Beast King Costa

Chapter 418 Lisbon Derby ([-])

Of course, Benfica fans who have watched Yu Dabao's first team games are quite optimistic about Yu Dabao's prospects.Although Yu Dabao is very young and does not have any impressive resume, but judging from the limited number of first-team appearances, Yu Dabao played very mature and steady in the midfield. What about the team's regular main players?

Ok……

No one is optimistic that Yu Dabao can grow into the core player of Benfica's first team.

Except Diego.

Because Diego firmly believes that Caesar's previous training program will definitely allow Yu Dabao to grow into the core midfielder of the Portuguese Super League.

Although Yu Dabao doesn't think that the remaining two substitutions for Benfica in this game have nothing to do with him, but since Rui Costa let himself participate in the warm-up preparations, then Yu Dabao will seriously do the warm-up—— Be fully prepared, so that when the opportunity comes, firmly grasp it!

Diego is still trying to help Benfica expand its lead.

After all, there is still a hard game against Sevilla in the middle of next week. If Benfica can expand the score to 2-0, then Benfica's other substitution quota will most likely be given to the main players.The core of the midfield, team captain Pettit has been replaced by Kaliaka, so there is a probability that Carter Solanis will be rotated, which means that Yu Dabao may get a chance to play!

Originally the first pick in the midfield rotation should be Beto, but because Beto had a slight muscle strain in the previous training, Rui Costa did not plan to arrange Beto to play in this game, so Beto was not scheduled to warm up at this moment.

But Beto's injury is not complicated. There is a high probability that he will be able to catch up with the UEFA Europa League in midweek, so Beto is still sitting on the bench for this game.

In the 68th minute of the game, Benfica set off a defensive counterattack with a goal threat for the second time in this game!
This time it was Kaliaka's one-on-one steal!

When Joao Moutinho was about to play two-for-one with Leandro Romagnoli, Kaliaca alertly grabbed the ball and directly intercepted the ball.

Although Kalyaka's ability to hold the ball is not very good, but in the ranks of defensive midfielders, it can be regarded as a very stable existence. I saw that Kalyaka held the ball and pushed forward for a long time before scoring the ball. It was given to Diego who carried Tonel with his back.

Diego has already been beckoning to Kaliaka, but Kaliaka is not an organizational midfielder. His sense of scoring is not as strong as Pettit and Carter Solanis, but fortunately, Kaliaka It wasn't too late when Liaka gave the ball to Diego's direction, and it can even be said that it just helped Diego create an assist opportunity!
Diego carried the two Sporting Lisbon central defenders, Polgar and Toner, with their backs in the middle, and the left and right wings, Calagonis and Simao had quickly advanced forward, so, Diego At the moment of catching the ball, it was as if eyes had grown on the back of his head, he slammed his heel, and passed it in the direction of Calagonis!

"Good shot!!!"

Just in time, Calagonis cut into the penalty area in the middle of the Sporting Lisbon penalty area, grabbed Diego's heel and passed the ball, then faced the Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo in front of the Sporting Lisbon goal, and completed the first goal of the game with a low shot. Two goals!

2 is better than 0!

Benfica leads by 2 goals away from home!
There are only 20 minutes left for Sporting Lisbon. Perhaps it should be said that Benfica has a high probability of scoring 3 points at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in this game!
"Beautiful Diego!!!"

"What the hell, God assists!"

"It's so beautiful! This assist is definitely the best assist of this round!"

"Diego, you really deserve to be the assist leader in the league! This is already your 16th assist this season, right?"

"It's amazing! It's amazing! I don't even know how to describe you kid."

……

Although the scorer was Calagonis, everyone almost ran towards Diego to celebrate—the goal was entirely due to Diego's heel knocking the ball as if he had eyes on the back of his head. The ball was given to Calagonis in the path of travel.

For Calagonis, when he cut inside the Sporting Lisbon penalty area, he had already thrown off the right back of Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese international defender Miguel Garcia, and only needed to face directly after receiving the ball. A low shot from the goal can score a goal.

It can be said that 50.00% of the credit for this goal comes from Diego!
Twenty percent came from Kalyaka, who steals the ball, advances with the ball, and divides the ball, and 30.00% comes from Karagonis, who completes the offensive end.

"Great ball! Well done guys! Beautiful! So beautiful!!!"

