Beast King Costa

Chapter 424 Attack of the Andalusian Lion

In order to prepare for the key battle of the Europa League with Benfica in advance.

On Sunday night, the Sevilla team flew directly to Lisbon from the Andalusia region and stayed in the center of Lisbon.

The executives of the Sevilla club are also quite interesting. They deliberately contacted Sporting Lisbon, another giant in Lisbon, in advance, and borrowed the training ground of Sporting Lisbon for preparation.

Just now in the Lisbon Portuguese National Derby, they lost 0 to 3 to the top management of Sporting Lisbon of Benfica. Of course, they would like to see Benfica suffer in the Europa League. Therefore, it is very refreshing to open the training ground in the city center to Sevilla used it, and even said very generously: "If you want to do tactical drills, you can go directly to the Jose Alvalade Stadium for training! At that time, the staff will be arranged to close the field, and those who don't care Personnel approached to spy on your training sessions."

In this regard, Juand Ramos naturally readily borrowed Sporting Lisbon's home stadium, the Jose Alvalade Stadium, for training.

After all, Sporting Lisbon's training ground is not closed, even if it is closed, it will be difficult to prevent Benfica's coaches or scouts from peeking at Sevilla's training sessions from the sidelines.It is more convenient for closed training at the Jose Alvalade Stadium. You only need to let the staff clear the field, and then guard the two gates to prevent unnecessary people from entering the field.

At present, Seville can be described as a strong army.

Although the third-line battle is approaching the middle of the season, Sevilla has not suffered any injuries. The main players of the three lines have maintained a very good physical condition except for a little fatigue.

Moreover, Sevilla played against Levante at their home stadium Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on the weekend, but only used a half main lineup, including Frederick Canoute, Duda and other main players. on the bench.

It can be said that Juande Ramos has been waiting for this strong dialogue with Benfica for a long time. Before the shameful 2-goal lead was reversed by 4 goals, he made a lot of preparations in advance.

On the Benfica side, because the Lisbon national derby on the weekend will be more important, Rui Costa did not hide the main players at all, but all the main players came out, head-to-head with Sporting Lisbon to win this stable league The tough battle for the top spot.

As far as the player lineup is concerned, Beto's current recovery is not ideal. His hamstring strain has been repeated, so this game is directly exempt from the game.

Calagonis was overdrawn in the last game. After all, he played too badly in the first half because he was not familiar with the inside attack. The diehard Sporting Lisbon fans at Jose Alvalade Stadium Booing wildly, in order to make up for his poor state, Calagonis often runs around and wastes energy.

So in the hard battle against Sevilla in the middle of the week, Calagonis did not enter Rui Costa's ideal starting list-of course!It depends on how well Calagonis' physical fitness recovers. After all, Gustavo Manduka has not returned to the team. Benfica currently has only the unusable teenager Manu on the left side besides Calagonis. .

But fortunately, the iron triangle of the midfielder Pettit, Carter Solanis, and Nuno Gomez are all in very good physical condition, and Diego is in a state that can no longer explode, so Rui Costa's formation layout is very good. In terms of formation, there are still more options.

Even if it doesn't work!
Narui Costa can also put himself on the field to suppress the formation and the rhythm of the game!
With Rui Costa's rich experience in European wars, once he plays, what else can't control the rhythm of the game?The midfield combination of Renato and Enzo Maresca, even if Rui Costa played two-on-one, it is impossible for them to beat Rui Costa in about 30 minutes !
Unless, Rui Costa played too early and his physical fitness soon reached the bottleneck, he might be lost by Renato and Enzo Maresca.

But now he is a veritable head coach of Benfica. Rui Costa still doesn't want to go into battle unless he has to. After all, if he, the powerful head coach, is on the field, there will be no one on the sidelines. That would do more harm than good to the team!

Rui Costa is leading the team to prepare nervously at the Benfica training base, and the other end is constantly sending the team's team affairs and scouts to spy on Sevilla's military situation.

Including the itinerary, training time, and even the diet structure of the Sevilla players in Lisbon... Except that there is no way to break through the blocking of the Sporting Lisbon staff, to witness the Sevilla players in the Jose Alvalade Stadium Outside of the training session, Rui Costa will spare no effort to collect the information and materials he can investigate.

