Chapter 350 FIFA Virus
After the twelve-day international competition week ended, the players gradually returned to the club from their respective national teams.

Benfica, which was originally strong and unstoppable, encountered a very difficult problem after the return of many international players-the FIFA virus hit, and Benfica's strong lineup encountered a very large area of ​​​​injuries!

First of all, there is the Mexican international Francisco Fonseca, who has been in a very hot state recently.

In the international competition week, Francisco Fonseca represented Mexico in the first game against Honduras. In a top fight, he was directly hit in the waist by an opponent player and suffered serious waist injuries. According to the optimistic estimate of the team doctor, Francisco Fonseca is out for at least 6 weeks!If the situation is not optimistic, it may be basically reimbursed for the season in 2006.

Francisco Fonseca's position is fine.

Diego is unstoppable at the starting center position. With Diego, the "popular fried chicken", standing in the starting position healthy and healthy, Benfica does not need to worry about the front line at all.

Besides, the forward substitutes include Fabrizio Milico and Mantoras. Whether they are fast or high, there are still candidates available.

What makes Fernando Santos find it tricky is that both captain Petit and "Wide Sword" Simão suffered injuries during the international competition week-these two core players of the Portuguese national team are in Benfica's tactical system. Indispensable status!

Pettit was directly stepped on his ankle by his opponent. At that time, he couldn't continue the game and was carried off by a stretcher.Fortunately, there were no fractures or fractures, but at least two or three weeks of injury would have to be missed.

As for Simang, he was roughly knocked to the ground by his opponent when he broke through and suffered a thigh strain. In the past month, he has basically been unable to see this "wing sword" galloping on the green field. figure.

In addition to Francisco Fonseca, Petit and Simao, Carter Solanis was also elbowed on the temple by his opponent during the header during the international competition week and suffered a slight brain injury. Concussion, although the injury will not be too long, but the next round of the Portuguese Super League will definitely not be able to catch up.

In this way, in the next round of the league, the central axis of Petit and Carter Solanis will be injured together. Benfica's midfielder will have a very serious impact on both defensive interception and organizational creativity.

But at least, Benfica's back line is quite healthy.

David Luiz, Luisson, and Kaliaka were all recruited by the national team, and they all played the whole game on behalf of their respective national teams, but they still maintain a good physical condition, so there is no need to worry about the manpower of the defenders.

Benfica doesn't have many options for the defense this season. If one of David Luiz or Luizon suffers an injury, then Benfica's defense problem will be very serious.

however……

In the current situation, Fernando Santos is also very headache.

Both the midfielder and the midfielder are missing, and the side blaster is also missing. Although there are still people who can use it, the effect is definitely not as high as that of Pettit, Carter Solanis, and Simao, which fit the team so well. Tactical system.

"Hey! This damn FIFA virus!"

After Fernando Santos looked at the team's injury list, he shook his head like a rattle. It was really hard to accept that the main force framework suddenly lacked more than half of the people. Before, there were all kinds of happy troubles, which players should be used to start, Which players should be used as substitutes, now... almost the starting lineup is tricky.

In desperation, Fernando Santos could only go to the Benfica B team to transfer manpower.

The two players who were transferred to the first team were Yu Dabao and Diego Souza who had been promoted to the first team and trained together for a week.

Currently, Diego Souza is the top scorer of Benfica's B team. Although the Brazilian young player performed unsatisfactorily during the Spanish preparations after he first joined Benfica, after integrating into the life of Portugal, Diego Souza gradually became more and more talented. Show off your extraordinary potential.

Although Yu Dabao is not yet the main force of the Benfica B team, and he has not even fully integrated into the life in Portugal, Yu Dabao has made great progress. Santos recommended that Yu Dabao temporarily join the first team to supplement the thickness of the midfield.

Of course……

It is not ruled out that the coaching staff of the Benfica B team is worried that the main midfielder will be transferred to the first team, so they strongly recommend Yu Dabao, who is not yet the main force of the Benfica B team, to the first team.

Anyway, Yu Dabao was transferred to the first team, that is, to supplement the manpower of the first team training session, or to add to the 18-man roster for the official game. At present, there are two main players in the first team, Beto and Rui Costa. , and even the potential young player Joao Cumbra, it is not yet Yu Dabao's turn to start the game.

However, with the overall situation of the game set, Yu Dabao still had the opportunity to come off the bench for about ten minutes and complete his debut in the Portuguese Super League in Benfica.

Therefore, Yu Dabao is still very excited about the notice that the first team will be raised again.

Diego was as excited as Yu Dabao.

Because, Diego will feel that the two core midfielders in Pettit and Carter Solanis are temporarily injured, and the opponents in the next round are not strong. The reason for the key battle of the Federation Cup, Yu Dabao has a very good chance to complete his debut in the Portuguese Super League in the next Portuguese Super League!

Yu Dabao's mentality is very relaxed, and he doesn't care too much about the chances he will get to play in the next round of the Portuguese Super League.

Anyway, since he was transferred to the first team by coach Fernando Santos, he should train well with the first team, and it would be good to train with many stars to increase the ball.

After all, coach Fernando Santos's Greek midfielder Carter Solanis, the core midfielder, only suffered a slight concussion injury, and he missed a game.

Beto, the most prestigious player in the Benfica team, Rui Costa, and even Joao Kumbra, who can play the main role in the midfield, even if Pettit has to be injured for a while In terms of time, Yu Dabao was still far behind in terms of the starting lineup.

During the few days when he was transferred to the first team for training, Yu Dabao focused on consulting Benfica's veteran Rui Costa.

