Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 49 Strong Counterattack

Arsenal, a seed in the Champions League, suffered a huge upset when they lost to Benfica in Europe's second-tier league.

Looking at the entire game, did Arsenal perform poorly?

No, never, on the contrary, it is very informative. Unfortunately, time is also fate, and luck is not on the shooter's side.

Benfica's tenacious fighting spirit and ability to seize opportunities made all Arsenal's efforts come to nothing. Among them, the performance of Gomez, Wang Po and Jim was particularly important.

The fast break of the three-man team completely defeated Arsenal's defense worth 90 million pounds.

After returning to Portugal for a brief rest, the Benfica team ushered in the league game.

The opponent in this round is Porto, who is currently at the top of the table.

The huge gap in the standings makes this season's league championship no longer in suspense, but the competition between the two teams has never lacked topics and attention.

This is a veritable national derby in the Portuguese top league.

The away game against Porto is no less difficult for Benfica than the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

Pre-match tickets have been sold to 1,200 euros by scalpers. What is the concept? Scalper tickets for the Champions League final are priced at this price, which shows how much attention it has.

In the player tunnel, countless reporters surrounded Silva, the core of the Porto team.

"Benfica just defeated the powerful Arsenal team in the European match in midweek and is in hot form. Has the team made any special arrangements for this home game?"

Silva smiled contemptuously and said, "In terms of results, yes, but everyone who has watched the game knows how ugly Benfica played, which brings shame to the sport of football. Luck can help them win a game, but not It will allow them to keep winning. The real strong ones are guaranteed by their strength. Look at the current league standings.”

The transfer rumors with Arsenal had just spread, and Wang Po came up to give his rumored club a slap in the face. It was foreseeable that he would be unhappy.

The Benfica team bus arrived at the Estadio del Rey.

Wang Po became the focus of all reporters.

"What is the team's goal in this El Clasico?"

"Victory." Wang Po didn't hesitate at all.

The Porto team reporter continued to ask unconvinced.

"Given the current state of Benfica this season, can this game really pose a substantial threat to Porto?"

"I thought we performed very well in Europe in the middle of the week."

"As Silva commented, luck played a large part in Benfica's victory in the Champions League in midweek."

The Porto reporter retorted.

Wang Po shook his head repeatedly, "All results are inevitable. Besides, are they convincing? Is it your family's words? Or is he just saying it in one word? How convincing are your opinions?"

The reporter's words were obviously meant to spark a fight, and Wang Po was not polite in his words.

"Besides, at least we are on the stage of the knockout stages of the Champions League. What about the Porto team? It seems that they have not qualified for the group stage. Why should we, a knockout-level team, care about the opinions of a player from a team that cannot even qualify for the group stage? Don't you think it's funny? What? According to what you just said,"

These words spoke of the pain of the Porto team, and the team reporter said unconvinced.

"However, Silva's current worth is the highest in the Portuguese Super League. It can be said that he is the face of the entire league."

"So what? Shouldn't your Portuguese Super League show the best results? In fact, the Champions League was eliminated early..."

Wang Po was really tired of this kind of war of words and shrugged, leaving Porto and the team reporters with angry faces.

The Dragon Stadium is no stranger to Benfica.

The familiar boos made Wang Po and his teammates well prepared.

Before the game started, as the players were waiting to enter the tunnel, Silva walked towards Wang Po from the team.

"Hey, I only know about your interview just now."

"Then what?" Wang Po felt funny, "Don't you think what you said is stupid?"

"Really? I'm curious, why can you judge me? Take a look at yourself..." Mixed with various curse words, Silva cursed emotionally.

Gomez had already gathered around him, and the atmosphere in the tunnel suddenly became tense and full of gunpowder.

Wang Po sneered, "So what? I don't know who has been chattering in front of the media, buzzing like a fly."

"Watch, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

As soon as Silva made a move, his shoulder was grabbed by a strong and thick arm. When he looked back, he saw Gomez looking fierce.

"The accounts from last year haven't been settled yet. You'd better be honest with me, otherwise I will make it impossible for you to earn a living in football." Gomez lowered his voice and stood up for his younger brother domineeringly.

Under the pressure of the fierce momentum, Silva was obviously frightened.

Now he has the highest net worth in the league. His career has been ruined and his future is over. Does he dare to take a gamble? cannot!

"Can you leave?"

With that said, Gomez threw Silva back to the Porto team like a chicken.

This game is destined not to be peaceful.

Deadly rivals, Benfica will not let Porto go regardless of whether they have hope of competing for the title or not.

In this game, Benfica used all its main players and once again formed a Christmas tree formation in the midfield.

Compared with the defensive counterattack tactics in the midweek European game, in this game, Mano obviously has to take the initiative and compete with the opponent face to face.

Without the pressure of competing for the championship, the team is willing to do whatever it takes.

A whistle blew and the game began.

After a month and a half of running-in of the new formation and playing style, the players of Benfica team became more and more proficient in cooperating with each other. This set of tactics with Wang Po as the core of the outer circle has begun to show its prowess.

Everyone serves the core and shows Wang Po's ability to the fullest.

In the midfield, Wang Po and his teammates' cross-pass cooperation is dazzling. There is always a triangular receiving point around Wang Po. The crazy dog ​​strangulation tactics formulated by Porto before the game are not right at all, just like a punch on cotton.

Benfica team broke Porto's midfield pressing with three passes and two falls. Wang Po dribbled into the opponent's hinterland with the ball and shot from outside the penalty area, directly hitting the dead corner of the goal.

1 to 0.

Just three minutes after the start, Wang Po took the lead for Benfica.

More than 60,000 Porto fans in the stadium didn't even react.

Wang Po once again became Porto's nightmare.

After the change of sides, Benfica did not flinch after taking the lead and continued its offensive.

Facing Benfica's local small-scale cooperation, Porto had no way to deal with it. The defensive players on the field were beaten like fools and did not react at all.

Benfica's left winger accelerated with the ball on the sideline and made a cross from the bottom. Gomez struggled to grab the first point. With no more shooting opportunities, he chose to pass the ball back to Wang Po who was waiting at the front of the penalty area. The latter swung his calf and blasted a world wave, completely replicating the first goal.

2-0.
