Chapter 162: Double line to the final!

Braga will go to Porto’s Dragon Stadium to face Gavicente midweek, and the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals will be played in a neutral position.
Due to the tight schedule, Yaltim's preparations also need to be more thoughtful.
It is impossible to say that you do not want to enter the Portuguese League Cup final.
But if all the main players are on the field to play the League Cup, Braga will have a league on weekends, and next week will be a guest at Schalke Stadium to play the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals, and only rely on a lineup to play the world. May be able to handle it?
But if the top substitute loses the semi-finals, it would be a shame not to mention, the morale of the team will inevitably be hit.
So when the team arranged the tactics on the training ground the day before the game, he specifically said to Tang Hong: "Hong, I will arrange you to start the game tomorrow night, but I don’t want you to spend too much. do you understand?"
Tang Hong rolled his eyes and said, "I don't understand, am I taking a walk on the court?"
Yaltim said patiently: "You will definitely be restricted by your opponent's focus. They will pay at least two players to block you. Your task is to hold the opponent's defensive center of gravity in the frontcourt. Then we will focus on Other offensive lines create threats. If Gavicent reacts and relaxes on your defense, then it will be easier for you to exert your strength.
Do you understand now? "
Other players are not surprised to hear this, Tang Hong has long been a thorn in the eyes of each of their opponents!
Tang Hong understood now, and simply said, "Brother, I'm covering, you guys charge!"
The Braga team arrived at the Dragon Stadium in Porto in the evening of the next day. The semi-finals of the Portuguese League Cup held in the neutral position did not make the Dragon Stadium full. Braga fans became the main players in the stands due to their proximity. military.
Standing in the player channel before the game, Tang Hong hugged Wu Lei, who was also starting today. Wu Lei sighed: "I didn't expect that we would meet again on the court as opponents. I hope today's result will be different from the last one. ."
Tang Hong smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, but everyone should work hard."
Wu Lei has his head high and his spirit is high. Recently, his life in Gavicent has been getting better and better, and he has also made obvious progress in just a few months.
He was completely different from training, diet, life and rest in China. He could feel his transformation.
Especially here in Portugal, you can see from the news that Tang Hong is well received almost every week, which is also a source of motivation for him!
It's not that the Chinese can't do it, but whether they have made great efforts to do it!
The starting players of the two teams came on stage. Today, Braga chose most of the rotation to play in the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals.
Goalkeeper: Quim.
Defenders: Miguel Lopez, Douglas, Paul Vinicius, Imero.
Midfielder: Salino, Barbosa, Mahamat.
Forwards: Alan, Nuno Gomez, Tang Hong.
It can be seen that the absolute main players are goalkeeper Kuim, midfielder Barbosa, and forward Tang Hong in the starting lineup.
Yaltim still regards the league as the top priority. The tactical arrangement of this Portuguese League Cup has made a lot of effort. If he can eliminate Gavicente and advance to the final, then it is also a manifestation of his coaching ability.
After the game started, Tang Hong stayed on the left side of the midfield. He was not as active as he used to be in the game, but when he started to control the ball, Gevicent could not ignore his threat, as Yaltim said. It is expected that at least two or three players will flanked Tang Hong.
Tang Hong reviewed the situation and played the ball in time. Braga today performed more aggressively than his other players, especially the players who usually don't have much playing time.
Barbosa also came with instructions today. He will not invest too much in the offense. Braga’s offense is completely handed over to the stamina Nuno Gomez, Alan, and two full-backs. Brazilian player Salino playing midfield.
Tang Hong played a role in the frontcourt as a containment screen, while other teammates unreservedly played a partial cooperation in the fast running to try to tear Gavicente's defense.
Gavicent is still dominated by defensive counterattacks. Many counterattacks launched from the backcourt quickly reached Braga’s defensive hinterland through the frontcourt. Wu Lei also shot a threatening shot 20 minutes ago. .
In fact, it doesn’t matter how tired Tang Hong is. It’s just to preserve his physical fitness to play at the University of Coimbra at home on weekends, and to go to Germany to play the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals in the middle of next week. Tang Hong is still very obedient. Excessive consumption.
It's just that this apparently restrained play on the court made him feel a little awkward.
The continuous deadlock was broken before the end of the first half. Alan made a pass with Miguel Lopez from the wing and then sent a pass to the front of Gevicente. Veteran Nuno Go Max grabbed a foot pad and shot the ball into the goal!
Braga leads by one goal!
At halftime, Yaltim made it clear that he would strengthen his defense in the second half of the game, but no one could have imagined that soon after the beginning of the second half, Gevicente made a fast attack and Wu Lei was caught by Doug when he changed the direction of the ball in the penalty area. Lang stretched his leg and tripped to the ground, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!
