Chapter 18 Twins in the same city

When Benfica started to lead on the field, they were even less likely to leave any chance for their opponents to turn the tables. Moreover, the guys from the Ferreira team also lost the courage to continue to resist. When the score became 2:1, everything was doomed.

Since the game entered the second half, the Ferreira team had already given up the possibility of attacking, and they were always defending with all their strength. They just wanted to take the victory from the Stadium of Light, but God did not give them this opportunity, or more accurately, Mourinho and Lin Yi did not give them a chance.

When Lin Yi's free kick penetrated the Ferreira team's defense, all the fans who supported the Ferreira team held their heads in despair. They couldn't believe it all. Their team was actually defeated by a 15-year-old kid. God, this is simply crazy!

Want to rely on a striker to equalize the score now? The coach of the Ferreira team has not gone crazy to this extent, although it is often said that losing one is losing, losing two is also losing. But after all, no one wants to see themselves being bloodbathed by others, not to mention that this is still at the home court of the Benfica team.

Attacking with this completely defensive formation? Unless the entire Benfica team leaves the field now, it would be a dream.

The head coach of the Ferreira team is very clear about this. Their goal in the first half was more due to luck and the sluggish mental state of the Benfica team. But when a lion wakes up, you should not expect to snatch victory from its mouth.

With one less player and one goal behind, the coach of the Ferreira team can only choose to continue to defend. He doesn't want to be beaten into a sieve by the Benfica team at the Light Stadium.

Although this scene looks really bad, the Ferreira team has no choice. They can't think of any other way except to resist like this. That damn black-haired boy, maybe more than one supporter of the Ferreira team is cursing like this now.

Although Mourinho hopes to relieve the pressure on the players with a big win, the opponent's refusal to cooperate also makes him helpless.

After all, Ferreira is also a professional team. You have to come out to attack to show that you have resisted before, right? Even if it's a half-time, it's still the same, but the Ferreira team seems to have made up their minds to build a reinforced concrete wall within 40 meters in front of their goal.

If the Ferreira team is now a girl being violated, but her choice is to close her eyes and endure the opponent's brutality instead of desperately calling for help. She didn't even push the opponent to resist, just closed her eyes and endured, or enjoyed it?

The Ferreira team didn't want the score to change anymore. In the last ten minutes, they just wanted to keep this score and leave here. The score of 1:2 is much better than being bloodbathed by these crazy people. After all, not everyone will pay attention to how ugly the Ferreira team is.

Since they are destined to be supporting roles, they don't want to be a particularly tragic supporting role. Being overtaken by others is already a tragedy, and being bloodbathed again? Then the Ferreira team is not a matter of bad luck, they all have to go back and check their character collectively.

The head coach of the Ferreira team did not want to be a footnote in the sports headlines of tomorrow's newspapers. Even if he lost, he did not want to lose so embarrassingly. At least he did not want the score to be so ugly. A one-goal difference was acceptable no matter where he went, although the scene was really unbearable.

The score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the game. Benfica practiced shooting for nearly fifteen minutes. The score was not rewritten thanks to the nine players of the Ferreira team and a goalkeeper who was almost driven crazy by Benfica's shooting. If they had not erected a solid defense line in front of the goal, perhaps the score would have been rewritten by Benfica long ago.

Lin Yi and the offensive players of Benfica did not try to break through the defense, but facing a group of people defending the penalty area, the methods you can come up with are really very limited. Even if you want to pass a fatal ball, there should be at least a gap. This crowd is too solid.

Moreover, Ferreira's team was really lucky. Benfica's two long shots from the perimeter hit the goal post directly, just a hair's breadth away from scoring.

At the end of the game, the goalkeeper of Ferreira hugged the goal post and kissed it a few times. Maybe he was thanking God at this moment.

After the game, the coach of Ferreira even said shamelessly in front of the media that there was nothing wrong with the team's tactical arrangement. It was just that the black-haired kid wearing Benfica's No. 20 jersey changed the course of the game. He didn't lose to Benfica, but to that kid.

Mourinho ignored this statement. He always chose to ignore the words of a defeated general. Is such a bickering interesting?

Moreover, he used such a poor excuse as an excuse for failure, when everyone thought that it was a joke for him to send Lin Yi. Only Mourinho insisted on this decision. He got the most perfect ending. Now there is no need to entangle this issue with such a loser.

"According to Portugal, they brought a bus and parked it sideways in front of the goal. My players tried their best, but Benfica is not a demolition worker. Such excellent defense is not something we can break through." Mourinho flattered his opponent.

In fact, Mourinho's subtext is easy to understand. You, the shameless old man, have almost blocked the goal tightly. How can I kick it in?

The game is lost, so why do you, a defeated general, have so much nonsense? If you hadn't been guarding the goal for 15 minutes in the backcourt, the score would still be unknown. Don't be so arrogant when you are given some sunshine. Do you understand the principle of leaving a line for others?

Although Mourinho didn't have to respond too much to the words of the head coach of Ferreira's team, his one or two words could already hurt the other party's nerves. There was no way, because you were the loser on the field. For a loser, you can never have the right to speak.

