Chapter 315 New Season Tasks

On September 9th, the first match of the second round of the Portuguese Super League in the new season, Braga played against Aves as a guest.

"Minho Arsenal" Braga successfully won the second victory of the new season in an away game. It was Braga's Brazilian boss Wende who helped Braga win.

In the 34th minute of the game, Wende cut in with the ball from the side. After passing three people by one person, he kicked the goal and hit the opponent's defender's leg to refract into the net. This is also a very lucky goal-because Wende started When the foot shot was within the range of the goal frame, and the refraction was not large, the ball was not officially counted as an own goal.

Braga, who is missing the main center Mayon, is like a toothless tiger. Even after taking the lead, he has been suppressing Ives and attacking wildly, but there has been no way to end the attack.

Therefore, Wende's lucky goal also became the only goal in this game.

1 is better than 0!

Although Braga failed in the UEFA Champions League qualifying match against Vienna, Austria, after returning to the Portuguese Super League, they successfully scored 3 points in two consecutive games, which can be regarded as giving the fans of "Minho Arsenal" a lot of confidence .

At least, the fans believe that with Braga's current strength, coupled with the uselessness of the main center forward who returns from injury, the team can still achieve a good result in the Europa League in the new season, and may even go to the Europa League. Impact the Europa League semi-finals in the new season, and even the championship!
On September 9th, the second game of the second round of the new season will be the game of Benfica's rival in the same city, Sporting Lisbon.

The match was played 2 hours earlier than the Benfica match.

Like the first game in Braga, Sporting Lisbon had a very difficult away game-for this campaign, Sporting Lisbon needed to fly from the capital's airport to Madeira Islands to play against the Portuguese nationals, one of the two giants in Madeira Islands Team.

The two giants of the Madeira Islands, the Portuguese National and Maritimo, have always been the home of the Portuguese Super Devils.

After all, running from the Iberian Peninsula to the Madeira Islands to play games can basically be said to be flying from Europe to Africa to play games.

The long-distance flight made the players physically and mentally exhausted. When they arrived at the home court of the Portuguese nationals, they were even more oppressed by the fanatical atmosphere of the natives of Madeira.

Even, in fact, the Portuguese nationals, who can only be regarded as mid-range in the Portuguese Super League, relied on such a devil's home advantage. In the first 70 minutes of the game, they have been suppressing Sporting Lisbon's mad attack. Children are gone.

In the end, it was Sporting Lisbon's supernova Nani who stood up as the savior!
In the 78th minute of the game, Nani made a fatal blow!
This time, it wasn't an inward shot from the wing that ended the attack, but Lidson's shot was saved and a supplementary shot completed the goal!

After the score was broken, Sporting Lisbon was not interested in expanding the score. Instead, they shrunk their defense very aggressively, allowing the Portuguese nationals to continue to attack—anyway, the Portuguese nationals' offenses were more often windy and rainy. Can't penetrate Sporting Lisbon's defense.

1 is better than 0!

Sporting Lisbon took away the second victory of the Portuguese Super League this season in Madeira Islands!
In this way, all the pressure is thrown on Benfica, another team in Lisbon!
In the first round of the new season of the Portuguese Super League, Benfica will be postponed until December due to the food poisoning of the opponent Bilanises, so!Tonight's game at the Bessa Stadium will be the first official game after Benfica's overthrow and reconstruction in the offseason!
This younger and more energetic Benfica debut!

Speaking of youth, Boavista's head coach Zelik Petrov is also quite young, only 40 years old!
The Montenegrin is a rare former Yugoslav coach in Eastern Europe in the Portuguese Super League.

As an Eastern European player, Zelik Petrov's player career resume is mediocre. The highest light was played as a substitute in Seville for a year, and then he was abandoned and moved to other league teams. After playing for three seasons in the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven, he returned to Montenegro to retire for two years before announcing his retirement and transformation.

Zelik Petrov did not stay in the former Yugoslavia region in his first stop as a coach, but went to the Eredivisie where he had played before - he successfully competed and became the assistant coach of the Feyenoord reserve team .

In the Feyenoord reserve team, Zelik Petrov went from an assistant coach to the head coach position in three years, and then to the assistant coach of the Feyenoord first team, which can be described as a triple jump.

I don’t know where Boavista got the information, maybe he was playing football manager and discovered Zelik Petrov, right?

