- by admin
Coach Paulo Bento, ‘Benberge’, reported a refreshing victory even before his debut in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
UAE, led by coach Bento, won 4-1 in a friendly match against Costa Rica held at Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb, Croatia on the 13th (Korean time).
This game was the debut of coach Bento, who took charge of the UAE last July. The opponent is Costa Rica, which defeated ‘Master General’ Roberto Mancini’s Saudi Arabia 3-1. However, with Coach Bento, the UAE enjoyed the ‘honeymoon effect’ with an unexpected victory.
UAE embarrassed Costa Rica by scoring three goals in the first half alone. It was 45 minutes that showed an overwhelming difference despite being inferior in terms of objective power.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Yahya Al-Ghasani scored the first goal with a great dribble and a shot. Then, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Kaio Canedo’s finish following a wonderful passing play made it 2-0. The last goal of the first half came in the 38th minute. Ali Salmin opened Costa Rica’s goal with a stunning mid-range shot.
The second half of the match between UAE and Costa Rica was equal. In the 54th minute of the second half, Algasani exploded with multiple goals and took a 4-0 lead. Costa Rica then counterattacked and Julio Cascante scored in the 65th minute of the second half to avoid a scoreless defeat.스포츠토토
Coach Bento’s UAE was slightly behind in ball possession (43-57), but attempted 6 shots, boasting accuracy to the extent that 5 of them were effective shots. Also, in the process of scoring, there were quite a few promised plays, so it was no exaggeration to say that it was a victory of tactics and strategy.
Coach Bento has received favorable reviews from within the team as well as the local media immediately after taking charge of the UAE. In particular, he clearly built internal trust by looking at the UAE league, Austrian camp, and the players’ past games, showing a non-stop performance just like when he was the manager of Korea.
Because the process was good, the results were also good. Comparing the weight class difference between the UAE and Costa Rica, it was difficult to predict victory. Additionally, it is a 4-1 victory. Coach Bento made his debut that surprised everyone.
