Beast King Costa

Chapter 174 Inconsistent Thoughts
When the players on both sides returned to their own half, the game time had reached the 80th minute.

Paul Bento on the sidelines did not forget to gesture his watch, and put pressure on the fourth official on the sidelines: "For the stoppage time in the second half of the game, you have to make up for the time wasted just now! Just now At least 5 minutes must be wasted!"

Regarding this, the fourth official waved his hand calmly: "Don't worry, we will consider extending the stoppage time. Please rest assured, the coaches."

"Beep..."

The referee blew his whistle and the game continued!
After the kick-off, Sporting Lisbon looked confused-after the score was equalized, they didn't know what to do for a while.

Still continue to "use control instead of defense" to waste time?

This doesn't seem to work!After all, what the club's top management wanted was to block Braga with all their might. With more than ten minutes left in stoppage time, it seems not good to start wasting time?
However, it seems that there is no good way to attack Braga right now?

Since Joao Moutinho, the core midfield playmaker, has been marked by Braga, Sporting Lisbon's offensive organization has become a mess.

Except for Rodrigo's occasional kicks like "flying fairy", which can pose a threat to Braga's defense, Sporting Lisbon's midfield passes are basically cross passes and back passes. In 30 minutes, one step is in place, and the ball is as precise as a scalpel.

Nani and Devi, two wingers, also tried to retreat to the midfield to hold the ball and bring it up by themselves.

However, Braga's iron wall defense is too powerful. Before the ball was brought to the edge of the penalty area, Braga was intercepted and launched a counterattack.

As a result, the players in the Lisbon Arena suddenly felt a little uneasy-some people who eat melons thought, just finish the last ten minutes or so; some still wanted to help Benfica, and tried To challenge the impenetrable defense of Braga.

This state of disunity of thought made Sporting Lisbon's formation quite chaotic.

The Benfica faction headed by Nani kept attacking Braga's defense with the ball, but the teammates behind him, including Lidson in the middle, didn't seem to want to fight Braga in the last ten minutes, so, Nani, who hits the front court with the ball, will eventually fall into the predicament of fighting alone.

Since there was no one around to respond, Braga's defensive players were always able to intercept the ball at Nani's feet very easily, and then quickly launched a counterattack.

Even, in just 3 minutes after the game continued, Braga almost set off the clarion call to overtake the score.

It was still Sessin and Diego's two-to-one cooperation in the frontcourt, which directly threw away Sporting Lisbon's completely inconsistent defense line, and finally Sessin completed the shot.

But it is a pity that Sessin's shot failed to hit the goal frame and did not pose any threat to Ricardo in front of the goal.

Seeing that they were not able to overtake the score, Diego and Sessin did not express any emotion. Instead, they returned to the midfield for the first time and continued to "take care" of Sporting Lisbon's midfield playmaker Joao Moutinho, patiently Wait for the next opportunity for a defensive counterattack to appear.

In desperation, Paul Bento could only play the sign of substitution and adjustment.

In the 84th minute, Paulo Bento played two substitution cards in a row, removing the sluggish Tonier and Canela and replacing them with Sa Pinto and Denilson.

Before the two backcourt veterans Sa Pinto and Denilson came on the field, Paulo Bento did not forget to tell them: "Be sure to stabilize the rhythm on the field! Don't give Braga a chance to counterattack and score! This In this game, even if we fail to win, we will not be able to score 3 points by Braga! Do you understand?!"

Watching Paul Bento adjust the defense, the old coach Jesuardo Ferreira also began to make further adjustments.

In the 85th minute, Braga's second substitution adjustment followed.

Wende went off and was replaced by Jaime, a versatile midfielder!
This substitution adjustment is purely because Wende has exhausted his physical fitness until now, and he suffered from cramps just now. In order to defend well at the last time, Jesualdo Ferreira can only replace players with sufficient physical fitness .

The Benfica fans at the Jose Alvalade Stadium were dissatisfied when they saw that both sides had put on defensive players.

If at the last moment, both sides choose to maintain this peaceful and friendly score until the end of the game, then Benfica will not be able to enter the UEFA Champions League next season.

Ever since, the Benfica fan groups in the stands started clamoring.

"Attack! Sporting Lisbon, you guys are attacking!"

"Sporting Lisbon, don't pretend to be dead! What's the point of delaying like this!"

"Attack! Attack! Nani fuck him Braga!"

"Spicy Chicken Sporting Lisbon kicked the match! Are you ashamed!?"

……

The restlessness of the Benfica fan group made those Sporting Lisbon players who tended to support the rivals in the same city to enter the UEFA Champions League next season suddenly a little angry-I am still attacking in order to help you Benfica get the third place in the league , What are you guys trying to do in the stands!

This kind of anxiety caused the players of Sporting Lisbon to play more and more chaotically. The offensive end, which had been stalled because of the inconsistency of thinking, was now more like a headless chicken.

Nani was left alone in the frontcourt, and he still chose to attack Braga's defense after holding the ball.

But because the side lanes were really hard to open, Nani began to choose to rush forward in the middle lane.

However, the effect of this is even worse, and Braga's frontal defense has always been better than that of the wing.Nani's assault from the center means that he has to face the iron triangle of Fabiano Rosato, Paulo Jorge, and Van Dinho. These three experienced defensive players can be described as well-educated. Nani, a supernova, is a little skeptical.

In the 89th minute of the game, Nani advanced with the ball in the middle and sought follow-up assistance from Rodrygo and Lidson.

However, Nani's cry did not get a response from Rodrigo and Lidson - Lidson was not willing to give Benfica a hand, so he was basically passive in the later time, and Rodrigo was He was powerless, he was already entangled by Diego...

In desperation, Nani can only continue to choose to go it alone!

However, this time Nani couldn't even get past Fan Dinho.

Fan Dinho went down to the ground with a tackle and directly shoveled Nani with the ball.

"what……"

Nani got on the top of the actor's body again, rolled on the ground continuously, and even covered his ankle and shouted: "Foul! I shoveled my ankle!"

Ran goose!

The referee didn't blow his whistle - he could see clearly that Van Dinho first shoveled the ball and then brought Nani down. It was not a foul!
The game continues!

Seeing that the referee didn't blow the whistle, Fan Dinho didn't care about Nani's performance, and directly sent the ball to Sporting Lisbon's backcourt with a long pass!
Fight back!

continue!
