118 Storm Attack!

Porto's home game against Braga was about to begin, with both teams in their respective halves lined up, with Braga's players clapping each other's morale and looking even more eager to win.

With the referee's whistle, the game kicked off in the atmosphere of passionate cheering of the fans.

Porto kicked off the ball first and they quickly launched a fast attack, Moutinho stopped the ball in the middle of the field and was fiercely pressed by Barbosa from behind, Moutinho changed direction to protect the ball, but was still tripped by Barbosa's outstretched leg.

The referee whistled for a halt to the game, pointing his finger at Barbosa for a verbal warning.

Barbosa nodded back.

This game is bound to be a battle for every inch of land!

Porto launched a free-kick from the left and James Rodriguez put pressure on him from the flank as James Rodriguez controlled the ball in front of Bayano.

James Rodriguez smashed the ball with his right foot and quickly passed the ball with his left foot, and full-back Pereira quickly pressed the ball on the edge and stopped the ball in front of the baseline before sending it away.

Hulk tried to head the ball in the middle of the goal, he collided with Everton in the air, and the ball flew bizarrely!

Everton was a little dizzy after landing, and goalkeeper stepped out to catch the ball from the air before Hulk's second header.

Hulk then ran into and was whistled for a foul by the referee.

The level of confrontation after the opening game also skyrocketed.

Braga launched a quick attack, with Eziegille playing the ball straight down the left side of midfield from the flank.

Tang Hong responded with his back, and Brazilian fullback McCone pressed him from behind, although he is also Brazilian, also called McConn, and is also a right wingback, but Porto's McCone is not the McCone who played the world's No. 1 right fullback in the 09-10 season.

However, Mai Kong, who is close to 190 cm tall, will naturally put Tang Hong under great pressure in the confrontation.

Tang Hong pulled the ball and turned around from the side direction, McConn immediately retreated to block, but the next second, Tang Hong retracted his center of gravity and dunked the ball to the middle of the direction.

As soon as he took a step to open the distance between the ball and McConn, a figure shoveled in front of him.

Tang Hong dodged quickly, and the ball was cleanly tackled by Fernando!

Tang Hong was surprised by the decisiveness of the opponent's shovel, but at the same time, he also realized Porto's toughness in defense today!

Porto coach Viktor Pereira remained unchanged on the sidelines, and Tang Hong's threat was needless to say, and he asked the entire defensive line in the right half of the backfield to list Tang Hong as the first defensive target when formulating defensive tactics.

The audience may have only seen McConn's close defense, and Fernando defended from the side, but they didn't realize that even defender Rolando was very close to Tang Hong just now!

That's the third layer of protection, once Tang Hong completes a continuous breakthrough, then Rolando at least can't face Tang Hong in the penalty area, that's too passive, at least there is an option to foul outside the penalty area, and at the same time get closer to Tang Hong, you can also grab and defend before Tang Hong starts to increase his speed to the peak!

Porto's attack was effective under the instigation of Moutinho and De Vour, and Barbosa's attempt to take the initiative was only to be easily thrown off by the opponent hitting the wall, and then the defence fell into passivity.

This makes Braga even if they want to take the initiative to fight against Porto in the midfield, but they can only retreat and compress the defensive space, otherwise the defense line will be too dangerous!

After the opening 5 minutes, Porto went on an attacking frenzy!

Right winger Jama takes the lead on the right side of the box and receives a cross from James Rodriguez and volleys it in!

Quiem kept the ball out of the box in front of the goal line, but De Fale controlled the ball and then found Moutinho, who flicked the ball out of angle in front of Amorim and sent it through.

Hulk staggered with Coelho in the box and volleyed the ball!

Quiem makes consecutive saves!

After the ball was blocked, Custodio's header cleared the ball but was controlled by Fernando, Otamendi played through the half, and left wing-back Pereira quickly stepped down the left flank and crossed the ball!

Hulk quickly slashed diagonally into the position to grab the front point and shook his head to attack the goal!

The soccer ball flies straight to the near corner of the goal!

Seeing that is powerless!

