Chapter 155: Turning point!


In the second half, the teams changed sides to fight again. Regardless of whether Braga can cheer up, at least after the first half of the game, the team has at least adapted to the enthusiastic atmosphere of Old Trafford.
Braga's first attack after kick-off did not succeed. There were too few offensive players in the front court. Lima's pass was cut off by Smalling, and the pass line was too obvious.
Manchester United still maintains a high-pressure offensive. Braga's defense line retreats, especially the formation of a barrier between the first three midfielders in the penalty area, which has a certain positive effect.
Manchester United still insisted on attacking from the wing, but they were blocked in several passes, but they were always able to regain the ball in the middle of the frontcourt to form a continuous offensive!
In the 52nd minute of the game, when Rooney tried to send a through ball to Hernandez in the front midfield, it was intercepted by Custodio. Then Custodio immediately crossed the ball to Barbosa.
Immediately after Barbosa stopped the ball and turned around, Tang Hong immediately moved forward from the side to open the distance between Phil Jones, and Barbosa decisively started a long pass.
Tang Hong just ran a few steps and then stopped, the football was intercepted by Smalling initiative!
The pass is a bit too haste, and I still want to pass the ball to create a single shot, which really doesn't take Manchester United's defense line seriously.
Although the Red Devils line is no longer the pinnacle combination of Ferdinand and Vidic, it is not an entry-level through plug that can be directly penetrated!
Tang Hong's advance came to an abrupt end, and Manchester United was on the spot.
After Ashley Young's wing met, he restrained the defensive line and knocked the ball back diagonally. Braga's retreat was so obvious that the midfield of the backcourt gave Manchester United players a broader vision and space. Park Ji-sung responded to Ashley Young's Pass decisively to make an offensive transfer.
After the football rolled to the left, Giggs just dribbled a step forward and stopped the ball suddenly. At the moment of Bayano's grab, Giggs gently pushed the ball straight into the sideline.
Evra swiftly passed him quickly, and Baiano turned back to defend before it was too late to interfere and block.
Evra made a cross and hung to the middle of the door.
The two Braga centre-backs who were ready to stand still did not move!
Because the football fell between the two!
Everton had no time to move to make a header clearance, and Coelho was entangled in the small pea Hernandez.
Suddenly, a figure slammed into it, and headed for the goal without a jump against the falling football!
The football flies straight to the center of the goal like a cannonball!
The ball was too close to the goalkeeper, and Quim had no time to react. As soon as he raised his hand subconsciously, the football had already flown into the goal from his hand!
I saw Rooney headed the goal and rushed to find Evra with a smile to celebrate the goal!
Everyone cheered at Old Trafford and the scene was spectacular!
"Rooney scored with a header! Assist from Evra!
Manchester United scored the second goal in the beginning of the second half!
Braga's counterattack failed to reach the result and the line of defense was hit hard again!
Red Devils Manchester United let Braga experience the cruelty and strength gap of the European war!
This is a holistic gap, it is too difficult for Braga to make a difference at Old Trafford!
Manchester United 2:0 Braga! "
The Braga fans who came from afar showed regrets. If they were disappointed, they would have some such emotions, but it would not be uncomfortable to think that their opponent is the Megatron Red Devils Manchester United.
The overall strength gap lies there!
Manchester United only Rooney is worth more than half of Braga's players!
When Manchester United celebrated the goal, Tang Hong silently walked to the middle circle, Lima also came to his side, watching the Red Devils celebrating, and the countless fans celebrating in the stands, Lima expressionless, yes Tang Hong asked, "What should I do?"
Tang Hong wiped his face, and the football kicked by his backcourt teammates rolled to his feet. He stepped on the football and looked around the stands at the kick-off point. At this moment, there are not many Red Devils fans at Old Trafford who still attach importance to Braga. , May even leave Braga behind after today.
Tang Hong whispered: "A tsunami is oncoming, and there is no choice but to escape, but I don't want to do that."
Lima's expression became extremely solemn, but he didn't say a word.
Manchester United walked back to the half with ease, Ferguson was also happy to applaud from the coaching bench, Yaltim was already a little dull.
He already wants to prepare for substitutions and retain his strength to play in the weekend league. A few days ago, Porto narrowed the league's points gap. If the price of the Europa League is to lose more points in the league, then I am afraid that this season is far away. Not far away!
After finally having a small chance to achieve something, Yaltim naturally had a feeling of gain and loss in his heart, for fear of too much ambition and eventually dig his own grave.
Braga’s generals are naturally unwilling to lose the ball, but it may not be enough to say how resentful they are. After all, Manchester United’s rapid impact has really made their defense difficult to parry. Now everyone is thinking about how to fish away goals, as long as they can Entering one is also a big plus for the promotion situation.
