Beast King Costa

Chapter 392 Refused to Celebrate
In the 55th minute of the game, Calagonis was ready to play.

This is also Benfica's first substitution adjustment in this game, and in the eyes of Fernando Santos, this is a very important substitution adjustment.

After the game entered a dead ball state, Karagonis came on and replaced not Simao, who was facing him, but Mantoras, who started to hit the center more in the second half.

Mantolas was obviously taken aback.

After all, during the intermission, Fernando Santos arranged for him to move more from the right side to the center, and partnered with Diego as a double center forward. Now less than 11 minutes have passed in the second half of the game, and he actually replaced himself so quickly. What's the end?

What exactly is this matter about?
But Mantolas has a characteristic that the coaches like, that is, the attitude of absolute obedience to the coach's instructions.

No matter how puzzled he was, Mantolas hurried to the sidelines and completed the handover with Karagonis.

"Thank you Mantolas."

Fernando Santos naturally understood that Mantolas must have a lot of question marks in his heart at this moment, so after Fernando Santos gave Mantolas a hug, he patiently explained to Mantolas: "In the second half of the game, Coach Jesuardo Ferreira's The center of gravity is in the middle, so! I need to continue to stick to the wing play. Obviously Braga's defensive arrangement on the right is speed-oriented, so I let Karagonis go to the left, so that Simao can return to the right. Use the speed to shove Freyshott."

"I see!"

After Mantolas suddenly realized, he was very grateful to Fernando Santos for explaining himself so patiently. He bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your explanation, Coach Santos!"

"Needless to say thank you, Mantolas. Let the players understand my tactical intentions, that is also one of my responsibilities as a head coach!"

After all, Fernando Santos patted Mantolas's arm with a smile: "Go! Go back to the bench and rest. You played very hard on the right side in this game. Constan Helia took care of you But a lot."

"But I obviously feel that Constant Helia's physical condition is going down..."

Mantolas nodded towards the Braga veteran Constan Helia on the field: "Obviously, after returning from the second half, Constan Helia's reaction speed was not as fast as in the first half. Perhaps, Hesual Coach Do Ferreira will have to make a second substitution soon."

Fernando Santos showed a knowing smile at this time: "Then I have to make good use of Constant Helia's physical problems to make a fuss before Coach Ferreira makes a second substitution adjustment!"

After Calagonis came on the field, he immediately explained Fernando Santos' on-the-spot tactical changes to Diego and Simão.

After hearing this, Simao and Diego suddenly realized.

Immediately afterwards, you can see that Diego began to retreat more outside the Braga penalty area, and Simao returned to the right side that he has appeared more in the past three seasons.

"Um???"

Jesualdo Ferreira's confident smile sitting firmly in the military tent began to become tense with the changes in the positions of the players on the Benfica field.

I saw Jesúardo Ferreira mumbling to himself in a daze: "What the hell is this Fernando Santos planning to do? He actually let Simão go back to the right side, and let Diego retreat? Doesn't Fernando Santos want to win this game?"

Of course, the answer is not.

Fernando Santos made such a tactical change in order to win this direct dialogue with Jesuardo Ferreira!

Simao, who returned to the right, began to aim at the point of Constant Helia, who was defending on the left.

As a midfielder plagued by injuries in his career, Constant Helia also had the opportunity to join the three giants of the Portuguese Super League during the golden period of his career, and even join the mid-range teams of La Liga. I was injured suddenly when the rising momentum was the strongest, and then I missed the higher stage.

Constant Helia is now over three chapters old. Although he is as clever as an old demon with competition experience, he is still no match for the serious decline in physical condition.

Facing the "treasure knife on the side" of the Portuguese Super National Team like Upper Simao, Constan Helia suffered too much in terms of speed and reaction.

Although Braga's left-back Freyshot is a speed-type defensive player, he is also very weak against an experienced international winger like Simao.

The key to changing the situation of this game happened in the 62nd minute of the game!

The protagonist is the "Sword of the Frontier" Simao!
After Simao received Petit's ball from the right, he continued to face Constan Helia!
At this moment, Constant Helia's fuel tank was almost exhausted, and it was blown away by Simao's sudden acceleration!
"Frechette! Hurry up and make up!! Make up!!!"

After Constant Helia was passed by Simao, she hurriedly called out to Freyshott.

Not only Freyshot, but even Braga's three central defenders, Nim, who was on the left side, quickly gave up Diego and made up for the defense on the left side.

However, the filling speed of Freyshott and Nimes was still slow. Simao had already caught the defensive double-teaming of Freyshott and Nimes, and directly sent the ball to the player who was emptied most of the game. Second striker Nuno Gomez!
With Constant Helia often filling in on the left wing, Ricardo Chavez, who came on as substitute for Andres Madrid, followed Braga's three central defenders and kept pestering Diego.

