Beast King Costa

Chapter 445 Blood Abuse Continues

On December 12, Portuguese time, the 16th round of the Portuguese Super League kicked off!

In the Portuguese League Cup match in midweek, Benfica went away to face a Portuguese C team named Marco.

This is a team from a small place in Portugal. It was established in 1927, but it has not been professionalized for so many years. It is a team between semi-professional and amateur. Many players in the team are part-time players, and some are retired. A former professional player who came out to play.

In this game, Rui Costa still led the team to the away game in person, and it was not like before. Fernando Santos did not even go to the away game to follow the game.

However, Rui Costa did not take any players in the main frame to the away game.

Rui Costa took three young players, Chinese teenager Yu Dabao, Diego Sosa, and Manu to the away game. The other players are all excellent players from the Benfica B team and the youth team-fortunately, the midweek B team There will be no games with the youth team, so whether it is the head coach of the B team Dani or the head coach of the youth team Fernandez, it doesn't matter that many players are recruited by the first team.

In this game, Rui Costa naturally let Yu Dabao, Diego Sousa, and Manu three young players from the first team play the main frame of the team.

As for other positions, they are naturally reserved for the outstanding players of the Benfica B team and the Benfica youth team. Rui Costa also told these young players: "I will seriously examine your performance, and there will definitely be some players in the second half. Personnel transfer, when the time comes, I will consider recruiting some outstanding young players from the B team and the youth team to supplement the first team, so! You have to fight for the opportunity!"

Rui Costa's words were like "Viagra" to the players. The young players were so excited in this game that they all seemed to see the hope of entering the first team roster in the second half. , each one tried their best to express themselves.

But to some extent, because the players were playing too excitedly, the entire team's focus was on the offensive end, and the defensive end was very loose.

Not long after the opening, Marco got the chance to defend and counterattack first, and scored the goal!

This once made the young boys of Benfica very frustrated.

But soon, Yu Dabao, a precocious young man, had already established himself as a midfielder of the first team. He organized his teammates to adjust their mentality and launch an offensive organization in an orderly manner. Soon, he used his increasingly proficient precision scoring The support came to Manu's side on the wing, and Manu crossed the ball to assist Diego Souza to equalize the score!

After the score was equalized, the mentality of Benfica's young players gradually recovered, and they would no longer be as depressed as before.Once the confidence is restored, coupled with the young players like Benfica, who are basically the best of the same age in Portuguese football, facing a semi-professional team like Marco, they can still win very easily.

About 5 minutes after the equalizer, Benfica overtook the score, and it was still Diego Sosa's goal!
Facing an amateur team like Marco, Diego Souza is like a "super killer" like Diego in the Portuguese Super League. It can be said that he can carry two or three defensive players with one manpower and kill the Quartet!

After Diego Sousa scored twice to help Benfica overtake the score, the whole game can basically be said to have been spent.

Subsequently, three young players from the Benfica B team and the Benfica youth team immediately completed the goal and directly expanded the score by 5 to 1.

It is a pity that after the 80th minute of the game, due to the poor physical management of the young players, the previous game time was too aggressive, so the physical fitness at the end of the game could not keep up. Recovered 80 goals in a row.

But fortunately, the score of 5 to 3 is enough for Benfica to advance to the next round, so Rui Costa did not blame the young people. The new powerful head coach of the first team should show a good performance in front of him, and he can't dampen the positive attitude of young people.

Of course, Rui Costa affirmed the attitude of the players after the game, and will seriously tell the young players some deficiencies, such as focusing on the head and ignoring the back at the beginning of the game, and poor physical management, which led to the end of the game. 10 minutes such a critical period of time, physical fitness can not keep up and other issues.

After simply finishing the Portuguese League Cup match and confirming that the team can advance to the next round, Rui Costa returned to the Portuguese Super League non-stop!
Benfica's opponent in this round is Setubal, a team that is already deep in the relegation zone!
The Portuguese Super League is very amazing. In addition to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League that are stably occupying the seats in the European competition, there are Braga and Maritimo, which have a complete system and healthy finances. They can guarantee that the results of each season will not fall. In addition to being too big, the results of other players in the Portuguese Super League are like riding a roller coaster.

Maybe this season we almost broke into the top four, but what about next season... struggling in the relegation zone, even scoring 1 point becomes something that can be celebrated happily.

Or maybe, last season it was not until the final round that they were lucky enough to avoid relegation, but next season they will suddenly improve by leaps and bounds, and suddenly become the top four ranks, and the "super dark horse" wrestling with the three giants of the Portuguese Super League. .

A team like Setubal gives people the impression that it is a mid-upstream team. After all, in recent years, Setubal has basically been able to stabilize in the top ten of the league at the end of the season, and even qualified for the Europa League fifth. However, due to the serious loss of personnel this season, the results fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

Judging from the threat of lineup strength this season, Setubal is not even as good as Nawal, but Setubal's youth training system is quite good. As long as they are given a buffer of two or three seasons, they will soon be able to train young players Get up, enter the first team and carry the banner, and Naval, a player who is "Buddhist" from the management down to the fans, can young players stand up and carry the banner... that is completely a matter of chance .

