Chapter 103: Battle Benfica (4) Under the Kiss of Death
Suddenly, the Magalhays Stadium fell into a tumult. Scoring at a time like this is almost the seal of the game, and it's not just a win in a game, it's an effort to save an entire season. Leiria's bench was simply a ruckus, and Mourinho even came to a passionate kneeling, like a player.
"Remaa, Rema, he saved Leiria again! He is our Savior!! Lore!! It's lore!! See you again, 'Great Benfica'! See you again, 'Little Bird'!! Just as Florno was loudly praising Old Ray. As a goalscorer, Lao Lei began to run wildly after seeing the football goal. Dodging his teammates who came up to hold him in celebration, Lao Lei ran straight to Benfica's bench.
Then he froze in front of Benfica's bench, as if admiring the desperate expressions on the faces of the Benfica players and coaches, with a smug smile on his lips. This smile, Benfica's personnel are so hateful, it makes people angry. Just when Benfica's substitute player couldn't help but want to come up and confront Lao Lei, the smile on the corner of Lao Lei's mouth suddenly widened, and he gently raised his right hand and printed it on his lips, and then raised it to Benfica's bench, which was a flying kiss action.
The person who received the kiss was the bench of Benfica, who was surrounded by frustration and disappointment. It looks like a kiss of death that makes everyone panic.
Then Lao Lei showed a bigger smile and ran away to the bench in Leiria, and knelt directly in the direction of Mourinho, who had not yet gotten up.
At this time, the camera on the field is naturally staring at the goalscorer Lao Lei, who has repeatedly entered the classic footage of the Portuguese Super League this season. So when the live broadcast director saw Lao Lei running towards Benfica, he had a hunch of what Lao Lei would do, and directly let all the cameras on the field be aimed at Lao Lei, and there was a 360-degree blind spot.
The elder Re's every move in front of the Benfica bench was shown in front of everyone. A flying kiss made everyone stunned. Florno was the first to come to his senses, exclaiming, "Roar, what is Reima. Kiss? This is Godzilla's kiss, and Benfica can't bear it. It's the kiss of death! Kiss of Death!! Benfica died from Godzilla's kiss!! Benfica baby! This is for you!! “
Florno directly defined this flying kiss, Godzilla's kiss, the kiss of death. The Leiria fans in the stands, after seeing Lao Lei's flying kiss action, stayed for a while, and suddenly sent a flying kiss in the direction of Benfica's bench. In the stands of the Magal Hayes Stadium, more than 20,000 people suddenly gave Benfica flying kisses at the same time, sending kisses of death. The camera faithfully recorded the footage of no one before or since, and Benfica may be the only team in the world to receive a kiss from a home fan on the road, which of course is a kiss of death.
And the person who caused all this was kneeling on the ground and embracing Mourinho passionately, and there were many Leiria players around him celebrating. Benfica, on the other hand, was immersed in the kiss of death, and there was a dead silence.
At the Stadium of Light at Sporting Lisbon, Porto were awarded a well-placed free-kick at the edge of the box in the final stages of the game. Just as Deco was standing in front of the ball to take the penalty, suddenly the electronic screen of the stadium played the score of the match between Leiria and Benfica, 2:1, and it was Remaia who scored. The news caused an exclamation from Sporting Lisbon fans, as some Sporting Lisbon fans were already preparing to celebrate the team's league title, and this time it could not be held as expected.
And Porto's players, who got the news, were eye-catching, and the opportunity came, the chance to catch up with Benfica. Deco's eyes lit up at this time, and he exhaled deeply, and then ran and shot. The soccer ball draws a wonderful arc that hangs in the top right corner of the goal. This was followed by the referee's whistle for the goal and the boos of the fans.
At the Magalhays Stadium, the Leiria fans were already singing and dancing, and the league title was not until the final round anyway. Benfica's players have now lost their fighting spirit, and Toney has sat in the dugout with a calm face, without giving any instructions or encouraging the players to continue to struggle. Lao Lei and his teammates are now enjoying the game and enjoying the joy of victory.
The electronic display board of the Magalhays Stadium flashed, ushering in the call of the mountain and the tsunami. The match between Porto and Sporting Lisbon is over, with Porto holding Sporting Lisbon to a surprise 2-2 draw away from home. At this moment, Leiria and Sporting Lisbon finally returned to the same running line before the final round of life-and-death battles. At this time, the stadium has really become a place of carnival. Benfica's players have been hit even harder, meaning Porto have caught up with them. In the last round, they still have to fight for the last European spot, but looking at Benfica's current mental state, the prospects are not optimistic.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game with understanding, and Leiria's substitutes rushed onto the pitch with their feet outstretched, hugging wildly with the players on the pitch in celebration. This game means that they really have a chance to compete for the coveted championship trophy. It's going to be a game that will go down in the history books of Leiria, and of course there will be two rounds to come.
