Beast King Costa

Chapter 63 Maintenance
After playing one less player on the field, Braga's situation took a turn for the worse.

After all, after the start of the second half, Boavista changed into a 4-5-1 formation, hoarding heavy troops in the midfield to control the rhythm.Now, Braga has three players left in the frontcourt, and there is no high point. Even if the ball is stolen, the backcourt players can't play much.

The success rate of directly finding two wingers is too low. Boavista's midfielder is very dense. The full-backs and full-backs completely lock the space for Wende and Mateus to hold the ball.

If you look for Sessions in the middle, the efficiency will be even lower - the thin Sessions does not have the ability to withstand the opponent's central defender to get the ball. Even if he is lucky enough to get the first spot, he will not be able to fight in the end and will be beaten by the defender behind him. The opponent snatched the ball back.

After all, Sessin needs a big center who can hold the ball to help him contain the defensive players. He cruises behind the big center looking for opportunities to shoot directly.

Now, Delibasic has been sent off with a red card, which is equivalent to exposing Sessions' weakness. Boavista's two tall center backs can easily take advantage of their height and physical confrontation to defeat the frontcourt. The independent Sexin was watched and completely sealed to death.

"Hey……"

Paul Jorge watched Sessions being "abused" by Boavista's central defender in the frontcourt. He was quite helpless and said: "Sesing is playing very hard now. He has never been a forward player who is good at physical confrontation. , it would be really difficult for him to directly confront the central defender for points."

"That can't be helped, who made that Montenegro boy so stupid!"

Anyway, after being sent off by a red card, Deli Basic left the Bessa Stadium directly from the player tunnel and went back to the locker room to reflect.So Fan Dinho also unscrupulously "sprayed" Deli Basic just now, which caused the team to directly fall into trouble and put a shovel behind him.

"It's fine if you can't grab the ball! You have to put a shovel behind you - if you can't shovel the ball, you have to put the person down? Not only will you get a red card for this action, you may even get an additional suspension!"

"It doesn't matter."

Paul Jorge shrugged: "Anyway, even if Delibasic is on the court, he won't have much effect. It's better to be suspended for a few more games."

At this moment, Diego, Jaime, and Candy Costa are still warming up. They don't know that the two main big brothers on the bench are discussing Delibasic's red card just now.

Since Jesúaldo Ferreira has no plans to make substitutions and adjustments for the time being, the three of them were also discussing the situation on the court while warming up.

"Now, Boavista is starting to attack, and our offensive is completely gone..."

Jaime, who has been in the Braga team for a long time, said helplessly: "Boavista has seen the hope of three points. With Coach Ferreira's rigorous personality, it is even more impossible to change defensive players. So this For a while, the biggest possibility is to make a counter-substitution."

"Maybe!"

Since the main position was taken away by Mateus, Candi Costa seemed relatively depressed.

Although he is also eager to be replaced, Mateus is also very hard on the defensive end at this moment, and he also understands that the possibility of being replaced by a matchup is very small.

Unless, Mateus's physical fitness is exhausted, he has the possibility of playing.

As for Diego, it was even more embarrassing.

He saw it very clearly-as Boavista began to strengthen its offense, this game for Braga is no longer a question of getting three points, but whether it can keep one point.

I saw Diego said with a serious face: "Coach Ferreira needs to strengthen the midfielder! Lille Hugo seems to be a bit unable to withstand the opponent's attack."

Just as Diego said, Lille Hugo, the defensive midfielder who got the chance to start in this game, under the continuous breakthrough of Boavista midfielder John Luke, his defensive interception became Braga's midfielder. time bomb.

Unable to intercept John Luke's breakthrough with the ball, as the last barrier in front of the central defender, Lille Hugo can only use fouls to prevent John Luke from advancing with the ball.

In just 5 minutes, Lille Hugo has been whistled for three fouls, and the referee even showed him a yellow card as a warning.

Of course, Lille Hugo's foul actions are relatively restrained, but because they fall into the category of technical fouls, the yellow card is definitely unavoidable.

Looking at the helpless expression on Lille Hugo's face, Jesúaldo Ferreira also understood that it was time to play his substitution card.

In the 72nd minute, Braga made two substitutions.

The main defensive midfielder Van Dinho came on and replaced Lille Hugo, who was educated by John Luke to doubt his life.

The versatile frontcourt player Jaime came on the field and replaced Wen De, who was obviously unable to keep up with his physical fitness.

完成了换人调整之后，布拉加的阵型也从之前的4-2-3-0变成了4-3-2-0，替换文德的海梅回撤到中场，协助范迪尼奥和安德烈斯马德里进行防守。前场只留下了塞辛好马特乌斯两名球员。

Seeing Jesúaldo Ferreira making such substitutions and adjustments, Diego stopped warming up and went back to the bench to sit and watch the game.

Because Diego understands very well that this kind of substitution and adjustment is to rush to defend a point.

As an offensive player, there is basically no possibility of him playing in this game.

Watching Diego return to the bench, Wende, who was substituted, panted and shook his head helplessly at Diego, saying: "With the lack of one player in the frontcourt, the offensive end can't be played at all. This game is over. It's unlikely to take three points."

"Yes. If you can keep a point, you will be satisfied."

Diego nodded silently.

Regarding his inability to get a chance to play in this game, Diego felt quite helpless in his heart-after all, the red card is also a force majeure event, and it is not the old coach Ferreira who turned his back on his promises. Who can he turn to for reasoning?

However, Diego suddenly thought of what Jorge Mendes had said about Jesúaldo Ferreira in the living room on the top floor of Braga.

"Maybe it's because Jesualdo Ferreira is old, so he is very conservative in terms of tactics and personnel. He can be said to be the representative of conservatives among the current Portuguese coaches - let him go with 0 points If he scores 3 points, he would definitely prefer to score 1 point steadily. Therefore, relegation teams have always been inclined to poach him to coach. But no matter how rich Ferreira's resume is, wealthy teams will not accept his coaching style. But he scoffed."

But these things are not right or wrong.

It can only be said that each person has his own personality, and each person has his own choice.

At least, Jesualdo Ferreira used his own conservative substitutions to resist Boavista's pounce after hitting one more player, and resisted until the end of the game.

0 is better than 0!

Braga did not get the three points they wished at the Bessa Stadium.

Diego also sat on the bench for 90 minutes because of Delibasic's red card.

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, the Braga players all looked dignified.

At this moment, Benfica's away game against Amadora has also finished the first half.

Without any suspense, Benfica led Amadora 2-0 in the first half of the game. With Benfica's ability to control the field, the possibility of them scoring 3 points in this round can be said to be a certainty.

In this way, Braga's advantage in the standings is only 1 point left!

This helpless draw also made the competition for the last Champions League ticket in the Portuguese Super League this season extremely suspenseful.
