Beast King Costa

Chapter 335

The 15 minutes at halftime passed quickly.

Players from both sides come back to the field.

To the surprise of many Benfica players, the Alkmaar City Stadium is still full of seats, and the Alkmaar fans are still enthusiastic.

Perhaps it was because Jomo's goal made Alkmaar's fans see that the team still has the hope of scoring. Since they can still score, they still have the hope of equalizing the score, or even overtaking the score.

After all, Dutch fans have long been accustomed to various so-called "earth-shattering overtake" scripts, and have long been accustomed to the first half when the home team fell behind by a large score.

Anyway, in the second half of the game, they all believed that their home team would not disappoint the fans.

However, after returning to the stadium, the two substitutions on Benfica's side made Alkmaar fans, including coach Louis van Gaal, unable to understand.

Assis went off the field and replaced with Brazilian international full-back Leonardo Bastos. There is still no problem with this substitution.

After all, in Louis van Gaal's view, Benfica's starting left back should be Leonardo Bastos, a marginal Brazilian international. Assis, a young player, still seems to have insufficient experience and strength Matching the position of Benfica's starting full-back.

but!

Nuno Gomez was replaced, and Louis van Gaal said he couldn't understand this substitution adjustment.

Although Louis van Gaal knew that Francisco Fonseca, who was replaced, was a Mexican international, and he was still at the main level. He had always played at the "big killer" level in the Mexican Super League and the North American Champions Cup. But Francisco Fonseca is compared to Nuno Gomez, this level seems to be too different, right?
After all, Nuno Gomez is one of the members of the golden generation of Portuguese football. This Francisco Fonseca is just a "hair boy" who has just landed in the European arena. With such a European experience, he is quite blank. The center replaced Nuno Gomez, isn't this weakening the frontcourt attack?

"What the hell is Fernando Santos up to?"

Louis van Gaal couldn't help frowning: "The change of the center forward for the second striker doesn't look like he's changing his defensive tactics! This old man, what is he thinking?"

However, after racking his brains, Louis van Gaal was unable to figure out why Fernando Santos made such a substitution and adjustment, so he stopped wasting time trying to speculate on the opponent's tactical intentions.

Just keep me in charge!
Stick to the starting lineup of the first half of the game and keep playing!

Anyway... there aren't many tricks on the bench to come up with, so I'd better trust my main lineup.

"Beep..."

The Spanish referee Michel blew the whistle to start the second half!
After the start of the second half, AZ Alkmaar quickly took the initiative on the court and went all out to press Benfica.

Obviously, during the half-time break, Louis van Gaal made a tactical arrangement, that is, to complete the goal as soon as possible, and reduce the disadvantage of the score as early as possible or even equalize!

For the first home game of the Europa League in the new season, Louis van Gaal really couldn't tolerate his team not even scoring points.

At least, you have to get 1 point!

Anyway, after the lottery grouping was released and he learned that Alkmaar was in the same group as Portuguese giants Benfica and La Liga powerhouse Sevilla, Louis van Gaal had no hope of qualifying for the top spot in the group .

But fortunately, the 5 teams in the Europa League group stage played against each other at home and away, and the top three in the group qualified for the knockout stage. Even if Benfica and Sevilla qualify together, there is still a place for the group to qualify.

If you don't compete for the first place in the group, then you have to strive for the second place in the group.

Even if the group can't win the second place, there must be a third qualifying spot in the group!

Since we want to strive to qualify, we must strive to score points with Benfica and Sevilla, the two favorite teams to win the championship!

Even if you can't get 3 points, you still have to strive for 1 point!
Only in this way can the two minor league teams, Grasshopper and Liberec, have an advantage in qualifying when they finish the group stage and compare points and even goal difference!
After all, Grasshopper and Liberec are the giants of the minor leagues!Whether it's the Swiss home game or the Czech home game, it's not good.

Although Louis van Gaal has seen all kinds of big scenes from famous families, the Alkmaar team he has in hand is not as strong as the Barcelona team he led back then-in domestic leagues, cups, and the Europa League. In the battle, Louis van Gaal also had no confidence in his heart, and he was able to score 12 points on Grasshopper and Liberec.

"Press it! Press it!"

Louis van Gaal told his players in Dutch on the sidelines: "Still the same sentence! Get the start! As long as we get the start, we still have a chance to score 3 points in this game! The offensive attitude must be resolute! Resolute!"

The players on the field did not disappoint Louis van Gaal, the godfather of Dutch football on the sidelines.

Less than 5 minutes after the start of the second half, Alkmaar pressed Benfica and bombarded 4 shots frantically!
The most rare thing is that out of these 4 shots, 3 shots were on target!
The offensive efficiency is extremely high!

But Quim in front of Benfica's goal was flustered. Fortunately, when he came back from the second half of the game, Quim's luck was quite good. After several flying saves, he was able to save the ball with his fingers without being caught by Alkmaar. Steal the opening.

"call……"

Pressed by Alkmaar's fierce attack, Quim was a little out of breath.

After all, as Benfica's "second year ago" goalkeeper, in important games, he basically watched Moreto's divine saves from the bench in important games. What about such a ferocious offensive test?
If it wasn't for an attack, Louison was in place and helped clear the siege with his feet, otherwise the gate guarded by Quim would fall again.

"Hey, it's hard for Quim to defend against a strong offensive team."

On the bench, Rui Costa smiled and looked at Moreto next to him: "Perhaps, soon, coach Santos will figure it out and let you return to the main goalkeeper position, right?"

"Hey! I hope that Quim's saves in front of the goal can be more stable. It doesn't matter whether I can return to the starting position..."

