Chapter 21: Race Day I

The matter of Postiga is not over, and a new round of matches is about to begin, because of some remarks from Postiga and his agent, which led to the fact that although the promoted Mario Ave is not a strong team, this game still receives more attention.

Without him, everyone focused on the young striker Wu Xiaomu. Everybody knows he's good, but now that the team has thrown away another player who is actually good for you, everyone wants to take a fresh look at this young player. You must know that Postiga is Portuguese, a frequent player of the national team, and a lucky star of the national team, no matter how much Reese himself emphasizes that Wu Xiaomu is a loyal fan of the team, it can't change the fact that he is a person of color, especially a yellow person, and he is not a Portuguese nationality. This is how strange the mind of man is, which had previously denounced Postiga, hated to strangle him, and now began to sympathize with this unfortunate fellow-man; The person who asked for Wu Xiaomu's life before also slowed down the pace of his support and began to wander. Wu Xiaomu needs to satisfy them with a better performance than before, and it can be said that he needs to prove himself again!

Back to the game, Rio Ave as a weak team, their intelligence lies in their self-knowledge, the whole team did not have excessive non-point thinking because of the unfavorable years of Sporting Lisbon, in the face of a strong away team on paper, it is not a shame to lower the profile of the home team, and some people will even think that maybe the away team will make a mistake because of the delay in opening the situation.

The two teams have already begun to enter, and the not luxurious Estadio Avi can be regarded as a burst, the fans' thoughts are simple, although the visitors are very strong, but they have not had a good time recently, and the fans secretly hope that the home team can win the upset. The atmosphere was very warm, cheering and cheering one after another, whether it was inside or outside the field, there were many people who paid attention.

"The players of the two teams lined up, aha, let's take a look, the yellow striker of Lisbon is a little expressionless, I can't see any nervousness, the game is about to start, I don't know how you are doing, young man, what we all know before is that this striker replaced Eder, who is not performing well for the time being, I hope he will not be useful......" A Portuguese commentator was talking eloquently, and there was a bit of racism in his remarks.

The beautiful commentary partner next to him hurriedly interjected at this time and said: "No matter what, he is really handsome, and his face fascinates me." The beautiful host scratched her head and gestured as she spoke, sat on the swivel chair and twisted her body back and forth, and did not forget to "accidentally" lean forward to reveal her white breasts.

"Audience friends, audience friends, if you just turned on the TV, then please lock this game, my country's player Wu Xiaomu has finally returned to the starting lineup in this game! Sporting Lisbon has been in a slump recently, and it seems that the manager is aware of the problem, and now, Wu Xiaomu's opportunity has come, let's hope that he will play well! A commentator in Huaxia said in a live broadcast.

Wu Xiaomu stood calmly on the court, no joy or sorrow, he couldn't see any excitement, and he had no reason to be excited. What kind of cat and dog is Rio Avi?

Wu Xiaomu's partner in this game is Lidson, a Portuguese-Brazilian, and Dellai was on the bench and did not fight alongside Wu Xiaomu as he expected, leaving him with some disappointment.

For head coach Paulo Bento, it was finally time to correct Wu Xiaomu, but he paid the "price" of taking Postiga, how good it would be if Postiga recognized the reality well, Bento was also thinking about it in the past two days, if it is a combination of Posti Machine and Wu Xiaomu, then it is called perfect. Fortunately, looking at the forward line of Sporting Lisbon, Lidsen can also be used, he has just turned 31 years old, and his body has not seen much decline, and he can also help the hairy boy Wu Xiaomu very well in terms of experience. In addition to what happened in the Postiga incident, Bento also smelled a hint of conspiracy, as the head coach, he also needs to knock the whole team, otherwise the team will be difficult to discipline in the future. So after thinking about it, he decided to let Lidsen be Wu Xiaomu's partner in this game.

Due to the adjustment of the frontcourt, Sporting Lisbon's attack was much more fluid, and nearly 20 minutes into the game, Wu Xiaomu and Lidsen each got a good chance, but unfortunately it was not converted into a goal.

At the beginning of the first half 8 minutes, Moutinho got the ball in the middle to organize the attack, a bold straight attempt to penetrate the impermeable defense line of Rio Avi, Wu Xiaomu cleverly started to insert the right side of the Rio Avi defense line, Rio Avi formation adjustment is not slow, Wu Xiaomu holds the ball and cross-cuts to the middle, and makes a gesture on the line of the big penalty area to hit the goal, deceiving the opponent's defender! He wiped into the penalty area and forced the goal in the face of blocking, but unfortunately after continuous dribbling breakthroughs, the last step of the ball was slightly bigger, and Wu Xiaomu's shot shot was in the goalkeeper's arms. The result was that there was no goal, but Wu Xiaomu's performance still won the applause of the visiting fans. Fans in the bar are also discussing with each other:

"This kid is really good, I feel like he really has the shadow of Ronaldo!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Ronaldo is the best, no one can compare!"

"That's what I said, I know, I know, but it's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Well, after all, it's our own child, and he deserves to start."

"Where is this, no matter what, he is also a yellow man!"

"Hey dude, watch your words!"

"That's what I said, what's the matter with you?"

"Do you have to say it again!?"

……

The game continued, the balance on the pitch was still not broken, and for Sporting Lisbon, the only difference between this game and the previous games was that their own team finally took the initiative and controlled the game. Wu Xiaomu and Lidson's partnership looks very good, the two of them cooperate with each other more and more, and Lisbon's front court is alive!

