Beast King Costa

Chapter 98 Who is Arrow?

"The Flying Eagles played very cautiously at the beginning! Now the field looks more like a 4-5-1 formation, which is not in line with Ronald Koeman's coaching style! Perhaps, Ronald Koeman Coach Mann suddenly realized that he is one of the most successful central defenders in the history of Dutch football, so he started to focus on defense? But it doesn't look like it! After all, coach Ronald Koeman started this game with four strong players A national-level attacker!"

The "Brother Fancy Blowing Brother" from Sporting CP was also quite confused.

Ronald Koeman, what the hell are you doing?
It's almost 15 minutes since the opening, and the Flying Eagles haven't even had a shot yet?

You know, in normal times, the number of shots taken by the Flying Eagles would have been 5 or 3 if it wasn't 4. How could it be so quiet like today.

In desperation, the "Fancy Blowing Brother" of Portuguese Sports TV can only focus on Braga.

"Minho Arsenal played a 5-3-2 formation in this game. According to the data, this is the first time coach Jesúaldo Ferreira has used this formation this season. The comeback Joao Thomas looked He's in good shape, he's partnered up front with the recent teenager Diego Costa, it's just..."

Looking at the situation on the court at this time, "Brother Fancy Meng Biao" was a little puzzled.

Shouldn't Braga be a double forward partner?
how……

Joao Thomas' position is getting lower and lower, but the position of teenager Diego Costa is getting higher and higher?
Even, Diego Costa is like a lone hero, going deep into the enemy line alone. At this moment, Diego Costa's position is almost in front of the Benfica back line, completely out of touch with Braga's midfielder.

In this way, even if Braga steals the ball in the backcourt, with such a serious disconnect, it will be difficult for Braga to get the ball in place in the backcourt and give it to Diego Costa.

Therefore, "Brother Fancy Blowing" can't understand why Jesualdo Ferreira made the two strikers out of touch so much. It wasn't Jesúaldo Ferreira's arrangement at all... It was purely Diego's proposition and Joao Thomas' adaptation according to Diego's position.

I saw "Brother Fancy Blowing" helplessly said: "I don't know if this is a change of coach Jesualdo Ferreira's move? As time passed, Joao Thomas' position gradually recovered to the third place. In front of the waist, the teenager Diego Costa is alone, like a wild horse, driving straight into the midfield of the Flying Eagles. Could it be that the teenager Diego Costa is Braga's single arrow? Jesualdo Coach Ferreira played a 5-4-1 formation in this game?...Ah! Diego steals the ball and counterattacks!"

That's right!

Diego steals the ball!
Most importantly, what Diego broke was the ball at the feet of Benfica's leading striker Nuno Gomez!

This is all while Nuno Gomez is observing his frontcourt teammate Gustavo Manduca's running position. Diego very witty pokes the ball at his feet, and takes the ball away while he is defenseless. .

After stealing the ball, taking advantage of Benfica's defense not responding, Diego blocked Nuno Gomez behind him who was about to counterattack with his strong arms, and then rushed towards Benfica's penalty area with the ball.

But after all, Benfica is a defense line composed of all national players. Even if they didn't press up at the beginning, it's not too late to make up for it.

Immediately, Ricardo Rocha and Anderson moved to the middle to make up for it, completely blocking Diego's breakthrough route.

"Damn!"

It was the first time Diego felt so powerless. Ricardo Rocha and Kleiber Anderson’s predictions and sense of position were too accurate. Straight up.

Diego knows that in terms of his dribbling ability, if he directly faces Ricardo Rocha or Kleiber Anderson, it is very likely that these two experienced defenders will directly steal the ball.

In desperation, Diego could only make a simple and rude choice - 5 meters away from the Benfica penalty area line, he directly kicked a long shot!
Although the unloaded shot passed through the gap between Ricardo Rocha and Kleiber Anderson, it did not escape goalkeeper Moreto's cross.

Moreto's attention was so concentrated that he didn't even give a chance for a corner kick, and held Diego's explosive shot securely in his arms.

"call……"

Diego also shook his head helplessly.

I wanted to see if I could shoot a burst and create a corner kick.

How to put it, Jesúaldo Ferreira also worked a lot on corner kick tactics before. If there is a corner kick opportunity, maybe the two big central defenders can knock on Benfica's goal.

However, Benfica's goalkeeper Moreto is too stable, right?Faced with such a powerful explosive kick like myself, he was able to hug it firmly without any sign of letting go!

At this moment, Diego finally understood the meaning of Joao Thomas's sentence "If you want to beat Benfica's goalkeeper Moreto, you have to shoot with a curve ball".

Seeing that there was no chance for a second attack, Diego retreated in despair.

I saw Diego trot back to the area with the highest pass frequency in Benfica's backcourt... oops!In fact, it is to go near Nuno Gomez and continue to stick to him as a "follower".

Although he held Diego's shot securely in his arms, Benfica goalkeeper Moreto didn't kick off the kick immediately, but yelled at his teammates in a fierce tone while observing the positions of his teammates A few words: "Concentrate! Don't give the opponent a chance to shoot! Don't play like sleepwalking one by one!"

Although Moreto's status in Benfica is not too high, but as the last player in the backcourt, he has a better perspective to lead the overall situation. Naturally, it is necessary to give some reminders to his teammates when they are distracted.

After being yelled at by Moreto, the defensive players immediately raised their hands to indicate that they understood.

Even Nuno Gomez also raised his hand to Moretto and gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he would pay attention-you know, it was because he was not paying attention that he was robbed by Diego just now, so his goal was robbed. Threatening, I have to bear at least half of the responsibility.

Raising his hand, Nuno Gomez looked at Diego Costa not far from him with a confused expression.

Judging from Braga's current formation on the field, it is more like a 4-5-1, and Diego, who stands so high, is the "1" of the single arrow!
This puzzled Nuno Gomez.

Now that Joao Thomas is back and playing 4-5-1, shouldn't Jesúaldo Ferreira let Joao Thomas, who has very comprehensive skills, play a single arrow?
Actually using Diego Costa?

However, this young man doesn't seem to have a strong desire to attack in the frontcourt!

This is more like a defensive player, who has been eyeing his own passing line, and even occasionally glanced at himself from the corner of his eye when he was not paying attention?

"Are you feeling that I am handsome?"

Subconsciously, Nuno Gomez tidied up his somewhat messy long hair to make himself look as elegant as possible.

If Diego knew that Nuno Gomez was so narcissistic, would he roll his eyes in disgust?
(PS: The Ali company that I interviewed before is already cold, and there is no notification. Lao Mouzi can only continue to submit resumes and continue to look for jobs... Life is so difficult! The mechanical keyboard is still out of order today, so I bought a new one The cheap ones cost more than 200. It’s really a leak in the house and it’s raining all night! Sigh!)
