Bucharest, Romania.

The first half of the Europa League final was generally dull, and Atletico Madrid had good overall skills, but there were not many exciting individual performances.

Braga didn't have a good chance to fight back, and Tang Hong didn't have room to play if he wanted to make a little noise.

In the 35th minute of the game, when Tang Hong received a through pass from Ezigil on the left side of the midfield, Alda Turan rushed to the tackle when Tang Hong crossed the ball into the middle of the field, although Tang Hong did not cause substantial damage, but was shown a yellow card by the referee for his too dangerous action.

Tang Hong dodged and rolled to the ground in time to stand up, and whispered beside Alda Turan: "If you make similar moves again, I will definitely not give up." ”

When Alda Turan heard this, he was right on the head.

I'm not afraid that you have fire, I'm afraid that you won't take the bait!

Three minutes later, when Tang Hong met again on the wing, Alda Turan rushed first and knocked Tang Hong out of the sideline with dark energy in the physical confrontation, while also staring at him provocatively for a long time.

Tang Hong smiled contemptuously at him when he stood up, the referee would definitely not show yellow cards to the same player one after another, at least Alda Turan did foul just now, but it was not yet to the scale of the card.

It looks like the two are a bit of a rivalry.

In fact, Tang Hong has not lost his focus on the game in the overall situation on the field, but in the context of Atletico Madrid's failure to take the initiative to press the attack, Braga does not have a good counterattack environment and opportunities, which is actually very common in football games.

Even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two great stars who score goals, don't necessarily get opportunities in every game.

At this time, Tang Hong would rather interfere with the opponent, Alda Turan thought that Tang Hong was angered by him, but Tang Hong saw this as a way to maneuver with Atletico Madrid's local defense.

At the same time, on the local battlefield of Braga's backfield, Braga and Atletico Madrid's gunpowder smell is getting stronger and stronger, and in the 41st minute of the game, Adrian was put to the ground by Custodio in the breakthrough of the left side of the inward cut, and Custodio received a yellow card.

Adrian returned to the pitch after receiving treatment from the team doctor.

When the two were still two meters apart, Tang Hong picked up his right foot and kicked the ball to the backcourt, the action was a bit big, and it looked like he was going to shoot the ball directly at Turan, which startled Turan and subconsciously turned his back to dodge.

Tang Hong kicked the ball in the air and cut the ball crosswise to complete the escape.

Alda Tula found out that he had been deceived and ran back in a frenzy, but it was obvious that he could not catch up with Tang Hong.

When Gabi blocked in front of Tang Hong, Tang Hong decisively crossed the ball diagonally to the right of the front court.

Viana ran forward and stopped and sent the ball back to Lima without waiting for Suarez to get close.

Lima turned the ball laterally under Godin's defence and then scrambled to shoot.

The ball flew straight into the middle of the goal, bounced off the ground and was held by Courtois.

There is no threat.

Barbosa called Tang Hong in the backcourt, and after making a gesture, he only got Tang Hong's pressing hand.

Barbosa's meaning is clear, as before, instead of letting Tang Hong take on the task of organizing in the midfield, it is better for him to go to the front and wait for opportunities.

Tang Hong thought it was not the right time.

At the very least, he can play a role in Atletico Madrid, and he's not sure if he'll get a great chance if he gets up front.

You must know that the intensity of Atletico Madrid's midfield is much stronger than Valencia, and even stronger than Manchester United!

Neutral fans may be disappointed when the first half comes to an end, and a relatively utilitarian game is really not much to watch.

Atletico Madrid fans and Braga fans looked a little heavy.

The stalemate of the game, the stalemate of the situation, this kind of game feels like a goal to determine the winner, whoever scores first will win the final victory!

And now it's impossible to see who has a chance to win the championship!

After the midfielder returned to the locker room, Yaltim spoke to everyone in the middle of the field, asking everyone to be patient and at the same time to defend well!

Although he did not say it explicitly, the Braga generals could vaguely understand what Yaltim meant.

They have to be ready for extra time and even a penalty shoot-out!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Atletico Madrid took the lead and immediately instigated the attack, when Barbosa was about to be passed by Diego, he decisively chose to turn and pull the foul, the referee blew the whistle for a foul on Barbosa, and then showed him a yellow card.

Two minutes later, when Tang Hong received Amorim's pass from the left side of the center circle, he knocked the ball directly behind him and dribbled to the side, Alda Turan came from behind, Tang Hong stopped the ball and turned to let the opponent rush by.

Alda Turan stopped sharply and turned around to intercept Tang Hong, Tang Hong once again made a big move, Alda Turan thought that Tang Hong was going to cheat him again, so he resolutely grabbed it!

But in the next second, bang!

Tang Hong's ball hit Alda Turan in the ribs and bounced off the touchline.

