Beast King Costa

Chapter 327 King's Landing Stadium of Light
"Rui! Rui! Rui!!!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero!!!"

"Ruy! Welcome back to Benfica! We love you forever!"

"Hero! The Stadium of Light will always be your home!"

"Come on, Rui!!!"

……

As Rui Costa returned to Benfica's first official game, and it was at the Stadium of Light, Benfica's home stadium, Rui Costa received an unprecedented warm welcome.

The entire Stadium of Light was full of seats. Almost all Benfica loyalists came to the Stadium of Light to witness the first official game after Benfica's hero Rui Costa returned to the team.

That pleased club president Felipe Vieira.

In the VIP stands, Felipe Vieira told the club staff around him: "Rui's return to the team is simply the best signing of the offseason. Rui's return is not only a zero-turnover Membership fees, even Rui Rui did not open his mouth on the issue of the contract. Most importantly! Rui Rui's box office effect is really terrible! It has been a long time since the Stadium of Light has not played in the Lisbon Derby, the Portuguese National Derby, and the Champions League knockout The game is packed."

"With Rui here, the team's box office in the new season will definitely hit a new high!"

"Yes!"

Felipe Vieira nodded with satisfaction and said: "I was worried before that after the team was overthrown and rebuilt, because there were too many young people, it would not be able to gather box office popularity, so I thought of what I said before about returning to Benfica and retiring. Rui. With Rui's return, I think our Benfica box office in the new season may be higher than that of the Dragon Stadium!"

"The best thing is that Rui's popularity can attract more fans who are originally inclined to support Sporting Lisbon and become our die-hard fans of Benfica!"

"Yes! We at Benfica cannot keep up with Sporting Lisbon. We must strive to surpass Sporting Lisbon in terms of club reputation as soon as possible and become the boss of Lisbon City!"

"Haha! I actually think that Benfica is now the boss of Lisbon City!"

"I feel so too!"

"Hahahahaha!"

……

At this time, Diego was already sitting on the bench. He must not have known that in the VIP stands of the Stadium of Light, the club chairman Felipe Vieira and the club staff were talking to Wu The ball king once said a similar topic after the Shanghai Derby.

I thought that as a double hat-trick in the last game, helping the team beat Boavista 8-0, he would be warmly welcomed at the Stadium of Light.

However, the goose did not...

It seems that because Diego has not entered Benfica's starting lineup, the audience at the Stadium of Light has forgotten Diego, the "unsolvable center". Almost the entire stadium is shouting "Rui! Rui! Rui! Rui!" Yi!" It seems that the entire Stadium of Light has become Rui Costa's home court.

"Ah! Boss Rui's prestige is too high! He really deserves to be the representative of Portugal's golden generation!"

On the bench, Beto looked at the various banners and slogans prepared by the fans for Rui Costa in the stands with emotion: "I really hope that I can be treated like this in the future!"

Having said that, Beto sighed resolutely: "Hey! However, just think about it. Before leaving the Portuguese Super League, Boss Rui has already led Benfica to win the Portuguese Super League championship and is also the most valuable player of the Portuguese Super League Compared with Boss Rui, I really can't catch up with the gap."

"Haha! Beto, Boss Rui has such a high reputation in Portugal, not only because of his achievements in the Portuguese Super League and Benfica. More importantly, Rui has played an important role in the Portuguese national team for so many years. A pivotal role, leading the national team to the top ranks in Europe in one fell swoop!"

Captain Petit, who was rested on the bench, said with emotion: "Think about it, before Cristiano Ronaldo turned out, Boss Rui, Deco, and Nuno were the midfielders of our Portuguese national team. The three of them basically arranged all the assists and goals of the national team. My midfielder is just a helper, and I am just a support for the boss Rui. How can there be any midfield core at all—as long as the boss Rui Now, the midfield core of the Portuguese national team will not be someone else."

"It's a pity! The hero is late!"

Moreto also said with emotion: "This season is the last season of Boss Rui. Time is not forgiving! I used to watch the video of Boss Rui's game in AC Milan, that speed, that pace, that reaction... tsk tsk tsk It’s simply unsolvable! Now that I’m older, the body’s reaction is indeed a few beats slower than before.”

"Yes! None of us can escape the wheel of time."

"We all get old, so! Cherish the moment!"

