Chapter 266: I'll Score the First Goal
On August 24, the first round of the Portuguese Super League finally kicked off. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Porto's opponent in the first round was promoted Rio Ave, who finished second in the Portuguese Liga.
In fact, for Porto, except for Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, as long as the form is not too bad, Porto loses a maximum of five games per season, and most of these five games are lost to Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.
However, the 50,000-capacity Dragon Stadium is still full, and the fans who come mainly want to see the performance of Gao Xiaodong, who snatched their championship last season, and the state of Porto, who has gone through several trials and turnovers.
Xiao Le, Monkey, and Chen Qiang came with the "Fat Fan Group" again, for Chinese fans, it doesn't matter about the loyalty to Lexus, Gao Xiaodong's return to Porto will only make them happier and more proud.
The first game of the new season is the return of Gao Xiaodong, and it is also the battle of the old captain Emmanuel hanging up his boots.
When the players from both sides walked out of the mixed channel, Rio Ave coach Petic hugged Gao Xiaodong and said loudly: "Old acquaintance, be merciful." ”
Gao Xiaodong smiled at Petic and didn't speak.
Walking out of the mixed channel, Gao Xiaodong immediately heard the overwhelming applause of the fans, mixed with the applause, and if you can distinguish it carefully, you can also hear his name.
This sound is much louder than the March Stadium, and the stadium is much grander, which has brought a great shock to Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong can't find a sense of belonging to this stadium for the time being.
Veteran captain Emmanuel sat on the bench, his body no longer allowed him to start, and the vice-captain Lucho exchanged the flag and badge with the opponent as the captain on the field.
After the pre-match ceremony, with the referee's whistle, the match between league runners-up Porto and promoted Mario Ave kicked off.
As a promoted horse, facing the league runner-up, in fact, Porto is stronger than the champion, Rio Ave started very cautiously and very conservatively, hoping to draw Porto and win the first point of the Portuguese Super League.
Porto's first game of the new season is being played on their own doorstep, and for them, the goal of winning is a bit low, and what they need is a big win, but because the two promoted horses last season have become big dark horses, Ferreira is also cautious in this game.
Today, Porto lined up a 433 formation, with Ritandro partnering as a central striker, and Gao Xiaodong and Rodriguez on either side.
In midfield, Meleleles played as a central midfielder, with Guarin and Lucho on either flank, with Sapruna, Alves, Rolando and Fucile, in the back four, and goalkeeper Helton.
After the opening, Porto mainly attacked on the left side, and the Uruguayan compatriots of Fusile and Rodriguez were more compatible with Gao Xiaodong and Sapuruna on the other side, and Rodriguez only liked to cooperate with Fusile.
Although Rodriguez plays a bit of a unique game, he is fast, fast, and sharp, and the average defender can't keep up with his changes of direction and feints, and he collapses with his speed.
It is a once-in-a-century thing that the promoted horse has become a big dark horse, Rio Ave is a rookie who has just been promoted from the Portuguese League to the Portuguese Super League, where can he withstand the impact of Rodriguez, he was tired after the opening, and after the full-back received a yellow card, the right side was completely penetrated.
In the 9th minute of the game, after Rodriguez and Fusile made a one-two, the left side singled out the full-back and successfully crossed the ball into the penalty area.
Lisandro in the middle and Gao Xiaodong on the right are the Golden Boot and Silver Boot last season, and Rio Ave's defenders keep a close eye on them, especially Gao Xiaodong, Rio Ave is too familiar with him, and the two are stuck with him.
Under the defense of Rio Ave, Lisandro and Gao Xiaodong did not grab the landing point, but in the face of the promoted horse, Porto's players assisted very strongly, right-back Sapuruna was inserted into the position of fullback, and the one-meter-ninety Sapuruna gave the ball to captain Lucho on the sideline, Lucho crossed to the front of the penalty area, and Meleles was followed by a long-range shot.
Meleles has a strong ability to shoot from a distance, and he is second only to Gao Xiaodong in Porto, where there are many strongmen in long-range shooting.
Although the angle of this volley was a bit positive, the goalkeeper of Rio Ave did not dare to take it, and hit the ball to the sideline with both fists.
