064 Life and Death Battle
"My name is Tang Hong, and I scored four goals in 45 minutes!"
Portugal's three major sports media frantically reported Braga's 4-0 victory over Maritimo, and "Football Newspaper" even made the headline of the celebration picture of Tang Hong touching his hands and listening to cheers!
scored a hat-trick in his career debut, and the director's team won a big victory, Tang Hong was a blockbuster in Portugal!
In the same round of the competition, Banba Porto scored three goals in a row to complete the reversal and win after conceding one goal at home, and Brazilian striker Hulk scored twice and tied for the top spot with Tang Hong in the scorer list!
Benfica also beat Ferenc 3-1 at home, while Sporting Lisbon drew a goalless draw away from home to Belamar.
The new season has only just begun, and the gap will not be obvious, but considering that the Portuguese Super League title race is about who can make fewer mistakes, Sporting Lisbon is enough to give Porto four points down after two rounds.
Tang Hong did not change because of the wonderful performance of his debut, but the Braga club was expecting to sign a new contract with him, triple his salary, so that he could earn 6,000 euros a month, and at the same time have generous reward conditions, such as 1,000 euros for scoring a goal, 500 euros for an assist, 200 euros more for a win, and an additional 30,000 euros when he reaches 10 goals in the season, etc.
This contract is very particular, giving a not high base salary, but better reward terms, if Tang Hong is just a flash in the pan, he will run out of the contract period is nothing more than to make Braga spend less than 500,000 euros, but if he performs well, Tang Hong can get a much higher return, then it also means that his value will rise in the future will also make Braga have a rich return.
Tang Hong did not sign the new contract because it required him to sign a minimum of four years, which was originally expected to be five years.
The club did not force it, and the season has just begun, and if Tang Hong's performance can be observed later, if he can continue to excel, they will increase the contract conditions again.
After entering the competition period, the training intensity began to decrease significantly, and the hardest stage was naturally in the preparation stage of the offseason, and the training intensity during the competition period was maintained at a level that could make the players feel a little pressure, and the extra energy of the players could be added to the training by themselves.
Each club's training schedule will vary in intensity and content, at least Braga, and with half of the squad made up of Brazilian players, it is not uncommon for some devilish coaches to increase the intensity of their training to the point where they are overwhelmed by the need to bring out the best in their players.
Tang Hong will go to learn to drive during the break after the race day, he wants to get a Portuguese driver's license when he reaches the age of 18, and by the way he will get an international driver's license, he can drive, Portugal and China are the same left rudder, but there is no difference in driving habits, but a very important point in the driver's license test is the understanding of local traffic rules, so Tang Hong often goes to learn to drive is often just a formality, touch two cars to complete the training content is to learn traffic laws and regulations, language is still the biggest problem, Most laws and regulations are just common sense questions in the context of basic understanding of the law, but Tang Hong needs to learn more Portuguese in this area if he needs to understand the questions when he goes to the exam.
After the club training on weekdays, Tang Hong would return to the villa to receive additional training from Wise, either one-on-one control breakthrough skills, or Wise passed the ball to him, and he repeatedly practiced direct shooting or direct free kick shooting in sports.
At this stage, the strengthening and improvement of physical fitness is secondary.
Braga drew 0-0 at home to Swiss Super League powerhouses in the first leg of the Europa League qualifying round, and in order to be in better shape in the second leg to challenge the youngsters, Braga flew to Bern, Switzerland on Wednesday evening, stayed at the hotel for a night's rest, and will play the second leg of the Europa League qualifying round at the Swiss Capital Stadium on Thursday evening!
Going out to play and staying in a hotel, Tang Hong is in the same room as Portugal's 23-year-old striker Ukara.
