Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 96
In the opening minutes, Porto's striker returned to the center line. Benfica's fantastic start made everyone's emotions in the Nerazzurri take a turn for the worse. Before he had time to press, Carrado hit the long ball that seemed harmless but ultimately deadly.

"Benfica's effective first attack, initiated by captain Calado, Simao contributed a wonderful dribble that can enter the top ten of the week, and Jan Kauskas on loan from Real Sociedad is also good enough. We can see the Lithuanian calm. deal with.

Of course, Angolan striker Mantolas's sense of smell in front of the goal is even better. The personal abilities shown in these moments make people full of confidence in Benfica after the coaching change. "

The sports channel of the Portuguese capital TV invited two guests with backgrounds of the two sides. Watching the replay, the old player who played for Benfica spoke excitedly. After he finished speaking, the guests from Porto sighed deeply. One sound:
"Porto's offensive ability has never been questioned, so I have always disagreed with those words in the interviews of the new coach Jose Mourinho. The Nerazzurri need to improve is the defense. Look at these frustrated lads. Hope they can. Stand up again amid the criticism..."

Porto, who took the ball again, immediately went into the attack. The two wingers Candido Costa and Capuccio took turns attacking the opponent's defense, but the six players in the backcourt of Benfica have steadily shrunk their formation.

Porto's strikers have never been able to find a chance to cooperate. When it comes to fighting alone, their personal ability is much worse than that of Simao. In many cases, they can only lob the ball at 45 degrees to the middle. McCarthy's height is higher than that of Fernando May. The pull is slightly low, and he is the only point in the penalty area. Not only did Porto fail to make a decent attack, but it was threatened by Benfica's counterattack several times.

Mourinho stood on the sideline and looked at the people in Porto who were as dazed as headless chickens. The back and forth between the two sides had lasted for more than ten minutes. Porto's routine performance, a huge ship without a captain would be so dizzy.

The biggest problem at present is that the boss of the giant ship has no choice but to hand over the responsibility of guidance and direction to a newcomer. One can imagine how the first mate, second mate and chief engineer will feel. They will not give this What a good face for a newcomer.

Looking at Young, who has barely received the ball on the field and can only run desperately in the midfield like a sailor sweeping the deck, he is still trying to make some contribution to the team by intercepting the passing line, Mourinho Ao felt a little sad, and he had no choice but to push Yang to the position of Porto's starting midfielder, which is really not a wise move.

But he can't come forward and scold the Porto players who are like lone wolves for this. The juniors who came out of the Porto youth academy, and when the team fell behind, they still detonated the emotions between the players, unless Mourinho was crazy.

It's difficult, but you can only earn the trust of your teammates by yourself, as you did in Leiria, and it is because I believe you can do it that I put you in the starting lineup against all odds, Jan.

……

It wasn't until Candido failed to break through for the fifth time that Porto's defense gave up the long pass to find a way to attack directly from the side. When the game was nearly 10 minutes into the game, Simao found another opportunity and came from the left. The inside cut broke through to the top of the penalty area, and a high-quality wide-angle shot threatened the goal guarded by Baier.

After holding the ball for a few breaths before getting up, Vitor Baia yelled at Andrade, who had repeatedly rushed up recklessly. He no longer dared to blindly trust the defenders standing in front of him. .

Porto's goalkeeper made several gestures towards Costinha, so that the most stable Portuguese midfielder on the field tried to control the ball in the midfield as much as possible. He really couldn't stand the continuous siege of Benfica.

It’s not that Costinha doesn’t want to do this, but without Pavlin, who always assists Secretario on the right, there are very few points where he can score the ball in the midfield. It is a bit too demanding for some players to do Deco's work.

In Costinia's heart, Young was still an inexperienced child, and seeing the young man running desperately near the center line, doubts still prevailed.Whether or not to hand over the ball to Yang, as the big brother on the green field, as the senior in the team, he can protect this little guy who has just entered the first team indefinitely, but it does not mean that he will easily give away his trust.

Just when Costinha held the ball and was about to observe the situation on the field further, Miguel had already quietly swayed to the center line. At the same time, the extremely fast Mantolas rushed to Costinha from behind, Porto's back He turned around to protect the ball, intending to use his physical advantage to take down this difficult opponent.

Benfica's right winger picked up speed suddenly and caught Costinha together with Mantolas. The Portuguese, who is used to dirty work, is not Deco after all. Dodging Mantolas has already used up most of his attention. Costinha Nia was unaware of opponents attacking from different directions, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, he had no time to pass the ball.

