Portugal's new center forward Gomez scored from a long shot to help the team get a goal back!
This goal completely destroyed Benfica's confidence.
The fans began to sing and cheer for the team.
Benfica's players also launched a strong press and started to gain momentum.
In this situation, speeding up the passing rate is the best way.
Otherwise, whether you want to rely on technology or body, you will easily be violated by the opponent's big moves.
Thirty-three minutes.
Yin Bu was violently violated by Maniche and fell to the ground.
He wanted to hold Maniche on his back, but after Maniche got on top, his range of movements was obviously not limited to the specifications of the game.
Maniche's strength and movements in knocking down Yin Bu were at the karate level.
Yin Bu hugged the football immediately after falling to the ground.
Maniche wanted to kick the football away, and he tried.
Although there is obvious foot tightening, it is still equivalent to suffocating the football on Yin Bu.
Yin Bu, who originally wanted to perform a tumble on the lawn, got angry and acted like a hammer, just do it!
After Yin Bu got up, he directly knocked Maniche away.
After Mani cut up, he also rushed towards Yin Bu.
The two were chest-to-chest, with Maniche retreating steadily and Yin Bu being domineering.
If his teammates hadn't arrived quickly, Maniche, who suffered a loss in this chest clash, might have punched.
The referee then arrived and showed yellow cards to both Yin Bu and Maniche.
Yin Bu started to stir up trouble and received a disciplinary yellow card.
Maniche's defensive actions were excessive and improper, and he received a normal yellow card.
If Maniche didn't hold back his feet when playing football, or if he moved his hands during a push with Yin Bu later, he would probably get a red card.
It can only be said that his teammates were wise and controlled this time bomb.
Thirty-nine minutes.
Yin Bu, who was affected by his emotions, did not retreat so actively. This was also his way of deliberately avoiding conflicts with others again and keeping a low profile.
This is true, everyone needs such adjustment after a conflict, otherwise the situation may be worse.
But for Sporting Lisbon, the team temporarily lacks a frontcourt fulcrum.
Deng Kai was left alone and was intercepted.
Benfica strikes back.
In the end, Nuno Gomez hit another long shot... which hit Deschamps.
Young people don't care, old people really don't want to be bored by football.
Deschamps lay on the ground for a long time. After the team doctor came in, he and Deschamps checked their fingers.
Deschamps didn't press the opponent's finger.
The team doctor couldn't determine whether it was a concussion or old eyesight, but he signaled Triguera to substitute.
Even though Deschamps has repeatedly explained that he has presbyopia and the failure to click is not a physical problem, the team doctor cannot take this risk and must act in accordance with the rules at this time.
So Triguera replaced Deschamps with Pepe.
Pepe got full playing time today and was very happy.
It made everyone think that he and Deshang had a personal grudge.
But in fact, as a child, there is nothing more than pure happiness.
Forty-five minutes.
After calming down, Yin Bu once again began to support his teammates on the wing and became the fulcrum.
But his style of play has been noticed by Benfica.
Under the siege, Yin Bu made a pass error and was successfully intercepted by Benfica.
Benfica strikes back again.
Gomez knocked over the young Pepe without the ball, then received the ball and held Fonte, all in one go.
You can't say that Pepe and Fonte did not do well, but at least the result was not good.
Gomez carries people on the line in the penalty area and fires!
Schmeichel made a flying save.
However, today Gomez is in full condition and has a bonus of luck.
The football hit the left side of the goal at the junction of the post and the crossbar and bounced into the net.
This is an absolute blind spot!
"Gomez! Gomez! Gomez!"
The Stadium of Light was a blast!
Gomez relied on his strong personal ability to equalize the score!
Every second that follows may be the moment when they take the lead.
But the arrival of the intermission made this scene happen a little later.
…
Visiting team locker room.
Deng Kai found Yin Bu and was communicating with him: "In the second half, when you release the ball from the wing, be faster and try to be concise. In order to restrict you, the center is already somewhat empty."
"But if your side's tempo drops, we won't be able to seize the opportunity in the middle."
To put it bluntly, the same fulcrum function is also the fulcrum of passing the ball and the fulcrum of controlling the ball to stabilize the rhythm.
Yin Bu used to play the latter way, so his presence would be much stronger.
Now that Deng Kai wants him to use the former style of play, the team's focus needs to shift to the midfielder.
If Benfica fails to pay attention to this change in time, it will be overpowered by others and cause big problems.
Most of the head coaches' on-the-spot adjustments and commands are actually mainly to adjust to the changes in the opponent's offensive focus.
Repeatedly and frequently changes.
But the head coach's insight is different, and it also takes time to gain insight before directing.
This is the team's flaw.
The smarter and more perceptive a player is, the better he can react and detect opportunities before the head coach reminds him.
Such changes also existed for Benfica after the second half started.
However, Deng Kai had an insight into Benfica's intentions in advance.
Benfica is obviously taking advantage of Gomez's long-range shot.
Gomez pulled wide twice in five minutes, making way for Maniche, who likes to participate in the midfield stranglehold.
When you think Maniche is a midfielder, Maniche will tell you that he is actually a winger.
His lethality after suddenly inserting in the middle is stronger than that of ordinary midfielders.
Fifty-eight minutes.
Gomez pulled aside.
With the help of Gomez's cover, Maniche dribbled the ball from the ribs to the top of the penalty area, preparing to shoot.
boom!
Deng Kai suddenly made a bold shovel from the front and side.
If he didn't understand Maniche's intention, he wouldn't dare to do this, because Maniche is very likely to dribble horizontally and then suddenly advance vertically.
But Deng Kai knew that Benfica's head coach's arrangement for Maniche was to dribble laterally to the center and then shoot long-range, or to split the ball and find forward Sabri on the left who relied on speed to cut into the penalty area without the ball.
Instead of giving the football to Gomez who took away two defensive players.
So Deng Kai dared to shovel.
Because he was sure Maniche had to play another game.
Sabri on the left hasn't started yet, so Maniche can't pass.
"Beautiful! Deng Kai made a bold shovel and accurately knocked the football from Maniche's feet!"
"Maniche signaled a foul to the referee, but the referee shook his head and denied it!"
"Maniche was a little excited... Oh, Deng Kai passed the ball to Pepe, and Pepe made a long pass! Yin Bu moved to the left to get the ball, and Ronaldo walked through the middle and entered the penalty area!"
"Sporting Lisbon's counterattack came very quickly. Maniche had no time to complain. He was desperately trying to defend, but it seemed a little late."
