Chapter 80
Goalkeeper: No. 1 Jose Moreira
Forward: No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo

Midfielders: No. 20 Simão Sabrosa, No. 4 Luis Luizao, No. 7 Carlitos, No. 37 Manuel Fernandez, No. 15 Nuno Assis
Defenders: No. 18 Manuel dos Santos, No. 14 Panagiotis Fisas, No. 39 Ze Roy, No. 23 Luis Miguel

This is the lineup designed by coach Trapattoni for today's game, a very rare 4-5-1, a formation that Benfica rarely uses in official games.

Trapattoni was also forced to do nothing. In this weather, if Benfica did not adopt a dense defense in their own half, they would definitely be overwhelmed by the tough CSKA Moscow. It is better to put up a stance and stand firm at the beginning.

I believe everyone will understand Benfica's difficulties and will not despise their conservatism.

Of course, it is not safe to just defend to the death. The physical fitness of the two sides is very different. Benfica also needs to maintain the power of harassment in the frontcourt to prevent the opponent from frantically pressing forward.

Single striker!The most important and honorable task of the whole team fell on Ronando's shoulders.

He has good physical fitness, strong impact, and fast speed. More importantly, if the opportunity is right, his ability to seize opportunities is the strongest in the team. Even the captain Simao can't compare with him. Therefore, he is the best candidate. Only he can hold off the opponent's sufficient defensive force.

"C Ronaldo! Don't be impatient and don't panic. You can get very little backcourt support, and other players will not attack with all their strength if they have a good chance. They have more important defensive tasks. Today, you are a free man in the frontcourt, you are main character!"

"Boy, I know you have a big heart, and I also know that you don't need my encouragement, you will go all out. Yes, Ronaldo, I appreciate you, although you are not the most talented player I have ever coached But, I think you should succeed. You! Have the heart of a champion!"

Trapattoni walked up to Ronando alone, hugged Ronando's arms, and said softly, finally, softly said: "Be careful and protect yourself! Go!"

Ronan nodded heavily, his face was as hard as a piece of iron!
Although Trapattoni is old, he is an old fox. He sees people very well and knows what medicine to give to someone. As for Ronando, you don’t need to yell at him and tell him what to do. You just need to Tell him "protagonist" "champion".

These two words are enough!

Anyone who has watched Ronando play football will know that this is a guy who wants the ball but not his life, a desperado on the football field...

CSKA Moscow is a typical Eastern European team. Toughness is their characteristic. Just in terms of height, they crushed Benfica.

To put it figuratively, if all the players of the two teams sit at the two ends of the balance, Benfica has no way to fight back, and they are completely defeated. In real history, although this team transferred in January Lost several main players in the game, but still in this game, relying on their physical advantages to shock Benfica into a mess, they can only return with hatred and stop at the top 32 of the Europa League.

Goalkeeper: Igor Akinfeev No. 35
Forwards: No. 7 Daniel Carvalho, No. 11 Wagner Levy
Midfielders: No. 25 Elvi Ramic, No. 8 Roland Gusev, No. 17 Milos Krasic, No. 22 Evdeni Aldonin

Defenders: No. 15 Cedi Odiha, No. 4 Sergi Ignashevich (captain), No. 24 Vasily Berezutsky, No. 6 Alexei Berezutsky
At 21:[-], the referee Alexandru Dan Tudor from Romania blew the whistle to start the game.

CSKA fans with more than 7 people couldn't hold back their excitement. These big Russian men shouted desperately, and the shouts of "Ulla" and "Ulla" on the field swept towards the Benfica players on the field together with the cold wind.

Amidst the cheers, CSKA launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

The Russians are certainly not fools. They are naturally aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Using the stormy attack to overwhelm Benfica is their only hope for victory. The physical confrontation ability of these players is obviously higher than that of the Portuguese Super League players. At the top, as soon as the two sides played against each other, Benfica was pushed back again and again!

"Beautiful! Red Army midfielder No. 8 Roland Gusev, his dribbling center of gravity is very low, his feet are very stable, this is a player with strong impact! Powerful dribbling action! Benfica player No. 4 Luiz After Luizao made contact with him, he staggered back and forth! Another Benfica midfielder had to step forward to help."

"... Roland Gusev split sides! No. 25 Elvi Ramich!"

"The Bosnian big midfielder Elvi Ramic with a height of 191cm! This is a main player of the Bosnian national team. He is 29 years old. He is tall but not bulky. Benfica No. 15 Nuno Assis defends the same It was hard! He was held firmly by Elvie Ramich, who kicked it straight!"

"Number 7 Daniel Carvalho! The most powerful striker of the Reds this season has received a pass!"

