Beast King Costa

Chapter 352
After Porto, Sporting Lisbon, and Braga all successfully scored three points, Benfica, which suffered from very serious injuries, was under great pressure.

At present, Fernando Santos' team is full of injuries, and it is facing the home court of Leiria, which has done a good job in defense recently and has begun to play the characteristics of the newly promoted "home dragon". Fernando Santos is very worried about the team's performance here Something unexpected happened to the weak newly promoted.

Facing the Leiria game, Fernando Santos even put on a 4-3-3 formation directly.

The reason for not playing 4-2-3-1 is simple: Leiria's goal must be just one point. In this case, this game is a tough battle for Benfica!Moreover, Benfica needs to resolve the battle as soon as possible in the first half of the game. In this case, a 4-3-3 formation in this game may be more efficient.

Goalkeeper: Quim!
Although Scolari was still called up to the national team by Scolari during the international match week, Quim still lost to Ricardo, the No. [-] national goalkeeper, in the competition for the goalkeeper position, and could only sit out the two international games. Watching Ricardo's various tricks from the bench.

As for the current No. [-] goalkeeper of the Benfica first team, Moreto, he came off the bench last week and staged his debut in the Brazilian national team-from now on, Moreto can also proudly tell everyone he knows One sentence: "I'm not just a Brazilian player, I'm a Brazilian international!"

Of course, Moreto also understands very well that this Brazilian national team's first show is likely to be the last time in his career that Moreto will represent the Brazilian national team in an international A-level event-in the final analysis, he is the head coach for the training partner Just because the players have a chance to become a "Brazilian international" does not mean that Moreto will be used by the national team in the future.

At present, Moreto has begun to look for a next home who can rent himself to play the starting lineup before the winter transfer window opens. According to Moreto, the current loan market is very interested in Moreto, but he can give The teams that Moreto provides the main goalkeeper position basically cannot afford Moreto's high salary. This requires Moreto to negotiate further with the team that wants to rent him.

At least, in order to play the main position, Moreto is still willing to give up part of his salary.

Backline, from left to right: Leonardo Bastos, Luizon, David Luiz, Paulo Jorge!

At right back, Fernando Santos started Paul Jorge directly.

It has to be said that after Boavista wingback Paul Jorge switched to Benfica, his state can be described as quite hot, and he has grown very fast!

Fernando Santos originally wanted Paul Jorge to play as a full-back, but now, Paul Jorge is not only able to play the role of a full-back, he can even adapt to playing as a full-back and a winger. The team's skills and tactics are of great help!

The starting two full-backs of Leonardo Bastos and Paul Jorge, the biggest effect on Benfica is to fly with both wings, and they will continue to send assists for the frontcourt!
Assis and Nelson, who were rested in this game, have a balanced offense and defense, and they can make the team's wing system more stable.

Since the main tone of this game is the tough battle, then it must be the full-back combination of Leonardo Bastos and Paul Jorge, which will help the team's frontcourt even more!

Midfield position, Beto, Fabrizio Milico, Rui Costa!

It is said that it is a three-midfield configuration, but in fact, it means that Fabrizio Milico, who is in the second forward position, retreats slightly to connect the midfielder and striker.

During the youth training period, Fabrizio Milico played in the midfield position. Later, the position was arranged by the coach to move forward continuously and play the forward position.

Therefore, in the midfield position, Fabrizio Milico can also adapt relatively.

But I haven't played in the midfield position for so many years, and I don't know how Fabrizio Milico can adapt.

This arrangement also has a very important role for Benfica's tactical system-at some point, Fabrizio Milico, who is slightly withdrawn, can return to the front line and turn the lineup into an extreme 4- The 2-4 lineup puts more pressure on Leiria's defense, and uses Fabrizio Milico's offensive ability to make Leiria's Fang Shuo caught off guard!
Three forwards in the frontcourt: Calagonis, Diego Costa, Nuno Gomez!

It is said that it is a three-forward configuration, but it is still only Diego who is in the penalty area of ​​Leiria!

Calagonis and Nuno Gomez will still appear on both sides of Leiria's penalty area, playing a winger role and delivering shells to Diego in the penalty area.

And whether this game can break Leiria's iron barrel formation, it depends mainly on whether Diego's "battering ram" can break Leiria's "home dragon" golden body!

On the bench, Benfica's game can be said to be stretched.

The striker substitute, in addition to Mantolas, is the top scorer of the Benfica B team, Diego Sosa.

However, now Fernando Santos does not dare to hope that Diego Souza can make any contribution to the first team, so!The immediate combat force that can be used is Mantolas, the "national hero" of Angola.

The midfield substitute is even weaker...

In addition to Joao Kumbra, who is useless, Yu Dabao, who has not yet proved himself in the first team-although Joao Kumbra has not yet staged his debut in the Portuguese Super League in Benfica, he has already played in the first team. During the Spanish training camp, he played two games, but Yu Dabao has not played any official or unofficial games for the first team.

It's okay to have a defender on the bench. The versatile backcourt Assis and the Russian Kalyaka, who has changed from a defensive midfielder to a central defender this season, are all there.

The team's main right back, Nelson, did not enter the squad for this game. The reason is sad to say: When warming up before the game, Nelson felt his calf was a little tight, which seemed to be a sign of a strain.

This terrified Fernando Santos!
You know, the current injury situation of the team is not generally serious, but it really can't afford to be injured!Can't afford to hurt!

Therefore, Fernando Santos directly took Nelson off the bench, and this was how Yu Dabao entered the bench.

This is the first time that Yu Dabao has entered the squad of Benfica's first team, even in the 18-man lineup.

