Chapter 264 Bold Ideas

"Don't fight against Benfica's afro-headed central defender, you can't fight against it!"

"Go more to the side! Side! There is a chance on the side!"

"Oh! Don't think about going straight to the middle! There is no way!"

"Please play smarter, okay! Don't be so stupid again, okay!?"

……

Victor Fernandez apparently didn't see the problem until much later.

Sergio Garcia, the big center of Real Zaragoza, always thinks that he can take advantage of the physical confrontation with David Luiz and complete the turn. After all, David Luiz is a Benfica player in his opinion. Absolute newcomer, even just a Brazilian rookie who has just landed in European football.

But he never expected that David Luiz's defense simply made him desperate.

Just...

Sergio Garcia has never been able to learn from a fall and a wisdom at all. He has suffered from David Luiz many times, and he has been going in the direction of David Luiz without thinking of going to Alcide at all. Sri Lanka, or seek an offensive breakthrough from the wing.

Sergio Garcia and Gonzalez remained unchanged despite constant reminders from Victor Fernandez.

Very simply, Victor Fernandez decided to change players without changing his mind!
"Diego Milito, Aimar, warm up and get ready to play!"

"Yes!!!"

After Pablo Aimar joined the "Bat Legion" Valencia in 01, he shocked the entire Spanish football world with his smart moves in the frontcourt and various weird breakthrough methods.

The nickname of "Joker" can be said to be known to everyone in the entire Iberian Peninsula.

So, watching Pablo Aimar start to warm up, the players on the Benfica bench also whispered.

"Look! Real Zaragoza is ready to replace 'Joker' Aimar!"

"Damn it! Aimar, this is amazing! It's definitely at the level of the Argentine national team."

"However, it is a pity that Aimar did not go to Germany with the national team."

"It is said that it is because the national team coach doesn't like him."

"Who said that? It is said that Aimar was given up by the head coach because his position conflicted with Barcelona supernova Leo Messi."

"It's true! With Messi, there is no need for Aimar."

……

Although they all feel that Aimar's talent and strength are not as good as Barcelona supernova Leo Messi, the Benfica team is quite looking forward to playing against Aimar and feeling the weird breakthrough and passing methods of the "Joker".

Fernando Santos, who was on the Benfica bench, didn't pay much attention to Diego Milito and Pablo Aimar getting up to warm up.

Fernando Santos still keeps his focus on the pitch.

He began to let David Luiz press forward more according to the long passing ability shown by David Luiz.

"David! Be bold! Show me how you handle the ball!"

"That's right! Be more daring! If you can dribble the ball across the half, that's even better!"

"João Cumbra, you drop back to the central defender position! Give up the midfield position to David!"

"David! That's right! That's how it is played!"

……

Obviously, Fernando Santos felt like he had found a baby.

Unexpectedly, the young center back that the club insisted on importing from the newly promoted Vitoria Club of Brazil had such a versatile ability. Not only is the defense in place, but the header ability is unsolvable. Such an excellent midfielder.

This gave Fernando Santos a bolder idea-why not let David Luiz go directly to the midfield position and act as half of the playmaker?
Let David Luiz partner Pettit play double midfielders in the midfield, which means that both midfielders have organizational skills, which can make opponents hard to defend.

However, soon, Joao Cumbra told Fernando Santos with his poor performance: Do not hesitate!Never!Don't arrange it like this!

In the 34th minute of the game, just as Diego Milito and "Joker" Pablo Aimar were about to come off the bench, Sergio Garcia, the big center of Real Zaragoza, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and completed the game. goal!
This is completely an accidental pass, converted into a scoring opportunity.

Real Zaragoza midfielder Ponzio cleared the ball and it fell impartially into the area where João Cumbra and Sergio Garcia were located.

This time, Sergio Garcia finally didn't have to face the hopeless big man David Luiz.

Facing the generalist João Kumbra in the backcourt, who is quite average in physical confrontation ability and defensive awareness, Sergio Garcia decisively competed with him for the first penalty kick.

And snatched the ball smoothly, and with a right foot, created a single-handed ball opportunity.

Facing the Benfica national team goalkeeper Quim, Sergio Garcia scored a goal at the far post!
1 is better than 0!