Alda Turan fell to the ground and covered the part that was hit, Tang Hong ran directly out of the sideline to throw the sideline ball, and saw Alda Turan fall to the ground and could only throw the ball in place and walked into the field.

Alda Turan gritted his teeth in severe pain, although he felt that Tang Hong did it on purpose, but there was no evidence.

After all, Lima was running in front of him, and Tang Hong's long pass was understandable.

Simeone stood on the sidelines with a solemn expression.

From the beginning of the game to now, Braga's most threatening is Tang Hong, his possession of the ball is the highest in the game, but he has hardly penetrated into the key areas of Atletico Madrid's defense, which means that Atletico Madrid's overall defense minimizes his threat!

Looking at Braga's posture, he played defensive counterattacks with peace of mind, and there was no sign of pressure at all.

Maybe the three giants of the Portuguese Super League will not play like this in the face of Atletico Madrid, but Braga does have self-knowledge, their overall strength is not as good as Atletico Madrid, and there was a painful experience of losing in the Europa League final last year, and it is understandable that this year it is extra cautious to play the final.

But if the game is allowed to continue like this, the two teams will seem to be playing fiercely but there is no real threat.

Would Atletico Madrid be willing to play extra time or a penalty shoot-out against Braga?

Simeone has always been very tolerant, which is a necessary mental quality for a team to be able to play a good defensive counterattack.

Especially against strong teams!

But to say that the team that is not as good as itself has to endure until the final stage of the game, this is a bit of a suspicion of self-defeating martial arts.

Simeone plans to watch for another ten minutes, and if Braga really stays like this, then Atletico Madrid can blow the horn of attack and attack for a while!

In the 52nd minute of the game, after Alda Turan received a pass from Diego on the right side of the front, he just took two steps forward but was stabbed off by Tang Hong from behind him with a shovel, and then he tripped and fell to the ground!

Falling on the ground was a little embarrassed, Tang Hong immediately got up after the tackle and prepared to rush forward, at this time the referee blew the whistle, Tang Hong helplessly pointed to the place where he tackled the ball and shouted to the referee: "I shoveled the ball first, and it has nothing to do with me when he falls!" ”

But the referee ignored him, and Alda Turan stood up with a slightly gloomy expression.

Anyone can see that the-for-tat between Tang Hong and Alda Turan is about to get out of control!

Al Tim had to gesture to Tang Hong frequently on the sidelines to let him suppress his anger and control his emotions!

Simone likes to see that if Tang Hong behaves irrationally because of this, maybe a henchman Rhubarb will disappear!

In the 55th minute of the game, Falcao's long-range shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Quem.

Two minutes later, Tang Hong was brought to the ground when he ran to the center circle to receive a return pass from Lima and pulled the ball away from Suarez.

Tang Hong sat on the ground and looked at the referee, the other party did not take out the cards, Tang Hong smiled and did not get entangled.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Diego knocked the ball back to Suarez who assisted after colliding with Adrian in the front court, Viana stepped forward to block and kicked the opponent down with too big a move, and the referee showed Viana a yellow card warning to try to control the emotions of the players of both teams and avoid more outrageous actions.

Simeone was calm on the sidelines, like a calm beast.

The smell of gunpowder on the field was very strong, and Braga looked impetuous.

This is definitely good news for Atletico Madrid.

Because Atletico Madrid is always able to be calmer than their opponents in such a situation that tends to or falls into chaos, his disciples know that this is the perfect time for Atletico Madrid to see the best of things!

Simeone waved his hand on the sidelines, Atletico Madrid, attack!

When Juanfran and Felipe provided more support on the flanks, and Suarez and Gabi also assisted more frequently and quickly to the front of the Braga penalty area, Tang Hong did not retreat, but moved forward.

The two sides advance and retreat, Tang Hong's position is very close to the opponent's guard line, if it starts, it will press the offside line to form a good opportunity!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Gabi's long-range shot from outside the box was blocked by Quem, and Adrian's follow-up shot into the box was blocked by Everton with his body.

Viana saw Suarez come up directly and press fiercely when he controlled the ball in the front of the penalty area, and he decisively sent the ball short to the side to find Bayano, even so, he was put to the ground from behind by Suarez!

The referee was going to blow for Suarez for a foul, which was what Atletico Madrid wanted most, but Bayano sent the ball to the back of the centre circle with a diagonal pass.

When the referee saw Lima stop the ball, he raised his hand to signal that the attack was advantageous, and did not stop the game!

Simone's face suddenly changed!

Because after Lima knocked the ball back, Barbosa rushed up and sent the ball directly over the top diagonal pass to the left side of the field.

And Tang Hong has already started on the left side of the front court!

Who is the wolf and who is the sheep!
