Beast King Costa

Chapter 385

"Huh... so boring!"

Looking at the dreary game situation, many Benfica players looked sleepy and stretched in the VIP stands of the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

"Hey! Sporting Lisbon should try another way to attack!"

"Sure enough, Coach Ferreira's tactical thinking is amazing! If the two full-backs stick to the side of Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon will have nothing to do."

"Perhaps, we should also learn from Coach Ferreira's trick in the next Lisbon derby? How to entangle the two wing attackers of Sporting Lisbon?"

"I also think there is nothing wrong with doing this. It is a headache for us to face Braga in the next round. Braga's defense this season is even better than last season!"

"Well! Meiyong Ze is really good! He is worthy of being the silver boot of the Portuguese Super League last season. After returning from injury, he is basically rushing to the rhythm of this season's golden boot!"

……

Regarding the players' discussion, Fernando Santos chose to remain silent. It seems that Fernando Santos has already figured out how to deal with the heyday Braga coached by Jesualdo Ferreira in the next round?

But no matter what, there is still a Europa League match against Grasshoppers to be played in the middle of next week, so Fernando Santos is still worried about the intensive schedule ahead.

In the 32nd minute of the game, the most threatening attack in the game finally appeared!

To the surprise of the Benfica players, the most threatening attack in this game did not come from Sporting Lisbon at Jose Alvalade's home court, but from the visiting "Minho Arsenal" Braga. of!
After Spanish playmaker Andres Madrid stole the ball in the midfield, he played a one-two with defensive midfielder Ricardo Chavez and passed the oncoming player.

After that, Andres Madrid didn't stick to the ball and kicked the ball directly to Braga's most lethal right wing this season!

Matthaus!

After watching Mateus catch the ball, various flexible feints and various speed switches, Diego in the VIP stands of the Jose Alvalade Stadium was extremely excited, even more excited than himself playing on the field. get excited...

"Old horse! Fuck him! Fuck Rodrigo! Yes! That's it! Fuck him!"

"Pass it! Pass it! The old horse is having a good time! That's right! That's it! Ricardo cut in and shot him!"

"Oh! Why does this guy fill up so fast! Before the Portuguese National Derby, I didn't see him fill up Postiga so quickly!"

Much to Diego's surprise was Sporting Lisbon's centre-back Tonel.

As the main central defender of the Portuguese national team, Tonell quickly filled his position to the wing, not giving Mateus a chance to cut in from the wing.

After all, this season Matthäus even has the nickname "Brazilian Quaresma". His inward shooting from the right wing is so efficient that he is even on the same level as European superstars like Quaresma. This is also the main reason why Matthäus was able to attract Jorge Mendes' technical analysis team to sign him from other agents.

Although he lost the angle of the in-cut shot because of Tonell's replacement, Mateus is not only good at cutting in from the side.

Back then, after Mateus was promoted from Braga B to Braga's first team, his famous work was connecting with Diego's side and center!

Although Braga's frontcourt is no longer Diego, Mateus has also developed a high degree of tacit understanding with Mayon Ze.

Without even needing Mayon Ze to signal which direction, Mateus already made a very knowing high ball pass to the middle of the Sporting Lisbon penalty area.

Since Polgar was the only one to mark, Meiyong Ze threw off the defense very lightly and completed the head-shaking attack in front of the goal!

"Wow!!!"

"Oh my god! This works!!!"

"Oh my god! Isn't Ricardo too scary!? Can you survive this distance?!"

A scene that stunned everyone appeared - Ricardo, the main goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon and the number one goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, was less than 5 meters away from Mayon Ze's header, unexpectedly!Made a god-like save!Shot Mayon Ze's header out of the baseline!

corner kick! ! !

"Damn it! Didn't even enter!?"

Seeing Meiyong Ze's header from close range to grab the point, and actually being saved by Ricciardo, Diego couldn't believe what he saw.

This is incredible!

