Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 20 Fighting for Benfica

Sitting on the bench for most of the season in Porto is a huge test of mentality. Fortunately, there is Hamburger next to Wang Po!

Through daily training, Wang Po's weaknesses are analyzed and found!

For young players playing in professional teams, the first point is physical fitness, which is also the basis of everything. Strengthening strength and physical fitness is the focus of Hamburger for most of the season.

All the preparations ensure Wang Po's performance on the field in this game.

Before the game, the head coach of Portimonense specially formulated tactics for the midfield of Benfica. The pre-match starting list made him very happy and overjoyed.

"Dreaming of relying on a child to support the midfield, what a joke!"

Standing on the sidelines, the head coach of Portimonense couldn't help but raise a determined smile. He was confident that he could score points away from home!

As soon as Wang Po got the ball, he would be trapped in the midfield. The midfielders of Portimonense were all experienced, and they used some relatively ruthless fouls but did not get a card to greet a 16-year-old child. Moreover, the opponent was very experienced and did not commit any unnecessary fouls.

After 40 minutes of the game, the score on the field was still 0-0. The situation was evenly matched between the two sides. Benfica did not show its strength in the standings!

Benfica goal kick, the goalkeeper passed the ball to the center back, who made a long pass to find the striker Wang Gomez on the front line, used his strong body to lean against the opponent, stopped the ball with his chest, and passed the ball to Wang Po who came to respond.

The moment he received the ball, Wang Po had already observed that the right back of Portimonense was recovering to protect the middle, and was ready to help the center back to fill the position at any time, and the left winger "fast knife" Diego was left empty!

Wang Po passed the ball without stopping, and a diagonal pass of more than 35 meters accurately found Diego's feet waiting for an opportunity. At this time, the opponent's right back rushed over but it was too late. There was no one in the defensive position on the wing. He accelerated, went down the bottom, and passed the ball to the small penalty area in the middle. Gomez rushed over, like a tank running rampant, hanging on the opponent's two central defenders and pushing the ball into the net.

1 to 0.

After 40 minutes of fierce battle, they finally took the lead!

The whole goal process was constantly replayed in front of the TV, and the commentator praised Wang Po's non-stop ball transfer!

This transfer reflects the vision, footwork, and insight on the court.

At least at the level of the Portuguese Super League, those who can make such a pass are rare!

God, is this No. 80 player really only 16 years old?

"Per, your pass was great!"

After scoring the goal, Gomez and his teammates ran towards Wang Po, pointing to the No. 80 player who made his professional debut and introducing him to the 62,000 fans in the stadium, with a smile on his face, full of pride and confidence.

Mano on the sidelines punched hard to celebrate. This kid gave him a huge surprise. He was not afraid of big scenes. His football IQ and footwork were online and even exceeded the ability of his age.

On the other hand, the head coach of Portimonense was dejected like a defeated rooster. The tactical link was aimed at the midfielder Wang Po, but it was this point that defeated them.

This was a complete failure!

Taking the lead in the score gave Benfica the confidence to shrink the defense line and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!

Portimonense's strength is limited, and fighting positional battles is not his strong point. The ball possession rate was handed over, but he was at a loss, and even made some unforced low-level mistakes.

The central defender intercepted the through ball from Portimonense, and the ball came to Wang Po's feet. He passed the Portimonense's midfielder with a beautiful butterfly, accelerated in the middle, and went straight to the penalty area.

Seeing that he was within the shooting range, Wang Po was about to kick, and the central defender of Portimonense came up and blocked the shooting route.

"Per!"

Almost at the same time, Gomez keenly grasped the loophole of the opponent's back line, pointed his finger to the sky, and indicated a high ball. Wang Po understood and tore through the Portimonense's defense line with a lob pass.

The position where the ball fell was very comfortable, and there was no need for too much adjustment. Gomez kicked the ball from the small penalty area line and the ball went in!

2-0.

At this time, the game time had reached 75 minutes, and Portimonense was exhausted by the repeated impact of Benfica's offensive line. The three lines were stretched very wide, and there was even only one back midfielder who could come back when defending!

The overall situation has been decided!

In the last injury time of the game, Wang Po got an excellent chance to score. Gomez, who scored twice, returned the favor with a straight pass, tearing open the defense of Portimon. Wang Po got a single chance, broke into the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper who rushed over, and calmly pushed the ball into the net.

3-0.

This was a hearty victory. The last three-goal victory dates back to three months ago!

After three consecutive embarrassing draws against weak teams, Benfica finally stopped the decline. More importantly, the team's weakest link has a new discovery!

One pass and one shot.

There is no better debut in a professional career than this, especially the indirect assist in the first goal. The transfer was simply a stroke of genius, worthy of careful appreciation and appreciation by all football fans.

In the words of a commentator, this is simply a masterpiece of God.

Wang Po, who was frustrated in Porto, started his first professional career in Benfica. He was a highlight when he came on the court and swept away the haze.

Benfica players rushed to the fans' die-hard area to celebrate the victory with the fans!

The team's big brother Gomez put his arm around his little brother Wang Po's shoulders and walked out of the team to let the fans get to know this new teammate.

Under the spotlight, 62,000 fans at the Stadium of Light did their best to shout Wang Po's name to the rhythm of the drums!

The sound shook the earth and resounded throughout the Stadium of Light.

At this moment, Wang Po's heart was surging and he was extremely excited.

This is probably what it feels like to die for a friend.

"Fight for Benfica."

In front of Benfica's diehard fans, Wang Po shouted from the bottom of his heart.

...

Public opinion exploded.

After half a year, Wang Po appeared in the media's sight again, helping Benfica win with incredible performance and keeping close to Porto in the standings.

Newspapers and sports websites reported extensively on this young player who reached the peak of his debut.

In the following league, Wang Po played continuously, scored one goal and one assist, performed brilliantly, and was more comfortable in the position of central midfielder.

For a time, he and Porto's popular fried chicken Silva were called rivals of the Portuguese Super League.

Both are 16 years old, both are midfielders, both have excellent performances, and both replaced the core of the team in the first year. Coincidentally, both sides have already started competing in the U16 league before entering the professional team, and now they will continue to compete in the professional league.

Whether Silva will take the lead or Wang Po will come from behind has attracted constant speculation from fans of both Porto and Benfica.
