Beast King Costa

Chapter 305 Double Hat Trick
3 is better than 3!

The two sides returned to the same starting line for the third time in this game!

However, the time left for the "Flying Eagles" Benfica and the "Bats" Valencia is running out!
When David Villa celebrated his goal "hat-trick" in this game as if he was on the Mestalla Stadium, and returned to the center circle to continue the game, the regular time of the game was already left. 15 minutes to go!
As an irrelevant friendly match, the referee team will not leave much stoppage time for both sides-although 4 goals have been scored in the second half of the game, and even, according to the current trend of the game, this game is still There is the possibility of further goals, but the injury time given to the two teams by the referee team will most likely not exceed 5 minutes.

After all, in this game, Valencia and Benfica still played quite smoothly. There was no conflict on the field between the two sides, nor wasted real game time due to injuries, and there was no need to give too many injuries. Stoppage time.

Before the game continued, the head coaches of the two teams made substitutions and adjustments at the same time!

"Flower handsome" Sanchez Flores completed quite a bold substitution-Italian Moreno, Cape Verdean Miguel, two full-backs, replaced the lagging central defender David Nava Luo, midfielder Albelda!

obviously!
Sanchez Flores decided to restore his regular tactical lineup 4-2-3-1 at the end of the game, allowing Vicente and Joaquin to focus on the offensive end and replace the two full-backs Players come to fill the position behind them, so that they can boldly and confidently rush forward!

This substitution adjustment seems to be conservative with two defensive players, but it is actually not conservative!

The presence of Moreno and Miguel can fully unleash Valencia's offensive talents on both sides, allowing Vicente and Joaquin to fly on both wings in a true sense, making Valencia's three lines of attack in the frontcourt fully activated.

Even David Villa can cruise behind Fernandez Morente with more confidence, playing as a free man in the frontcourt, causing more trouble for Benfica's defense.

perhaps!

After such substitutions and adjustments, David Villa's "big four" or even "big five" in this game is no longer just a fantasy of Spain's hottest striker, right?
Portuguese coach Fernando Santos also made substitutions on the offensive end!

Fernando Santos' substitution adjustment was even more extreme.

Rui Costa and Francisco Fonseca go into battle together!
Replaced Leonardo Bastos, Simao!
这意味着，本菲卡最后15分钟的常规时间，将变成一个之前并没有演练过的4-3-3或者是4-3-1-2阵型！

Francisco Fonseca and Diego stood directly in the Valencia penalty area to receive the high ball. After David Navarro, the only tall center back in the Valencia lineup, came off the field, Ayala The two national center backs, Albiol and Albiol, immediately felt the pressure.

"Two centers? Or three strikers?"

Diego watched Fernando Santos make such substitutions and adjustments. He was a little confused. He had never practiced similar tactics in training sessions before. In fact, Diego had never played with Francisco Fonseca at all. Now The two big centers look at me and I look at you. Obviously, everyone is very confused-what is Coach Santos planning to do?

"Diego!"

Fernando Santos can clearly see that Diego is confused, and he doesn't know how to play after such a substitution and adjustment. Costa called Diego to come to him.

I saw Rui Costa simply explained: "The next time I will play 4-3-1-2, mainly in the middle! There are no two crosses to you from the side, only I will play directly in the middle The ball is coming to you and Fonseca! Of course, you two need to be more flexible in your position in the penalty area of ​​Valencia - Fonseca will take on more supporting work, so you should run as much as possible and bear the burden. It’s time to grab some work in front of the goal, and Nuno will make up for the second penalty kick behind you, so you can rest assured!”

After listening to Rui Costa's tactical interpretation of the last 15 minutes of the game, Diego couldn't help but shine: "Then I am an all-round big center!? Wow, that is the absolute core of the team's frontcourt attack Yes! Right!?"

"That's right!"

Rui Costa patted Diego's arm encouragingly and said: "Young man! Come on! Over at Valencia, La Liga's best striker David Villa has already scored a hat trick. If you want to prove that you are the best striker in the Portuguese Super League in the future, then you have to score a hat trick in this game! Only then can you prove that you have the ability to compete with the best shooters in La Liga."

"no problem!!!"

Diego showed a confident smile: "The rest of the game time is up to me! We Benfica must win this game!"

"Okay! Let's see your performance!"

Rui Costa didn't think Diego was boasting.

Since the start of the preparation period for the new season of Benfica, Rui Costa can see from Diego's diligent training attitude and various explosive performances in the previous warm-up matches that Diego is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the starting position of the Portuguese Super League giants , Even Rui Costa is optimistic about Diego's potential.

future!

Diego is fully capable of going to a bigger and more prestigious world-class club and becoming a superstar!

As for how long it will take to play for a world-class giant club, it depends on whether Diego can fully realize his talent day after day without fear of loneliness and suffering training!
In the 76th minute, both sides completed substitution adjustments!
As a result, the two "legion teams" in the Iberian Peninsula had their respective head coaches only "press the button" in the last 15 minutes of the game, and came up with their own changes. After returning to the same starting line for the second time in the game , the decisive battle is the final outcome!
"Beep..."

Seeing that the players on both sides had already settled down, the referee blew his whistle—the final decisive battle!Officially begin!
Who can win this inconsequential victory? !

It depends on the final changes of the head coaches of both sides, who can achieve better results!

At least, judging from the aggressiveness of the replaced players, it must be that Benfica is stronger.

Francisco Fonseca!

Although it is his debut in Europe, the Mexican international has played quite well in the Mexican Super League, the North American Gold Cup, the North American and Caribbean Intercontinental League, and even this summer's World Cup in Germany!
As a high center forward who is good at physical confrontation, good at header bombing, even the frequency of his feet is as fast as that of traditional Mexican players, and his footwork is not rough, Francisco Fonseca's technical characteristics are quite restrained by Spanish technical central defenders.