Before the end of last season, Boavista club executives went to the Netherlands and signed Zelik Petrov to the team as an assistant coach. In fact, it was to let Petrov join the team earlier. Started a drastic transformation of the team.

Facts have proved that although Zelik Petrov is young, he is indeed very promising.

Paul Jorge, who was transformed by Petrov last season, also praised Petrov's ability after coming to Benfica. He has benefited a lot from Petrov's transformation .

What Zelik Petrov is best at is not the winger tactics that the Dutch like. On the contrary, Zelik Petrov is very hardcore. He likes the Italian's 4-4-2 parallel midfield position, and he likes toughness. Defensive counterattack can be described as a fanatical follower of Sacchi's tactical philosophy.

In this game against Benfica, Zelik Petrov still played his best and favorite 4-4-2 formation.

Needless to say, the frontcourt must have been so hot in the last round that he almost overturned Ze Munir at the Jose Alvalade Stadium. His partner, the Austrian all-around center Roland, who is one of the main frameworks of the team, Linz!
The striker configuration of one high and one fast is also the most common striker configuration in Sacchi's 4-4-2 parallel midfield formation.

Midfielder!

João Lucas, Rafael Gazelaco, Kazmijecak, Thiago!

Rafal Gazelako and Kazmijecak in the middle of the midfield are both tall and strong midfielders, similar to Benfica's double midfielder configuration that can take on the task of organizing the midfield. Boavista's two central midfielders have very strong defensive capabilities, and it can be said that they have placed two defensive midfielders in the midfield.

But compared to Kazmijecak, Rafal Gezelak still has a certain organizational ability.

In fact, it is a very simple and rough kick, and the long pass directly finds the top high center forward. After all, the team that mainly plays defensive counterattacks does not need any complicated midfield organization. If he is a high center forward on the field, he is considered a competent organizational midfielder.

This kind of organizational midfielder who only knows how to play long passes is simply the meat of the eagle's mouth for Diego. This game can be said to be sure of him!

In the backcourt, Boavista basically retained the main frame of last season.

After Paul Jorge ran to Benfica, Boavista introduced full-back Califacise. This young full-back easily became the starter, and he played steadily.

In this game, Zelik Petrov's defense line is: Elder Rosario, Mario Silva, Ricardo Silva, Califacisse.

In the last game, this back line supported Sporting Lisbon's stormy attack for a long time.

If it wasn't for William Diego being so stupid that he didn't restrain his actions and caused two yellows to turn into one red and was sent off, there would be no ball-holding points for defensive counterattacks in the frontcourt. Otherwise, Boavista's solid defense line would be completely Can create more counterattack opportunities for the frontcourt!
Eze Munir's "counter-attack artifact" ability to finish the attack might score twice, or even score a hat-trick.How could it be possible to lose the game in the end when the situation was so good at the beginning?No matter how the script is, it can still score a point at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

Since it was his first official game coaching Benfica, even though the opponent Boavista was not a strong Portuguese super team in this game, Fernando Santos still put out his main lineup very boldly.

This game is also the first time Fernando Santos has used a 4-2-3-1 formation in a game!

在费尔南多·桑托斯的执教生涯中，并没有过摆出4-2-3-1的战例，所以，泽利克·彼得罗夫看到首发大名单的时候，顿时也是愣住了：“什么鬼？！桑托斯教练踢4-2-3-1阵型？天呐！我查阅过了桑托斯教练的执教生涯所有战术记录，压根就没有过踢4-2-3-1的时候呀！”

Not only that, Leonardo Bastos, who was supposed to start, did not appear in the starting lineup, and was replaced by Assis!

Goalkeeper: Quim;
Defenders: Assis, Louison, David Luiz, Nelson;

Midfielders: Pettit, Carter Solanis;
Frontcourt: Calagonis, Nuno Gomez, Simão;
Center Forward: Diego Costa!

The main frame of this lineup is familiar to the old Boavista players. On the central axis, Luisson, Pettit, and Nuno Gomez were the absolute main players last season. Mang is the same.

Diego, at the center position, was the brightest supernova in the Portuguese Super League in the second half of last season. How could the Boavista players not know him?

The players in Boavista are relatively unfamiliar with the Benfica midfielder Greek international Carter Solanis and David Luiz. Although the former is somewhat famous in Europe, Carter Solanis has played in the Greek League all his career. Not many people have actually played against him, and the latter is completely unfamiliar.

David Lewis?
Who is it?
Where did the young man come from, and he actually secured the position of Benfica's main central defender in the first season?
