Football No. 10: God's Perspective

No more, no more miracles.

Porto is lost in Benfica's home stadium, the Stadium of Light.

The 2-0 score was enough to give Benfica more initiative in the two rounds. At the same time, the second game also had more tactical options.

On the contrary, the Porto team was already on the verge of elimination. In the second round, it was a last-ditch battle and had no choice.

Coming off the bench, passing and shooting, it can be said that Wang Po single-handedly directed the victory against Porto.

After the game, the MVP of the entire game was also awarded to this 16-year-old player.

Outside the players tunnel, there were reporters interviewing.

"It can be said that your appearance today has changed the situation on the court, and you are facing your old club. Does this game have special meaning for you?"

"Before the game, Porto coach Ola called you a 'traitor'. Do you have anything to say in response?"

The first question is a small test of the reporter's skills, while the second question is very sharp. It is obviously a trap set by the media to deliberately create topic conflicts.

Facing reporters' questions, Wang Po behaved very freely and seasonedly, not like a young player who was being interviewed by the media for the first time.

"There is no doubt that this game is the first Champions League game of my career. It is of great significance. After the whole game, what impressed me most was the suffocating offense and defense and the strong rhythm of the game. Fortunately, my teammates were very good and we finally won. I scored a goal and won the game, thank you to my teammates and all the fans.”

After a pause, Wang Po continued, "Well, Porto is indeed my old club, but unfortunately I don't have an appearance record in Porto, and I don't have an opportunity to show my abilities. Fortunately, Benfica gave me such a platform, such a Opportunity is what makes me who I am today.”

"I don't know why Mr. Ola called me a "traitor". Is it wrong for a player to want to play in the game? I can understand the coach's choice of players, but I don't understand his accusation. It's a bit inexplicable. During the game In a previous conversation with Mr. Ola, he actually used a player’s worth as the only criterion for his ability, which surprised me.”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters who were interviewing were all bright-eyed. They knew that if this interview was released, it would trigger a hot topic again.

At the post-match press conference, Benfica's head coach Mano also expressed support for his disciple Wang Po.

"Everyone has seen this game and the performance on the field. Everyone can make a judgment. I think those guys in Dezhuan have taken too many fake drugs. Who is worth more? It is clear at a glance. The one who passes and shoots The young player is simply a genius and I’m very lucky to have such a player.”

Also attending the press conference was Gomez, who said that "it would be a crime to leave a player of exceptional talent on the bench."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The Benfica general's words were full of praise and support for Wang Po, putting all the responsibility on Porto head coach Ola, who fell into a whirlpool of public opinion.

In the subsequent press conference, Ola said with a black face throughout, "We had a chance to score the opponent's goal, but unfortunately we were a little unlucky."

When asked by a reporter how he felt about his former disciple's retaliation, Ola shut up and stood up and left the press conference without grace.

The next day, major sports media began to frantically report on the interviews between the two teams after the game and their completely opposite attitudes.

In the writings of sports reporters, the "grievance" between Wang Po and Porto was highlighted.

Under this kind of text rendering, Porto fans hated the player who had had countless expectations. Some extreme fans even went to the door of Benfica Club and pulled up banners and shouted Fuck language.

I admire his courage, but Benfica fans are not vegetarians, and they greeted this arch-rival fan cordially with their fists.

Ola's situation is not good, and the pressure has doubled. Firstly, because he lost to his archrival in the important Champions League, the team fell into a passive position. Secondly, the club put all the responsibility for selling Wang Po on the head coach.

As for the media reports and exaggeration, he himself can only answer with silence, hoping that this matter will slowly be diluted as time goes by.

…

In the first leg of the Champions League in midweek, Benfica passed the test and took the initiative.

The weekend league went on as scheduled.

Benfica's core midfielder Riise was rotated and did not enter the 18-man roster. His replacement in the starting lineup was player No. 80, Wang Po, who had just shined in the Champions League.

In this round, Benfica's opponent is the league's strongest team, Sporting Lisbon.

It is also a club with a century-old history. Its youth training system is one of the best in China and even Europe. More importantly, the league championship is even better than the other two giants, Porto and Benfica.

It has produced many superstars. Just the two superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo, the Ballon d'Or winner is enough to explode. There are also quasi-first-class world stars like Nani, Quaresma and Sabrosa, which shows that The heritage of this club.

However, there have been frequent coaching changes in the past two years, coupled with some gaps in the youth training team, the results are not stable. Otherwise, the Portuguese Super League will not be the current two heroes fighting for hegemony, but a three-nation fight.

Even so, Sporting Lisbon, as a veteran team in the Portuguese Super League and a super giant, is still very competitive.

Even if the team is turbulent, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it can maintain the level of the top four. It can burst out super-level combat power in the game against strong teams, which should not be underestimated.

This time, Benfica, with the remaining power of the Champions League victory over Porto, visited the Alvalade Stadium to challenge Sporting Lisbon.

The game started.

The intensity and rhythm of this game are no less than the previous Champions League.

Sporting Lisbon adopted a crazy stranglehold in the midfield, using the body, fouls to slow down and disrupt the rhythm of the game.

Chaos, this is not what Benfica is good at. For a while, the team was a little flustered and gave Sporting Lisbon some opportunities. Unfortunately, the final kick was still lacking.

This is also the chronic disease of Sporting Lisbon in recent seasons, lacking a striker who can make the final decision.

Wang Po, who was taken care of, is no longer in the primary professional league at that time. Being able to judge the situation and make correct judgments is also the ability that a professional player should have. The amplitude of retreating to receive the ball is very large, and the position he stands in is similar to the position of the back midfielder.

Instead of passing the ball to the two defensive midfielders in the midfield, the team made a long pass to the wing to attack the opponent's back line.

This change made Sporting Lisbon a little confused. They didn't know how to deal with it for a while. The opponent hit several players on the wing. There was a panic in front of the goal, and the signal of losing points had already sounded.
