Beast King Costa

Chapter 95 Dumbfounded

Before 19 o'clock, the 18-man rosters of Benfica and Braga had been handed over to the competition committee, and the media also announced the starting lineups of the two sides as soon as possible.

As the absolute focus of the 28th round, Sporting Portugal will undoubtedly broadcast this game.

and so……

"So! Everyone sees me again! Hello everyone, I am the most knowledgeable commentator in Portugal, and you can also call me 'Fancy Blowing Brother'!"

As the "first player" of Portugal's three giants, "Brother Fancy Blower" must first chat with everyone about Benfica's starting roster.

"Coach Ronald Koeman, the 'tactical genius', still arranges the 4-2-4 lineup that everyone is most familiar with! The goalkeeper position, Moreto will do his part. He will become the patron saint in front of Benfica. The team guards to the end! The defense is lined up from left to right: Leonardo Bastos, Kleiber Anderson, Ricardo Rocha, Louison! The iron wall of this game is against Braga's strikers!"

"Let's look at the midfield of the Flying Eagles! International footballer Petit and Manuel Fernandez are in the midfield together. They will not only deliver shells for the frontcourt, but also intercept every dangerous pass for the defenders. !"

"Frontcourt! Oh! My God! I need to confess to everyone, I like Mr. Ronald Koeman's frontcourt lineup the most - it's all talent visible to the naked eye! Simao, Lauren Robert, Nu Nogomez and Gustavo Manduka are super attackers who are famous all over the Iberian Peninsula! With such a powerful striker combination, can Braga really hold on to a point as he wishes?"

After blowing up Benfica's starting lineup in about ten minutes, "Fancy Blowing Brother" finally reluctantly put down Benfica's roster and turned to Braga's starting lineup.

"Ah! Let's take a look at the starting lineup of Minho Arsenal for this game! According to people familiar with the matter, Braga's leading striker Joao Thomas will return from injury in this game. Believe in this game, we can see To the "iron triangle" combination of Wende, Sessin, and Joao Thomas in the frontcourt. Uh... what the hell!?"

however……

When "Fancy Blowing Brother" saw Braga's starting lineup clearly, he was dumbfounded.

Joao Thomas did see it.

However, the names of Wende and Sessin disappeared, and were replaced by a few uncommon names: Freyshot, Constant Helia.

Just as dumbfounded by Braga's starting lineup as "Fancy Blowing Brother", there is also Ronald Koeman who is in the home team locker room at the Stadium of Light at this time.

"This……"

Ronald Koeman couldn't believe that the stubborn Jesualdo Ferreira would make such a large personnel change in this game that is related to qualifying tickets for the Champions League next season.

It turned out that Wende and Sessin, the two hardcore main attackers, were put on the bench together?

"What trick is Jesúaldo Ferreira playing?!"

Ronald Koeman calmed himself down as much as possible to analyze the intention of Jesualdo Ferreira's starting lineup for this game.

Five defenders Noel, Freyshot, Fabiano Rosato, Paul Jorge, Luis Philippe, this staffing, Ronald Koeman guessed it right before the game, after all, before Braga In the game against Navarre, Jesualdo Ferreira practiced such a lineup.

However, Ronald Koeman couldn't understand the three midfield configuration.

Ronald Koeman knows that in Ferreira's 4-2-3-1 defensive counterattack system, Van Dinho and Andres Madrid defend and organize, which can be described as an iron double midfielder combination.

But in this game, a veteran Constan Helia was added in the midfield!

Is this the three backs?

Or a single midfielder with two avant-garde?

Can't understand, Ronald Koeman said that he really can't understand.

When preparing for the game in the middle of the week, Ronald Koeman felt that with such a conservative character as Jesualdo Ferreira, he estimated that he would set up a 5-4-1 iron barrel formation.

The midfield match will allow the two wing attackers Wende and Mateus to withdraw to the full-back position, and the double midfielder Van Dinho and Andris Madrid will cover every area of ​​​​the midfield.

Unexpectedly, Ferreira only placed three people in the midfield?

and!

In the frontcourt double striker combination, apart from the expected Joao Thomas, it turned out to be the young player Diego Costa who had been neglected by himself during this period of time!

Ronald Koeman feels that since Joao Thomas will come back from injury, there will be nothing wrong with the teenager Diego Costa. Even if he will play, it will not exceed 20 minutes.

Or it should be put this way-Ronald Koeman is quite confident that by the time Diego Costa plays, his team has already won the game. What is the effect?

So during this period of time, Ronald Koeman has not studied Diego Costa at all, but has been studying how to limit the frontcourt "iron triangle" combination of Wende, Joao Thomas, and Sessin.

"Tsk! What is Jesúaldo Ferreira's intention?"

Ronald Koeman said to himself: "Five defenders, the intention is to keep the draw, and two forwards, this is not rushing for a point. Are they preparing to defend or attack?"

After pondering for 10 minutes, Ronald Koeman, who still couldn't find the answer, decided to call an emergency meeting.

The starting players who had been warming up in the Stadium of Light were urgently called back to the home team's locker room.

After the crowd was assembled, Ronald Koeman had no time to talk nonsense. He went straight to the topic: "Today Braga played a double striker! Not a single arrow! Wende and Sessin did not play! So, the defense, Be sure to keep a close eye on Joao Thomas! Definitely!"

"Double forwards? Sessin can't play?"

The calm Nuno Gomez immediately discovered the problem: "Could it be that coach Ferreira asked youngster Diego Costa to partner Joao Thomas?"

"That's right!"

Although Nuno Gomez kept reminding himself to pay more attention to Diego Costa, a young player who is on the rise, in the middle of the week, this is not the time to admit his mistakes.

I saw Ronald Koeman make a remedial arrangement: "Petit! Try to delay your position as far as possible, and go to stare at Diego Costa! I don't know where he will appear after he comes on the field, but you have to follow him. Stop him! Do you understand?"

"I understand, Coach Koeman."

"call……"

Ronald Koeman took several deep breaths in a row, trying to calm himself down as much as possible.

"Let's do this! After the opening, let's not rush up and attack! I want to see what kind of killer is hidden behind Jesúaldo Ferreira's weird 5-3-2 formation. trick!"

After all, Ronald Koeman's eyes finally showed the firm fighting spirit that he should have before the war.

"Anyway! This game! We must win!"
