Benfica was the runner-up in the Portuguese Super League last season and relied on the qualifying round to reach the Champions League. That was because the Portuguese League had fewer places in the Champions League, not because Benfica was not strong enough.

Speaking of which, Mourinho and Benfica have a feud.

Mourinho was the head coach in Benfica that year and became the youngest local head coach in Benfica's history. Mourinho was obviously preparing to do a big game to be able to coach the giants in Portugal. But after only nine games, he resigned because of the club's re-election because of the club's reunion.

Later, Mourinho achieved his first success in his life in Porto. He led the team for two seasons, and won the triple crown in the first season - the Portuguese Super League, the three championships in the domestic Cup and the League Cup. He continued to work hard in the second season and won the European Champions League. I wonder if the chairman and director of Benfica club were regretful at this time... And now the top star in Real Madrid is C. Ronaldo from Benfica. This time, C. Ronaldo has returned home in glory and traveled back to his hometown.

Here, C. Ronaldo was welcomed very warmly, and Mourinho did not hear booing at him. Both of them were the pride of Portuguese football, one in the players' world and the other in the coaching world.

Therefore, the overall atmosphere of this game is quite friendly. The competition between the two sides is purely football, not anything else. There was no swearing before the game. However, C. Ronaldo was very excited about returning to the team he debuted when he was young. He was eager to score goals against Benfica, but he promised that he would not have any celebration after the goal.

Now ten minutes into the game, c. Ronaldo has not had a chance to fulfill his promise yet. Because the score is still 0:0.

When Kaka plays as the front midfielder, Chu Zhongtian is indeed going to adapt again, because in the last game against Sevilla, Ozil was in the middle and Kaka is in the side, which makes Chu Zhongtian much easier in choosing the direction of passing, just pass the ball to the side.

But now he has more directions to choose, and Kaka's running position is much more free, which requires him to be even higher. He must accurately grasp Kaka's movements, find the gaps in the opponent's direction, and at the same time block Benfica players who are trying to come up and grab the ball... Isn't he omnipotent? Mourinho has brought his all-round side to the extreme.

Mourinho, the head coach, is best at suppressing the limits of players. Just look at the injuries and fatigue of Inter Milan after he left Inter Milan, and you will know that Inter Milan, which has fought to win the triple-champion, has exhausted all its strength, and staying by himself is just to make the team slower and more decent. It is unlikely to continue the glory of Inter Milan's triple-champion.

So he ran to Real Madrid very smartly.

After observing Chu Zhongtian's performance in several games and combining his previous experience in playing against Hoffenheim, Mourinho felt that Chu Zhongtian should not have fully developed his potential and he had not reached his limit yet.

Then, under your own hands, let him reach his limit. If you want to win the championship, how can you not fight like this?

※※※ Chu Zhongtian controls the ball at his feet, Benfica's midfielder Xavi Garcia is pressing him.

Chu Zhongtian protected the football and could not find a better pass option for a while. Kaka was obviously not as comfortable as he was on the sidelines. He seemed to have not entered the game yet and often fell into a situation where he was receiving the ball from behind. Kaka was not the center, so he could hardly threaten the opponent's goal by letting him take the ball from behind at the front of the penalty area.

He can get the ball with his back in the midfield because there is room behind him, so he doesn't have to stop the ball at all. He just needs to push the football passed by his teammates behind him with his heels, then turn around and get rid of the acceleration. With his unique dribbling speed, as long as he turns successfully, few people can catch up with him unless he commits a foul at the first time. However, such behind-the-scenes tackles often lead to heavy penalties, and yellow cards are the lightest.

The problem is that when he reached the front of the penalty area, even if he pushed the football behind him, it would be the chassis of the opponent's central defender. There was no room behind him to turn around and catch up with the football and then strode forward. If he turned around, he would hit the opponent's central defender.

So if you are in front of it, Kaka will not perform well.

Chu Zhongtian also realized this. He passed the football to C. Ronaldo on the wing, and waved to Kaka: "Come back a little, don't be too far ahead!"

Later, taking advantage of the opportunity of out-of-bounds ball, Chu Zhongtian simply found Kaka. "I don't think you should be the front midfielder..."

Kaka frowned: "The head coach asked me..."

"There is an old Chinese saying: If you are on the outside, you will not accept the orders of the king. It means that we will do our own things on the court, and don't listen to the head coach's everything." He made a retracement gesture. "You retreat to the position and start from the midfield, so that even if we fight the position, you will have more space in front of you, and in this way, you will face the goal instead of the goal."

Chu Zhongtian suggested to Kaka.

Kaka lowered her head and thought for a while, as if she was retreating to herself, what would it look like.

"Try it." Chu Zhongtian said to Kaka.

Kaka suddenly thought of Chu Zhongtian saying this to him before the match with Sevilla.

Try to see the vast sky. Anyway, you won’t lose anything.

He nodded: "Okay, give it a try."

※※※"Kaka adjusted his position, and he was even further backward, and more often he looked like a midfielder... No, a midfielder, not a midfielder..."

The commentator quickly discovered this change when he explained above.

Mourinho and Carlanca, who were sitting on the sidelines, also noticed that Kaka often retreated.

"I didn't give such instructions..." Mourinho shook his head.

"He made this adjustment after communicating with Chu." Karank said.

Mourinho raised his eyebrows.

All changes seem to be related to Chu Zhongtian.

"Do you need to get him to push it back?" Kalanca asked Mourinho.

The Portuguese head coach shook his head: "No, let's take a look, let's talk about it."

※※※ Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Kaka, then pulled it to the side by himself, running and shouting at Kaka: "Pass the ball to me!"

Kaka decisively passed the football over and ran forward by himself.

