Chapter 170: Temporary Substitution

After the last game, the Portuguese league entered a 20-day winter break. Pen ~ fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info Boavista did not make any transfer operations as usual during the winter break due to the lack of sufficient reinforcement funds. Since the start of the new year, the Panthers have become more and more consistent, and many of their opponents have forgotten that they have only been promoted from the second division for the first season. In this way, the season has unconsciously and calmly transitioned into the second half of the season, and they will next face Atlético Covilha, who are second in the Portuguese league.

With two games to play this week, the next one is their long-awaited sixth round of the Portuguese Cup – with Boavista taking on Portuguese giants Porto – so Chen Jianhao was put on the bench for this game, and Govia wants him to stay on for the next opponent.

On January 7, 2012, the Covilha Stadium was crowded with people, most of whom were not Atletico Covilha fans, but Boavista fans who had come from afar. Today, the 12 rounds of matches of the 2011-2012 Portuguese Serie A season will be played here, with visitors Boavista and home team Atletico Covilha.

Today is a special day, very special. For Boavista fans, this is definitely the most important day of the year, as it is the first league game after the winter break, the New Year.

Long before the game began, a large number of reporters flocked to the small stadium, and they could have a premonition of what was going to happen here. They believe that a team like Atlético Covilha will not be able to stop Boavista, who have climbed to third place despite being second in the league and who have climbed to third place thanks to their strong performances, and the journalists believe that they will definitely dominate the city today.

Before the start of the match, the commentator of the Porto sports station came to the commentary hall of the Municipal Stadium of Atlético Covilha, knowing what was going to happen here today. Porto Sport also sent its biggest team of the year to the Municipal Stadium of Atroletico Covilha, and everything that says something different today.

In the dressing room, Govia was giving a serious lecture to his players, while Boavista's players stared solemnly at their manager.

Many of the players here are young players, they have not felt the glory of Boavista in the past, and now this has won the second division championship, although it is just an ordinary league, but this honor really belongs to them, this is what they have fought with their own strength, can they not be proud and not solemn? This is their first honor, and they will not let a share slip through their hands.

And the old captain of Queylos, they don't seem to be bad for honor. When he played in the Portuguese Super League, he won the league championship and even the Portuguese Super League championship, and they should not have any feelings about the previous second division championship. However, this is not the case, and veterans like Quilos also value today's game, because only by returning to the first division in this capacity can they feel worthy of the shirt they wear.

For the rest of the players, it's definitely an exciting time to be able to move up this year. Champions, promotions, that's definitely the best thing to stimulate their young and vigorous lads. This is their dream, a dream since childhood, originally he thought that he would not have a chance in this life. But now, it's all in front of you, within reach. He must catch, must be!

"I think everyone already knows what day it is, and I won't stress too much about how to play, because we have practiced many times in training!" Govia said very seriously, "We shouldn't be happy to be in the situation we have today. Because it makes sense that your stage does not belong here, but above. It's just a springboard, and I don't want you to put too much thought into it. But today you have to win! Of course, our top priority is still the next game, you know. ”

"Got it!!" Boavista's team roared with a sense of puff.

"Alright, let's get out!" With a wave of Govia's hand, Boavista's players rushed out.

On the other side, the Atletico Covilha players and the manager didn't have any words, they knew what day it was. It's really hard to be a supporting role, who wants to be a supporting role? Therefore, the head coach of Atletico Covilha knows that there is a big gap between his team and Boavista. Moreover, his club and Boavista used to be partners, but he still did not want to tie his hands and die with dignity even if he died.

Amid the enthusiastic shouts of nearly 4,000 fans, the players of both sides finally walked out with the pace of the referee, which meant that the game was about to officially begin.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone, this is Porto Sport, today we bring you a match of the 12th round of the 2011-2012 Portuguese Serie A. The two sides are Atletico Covilha and Boavista from our local Porto side! The Porto Sporting commentator shouted wildly, and although it wasn't his first game against Boavista, it was the most exciting for him. He thought in his heart that after this season, they finally had a chance to get out of this quagmire!

