Mendes finally signed a contract full of humiliating clauses with his sworn enemy Mr. Messi Jr. half a month later, and even had the right to advertise himself and spread the big news that he signed Messi were all stripped away.

Mendes is moody back in Portugal, ready to watch Manchester United away at Benfica, and expects to be given a lot of praise for Cristiano after the win - and he hopes Cristiano hasn't been overwhelmed by the odious little Messi The husband is bad, thinking that public opinion is completely unimportant.

Benfica also attaches great importance to this game-although Cristiano did not come out of Benfica, but as the team of the motherland, Benfica still pays extraordinary attention to the fact that Cristiano returned to Portugal to play.

And as an important part of "Extraordinary", Eusebio also appeared on the scene of the game.

Mendes didn't have much affection for this famous man who was good to Cristiano in the "early years", but inexplicably started to roll his eyes in the last few years of his life. When he entered the box and saw him, he also hurriedly sat at a distance and didn't intend to get close to him. and.

—Mendez thinks the story should be like this.

Eusebio had a very good attitude towards Cristiano as a fan in the early years, but after this honeymoon period ended, when Cristiano had not won in the national team for a long time, but the number of goals jumped by leaps and bounds and began to surpass When Eusebio and ordinary Portuguese fans gradually forgot Eusebio's performance in the national team and began to think that Cristiano was the only savior of Portugal, Eusebio could not calm down.

Eusebio had every reason to think that he was the one to lead Portugal to third place in the World Cup, and Cristiano... you know, he didn't even get a cent before Eusebio died.

Mendes understands him, and deeply dislikes him.

Eusebio had already been introduced by people around him when Mendes came in. He was interested in Cristiano's story and wanted to talk to Mendes about this kid, but he took a look and found that he didn't intend to come over to say hello At that time, he was too lazy to pay attention to him-Eusebio's status in the Portuguese football circle was not comparable to others, and he certainly didn't think he needed to cater to the agent of a player who had only become famous in the past two years.

"Mr. Eusebio was looking at you just now." Mendes' assistant reminded Mendes in a low voice, "I guess you should go over and say hello, even if it's just to say hello?"

Mendez hummed, but did nothing.

The assistant pouted and said nothing.

The game started with Mendes dodging Eusebio.

"The No. [-] is the Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon I told you—Mr. Maradona also praised his ability." The chairman of Benfica leaned beside Eusebio and pointed out to him respectfully Nuo's location.

Eusebio watched with a telescope, "That young man Maradona only likes people with the same temper as himself, he is very partial."

Mr. Chairman pretends not to hear someone say that Maradona is a young man.

Cristiano got the ball from Giggs in the third minute of the game - Rooney started at the same time as Cristiano on the other side of the pitch.

The Benfica defender came to follow up with Cristiano. Cristiano suddenly lost the pass angle and the space to continue dribbling the ball. In desperation, he had no choice but to kick the ball to the Benfica defender's feet and destroy the ball out of bounds.

Manchester United retain the ball.

Cristiano opened the ball and the ball went directly to Ferdinand in the middle.

Ferdinand strikes Scholes across, Scholes dribbles it forward and then passes it to Giggs - Giggs stops the ball, pushes it forward again, and the ball reaches Rooney's feet .

In front of the penalty area, Rooney was knocked down by the Benfica central defender, and Manchester United got a free kick in front of the penalty area.

Cristiano goes to the ball - Neville is in front of the goal, Cristiano takes a free-kick over Neville's head, but the Benfica keeper jumps better and takes the ball off before Neville touches it the ball.

In the 8th minute of the game, the ball came to Benfica.

Eusebio has played for Benfica almost all his life. For him, the Portuguese ancestors are not as important as Benfica, let alone the little ancestor Cristiano-Eusebio picked up the binoculars and pressed the binoculars to his face , staring hard at Benfica's dribble.

Maybe it’s because it’s not long before the start and there’s plenty of time. Benfica played very patiently in this attack. After the ball came out of the backcourt, it passed the midfielder to stabilize it, so that the frontcourt had time to go forward and the defense had enough time to arrange the formation. , and keep a reasonable distance from the midfield.

Eusebio was satisfied that his juniors were so well-trained and calm-minded.

