Beast King Costa

Chapter 30 Five Guards

Like the Braga B team, Estoril also attaches great importance to Saturday's league game. The whole team hopes to grab relegation points in the away game.

After all, the schedule behind Estoril is called the devil. In the next three games, they need to face the teams at the top of the Portuguese Liga standings.

However, judging from the formation of Estoril's Mozambican coach Dauto Facquila, Estoril basically intends to strategically give up the midweek game.

In this game, Estoril can be said to have come out in full force, and even the veteran Duddy played with injuries.

However, when the game started, Jose Aguas looked at Dauto Facquila's formation, and suddenly he was a little dazed—Dauto Facquila unexpectedly put up a 5-3 -2 five-back defensive formation!

要知道，埃斯托里尔之前一直踢的都是4-4-1-1，布拉加B队的备战，也是针对埃斯托里尔这个常用的4-4-1-1做针对性布置的。

In this 5-3-2 defensive formation, Estoril led by Dauto Facqueira has never played.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Jose Aguas looked at the other side of the coach's bench. At this time, Dauto Facqueira was sitting upright with no expression on his face, and Jose Aguas could not guess what he was thinking in his heart.

Jose Aguas doesn't know much about Dauto Facquila.

This season is Dauto Facquila's debut season as a head coach, and he is also a relatively rare coach of a small African country in the Portuguese arena.

Therefore, when Estoril officially announced that the retired meritorious Dauto Facqueira went directly from the echelon coach to the head coach seat, many Estoril fans still questioned the decision of the club's top management.

Of course, there is a reason why the Estoril executives made such a risky decision.

Last season, Estoril was directly emptied by the players because the head coach lost control of the locker room.

Despite a thrilling victory in relegation in the final round, the club's top management does not want the same situation to happen in the new season.

Dauto Facqueira was once a veteran of this team. He fought with the team for seven years as a player. After retiring, he entered the team echelon as an assistant coach. It can be said that Estor Lear's blood.

After Dauto Facqueira took over as head coach, the team's locker room problems also subsided.

However, another problem gradually surfaced as the league progressed - Dauto Fakuira's technical and tactical level was really not very good. Apart from simple and crude high balls from the wing to find the center, there seemed to be no other problem. Offensive routine.

In this important game, he even ventured into a 5-3-2 formation that he had never played before, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Dautuo Facquila's gourd.

5 minutes before the game, Estoril took advantage of Braga B team's unsteady footing, and repeatedly threw high balls from the side into the Braga B team's penalty area.

But fortunately, Eduardo, the young goalkeeper of the Braga B team, is in good form today. He made two consecutive strikes to defuse Estoril's offensive.

Maybe it's because Jesualdo Ferreira inspected the players in the stands?Therefore, Eduardo was quite excited today.

After defusing Estoril's offensive, he continued to yell to his teammates: "The full-backs must focus on the defense! Don't give the opponent a chance to pass the ball!"

After all, Estoril is playing five defenders today, and the offensive force invested in the frontcourt will not be too much.

After the 10th minute of the game, the players of the Braga B team gradually gained a firm footing and regained the initiative on the field.

Estoril's offensive stopped immediately, and they began to strategically shrink their formation to their own half, standing on defense and waiting for Braga B's fierce offensive.

After his teammates regained the ball, Diego naturally didn't need to stay in his own half to participate in the defense.

After watching his teammates firmly control the ball under his feet, Diego confidently advanced into Estoril's defensive hinterland.

However, when Diego faced Estoril's defense head-on, Diego's first feeling was: This game must be difficult to play.

Estoril's three central defenders have a particularly good sense of position. They cover the entire center in an orderly manner. They are not as reckless as Gundomar's two central defenders, staring at Mateu on the wing. Then he threw Diego Costa aside.

It stands to reason that Estoril's three central defenders are all focused on the center, and the defensive pressure on Mateus on the right should not be too great.

But today Mateus played very awkwardly, not at all like the last game against Gondomar, when he was in such a state.

After the Braga B team stabilized the ball, it was still a familiar old routine-after a simple transition in the midfield, they distributed the ball to Matthaus on the right.

After Mateus held the ball on the right, he did not choose to stop deliberately.

Facing the double-teaming of Estoril's left back Cambio and midfielder Carioka, Mateus still wanted to play dribbling.

Helplessly, Estoril's starting left back in this game, the veteran Cambio from Angola has rich experience in the game, and he has repeatedly resolved the simple and rude impact of Matthaus.

Although Cambio is not as fast as Mateus, he can judge the breakthrough route of Mateus every time, and use his tall body to block Mateus' breakthrough route.

The most important thing is that the veteran Cambio's defensive movements are very clean, not as rough as Gondomar's full-backs-even if it is a "ball beyond the reach" defense, it is Cambio who accurately blocked Matt Us's breakthrough route, not a rough body collision.

After being deflated three times in a row on Cambio, Mateus could only choose to pass back helplessly, continue to dispatch the midfielders, and continue to intersperse in the frontcourt to find opportunities.

Since Mateus failed to mess up the opponent's defense on the right, Diego Costa in the center has become the most leisurely player of the Braga B team.

After all, there is no cross for him to fight for. If he returns to the midfield to catch the ball, his rough footwork will easily make mistakes, giving his opponent a chance to counterattack. Therefore, Diego Costa can only continue to play dryly in the frontcourt. cruising.

However, what surprised Diego was that Estoril's three central defenders did not relax their attention on Diego because Diego did not have the ball.

It seems that Dauto Facqueira gave them a death order: in this game, must be marked to die against No. 98 Diego Costa of the Braga B team?

Since there is no way to create opportunities for crosses from the wing, Diego can only run around aimlessly with the three central defenders of Estoril alone in the frontcourt.

Half an hour before the game, after the Braga B team got Estoril's starting list, Diego also knew that he was playing today, and the three opponents who had direct conversations were: Jorginho, Marco Silva, Sergio Barres.

The three central defenders that Estoril started in this game are all skilled central defenders from the Iberian Peninsula. Their physical conditions are relatively average, but their sense of position, defensive awareness, and judgment are quite good.

The most important thing is that the three central defenders seem to have good footwork - in the first 10 minutes of the game, the three central defenders in Estoril's backcourt all played long passes, and they were able to accurately find the frontcourt. Dadi's head.

At this time, the game has come to the 18th minute, Braga B team has more than 70% possession of the ball, but has been unable to convert any effective offensive.

Diego Costa, who ran dryly in the frontcourt for about 10 minutes, felt that no matter how futilely he ran, he would not have any chance to attack.

Therefore, Diego decided: retreat to the midfield to catch the ball!Maybe there will be a new turning point?
