Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 42 Champions League Group Stage

Being completely suppressed by Guimaraes, Mano couldn't sit still. This game should not be lost for him and the team.

Only 17 minutes into the first half, he made the decision to make a substitution.

Wang Po got up and walked to the warm-up area.

In an instant, the focus of the Stadium of Light was on the bench.

The team's record has been poor recently, and Wang Po's return is the only consolation for the fans.

At 22 minutes into the game, the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign to signal a substitution.

Player No. 80 came on the stage and Wang Po returned.

All the fans cheered and applauded. This feeling has not been seen for a long time!
Mano arranged Wang Po in the midfield, partnering with Riise, the purpose is to strengthen the control of the ball and stabilize the situation.

Catch the ball, get the ball, transfer the dispatch.

Wang Po's debut relieved Riise's pressure, and Benfica's offense was improved. The formation expanded, pressed up, and launched an attack on Guimaraes' goal.

Gomez in the penalty area took the high-altitude ball and gave it to Riise, who was the second point on the outside.

After the right winger got the ball, he accelerated down to the bottom. Seeing this, the left back and midfielder of the Guimaraes team rushed to block it.

Wang Po stood on the side of the opponent's left defense line, ready to respond at any time.

The right forward of the Benfica team looked up and saw that all the passing routes in the penalty area were blocked, so he chose to return the ball to Wang Po, who was active in the ribs of the penalty area.

Gomez was involved in the penalty area. Guimaraes' left back and midfielder made up for the wing, resulting in a temporary vacuum area in the ribs. Wang Po did not miss this opportunity. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

The score was 1 to 0.

It was player No. 80, Wang Po, who scored the goal.

Returning from injury and announcing his return with a goal, what could be more perfect than this performance?
Wang Po clenched his fists fiercely and roared angrily, venting out his grievances about his injury.

After leading the score, Benfica chose to retreat. Mano replaced the right winger with a defensive midfielder, and Wang Po was pushed to the side to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

After losing the ball here, the Guimaraes team pressed up on the third line and launched a crazy counterattack.

The Guimarães team shot cold arrows from the outside and fired from a long distance. The goalkeeper of the Benfica team easily took it down, and the ball was thrown to Wang Po who was waiting for an opportunity from the side.

The Guimarães team with an empty defense line gave Wang Po a chance to sprint, striding the ball along the sidewalk to accelerate.

Facing the right central defender of the Guimaraes team who was defending to the side, he confuses the opponent's center of gravity by continuously pedaling a bicycle, and suddenly accelerates away from the opponent and enters the penalty area.

Danger.

The left central defender of the Guimaraes team hastily filled his position, and the goalkeeper abandoned the goal.

The two defended and blocked all Wang Po's shooting angles. In a flash, with a flick of his ankle, the light lob shot broke the opponent's blockade.

The score on the field changed again.

With Wang Po's brace, Benfica took a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.

The fans at the scene were elated. It had been a long time since they had seen such a hearty attack from the team. They celebrated wildly with ecstasy, and played the human wave with great interest.

Change sides and fight again, the second half of the game begins.

The Guimarães team, which was behind by two goals, had no fighting spirit, and their offensive strength was not as good as in the first half.

One ebbs and another, the morale of the Benfica team is high, and the offensive is like a tide.

Wang Po's scalpel-like through ball pierced through the defenses of Guimaraes and created a single-handed opportunity for Gomez. As the league's golden boot last season, there was no reason to waste the opportunity.

Five minutes later, Benfica got another penalty kick.

As the first penalty shooter in the team, Gomez gave up this scoring opportunity to Wang Po.

Running up, accelerating, and shooting, Wang Po completed his hat-trick in this game.

The final score was fixed at 4-0.

The Benfica team swept away the haze of the previous rounds, regained their confidence, and once again launched a powerful impact on the championship.

Wang Po, who shot three shots and passed one pass, was selected as the MVP of the game.

At the press conference after the game, head coach Mano turned into Wang Po's first blow.

"Perfect, this is a perfect player with no flaws. It is simply a masterpiece of God. I think through this game, no stupid person will question Wang Po's state."

Mano's words directly pointed the finger at the public opinion pusher Jen Jack, who was jumping around in the office at the moment, mad. "Damn Wang Po, I should just break your leg!"

The curse at the top of his voice showed the resentment of Jen Jack at this time.

Yes, Silva's rough foul is from his handwriting.

If you can't get it, destroy it, which is also in line with Jan Jack's historical style. Silva is just a substitute for Wang Po.

The headlines on the sports front page on the second day attracted a lot of attention with headlines such as "Genius Announces Return, The Era of Dual Pride Has Arrived".

Three days later, in the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Benfica team went to Moscow to challenge the Moscow zy Lujun team.

Although the status of the Russian Super League in Europe is not as good as that of the Portuguese Super League and the Argentine League, the strength of the Moscow Zy Lujun team from the Russian Super League cannot be underestimated. It is a frequent visitor to the Champions League and has strong funds in the team. It has attracted many quasi-first-tier and second-tier players to improve their strength.

In the first two rounds of the group stage, the Benfica team had one loss and one tie to qualify. The situation is not optimistic, and three points are urgently needed to stop the bleeding.

Before the game, the top management of Benfica had issued a death order and must win the game.

Wang Po went out with the team and entered the 18-man squad, but did not start the game.

Physical strength and hardness are the characteristics of the Moscow Zy Lu Jun team. On the contrary, their technical and tactical aspects are their weaknesses.

Avoid its edge and aim at the dead spot.

Mano asked the players to play behind the opponent's defense line as much as possible, and use speed to overwhelm the opponent.

As soon as it came up, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and the possession of the ball changed many times.

After Riise got the ball, he made a straight pass to the striker.

Gomez accelerated to chase the ball, and the two central defenders of the Moscow Zy Lu Jun team next to him followed closely behind. The collision of muscles and strength consumed Gomez as much as possible and slowed down his speed.

Even so, Gomez still had a better skill and was the first to touch the ball. However, due to excessive consumption and exhaustion of strength, his shot was weak and did not pose a substantial threat to the goal of the Moscow Zy Lu Jun team.

Soon, the Moscow Zy Lu Jun team responded aggressively on the offensive end.

The corner kick was issued, and the center forward leaped high, ahead of the Benfica central defender, and headed the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately, the angle was slightly wide.

This time, the Benfica team broke out in a cold sweat when they attacked the goal and escaped unharmed.

In the ensuing time, the two sides had offense and defense against each other, and both were defeated by a close call.

In the first half, the two sides ended in a draw.
