all the promoted dark horses, that is, they were seen through, the bench depth was not enough, and they could not make any new moves, and it was normal for the results to decline.

"The Competition" said that if Lexus wants to continue to compete for the championship, they must actively make changes, and in addition to replenishing blood, otherwise, they may be greeted by a plummeting decline.

Senior reporter Maia also commented on Lexus's change of formation, thinking that Gao Xiaodong is indeed unable to play a single forward formation, and Lexus might as well play 433 directly.

Even Matosinho's local media "Porto Norte Sport" said that it is time for Calus to invest, and if the winter break is not replenished, Rexos will not want to continue to compete with the top three in the Portuguese Super League for the Champions League place.

On the Internet, the fans of various clubs are sneering at Lexus and attacking it in groups, and the fans of Lexus are not united now, some support Lexus's change of formation, some criticize Lexus's change of formation, some support Gao Xiaodong to play a single front midfield, and some think that Gao Xiaodong playing a single front is a disaster.

The disunited Lexos fans certainly can't stand up to the joint siege of fans from other clubs, and on the forum, Lexos fans have almost become a vulnerable group that is ridiculed by the group.

With three league games without a win, a cup elimination, media criticism, and fan doubts, Lexos finally felt a chill of winter as the winter break was about to pass.

The bad situation of Lexus is an opportunity for Yang Fan, previously, Gao Xiaodong recommended Yang Fan to head coach Oliveira through Mendes, but at that time the situation of Lexus was not as bad as it is now, Oliveira was unwilling to introduce a newcomer from China with similar characteristics to Gao Xiaodong and no immediate combat power.

After all, it's just a loan, and it's not a youth player like Angulo who belongs to him, and there is not much benefit in cultivating it, and no instant combat power is equivalent to waste.

However, after Lopez and Brandi were injured, Oliveira thought of a bad situation, what if Gao Xiaodong was injured?

Of course, this substitute can't be found casually, it has to be able to integrate into the team quickly.

The Chinese player Yang Fan recommended by Mendes is a friend of Gao Xiaodong, and Oliveira can guess with his heel that this is what Gao Xiaodong means, but he has taken the path of a curve.

However, if it is used as a substitute, because Yang Fan and Gao Xiaodong are compatriots, it is not a problem to integrate.

After much thought, Oliveira finally made the decision to lease Yang Fan.

On the last day of the winter break, Rexos and Benfica reached an agreement to send their reserve team player, Huaguo striker Yang Fan, on a season-long loan to Rexos. (To be continued.) )
