056 Portuguese Super League begins
Tang Hong attaches great importance to the opportunity to showcase this teaching competition, but he may have too high expectations.
In a game with 90 minutes of regular time, the average player touches the ball for just three minutes, and Cruyff has said that performance in a game depends more on what the players are doing without the ball.
If the average of the 30-minute teaching game is to say, the player only touches the ball for 1 minute, and when Tang Hong plays, there are less than 10 minutes left in the game, plus their team is at a disadvantage on the field, the ball possession rate is lower, and the possession time is naturally less.
In the time since he came on, he has done a good job of running on the left side of the pitch, but he has not had the opportunity to really defend because the main team did not attack from his side, playing more in the middle and on the left.
When the game ended with 5 minutes left, Tang Hong finally touched the ball.
A pass from Vinicius Frank, the midfield rotation, was passed by the Brazilian and then stepped forward, trying to expect Tang Hong to pass the ball back to him.
Tang Hong stepped forward to the ball, and before he encountered the right full-back of the main team, Júnior Bayano, he saw Nuno Gomez running forward in the middle of the front, and the opponent's right hand was raised to signal Tang Hong to pass, and at the same time shouted: "Hey, boy!" ”
Tang Hong has never been a selfish player, although he wants to be outstanding, but Nuno Gomez does have a good running time, and he must pass the ball at this time, otherwise the opponent will go into the offside zone!
The team consciousness still drove Tang Hong to subconsciously send the ball diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.
The pass played a good role, Nuno Gomez happened to run diagonally against offside, and before Douglan turned back to block it, Nuno Gomez met the ball and half-turned and pushed it into the far corner.
The veteran goalkeeper reacted quickly and fell to the ground to save the ball from the bottom line with one palm.
Nuno Gomez clapped his hands with a little regret.
The teammates didn't care about Tang Hong's performance, and maybe in everyone's opinion, passing the ball was nothing to look at differently.
But coach Yaltim looked at Tang Hong thoughtfully.
It is undeniable that Tang Hong at the World Junior Championships has impressed Yaltim with his ability to break through and create a dangerous ball, but after all, it is important to recognize that Tang Hong is still very young, and will the changes in the environment and situation on the professional field make it difficult for him to adapt?
Yaltim didn't know about these, but he was still impressed by Tang Hong's timely delivery of the ball just now.
He called Pires to his side, and then asked Pires to help Tang Hong integrate into the team's technical and tactical system as soon as possible, and at the same time let Tang Hong speed up on the field in individual strengthening training!
Speed is the advantage that Tang Hong can be among the best in the team's training, and there is another indicator Although it has not been carefully compared, Yaltim vaguely believes that Tang Hong's dribbling speed combined with the ball should be the fastest in the team!
The speed of running without the ball and the speed of dribbling with the ball are two different things, and the two are related, but it is not that running fast without the ball necessarily means that the dribbling speed is fast, and there are also technical elements in the middle.
At the end of the teaching match, Tang Hong stood on the court with his hands on his waist, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
He didn't stop for less than 10 minutes of play, but he had only one touch, two steps and then a kick.
Because his teammates didn't pass the ball to him again, the players on the bench team wanted to perform, and the so-called team spirit is based on being a stable member of the team, and the first thing to strive for before that is to enter the team!
No one will think that there is anything wrong with Tang Hong's lack of opportunities, and they will not consciously create opportunities for Tang Hong, because even if they are the main players, they need to defend their positions, and the substitute players still think that their opportunities are not enough, and give the opportunity to a newcomer? Can there be anything in return?
Yaltim briefly summarized the training and then that's the end of today's training.
Many people saw the sense of loss written on Tang Hong's face, and they were more unwilling and dissatisfied!
Barbosa smiled at Tang Hong in the locker room: "Don't worry, there will be a teaching match every week. ”
Tang Hong didn't know if the other party was comforting himself, anyway, many teammates showed disapproving smiles on their faces.
Yes, there are teaching competitions every week, and you'll get used to it.
