Braga travelled to Manchester, England in midweek, and Tang Hong was refreshed.

Chen Manhong massaged him for two days in a row, relaxing his muscles and activating his nerves, which really made him feel refreshed!

I thought that in addition to my personal trainer, I now have a personal masseuse, and I would be embarrassed if I couldn't score a few more goals on the court.

Braga's away challenge to Manchester United is naturally not favored by the whole world.

Although Manchester United has not made any major additions since Ronaldo left the team to join Real Madrid, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the world-famous Red Devils are still the runners-up in the Champions League last season!

This season, the Champions League has played a little stretched, and Benfica and Basel in the same group have squeezed out the Champions League runners-up out of the round of 16.

With Manchester United's status, the Europa League is not in sight, and the knockout round after the Europa League round of 32 is somewhat careless.

After winning 2-0 at home to Ajax in the first leg, they scored away goals away and lost 1-2 easily.

At the moment, Braga is waiting for the challenge at Old Trafford, and it is estimated that he intends to end the fight in one round, and then play a game of trapped beasts in the second leg to be able to move on.

In fact, Braga and Manchester United are focusing on the league at this stage.

In particular, Manchester United's sworn rival Manchester City has already had the capital to compete for the title after several years of accumulation, and the momentum is extremely strong this season, and Manchester United, as the defending champion of the Premier League, should try to trample the sworn enemy under his feet.

Braga landed in Manchester, Tang Hong sat in the bus and browsed the scenery outside the window when the lights were on, and the old industrial city brought him the novelty of viewing, but it did not make people have the urge to linger.

Coupled with the cold and humid climate of the United Kingdom itself, the United Kingdom is really not the most livable place in Europe.

When the Old Trafford stadium came into view from the far end of the line of sight, a smile rose at the corner of Tang Hong's mouth, and the irrepressible excitement in his heart was gradually improving!

The Braga generals are already gearing up and looking forward to something at the Theater of Dreams!

They are guests here, but they have a heart to be the protagonist!

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson did not speak at length about the game before the game, and his praise for Braga's performance this season seemed to be just social etiquette.

A reporter asked him about Tang Hong, after all, Manchester United has been "asked" to introduce strong wingers every year since Ronaldo left!

Whoever makes the successor Nani not angry, Valencia can't carry the pressure brought by the No. 7 jersey, plus Giggs has become "Wang Laoji".

Ferguson did not deny that Manchester United did have scouts paying attention to Tang Hong's performance, in fact, after the end of last year's World Junior Championships, Manchester United had scouts submit a report on Tang Hong, just because signing Tang Hong could not bring short-term benefits, he had to compromise and loan him to a satellite club, and then either wait for him to be willing to receive a second nationality, or he could get a labor certificate on behalf of the national team, the former because China does not recognize dual nationality, it is unrealistic to want Tang Hong to give up his motherland nationality, The latter looked like a long way off last summer, and Manchester United gave up.

Players are often like this, not they can be signed at the beginning, the right time and place and all factors are indispensable, no player will bet on the future to be arranged by the club at will, especially those talented players, Arsenal and Liverpool still wanted to sign Ronaldo Ronaldo, and in the end it did not become a terrier of temperature difference.

But it's not too late for Manchester United to continue to pay attention to Tang Hong, but Paris Saint-Germain's public offer of 35 million euros was rejected, but Manchester United, who made money to pay off their debts, may be discouraged.

Ferguson himself still gave Tang Hong a positive evaluation, which sounded like diplomatic rhetoric.

It is still relatively rare for a press conference to be overly praised and exaggerated, as it is disrespectful to the opposing club and will make the transfer more difficult.

The operation and transfer of giants are often in pursuit of a short period of time to complete the transaction quickly to avoid extraneous branches, and the longer a deal is brewing, the more likely it is to fail!

There are already a lot of fans gathered outside Old Trafford, mostly red Manchester United fans, and Braga fans, although they have also come from afar, but the white huddle is inconspicuous in the bright red crowd.

Coming to the away team's locker room at the Theater of Dreams, Tang Hong and his teammates took a look at the facilities here and began the final preparations before the game in earnest.

The suit-clad Yaltium and assistant coach Pires have been mobilizing the excitement of the players, talking to each player to give a few words.

Standing on the turf of Old Trafford to warm up, in the magnificent stadium, Tang Hong's heart was surging, but he tried to relax himself.

When the players of both teams lined up in the tunnel to enter the field, the lineup on Manchester United's side should be the highest level of coffee in Tang Hong's career.

Invisibly, Manchester United players have an aura of no one in their eyes, especially when they are fighting at their doorstep, naturally they don't need to care who the opponent is, anyway, they have to call the opponent back!