Mayon Ze, who should have been staring at Nuno Gomez, because his mentality was not relaxed, he still did not retreat to the midfield to participate in the defense in the second half of the game. Mayon Ze has been cruising between Luisson and David Louis' side continued to seek opportunities for defensive counterattacks.

After all, Mayon Ze is extremely eager to score goals on Benfica, to prove that it is a very, very wrong choice for Benfica to give up himself and introduce Diego after reaching a verbal agreement with him!

But the facts in front of him prove that Meiyong Ze's choice of eager to prove that he is stronger than Diego is a very wrong choice in itself.

This directly led to the collapse of Jesualdo Ferreira's tactical arrangement for this game!
Since Mayon Ze did not retreat to the midfield to fill in the offensive point of Nuno Gomez, after Nuno Gomez received the ball, there was no one defending him within a radius of five meters around him!
Nuno Gomez followed Diego, who had his back against three defenders, to do a one-two, and then got out of the way to shoot!
Very decisive, Nuno Gomez's curling shot from the Braga box line!

Paul Santos was not lucky this time around!

Nuno Gomez's curling ball hits the dead corner of the far post in the Braga goal!

Absolutely perfect arc! ! !
1 to 0! ! !

As a guest, Benfica took the lead!
"Boss Nuno, what a beautiful goal!"

Diego was quite excited-of course, Diego was not only excited about Nuno Gomez's perfect curve ball breaking the deadlock, but even more excited about Nuno Gomez's kick before kicking the ball. Played a two-for-one cooperation with myself, dodging a larger shooting space, which is equivalent to getting an assist for myself!
Diego's 13th assist in the Portuguese Super League this season!
Although he is already at the top of the assist list, he keeps getting assists and can stabilize Diego's advantage at the top of the assist list. Why not do it?

Besides, just like this two-over-one cooperation with Nuno Gomez, it is itself an assist of "lying and earning"!

Diego really hopes that there will be more opportunities to "make money" in future games.

"Break the deadlock! We finally broke the deadlock! Hahaha!"

After celebrating the goal with a hug from Diego, Nuno Gomez rushed to the dugout to find Fernando Santos, because Nuno Gomez knew how badly this game was for Fernando Santos important.

Being able to win Braga, the dark horse of Jesúardo Ferreira, can be said to allow Fernando Santos to sit firmly in the top seat of the old-school Portuguese football coach!

Fernando Santos was just as excited as Nuno Gomez expected.

The master and apprentice hugged tightly, enjoying the joy of scoring together.

"Thank you Nuno! This ball is so beautiful! It's perfect! This is a goal that no goalkeeper can save!"

"Haha! Coach Santos, we will definitely win this game!"

After celebrating with Fernando Santos, Nuno Gomez did not forget to mobilize his teammates: "For the next game, everyone, cheer up! This game, we want to win! After winning, come back In Lisbon, I invite everyone to eat Brazilian barbecue!"

"it is good!!!!!"

……

After scoring the goal, Nuno Gomez seemed very excited. After all, the game was very difficult, and because of the team's tactical arrangement, Nuno Gomez held the ball very little in the first half of the game at this point. , This shot is also Nuno Gomez's first shot in this game.

however!
Being able to convert the first shot of the game into a goal and help the team break the deadlock, it is definitely an exciting thing for Nuno Gomez!

This proves that he is still the best No. 7 player in Benfica!It is still the goal that Benfica can stand up to help the team out of the predicament when they are in trouble!
"Oh, after all, Benfica broke the goal!"

Jesualdo Ferreira was very emotional, but he had to admit the fact that the thickness of Braga's lineup and the individual strength of each position were far inferior to the veteran giants of Benfica.

To a certain extent, Braga has not suffered a defeat so far this season. Except for the draw with Porto, they have won all other games, and most of the victories have come from Benfica, which has won by more than three goals. There's no shame in it-if Benfica loses to Braga, it will be a big upset.

But judging from the current situation, after breaking the deadlock, Benfica basically has no possibility of losing the game.

Braga itself is a team with a very weak ability to overtake, or it should be said that the mid-range teams that focus on defensive counterattacks all have this attribute-unless a strong team plays defensive counterattack tactics, this has the ability to overtake the score .

Jesualdo Ferreira watched the game with almost half an hour left, and he didn't want the game to end up with 0 points.

and so!
Jesuardo Ferreira was very bold to celebrate the goal in Benfica, and called the Montenegrin Deli Basic on the bench!

Jesuardo Ferreira said to Delibasic very seriously: "Delibasic, next, I need you to partner with Mayon Ze as a double center forward! Let's see if we can try to equalize the score!"

"clear!!!"

Ever since, before the game continued, Braga made the second substitution adjustment of the game.

