Beast King Costa

Chapter 375 The Silent Beginning
"The atmosphere of the derby is really different!"

After entering the infield of the Stadium of Light from the player tunnel, Diego and David Luiz, two young people who participated in the Portuguese national derby for the first time, were all full of emotion.

The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light was simply ignited, and both the fans of the home team and the visiting team were very crazy.

"Benfica!!! Benfica!!! Benfica!!!"

"The Flying Eagles must win!!! This non-derby must win!!!"

"Porto! Must win!!!"

"Nuno!!! Diego!!! Luizon!!!"

"Postiga!!! Quaresma!!! Lucho! Gonzalez!!!"

"Come on! Overturn Porto! We will win the derby! Benfica is invincible!!! All season wins!!!"

"Porto will have the last laugh! Porto will win!!!"

……

David Luiz couldn't help being a little dissatisfied: "Tsk tsk, no one calls my name, it's unscientific! I haven't played very well recently. In the game against Sevilla, I also scored 8.7 Points. The fans' demands are really too high."

"Tsk tsk, are you ashamed to say it's only 8.7 points? I even scored 9.9 points!"

After all, Diego also showed a dissatisfied expression: "It's weird to say, how can you give 9.9 points! I think I should give me a full 10 points! I think my performance at that time deserved 10 points." Full marks, that should be a certainty."

"Oh, fuck me! You're even more shameless than me!"

"No way, my skin has never been as thick as yours."

……

With Diego and David Luiz teasing each other, the tension before the Portuguese national derby was eased a lot.

After all, when David Luiz played for Victoria, he had never played a derby, let alone Diego, Braga only had a team like Braga, and there was no derby at all.

On the other hand, the Porto players have long seen the derby.

After all, the Portuguese Super League has the three giants Porto, Benfica, and Sporting Lisbon. Every season in the Portuguese Super League alone, the three giants have to play 4 Portuguese national derby games. This does not include the Portuguese League Cup. If the Portuguese League Cup meets, it will be 6 games.

For Porto, playing more than four Portuguese national derbies in a season has long been a normal thing.

Porto's main players have basically been played by the Porto team for more than 2 seasons. They are very used to the explosive atmosphere of the away game and the unfriendliness of the away fans.

Just like Porto's winger superstar Quaresma, he even faced the abuse of Benfica fans, smiled and waved towards the fans, as if to say: "Your abuse is the best encouragement to me. Thank you! In this game, we, Porto, will definitely beat your home team, Benfica, to death."

As for whether Quaresma can lead Porto and beat Benfica to death?And it’s still at Benfica’s home stadium, the Holy Land Stadium of Light!We'll have to wait and see!
After completing the opening ceremony and determining the direction of attack and possession of the ball, the game will begin soon!

"Beep..."

With the referee's long whistle sounded!

The game officially begins!
The home team Benfica kicks off!
The "Flying Eagles" Benfica did not play very proactively after the opening game. After all, it is still a matter of midfield control.

After captain Pettit was injured, Carter Solanis, who was the core of the team's midfielder, was not a very creative and spiritual midfielder. Liaka is completely a defensive player, and their combined midfield control can only be said to be average.

On the other hand, Porto, who was a guest, had Raul Meireles and Lucho Gonzalez in their midfield, two midfielders with strong organizational skills. After about 5 minutes of the opening, Porto, who was a guest, took advantage of their strong control ability of the three midfielders to gradually control the scene.

After all, it is a team that plays pass-and-control tactics. Porto's control over the scene must be stronger than Benfica, which has played extremely openly this season.

But Fernando Santos is a coach who doesn't pay attention to the situation and data advantages, so it doesn't matter how Porto plays against his team.

On the sidelines, Fernando Santos in front of the home team's coaching bench leisurely shouted to his players: "Pay attention to your defense! Wings! Especially the wings! Keep an eye on Quaresma!"

In fact, after the start of the game, Quaresma's side was still very quiet. The ball was mainly controlled at the feet of midfielders Lucho Gonzalez and Raul Meireles. The confrontation between the above two sides is also mainly concentrated in the midfield area.

Nelson and Assis, two wingers, have done a good job of marking Alessandro Lopez and Quaresma. Basically, it can be said that they are inseparable. It is also very difficult for Resma's two wings to respond to the pass from the midfielder.