Rui Costa, who was in front of the coach of the visiting team on the sidelines, was so excited that he "slapped his palms badly". In his "rookie head coach", no matter who assists or who scores a goal, it is [-] points The existence of existence, no one has more credit, and no one has less credit—everyone has credit, and everyone is equal.

Not only that, Rui Costa also looked for Fernando Santos on the coach's bench to high-five to celebrate this goal that can basically be said to seal the victory.

"Coach Santos, Diego's assist just now, Calagonis' goal is really beautiful! We can say that we have 3 points in this game!"

"Uh... I hope so."

This made Fernando Santos look a little weird-he is now a registered head coach who has been emptied, except that he is the head coach of Benfica on the registration information of the Portuguese Football Association. Fernando Santos is in the Benfica team It's nothing anymore.

Now, Fernando Santos has asked his agent to find a suitable next home, and strive to leave the team during the winter transfer window.

Fernando Santos is still more inclined to return to the Greek league to coach.

Although Fernando Santos has created the history of Portuguese football after coaching Benfica-Fernando Santos has become the first coach in the history of Portuguese football to coach Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. .

However, Fernando Santos obviously felt that the Portuguese Super League has become less and less suitable for his coaching style, but the physical confrontation of the Greek League is more intense. There are very few players with outstanding technical and tactical characteristics, which are more suitable for "OG" coaches like me who pursue higher tactical discipline.

With Fernando Santos' performance in the Greek League, it will not be difficult for him to find a suitable next home.

At least, for now, Fernando Santos already knows that Thessaloniki, a traditional giant in the Greek Super League, is very interested in him.

But the problem is...

The boss of Thessaloniki, but a very powerful Greek existence who can eat both black and white, made Fernando Santos feel a little frightened - if the leadership of the team is not good, the boss of Thessaloniki, directly It's not good to hold a revolver to the forehead of this old bone of yourself.

In later generations, this thing really happened...

In 2018, in the match between Thessaloniki and Athens AEK, due to dissatisfaction with the team's goal being disallowed, Thessaloniki boss Servedis ran away on the spot. He rushed into the field with a gun and threatened the referee, forcing The referee declared the goal valid.Because of the absurd behavior of the owner of Thessaloniki, Sevedis, who entered the field with a gun, the Greek Prime Minister announced the suspension of the domestic league at that time, and Sevedis himself was detained for this shameful behavior.

only……

Fernando Santos would not have imagined that Thessaloniki, a boss with a gangster background, had indeed become his next home after leaving Benfica, and Thessaloniki was also the last coach Fernando Santos coached in his career. A club——In the summer of 2010, after ending the coaching contract with Thessaloniki, Fernando Santos accepted the invitation of the Greek national team and officially transformed into a national team coach.

Now, before leaving Benfica, Rui Costa's humble attitude made Fernando Santos feel more comfortable in his heart.

At least Rui Costa still respects himself, an old coach who has no real power.

Therefore, Fernando Santos gave a pertinent suggestion: "Ruy, this time is already leading 2-0, and there is a high probability that he can score 3 points. It is time to let Paul Jorge play. Let Paul Jorge He replaced Calagonis, and then pulled Paul Jorge back to the winger position, allowing Paul Jorge and Nelson to double-team Nani. In this way, it is difficult for Sporting Lisbon to counterattack. .As for the midfielder, some adjustments can also be made. Yu Dabao is a pretty good young man."

"Thank you Coach Santos for your suggestion, I will make adjustments right away!"

After all, Rui Costa did not neglect anything. Before the game continued, he played two substitution cards in a row-Paolo Jorge came on and replaced Calagonis; Yu Dabao came on and replaced Nuno Gomez!

Nuno Gomez spent most of this game adapting to his new position, so he struggled. Since there is still a hard Europa League match with Sevilla in the middle of next week, this will Using Yu Dabao to replace Nuno Gomez can be regarded as a rotation adjustment for the middle of next week.

After Yu Dabao came on the field, Sporting Lisbon fans asked each other in surprise.

"Asian yellow faces? When did Benfica introduce Asian players?"

"It's probably a Korean player, right?"

"Uh... I think it should be Japanese? Now Japanese players are playing pretty well in Europe."

"Maybe it's a Southeast Asian player!"

……

However, when the live announcer at the Jose Alvalade Stadium shouted "Dabao Yu, a 19-year-old young midfielder from China", the Sporting Lisbon fans were shocked on the spot.

"Actually! Is it a Chinese player?!"

"Wow! When did Benfica recruit a Chinese player?"

"Look how the 19-year-old is doing."
