Benfica were runners-up in the Portuguese Prigera last season and relied on qualifying to reach the Champions League. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThat's because of the low number of Champions League places in the Portuguese league, but not because Benfica is not strong enough.

Speaking of which, Mourinho and Benfica also have a feud.

Jose Mourinho took charge of Benfica's tenure and became the youngest homegrown manager in Benfica's history. With the ability to coach a big team in Portugal, Mourinho is clearly ready to make a big splash. But after only nine games in charge, he resigned due to a re-election of the club and a feud with the new president and board of directors.

Jose Mourinho then achieved his first success at Porto, leading the team for two seasons, winning the treble in the first season – three titles in the Portuguese Super League, the domestic cup and the UEFA Cup, and the European Cup in the second season. I wonder if the chairman and directors of Benfica Club at this time have any regrets...... And now the number one star in the Real Madrid team, C. Ronaldo, is from Benfica. This time, C. Ronaldo can be regarded as returning to his hometown and revisiting his hometown.

Here, C. Ronaldo received a very warm welcome and Mourinho did not hear the boos directed at him. Both men are the pride of Portuguese football, one is in the world of players and the other in the world of coaching.

So the overall atmosphere of the game was quite friendly. The two sides are playing purely football and nothing else. There was no war of words before the game. But C. Ronaldo is excited to return to the team that debuted when he was young. He was hungry to score against Benfica, but assured that he would not have any celebrations after the goal.

Ten minutes into the game, C. Ronaldo has not yet had a chance to deliver on his promise. Because the score is still 0:0.

Kaka plays in the front midfield, and Chu Zhongtian really has to adapt again, because in the last game against Sevilla, Ozil was in the middle and Kaka was on the side, which made it much easier for Chu Zhongtian to choose the direction of the pass, as long as he divided the ball to the side.

But now he has more directions to choose from, and Kaka has more freedom to run, which requires him even more. He will have to keep an eye on Kaka's movements, looking for openings in the opposition's direction, while also blocking Benfica players who are trying to come up and get the ball...... Isn't he omnipotent? Jose Mourinho took his all-round side to the extreme.

Jose Mourinho is the best manager at pushing the limits of his players. Just look at the injuries and tiredness of Inter Milan's players after he left Inter Milan. Mourinho actually already knows that Inter Milan, who is desperate to win the treble, has exhausted all his strength, and he will only let the team slide slowly and decently. It is unlikely that Inter Milan's treble will continue its glory.

So he was smart enough to run to Real Madrid.

After Mourinho observed Chu Zhongtian's performance in several games, and combined with his previous experience with Hoffenheim, he felt that Chu Zhongtian should not have been unleashed to his full potential, and he had not yet reached his limit.

Then under his own hands, let him reach the limit. If you want to win the championship, how can you not fight so hard?

※※※Chu Zhongtian controls the ball at his feet, Benfica's midfielder Xavi. Garcia was pressing him.

Chu Zhongtian protected the football, and couldn't find a better passing option for a while, Kaka was obviously not as comfortable in the middle as he was on the side, he didn't seem to be in the game yet, and often fell into a situation where he stood on his back to catch the ball. Kaka is not a centre-forward, and with him on the edge of the penalty area with his back to the ball, he can barely threaten the opposition goal.

He can get the ball with his back in midfield, because he has space behind him, he doesn't have to stop the ball at all, he just needs to turn the ball behind him with his heel and turn around to get rid of the acceleration. With his unique speed with the ball, as long as he successfully turns, few people can catch up with him, unless he commits a foul at the first time. However, such back-tackles often result in heavy penalties, and yellow cards are the lightest.

The problem is that at the edge of the box, even if he moves the ball behind him, it is the chassis of the opposing centre-back. There was no room behind him for him to turn around and catch up with the football and stride forward. When he turned around, he hit the opposing centre-back.

So if you are in the front, Kaka will not play well.

Chu Zhongtian also realized this, he passed the football to C. Ronaldo on the side, and then waved at Kaka: "Come back, don't go too far ahead!" ”

Later, taking advantage of a throw-in, Chu Zhongtian simply found Kaka. "I don't think you should do a ...... midfield"

Kaka frowned: "The head coach asked me to ......"

"There is an old Chinese saying: the king will not be subject to the orders of the foreign king. It means that we do everything on the field by ourselves, and don't listen to the manager for everything. He made a retreat gesture. You move back and start from midfield, so that even if we play positional battles, you will have more space in front of you, and then you will be facing the goal, not with your back to the goal. ”

Chu Zhongtian suggested to Kaka.

Kaka looked down and thought about what it would look like if he seemed to be retreating to himself.

"Try it." Chu Zhongtian said to Kaka.

Kaka suddenly thought of what Chu Zhongtian said to him before the match with Sevilla.

Try the sea and the sky. Nothing is to be lost anyway.

