Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 42 Champions League Group Stage

Mano could not sit still after being completely suppressed by Guimaraes. This match was a match that he and the team could not afford to lose.

He made the decision to make a substitution just 17 minutes into the first half.

Wang Po stood up and walked towards the warm-up area.

For a moment, the focus of the entire stadium at the Stadium of Light was on the bench.

The team's performance has been poor in recent times, and Wang Po's return is the only consolation for the fans.

In the 22nd minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign to signal a substitution.

Player No. 80 came on the field, and Wang Po returned.

The fans cheered and applauded. This feeling was long-lost!

Mano arranged Wang Po in the midfield to partner with Riise, with the aim of strengthening the control of the ball and stabilizing the situation.

Receive the ball, take the ball, and transfer and dispatch.

Wang Po's appearance shared Riise's pressure, and Benfica's offense improved. The formation was deployed, pressed forward, and attacked Guimaraes' goal.

Gomez in the penalty area took the high ball and passed it to Riise, who was the second point outside. Before receiving the ball, the latter had already observed the emptiness of Guimaraes' left defense line and pushed the ball directly to the side without stopping.

After receiving the ball, the right winger accelerated to the bottom. Seeing this, the left back and defensive midfielder of Guimaraes rushed to block it.

Wang Po stood in the ribs of the opponent's left defense line, ready to respond at any time.

The right winger of Benfica looked up and saw that all the passing routes in the penalty area were blocked, so he chose to return the ball to Wang Po's feet who was active in the ribs of the penalty area.

With Gomez involved in the penalty area, Guimaraes' left back and defensive midfielder filled the side, resulting in a temporary vacuum area in the ribs. Wang Po did not miss this opportunity, dribbled into the penalty area, and scored a goal with a volley before the opponent's defense line was filled.

The score on the field was 1-0.

The goal was scored by player No. 80, Wang Po.

Returning to the team after injury and announcing his return with a goal, what could be more perfect than such a performance?

Wang Po clenched his fists and roared, venting his anger about his injury.

After leading the score, Benfica chose to retreat. Mano replaced the right winger with a defensive midfielder, and pushed Wang Po to the sideline again, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

After losing the ball, Guimaraes pressed forward on three lines and launched a crazy counterattack.

Guimaraes suddenly fired a cold arrow from the outside, and the goalkeeper of Benfica easily took it down. The hand-thrown ball was handed to Wang Po who was waiting for an opportunity on the side.

Guimaraes, with an empty back line, gave Wang Po the opportunity to sprint, and he accelerated along the sideline with big strides.

Facing the right central defender of Guimaraes who was defending on the side, he confused the opponent's center of gravity by continuously pedaling bicycles, and suddenly accelerated to get rid of the opponent and entered the penalty area.

Danger.

The left central defender of Guimaraes hurriedly filled the position, and the goalkeeper abandoned the goal to attack.

The two double-teamed Wang Po blocked all the shooting angles. In a flash, he shook his ankle and broke the opponent's blockade with a light lob shot.

The score on the field changed again.

With Wang Po's double goal, Benfica took a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.

The fans at the scene were boiling. They hadn't seen the team have such a hearty attack for a long time. They celebrated wildly and played with people in high spirits.

The second half of the game started.

Guimaraes, who were two goals behind, had lost their fighting spirit and their offensive strength was not as strong as in the first half.

As one side rose, the other side fell. Benfica's morale was high and the offensive was like a tide.

Wang Po's surgical pass penetrated the layers of defense of Guimaraes and created a single-handed opportunity for Gomez. As the league's Golden Boot last season, there was no reason to waste any opportunity. He shot into the net and the score came to 3-0.

Five minutes later, Benfica got another chance to take a penalty kick.

Gomez, the team's first penalty taker, gave the scoring opportunity to Wang Po.

Run-up, acceleration, shot, all done in one fell swoop, Wang Po completed a hat trick in this game.

The final score was 4-0.

Benfica swept away the haze of the previous rounds, regained confidence, and once again launched a powerful attack on the championship.

Wang Po, who scored three goals and made one assist, was selected as the MVP of this game.

At the press conference after the game, head coach Mano became the first blower for Wang Po.

"Perfect, this is a perfect, flawless player, simply a masterpiece of God. I think after this game, no stupid person should question Wang Po's status again."

Mano's words directly pointed the finger at the public opinion promoter Zhan-Jack, who was jumping and mad in the office at the moment. "Damn Wang Po, I should have broken your legs directly!"

The hoarse curse showed Zhan-Jack's resentment at this time.

Yes, Silva's rough foul was his.

If you can't get it, destroy it, which is also in line with Zhan-Jack's style of doing things. Silva is just a substitute for Wang Bo.

The headlines of the sports front page the next day attracted a lot of attention with titles such as "The genius announces his return, and the era of two heroes competing for supremacy has arrived".

Three days later, in the Champions League group stage, Benfica went to Moscow to challenge the Moscow zy Lu Jun team.

Although the status of the Russian Super League in Europe is not as good as that of the Portuguese Super League and the Argentine Primera Division, the strength of the Moscow zy Lu Jun team, which originated from the Russian Super League, should not be underestimated. It is a frequent visitor to the Champions League and has strong funds in the team, attracting many quasi-first-class and second-class players to improve its strength.

In the first two rounds of the group stage, Benfica lost one and drew one, and the situation of qualifying was not optimistic, and it urgently needed three points to stop the bleeding.

Before the game, the top management of Benfica had already issued a death order that they must win this game.

Wang Pei went with the team and entered the 18-man roster, but did not start the game.

Physical strength and hardness are the characteristics of the Moscow zy Lu Jun team. On the contrary, their footwork and technical and tactical aspects are their weaknesses.

Avoid the sharp edge and target the deadly point.

Mano asked the players to play behind the opponent's defense as much as possible and use speed to break the opponent.

At the beginning, the two sides launched a fierce fight in the midfield, and the ball possession changed many times.

After Riise got the ball, he made a straight pass to the front line.

Gomez accelerated to chase the ball, and the two Moscow zy Lu Jun central defenders beside him followed closely. The collision of muscles and strength consumed Gomez as much as possible and slowed him down.

Even so, Gomez was still a step ahead and touched the ball first, but because of the previous excessive consumption and exhaustion of strength, the shot was weak and powerless, and did not pose a substantial threat to the goal of the Moscow zy Lu Jun team.

Soon, the Moscow zy Lu Jun team returned the favor on the offensive end.

The corner kick was taken, and the center forward jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal before the Benfica center back, but unfortunately, the angle was slightly off.

This time, the Benfica team was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, but they escaped.

In the following time, both sides attacked and defended each other, but both failed at the last minute.

In the first half, the two sides ended in a draw.
