Beast King Costa

Chapter 362 A Difficult Start
As the most eye-catching game in the Europa League group stage of the 2006-2007 season, the defending champion Sevilla's home stadium Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan can be described as full of seats.

More than 6 spectators poured into the entire Ramón Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, which made Juande Ramos, the navigator of the "Europa League King", feel quite shocked.

After all, the attractiveness of Benfica's opponent is quite good.

After all, there are many international-level players in the Benfica lineup. The main players of the Portuguese national team, such as Petit, Simao, and Rui Costa, and even the former core players, still have a very strong presence in the Iberian Peninsula. of high prestige.

It's just a pity that Petit, Simao, and Rui Costa were all absent from this game due to injuries.

But for fans, they have two other concerns.

The Brazilian national team is printing central defender Luisson!
Portugal national team frontcourt player Nuno Gomez!
When the starting players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel, the voices of two national players, Luison and Nuno Gomez, were quite loud.

"Louisson! My God! It's Luisson! The Brazilian national team's starting central defender!"

"Nuno Gomez! Cool! He's the genie in the frontcourt!"

"Nuno! Nuno! Nuno! Come on! Nuno! Come on for this game!"

……

Of course……

Only a small number of fans cheered for the Benfica players.

Most of the fans who poured into the Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan Stadium were still more for their home team, the players of Sevilla shouted loudly, and the cheers continued.

"Luis!!! Luis!!! Our hero!!! The hero of Seville!!!"

"Canute! Tower! Get him! Get Benfica!!!"

"Renato! Long live! Our Sevilla captain! Come on!"

"Daniel! I saw your assists in this game! The pass in the last game was so beautiful!"

"Yesuli! Come on! This game will break up Benfica! We want to win the final victory!"

"Seville! Seville! Seville!!!"

"We are the kings of the Europa League! We will successfully defend the title! Long live Sevilla!!!"

……

As the club with the highest prestige in Seville at present, Seville has a very loyal crowd no matter in the city of Seville or in the entire Iberian Peninsula. In the evening, the Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan Stadium turned into a devil's stadium, which made the visiting Benfica players feel hairy on their backs.

More than 6 fans!

This is even more frightening than the warm-up match at the Mestalla Stadium!
When there is a little bit better.

Sevilla fans still seem too friendly compared to Valencia fans.

Sevilla fans are more supportive of their home team, and they don't often use words to attack visiting team players.

"call……"

Diego looked at the crowded stands around him, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed: "The atmosphere is too scary! It's really frightening."

"Calm down!"

David Louis said calmly: "Anyway, they won't rush down to the stand to fight with you, let alone eat you. What are you afraid of them doing? Just kick it leisurely... Oh! If you kick too hard Now, if you injure their home team players, it's hard to guarantee that no one will rush down and beat you up."

"Haha! Shouldn't I remind you of this?"

Diego couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't hurt Luis Fabiano when you are defending! Luis Fabiano is the hero of Seville. If you put If someone's hero is injured, the problem will be serious."

"My defense is so clean, may I hurt someone?!"

"This can't be said for sure."

"Cut! I will definitely restrain Luis Fabiano cleanly..."

Speaking of this, David Luiz couldn't help but paused, and said a little discouraged: "Of course, there is also a possibility - I was completely blown up by Luis Fabiano. After all, Luis Fabiano is really amazing. Hey!"

"Don't be discouraged! Don't be discouraged!"

Diego was behind David Luiz, doing a "horse killing chicken" for David Luiz: "Dude, take it easy. Anyway, you are the starting central defender of the Brazilian National Youth Team! This background can be described as It's leveraged. Why are you afraid of Luis Fabiano! You are a future world-class central defender, no problem."

"I hope so."

……

After the simple opening ceremony, the focus of this Europa League match officially ignited the flames of war!

Home team Sevilla kick off!
After the opening, Sevilla didn't mean to be polite at all, and the four midfielders pressed decisively!

Juande Ramos saw the weakness of Benfica's lack of midfield control in this game. Duda and Jesuli's two full-backs pressed very high.

In fact, Juande Ramos is also very focused. In this game, Benfica's midfield control is indeed very weak.

Let Sevilla press on, and Benfica is also a little powerless to resist.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, the Sevilla midfielder organized two very threatening attacks, which made Fernando Santos on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Renato's through ball was given to Luis Fabiano inside the penalty area.

After Luis Fabiano took the ball very experienced, he dodged David Luiz's marking, found the space and volleyed directly!
Moreto in front of Benfica's goal was very vigilant and decisively struck the ball away with double fists!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Portuguese international Duda crossed the ball from the side and sent it into the penalty area. Frederick Canout beat Louison and directly bombed with a header!
Another wonderful save by Moreto!

Moreto struck with considerable concentration in front of goal, standing directly in the path of Frederic Canoute's header and keeping Frederic Canoute's header tight. In my arms.

"call……"

Fernando Santos on the sidelines looked at Moreto's performance like a god, and after a little relief, he hurriedly urged the players on the sidelines: "Concentrate! Sevilla and their state have entered a good stage." Very fast, must enter the game state faster!"

"understand!"

David Luiz on the field will obviously be very nervous today.

As David Luiz expected, Luis Fabiano is very, very difficult to deal with. This super shooter's ability to get rid of the ball or flash in a small range to move out of the shooting space is far behind David Luiz. It was beyond Louis' comprehension, which made David Lewis quite panicked.

