Beast King Costa

Chapter 414 Lisbon Derby ([-])

"The first half of the game..."

Rui Costa paused for a full five seconds before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "It's a terrible kick."

"Uh……"

There was an expression of disbelief in the locker room, and everyone gasped—Rui Costa, a veritable head coach, is too demanding, right?You know, the data in the first half of the game completely crushed the home team Sporting Lisbon!Whether it is the ball possession rate, the number of shots, the number of shots on target, and the success rate of passes, they are all comprehensively crushed.

Of course, it is a pity that the score in the first half was still 0-0.

however……

For Rui Costa, the game should not have been 0-0 in the first half. After all, all statistics have completely crushed the home team Sporting Lisbon. Simple, it should be said that the players did not perform well.

I saw Rui Costa telling his teammates very harshly...or it should be more appropriate to call the players now: "In the first half of the game, our wing attack was very chaotic, very chaotic! This is not what I want. I hope to see the offensive tactics on the wing. After the winger cuts back into the penalty area, the offensive efficiency is too low! In the future, I will let the full-back quickly insert into the original winger's position after the winger cuts in. Well. If the offensive efficiency of the winger is so high, wouldn’t it give the opponent a lot of opportunities to counterattack?”

"Hey……"

Simang shrugged helplessly and said: "Inside attack from the wing is indeed a current tactical trend. For a pure winger like me, who is still on the right side, it is better. Playing, it is too difficult for a player like Karagonis who is born as a center to play inside."

"It's difficult! You have to overcome it!"

Rui Costa told all the players very seriously: "If you do not adapt to the technical and tactical changes in football, then football will eliminate you! The Portuguese Super League itself is not among the first-class European leagues. Once you are eliminated by the Portuguese If you are eliminated from the Super League, you can go to the third-rate or even inferior leagues in Europe. It will have a huge impact on your future, both in terms of technical growth and income."

After all, Rui Costa couldn't help sighing: "Thinking about how noble the classic midfielder position that swept the world football was. But in the end it gradually faded out of the mainstream tactics, and now the world football is still How many classic attacking midfielders are left? When I was playing in Fiorentina, I had already forced myself to adapt to the changing trend of mainstream football tactics, and to adapt to other technical and tactical playing methods to ensure that I was not due to technical and tactical A member who was eliminated because of his ability."

It has to be said that Rui Costa's approach of teaching by words and deeds and using his own experience to persuade the players can indeed make the players understand quickly.

indeed!

It’s not that Rui Costa is harsh.

It's because Rui Costa is someone who has experienced it. He knows how to do many things, so he uses his own experience to make the players avoid detours and prevent the players from leaving regrets in their careers.

After Rui Costa finished speaking, not only the players were moved, but their expressions gradually revealed, even Fernando Santos, who was sitting silently next to him, also nodded slightly. The "helm" of the old-school coach also agrees with Rui Costa's point of view very much.

"Since everyone agrees with me, I hope everyone can work harder and harder in future training sessions! Force yourself to adapt to the changes in football techniques and tactics and gradually change your playing style! This is for your own benefit. Live your career responsibly!”

"clear!!!"

"Row."

Hearing that the players can understand their difficulties, Rui Costa is also relieved. After all, as a new coach, the most worrying problem is that the relationship with the players is not happy. Once the relationship with the players becomes stagnant If so, then no matter how strong the coaching ability is, there is no room for it.

At this time, Fernando Santos, who was sitting beside Rui Costa without saying a word, is a vivid example!

Therefore, Rui Costa is very firm-in any case, he must have a good relationship with the players, and he must not have those unnecessary conflicts in the locker room.

I saw Rui Costa continue to say: "Since everyone can understand and adapt to the technical and tactical changes in football to ensure that they are not eliminated, that's OK! From now on, we will continue to practice the tactics of cutting in from the wing. This game is 3 points It is still very important for us, but we cannot continue to be willful! In the second half of the game, we returned to the 4-2-3-1 wing cross tactic that everyone is very familiar with!"

"Great!!!"

Diego was so happy that he almost wanted to let out his throat: "I played too suffocated and suffocated in the first half of the game! In the second half of the game, no matter what, I have to come back! That guy Polgar even taunted me." Is it because you're going to Porto, so your teammates don't pass the ball to you, a traitor?'...Damn it! If it wasn't for the game, I would have fucked that guy directly!"

