Beast King Costa

Chapter 58 Overlord Reign
At 3:4 on the evening of March 20th, Portuguese time, Braga, who is still ranked third in the league, will challenge Boavista, who is currently ranked eighth in the Portuguese Super League, at the Bessa Stadium.

This match of the 25th round of the Portuguese Super League is also a rare early game in Braga.

Since the matches of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League are all scheduled for the next day, this game has also become the highlight of the Portuguese Football League on March 3.

This is also Diego's first away game with the team after he joined Braga.

Compared with China, which is vast, the distances between Portugal’s major cities are so close that they can’t even be called away games – from Braga, Portugal’s third largest city, take a bus to Portugal’s second largest city, where Boavista is located. The city of Porto is actually less than 60 kilometers away!

Knowing that this "away journey" is only a 40-minute bus ride, Diego was stunned on the spot: 40-minute bus, I don't know if I can run from the easternmost part of Guangzhou to the westernmost part of Guangzhou...

Since it was only a 40-minute bus journey, the Braga team only set off that morning and did not choose to spend the night in Porto.

Not long after waking up after a night's rest, everyone was in high spirits.

Along the way, Wende, the eldest brother of the "Brazilian Gang", also taught geography lessons to everyone with great interest. Diego, who originally planned to take a nap and continue to "add food" to himself in the Real King of Football System, listened to Wende talk. The content of the talk was also quite interesting, so just like everyone else, I listened attentively to Boss Wende's class.

"Although the Boavista team is located in Porto, you may not know that Boavista is a port city in Brazil! It is in the north of Brazil, my hometown, Roraima The capital city of Brazil - the full name is 'Boavista de Branco'. But Boavista is also a sparsely populated capital city in Brazil, with a resident population of less than 4, and even a semi-professional football team cannot be formed. "

Listening to the rare story that Boss Wende told everyone, the young men all started to make noises.

"Wow, Boss Wende knows so much?"

"Maybe Mr. Wende was the number one scholar in geography before."

"Hey! I think Boss Wende used to be the champion of both geography and history!"

……

"Hey, that's because the Boavista team has a special meaning to our older players!"

Wende looked nostalgic for the past and sighed: "I left Brazil at the age of 19 and was brought to Portugal by my agent. The first professional team was Boavista! Although I was only in Boavis I played in the youth team of Tower for less than a year, but it was also there that I gradually adapted to life in Portugal and played professionally for the first time."

After all, Wende continued to tell the historical story to the young players: "Boavista, a team formed by Brazilians in 1903, can be described as the first choice for most Brazilian players to land in Portugal in the 20th century. Like us Older Brazilian players will have some affection for this team."

"Indeed!"

The team's main central defender, Paul Jorge, also nodded in approval, but then said helplessly: "I also had a trial training in Boavista back then! As a result... people disliked me for turning around too slowly, so they didn't want me."

"Hahahahaha!"

Immediately, there was thunderous laughter on the bus.

Seeing everyone chatting so enthusiastically, coach Jesualdo Ferreira also interjected with interest: "I have to say that Boavista also won the Portuguese Cup in the 2000-2001 season as a dark horse. Where’s the Super Champion? I don’t know, when will Braga win the Portuguese Super League championship?”

"Ah! This question..."

"Champion? How is it possible..."

"Hey……"

After being "soul tortured" by Jesúaldo Ferreira, everyone immediately fell silent.

Even Wende, who was so eloquent in his lectures, suddenly looked helplessly sad.

After entering the 21st century, Portuguese football has entered an era of talent blowout: Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, Jose, Mourinho...

However, these talented players and super coaches are all labeled as the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, and they have nothing to do with the small club.

After Boavista won the Portuguese Super League championship with a "dark horse attitude", the Portuguese Super League once again returned to the game of "three-person turn" among the Portuguese giants. Shake the dominance of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League in the Portuguese Super League.

In the period when Porto led by Jose Mourinho dominated the Portuguese Super League strongly, everyone will feel this feeling more clearly.

That Porto team is completely impossible to defeat!
Porto, with Mourinho's label, is so strong on the offensive end and defensive end that it makes opponents feel suffocated on the court, and even doubts about life: everyone is playing football, so why do they have a simple What if the defensive counterattack scored a goal?
Such a strong Porto even makes most of the small clubs choose to give up strategically when facing Porto-all substitutes, or even all youth teams, directly offer three-pointers with both hands, and keep their energy. in the next game.

Only the two giants, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, would fight to the death with Porto at that time, right?
Of course, the result is basically more losses than losses.

Although Jose Mourinho and the group of "Triple Crown" meritorious players have basically landed in the five major leagues, it is no longer the era when the Porto family dominates.

However, the Portuguese Super League is still a three-player game?

Even though they lost to Benfica 0-1 in the last round, Porto is still far ahead of Braga by more than 10 points in the first place in the standings, and even the second-placed Sporting Lisbon leads by as much as 9 points.

Although it is rare to move Benfica to the fourth position in the standings, there are still 10 rounds before the end of the league. It is still unknown whether Braga can keep the third position in the league at the end of the season.

How about winning the Portuguese Super League championship?
Perhaps, Boavista's victory in the 2000-2001 season is very likely to be the only "dark horse miracle" in the Portuguese Super League after the 21st century, right?
"Ugh……"

Seeing that everyone in the carriage was silent with dejected faces, Jesúaldo Ferreira also sighed helplessly—he wanted to use the Portuguese Super Champion to encourage and encourage the lads, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be negative impact.

I saw Jesúaldo Ferreira comforting the boys and said: "Everyone, don't think too much, just play well in every next game, and don't put too much psychological burden on yourself."

However, how can everyone have no psychological burden?

Even Diego fell into silence.

Facing the rule of an overlord like Porto, small clubs actually avoided fighting, which made Diego quite unhappy.

In Diego's view: Instead of being a player of the dominant team and enjoying the joy of championship champagne every year, he would rather be an unyielding warrior who challenges the dominant team!

Even if you fail, you will never surrender to the overlord!

(PS: I went to interview a small company this morning, and the chat was very exhausting! I am old, and the job content is substitutable. Others think it is not worthwhile to offer you a higher salary than fresh graduates, so HR directly declined Lao Mouzi. Alas...a cruel workplace!)
