Football No. 10: God's Perspective
Chapter 66 Fierce Confrontation
In any occasion and under any circumstances, Wang Po has confirmed his statement that he is now a member of the Benfica team.
As for the future, who knows?
The most important task at the moment is to help the team achieve good results.
Porto, which performed strongly last season, suffered a disastrous defeat against Benfica in the second half of the season. The whole team, from the management to the fans, was holding their breath.
This season, the team has made further reinforcements on the basis of the championship lineup, and its strength has steadily improved. It vowed to defeat the visiting Benfica team at the Dragon Stadium.
Before the game, Porto's top management even offered a special bonus of up to 3 million euros for this national derby.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
Porto's top management hopes to motivate the players in this way to fight hard and avenge the defeat.
Compared with the wealthy Porto team, Benfica does not have such a big hand.
However, the confrontation between the two sides has never required mobilization.
When mortal enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.
In addition, Benfica is currently ranked first in the standings. They want to expand their lead over Porto through this six-point battle. From top to bottom, the team has not relaxed at all.
In this game, head coach Mano also used the strongest lineup.
Wang Po, who returned to the team, started the game, and Gomez led the front line.
Little black winger Jim was on the bench.
"Beep"
A whistle sounded, and the game began.
With the help of the home court, Porto launched an attack.
Both Silva and Porto's new midfielder showed super personal ability.
Benfica's midfield has very limited restrictions on the two players with outstanding personal abilities.
You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a ladder over the wall.
Porto relies on personal ability, and Benfica's skilled teamwork is also lethal.
With the help of his teammates, Wang Po fought against two masters in the opponent's midfield alone, and quickly passed the midfield with three passes and two falls.
Wang Po controlled the ball on the team's side through a lot of off-ball running, support, and connection.
As the game progressed, the number of individual individual efforts of Porto's midfield increased, and their physical strength was seriously consumed.
One side gained while the other lost.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Benfica once again demonstrated its strong passing and control ability.
With Wang Po as the core, Porto did not touch the ball in 5 minutes.
This made the Porto fans who cheered and shouted in the whole stadium very dissatisfied and booed.
Under the ball control situation, Porto shrank comprehensively, the front line was flattened, the space was reduced, and the goal was tightly wrapped.
The transfer of the two flanks, the back row of the ribs, and even the penetration of the middle could not break through this tight defense.
This kind of dense defense was practiced by Porto before the game, specifically to deal with Benfica's passing and control.
Wang Po got the ball in the middle, and Porto's defense line did not rush to grab it, just stood in their respective defensive positions, and did not give you the space and route for deep passes.
The ball went back and forth for about a minute, and there was no good opportunity.
To break the dense defense, variables are needed.
On the one hand, there are set pieces, and on the other hand, there are local explosion points.
Taking advantage of the support positions of his teammates around him to attract the attention of Porto's defense, Wang Po suddenly accelerated and broke through the penalty area.
Over time, it seems that Wang Po can only assist the ball, ignoring his strong personal footwork.
With a simple change of direction, he easily broke through Porto's back waist defense line, faced the back line, and pulled the ball to the right continuously. The opposing central defender just moved sideways in small steps, and there was no intention of thousands of interference and blocking, cutting off the passing route and preventing Wang Po from suddenly suing.
Sensing the opponent's intention, Wang Po reacted very quickly. The third time he pulled the ball a little farther, he created a shooting space, and tapped the ball with his toes, just like playing golf.
A low ball went through the crotch of the central defender and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
There were many people in the penalty area, and it was a shot with very little movement to get rid of it. The goalkeeper couldn't react at all and watched the ball go into the net.
0 to 1.
Benfica, playing away, took the lead at the Dragon Stadium.
The goal was scored by Wang Po, known as the Porto killer.
This name is simply the nightmare of all Porto fans and is lingering.
In an instant, the Dragon Stadium fell into silence, which was terrifyingly quiet.
Looking back at the whole process of the goal, it was a complete display of Wang Po's personal ability. In front of him, Porto's defensive players were no different from wooden stakes, and basically did not play any restrictive role.
"Once again, Wang Po has made his old club Porto suffer again and again. I don't know if their boss Costa regrets agreeing to sell this player now. If it were me, I'm afraid I would regret it."
The commentator in front of the TV undoubtedly sprinkled salt on Porto's wounds.
Pain on pain.
At the end of the first half, Benfica entered the locker room with a one-goal advantage.
As the core, Wang Po's performance in the first half was impeccable, and he was not affected by the previous public opinion storm at all, and his state was still vigorous.
The speed of a train depends on the locomotive.
Wang Po's presence helped Benfica find its backbone. All the players returned to their high spirits at the beginning of the season. They handled the ball more clearly and became more confident in one-on-one actions compared to the game when Wang Po was absent.
The second half began after the change of sides.
At halftime, Porto emphasized tough defense.
At the beginning, Porto's players put all their efforts into strength and physical competition. The original technical confrontation scene suddenly changed into a martial arts arena. The two sides collided and strangled each other with strength, and people and horses were thrown to the ground.
The referee's whistle continued, and 5 yellow cards were taken out just 10 minutes into the second half.
Even so, the hot scene did not ease, but intensified.
Wang Po took the ball in the midfield, and was greeted by an unkind evil wind. Looking up, it was Silva's sliding tackle with both feet off the ground.
This was a red card action, and Wang Po jumped up for the purpose of protecting himself.
Even so, he was still scratched by the opponent's studs and fell to the ground in pain.
However, the referee did not make any statement on this and signaled the game to continue.
This attracted protests from the generals and coaches of the Benfica team.
For this, Mano and Gomez also paid the price of yellow cards.
Wang Pei's injury was not serious, just some skin injuries. After a simple treatment by the team doctor, he stood up again and joined the battle.
The referee's indulgence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The players on both sides seemed to have lost their minds.
4 minutes later, Gomez responded to Silva with the same action. The latter covered his ankle in pain, rolled on the ground desperately, his face full of painful expressions, and let out a shrill howl.
Just a moment ago, he clearly heard the sound of broken bones.
