It's an important match about who will be promoted to the Portuguese Super League.
There are currently 9 rounds left in the league, Rio Ave has 42 points, 3 points more than Lexus, if Rio Ave beats Rio Ave, they can overwhelm their opponents by virtue of their mutual win-loss relationship, and at least improve one place; if Rio Ave beats Lexos away and GuimarΓ£es also wins, then Lexos' dream of overtaking this season is basically over.
The match was so important that all the media in Portugal mentioned it before the game, and some also predicted the start of both sides, analysing the comparison of the positions of the two sides and predicting the winner or loser.
"Izvestia" has been in the black high Xiaodong, and now not only the black high Xiaodong, but also Rexos and Oliveira are also black, before the game all kinds of not optimistic about Rexos, thinking that they this season is a copy of last season, Oliveira, who has led five teams to the Portuguese Super League, has exhausted his talents last season, and this season is probably not as good as last season.
Although the "Record" has no feelings for Lexus, but in line with the principle that they support the opposition of "Izvestia", they vigorously praised Gao Xiaodong and Oliveira, saying that Gao Xiaodong showed all-round talent, and it is right not to stay purely on the front line, he should be a free man, Oliveira has principles and knows how to be flexible, he dared to use Gao Xiaodong as a starter in the last game, dared to change the formation, and had excellent results, he is an excellent coach, and he should come to coach in the Portuguese Super League.
"Izvestia" said that "Record" didn't even want to lose face in order to praise Gao Xiaodong and Oliveira, and "Record" said that "Izvestia" had blindly ignored the facts for the sake of black Gao Xiaodong and Oliveira.
On the eve of the Portuguese league game, the two national media outlets once again argued and created a momentum, which also sparked a war of words between Lexus fans and Rio Ave fans, Gao Xiaodong fans and Robert fans online.
"Lexus will win!"
"I'm sorry, Rio Ave, who is unbeaten in 13 games, is now the leader!"
"Like who hasn't been a leader, who did Lexus beat in the first round?"
"We should have been in the Portuguese Super League last season!"
"It's a pity that last season it was Bellamar and Avis who qualified. β
"Rio Ave also wants to enter the Portuguese Super League, how old were you last season?"
"It's about the same as the third, it's not upgraded. β
"How old is Lexus now?"
"Gao Xiaodong's performance should start. β
"Gao Xiaodong can start, I don't eat for three days. β
"Gao Xiaodong can start, I don't have sex for a year. β
"Gao Xiaodong dared to start, and I admired Oliveira as a real man. β
"Gao Xiaodong at least has the ability to play half the court, right?"
'It's all about giving him 15 minutes because he has a good relationship with the coach and doesn't look at what kind of game it is. β
"Gao Xiaodong brings balance to Lexus, and he deserves more game time!"
"You can't discriminate against Chinese players!"
"Balance?
β¦β¦
In online and offline newspapers, reporters, fans on both sides, and fans of the main forces, you hack me, I hack you, you attack me, I attack you, it's a mess, but in reality, it's not much better.
Rio Ave is much more famous in Europe than Lexos because there is a famous person who has played for Rio Ave, and that is Jose Mourinho, who is known as the second of God.
In the summer of '81, Mourinho's father Frex became the coach of Rio Ave, and defender Mourinho also played for Rio Ave for two years, making 16 appearances and scoring 2 goals.
Rio Aver's manager, Petic, is a hot-tempered guy who is not as calm as Mourinho, but just as arrogant.
Before the game, Petic spoke very rudely that victory or defeat was in this move, and Rio Ave must solve the suspense of promotion in this round. Rio Ave is in good form and will surely win this game and predict a 2-0 score to avenge the first-leg home defeat.
The managers are so rampant, and the players are definitely more arrogant.
Rio Ave No.10 Victor has threatened to open the scoring at the March Stadium.
Rio Ave's No.9 striker Thomas will be hoping to score a hat-trick to complete the battle for revenge.