As a half-assistant coach, after returning to Benfica, Rui Costa, who was trained to be the future successor of Benfica's coach, also took the trouble to play with Yu Dabao. After all, for Rui Costa, the team's Young midfielders, that's the "next Rui Rui".

At the end of his career, Rui Costa definitely hopes to help the team cultivate a successor of his own as soon as possible, so that he can take over the banner of Benfica's midfielder as soon as possible.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, although João Kumbra has good spirituality, he is still not mature enough in all aspects. At least in the past one or two years, he can't be expected to be able to carry the mainstay of Benfica's midfield.Even Rui Costa suggested to Fernando Santos that João Kumbra go to the Benfica B team to play games, accumulate more game time, and stop staying in the first team to waste his youth for the time being.

However, I don’t know why, Fernando Santos still loves Joao Kumbra. Although he has not given Joao Kumbra any chance to play, he still keeps Joao Kumbra in the first team. I don't know what idea Fernando Santos is playing in the gourd.

Now that the Benfica B team has promoted one more young man, Rui Costa took the training seriously to see if Yu Dabao has the potential to succeed the mainstay of the Benfica midfielder in the future.

It wasn’t long before Yu Dabao was transferred to the first team of Benfica for joint training, so Rui Costa didn’t know where Yu Dabao’s potential would go, but at least Yu Dabao’s training attitude, Rui Kos Ta quite recognized it, so he was very willing to give Yu Dabao more advice.

Seeing Yu Dabao hugging Rui Costa's super thigh, and having a world-class midfielder like Rui Costa lead him to train, Diego also said very happily.

With Rui Costa leading him, it must be very helpful for Yu Dabao's growth.

It is even more direct than the training list listed by Caesar. Rui Costa, a world-class midfielder who has experienced many battles, can use his experience to guide Yu Dabao on the court. Read the game more intelligently, so that Yu Dabao can avoid detours on the court.

and!

In the future, Rui Costa will definitely be one of the members of Benfica's coaching staff, and may even replace Fernando Santos as the head coach of Benfica's first team in the future.

Yu Dabao has a good relationship with Rui Costa now, and he can be appreciated by Rui Costa. Then in the future, after Rui Costa retires and enters the work of the Benfica coaching staff, he will focus on cultivating the young Yu Dabao .

At that time, as Pettit, the core midfielder of Benfica, gradually ages, even if Yu Dabao has not been able to become the core of Benfica's midfield, he will slowly rise to become the main midfielder of Benfica!
But these are all beautiful reverie for the future.

The 18-man roster for the next round of the Portuguese Super League was released. Yu Dabao was not lucky enough to get the chance to start because of his good training attitude-Benfica's starting midfielder was led by Beto and Rui Costa, and Yu Dabao was selected Substitute lineup, but since Joao Kumbra has also entered the substitute lineup, the possibility of Yu Dabao getting a chance to play in this game is very low. There is a high probability that Fernando Santos will let Joao Kumbra come off the bench and replace Rui Costa gave Joao Kumbra the chance to make his debut in the Portuguese Super League.

Simao's position is also tricky.

Fernando Santos also hesitated for a long time on the starting choice on the right.

Mantolas played well on the right, but it needs to be considered that if Mantolas starts on the right, Diego does not have a relatively dominant substitute center at this point.

Although Diego Sosa is currently the top scorer of the Benfica B team, the Portuguese League and the Portuguese Super League are two different things-Fernando Santos is just asking Diego Sosa to supplement the team's training staff for the time being. Thought about substituting Diego Souza or something.

In the end, Fernando Santos made a choice that surprised everyone.

Fernando Santos actually started Nuno Gomez on the right wing!
Italian fringe international Fabrizio Milico, who was originally considered to have a high probability of being pushed to the right to start, started to play the second forward position, hiding behind Diego to eat cakes.

Fernando Santos explained his choice of personnel: "I will focus on Mantolas in the game against Sevilla in the middle of next week, so I don't plan to let Mantolas start in this game. Now the team's injury The illness is a little serious, so I have to be more cautious in employing talents."

Even when it comes to Nuno Gomez, Fernando Santos doesn't plan to start him for the entire game, probably only for half the game.

The current serious injury situation of the team makes Fernando Santos very depressed. In addition, there will be a key battle against Sevilla in the Europa League in the middle of next week, so Fernando Santos does not want to play in the next round of the Portuguese Super League. The league wastes too much energy.

"In the next round of the league, let's not waste time dismantling the ball with our opponents. We can resolve the battle in the first half of the game as soon as possible! The second half of the game just needs to go through a cutscene and finish the game. Our next priority is next week Going to Spain for the game against Sevilla!"

After all, Fernando Santos did not forget to always emphasize to the players: "We have to pay attention to the weekend games! You must protect yourself-don't get hurt! Don't get hurt! Our lineup is already invincible. Get up! If the injury continues, we don’t need to talk about the goal of the Triple Crown... If the injury continues like this, there is a high probability that we will collapse on all three fronts! Do you understand?!"

Because the lethality of the FIFA virus is so great, the Benfica club also deliberately equipped the team with a more advanced medical team, and cooperated with the Lisbon Central Hospital to prepare to build a more professional and modern recovery room to allow injured players to recover more quickly be shortened as much as possible.

After all, players are the club's most valuable asset.

Seriously treat the player's injury problem and help the players get out of the injury problem as soon as possible, that is to cherish your own wealth.

In the near future, the Benfica Club will also attract a lot of potential little monsters because of its high-end medical rehabilitation equipment and a very professional medical team, and even famous Portuguese stars choose to join the "Flying Eagles".