But now Mourinho has to deal with not that poor guy, because there are too many reporters gathered in front of him. All the questions are directed at him, and he must deal with the bombardment of the entire group of reporters at the same time, which makes Mourinho's scalp a little numb.

Of course, the core of all these questions is not only to let him talk about the current situation of Benfica and his plans for future games, but also other things.

It's all about Lin Yi. Everyone knows that it was the boy who turned around Benfica's passive situation after he came on the field. Everyone wants to know more about the boy. Not only do they want to know, but those crazy fans are the ones who want to know everything the most.

Maybe now these reporters are regretting why they didn't start collecting the background information of the little guy earlier, so that now they are at a loss. All sources of information must be provided by Mourinho. Everyone knows how difficult this guy is.

But Mourinho didn't intend to tell them everything. Except for some information about Lin Yi's training with the Benfica youth team, he wouldn't say anything more. There is no need to let the media publicize the intelligence of his players. Lin Yi must now be a surprise attack for Mourinho.

But after such a game, Lin Yi's name will definitely resound throughout Portugal. At least the whole of Lisbon will be shocked by the performance of such a little guy on the field. It is basically impossible to keep it secret. Mourinho knows this very well.

But Mourinho still hopes that this little guy can slow down the time it takes for him to enter the opponent's sight. In the case of Benfica's serious lack of offensive players, Mourinho still needs this kid to continue to create miracles for the team on the field.

If Lin Yi is studied by the opponent too early, Mourinho's life will not be too easy. The earlier the fame is, the better.

Although those reporters will curse Mourinho's confidentiality behind his back, this will not stop them from continuing to dig up the black-haired boy's affairs.

The media with a wide network of contacts have already spread their nets. What they want is first-hand information, no matter what aspect of Lin Yi.

Even if you can provide the newspaper with the size of Lin Yi's underwear, they will give you enough compensation as soon as possible. News reports are about time. Few people want to read outdated news. Everyone starts to get busy for this black-haired boy.

A mixed-race orphan, who spent five years alone in the church, participated in the youth team of Serbatur, performed well in the training match with Sporting Lisbon, and once contributed 4 assists in the match with Lisbon, all these things began to appear on the desks of editors-in-chief of various media.

Now the task of the media is actually very simple. They are responsible for stringing together these collected stories. No matter how true the story is, the key is that someone likes to read it. The sales of newspapers is the only criterion for measuring the value of a news.

Their task is to print out these piles of news and sell them to readers. Anyway, everyone has the psychology of gossip, but now readers want whose gossip, which is the most important thing. Everything about the black-haired boy will become the secret that others want to know most.

Maybe these stories are not very attractive to ordinary readers, but this is another difficult growth history of a young player.

But for Benfica supporters, this is undoubtedly a report with obvious emotional tendency, because the boy once severely taught Sporting Lisbon a lesson on the court, even if it was only a youth team game.

There is nothing more satisfying than defeating the opponent in a derby. The feud between Benfica and Sporting has long been a part of the city's history. There is no match in Portugal that can replace the clash between the two teams.

Even the confrontation between Porto and them cannot be more intense than the clash between the two teams. This is a hatred that has accumulated for decades.

If Lin Yi conquered the tens of thousands of Benfica fans in the Stadium of Light with two beautiful assists in the match against Ferreira, then now he is fully qualified to be promoted to the new darling of this team.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, because Lin Yi once defeated Sporting Lisbon in the game, and he defeated the opponent very beautifully. Those crazy Benfica fans seem to have seen the hope of overthrowing the old opponent.

Now there is no discussion about whether this kid should be promoted to the first team of Benfica. If someone still laughs at the black-haired kid in the bar at this time, he will definitely be thrown out of the bar.

"An unexpected result, but not bad. It saves us a lot of trouble, doesn't it?" Mourinho looked at the large-scale bombardment reports on Lin Yi in the newspapers and has now become accustomed to it.

This result is actually good. At least no one will point at his nose and say that the boy is his illegitimate child, and no one will call him an idiot.

The media is like this, they will never remember what they said in the last second. Mourinho has gradually become calm.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was intentional. When Lin Yi's name began to appear everywhere on the streets of Lisbon, another name that sounded a little unfamiliar also began to make a name for itself in the football circle of Lisbon.

The day after Benfica defeated Ferreira 2:1, the old rival Sporting Lisbon also defeated Boavista 3:1, and they also had a novice in this game.

That guy was also selected from the youth team of Sporting Lisbon this summer. He was the last batch of students led by Aurelio Pereira. He was called the future of Sporting Lisbon. That guy is: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Unlike Lin Yi's two assists, the guy named Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon scored two goals in the game. He also won the crazy cheers of the fans of Sporting Lisbon. Sporting Lisbon seemed to be demonstrating to Benfica in this way.

Don't think that only you have the future. We are the same. The young people who belong to their respective teams now seem to have begun to emerge.

Two former opponents in the same city began to come into people's sight. Some people also said that this is the twin stars of the city of Lisbon, but their destiny is not to shine on each other, but to shine brighter than each other.

Lin Yi, Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems that football in Lisbon was occupied by young people overnight.

Maybe they will be opponents in the future? Who knows, maybe we will know when they meet.

The last time was a draw, and no one knows the outcome of the next time. . .
