Beast King Costa

Chapter 97 Conservative Start
It surprised Jesualdo Ferreira who was standing on the sidelines. After the opening, Benfica did not bombard their penalty area with three tricks in the opening game as they expected.

On the contrary, Benfica actually only kept Gustavo Manduka in the frontcourt, and everyone else stayed in their own half to play?
How is this going?

Is it the calm before the storm?
But looking at it, it doesn't look like there will be a "storm" soon!

Not to mention the cloudless sky above the Stadium of Light, Benfica only has Gustavo Manduca in the frontcourt, and the left forward Lauren Robert and the right forward Simao have all returned to the position of winger.

Not to mention the leading striker Nuno Gomez - as a striker, Nuno Gomez actually retreated to the middle of the two midfielders Pettit and Manuel Fernandez to participate in the midfield scheduling ?

What about the agreed 4-2-4 mad attack?
It looks more like 4-5-1 now!
In order to figure out what Ronald Koeman was doing, Jesualdo Ferreira deliberately glanced at the home team's coaching bench. What was even more surprising was that Ronald Koeman did not "warmly greet" him before the game. Instead of a confident smile, he stood on the sidelines with a frown and a confused expression.

"What the hell is Ronald Koeman trying to do?"

Before figuring out that Ronald Koeman started so conservatively, Jesualdo Ferreira also decided: use the same to respond to all changes!

I saw Jesúaldo Ferreira yelling at the players on the field: "Don't think too much! Just play according to our rhythm!"

After shouting, Jesualdo Ferreira simply returned to the coach's bench and sat down, quietly observing the intention of Benfica's conservative start.

Such a dull start to a crucial battle also made the enthusiasm of the Benfica fans at the Stadium of Light fade away very quickly.

It's been 5 minutes since the game started, and the home team didn't even have a shot?

Even when facing arch-rivals Porto and Sporting Lisbon, their home team never flinched so much, did they?
Usually the rhythm is high and low right from the beginning. Did you take the wrong medicine today?
Until the 8th minute, Benfica still had no intention of attacking the Braga penalty area. The hardcore fans in the stands of the Stadium of Light basically stopped cheering and protested in a quiet atmosphere against their home team's abnormal style of play.

As a result, only the North Stand of the entire Stadium of Light was still bustling with activity.

The teachers and wives of the "Lisbon support group that loves Mr. Diego the most" don't understand football at all. They came to the Stadium of Light for the first time, and it was just to support Mr. Diego, the founder of the square dance.

The game has been almost 10 minutes now, and Diego has only touched the ball 8 times - but this is currently the highest number of touches for the Braga team.

Every time, it was Diego who used active running to fight for the ball.

It's a pity that Benfica's midfielders have solid defensive skills. Not long after Diego steals the ball, he can always find a chance to win the ball back and continue to control the rhythm in the midfield impatiently.

However, that's not the point...

The point is: every time Diego touches the ball, the teachers in the North Stand will roar in high octaves and even high [-]s.

"Teacher Diego grabbed the ball!"

"Ah! Teacher Diego is so handsome!"

"Come on, Teacher Diego! Hurry up and score a goal!"

"Mr. Diego is so handsome! Oh~ Diego, you are so beautiful!"

……

These mistresses who are more excited than real fans have become a special landscape in the North Stand of the Stadium of Light.

Even some loyal fans of Benfica were surprised: "I made a cross, my mother is supporting No. 88 Diego Costa in Braga?!"

"What's the matter, look! My grandma yells louder than your mother! She doesn't look like a 70-year-old old man at all!"

Ok……

Straight male fans really don't understand, what is the special charm of Braga's No. 88 teenager Diego Costa, which attracts the teachers so fascinated and wants to die.

Could it be that this Brazilian teenager Diego Costa has an extraordinary talent in a certain part of his body?
It doesn't look like it!

As for Diego Costa's nose, it is not as big as the nose of Hong Kong martial arts superstar Jackie Chan.

(PS: Ahem...how many people can understand this evil joke~)

Moreover!
No man will admit that another man is better than himself in a certain aspect!
Unless he can prove that he is worthy of the domineering title of "28 cards" like Serge Ibaka, who is still training in the French Second Basketball League at this time.

However, Diego has no free time to respond to the roaring cheers from the "Teacher's Support Group" at this moment.

My task in this game... oh no!Perhaps it should be called the prey to be more accurate-Nuno Gomez, who is a free man in the frontcourt, has been hiding between the two midfielders from the beginning of the game until now, and he doesn't know what kind of ghost he is brewing.

However, Jesúaldo Ferreira's instruction to Diego is "Nuno Gomez is over halftime, you have to stick to him", but Nuno Gomez has rarely passed halftime so far , which also made Diego very helpless.

At this moment, Diego can only continue to run aimlessly for "physical health", and observe Nuno Gomez's every move along the way.

It has to be said that Nuno Gomez has retreated so deeply that he can still play the role of backcourt scheduling like an organizational midfielder.

According to Diego's visual inspection, Nuno Gomez has played the ball at least 50 times so far, and his passing success rate is as high as [-]%!
Even if it is because Braga has not put pressure on Nuno Gomez for the time being, he can pass the ball 50 times, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, and let his teammates catch the ball comfortably. But it's absolutely amazing!
In the 13th minute of the game, Nuno Gomez's behavior made Diego grit his teeth and make up his mind: he must not continue to let Nuno Gomez pass the ball so comfortably in the backcourt!
I saw Nuno Gomez taking advantage of the Braga players' relaxation of vigilance, and suddenly made a concealed long pass to Gustavo Manduca in the frontcourt.

This startled Gustavo Manduka, but fortunately, Frechault and Paul Jorge were not by his side. After he decisively unloaded Nuno Gomez's long pass, Push the ball quickly.

If it wasn't for Fabiano Rosato, who kicked the central defender, to arrive at the first time and complete the steal with a [-]-[-] kick. Otherwise, Braga's distracted defense line just now would have been very likely to be blocked. Gustavo Manduka used his personal ability to penetrate.

Just after Benfica's backcourt snatched the ball back again, Diego did not continue to run near the center circle, but went straight to Benfica's midfield and backcourt where the pass frequency was the highest.

This is also where Nuno Gomez is!

(PS: Lao Mouzi said before that the national football team often suffers from the unspoken rules of away games. Last night’s game is a good example-first the press conference the day before yesterday, the minibus driver made a detour and made Lippi late; last night The referee's whistle completely favored the home team, and the Philippines avoided at least 3 yellow cards and 1 penalty!
But I still want to say: the national football team failed to score three points on the Philippines, it shouldn't!Absolutely not!
No matter whether Lippi is preparing before the game or arranging his troops for this game, he has nothing to do!The old man must bear at least [-]% responsibility for this draw!
An away game against Syria next month, as far as the current defense line of the national football team is concerned, Syria's 192 high center forward Omar Soma is enough to disturb the national football team from head to toe!Not to mention old friend Omar Helibin!
If Syria can't win this away game, I'm sorry!Don't talk about the top twelve!It is difficult to qualify for the top [-]! )