"Well! Cherish the golden period of our careers! We will not leave any regrets in the future!"

……

"Beep..."

A long whistle sounded in the air, echoing in the Stadium of Light.

On the bench, when the rest of the core players were feeling the big topic of life, the match between Benfica and the Portuguese national officially began!
Although it was a substitute lineup against the Portuguese national team, Benfica still maintained strong control from the beginning.

Of course, the reason for this unsolvable midfield control is purely the existence of one person.

Rui Costa!
The Portuguese national midfielder configuration Bruno Amaro, Giulianos Padacio, Kleber, and Bruno Fernandez are not considered low in the Portuguese Super League. Even in terms of worth, they can already be ranked in the top six of the Portuguese Super League However, the combination of four people cannot limit Rui Costa's control ability in the midfield.

Even Rui Costa didn't need Carter Solanis to help him and to support him. He stuck the ball tightly to his feet like a magnet under his feet, allowing the midfielder of the Portuguese national to act like this Pressing, even the ball under his feet could not be broken.

It can be said that the 37-year-old Rui Costa is using his personal ability to educate the young people in the Portuguese Super League-you are still far from reaching the level of the five major league giants, and you still need to make great progress !

In the 17th minute of the game, Rui Costa created an excellent free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

For Rui Costa, this position can completely complete the goal with a direct free kick.

However, Rui Costa is not greedy for credit.

I saw Rui Costa took advantage of the set-piece opportunity, an indirect free kick outlined a perfect arc and sent it to the top of Francisco Fonseca's head in the high point of the penalty area.

High center Francisco Fonseca jumped high, overwhelmed all the Portuguese national defenders, and succeeded with a header!

1 is better than 0!

Mexican high center Francisco Fonseca's header bombing ability was fully demonstrated after joining Benfica - Benfica has a number of assists who can provide Francisco Fonseca with the ball, and Francisco Fonseca only needs Appear in the right position and just take advantage of your teammates to play the ball.

In the 29th minute of the game, Rui Costa still created a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, this time the position was even closer to the goal.

Rui Costa chose to come by himself this time.

A perfect direct free kick!
Directly defeated the Portuguese national goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net!
2 is better than 0!

It took Rui Costa just half an hour to score 1 goal and 1 assist in his first appearance back at Benfica. It was a perfect debut!

Rui Costa's perfect return debut also made the crowd at the Stadium of Light go crazy for it.

"Rui! Rui! Rui!!!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero!!!"

"There is only one Rui in the world!!!"

……

In order to stay focused on the Europa League in the middle of the week, Fernando Santos continued to make substitution adjustments after the first half of the game.After all, the team had a 2-0 lead in the first half of the game, and in the second half of the game, more players can make their debuts in the new season.

Assis down!Brazil international Leonardo Bastos comes on!Fernando Santos continues to strengthen his ability to make assists from the wing!

Rui Costa out!Beto comes on!Because there are too many talents in Benfica's midfield in the new season, Beto, the regular main force of Benfica last season, is facing fierce competition.

Although Beto was squeezed out of the main frame, he still has the strength to play the main force in Benfica.

After replacing Rui Costa, Beto's midfield partner with Carter Solanis still maintained a very strong control, leaving the Portuguese national's four midfielders at a loss.

In the 68th minute of the second half of the game, Simao took advantage of the opportunity of a defensive counterattack to single-handedly challenge the entire back line of the Portuguese nationals, and completed the offensive end by himself!
3 is better than 0!

In the subsequent game time, Benfica did not make matters worse - after all, Diego was not on the court, and others did not have Diego's crazy desire to assist or score goals, now that the score had reached a 3-0 lead. advantage, the Portuguese nationals basically gave up resistance, and the main players of Benfica also raised their hands.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, João Cumbra also got the chance to make his debut in Benfica.

In the end, the two sides ended with a score of 3 to 0!
In the case of frequent upsets in this round, Benfica still won the second victory of the new season steadily!
It's just a pity...

Diego did not get a chance to play in this home game to get assists~
As for the simultaneous games, the defending champion Porto also scored 3 points steadily. Porto's opponent is Navarre, a small club. beyond what one might expect.

In the case of Sporting Lisbon's first defeat in the new season, it is very likely that only Benfica and Porto will compete for the Portuguese Super League championship in the new season.