When the players of the two teams walked into the Theater of Dreams, although the stadium was not full today, it also created a huge momentum!

England's stadiums are known for being compact, and the proximity of the stands to the pitch allows the home fans to put more pressure on their opponents!

Braga fans gathered in the visitors' stands, and although they were trying to create cheering momentum, they were completely overwhelmed by the roar of the Red Devils' home fans.

"Good evening, dear spectators and friends, and welcome to the first leg of the 2011-2012 UEFA Cup quarter-finals, where the Red Devils Manchester United host the visiting Portuguese Super League leaders Braga!

Manchester United eliminated traditional Eredivisie giants Ajax 4-3 on aggregate in the previous round, while Braga returned to home against the backdrop of a three-goal defeat in the first leg of the previous round and won five goals to reverse Lokomotiv Moscow!

While Manchester United's focus will inevitably be on the Premier League and in the Europa League, it is likely that Braga, at their level, will be in full swing with today's all-out squad Braga!

Braga are the strongest team in the Portuguese Super League this season and are likely to win their first top-flight title in the club's history this season.

Among them, Chinese striker Tang Hong, who has scored more than 50 goals this season in all competitions, will be the focus of the game.

Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams.

Manchester United started today with 4231.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra.

Midfielders: Ashley Young, Park Ji-sung, Rooney, Phil Jones, Ryan Giggs.

Forward: Javier Hernandez.

Braga started 433 away today.

Goalkeeper: Quem.

Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Ezigile.

Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

The starters of the two teams have been introduced to you, and now let's look forward to the next two teams to give the audience a wonderful battle! ”

The Red Devils Manchester United at home kicked off first, the coaching dugout at Old Trafford was connected to the stands, the Red Devils king Alex Ferguson sat in the dugout chewing gum as if there was no pressure, and Yaltim, who was in a suit today, stood on the sidelines and looked meticulous.

When the game started, Braga retreated directly to compress the defensive space, because the pace of Manchester United was too fast after kick-off!

Even if there is no positive attacking playmaker in the midfield, Manchester United, which has always been characterized by playing on the wing, only needs to be too far in the middle, and the side naturally has players to quickly pass and cut to complete the breakthrough.

Giggs crossed the bottom after hitting the wall with Evra on the left side, and only Hernandez scrambled for a header in the middle of the penalty area, but it also put a lot of pressure on the Braga defense, the key is that Giggs's cross is of very high quality!

Coelho cleared the ball with a header, and as soon as Amorim stopped the ball, he was countered by Rooney, and in desperation, Amorim could only clear the ball off the sideline.

After playing on the left and switching to the right, Ashley Young burst down quickly and slammed the ball back in front of Eziegile to swing the ball across the right side of the box.

Rooney, who suddenly entered the penalty area, stopped and took a shot as soon as he shook the angle in front of Coelho!

Top players are always able to catch that fleeting opportunity in the gaps!

hurriedly pounced to block the ball flying to the near corner of the goal!

Call!

Old Trafford echoed with the regretful sighs of the Red Devils fans, and then the applause was thunderous!

These voices will bring a lot of psychological pressure and interference to the Braga players!

Tang Hong doesn't know if Manchester United is playing this game at the pace of the Premier League, or maybe Manchester United has not yet shown its true strength, but even this intensity has overwhelmed Braga away from home.

It is undeniable that the Braga generals will naturally be nervous in their euphoria.

How can a team that is not a big three in the Portuguese Super League play against a team in the world's top five without tension and pressure?

Smalling's header from a Manchester United corner is headed high from behind the box!

Braga are still unbreached, but the leakage from the set-piece is extremely obvious, which is not a good sign.

When Tang Hong touched the ball on the left side of the backfield in the 5th minute of the game, the Braga fans immediately cheered!

Tang Hong received Custtodio's diagonal pass, and just led the ball forward to push it forward, he saw the Korean king Park Ji-sung rushing towards him, he immediately stopped the ball and changed to a cross-cut to dodge, and continued to push forward further, but was destroyed by Park Ji-sung, who turned around to chase back!

The other party is too decisive!

Tang Hong hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, but Smalling split the ball to find Rafael, who passed straight to the right side of the front, Tang Hong didn't even have the opportunity to harass in close quarters, Manchester United's pass didn't show how unexpectedly creative, but it was such a simple and fast combination of short passes and medium and long passes, coupled with the players' fast running, making full use of the repeated impact of the width of the field to make people have a dizzying sense of déjà vu!

It's going to be a new and rhythmic challenge that Braga hasn't experienced in a whole season!
