Chapter 164: Get away!

Brazilian players like to make jokes, and sometimes it makes people feel that they are a little naive. You scratch me and I poke you on the training ground, just like elementary school students.
People who are not used to it are mostly just blindness, but if someone makes a joke at an important moment, it will inevitably arouse public anger.
Salino obviously has a normal mind. Knowing that the team's morale is low at this time, if he says something wrong, he may be disgusted. Seeing everyone watching him, he quickly said: "Oni Hans drew Benfica at home..... ."
"Ok?"
Everyone looked at each other, this should be good news, Braga lost points, Benfica also lost points, Braga at least not changed Benfica's lead.
Custodio seemed to have guessed something, and asked: "Is there another good news?"
Salino rolled his eyes and whispered: "Ferreira drew Porto 1:1 at home."
Everyone now showed slightly surprised expressions.
What a coincidence?
The top three teams in the Portuguese Super League have all suffered a draw this round?
There was neither a pre-war agreement nor a vicious curse. Porto and Benfica really missed a great opportunity!
It may be understandable that Benfica dropped the chain. After all, they did not have the dominant power in the Portuguese Super League these years, but Porto seems to have fallen a lot compared to the same period last season.
It stands to reason that the championship team should not stare at their opponents. It is the posture to strive to be perfect. However, after failing to win the University of Coimbra at home, they learned that Porto and Benfica failed to win. This is good news for Braga. At the very least, with only 6 rounds left in the Portuguese Super League, Braga leads Porto by 6 points and Benfica's advantage by 8 points is indeed crucial.
Yaltim returned to the dressing room after the interview after the game and did not comment on the game. On the contrary, he encouraged the team to let everyone forget about the game as soon as possible. There is no need to have any unpleasant emotions in their hearts. Go home and take a good rest. They are going to fight in Germany soon.
In fact, let alone Braga's players, Yaltim himself can feel the pressure of the end of the season!
Back in time to August last year, who would have thought that Braga's mid-lower team would be a difficult scene from beginning to end?
That's the special treatment that the three giants have.
Braga faced the difficult situation of the game beyond imagination, and the fatigue and ups and downs caused by the intensive schedule were unexpected!
If at this time you think that Braga has not done his best to win the game, whether it is to play or to improve his attitude, it is definitely difficult for a strong man.
Yaltim would naturally not do this.
Moreover, he also learned that Porto and Benfica lost points at the same time in this round. In the situation, Braga not only did not get worse after this round, but slightly improved, because the lead remained unchanged but the remaining league games decreased!
When Tang Hong returned home, he silently used the computer in his bedroom to watch the video of the night game. He would fast forward the video to his own shot and reflect on his performance in the game.
If he can maintain a calm mind in the first half, then this game should be able to win today!
He was a little self-blame in his heart, but he also knew that he had to put these things behind when he fell asleep, and remind himself all the time to keep calm during the game.
Chen Manhong and Sun Rou dressed up for themselves and then embarked on a trip to Germany. Tang Hong went to Germany with the team after two days in Braga.
With the team to Gelsenkirchen in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany, there are two important teams in German football, Dortmund and Schalke 04.
Tang Hong visited here in 2006 to watch the World Cup in Germany.
Although it is a heavy industry and a European coal mining center, the development of the Ruhr Area in recent years has given people a sense of modernity. The rational Germans have a set of economic development, and all walks of life are well planned. Frankfurt is in the European economic system. The status of Germany is also increasing day by day, which makes Germany very strong when the European economy is generally sluggish, and its right to speak in both business and politics is gradually strengthening.
Going to Schalke Stadium, a modern and technologically full stadium, will make the players feel very comfortable. Tang Hong looked up at the open stadium roof when he warmed up here before the game.
After the pre-match preparations were completed, the players of the two teams were ready to kick-off in the player channel. Tang Hong saw a player from Schalke 04 and walked over and asked the other side: "Can you understand me? Portuguese? Although someone has told me that Spanish and Portuguese are similar and that it’s okay to communicate, I’m not sure if you can understand my Portuguese."
He is already a veteran who is fading, and the corner of his eyes has wrinkled when he smiles.
"Of course, I can understand your Portuguese, hello."
"Raul, hello, can I book one of your jerseys in advance? When I was a kid, I used to watch your games."
Real Madrid legend Raul, who came from Bernabéu to the Schalke Stadium, did not expect someone to order his jersey before the game. Looking at Tang Hong’s smile, he nodded and said: "No problem, we will exchange jerseys after the game."
Tang Hong shook hands with the opponent and returned to Braga's queue. The teammates looked at him with weird eyes. It was not that he disliked him and went to the enemy camp to ask for a jersey. It was more like admiring him to rush away!