During the evening break, Ukara saw Tang Hong using his tablet to watch some of the highlights of the five major leagues, and he asked curiously, "Did you learn through these videos?" ”
Tang Hong shook his head at him and said, "No, I'm just looking at the environment and effect of these people's breakthroughs, assuming that I am what they will do and whether there is a better choice." ”
Ukara was surprised: "Didn't you think that the stronger the team, the more important it is? ”
Tang Hong sighed lightly: "I have thought about it, and it is true, but if you want to be the best player, you can't just expect to be a team player. ”
'Well, I'd rather be an important player in the team and score goals.'
Tang Hong didn't communicate much with Ukara, maybe Ukara didn't realize what caused the situation after the Brazilian player as a Portuguese striker, and the personal skill gap is definitely not negligible.
The next day Braga recuperated in the hotel, and returned to the hotel in the afternoon to train for nearly two hours, they did not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery of Bern, maybe for people who stay in Europe for a long time, in fact, the scenery of many different countries and cities is the same, after all, Europe is not big, cultural exchanges and mutual influence throughout the history of Europe, so whether it is a cultural landscape or a place of interest, just look at the appearance is similar, the difference is just the story behind the variety.
Capital Stadium in Bern, Switzerland.
At 7pm, the stadium was packed, and young fans were naturally expecting to see the team march to the Europa League at home, with fewer than 2,000 Braga fans flying flags in the visitors' stands.
Tang Hong continued to be in the squad today, otherwise he would not have come to Bern with the team, but he continued to sit on the bench.
Even if Al Tim is already impressed with Tang Hong, he must also take into account Tang Hong's age before he is 18 years old, and now keeping Tang Hong as a backhand, letting him take a look at the game situation on the field off the field will also help him a lot after coming off the bench.
Some players sit on the bench just waiting for the opportunity, but some players sit on the bench but will judge the situation, analyze the situation on the field, if there is a chance to play, then they can play well without the coach saying much, Tang Hong obviously belongs to the latter.
He cherishes every opportunity, just like Van der Heer once said to him, he has to prove himself, once is not enough, twice is not enough, continue to prove his strength and value many times, and can make contributions, so that he can really gain a foothold in Braga and occupy a main position!
The atmosphere at home for the young people is frenetic, probably because of the European competition plus the battle of life and death, and the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands is very high.
Both teams started today in a 433 formation.
Most of the young players in the squad are Swiss nationals, and most of them are Swiss national team internationals.
Goalkeeper: Verfley.
Defenders: Tsvelotic, Afuert, Veskovacz, Spitcher.
Midfielders: Fanelud, Hiberbauer, Rajmondi.
Forwards: Majorka, Bienvenu, Ben Khalifa.
Braga started today with a few changes to last weekend's league players.
Goalkeeper: Quem.
Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Paulo Vinicius, Eziegil.
Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.
Forwards: Viana, Lima, Alan.
Paulo Vinicius made an unexpected start at the back in order to improve the flexibility of the back line, and the young man was more aggressive and fast on the wing.
The increased control in midfield is obvious, while Viana plays as a right winger to improve the ability to create chances up front.
The game kicked off with the home fans cheering on and cheering.
Both teams started the game with some contemplation, but after 15 minutes the youngsters started to pick up the pace.
They are good at fast attacks on the wings, not only the two wingers are fast, but the two players in the midfield are also very frequent in the running position to pick up and even go down and forward, which makes Braga very passive when defending, and there are constant dangers in front of the goal!
Large forces dragged at the back, and counter-attacking attacks often died before they could reach the penalty area due to the tempo behind the youngsters.
Throughout the first half, Braga was in front of goal, but fortunately, Everton and Vinicius made frequent clearances, and had two near-world-class close-range blocks to keep the goal intact.
Braga's attack was passive and failed to create a clear threat, with only two shots from goal range.
At the end of the first half, Yaltium frowned and wanted to go back to the locker room, but just took a step but stopped and turned around and said to Tang Hong, who also got up and walked towards the player's tunnel: "You stay in the field to warm up." ”
Tang Hong did not enter the dressing room at halftime in two consecutive games, he warmed up in the field wearing a substitute vest, and substitute goalkeeper Bony accompanied him to pass the ball to find the ball.
