In the first round of the second half, the Panthers played against Padroense Futebol Clube, also from Porto. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only this time it turned into an away game, heading to the city of Matosinhos, not far from Boavista.

It was previously known that the Padran Club, founded in 1922, was once the squad of the Northern Regional League, and its home stadium, the Padran Stadium, was owned by the club and could accommodate 3,000 people. This small venue is nothing compared to the Bessa Stadium. However, despite being promoted to the second division this year, Padran FC are firmly in eighth place after the first half.

Perhaps thanks to the club's excellent youth facilities and relatively complete echelon, they seem to have no shortage of manpower than other second division teams, and even have the spare time to rotate significantly. They also run a well-known local football school, which should be quite popular in the local area.

Boavista brought in Emorson, a national team player from Cape Verde, during the winter break, and because the team currently only has Chen Jinwu as a barely orthodox midfielder, Govia feared that if the young man was injured, there would be no one to replace him, so he won the 28-year-old midfielder who is in his playing years. And in this game, Govia also decided to let him start directly to see how he performed, so he temporarily let Chen Jinwu stay on the bench. Elsewhere, only left-back Mario Loya replaced Sergio Machado, who suffered a minor injury, and the rest were the regular line-up for the first half of the season, with no changes.

Speaking of which, Boavista can be considered a relatively lucky team. Except for a few injuries at the beginning of the season, the game has been smooth so far, without any major injuries. They are already unbeaten in six games, and if they can win this game, it will show that their excellent performance is not a flash of inspiration, but a real strength.

The game started very smoothly, and Chen Jianhao spent more time with football every day during this time, even more than usual, because the holiday was so boring, there was nowhere to go all day, and he didn't know what to do. So his form not only continued, but also surpassed it, just over 30 seconds into the game, he broke through two people and scored a goal in a flash.

In contrast, veteran Quilos seemed to be a little too emotional after a period of rest. About 9 minutes. An inexplicable front-court tackle gave him a red card, and he went off the pitch early. However, 10-on-11 could not limit Boavista's attack, and on 26 minutes, Chen Jianhao scored again, and a few minutes before half-time, even the goal-droughtled Francis scored the second league goal of his Portuguese second career in a goalmouth scuffle. The team entered the second half with a score of 3:0, so smoothly that Govia, Xiao Pan and Resendi and others on the sidelines danced. You know, it's an away game, and it's a case with one less player.

The only downside was the poor passing of the Boavista team, which gave the opposition a far lead in possession. But despite their limited number of crosses, they had a good grasp of where each cross landed and the strikers were able to take their chances. The Padron put in a considerable amount of force in midfield but did not make much of a difference, and the game was subtly one-sided in favour of the Panthers. However, after the start of the second half, the Padran people finally found the entry point of playing more and less after the adjustment of the head coach, and carried out a face-saving battle. The opponent once scored two goals to chase the score to 2:3, but Chen Jianhao was isolated in front and tired of defending in the backfield, so he didn't perform too well. Fortunately, there is not much time left, otherwise it is not impossible to be overturned. Boavista completed the double against Padrán this season, scoring six goals in two games, and if it weren't for being sent off in the second game, there would have been no room for the opposition to fight back.

Emerson was playing for the first time, but he played well, and if it weren't for his constant interceptions in midfield, I am afraid that the score would not have been so much more than that. In the second half, because he was a little physically exhausted, Govia replaced him with Chen Jinwu. Unfortunately, Chen Jinwu may not have warmed up enough, and he entered a fierce scramble as soon as he came on the court, which caused a great load on his body, and as a result, he was injured and went down after 10 minutes, and after the diagnosis of the team doctor, he was diagnosed with a leg ligament strain. When he returned to the club, he underwent a detailed examination by the team doctor and finally came to the conclusion that he would have to recuperate for about three weeks.

Queylos' tackle also earned him a three-match ban, but those setbacks couldn't stop Boavista from riding a winning streak. In the next round, they sniped Anadya 4:3 at home again, although the game was very thrilling, but it was also a revenge for the defeat in the first half. The most dramatic thing is that they held on to the result with less and more, and after taking a two-goal lead, Boavista fell into a cycle of cards from the second half. First of all, Paulo Campos was sent off for a deliberate handball in his own penalty area to block the opponent's goal, and was sent off with a red card, and another penalty was awarded. Immediately afterwards, Chen Jianhao faked a fall in the opponent's penalty area at about 60 minutes, received the second yellow card of the game, and then was ruthlessly driven to the bench by the referee to watch the game.