Also because the midfield battle between the two sides was fierce, the scene was still very silent until the 15th minute of the game. Neither Benfica nor Porto organized any effective offensive. Porto seemed to have a greater advantage, but It's basically just a data advantage.

Since the midfielder couldn't steal the ball and couldn't organize any effective attack, Nuno Gomez simply chose to retreat to the midfielder to assist Kaliaka and Carter Solanis to intercept in the midfield. After all, Porto has a three-midfield configuration. Although Paul Assuncao's organizational skills are not strong, after all, as a star of Atletico Madrid's short-lived glory period, Paul Assuncao's one-touch ability is still quite outstanding.

Once the ball is given to Postiga in the frontcourt by Paul Assuncao's midfielder, it will put a lot of pressure on the defense.

After all, Porto's high center forward Postiga and Nuno Gomez are also national team teammates who have worked together for many years in the Portuguese national team. Still very familiar.

Although the defense line has the Brazilian national team's Indian central defenders Luisson and David Luiz, it is relatively safe, but if Postiga seizes the opportunity, Benfica's defense will still be more troublesome.

But fortunately, Porto seems to be more afraid of Benfica getting a defensive counterattack in this game and scoring first, so even if they get out of the way in the midfield, they have room for the ball, but once the two wingers, Alexander Luo Lopez and Quaresma were stared too deadly, and they didn't dare to pass the ball directly to the wing.

As for Lucho Gonzalez, he played very quietly in this game. So far, he has not been seen holding the ball alone and going forward. He mostly cooperates with "bearded" Raul May. Reles controlled the rhythm in the midfield and used his strong midfield control to mobilize Benfica's overall defensive position.

However, Benfica's defense position was still stable, and the solid overall position was not destroyed by the cross-pass dispatches of Lucho Gonzalez and "The Bearded" Raul Meireles.

After Louison’s return in Seville, Spain, the club executives had a deep talk with him. Louison no longer distracted himself from the off-court, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game, but his teammates We don't know what the club executives promised Louison, when will Louison leave?Or let Luizon renew his contract with the club and continue to stay in the Portuguese Super League?
no one knows.

Louison's character is too withdrawn.

After playing in Benfica for four years, Luisson has never been integrated into the atmosphere of the locker room. Except for the head coach or the captain Pettit who can occasionally chat with Luisson, other people, except the players on the court Things, Louisson would not say anything at all.

But in any case, now that Luisson can return his attention to the court, and can continue to support the team's solid defense with David Luiz, then everyone doesn't think too much.

Anyway, iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers.

Even if Louison leaves Benfica for the Premier League giants Chelsea as soon as the winter transfer window opens, and goes to seek refuge with the former Porto meritorious coach Jose Mourinho, then let him go!Soon, there will be newcomers taking Louison's place, and maybe even playing better than Louison.

Just like a famous saying in love: the next one will be better, and the next one will be better.

But how to say, after adjusting his mentality, the "incumbent" Louison is still very stable in the back line, which is of great help to the team. Postiga, the current main center of the Portuguese national team, has nothing at all A way to shake the one-on-one defense of Louisson, the iron guard.

Porto's defense is not as solid as Benfica this season.

Although in future generations, Pepe will become the absolute main central defender of Dream Real Madrid and grow into a world-class central defender. However, at this time, Pepe is also a fledgling young man who has many defensive problems and is easy to be The opponent's experienced striker used various fake moves to get past him, but Pepe's physical fitness is indeed unique in the Portuguese Super League and can hold up big centers from other teams.

As for Bruno Alves, although he has experienced experience and physical fitness can be regarded as a tough presence in the central defender position, but because of a serious injury, the turning speed is already Bruno Alves' flawed, playing Bruno Alves The words behind him could easily make him panic.

In many cases, Porto's defense relies on the control of the midfield, reducing the opponent's holding the ball and facing the defense directly. This gives the illusion that Porto's defense is very stable.

However, Diego has had no chance in the frontcourt in this game.

After all, the midfield control is not enough, the creativity is not enough, there is no way to play the ball to the frontcourt, and Diego can only run dryly in the frontcourt-even, Diego wants to play with Porto's two main players. Centre-back Pepe chatted with Bruno Alves to pass the boring time...