Douglas kept protesting to the referee, but the referee remained indifferent.
In this penalty, Wu Lei did not take the penalty, but Givisente’s main striker, Carlolino, came to play.
The much-anticipated Carlolino shot the ball to the upper right corner of the goal, the angle was extremely tricky, Quim threw the ball in the opposite direction and could only watch the football fly into the goal.
Givecente evened the score and his morale boosted, and he played a series of brilliant offensives, but perhaps he was actively attacking. In the 66th minute of the game, Braga initiated a fast attack in the backcourt and Tang Hong stopped on the left side of the center. Crossed to the center zone and then sent a precise through pass to Nuno Gomez.
In the first half, Alan gave Nuno Gomez an assist. This time, Nuno Gomez reciprocated. After the smash got rid of the defensive angle, Alan gave it a straight kick. Alan quickly cut in and made the ball to the middle of the penalty area. The left foot pushes the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
Braga leads Givecente 2:1.
Braga fans are very happy, the only pity is that Tang Hong did not seem to be very excited in this game.
Tang Hong wanted to get excited too, but from time to time he saw Yaltim on the sidelines suddenly died down again!
Braga made a substitution, Tang Hong and Barbosa were replaced together.
Yaltim used Mosolo and Custodio to strengthen the defense.
Even if it is now the leader of the Portuguese Super League, Yaltim has not thought that Braga is the super strong team of Portugal.
Just look at the thickness of the lineup to know that they are still not arrogant.
Now he is using a utilitarian way to hold the victory, even if he is accused by thousands of people, he will not change his face.
Gavicente began to press hard to tie the score, and those Gavicente fans in the stands booed the conservative Braga, but this did not change Braga's posture in the game.
After 75 minutes of the game, Yaltim replaced veteran Nuno Gomez with Amorim to further strengthen the midfield defense.
Even if Givisent put more players in the frontcourt to participate in the offensive, it is difficult for them to organize an effective offensive. The team's characteristics are still mainly to fight back, not very good at positional warfare, not to mention that it is now fighting a tough battle. !
Wu Lei was replaced, his expression was a bit regretful, but his performance today should be able to get a passing score, after all, he created a penalty kick.
Although Braga failed to create a decent threat attack in the last 10 minutes of the game, he controlled the ball and was frequently fouled by Gevicent, which also made Gevicent hopeless.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Braga fans cheered wildly!
They also reached the final in the Portuguese League Cup!
Club President Saldova should be very satisfied with this result. He asked Yaltim to win at least one local cup. At present, Braga has reached the finals in the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese League Cup. As for whether it can be Don't dare to pack votes to win, at least hope is great.
After the game, Tang Hong chatted with Wu Lei again. Given that Gavicente has no pressure to relegation this season, he was already trying his best to hit the Portuguese League Cup at the end of the season. Now he has gone home. I am afraid that the performance of the rest of the season will be After a fall, Tang Hong and Wu Lei encouraged each other, and then left the Dragon Stadium in Porto with the team.
The final will be played at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon!
On the way back, Barbosa wanted to take Tang Hong for a massage again, but Tang Hong refused, saying that he had a masseur in his home. Barbosa was very disappointed. Maybe there was a kind of Tang Hong who seemed to come out less and less to talk to him. Disappointment of activities together.
Tang Hong was very energetic when he returned home at night. After all, he basically didn't run much in the evening. He estimated that he could run less than 4 kilometers for more than 60 minutes of the game. If the harsh critics must criticize him for being lazy Up.
No way, this is Yaltim's request.
Sun Rou still prepared a supper for him. Tang Hong suddenly saw that Sun Rou's pajamas seemed to be smaller, and probably didn't pay much attention to it, so he said to her, "Don't always buy me clothes when you go shopping on weekdays. Look at your pajamas, you can hardly cover your underwear. Go back and buy yourself some new pajamas."
Sun Rou suddenly blushed like a monkey's ass, slightly bent over and squeezed the hem of her nightdress with her hands and pulled it down, staring at Tang Hong and cursing a hooligan before trotting back to the bedroom.
Chen Manhong smiled and said nothing.
Tang Hong sometimes shows some behaviors that dislike Sun Rou, such as staying up late to chase dramas, such as constant snacks every day, such as being a cute girl but not dressing himself up as a little princess...
But Chen Manhong could see that Tang Hong was disgusted and disgusted, but she was absolutely good for Sun Rou. There was nothing to say. She was infinitely tolerating all her words and deeds, and she was never stingy with Sun Rou, and even let Sun Rou enjoy it from time to time. Thanks to Chen Manhong’s female companion, she can take Sun Rou around, whether in Portugal or to other countries, otherwise Sun Rou would rather stay in the house and watch her unnutritious TV series or Anime.
