The Portuguese Super League has only reached the seventh round, but it can be said that the first half of the season is almost halfway through.

Braga are two points ahead of Porto and Benfica in the standings, a slim advantage, especially as Braga have yet to play against the big three.

Everyone knows that if Braga wants to compete for the championship, then at least they can't fall behind before the end of the league, even if they can lead the three giants, it may not mean that there is much advantage, but if the gap behind the three giants is obvious, they can basically declare the championship failure and come back next year.

So Braga are all in the league and a much better start than expected has been presented to them, and now they have to create a chance to compete for the title!

When Braga arrived at Leiria's game, Braga fans were surprised to find Tang Hong sitting on the bench again.

Tang Hong, who sat on the bench with his arms crossed over his chest, is still the focus, and the superstar who has already scored 10 goals in the league has begun to overshadow most of the stars of the Portuguese Super League!

If there was no call-up for Tang Hong by the Chinese team, Yaltium would naturally let Tang Hong start, but out of the protection and reasonable use of Tang Hong, Yaltium chose to let Tang Hong sit on the bench and look at the situation of the game before deciding whether he needs to play.

According to Yaltium's idea, Mo said that it is the Chinese team, even if Tang Hong's home country is most of Europe, then he will be the main force when he goes to the national team, and he will definitely play the whole game in the FIFA match day.

That's why there is this concern.

Given the team's recent momentum, he doesn't think there's anything to worry about.

But he probably didn't look at the results of Braga's visit to Leiria last season.

3:1.

Braga dominated the field, but Leiria frequently broke through Braga's goal with counter-attacks!

With 1 win and 5 losses in the new season of the Leiria League, it is indeed a mess of poor form.

Braga, on the other hand, are extremely strong with 5 wins and 1 draw.

However, Braga used too much force in this away game, and the team's attack was particularly impatient, and it was true that they had a huge advantage on the field, but they could not send the ball into the opponent's goal.

Leiria was still defending and counterattacking, and as the game approached 30 minutes, striker Anders broke the deadlock on the field by counterattacking to score for Leiria!

Braga fans collapsed!

Along with the team's impressive results, Braga fans are also discussing on social media, they imagine that Braga can achieve glory at the end of the season, and when talking about the current results, Tang Hong is inseparable from three sentences.

Even if Tang Hong did not start today, the focus of the fans' topic is still Tang Hong!

"What is Al Tim doing? Why don't you go to Tang Hong? ”

"He treats Tang Hong as a super substitute!"

"Now it's not a test of Yaltium, it's a test of Tang Hong, because Tang Hong was a draw when he appeared before, and now he is simply going to fall behind!"

"If you continue to play like this, sooner or later Yaltim will play himself out of class!"

"If it weren't for Tang Hong, would Braga be in the bottom five of the standings?"

You can't blame Braga's fans for being impetuous, after all, as a fan, you naturally want to see players you like and think have quality on the field.

Tang Hong was almost accustomed to staying on the pitch as a substitute to warm up at half-time.

He replaced Allan at the start of the second half, with Braga continuing to attack.

In the first half, he kept attacking wildly, but only 2 of his 12 shots hit the goal, and the forward line could not see a stable scoring point except for Tang Hong.

The Leiria home fans created a wave of terror in the hope that the team would end Braga's unbeaten run at home since the new season.

But the significantly smaller number of Braga fans also created a huge momentum!

Tang Hong ran aggressively after coming on the field, and today he was in a more advanced position, because the team pressed Leiria to attack, but he had to handle the ball quickly in a small space, so that his range of motion was not large, and the acceleration and turning became more frequent.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Tang Hong played a quick collision with the left fullback Eziegil in front of the penalty area and then stepped forward, and when he controlled the ball in front of the bottom line in the penalty area, he pulled the ball and changed direction to dodge the defender's lower foot to press, and then decisively picked the ball to the middle of the goal.

Lima ran over the head in the follow-up, and Viana's shot at the back post hit the defender and bounced off the line.

Yaltium was extremely disappointed, but the generals on the Braga field were getting more and more high!

4 minutes later, Barbosa passed the ball diagonally to Viana in the middle of the front, who passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Tang Hong quickly ran and cut to the goal, and shot directly at the goal!

His volley flew straight into the bottom right corner of the goal, and the Leiria goalkeeper made a meritorious service!

In front of everyone, the ball was saved from the bottom line!

Tang Hong didn't show any negative emotions, and pointed to the direction of the corner kick to let his teammates quickly take the corner kick.

Leiria's counterattack became more and more difficult to succeed, because Tang Hong's appearance obviously increased Braga's attacking continuity in the frontcourt, and by extension, the team's control of the field also improved a lot.

In the 67th minute of the game, Tang Hong just stopped the ball on the left side in front of the penalty area, and five Leiria players from all sides around him formed an encirclement against him!

