In the 7th round of the league, Rexos played against Naval at home.

Naval was established in the same year as Porto and is one of the oldest teams in Portugal. However, compared with Porto, Naval in the central region is not a successful team. In the 2004-2005 season, Naval was promoted to the Portuguese top league for the first time. Then in the past three seasons, this small ball will play relegation every season and is called the "ugly duckling" of the Portuguese Super League by fans. However, compared with the relegation team, Naval is still very successful. They have been relegated every season.

Naval started poorly this season and has not won a single game in the first six rounds.

In this round, Naval head coach Cayoda still has some ideas.

Although Rexos had a stunning performance in the first six rounds, Rexos had obviously gone downhill in the last three rounds. As a coach who has been working hard in the low-level league for a long time, Cayoda does not know how to win the championship, but knows how to survive. He knows that at this time, it is the time when the newly promoted team is in poor condition to score points. Once they return to their state, they may turn from the newly promoted team into a dark horse again.

Once the newly promoted team is not a dark horse, there will be few people paying attention to it. After the freshness of the previous few rounds, the media has now turned their attention to the three giants. The match between Rexos and Naval began the seventh round of the Portuguese Super League without the attention of outsiders.

After formulating a strategy of permanent counterattack before the game, although this game was at home, I faced the deputy squad leader who was unable to win in the first six rounds. Rexos still lined up the tactics of three midfielders, defended steadily and counterattacked. There was no chance and would never attack easily.

Naval was also preparing to steal the chicken at the beginning. Whether it is strong or weak, it is easier to play defensive and counterattack than to play all attacks and defenses. Even a team that is fully committed and defends, many of the goals scored rely on the opportunity to counterattack.

But after more than ten minutes of the game, Naval found that Rexos did not take the initiative to attack, and he had the same idea as them, trying to steal the chicken.

If Rexos is still in the first four rounds, Naval can be satisfied with one point, but now Rexos is in poor condition and is guilty at home and dare not attack. Naval's players are active and gradually tentatively attacking Rexos.

Rexos played against defensively, not luring the enemy into depth. They fought with Naval in the midfield. They launched a quick counterattack when they grabbed it. If they couldn't, they continued to grab it and repeatedly grabbed it. In short, they did not allow their opponents to approach their penalty area.

If Rexos is allowed to attack, they really can't attack well. The only ones they can attack in the frontcourt are Lopez, Nice, Robert and Brandi. The others are all defensive steals. Although Gao Xiaodong has all-round football skills and awareness, he is still a semi-professional player after all. Now he has a foothold in the middle and lower-level teams, relying on speed, strength, physical fitness and a vulgar head. He only does these dirty and tiring tasks. He really doesn't need too strong skills and consciousness. However, if Gao Xiaodong wants to organize the attack, he can barely stand it in the Portuguese Super League, but there is no chance in the Portuguese Super League because the pace is faster and there is no time to react.

When it comes to defense, Gao Xiaodong, Ziner, and Dior are all players with explosive physical strength, fast speed and excellent physical fitness. They keep running in the midfield and can run one more person than the opponent in one game.

With Rexos' midfield sweeping and interception ability, even Benficaboa Vista cannot break through, let alone Naval, who fights for relegation every year.

However, Naval is also very cunning, otherwise he would not have relegated every year. Although they launched an offensive, they did not put a big push. Even if Rexos steals the counterattack in the midfield, it will be difficult for him to break through Naval's goal.

Rexos and Naval were both patient. Both sides had been entangled in the midfield for almost halftime. They were not in a hurry. The fans in the stands were anxious. Rexos played poorly in the first two league games. In this game, Rexos fans also expected Rexos to be able to slap Naval and wipe out the bad luck of the previous games. Unexpectedly, the two teams competed near the center circle for 45 minutes in the first half. Although it was very lively and often overturned, this is Portugal. Latin football is popular. You seem to fight in the midfield. The fans are actually not happy. He took off his pants. You show him this. What they need is actually offensive goals.

Compared to Rexos, Naval obviously needs a victory, but a weak team like them can find a team that is weaker than them to win, so the newly promoted team in front of them has become a fat sheep in their eyes.

After the second half began, Naval felt that he had almost tested it. Rexos was in very bad shape, so he increased his offensive force and prepared to attack hard, get a goal, and then play Rexos' counterattack.

Little did they know that Rexos' midfield defense was very good. They could not get close to Rexos' penalty area just like they did when they did not.

In the 65th minute of the game, Rexos, who had been patiently waiting for the opportunity, finally waited for the opportunity.

Naval launched an attack from the wing, and the cross was pushed out and fell to the feet of the Naval player. So the defenders and forwards who assisted did not go back and wanted to launch a second wave of attacks.

Who knew that Rexos' steal was quick. Before Naval's No. 8 had time to launch an attack, Gao Xiaodong flew to steal. No. 8 was too dodged and was caught by Ziner.

After Zener made a steal, he looked up at the frontcourt. At this time, Brandi started running alertly. Zener understood it and immediately made a long pass, hitting the ball behind Naval defender.

Zener's passing skills are not very strong, but Naval left a little more room this time. Even if Zener's long pass is not so accurate, Brandi also got it. Facing the Naval goalkeeper who was attacking, Brandi pushed it lightly and completed the goal casually.

1:0

The fans in the stands finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were all cheering and applauding desperately, as if they wanted to vent their previously wasted feelings.

After scoring the goal, Rexos did not strike while the iron was hot and attacked again, but continued to return to his half-court defensive counterattack.

At this time, Naval could no longer continue to spend money with Rexos. They had to attack, otherwise they would not win seven games, and there would be a possibility of relegation.

Naval launched a large attack, Rexos continued to defend and counterattack, patiently waiting for the next chance to score.

Ten minutes later, Brandi scored twice with Robert's pass, basically securing the victory.

Naval wanted to equalize the score later, but Rexos did not give them any chance. In the last ten minutes, Naval was unable to make up the situation and could only accept the result of losing away.

Gao Xiaodong didn't get in front of this game, nor did he shoot long distances, and basically didn't show any performance. He just defended with Dior in an unknown way.
