143 I will!
After the opening, the Portuguese Nationals launched a fast attack and blitzkrieg. Braga's defense line was ready to be strong and did not reveal any flaws were exposed and was defeated by the opponent. After the blitzkrieg failed, the Portuguese Nationals immediately shrank the defense line and turned to adopt a defensive counterattack tactic.
The style of playing is still relatively wise.
Braga began the tough battle. In the fourth minute of the game, Tang Hong received a pass from Amorin from the left side of the frontcourt. He was pressing the defender with his back and gently pulled the ball behind him from the outside of his left foot, then quickly turned around from the other side and rushed to the baseline. The wonderful back-to-body scored the Portuguese Nationals fans at the scene and were extremely nervous, while Braga fans were full of confidence in winning the game.
Just looking at Tang Hong's condition, you will know that he will inevitably give the Portuguese National Team a headache today.
After splashing in front of the baseline, he looked up and observed the situation in the middle, Tang Hong decisively passed the ball.
The football seemed to be passing behind Lima, but Barbosa, who followed in the back row, shot was blocked by the defender and his legs to block the baseline, which was enough to make the Portuguese Nationals frightened.
Barbosa gave Tang Hong a thumbs up, and then showed regret on his face. The ball was not tricky enough to play, otherwise it would not be blocked by the opponent's players.
The Portuguese Nationals' counterattack was originally limited. If it weren't for the last-minute set-piece attack at the Municipal Stadium in the first leg, it would probably not be able to take away a victory from the away game.
Braga's elite troops will naturally do its best to block the Portuguese Nationals' counterattack.
Amorin's position was somewhat forward today, and Custodio, Eveton and Coello well controlled the fast attack counterattack launched by the Portuguese Nationals immediately.
In the 9th minute of the game, Lima and Viana fell into a quagmire in the cooperation of the frontcourt. After the football was stabbed by a defensive player, Barbosa stepped forward and passed the ball over the top and passed it diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.
Tang Hong quickly cut inward and stopped the ball in his chest, but when he stopped the ball, he was pushed by the defender chasing behind him with a hidden force, causing the football to bounce a little far away, and rushed to the bottom line quickly and passed the ball almost helplessly. Before Lima could get in place, the football flew to the sidewalk area on the other side.
Tang Hong turned around and made a push to the referee, but the referee would definitely not award a penalty kick.
Three minutes later, Eziyejile assisted from the left and quickly came down from the bottom to meet Tang Hong's pass when Tang Hong was surrounded by three people when he was involved in the ball.
After getting the ball, Tang Hong quickly cut in the penalty area and welcomed Eziyejile's cross. Facing the fast-rushing defender, Tang Hong raised his leg and shot a fake shot and wiped it over, and at the same time, he shook a better shooting angle and then pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal.
The Portuguese Nationals goalkeeper unexpectedly threw the ball with one hand and blocked the ball from the far post, which surprised all the fans!
The Portuguese Nationals fought hard to protect the city gates in the storm of Braga and their morale was greatly boosted.
Braga began to play more and more, and the offensive efficiency became less effective.
Seeing that the light rain was turning into heavy rain, Tang Hong no longer went deep into the penalty area. It was crowded and the advantage of ball control technology was difficult to exert. The field was slippery and some were muddy in the area, so wading through the ball was not a good choice.
Braga didn't even shoot for 10 minutes, because he tried hard to transport shells into the penalty area, but the Portuguese Nationals used the sea of people tactics to resolve the danger.
In the 29th minute of the game, Tang Hong pulled out from the edge of the penalty area to receive the pass from Coustodio. He pivoted the ball to start in the middle to get rid of it. Before the Portuguese Nationals' second defense reached the front, it was about 30 yards away from the goal. Tang Hong suddenly volleyed!
The football shot from the right foot was not high from the ground, but after falling into the penalty area and bounced down and accelerated by friction, the flight trajectory changed significantly. The goalkeeper of the Portuguese Nationals originally thought that he was sure to win, but the acceleration of the football bounced, which made him stunned. His fingertips slightly touched the football but to no avail. The football flew into the goal behind him against the inside of the right post!
Braga fans cheered wildly, and Tang Hongze also wiped his face, whether it was sweat or rain, raised his right fist and roared!
This is just the second goal that Tang Hong scored in the local cup, but it is crucial!
Yartim's serious and nervous expression also eased a lot.
There must be a price to go up to the main force. If you cannot achieve good results, it will be really not worth the loss.
Braga equalized the total score and only needed another goal to get a lead.
Even though the Portuguese Nationals were disappointed by conceding the ball, they remained calm and continued to tighten the fence and fight a defensive counterattack.
Tang Hong said to his teammates when the team returned to the backcourt position: "Today's long-range shooting effect will be better, but if you have to suppress it, don't hit the plane!"
Everyone nodded.
The more you transport shells into the Portuguese National Team’s penalty area, the more inefficient it is.
The game continued, and the Portuguese Nationals still defended and ordered Braga to frequently bombard the long-range outside the penalty area.