Although Benfica did not score in this round of offense, it lasted quite a long time-this is also due to the Benfica winger who is very good at grabbing points, if he can be saved/blocked/missed every time other people shoot When the ball was grabbed, Manchester United had already regained the ball.

Cristiano got the ball again in the No.205 minute of the game.

Cristiano got the ball at halftime and pushed it along the wing to the frontcourt. Saha in the middle requested from the front, and Cristiano followed suit.

Saha didn't rush to shoot after getting the ball - he didn't have a good chance right now, so he could only take the ball to Rooney's direction, expecting to hand the ball to Rooney within a distance as close as possible.

However, this intention was too obvious, and Benfica's defensive attention was immediately shifted to stop Saha's attempt.

Saha had no other choice but to pass the ball back to Giggs.

Mr. Giggs instinctively flicked the ball to Cristiano without even thinking about it.

Cristiano worked hard to move the ball laterally close to the middle. The Benfica defender thought he thought of the middle and then passed the ball to Rooney-after all, this routine is very familiar, and Rooney did retreat at this time.

But when the Benfica defender blocked the connection between Cristiano and Rooney, Cristiano suddenly kicked the ball to Saha at the front of the center.

Saha successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot at a dead corner that was difficult for the goalkeeper to take care of.

The ball hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area - chaos in front of the goal, but after all, Manchester United cannot benefit from the melee every time.

The ball was caught by the Benfica defender, and a big foot hit a Manchester United player and jumped out of the touchline.

The ball came to Benfica again.

Benfica originally wanted to slowly transition the ball according to the previous operation, but this time the ball happened to be on the side of Cristiano. When Cristiano realized that Benfica was not in a hurry to give the frontcourt, he immediately followed. Benfica When the defender waded out of the ball, he got together and poked the ball away.

The Benfica defender was originally the one who was closer to the ball, but the sudden destruction of the ball made him stunned for a moment-the first reaction was not as fast as Cristiano's, and his speed was not dominant. Naturally, he couldn't catch up with Cristiano at such a time. Nuo got the ball before.

The chairman of Benfica sat in the stands and sighed, with every breath he took, "Why didn't Benfica buy Ronaldo back then, if Benfica bought Ronaldo, I would never sell it no matter how much money I have".

"Benfica should have bought Ronaldo before Sporting Lisbon." Eusebio said pertinently.

The chairman of Benfica also regretted it, but he still held back his mouth - it's one thing to think in his heart, but for a public figure like him, he still has to say nicely, "Fortunately, he is still a member of the Portuguese national team. .”

Eusebio froze for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Mr. Chairman with the eyes of a fool.

Mr. President doesn’t know why—Most of the Portuguese are happy for a young man like Ronaldo. Although he regrets that his team failed to win Ronaldo, to some extent he thinks that Ronaldo’s not staying in Sporting Lisbon can be regarded as a benefit to the whole The Portuguese Football Federation and humanity too.From this point of view, he thinks he did nothing wrong.

"Are you crazy, sir? There are only Benfica and Benfica's enemies tonight, there is no Portuguese national team - the national team is another matter, not to be confused with the club. Even if he is a member of Portugal, he is now an enemy of Benfica. So, sir, don't be silly, the Stadium of Light is not a place for you to carry forward your family and country feelings." Eusebio severely reprimanded the chairman for his weird remarks.

The corner of Mr. Chairman's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.He obviously felt that Eusebio had divided these two matters too clearly, and this seemed unnecessary.

at the same time.

The ball was taken by Ferdinand and quickly handed over to Cristiano who was inserted into the center again-the ball was transferred so fast that Benfica's defense did not have time to follow.

This was obviously a huge mistake.

For a moment, Cristiano was as empty as the sea.

Cristiano subconsciously kicked just a little beyond the center line outside the penalty area.

Like a bolt of lightning hitting the only big tree in the wilderness, hitting another planet's planet straight.

0:1, Manchester United broke the deadlock at half time with Cristiano's long shot.

The chairman of Benfica put down the binoculars in his hand, and looked at Eusebio solemnly and sadly, "I think you are right, there are only Benfica and Benfica's enemies tonight."
