Chapter 373
2006-2007赛季葡超第8轮的比赛，于葡萄牙时间10月27号正式开打！
The biggest focus of this round is naturally another Portuguese national derby match between Benfica and Porto at home!

Of course, such a focus battle must be arranged on the weekend.

On Friday, Jose Alvalade's home draw against Sporting Lisbon in Porto in the last round played away against this season's newly promoted polo team Birama.

This game gave Paul Bento a big blow.

As a newly promoted polo team, Sporting Lisbon will naturally not take them seriously. However, the arrogant Sporting Lisbon seems to have overlooked one of the characteristics of the newly promoted polo team - dragons at home and worms away!

Since it is the home game of Birama, Birama, who is striving to complete relegation in the Portuguese Super League this season, must hope to be able to grab points from Sporting Lisbon.

In this game, Paul Bento made a relatively large personnel rotation because of the weak opponent.

The core players, including Lidson, Nani, and Moutinho, have not even entered the 18-man squad. The assistant coach has brought the core players of the team, and some of them have not entered the 18-man squad for this game. The regular main players are going to foreign countries to prepare for the UEFA Champions League match in the middle of next week.

In this game, Paulo Bento's team can be called the main force, including Cousteau Diaw in the midfield and Yannick Jallow on the right. As for the other positions, they are basically the first team of Sporting Lisbon. marginal players, or players temporarily drawn from the U19 youth team.

As for the players of Sporting Lisbon's B team, there is no other way - the game between the first team and the B team just happened to conflict with each other. The coaching staff of the Sporting Lisbon B team will not agree either.

Facts have proved that Sporting Lisbon's lineup, which can basically be called an all-substitute lineup, is completely uncompetitive in the Portuguese Super League. Paulo Bento obviously overestimated the fringe players of his first team and the quality of the U19 youth training team...

Just 10 minutes into the game, Sporting Lisbon, who was second in the league last season, conceded two goals first...

In the 5th minute of the game, Birama took a corner kick, and Cameroon's tall central defender Bubba Yohana jumped high in the penalty area and scored a header to break the deadlock!

In the 10th minute of the game, it was still Birama's corner kick, and Cameroon's tall central defender Bubba Yohana jumped high in the penalty area, basically in the same position, and scored twice!

2 to 0! ! !

Who would have imagined that Sporting Lisbon, who ranked second in the league last season, actually scored two goals early in the game against the newly promoted Birama?

Seeing that the team was already behind by two goals, Sporting Lisbon head coach Paulo Bento looked quite anxious in front of the visiting coach's bench.

however……

What else can we do?
As for the lineup that Sporting Lisbon is going to play against Birama today, it is useless for Paul Bento to be in a hurry.

Even after falling behind by two goals, Sporting Lisbon tried their best to launch a counterattack to bring the score back, but with the weak personal ability and messy tactical coordination of the young Sporting Lisbon players, there was no way to launch a decent counterattack at all.Even, almost in the 23rd minute, Bilama seized the opportunity of a defensive counterattack and scored another goal...

Ok!

The young Yannick Jallow was not sorry for Paul Bento's appreciation of him. In the 38th minute of the game, Yannick Jallow launched a counterattack from the wing, went from the midfield to the frontcourt, and even calmly completed the inside on the wing. Cut the attack, and scored Sporting Lisbon's first goal of the game with a curved ball!
1 is better than 2!

Although the score is still behind, how to say, the reduction from 2 goals behind to 1 goal is still helpful to the mentality of the Sporting Lisbon team.

With the score of 1 to 2 in the first half of the game, Paul Bento with a depressed face took Sporting Lisbon back to the locker room to make adjustments. Obviously, Paul Bento's midfielder will definitely face his defensive players Turning on the "hair dryer mode" and being hit by a central defender with two headers in a row is really unreasonable!
however……

Paul Bento's "hair dryer mode" during the intermission obviously did not have much effect on the defensive players. Not long after returning from the second half, Sporting Lisbon conceded the ball again...

In the 51st minute of the game, two corner kicks and two headers from Bubba Yohana...

3 is better than 1!

Birama's tall Cameroonian central defender Bubba Yohan bombed with a header and completed a hat-trick that completely surprised Birama fans!
In the following time, Sporting Lisbon was still making futile counterattacks, but it did not pose any threat to Birama's defense.

Young player Yannick Jallow on the right side of the frontcourt is still active, but the one-stop goal that relied entirely on personal ability in the first half of the game was more luck.

When the other teammates in the frontcourt couldn't keep up with Yannick Jallow's rhythm at all, and couldn't cooperate with Yannick Jallow, Yannick Jallow was also quite powerless, and he went forward with the ball alone. On the field, he fell into the encirclement of three or four opponents, and was finally intercepted so that no one could stand still.

In the end, Paulo Bento paid the price for taking his opponent so lightly.

Lost 1-3 away!

Losing is one thing, such a loss is really hard for Sporting Lisbon fans to accept.

