162 Double Line Finals!
Braga travel to Porto to host Gil Vicente at the Stade de la Longo in midweek, while the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals will be played at a neutral venue.
Due to the tight schedule, Yaltim's preparations also need to be more thoughtful.
It's impossible to say that you don't want to reach the final of the Portuguese League Cup.
But if the whole team goes to play in the League Cup, there is a league in Braga at the weekend, and there is a trip to Schalke Stadium to play the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals in the middle of next week, how can it be coped with only relying on a set of lineups to play the world?
But if the last substitute loses the semi-finals, not to mention how regretful, it is inevitable that the team's morale will suffer.
So the day before the game, when the team arranged tactics on the training ground, he deliberately said to Tang Hong: "Hong, I will arrange for you to start tomorrow night's game, but I don't want you to consume too much, do you understand?" ”
Tang Hong's eyes rolled, and he spread his hands and said, "I don't understand, am I taking a walk on the field?" ”
"You're going to be limited by the opposition's focus, they're going to pay at least two players to block you, your job is to keep the opponent's defensive center of gravity up front, and then we'll focus on other offensive lines to create a threat, and if Gil Vicente reacts and relaxes your defence, then it's easier for you to play harder," said Yaltim patiently.
Do you understand this? ”
The other players were not surprised when they heard this, Tang Hong was already a thorn in the side of each of their opponents!
Tang Hong understood now, and simply said, "Brother, I'll cover, you rush!" ”
The next evening, the whole Braga team arrived at the Stadio de la D'oeil in Porto, where the semi-finals of the Portuguese League at a neutral venue did not fill the Stadio de la D'oeuvre, whose fans were the main force in the stands due to their proximity.
Standing in the players' tunnel before the game, Tang Hong hugged Wu Lei, who also started today, and Wu Lei sighed: "I really didn't expect us to meet again as opponents on the court, and I hope that today's result will be different from the last one." ”
Tang Hong smiled: "I'm afraid this will be a little difficult, but everyone should work hard." ”
Fighting his head high, his time at Gil Vicente has been getting better and better lately, and he has made significant progress in just a few months.
Unlike when he was in China, both in terms of training and diet, he could feel his transformation.
Especially here in Portugal, Tang Hong can be seen in the news almost every week, which is also a source of motivation for him!
It's not that the Chinese can't do it, but whether they have made great perseverance to do it!
The starting line-ups for both teams were on the pitch and Braga opted for most of their rotation for the Portuguese League semi-final today.
Goalkeeper: Quem.
Defenders: Miguel López, Douglan, Paulo Vinicius, Imoru.
Midfielders: Salino, Barbosa, Mahamat.
Forwards: Alain, Nuno Gomez, Tang Hong.
It can be seen that only goalkeeper Quem, midfielder Barbosa, and striker Tang Hong appeared in the starting lineup.
Yaltium still sees the league as the top priority, and the tactical arrangement of this Portuguese League Cup has been put into action, and if he can knock out Gil Vicente to advance to the final, it will also be a reflection of his coaching ability.
Tang Hong was on the left side of midfield from the start of the game, he was not as active as he used to be in the game, but when he started to possess the ball, Gil Vicente could not ignore his threat, and as Altim expected, at least two or three players formed a flank for Tang Hong.
Tang Hong judged the situation and played the ball in time, and Braga's other players today were more active and energetic than him, especially the players who usually don't have much playing time.
Barbosa also came on today with instructions, and he did not put too much into the attack, and Braga's attack was completely handed over to the physical Nuno Gomez, Allan, as well as the two full-backs and the Brazilian Salino, who played in midfield today.
Tang Hong had a containment screen up front, while the rest of his teammates unreservedly played local combinations in fast runs to try to tear apart Gil Vicente's defence.
Gil Vicente continued to be defensive on the counter-attack, with a number of counter-attacks from the back that were quickly linked up front to Braga's defensive hinterland, and Murray had a dangerous shot 20 minutes earlier.
In fact, it doesn't matter how tired Tang Hong is, just to retain his physical fitness, he played the University of Coimbra at home on the weekend, and went to Germany to play the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals in the middle of next week, Tang Hong is still very obedient and does not consume too much.
It's just that this obviously restrained style of play on the field makes him feel a little awkward.
The ongoing deadlock was broken just before the end of the first half, when Allan played a cross with Miguel López on the flank and then sent a cross to Gil Vicente in front of goal, where veteran Nuno Gomez scrambled to shoot the ball into the net!
Braga leads by one goal!
At halftime, Artim made it clear that the game policy of strengthening defense in the second half was clear, but no one could have imagined that shortly after the start of the second half, Gil Vicente attacked quickly, and Wu Lei was tripped by Douglan when he controlled the ball in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty!
