173 Championship Battle!
Tang Hong was about to go to bed and rest when he received a call from Mendes.
"Hong, I just had a phone call with Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, he is interested in you, you have one more option in the summer, he asked me for your contact information, I want to communicate with you personally, maybe just these days, you can have a good chat with him."
Tang Hong was really a little surprised, but he was safe when he came.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he hung up Mendes's phone, an unfamiliar number called in.
"Hello, I'm Jose Mourinho."
"Hello, I'm Tang Hong, Jorge just told me that you would contact me, I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"Tonight's Braga game just ended, I don't think you should have rested so early, I'm sorry if I bothered you."
"It's okay, I haven't slept yet."
Of course, Tang Hong and Mourinho can communicate easily in Portuguese, without the slightest barrier.
Tang Hong, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was more curious about what Mourinho wanted to communicate with him.
It stands to reason that even if Real Madrid has the idea of recruiting geniuses early, it will definitely not be Mourinho who will come forward, Mourinho's style is to come and fight, and there are players in the team.
This season, Real Madrid has set off a Muslim-style anti-counter-shock in European football, whether it is the Champions League or La Liga, the most shining star is naturally Ronaldo, and it happens that from the position that Tang Hong is playing now, they are in the same position, both playing left winger.
Therefore, Real Madrid did not introduce Tang Hong's tactics and role needs.
Mourinho told Tang Hong on the phone: "I just watched Braga against Schalke 04 on TV and you obviously had reservations in the game, I think it was for the title race against Porto at the weekend.
Even if you didn't play to your full potential, I was still impressed with your performance in the game, combined with the way you've scored goals in Portugal over the last few months, and the success rate of your passes, Tang Hong, I think you can come to Real Madrid. ”
Tang Hong lay on his back on the bed and said with a slight surprise on the phone: "Do you think I can go to Real Madrid?" ”
"That's right, I have a bold idea."
"You have a bold idea?"
'I want you to come to Real Madrid and try to play in an attacking midfield position.
"You want me to play as an attacking midfielder at Real Madrid?"
"That's right, you've shown great ability in terms of speed, dribbling, breaking, passing vision, etc., and when you come to Real Madrid, you'll be the fastest attacking combination in the world with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria!"
"I form the fastest attacking combination with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Di Maria?"
"Yes, I'm sure you're going to have wonderful chemistry that together can destroy all the teams' defenses, what do you think of that plan?"
"I think the plan is just fantastic, it's a little late, I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep, goodbye."
"Uh......"
Tang Hong hung up the phone, lay on the bed and closed his eyes and laughed.
It is unlikely that Real Madrid will give up the winger position to Tang Hong, and it is not a whim for Mourinho to transform him into a midfielder or an attacking midfielder.
Even if Real Madrid now has No. 10 Ozil, Ozil's ability to play tough battles is obvious to all, and compared to Tang Hong, it is obviously a little far behind in speed and passing ability.
Real Madrid have been strengthening their midfield positions since Florentino's second arrival, from Kaka to Mesut Ozil, with the former failing to live up to expectations due to injury and the latter being a decent fit for the time being.
But if the team is in the spirit of making it stronger, more competitive, or even dominant, then if you analyze each position, there are not many options that can be strengthened.
Tang Hong came into Mourinho's sight by chance, and his proposed renovation plan may be suitable for Real Madrid, but Tang Hong is not interested.
Not to mention whether you can adapt to Real Madrid and really play as a striker, even if you adapt, you will change your positioning and role on the pitch for a long time.
The so-called wonderful team chemistry is actually to put it bluntly, it is to constantly feed Ronaldo cakes, let Ronaldo blow up the goal, that's all.
Back in the summer of last year, if he could go to Real Madrid, he would be willing to accept any transformation, any arrangement.
But now in Braga is trying to break Yasard's single-season goal record in Portugal, of course, he is not willing to make a wedding dress for others, his excitement after every goal on the pitch, that sense of satisfaction and accomplishment is incomparable, especially when he can personally dominate the team's victory, the experience he can get on the pitch and his personal status in the team are absolutely special.
Switching to an attacking midfielder for Real Madrid?
Sorry, he doesn't have a dream of being a child.
......
Braga knocked out Schalke 04 before facing La Liga's Valencia in the semi-finals of the Europa League for a ticket to this season's Europa League final.
