Football No. 10: God's Perspective

The league championship is not the end of this season.

Five days later, the Portuguese Cup final arrived.

The opponent in the final was the mortal enemy Porto. Compared with the last league match, this cup match was much less popular and less talked about.

First, Wang Pei was seriously injured and Silva was suspended, which lacked topic focus.

Second, Porto was no longer the same at this time. The meritorious coach Aola was terminated at the end of the league, and now the temporary coach of the echelon is just leading the team in training.

Moreover, this season, Porto was completely suppressed in both the league and European war results, and the fans here no longer had the ambition to compete.

At the beginning of the game, Benfica showed strong aggressiveness and fighting spirit.

In just 10 minutes, Gomez scored a goal, and then 37, 61, 74, 89 Benfica scored four more goals, and finally slaughtered the old rival Porto with a score of 5-0.

A hearty victory, this should be the biggest score difference in the history of the two sides.

After the game, Wang Pei joined the carnival team, wore the championship medal, and raised the championship trophy.

The first season of Wang Pei's career ended, and he won the league and cup double championship. The only regret was that he could not play in the last few rounds of the league and cup finals due to injury.

Damn injury.

The team took a nine-week holiday, and all the players began to enter a happy holiday.

Wang Pei is still in a long recovery period.

After 5 weeks, the plaster was finally removed, and under the guidance of the club's rehabilitation physician, Wang Pei began recovery training.

Dormitory, training ground, two points every day.

Hamburg, rehabilitation therapist, basically these two people are seen every day.

Injury recovery is a painful and boring process, and it is also a torment and tempering for the athlete's mentality.

During the recovery process, Wang Pei's confidence was sometimes shaken. Is he really okay?

Annie took advantage of the holiday to fly thousands of miles to Portugal.

After a year of absence, Annie has grown up to be a beautiful lady.

For Wang Po, his girlfriend is an angel. With Annie's company, the two of them went in and out of the training ground and dormitory as a pair. Wang Po felt warm because of her meticulous care.

The reexamination results three weeks later showed that the recovery was good, which was faster than expected.

This is good news.

The bad news is that Annie's vacation is over and she has to go back to school.

Before leaving, Annie prepared a special gift for Wang Po.

Under the exquisite packaging, there is a pure white box with a hand-painted love pattern by Annie. When the box is opened, there are Nike Magistrate's first-generation first-color SG spikes inside.

Wang Po was very surprised. This is the gift he wanted most.

When this pair of sneakers came on the market, he was attracted by its high appearance, not to mention the foot feel. Due to his limited money, he could only hide his love in his heart. When he became a professional athlete, this model had been out of print and discontinued.

It costs a lot to get such a pair of sneakers, especially the gold size, which is enough for Wang Po to buy three pairs.

For this gift, Annie used her spare time to secretly work in a restaurant to earn money. She spent a lot of effort and spent 500 euros to get it, which was full of heart.

Annie's own name was embroidered on the heel of the sneakers. The little girl used it to declare her sovereignty. Seeing this, Wang Po couldn't help but smile.

A kiss is another gift from Annie to Wang Po.

Wang Po stood for a long time watching Annie's plane disappear in the distant sky.

"Why? Can't bear to part with it?"

Hamburger came from a distance and said.

Wang Po nodded.

Hamburger put his arm around Wang Po's shoulders and grinned, "It's a good girl, but, man, I need to remind you that the new season will start in four weeks, and your recovery training needs to be accelerated."

"Of course!"

The approaching new season is a huge pressure for Wang Po. He is eager to return to the court, but his damn right ankle still tortures him.

Head coach Mano sent a text message, meaning that he would leave a place for Wang Po, and Wang Po should recover at ease and not think too much.

Teammates also sent encouragement, looking forward to Wang Po's early return to the court.

…

Defending champion Benfica is regarded as the top favorite to win the championship in the new season. The club has formulated a plan for the team to defend the league and cup, as well as the goal of breaking through the quarterfinals in the European war.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.

In terms of the overall lineup, compared with last season, Benfica did not have too many personnel reinforcements. On the contrary, the main players are one year older, and Wang Po is seriously injured. You know, last season, Benfica was able to reverse the decline and suppress Porto. A large part of the reason was that Wang Po was introduced in the second transfer. After adapting to the rhythm of the professional league, he ushered in a wave of outbreaks, enriched Mano's tactical system, and activated the state of the entire team. Otherwise, it is still unknown who will win the league championship.

Moreover, in the summary at the end of last season, fans and media voted that Wang Po was regarded as the most successful signing of Benfica in the past ten years.

The outside world unanimously believes that how much Wang Po recovers from his injury in the new season will largely determine Benfica's performance this year.

Porto, the old rival with a change of head coach, is the second favorite. They spent a huge amount of money to introduce a national team-level left back, making up for the team's chronic illness in recent years. The lineup has been steadily improving and is the biggest challenger for Benfica.

Of course, Porto also has its own hidden dangers. The new coach Ilo is not as famous as the old coach Ola. The two have completely different tactical concepts. Whether Porto can complete the tactical change in the new season will determine the team's performance.

Not only that, there is another bad news for Porto.

The team's midfield core Silva asked the club to increase his salary to 5 million euros.

What is the concept? The starting salary of giant clubs such as Real Madrid is only this number. Giving this salary to the second-year young players will not only destroy the team's salary structure, but also risk detonating the locker room.

What's more, Porto is not as big as Real Madrid, so it naturally rejected the request for a salary increase.

In the following time, under the operation of Zhan-Jack, Silva asked the club's top management for a transfer. Not only that, the media broke the news that Silva frequently had scandals with the five major league teams, and even some giant teams had made substantial offers.

This made the club's top management and fans very annoyed, but they could do nothing about it.

The transfer farce is like a palace drama, and it is getting more and more intense as the new season approaches.

From the club's perspective, selling Silva at this time will do more harm than good.

First of all, the transfer fee will definitely not meet the club's expectations. Secondly, the new coach Ilo's tactics are completely built around Silva. Once he leaves, the system will collapse and the results will inevitably plummet.

Shit-flavored chocolate or chocolate-flavored shit.

In the end, in the negotiations between the club's top management, players, and agents, the Porto club had to make concessions and agreed to Silva's salary increase request with a pinch of the nose.