It is estimated that many Braga players also want a Raul jersey.
Even if you hang at home and retire in the future, you can still brag.
Look, that's the jersey he gave me after I played with Raul.
After all, Braga is just a small team in the Portuguese Super League. There are not many opportunities to play in the European war. The probability of meeting a legendary star is even slim.
The starters of the two teams walked into the Ao to Schalke Stadium together, and the fanatical cheer in the stadium was exciting.
During the European war, Braga's players were almost perfect in their spirit and appearance. This is definitely a bigger and more concerned stage than the Portuguese Super League, so they are not only full of fighting spirit, but also heroic!
Braga fans also have a rare opportunity to follow the team to a foreign game. For them, this is an unforgettable experience and memory as a club fan.
"Good evening, friends and spectators, and welcome to the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals. Schalke 04 will be at home against Braga.
Schalke 04 eliminated Twente from the Eredivisie in the last round of knockouts, while Braga surprisingly won the Premier League giants Manchester United in a double home and away win.
Braga in the UEFA Europa League this season continues the strength of reaching the finals last year, and their difference from last year is that their attacking power is unprecedentedly strong, and they are among the top 8 teams in this UEFA Cup. The most numerous team!
Their head scorer Tang Hong is currently the first in the Europa League scorer list!
Let us look at the starting lineups of the two teams.
Schalke 04 debuted 4231 today.
Goalkeeper: Hildebrand.
Defenders: Uchida Atsushi, Papadopoulos, Matip, Fuchs.
Midfielder: Farfan, Jermaine Jones, Draxler, Marco Hegg, Raul.
Forward: Huntelaar.
Braga started 433.
Goalkeeper: Quim.
Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Eziegil.
Midfielder: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.
Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.
The game will start right away, see if the two teams will bring a wonderful game to the audience today! "
Energetic and high-spirited players from both sides stood up in their respective halves.
With the referee's whistle, Schalke 04 took the lead in kick-off.
Schalke 04 didn't get muddled and directly attacked Braga's defense line.
The new midfielder Draxler knocked the ball back to midfielder Hege under Amorim's pressure, who passed diagonally to the left to find full-back Fuchs.
Fuchs and Raul completed a quick wall collision on the left side of the penalty area and then knocked the ball diagonally back to the left of the penalty area before the baseline.
Draxler rushed to kick the ball first and then pass, cleverly hoisting the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
Huntelaar was blocked by Coelho when he moved to the right rib in the middle of the penalty area. Farfan made a slow cut on the right, and the ball was first controlled by Eziye Gille after bouncing.
When playing in Europe, Braga will inevitably adopt defensive counterattack tactics. As for how opponents will fight, they will wait and see. Schalke 04 only looks at the starting lineup and knows that they will be relatively active. This has given Braga a lot. Good play space.
In the 4th minute of the game, Braga instigated a quick counterattack from the backcourt. After Farfan's pass from the right was blocked by Everton, Amorim passed the ball diagonally from the front of the penalty area to the right.
Viana took the initiative to take the ball and knocked it out under Fuchs, and Barbosa passed the ball straight ahead.
Lima encountered Jermaine Jones' defense as soon as he stopped the ball, and he decisively knocked the ball across to the left.
In the second half of the season, although the physical fitness and form of the Braga team is a double test, it is undeniable that the team's cooperation is more smooth and tacit than the first half of the season.
The first half is basically Tang Hong's one-man show, and the second half begins to bloom. I will appear after you sing it!
Tang Hong made a quick cut inside and stopped and went to the penalty area of ​​Schalke 04. Atsushi Uchida rushed to intercept when he was 3 yards from the penalty area. Tang Hong stopped abruptly with his right foot and made a breakthrough from the outside. Atsushi Uchida Man immediately stopped and twisted and stretched his legs. As a result, when his body turned and he had already surrendered the center of gravity, Tang Hong knocked the ball with his left foot and was about to cross him!
Atsushi Uchida had heard of Tang Hong’s name in the Japanese national team, and until the last half month, he was very jealous of Tang Hong because of the terrifying battle between Braga and Manchester United, because the two happened to be in position. Counter-offensive and defensive, naturally will not be taken lightly in the case of tit-for-tat.
Seeing that he was about to be crossed, Uchida Atsushi couldn't stretch out his foot, but he took Tang Hong’s arm in his hand, and Tang Hong cut in, and Uchida Atsushi himself under the force of both sides of the outward line. Instead, he fell to the ground, and Tang Hong was also blocked.
When Papadopoulos controlled the ball, the referee's whistle had sounded and Braga was given a dangerous free kick.