He nodded, "Okay, give it a try." ”

※※※ "Kaka adjusted his position, he was further back, more often than not, he looked like a back midfielder...... No, the midfielder, not the midfielder......"

The narrator quickly noticed the change as he explained it above.

Jose Mourinho and Karanka, who were sitting on the sidelines, also noticed that Kaka often retreated.

"I didn't give instructions like that......" Mourinho shook his head.

"He made this adjustment after communicating with Chu." Karanke said.

Mourinho raised an eyebrow.

All the changes seem to be related to Chu Zhongtian.

"Do you need to get him back on top?" Karanka asked Mourinho.

The Portuguese coach shook his head: "No, let's see, see." ”

※※※ Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Kaka, and then pulled it to the side, shouting at Kaka while running: "Pass the ball to me!" ”

Kaka decisively passed the ball over and ran forward on his own.

Chu Zhongtian faced the incoming ball, did not stop, but directly stabbed the football in front of Kaka, and he just caught it.

Kaka continued to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, and the two of them pushed forward while doing two-by-one cooperation in the middle.

Benfica's players didn't expect Real Madrid to play in the middle like this, they kept pounced, and they were constantly overtaken by Chu Zhongtian and Kaka's wall-hitting cooperation.

Soon they realized they couldn't do that, because if they pounced on them, they would be empty. So when they reached the thirty-meter area, Chu Zhongtian and Kaka encountered resistance - Kaka was entangled, he ran forward, and the Benfica players who were guarding him followed and retreated, and Chu Zhongtian couldn't pass the football to him.

Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't pass the ball, Benfica planned to come up and break Chu Zhongtian's ball.

However, Chu Zhongtian reacted faster than they imagined.

He seemed to flick the ball forward at the moment when Kaka was entangled, and then rounded his thigh...... Powerful long shot!!

"Chu-!!"

"Good ...... Risk"

The ball shot by Chu Zhongtian did not hit the goal frame, but deflected.

Judging from the slow release behind the goal, it is a bit off.

But Chu Zhongtian didn't seem to take the ball to heart.

He's putting pressure on Benfica's players. You think I'm only going to pass the ball? Then I'll shoot. You think I'm going to shoot? No, I passed! You think I'm either passing or shooting? Ha, I'm going to dribble the ball and rush in!

Since he has a lot of passing options for Kaka, it is necessary to have more options for Benfica players to defend as well. That way, when they don't know what they're going to do, they can naturally find an opportunity.

After a few minutes, Real Madrid made a comeback, this time Chu Zhongtian was still in the middle and the retreating Kaka was looking for an opportunity to cooperate, he just passed the football out, and then ran forward by himself, and immediately pasted a Xavi next to him. Garcia.

He didn't tell Kaka what to do because he believed that a seasoned player like Kaka must know what to do right.

Sure enough, as soon as Kaka saw that there was someone beside Chu Zhongtian, he immediately passed the football diagonally to the ribs, where it was Harvey. Garcia posted the void he had left.

Di Maria received Kaka's pass and showed his excellent passing skills. I saw that his body twisted and stopped, and then passed the opposing player. It's a pity that the gate that broke into the penalty area at the end was too square, and it was saved by goalkeeper Morilla.

Although it is an away game, under the command of Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian has completely gained a firm foothold in the midfield, and what about Benfica? Whether it's Aimar or Harvey. Garcia can't compete with Real Madrid's midfield.

Khedira protected Chu Zhongtian's back very well, so that he could go forward as much as he wanted.

Coupled with the fact that after Kaka's position retreated, the deep space came out, and Kaka could play to his characteristics of being good at breaking through with the ball. Another advantage of Kaka's retreat is that it pulls out Benfica's midfield defense, so that they can no longer stick to the edge of the penalty area and keep a suitable distance from the central defenders, so that Real Madrid can take advantage of it.

"Looks like he's found a solution...... ' Karanka said to Mourinho.

Mourinho mused: "It seems that he does have a set of ......"

"Real Madrid took the initiative and Benfica could only defend at their home turf. This Real Madrid team is even better than last season...... Chu is in good order in the midfield!! ”

The commentator also praised Real Madrid.

Indeed, everyone can see that since Chu Zhongtian played the starter, Real Madrid has often dominated the game, especially in the midfield, where Chu Zhongtian completely dominates.

Even if Harvey. When Alonso was there, Real Madrid's dominance in midfield was not so prominent.

Chu Zhongtian can always make judgments based on different situations on the field, so as to direct the team to avoid danger.

He just let Kaka pull back, and he opened up new ground for Real Madrid. Now Benfica's defensive players are very contradictory, if they don't go out to defend, they let Kaka, Chu Zhongtian and others perform in front of them, and if they press out to defend, because the distance is too far and the space behind them is too big, it just gives Kaka space to attack...... What a dilemma!

In the twenty-seventh minute of the game, Real Madrid finally broke the deadlock.

