Athletic Bilbao went on the offensive at the Municipal Stadium, and their midfield defence was aggressive and somewhat ferocious!

The two full-backs of the 343 formation will observe the direction of Braga's ball when defending, if it is a wing, the full-back and winger will form a continuous blockade before and after, if it is the middle, then immediately close to the middle and form a defensive triangle with Gulpethi!

In the opening 10 minutes, Barbosa has been cut off three times in a row!

He's getting out of shape and he feels like he's in a siege in midfield!

In the 12th minute of the game, Tang Hong retreated to the backfield to respond, and finally controlled the ball on the side, and it was very unexpected that the football bounced to his side after Coelho blocked Llorente's shot.

Just started forward, Ilora behind him killed, Tang Hong protected the ball to the sideline and stopped in place and turned around, Elora had clearly rushed behind him, but the opponent had a pulling action in his hand, and he put it as soon as he pulled it, but Tang Hong was still unstable and took two steps back, and the referee's whistle sounded and punished Elora for a foul.

Tang Hong looked at his teammates, and the huge pressure after the opening made them all a little nervous.

Maybe we can take a little bit of relief now.

The free-kick was taken, Tang Hong quickly cut forward and run, Braga's attack hit the right side of the field, Viana dribbled forward on the wing, and was entangled by Gabilondo's defense, he immediately passed the ball to Lima, only to be cut off by Javi Martinez as soon as the ball stopped.

Tang Hong made a sharp stop in front of the penalty area line and turned to defend and harass.

Javi Martinez, who has been playing in midfield before, is also a new star on the attention of the giants, and in Bielsa's tactical system, Xavi Martinez has been transformed into a ball-playing defender, which can ensure that Athletic Bilbao's central axis is stronger in terms of attacking organization.

Athletic Bilbao quickly launched an attack forward, Demarcos was too late in midfield, and Ilora rushed forward on the right to respond, and Athletic Bilbao almost blinked into the key area of Braga's defense.

Some of the home fans were already panicking.

They may have miscalculated the quality of Athletic Bilbao, especially their technical and tactical style of play.

It's so fierce!

Yaltim's bowels were blue at this point.

If Athletic Bilbao could have been so aggressive on the road, he would have put Braga on the counter-attack.

Now they are almost crushed by their opponents in midfield, and to be precise, Athletic Bilbao is playing on both wings so that Braga is almost powerless.

Llorente grabbed a spot in the middle to receive Susetta's cross and head the goal!

The top of the soccer ball was lifted over the crossbar by Quiem.

Three minutes later, Custodio tried a long pass from the edge of the box to find Lima, who was also under pressure to possess the ball in the center circle, and was cut off by Gulpeti as soon as he stopped the ball, and Athletic Bilbao's fast attack hit like a wave.

Gabirondo advanced quickly down the flanks and when he faced full-back Bayano, he tapped the ball across the edge of the box, and De Marcos took the initiative to pick it up and slotted it in.

Athletic Bilbao managed to play a triangle pass penetration match!

Muniain cut into the left rib of the penalty area to receive De Marcos's through ball, Everton immediately rushed to block, but Munia's sudden stop changed the direction of the ball and raised his foot to shoot, and the football went straight to the far corner of the goal.

Braga's old goalkeeper subconsciously pounced and barely blocked the ball with one palm, but the football that bounced in front of the goal was sent into the goal by Llorente's supplementary shot!

Coelho was completely deflected by Llorente!

When Llorente ran to celebrate, the Braga fans in the stands on either side of the Municipal Stadium were a little distracted.

It looks like they're helpless.

"Llorente scored from the spot! Athletic Bilbao has finally paid off after hitting the Braga defense one after another with wave after wave of attacks!

Braga's midfield was in disarray, and Barbosa had a terrible day, not only did he not have a bright spot at the moment, but he couldn't even get a good ball forward.

But we must also admit that Athletic Bilbao's defense is indeed fierce, with aggressive running, tacit joint defense, and decisive tactical fouls!

Braga's forward line has been ineffective so far. ”

Before Braga kicked off, Barbosa lowered his head slightly and gritted his teeth secretly, Tang Hong said to him: "Don't be so nervous, the pace of the game is fast, first ensure the success rate of the pass and then think about anything else, there is still plenty of time." ”

Balbosa looked up at Tang Hong and nodded slightly.

Anyone can see that it will be difficult to expect Barbosa to create a playmaking threat today, so the rest of Braga's players will have to find a way, especially those who are not locked down.

Not only do the fans know it, but the players also know that if Braga lose to Athletic Bilbao today, it will be very difficult for them to qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League!

Because just looking at the cards, Paris Saint-Germain, which has a consortium in the summer, is stronger than Athletic Bilbao!

And it's Braga's home turf!

