Chapter 452: First Defeat

Maritimo played a very "watery" game in Aveiro, the "water city".

The game process was very "watery", but the result was not "watery" at all, this unusually affordable 1:0 made Maritimo win the Portuguese Super League championship for the first time in history!

As soon as the game ended, all the Maritimos on the pitch and on the bench cheered and sang loudly, celebrating the glorious moment that belonged to the team.

Based on his previous experience in winning championships, Gao Yuan knew that the guys under his command would definitely not let him go.

He was about to quietly escape back to the locker room, but was hugged by the orangutan-like Zhou Yong, and then this bastard shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on!" Don't let the high guide run! ”

Then a group of people rushed up, facing poor Gao Yuan, grasping the grip of the hand, catching the foot, and throwing Gao Yuan into the sky.

Gao Yuan felt that he was flying higher this time than before, and he endured his nausea and cursed in his heart: Why do you have to suffer such a crime every time you win the championship! O iniquity!

Waiting for the seven meat and eight vegetables that were thrown, like scattered yellow eggs, they returned to the locker room in a daze.

He was greeted by another shower of champagne, drenched inside and out.

Gao Yuan returned to the hotel wet with all the Maritimo coaches and players, not at all like the army of kings who had just won the championship, but like a group of stragglers who lost a water fight.

Because the result of the match could not be determined before the match, the Portuguese Football Federation did not bring the trophy to Aveiro. If you want to really lift the trophy, you will have to wait until the last game, after the home game against Porto.

The next day, the squad returned to Funchal and Gao Yuan gave the first team's 18-man squad a week to rest

of false.

It's both a reward for them and a consideration for the team's form.

Players outside the 18-man squad have fewer opportunities to play, and they are also eager to develop themselves and show themselves through the game. Now that the team is free of the pressure to perform, it's a good time for them to perform.

And the main players have a rare opportunity to rest, this season they are almost spinning, except for the league, that is, they are called up by the national team, and rarely get a full vacation. Now let them relax, there are two big games to play.

One is the final league game against Porto.

The symbolism of this ball is greater than the actual meaning. Although Maritimo has already won the title, Porto have basically locked up second place in the league. But as a contest between the upstarts and the old kings, Porto will not rest on their laurels and will definitely hold back their strength to fight Maritimo to the death, preferably to defeat their opponents and disrupt their championship celebrations.

The next game is the Portuguese Cup final a week after the league.

Although Maritimo's final opponent was Guimaraes, who was not strong. But as the last battle of the season, it is about the honor of the double champion, and it is absolutely impossible to lose!

At this time, giving the main players a week of rest is equivalent to recharging their batteries halfway through, allowing their bodies and minds to relax. Once you've returned, it's time for the final sprint!

As a coach, the problem of lofty consideration cannot be limited to the gains and losses of one city, one place and one game, but must be considered comprehensively with the overall situation.

At this point, he is already very experienced.

However, to take the initiative to rotate, there is a certain price to pay.

In the following league, Maritimo, who played as a full substitute, lost 0:1 to the strong Famalicão.

This is the end of the 31-game unbeaten run.

In this regard, the outside world has slightly criticized.

Some say that Maritimo floated after winning the championship, disrespecting the opponent and sending a group of substitutes to play, deserving to lose!

Some say that it turns out that Maritimo just happened to have a group of talented main players, and without them, the lofty tactics were exposed.

Others said that Maritimo was giving favors on points, and it was unfair to other teams to send substitutes at this time.

However, Gao Yuan is very determined, and his motto is "plan and move, act and be resolute". Now that you have a strategic plan in place, there's no need to reinvent the wheel because of a small twist and turn.

Uncle Farmer said it well, don't plant crops anymore when you listen to Lala crickets?!

In the 33rd round, although he lost in the previous round, and although the main players have regrouped for a week of training, Gao Yuan still only sent substitutes to play.

In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, the team defeated Ives 2:1, who was struggling for relegation.

The rumors of taking points and giving favors are self-defeating.

And this time, the Maritimo substitute players, who already had some experience and played an official game, performed much better than the last one, and the three armies fought for a victory!

Gao Yuan was very pleased, not because of the results and scores, but because of the fighting spirit and courage shown by the players on the field, and they also resolutely implemented their own tactics.

The lads proved that Maritimo's substitutes can also be based in the Portuguese Super League!

Finally, the league came to the final round.

Maritimo will host Porto, the former giants of the Portuguese Super League.

The Portuguese Super League trophy will also be awarded to the Maritimo players after this match.

The Dos Barres Stadium was full of memories, with the number of people inside and outside the stands definitely exceeding the maximum capacity, and the fans crowded into the stadium to witness the most memorable moment in the team's 100-year history.

Thiago's family was also crammed into a corner of the stands, but unfortunately his uncle was out to sea and could not celebrate with the rest of the family.

Before leaving for the sea, his uncle gave Thiago a bottle. Let him open it the moment the team lifts the cup, fill it with air, and then seal the bottle again.

When he returns, he'll breathe the air of this historic moment!

However, this long-cherished wish was almost not fulfilled, because the tickets were so tight!

In the end, his father, who was a little picky on weekdays, actually gritted his teeth and spent two months' salary to buy three tickets with the worst position, so that little Thiago did not have regrets for life!

After being served by his mother, his father said with distress and pain: "I knew this, I would have gone to buy a season ticket before the season!" A season's home games add up, and it doesn't take half a month's salary! You'll have to buy a season ticket for everything next season! ”

At this moment, their family was crowded into the corner stands full of people, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and in front of them, the three flagpoles just firmly blocked their vision, and they could only take a look at the situation in the stadium from the gap in the flagpole.

Little Thiago hugged the bottle in his hand tightly in the crowd, as if he was holding the whole world!

Thiago Jr. is looking forward to the construction of the new stadium soon! That way we won't have to be crowded in crowds anymore!