Konstanheliya, who was exhausted, was replaced, and Delibasic, a stand-up center, came on!
Forwards for midfielders!
Jesualdo Ferreira's substitution and adjustment, even a fool can see that Braga prepares to counterattack in the remaining time to see if there is a chance to equalize the score.

After Braga's substitution adjustment was completed, the referee's long whistle sounded!

The game continues!

Braga kicks off!
After the game continued, Fernando Santos did not stare at the situation anymore, but began to prepare for his second substitution in the game to adjust the quota.

Fernando Santos has his sights set on Rui Costa!

"Ruy! Next, you need your control to help the team. Your condition, is it okay?"

"Haha! Coach Santos, I've been resting for almost a month, so it must be fine!"

Rui Costa said with a smile: "I have been eager to play for a long time! Let me play! As long as our midfielder can control the ball for a longer period of time, there is no way for Braga to counterattack."

"No problem! Rui, then you warm up and prepare, and then replace Nuno!"

……

Just as Fernando Santos was handing over tasks to Rui Costa, Braga's first counterattack after falling behind swept in!

In the 65th minute of the game, Braga's defensive counterattack opportunity!
Since the midfield playmaker Andres Madrid has been replaced, Braga's defensive counterattack has become very simple and crude. The ball is directly passed by the full-back Frechot's big foot and lobbed into the frontcourt. go up!

After Deli Basic came on the field, he directly faced the Brazilian national team Zhengyin central defender Luizon.

After all, Delibasic's height is against Luisson. In terms of the height gap between the two, Delibasic even has a slight advantage. In the competition for the first penalty kick, Delibasic can beat Mayon. Ze do better.

And Mayon Ze turned to David Luiz, a young man.

But in fact, although David Luiz is young, his game experience is very precocious. In the first half of the game, he had already made many key shovels, which resolved various single-handed goals of Mayon Ze. Chance.

So, can Mayon Ze take advantage of David Lewis directly?This is still debatable.

After Deli Basic received the header from Freyshott's long pass, he didn't dare to "show off his sword" in front of Luisson, and he immediately gave the ball to Mei on the other side. Yong Ze.

Meiyong Ze felt that David Luiz, a young man, was not worthy of his serious treatment, so Meiyong Ze did not take the ball with his back very cautiously, but directly faced David Luiz with the ball. Louis!
Something that surprised Mayon Ze happened!

David Luiz also didn't pay attention to Mayon Ze. He went straight up and poked the ball away from Mayon Ze's feet very skillfully.

Even before Mayon Ze could react, David Luiz sent the ball to the area where Carter Solanis in the midfield was located.

"Good shot! David!"

After receiving the ball, Carter Solanis was very decisive, and did not cooperate with Petit any more. He directly transferred it in a large range and gave it to his Greek compatriots on the left.

Calagonis holds the ball against Carlos Fernandez!
Since Mateus had already sprinted forward subconsciously to participate in the team's defensive counterattack when Frechault played the ball, so it is impossible for Mateus to return to the defense at this moment.

Now that there is a one-on-one opportunity to blast Carlos Fernandez, a young rookie, Calagonis will definitely not miss it!

Although he doesn't have much explosive power on the wing, Karagonis wins because of his strong physical confrontation ability. He directly carried Carlos Fernandez to the left wing and cut into the Braga penalty area.

Seeing that Diego had already broken free from two defensive players, and only Braga captain Paul Jorge was around him as a defensive player, Calagonis felt relieved and made an inverted triangle back to the middle!
Diego did not miss such a good opportunity!

A late shot from the middle to score a goal!

2 is better than 0!

In just 5 minutes, Benfica scored for the second time!This basically directly killed the possibility of Braga scoring points in this game.

Diego also completed a goal against his former owner Braga.

A scene that touched the fans of Braga happened. After scoring the goal, Diego was very calm. He did not rush to celebrate after scoring the goal like he did in Braga. He came to the bottom of the north stand with the largest number of fans, pointed to his heart, and then pointed to the fans.

This is self-evident.

"No matter where I am, my heart is still with you fans who have supported me!"

"Thank you, fans who have supported me!"

"thanks!!!"

Although Diego didn't know how many people heard his yelling, before returning to the court, Diego still used his body movements to express his gratitude to the Braga fans.

A ninety-degree bow, the clapping before turning around.

This behavior of refusing to celebrate after rebelling against the old owner made the fans of Braga lose their grievances.

Braga Municipal Stadium, the stage once belonged to Diego, once again gave Diego a warm celebration when he put on the opponent's jersey, even if because of Diego's goal, Braga is destined to lose a single point in this game , but the fans still gave their cheers and applause.

"Diego! Keep going!!!"

"The future is on a bigger stage!!!"

"You are Braga's child and we will always support you!"

"Come on! Diego! You will always be the hero of 'Minho Arsenal'!!!"
