Chapter 338 Diego, return to the starting lineup!
As the defending champion of the league, Porto is still the focus of this round of competition. Even after the overthrow and reconstruction of Benfica, the new season's momentum suddenly fails, but after all, Porto's strength is more stable, and their winning lineup from last season has basically remained. Or defense is the top configuration of the Portuguese Super League.

In this round, Porto's opponent is Amadora, who has a Cape Verdean culture.

At the Dragon Stadium, Amadora struggled very much. After all, most of Amadora's players were very young, and they were shocked by the majestic pressure of the audience at the Dragon Stadium.

Soon after the start of the game, Amadora conceded the ball as a matter of course.

In the 13th minute of the game, Portuguese national team center Postiga took the lead in scoring!

Postiga, who is tall, has great confrontation ability, and has a very accurate header, overwhelmed Amadora's central defender and directly headed the ball into the net to help the team break the deadlock!

In the 40th minute of the game, Postiga scored twice with ease!

This time it was not a header, but a goal in front of the goal in response to a cross from a teammate from the side!

It was the team's main midfielder, the Argentine international midfielder Lucho Gonzalez, who sent the assist for Postiga!
This is almost a perfect pass from the wing. The footwork of Argentine players is in Europe, which is really top-notch. Porto left Lucho Gonzalez, an Argentine international midfielder, in the new season. It must be hoped that Lucho Gonzalez can send all kinds of perfect assists for the powerful striker.

With a score of 2 to 0, Porto could easily complete the first half of the game. When they returned to the locker room at halftime, they all had a happy smile on their face.

After all, with the advantage of 2 goals, it is basically impossible for Amadora to achieve an equalizer at the Dragon Stadium-let alone an equalizer, with Amadora's weak strength, it is very difficult to score Porto. .

Back in the second half of the game, Amadora was in a defense, because the defensive action was too large, the midfielder Alcaraz was sent off by the referee with a red card.

There is indeed nothing controversial about this red card.

When Alcaraz was flying the shovel, his legs were not on the ground, and he made a movement similar to a kick with both feet against Lucho Gonzalez-fortunately, Lucho Gonzalez, the Argentine The international midfielder is not of "glass physique", so he would not be injured in this rough physical confrontation, but it also scared the Porto players into a cold sweat.

Lucho Gonzalez can be called the soul of Porto's frontcourt. If Lucho Gonzalez is injured, then Porto's tactical system is likely to be lacking in the organization of the Argentine international's frontcourt. And the entire tactical system that has been running in for nearly three seasons directly collapsed.

After Alcaraz was sent off with a red card, the mental state of Amadora's entire team and the fighting spirit on the field fell to the bottom.

In the 68th minute of the game, the wide player Alessandro Lopez cut directly into the middle from the side and completed a kick to continue to expand the score!
3 is better than 0!

After leading by 3 goals, Porto began to play back.

The Porto team doesn't like to wash their opponents in blood. They are better at controlling the rhythm, and controlling all kinds of data advantages on the field are at their own feet.

Fans at the Dragon Stadium thought that the home team Porto might resolve the battle without any blood with this 3-0 score. In the 90th minute of the game, youngster Sekediol who came on as a substitute added the icing on the cake and fixed the score at 4 Than 0!

The small club Amadora suffered a big defeat at the Dragon Stadium.

But this defeat will not have much impact on them-it is expected for Amadora to lose 3 points at the Dragon Stadium. After all, the Portuguese Super League has a small ball. When they come to the home games of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, they basically play the role of giving points.

But this big victory means that Porto has won four consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season!
In just one month, Porto grabbed 12 points in a row, which can be said to not lose 1 point.

With such a fierce momentum, Porto's confidence in defending the title in the new season is even stronger!

Sporting Lisbon and Braga, which were upset in the last round, have shown a good mental outlook after returning to the league in the Champions League and Europa League.

Sporting Lisbon played away against Aves.

It's another match between a giant team and a small club.

Although Ives is at home, their choice is similar to that of Amadora as a guest. They all send a semi-main team with a mix of main players and substitutes to face their opponents. Obviously, Ivis unilaterally intends to give up this game. , Prepare well for the next game.

With the opponent's choice of subjugating before a fight, Sporting Lisbon is not polite.

Brazilian forward Alejandro Alejandro started this game instead of Lidson, who played all games in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week. In his first start on behalf of Sporting Lisbon, he staged an earth-shattering hat-trick!
In the 31st minute of the first half, Alejandro single-handedly singled out the three defenders of Ives with the ball, and almost brought the ball into Ives' goal.

In the 46th minute of the first half, which was the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Alessandro's offense swept again!This time, it was still the personal ability in the frontcourt that broke through Ives's defense in the middle, and he scored the ball himself!

Not long after returning from the second half of the game, in the 53rd minute, Alessandro took advantage of a corner kick and scored directly in front of the goal!Completed his first hat-trick after traveling in Europe!
After falling behind by 3 goals, the head coach of Ives was even more open-minded, and directly made substitutions, replaced more young players on the field, replaced the main players, and prevented the main players from being injured-in any case, the score has already passed. There is no hope at all, it is better to calmly accept being defeated by a big score at home.

At least, the opponent is Sporting Lisbon, which is the pride of the Portuguese Super League in the UEFA Champions League. There is no shame in losing to such a strong team.

After leading by 3 goals, Sporting Lisbon did not make the situation worse, but started to play at a low level, which can be regarded as the last fig leaf for the opponent Aves - after all, it is also playing at their home court, if they play at their home court At home, the opponent with a big lead has put away the main force and surrendered ahead of time. If it makes the situation worse, it would not be so humane.