After all, the current schedule is not too rushed. It is entirely possible for the main players to fly to foreign countries to prepare for the Champions League after playing the away game of Villama. There is no need for such a method of giving points.

After the game that day, the Portuguese fans overwhelmingly sang about Paul Bento's prospects in Sporting Lisbon. They all agreed that Paul Bento would be fired without waiting for the end of the season. It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting farther and farther away from the Portuguese Super League championship this season.

unless!

Paul Bento can achieve brilliant results in the Champions League this season!

Compared with the embarrassing situation of former apprentice Paulo Bento, "Minho Arsenal" Braga coach Jesúardo Ferreira has been very energetic recently.

Not only because the team has won five consecutive victories after the comeback of the all-round center Meiyong Ze, but also because Braga has gradually established the status of the "fourth giant" in the Portuguese Super League in recent years. Porto fans and officials are all eyes on Jesualdo Ferreira's future.

Once the results of the Dutch coach Co Adrianse leading the team are too poor, the senior management of Porto will take vigorous actions to dismiss Co Adrianse from get out of class, and poach a coach with a high reputation in Portuguese football from Braga Jesualdo Ferreira, to lead Porto to continue in the Portuguese Super League and the Champions League.

That's right...

Porto is now left fighting on two fronts.

The biggest upset that broke out in the first round of the Portuguese League Cup was that Porto's all U19 youth team went out and lost directly in the first round...

Fortunately, the senior management of the Porto club doesn't have much idea about this season's Portuguese League Cup. The main goal is to hope that Ko Adrianse can lead the team to defend the Portuguese Super League, or to be able to stage again in the Champions League. Sai Mourinho-style dark horse miracle.

however.

Jose Mourinho is one.

How can Co Adrianse be compared to Jose Mourinho?
Speaking of Jesualdo Ferreira, the recently high-spirited old coach, in this game, Jesualdo Ferreira took Braga and sat at the Braga Municipal Stadium to play against the giants of Madeira. The team, Maritimo, who also has a dark horse trend this season!
however……

When I thought this game would be Braga's longest three-tier 6-game winning streak this season, Jesúardo Ferreira's team unexpectedly lost the chain!

Only 12 minutes into the game, Braga received a red card!

Mauricio Fernandez, a young central defender transferred from Fluminense, a strong team in Brazil's first division, in the offseason, when he was defending in the penalty area, threw an elbow to the face of a Maritimo player. , Maritimo's Gregory's eyebrows were knocked open, and blood flowed all over his face!

The referee decisively whistled for a foul!

Red dot set! ! !

Jesúardo Ferreira on the sidelines was stunned on the spot. He couldn't imagine that Mauricio Fernandez, who is usually in the central defender position, made such a low-level mistake and elbowed his opponent in the penalty area... …

In itself, in the first 10 minutes, Braga's situation was not very good. The experienced Maritimo kept overwhelming Braga, with a ball possession rate of 60% to 40% and a 4 to 1 shot count. , far above Braga, and now... After being red-dotted, Braga can basically be sentenced to death in advance in this game.

"Hey!"

Seeing this situation, Jesualdo Ferreira couldn't help but shake his head like a rattle.

But what else?
What else could Jesúardo Ferreira do but submit to his fate?

After the emergency treatment by the team doctor, Gregory took the initiative to ask himself to take a penalty kick.

The injured Gregory did not disappoint Maritimo's teammates. He took the penalty kick and successfully tricked Paul Santos into the net!
1 is better than 0!

Maritimo, who was a guest, scored a penalty with one more player!This means that it is only a matter of time before they score 3 points at the Braga Municipal Stadium.

The subsequent progress of the game was basically one-sided.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Mbesuma took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a header, extending the score to 2-0!

Back in the second half of the game, in the 56th minute, Marcinho scored with a long shot, and the score continued to expand to 3-0!

The most dramatic scene appeared in the 65th minute of the game. Schweidler, who had been in a scoring drought recently, seized the opportunity of anti-offside and scored his first goal in the last 6 games!
After scoring the goal, Schwiedler was so happy, he was happier than marrying a wife. He ran to the corner flag, took off his shirt, and celebrated the 4-0 score with the visiting fans.

however!
Schweidler had already forgotten that in the first half of the game, he received a yellow card when he chased back, so... the referee also gave him a yellow card for excessive celebration in accordance with the rules. Two yellows turned into one red, and he was directly punished. end.

At that time, Schweidler was stunned on the spot.

He seemed to have just remembered that he had already received a yellow card in the first half of the game.

However, this kind of mistake is his own, no matter how helpless Schweidler is, he has to leave the court obediently and walk towards the player tunnel.

Although the balance of numbers has been restored on the scene, Maritimo no longer has the advantage in numbers, but the score has been extended to 4-0 by Maritimo. Braga wants to counterattack frantically and strive for the possibility of scoring points There is basically no sex - there are less than 25 minutes left in the game. Even if Jesualdo Ferreira has the ability to bring the dead back to life, he will not be able to save his Braga team.