Since Setubal even Navarre can score 3 points on them this season, and Benfica only bloodbathed Navarre 6-1 in the last round of the league, then Rui Costa is very important to Setubal's team. A team that is so bad this season that it can't be saved has nothing to worry about.

In this game, Rui Costa welcomed back Beto, an immediate midfielder from the bench, which also gave Rui Costa more freedom in his formation choices.

On the day before the game, Rui Costa determined his starting lineup and still maintained some position rotations.

Goalkeeper: Moreto.

Defenders: Leonardo Bastos, Luizon, David Luiz, Nelson.

Midfielder: Petit, Yu Dabao, Beto.

Frontcourt: Calagonis, Diego, Mantolas.

There are really not many rotation options in the backcourt and frontcourt, especially the central defender position, Benfica's first team has no other options, as for the midfield position, Nuno Gomez got the rotation, Rui Costa tried Let Yu Dabao directly play the all-round midfielder position closer to the striker, instead of the midfielder position that he has been playing before.

Because Rui Costa saw the potential of Yu Dabao's forward attack, and Rui Costa even hoped to guide Yu Dabao to develop into the type of Lucho Gonzalez.

Of course, with Yu Dabao's potential, there is no way to compare with Lucho Gonzalez, the starting midfielder of the Argentine national team. Lucho Gonzalez has the same body as a big center, but has There are only a handful of players in the world who have super delicate footwork, very strong midfield control, midfield organization ability, and personal offensive ability.

Rui Costa just hopes that Yu Dabao can take on more offensive tasks behind the midfield in Benfica's tactical system. After all, Yu Dabao feels good in front of goal. When he received youth training in China, he played well. It is the forward position, and its forward personal offensive ability does have many bright spots.

of course!

Yu Dabao still has a long way to go if he wants to become a main offensive midfielder in the middle and upper reaches of the Portuguese Super League. He is still very young, and many things are flashing potential. It takes a lot of time to realize those shining talent points one by one.

This game was played very easily, and Setubal was defeated by Benfica in one blow.

In the 7th minute of the game, Benfica successfully defeated Setubal's defense.

Rui Costa was very surprised by the player who helped Benfica score the first goal of the game-it was the young midfielder Yu Dabao who was placed closer to the striker in this game!
Pettit and Beto's midfielder partner, whether it was during Ronald Koeman's coaching period or Fernando Santos' coaching period, can be regarded as a regular defensive midfielder configuration that focuses on offense. Dabao's midfielder partner is more helpful to the offensive players in the frontcourt.

Yu Dabao's opportunity was guided by Pettit and Beto's midfielder, which attracted the attention of the defensive players for Yu Dabao, and then Beto sent the ball forward with a big foot, giving it to the top stack. Go!
After Diego got the ball, he didn't directly entangle with Setubal's defender. After seeing Yu Dabao's rapid forward thrust, he decisively made a wedding dress for Yu Dabao, and passed a diagonal pass to the path of Yu Dabao's forward thrust , when Yu Dabao held the ball, it happened to be a perfect one-handed ball opportunity!
Facing the attacking Setubal goalkeeper, Yu Dabao repeated the same trick as in the previous game, and directly lobbed the ball from a small angle into Setubal's goal!
1 is better than 0!

In the 17th minute of the game, Benfica scored again on Setubal!

This time belongs to Yu Dabao's "reciprocity" to Diego!
Yu Dabao's through ball went directly behind the defender!Diego quickly threw away the defensive player, and after receiving the ball forward, with the opportunity of a single-handed ball, he pulled Setubal's goalkeeper to the left side of Setubal's penalty area, but Diego did not choose to complete it by himself. The attack ended, but a horizontal knock was given in front of Mantolas who followed diagonally on the right side. Mantolas followed up with a burst shot and scored the goal!
2 is better than 0!

In the 34th minute of the game, it was Diego's own goal this time!
David Luiz directly faced Setubal's forward player in the backcourt. He stabbed the ball accurately and stole the ball from Setubal's offensive player. He then hit the ball behind Setubal's defense with a big kick. , Diego made a counter-attack, rushed forward, grabbed the ball, and shot into the far corner, scoring his first goal of the game!
3 is better than 0!

It can be said that only more than half an hour and a few minutes have passed in the first half of the game. It can be said that the overall situation for Benfica has been decided!
With a gap of 3 goals, with Setubal's scoring ability of less than 0.7 goals per game this season, it is basically impossible for them to "come back against the wind and rise to the sun" Now – you need to know!One-third of the game has been played, and Setubal has only completed one shot attempt.

1 goal 2 assists!
Diego was very satisfied with his results in the first half of the game.

