Football No. 10: God's Perspective

The mid-season window gives each team a chance to strengthen.

Bad news came from Benfica. In order to ease the financial pressure on the club, the team transferred Corey to Sevilla in La Liga for a transfer fee of 37 million euros.

This deal is like an earthquake. The Benfica team, which aims to defend its title, has given away its core players in the middle of the season. What kind of operation is this?

Fans were dissatisfied and went to the club to demonstrate.

The club has suffered unspeakably. In the past two years, money has been tightened and the finances have been unsustainable. This transfer fee of 37 million euros can solve the urgent need.

Parting is always sentimental.

"Po, the command of the team's midfield is handed over to you, win a championship." Riise, who came to say goodbye to his teammates, put his arm around Wang Po's shoulders and encouraged him.

Wang Po forced out a smile, "I don't feel safe without you by my side."

"Ha, being a midfielder is sometimes very lonely, especially when facing an opponent that is stronger than you. You have to adapt to this loneliness. If you have given up as a commander, how can you lead the team to victory? Se said.

After saying goodbye one by one, Riise left Benfica and went to Spain to report.

The old man goes and the new man comes.

Benfica introduced its main right winger Black Jim from the Ferreira team in the Portuguese second division with a transfer fee of 700,000 euros.

In this season's Portuguese League, Jim started 14 games and came on the bench in 3 games, scoring 6 goals and 7 assists.

But the data was collected in the second-tier league and is not very convincing for competing in the top league.

For Wang Po, Jim is his old friend, it is Jim, the winger of that Eagles team.

The Eagles, who won the championship as a dark horse, received a lot of attention from coaches to players, which brought them many professional contracts.

Some went to the Netherlands, some to Spain, some to England, and some to stay in Portugal.

Two years later, the comrades who once fought side by side and created the "Eagle Miracle" once again have the opportunity to fight side by side.

"Wow, Po, I'm very happy to meet you. I didn't expect that in two years you have firmly established yourself as the main player of the Portuguese Super League. It's incredible. You were born for football."

When they met again, there was no sense of strangeness between the two. Xiao Hei put his arm around Wang Po's shoulders and sighed.

Wang Po shrugged and said, "You're not bad, you're also a player for a wealthy team now, aren't you?"

"Haha." Jim bared his neat little white teeth and laughed. He leaned into Wang Po's ear and said mysteriously, "Hey, brother, how much my worth can increase depends on how you feed me cakes!"

"Put it on me." Wang Po said, patting his chest.

It is always warm to reunite with friends, and I believe Coach Blue will also be very happy.

…

The media criticized Benfica's operation during this window period.

Sending away his main core and bringing in wingers from lower leagues, is transfer director Tom out of his mind? Lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

How useful can a second-tier winger be? Can it make up for Rise's loss?

Coming from a low-level league, the outside world did not have much expectations for the young player Jim.

Before the game even started, Jim encountered a lot of doubts. The fans vented all their grievances about the club's sale of Riise on him.

…

In the first league game after losing core Riise, Benfica faced Santa Clara at home.

This team is not very strong, ranking in the middle and lower reaches of the standings.

But for the Benfica team, there is no room for failure in this game. Once they lose, they will face a tsunami of saliva.

The club cannot handle this pressure.

On the match day at the Dragon Stadium, many fans in the audience still held slogans such as "Give me back Riise, Tom get out".

This makes the club's senior management very ugly.

The club was outraged by the sale of the core.

Wang Po took over Riise's position and partnered with two defensive midfielders in the midfield.

At the beginning of the game, the Santa Clara team chose the strategy of staying defensive and waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

The strangulation and siege of the midfield was not very strong, which allowed Wang Po to display his talents without reservation.

The left and right maneuvers at the front of the opponent's penalty area made Santa Clara's defensive players exhausted.

At the beginning, the opponent's attention and physical strength were abundant, and the defense was tight, making it difficult to expose flaws. It required more patience to control the ball and organize the attack.

The opportunity has come.

Wang Po formed a cooperative group with the winger and the full-back, breaking the opponent's regional defense, speeding up the ball to the penalty area, seeing Santa Clara's center back coming up, and sweeping the ball towards the goal with a low kick. forward.

There were many people and legs, and Santa Clara's full-back accidentally kicked the ball into his own door when faced with interference from Benfica's offensive players.

In the first half of the game, Benfica took the lead with this own goal.

At the beginning of the second half, Benfica's offense was booming, but their final kick was weak.

With the right winger's one-on-one strike just around the corner, Mano couldn't sit still any longer. With a little black Jim, he waved his flag and the new player appeared.

This was Jim's first time in the top league, and the crowded Stadium of Light gave him some stage fright.

"Don't be nervous, just be yourself." Wang Po comforted Jim.

Just like Gomez did to relieve himself, this is a kind of inheritance.

After the change of sides, the game became Wang Po's personal midfield show. He broke away from the opponent, made super transfers, and penetrated in various ways, making Santa Clara's defense shaky.

Wang Po proved with his strength and performance that he could fully play the core position of Benfica's midfield.

Benfica's defensive midfielder made an excellent interception, blocking the opponent's counterattack point, and handed the ball to Wang Po in the frontcourt. Before receiving the ball, he had already observed that the opponent's defense line was too close to the middle, resulting in loose defense on the side, and passed the ball to Jim who was ready on the right.

After getting the ball, Jim looked up and observed that the side was flat. The black cheetah showed its bloodthirsty scene, accelerated the ball, and like a black lightning, it wiped into the opponent's small penalty area, and pushed the ball with his left foot to break Santa Clara's goal.

The score was rewritten, and Benfica led by two goals.

The goal was scored by Jim, a newcomer who was controversial and questioned during the window period.

The terrifying acceleration left a deep impression on all the fans. This kind of violent crushing by talent gave the fans a top sensory enjoyment.

In the last minute of injury time, Wang Po once again showed his commander's qualities, making a long pass behind him and assisting Gomez to score a goal.

3-0, cleanly defeated the opponent.

Wang Po, who made three goals by himself, was unsurprisingly selected as the MVP of this game.

At the press conference after the game, Wang Po was also brought to the scene by Mano.

"Mr. Mano, based on today's performance, can it be said that Wang Po can support the midfield of Benfica in the post-Riise era?"

"I am very sorry for Riise's departure, and I wish him all the best in the future." Mano pondered and said, "Regarding Wang Po, I think there is no need to continue discussing this topic. Data and performance will not lie. He has this talent and this strength."

Whether it is a former disciple or a current disciple, Mano gave a very high evaluation.