Miguel stuck to his body skillfully, and when he stretched out his right leg, he blocked the path of Costinha's ball. When the three were fighting, it was the right winger from Benfica who took the lead in stabbing the ball, and he took the lead with his left foot. Avoiding Costinha, who intends to counter-rob, whether it is Miguel or Mantolas, as long as they start smoothly, neither Porto's slow midfielder can catch up.

Mantolas twisted his waist and waved his arms to get rid of Costinha's pulling hand, and Miguel also successfully opened a safe enough distance. Even if he didn't rush forward, Benfica could win three-on-five or even in the frontcourt. A three-on-four situation.

Simao has attracted the attention of many defensive players because of his previous performance, so now, except for the right, Porto's backcourt looks very empty, there is a lot of space for Jankaskas and Mantolas to gallop, In order to buy more time for the Angolan striker to run, the cautious Miguel took a few more steps forward with the ball.

It was these few steps that rekindled hope for Costinia, who felt that he had made a big mistake, and gave Mourinho on the sidelines enough time to yell at the back line, because they saw a figure at high speed He rushed towards Miguel who thought he had entered the land of no one.

Young sprinted past Costinha along a straight line with his legs. Yang's speed was already fast without the ball, but the somewhat slow Porto midfielder made him faster. Young's intention was obvious. He wants to pass from Miguel's left hand side, and whether it is a steal or a supplementary defense, it will be a great help to Porto's precarious midfielder.

Sensing someone approaching from behind at high speed, the Benfica winger reacted immediately, and broke away from the state of concentrating on finding the passing line. Miguel stopped and tapped his left foot, and took two steps to the right. He wanted to pass directly The guy in the back trying to steal a chicken.

If it was Costinha who was chasing him, then Miguel's change of direction was indeed caught off guard. The 1.8-meter-one midfielder might miss the only chance to make contact at high speed because he couldn't hold his feet.

Young, who was approaching on the left side, turned to the right side before Miguel changed direction. It wasn't because he had foresight or any special ability, but because Young suddenly recalled that the Benfica winger is a right-footed specialist. He wants to further press Miguel's passing lanes from the right.

So Costinia watched as Yang leaned over to the right like a motorcyclist turning a corner, and then Miguel jumped out to the right as if deliberately looking for a confrontation. The speed is not slow, and what happens next can be imagined.

Although the ball that Miguel waded out was stabbed away by Young, who was coming first, the two of them collided like a high-speed rear-end collision. The scene was extremely tragic, and Miguel almost rushed towards him. The outstretched elbow touched Yang's side ribs, and just this one made the boy roll three times on the ground, clutching his chest and not getting up for a long time.

But speaking of it, Mr. Yang is still prepared for physical contact, with tight muscles for protection, and at most it is a slight soft tissue contusion. On the contrary, Miguel did not expect this collision at all, and his whole body was relatively relaxed. , In addition, when Yang poked the ball away, there was a natural bending movement of his left knee, which directly hit the outside of the Benfica winger's thigh.

Miguel painfully clutched the upper part of his right knee, where there were many tendons and ligaments. Big drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Seeing that the two people who fell on the ground did not get up, Porto and The Benfica players all anxiously waved their hands towards the coach's bench.

Both Mourinho and Ferreira called for their team doctor. The medical staff trotted to the field, and the surrounding players also gathered. The team doctor squatted beside them almost at the same time, lowered their heads and listened to the players describe themselves feelings.

Yang took the team doctor's hand and aimed it at the left rib where the pain was the most intense. The latter touched it lightly and felt it. After asking whether Yang had no symptoms of bone friction and breathing difficulties, he took out an ice pack and applied it to the boy for a while. After a while, the free hand gave a thumbs up to the coach's bench, and Mourinho was relieved.

But Benfica is not so optimistic. The team doctor carefully checked his right knee. Seeing the twitching reaction of Miguel's leg, and the player's own description of the collision site, the team doctor confirmed that it was at least a muscle. Contusion, as to whether the ligament is involved, you may need to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination.

The team doctor shook his head slightly towards Ferreira, and the head coach of Benfica cursed angrily. While asking the stretcher to carry Miguel off, he found the fourth official: "Did you see, this is a damn Foul, that bad boy should be sent off!"

The fourth official squinted his eyes and looked at Ferreira expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Don't try to influence the referee's judgment on the game, please return to your position, sir."