This time Kaka and Chu Zhongtian once again sought cooperation in the middle, Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Kaka in the backfield, and then ran forward himself, and after Kaka passed the football to him, he also ran forward.

The two of them made a two-over-one match. Benfica's midfielders thought they were going to continue to cooperate and decided to keep an eye on Kaka.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian did not pass the football to Kaka at all, but directly to C. Ronaldo on the side.

C. Ronaldo, of course, is also being targeted. So he passed the ball directly to Kaka, who had already run to the front.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly transferred to C. Ronaldo just now, making Benfica give up continuing to mark Kaka and defend Ronaldo instead, while Ronaldo saw that the opponent gave up marking Kaka, so he immediately passed the football over.

Kaka took the ball forward again and it was when Benfica's defenders pressed again. He passed the ball sideways again.

Chu Zhongtian plugged in from behind and received the ball!

He picked up his foot, and Benfica's defenders and midfielders thought he was going to shoot and were defending his shot.

How could I have thought that Chu Zhongtian's feet were picked up, but it was an oblique pass. The ball rolled diagonally to Benfica's defender, and Kaka received the ball again!

"Kaka-"

Kaka, who received the ball, did not slow down, but accelerated the momentum and rushed between the two Benfica defenders!

Before Benfica's two defenders could react, Kaka had already rushed past them!

"Single Knife!"

The Real Madrid fans cheered loudly.

Benfica's goalkeeper Morilla hurriedly dropped the ball to block Kaka's shot angle.

Kaka didn't shoot, but turned around and passed the ball to the middle!

Despair came over goalkeeper Morilla as the ball passed through his eyes.

Higuain, who was waiting in the middle, was unceremonious and swept the ball!

The soccer ball flew straight into the empty goal...... "The ball is in - a beautiful match!" ”

"It's a dazzling fit! Real Madrid played like Barcelona! Consecutive two-over-one and two-over-two cooperation will turn Benfica's play! ”

"It's wonderful! All Higuain has to do is raise his leg and shoot! The hardest ones before were all done by Chu, Kaka and Ronaldo! ”

Higuain went to Kaka after scoring, and Kaka beckoned Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo to come over to celebrate. Everyone hugged and celebrated their first goal of the game.

As long as they score first, the game is much easier, and Real Madrid can now control the midfield and have to be led by the nose once they take the lead.

Karanka and Mourinho stood up and applauded Real Madrid's goal. While applauding Karanka, he also said to Mourinho: "I think this exam, Chu and Kaka have passed." ”

Mourinho shook his head while applauding: "Kaka's exam is considered to have passed, Chu?" Not yet. ”

Yes, and what about Alonso...... He can work with Kaka, he can work with Khedira, he can work with Mesut Ozil, Di Maria, C. Ronaldo and others, but what about Alonso, who has a similar style?

※※※Real Madrid, who scored a goal, seemed to be at ease in the next game, and Chu Zhongtian firmly controlled the rhythm on the field, if he wanted to be fast, then Benfica had to follow him fast. If he slows down, Benfica will have to slow down, even if he just tried to raise the pace.

Benfica felt it was a tough game. I can't have the strength to make a hair, so I can only be led by the nose by Real Madrid.

Just before the end of the first half, Real Madrid scored another goal.

This time it was Di Maria who scored the goal, he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian who followed up in the middle after connecting two people on the right side, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball directly back without stopping, Di Maria took advantage of the opportunity to pass the football out of the ball and ran without the ball to get rid of the Benfica defender who was marking, and then received Chu Zhongtian's pass in the vacancy.

He had already formed a single knife in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Morilla, and with a light pick, the ball flew over Morila's head and fell into the goal behind him.

“2:0！！”

"This is Chu Zhongtian's second assist in this Champions League game! Pretty! ”

"I feel like the suspense is out of the game, not because Real Madrid are already two goals ahead, but because from the pitch I don't see any hope of Benfica being able to equalise or even complete the reversal. They were pinned down by Real Madrid in midfield, and neither Aimar nor Saviola could threaten Real Madrid's goal. As the third-tier team in this group, Benfica didn't even have the strength to fight back, which surprised me......"

"Now, how right it was for Florentino to spend 70 million euros to bring Chu from Hoffenheim to the Bernabeu this summer. With him, Real Madrid's midfield has been more effective...... Look at the assist he gave to Di Maria for this goal, and then look at the previous goal His cooperation with Kaka, C. Ronaldo and others, it is simply pleasing to the eye! ”

"How does Real Madrid play, how do you have it, at the front of Benfica's penalty area, wantonly doing this kind of two-by-one, two-by-two collision with the wall, it is simply not organizing an attack, but humiliating the Benfica players!"

Of course, Chu Zhongtian and the others didn't think that they were humiliating the other party, they just tried their best to bring out their best side. This is an away game, and if you slack off, you may not recover.

Rather than falling behind by one goal and then fighting for two, it is better to seal the win at the start and let the rest of the game become garbage time.

They're working so hard.