Real Zaragoza actually took the lead in the score when the scene was passive!

After Sergio Garcia's goal, Victor Fernandez's eyes lit up and he signaled Diego Milito and Pablo Aimar to return to the bench for the time being and wait until the second half. .

After all, Sergio Garcia can be regarded as a veteran of Real Zaragoza. It is really inappropriate to replace him just after scoring a goal.

There are still about 10 minutes before the end of the first half. It is better to let the frontcourt combination of Sergio Garcia and Gonzalez play the rest of the time.

Maybe, Sergio Garcia and Gonzalez can give themselves more dazzling performances?

"Look, Quim's saving ability is just like this."

Off the court, Moreto watched Quim's save, and he shook his head like a rattle: "Quim's height is flawed—not even 1 meters, even if he stretches his whole body, with his arms extended to the longest To seal the dead corner, there is no way to keep the ball out. Besides, Sergio Garcia, the high center forward, obviously has a rough footwork, and he didn't kick an absolute dead corner. Mu can't even catch it... hey!"

Having said that, Moreto looked desperate.

"Think about it, if the team lets Quim be the starting goalkeeper next season, the goal will be sieved by all kinds of technical forwards."

"Hey! I don't know what coach Santos is thinking."

Diego also shook his head helplessly.

It's just that, what makes Diego helpless is not that Fernando Santos hand-picked Quim as the main goalkeeper for the new season, but that Fernando Santos has never paid much attention to himself since the training period!

Of course, at this moment, Fernando Santos' attention is even less likely to be on Diego.

Seeing João Cumbra being easily overwhelmed by Sergio Garcia, Fernando Santos' entire face was as black as a rag.

Obviously, he almost overlooked a question just now.

With the current level of other central defenders in Benfica, it is not enough to be able to push David Luiz to the midfielder position with confidence!
Moreover, Benfica has a lot of choices in the middle of the midfield, and David Luiz should take care of the position of the central defender and consolidate the team's defense.

After conceding the ball, Fernando Santos stopped making bold attempts and returned David Luiz to the central defender position and João Kumbra to the central midfield.

With this adjustment, the rest of the game was once again deadlocked.

After Real Zaragoza scored, they didn't care about expanding the score in the first half of the game. Facing a Champions League regular and a Portuguese Super League team, they were able to score 1-0 after the first half. [-] lead and returned to the locker room, which is already a full score to complete the task.

Therefore, the Real Zaragoza players on the field at this moment have a unified mind.

Strengthen your defense!

No opponents in the first half of the game!
however……

Benfica's lineup has no offensive organization at all.

Benfica's midfield organization once again stalled as David Luiz returned to the backcourt and Fernando Santos cued him to reduce the number of possessions and direct long balls.

João Cumbra is really unusable.

Real Zaragoza's midfield combination of Ponzio and Longash can easily limit Joao Kumbra's forward or very threatening left.

This forced Joao Kumbra to either play the ball in the backcourt, or he could only play the ball in the direction of Manu on the right.

Although Manu is extremely fast, his ability to combine man and ball is also quite good. He is an indispensable winger fast horse player on the coach's tactical board.

However, when the fast horse dribbled forward with the ball, he couldn't see the position of his teammates at all.

He just kept his head down, sprinted forward, and then directly completed the cross from the bottom, regardless of whether his big center had entered the opponent's penalty area or not.

This made Francisco Fonseca play quite crazy.

Although the Mexican international big center has excellent aerial control and physical confrontation ability, his speed is below the average.

Often, Manu has already reached the bottom line of the opponent's penalty area with the ball and completed the cross with his kick. Francisco Fonseca has just reached the opponent's penalty area line.

In the end, Francisco Fonseca could only watch as Real Zaragoza's central defender pushed the ball to the area behind him.

"Ugh……"

Fernando Santos sighed helplessly.

Seeing that there were less than 2 minutes left in the first half, he directly signaled the players on the bench to start warming up.

It can be seen that after returning from the halftime break, Fernando Santos is preparing to make a large-scale substitution to send all the core players of the team onto the field.

After all, the Portuguese coach is a decent man.

He couldn't accept that his team lost to a La Liga relegation team.