Before this save, Diego had never had a high opinion of Ricardo, the main goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, but seeing such a quick save response, Diego decisively changed his view of Ricardo—— Cardo's ability to become the main goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team obviously has his advantages. Even if his performance this season is erratic, at critical moments, the possibility of losing the chain is still very low.

When Meiyong Ze didn't turn the header into a goal this time, his mood was a little depressed. The subsequent header turned out to be Canela, who couldn't compete with the full-back, and Sporting Lisbon easily resolved the threat of a corner kick.

For about 10 minutes after this, the scene on both sides continued to calm down.

Braga didn't seem to think that the deadlock must be broken in the first half of the game, and Sporting Lisbon, as the home team, would definitely be anxious to gain a score advantage in the first half of the game. There will be more room for adjustment.

But helplessly, Jesúardo Ferreira seems to have seen through all of Paulo Pinto's tactical arrangements. The defensive tactics of the old Portuguese coach made Sporting Lisbon's so-called flowing offense very weak. Beat Paul Pinto's "smart offensive tactics" directly back to the mortal world.

In the end, the first half ended 0-0!

The two sides returned to the locker room and began to make adjustments for the second half of the game!
After entering the intermission, Fernando Santos suddenly smiled slightly: "In the first half, Coach Jesualdo Ferreira beat Paul Pinto! In the second half, Coach Jesualdo Ferreira It's time for the coach to put his big killer on the frontcourt more, to disturb the weak defense of Sporting Lisbon."

"Um???"

Diego asked curiously: "Coach Santos, you mean, Mayon Ze?"

"Of course it's Mayon Ze, otherwise you think I'm talking about Matthäus?"

After teasing Diego, Fernando Santos explained to Diego in detail: "Meyon Ze is obviously playing back and kicking, and with Meiyong Ze there is Sessin in the middle. Although Matthaus and Wende are active, they are more feints, using various inefficient cuts to toss Sporting Lisbon's defenders."

"Oh???"

After listening to Fernando Santos' explanation, Diego couldn't help but shine and said: "Coach Ferreira wants to consume Sporting Lisbon's physical energy in the first half of the game, and then finish the game in one flow in the second half?"

"That's almost what it means, anyway! In the second half of the game, we can definitely see Jesualdo Ferreira's offensive tactics change, and the game will not become so dull."

Having said that, Fernando Santos did not forget to remind his defenders.

"Our opponent in the next round of the league will be 'Arsenal of Minho' Braga! Although Jesúardo Ferreira is still using the 4-2-3-1 defensive counterattack formation of last season, it is obvious that after introducing After the rapid growth of Mayon Ze and Mateus, Jesúardo Ferreira's offensive tactics have changed a lot compared to last season, you all have to observe patiently! The next round of the league against Brasil When adding an offensive group, you won’t make mistakes in a hurry.”

Benfica's defenders, especially the team's newcomer David Luiz, who has no history of playing against Braga, all nodded seriously in response: "Understood!!!"

As Fernando Santos expected, the second half of this "six-point battle" will not be as dull as the first half.

Back in the second half of the game, Paulo Pinto took the lead in making substitution adjustments—newcomer Yannick Jallow, who had already begun to emerge in the Portuguese Super League, replaced David, who had returned from injury.

This move is obviously for Paul Pinto to protect David's injury that has not fully healed, and Sporting Lisbon also has the task of the Champions League group stage in the middle of next week, so certain rotation adjustments need to be made.

After Yannick Jallow came on, Sporting Lisbon's attack was even more chaotic.

Although he played two amazing games, Yannick Jallow's problems are still very obvious - he lacks experience in competitions, is too young, and his playing style is quite irritable!
After facing Freschot, who has been polished by Jesúardo Ferreira for a season on the left side of Braga, Yannick Jallow, the supernova who is expected by Sporting Lisbon fans, immediately Was beaten back to prototype.

Although playing the full-back position on the field, Freyshott is often used by Jesualdo Ferreira's central defender, so in one-on-one defense, Freyshott is stronger than traditional full-back players.

And Braga's first goal in this game came from Frechette's direct steal against Yannick Jallow, and launched a side defensive counterattack!