"Today is a special day, it's the first race after the New Year. If we can keep up this at the end of the season, we will definitely be back in the Portuguese Super League. Even back to the Portuguese Super League in advance, the Portuguese Super League!! The commentator of the Porto sports station roared wildly, he was excited, very excited, "We belong to the Portuguese Super League, only the Portuguese Super League is our stage, let's get high, get high to the Portuguese Super League...... I'm sure we're going to beat our opponents in this match, there's no doubt about it! ”

Chen Jianhao listened to the shouts and singing of the fans, and he was very excited. Even sitting on the bench, Chen Jianhao was inexplicably excited. Sitting on the bench, Chen Jianhao could feel his body trembling, trembling constantly.

Boavista is like this today, the goalkeeper is still the thunderous Pedro Ferreira, the four defenders are Sergio Machado, Jerio, Wu Tianchang and Jose Alberto, the back is Chen Jinwu and Joor, the left winger is Paulo Gomez, the right midfielder is Francis, the center midfielder is Queilos, and the single striker is Bailey, who replaced Chen Jianhao, and almost all the main players played. However, because Chen Jianhao did not play, Govia deliberately discharged a more defensive lineup, but in fact, the players as a whole still tend to be attack-oriented.

"The referee blew the whistle for the start of the first half, and the first half officially began!!" The commentator of the Porto sports station shouted loudly, and the stadium resounded with neat applause and enthusiastic shouts.

The game officially began, and it was the away team Boavista who kicked off first, and almost without passing through the midfield, Boavista went straight to the first attack.

After receiving the ball from Bailey, Quilos did not return the pass. He stepped on the ball with his foot, and when the Covilian Athletic striker No. 9 pounced, he slammed it down and slammed it past the opponent. Quellos immediately pushed the ball forward and pushed it towards the advancing Bailey. The ball slipped between the two of Atlético Covilha's midfielders and Boavista quickly broke through Atlético Covilha's midfield defence.

As he ran, Bailey easily held the ball, and the centre-back on the left side of the opposition quickly pushed it out, while another centre-back hid behind him to protect him. The central defender on the left side of the opposition stopped in front of Bailey, his eyes firmly on the ball, although the Brazilian player in front of him was only a substitute, but Brazil has always been rich in world-class strikers, he did not dare to be careless.

It's action! Bailey slammed the ball across with his right foot and flicked it quickly towards the left side of his body with the outside of his left instep on the tip of his left. The centre-back on the left side of the opposition shifted his centre of gravity to the right, but he didn't make a move, and it was clear that the defender had plenty of experience, even though he had only played in the Portuguese second and third divisions. However, it is obvious that he underestimated the explosive power of the Brazilian, and just when the central defender on the left side of the opponent had just stabilized his body, Bailey shot out like a sharp arrow with a sharp force at his feet. The centre-back on the left side of the opposition spun around quickly and at the same time reached out his hand to grab Bailey's shirt. However, Bailey had already entered the penalty area, and the hand that the central defender on the left side of the opponent had just stretched out suddenly froze and quickly retracted.

As soon as Bailey, who had lost his hindrance, stepped into the penalty area, the goalkeeper of Atletico Covilha had blocked the near corner, stretched out, his legs slightly bent, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the ball at Bailey's feet. Another centre-back, hidden behind the centre-back on the left side of the opposition, rushed sharply towards Bailey, who had just stepped into the box, but Bailey, who had just stepped into the box, swung his leg quickly and Bailey got up and shot. The centre-back on the right side of the opposition didn't think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly stretched out his right leg and crossed Bailey.

Bailey, who stepped into the box, quickly flicked his right leg and smashed the ball at his feet. The goalkeeper of Athletic Covilha opened his eyes wide, "Volley hard, near corner!" A series of words suddenly flashed in his mind, and the opposing goalkeeper's body reacted immediately, his slightly bent legs suddenly moved upward, and his hands suddenly rose up, sealing the entire near corner. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough! The opposing goalkeeper who had done this series of actions was overjoyed, but before the joy could climb up to his face, his face changed suddenly and became extremely surprised. (To be continued.) )
