Chapter 81: A Little Fame

After a big win in their last game, Boavista finally climbed to 10th place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The next opponent to face is Atlético Spino, founded in 1914 and a century-old club, located in the city of Spino, in the region of Aveiro. The club's volleyball team has won the domestic league 17 times and won the European Volleyball CEV Top Club Cup in the 2000-2001 season, making it the only Portuguese team to win the European Trophy and the Portuguese club with the most trophies. However, their football team has not been very good, and the senior team has been up and down in the Portuguese Ligue 1 and Portuguese 2 all year round. However, between 1975 and 1997, Atletico Ispino also played intermittently in the Portuguese top flight for 11 years.

This season, Atletico Spino's record can be described as very dismal, and they are currently only in 13th place in the central zone of the Portuguese second division. After 11 games, they have only won 3, drawn 2 and lost 6, and the number of goals is even more lackluster, only 9 - you know, Quilos alone has scored 10 goals in the league, and Chen Jianhao has also increased the number of league goals to 8 after brushing 4 goals in the last game. In the face of such a team with extremely weak offensive ability, Govia didn't even need to make targeted arrangements before the game, but only told all the players to concentrate and play at the level they deserved. He believes that this match is likely to be a more hearty victory than the previous one, and even if the opponent uses 120 per cent strength, it will be difficult to turn the situation around.

This was further confirmed by the result of the game, which saw little to no longer fight back and only scored a consolation goal before the break. Boavista was firmly in control of the tempo throughout the game, Chen Jianhao scored another hat-trick, and Quielos also scored two goals to win the match by an overwhelming 5-1 advantage.

Chen Jianhao's three goals were scored in three formats. The first was a long-range shot from 30 yards, followed by a 45-degree diagonal cross from Machado and a shot that broke through three people in succession. One is more freehand than the other, and one is easier than the other. The opponent was obviously unprepared for this game, especially for Chen Jianhao, a super shooter who was born out of nowhere, and he turned the world upside down by himself.

After this match, Chen Jianhao's fame increased again, and the attention of domestic fans was unprecedentedly high, with almost every sports-related forum discussing his two consecutive round of hat-tricks. Many clubs in Portugal have also begun to secretly investigate him, the first is the biggest club in the local - Porto, so Govia is actually mixed about Chen Jianhao's good performance, he is afraid that this high-potential goalscorer will be poached by competitors, fortunately, the team chairman has already taken the first step to get their signing, at least in the next few seasons, there should be no omissions.

It is said that the chairman of the team spent nearly 200,000 euros for Chen Jianhao alone to buy all the ownership from Baihui Company. This price is not expensive, and it is not cheap to say cheap. After all, before that, Chen Jianhao's performance was not too eye-catching, but he didn't expect to break out in the last two games, which made the project leader of Baihui Company a little suspicious that this was tricked, and the club deliberately kept a hand, and waited for the contract to be finalized before Chen Jianhao could play well. But in any case, they have no room for regret, they can only pray that there will be a more competitive one among the remaining players in order to earn him a good fortune.

Just three days later, Boavista travelled to the city of Pombilosa in the Aveiro region to face the Futebol Clube Pambilhosa, who are the top players in the central division of the Portuguese second division. It's a big game, and the Panthers, who are gradually getting into shape, are now on a three-game winning streak since their last win and sit in 8th place in the league. If they can take advantage of the momentum to win the top team, the team will have the first wave of the season.

Due to the continuous strong performance, the fame of Chen Jianhao and his party has gradually opened. In the recent games, except for Fang Jizhou, who has not shown too much eye-catching ability, several others have made great progress, and even Wu Tianchang's defensive quality is much more reliable than before, and the team's goals conceded have also been greatly reduced in the last few games. Chen's wide-ranging defence has earned the trust of many of his teammates, and his ability to act like a defensive commander at the back, coupled with his tireless running, has invisibly raised the defensive intensity to a notch. Under Wu Tianchang's scheduling, the choice of position is getting better and better, and it is unlikely that there will be devastating low-level mistakes.