Rui Costa!
Not to mention that.

A representative figure of Portugal's golden generation and a meritorious midfielder of Serie A giant AC Milan. Whether it is the European Cup, World Cup, or Champions League, he has made great achievements - who is a football player in the Iberian Peninsula who doesn't know him? What about Rui Costa’s name?

Even, when Rui Costa was holding the ball, David Silva and Marchena seemed particularly nervous, for fear that Rui Costa's iconic "sticking cut" would pass from them all of a sudden. Passed through the gap between them, penetrated the defense behind him, and sent it directly to Diego's feet in the penalty area.

Based on the performance of Benfica's young big center Diego in the previous game, Marchena and David Silva both believe that as long as Rui Costa can send the ball to Diego's feet, then Diego has a high probability of being able to Will allow Rui Costa to recover his assist stats.

And Diego himself~
That must be the second hat-trick of the game, helping Benfica overtake the score again!

It has to be said that Diego is also waiting for this opportunity.

However, Rui Costa was not in a hurry to pass the ball to Diego. After all, he has only played for 3 minutes. Rui Costa, who has reached the twilight of his career, needs a certain amount of warm-up time. Find the rhythm on the field, and use the midfielder's patient control of the ball by the way, waiting for the opponent's defensive loopholes to appear.

Once there is even a small flaw in the positioning of Marchena and David Silva, then!Rui Costa will give them a fatal blow!
Until the 83rd minute of the game, Rui Costa still dominated the control of the ball in the middle of the midfield.

He is like a sucker dripping under his feet, and he controls the ball firmly under his feet. His control rhythm is very slow, but no matter how Marchena or David Silva press, there is no way to stop Rui. Costa's ball was snatched away.

perhaps!It is impossible for Rui Costa to play a full 90 minutes due to his age.

But in about half an hour of playing time, he was still able to give full play to his top European pass control ability and "old monster level" game experience, leaving his opponents helpless.

Just like the famous words of NBA superstar Duncan: "The future is yours."

indeed!

In the future, it will definitely be a midfielder like David Silva, who is more creative and has a faster pass control frequency.

but now!
It is still the world of Rui Costa, a classic midfielder!

The 87th minute of the game!

Rui Costa is a blockbuster as long as he does not move!
Facing the double-teaming of Marchena and David Silva, Rui Costa suddenly passed through the crotch, wearing David Silva's crotch!
Before this crotch passing, there was no warning, no fake action, so that Marchena and David Silva had no defenses, just watched Rui Costa from their side in a daze Wipe it away, and by the time they reacted, Rui Costa had already kicked the ball!

this time!

What Rui Costa chose was not his iconic "stick to the ground", but a high ball pass!

The most important thing is that Rui Costa's high ball cross is not looking for Diego's strong point, but looking for the Mexican high center forward Francisco Fonseca who came off the bench with Rui Costa at the end of the second half !

This made Ayala and Albiol in Valencia's penalty area quite helpless, and they did not dare to double-team against Diego-if Rui Costa sent the ball to Diego, then Ayala and Albiol don't have to think about anything, just give up the point of Francisco Fonseca and double-team directly against Diego and it will be stable!

Now, they can only use man-to-man tactics!

Ayala is in charge of marking Diego, and Albiol is fighting for the top with Francisco Fonseca!

However, Francisco Fonseca did not directly throw his head towards the goal. He made a choice that surprised Valencia's defense players-the header was passed to Nuno Gomer who followed outside the penalty area. Go in the direction of Adams!

"Oops!!!"

Only then did Sanchez Flores realize that because of the eye-catching performance of Benfica's young big center Diego Costa, they even forgot that Benfica also has the Portuguese national team on the front line, also a golden generation of elf killer Nuno What about Gomez!
Sanchez Flores even yelled loudly: "Fill the seat!!! Hurry up and make it up!!!"

Seeing Nuno Gomez trying to shoot, Ayala resolutely gave up Diego beside him, and quickly made up for it—blocking the hole with his body!

however!
Nuno Gomez's kicking posture is just a fake move!

Seeing that Ayala was thrown into the air by him, Nuno Gomez smiled knowingly: You are not dead this time?

Nuno Gomez flicked the ball over Ayala's head and sent it to Diego's feet in the penalty area.

At this moment, there are no defensive players around Diego at all, and because Francisco Fonseca on the other side brought Albiol very close to the baseline, so!Diego is not suspected of any offside at this moment!

Eat pie balls completely!

Now that Nuno Gomez reciprocated and fed the ball to his mouth, Diego naturally couldn't be sorry for the high expectations of the team's big brother.

Facing Valencia goalkeeper Luis Motta, Diego calmly dunked. After dunking the goalkeeper, he calmly pushed and shot to complete his third goal of the game!

4 to 3! ! !

hat trick! ! !

The second hat trick of this game was born! ! !

A textbook perfect collaboration in the frontcourt created an absolute scoring opportunity. Each of the four players in the frontcourt participated in the support before the goal and participated in the attraction of Valencia's defensive center of gravity.

Most importantly, this goal also helped the "Flying Eagles" Benfica win the final victory of this warm-up match!

4 is better than 3!

It is also the final score of the game!

As a guest, Benfica won their five consecutive victories in their Spanish preparation trip at Valencia's home stadium, the Mestalla Stadium!
Perfect ending!

Next, the team will return to Portugal and after a week of rest, start the new season of Portuguese Super League, Portuguese League Cup and Europa League three-line battle!