"Wu is dribbling the ball, he is passing one, he is accelerating, Ao! He's so fast! He was running towards the nest of Rio Avi, a group of shrunken turtles, and someone in front of him intercepted him, past him, past him! Oops, he passed, Lidson got the ball, okay! It's up to you Lidson, make sure to kill Rio Ave! "Wow~, Wu is so handsome with the ball!" A vase reappeared.

The pro-Lisbon TV commentator is in the studio, and the beauty vase occasionally pops out a few words, bobbing her body with each sentence to show off her best strengths.

At the end of the first half, Rio Ave's players were very happy, because their team did not concede a goal, although they were very passive in their home stadium, but the players did not feel ashamed, "Sporting Lisbon is a strong team, we can't be wrong, we still have a chance!" ”

Lisbon himself was not unduly disappointed, just slightly nervous. Compared with the grievances of the previous games, this game firmly occupied the initiative, but after all, it only blossomed and did not bear fruit, and half of the game passed, in case of a sudden change in the half, the room for maneuver will be very small.

The players on both sides walked back to the dressing room with different moods, and the time came for the manager to show his talents.

In the home team's dressing room, the head coach is motivating his disciples: "You did a good job, you didn't let them score, in the second half we continued to defend, based on the defense to play those bitch counterattacks, the wide players can make a proper burst ......"

In the away dressing room, Bento was disappointed that he couldn't take the lead, but it was much better than before, everything was going in a good direction, he knew that what his disciples needed now was encouragement, tactics were important, morale was more important, and he always thought that there was nothing wrong with the tactical arrangement itself: "Guys, you guys did a good job in the first half, although you didn't score, but I think it's a rare good scene in these games!" We controlled the tempo of the game, we had a lot of dangerous shots, and now we just need a breakthrough...... Everyone, don't be anxious, there are still 45 minutes waiting for us to rewrite the score, relax, I am sure you can do it! ”

……

Rio Ave was unfortunate enough to last 80 minutes before being beaten by a set-piece from Sporting Lisbon.

Wu Xiaomu's credit for this is to create this free kick and complete an assist. In the final 15 minutes of the game, the whole team of Sporting Lisbon was still gnawing on this turtle-like opponent's goal, perhaps it was a long period of continuous impact, which made the whole team of Sporting Lisbon lack of physical fitness in a short period of time, Rio Ave seized a rare opportunity to launch an attack, and the ball successfully crossed the midfield of Sporting Lisbon.

"The visitors are still besieging the home team, this scene has lasted for more than 70 minutes, Rio Ave is very passive on the field, fortunately they didn't concede a goal, to be honest, Rio Ave players are too unmotivated, you guys are attacking! This game makes you want to sleep......"

"Sporting Lisbon is still attacking with the ball, looking for a chance to hell, Wu Xiaomu ......, he passed the ball to Roma Gnoli, Roma Gnoli ran out of the gap, the ball on the side! What a pity! …… Wu Xiaomu ran really fast! He quickly moved into the box and drew the attention of the defence, and it was clear that Lidsen couldn't keep up with his fitness and he didn't run in place, wasting the efforts of his team-mates. Rio Ave clears the ball with a big foot...... Oh! The ball went straight to the front and the ball was picked up by Evandro! 17-year-old Aripio is running behind him! ”

"Rio Ave's chance! Lisbon backfield is in space! Only Tonel and Polgar, they are fighting and retreating! Evandro gave the ball to Aripio in front of the set, oh my! Sporting Lisbon hasn't returned to the defense yet, only Wu Xiaomu is desperately chasing back from the front, what is a professional player? That's what a professional player is! Aripio slowed down with the ball, he was stuck by Polgar, tried to get out, and without his teammates to pick up, it seemed that he had to break through! ”

"The offense is over! Wu Xiaomu successfully returned to the defense, Aripio was distracted, the ball was broken by Polgar, the ball was controlled at Wu Xiaomu's feet, Evandro desperately came to interfere, but failed! He's been resisted! Wu Xiaomu passes, Moutinho gets the ball, divides the ball! Ah! Roman Gnoli ran into the pile! Passing back to Roshenbach, Roshenbach passed the ball to Wu Xiaomu, oh God! This young man can really run! ”

"Wu Xiaomu dribbles! He passed one, continued to dribble the ball, and passed another! The ball is like being glued to his feet, a terrible ball feeling! The ball has advanced to the 35-meter area in front of the field, Rio Avy has to pay attention! Oh, fouled!! Wu Xiaomu was tripped and fell, 30 meters in front, a set-piece with a good position! God, bless us in the score! ”

The human wall rubbed for a long time, Moutinho stood in front of the ball, the ball was punished by him, the Lisbon midfield commander has a very good footwork, I saw him slowly retreat, after the referee's whistle sounded, three steps and two steps up to draw the ball, but this is just a false shake, this kick gives people the illusion of going directly to the goal, but the ball is just hoisted into the penalty area, Wu Xiaomu appeared on the landing point of the ball, he jumped back of his head and rubbed the football, Lidson header! This time the ball is in! Half a day's hard work by the Lisbon themselves was not in vain! Lidsen excitedly ran to Wu Xiaomu to thank him for his assist, and the whole team of Sporting Lisbon was excited, they scored!!

Moutinho was named Man of the Match after the game, displaying wide vision in midfield, accurate passing, and instigating a free-kick opportunity, while Wu Xiaomu and Liderson were joint second on the scoresheet. Sporting Lisbon also won the long-awaited victory with a small one-goal victory in this game, and everything seems to have returned to normal!
