Chapter 54: The Red Card Battle

In the ninth round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon ushered in another away game, and their opponent in this round was the Portuguese Super League "Ugly Duckling" Navar.

The 04-05 season, that is, 111 years after the establishment of the Navarre club, they were promoted to the Portuguese Super League for the first time with the second place in the Portuguese league, and this season is the third year that Navarre has been based in the top league, and the previous two years can be described as "quite exciting" for this small club in the middle of the country, and they are fighting hard for the relegation at the last minute every year. Fortunately, although it has been in danger of being relegated year after year, it has always been unable to be downgraded.

Wu Xiaomu is suspended and cannot play, Postiga has also been delegated, and Yalo has not yet been eyed by Redknapp's Tottenham, so he can only be regarded as a substitute. Lisbon's forward partnership is Liderson and Delle, and against such a small team, the Portuguese giants seem to be able to laugh at the three points. As expected, the game started as the visitors Sporting Lisbon took the lead in the 15th minute through Lidsen's goal.

But Reese's recent slump was like a curse, and they ended up winning 1-0. The scoreline reflected a lot and against such a weak opponent, it was obviously a failure for Sporting Lisbon to score just one goal, even if it was away from home. As Portugal's giants, Lisbon is under much more pressure in the league than smaller teams.

There is a saying in China, called "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes", it seems that at some times it can also reflect the situation of some dick silk teams and giant teams, I have nothing, what are you afraid of? Even if they lose, the Dick Si team won't have much loss, isn't it normal to lose to the giants? But the reverse is different, if the big club is overturned, all kinds of doubts and criticisms will come like a tide.

The game was won thankfully, but it is an indisputable fact that Lisbon's attacking weakness is still an indisputable fact, and just looking at the result, people can't see how difficult it is for Lisbon to win this game. They were forced to fight with 9 men in less than 70 minutes! The away team received 2 red cards in one game!

Lisbon, who had dominated the pitch before, were always under the threat of Navarre's counter-attack, and the players were frustrated after repeated failed attacks. Dellai made a mistake and completed a red card and was directly ejected from the game by the referee in the ninth minute of the second half. By the 67th minute of normal play, Navarre played an effective offensive wave, and Canela was forced to choose a tactical foul, and two yellows turned into one red was also sent off.

From the 67th minute until the end of the game, Navarre, cheered on by the 11,000-strong home fans, unleashed wave after wave of attacking frenzy against the visitors. Lisbon's gates are like leaky and ruined temples that look like they are about to collapse on a rainy night.

Fortunately, the whole team worked together, put down the false hat of the giants, and had an offensive and defensive battle that lasted 20 minutes but was as long as a full two hours, and Lisbon finally held on to the victory!

There is no doubt that Wu Xiaomu likes to watch the game as a first-team player, although he is punished for watching the game as a first-team player, but the young Wu Xiaomu knows that all this is temporary, and the team is so difficult to win, isn't it just the lack of a him? Wu Xiaomu is quite confident.

Of course, he likes to be a first-team player because he is a star in the first team and if he is a star he is followed by the fans, but if you are in the youth team, even if you are famous, you will receive the most encouragement in the stands.

"Hey! Wu, good work, we all like you, keep up the good work, you are our Lisbon kid! He Wu Xiaomu heard these words many times when he was in the youth team, and it was good at first, but then he got tired of hearing it, "Put away your mercy, and choose to look up to me." That's what he really thinks.

Today, his idea came true, and Wu Xiaomu, who played four games for the first team and scored two goals and two assists, has clearly become a real star in the eyes of Lisbon supporters.

Because he doesn't have to play games, Wu Xiaomu wears a lot more casually, a long black cap, a loose T-shirt with weird patterns printed on it, blue ripped jeans and white sneakers are his outfit today. If you don't pay attention, you can really think of him as a rebellious teenager from some family. He sat in the visitors' stand. The outfit covered him for 15 minutes, and when Lidson scored in the 15th minute, most of the visiting supporters jumped up to cheer for the goal, Wu Xiaomu did not get up to celebrate. This displeased a strong man behind him.

"I said, little guy, we scored a goal, you know? Is your ass heavy? Do you need to help you cure it, uncle?! "Obviously he smelled of alcohol when he said this, otherwise who would care about a young fan who didn't celebrate? You're full, aren't you?!

After speaking, the strong man slapped the hat that blocked Wu Xiaomu's face, and when the strong man was about to continue to "educate ignorant children", Wu Xiaomu turned around, and the strong man saw Wu Xiaomu's face, and first he was puzzled, as if he was recalling where he had seen this young man, obviously alcohol had a certain impact on his judgment, and then he shouted, yes, he remembered! It's our players, it's the stars of our team! Right! Right! This is the Academy players we grew up with! "Whew! Oh my God, what did I do?! Wu! You're Wu! Really...... It's just great! Wu: I like you to play football very much, look at me, I'm really sorry just now! Sign me for it! ”

This strong man is about 30 years old, but he looks very respectful in front of 18-year-old Wu Xiaomu. Wu Xiaomu took the jersey handed over by the other party, spread his hand and said, "I don't have a pen!" "At this point, the fans who had already figured out the situation around the week also joined in." Wu! Wu! I have colored pens, sign with my pen! It is my pleasure! "Wu, your performance is really amazing! We've got your back! "Wu! ……”

signed the fans one by one, and these fans were also interested, and they all went back to their respective positions to continue watching the game, and did not bother Wu Xiaomu anymore. Wu Xiaomu was busy for a while just now, and his signing was a little soft, he was happy while rubbing his wrist, "Yes, that's why I'm working hard to be a first-team player, so many people love me, it's a good feeling!" Wu Xiaomu thought to himself.

When the game reached 70 minutes, Lisbon reached the most difficult moment, which made these away team supporters in the stands anxious, in case of carelessness this game will be forced to draw, or even overtaken is not impossible, "We are 2 people behind, the score is 1:0, I don't feel at ease when I think about it!" Some fans thought. At this time, they will remember that Wu Xiaomu is coming, this little player has brought them a lot of surprises, they all know that this is a future superstar with great potential, so people are looking forward to him, fans don't care how old you are, didn't Torres become the captain when he was a little older than Wu Xiaomu?

"Wu, if only you were there! Our offense is so bad! The strong man who was a little drunk before complimented Wu Xiaomu at the end of the game, "Fortunately, our defense is solid, and we didn't let the victory in our hands slip away from us, let's see, when the time comes, you attack in front, and the others do a good job of defense, what are we afraid of in Lisbon?" We are the best team in Portugal! The strong man was praising Wu Xiaomu in front of him around the corner, and from time to time he showed the fanaticism that Lisbon fans should have.

Wu Xiaomu smiled slightly, it was regarded as a response, he liked to listen to these words very much, but this strong man made him respond, and when the game was over, he left by himself.

The game is over, Wu Xiaomu also experienced the first round of his career ban and the experience of first-team players sitting in the stands, he saw the team's performance in the whole game, and he was more and more sure that he would be promising in the future. A phrase popped into his mind: "I'm watching the wind and rain from the terrace."