Tang Hong faked a shot and sent a straight plug with his left foot, and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area, but Lima did not understand it, causing the goalkeeper to attack and confiscate the ball first.

Tang Hong shouted to Barbosa when he retreated to defend: "Pass the ball and plug it in!" ”

Barbosa was a little embarrassed again, and spread his hands to Tang Hong from a distance of five meters and said, "Isn't it okay to pass the ball to you?" ”

Tang Hong yelled at him a little angrily: "I'm PK with someone in front, and you pretend to be a turtle in the back!" ”

Balbosa had been beaten in the face, and in the past month, whether they admit it or not, they had suffered from Tang Hong's dependence to some extent.

I have begun to get used to passing the ball to Tang Hong, so the rest of the work depends on Tang Hong's play.

At least in the past, it seemed that there was no problem in doing so, but today Leiria set up a bus, and if Braga can't put more troops in the attack, and at the same time have more players running to contain and tear up the opponent's defense, then Tang Hong and Lima will definitely be in a situation of trapped beast fighting!

Braga began to press Leiria's defence more extremely, with the midfielders actively intervening.

In the 74th minute of the game, Tang Hong received Amorim's pass on the front side, stepped on a bicycle in front of the Leiria fullback and then turned the ball to cut inside to complete the breakthrough, and saw that he would fall into a situation where almost three people were attacked, Tang Hong decisively passed the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.

After the ball is played, he quickly cuts inside and into the box.

Barbosa followed up and saw that there was a block in front of him, so he sent the ball to Viana with a diagonal pass.

Viana hit the goal with his foot on the right in front of the penalty area, and his left-footed half-high shot bounced off the ground after flying into the box, and the Leria goalkeeper couldn't hold the ball in the horizontal pounce and made a save!

The football that rebounded in the penalty area was sent into the goal by Tang Hong, who arrived quickly, in the top corner of the small penalty area, with the arch of his foot!

After scoring the goal, Tang Hong ran directly into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms, and ran towards the midfield, looking extremely determined.

The morale of the Braga generals was boosted, and they ran quickly and retreated, racing against time to stage a reversal!

Leiria's home fans were devastated as the stadium erupted in earth-shattering shouts.

“HONG！”

“HONG！”

“HONG！”

It's like an invisible missile detonating in the stadium, and all you can hear is its sound!

Braga fans have absolutely reason to see only Tang Hong in their eyes now!

In seven rounds of the league, Tang Hong scored 11 goals!

The Leiria Army was distraught, not knowing whether to continue defending and get a 1-point or try to fight back and try to fight back for 3 points.

Braga has no other option anyway.

Veteran Nuno Gomez came on to replace Lima and Yaltim remains looking to step up the attack.

Braga, who were all in the thick of the team, pressed Leiria at the limit, who organised a superb counter-attack on the 81st minute.

Veteran goalkeeper Quem's attack at the last moment to block the danger was resolved.

Braga is in high spirits and every player is gritting their teeth to try to finish Leiria away before the final whistle!

In the 87th minute of the game, Tang Hong's hanging shot from outside the penalty area was lifted above the crossbar by the Leiria goalkeeper.

One minute later, Amorim's long-range shot from outside the box was deflected off the defender, and the ball came to the feet of Nuno Gomez, and the Portuguese veteran half-turned and volleyed the ball off the far post by about 10 centimeters and rolled off the line!

The Braga fans sighed!

Seeing that the game entered injury time, Bayano assisted on the right side and cooperated with Viana's pass to cross and cut the ball into the penalty area.

When the defender came to block, he decisively passed the ball back to the triangle position.

Barbosa had a chance to shoot with his feet, but there were too many defenders in front of him, and he calmly slotted the ball diagonally into the left side of the box at the crucial moment.

Tang Hong pressed the back line to stand, when Barbosa's pass came, Tang Hong took a step towards the goal with his right foot, and the Leiria defender immediately blocked his shooting line, but Tang Hong followed with his left foot to knock the ball back, and after shaking the angle in front of the opponent, he shot with his right foot!

The ball flew off the ground and went straight to the top right corner of the goal with a slight in-spin arc!

The Leiria goalkeeper was a step slower to save this time, after all, no one expected that Tang Hong would be able to continuously control the ball at his feet and change direction to complete the escape and then shoot when there was almost no space in the penalty area!

Braga fans, players, including coaches are holding their breath and their eyes are locked on the football!

When the ball slammed into the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal, the Braga bench boiled and the players roared like crazy!

The fans in the stands couldn't wait to raise their fists and shout "HONG!" ”

Tang Hong stood at the place where the shot was shot, his arms were spread out and his chin was raised slightly, with an extremely confident smile on his face, and his eyes exuded a charming light, as if he could light up the galaxy!
