On 13 October 2010, the fifth round of the Ligue 2 will be held. www.biquge.info It was a rainy day, and the temperature dropped to below 15 °C, which seemed to have entered winter ahead of schedule. Outside, a strong wind blew sharply, and the players couldn't help but shiver as they gathered in front of the club's gate.

Today's opponent is Gondomar SportClube, also in the Porto region, and the players have just eaten before taking the bus to the away stadium.

Founded in 1921 and located in the city of Gondomar Sports Club, Gondomar Sports Club is a regional club. Like the last rivals, the Power Club, the facilities are rudimentary, and their home stadium, the San Michael, can only accommodate 2,500 people. Even so, Gondomar FC has a much better record than Electrical, as they are regulars in the Ligue 1 and finished fifth in the 2006-2007 season. However, due to the team's poor financial situation, not even an official website was built, and the mayor of Gondomar (the former president of Boavista club) interfered with it, the club did not improve for a long time. Worst of all, the team was also relegated from the Portuguese league last season due to the "Golden Whistle" match-fixing scandal - so in some ways, Boavista and them have a feud.

Gondomal FC's youth facilities are terrible, and there are hardly any famous players. The only one who can do it is Petit, a former defensive midfielder of the Portuguese national team and now of Cologne, Germany, who used to play for Gondomar, and Moreira, a new signing who went to Dalian Albin this season, was also sent to Gondomal when he played for Boavista. The team currently sit fifth in the central zone of the Portuguese second division and are more favoured by the media than Boavista, who are 13th in the relegation zone. However, a very important reason why Boavista has played so poorly this season is that several new Chinese signings are still adapting, especially Chen Jianhao, who is generally optimistic about the coaching staff, has not played at the level he should have. If there is a slight recovery in form, there should still be a chance to win Gondomar.

In the pre-match set-up, Govia put in a 4-3-3 change. Although they often practice this formation when they train, the traditional 4-4-2 is the most commonly used in the game. Perhaps only Francis guessed what the manager meant, and he heard Govia put him in the striker position, and for a moment remembered their previous conversation. Although Govia asked him to drop back a little, similar to the role of a striker, he was glad that the manager had complied with him and let him try to return to the striker position. And in this way, Quilos and Chen Jianhao were not replaced, but only added a support to their rear.

Paulo Campos on the left flank brought back to his most familiar midfield position, and Paulo Gomez, the "double Paul", played as the central axis on the left and right. After nearly three months of training, Govia decided to try to become a single-handed, true defensive midfielder, a move that was in line with Silva's initial positioning.

The back line was the same as in the previous games, but Wu Tianchang was called an ultimatum by Govia alone before the game. Govia's request is that there is no tension or distraction in this game, otherwise he will have to stay on the cold bench to watch the next game.

However, the adjustment of this game is not only a change in formation. Govia knew that if this continued, Fang Jizhou would not be the only one who was dissatisfied with the current situation of the team and complained to him privately. He has to make some changes to the team, to change the negative mentality of the players by objectively changing the formation and changing to a more direct and aggressive style of play. So in this game, Govia's requirements are to control the midfield, dare to fight and dare to grab when defending, don't be afraid to give cards, and then play defensive counterattacks, and the faster of the three forwards, Francis, is given the right to switch positions freely, and if he wants to run left or right, according to his personal judgment, he does not have to be limited to the formation. The purpose of Govia's move is also to give Francis a chance, and since he wants to play as a striker, it is not impossible for him to try.

Soon after the start of the game, Gondomar's players were almost all pressed in the opposition half, seemingly intent on taking the lead. The rain fell on the players like silk. The rain didn't have any impact on the game, it was so small that it was almost invisible to the naked eye and could only be felt on the skin. However, the wind is strong and Boavista is on the upwind side, so if you don't have a lot of concentration when defending, it is easy for the opponent to pass the ball from a distance.

At this moment, the three players of the opposing team pulled to the right side to cooperate, and the ball was passed to the top of the penalty area in three or two strokes. Left wing-back Sergio Machado was quick to get in and the man pushed his foot and the ball rolled into the box, where the opposition striker, who had been waiting for an opportunity in the back, strode and volleyed the ball around the far post and into the top corner. Pedro Ferreira swooped the ball back in front of the penalty area before being picked up by the opposition left midfielder.

