Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 66 Fierce Confrontation

On any occasion, under any circumstances, Wang Po has firmly stated that he is now a member of the Benfica team.

As for the future, who knows?

The most important task at the moment is to help the team achieve good results.

Porto, which had a strong performance last season, suffered a disastrous defeat against Benfica in the second half of the season. It was a shameful score for the whole team, from the management down to the fans.

This season, the team has made further reinforcements on the basis of the championship lineup, and its strength has steadily improved. It vows to beat the visiting Benfica team at the Dragon Stadium.

Before the game, the Porto executives even offered a special bonus of up to 300 million euros for this national derby.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Porto's top management hopes to motivate the players to fight in this way to avenge the fiasco.

Compared with the wealthy Porto team, the Benfica team does not have such a big budget.

However, the confrontation between the two sides has never required mobilization.

When the mortal enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

In addition, Benfica currently ranks first in the standings. They want to expand their lead over Porto through this six-point battle. From top to bottom, the team has not let up in the slightest.

In this game, coach Mano also offered the strongest lineup.

Wang Po, who returned to the team, started the game, and Gomez led the attack.

Little black winger Jim is on standby.

"beep"

A whistle blows and the game begins.

With the strength of the home court, Porto launched an attack.

Both Silva and Porto's new midfielder have shown super personal abilities.

Benfica's midfield has very limited restrictions on two players with outstanding personal abilities.

You have a good idea and I have a wall ladder.

Porto relies on personal ability, and Benfica's skilled teamwork is also lethal.

With the help of his teammates, Wang Po single-handedly fought against two masters in the opponent's midfield, and quickly passed the midfield with three passes and two downs.

Wang Po controlled the ball on the team's side through a lot of off-ball movement, support, and connection.

With the deepening of the game, the Porto midfielder increased the number of individual work alone, and the physical exertion was serious.

This is a long time.

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Benfica once again demonstrated a strong ability to pass and control.

With Wang Po as the core, Porto didn't touch the ball in 5 minutes.

This made the Porto fans who were cheering and shouting very dissatisfied and booed.

Under the situation of possession of the ball, Porto fully contracted, the front line was flattened, the space was reduced, and the goal was tightly wrapped.

The transfer of the two sides, the insertion of the back row of the ribs, and even the penetration of the center cannot penetrate this tight defense.

This kind of intensive defense, Porto here is a targeted drill before the game, specifically to deal with the pass control of the Benfica team.

Wang Po took the ball in the middle, and Porto's defense didn't go up to grab it, just stood in their respective defensive positions, and didn't give you the space and route to pass the ball deep.

The ball fell back and forth for about 1 minute, and there were no good opportunities.

To break the dense defense, variables are needed.

On the one hand, the set ball is on the other hand, and the local explosion point is also on the other hand.

Taking advantage of the supporting positions of his teammates around him to attract the attention of Porto's defense, Wang Po suddenly accelerated and broke through the penalty area.

After a long time, people feel that Wang Po only supports the ball, ignoring his own strong personal skills.

Simply changing direction and wiping the ball, he broke through Porto's defensive line with ease, faced the back line directly, and pulled the ball to the right continuously with the soles of his feet.

Sensing the opponent's intentions, Wang Po reacted extremely quickly. The third time he pulled the ball from a slightly longer distance, he set up a shooting space, and tapped the ball with his toes, just like playing golf.

A low ball pierced the central defender's crotch and went straight to the far corner of the goal.

There were many people in the penalty area, and it was a shot with very little movement. The goalkeeper couldn't react in time and watched the ball go into the net.

0:1.

The away Benfica team took the lead at the Dragon Stadium.

It was Wang Po, known as the killer of Porto, who scored the goal.

This name is simply the nightmare of all Porto fans, lingering.

In an instant, the dragon stadium fell into silence, which was eerily quiet.

Looking back at the whole process of scoring, it was completely a display of Wang Po's personal ability. In front of him, Porto's defensive players were no different from wooden stakes, and basically did not play any restrictive role.

"Once again, Wang Po made his old club Porto suffer again. I don't know if their boss Costa now regrets agreeing to sell this player. If it were me, I'm afraid the game would be regrettable."

The words of the commentator in front of the TV undoubtedly sprinkled a handful of salt on Porto's wounds.

Add pain to pain.

At the end of the first half, Benfica entered the locker room with a goal advantage.

As the core, Wang Po's performance in the first half was impeccable, completely unaffected by the previous public opinion turmoil, and his state was still vigorous.

The train runs fast thanks to the headband.

The presence of Wang Po helped the Benfica team find their backbone, and all the players returned to the state of momentum at the beginning of the season. They handled the ball more clearly, and they became more confident when doing one-on-one actions compared to games where Wang Po was absent.

Change sides and fight again, the second half begins.

At midfield, Porto emphasized tough defense.

As soon as they came up, the Porto players put in all their strength and put their bodies to the test. The scene of a technical duel was suddenly changed to a martial arts arena.

The referee's whistle continued, and 10 yellow cards were drawn in just 5 minutes of the second half.

Even so, the hot scene not only did not ease, but intensified.

Here, Wang Po took the ball in the midfield, and there was a bad wind in front of him. Looking up, it was Silva's sliding tackle with his feet off the ground.

This was a red card action, and Wang Po jumped up to protect himself.

Even so, he was still scratched by the opponent's spikes and fell to the ground in pain.

However, the referee did not say anything about this and signaled the game to continue.

This drew protests from the Benfica general.

For this reason, Mano and Gomez also paid the price of yellow cards.

Wang Po's injury was not serious, it was just some skin trauma. After the team doctor treated it briefly, he stood up again and went into battle.

And the connivance of the referee was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The players on both sides seemed to lose their minds.

Four minutes later, Gomez responded to Silva with the same action. The latter clutched his ankle in pain and rolled on the ground desperately, with a painful expression on his face and a miserable howl.

Just for a moment, he clearly heard the sound of bones breaking.