In the 56th minute of the game, Joao Moutinho was so stared at by Braga because of Nani on the left, so he could only choose to give the ball to Yannick Jallow on the right.

Freyshott completely judged Yannick Jallow's line of taking the ball, and directly grabbed it!Just caught Joao Moutinho's pass!
Braga defensive counterattack!

After pushing forward with the ball for a while, Frechette didn't continue sticking to the ball and brought it up by himself. He decisively gave the ball to the midfield playmaker Andres Madrid!
After Andres Madrid took the ball, he immediately made an observation and distributed the ball again.

This time, Andres Madrid gave a through ball!Give the direction to Sessin!

At this moment, Braga's all-around big center in the frontcourt, Meyon Ze, is very smart, holding the two central defenders of Sporting Lisbon, Polgar and Tonelle, so that Sessin can easily hold the ball and push forward. go up.

Tonel knew that he would definitely not be able to let Sessions advance with the ball so calmly!
So Tonel tried his best to break away from Mayon Ze's entanglement, and quickly took up his position to grab the direction of Sethin's movement!
At the moment Tonell robbed, Sessin shot the ball directly to the right side of Mateus!
This time, Mateus did not have any entanglement with Rodrigo Porter after holding the ball, but chose to go to the bottom quickly!
Just like the cooperation routine with Diego at that time, Mateus directly passed the high ball to the middle after hitting the bottom, and Meiyong Ze easily completed the header again!
This time, Ricardo did not have the blessing of Goddess of Luck—even though he had judged the right direction and stretched his arms to the extreme, Ricardo still couldn't save Meiyong Ze's header!
1 is better than 0!

Braga, who is a guest, broke the deadlock!
"Wow! Lao Ma made an assist again! Lao Ma Niubi!!!"

Diego was as excited as a child, and celebrated with the dazed David Luiz beside him: "Look! David, look! Isn't my old horse super awesome! The pass is accurate! Meiyong Ze was so comfortable eating the pancakes just now! Oops! My buddy, that’s all one word—Niu Pi! Uh...well! It’s two words! Hahahahaha!"

Seeing Diego so excited that he lost his mind, David Luiz was also quite helpless.

After Braga broke the deadlock, Jesualdo Ferreira's best defensive counterattack played even more vividly.

Although only Meiyong Ze was left in the frontcourt, the two central defenders of Sporting Lisbon obviously couldn’t handle Meiyong Ze. Ricciardo's condition continued to pick up, and he saved Meiyong Ze's counterattack shots again and again.

Until the 80th minute of the game, the visiting Braga was still leading 1-0. When everyone thought that Jesuardo Ferreira, the heyday of Braga, was going to score another three points, the turning point But it appeared unexpectedly!

In the 83rd minute of the game, Nani finally found a breakthrough on the left wing, causing a foul on Luis Philippe in the frontcourt, creating a very good free kick opportunity for Sporting Lisbon.

The referee was very decisive-yellow card!Two yellows turn one red!
Luis Philippe is sent off!

At that time, Paul Pinto was about to replace Joao Moutinho. Seeing that there was a chance for a free kick, Joao Moutinho quickly waved to Paul Pinto on the sidelines. Said: "I've taken this free kick, let me go next!"

Paolo Pinto was annoyed at the time, as if he thought Joao Moutinho wasn't following the coach's orders?

However, the "True Fragrance Law" worked again.

Joao Moutinho, the master of free kicks, did not disappoint Nani's painstakingly created opportunities, and directly hit the dead corner with a free kick!

1 is better than 1!

Sporting Lisbon struggled to equalize the score!

In the end, no one could have the last laugh in this "six-point battle". Both Sporting Lisbon and Braga ended the game with an unsatisfactory 1-1 draw!
After the game, Sporting Lisbon continued to rank third in the league, and Braga continued to rank fourth in the league!

In the next round of the league, Braga will face a more difficult challenge!

This season has not suffered a defeat, the Portuguese super battleship Benfica currently tops the Portuguese Super League standings!
