Football No. 10: God's Perspective

This season, Porto's record against Benfica is very embarrassing.

Facing the arch-rivals in the league, they have yet to win.

The defeat in the last away game against Benfica cast a shadow over the team's Champions League journey. This time, they had no choice but to fight against the odds.

Looking at the team's recent situation, the momentum is good. The team's top scorer Edu has tied Gomez's number of goals in the league scorer list. The two strikers go hand in hand. According to the current state, the competition for the Golden Boot I'm afraid we won't know the outcome until the last round is over.

The current performance of rising star Thiago has fulfilled the SS-level rating in the scouting report and amazed the entire world of football.

Countless wealthy clubs are waving contracts to buy, which is the best explanation.

It's a pity that in the last Champions League game, Wang Po, the thorn in his side, stepped on him and stole the limelight. This bad breath must be released today.

Before the game, Ola made a lot of preparations and plans for this game. For him and his team, this is the decisive battle, and there is no way out.

Two goals and no away goals is a huge advantage for the away team Benfica, but it does not mean that promotion is guaranteed.

The opponent Porto has the absolute strength to make a comeback and should not be taken lightly.

In the league and cup matches before this game, Benfica made a lot of rotations to adjust the main players' condition to the best for this game.

During the pre-match interview session, the reporter stopped Silva, who has been in hot form recently, and asked.

"In this game, are you confident that you can lead the team to defeat Benfica and advance to the next round of the Champions League knockout rounds?"

Silva said with a smile and a relaxed expression, "Of course, I think anyone with a discerning eye can see that Porto is better than Benfica, and it is natural for the strongest team to advance."

"But we lost to Benfica in the last game. Why?" Benfica and team reporters next to them handed over the microphone unconvinced and asked.

Silva tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "Everyone who has watched that game knows that we took the initiative on the field. We shot almost twice as many shots as the opponent. We missed the goal several times. All we can say is We have bad luck, but in this game, I firmly believe that God will be on our side. After all, little tricks like stealing chickens cannot be put on the table. This is the ugly side of football. The promotion of such a team is the best for football. The insult of sport.”

Silva solved the problem without saying anything, and even humiliated the Benfica team with a series of blows.

Another reporter quickly answered his question.

"This game is another confrontation between you and your former teammate Wang Po. How do you feel?"

"Yes, after all, in the last game, your performance was completely inferior to Wang Po."

Benfica and team reporters, who were frustrated by the previous question, did not forget to add fuel to the fire.

Wang Po's name made Silva's face look ugly. He pursed his lips and said, "Oh? Did you say that "traitor"? Just watch, I'll let you see who is the best player in this game. That yellow-skinned boy is not worthy of being compared with me. Maybe table tennis is suitable for him."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the locker room without giving reporters a chance to ask questions again.

As soon as Wang Po got off the team bus, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for him.

"Can you tell me how you feel about this visit to the Dragon Stadium?"

"Well, it's an important game and we're going to give it our all."

Wang Poyan gave a concise and concise answer.

"Just now, Porto's Silva said that Benfica only knows some sneaky offensive tricks. It is an insult to football to allow such a team to advance. They should advance if they are stronger. Regarding this, may I ask? Do you have anything to say in response?"

Hearing this, Wang Po showed a strange expression, shocked that the other party would say such a thing, and muttered, "Football is round. No one knows what the result will be until the game is over. No one stipulates what kind of attack method to use." , will you be banned by UEFA for playing defensive counterattack tactics? (laughs).”

The words fell to the ground, causing the reporters present to burst into laughter.

Wang Po shrugged and continued, "What the other party said is a bit sensational. It's really not worth responding to. What do you think?"

Wang Po's words instantly resolved the tension over the issue, and he also satirized Silva, killing two birds with one stone.

No need to say who the clown is.

Benfica asked the team reporter his question, "So, what do you think of the team's promotion prospects?"

I believe this is the most concerning issue for everyone who cares about the Benfica team, including him.

Wang Po said, "With two goals in hand, our chances are relatively greater. Standing on this court, we are rushing to advance. For me, I can accompany the team in the first season of my career." The Champions League is a dream, and it will be even more wonderful if we can advance to the quarterfinals. In three hours, I think there will be a result. I hope we can open the champagne to celebrate, and you can come together.”

Wang Po's answers were polite and courteous. Compared to Silva's aggressiveness, this oriental-faced person gave reporters a humble and gentlemanly image, making it easy for people to have a good impression of this little guy.

"Thank you for the invitation, we will be on time."

A group of reporters responded with smiles on their faces.

Compared to the relaxed interview session, the atmosphere was completely different after entering the locker room.

Quiet and serious.

Mano explained the tactics of this game to the players in front of the tactical board, as well as the points that need special attention.

Edu, Porto's top scorer, the number one threat, good at heading, played a great role in the center position, and the opponent's entire offensive routine was played around this core.

Silva, Porto's rising star, an all-around midfielder, good at attacking and defending, with excellent ability to go back and forth between the two penalty areas, Porto's midfield dealer, and a unique attack from the back row, is the second biggest threat.

"As long as Edu stands in the penalty area, there must be a central defender to keep an eye on him, and he must stay with him." Mano pointed to the tactical board and emphasized loudly. "Once a central defender is pulled out, the defensive midfielder must sink to the back line to fill the position."

"As for Silva's back row, the defensive midfielder must stand at the top of the penalty area arc, don't give the opponent too many opportunities to grab the second point and organize a second wave of attack, you can run boldly, I will reserve a substitution quota in this position."

"The opponent's left side is a soft spot, which is our focus. Even if there are not many opportunities to attack, we must try to consume the physical energy of the defenders along the way."

Mano, who was thirsty, drank a bottle of mineral water and continued, "After falling behind by two goals, the opponent will definitely attack fiercely at the beginning to grab the start. Guys, you must be mentally prepared, stand in your respective positions, and don't give the opponent too many opportunities to enter the penalty area."
