Chapter 417: The team spirit leaves

In terms of comprehensive ability, Vinicius completely crushed Antonio.

In the 4th minute, Vinicius took the ball on his back, giving full play to the flexibility of the Brazilian player's feet, knocking the ball on his back, piercing Antonio's crotch and completing the breakthrough.

In the 7th minute, Benfica crossed from the side, Antonio and Vinicius jumped at the same time, and the young Vinicius was more physical, jumped higher, and took the lead to top the ball, forming a threatening goal.

In the 13th minute, Vinicius and Antonio competed for 1/2 of the goal, the two bodies collided continuously, and the "bang" of muscle confrontation sounded, and in the end, Antonio, who was one size smaller, suffered a loss and was squeezed out of the position by Vinicius.

Antonio saw that the situation was not good, so he had to pull it in the back and drag Vinicius to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded, foul!

Fortunately, the referee gave face, just a verbal warning, and did not take out the cards.

……

Everyone on the sidelines of Maritimo was very anxious, and the opponent's intention was very obvious, that is, to attack Antonio.

Antonio is no match for Vinicius at all, and there is no doubt about this from the price of both sides.

Antonio's German transfer price is only 4.5 million euros, while Vinicius Jr. transferred from Napoli in 2019 for a whopping 17 million euros!

Whether it's height, weight, strength, speed, flexibility, or even age, Antonio is no match for Vinicius.

The only thing to rely on is Antonio's experience, but in the face of absolute disparity, experience can play a very limited role.

Gao Yuan also frowned, of course he also found out that Antonio was at a disadvantage, he wanted to use the system to improve Antonio's ability, but all aspects were poor, and Gao Yuan hadn't figured out which aspect of CA to improve.

On the field, Antonio was once again at the bottom of the confrontation.

Vinicius, who is 1.9 meters tall, is surprisingly agile at his feet, and a few dazzling dribbles can pass Antonio.

However, Antonio is also very experienced, following Vinicius closely and not being completely thrown away by the opponent.

But Vinicius jerked the ball forward, accelerated abruptly, and shook off the distance between him and Antonio.

Antonio didn't expect the other party to be able to accelerate again during the sprint, and he was shocked and in a hurry, he flew the shovel.

The tackle was so ferocious that it broke the ball but also sent Vinicius to the ground.

"Squeak~~" A sharp whistle sounded, and the referee rushed over and took out a yellow card without hesitation.

"Oh God! I tackled the ball first! It's a ball! Damn, why give me a card! Antonio got up from the ground and yelled at the referee angrily.

"You've fouled! Tackle from the side and back, and bring people down! Faced with the angry team spirit, the referee explained.

"I tackled the ball first, I didn't touch anyone! He's a fake fall! Are you blind or stupid! Antonio didn't listen to the referee's explanation, like an angry lion.

"You'd better keep your mouth clean, or I'm welcome!" The referee has soil even if he is a clay figure, and when he saw Antonio so faceless, he didn't say angrily.

Antonio was still chattering, but his teammates knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly ran over, pulled and pulled, persuaded Quan, explained to the referee, and apologized, but finally did not let the situation escalate further.

However, the referee was also really angry, pointed at Antonio and said: "You better be careful with me, I will pay attention to you!"

Antonio glared at the referee with a pair of ringed eyes, his mouth rising and falling violently, and it was clear that he was still angry.

As a veteran player, although he has a hot temper, he is not stupid and knows the truth that on the green field, his arms can't twist his thighs. Normally, he would never compete with the referee, but this time he was disgraced by the opponent's young players, and he was a little annoyed.

He knows that the opponent is looking for himself to attack, which also means that he is the team's biggest weakness in the eyes of the opponent. This makes it difficult for him to accept, as the soul of the team, he is the captain on the field, the spiritual leader of everyone, and one of the most trusted players of the manager, he should have played an exemplary role and become the mainstay of the team, but now, he has become a burden to the team and a laggard!

This made it difficult for Antonio, who had a lot of self-esteem, to accept.

It's all Benfica's bastards! Especially that big Brazilian black Vinicius!

Thinking of this, Antonio turned his angry gaze on Vinicius, but saw that he was pulled up by his teammates, several people were talking and laughing, relaxed, and from time to time they also looked at themselves, and their eyes seemed to be full of banter.

"Bastard!" Antonio trembled with anger and clenched his fists.

"Antonio, don't be in a hurry! Take it easy! A distant cry rang out from the sidelines.

Antonio glanced at it and raised his hand to signal that he had heard.

However, Gao Yuan was very skeptical about how much of a difference his words could have. Although Antonio was convinced of his heart, the current situation was that this hot-tempered man was already in chaos, and his instinctive impulses were far greater than reasonable.

If the situation does not improve, Antonio will have to be replaced. After all, it is very dangerous for a central defender to carry a yellow card.

However, who should I replace?

Antonio is the second-best centre-back in the team, second only to Qusay, and is a bit more capable than any other centre-back. He can't cope with Vinicius's impact, so how can the others be opponents of the Brazilian black man?

Playing centre-back with other players on the pitch? Joao and Zhou Yong have both played as guest centre-backs and have played well. But now the midfield is also very tight, and the main midfielder is put in an unfamiliar central defender position, not to mention whether it can prevent Vinicius, even the defense of the midfield will be weaker!

While Gao Yuan was calculating the gains and losses, Antonio once again released his signature big flying shovel on the field.

Fortunately, this time it was tackled from the side, and although the action was very fierce, it was obviously wrong for the ball, and it also managed to intercept the ball from the feet of Vinicius.

However, because of the large range of movement, the ball was stopped, and the person was brought down again.

When they saw Vinicius fall heavily on the turf, Gao Yuan and all the Maritimos gasped and subconsciously turned their eyes to the referee.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Gao Yuan felt that the referee's Adam's apple with a spoon moved, and he almost whistled!

This ball, once it is determined to be a foul, will definitely be carded!

When the time comes, two yellows will turn into one red, and Antonio will have to be sent off!

Gao Yuan didn't dare to pin his hopes on the referee's defense, after all, he and Antonio had just competed!

Antonio is completely messed up! In order to protect him, and even more to protect the team, I can only replace him on the field!

Gao Yuan immediately made a decision and asked his assistant to call Wen Jun back.

Two minutes later, taking advantage of the dead-ball gap, Maritimo made a substitution.

Substitute centre-back Moon Jun came on and replaced captain Antonio.