Tang Hong, who was riding his bicycle home, was preoccupied on the road, and his previous expectations for the teaching competition were shattered, or he needed to re-examine the meaning of the teaching competition.
It's definitely not a game like a team to beat your opponents.
The coaching staff will look at players who are trying to present themselves and perform poorly, which is tantamount to suicide!
On the other hand, if you perform well, you will have the opportunity to move up the ladder, which is both a gamble and a push to the limit under pressure!
Braga started their pre-season warm-up matches, which didn't give much chance to the benches and rotations as Al Tim needed to get off to a good start to the new season.
As the last Tang Hong on the front line, he sat on the bench for 90 minutes in three consecutive warm-up games.
The feeling almost drove him mad, but he was calm on the surface.
Tang Hong came to the team in mid-to-late July, and just entered the middle of August, and the 2011-2012 Portuguese Super League season began!
From 1934 to 2011, the Portuguese top league has monopolized the league championship in the past 80 years, and only two seasons of champions are not Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, Birrense in 1946, and Boavista in 2001.
Benfica have won the title 32 times, Porto 25 and Sporting Lisbon 18.
It is conceivable how strong the dominance of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League is over the Portuguese Super League!
Braga's results over the years have also determined that the club has no other choice but to go forward to challenge for the Portuguese Super League title.
I can't tell the outside world that we are very satisfied when we are the fourth in ten thousand years.
The Municipal Stadium, Braga's home stadium, is built on a quarry with a unique shape with a cliff on one side and a steep hill on the other, from which the city of Braga can be overlooked.
The UEFA-rated four-star stadium has only two main stands, with large electronic screens hanging in the air on the cliff side and the road on the hillside.
Tang Hong has been to this stadium, compared to sitting in the all-inclusive, or even closed stadium to watch the game, watching the game in the Braga Municipal Stadium is indeed closer to nature, and the weather impact will be more intuitive, after all, there are no stands on two sides, although one side is blocked by a cliff, but the other side is equivalent to the wind!
In the first round of the Portuguese Super League, Braga did not play at home, but went away to challenge Rio Ave, Tang Hong did not go with the team, and he did not make the squad.
The day before the game, Yaltim spoke to him alone and told him why he was not selected.
He has only been with the team for a long time, he has not experienced a full summer of preparation with the team, and it will take time and patience to integrate into the team before adapting to the Portuguese scene.
He once again said that he would give Tang Hong a chance at the right time.
But what is the right opportunity?
Tang Hong didn't know.
If Braga are to compete for the title, then every league game is an all-out win, and there is no room for practice, unless the game goes into garbage time and Braga is leading by the score.
The Portuguese Super League is not a league with many goals, although it is full of players from South America, as the second league with the second largest number of foreign players in European football, the number of local players in the Portuguese Super League is just over 30%, and the rest are foreign players, while the number of South American players accounts for more than 40%!
This is directly related to the establishment of colonies in South America by Portugal's former maritime hegemony, and although the once empire on which the sun never sets has long since collapsed, people-to-people and economic exchanges have continued to develop rapidly in the hundreds of years since the end of colonial rule.
It is not surprising that the number of Brazilian players in the Braga team is five or five different from the number of Portuguese players, which is also common among the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, even Benfica, who used to pay great attention to youth training, and Sporting Lisbon have already increased the proportion of foreign players.
At six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, when Braga's game against Rio Ave began, Tang Hong was wearing shorts in the living room of his home to do indoor fitness exercises, and the big TV screen was showing Braga's game.
After coming to Portugal for nearly a month, he and Sun Rou's work and rest habits have also been somewhat affected, dinner is basically eaten after eight o'clock, no way, usually Tang Hong is almost eight o'clock when he returns home from training.
Sun Rou was happily humming a song in the kitchen and cooking dinner, Tang Hong was not in the competition squad, she didn't care at all, she just did her own thing and was satisfied.
Tang Hong looked at the live broadcast of the game on the big TV screen, and his eyes became sharper and sharper!
In the first round of the Portuguese Super League, Bula strengthened the attack on Rio Ave for 90 minutes to no avail!
0:0!