Although Fernando Santos can see this.

But Fernando Santos has nothing to do-David Luiz's age is there. It is already rare for a 19-year-old young man to have such a performance. After all, the central defender position is very experienced. David Luiz At least Luis was not played around by Luis Fabiano in the first few minutes, which is already a very good performance, and Fernando Santos did not dare to be too demanding on the young people of his team.

However, what surprised Fernando Santos was Luisson.

Louison, who is the main central defender of the Brazilian national team, actually struggled against Frederick Canoute?
Whether it is air defense or fighting against the feet, Louison has always been dominated by Frederick Canoute?

This is really an unexpected situation for Fernando Santos.

"Tsk..."

Fernando Santos doesn’t even have any substitute central defenders on the bench. Luisson is already the biggest and most reliable backbone of Benfica’s defense. If even Luisson can’t handle Frederick Canoute , then if you don’t concede a goal in this game, it’s basically a pipe dream.

"I hope, it's just that Luisson entered the game slowly today!"

Fernando Santos whispered secretly: "Otherwise, this game would be very, very troublesome! The team's defense is just like this, and there is no possibility of any adjustments at all!"

however……

What happened next gave Fernando Santos no ordinary headache.

David Luiz has not yet been kicked and collapsed by Luis Fabiano. On the contrary, Luisson, the most reliable backbone, was kicked and collapsed by "African Tower" Frederick Canoute...

In the 8th minute of the game, it was still Renato's midfield organization!

Although he doesn't have any Brazilian national background, Renato's practicality in La Liga is too strong. His kick is very clean, directly passing through the gap between Kaliaka and Carter Solanis , to the top of the front court at the feet of Frederick Canoute.

After Frederick Kanoute received the ball, he suddenly got rid of a small foot!
Louison seemed to be distracted, and was actually shaken by Frederic Canute's turn to get away, even almost!Stupid step, tripping up Frederic Canoute in the penalty area!

"Beep..."

The referee's hasty whistle sounded decisively!
penalty! ! !

penalty! ! !

Louisson's kick did not touch the ball, but directly knocked Frederick Canout to the ground, this ball!Undoubtedly a penalty!

"Oh my God! It's not like that! I just touched the ball!"

Luisson seemed a little broken after being called a penalty kick. He ran up emotionally to argue with the referee, and kept arguing about his foul: "Really! You hit the ball first and then the person! It's definitely not a direct kick. Human foul! There is absolutely no penalty for this ball!"

However, the referee's decision on the ball was quite firm: "I can see it clearly! The ball definitely didn't touch the ball, it was definitely a penalty kick! Alright! You don't have to say anything more. If you continue, I will show you Yellow card!"

"I……"

What else did Luisson want to say? Nuno Gomez, who wore the captain's armband in this game, decisively pulled Luisson aside, preventing Luisson from continuing to argue with the referee—after all, there is no VAR technology yet. Now, since the referee has whistled a penalty kick, it is undoubtedly a penalty kick, and it is impossible to change any penalty because of the foul player's argument.

Even if it's a misjudgment, that's the only way to go.

"Calm down! Louison! You calm down!"

Nuno Gomez told Luisson very seriously: "If the central defender receives a yellow card so early, it is not worth the loss for the team! It is not just a penalty kick! Sevilla may not be able to make a penalty. !Calm down! Just keep your defensive moves clean!"

It has to be said that Nuno Gomez is still the big brother who has the right to speak in the team. Under the intervention of Nuno Gomez, Luizon finally calmed down and faced the fact of the penalty kick.

On the Sevilla side, although it was a penalty kick created by Frederick Canoute, he still did not choose to take the penalty kick himself, but gave the ball to Luis Fabiano.

"Dude, if you score a goal, I'll just do an assist. The Europa League Golden Boot for the new season will be handed over to you."

"Hey! Thank you Canute."

Luis Fabiano was not polite either. He had a good relationship with Frederick Canoute in the team, and he decisively took the ball to the twelve yard point.

In front of Benfica's front goal, Moreto treated Sevilla's penalty cautiously as if he was facing an enemy.

"call!"

Moreto has only a handful of starts this season, and he will be somewhat nervous when he faces a penalty kick from Luis Fabiano, the super scorer in the Europa League and La Liga.

Given the opportunity to score a penalty kick, a super shooter like Luis Fabiano would certainly not miss it.

Luis Fabiano calmly fooled Moreto's point and won the penalty overnight!

1 is better than 0!

At this time, it was only the 10th minute of the opening game, and Sevilla successfully broke the deadlock. The result of the game is very smooth.

"Ugh!!!"

Watching the Sevilla players celebrate such an easy penalty goal, Fernando Santos on the sidelines sighed bitterly—it has to be said that this is the first goal of Benfica in the official game of the new season. As for the ball, I didn't expect it to be a penalty kick.

Fernando Santos understood very well that Sevilla scored a goal so early in this game. When the opponent's midfield configuration and overall playing style in this game were superior to his own team, the next 80 A minute-long game will become very, very difficult.

However, the game is still so long.

Is it possible to just give up like this?

"Come on! Everyone cheer up, come on! It's okay! We still have time to recover the score!"

Fernando Santos could only follow my example as much as possible, raise his spirits, and clap his hands like the boys on the field to encourage them, so that they don't lose confidence because they lost the ball so early.