At this moment, Porto has been overwhelmed, the ball hit the side and was grabbed by Sapuruna, this time Sapuruna saw Gao Xiaodong diagonally into the penalty area, he decisively gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong had already entered the penalty area when he was running without the ball, and the defenders did not dare to foul, so he could only desperately squeeze the position with Gao Xiaodong.
Seeing the fullback and Gao Xiaodong squeezing the position, Porto's fans were relieved, in Porto, it was Hulk who could match Gao Xiaodong Kaka, and Rio Ave's fullback was a circle smaller than Gao Xiaodong, and there was no way to compare.
Sure enough, if no one was next to Gao Xiaodong, he had to squeeze the left back who followed him to the ground, and in the face of the central defender who was hurriedly filling the position, he gently picked the ball up, ready to pick the top volley of the central defender.
The Rio Ave central defender was unwilling to be humiliated and reached out and dragged Gao Xiaodong.
In the penalty area, the crowd is dense, and the action of the shot swings a little more is easy to be tackled and intercepted, and after being dragged by the defender, the body pauses slightly, and the ball is easy to lose.
The players who can play the center guard are all strong men, and the power of pulling that is not small, Gao Xiaodong really can't ignore it, so Gao Xiaodong just lay down.
"Penalty Kick!"
"Fouled! fouled!"
The Porto fans in the stands roared, and the momentum was earth-shattering, as if Gao Xiaodong had been greatly wronged.
The fans of Rio Ave were very annoyed, specially, so strong, they couldn't help but be weak when they arrived in the penalty area, and they all started shouting: "Fake fall!
However, among the 50,000 fans, there are only three or four thousand Rio Ave fans, and their shouts are basically negligible.
The referee hesitated, but still decisively blew the foul, Gao Xiaodong is a little exaggerated, but just now this attack is relatively single, he can see it clearly, the central defender pulls people, and it is very hard, this is Porto's home field, no judgment.
Gao Xiaodong won a penalty, and now the question is, who will take the penalty.
It turned out that the first penalty taker in the Porto team was Lisandro, and then Lucho, but Gao Xiaodong was the top scorer, and this penalty was made by him, thinking about this rough and obscene Chinese, Lucho and Risandro hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to go to the penalty.
Gao Xiaodong is a cunning person, he made his own penalty, but he didn't want to give it to others, and when Lucho and Ritsandro hesitated, he had already strode towards the penalty spot.
The monkey on the field gave a thumbs up and said to Chen Qiang: "Mr. Chen, Xiao Dong has seized this opportunity, at least he can take half of the penalties in the future." ”
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "You underestimated Xiao Dong's shamelessness, and the first penalty taker in the future will definitely be his." ”
Xiao Le Gege said with a smile: "Mr. Chen still understands the fat man, and he will definitely rush to it in the future." ”
Seeing this scene, Porto President da Costa, who was sitting in his living room watching live TV, also smiled, he took a leisurely sip of red wine, and said to himself: "It's interesting, old rivers and lakes like Lisandro and Lucho can't suppress him." ”
Ferreira, who was standing on the sidelines, was also eye-catching, Lucho and Risandro were so jealous of Gao Xiaodong, and recently the Brazilian Gang and Gao Xiaodong have also been very close, and he felt that the factional dispute that had plagued Porto for several years could be resolved in the hands of this Chinese boy.
Standing in front of 11 yards, facing the jumping goalkeeper, Gao Xiaodong paused slightly when shooting, and after the goalkeeper saved early, he pushed in the opposite direction, easily scored the penalty, and then ran to the stands with his ears covered.
"Xiao Dong Gao! entered! high! entered! entered...... Porto's first goal of the new season!Gao's first goal for Porto!Nine minutes into the game, Porto led the ......"
"High!"
"High!"
"High!"
……
More than 40,000 Porto fans have been standing and waiting for this moment, and the moment the ball was scored, applause and shouts rang out like a mountain and a tsunami, and the entire Dragon Stadium turned into a sea of churning and roaring.
The bigger the pitch, the more powerful it is.
At this moment, Gao Xiaodong's blood boiled.
Leaving Porto for more than a year, he lacks a sense of belonging to this Portuguese Super League giant, even if he has played several games here, Gao Xiaodong has no feeling for the Dragon Stadium, but now, when more than 40,000 fans applaud him and cheer his name together, Gao Xiaodong suddenly has a sense of intimacy with this stadium.
