Father Green

Chapter 3 and five: Benfica, who is short-handed and long-handed

Scored one just at the beginning, which is naturally very unhappy for Benfica fans.

But what makes them even more unhappy is that after the team fell behind, they did not catch up in time, but let the opponent control the rhythm.

Gaitan took the ball and wanted to open a gap on the wing, but Rodriguez mercilessly tackled the ball directly, and the football rolled out of the baseline.Mel Gallejo came up to throw the ball out of bounds, but there were many Southampton players gathered on this side. The football came to Lima's feet, and he wanted to move the ball to stretch the space.

But his ball was seized by Wanyama before it was passed out. Wanyama distributed the ball to Pogba and easily avoided Gaitan's counterattack.

Pogba spotted the space behind Mel Gallejo who came up, and directly passed the ball to the opponent's back, a large open area.

Rodriguez started immediately and rushed up from the wing.Mel Gallejo wanted to return to the defense, but when he turned around, he saw Rodriguez in front of him. He reached out to pull the opponent's jersey but failed.

Matic decisively left his center and pulled over to intercept the opponent.Rodriguez Matic is no stranger to him. He was loaned to Waiters by Chelsea last season, and then came to Benfica as a bargaining chip for David Luiz last season, so it can be regarded as a relationship with Rodriguez. Gus has fought several times.

But when he saw that the opponent was getting closer and closer to the football, he realized that the speed of not seeing the Colombian for most of the season had actually increased.
Matic really wanted to say to the opponent: "You have changed!" But he didn't have time to greet each other. In order for the opponent to easily get the ball and go out, he could only press his teeth and shovel at the opponent.

Rodriguez naturally saw Matic, but because the opponent wanted to intercept the football in front of him in advance, the Colombian didn't even smile at this, because how could the opponent's two long legs run past him? .

It was only when the opponent came over with a flying shovel that he realized that the situation was not what he imagined. Rodriguez jumped up in a hurry to avoid the opponent's impact, but he was still taken by the opponent during the jump and was thrown on the grass. At that time, I deliberately rolled several times to remove the force of the impact and reduce the possibility of injury.

Matic naturally knew that he had made a mistake. He immediately stood up and wanted to reach out to pull Rodriguez to express his friendliness, but Rodriguez fell to the ground with such a force that he couldn't do it quickly. Standing up, he waved his hand to signal that he should slow down on the ground.

Pogba didn't care so much, he rushed forward to separate Matic and Rodriguez: "What do you want to do? Tell you, what is coming towards us!" He also pointed out that he was not far away. Wanyama who came running.

Rodriguez is a very polite player who doesn't talk much in the team.Born in South America, he does not have the violent temper and petty movements of those South American players who grew up playing streetball, plus his appearance
Rodriguez, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is indeed a modest gentleman in the team. At least compared to a bastard like Pogba, he can really be a representative of a gentleman.

So Pogba thought that the opponent was going to bully his teammates. After all, with Rodriguez's temper, if he was bullied by the opponent, he might not directly punch him. , He naturally wants to support his teammates.

The referee came very quickly, immediately separated the opponent's players, and then showed Matic a yellow card. Although the Serbian midfielder tried to defend himself, the referee thought his previous action was too dangerous , and still rushing towards people, a yellow card is already preferential treatment.

The situation did not escalate, Rodriguez was not injured, and Matic did not deliberately provoke trouble, so this conflict will naturally not spread.

Charlotte shook her head, thinking that Matic is quite smart. He put the person down and climbed up immediately to express his friendliness and then pulled the opponent up. If the action is not too aggressive, and the consequences to the opponent are not serious, it is almost impossible to be shown a red card.

It's just that the Benfica fans were dissatisfied with the referee's penalty result. Their boos were loud, for the referee and Rodriguez respectively.

"Damn it, that kid fell so exaggeratedly, and flipped on the ground several times, is it too obvious?"

"That's right, an absolute flop!!"

"Powerful acting!! As expected of 007!!" (James is pronounced in English as James, James Bond)

"Hey, are you a referee? That kid is flopping, and he gave us a card!!"

Fans don't care if the few laps you rolled on the ground were unloading protective movements to avoid injury, anyway, in their opinion, those few rolls were too exaggerated.At the same time, how could one's own players make mistakes?Matic must have never touched each other, that "agent" is too good at acting.