Rio Avey's captain, No.4 centre-back Evandro Evandro, said he would keep a clean sheet against Brandi, who had been on fire in the last two rounds.
Rio Ave certainly has the right to be arrogant, they are the leaders, and they are now unbeaten in 13 games with six straight wins, and there is still a lot of confidence against a rexos who have been in an up-and-down situation.
Although Lexus is playing at home, the opponent is in such good shape, and they deliberately keep a low profile.
Coach Oliveira said before the game: "Rio Ave is really strong, they are the best team in the Portuguese league at the moment, we are not sure of winning this game, but our advantage is at home, in March we have 25,000 fans in the stadium and it will make us play better. β
Captain Eavis rarely restrained his fiery temper and said that Lexus should put himself in the position of the weak to fight the opponent, no matter what the final result is, the man just has to do it, and he can't be cowardly.
Deputy Ziner said that against a team with strong attacking power like Rio Ave, defense is the key to winning, and he will fight until the last minute.
Striker Brandi says he won't necessarily score, but Rexos has to win.
Lopez, the core of the attack, said that the first goal is the key, and often the first team will win the final victory, and if the striker is looked dead by the opponent, he does not mind shooting a few more times.
Even Robert said that in this game, as strikers, they must cause the opposition defence the most problems so that they can help the back line share the pressure.
Lexos' players are not all low-key, and there is also a very high-profile person.
As the team's junior character, Gao Xiaodong is not qualified to speak, and he was banned from being interviewed by the coach, this war of words originally had nothing to do with him, but Gao Xiaodong has his own mouthpiece, that is, "Portuguese Chinese Daily".
Niu Yu, a reporter from "Portuguese Chinese Daily", went to Gao Xiaodong's house to interview Gao Xiaodong, and posted it on "Portuguese Chinese Daily".
Gao Xiaodong felt that this "Portuguese Chinese Daily" was only for the Chinese in Portugal a few years after its inception, and the Portuguese paid little attention to it. I felt that I should give the Chinese a little confidence and encouragement, so there was not much to hide in my speech.
"It's a big fight! I definitely want to play, and I probably will. β
"It's time to end Rio Ave's 13-game unbeaten streak and, of course, I don't mind being the finisher, although I'm very likely to play in midfield. β
"A team like Rio Ave is actually a paper tiger, and once it is in adversity, it may collapse, so we will be the first to ram their stuffy stick. β
β¦β¦
Although "Portuguese Chinese Daily" rarely pays attention to Portuguese fans, it is not nothing, and when "Portuguese Chinese Daily" sends out the interview article, the fans of Lexus see it, it is very cool, and it is immediately spread verbally and on the Internet.
As a result, the sales of "Portuguese Chinese Daily" skyrocketed, and it was difficult to find paper, and Gao Xiaodong's arrogant remarks also reached the ears of the Rio Ave people.
Rio Ave coach Petic naturally disdains to spray an 18-year-old who doesn't know if he will play, but the player can't bear it.
Rio Ave No. 10 Victor said: What qualifications does this Chinese kid have to criticize Rio Ave, does he have a chance to play?
Rio Ave's No. 9 striker Thomas said: "Pray to God to let this Chinese boy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the sky play, I want to abuse him and cry."
Rio Ave's captain No. 4 central defender Evandro also said unhappily: "Reyxos is also a club with a good background, how can anyone be recruited into the team, since you dare to brag, try it on Sunday, I hope he doesn't slap himself in the face." β
The day before the game, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was interviewed by Portugal's largest circulation newspaper, La Della Vene, and expressed his concern about the match between Rio Ave and Rexos, hoping that Rio Ave would win and be promoted to the Portuguese Premier League.
This is like adding fuel to the fire, the match between Rio Ave and Lexus is hot not to mention Portugal, and even fans in many European countries know it.
Gao Xiaodong was also stained with Mourinho, and his name was known to fans outside Portugal for the first time.
