It has to be said that as a gold medal agent, Jan-Jack is very good at using the transfer deadline to put pressure on the Porto club and force it to comply.

When major media announced that Porto had signed a new contract with the nearly 17-year-old rising star Silva with an annual salary of 5 million euros, which broke the salary structure, the entire football circle was in an uproar.

5 million euros per year is the highest salary in the Portuguese Super League, and even if it is placed in the top five league giants, it is also the main force level.

You should know that Silva is just a second-year rookie. With an annual salary of 5 million euros, Porto really spent a lot of money.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just the beginning. Jan-Jack is not a good man. His greed is well known.

This offseason, Silva and his agent made a lot of headlines.

The farce finally came to an end before the start of the new season. Porto will fight for the championship.

Injuries are not only physical and mental torture for athletes, but also a huge blow to their mentality and spirit.

Fortunately, Annie's company helped Wang Po regain his confidence.

The injury has recovered well, and the postoperative rehabilitation exercise has progressed rapidly.

Before the start of the new season, Wang Pei has already started the power confrontation phase, and the time to return to the court is getting closer and closer.

As the defending champion, Benfica has shown its kingly style in the new season. In the first seven rounds of the league, it has a strong unbeaten record of six wins and one draw, occupying the top position.

After the change of coach and salary increase, Porto followed closely with 5 wins and 2 draws, 2 points behind.

The two sides will meet in the eighth round of the league.

Porto will host the visiting Benfica team at the Dragon Stadium.

The pain of the championship, the revenge of the double kill.

The grievances between the two teams last season continue to be written this season.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides opened the battle and launched a big attack.

After strengthening the defensive weakness of the left back, Porto can attack recklessly. Silva is not at all inferior to Riise and other Benfica midfielders in the midfield. Several passes have caused the Benfica goal to be in a state of panic.

The passing and control system created by Porto's new coach Ilo is like a precision instrument, which is linked together and constantly pulls and tears the Benfica defense line.

The midfield was lost, and the Benfica team missed the No. 80 player who was recovering from the injury.

The young are afraid of the strong. After 75 minutes of stalemate, Riise, who is one year older, showed fatigue in the midfield, and could only take care of one of the offense and defense.

The head coach Mano on the sidelines saw this and his face was full of helplessness. The team did not carry out large-scale reinforcements during the offseason. Looking at the bench, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.

Goal.

Silva scored a super world wave from 35 meters outside the penalty area to break the Benfica goal and take the lead.

The Dragon Stadium was boiling.

The Porto fans who had been suppressed for a year released wildly and shouted.

After losing the ball, Benfica launched a counterattack at all costs. The back was empty, and Silva seized the opportunity again, speeding up the counterattack and volleying in the small penalty area to score, completing the game's double goal.

The score of 2-0 was finally maintained until the end.

After this game, major sports media used a series of eye-catching headlines on the front page: The King Returns, the Defending Champion Lost in the Dragon Stadium...

Throughout the game, Benfica fell behind in all aspects and was in a suppressed situation. This is the most desperate.

With the victory of this game, Porto surpassed Benfica by one point and temporarily ranked first in the standings.

In the next three rounds, Porto continued to win three games in a row, which allowed them to secure the first place.

On the other hand, after losing the top battle with Porto, Benfica lost its spirit and spirit. In the three rounds of the league, it achieved one win, one draw and one loss, and opened a huge gap of 7 points with the top Porto.

"Congratulations, you can return to the green field."

When the rehabilitation doctor saw Wang Pei's various examination data, he smiled and said.

In the first training session after returning, teammates and coaches lined up to welcome him. Outside the training ground, there were many fans who came specially.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Pei will become the x factor in whether he can defend the title.

After the game, Benfica's press officer agreed to the reporters' interview request.

"Do you have anything to say to the fans when you return to the field?" a reporter asked.

Wang Po stretched himself, thought for a moment and said, "Well, this feeling is still very wonderful. Thank you for the encouragement and support from the fans, club, coach, and teammates."

"Benfica's situation in the new season is not very good. Now it has opened a 7-point gap with the top of the list, and was completely defeated by the opponent in the most recent match. So, will the club's goal this season change?"

Wang Po pursed his lips, smiled and said, "There is no invincible general. It is normal for the long league record to fluctuate. As the defending champion, we have no reason to compete for second place. Besides, at this time last year, weren't we also behind Porto? Didn't we still win the championship in the end?"

At this point, all the reporters present laughed.

"What are your expectations for your performance in the new season?" Another reporter asked.

"Do my best to help the team."

...

Three days later in the league, Benfica, which has been in poor form recently, was challenged by the strong opponent Guimarães at home.

The latter has recently seen a surge in combat effectiveness, even with traditional powerhouses such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who won five straight games and entered the championship group, tying Benfica in the standings.

This is a six-point battle, and Benfica cannot afford to lose.

Mano fielded a regular starting lineup, and Wang Po, who had only trained with the team for three days after returning from injury, was placed on the bench.

At the start of the game, Guimarães threatened Benfica's goal with a long shot, giving a powerful blow.

Two distinctive wingers repeatedly attacked Benfica's defense, and they couldn't hold it back.

From the scene, Benfica seemed to have a problem with their physical fitness. The players' legs seemed to be filled with lead, heavy, and not running actively.

It stands to reason that as a professional athlete, there is one game a week, and this situation is impossible.

Mano on the sidelines looked helpless. After the defeat at the Dragon Stadium, the team's morale was greatly hit, and their ability to withstand pressure was fragile. Once they encountered setbacks, they lost their fighting power.

At the beginning, Guimarães' crazy offensive suppression scared the players, and they were afraid to take risks. It was reasonable that the situation was passive.

Guimarães made another shot, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line. It was an extremely lucky shot, and Benfica almost fell behind.

This shot made all the Benfica fans feel cold.

"Per, go warm up." Mano said to Wang Po who could no longer bear it.

You know, the game was only 17 minutes in, and the head coach couldn't sit still.
