Beast King Costa

Chapter 426 Midfield Disadvantage
"Sevilla! Come on! Come on Andalusian Lions!!!"

"Benfica! Come on! Flying Eagles, come on!!!"

"Luis Fabiano wants revenge in this game! He was killed by the referee in the last game!"

"Benfica double-killed Sevilla! Diego continues to have a big four!"

"Kill Benfica! The Andalusian Lions will win!!!"

"Overthrow Sevilla! The goal of our Flying Eagles this season is to win the Europa League!!!"

……

There are more than 7000 Sevilla fans, and the momentum at the Stadium of Light is not in vain. After all, in the eyes of the Sevilla people, it was entirely the referee's problem that caused them to win in 2 Losing the game with the ball leading the way, this game should be played at Benfica's home stadium, the Stadium of Light, to set off a football storm belonging to Andalusia, Spain!

It has to be said that the football styles in the five major regions of Spain are completely different.

Like Catalonia, because of its richness, there will be more talents and more advanced techniques and tactics. Therefore, the spread and control tactics have begun to rise in Catalonia. Catalonia is the most iconic region. The team Barcelona, ​​after Messi, a talented player, entered the first team, the team has begun to transform, moving towards the pass and control flow that will be the general trend of technical and tactical skills in world football in the future.

Like the Madrid region, although it is the capital of Spain, the Madrid region still pays attention to the offensive style of play.Superstars gather, and the offense is continuous like flowing water, making the opponent irresistible. This is one of the reasons why the teams in the Madrid region attract fans.

Because the Basque Country borders France, the football philosophy here is more like French football, not at all as delicate as Spanish football.Coupled with the fact that the Basques are brave and good at fighting and have excellent physical fitness, the football style confrontation in the Basque Country will be very scary.The most iconic team in the Basque Country, Athletic Bilbao's physical confrontation ability can make Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and other "Western Super League" teams frightened.

The Valencia region is by the sea, and there are also a lot of "exotic" football tactics here.Football in the Valencia region combines the essence of all parties and also retains the framework of Spanish football. For example, the Valencia region will still have a technical midfielder at the core of the midfield, but the frontcourt will tend to be wingers tactics.

The football style in Andalusia is a bit similar to that of the Basque Country, but the Andalusians are not as brave and good at fighting as the Basques. They will not pursue the ultimate, they prefer balanced tactics, and the three lines will be adjusted to balance the offense and defense. , there will never be extreme defensive counterattacks, nor extreme offensive suppression.

This game!Although Juande Ramos' 3-4-3 formation strengthens the team's offensive end to some extent, but with the tactical style of Andalusian football, Juande Ramos's lineup will still remain very good The offensive and defensive balance, such as Enzo Maresca will definitely become a pure defensive player to support the three-back formation.

The same is true for Sevilla's captain Renato. After dispatching the ball to the left and right midfielders Duda and Daniel Alves, he will definitely focus on the defensive end and will not continue to participate so extreme To the offensive end of the frontcourt.

As long as Duda and Daniel Alves fly on both wings and advance to the frontcourt to participate in the offensive organization, then plus the three forward players in the frontcourt Frederic Canoute, Luis Fabiano, Bu Ranko Kepa already has five offensive players, and the three defenders in the backcourt plus Enzo Maresca and Renato, two central midfielders/backward players to participate in the defense, can just achieve a [-]-[-] split The balanced tactical position.

After the start of the game, the technical and tactical positions of Juand Ramos' team on the field also verified that Andalusian football is indeed like this. There will be no absolute tendency in any link, but will maintain a five-five Open balance!
Even if it is necessary to strengthen the offensive end to grab points due to the passivity of the situation, then at most it will be [-]-[-].

The left and right wide midfielders Duda and Daniel Alves are very high. This is the offensive participation that the partnership between Duda and Yesulli cannot do, after all because of Juande Ramos The 4-4-2 formation requires very, very high assists for the full-backs, so in many cases, Duda and Yesuli need to be recycled to the middle of the midfield to provide for David Casteldo, Daniel Alves moved up from the wing and made way.

To some extent, it is killing Duda's offensive talent.

As a winger who was selected for the Portuguese national team, Duda's offensive talent is quite outstanding. Although he does not have the exaggerated offensive talent of talented winger attackers such as Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, Duda also has excellent offensive talent. Enough to be regarded as a well-regulated international wing attacker. In the Portuguese Super League, Duda has always played the winger position!

It was only after he came to Lebanon and joined Sevilla that he was gradually transformed into a full-back with balanced offense and defense on the wing.

In order to adapt to the stage of the five major leagues and to play in the UEFA Champions League, Duda obediently accepts this kind of transformation that is conducive to his performance in the club.

Despite this, Duda lost his position in the Portuguese national team. After all, the Portuguese national team under the leadership of Scolaris does not have a full-back presence-since there are such geniuses as Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, and Nani. There is really no need for the existence of full-backs with the presence of offensive players on the wide side. It is only necessary to adjust the tactics to be more conducive to the performance of these talented offensive players on the wide side.

But Duda was not disappointed because he lost his position in the national team, because Duda is not the kind of player who pursues a high sense of national honor and honor. He will be more inclined to pursue personal honor, so he can follow Sevilla won the UEFA Europa League, defeated Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup, and won the UEFA Super Cup. For Duda, he is more proud than winning the European Cup with the Portuguese national team.

This game returns to the hometown of Portugal and plays at the Stadium of Light, which he longed for when he was young. Duda is also a rare Sevilla player who is not hated by Benfica fans at the Stadium of Light. Some Portuguese fans even cheer for Duda. Cheer up Da.

This also made Duda more excited to play, even more eye-catching than the "Brazilian Magic Wing" Daniel Alves on the right.