The referee blew the whistle and Braga kicked off.
Manchester United started to slow down slightly after two goals, playing more sure offensives, and passing more without good opportunities.
Barbosa frantically pressed in the middle of the backcourt to harass Manchester United’s shots. It is not Manchester United’s character not to attack forward. It is impossible to make them fall like a scorpion. Ferguson himself has admitted that if the Champions League final Play conservatively against Barcelona and Manchester United, then the result may be different, but that is not the style of the Red Devils!
In the 58th minute of the game, Park Ji-sung broke into the penalty area and failed to grab a point. Everton first cleared the ball and gave Braga a chance to counterattack.
When Custodio ferryed the ball to Barbosa, the latter quickly sent the ball to Viana's feet, and Rooney killed him.
Seeing that Evra was about to kill, Viana hurriedly dialed the ball to open the distance with the opponent, and then sent the ball safely to the left of the midfield.
When Tang Hong took the initiative to run towards the center, he stopped the ball immediately!
Phil Jones was already in front of him, Tang Hong dribbled to the middle, and his body was shaking greatly, but he didn't touch the ball under his feet!
Phil Jones was deceived by him and stopped moving quickly. Tang Hong led him by one beat and the next second made Phil Jones turned back to chase after him!
After Tang Hong shook his head, he immediately reversed the cut to the ball and started to accelerate the ball to push forward.
The result of Tang Hong's thinking during the intermission is that he needs to make a significant change in the rhythm of defending his players!
No matter how fast he is, it is impossible to level off against a prepared opponent. Even if the personal strength of the Manchester United defensive player is not at the top level, he is absolutely experienced. It is impossible to watch him lap the ball faster and pass by without being moved and blocked. This is the most basic defensive common sense.
But to make the opponent's rhythm change drastically, then it is necessary to deceive the opponent's center of gravity more, and it is easier to get rid of it by starting again in the sudden stop.
After the ball accelerated to get rid of Phil Jones, Tang Hong quickly slid the ball in and cut to the front of the Manchester United penalty area. At this time, Raphael rushed to defend against, Tang Hong watched Lima's position and passed the ball. , Rafael still hesitated when he hit him from the wing, and when Tang Hong stopped to hold the ball and did not pass the ball, Rafael expected his suspicion to be correct!
Tang Hong hopes that he will surrender his body to block the pass line!
The Brazilian full-back immediately started to grab Tang Hong, and he had already seen through Tang Hong's plan with confidence.
But at the moment of rushing to grab the foot, I was extremely shocked!
Tang Hong moved his right foot to the left side gently, and at the same time, he retreated half a step before starting to kill forward to the left!
The retracement is to avoid being fouled by Raphael!
After wiping off Raphael dexterously, he started to walk forward and sprinted the ball into the penalty area. At this time, Manchester United centre-back Smolin slammed into his eyes!
Tang Hong stepped on a bicycle and forced the other party to stop quickly and dare not step!
Because the action of stepping on a bicycle is likely to cause him to first touch Tang Hong's foot when he steps down!
That would be a penalty!
Just when Smalling stopped abruptly, Tang Hong suddenly accelerated the ball forward to play an offensive depth advantage. At this time, he did not hesitate at all, and decisively passed the ball across the front of the center!
Although Lima was entangled with Evans in the quick follow-up, he had the advantage in the active response. De Gea abandoned the door and Lima immediately grabbed a shovel shot!
Just when De Gea was one meter away from the football, Lima shoveled and shot from his right front, and blocked the ball with his left foot. De Gea was stunned and subconsciously reached out to block but only caught the air. !
The football flew into the goal!
Lima also slipped into the Manchester United goal!
All the pleasant atmosphere at Old Trafford vanished for a moment!
After a brief period of silence, the cheers of Braga fans took the lead!
When Lima just stood up, Tang Hong had already ran past him, picked up the football in the goal and held it in his arms, then turned around and pulled Lima, and the two ran towards the middle circle together after high-fiving.
"OMG! Braga got a goal back! Lima outflanked the goal and scored!
This is a golden goal!
Although it was Lima who scored the goal, 80% of the credit for the goal should be counted on Tang Hong. I hope no audience blinked just now!
Tang Hong started from the side of the midfield until he touched the ball. He successively dropped Phil Jones, Raphael, and broke Smalling's defense in the penalty area, tearing Manchester United's defense with one man!
Finally, finally, let us finally see what this talented forward who is highly respected by the Portuguese media can do!
It's not too late in terms of time!
Braga now has an away goal, Manchester United's one-goal lead has been reduced to the limit!
Manchester United do not want to get deep in the mud in the Europa League, but this is Old Trafford and they should respond!
I thought it would be a one-sided game, but now the game has begun to take a turn!
Manchester United 2:1 Braga! "