Douglan kept protesting to the referee, but the referee was indifferent.
The penalty was not taken by Vure, but by Gil Vicente's leading scorer Carolino.
Carolino fired the ball into the top right corner of the net from a tricky angle, and Quiem pounced in the opposite direction to watch the ball fly into the net.
Gil Vicente was demoralised after the equaliser, and he played a series of wonderful attacks, but perhaps it was the active attack that came to the head, in the 66th minute of the game, Braga instigated a fast attack at the back, Tang Hong stopped on the left side of the middle line and cut to the middle, and then sent a precise through pass to Nuno Gomez.
In the first half, Alan gave Nuno Gomez an assist, and this time Nuno Gomez reciprocated, smashing the ball out of the defense and shaking it out of the angle, and Alan quickly cut inside to the middle of the penalty area and pushed the ball with his left foot into the bottom left corner of the goal!
Braga leads Gil Vicente 2-1.
The Braga fans were very happy, the only pity was that Tang Hong didn't seem to be too excited in this game.
Tang Hong also wanted to get excited, but from time to time he saw Yaltium on the sidelines!
Braga made a substitution, with Tang Hong and Balbosa being substituted together.
Yaltium used Mosolo and Custodio to strengthen the defense.
Even though they are now the leaders of the Portuguese Super League, Yaltium has not yet been pretentious in thinking that Braga is Portugal's superpowerhouse.
Just by looking at the thickness of the lineup, you can see that they are not arrogant.
Now he uses a utilitarian way to keep the victory, even if he is pointed out by the thousand husbands, his face will not change.
Gil Vicente began to press hard for an equaliser, and the Gil Vicente fans in the stands booed the conservative Braga, but that didn't change Braga's posture during the game.
After 75 minutes, Yaltium replaced veteran Nuno Gomez with Amorim to further strengthen the midfield defence.
Even if Gil Vicente invests more players to participate in the attack, it is difficult for them to organize an effective offset, and the team's characteristics are still based on counterattacks, and they are not very good at positional warfare, not to mention that they are now fighting tough battles!
Woolly was substituted with a look of regret on his face, but he should have been able to get a passing score today as well as a penalty kick.
Although Braga failed to create a decent threat in the final 10 minutes of the game, they controlled the ball and were frequently fouled by Gil Vicente, which also made Gil Vicente hopeless.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Braga fans cheered wildly!
They also reached the final of the Portuguese League Cup!
The club's president, Saldoba, should be very happy with the result, and he has asked Yaltim to win at least one domestic cup competition, with Braga currently reaching the final of both the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese League Cup.
Tang Hong chatted casually with Wu Lei after the game, Gil Vicente has no relegation pressure this season, and the final stage of the season was originally to go all out to impact the Portuguese League Cup, and now he has returned home, I am afraid that the performance of the rest of the season will fall, Tang Hong and Wu Lei encouraged each other, and then left the Dragon Stadium in Porto with the team.
The final will be played at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon!
On the way back, Barbosa wanted to take Tang Hong for a massage, but Tang Hong refused, saying that he had a masseuses at home, and Barbosa was very disappointed, probably a kind of disappointment that Tang Hong seemed to come out less and less to do activities with him.
Tang Hong was very energetic when he came home at night, after all, he basically didn't run much in the evening game, and he estimated that he didn't even run 4 kilometers in more than 60 minutes of the game.
No way, this is what Al Tim asks.
Sun Rou still prepared a supper for him, Tang Hong suddenly saw that Sun Rou's pajamas seemed to be smaller, and probably didn't pay much attention to them, so he said to her: "Don't always buy me clothes when you go shopping on weekdays, you see that your nightdress can't cover your underwear, go back and buy yourself a few new sets of pajamas." ”
Sun Rou's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks, bent down slightly, pinched the hem of the nightdress with both hands and dragged it down, glared at Tang Hong, scolded the hooligan, and trotted back to the bedroom.
Chen Manhong smiled on the side and said nothing.
Tang Hong sometimes shows some behaviors that dislike Sun Rou, such as staying up late to catch up on dramas, such as snacks every day, such as being a cute girl but not having the heart to dress herself up as a little princess......
But Chen Manhong can see that Tang Hong dislikes and dislikes, but he is absolutely good to Sun Rou and has nothing to say, infinitely tolerates all her words and deeds, and never stingy with Sun Rou, and even lets Sun Rou enjoy it from time to time, thanks to Chen Manhong, a female companion, who can take Sun Rou around, whether it is in Portugal or to other countries, otherwise Sun Rou alone would definitely prefer to stay in the house and watch her unnutritious TV series or anime.
