Chapter 387 If you lose, you have to lose wonderfully!

At 20:30 on Wednesday evening, Portuguese time, the 206-2007 Europa League begins!

The game between Benfica and Zurich Grasshoppers officially ignited the war at the Stadium of Light!
In this game, Fernando Santos formed a semi-main lineup and made considerable rotation adjustments.

Goalkeeper: Quim.

Defenders: Leonardo Bastos, Luizon, Paulo Jorge, Nelson.

Midfielders: João Cumbra, Beto, Cagliaka.

Forwards: Manu, Diego, Fabrizio Milico.

Fernando Santos maintained a main core central axis-Luisson in the backcourt, Beto in the midfielder, Diego in the frontcourt!
This is also what Fernando Santos is more keen on when making lineup rotations, using a core central axis to lead the rotation players to play games, so as to ensure that none of the three lines will collapse due to a large rotation.

Later generations of the Chinese Super League used to like to do this when introducing foreign aid-introducing high-level foreign aid at three positions on the central axis, and then adding a generalist to supplement them.

But after Guangzhou Evergrande's high-level striker trident of "Cleo, Conca, and Muric" in the first AFC Champions League amazed Asian football, the Chinese Super League teams began to follow Guangzhou Evergrande's example. This extreme signing method used all the foreign aid places on the front line.

To some extent, this caused local forwards to lose their chances in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, in the forward position, especially the most important arrow position, the growth of local forwards has basically stagnated, and even some players who have shown good center forward potential, In order to make way for high-level foreign players, they can only pull sideways, or even switch to other positions.

On the Grasshopper side in Zurich, Krasimir Balakov also formed a semi-main lineup.

Although Krasimir Balakov brought all the main players to Lisbon, after arriving in Lisbon, the Zurich Grasshopper team did not immediately enter into intense preparations, but in Krasimir Balakov Rakoff, a young marshal who had lived in Lisbon for more than four years, served as a tour guide. The whole team played wildly in Lisbon for a whole day, visited everywhere, ate and drank everywhere, and even went to a nightclub street...

This shocked the sports reporters in Lisbon.

Krasimir Balakov must be too relieved...

In fact, Krasimir Balakov just took the Grasshoppers of Zurich to do some simple adaptive training at the Stadium of Light the night before the game, and then let the players go back to the hotel to rest, while he himself I ran to the office building of Sporting Lisbon to catch up with the colleagues I used to work with.

It seems... Krasimir Balakov basically gave up on this game, and felt that there was no need to waste any time preparing for the game?
In this game, Krasimir Balakov's starting lineup is also very confusing.

Goalkeeper: Fabio Cortotti
Defenders: Denicola, Scott Sutter, Kevoser, Williton.

Midfielders: Kim Judge, Diego Leon, Antonio dos Santos, Roberto Pinto, Saratic.

Forward: Sreto Risdit.

If it is an attitude of giving up the game, then Krasimir Balakov should not start the three main midfielders Diego Leon, Antonio dos Santos, and Sreto Risdit Bar?The defense has only one main player, Scott Sutter...

What exactly is this playing on?

Before the game, no one expressed that they could understand what Krasimir Balakov's intentions were for this game.

But after the competition started, the world finally understood and was shocked again!
Krasimir Balakov actually!
It is to play against Benfica!And it's still at Benfica's home court, the Stadium of Light is playing against Benfica!
"This……"

Watching the first minute of the game, Fernando Santos couldn't believe himself after the German-Serbian dual-nationality striker and the main center of Zurich Grasshoppers this season, Sreto Ristedt, completed the first shot of the game. What I saw in front of my eyes - Krasimir Balakov didn't even think about defending, and he directly pressed up to attack from the beginning of the game!

Obviously, Grasshopper Zurich knows that this game will definitely be defeated when it comes to the Stadium of Light.

Since there must be no miracle if you stick to it, it would be better to die vigorously!
Be direct!

Come up and attack!Let's see if other miracles can appear.

If the Benfica players underestimate the enemy, then Zurich Grasshopper's onslaught after the opening is likely to work. Once they can score a goal at the beginning, then Benfica will become very chaotic. At that time, they really want to play in the light If the stadium creates miracles, then it is very possible!

If the attack after the opening has no effect, then there is no problem.

Anyway, Zurich Grasshopper's mentality in this game is basically to give up [-]% of the time. If they fail to attack, they will be beaten to death!

But no matter how many goals Benfica has beaten, the mentality of the Zurich Grasshopper team is very determined: there is no point in defending!If you want to lose, you must lose brilliantly and lose beautifully!Export the Spartan spirit of Swiss football!

indeed!

The home team, Benfica, was quite confused. They never thought that Grasshopper Zurich would be so unrestrained. They came up with a wave of onslaught, not at all like giving up the game, which made Benfica's midfield chaotic for a while.

In this game, Benfica did not have a dual-core midfielder, only Beto, the regular main force, with João Kumbra, an unreusable rookie, and defensive midfielder Kaliaka.In terms of control, it is definitely far inferior to Beto's partner with Carter Solanis.