In the end, in the 87th minute of the game, Wende cut from the wing into the Maritimo penalty area and was brought down. The referee gave Braga a face-saving penalty.

Mayon Ze made it happen overnight!

Chased the score to 1 to 4!

Although they were not able to score at home at the Braga Municipal Stadium, they would not be blocked by Maritimo. Although the Braga fans were not satisfied with this result, they could only accept it.

After all, the team had won 6 consecutive victories before, and it suddenly failed.

No matter how strong a team is, there will be times when the momentum drops.

Therefore, the Braga fans forgave the stupid Mauricio Fernandez, and hoped that "Arsenal Minho" could perform well in the Europa League match in the middle of next week after the game ——The fans of Braga are still looking forward to it. Jesualdo Ferreira can lead Braga to a good result in the Europa League.

However, at the post-match press conference, Braga's fans were very uneasy by the answers given by the Godfather of "Minho Arsenal" Braga after being questioned by the harsh "Portuguese Football News" reporter.

"Coach Ferreira, it is said that the defending champion Porto has a very high interest in you. This season Coach Adrianse's results with Porto are not ideal. May I ask if the top management of the Porto club will start substantive negotiations with you? , would you consider joining Porto, the dominant team in the league?"

"This question..."

Jesualdo Ferreira was silent for a while, then he nodded slightly and said: "Maybe. Porto is the most successful team in the Portuguese Super League in the 21st century, absolutely none of them! After all, Porto created for the Portuguese Super League This is a new chapter in history. Under the leadership of coach Jose Mourinho, Porto won the first Champions League trophy in the Portuguese Super League. This is a very proud achievement. I also hope to challenge Jose’s results ——Leading the team to win the Champions League, I believe, is the hottest dream in every coach's heart."

Of course, veteran Jesualdo Ferreira did not forget to add: "It's just! This requires serious discussions between Porto and Braga's senior management. If Braga determines that they need me to continue to lead the team , I will definitely choose to stay, after all, I have coached in Braga for many years, everything is familiar, and I am very happy working with the senior management of Braga."

Seeing Jesúardo Ferreira's positive statement, the reporters of "Portuguese Football News" continued to ask more and more questions.

"Then, if Ferreira coaches you to switch to Porto, will you give priority to your old subordinates? For example, Mayon Ze and Mateus, who have played very well in Braga this season?"

"Haha! It is indeed easier to work with familiar players. But if I stop being the head coach of Braga one day, I will not consider poaching Braga players. They are the 'Minho Arsenal'. 'Important members of the revival, I shouldn't have taken them away...'"

However, Jesúardo Ferreira suddenly showed a weird smile: "But the players who have left Braga, then you can dig. For example, last season I got along very well with Diego, very, very In my opinion, Diego can work very smoothly with me. He can also become the core of any team's revival and impact on the Champions League throne."

"Diego Costa from Benfica!"

"That's right, it's the young Diego."

"Diego has become the leader in assists in the Portuguese Super League and the top scorer in the Europa League this season. What is the situation?"

"Haha! I think you should ask coach Fernando Santos this question, not me."

"Then are you confident that you can bring Diego back to your command?"

"You have to ask Diego about this question. Ask him if he is willing to continue working with me?"

……

The interview with Jesúardo Ferreira by "Portuguese Football News" quickly spread to the ears of Diego in Lisbon.

For a while, Diego also became the focus of Benfica teammates.

Like David Luiz, Diego’s roommate, he asked Diego very curiously: “According to the momentum of coach Ke Adrianse, it is very likely that this season will not be able to last. When you go to the window, follow coach Jesualdo Ferreira to play against Porto, right?"

"Stop it!"

Diego shook his head like a rattle: "I won't think about these questions for now, don't ask me!"

however……

When Diego returned to the training ground, other teammates, especially Beto, Assis, Nelson, Moreto and other members of the "Squad until dawn" decisively surrounded Diego and asked questions What's going on.

"Whoa! Diego, are you really going to play against Porto with Jesualdo Ferreira?"

"Then we have to be rivals in the second half of the season!?"

"Your sister! We don't allow you to go to Porto! How can I prevent you!"

"Yes! Don't go! You have to stay, kid! Otherwise, going out at night, without you, the 'King of Dance', is no fun at all!"

……

Under questioning from his teammates, Diego made a serious statement.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

Diego was very serious, and said very seriously: "I will definitely stay in Lisbon and not run to Porto! At least, this season, we will definitely fight side by side together!"

Of course……

After saying these words, Diego felt a little guilty.

Because, Jesualdo Ferreira has become Jorge Mendes' man. Once Jesualdo Ferreira passes Porto, God knows that Jorge Mendes, the football giant Crocodile, will you let yourself pass the game together and help Porto rebuild its glory?
