Chapter 250: I'll Win
Obviously, even the fans of Boavista themselves are very pessimistic about this game, and they simply do not believe that Boavista can continue to have a high profile this season and win Benfica in one fell swoop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In their eyes, their team that won the Portuguese league last season can take a point from Benfica at home, which is already a very, very perfect record, and as for winning, they can't even think of it.
"Hey, I said guys, it seems that no one is looking forward to us anymore except for ourselves and our fans, and if nothing else, look at what the Porto Daily wrote: 'This is the toughest test Boavista has faced since the start of the season, the opponent is more than they can bear, and what they need to think about now is not how to beat the opponent, but how to try to prevent the opponent from winning on their home turf'. Fuck it, this is so contemptuous of us! What if the opponent is Benfica? What if they have more stars? Don't think we're bullies! Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, if he can beat Porto like that bear away from home, can't he clean up Benfica at home? Don't care what others say, I still don't believe in this evil! In this game, we must fight for it, and we must let everyone see if we have the strength to defeat Benfica! ”
The day before Boavista and Benfica kick off, before training began, in the Boavista dressing room, the team's big brother Andrés Madrid, shook the newspaper in his hand. He was very angry that the outside world looked at Boavista so much, and he was also very unconvinced by the argument that Boavista was far inferior to Benfica, and vowed to use a victory to overturn these claims.
"Don't be mad about that, Andrés."
Chen Jianhao bent down and picked up the newspaper that Kalitos had thrown on the ground, glanced at the contents on it, and then smiled contemptuously.
"Are we being underestimated less often? Do these people make boring predictions less often? Again, no matter which one time, what is the final result? Doesn't it all end with us slapping them in the face? Are we less likely to prove others wrong with our actions? Since everyone is sending their faces to us to beat, then why should we be angry? You should be very happy to laugh at it! ”
"That's right, that's right!" Andrés Madrid high-fived him with a boxer, "We've done this kind of thing a lot before, so this time, we're going to continue this tradition and do him with a big vote!" Slap the faces of these people who came to the door again, and see how thick their skin is, and how many times they can withstand our fan! ”
Indeed, since Boavista was relegated to the second level in a row, the voices of doubts about this team have not stopped, but the final result is that Boavista proved that he is strong and correct, and let the opinions that questioned them end in self-defeating.
Facts have shown again and again that anyone who doubts Boavista will not have a good death, and the final result is basically a few slaps in the face. And even so, there are still people who enjoy it, as if they are uncomfortable if they are not pumped for a long time.
Just like this time, although the "Porto Daily" is not saying bad things about Boavista, but making predictions based on the normal strength comparison of the two teams, it also offended Boavista, a group of guys who are not convinced, led by Chen Jianhao and Andrés Madrid, all the Boavista players are full of energy, and they must let those who can't afford them take a good look at whether Boavista can do it or not.
Whether it will work or not, it is not just a matter of which side can just say it, it is clear through the actual competition, and this day, did not make people wait too long, on October 26, the battle of the Portuguese League and the Portuguese Super League last season was staged as scheduled.
After resting and adjusting, Boavista's main players have all returned to full physical strength, and they can play with a high posture again. However, Andrés Madrid, who was on the bench in the last league game, still failed to start today, and his place was replaced by Reziño, who performed very well in the previous round.
The reason is simple, Filippo Govia has already got the Benfica line-up, and the Benfica who have expelled the double central midfield combination of Xavi Garcia and Nemanja Matic are obviously similar to Sporting Lisbon, and they need to use more on the wings. In this case, Boavista must of course make targeted changes, and Reginho is certainly more suitable to be the main player against this formation, and he is still in such good form, so he can only continue to grieve Andrés Madrid as a substitute.
Except for Andrés Madrid, Boavista's rest of the positions have not changed, and they still maintain their best formation and style of play. Against a strong opponent like Benfica, it is not a good idea to change formations on the spot, stability is the most important thing.
Benfica, on the other hand, continued their main starting line-up in the Portuguese Super League last weekend, with goalkeeper Artur, full-backs Maxi Pereira and Andrew Almeida, central defenders Luizao and Nelson Oliveira, double midfielders Javi Garcia and Nemanja Matic, bilateral forwards Nicolás Gaitan and Gala, and forwards Cardoso and Nolito.
Giorgio Jesús is also very serious about this game, with Boavista, who won their first two games 3-0, have already shown that they are also very competitive in the top flight, and Benfica will suffer if they are treated as ordinary opponents. The cautious George Jesus certainly doesn't underestimate Boavista, so he fielded the strongest squad he could.
"Hey, Chen Jianhao! Long time no see! ”
Before the game, in the tunnel of the players, as the players lined up to play, Nicolás Gaitan warmly embraced Andrés Madrid. Nicolás Gaitan hadn't seen Andrés Madrid for almost two months since the last Copa America qualifier against Puerto Rico, so he was very happy to meet each other, and although the two are now their own masters, it doesn't affect their good relationship.
Andres Madrid's previous popularity in the national team is called a good one, whether it is a veteran or a newcomer, whether it is the main player or a substitute, they all get along with Andrés Madrid very happily, and Nicolas Gaitan is one of the best relations with Andrés Madrid, plus he and Andrés Madrid also have a very tacit understanding on the field, the two can always create good opportunities for each other, making the relationship between the two of them very iron, Even if they meet in such an important game in the league, they can still talk and laugh, and it is not at all like the two opponents who are about to meet.
But as soon as they arrived on the field, the harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a high concentration of attention and that murderous aura!
"Bring the horses here, Andres!"
"You're going to lose today, Nicholas!"
In the hearts of the two, there is only such a thought left, professional players, on the court, will not be soft-hearted because the opponent is their friend.
After the start of the game, as expected before the game, Benfica quickly took the initiative on the field, and their very pressing style of play made Boavista, who was dominated by young players, completely unable to bear for a while, and was beaten and retreated, and could only barely resist Benfica's offensive, and could not draw his hand to fight back.
Although Benfica's attacking ability in the middle of the midfield is not too strong because of the double midfield, in terms of defense, it is the opposite. The central barrier formed by Xavi Garcia and Nemanja Matic is unusually strong, making Boavista's midfield unable to organize, nor can it give Chen Jianhao enough support, and once Chen Jianhao can't live at this point, Boavista's overall operation will not be able to function normally.
In the 11th minute, Boavista, who was at a disadvantage, suffered a heavy blow first. In the confrontation with Marco Canela, the more experienced Nicolás Gaitan clearly had the upper hand, and a couple of feints, combined with the speed that was not weaker than Marco Canela, left the veteran behind in one fell swoop, and then easily passed to the middle and handed the ball to Cardoso's feet.
Cardoso didn't make any extra moves after receiving the ball, and with a slight heel knock, he allowed the ball to continue to the left, giving Norito, who had been plugged in at high speed from behind, a chance to be left unguarded.
"Well passed, man!"
Nolito secretly praised in his heart, Cardoso's knock on the ball fully reflects the winger's skills.
And such an opportunity, how could Nolito let it go, back in the league to fight, today is extremely excited, with the ball into the penalty area, a low shot, breaking the door guarded by Pedro Ferreira.
1:0, Benfica, who were playing away, took the lead, they did not waste their advantage on the field, and turned this advantage into a goal, so that the home team completely fell into passivity.
"Is this the strength of the giants? Really strong! It's really strong! It's not easy to win against such an opponent, but it's because it's so difficult that it's even more interesting, isn't it? ”
Benfica's strength made Chen Jianhao fully appreciate the strength of the giant team, but he was fearless, and his desire to win was stronger than usual!
"I'm going to win!" (To be continued.) )
