Manchester United will return to Braga as a guest, and the second round of the Europa League 1/8 final is about to start at the municipal stadium.
The local football market has become extremely popular, and almost everyone in Braga has put on Braga's jersey!
Ferguson did not make any rhetoric about reversal before the game. Manchester United's championship situation in the league is extremely severe, and it is not wise to slam the Europa League.
But to give up?
Sorry, there is no such word in the Red Devils dictionary.
Yaltim's optimism is very limited. Winning the game in the first round just took the lead but did not take the lead in hitting the line. The mentality of playing the European war was vividly reflected in the mentality of walking on thin ice.
Sun Rou, who hadn't spoken to Tang Hong for many days, finally recovered. She is always like this. One thing will not be happy for too long, and one thing will not make her depressed for a long time.
On Thursday night, the municipal stadium was packed, and the night in Braga was refreshing when the spring blossoms.
Braga, who is still doing his best, is waiting at home, and Manchester United is also coming!
In the second round of the Europa League 1/8 finals, when the players of the two teams shook hands before the match, the Manchester United players spontaneously focused on Tang Hong for more time.
The Chinese striker who had seized the headlines for two days in England humiliated the Red Devils in the last game at Old Trafford. Many players even encountered Ferguson's hair dryer after the game. This game will inevitably guard against him and avoid The scene of the defense line being destroyed by Tang Hong's own power again appeared.
"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the second round of the Europa League 1/8 final. Braga will play at home against the Red Devils Manchester United.
In the game a week ago, Braga unexpectedly defeated Manchester United 3:2 away, and today he will be able to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals as long as he does not lose to Manchester United at home!
Braga's team was really unpredictable in the European knockout.
When people were slightly optimistic about their visit to Moscow, they ended up losing to Lokomotiv Moscow 0:3 away. When no one was optimistic about their promotion back home, they swept Lokomotiv Moscow 5:0 and staged a shocking turnaround.
Last week, many people took a second look, and Manchester United actually lost at home!
This is incredible.
Today, I believe everyone is more optimistic about Braga's advancement to the quarterfinals, but who can guess the script of the game?
Maybe Manchester United will go home with joy in 90 minutes.
Today Braga uses the starting lineup from a week ago.
Goalkeeper: Quim.
Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Eziegil.
Midfielder: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.
Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.
Manchester United made some adjustments in personnel.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.
Midfielder: Ashley Young, Park Ji Sung, Cleverly, Carrick, Giggs.
Forward: Rooney.
The game starts right away, let's see if Manchester United can complete the comeback on the away game! "
Compared to Manchester United’s strength in the Dream Theater a week ago, although they are actively controlling the ball and actively instigating the offensive at their home court in Braga today, the offensive efficiency is far lower than a week ago, and even the impact rhythm is also Reduced a lot.
Even at home, Braga will inevitably play a defensive counterattack. In fact, if Manchester United were a utilitarian team in the first leg, they would never give Braga a chance to turn around.
However, such a Red Devils will certainly not become the top three club in the world in terms of number of fans.
In the 5th minute of the game, Cleverly was cut off by Custodio, and then Braga launched a counterattack and fast attack.
Tang Hong responded with his back on the left side of the center line. Just after he stopped the ball, he noticed Park Ji-sung who was killing from the side. He raised his leg and passed the ball to Eziye Gille in the back. The momentum of the ball came suddenly at the moment of touching the ball. Stop, turn the ball inside the foot and turn around!
Cruyff turned around!
Park Ji-sung was not completely deceived, but he was forced to foul when he twisted his body, because Tang Hong protected the football and did not give him room to steal.
After Tang Hong fell to the ground, Park Jixing took the initiative to pull up. In this match, Park Jixing obviously had a new task, which was to restrict Tang Hong's performance.
Manchester United's tempo impact dropped and Braga was united at home, which made it difficult for Manchester United to play a threat in Braga's defense.
On the contrary, Braga's counterattack and fast break threats are getting bigger and bigger.
In the 12th minute of the game, Tang Hong responded to Amorim's pass from the side of the midfield. When Park Ji-sung hit him, he headed the ball to the center zone and quickly moved forward after the ball.
Barbosa overly passed the ball from the middle to the left side of the frontcourt. Tang Hong slightly shook off Park Ji-sung in Biao Su, and cut across the ball when he touched the ball, making Park Ji-sung blocked on the chase line and forced to slow down.
The home team fans in the bleachers of the municipal stadium are elated. Many of them now come to the stadium and look forward to watching Tang Hong play.
Although not to the extent that the former fans joked that they would go to the Bernabeu to see Zidane or Highbury to see Bergkamp if they wanted to watch art football.
But in the case of Portugal, which is a three-point area, Tang Hong's personal performance is the most anticipated value for fans.
