Football No. 10: God's Perspective

In such a heavyweight duel between mortal enemies and the knockout round of the Champions League, Gomez scored a goal and killed the game. At this moment, under the spotlight and witnessed by 62,000 fans at the Dragon Stadium, a hero was born.

Gomez, the battering ram that charged countless times!

The cheers and celebrations caused a slight earthquake at the Stadium of Light.

As the assist, Wang Po also enjoyed the great courtesy of the fans, and the shouts shook the earth.

Mano's frown relaxed and showed a long-lost smile.

First, it was because the deadlock was broken, and second, it was because his change of formation was effective.

The starting right winger has extremely high wing attributes, but lacks some changes. Once the left back of the Porto team adapts to this offensive rhythm, it will be easy to defend.

On the contrary, Wang Po, who is not a very pure wing, can catch the opponent off guard.

Born in the midfield, Wang Po has vision, dribbling, and field reading abilities that wingers do not have. Mano wanted to use Wang Po's ability to change the offensive rhythm of the wing.

Gomez's goal was due to Wang Po's off-ball running, which tore through Porto's left defense and created a goal.

Tactical victory made Mano more excited than a goal.

The game has come to the final stage. Being scored at this point is tantamount to a catastrophe.

Looking at the carnival-ravaged Benfica team, the Porto players were a little discouraged.

After the kick-off, a fierce counterattack was launched, trying to tie the score in a short time.

Porto's offensive was aggressive, especially the frequent impact on the wing, which created many opportunities. Benfica was afraid of the opponent's midfielder's ability to insert in the back row, so the back midfielder did not dare to leave the top of the penalty area line empty, so that the protection of the wing was not strong enough.

Here it comes again.

It was still the familiar bottom cross, the cross ball landed in an excellent position, and Edu, who had been lying in ambush in the small penalty area, jumped high.

Danger.

In a flash, two Benfica central defenders, one in front and one behind, sandwiched Edu in the middle like a sandwich.

All the strength was exhausted in the confrontation, resulting in Edu's header being soft and weak, high and floating, and the Benfica goalkeeper easily took the ball off.

Wang Po left the defensive formation and quickly ran to the right side of his attack.

The goalkeeper understood, and the unicorn arm came out, and the powerful hand throw went directly across the half court.

When Porto competed for the corner kick, only one right back and one defensive midfielder were left in their own half, and the defense system was not built at all.

The quick counterattack hit the opponent's defense line that was not stable, which was a contest and confrontation of personal ability.

Wang Po sprinted with the ball, facing the right-back who was blocking him, and with a flick of the outside of his foot, he easily changed direction and passed the opponent, accelerating directly to the top of the penalty area.

Porto's defensive midfielder accelerated from the left and fell to the ground to tackle.

However, the ball passed the opponent, but it was already very dangerous in this area. As a defensive player, he had to stop the opponent's attack even if he had to pay the price of getting a card.

In terms of frequency, Wang Po still had the upper hand, and he poked the ball away one step faster. The defensive midfielder of Porto who was chasing and defending shoveled his feet, and he fell to the ground with a painful expression.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle decisively and rushed to the scene of the incident. He determined that Porto's defensive midfielder deliberately sabotaged the attack and showed the perpetrator a red card.

The red card was unacceptable to Porto. All the players surrounded the referee and loudly defended their teammates.

The perpetrator held his head with both hands, his face full of disbelief. He could not accept such a result at all, and Porto could not afford the loss of one less player.

Facing the Porto players' excuses and dissatisfaction, the referee still insisted on his penalty.

"No room for negotiation, destroying an absolute goal-scoring opportunity, a red card for sure. Also, I remind you that there is not much time left in the game. It will not be good for Porto to continue to delay."

Facing these chattering and sophistry players, the referee is quite experienced.

Ola on the sidelines blushed, roared furiously, and protested loudly to the fourth official to express his dissatisfaction.

The matter is done, no matter how dissatisfied or angry, the perpetrator still has to bear the price of his mistake and be sent off!

Benfica got an excellent free kick opportunity 24 meters to the left of Porto's goal.

"Per, come on."

Benfica's midfield core, Riise, handed the ball to Wang Po and said.

"Aren't you going to take the penalty?" Wang Po asked puzzled.

As the core of the team's midfield, Riise's footwork is undoubtedly the best in the team. The position of this free kick is also his specialty. Now, the first penalty taker actually gave the precious opportunity with a high probability of scoring to Wang Po, who was only 16 years old and made his Champions League debut.

What kind of trust?

Looking at the professional arena, this is also a very rare scene.

Riise smiled, patted Wang Po on the shoulder and encouraged him. "I know your footwork is also great, I believe in you."

Wang Po took the ball and looked at Mano on the sidelines. The latter gave him a thumbs up. Obviously, as the head coach, he had no objection to the choice of the free kick this time.

Wang Po wiped the ball clean with his jersey, kissed the ball gently, and carefully placed it on the grass. He took a deep breath and measured the distance. The five-step run-up was a distance he liked very much.

Under the command of the Porto goalkeeper, the four-man wall at the front blocked the near corner of the goal, while the others were responsible for marking the Benfica players participating in the free kick attack.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the penalty kick could be taken.

The originally noisy Luminosity Stadium was particularly quiet for Wang Po at this time, so quiet that he could hear every beat of his heart in his chest. He had no feeling in his body movements, and he kicked the ball completely relying on the inertial muscle memory of daily training.

The arc spun outward from the side, bypassing the wall at the front point of Porto and turning towards the near post.

The goalkeeper of the Porto team also reacted very quickly, volleying sideways, watching the flying ball suddenly fall rapidly, slipping through his fingers and rushing into the goal.

"Beep"

2-0.

Benfica once again expanded its lead.

The perfect arc, the perfect goal, Wang Po ignited the whole audience, and the huge Luminosity Stadium once again fell into boiling cheers.

Thousands of fans shouted, Wang Po's name was deafening, resounding throughout the Champions League stage.

One pass and one shot, with a perfect performance, he fought back against his old club on such a high-level stage as the Champions League.

It was so refreshing!

Wang Po felt that the blood in his body was ignited, and he was filled with endless energy. He ran, shouted, and vented.

Benfica on the sidelines catered and celebrated.

Everyone's adrenaline soared, and they were in an extremely excited state.

In sharp contrast, the Porto players looked dusty. In such an important game, they became stepping stones and background boards.

Today, they will walk out of the Stadium of Light as losers.
