The Green Superstar
Chapter 168: Critical phase of war
After the Braga team returned, they were asked by coach Yaltim to go home and rest.
They only have two days to rest before going to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon to challenge Benfica as a guest!
That was not the last time they faced Benfica this season. They will also have a peak duel with Benfica in the Portuguese League Cup final!
However, the Portuguese media believes that Benfica's home game against Braga in the league is more important than anything else!
With 6 rounds left in the league, if Benfica cannot beat Braga at home, then Benfica, who is declared to be 8 points behind Braga, will withdraw from the championship!
Braga has entered the most critical stage of the season. The European war has always been interspersed between the leagues. Apart from the weekly doubles, they will be away to challenge Benfica this weekend, and the next round of the league will be at home against Porto!
Whether they can win the first Portuguese top league championship in the club's history depends on how they will perform in these two strong dialogues in the next ten days!
The Portuguese media has released forecasts for the war for several days. Various commentators are analyzing the Benfica and Braga match and also predicting changes in the championship situation.
Tang Hong was still following the steps, but made Chen Manhong and Sun Rou nervous.
Tang Hong often turned on the TV at home to watch the sports station. As a result, whether it was Sun Ronghua and Chen Manhong who appeared on the street in groups from Braga local fans to cheer for the team’s training, or was bombarded by the Portuguese media, It seemed to make them feel that a war has entered the most critical stage!
So Sun Rou prepared every meal for Tang Hong more carefully, while Chen Manhong massaged Tang Hong once every two days...
The weekend arrived. On the day Braga went to Lisbon, Tang Hong came to the club at about ten in the morning. While changing clothes in the locker room, Amorim looked at Tang Hong with a weird expression and asked, "You are leaving. ?"
Tang Hong asked inexplicably, "Where am I going?"
Custodio said in a deep voice: "This morning the news said that many teams are interested in you, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Dortmund, Germany, Leverkusen, Paris Saint Germanic, Lyon, Spain's Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Italy's AC Milan."
Tang Hong frowned. It’s not a secret that a team was interested in him before. Teammates all know it. But today, if the news reports that the number of teams interested in him will explode, and any team may be Tang Hong In the next home, then this gives him a strange feeling that the news is coming.
Because it is difficult for a media’s news channel to include all the well-known clubs in European football, they will report those news with more factual sources, so that they can be credible and sell more. If they are just speculations or even fabrications out of thin air If it does, then there is no credibility.
At this time, the old goalkeeper Kuim said lightly: "Don't be bothered by this, I will tell you why.
This is the media that favors the three giants of the Portuguese Super League are disrupting our military spirit!
This kind of thing is not uncommon. In previous seasons, if it was a time when the championship was in a stalemate, some media would sort out some players’ transfer intentions and release them at critical moments to throw the target team into confusion.
These years have not changed.
No matter where Tang Hong goes, he can't go anywhere before the end of the season.
Let's not get distracted by this kind of thing, concentrate on playing every next game! "
When everyone heard this, they all explained their doubts. In fact, the reason why Barbosa was silent is because he also saw the news that Benfica was interested in from the media.
I don't want to talk about it, because it really appeals to him.
But now it is really possible that Quiem said that this is the media helping Benfica and Porto, regardless of whether there are rumors, but it is enough to make Braga's players cranky!
Top clubs even have their own mouthpiece media as a weapon to attack other teams. If the three giants of the Portuguese Super League have no media comrades in their home base, it is absolutely impossible. After all, the news of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League is the best in Portuguese football every year. In the market, the three giants have more than 90% of the fan supporters in Portugal!
Prepare for battle with peace of mind and go with the team.
When Braga came to Benfica's home stadium, the Stadium of Light, Lisbon, to warm up, there were fans in the stands of Stadium of Light.
Fans of Benfica, known as the Red Devils, raised their flags in the stands, raised banners, and used their own actions to support the team in the final stage of the season to burst out stronger fighting power!
But Benfica is really "weak" now!
The last round of the league failed to win but also lost Aimar, who was sent off for this round of suspension.
Although Barbosa is also suspended, but in comparison between the two, Benfica is even more affected!
In addition to the transfer of winter players, Benfica's combat effectiveness has actually declined compared to the first half of the league. This is also reflected in their ability to acquire points, otherwise Braga will not open an 8-point gap!