The opponent's left midfielder passed the ball to the receiving teammate in front of him, passed it several times in a row, and the ball ran around from the middle and right sides before returning to his feet. In the light rain, the opponent pressed unhurriedly in the Boavista half and began to organize the attack from the wing. The attacking and defensive players around were equal, and they were all three-on-three, and the opponent then tried to pass five or six balls, all of which were combined on the flanks and could not find space to enter the box. So the opponent's left midfielder simply knocked the ball back to the left wingback behind him, and then stretched out his hand to instruct: "Cross!" ”

This kick cross had no quality at all, and it fell directly on Wu Tianchang's head. Wu Tianchang wanted to directly top the ball to Chen Jinwu, who was in the back position, and jumped up hard, but he didn't reach the ball, and let the ball leak out of front of him. The opposing striker just symbolically stepped forward, had already given up, stood in the penalty area and did not move, but he didn't expect to get the ball unexpectedly, and he was pleasantly surprised, and he shot the ball out without even adjusting.

At the same time that Wu Tianchang let out an extremely annoyed "ah-", the opponent's striker actually knocked this close-range shot crooked! Wu Tianchang wiped the sweat on his face and sighed for a false alarm.

On the sidelines, Govia was furious at the ball and cursed: "Dinis? Damn it! This guy is the potential centre-back you are talking about? ”

Dinis Resendi stroked the beard on his face and said calmly, "I'm talking about the most potential in the team." Didn't you lose the ball? What are you anxious about? ”

"If you lose this ball, I promise to replace him immediately!"

"Hahaha, I know you won't do that." Resendi smiled confidently, then patted Xiao Pan, who was standing beside him, on the shoulder, and said, "You said yes, right?" ”

Xiao Pan also smiled and said, "I don't care about this." I will intervene in the affairs of Chen Jianhao and Chen Jinwu, and you have the final say on the other two. ”

"Ha......" Resendi suddenly stiffened his face, pointed to the stadium and shouted: "Look! Here's a chance! ”

Xiao Pan and Govia followed the same reputation, only to see that Chen Jianhao had already won the ball in the opponent's half, Queylos and Fang Jizhou respectively led two central defenders in front of him, leaving only one midfielder in front of him. Chen Jianhao did not covet the ball, seeing that the left wing-back Sergio Machado had rushed along the wing and directly raised the ball in front of the opponent, Machado easily won the ball and passed the ball diagonally into the small penalty area.

Queilos took a big step forward before the opposing central defender, and at this time, Govia on the sidelines couldn't help but shout: "There you have! ”

The goal went in. In the opening 15 minutes, veteran captain Quielos made a light push through the opposition goal, and Boavista took the lead.

Resendi took the opportunity to divert his denunciation of Wu Tianchang and said, "Hey Philip, it seems that your counterattack tactics have worked!" ”

"Not really!" Govia waved his arm.

Xiao Pan also said happily: "Your change of formation seems to have worked!" ”

It's been a long time since the team has scored first. The goal made everyone excited, and they gathered around Quilos to celebrate. Boavista temporarily leads Gondomal 1-0.

The game resumes. Perhaps dissatisfied with conceding the ball early, the opposing striker just sent the ball out and ran quickly down the left flank. Then, the players in the backfield understood what he meant, and passed forward with big feet, as if they wanted to hit Boavista by surprise, but before the ball landed, the referee's whistle sounded - offside!

For the next 20 minutes, Gondomar turned on the indiscriminate bombing mode, constantly attacking the opponent's penalty area at a rapid pace. Fortunately, the 18-year-old young goalkeeper Pedro Ferreira showed a super saving quality in this game, and tried to keep the goal in a one-on-one confrontation with the opposing striker on several occasions. However, Wu Tianchang's poor performance did not improve, although there were no fatal mistakes again, but it was often a speed disadvantage, and he was easily left behind by the opposing striker, so that Pedro Ferreira had to face a severe test, and the single knife seemed to be a highlight of this game. If it weren't for him, the goal would now be at least two goals behind.

However, the other central defender, Helio, did not perform very well, he couldn't even keep an eye on the enemy in front of him, and he was even more powerless to help Wu Tianchang defend. In the previous few single knives, it was because he didn't get stuck in a good position that the opponent's double strikers were easily connected and hit the ball behind him several times, which caused Wu Tianchang's speed weakness to be magnified to the extreme. The other party tried and failed, so he naturally grasped this point more accurately, and repeatedly attacked Wu Tianchang.

Just this time, Wu Tianchang was finally entangled by the other party, causing a belly of fire, and when he saw the ball coming from the air, he rushed up violently, and without waiting for the ball to land, he put on a posture of vigorously breaking the siege. The opposing striker was taken aback by his recklessness, and hurriedly dodged away, so as not to be broken by Wu Tianchang's kick.

The ball made a loud noise, smashed out from under Wu Tianchang's feet, and flew towards the opponent's half.

"This clearance is domineering enough!" Resendi praised.