The score of 3 to 0 also became the final score of this game.

Sporting Lisbon can also be regarded as returning to the domestic arena in the Champions League, with a big victory to restore the momentum that the team should have.

Braga is also a guest, and their opponent is Birama.

Birama is the newly promoted polo team this season. Its strength is very limited. The size of the club can be said to be the smallest club in the history of the Portuguese Super League. There are many Portuguese Super League teams B teams participating, because of the restrictions of the league rules, even if the B team wins the championship, it is not eligible to enter the Portuguese Super League from the Portuguese League. Last season, the Portuguese League Championship was won by the Porto B team. Yes, but the Porto B team is not eligible to be promoted to the Portuguese Super League, so the promotion qualification will be postponed to the following teams.

Birama is the beneficiary of league rules.

Although this game was at home, Birama was quickly crushed by Braga's wing attack.

Diego's "old iron" Mateus is the protagonist of this game!

Although Braga's results in the Europa League are not good, they have already lost in the first round, but after returning to the Portuguese Super League, Braga's head coach Jesuardo Ferreira is still a veteran, he I still know the Portuguese Super League team quite well, knowing that there are many loopholes in Bilama's side defense, so in this game, they seized Birama's side attack.

In the end, Matthaeus scored a goal in the first half and the second half. The most exciting thing is that Matthaeus made a continuous pass through the crotch. After passing three people in a row, he cut from the side to the center to complete a goal. The offensive show of the dragon breaking the goal!

"Minho Arsenal" Braga won a 2-0 victory, which can be regarded as a small rebound.

After the three teams in the UEFA Champions League last season, the attention of Portuguese football is naturally focused on Benfica, a giant team that has emerged with a stronger momentum after being overthrown and rebuilt in the new season.

In the last round of the game, Diego, the "popular fried chicken", did not enter the team's starting roster, and did not even get time to play off the bench. This undoubtedly disappointed the Portuguese fans.

But in the away game against Ferreira, Fernando Santos' formation did not disappoint the fans.

That's right!

The day before the game, at the press conference, Fernando Santos announced his starting lineup for the game very straightforwardly.

"Because of the UEFA Europa League game in the middle of the week, some of our main players will be tired in this game. I will continue to rotate in the starting lineup to ensure that Benfica's competitiveness in the third-line battle in the new season can still maintain the best state. Moreover, my team has too many excellent players, I need to give them more playing time, so that they can have the opportunity to prove on the court that they are one of the best players in the Portuguese Super League..."

After a very routine cold booing, Fernando Santos directly announced the starting lineup for the game against Ferreira in advance.

"My starting lineup for this game has been released in advance. I don't think there is any need to leave any suspense for the fans. I hope everyone can pay attention to every player in my team, whether he is the absolute main force or a substitute. Important new recruits, they are one of the most important components of our team..."

After some more nonsense, Fernando Santos slowly solved the mystery: "As for the goalkeeper position, I will start Moreto in this game. Moreto is very good, and his goal-line skills are the best in the Portuguese Super League. Absolutely no one! Just because of the tactical reasons of the new season, I use our Portuguese national team's second goalkeeper Quim more."

"Defense line! Leonardo Bastos last game... oh! That is, the Europa League game. He sent a very perfect assist arc at the last moment. I think his state has returned to his best. Jia, he deserves to start this game! With him as a two-wing partner, we brought in the versatile Paul Jorge from Boavista in the offseason! I chose Kaliaka and David for the center back combination Luiz. Although Kaliaka has been playing in the defensive midfielder position before, but he also played very well in the central defender position, you can look forward to it."

"Midfielder! I chose Beto and Carter Solanis for the double midfielder, but I can tell you in advance. Rui Costa, who everyone is most looking forward to, will come on as a substitute for Carter Solanis in the second half. During this time Rui I feel uncomfortable in the knee, so I will be more cautious in using him."

"For the frontcourt! I chose Manu, Fabrizio Milico, and Mantolas! Here, I would like to thank Mantolas for his sacrifice for the team. In fact, during the offseason, there have been many The team hoped that Mantolas would transfer and go to their team to supplement the striker firepower. But Mantolas chose to stay, and even began to change to the wing position in order to cooperate with the team's tactical system. Mantolas has been in the training ground recently. Very good, we can wait and see how he plays in the right wing position."

"There is also Fabrizio Milico. Although his style of play is a bit embarrassing in terms of the current team's tactical system, Milico hopes to stay and play in Benfica. He has gradually adapted to the second Forward position. Will also be Nuno Gomez's regular substitute in the future."

"As for the center position!"

Finally, the topic of Fernando Santos has come to the forefront of the media's attention - should Francisco Fonseca, the Mexican international, be rotated into the starting lineup?Or will Diego, the "popular fried chicken", return to the starting position and continue to kill the Quartet in the Portuguese Super League?
The media still remember Diego's assist + offensive double hat-trick performance in Benfica's Portuguese Super League debut!

I can't wait for Diego to return to the starting position as soon as possible, and have another earth-shattering goal show-even if there is no goal show, it will be a big assist show!The media helped Diego brag about Simao's assist in the previous over-the-top pick for several days.

Fernando Santos' answer did not disappoint the media.

"The center position, the hottest young player in our team, Diego Costa will return to the starting position! In this game, I can assure the fans that Diego will play at least 60 minutes! Diego is still very good. Young, his physical condition is very good, and he needs to accumulate game experience now, and I will not be conservative in using Diego in the future! I hope everyone can maintain expectations for Diego's bright future!"
