Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Wang Po's outstanding performance is not just a surprise for Benfica, but also related to the overall championship situation this season.

After missing the league championship last year, the club is holding its breath to win back the missed championship this year!

Riise's injury is a huge blow to the team, and the delay in finding a replacement has cast a shadow on the road to the championship this season.

Wang Po's sudden appearance and stunning debut have given Benfica fans hope again.

In the next two rounds of games, Wang Po started and played the whole game, with remarkable performances and two assists.

For a time, he became the most popular favorite among Benfica fans!

The reason is very simple. First, he made up for Riise's injury and retained the hope of winning the championship. Second, the better Wang Po's performance, the more it proves the stupidity of Porto.

Making the enemy look bad is what Benfica is happy to see.

Just when everyone was expecting Wang Po to be as powerful as he was in the youth league, rookie No. 80 encountered the rookie wall.

As the game progressed, each team began to study and analyze Wang Po and developed targeted tactics. For a time, Wang Po was at a loss and performed poorly.

In the four rounds of the game, Benfica only won two games and drew two games, and the gap with the leader Porto has reached 5 points. The situation is not good.

The good news is that the core player Riise has returned.

For a time, Wang Po's appearances were greatly reduced, and the data was not as good as before, which made people sigh.

Under Riise's leadership, Benfica's record rebounded again, with a wave of three consecutive wins, narrowing the gap in the standings to three points again.

The next month will be a big test for Benfica. The devil's schedule of playing every four days will determine the ownership of this season's championship.

League, cup, and the knockout round of the European Cup.

This requires head coach Mano to have super wisdom, and to ensure the results while resting the players.

From the perspective of the Benfica club, the weight of the league championship and the European knockout round is extremely heavy, and the cup seems a bit tasteless.

In the league, most of the opponents are of mid-level level, and the real fierce battle is the Champions League.

Portugal National Derby.

Benfica, who qualified as the first in Group E, drew Porto, the second in Group B.

The domestic rivals will fight it out in the European war.

This is also the third match between the two sides in various events this season. In the first two times, Benfica won one and drew one to remain unbeaten, and had a psychological advantage.

It was also the match before the season that allowed Benfica to establish a points advantage. It was a pity that the core player suddenly stopped due to injury. At the same time, Porto's lineup was in place, and Silva's strong performance made up for the weak link in Porto's midfield. As a result, Benfica lost the top spot.

In this European war, the two sides are destined to fight to the death.

Mano made a team rotation plan early.

Semi-main league, substitute cup, main European war.

Wang Pei's chance is here again. The level of the teams in the cup is uneven. It is an opportunity to find the state and integrate into the team.

He started two consecutive cup games and scored two goals.

More importantly, facing the opponent's targeted defense, he gradually adapted to this rhythm.

Mano was very satisfied with Wang Po's performance.

In the league, rotation was the main method, and the opponents were average, which did not bring much difficulty to Benfica. A wave of three consecutive victories continued to maintain the desire for the top position.

Wang Po's league appearance time also increased accordingly. Fortunately, he scored goals in these three games.

With the war approaching, the state of the entire Benfica team has been adjusted to the peak.

On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, the Stadium of Light ushered in the first round of the European knockout match.

The national derby is not short of topics and conflicts.

Before the start of the game, the online scolding war between the fans of both sides had been in full swing, full of gunpowder.

At the press conference before the game, Porto coach Ola added fuel to the fire, describing former Porto player Wang Po as a "traitor", believing that his transfer was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Wang Po transferred to Benfica. As the head coach, he was criticized and abused by many Porto fans, and naturally hated Wang Po in his heart.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. Once this topic was raised, the collision between Porto and Benfica became more and more intense.

Various warm-ups were staged as scheduled, and the hot atmosphere continued to rise.

In the Stadium of Light, looking around, more than 60,000 home fans formed a sea of ​​red, which was the color of Benfica's jerseys. Deafening boos were given to the Porto team and the Porto fans who came from afar.

This battle was like a huge army, with heavy pressure, making it difficult to breathe.

Players with poor psychological quality would probably be weak under such pressure.

The opponent's pressure is the motivation of their own side.

The uniform shouting and cheering of the whole audience ignited the fighting spirit of the Benfica players.

The fans are the twelfth man on the field.

In the player tunnel.

"I didn't expect you to transfer to Benfica. You are such a jerk."

Before the game started, Silva deliberately waited for Wang Po at the exit of Benfica's locker room. The two of them were full of gunpowder when they met.

Facing Silva's provocation, Wang Po met his eyes and said coldly, "A good dog doesn't block the road."

After that, he pushed Silva hard and made him stagger.

The noise here attracted the attention of the players from both sides. The two teams quickly moved towards the scene of the incident, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"What's the matter? You're getting angry after changing to a new club, kid." Edu, the big brother of the Porto team, came over angrily, grabbed Wang Bo's collar, squinted his eyes, and said viciously.

"Get out of here, if you want to fight, I'll accompany you. I'll beat you to death." Seeing his teammates being bullied, Gomez was the first to step forward and grab Edu's neck, pulling him aside.

The same center position, the same height and strength, the league's gold and silver boots just went up for his little brother.

Both of them are old players in the Portuguese Super League, and their status in the arena is unshakable.

If there is anyone who can suppress Edu, looking at the entire Portuguese Super League, I'm afraid it's only this Portuguese international Gomez.

"What happened?"

The referee waiting to enter the field noticed this and walked over.

Hard against Gomez? Edu was still a little nervous. Seeing the referee coming, he just took the opportunity to say something harsh, "See you on the field, kid."

Silva looked at Wang Po with a venomous look and made a gesture of wiping his neck. He looked extremely annoying.

Wang Po narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly in response. For some reason, this made Silva feel a chill on his back.

"Don't worry about them. If they dare to trouble you, I will deal with them."

Gomez patted Wang Po on the shoulder and comforted him.

Wang Po nodded, and these words made him feel warm.

...

The interlude in the waiting hall foreshadowed the popularity of this game.

In this game, Mano's Benfica team played with the strongest lineup, striving to gain the upper hand in the first round.

Wang Po did not enter the starting list, but was on standby on the bench.

Even so, the first game of his European career still made him excited. The atmosphere of this intercontinental game can be described as "suffocating".