Of course, Yu Dabao just regarded it as an opportunity to watch the official first-team match from the sidelines at close range. Yu Dabao didn't dare to think that Fernando Santos would give him a chance to play.

However, many times, it is so unexpected.

This seemingly insignificant game, which had nothing to do with Yu Dabao, actually made Yu Dabao's debut in the first team of Benfica. This is also the debut of a Chinese player in the Portuguese Super League!

The head coach of Leiria is a young coach named Domingos Pechincia!

Domingos Pechincia is very young, only 38 years old!
In this game, Benfica's starting midfielder Rui Costa is 37 years old!As the head coach of Leiria, he is only one year older than Rui Costa.

本场比赛，莱里亚依旧是一套5-4-1阵型出战，这套4-5-1阵型，也是莱里亚这支升班马作为“主场龙”抢分的关键！

Goalkeeper: Fernando Platz
Defenders: Valdomiro, Lalangelo, Marcos Antonio, Paulo Gomez, Damion Tissier.

Midfielders: Hugo Faria, Harrison, Paulo Cesar, Modu Sugu.

Forward: Kadu.

The biggest feature of Domingos Pechincia's 5-4-1 formation is...there is no full-back!There is no real full-back at all. The five full-back players that Domingos Pechincia put up to the extreme are all of the attributes of a central back. is very powerful.

This also means that Domingos Pechincia's team does not have any option to add assists!
On the counterattack end, the high center forward Kadu was in the front, and Harrison and Paul Cesar behind him quickly rushed to the frontcourt to respond, completing a small-scale three-person counterattack.

But I have to say that Domingos Pechincia's tactical design is very good, and the counter attack efficiency of the three is extremely high, causing many visiting teams to lose the goal!
Facts have proved that Leiria's midfield defense is also very tough!

At the beginning of the game, Benfica, who was a guest, was surrounded by the midfielder of Domingos Pechincia's team very badly.

虽然这场比赛本菲卡打出来的是一个4-3-3阵型，但实际上，跟4-2-4也没啥区别——法布里齐奥·米利科确实是很久没有在中场位置出现了，所以位置感很差！

In this game, he played a lot of time in the frontcourt position, and even often repositioned with Diego, which made Diego often have three or four defensive players... Oh!And his teammate Fabrizio Milico also interfered with Diego's running route because of his heavy position.

This made Diego very uncomfortable.

however!
The most uncomfortable thing for the Benfica team happened in the 12th minute of the game!

Benfica, which already had a team full of injuries due to the invasion of the FIFA virus, encountered a worse situation especially when the midfielder was already stretched!

Rui Costa fell to the ground in a midfield confrontation with Leiria midfielders Harrison and Modu Sugu, because Modu Sugu accidentally stepped on Ruy when he fell to the ground. Rui Costa's ankle injury caused Rui Costa to scream in pain on the spot.

"what!!!!!"

The referee didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stopped the game and let the Benfica team doctor enter the field.

The Benfica players hurriedly gathered around to see what happened to Rui Costa.

after all!Rui Costa is the soul of the team!He is a famous player of Benfica!In the absence of Pettit and Carter Solanis, Benfica's midfield organization and team creativity have to be supported by Rui Costa alone.

just now!

If the veteran Rui Costa is injured, the Benfica midfielder will be GG-Joao Kumbra and Yu Dabao will be on the bench, or Kaliaca, who was born as a defensive midfielder, will be replaced. To the midfield position?But Kaliaka plays an intercepting midfielder, and his substitute Rui Costa has little effect on the team's midfield organization.

However, Modu Sugu didn't do it on purpose, he also lost his center of gravity when he landed, and that's why he accidentally stepped on Rui Costa's ankle-Modu Sugu was even worried about Rui Costa's ankle. Costa's situation, the anxiety on his face is more dignified than the Benfica players, you know, the one who was accidentally injured by Modu Sugu was Rui Costa, the golden generation of Portuguese football!

If Rui Costa ended his career because of this injury, then Modu Sugu would be the sinner of Portuguese football!
Benfica's team doctor treated Rui Costa's injury for a long time. After 3 minutes passed, Rui Costa still failed to stand up from the ground. The Benfica team doctor could only greet the stretcher on the sidelines to enter the field.

Even after Benfica's team doctors dealt with the injury again for about a minute, seeing Rui Costana's still painful expression, the team doctors shook their heads helplessly, and finally made a gesture to Fernando Santos on the sidelines. Substitution gesture.

"Diego, come here!"

Rui Costa endured the pain and beckoned Diego, who was closest to him, to come closer to him.

"Boss Rui! How's it going?"

"I don't know either! I guess it's very serious! Ah..."

Rui Costa whispered to Diego: "You go to the sidelines and let Coach Santos call Yu to warm up! Replace me with Yu! Don't replace me with Joao! Got it!?"

"it is good!!!"

Diego didn't dare to be negligent, he hurried to the sidelines and told Fernando Santos on the sidelines: "Coach Santos, Boss Rui asked me to tell you, replace him with Yu Dabao, don't use Joao Kumbra !"

"Um???"

Fernando Santos was a little surprised, and he confirmed it again: "Diego! You mean, it was Rui who said it himself, asking Yu Dabao to replace himself?"

"That's right! Boss Rui said it himself!"

"Row!"

Fernando Santos still respects Rui Costa and said that he originally planned to let Joao Kumbra play to replace the injured Rui Costa, but since Rui Costa suggested that Yu Dabao play Replaced himself, then!Fernando Santos called Yu Dabao to prepare for the warm-up.

"Yu! Your chance has come!"

"I???"

Yu Dabao was not usually surprised: "Coach Santos, are you sure? Let me play???"

Fernando Santos nodded lightly and said: "That's right! Hurry up to warm up and change your jersey! Don't waste time!"
