Football No. 10: God's Perspective

One of the most representative performances of a football player's football IQ is running without the ball.

Excellent running without the ball can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This requires a strong ability to read the game.

In the darkness, Wang Po's appearance brought a ray of light to Jim.

No one on the Dortmund team noticed Wang Po's insertion in the back row. Unattended, he received Jim's pass very comfortably.

Another central defender quickly stepped forward to block, the right back replaced and focused on Gomez, and the defensive midfielder stood in the middle to cut off the connection between Wang Po and the big center forward.

The opponent's defensive thinking was very clear and correct. Wang Po moved the ball horizontally in small steps, observing the changes in Dortmund's defense line.

This was a psychological game between Wang Po and the opponent's defenders to see who could not hold on first and exposed a flaw.

When Wang Po brought the ball to a 60-degree angle, finally, the central defender and the defensive midfielder of Dortmund rushed at the same time.

Here it comes.

Wang Po faked a dribble with the outside of his foot to pass the rushing central defender. Taking advantage of the unstable center of gravity of the back midfielder, he took two steps sideways, swung his legs, and pushed the ball with the arch of his foot.

The ball hit the opposite corner of the goal like a sword.

1 to 1.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Wang Po equalized the score for Benfica with his personal ability.

The Stadium of Light was in a carnival.

The fans of Benfica were boiling.

This was an emotion that had been suppressed for more than an hour, and it was released like a flood at this moment. There were even fanatical fans who took off their shirts and ran into the stadium regardless of the security's obstruction and punishment, hugged Wang Po's neck tightly, and shouted wildly to celebrate.

Mano excitedly drank a whole bottle of mineral water in his hand.

Still Wang Po, still the No. 80 player of Benfica.

The savior of Benfica, the real god of the Stadium of Light.

From the launch of the attack to the final end of the attack, it all came from one person, Wang Po.

The commentator in front of the TV couldn't help but sigh, "Did you see it? At this moment, God is wearing the No. 80 jersey and interpreting the sport of football for us. Thank God."

Tuchel, the head coach of Dortmund, who witnessed Wang Po's goal on the spot, grinned, spread his hands, and shook his head frequently.

Wang Po's personal ability can't be restricted at all. He is helpless.

Too strong.

In the end, Tuchel put his expectant eyes on a box in the VIP seats of the stadium, where transfer director Zorc sat.

The desire for Wang Po is already written on his face. If Wang Po joins the current lineup, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. He is confident that he can lead the team to the top four of the Champions League.

The 1-1 draw put the two teams back on the same starting line again.

There are 30 minutes left in the game. For Benfica and Dortmund, they need to be cautious. If the team loses the ball first at this stage, they will face a catastrophe.

Stabilize the defense and try to attack.

This is the consensus between Mano and Tuchel.

30 minutes into the final battle, the two sides began to test each other between offense and defense.

No one dared to attack in a big way, and even Tuchel's team gave up the pressure on Benfica's back line, and the formation curled up to fight Benfica's counterattack.

Without the pressure in the front court, Benfica's formation was able to unfold, but because the core of the organization Wang Po fell on the back line, the ball didn't know how to play when it reached the front court, and often completed the ball possession conversion inexplicably.

As for Jim's speed, with the contraction of Dortmund's defense line, there was no sprint space, resulting in no room for play. He could only rely on Gomez's bridgehead role to attack the Hornets' goal Venus piecemeal.

However, this kind of offensive method is no more threatening than tickling, and it can't pose a substantial threat to the goal at all.

Looking at the team's poor performance on the offensive end, Mano's face was full of helplessness. Now he can only count on Wang Po's star moment.

Wang Po saw the performance of the frontcourt attack, and he knew that he should do something for the striker.

Wang Po, who received the goal ball on the back line, looked up and saw that Dortmund did not form a double-team. The front was flat, and Dortmund's defensive players stood in their respective defensive positions, waiting for him to pass the ball to the frontcourt and then defend.

Immediately, Wang Po made up his mind and abandoned the idea of ​​advancing layer by layer. He took the ball to the opponent's half alone, and no one stopped him during the period.

It was about to enter Dortmund's 40-meter offensive area.

Dortmund's midfielder discovered this hidden danger and rushed forward to grab the ball.

Wang Po's beautiful fried meatballs wiped out the opponent's defense.

At the same time, Jim had begun to run without the ball, pinning down the opponent's side defenders.

Gomez, the big center forward, suppressed Dortmund's back line, so that its two central defenders did not dare to rush to grab the ball.

In this way, within this range, Wang Po only needs to deal with the opponent's central midfielder and two midfielders.

After passing one, there was still the central midfielder chasing after him and the defensive midfielder blocking the ball route.

With the outside of his foot, Wang Po accelerated and dribbled the ball without any hesitation.

Realizing the threat, the Dortmund defensive midfielder did not dare to slack off, gave up his original position, came close to intercept.

Wang Po and the opponent's defensive midfielder had a physical confrontation, and the strength and physical confrontation competed in the speed.

In the end, Wang Po was one step ahead, using his speed to get rid of the opponent's entanglement and face the defensive line directly.

Continuous pendulums, testing the opponent's center of gravity, suddenly, the ball was pulled horizontally, and the opponent quickly kicked. Who knows, this is just a trap set by Wang Po to deceive the center of gravity. He was already prepared, and pushed his left foot to complete the second change of direction, passing the central defender who came up.

Such continuous changes of direction are dazzling and unconnected.

So much so that the commentator on the scene couldn't help but sigh "This is a high-level move at the level of the king of football!"

21 meters away from the goal, there is already space for shooting. Wang Po has no hesitation, straightened his instep, and kicked a burst of shots, breaking the Dortmund goal for Benfica for the second time.

2 to 1.

Wang Po completed a brace, and more importantly, Benfica has an advantage in this series of knockout games.

Guangming Stadium is boiling.

"Wang Po, Wang Po"

The fans shouted the name of the goal hero, resounding throughout the city.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the stadium trembled, and it directly touched people's hearts.

There are only 5 minutes left before the end of the game.

Mano exhaled fiercely. At this moment, he felt extremely wonderful, but his identity as a coach required him to remain calm at all times. Therefore, he quickly suppressed this excitement and quickly invested in the team's defensive deployment.

No one is allowed to attack across half court. All players must defend and hold on to the score advantage.

This was the first instruction Mano gave to the players.