Francis' recent outfit has been a bit of a dribble, with just one dribble in his last few games – the rebounding header against Atletico Pombal – but not a single impressive performance, let alone an assist. And in the last half month, he often slipped out in the middle of the night, and no one knew where he went. The first to find out was Wu Tianchang, because Fang Jizhou slept in the same double bed as him, as long as Fang Jizhou was together, the upper and lower bunks could be felt. However, Wu Tianchang didn't want to report his brother, so as not to be held accountable by the coach, and occasionally secretly asked about Fang Jizhou, but Fang Jizhou was not cooperative at all, often glaring at him a few times, saying that it was none of his business, and asked him not to mention this stubble. During the training, Fang Jizhou was obviously not as active as before, and his physical strength seemed to have stagnated, and he did not make much progress. Govia did find out about this, but he still thought that the training method was wrong, so Resendi arranged some changes. But in fact, the real reason is that Fang Jizhou has always sneaked out to meet his lover these days, and sometimes he doesn't have enough rest, which leads to a decline in his physical state.

Naturally, I didn't know this inside story, and Chen Jianhao, Chen Jinwu and Xiao Pan didn't notice it at all. Because they usually go to bed at about half past ten, sometimes they don't see Fang Jizhou when they get up, and they think that they go to school early in the morning, and they don't think about anything else at all. But all this has nothing to do with today's game, despite the double game a week, Govia still put all four Chinese players in the starting lineup, the striker replaced Queilos with Bailey, then Cardinha and Ray Dolores in midfield, the "double Paul" all rested, and the back line was Mario Loya, Leo Bonfim and Diogo Reit, replacing Sergio Machado, Heroo and Ribeiro.

In fact, the strength of this squad was not much worse than before, except for Bailey, who was obviously inferior to Queylos, and the difference in strength of the others was very weak. It's just that when Govia signed the players, he promised some people the number of starts, and he didn't let others start in regular time. But when it comes to training, everyone is together, so even if other people don't play much, there are no barriers to communication or tacit understanding.

However, the opponent of this game is, after all, Pombillosa, the first in the league, and the whole game was awkward. Leo Bonfim unexpectedly scored a corner to open the scoring. But it was soon overtaken by the other party. Chen Jianhao was still a little powerless, did not continue his previous good form, and only scored a missed goal. Francis, on the other hand, was terrible, sleepwalking through the pitch, and the second goal was a quick counter-attack after a steal from him. Chen Jinwu and Wu Tianchang's performances were decent, and they played the whole game, but they failed to control the opponent's offensive, and in the end the two sides barely played 2:2, each scoring 1 point.

To draw with the top team, Govia has achieved his goal. The opposition continued to lead the league, while Boavista dropped to 9th place, tangled with the middle and lower teams. However, in the next game against the Uniao Desportivada Serra, Chen Jianhao almost possessed God, scoring a surprising five goals to help the team beat the opponent with a score of 7:3, and the team also rose to fifth place in the league, only six points away from the top of the table.

The two teams put on a spectacular game, with a score of 7:3 that was enough to make all the fans boil. This match will be remembered for Chen Jianhao's extraordinary goalscoring performance. In the sixth minute, the opposition full-back almost gave Boavista a goal, and it looked like he was a little lost today. In the 19th minute, Boavista captain Quielos gave his team the lead, seizing the moment to score from close range. In the 21st minute, the opponent quickly equalized and scored with a lucky goal. Just six minutes later, a long-range shot from midfield over 30 metres helped the team overtake the score. Then in the 33rd minute, Chan Kim-ho equalised again when he fired a fierce shot from the edge of the box and experienced midfielder Paulo Gomez took the lead for the hosts in the 39th minute when he scored a goal from a tricky angle. In the 45th minute, Chen Jianhao once again extended the result, he broke through the opponent's goalkeeper's ten fingers with a powerful shot, and scored his second goal of the game.

By the end of the first half, the two sides had played 4:2, which was a terrifying goal show.

Neither side could achieve anything for a long time at the start of the second half, until the 65th minute when Chen Jianhao scored a hat-trick with a powerful shot from in front of the penalty area. Four minutes later, the opponent pulled a goal back with a corner kick, and his header made Wu Tianchang and Herio look very vulnerable. At the 76th minute, Chen Jianhao's shooting show began to enter the peak, he unbelievably just crossed the center circle and shot with his feet, an ultra-long-distance curling ball completely shattered the fighting spirit of the opponent's goalkeeper, and the goal of nearly 40 meters surprised both players, and even the stands broke out into cheers and applause for 5 minutes.

Then near the end of the game, Chen Jianhao completed the final blow after passing several people and scored the fifth goal of the game.