The football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the upper edge of the crossbar!

"Porto played a series of attacks, but in the end Hulk missed the chance!

Braga are under a lot of pressure away from home and now they seem to have a problem transitioning! ”

Hulk raised his head to the sky and roared, his eyes full of unwillingness, and then he became extremely serious, like a calm beast!

The danger of the Braga defence is actually predictable, after all, their hard power is at best close to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, not above the three.

Yaltim restrained his nervousness, clapping his hands to encourage his team to stay focused and try to tie up the fence.

Compared with defense, the problem of attack is mainly in the transition between attack and defense, the position of the midfielder to play the ball forward is too deep, resulting in whether it is Tang Hong, Viana, or Lima are behind the halfway line when receiving the pass from a teammate, Porto's almost tight defense makes it difficult for them to play together, and individual breakthroughs are almost impossible.

Tang Hong made his debut in the Chinese team at Braga, dropping back to assist the team in attack.

He doesn't need to be asked by the manager, he is familiar with this kind of rhythm, the whole team is suppressed, and to organize the attack at the back, the first thing is to be able to control the ball so that the rest of the team-mates have enough time to run.

However, neither Barbosa, Custodio nor Amorim had a hard time holding the ball for more than three seconds when they were in possession, and it was true that because they were close to the penalty area, the Porto striker's turn and counter-attack and the Porto midfielder's on-the-spot counter-attack forced the Braga midfielder to rush the ball in order to avoid conceding the ball, which made the ball not work well.

In the 11th minute of the game, Tang Hong received Amorim's pass on the side of the backfield, Jarma turned and rushed towards him, Tang Hong crossed the ball to the middle, led Jarma to chase, and when he saw Moutinho coming towards him, he quickly collided with Barbosa to cooperate with the wall.

Barbosa understood it and took a step forward to get past Moutinho as soon as Tang Hong ran past him.

Tang Hong saw Devore when he stepped forward again, and the latter must have taken the initiative to grab the foul, and Tang Hong immediately passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the front court without entanglement.

Viana, who had already run out of space, stopped and slid forward on the right flank to quickly advance the attack.

Braga finally played a decent attack, but the problem was that Tang Hong needed more time to sprint from the middle line position and then sprint to the vicinity of the Porto penalty area!

Viana found Lima in the middle of the box before Fernando and Pereira could flank him.

Lima possessed the ball and burst into the box, but Otamendi got into his position first to make a beautiful cut.

The Argentine star broke the ball and tapped it across the flank to find Pereira, and Porto managed to block Braga's fast attack.

Tang Hong had just run to the front of the Porto penalty area at this time, and at this time he could only turn around and turn back to defend.

One of the important reasons why Braga fans, or rather, quickly fell in love with Tang Hong, was Tang Hong's fighting spirit!

He's never been a player who walks around the pitch, doesn't just attract attention when he's a threat on the ball, his off-ball running, his constant running always gives the crowd a refreshing sensory impact.

Porto's stormy attack was still ongoing, with the good-looking James Rodriguez running down the left and then retreating to possession of the ball to attract the defence and deliver a clever diagonal cross.

The ball rolled into the left side of the penalty area, and Moutinho's quick forward was a real negligent defender.

By the time Everton knew it, Moutinho had already turned in front of the baseline and sent in a cross!

The inverted triangle return pass was to find Jarma, who cut inside at the far post.

Eziegille cleared the ball first on his way back to the box.

But the ball was headed to the left by Fernando just outside the box, and Devore stopped the ball and sent in a diagonal cross to the ground.

The ball was back on the left flank, with full-back Andreas Pereira sending in a through ball.

James Rodriguez faked a change of direction after stopping the ball on the wing outside the penalty area, and crossed Bayano and cut into the box from the bottom line!

The Braga defense seems to have endless gaps!

When Custodio was in the penalty area, James Rodriguez passed the ball between his legs!

Moutinho shoots straight from inside the box!

Everton stepped forward to block and blocked the ball with his legs!

The Braga generals only feel pressured, and there is really no breathing room!
