The Green Superstar

Chapter 160: Birthday contest

"Hugo Viana! Long shot!

Braga rewritten the total score to 4:2 at home!

Maybe not many Manchester United fans will remember that Viana played against Manchester United in the Premier League a long time ago, but today his long shot will make Manchester United fans not forget him in the short term!

Braga’s counterattack is more threatening than a week ago. A week ago at Old Trafford, Braga didn’t have many chances in the whole game, but the opportunity created by Tang Hong turned into a goal and threatened the offensive. The efficiency of converting goals is amazing!

Today's Braga shows more different offensive threat points, which is also directly related to the decline in Manchester United's away combat pressure.

Due to Braga's away goal advantage, Manchester United would need to score at least 3 goals if they want to make an away game!

The total score can only be reversed by overtaking Braga, which is very difficult at present! "

After Viana scored a goal, Tang Hong ran away with a smile. After the two hugged together, Barbosa rushed over to Viana and laughed, "Quickly, you also go to the stand to find a girl to hug. Live and eat! Headlines tomorrow!"

Viana smiled and said, "I will definitely make headlines tomorrow. My wife ran away from home with the child and I was going to file a lawsuit to bring me bankrupt!"

"That's great! You can go out with me in the future!"

Viana joked: "Even if I want to change my wife, I can't bear to have children!"

Tang Hong almost wanted to roll his eyes, he was not a serious person!

Yaltim was at ease on the sidelines, watching Manchester United's performance today is not as good as a week ago, but Braga is obviously better than the first leg. The situation is very favorable for Braga, and it is a real goal. After appearing, this undoubtedly makes Braga more likely to advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League!

When the players walked back to the half, Yaltim clapped and shouted, allowing the team to strengthen the defense and limit the threat of Manchester United.

Is there a threat to Manchester United in this game?

Giggs is indeed old, the 38-year-old veteran is no longer as brave as he was!

Ashley Young, Cleverley, these players are not the ones who can blow the counterattack horn in the big scene.

Rooney is in good shape this season. He has already scored the best scoring data for the same period in the Premier League. However, his performance in the tough battle today is average. Without the restraint of his teammates, his ability to fight alone is greatly reduced.

Manchester United strengthened the offensive after kick-off, and before the end of the first half, they launched a siege against the Braga defense line, but the thunder and rain were still small, which did not bring enough threat to Braga.

When the first half of the game ended, Ferguson's face sank.

Manchester United has a problem with offense, which is a sequelae left after Ronaldo left the team.

When a team’s striker core leaves, it will be difficult to find a suitable successor, especially since Manchester United is not a team with particularly strong purchasing power in the transfer market. Their club value is among the best in the world and is mobile. Funds can be used to smash into the transfer market but it is stretched. The Glazer family changed Manchester United overnight while making Manchester United the most indebted football club in the world. These years have been paying off debts, including the huge income from the sale of Ronaldo.

Ferguson’s transfer budget is limited. Even if Rooney has reached the peak of his career in the league this season, it is not enough to rely on Lu Xiaopang. Supplementary support is imperative. In the Europa League a week ago Before the first round of the 1/8 final, Ferguson's favorite target was Arsenal's Van Persie, and now there is an extra Braga's Tang Hong!

At the end of the first half, the two teams returned to the locker room to rest.

Yaltim here emphasized the need to resolutely fight defensive counterattacks in the second half, and then encouraged the morale of the team to let the players rest on their own.

It is conceivable that Manchester United will not really fight Braga.

After all, I really want to win Braga. In the first round, he will not only do his best at home, but also maintain a higher intensity of confrontation, without giving Braga the slightest chance.

The result of the first half of the game has basically made Manchester United out.

As long as Braga did not give his opponent a chance lightly in the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, Braga became conservative, tried to limit Manchester United's offensive organization, and had a good opportunity to fight back quickly.

Park Jixing is still pressing against Tang Hong, which invisibly makes Manchester United's midfield attack very weak.

Cleverly obviously couldn't support Manchester United's central spine, and Carrick began to press forward continuously, trying to transport shells back and forth to the side.

Rooney had a header in the first half of the second half that was quite threatening, but Quim bravely resolved the danger.

In the 64th minute of the game, Braga suddenly made an effort in the middle!

Baiano quickly inserted the pass to Custodio on the right, Barbosa followed in the middle, and Viana responded in the front. After passing through the midfield through a quick triangle, he went to the frontcourt. Manchester United's defense line was retreating. China also makes adjustments at any time.

Tang Hong first came to the middle and led Park Jixing to follow the defense, but after Barbosa passed the ball back to the right, he quickly moved to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area.

After he got rid of Park Ji-sung, Bayano and Viana also pierced Evra's defense through a quick pass and hit the wall on the right.