Braga launched a fast attack immediately after kick-off, and the Amorim midfielder sent a good ball to Tang Hong's feet, and when Barbosa was tightly sealed, the rest of his team-mates naturally began to share the pressure on him.

Tang Hong took the initiative to respond on the left side of the front court, and even stopped the buckle and changed directly to the outside line, and the robbing Ilora did not expect Tang Hong to cut inside this time, but he smashed the ball to the side, which made him make a mistake in defensive prediction and was passed.

Tang Hong quickly stepped on the ball and then turned to the penalty area to kill, Gul Paigie quickly returned to the front of him, Tang Hong stepped on the bicycle and shook a shot before picking up the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Barbosa, who was inserted in the back, met the ball and wanted to volley directly, but the ball was kicked off!

The soccer ball flew into the air!

Braga fans were stunned!

Amorebieta controlled the ball and headed it away.

Braga's frontcourt players didn't have time to return to the defense, and Athletic Bilbao's quick counter-attack was on the way.

Muniain cut inside to receive Susetta's pass, Llorente was slow to follow up this time, and Muniain faked his way past Everton after cutting into the box and almost had a one-on-one chance to shoot!

Braga fans already have the consciousness of conceding the goal, but the next second they are relieved and escape!

Muniain was too much for angles, and as a result, the ball grazed the outside of the right post and flew out of the bottom line!

Bielsa looked puzzled.

Muniain, who was shocked two years ago, was once considered to be a copy of Messi, but the goal rate in the past two years has not been high, and there is no problem with the technique, but the more he plays, he himself is a little confused, as if he doesn't know what role he should play.

The players are the most embarrassed in this process, and the main tasks of the classical wingers are crosses, assists, and play the ball to their teammates.

Modern wingers, however, have to cut inside more often, or flank from far in the box.

Muniain seemed to be torn between the two, not knowing which way he should go.

It may also have something to do with the change of manager at Athletic Bilbao, where the change in style and tactics will eventually have a great impact on young players.

Athletic Bilbao fans from afar were disappointed in the stands, but gave Muniain a round of applause.

They still hope that one day Muniain can become a top star, even if it can't match Messi.

The Braga Line is fraught with danger, but in the midst of this crisis, it is also breeding the power to fight back.

Ready to go!

When Athletic Bilbao decided that they had completely limited Braga's midfield, no one expected Braga's full-backs to be the first to strike back!

Tang Hong has been with Braga for two months, and if you ask him what his biggest gain here is, it is definitely not just the opportunity to play and score goals.

There is also a higher level of technical and tactical literacy, the hone of mentality, and the grasp of the context of the game situation.

Two months ago, he would have been back at the back to keep the ball, but today he was patient.

Because they are a team, and if the team wants to win, it is not a matter of luck or individual heroism, and it is very important to follow the idea of the tactical system.

In the 29th minute, when Athletic Bilbao midfielder Gulpej was once again close to Barbosa, Custodio decisively crossed the ball diagonally to the left wing when he controlled the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

Nigerian full-back Eziegil cut in quickly and drove the ball forward.

Ilora thought for a second in the run, then made a quick stop and slid towards Ezigile, who scrambled to play the ball through.

Tang Hong received with his back on the front wing, and when Tang Hong began to cut inside, Gulpaghi immediately abandoned Barbosa and killed Tang Hong, plus central defender Iturraspe stepped forward to defend, and he and Gulpej formed a two-sided attack to break the ball from Tang Hong's feet.

Just when Tang Hong was still one meter away from Gulpage, Tang Hong knocked the ball across the side again.

After the ball is played, he continues to cut forward.

Eziegille rushed up to meet the ball and sent it diagonally!

The football rolled to the left side of the penalty area, and at the same time Tang Hong rushed forward, he had already shaken off Ituraspe, and it was too late for Javi Martinez to chase back!

Only Amorebieta was left to shoot towards him, but Tang Hong was clearly able to touch the ball first.

Goalkeeper Elizoz walked out of goal.

Tang Hong turned his head and swept the situation on the road when he was about to catch up with football, and Lima actually hasn't followed up yet!

He was left out by Javi Martinez!

This made Tang Hong lose the goal of passing, and at the same time, combined with the line of Amorebieta rushing to defend, Tang Hong did not have room to get rid of it, which would definitely delay the fighter!

After analyzing the situation clearly, Tang Hong only had one last choice left!

Even if the angle was small, it was almost blocked by goalkeeper Elizoz who abandoned the goal, and Tang Hong still shot with his feet when he caught up with the football!

Elizoz lowered his center of gravity to make a save and block posture, and under the watchful eyes, the moment the football flew up, Elizoz's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly jumped up and tried to reach out and slap the ball flying lightly overhead, but it was still too late!

Hanging shot!

Elizoz looked back with the last shred of hope as he fell, but the sight of him slumped his shoulders suddenly.

The ball grazed the far post and the underside of the crossbar and crashed into the Athletic Bilbao goal!