Grasshopper Zurich took advantage of the chaos in Benfica's midfield and completed another shot that was very close to breaking the goal in the 3rd minute of the game!
It was still Sreto Risdit, the big center, with a burst shot that hit the lintel directly!

This scared Quim in front of the Benfica goal into a cold sweat.

"That's right! That's it! Ristedt! Great kick! Beautiful! I love your style! Awesome! Woohoo!!!"

On the sidelines, Krasimir Balakov was thrilled.

The coaching style of the Bulgarian young coach is quite passionate, which can infect the players on the field to play harder and harder.

only……

Bulgarian marshal Krasimir Balakov's passionate and contagious coaching style may be an incentive if the two sides are facing teams with little difference in strength, which can stimulate the morale of the players by 120%. desire to fight.But the strength of Zurich Grasshopper and Benfica is too unequal, and the amazing attack of Zurich Grasshopper only lasted about 8 minutes.

Benfica only needs to seize a chance to defend and counterattack, and they can collapse the Zurich Grasshopper's full-substitute defense.

In the 9th minute of the game, Paul Jorge successfully defended one-on-one in the backcourt. After stealing the ball from Diego Leon, he directly passed the ball to Fabrizi on the right side of the frontcourt. O Milico's feet.

Facing the group of backup defenders like Grasshoppers, Fabrizio Milico was almost unblocked, and he could directly hold the ball to the frontcourt!

The next thing was very simple. When Fabrizio Milico hit the ribs of Zurich Grasshopper's penalty area, Diego had already interspersed between the two central defenders of Zurich Grasshopper. Fabrizio · Milico only needs to kick the ball out to the center, and then Diego directly grabs the point in the middle to complete the goal!

1 is better than 0!

Benfica's first shot in this game completed the goal!

"Wow! Milico! Great pass!"

"Diego, you also grab a spot and grab it beautifully!"

Even as Diego and Fabrizio Milico celebrated their goal, to their jaws-dropping surprise, the defenders at Zurich's Grasshopper pitch were too.

"Perfect side-to-center attack! Fantastic!"

"It really deserves to be the top eight team in the Champions League last season. Benfica's offense is really unique!"

"Wow! I really hope to play for such a strong team! After I go back, I will also ask my agent if there is a chance to play for the Portuguese Super League giants. I can play for the B team."

"Me too! If you have a chance, take me! I really want to play football with Nuno Gomez!"

……

"Uh……"

Diego suddenly forgot how to celebrate. The Zurich Grasshopper players didn't look like they were here to play football. They were here... to chase stars? ? ?

This is so cool, too!
Even, when Diego returned to the center circle to continue the game, there were Grasshopper players waving to Diego, with smiles on their faces that seemed to say: This goal just now was really good.

"It's amazing! This team is really amazing!"

Diego couldn't help but shook his head blankly, but immediately, Diego put his attention back into the game.

In the 11th minute, the game continued!
Grasshopper Zurich kicks off!
After the game continued, under the passionate command of the Bulgarian marshal Krasimir Balakov, the players of Grasshopper Zurich continued to attack with all their members, even the defense line was all pressed up, and there was no defense at all. The meaning of striving to concede fewer goals.

"Could it be that Krasimir Balakov's idea in this game is to score an away goal???"

In front of the coaching bench of the home team, Fernando Santos said to himself with a confused face: "Is the group's away goal useful? It seems! It's useless!"

but!

Zurich Grasshoppers are indeed attacking passionately. Even though their offensive efficiency is so low that even the Portuguese Super League relegation team's offensive organization is smoother than them, they are still tirelessly looking for opportunities to score goals, especially in the frontcourt. Torrey Risdit, a Serbian and German dual nationality center, has a very strong desire to perform. Whether it is holding the ball with his back or shooting from a long distance, he is doing his best to display all his talents.

Just ...

Except for the shot from the lintel shortly after the opening, Storey Risdett's other performances can be said to be disaster-level.

I don't know, will the teams that were originally interested in Storey Risdit retreat after seeing so many disaster-level performances?
In the 16th minute of the game, Benfica's defensive counterattack swept again!

This time it was a steal from the wing. Nelson intercepted Kim Jaggie's ball-handling breakthrough from the wing. Although Kim Jaggie's speed is very fast, he really only has speed. The combination of man and ball is simply amazing Even more amateur than an amateur player... Nelson only needs to stretch out his foot, and he doesn't even need to get stuck, and he can directly snatch the ball from Kim Judge's feet.

After the steal, Nelson didn't choose to split the ball, but took the ball and charged up the frontcourt by himself!

Seeing that Nelson was about to do it alone with the ball, Fabrizio Milico, who was sitting on the right side, gave way knowingly. He directly recovered his body to the center, and completely gave way to his right side, leaving Nelson alone Go to the end of the assault with the ball.

Nelson did not disappoint his teammates. Nelson himself has a very fast assault speed. When the entire right side of the frontcourt is empty, Nelson can bring the ball up just like on the training ground. To the penalty area of ​​Zurich Grasshopper.

The next thing is very simple.

Nelson aimed at the area above Diego's head and made a direct high pass!

