Beast King Costa

Chapter 206

After watching the first quarter-final match between the Swedish team and the Argentine team, many young players from Japan Fica came to the Benfica training base again the next day.

Today, the team's trusted coach Fernando Santos will hold a tactical meeting, and he will instill his tactical concepts into these young talents in Benfica.

"Personally, I am more inclined to play defensively and counterattack! In my opinion, only based on defense, based on the invincible position, and then pursue 3 points... Oh! Last season, I took the Greek giants AEK Athens, Only lost 3 games in the season, and finally won the Greek Super League championship."

“4-2-3-1、4-4-1-1、5-3-2，都是我比较喜欢的阵型。但接下来我们会着重的演练4-4-1-1阵型，毕竟咱们本菲卡有着葡萄牙最棒的影锋球员努诺·戈麦斯。我会让努诺隐藏在中锋身后，成为一个隐蔽的主要进攻点。”

"My midfield defense needs to be tougher than other teams. My 4 midfielders need to cover all positions in front of the central defenders, minimizing the chances of opponent strikers directly attacking our defense. Also! When attacking, I need midfielders who can also actively push in and participate in the frontcourt."

"The backcourt players not only need to know how to defend, but also how to clear the ball. I hope that my backcourt players can all have accurate long-passing skills... Oh! Especially the goalkeeper position. During a quick counterattack, I will pursue the goalkeeper. Directly pass the ball with a long kick, find the big center on top of the forward, and threaten the opponent's penalty area as quickly as possible."

"The full-back plays a very important role in my tactical system. The full-back needs to constantly participate in offense and defense back and forth between the two penalty areas. When switching from offense to defense, I will ask the full-back to return more to the center. , keep the number of defenders in the middle more dense. So! The defense on the side mainly depends on the performance of the winger."

"Center players mainly play with their backs and participate in high-altitude bombing of set pieces. I don't need my center to score 30 goals a season, but it is best to send 30 assists to Nuno Gomez - Nuno Gomez Nogo Gomez will take over 8% of our team's shots next season."

"All in all! Our next tactical system will be built around the central axis of Nuno Gomez, Petit, and Louison from the frontcourt to the backcourt. I hope everyone can perform their duties in the future. Serve the three players on this central axis well."

……

After this tactical lesson, the young players are not aware of Fernando Santos in various ways.

But veteran players like Moreto, Beto, Nelson, Assis, and even Diego can immediately spot some clues.

"It's obvious! Coach Santos has no intention of reusing our group of people!"

During lunch, taking advantage of Fernando Santos' absence, Diego angrily complained to his teammates: "I don't need my center forward to score 30 goals a season, but he'd better be able to send 30 assists". This What nonsense! Of course I can play for Nuno Gomez, but the frontcourt is mutual!"

"It doesn't matter! We are young people, serving the main players, that's what we should do."

David Louis didn't care much about this—after all, he had just landed in Europe, and the "shaggy head" still kept his attitude relatively low.

However, Diego does not have such a good mentality as David Luiz.

"Damn it! How can I say that I was also a center with double-digit goals last season! Let me not shoot for a season, but give the ball to Nuno Gomez to shoot. Then I will come down after one season. Do I still know how to shoot? Next season, I will directly switch to a defensive midfielder!"

"Diego, calm down."

After Beto comforted Diego's emotions, he muttered in a low voice: "Actually, 'Nuno-Petit-Louisson', it is indeed no problem to use this central axis as the core. But the point is, Coach Santos wants other People play football around this central axis and completely serve this central axis, which is tantamount to characterizing everyone, which shouldn’t be the case!”

"You guys are alright, at least you can still be characterized, I'm in trouble!"

Moreto, the main goalkeeper of Benfica last season, smiled wryly: "After the morning meeting, coach Santos asked me to chat alone. After he criticized my footwork, he told me very seriously, 'If this offseason, you If you can’t practice your footwork, Naquim will take your place in the starting lineup.”

"hiss……"

Everyone was shocked immediately.

Fernando Santos actually wants to remove Moreto, the goalkeeper who has started at Benfica for three seasons?Replaced with the 3-year-old Quim starting?

Isn't it going to set a team history conceded record next season?

Although we all know that the new coach took office three fires, I didn't expect it to be burned so quickly, and it was burned on their main players.

All of a sudden, everyone is in danger.

But for the time being, the main frame players are still on vacation or playing in the World Cup. Therefore, those players who returned to the club for training early can temporarily gain a firm position in the training session.

However, judging from some arrangements made by Fernando Santos in the training session, it seems that the old coach has reserved two positions for his favorite Greek generals Karagonis and Kate Solanis?

Since the two Greek internationals played three friendly matches during the offseason to help the World Cup participating teams train, they are still on vacation for the time being.

At this moment, the starting big center in the training session is Diego.

But Diego can already feel the sense of crisis-Fernando Santos has the same stubbornness as Jesualdo Ferreira, and he is still very self-willed and nepotism in the direction of employing people!
Fernando Santos will not even affirm you because of your good form-in his eyes, there are only a few names he is familiar with and trusts.

Of course, this is just a training camp that started in advance, just for the friendly match with the two Chinese teams.

Before the start of the new Portuguese Super League season, there are still variables in everything.

But Diego still attaches great importance to this sense of crisis.

For such a self-willed head coach, Diego not only needs to be himself, but also needs to be better and more outstanding than the confidants in Fernando Santos' heart, so that he can enter the eyes of the old coach. Sit at the core of the tactical system.

"In short, I, Diego, don't want to be a role player. I'm going to be a helper for some 'big brother'! We came to Benfica to be the core!"
