Get full strength at the beginning, overpowering Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi

Speaking of Benfica, we have to mention an interesting story about their team.

Of course, this is a fun thing for others, but for the people of Benfica, it is a huge headache for them.

This incident is the legendary”Gutman” curse.

Gutman is a Hungarian head coach who led Benfica to win the European Cup for two consecutive years in 1961 and 1962.

After leading the team to successfully defend the title in 1962, Gutman asked Benfica’s board of directors for a salary increase.

Unexpectedly, he was ruthlessly rejected by the stingy board of directors.

This made Gutman quite dissatisfied.

So when he left the team, he cursed:”Not in a hundred years from now willBenfica ever win a European Cup.”

No one expected that Gutman His venting turned out to be a prophecy.

Since then, Benfica has reached the Champions League finals five times and the UEFA Cup finals once, but lost all of them.

In the 1960s, Benfica reached five Champions League finals. The first two were consecutive championships under the leadership of Gutman, and the next three were with AC Milan, the”Great International Era” and Manchester United 10 years after the Munich air disaster.

Since then, Benfica also reached the Champions League finals in the 1987-88 season and 1989-1990 season.

However, they all failed.

The two winners were PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1990 Champions League final, Benfica’s legendary superstar Eusebio went to Gutmann’s grave to pray before the game, but Benfica still lost 0-1 to the Rossoneri.

In addition, Benfica also reached the final of the 1983 UEFA Cup, but ultimately lost 1-2 to Anderlecht.

Apart from these, only Lin Rui knows that this season, Benfica will meet Chelsea in the UEFA Cup final. In the end, Benfica lost 1 to 2 to Chelsea and missed the championship again.

After this in the 2013-14 season, Benfica once again reached the Europa League final, but this time they still failed to win the championship. They missed two consecutive penalty kicks in the penalty shootout and were defeated with a score of 2 to 4. Sevilla overturned.

Until 2023, before Lin Rui traveled through time, Benfica still failed to break the”Gutman” curse.

It has been 60 years since Gutman issued the curse.

And looking at the situation, this curse will continue.

I just don’t know if those Benfica directors who rejected Gutman’s request for a salary increase would regret it if they knew what happened next.

And now this cursed team is encountered by Atletico Madrid.

This made the entire Atletico Madrid team shout bad luck.

Because this was the semifinals, Benfica was not cursed in the semifinals.

And the opponent’s semi-final results have always been good.

Because if there is really a curse, then letting the opponent enter the finals, letting them gain hope, and then destroying this hope is in line with the purpose of the curse.

If this is the case, then Benfica’s opponent in the semi-finals will be more dangerous.

So when the entire Atletico Madrid team knew that their semi-final opponent was Benfica, they all looked solemn.

“Why not let us meet Benfica again in the final? If we meet them in the finals, we don’t have to worry at all. Maybe they can win even with a substitute lineup.”

Keke, who lived in the same room as Lin Rui, complained to Lin Rui during the break.

Lin Rui could only smile.

He didn’t really believe in these ghosts and ghosts.

The team’s Results ultimately depend on strength.

But in this atmosphere, the players’ mentality will inevitably be affected.

If the game goes well, it’s fine. If the game falls into a passive situation, the players are likely to fail. Will lose fighting spirit because of the fatalistic statement.

If that happens, it will be more troublesome.

Thinking of this situation, Lin Rui couldn’t help but become a little worried.

Then he rolled his eyes, turned to Kirk and said:”Don’t worry , Cork, I have already arranged Benfica using our ancient Eastern secrets, so don’t worry.”

Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Kirk suddenly jumped up from the bed, looked at Lin Rui with wide eyes and said:”Lin, are you serious? Is there really an Eastern secret?”

Koke was a little skeptical.

“Cork, you have to believe me, there are a lot of secrets in our country. It’s not something you foreigners can understand.”

Lin Rui continued to cheat.

“So can you demonstrate it to me? I’m very interested in this.”Koke said expectantly

“this……”Lin Rui was speechless for a moment.

“how? Can’t demonstrate? Or are you kidding me?”Koke’s face was full of doubts.

“That’s not true, but after I demonstrate it to you, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, I understand. I promise not to tell anyone else. Come on and demonstrate it to me.”Koke swore to the sky.

After receiving Kirk’s guarantee, Lin Rui had no choice but to get off the bed.

He walked to the middle of the room and stood still, then closed his eyes, raised his right hand, pinched his middle finger and ring finger, and stretched out the other three fingers. , make mudras, and then start chanting something.

“Heaven Lingling, Earth Lingling, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Master, please appear soon. Bless me with Atletico Madrid’s victory over Benfica”

…………

Lin Rui chanted it three times before opening his eyes and stopping his gesture.

After a moment, he looked at the confused Kirk next to him and said,”Okay!”

Kirk just woke up from a dream. He grabbed Lin Rui’s sleeves excitedly and said,”Lin, just now What are you talking about? Is it a spell?”

Lin Rui just chanted it in Mandarin, so Kirk thought it was some mysterious spell.

Lin Rui was too lazy to explain, nodded and said:”Yes, it’s a spell. I have already communicated it with the gods in China. They will bless us.””

“so cool! Lin, can you teach me this spell? It sounds very powerful.”Koke’s eyes were full of expectations.

However, Lin Rui shook his head and refused:”No, we pass the ball inside and not outside. Moreover, as a foreigner, it is useless for you to learn the spells of our Chinese country. Our gods do not bless foreigners. Lin

Rui said seriously.

“Oh, what a shame!”Koke couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes.

It seemed that he really wanted to learn.

But soon, Kirk became excited again.

“With the blessing of the spell, we no longer need to be afraid of Benfica.”