Although many things in it are useless information, as long as one or two useful information can be found in it, then!Two days of hard work by Benfica's staff has become very valuable.

however……

What makes Rui Costa regret is that the players of Sevilla are very well-behaved in Lisbon. Ta couldn't believe it. After all, there are a lot of Brazilian players in the Sevilla team, and Brazilian players... when they come to the away game, they like to go out to play and experience the nightlife in different places.

As far as Rui Costa knows, the core trio of Seville's "Brazilian Gang" Renato, Daniel Alves, and Luis Fabiano are old sticks in nightclubs. Nightclubs, whether they are high-end or underground, have seen them take taxis.

He even fights with other men for the Persian cat...

It's almost become the "club boy band" of Andalusia.

result!

The hotel where Seville is staying in Lisbon is only ten minutes away from the nightclub street, but the core trio of the "Brazil Gang" didn't go out?
However, Spanish high forward Blanco Kepa, who was on Juande Ramos's bench, sneaked out in the middle of the night for a late-night snack and ate high-calorie Turkish barbecue. This made Rui Costa dumbfounded - it seems , there is definitely a reason why Blanco Kepa's figure is getting out of shape. It's no wonder that his scoring efficiency is not low, but he has never been able to grab the starting position. It seems that Juande Ramos should also know that his substitute is a surprise player. Daily late night snack party.

Not only that, the staff of Benfica spied that after Sevilla's head coach Juande Ramos came to Lisbon, he actually met with Jorge Mendes, and then followed Jorge Mendes met Sporting Lisbon president Bruno de Carvalho at the revolving café on the top floor of the Sofia hotel.

The two sides talked for a full hour.

As for what important things were specifically discussed, the Benfica staff did not spy on it.

"It is estimated that Sporting Lisbon wants Jorge Mendes to test Juand Ramos' interest in switching to Sporting Lisbon, right?"

Rui Costa simply guessed the reason, but he didn't delve into it. The reason is very simple-since he led Sevilla to win the Europa League last season, Juande Ramos has become a member of the top five leagues. One of the hottest coaches, many clubs with low performance want to poach Juande Ramos to coach, and offer three times the annual salary of Sevilla.

Although Juande Ramos has not left his post yet, it is clear that even if Juande Ramos leaves his post, it is impossible to go to the Portuguese Super League to coach.After all, many of the teams that invited Juande Ramos to take the coach are from the Premier League, and the Premier League teams are far away from the Portuguese Super League in terms of the annual salary they can offer and the resources they can give Juande Ramos. above.

Water flows downhill and people go uphill. If Juande Ramos leaves Sevilla, there is an 80.00% possibility that he will go to the Premier League to coach.

unless! "Western Super League" duo Barcelona or Real Madrid poach Juande Ramos!

Otherwise, Rui Costa really can't think of any other next home for Juande Ramos.

Now that the collected information is useless, Rui Costa simply focused his attention on the training ground, at least after Juand Ramos played Levante last weekend, the post-match press conference When interviewed by the media, he said that there will be three centers in the Europa League match in the middle of the week, which will be a key information point.

so!Rui Costa will make defensive arrangements for the three centers on the defensive end.

However, now Rui Costa has not guessed how Juande Ramos' three center positions will be.

Because, whether it is Frederick Canoute, Luis Fabiano, or Blanco Kepa, they are all players who play in the middle and are not suitable for playing on the wing.However, if these three arrow players are piled up in the middle, it will appear that the middle is very crowded, and the effect may not be better than Frederick Canoute and Luis Fabiano partnering with a double center.

足球战术绝对不是1+1+1等于3这么简单，很多时候1+1+1是小于2，甚至是小于1！

Rui Costa believes that Juande Ramos will definitely not foolishly pile up forwards in the penalty area, and will definitely arrange the positions of the three forwards more cleverly.

But it is a pity that Sevilla has mainly played double-center tactics in the past three seasons, and has never tried a three-forward formation at all, so Rui Costa has no basis to study, and everything can only be prepared according to his own guesses.

What makes Rui Costa helpless is that Fernando Santos, the current head coach of Benfica in name, is not willing to discuss with him how Sevilla's three forwards will position, so everything is in question. It was up to Rui Costa to rack his brains and diverge his thinking.
