180 Global Height!
Braga is still trying to activate Tang Hong's threat, but the effect is not ideal.
In the 15th minute of the game, Lima and Barbosa were close to Tang Hong, and when the three tried to carry out a triangular pass with a small range of cooperation, Tang Hong was blocked by Lamy, who returned to the defense in time, and then passed the ball back to goalkeeper Alves first.
Tang Hong stopped and turned back to defend himself, and at the same time showed a tangled expression to Balbosa.
It doesn't work at all.
The more people came, the easier it was for Valencia to see through Braga's attacking intentions.
If it is one-on-one, there may be the possibility of individual ability to crush through the defensive line, but in the overall offensive and defensive duel, the attacker should have made better use of the width of the field, and now Braga is doing the opposite and compressing it locally, which is tantamount to digging a self-grave!
In the 19th minute of the game, Valencia attacked on the left side, and Topal passed the ball in the middle to find Jonas in the front, although the latter and Soldado are both playing forwards today, but it is obvious that Jonas has a greater range of activities and the role of tandem attacks is also very prominent.
Jonas knocked the ball diagonally back to Tino Costa, and when Barbosa intercepted Tino Costa, he pulled the ball and sent a precise pass to the right.
Fedooli ran in advance and cut inside and stopped and shot to the right in front of the penalty area!
The shot was powerful and the angle was quite tricky.
Veteran goalkeeper tried his best to cross the limit and block the ball to the flank.
The Municipal Stadium resounded with exclamations.
As Bayano tried to clear the ball, Alba scrambled the ball away from him and dribbled directly into the left flank of the penalty area.
At this moment, Braga, who is adjusting the defense, has little ability to resist at all, Everton is killing Alba, Coelho subconsciously follows Soldado, and Alba still passes the ball back to the triangle.
Jonas got rid of Custodio and cut forward to get into the penalty area and shoot with his foot!
The football flew straight to the bottom left corner of the goal, similar to the angle of Feghouli's long-range shot just now, and this time the old goalkeeper who had just gotten up was unable to return to the sky, and the save was obviously slow!
When the ball rolled into the Braga goal, the Valencia fans cheered passionately, while the Braga fans fell silent.
"Jonas shoots hard! Alba's assist!
Valencia extend their lead on the road!
They were in fantastic form today at the Municipal Stadium, constantly putting pressure on the Braga defence, giving Braga a taste of La Liga and showing the crowd the charm of Spanish football!
With the score down and two away goals, is Braga's Europa League run to the semi-finals?
Although there is still plenty of time, there is no threat from Braga in the offensive end at the moment! ”
Unai Emery raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines, and Yaltim bowed his head in disappointment.
In fact, even if Braga cannot reach the Europa League final, it will not affect the future of Artim in the team, and it can only be said that he has not been able to make a near-perfect answer on an excellent report card.
Tang Hong, who was standing in the middle circle, shook his head slightly and said to himself: "How can you be so fierce!" ”
Valencia broke Braga's defense on the right flank!
Although it was Soldado and Jonas who scored goals, Alba was still a key player in the first 20 minutes of the game, despite the overall performance!
The left-sided Tianzun of Barcelona for the next decade does have that quality.
Especially when Braga didn't put pressure on him defensively at all, allowing him to concentrate on the offensive end.
Before kick-off, Tang Hong stepped on the football and gestured to Barbosa, saying: "Don't hit my side again, focus on the right side!" Make the most of the width of the field and tear their defenses! Just as if I didn't exist! ”
Barbosa pondered for a few seconds when he heard this, and suddenly understood Tang Hong's intentions.
The space on the pitch is fixed, but how to make the best use of it depends on the team's offensive and defensive confrontations.
Like in the first 20 minutes of the game, they kept shrinking their attacking space!
Tang Hong can't play a threat on the left side, and now once the strong attack on the right side can get good results, then Tang Hong himself can play more space, not only limited to the left side, but also in the middle of the more space.
After all, Valencia is no more numerous than them.
Braga's defensive adjustments were rigid after kick-off, with the defence dropping back further and compressing the space of 30 yards in front of goal.
Because the top defense is easy to be broken by Valencia's fast, delicate and smooth passing and cutting cooperation, this has been proven, and the outside defense can also be abandoned, Bayano can't prevent Alba for all to see!
Valencia are already two goals ahead and will definitely slow down in tempo, even if they want to play Braga on the counter-attack.
Braga didn't put more troops into attack, and even when they were behind at home, they knew they would die faster if they were attacking now.
However, the adjustment on the offensive end still had some effect.
