However, as if not only Li Yi, but most of the people present, including Benfica fans, coaches, and even staff, all had the same idea as Li Yi, the game unknowingly came to the 80th minute and entered "garbage time".
It was perfect, and goalkeeper No. 1 Arthur, who easily neutralized all the few attacks in Guimarães, did something that made all Benfica fans vomit 100 liters of blood.
I saw only 11 Benfica players on the field, especially the attacking group in the midfield and frontcourt. They firmly remembered the instructions of the coach in the midfield! Although the big score is good, 2-0 is not bad, as long as they can win the championship! In the second half
After tentatively attacking for more than 10 minutes and failing to pry open the opponent's door, they were not aggressive and calmly slowed down their offensive rhythm. Moreover, during the attack, they also left time to deal with Guimarães' defensive counterattack.
More than enough 5 defenders!
Even if this arrangement is not perfect, it still leaves no opportunity for Benfica's opponent Guimarães to take advantage of today!
However, what no one would have imagined is that in the 81st minute of the game, after successfully intercepting Guimarães' through pass, Arthur seemed to have a short-circuit in the face of Almeida's return pass.
Yes, the ball was sent directly to the feet of Guimarães center No. 8 Toscano, who had lost the opportunity and was already planning to run back.
Faced with this kind of pie falling from the sky, Li Yi can grasp it, and Toscano also has no reason to miss.
Just like Li Yi's choice, he easily knocked down Arthur who was blocked and tried to save him. Toscano successfully helped Guimarães and changed the score to 1 to 2!
At this time, Li Yi, standing near the center circle, had just seen his teammates steal the ball and was about to rush forward and make a quick counterattack. After witnessing the entire process of losing the ball with his own eyes, he was so shocked that he could not utter a word!
Li Yi can swear to God, this Atul is either here to trick his father today! Or he is a super undercover arranged by Xiao 7!
Because Arthur's feet didn't slip just now, and no Guimarães players were around to threaten him. In fact, when Arthur passed the ball, he still had a lot of time to observe his teammates.
Position. In this situation, Li Yi really couldn't believe that the stupid mistake that he would not have made as the goalkeeper of the C University team would happen to a goalkeeper who has been playing football for more than 10 years and is firmly the main goalkeeper of the Portuguese Super League.
of people.
He suppressed the urge to rush back to his own goal and question Arthur. At this moment, he had completely involved himself in this championship battle, and he didn't feel like he did in the first advanced copy.
The unreal Li Yi lowered his head without saying a word and walked to the center line to stand.
After all, it was just 2 to 1, not the end of the world. As far as this game is concerned, Guimarães is not very competitive. As long as Benfica does not make similar low-level mistakes in the next 7 or 8 minutes of the game,
Winning the game won't be a problem.
Unfortunately, sometimes, low-level mistakes are just like idiots, they are contagious. Just at the last minute of regular time, Benfica's substitutes on the sidelines were ready, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle and rush to the scene immediately.
When entering the field to celebrate, a dramatic scene occurred on the field that was no less dramatic than Arthur's previous mistake.
This time, Guimarães also did not have a good opportunity. Although center Uneta, who was holding the ball, received a long pass from his teammate in the penalty area. However, at this point in the game, Benfica still maintained a high intensity against Guimarães.
The oppression was such that Guimaraes, who still had some illusions about a comeback, could not be forced out no matter what, just like a trapped animal, locked tightly in an iron cage by Benfica.
When Uneta came on as a substitute, he used his pretty good physical fitness and rough # actions that were between fouls and non-fouls to slightly push away the three Benfica defenders who surrounded him.
Unetta, who was definitely out of luck in a violent attack, immediately raised his head, looking for the support he urgently needed.
However, after Uneta quickly scanned the surrounding situation, he discovered with some bitterness that he was still not strong enough after all. Benfica paid enough attention to this game. Guimarães really had no chance!
After waiting for a while, struggling to hold on, Uneta could no longer hold on. Seeing that the ball was about to be intercepted by the slowly surrounding Benfica defenders, Uneta knew that if he missed this opportunity, Guimarães would miss out on the championship.
No longer caring about so many things, he pushed the ball forward without hesitation. He turned into a heavily armored mecha warrior and looked at death as if he were returning home. He moved towards the very weak gap between the two Benfica central defenders in front of him. In theory, it was absolutely
Hit the gap between people you can't pass!
The trapped beast still fights, the trapped beast still fights!
Almeida, a central defender who has been on the green field for more than 10 years and is the captain of Benfica today, saw that the opponent was just as he had guessed. At this time, he still wanted to struggle, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes suddenly turned.
After relying on experience, he accurately judged that Unetta's ball was definitely too big and it was impossible to catch up. He cherished his feathers and did not choose to fight head-on with the opponent!