Regarding the starting battle with Quim, Moreto's mentality is still very calm: "After all, Quim has been our team's second goal for four or five seasons. He is indeed outstanding in certain fields. Since coach Santos appreciates Quim so much and gave Quim a chance to start, I still hope that he can find out the gaps and make up for the omissions and secure the starting position."

Speaking of this, Moreto said with a smile: "As for me, at most, I will play in a different team in the winter window. I have just reached the golden period of my career as a goalkeeper, and I have also played as the main goalkeeper in Benfica for so many years. No matter how you say it, it won’t be reduced to playing without the ball, right?”

"That's definitely not the case, Moretto. I dare say that as long as you want to leave Benfica and try somewhere else, there will definitely be a lot of Serie A teams offering you an olive branch..."

After all, Rui Costa said with a smile: "Even, I can help you connect with the top management of the AC Milan club. Are you interested?"

"Ah... AC Milan!!!"

The fanatical voice in Moreto's heart is of course: I am willing!
However, after calming down, Moreto shook his head helplessly: "Forget it! The No. [-] goalkeepers of the five major league teams occupy the starting position of the national team. I am such a player that even the Spanish national team has How can a goalkeeper who can’t make it in compete for the starting line-up in the top five leagues. The mid-lower teams in the top five leagues, especially those with relatively serious defensive problems, can try. I’m still confident that I can help them Filling in the loopholes in our defense."

"This idea is really good!"

Rui Costa nodded in agreement and said: "After all, a tall goalkeeper like you can indeed help many middle and lower players..."

Just before Rui Costa finished speaking, the uproar on the court made both Rui Costa and Moreto return their attention to the court—at this time Diego was excitedly going to the corner flag area Running away, the teammates also rushed in the direction of Diego excitedly, celebrating Benfica together, which was also Diego's fourth goal in this game!

"Wow! It's my fourth year!!!"

"Diego, you kid is going to be on fire again!"

"What the hell, is it really that easy to score a goal?!"

"Diego, you kid is really a scoring beast!!!"

……

Rui Costa and Moreto couldn't help looking at each other. They didn't know how Diego's goal happened just now. They said that they were chatting just now, and suddenly scored.

You know, this is only the 56th minute of the second half, and 11 minutes into the second half, I didn't expect Diego to complete the big four.

"As soon as this kid Diego scores a goal, the momentum is really unstoppable!"

Rui Costa said with emotion: "Diego has a body like a beast, and he also has the sprinting power of a wide player. His footwork is becoming more and more solid now, and he even occasionally shows off quite dazzling footwork. The shooting feeling in front of the goal is also top-notch... Oh my god! This kid really has unlimited future! I can't even predict how high Diego can grow in the future."

"I can't stop it, I can't stop it!"

Moreto, the big brother of the "Brazilian Gang" in the Benfica team, also sighed with a look of astonishment: "After coming to Benfica, I scored 3 goals and 3 assists in my first appearance in the Portuguese Super League. I took a rest in the league. In the Europa League, the game is less than 60 minutes, less than two-thirds of the time, and there are 4 goals! This guy Diego is a beast! It’s terrible! Fortunately, I am not his opponent Yeah! Otherwise, I will be kicked by him and lose all my confidence."

"Sooner or later, we're all going to be Diego's opponents."

Rui Costa had a firm expression on his face: "With Diego's momentum, Benfica won't be able to keep him for too long. Maybe next season, Diego will already be the main player in the five major leagues." How about a wealthy team from China directly compete with us in the Champions League?"

"Hahaha! If by that time, I have returned to the starting goalkeeper position of the team, then I will have to find a way to make it difficult for Diego to score..."

In any case, he is the big brother of the Brazilian gang that Diego respects most in Benfica. Moreto showed a sweet and confident smile: "There is a chance to fight each other. I will defend until Diego doubts his life."

……

In fact, Diego's fourth goal of the game was not difficult at all.

Since there is a display screen above the stands at the Alkmaar City Stadium to review the recent goal highlights, Rui Costa and Moreto, who were chatting on the bench just now, can also review Diego's wonderful performance. The whole process of scoring a goal.

Diego's goal this time was due to Joey Gudjonsson losing his defensive position, which gave Diego the opportunity to directly hold the ball and beat Alkmaar's two central defenders.

As for the reason why Joey Gujongsen lost his defensive position, it was also because of the significance of Francisco Fonseca on the court!

Since the highlights did not show Fernando Santos on the sidelines, it is not known whether Francisco Fonseca's containment effect will be used to make Diego's goal easier. Fernando Santos will show a satisfied smile—— His midfield changes can even score 120 points.

Carter Solanis' long pass went to the high point of Francisco Fonseca, who was quite defenseless. In order to prevent Francisco Fonseca from receiving the ball, Joey Gujongsen directly hit the direction of his own goal. Give up Diego to make up for it!
However, Francisco Fonseca, an excellent stance forward, has a very clear mind on the court. He knows what he should do in order to play his role as a bridgehead in the frontcourt!
With a flick of the head, Francisco Fonseca ferried the ball to Diego on the other side.

After Diego stopped the ball in his chest, he decisively turned around with the ball and rushed towards Alkmaar's goal!

Seeing Diego's impact with the ball so fiercely, Alkmaar's two central defenders were stunned on the spot.

Although at the critical moment, the two thin central defenders went up immediately and used their bodies to resist Diego's beast-like torso, but in the end they couldn't escape the one who was directly attacked by Diego and killed him. The result of entering the small penalty area to complete the shot.

4 is better than 1!

With ease, Diego completed the big four!
It's only one step away from Wuzi enrolling!

Anyway, Diego is not greedy at all - in this game, it is enough to have "five sons enroll", at least five goals in the first game, and let his "excess task" be done first After that, we will continue to compete with the sharpshooters in the Europa League for the Golden Boot.