In the 25th minute of the game, Tang Hong received a pass from Amorim on the left side of the middle line, he didn't stop the ball at all, and directly sent the ball to the right side with a diagonal pass.
Viana stepped forward quickly and burst forward, but Topal immediately intercepted him, and Viana and Lima completed a collision with the wall before continuing forward.
Since Valencia played in a 352 formation, Viana was not harassed from the flanks after hitting the right side of the penalty area and then passing the ball to Lima, who followed up in the middle.
Lima saw that Rami was coming to block it head-on, and he took a step to adjust the ball and hit a long shot!
The long-range shot at least hit the back of the net, and even if it was confiscated by Alves, it gave hope to the Braga.
There was also applause in the stands as Braga fans encouraged the team.
In the 29th minute of the game, Valencia's forward attack came smoothly from the side to the front area of the bottom line outside the penalty area, Alba did not try to break through, looked at the front of the penalty area, due to the obvious retreat of the Braga defense, Custodio and Amorim maintained a close connection with the back line, and the inverted triangle return pass play was not easy to threaten in the context of no offensive depth advantage or exposing enough distance and space between the opponent's defense.
Alba eventually opted for a cross.
Everton won in a goalmouth scramble, and Braga was quick to attack after his header cleared.
Tang Hong ran aggressively on the left flank, as if to catch up with Valencia, who still kept him under tight seals on this side.
But Barbosa played the ball straight to the front from the middle of the back.
Lima feigned a pass when Topal came to press, but pulled the ball and turned to push forward.
As he advanced, Tang Hong also quickly got rid of the close-quarters marking from Mathieu in the run.
Ricardo Costa was deployed in the middle, Lamy was looking to intercept Lima head-on, and Victor Luiz had to passively return to the middle of the box.
Seeing Rami in front of him, Lima decisively crossed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.
Viana ran quickly and cut inside to meet the ball and shoot at goal, but kicked the ball back at his feet to make Viktor Luiz, who came to press, miss, and Viana, who adjusted to his left foot, then hit a powerful shot on the spot!
The ball flies straight to the bottom left of the goal.
Valencia goalkeeper Alves made a cross save and the ball bounced off the left rib of the box.
Just as Ricardo Costa tried to clear the ball, a figure suddenly arrived and swept the ball in the direction of the goal!
Tang Hong!
Riccardo Costa, despite having regained his strength, still kicked Tang Hong's thigh!
After Tang Hong saw the football fly into the lower left corner of the goal, he turned sideways and touched his thigh, gritted his teeth, and showed a painful look.
The Municipal Stadium resounded with earth-shattering cheers for the first time in a long time!
The home fans are thrilled with the goal!
"The ball is in! Tang Hong scored a goal! The critical moment of Braga still depends on Tang Hong!
This time, Tang Hong was injured and scored in the penalty area, showing the striker's desire to score and fighting spirit!
Braga's attacking style also seems to have changed in the last 10 minutes, and they didn't pass the ball to Tang Hong, and the goal did have some chances.
Viana's shot was blocked by Alves, and just on the running line of Tang Hong, who was rushing into the penalty area, he decisively put a tackle and swept the ball into the goal!
To be precise, the other players of Braga are also playing their part and making contributions.
That's what a team should look like!
The suspense of the game is back, Valencia's lead has been narrowed, and it is difficult to predict what will happen next in the game!
Braga 1: Valencia 2! ”
Ricardo Costa told the referee that he had relented and did not mean to kick Tang Hong.
And Tang Hong had already stood up before the team doctor arrived, pulled up his shorts and saw that there were two deep scars on the side of his thigh, and blood oozed out of them.
It was slashed out of Ricardo Costa's sneakers.
Seeing the blood and about to leave the field to clean, Tang Hong followed the team doctor out of the sidelines, took off his shorts without hesitation, he sat on the ground wearing only underwear and asked the team doctor to clean the wound and bandage it quickly, assistant coach Pires trotted over and took a pair of clean shorts for Tang Hong to put on.
When Tang Hong stood up and walked back into the arena, the Braga fans in the stadium greeted him with long-lasting applause.
It's normal to get a little skin injury when you play football, and it's nothing to make a fuss about even a little blood.
Tang Hong gave a thumbs up to his teammates when he trotted back to his own half, just now he was actually more like picking up a leak, the key is that his teammates are threatening on the offensive end.
The season has come to an end, although Braga's biggest reliance is still Tang Hong, but it is definitely impossible to say that other players are not a little confident.
This battle against Valencia really elevates the war landscape to a team level!
Not only will Braga be able to defend well, but the performance of more players on the offensive end will also determine the trend of the game!
