Chapter 150:-for-tat (No. 1870)
In the week leading up to the game, Lexos trained in a closed environment, not allowing reporters to interview or allow fans to watch, as did media close to the club's players such as Porto Norte Sport and Porto de Portugal, as well as die-hard fan organizations such as the Red Mafia, much to the displeasure of journalists and Lexos fans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Porto North Sport" sarcastically said: "It seems that Coach Oliveira really wants to be an upset, even closed training, I don't believe it, closed training will make the fans more powerful, or can they come up with some awesome tactical play? ”
With the relationship between "Portuguese Chinese Daily" and Gao Xiaodong, now the sales and influence are getting bigger and bigger, and they are also dissatisfied with this situation, but they do not have the confidence and courage of "North Porto Sports Newspaper", so they can only euphemistically express their grievances, "If Lexus really wants to make a difference, it should not be completely closed, train in a closed space in the morning, open in the afternoon, and can't let the fans be kept in the dark, there are still a few days before the game, there is no news at all, so how can fans who take watching football as their main leisure way survive." ”
"The Race" special report Porto reporter Maia ridiculed Lexus for his closed training, saying: "In order to deal with Benfica's closed training, hahaha, it's like asking for a meal and worrying that the millionaire will rob him of his two euros and find a wooden stick to defend himself, but if Lexus really has a cold, it is estimated that the entire Porto people will applaud them." ”
The training does not allow its die-hard fans to watch, much to the displeasure of the fans of the red mafia.
Alexander, the leader of the red mafia, said in an interview with Porto North Sport: "The team has been training behind closed doors for so long, he can't accept it, the fans can't accept it, if the team wins, he personally apologizes and sponsors the team for 20,000 euros, if the team draws, he sponsors 10,000 euros, if the team loses in closed training, I will refuse to go to the stadium, of course, as a fourth-generation Lexus fan, I have already bought a season package." ”
Alexander's words speak for the fans, and on the Portuguese forum, the Lexos fans were full of voices against Oliveira's approach, which has never been seen since Oliveira took charge of Rexus.
For this reason, the president of the club, Calus, could not sit still again, he went to Oliveira again, and said: "Although I know that you must have your own reasons, the fans and the media are in a hurry, after all, this is our first Portuguese Super League game, or will it be open for a day?"
Oliveira shook his head and said: "The memory of the fans is no more than a day, don't look at the opposition now, if we play the game well, they will immediately forget everything they say now and immediately go to the stadium to watch the game." And even if we open for a day or two, if the game doesn't play well, there will still be people scolding us when we look back. ”
Calus said worriedly: "The key is, can we play well? That's Benfica." ”
Oliveira said: "Do your best, no one knows the result, the football is round." ”
"Well, I believe in you. ”
The conversation between Calus and Oliveira almost all ended with something like this, which made Oliveira very moved, and there was a feeling of meeting a confidant, no matter how good a coach is, he needs a chairman who appreciates and trusts him, otherwise he will not be able to show his talent, there is no doubt that Calus is a chairman who appreciates and trusts Oliveira.
Hope, hope, hope
The first round of the 0708 Portuguese Super League season has finally kicked off.
In the opening game, Sporting Lisbon, the worst of the three giants, defeated the fourth-to-last University of Coimbra team in the Portuguese Super League last season 4:1, without the discomfort of the opening game, showing the transcendent strength of the giants in the Portuguese Super League and the ability to fight in all directions.
Then Porto beat Guimaraes 2:0 at home, and once again announced to the other teams in the Portuguese Super League, don't have other ideas, the top three are not what you can hope for, find a boss to cover, maybe you can still mix in the Portuguese Super League, otherwise, you may be kicked out of the Portuguese Super League next season.
With the precedent of Sporting Lisbon and Porto, Lexus who played the next day was even more downset, if the fans on the Internet were still funny, saying that Lexus had been training behind closed for a week, maybe they could be upset, and now they are beginning to predict how many goals Lexus will lose.
In order to allow fans to watch the game better, the match between Rexos and Benfica was scheduled for 7 o'clock in the evening.
However, Benfica apparently didn't take Rexos to heart, arriving in Matosinho only three hours before the game, and when they came to the March Stadium to get used to the venue, they warmed up casually, passed the ball, and then returned to the hotel.
The opponent is too weak, and the capacity of the stadium is also very small, only 25,000 seats, so compared with the original Benfica away game, tens of thousands of fans to help, this time Benfica fans are also pitiful, less than 3,000 people.
In the pre-match press conference, Benfica coach Alexis Sanchez said: "This is the first game of the new season, we are very happy, we have met a brand new opponent, they are Rexos who are promoted to the Portuguese Super League for the first time, oh, actually, it can't be considered a new opponent, the Portuguese Cup in the 0506 season, in this stadium we beat Rexos 2-1 to reach the fifth round, this time I hope we can have the same good luck and get off to a good start to the new season......"
Sanchez said something to the effect that beating Rexos is just a routine, and our important task is to fight for the league title, to play well in the Champions League game against Copenhagen in midweek, in short, not to take Rexos to heart.
Previously, Lexus has been humble and low-key, this time Sanchez thought that Lexos head coach Oliveira would show weakness, I heard that they trained behind closed doors, maybe the opponent has a conspiracy and wants to make a big news, but Sanchez believes that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will fall apart.
But this time Oliveira was unusual, not only did not show weakness, but was aggressive.
"Thank you to coach Alexis Sanchez for reminiscing about the past, it's true that two years ago we lost 2-1 to Benfica here and stopped in the Portuguese Cup, but eight years ago we had 0: 0 draw with Benfica, and eliminated Benfica through penalties, reached the quarterfinals of the Portuguese Cup, this time we want to hope to be able to repeat the miracle of the year, of course, miracles need luck, with the support of more than 20,000 Rexos fans in the stadium, I believe that good luck will be on our side, and remind you that Rexus is not a newcomer, we are already a hundred years old, only 3 years younger than Benfica. ”
Benfica coach Sanchez was taken aback, this is not at all like the Oliveira in front, now this Oliveira in a black suit and a thin face is completely like an unsheathed sword, sharp, and seems to be ready for a duel, which makes Sanchez faintly have a bad feeling, he feels that he is afraid that he is a little careless, and Rexos will not surrender easily.
It turned out that the team was very low-key, the opponent was very high-profile, and Lexus fans have been very aggrieved, and today's head coach Oliveira's speech was very domineering,-for-tat, and did not show weakness at all, which made Lexus fans excited, on the Internet, Oliveira's words were preached everywhere, "Good luck is with me, we are going to repeat the miracle of eight years ago." ”
Alexander, the leader of the Red Mafia, who had been sitting in the stands two hours early, saw the news of the interview on the big screen, and he waved his arms excitedly and shouted at the fans: "Yes! That's Lexos, we're the hardest rock on the coast." ”
Before the players arrived, the stadium was almost full, and many fans chanted after Alexander: We are the hardest rock. (To be continued.) )