In the official selection after the game, Lao Lei was once again undoubtedly elected the best of the game, and the media gave Lao Lei a perfect score of 10 points. It is not easy to face Benfica, who is going to fight to the death to protect the European quota, and Lao Lei's performance undoubtedly determines this game, one pass and one shot, Lao Lei showed his control in the game.
You must know that this season, Lao Lei scored every time he faced the top 3 games of the Portuguese Super League, and such a gold-rich performance made the media lament that the award for the best rookie player this season has been awarded. The media lamented that Quaresma and Cristiano were born at the wrong time, and that this season has been impeccable for Ray, and this is only his first season. This makes people can't help but think about Lao Lei's next performance.
After the game, in addition to the game itself, Lao Lei's impromptu kiss also became the focus of various media. After the game, when Lao Lei was blocked by reporters for an interview, he also asked about this flying kiss, Lao Lei just had to say hello and left, and did not answer this question positively. This question, after being answered, can be big or small, in the final stage of competing for the championship, Lao Lei doesn't want to make extraneous branches. On the court, only emotion prevailed over reason, and Lao Lei didn't know what he was doing for him, as if it was just instinct.
Regarding Lao Lei's flying kiss, Tony also criticized mercilessly after the game: "I don't want to say anyone? But as a young player, he should have a certain respect for Benfica. Instead of being so carried away, such a player's career will not go far. “
Although he didn't name him, Tony was obviously talking about Old Ray. And Mourinho, who protects the calf, of course, will not sit idly by, and immediately responded: "Loser, what qualifications do you have to teach the winner a lesson." And Lao Lei just kissed the fans and thanked him, so some people should not be sentimental. Benfica's name is not so dazzling, so that everyone's attention is on it. You must know that Lao Lei Ke is a good boy, and he respects anyone very much. "Of course, Mourinho's words got the collective eyes of the reporters below, and they said that you are really thick-skinned, Reima is a good child, are we talking about the same person, even the local reporters in Leiria are a little hot.
Provoked by Mourinho's words, Toni was handsome on the spot and left. Mourinho was left alone, singing a one-man show. After the game, the footage of Lao Lei Fei's kiss was also taken as a front-page picture by major newspapers, with different headlines of "Kiss of Death" and "Godzilla's Kiss". On the Internet, the video of Lao Lei Fei's kiss was also frantically clicked by fans. This flying kiss suddenly felt like stealing the limelight from these two games.
Benfica naturally had a famous name come out to criticize, and Eusebio said: "Remaia is undeniably a brilliant young player. But I think he still lacks enough respect for his opponents. In addition, Rui Costa and Gomez both spoke one after another, feeling that there was something wrong with Lao Lei's behavior. There are some senior football figures who have also joined the discussion. Of course, some people think that Lao Lei is just a young man's impulse, who was not crazy when he was young.
And among young fans, Lao Lei's status has risen rapidly. Lao Lei's series of actions won the love of this group of young people who were in rebellion, and the adjective rebellion was slowly equated with Lao Lei. With this hot wind, the Portuguese media also made a lot of money, and they all wanted to hug Lao Lei and kiss him. This season, Lao Lei's birth directly provided them with a lot of themes.
However, the controversy did not last long, and everyone's attention quickly shifted to the next two matches of Sporting Lisbon vs. Leiria. The first two games will decide the fate of the two teams with the best performances this season, whether they will have a good harvest or be empty-handed.
Sporting Lisbon's performance this season has been impressive enough, and Jardel's terrifying 40 league goals have once again rewritten the history of the Portuguese Super League. The second man in history after Gomez, who can score more than 40 goals in a single season. He even had a chance to break the half-century-old record of 43 goals. The emergence of Quaresma and Cristiana Ronaldo also gave the world enough surprises.
If it weren't for the emergence of Ray Sr., Jose Mourinho and Leiria, they could have enjoyed a glorious season of their own. And now they have to go toe-to-toe with Leiria to prove who is the king of the season. These two games are seen as a direct dialogue between Lao Lei and Jardel's Player of the Season competition, whether the long-term veteran will show glory or the supernova will shine on Portugal, which is also the biggest attraction of the two games.
The media in Portugal were now divided into two camps, each with their own reasons and arguing. However, there is a common point of view that this is a prosperous era for the Portuguese Super League. Since the departure of the golden generation of Figo, Rui Costa and Gomez, the Portuguese Super League has enjoyed a glorious season.
And the headline of the Portuguese sports newspaper may be the most apt description of "two games, two championships---- is it the glory of the giants, or the miracle of the grassroots? ”