Amorin, Barbosa, and Viana took turns to play, and Tang Hong would try to kick off from time to time outside the penalty area.
The Portuguese Nationals goalkeeper was very busy, and his scalp was numb because of his constant high contacts. Fortunately, Braga's next long shots were not of high quality.
The only threat came from Viana's long-range shot that Lima followed up after he saved the shot. Fortunately, he had blocked the angle and directly held Lima's shot in his arms.
At the end of the first half, the two teams returned to the locker room.
The rain battle can easily accelerate physical energy consumption, and Yartim allows the team to try to resolve the battle 70 minutes ago!
Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Braga accelerated the pace and continued to attack the Portuguese Nationals!
Seeing that it was impossible to stop Braga's fast-paced offensive, the Portuguese Nationals' fouls became more frequent.
In the 55th minute of the game, Tang Hong encountered a flying tackle. Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not injured. The foul player was directly shown by the referee for dangerous actions!
Even if the referee's home fans are dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, they cannot change the result. They can only strengthen their defense through substitutions, trying to defend the draw in regular time, and finally fight for a penalty shootout!
But Braga did not give them a chance.
Four minutes later, Barbosa's long shot outside the penalty area was blocked and refracted by a defensive player and hit the goal post and bounced out.
Just when Braga fans were disappointed, Tang Hong pushed the bounced back football into the near corner of the goal on the left side of the penalty area!
Braga fans are in a state of madness!
The total score was rewritten to 2:1, Braga led the Portuguese Nationals with one goal!
The Portuguese National Team was in a flash, and the score was reversed after playing one less player. At this moment, they could only face the difficulties and take the initiative to attack and try to counterattack.
But just when they attacked, Braga had already shrunk his defense line and was about to end early. After all, this was just a cup game. The main players did not have to fight with their opponents and would have to win them a lot.
The focus is still on the weekend league.
As a result, the Portuguese Nationals were quickly attacked by Braga as soon as they were pushed out.
Braga, who beat one more man, almost all of his offensive advancements were passed on with one kick in an offensive environment with space.
Ezijejel made a straight pass from the middle field to the left.
Tang Hong scored a ball and found Barbosa who was following up quickly in the middle, and the latter sent a diagonal pass to Viana who was sprinting on the right.
Viana pushed forward two steps and sent out a straight pass. Lima successfully counterattacked in the middle and then dribbled into the penalty area and shot into the far corner of the goal!
Braga secures the victory!
The fans of the Portuguese Nationals home court were disappointed, but they could only accept the reality.
After Yartim scored this goal, he immediately made a substitution. The first one to replace him was Tang Hong, who scored two goals in this game.
The game entered garbage time. The Portuguese National Team, which had 11 players fighting, took the initiative to push out the hope of creating a miracle. What's more, there are fewer people to beat.
In the end, Braga defeated the Portuguese Nationals 3:0 away, and successfully turned the tables 3:1 to advance to the Portuguese Cup final!
After the game, everyone in the locker room sang and danced around bath towels, celebrating the comeback, and being excited to enter the finals!
Although the local cup competition is not valuable and even if you win the championship, Tang Hong is really excited to enter the finals for the first time in his career.
On the way back from the away game, Barbosa dragged Tang Hong and Bayano out of Porto.
I thought it was a time to spend money, but Tang Hong planned to scold Barbosa. How could he be greedy for pleasure at this critical moment of championship competition?
However, Barbosa took the two of them for a massage. The very regular massage was enough to make Tang Hong and Bayano feel comfortable under the skillful and powerful massage of the technician.
After the massage, I went to the hotel to check in and had a good rest.
The next day at noon, Tang Hong woke up and found that his phone was about to explode!
Sun Rou sent countless text messages, and it should be that she had not slept since three in the morning.
Chen Manhong also sent a message in the morning. What made Tang Hong laugh and cry was that Chen Manhong thought he had been kidnapped, and said in the text message that he would communicate first and then talk about ransom.
It seems that she has also watched a lot of TV series with Sun Rou.
Tang Hong quickly called back and reported his safety, then had lunch with his two teammates in Porto, and returned to Braga to go back to their homes.
When Tang Hong returned home, Sun Rou had already fallen asleep. She thought she had received a call from Tang Hong and went to rest with peace of mind. She was not angry about Tang Hong's failure to return home, and even had no complaints or complaints.
Tang Hong saw Chen Manhong sitting on the sofa in the living room with his laptop on his long legs raised. Tang Hong glanced at the computer screen. He could understand the full screen in English, but he was too troublesome and had no interest in exploring it.
Chen Manhong looked at Tang Hong and didn't speak, as if she wanted to ask where Tang Hong was going and couldn't open her mouth.
Tang Hong put down his backpack and sat on the sofa, saying to her: "Sorry, I worried you last night. On the way back, my teammates took me to Porto for massage. Uh, a green and healthy massage."
Chen Manhong's expression remained unchanged and she said something that almost made Tang Hong spit out a sip of water.
"Massage? I will."
