Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 21 Fighting the Old Lord

Wang Po's outstanding performance is not just a simple surprise for Benfica, it is even related to the overall situation of this season's championship.

Last year, they missed the league title, and this year the club is desperate to get back the missed title!

Riise's injury is a huge blow to the team, and the delay in finding a replacement has cast a shadow over the road to the championship this season.

Wang Po's amazing debut gave Benfica fans hope again.

In the next two rounds, Wang Po started the game and played the whole game. His performance was remarkable, and he scored two assists.

For a time, became the most sought after darling among Benfica fans!

The reason is very simple. First, it made up for Riise's missing position and retained the hope of competing for the championship. Second, the better Wang Po performed, the more he proved the stupidity of Porto.

It is what Benfica would like to see to make the rival look ugly.

Just when everyone was expecting Wang Po to be able to kill all directions like him in the youth league, the No. 80 rookie encountered a rookie wall.

As the game continued to deepen, each team began to study and analyze Wang Po, and formulated targeted tactics. For a while, Wang Po was at a loss and performed poorly.

In the four rounds, Benfica only scored two wins and two draws, and the gap with the leader Porto has reached 5 points, and the situation is not good.

The good news is that Core Riise is back.

For a while, Wang Po's appearances were greatly reduced, and the data was not as good as before, which was embarrassing.

Under the leadership of Riise, Benfica's record rebounded again, with a wave of three consecutive victories, narrowing the gap in the standings to three points again.

The next month will be the big test for Benfica. The devil's schedule of four days and one game will determine the championship of this season.

Leagues, cups, and the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League round of [-].

This requires the head coach Mano to have super wisdom, and while taking turns to rest the players, he must also ensure the results.

From the perspective of the Benfica club, the league championship and the knockout round of the European war are very important, and the cup competition seems a bit tasteless.

In terms of the league, most of the opponents are at the mid-range level, and the real battle is the Champions League.

Portuguese national derby.

Benfica, who qualified first in Group E, drew second Porto in Group B.

The sworn enemy at home is dueling for a showdown in Europe.

This is also the third matchup between the two sides in various competitions this season. In the first two matches, Benfica won one and one draw and remained unbeaten, with a psychological advantage.

It was also the matchup before the season that allowed Benfica to establish a points advantage. Unfortunately, the sudden injury of the core stepped on the foot brake.

In this European battle, the two sides are doomed to fight to the death.

Mano made a team rotation plan early.

Semi-main league, substitute cup, main European war.

Wang Po's opportunity came again. The level of the teams in the cup competition is uneven. It is an opportunity to find the status and integrate into the team.

Started two cup games in a row and scored two goals.

More importantly, facing the opponent's targeted defense, he gradually adapted to this rhythm.

Mano was very satisfied with Wang Po's recovery.

The league is dominated by rotation, and the level of opponents is average, which did not bring much difficulty to the Benfica team. A wave of three consecutive victories continued to maintain the desire for the top position.

Wang Po's playing time in the league has also increased. The good news is that in these three games, goals have been scored.

The battle is imminent, and the state of the Benfica team has been adjusted to the peak.

On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, the Stadium of Light ushered in the first round of the European knockout round.

In the national derby, the most indispensable thing is the topic, the conflict.

Before the start of the game, the scolding war between the fans of both sides on the Internet had already been in full swing, and it was full of gunpowder.

At the press conference before the game, Porto head coach Ola added to the fire, describing the former Porto player Wang Po as a "traitor", thinking that his transfer was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Wang Po moved to Benfica. As the head coach, he was criticized and abused by many Porto fans, so he naturally hated Wang Po in his heart.

One stone stirred up waves, and as soon as this topic was brought up, the collision between Porto and Benfica intensified.

All kinds of warm-ups were staged as scheduled, and the hot atmosphere was still rising.

Inside the Stadium of Light, as far as the eye can see, more than 6 home fans formed a sea of ​​red, which is exactly the color of Benfica's jersey. The deafening boos were given to the Porto team and the Porto fans who came from afar.

This formation is like thousands of troops, and the pressure is so heavy that it makes people's breathing difficult.

Players with poor psychological quality are afraid that their legs will be weak under such pressure.

The opponent's pressure, one's own motivation.

The uniform cheers and cheers of the audience ignited the fighting spirit of the Benfica players.

The fans are the No.12 people on the field.

Inside the player tunnel.

"I didn't expect you to switch to Benfica. You are really a bastard."

Before the start of the game, Silva deliberately waited for Wang Po at the exit of Benfica's locker room, and the two faced each other full of gunpowder.

Facing Silva's provocation, Wang Po met his eyes and said coldly, "Good dogs don't get in the way."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Silva staggeringly.

The movement here attracted the attention of players from both sides. The two teams quickly approached the scene of the incident, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What's the matter, you've lost your temper after changing to a new club, kid." Edu, the big brother of the Porto team, came over angrily, grabbed Wang Po by the collar, squinted his eyes, and said viciously.

"Go away, I want to fight, I will accompany you, see if I don't beat you out of the shit." Seeing his teammates being bullied, Gomez was the first to step forward and grabbed Edu by the neck, pulling him aside.

The same center position, the same height and big, the gold and silver boots of the league just got on for the little brothers under him.

Both of them are old men in the Portuguese Super League, and their status in the world is unshakable.

If you want to say that you can overwhelm Edu, looking at the entire Portuguese Super League, I am afraid that there is only the Portuguese international Gomez.

"What happened?"

The referee who was waiting to enter the field noticed this, looked around and walked over.

Tough Gomez?Edu was still a little hypocritical. When he saw the referee approaching, he got off the donkey and said harshly, "I'll see you on the field, kid."

Silva looked at Wang Po viciously and made a gesture of wiping his neck, looking extremely disgusted.

Wang Po squinted her eyes, and responded with a faint smile. For some reason, Silva felt a chill down her back.

"Don't worry about them, if you dare to trouble you, I will clean them up."

Gomez patted Wang Po on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Wang Po nodded, his words made him feel warm.

……

The episode in the waiting hall heralds the popularity of this game.

In this game, Mano's Benfica team played with the strongest lineup, striving to gain the upper hand in the first round.

Wang Po did not enter the starting list, but was on standby on the bench.

Even so, the first game of his European career still made him very excited. The atmosphere of this intercontinental game can be described as "suffocating".