Turning slightly sideways to let Uneta blow past him like the wind, Almeida took a step forward and planned to go to the penalty area line to standby!
Well, counting the time, Guimarães’ attack is over and the game should be almost over! Even if the referee gives more time, when the goal kick is taken and a few Benfica defenders tip the ball over, it will be over!
However, what Almeida never imagined was that Luison, another central defender with whom he had played fairly steadily this season and who had developed a certain tacit understanding with him, would bump his chest into Unai's body and deliberately let him pass.
Tower, left on the lawn!
"It's over!" Seeing Unetta knocked to the ground by Luison, Almeida was the only thought left in her mind.
"Beep!" And the referee who enforced the law today did not disappoint Almeida in the end. He blew the iron whistle in his hand without hesitation almost at the same time that Uneta was knocked to the ground!
He was not far from the scene of the incident. After blowing the whistle, he quickly rushed to the Benfica penalty area. Then, when everyone on the scene couldn't help but hold their breath, the referee pointed his right hand towards the point.
Pointing to the ball, he made his decision unswervingly, a penalty kick!
"!" Seeing what he had just done and being sentenced to death by the referee, the young Louison was determined! He threw away the goalkeeper Arthur who was trying to catch him, and Louison rushed towards the referee with anger.
Go. Although, on the way, he still couldn't think of how to find a convincing excuse for his stupid mistake.
In this way, Guimarães was extremely lucky and got an excellent opportunity to equalize the score during the countdown of the game!
Speaking of which, the fault of this penalty kick did not entirely lie with Luison who committed the foul. If we really want to be more serious, we can only say that Luison and Almeida are both responsible, but neither is responsible.
First of all, Almeida, his judgment is not wrong. Anyone who is careful can see that Unetta just wanted to make a life-and-death shot, and it flew straight out of the baseline. Even if Unetta could transform instantly,
It's impossible to catch up even if you wear your underwear outside! So, as a veteran, after all, his body is not as good as that of young people. In order to avoid injury, he doesn't bump into the opponent like this. Almeida, that's right!
Let's talk about Luison. He was originally a good double-teamer. Luison, who was still inexperienced, did not have the experience of Almeida. When he saw that the opponent wanted to break through at this time, he would stop him without even thinking.
.
Even when he accidentally discovered that his teammate Almeida timidly moved out of the way and wanted to let Uneta pass, Luison moved his position with a mentality of despising the former so that he and Uneta could be head-on.
Collide and complete this defense!
To sum up, the mistake this time was not the fault of the two of them, but the lack of tacit understanding between the old partners before them, as well as the lack of communication on the field!
Just imagine, if Almeida had given Louisa a sigh of relief before deciding to get out of the way, I believe that in the end things would not have developed to this point!
…
With bloodshot eyes, he stared at Louison who was chattering non-stop towards the sidelines. Li Yi swore that if this happened in a real game, after he went back, he would definitely let Louison know why the flowers were red and why the chrysanthemums were always green.
Dilapidated!
Damn it, giving the opponent a penalty kick in the last second of the game is enough to cheat! No one would have thought that after Louison finished cheating this time, he would then angrily scold the referee for being unfair and take the initiative to apply for his own personal game.
The second yellow card completes a cheating duet!
Facing such teammates, Li Yi cried out in his heart - he is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs!
…
In the end, although Li Yi transformed into a wizard and kept drawing circles behind Guimarães center Toscano, unfortunately, the ball still rolled mischievously into the net behind Arthur!
…
They had the advantage throughout the game, but the opponent did not have a decent shot or create a decent offensive opportunity on their own!
Even Benfica led the opponent 2-0 thanks to Li Yi's brace.
But under this background, the score of the two teams at the end of regular time in the Portuguese Cup final was a somewhat puzzling 2-2!
What's more, logically speaking, 2-2 is 2-2, and the game goes into overtime, so Benfica doesn't care!
But the key is that after the infuriating Luison was sent off, Benfica had to face the unfavorable situation of having one less player on the field during the next 30 minutes of overtime.
On the football field, if one person is missing, it is not as simple as 2-1=1. Especially when both sides are fighting fiercely for 90 minutes and their physical strength is not slack, if one person is missing, it is definitely a fatal thing! Therefore, the current situation
Well, now that we are here, Li Yi is actually half successful. It’s just that he is obsessed with the authorities and doesn’t realize it clearly!
Don’t forget, in the original game, Benfica didn’t even get the chance to play overtime. The game may have been similar to just now, and it may even be that Benfica has a greater advantage without Li Yi.
.But no matter what, the score in the regular time of that game was 1 to 2! Benfica lost a good game and won the 3rd Asian Champion!
Therefore, no matter how the next overtime game develops, Li Yi can be regarded as acting as a troublemaker for a while and successfully muddied the water in this pond!