Seeing the team's offensive strength, Diego, screaming excitedly, Rui Costa was also very happy-he wanted to overthrow Sporting Lisbon in the second half of the game, but the core players of the team had enough fighting spirit OK!
It would be best if everyone could scream like Diego, who started the second half like a pack of hungry wolves, ruthlessly drowning out Sporting Lisbon's defenders with their desire to score goals!

I saw Rui Costa nodded with a smile and said: "Diego, in the second half of the game, go back with a goal in the face!"

Diego nodded heavily, and responded firmly: "It must! It's best to swell that guy Polgar's stinky mouth!"

In response, Simao laughed and said: "Haha! Diego, I will create more opportunities for you in the second half of the game! Let those guys at Sporting Lisbon have such bad mouths."

Carter Solanis also raised his hand readily and said: "Haha! I will also give Diego more long passes in the second half of the game. Anyway, it is impossible for the two technical central defenders, Polgar and Tonel. If you can hold Diego alone, let Diego directly respond to the high ball in the frontcourt and hit high, the effect will definitely be very good."

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic and excited, Rui Costa couldn't help turning his attention to Calagonis, who played very depressed in the first half of the game.

Apparently, Rui Costa was as worried as Diego was about Calagonis' poor performance in the first half, coupled with the jeers and boos of more than 60000 diehard Sporting Lisbon fans at the Jose Alvalade Stadium. The sound, which caused the mentality of this game to collapse directly.

At this moment, everyone responded with excitement and promised to provide various assists to Diego in the second half of the game and help Diego slap Polgar's bad mouth in the face. Karagonis was depressed in the corner of the locker room. Without saying a word, this is very different from the usual cheerful and sunny appearance.

Rui Costa naturally understood that the first half of the game was a blow to Calagonis too much, so whether as the team's veritable head coach or as a teammate, Rui Costa felt that he should stand up, Give Karagonis more care.

I saw Rui Costa sitting next to Calagonis and patted Calagonis on the arm.

"The first half of the game seems to have had a big impact on you?"

"Ah! Boss Rui...it's okay! Indeed, I played too badly in the first half of the game. I can't blame the Sporting Lisbon fans for booing me so madly."

Calagonis looked very frustrated, but he couldn't help it. It was too difficult for him to play an inside attack in the first half of the game. Calagonis didn't have the delicate dribbling skills of a pure wing player. Not to mention the arc kick after dribbling away from the defender.

Rui Costa nodded to express his understanding, and patted Calagonis on the arm to comfort him: "It's okay! Don't take the boos from the away fans to heart. After I joined AC Milan, I returned to play in Florence. , the Viola fans booed me even more crazily. At that time I also played very depressed, but I knew very well that I was a professional player and should have a stronger ability to resist pressure than ordinary people, so! Anyway, I have to withstand the pressure!"

"Well! I will adjust my mentality as soon as possible."

"OK! Come on!"

"That……"

Calagonis hesitated for a while, and then tentatively asked: "Boss Rui, you won't replace me in the second half of the game, will you?"

"Ah??? I didn't say that you will be replaced in the second half of the game!"

Rui Costa responded with a smile: "In the first half of the game, whether it was Nuno or you, Simao, or even Diego, you are not familiar with the style of play, so it is normal to play poorly. I firmly believe that in the second half of the game, after adjusting the techniques and tactics back to the 4-2-3-1 wing cross that everyone is familiar with, you will all find your status very quickly!"

Of course, you can’t say too much.

I saw Rui Costa continued to add: "At least! I can assure you, unless you have an injury problem and can't hold on. Otherwise, I won't replace you before 70 minutes! So! The second half of the game Once you start, try your best to show your strength!"

"Phew! That would be great!"

After hearing that Rui Costa confirmed that he would not be substituted in the second half of the game, Karagonis obviously regained his energy.

Obviously, Calagonis’ depression was not mainly due to the boos and sarcasm of the Sporting Lisbon fans, but because he was worried that he played too badly in the first half of the game and was replaced after the halftime break. He didn’t even have a chance to prove himself again. No.

Seeing that Calagonis' eyes came back to his senses, Rui Costa felt relieved.

Rui Costa stood up with a smile, patted Calagonis on the arm and said, "Come on! Calagonis, I believe you will become a key player to help the team score goals in the second half of the game."