6 rounds, 8 points to chase!
This makes the league sprint difficulty in the final stage of Benfica's season more difficult than ever.
The biggest impact of Braga's sudden emergence this season on Benfica is not the fight for the championship, because Benfica even lags behind Porto in the same period and may not be able to win the war with Porto.
But the Portuguese Super League only has 1.5 places in the Champions League. If Benfica can't get the runner-up, he can only play in the Europa League next season. This is the most deadly in terms of financial income and summer signings!
Before the game, Benfica coach Jorge **** and Yaltim shook hands amicably on the sidelines, and they both stood in the coach command area and waited for the start of the game.
In addition to the fact that Yaltim’s cathartic smile can be seen when the team scored a goal in the game, he was also more calm on weekdays. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his pressure is very high. Carefully.
Braga is walking on thin ice this way, the local cups both reach the finals, the Europa League is expected to reach the semi-finals, the league championship has a big advantage but it has also come to the most important juncture!
If you can't win against Benfica and Porto in the next round, Braga's efforts for a season may be wiped out after two rounds!
This pressure is difficult for others to understand personally. Even the players of Braga are mostly welcoming the matches every week with the idea of "fighting if you want to fight". They never think about how to win the game in the best way. This is a headache.
The test of the players is a difficult game, the performance of good or bad is the watershed of personal ability and level, and it is also a huge challenge for the coach to deal with the complex situation of the sprint phase of the season.
It is also a process of transformation if you want to move from the Ping Mingjun to the first-line coach.
No one will directly award the championship to the players of Braga, and Yaltim naturally can't expect to easily become one of the top coaches in Portugal by just taking the team to the north and south.
They are all fighting, for better results and a better self!
Although Barbosa was suspended from the game by a red card, he still came to Lisbon with the team, but he sat in the box extravagantly to watch the game. Dressed in a stylish casual outfit, he looks better than the Braga player who walked out of the player channel. We must be serious!
The players of the two teams lined up on the field. At this moment, no one of the Benfica fans in the stands of the Stadium of Light will underestimate the previously humble Braga!
Tang Hong seemed to be more relaxed than before. He even briefly chatted with the little girl standing in front of him during the kick-off ceremony.
"You don't seem to be happy."
"Yes, because I am a Benfica fan, my dad is, so are my grandpa and grandma."
"Your mother is not a fan?"
"She is also a fan, but she supports Sporting Lisbon, she is a traitor to our family."
"It seems I can't make you happy anymore. I originally planned to give you a jersey after the game."
"If Braga wins the game, nothing you send me will make me happy, but it will ease my sadness because I can give the jersey to Tim."
"Who is Tim?"
"My classmate, he took good care of me at school. Their family moved to Lisbon from Braga. He has been mentioning you in my ear for the past year."
"Haha, yes, no matter whether Braga wins or not, I will give you a jersey after the game."
When the kick-off ceremony ended, Tang Hong smiled and waved with the little girl who accompanied him on the field.
Put away your smile, take a pre-match photo with your teammates, then stand on the court and wait for the start of the game.
"Good evening, everyone, the Portuguese Super League has come to the 25th round. Today we will broadcast the highlight of this round at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon. Benfica will play at home against the league leader Braga!
Braga has been in the leader's position for too long, and whether they can lead the way and cross the finish line depends on the performance of the last 6 league rounds!
Benfica is currently 8 points behind Braga. If you can't beat Braga in this game, you can only hope that Braga will collapse in the rest of the game if you want to reverse Braga!
If you want to pray for a good result in Portugal, you will naturally go to Braga!
So I think Benfica’s best destiny is in his own hands, and that is to beat Braga at home today!
Both teams have player injuries, look at their starting lineup today.
Benfica debuts 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Morris.
Defenders: Maxi Pereira, Louisson, Miguel Vito, Capdevila.
Midfielders: Witsel, Xavi Garcia, Bruno Cesar.
Forwards: Gaitan, Cardoso, Rodrigo.
Braga also started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Quim.
Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Eziegil.
Midfielder: Custodio, Mossolo, Amorim.
Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.
Benfica lost Aimar and Braga lost Barbosa. I don't know who will have the greater influence on the two teams. Let us look at the results while watching the game. "
The magnificent Stadium of Light was full of hustle and bustle, and a key battle that determined the fate of the two teams started instantly after the referee whistled!