On the left flank, Duda directly faced Benfica's right back Nelson.

Although Nelson can be regarded as a full-back player with a very balanced offense and defense, facing Duda, who played extremely excitedly today, Nelson was very difficult to defend.

Duda was very daring to make moves on the left flank. He played all kinds of fake moves so that Nelson lost his center of gravity repeatedly.

In the 7th minute of the game, after Duda swayed away from Nelson on the left, he passed the ball as accurately as a scalpel into the Benfica penalty area!
The Spanish high center Blanco Kepa, who got the chance to start in this game, leaped high, grabbed the first spot with a header, and directly blasted towards the gate guarded by Moreto!

Moreto's concentration was very concentrated, and he shot Blanco Kepa's header out of the bottom line in time!
Sevilla's corner from the left!

The corner kicker is still Duda!
This time, Duda once again made Rui Costa in front of the coach of the home team break out in a cold sweat!
Duda kicked a curved ball inward and hit the head of Frederick Canoute, who stands out from the crowd in the Benfica penalty area. Frederic Canoute overwhelmed Louison and directly bombed with a header!
This time, Moreto did not stop Sevilla's header bombing!
fine!David Luiz appeared in front of the goal very timely and used his iconic "shaggy head" to blast Frederick Canoute's header out of his own penalty area, completing a thrilling goal Line relief!

"Wow!!!"

"Is it so powerful?!"

"Damn it! It's so awesome! It's all right!?"

……

The Stadium of Light, whether it is the fans of Benfica or Sevilla, all exclaimed - David Luiz's clearance this time is definitely a world-class extreme clearance, even if David Luiz is a second and a half slower Shoot, then Frederick Canoute's header is probably a goal.

"David, the rescue was so beautiful!"

Although Rui Costa on the sidelines applauded David Luiz for the extreme goal line clearance just now, it was very obvious that the expression on Rui Costa's face was very dignified, because Sevilla headed twice in a row The goal is getting closer and closer to the goal. Although the wonderful performances of Moreto and David Luiz have kept Sevilla's goals at bay, if they continue to be bombed by Sevilla, the goal will be broken. It's only a matter of time!
Rui Costa could only shout to the players in the midfield: "Strengthen the control of the midfield and strengthen the attack in the frontcourt! Don't let Sevilla press us so wantonly to attack!"

But Rui Costa is also very helpless. This game Benfica mainly plays a 4-3-3 formation. It is obvious that Pettit and Carter Solanis are used to the tactical play of double midfielders. Now there are more midfielders. After a Kaliaka, Petit and Carter Solanis played very chaotically.

So the Benfica midfielder lost the initiative to control the midfield and was kicked by the Sevilla midfielder Renato and Enzo Maresca. , Kaliaca's midfield combination, both in terms of number and reputation, are above Renato and Enzo Maresca.

For a moment, Rui Costa was also a little confused.

Although he is the banner figure of the golden generation of Portuguese football and a meritorious figure of Benfica, Rui Costa is only a "rookie" as the head coach.

At this moment, the only solution that Rui Costa thought of was to put himself on the field as an assistant coach and substitute player.

but……

Now the game time has just reached the 10th minute of the first half. If you replace yourself, the powerful head coach, on the field so soon, then there will be no head coach on the sidelines for the next 80 minutes of the game. I Costa's current physical condition is not enough to support him to complete 80 minutes.

Therefore, for a while, Rui Costa also showed his embarrassment as a "rookie coach".

In desperation, Rui Costa could only retreat to the coaching bench, looking for Fernando Santos, the Portuguese footballer, the "helm" of the veteran coach to study, what changes can be made now to restore the situation on the scene decline.

"Um???"

Fernando Santos seemed a little surprised by this. He didn't expect Rui Costa to be so humble looking for himself for advice.

Since Rui Costa humbly asked himself to give him advice, Fernando Santos still gave Rui Costa very pertinent advice very seriously.

"It's still unclear how the positioning of Sevilla's three forwards is. Obviously, the positioning of Sevilla's three forwards is still quite chaotic, so they deliberately let Cagliaca retreat deeper, or even directly withdraw to the defender. line, allowing Kaliaka to entangle Luis Fabiano, an efficient shooter, so that the positions of Petit and Carter Solanis will not be confused, and they can resume the familiar double defensive midfielder position. ”

"But……"

Rui Costa seemed a little hesitant: "If Kaliaka retreats to the back line, will the positions of Luisson and David Luis be confused? In this case, it will become very dangerous gone."

"No, just make Luisson, David Luiz and Kaliaca all man-to-man. Louison manning Frederick Canoute, David Luiz manning Bran Co Kepa and Cagliaca entangle Luis Fabiano so there will be no confusion."

"Okay! Then try it and see how it works!"

Since I don't have any good way to solve the current chaos in the midfield, Fernando Santos has given me very rare and pertinent advice, so just follow Fernando Santos' advice!

See if the situation improves after making the changes.

Under Rui Costa's suggestion, Benfica's midfield position began to change. Cagliaka, a defensive midfielder, found Luis Fabiano, which made Petit and Carter Solan Nice can return to their most familiar double midfielder partner position.

Soon, the double midfielder advantage of Renato and Enzo Maresca was suppressed by the dual-core drive of Petit and Carter Solanis.

Benfica's predicament of being pressured and kicked by Sevilla finally took the initiative back to their hands!
Seeing that his team had regained the initiative, Sevilla's two wingers, Duda and Daniel Alves, could not do what they did before. They unscrupulously advanced into the frontcourt and sent assists to the three forwards. Yes, Rui Costa in front of the coach of the home team on the sidelines can be regarded as a long sigh of relief.