Tang Hong, who crossed to the middle, encountered Carrick's frontal interception. He observed his teammate's running position. Tang Hong made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the right.
Viana trot the ball quickly and then completed a collision with Lima and turned into the middle zone. Tang Hong cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area and had a tactical cross with Lima.
When Viana's over-the-top pass came, Manchester United's defense was almost broken!
The old Ferdinand is no longer the pinnacle of the Red Devils' defense, but Ferguson has not yet become the mainstay of the next generation of defense.
When Tang Hong charged up like a madman, they could hardly resist the threat!
Unless more defensive players compress the space!
Viana's pass was a bit close to the bottom line. Tang Hong ran all the way to the bottom line to meet the ball and volleyed the ball directly. Goalkeeper De Gea shot and blocked the angle, and the ball was saved out of the bottom line with both palms.
Tang Hong sighed up to the sky. He was already unable to control the ball and stopped abruptly. The shot itself was very difficult to score, and in the end it failed to produce an unexpected result.
Although he was disappointed, the Braga fans in the stands were very excited!
Because judging from the performance on the field, Braga is better today than the overall performance at Old Trafford a week ago, at least not to be suppressed by Manchester United for a long time!
Ferguson was not entangled in the gains and losses of one or two games, but the old coach sitting on the coach's bench with arms around his chest still maintained a serious focus on watching the progress of the game. His eyes were fixed on Tang Hong's most of the time. Body.
Look at Tang Hong’s activity habit when running without the ball, look at Tang Hong’s position selection when responding, and the rhythm of observing the situation when holding the ball, especially when attacking [Pencil Novel www.qbxs.vip] situation context Grasp whether the timing of the pass is right, and whether the personal breakthrough is slightly reckless.
In the 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United had only 4 shots and none of them hit the goal range!
Braga has 5 shots and 3 hits!
Compared to a week ago, Tang Hong almost relied on Tang Hong to carry the offensive of the team. Today, even if it is not more blooming at the municipal stadium in Braga, the overall offensive does not depend on Tang Hong alone.
This is related to Tang Hong being closely guarded by Park Jixing. Park Jixing can make it difficult for Tang Hong to get the opportunity and space for long-distance attacks, but it can't completely limit Tang Hong's chances of catching the ball and running position.
The King of South Korea received a yellow card in the 32nd minute of the match because Tang Hong shook his leg and tripped Tang Hong when he received a pass from Lima.
Park Ji-sung and the referee tried to explain that his foul was not intentional, but the referee shook his head and stretched out three fingers with a helpless expression.
This is the third time he has fouled Tang Hong, and it would be unreasonable not to give a card.
Tang Hong didn't change his mentality because of being fouled. Such things always happen on the court.
If the threatening player is not taken care of by the opponent, it can only show that the opponent wants to die!
Three minutes later, Park Ji-sung defended Tang Hong again. Because of the yellow card on his body, he didn't dare to get too close to Tang Hong. If he was forced to take a tactical foul after being broken, he might get a second yellow card.
This is not the Premier League game, and it is Braga’s home court. The whistle of the previous game was slightly biased against Manchester United. If the foul penalty scale is relaxed, it is to take care of Manchester United and want Manchester United to be at Braga’s home court. Also taken care of, unless UEFA is determined to keep the top traffic of Manchester United in the Europa League!
But the Champions League did not guarantee Manchester United, and naturally there will be no special arrangements in the Europa League, and there have been conspiracy theories in the past few years that UEFA is suppressing the Premier League team.
Tang Hong suddenly stopped on the spot in front of Park Zhixing. He looked forward to the middle of the field, swiped his left foot and kicked it out!
Park Jixing quickly turned to the side and found that Tang Hong kicked the air!
After Tang Hong took a step to the left, Park Jixing quickly dribbled up the line to intercept him.
Tang Hong shortly sent the ball to the left before the opponent got close again. After the ball, he stopped and turned to the left side of the penalty area and rushed!
When he and Park Ji-sung passed by, it was too late for Park Ji-sung to withdraw and focus!
Eziye Gille had already speeded up to the peak. He received Tang Hong's pass from the left side of the frontcourt and then crossed to the middle. Park Jixing was hit by Tang Hong and his teammates by hitting the wall twice!
Tang Hong, who had just stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, saw Ferdinand cautiously defended. He pulled the ball back a step and adjusted his face and followed the ball to the center of the goal.
Lima cut into the penalty area to complete the counter-offside in a quick impact and headed the goal directly!
Van der Gea under the gods!
The header from close range was actually blocked by De Gea!
However, the alert Tang Hong rushed when the football reached the penalty zone line and flew his head to Viana on the right. The latter stopped the ball with his left foot and swayed past Evra, then angered. Shoot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
This time De Gea is helpless!
Braga is the first to score at home!