Diego jumped high, overwhelmed the two central defenders of Grasshopper Zurich, and scored with a direct header bombing!

2 is better than 0!

A brace!

Diego's 14th goal in the Europa League this season!
"Wow! Beautiful goal!"

After watching Diego score his team's second goal, Krasimir Balakov himself smiled and clapped his hands: "Beautiful header! What a genius!" Center forward!"

Seeing Fernando Santos throw a look of astonishment towards himself, Krasimir Balakov even shouted to Fernando Santos in broken Portuguese: "Coach Santos, your players are so good! Great! Yes! The No. 9 player who scored the goal will definitely be the best big man in Europe in the future!"

"Thank you!"

Although Fernando Santos could understand Krasimir Balakov's optimism, he still gave a thumbs up in the direction of Krasimir Balakov very friendly.

After Benfica scored the second goal of the game, Zurich Grasshopper's fearless "suicide attack" finally eased down.

After all, 2 goals have already been ravaged by the opponent, and it is a big center who has continuously overwhelmed his two central defenders and scored 2 goals. This is quite demoralizing.

The offensive momentum of Grasshopper Zurich has eased. With the strength of Grasshopper Zurich, it is certainly impossible for them to control the ball in the midfield.

Naturally, the situation on the field began to fall to Benfica's side.

Benfica controlled the ball more at their feet. The three midfielders, led by Beto in the middle, began to control the ball more with their feet, slowly pushing the entire formation up.

In the 25th minute of the game, this time it was Manu's breakthrough from the left!

Manu made a quick attack from the left, using his strongest speed to overwhelm the defenders, and then passed the ball blindly into the penalty area!

Fortunately, although Diego couldn't understand why Manu sent out such a line, Diego still caught the first landing point, and rushed to complete the goal in the first place!

3 is better than 0!

Diego, hat trick!
The 15th goal of the Europa League this season!
As a result, Diego will temporarily surpass the second-placed Diego Forlan in the Europa League scorer list by 3 goals!Exactly 5 goals ahead of Roberto Soldado, who is third in the scorer list!
"call……"

After Diego performed a hat-trick, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—what the hell!Finally 15 goals!This time, the gap between the top scorer and the second place can be temporarily opened, and the pressure will be much less.However, if he wants to successfully complete the UEFA Europa League task assigned by the Real Ball King system, Diego still has to spare no effort to score goals in this game and the following games. At least 5 more goals.

With less than one-third of the game over and the score already over, there is no suspense in this game.

After the score reached 3 to 0, Benfica began to slow down the offensive momentum, more to control the rhythm. After all, Zurich Grasshopper's formation is to give up the game, and there is no need to kill this very friendly team Beat it?

Therefore, the fourth goal of the game was not born until the 40th minute of the game.

But this goal was not scored by Diego.

In the 39th minute of the game, Fabrizio Milico sent a pass to Diego outside the penalty area. When Diego took the ball with his back, he was tripped by the opponent's defensive player and tripped to the ground. Benfica won a Excellent free kick opportunity in the frontcourt!
Beto took a free kick and hit the wall!

Surprisingly, Beto's direct free kick hit Kalyaka's thigh evenly and refracted into the net!
Although it was Beto's shot, but because it was refracted by Kaliaka's thigh, the ball was counted to Kaliaka's account, which can be described as "the iron tree blossoms"!
With a score of 4 to 0, all members of Benfica happily entered the locker room.

After the 15-minute intermission, when he returned to the court, Fernando Santos made a relatively large adjustment to the lineup.

Mantolas came on and replaced Diego who scored a hat-trick!
Karagonis came on the field and replaced Manu who played in a cloud!

Simao was injured during this period, and Fabrizio Milico was basically at full capacity. He should have had a rest, but considering that Simao will officially return to the starting lineup in the next round, Fabrizio Milico There are much fewer opportunities to play, so Fernando Santos did not replace Fabrizio Milico and gave him a chance to play the whole game.

The emperor pays off!
In the 69th minute of the game, Calagonis passed the ball to Mantolas, who was holding the ball behind his back in the penalty area. Mantolas did not take credit, and chose to hit Fabrizio Milico, who was recovered from the right side to the center!
Fabrizio Milico scored with a low shot!

5 is better than 0!

This score also became the final score of the game!
Although there were no accidents in the ending, Grasshopper Zurich faced the Champions League-level Benfica, and it was as vulnerable as a pebble hitting a rock.Unfortunately, Krasimir Balakov's team failed to score at the Stadium of Light in this game.

After the game, Krasimir Balakov expressed his regret at the press conference.

"To be honest, we should have known the result of this game a long time ago. After all, Benfica is the best team in European football this season."

After all, Krasimir Balakov said with emotion: "When I was young, I was still a player of Sporting Lisbon, and I scored a very beautiful direct free kick at the Stadium of Light-that was a very beautiful direct free kick in my career. The most beautiful direct free kick in my career. I also hope that my players can score goals at the Stadium of Light, but unfortunately, we were conceded by the opponent. I sincerely wish the mighty Benfica to win the Europa League this season!"
