The morning was a resumption training. After the training, everyone had a dinner together at noon. During the afternoon training, during the group confrontation, Gao Xiaodong was still as diligently as before, stealing and intercepting in the back midfielder position. However, after stealing the ball, he no longer handed over all the ball to Lopez, full-backs, Zena and others, but often dribbled the ball forward and assisted.

At the beginning, Oliveira was a little strange, but this was just a training. I felt that Gao Xiaodong might just want to play and taste human addiction. It was nothing. Young people, they are more playful. Gao Xiaodong never did this in the competition. So he didn't say anything.

Later, Oliveira discovered that Gao Xiaodong's breakthrough success rate was very high. Occasionally, his strong body and good defensive consciousness could also allow him to kill danger in the cradle.

Oliveira was a little surprised and thought to herself, this kid's football skills have improved and he can break through. It seems that the extra practice has not been in vain.

In the following days of training, Gao Xiaodong was not as calm as before, often dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, and often didn't come back in the frontcourt, receiving the ball, controlling the ball and breaking through, and shooting.

This is the job of the front midfielder. If you do it with the back midfielder, even if the front midfielder is not done well, this should not be done. On the football field, the division of labor is very clear. Unless that kind of star has certain freedom, others will perform their own duties and must not interfere with it.

Before the game against Amadora, Oliveira finally couldn't hold back. He kept Gao Xiaodong after training.

When he came to Oliveira's office, Gao Xiaodong was still pretending to be confused and said, "Coach, are you asking me for trouble?"

Oliveira said: "You did a good job in training in the end."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Is that so? I think it's still like that."

Oliveira said: "It's still like that? Gao Xiaodong, I think you are too modest. You are better than Maradona now. Maradona has never used to defend a midfielder. You are now shoulder-to-shoulder."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Do I have it? Did I make any mistakes in training?"

Gao Xiaodong's retort question made Oliveira who was about to hit Gao Xiaodong, because he thought about it carefully that Gao Xiaodong really did not make any major mistakes in training. He did a good job of defense and assisted forward. In a sense, Gao Xiaodong was not doing his job seriously, but he did two jobs at the same time.

But what should be said still has to be said, Oliveira said: "Do you know what your responsibilities are as a midfielder?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I know that I need to intercept the defense, assist in the ball, and properly insert assists."

Oliveira said: "Have you had a little more assists these days? It would be no harm to do this in training, but if you do this in the game, the opponent will fight back, who will make up for your position? Every time you have to make up for your teammates, who will make up for your original position?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Coach, you have also seen it. I am a little tired of playing the back of the middle and can't stay there anymore. Can you change my position for me? I want to play the front of the middle."

"You want to hit the front midfielder?"

Oliveira opened her mouth wide in surprise. If Gao Xiaodong said he would play the striker, Oliveira would not be surprised. After all, Gao Xiaodong had played the striker and played well, but Gao Xiaodong had never played this midfielder. What is he trying to do? Want to play all positions?

Gao Xiaodong answered again firmly and said, "Yes, I want to hit the front midfielder."

Oliveira was shocked at first, but when she thought about it carefully, Gao Xiaodong had a very comprehensive skill. From a forward to a midfielder, it would be more normal to go from a forward to a midfielder.

Judging from the training in the past few days, Gao Xiaodong's technical progress has been quite good, and it seems that there is no big problem to play as a front midfielder, but this is only seen from the training, and it is hard to say what happened during the game.

Oliveira said slowly: "Your skills are very comprehensive. I have seen these two days of training. You have made great progress and it is nothing to be a big deal to play the front midfielder. But you have never played the front midfielder. I am not very relieved to play this position."

Gao Xiaodong heard Oliveira make progress very fast, and when he felt relieved, he was worried that Oliveira said: Hey! Why did you make progress so fast?" Now Oliveira says half of it, and he keeps half of it. What is the intention? Gao Xiaodong guessed it almost. He smiled and said, "Coach, I can continue to play the midfielder, but you have to give me the power to get in front and break through and freedom in the frontcourt."

If Rexos had not accumulated 24 points, if Gao Xiaodong had not had comprehensive skills and had a certain performance in training, the most important thing is that when signing in the summer, Dior, who had already introduced technical characteristics to Gao Xiaodong, was introduced. In addition to facing the three giants, Rexos needed to use three back midfielders to defend, facing other opponents in the Portuguese Super League, Rexos was a bit conservative in the three back midfielders.

In the midfielder position, Lopez played well, and his outstanding performance was one of the reasons why Rexos was able to achieve his current results. However, Lopez's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his body. Lopez's body is thin, similar to Xavi, the midfield core of La Liga giants Barcelona.

Such a body protects the ball is a bit troublesome, the impact is not enough, and the long-range shot is not very threatening. These are things that Lopez cannot change even if he wants to change. This is natural. If Gao Xiaodong and Xavi play in this position, the above problems will be gone.

Oliveira looked at Gao Xiaodong's example and could continue to play the midfielder. When completing his mission, he played the front midfielder. Of course, there was no problem. Oliveira said: "Since you are so eager to play the front midfielder, I won't stop you. We have a Portuguese Cup match against Durens in the middle of the week. You can try the front midfielder position. If you can perform, I agree to you play this position."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, coach, just wait and see how I perform."

Oliveira nodded and said, "Gao Xiaodong, what do you think of the Portuguese Cup?"

Gao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment. The coach asked himself what he was doing. When he thought about it, he immediately understood what Oliveira meant. Now Rexos has accumulated 24 points, which is only one step away from relegation. If he still regards relegation as a target at this time, it would be a bit self-deception. At this time, there must be a more suitable goal. However, it seems that it is not very realistic to want to win the league or score in the Europa League. In addition, Gao Xiaodong doesn't like to play in the Europa League. If he can't win the championship, it will have no effect on his upgrading. It's better to play the Portuguese Cup. If he wins the championship, it will be 5 points.

So Gao Xiaodongyi concluded, saying: "Coach, I think there is definitely no problem with us relegation. At this time, it is time for us to consider the Cup. We must win the Portuguese Cup."

Oliveira smiled and said, "It's not that easy to win the Portuguese Cup, but you must have a goal. In this mid-week game, you can play well, and when we get the relegation score, we will plan it carefully."