Since then, Boavista, who has played two fewer players, can only stick to the death. The score of 3:3 lasted until 85 minutes, but the opponent made a mistake in his busy and generously sent an own goal, which made Boavista break into the fourth place of the league with a one-goal advantage, and ushered in the first four consecutive wins of the season. Chen Jianhao scored two more goals, and the league goal has exceeded 20. After a period of vacation, Fang Jizhou seemed to suddenly open his mind, and also scored a goal in this game, scoring in two consecutive games.

But after this game, Bailey accumulated 5 yellow cards and was suspended for one game; Chen Jianhao was suspended for one game with a red card; Queilos is suspended for three games due to previous tackles, with two games remaining. In other words, in the next game, they only have one striker who can play. And Paulo Campos, one of the core of the midfield, was also banned for one game with a red card, plus the injured Chen Jinwu, many core starters could not play. Govia had to switch to a 4-1-4-1 formation, with the midfield dominated by dragging the back, and a draw would have served his goal.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. The opponent in the second round is precisely the league's No. 1 Dulitz Sports Group, the last time the starters were full of players, they still lost to them by one goal, and this time they had no power to fight back, and were defeated by the opponent 3:0, suffering the first wave of double kills, and the four-game winning streak was also terminated. Fang Jizhou immediately returned to his original form after losing Chen Jianhao's containment in the penalty area, and the normal game did not bring any threat to the opponent at all, and he could not even complete a good key position to get the ball, which shows that he is indeed not suitable for use as the team's first striker, and can only be supplemented with support on the wing, or retreat to increase the strength of the defense.

In the next game against the underdog Power Football Club, Chen Jianhao came back and scored two goals steadily. It's a pity that the team lacked Chen Jinwu's backcourt defense, which led to Wu Tianchang's weakness being magnified again, and he made mistakes again and again, and lost this seemingly win-winning game with a score of 2:4. After a dip in performance in the last game, Fang Jizhou did not play at a normal level in this round, and even missed the opportunity ball in front of him. With a four-game winning streak and two in a row, the team's consistency doesn't seem as reliable as it seems, perhaps because of the impact of banned players, or because of the excessive use of young players, which is inherently risky.

Boavista collapsed in front of his seemingly weak opponent, but due to Chen Jianhao's recent momentum, there were still 2,500 spectators in attendance, combined with the previous average attendance of only 2,000 people, the excess must have been brought by the red-haired teenager. But Chen Jianhao is not satisfied with this, he not only wants to score, but also wants to lead the team to promotion. Fortunately, the current No. 1 ranked Doriz Sports Group also lost to Gondomal in this round, and the points did not increase further, and the gap between them and them remained at 6 points. Pombillosa, who ranked second, and Celtan, who were third, also lost in this round. And fourth-placed Dondela, like them, suffered two consecutive league defeats, and several strong teams worked together to find a win during this period, giving Boavista a chance to breathe.

Govia is receptive to this result, after all, his goal before the game is to stabilize in the middle and upper reaches, and there is no idea of upgrading. But it's not so much that he doesn't have the idea of promotion, it's better that he understands the current situation of the team very well, and it is unrealistic to ask them to target promotion excessively, and it can be said that apart from Chen Jianhao, even his close friend Chen Jinwu does not think they can complete the promotion goal this season. Even if you are lucky enough to finish first in the league and make it to the play-offs, you will not necessarily be able to beat the champions of the South and North Divisions, as the strong teams in the Central Division are not as consistent as those in the South and North Divisions. For example, C.S. Marítimo, who are temporarily ranked first in the North Zone, have only lost two games after 20 rounds of the league, with 15 wins and three draws. The southern-ranked club Associacao Desportiva Do Carregado is not as strong but has won 12 games, more than the top three teams in the Central Zone.

Boavista is a rather odd team, with 10 wins and 8 losses, with only one draw. Their offense and defense are equally extreme, and with the help of Chen Jianhao, a super goalscorer, the team has topped the league with a total of 46 goals. But if they can't deal with the offense in a short period of time, they will never be able to achieve their goal of escalation.
