Chapter 222 This Is The Friendship They Need
Fernando Santos did not play his favorite 4-4-1-1 formation in this inconsequential game.

After all, this temporarily recruited training team does not have the "1" behind the center. In my mind, the best "1" in the Benfica lineup, Nuno Gomez, has just finished playing the World Cup and is on vacation. Woolen cloth.

And the players of the youth team cannot top this "1" position.

Therefore, in this game, Fernando Santos simply did not arrange shadow forwards, and directly arranged the lineup into a 4-5-1 formation.

In the final analysis, after traveling to China for nearly 20 hours by plane and car, the hosts can arrange their team comfortably, and they can't let their opponents lose too badly, right?

Therefore, Fernando Santos explained to his players before the game: "Controlling the midfield, we can slow down the rhythm and don't have to pursue the advantage of the score too much. Treat it as a training, warm-up, and friendly game. It's—well! Friendship comes first."

This is so clear that even a fool can hear it. The head coach told them not to win too many goals against their opponents.

However, Diego doesn't think so.

He said "no problem" to the head coach, but Diego felt in his heart that facing such a team with a lax attitude, he should kick the ball into the opponent's goal with all his strength!

Let them know one by one, what is called a professional player, what is called the level that the top league should have!
Therefore, just after the start of the game, Diego, as a single arrow, played very actively.

Facing the Qingdao team's "all-China class" lineup, Diego's crazy pressing in the frontcourt forced the Qingdao team's players to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Liu Zhenzhen.

For Qingdao team's starting goalkeeper Liu Zhenzhen, Diego can be regarded as knowing this name in later generations.

This native Shandong goalkeeper has played in Qingdao and Shandong Luneng teams in his career. Although he is not tall and his body is even a little fat, his reaction ability is quite good, but his defense against high-altitude balls and goal kicks are poor. , so at the age of the golden period of his career, he can only be ranked second in the Shandong team.

At the moment Liu Zhenzhen can be regarded as high-spirited. He has just played from the youth team to the Qingdao team. Not long after he started, even facing Benfica, who reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, he still has the attitude of "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers".

Holding the ball back from his teammate, Liu Zhen took the ball unhurriedly, showing off his rough footwork in various ways in the penalty area, and even played with his defender teammates.

"Fuck me, such a way to play?!"

Diego was the first to lose sight of it.

As a goalkeeper, actually showing off his footwork in the penalty area? ? ?

The question is, how dare you show off such rough footwork? ? ?

Ever since, Diego decided to give Liu Zhen a profound "education of love" - ​​taking advantage of Liu Zhen's opportunity to receive a pass back from his teammate, Diego decisively pressed forward.

Liu Zhenzhen was startled by such a fierce pressing, and he hurriedly drove out to the front field with a big kick.

Ran goose ...

This kick definitely went wrong.

Liu Zhenzhen's big foot drove directly to the feet of Benfica midfielder Beto. Without any hesitation, Beto directly slid his foot straight to the feet of Diego who had returned to the onside position.

At this moment, there is no defensive player around Diego.

After catching the ball, Diego turned around and shot straight!
Liu Zhenzhen was even stunned, and didn't even react, just witnessing Diego's explosive shot opened the scoring for the first time in a daze!

1 is better than 0!

It took only 7 minutes for Benfica to complete the "friendship break" of the game.

"What the hell!"

After being scored, Liu Zhenzhen had a bitter expression on his face, and he even blamed his defender teammate: "I shouldn't have passed back to me just now! The opponent's forwards have already pressed forward. Didn't you make me make a mistake?! "

"..."

The defenders of the Qingdao team also rolled their eyes speechlessly. It seems that Liu Zhenzhen called them to fall in the backcourt just now, right?They made a mistake now, how could they be blamed?

After scoring the goal, Diego did not have the usual "Diego-style celebration" of running around the field-the task of averaging running distance was already a matter of last season, and the official game of this season has not yet started, so Diego has not yet received the new season task of the Real Ball King system.

Even with a serious expression on his face, Diego returned to the middle circle without even celebrating, ready to continue the game.

No one knew that Diego's inner emotion at this time was anger.

I can't argue with it!

"Ugh!!!"

Diego sighed heavily.

Why can the opponent make such a low-level mistake? !It shouldn't be like this!

"Beep..."

The referee blew the whistle to start the game again.

After the game resumed, Benfica's 4-5-1 formation quickly came to a standstill, but the Qingdao team's formation was still as scattered as it was at the beginning.

甚至乎，教练席上的费尔南多·桑托斯一脸困惑的跟自己的教练组成员们沟通着：“对手究竟是打主打什么阵型呢？首发名单写的是4-3-3，但我怎么看都不像4-3-3呀，怎么……呃，像2-6-2呢？一会儿又像2-5-3呢？”

Well... After studying for a long time, the coaching staff of Benfica still failed to study what kind of formation the Qingdao team is.

Not only that, the Qingdao team's defense is also extremely chaotic, the defensive players often overlap, and the defense is blindly targeted-seeing that Diego scored just now, the Qingdao team's players are biting Diego. The four circled around Diego, preventing Diego from receiving the ball.

Although such a large number of defenses can indeed prevent Diego from receiving the ball.

But in this way, others are completely emptied.

In the 15th minute of the game, Beto and Nelson, who were completely emptied, completed a two-for-one cooperation in the midfield, and successfully penetrated the chaotic defense line of the Qingdao team. Finally, Nelson entered the penalty area and dunked. After passing the last defensive player, he hit Liu Zhen's wicket to complete the goal!

2 is better than 0!

"It's too easy."

Like Diego, Nelson didn't celebrate much after scoring, because the goal was scored as it was sent, leaving Nelson with no desire to celebrate.

"Indeed, very easy."

Diego smiled wryly and said, "Since it's so easy, I think we need to score a few more goals. Otherwise, the opponent's defense will have no sense of vigilance at all."

"Uh, if we let it go, the game will go to waste, right?"

Nelson pouted at the coach of the visiting team: "Coach Santos told me before the game that 'friendship' comes first."

"It's a kind of friendship for the opponent to see the level of the top European teams!"

Diego added with a solemn expression: "Moreover, this is the opponent in this match, the 'friendship' that needs to be gained!"