Because, the second half of the game!There is a high probability that Diego will be replaced by Diego Sosa in rotation, so the data gained in the first half of the game is likely to be Diego's final gain in this game.

To Diego's surprise, at the end of the first half of the game, he unexpectedly gained another assist data!
In the 45th minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines even held up the stoppage time sign, indicating that the stoppage time of the first half was 1 minute. They thought that the score of 3-0 in the first half would be temporarily After the battle, I went back to the locker room to rest for 15 minutes, I didn't expect it!Pettit suddenly made a long diagonal pass to Karagonis on the left, and Karagonis made a clever sideways handover, which actually tricked the defender and gave the ball to him!
Looking at the last chance to attack before the end of the first half, Karagonis will definitely not miss it--in the first half of the game, the teammates in the frontcourt have all gained. As far as Karagonis is concerned, Neither assists nor goals have yet been credited!Don't miss out on such a wonderful opportunity now!

Diego can naturally understand that Calagonis is eager to score goals. After all, after Gustavo Manduca returns to the team, it will be difficult for a winger like Calagonis to become a half-way home. So at this moment, All Calagonis needs to do is to make Rui Costa entangled with an eye-catching performance before Gustavo Manduka returns to the team!
and so!
When Calagonis passed the ball to Diego, due to the poor positioning of the goalkeeper Setubal, Diego could definitely hit the goal with a curved ball and beat the goalkeeper Setubal, but Diego did not Instead of doing this, he took the initiative to play a two-for-one cooperation with Calagonis, helping Calagonis create a chance to face the goalkeeper directly.

Although, Calagonis was astonished that Diego would give himself the chance to score so generously, so he seemed to be half a beat behind when he followed up, but fortunately, Setubal's defensive players He had already been dejected by Benfica's 3 goals and lost confidence, so he didn't realize that Karagonis would be a little slower, so naturally he didn't follow up.

Although Calagonis was half a beat slow, he still managed to grab the ball given to him by Diego before the goalkeeper attacked, and directly kicked the ball into the net!
4 is better than 0!

Diego completed the hat-trick of assists in only the first half of the game!

Gaining assist data in the Portuguese Super League, for Diego, can be more happy than scoring goals,

After all, in the Portuguese Super League, Diego's task is to lead the assists!For Diego, if there are goals, it is the icing on the cake. If not, it is not a big deal. The goals in the Europa League are abundant, which is the most important thing for Diego.

During the intermission, Rui Costa didn't even need to make any arrangements for the second half of the game. Anyway, he just said: "After the second half of the game is rotated, everyone can play freely!"

In the second half of the game, three young players, Manu, Paul Jorge and Diego Souza, went into battle one after another.

However, in the second half of the game, Setubal was afraid that Benfica would continue to score consecutive goals and suffer a huge defeat. Therefore, Setubal's head coach changed the lineup to 5-5-0 in an extremely conservative way, not even forwards. That's it... Anyway, if the current score of 0 to 4 can be kept at the end, for Setubal, the goal of the second half of the game is considered to be completed.

This also made Setubal's fans very angry. They didn't expect the team to be so unprogressive and passive. After the fans tore up the tickets, they threw them into the stadium, and the sidelines were immediately torn apart. confetti, but fortunately, it did not affect the continuation of the game.

Since a "super killer" like Diego has been substituted, and Nuno Gomez is not on the court in this game, Benfica's offensive ability was greatly weakened in the second half.

Although the fans are very dissatisfied with the negative attitude of the home team, it has to be said that Setubal's head coach still achieved his goal in the second half of the game-in the second half of the game, Diego Souza played in Setubal's [-]th goal. Under the attack of the defenders, he struggled very much, and Manu did not have the brilliant performance of the previous round and the Portuguese League Cup.

Although Mantolas on the right is an experienced striker, he still hopes to score goals in the second half of the game, but after all, Diego Sosa is not Diego Costa, and Manu is far worse than Caragon The tacit understanding between Nice and Mantolas.

So in many cases, although Mantolas has already sought opportunities, he still has two fists and four hands at the critical moment, and missed the chance to score.

In the end, Benfica defeated Setubal 4-0 away and continued to establish their lead in the Portuguese Super League standings!

In this round, the other three teams behind Benfica, Porto defeated Ferreira 4-0, and Sporting Lisbon beat the University of Coimbra 1-0 away, so the non-Australian team did not pull away from the other two teams. The points gap of the Portuguese Super League giants.

However, Braga had a big upset this round. Carlos Cavala actually led the team at the Braga Municipal Stadium. They only drew with Boavista 2-2 at home.

But considering that Boavista is in a pretty good state this season, and has now ranked seventh in the Portuguese Super League, so this game did not score three points on Boavista, Braga fans They didn't blame Carlos Kavala for leading the team badly.

After all, Carlos Cavala has not led the team for a long time, and the winter break has time for him to instill his tactical intentions in the team.
