Chapter 300: Gradual seizure of power
Although Gao Xiaodong of the professional D level has scored a lot of goals, he can only be the main force in Porto and has nothing to do with the core, but after being promoted to the professional C level, Gao Xiaodong's goals have not improved, but his role in the team is becoming more and more important. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Gao Xiaodong scored twice against defending champion Rexos, but this goal was no longer a long-range shot from outside the box, but a goal that broke through the opponent's defense.
Then the league played Aladoma, Porto won 4:0, Gao Xiaodong did not score a goal, but had two assists, and the other two goals were also related to him.
In the third round of the Portuguese Cup, Porto played against Stani of the Portuguese Second Division, Ferreira put Lucho on the bench and let Gao Xiaodong bring a group of substitutes to the game, and finally Porto swept Stani by 5 goals.
In the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, Ferreira replaced Lucho in the 60th minute of the second half and continued to experiment with Gao Xiaodong's single forward formation, which caused Lucho to be very dissatisfied, and he fell back to the locker room on the spot, and finally Porto eliminated Sporting Lisbon 2:1.
Especially in the away game against Dynamo Kyiv, in the icy Novsky Stadium, and in the 2:2 draw with the Ukrainian team in Porto, Gao Xiaodong did not score a goal and only had one assist, but was selected as the best of the game by ESPN, and the core meaning has become stronger and stronger.
Gao Xiaodong has gained more and more possession of the ball in Porto, and his range of activities in the front field has also increased, and captain Lucho has been completely squeezed to the right side and has become a complete right midfielder.
Lucho is very angry, of course not angry, before Gao Xiaodong came, he was wearing the No. 8 jersey, playing the No. 10 position, and scoring like the No. 9 core, even if Quaresma is there, even if Anderson is there, although these talents are more dazzling than Lucho and have more fans, they have not robbed him of his core position.
But Gao Xiaodong snatched the core of Lucho and became the all-round core who organized and assisted like No. 10, defended like No. 8 midfielder, and scored goals like No. 9 striker.
During the summer transfer, Paris Saint-Gerle and Marseille both wanted Lucho, but Porto offered 20 million, and the French team felt that the price was too high, so they did not negotiate in the end, and Lucho did not have the idea of going at that time, otherwise he only had to put pressure on Porto and settle two or three million euros, maybe the deal would be negotiated.
Now, Lucho feels that he has come to the time when he has to go, he can't see the Chinese short man in front of him, and the Portuguese league has too little influence in Argentina, he won the championship as the core, but he was not favored by the national team, and if he lost the core position, it is even more impossible to be selected for the talented Argentine national team, although Lucho is 27 years old, he also hopes to be selected for the national team of his idol Maradona again.
Lucho wants to go, Porto also has the intention of selling Lucho and breaking up the Anan Gang, but Gao Xiaodong has only gone through a Champions League test as the core, and the head coach Ferreira is not too relieved, after all, he is a young man, his performance is not stable enough, it is normal to have a good game and a bad game, in case he does not play well and let Lu Qiao go, the following games will not be easy to do.
Ferreira wants to test Gao Xiaodong with more Champions League games, and it is clear that the fifth round of the Champions League away to Fenerbahce is the best test game.
In the first 4 rounds, Porto won two games and drew one loss in four games, accumulating 7 points and ranking second in the group, Arsenal got 8 points in four games and two draws, ranking first in the group, Dynamo Kyiv and Fenerbahce accumulated 2 points in four games, ranked third and fourth, and the current four teams have a chance to qualify, but Arsenal and Porto are in the best situation, as long as they do not lose in this round, they can qualify from Group G at the same time.
Fenerbahce's hellish stadium Salaq Glou must be very difficult to play, the 2-5 loss to Arsenal at home is just an accident, and it is by no means that any team can go wild there, if Gao Xiaodong can take Porto to get out of there, Ferreira can send Lucho to Ligue 1 with confidence.
……
Compared to Porto, who are only half a step away from qualifying from the group, Fenerbahce in the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League is now in dire straits.
Fenerbahce brought in the wise man Aragonés, who brought Spain to the championship, bought back the talented midfielder Emre, and also included Robert Carlos, Alex, Davide, Lugano and six Turkish internationals, but their results can only be described as miserable.
In the league, Fenerbahce has 6 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws, accumulating 20 points and ranking fifth.
In the Champions League, Fenerbahce won two points in four games, two losses and two draws, and the devil was swept by Arsenal's boy scouts by five goals at home, and only a theoretical possibility is left to qualify from the group.
This made the wise Aragonés sit like he was sitting in the crater of a volcano, tormenting every day.
The Champions League match against Porto at home can be said to be Aragonés' last chance to prove himself, and if he still can't win this game, Aragonés' position will basically be over.
Aragonés, who was able to abandon Prince Raul, was clearly not a cowardly old man, he had always been tough, and at the moment of life and death, he used the mouth of the media to issue a call to the fans and players to fight, "We are not eliminated yet! We still have hope! As long as we win the last two games! Before that, Arsenal and Porto had beaten us nine times, and I don't want to see that happen again." Now is our best chance for revenge, this time let's be ruthless with them, let's be ruthless! Come on, boys! Let's start with Porto!"
The old man's "very violent" battle declaration inspired Fenerbahce's players and fans.
Fenerbahçe's players have taken to Twitter to make a statement that they will fight to the death at the Salakglu Stadium and Porto.
Striker Semih said: "I'm sure my family will come to see the game, Porto are very strong and experienced, but they have never experienced such an atmosphere. ”
Famous football star Robert. Carlos believes that Fenerbahce has a psychological advantage in this match, "Now we only have the only way to win, which will make us play more resolutely, and the opponent will probably be conservative, I think that is our advantage. ”
"The atmosphere at home will allow us to play more and we will definitely win this game," said Alex. ”
Kazim, who had to make a bet with Gao Xiaodong last time about who would lose the game, knelt down and shouted that I have no eggs, broke his promise last time and ran away in a gloomy manner, this time he seemed to have forgotten what he had said, and spoke again: "Those bastards in Porto will be here to scare their pants, last time they got in 4 of us, and this time we will get in 4 of them." ”
Fenerbahçe does not have the number 12 shirt in the team to indicate that the fans are the "best 12" of the team, and at this time, Fenerbahçe's fans are also actively responding on the Internet, provoking and intimidating the Porto-people:
"Welcome to Hell!"
"This is Kadikoy (Fenerbahce is located) and there is no way to escape!"
"You will be burned to death in hell. ”
In the face of Fenerbahce's provocation, Porto coach Ferreira did not let the players respond and forbade them to give interviews to avoid irritating the Turkish fans, because no one knows what the crazy people will do.