"Let us cheer for the talented striker from Brazil! This 21-year-old teenager has brought great firepower to CSKA Moscow's striker. He has the reputation of 'a combination of big and small' in Brazilian football! Unbeatable Skill! Keen observation! Powerful scoring ability!"

The commentator at the Luzhniki Stadium shouted excitedly. Of course, he had reason to be happy. Judging from the scene, CSKA Moscow not only had an overall advantage in physical confrontation ability, but even its foot skills were not inferior to their opponents.

The reason for this situation is entirely because the Benfica players were confused by the opponent's attack method!

CSKA players like to actively seek physical contact when they are in possession of the ball. This is completely different from Portuguese Super League players who are good at using their feet to find loopholes in their opponents.

Figuratively speaking, if the Benfica players want to break through, they will first shake the ball with the ball, and when they find an opportunity to take advantage of it, they will suddenly pounce on the opponent's soft crotch and break through in one fell swoop. However, the Russian players are not like this. They first seek physical contact and use their bodies to break through. Advantage, forcefully open a gap, and then completely open the gap.

This difference in the game style made it difficult for Benfica, who was in a defensive position, to adapt for a while. They have been familiar with the Russian weather in the past two days. However, when they got to the field and faced the CSKA players, they were still caught off guard.

Not suitable!Very uncomfortable!

On the court, the Brazilian player known as the "combination of big and small Ronaldo", No. 7 Daniel Carvalho received the ball, made a smart dunk, flashed past Ze Roy, and quickly advanced along the right edge of the penalty area. This move disrupted the layout of Benfica's defense, allowing him to slip into the gap between central defender Panagiotis Fisas and full-back Luis Miguel, kicking the goal while running!

"boom!"

The ball flew out and went straight to Benfica's goal!
Fortunately, Jose Moreira, who served as the goalkeeper in this game, reacted quickly, flew forward, barely touched the ball, let the ball fly out of the baseline from the outside of the post, corner kick!

The fans of CSKA Moscow in the stands shouted happily. The scene of tens of thousands of arms waving was extremely shocking.

"Daniel Carvalho! A combination of big and small Luo!"

"CSKA's sharpest striker!"

"You are the best striker! Better than any Ronaldo!"

On the field, Daniel Carvalho waved his arms triumphantly towards the stands, drawing another round of cheers, and then ran to the corner flag area.

※※※

"A combination of big and small Luo? I'm yuck!"

"Wow! Everyone wants a piece of the name Ronaldo! One day, I will let my name surpass the name Ronaldo!"

A 21-year-old player dares to say that he is a combination of Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho. Isn't that much more powerful than Ronaldinho?
With the rise of Ronaldo in the Portuguese Super League, not only many Portuguese fans began to call him Ronaldinho, but when the media in other European countries mentioned him, they often used Ronaldo instead of Ronaldo’s name. For this, Ronaldo used to feel very excited. However, when he heard the commentator call this 21-year-old Brazilian player who had never heard of it a "combination of big and small Ronaldo", he began to be upset!

The player who has a relationship with the name Ronaldo can only be him, not any other player!
Even, Ronaldo is not satisfied with the title "Little Ronaldo". He should be a person who surpasses this title and keeps pace with the other two Ronaldos!

However, through the game just now, Ronando also saw clearly the strength of the Brazilian player on the opposite side.

The Brazilian striker's awareness in front of the goal is indeed excellent, even stronger than that of Ronaldo after he cast "Three Seconds of God". Dribbling the ball into the gap and then shooting, but Ronaldo believes that if he is given the same opportunity, he will definitely do better than the opponent, because he will definitely choose to force the central defender, rush in and shoot from the front. will be higher.

After a simple comparison, Ronando regained his confidence and accelerated towards his penalty area.

Of course, Ronaldo did not dare to neglect CSKA Moscow's corner kick. Benfica's defense line is not high enough. According to the requirements of the head coach Trapattoni, when encountering a set kick, Ronaldo, a big man, must return to the defense. Running makes his figure stand out on the court, which makes him look very embarrassed.

But at this time, the on-site commentator focused his attention on Ronando.

"Benfica's No. 22 striker is desperately running back from the frontcourt! This player has a very strange name... Cristiano Ronaldo, this is a Portuguese player, but we see that his appearance is biased towards the oriental race... I'm sorry, but I don't have enough information about this player. The registration form shows that this player...is only 17 years and 7 months old! A 17-year-old Ronaldo with an Eastern face?"

"I'm sorry, I believe many people will feel the same as me, only Brazil can produce 'Ronaldo'... So, I can only really be sorry!"

"Let's cheer for Daniel Carvalho, a cross between Ronaldo and Ronaldinho from Brazil..."