The semi-finals will be played in mid-to-late April, with the pressure on Braga's schedule easing.
And they will also have the most important title battle in the league this season!
On Sunday night, Braga host Porto!
Tickets for this season's final Premier League matchup were hard to come by, with the Municipal Stadium nearly full half an hour before the game.
When the players of the two teams warmed up, Braga fans in the stands waved huge team flags, which could be seen everywhere, all the red and white home colors made the stands very bright, and some fans could also be seen painting their faces as red and white status symbols, holding up slogans, homemade championship trophies, and chanting Braga cheers.
The atmosphere was so hot that it infected every player before the game even began.
When Tang Hong and the others returned to the locker room before the game for final preparations, Braga's president Salvador personally came to the locker room and gave an impassioned speech.
In a word: the time of Braga has arrived!
Even if many people know that this is likely to be a flash in the pan, unless the club can keep Tang Hong in the summer, no one will think about the situation in two months at this time, as long as they win Porto today, the league title is nine out of ten, and they will enjoy the rich rewards and rewards of a season of hard work!
When the starters of the two teams came on the field, the scene resounded with deafening cheers, and the players on both sides were in high spirits.
Porto's players are a little more serious, with star manager Victor Pereira still in a heroic posture with his armband wrapped around his armband, but judging the results of his work in Porto at the end of a season is naturally not satisfactory to the club's board, the fans and even the team itself.
There is no progress in Europe, the league's fate hangs by a thread, the Portuguese Cup is irrelevant to reach the final, and the Portuguese League Cup is negligible.
If there's anything that can help him turn that around and change his report card for the better, then the only way to beat Braga at the Municipal Stadium today is to expect Braga to capsize in the last four rounds of the league and Porto defend their title!
Most people know that the likelihood of this happening is very low, but it is not hopeless.
"Good evening friends, tonight at the Braga Municipal Stadium will be a battle for the top spot in the 26th round of the 2011-2012 Portuguese Premier League, and it is also widely believed that this season will determine the suspense of the championship!
Braga currently leads the standings with 66 points, followed by Porto with 60 points.
Third-placed Benfica have already dropped out of contention for the title as they are already 11 points behind Braga.
If Braga can stay away from losing at home to Porto today, it will be almost certain that Braga will win the first Portuguese top-flight title in the club's history, as there are only four league games left.
And Porto must beat Braga to keep their hopes of defending their title alive.
In the first half of the season, Porto came back from behind to beat Braga 3-2 at the Stadio de Dragons, and it was an impressive game, so will they get their revenge at home today? Let's wait and see!
Braga started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Quem.
Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Ezigile.
Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.
Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.
Porto started today with the same 433.
Goalkeeper: Elton.
Defenders: McConn, Otamendi, Sapunaru, Pereira.
Midfielders: Devoor, Moutinho, Gonzalez.
Forwards: Hulk, Kleber, James Rodriguez.
The game is about to start and I have a hunch that there will be a battle at the Municipal Stadium today! ”
The players of both teams completed the pre-match kick-off ceremony and cheered each other on.
Yaltium stood still, still hiding his inner tension in calm.
He certainly won't be able to really relax until the championship is in his hands.
If you want to be as comfortable as a famous coach, I am afraid that you still need to experience and grow.
Victor Pereira is standing on the sidelines with his arms crossed his chest, which is really quite a bit of a male model, but if Porto ends up empty, I am afraid that he will not be left with much praise except for being handsome.
Football stadiums have always been judged only by success or failure.
With the referee's whistle, the championship battle between Braga and Porto kicked off in the huge cheering momentum!
Braga were determined to defend and counter-attack at home, but every player was given a defensive task.
Tang Hong, Lima and Viana launched a quick counter-attack on the Porto midfielder behind the center circle, and when Porto's first wave of attack failed to succeed, Devoor's pass to James Rodriguez was tackled by Bayano, Braga's counterattack broke out immediately.
The forward trio quickly ran in an orderly manner, Tang Hong found that McCone had stuck to him when he received a pass from Barbosa, and could only pass to Lima to try to continue the attack, but Lima made a mistake in passing to Viana under the interference of central defender Sapunaru.
The pace of the decisive battle was very fast, but both teams made more mistakes after the opening!
