Chapter 161 Gutman's Curse

Chapter 161 Gutman's Curse

Just when everyone felt that Real Madrid was about to collapse, Andre led a group of players whose average age was less than 25, and forced Real Madrid to survive.

Like Odegaard last season, Wu Lei, Isco, Asensio, Sane and other players began to gain fame in European football.

In Real Madrid, a stage shrouded in halo and spotlight all day long, there is a little bit of things that will be hyped by the media.

What's more, they are still playing so well, and it is understandable that they are known to everyone.

Take Wu Lei as an example, South Korea's Sun Xingmin must be stronger than Wu Lei, but in the entire Asian football world, Wu Lei's name has become the one that Asian fans hear the most.

Who made the team he played for called Real Madrid? With the huge bonus of the team's reputation, Wu Lei will naturally rise with the tide.

The stage is also a very important reason for players. Why so many players yearn to join some wealthy teams is precisely because the wealthy teams have their own fan base, which can increase their reputation to a greater extent.

At this time, there is no player who will let their agent come out to seek benefits from Real Madrid.Odegaard is a good example.

Now the best young player of last season has been firmly on the bench in Manchester City.

At the beginning of the season, he was unable to play due to an injury. After the injury recovered, Guardiola thought that he would soon be able to return to the state he was in Real Madrid, and happily arranged for him to start the game.

Then, Odegaard completely lost the spirituality he had in Real Madrid, coupled with his very thin body, in the Premier League, a league that requires physicality, Odegaard struggled very much.

In Real Madrid, under the leadership of Andre, young players have room to play, so their economic man is very quiet this season.

On February 2th, in the 12nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Osasuna. Wu Lei scored a goal in the last 22 minutes, winning the opponent by one goal in the away game.

After this man's game, they will wait for the arrival of the Portuguese giants Benfica at home, and the Champions League knockout round has begun.

Benfica, like Sporting Lisbon, is a comprehensive sports club located in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, but its football field is more well-known.

The Benfica football team is the second club in history to win the European Champions Cup, and they have reached the Champions League final seven times, second only to Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Juventus.

In the football of the last century, Benfica is definitely a team capable of challenging the giants of the five major leagues.

And they have also produced many superstars, such as the lone wolf Eusebio, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomez...

When it comes to Benfica, one has to talk about another person, Bella Gutman, and his Gutman curse.

For the name Bella Gutman, contemporary fans may not be familiar with it, but his status in the history of world football is great.

In nearly 40 years of coaching career, the famous Hungarian coach has traveled all over Europe and many countries in South America. Especially when he was coaching in Sao Paulo, he became the founder of the 424 formation. In 1958, the Samba Army won the The World Cup will last forever.

Gutman's peak period was spent in Benfica. In 1961 and 1962, the "Eagle" defeated Barcelona and Real Madrid one after another, won the Champions League, and became the first team in history to break the monopoly of Real Madrid for five consecutive championships.

Real Madrid in the Five Eagles period won five Champions League trophies in a row, and their strength was the best in Europe.

As famous as Gutman's coaching is his "Gutman Curse".

After leading the team to defeat Real Madrid led by superstars such as Di Stefano and Puskas in the Champions League final in 1962, Gutman asked the Benfica board of directors for a salary increase, but was rejected.

Angrily, the Hungarian issued a "vicious curse" when he left the team: "From now on, Benfica will not win the European championship within 100 years!"

Gutman's venting was a prophecy.

Since then, Benfica has reached the Champions League final 6 times and the UEFA Cup final 2 times, but they have all lost!

In the 60s, he entered the Champions League final 5 times, and the last 3 times fulfilled AC Milan, the "Great International Era" and Manchester United 10 years after the Munich air crash.

In the 1990 Champions League final, although the legendary Benfica superstar Eusebio specially prayed at Gutman's grave before the game, the Portuguese team still lost 0-1 to the Rossoneri.

In the UEFA Cup final in 1983, the "Eagle" lost 1-2 to Anderlecht.

In the 2012/13 Europa League final, Benfica lost 1-2 to Chelsea.In stoppage time, Ivanovic scored a header to kill the opponent.In the end Chelsea won the Europa League.

In the final of the 2013/14 Youth Champions Cup, Benfica, which entered the final of the first Youth Champions League, lost 0:3 to the Barcelona Youth Team. In the end, the Barcelona Youth Team won the first Youth Champions Cup.

In the Europa League final of the 2013/14 season, after 120 minutes of fierce fighting, Cardoso and Rodrigue missed the penalty kicks of Benfica. This time, Benfica fell in the penalty shootout just like 26 years ago.

This is their latest chance to break the curse, but what can be broken is not called a curse.

Now the people of those days have changed, but the curse still hangs over Benfica and cannot go away.

In this season's Champions League, although they broke out of the group stage, but now in front of him is the strongest stumbling block this season, Real Madrid.

Benfica didn't dare to think that they could beat such a team of Real Madrid and reach the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals are already the end of their season.

On February 2th, at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid fans greeted Andre and the players with their most passionate side, waving white scarves in the air, forming an exclusive white ocean belonging to Real Madrid in the huge Bernabeu.

"Your fans are very enthusiastic!"

The Benfica manager is on the sidelines, waiting for Andre to emerge from the dressing room.

"Thank you, the fans love you."

Andre is more calm now, without showing any pride.

There are many players in the starting lineup of the visiting team that Andre is very familiar with.

The goalkeeper is the young Brazilian teenager Ederson;

Among the back four, Semedo, Luisson, Lindelof and Eliseu;

In midfield, Salvio, Pizzi, Feza and Carrillo;

Double forwards Mitte and Rafa Silva.

Benfica is worthy of the name of their European black shop. In the future, Ederson and Lindelof will beat the Manchester City duo severely.

For Real Madrid, Modric and Casemiro returned from injury in time. Benzema still sat in the stands, but this time he changed to a new partner. Carvajal felt uncomfortable in his thigh during training. The team doctor After the inspection, it was found that there were signs of overwork, and Andre excluded him from the big list.

The goalkeeper is Keylor Navas;

Among the defenders, Marcelo and Varane, Ramos and Danilo;

Midfielders Modric and Kroos sit in the double midfielder, with Ronaldo, Casemiro and Isco in front;

At the top is Lucas Vazquez.