Rodriguez was a Porto player before, and after moving to Southampton this season, he met Benfica in the European arena. Naturally, it is impossible for Benfica fans to like him.

Schneiderlin came to handle the free kick, the football went out, Jose Fonte and Nkuru took off to compete for the top, but the football was pushed by Benfica defender Luisao, and it went out of the bottom line.

Southampton free kick converted to a corner.

It's just that this corner kick was not taken by Schneiderlin, but was given to Rodriguez. The French midfielder chose to stay in the backcourt with Danny Rose and Carvajal to defend the opponent's counterattack.

Rodriguez drove the football into the opponent's penalty area. This time Nkuru hit the football and formed a header, but it was confiscated by the goalkeeper Artur. He was too straight.

Artur didn't drive the ball out quickly for a counterattack, because he had noticed that Southampton's backcourt defense was not loose, so he chose to drive slowly to slow down Southampton's rhythm.

The players on both sides had already put up their postures, and Artur just played the football.He didn't drive a big foot to the frontcourt, but drove the ball short to the central defender Garay, and then Garay gave it to Matic under the pressure of Icardi.

Charlotte shook her head. Benfica wanted to control the ball so as not to give themselves a chance. It's just that they feel too good about themselves.

If the offense can't be pushed out, the ball control and layer-by-layer advancement will work?How about the layers of advancement for Arsenal and Manchester United?Isn't it because you have no temper when you are beaten by yourself, and you, a team that is not good at this style of play, dare to make a fuss?

Charlotte thought differently, if it was her, she would choose her best wing attack.Regardless of Sanqi 21, going up is just a "combined punch", the so-called "beating the master to death with random punches" has some truth, at least it is much better than using one's own weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths, this method of killing up.

Sure enough, Benfica conceded the ball when the football just reached Martins. Pogba snatched the opponent's football, and then a through ball was handed over to Icardi.

Icardi immediately split the side to Aubameyang, and then advanced in the middle.The Gabon sports car started immediately, kicked the ball out, and then the whole person rushed out.

If Aubameyang is really a sports car, then this action must be a catapult start? !
Benfica's right back Pereira is not slow. The data of three goals and four assists in the league this season proves that he is also a defender with a knife, and such a full back must have requirements in terms of speed .

But it also depends on who you compare with. If you compare with Aubameyang, Pereira is really not enough.

After seeing that Pereira was not threatening, Aubameyang did not go directly to the bottom, but chose to cut in, so that he had more options.

Garay left his position and prepared to step up to make up for Pereira's side, but Aubameyang didn't want to have a direct contact with the Argentine defender, so he sent a through ball directly.

The football rolled past Garay's outside and entered the penalty area.And Icardi also started immediately, getting in between Garay and Luisao.

Seeing the back of Icardi who had rushed into the penalty area, Matic scolded his mother in his heart: "You bastard Gareth, can't you wait until I'm closer to go out? You can't make up for me in time!"

Icardi received the ball in the middle of the penalty area, but Artur, who was attacking at this time, also arrived.The Brazilian goalkeeper rushed directly at the football that had just reached the opponent's feet, wanting to keep the football first.

But how could Icardi miss such an opportunity?The Argentine center dunked the football to avoid the opponent's pounce, and then used his arm to press Luisao behind him to prevent the opponent from going around to block and destroy him. Then he stabbed with his right foot, and the football rolled towards Benfica goal.

At this time, Icardi could no longer maintain his balance and was pulled to the ground by the opponent.Luisao was shocked, and immediately let go, raising his hands high to indicate that he hadn't moved - if the opponent didn't score the goal, but he gave a penalty kick instead, the picture would be too cruel, Luisao dare not think about it.

The football rolled towards Benfica's goal step by step. The left back Mel Gallejo, who came from the far end, was running towards the football quickly, but in the end there was still no time. When he was still on the line of the penalty area, the football was already Rolled into the bottom line of the goal.

"Mauro-Icardi!!" Alan Hansen shouted the name of the scorer. When Southampton was still in the British Championship last season, he became a Southampton fan because of a joke, but Gradually he has been conquered by Southampton and Charlotte.

In his words, Liverpool is his home team, and besides that he is a loyal supporter of Southampton.