Close to the penalty area line on the wing, Bayano made a pass and sent it to the back of the penalty area.

Lima and Evans, who followed up in the middle, failed to touch the football, but Tang Hong was pushed hard by Ferdinand from behind when he took off to the top.

This caused Tang Hong to fall into the left post of Manchester United's goal after losing balance in the air.

The referee clearly noticed that after stopping the game, the referee fingered Manchester United's penalty spot!

Ferdinand walked to argue with the referee but was shown a yellow card.

Tang Hong lay on the ground for a long time, feeling a little discomfort on his left shoulder.

Lima quickly gestured to the coaching bench on the sidelines to let the team doctor enter the field!

Braga fans in the audience were dumbfounded, and then they all looked worried.

Tang Hong is the hope of the whole village!

He must not be injured.

Tang Hong was already sitting on the ground when the team doctor ran, but his right hand stroking his left shoulder looked a little uncomfortable.

He also couldn't tell whether it was the pain of a bruise or a sprain that hurt the bone.

The referee asked Tang Hong to go outside the court for treatment temporarily. When Tang Hong stood up, Braga fans applauded him, hoping that he would be fine.

The team doctor helped Tang Hong move his shoulder outside the bottom line and asked him about his situation. After Tang Hong said his reaction, the team doctor sprayed some nerve-paralyzing ethyl chloride on his shoulder, which could at least temporarily eliminate and relieve the pain.

Tang Hong moved his left arm after the pain was relieved, but there was no feeling of restricted movement. The team doctor believed that he was probably just a contusion, but to be on the safe side, it would be best if he could take a rest and receive physical therapy to check the effect.

Tang Hong looked back at the head team's coaching bench. Over there, Yaltim had already called the veteran Nuno Gomez to his side to arrange the task after playing.

Yaltim can't take a risk!

Tang Hong was okay, he didn't want to let him stay on the court anymore, and at this point it was almost time to replace him with physical strength.

Tang Hong has something to do, even if it is only a minor situation, he will let Tang Hong go.

Tang Hong is a bit regretful. Although the game against Manchester United can clearly feel that Manchester United has not tried their best, it is definitely a high-quality contest.

There was nothing to communicate with the team doctor at this time.

Just wait for the head coach to arrange.

He returned to the court. Braga was about to take a penalty kick. Everyone looked at Tang Hong. He was the first penalty shooter in the team.

However, the condition of Tang Hong's shoulder was just paralyzed and painful. It didn't mean that everything was gone. So he said to Amorim: "Go to the punishment, as a birthday gift for yourself."

Amorim said helplessly: "Three weeks have passed since my birthday!"

Tang Hong was a little depressed, and said casually: "Then it will be your birthday present next year."

Amorim had come to understand, Tang Hong knew that he was about to be replaced, so he was not interested.

As he was about to enter the penalty area, Barbosa preemptively said: "My birthday has not passed, let me come."

Lima leaned over and said solemnly: "I haven't had my birthday this year."

"I and you both have birthdays in May, what should I do?"

"I am two weeks earlier than you."

"..."

In the end, after comparing who had a closer birthday, Lima stood in front of Manchester United's penalty spot.

After the referee’s whistle, Lima made a run-up and calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. De Gea judged the wrong direction and threw himself lonely.

Lima successfully scored this goal and gave him a birthday present in advance for his birthday three months later.

After the goal, Lima turned and walked to try to hug Tang Hong, but turned into shaking hands with Tang Hong and bumped his right shoulder.

"Lima made a penalty kick! Braga extended the total score lead to 3 goals!

Now it can be said that Braga has locked the Europa League quarterfinals!

Because Manchester United must score at least four goals away from home to reverse!

It's very difficult for them to score a goal depending on the situation!

The bad news for Braga is that the current forward Tang Hong is suspected of being injured and will be replaced! "

In the prolonged applause of the Municipal Stadium, Tang Hong walked to the sidelines to complete the substitution with Nuno Gomez. Yaltim came and patted Tang Hong on the back. The team doctor had informed Yalty of his condition. Humm, now the team doctor accompanied Tang Hong into the player channel for detailed diagnosis and treatment.

When he returned to the field and sat on the bench wearing a sports jacket with the Braga logo, the game was coming to an end. He glanced at the super large screen in the direction of the cliff, and the score on it was 2:1.

Rooney scored a face-saving goal for Manchester United in the 84th minute.

Braga still leads 5:3 on the total score!

Tang Hong, who felt there was nothing serious, only needed to observe for another day or two and avoid strenuous activities. There was nothing else to worry about.

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Tang Hong stood up and gave a light high-five with his teammates. Everyone was smiling.

Deafening cheers and applause erupted from the municipal stadium.

Braga eliminated the Red Devils and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa League!