When Chu Zhongtian faced the incoming ball, he did not stop, but directly poked the ball to Kaka's front, and he happened to catch it.

Kaka continued to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, and the two of them worked together in the middle, while advancing forward.

Benfica's players did not expect Real Madrid to play in the middle, and they kept pounced on it, and were constantly overwhelmed by the wall-to-wall cooperation between Chu Zhongtian and Kaka.

Soon they found out that they could not do this, because if they pounced on him, they would be empty behind them. So when they arrived at the 30-meter area, Chu Zhongtian and Kaka encountered resistance - Kaka was entangled, and he ran forward and the Benfica player who was guarding him retreated. Chu Zhongtian could not pass the football to him.

While he could not pass the ball, Benfica planned to come up to cut off Chu Zhongtian's ball.

However, Chu Zhongtian reacted faster than they thought.

He seemed to have gently swung the football forward at the moment when Kaka was entangled, and then swung his thighs... and shot hard from a long time!!

"Chu——!!"

"It's so dangerous..."

The ball that Chu Zhongtian shot did not hit the door frame, but tilted out.

Judging from the slow move behind the goal, there are still many deviations.

But Chu Zhongtian didn't seem to take the ball that missed the shot.

He is creating psychological pressure for Benfica's players. Do you think I can only pass the ball to others? Then I will shoot. Do you think I can shoot? No, I will pass the ball! Do you think I either pass the ball or shoot? Ha, I will also drive the ball in!

Since he has many pass options for Kaka, it is necessary to make more choices for Benfica players on defense. In this way, when they don’t know what they are going to do, they will naturally find opportunities.

A few minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback. This time, Chu Zhongtian was still looking for opportunities to cooperate in the middle and retreating Kaka. He had just passed the football and ran forward by himself. A Xavi Garcia immediately posted next to him.

He didn't tell Kaka what to do, because he believed that a player like Kaka would know what to do.

Sure enough, when Kaka saw someone around Chu Zhongtian, he immediately passed the football diagonally to the ribs, which was the space left after Harvey Garcia posted it.

After receiving Kaka's pass, Di Maria showed his outstanding skills. She saw his body twisting constantly and then passing the opponent's player. Unfortunately, the goalkeeper Morila finally broke into the penalty area and was saved by goalkeeper Morila.

Although it was a away game, under Chu Zhongtian's command, Chu Zhongtian had completely gained a foothold in the midfield, but what about Benfica? Neither Aimal nor Xavi Garcia could compete with Real Madrid's midfield.

Khedira protected Chu Zhongtian very well, allowing him to move forward as much as possible, Wang Qiang went forward.

In addition, after Kaka retreated, the deep space came out, and Kaka could play his good at driving the ball. Another advantage of Kaka retreat was to pull out Benfica's midfield defense, so that they could no longer defend the front of the penalty area and maintain a suitable distance from the central defender, so that Real Madrid could take advantage of it.

※※※"It seems he has found a solution..." Kalanca said to Mourinho.

Mourinho pondered: "It seems that he is really good at it..."

"Real Madrid takes the initiative, and Benfica can only shrink and defend at his home court. This Real Madrid team is even better than last season... Chu is in good order in the midfield!!"

The commentator also praised Real Madrid very much.

Indeed, everyone can see that since Chu Zhongtian started, Real Madrid has often gained an advantage in the game, especially in the midfield, where Chu Zhongtian completely ruled.

Even when Xavi Alonso was there, Real Madrid's dominance in the midfield was not so outstanding.

Chu Zhongtian can always make judgments based on different situations on the field, thereby commanding the team to avoid danger.

He just asked Kaka to retreat, which opened up a new world for Real Madrid. Benfica's defensive players are very conflicted now. If they don't go out to defend, they will let Kaka, Chu Zhongtian and others perform in front of them. If they press them out to defend, because the distance is too far and the space behind them is too large, it will just give Kaka room for attack... It's a dilemma!

※※※The game ended in the 27th minute, and Real Madrid finally opened the deadlock.

This time, Kaka and Chu Zhongtian were seeking cooperation in the middle again. Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Kaka in the backcourt, and then ran forward by himself. After Kaka passed the football to him, he also ran forward by himself.

The two made a two-way and one-way cooperation. Benfica's midfielder thought they would continue to cooperate, so he decided to stare at Kaka.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian did not pass the football to Kaka at all, but directly passed it to C. Ronaldo on the sidelines.

c. Ronaldo was of course also under key control. So he passed the football directly to Kaka who had already run to the front.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly transferred to C. Ronaldo, asking Benfica to give up on continuing to keep his guard against Kaka and instead defend Ronaldo. When Ronaldo saw that the opponent gave up his guard against Kaka, he immediately passed the ball.

When Kaka received the ball, he took it forward. At this time, Benfica's defensive player rushed over again. He passed the football sideways.

Chu Zhongtian inserted from behind and received the ball!

He swung his foot, and Benfica's defender and midfielder thought he was going to shoot, so they were all guarding against his shot.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian swung his foot down and made a diagonal pass. The football rolled in front of Benfica's defender, and Kaka received the ball again!

"Kaka——"

Kaka, who received the ball, did not slow down, but accelerated the two Benfica defenders and rushed over!

Before Benfica's two defenders could react, Kaka had already rushed through them!

"One-stop!"

Real Madrid fans cheered loudly.

Benfica's goalkeeper Morila hurriedly abandoned the goal and tried to block Kaka's shooting angle.

Kaka did not shoot, but turned around and passed the football to the middle!

When the football passed by goalkeeper Morrira, despair came to his heart.

Higuain, who was waiting in the middle, was not polite and swept the ball!

The football flew directly into the empty goal... "The ball is in - beautiful cooperation!"
