Beast King Costa

Chapter 141

Like Jose Motta, University of Coimbra head coach Nello was also asked by the club to play Braga at home!

Although both are academic coaches, Neto is not as rigid as Jose Motta.

Even if the club's top management didn't say anything, he could probably guess that Benfica, currently ranked third in the league, definitely hopes that after all the games in the 32nd round are played, they can still sit in the third position in the league, so he will give the club's top management some advice. Generous conditions for cooperation were offered.

Although the University of Coimbra team has a special organizational structure, the board of directors does not have any record requirements in the Portuguese Super League, but Nello is an ambitious person. He hopes to lead the University of Coimbra to the top eight in the league. He even brought those college players into the European war, so as to gain the favor of big clubs and step onto a bigger stage to coach.

In this way, it becomes very important to obtain the resources of the rich clubs.

Just think about it, if one or two players can be loaned out from Benfica with immediate combat capabilities, that would be enough to elevate the team to a higher level.

Therefore, Nello didn't even need to ask, as the club's senior officials stated: "The team's goal in the 32nd round - resolutely not to give Braga three points at the Coimbra Stadium!"

To this end, Nello took out a rare five-back formation.

As a coach who is keen on offensive football, Neto led the University of Coimbra to play the most 4-3-3 formation.

The radical Nello even likes to arrange only a single defensive midfielder to sweep in front of the back line. The other two midfielders are more involved in controlling the midfield and frontcourt and attacking from the back - this is also the case for the University of Coimbra. There is no single reason why the defense is so weak.

In order to smash Braga this round, Nello gritted his teeth in this game and played two defensive midfielders in midfield.

This is equivalent to, in addition to the goalkeeper, the University of Coimbra will have 7 defensive players on the field!
There are only two speedy forwards left waiting for counterattack opportunities in the frontcourt, and a midfield playmaker who serves as the hub for offense and defense.

If Diego was present, he would definitely think that Nello is a disciple of South Korean coach Lee Jang-soo. When Guangzhou Evergrande played in the AFC Champions League for the first time, it was almost the same way of playing. Six local players plus one Asian foreign aid defended , 6 foreign players attacking in front...

However, Nello did not consider whether his players who have played offensive football for a season can adapt to such an extremely conservative change?
The answer is: definitely not.

Before the opening game, when he got the starting list of the University of Coimbra, the old coach Jesualdo Ferreira was in the visiting team's locker room, and almost laughed: "Haha! What is Nello trying to do? ? The 'iron barrel formation' of 5-3-2 has been brought out, this is not his style."

The players who were familiar with the style of play of the University of Coimbra also laughed on the spot.

Of course everyone understands what's going on. After all, they are all "experienced players" who have been in the Portuguese Super League for many years. Don't you still understand the ropes?

Fabiano Rosato, who made his comeback to start this round, shrugged helplessly and said: "It seems that Chairman Felipe Vieira has spent all his money! He tried every means to win over other teams, let them stop us, and ensure that They can secure third place in the league with Benfica."

"Ha ha!"

Wende responded with a smile: "Chairman Felipe Vieira should go to win Sporting Lisbon, let them fight us to the end in the last round-but maybe once they win, Sporting Lisbon will come to us in the last round." A full bench lineup, let us pass."

Andres Madrid stuck out his tongue mischievously: "As far as the defensive position of the players from the University of Coimbra is concerned, coach Nello dares to let them play 5-3-2? I am afraid of their defense. It will be smashed into a sieve by you and Mateus, one left and one right."

Diego, on the other hand, listened obliviously to his big brothers teasing the University of Coimbra's defense. After all, he didn't know anything about this team.

However, after the game started, Diego's eyes were opened.

The defense of the University of Coimbra is really not that bad...

Let's put it this way, the worst defense known to Diego is Guangzhou R&F, his favorite in later generations, and the defense of the University of Coimbra can be multiplied by two-you know, no matter how bad Guangzhou R&F's defense is, there are still Goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei sits in front of the goal line, making all kinds of bravery to save a few goals; Pedro Roma, the goalkeeper of the University of Coimbra, has no such skills. He seems to prefer to play "happy football" with the defenders Bar?

If the University of Coimbra is allowed to play a game with the later Guangzhou R&F, it is possible that in the first half of the game, the ball king will randomly "swipe" a wave of "five sons".

In less than 3 minutes, Braga broke through the so-called "iron barrel formation" of the University of Coimbra...

Wende was possessed by Ronaldinho, playing various games on the left side of the University of Coimbra right back Victor, making the young man lose his center of gravity twice, and even staggered when Wende broke through. He fell directly to the ground.

Aiming at Diego who was plugging in from the middle, Wende directly crossed the ball, trying to create a chance for Diego to score a header.

Ran goose ...

Pedro Roma, the "goal god" of the University of Coimbra, did not give Diego any chance to score a goal. He flew forward, just like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, with gorgeous and elegant fingertips, he sent Wende's cross Pounced.

This pounce, although it made Diego's front plug ball fight for the top failed, but it changed the running path of the ball to the direction of the goal.

1 to 0…

Pedro Roma scored his third goal of the season - yes, all of them were own goals.

Seeing that his carefully arranged 5-3-2 formation took less than 3 minutes to smash Braga, and he was broken by himself. Nello on the sidelines didn't know what to say.

Nello could only drink water to hide his inner despair.

After Pedro Roma broke his own goal, the defensive enthusiasm of the University of Coimbra players continued to go to the bottom.

It doesn't even need Diego to open the way in the frontcourt. Sessin, who is not good at confrontation, can play a king-level performance against the back of the University of Coimbra's defensive players.

In the 8th minute, after holding the ball in the frontcourt, Sessions passed three defensive players in a row, faced goalkeeper Pedro Roma with a single shot, and scored with a low shot!

2 is better than 0!

Seeing Braga take a two-goal lead so quickly, the defenders of the University of Coimbra even complained to each other - A said that B did not keep track of people, B said that C did not stay in a good position, and C retorted against A. There is no replacement seat to come up and wipe your own ass.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two teams was like heaven and hell.

On one end, Braga celebrated their two-goal lead with joy, while on the other end, the players from the University of Coimbra were so noisy that they almost started fighting.

In this regard, Diego, who was rushing around the field to "swipe" the running distance, couldn't help feeling: It is imperative to strengthen the quality education of contemporary college students!
