Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 60 Naturalization

Benfica has only the last 5 minutes left to advance to the semi-finals.

I wish time passed faster.

All those who support the Benfica team have a profound understanding of what it means to be like a year in a second.

Every minute and every second is a huge torture.

Everyone was staring attentively at the ball rolling on the turf.

There were only 10 seconds left before the end of the game, and the referee had already put the spoon in his mouth and looked down at his watch.

Dortmund was still organizing its last attack.

The left winger made continuous fake moves in an attempt to break through. Jim, who was back on defense, was young and inexperienced, so he was deceived into a foul by the opponent.

"beep"

The whistle blew and a free kick was taken from outside the penalty area and 37 meters away from the goal.

"Idiot, unnecessary foul."

On the sidelines, Mano jumped angrily and couldn't help but curse.

The opponent's offensive players had no way of posing a threat to the goal, and instead took the initiative to commit fouls.

Now, the desperate Dortmund team, including the goalkeeper, swarmed into Benfica's penalty area.

Every inch of land must be fought for.

Squeezing each other, fighting for position, the air is suffocating.

Being in it, Wang Po's brain went blank due to lack of oxygen. This was probably the feeling of being extremely nervous.

"beep"

The referee blows the whistle for kick-off.

The ball kicked out by the Dortmund team was high and floating. Everyone was crowded together and couldn't jump at all. There was a melee in the penalty area.

In the chaos, a Dortmund player jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal.

Then, the entire Stadium of Light fell into deathly silence.

Wang Po sat down on the ground, his whole body weak. In his sight was the scene of the Dortmund team's revelry, but there was no sound in his ears.

Killed.

Benfica fell after all, and Dortmund passed the test with the advantage of away goals and advanced to the next round of the European war.

Loss, regret, unwillingness.

Various emotions surged into his heart, and Wang Po lay on the turf for a long time, unwilling to get up.

Cried, cried silently.

Tears flowed out of my eyes unconsciously, tears at the Stadium of Light.

Wang Po will never forget this feeling.

“Stand up and do it again next year.”

It was Gomez, the big brother, who helped Wang Po and his teammates back to the locker room.

Even though Wang Po, who scored twice, won the MVP of this game, he was not in the mood to be interviewed.

Personal honor is nothing compared to team victory.

Even so, Wang Po's goal that traveled thousands of miles alone still flooded the entire Internet the next day.

Countless people exclaimed, "New Ronaldo, new Pele, new Maradona", all kinds of praises fell from the sky, and the football circle marveled at Wang Po's performance.

Of course, precisely because of Wang Po's continued outstanding performance in the European war, his worth has risen to 30 million euros in the latest Dezhuan worth list.

In the list, a familiar name is also seen below Wang Po's ranking, Silva.

A series of unfavorable public opinions put him in trouble. The off-field turmoil made the former Portuguese Super League player exhausted, resulting in poor on-field form and a plummeting performance. Now his worth is only a pitiful 7 million euros, which has shrunk by nearly 10%. ten times.

Of course, his current salary has been reduced again and again by the Porto team.

After all, the Jan-Jack incident has not yet been finalized. Once it is confirmed, based on Silva's experience, it is not ruled out that he will be suspended by the league. At that time, it will not be a few games or a few months, but a year. For the unit, even a lifetime ban is not uncommon.

It's the end just after the starting point. It's sad that the once genius and future star declines so quickly.

Of course, no one will sympathize with such a player. He is despised by the entire circle for ruining his job and is completely self-inflicted.

At the same time, Jim fell into endless cyber violence.

There is always a scapegoat when losing, and Jim's stupid foul gave Dortmund a chance to win. Naturally, he received the most criticism and abuse.

Some fans even chanted "Go back to the second tier, you don't deserve to play for Benfica."

Fans are outraged and radical.

When you win, enjoy the cheers, and when you lose, be prepared to be scolded.

Going from heaven to hell does not need to be a complicated process.

The huge pressure of public opinion put Jim in a dilemma.

This has caused a lot of psychological pressure on the players themselves. They dare not go out or train and hide in their rooms. The psychiatrist diagnosed them with mild depression.

For a time, the entire club was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Even though a week has passed since the European war, every time Wang Po calms down, he still thinks about every detail of that game, frame by frame passing through his mind like a movie.

Wang Po's fists clenched involuntarily every time he thought about the last winning goal.

In the end, Wang Po could only vent his regret through training.

One day during the offseason, Benfica's transfer director Tom and a capable middle-aged man wearing a black suit found Wang Po.

When he saw the man in a suit, Hamburger's eyes lit up and he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Wang Po, let me introduce to you, Mr. Hansbrough, the head of the Portuguese Football Association." Tom pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Hansbrough." Wang Po shook hands with the other party in confusion.

"I think Mr. Hamburg should know the purpose of my trip." Hansbrough raised his head and looked at Hamburg and said.

Hearing this, Hamburger nodded and said, "I can probably guess it."

Wang Po was confused by these words.

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't hide it, I'll just say it directly." Hansbrough grinned and said, "Actually, I'm here this time for Wang Po."

"I?"

"Yes, I hope you can become a Portuguese national and compete for Portugal in the World Cup."

Hansbrough nodded.

Be regulated!

This news shocked Wang Po. It was an area he had never considered.

"Why?" Wang Po shrugged, his face full of disbelief.

Hansbrough, Hamburg, and Tom looked at each other and smiled, and said, "This is only good for you. First of all, you will gain greater exposure. Secondly, you will have the opportunity to compete in the European Cup and World Cup. This will make your value skyrocket, make it easier to get big contracts, and join the top five leagues."

"I think the premise of all this is that I have enough strength to enter the Portuguese national team."

Wang Po sneered in his heart, this Mr. Hansbrough really made a big pie.

"Of course, if you follow your current development trajectory, I think it will not be a problem to enter the Portuguese national team. We also need talents like you." Hansbrough continued. "I wonder if you have any idea of ​​joining us?"

"It is true that it is my dream to join one of the five major leagues and appear in the World Cup. I can give up my nationality at the cost of it. Sorry, I can't." Wang Po shook his head and said without even thinking about it.
