It was early June when they left for Mexico from China, and it was mid-July after playing the World Junior Championships.

Van der Sheer will also return home with the team, leaving only one coach, Wise, who will be by Tang Hong's side for a long time as his personal coach.

Mexico City International Airport.

Tang Hong and Sun Rou came to see them off.

At the time of parting, everyone was full of emotion, and a thousand words were like a fish in their throats, but they didn't know what to say.

This is not a parting of life and death, but it means that the days they once fought side by side for a long time will come to an end.

I don't know when and where the next meeting will be, and if there will be another meeting.

Tang Hong looked at everyone and smiled: "It's all men, you don't need mothers-in-law, everyone, I don't wish you all the best, I wish you to ride the wind and waves!"

I look forward to playing with you next time, whether it's a wild ball or wearing the same jersey again. ”

After that, Tang Hong smiled and waved at everyone, and took the lead in turning and leaving.

Sun Rou told them, "Don't eat indiscriminately", and then followed Tang Hong's pace and left the airport.

The reckless and free Tang Hong made everyone have a thousand thoughts flashing through their minds again.

The most chic person they have ever seen in their lives is probably Tang Hong.

Always know your goals and directions and put them into action, and you will never be held back!

After boarding the plane, Zhao Hanchun came to Qin Rui's side and asked seriously, "Where will Tang Hong go?" France or Portugal? ”

Qin Rui raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "He said that there are two paths, France is easy to walk, and Portugal is difficult to walk. ”

Zhao Hanchun thought about it carefully and nodded: "Yes, that's right, then he will go to France?" ”

Qin Rui shook his head.

"He didn't tell me the exact answer, but he said a word."

"What?"

"All the easy roads are downhill, and when you realize that you are wrong, you can't turn back."

Zhao Hanchun was thoughtful and deafening.

......

Tang Hong stayed in Mexico City for another day before departing for a direct flight to Porto, Portugal.

Compared with the lack of competition in Ligue 1, Monlibier is easier to get to the position, Tang Hong values the temptation of Braga to have a Europa League seat.

At the same time, because Braga is stronger than Monlipière as a whole, whether it is internal competition or external league and European competition, the internal pressure of this team will be what he desires.

On July 19th, we arrived in Porto and turned north to soon reach Braga, the largest city in Portugal, located in the southwest corner of Portugal, while Porto is on the northern coastline, and Porto is adjacent to Braga to the north.

It stands to reason that the Mediterranean climate is already very comfortable, but if you break it down in Portugal, the climate in the north is not as good as in the southern coastal areas.

Staying at the Braga City Hotel, Tang Hong stood on the hotel balcony at night overlooking this classical town.

He'd been to Portugal before, but that was seven years ago.

In fact, Portugal has been going downhill over the years, and has no say in politics or economy on the European map.

Economists have predicted that in another 10-15 years, Portugal will regress from a moderately developed country to a developing country.

The contrast to Germany and France is evident in the economy, where a regular loaf of bread costs 3 euros, but in Portuguese cities outside of Lisbon and Porto, 1 euro can buy two.

This country, which has almost no heavy industry and manufacturing, and relies on the slow development of the tertiary industry, has been in decline since the loss of maritime hegemony.

But in exchange for a comfortable living environment here, its own unique geographical environment has also made it one of the preferred choices for many European wealthy retirement.

As the third largest city in Portugal, Braga is not big at all, considering that Portugal itself is the size of a large province compared to its northeastern neighbor, Spain.

The biggest feature of the city is that it retains the architectural styles of different periods, Baroque, Renaissance, Gothic, neoclassical and other styles of buildings criss-cross, you can see everywhere in Portugal major cities are not rare celadon graffiti murals, both graffiti whimsical, but also skilled craftsmen fine.

The mountains near the coastline are undulating, and both Braga and Porto are built on hilly ground, and there are always buildings in the city.

The exterior walls of buildings built in different periods are mainly bright and bright, sky blue, pink, orange, etc., plus the traditional white and cement gray, at least not the same at a glance, if there are artistic cells of tourists will inevitably come to mind.

Tang Hong looked at the quiet city at night, this city with a population of less than 200,000 people is difficult to have the prosperity and hustle and bustle of a city that never sleeps, but the greenery in the city makes it unique and quiet after nightfall.

Looking to the southeast, you can vaguely see that there is a hazy outline of the building at the end of the sight, which is the most famous attraction in Braga, the Cathedral of Braga, which is almost a thousand years old, and is definitely a place of interest.

But Braga Cathedral still has a special meaning today.

When Tang Hong came to Braga to watch the European Championship seven years ago, he was finally intimidated by the overcrowded foothills of the mountain, because some tourists walked up the mountain, but some devout people walked up on their knees!

As the oldest cathedral in Portugal, the special significance of Braga Cathedral lies in the fact that after nearly 500 years of debate with the Spanish archbishop, the Pope finally ruled to restore the religious status of Braga Cathedral, which has also become a place of pilgrimage for Catholics, not only in Portugal, but also from Spain, France and other places.

That's why there is a Portuguese proverb: work in Porto, have fun in Lisbon, pray in Braga!

Portugal's three giants, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, and Porto, have their team logos and symbols respectively: Lions. Benfica: Eagles. Porto: Dragon!

But Braga's emblem is the image of the Virgin embracing Jesus, the club is rooted in the community, is a microcosm of the culture and history of a region, a city, which is very common in Europe, especially in a small city like Braga with a population of less than 100,000 20 years ago.

If you really go to Glasgow, Scotland, if you can't figure out the conflicts and contradictions of religious beliefs, as well as the historical grievances between different ethnic groups, I'm afraid it's not just whether you can integrate into the team, if you don't become the public enemy of the club and can only flee in disgrace, this is by no means alarmist.

At night, Tang Hong looked at a hillside in Braga, where is the Municipal Stadium of Braga, when he came here, the stadium was built shortly, it was prepared for the European Cup, although it was only four stars, but the stadium is more than enough to meet the city's football market and meet the requirements of UEFA for European competition, and this stadium is also unique in the world in Tang Hong's opinion!

From tomorrow he's going to try to fight for himself to be able to stand in that stadium and play!

And be the protagonist there!
