The Green Superstar

Benfica coach Jesus’ worries became reality.

It would be too naive to simply think that Benfica’s disadvantage in today’s strong dialogue is the absence of Aimar, an important midfielder who can be called a master in the Portuguese Super League.

Braga's defensive counterattack in the away game directly determines the unprecedented pressure on Benfica's defense line!

When Maxi Pereira has a yellow card, other players will assist him to limit Tang Hong. In addition, Tang Hong has a large range of activities. Under Braga’s counterattack, as long as Tang Hong touches the ball, he is away from him. The recent Benfica player will foul him!

Their fear of Tang Hong can no longer wait for Tang Hong to make a change in possession before committing a foul. Obviously, it is easy to make it too late even if he wants to foul!

When the first half of the game entered the stoppage time, Tang Hong and Lima collided with Lima and were obviously pulled by Louison when they were in front of offside and fell to the ground.

Louisson was also shown a yellow card by the coach.

Plus the previous Maxi Pereira, Witsel and Harvey Garcia.

All the Benfica opponents in the left half of the frontcourt of Tang Hong's attack on the main activity area bear yellow cards!

Tang Hong stood up from the ground rather helpless, Benfica's fouls made him lose a lot of shot opportunities.

This time he took a direct free kick on the left side of the penalty area. After the football fell through a beautiful arc, it hit the crossbar and flew to the side, and finally went out of the sideline.

The audience was amazed, and Braga fans were naturally very sorry.

Tang Hong shook his hands up and down with a helpless smile.

At the end of the first half, Braga led by one goal away.

Benfica's offensive was stuck in a quagmire, and the home team fans were distraught.

During the halftime adjustment, Yaltim allowed the team to fight back defensively in the second half, and at the same time moved Viana back slightly to the center.

The quality of Braga's counterattack in the midfield is still low. If it can be improved, then Tang Hong and Lima will get more opportunities.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. At the beginning of the second half, Tang Hong, who was energetic, quickly hopped the ball from the front side to push the offensive momentum. Facing Harvey Garcia's cautious defensive dial, he made a cross cut to the center. Gaitan fell to the ground after being chased by him.

The referee warned Gaitan with words and did not show a yellow card.

Many teammates in the backcourt were carrying yellow cards, and the striker had a more important defense task.

Benfica also made some changes in his offensive play in the second half, reducing the entanglement and confrontation with Braga in the center zone, and instead quickly taking the ball from the side. Rodrigo and Cardoso looked for a good opportunity in the penalty area. Midfielder Bruno- Cesar and Harvey Garcia alternated.

As a result, Braga's defense will appear dangerous from time to time, but at the same time it can also launch counterattacks more frequently.

In the 58th minute of the game, Bruno César stepped into the penalty area to receive a cross from Gaitan's side. His header hit Taizheng on the top of the goal and sent the ball directly to Quim.

Quiem immediately launched a counterattack. The right back Baiano ran forward along the wing to catch his hand tossing the ball. Viana also followed up in the center. When Baiano met Capdevila, he decisively turned the ball diagonally. Pass the middle road zone.

Viana did not pass the ball again, but quickly dribbled the ball to the right to push the offense.

Lima and Tang Hong swiftly moved to the forward field. When Viana hit the offensive danger zone with the ball, they stopped and pulled the ball back and dodged Capdevila, who was back on defense, and then looked at the penalty area. After the situation inside, kicked and passed the ball on the spot.

This foot diagonally crossed Louisson's head and fell to the left rib of the penalty area.

Tang Hong ran into position in the fast forward, but the football's landing was a little close to the bottom line. The goalkeeper Morris had already completely blocked the near corner halfway through the attack.

Louisson turned around to defend and blocked Tang Hongruo's space after stopping the ball.

Tang Hong simply took off and pushed the ball to the center of the goal!

His move shocked Louisson and Morris. Morris hurriedly returned to the center of the goal, but it was too late. Lima got rid of Vito's defense in the follow-up, and faced the flying football. Push the ball into the empty goal in front of you!

After breaking the goal, Lima stood up, clenched his fists and raised his arms, and ran to Tang Hong and knelt down on one knee, letting Tang Hong put his foot on his thigh, and made a shoe shine for him.

"Lima scored with a header! Braga leads Benfica 2-0 away!

Benfica still failed to contain Braga's counterattack. Viana's performance in this counterattack was very critical. He waded the ball and pushed offensively to give the two forwards plenty of running time, and when the time was right, he sent a key threat ball. , Tang Hong has no greed in the penalty area. He can score this goal himself, whether it is a direct header or stop the ball to make adjustments. He can do it with his technical ability.

But he still chose to ferry the header to Lima in the middle. This is the best choice!

Lima did not live up to the efforts of his teammates, and simply scored with a header to expand Braga's lead!

Benfica is about to withdraw from the championship group! "

The Benfica fans were silent and expressionless in the stands at the Stadium of Light.

In fact, there are 6 rounds left in the league, and the gap of 8 points behind the leaders already means that their hope of winning the championship is very slim!

It's just that when hope is not completely shattered, everyone will still look forward to it.

It's time to accept reality!

Barbosa asked for a glass of champagne in the box, and watched the game with Erlang's legs lifted up. Not only was it tasteful, it was extremely refreshing!

He raised his glass in a decent way.

This one, to the heroes of Braga!

Yaltim breathed a sigh of relief, with a two-goal lead in hand. This game should not dare to say that the game is tenable, but it should not be frightening.

Benfica made substitutions. Cardoso, who was in poor form, was replaced by Nolito, and Nelson Oliveira was replaced by Rodrigo.

It seems that counterpoint substitutions do not mean to fight for life.

After losing the second ball, Benfica's rhythm dropped. Obviously, he had to patiently organize the offensive. The quick punching method just didn't work.

Braga needs to control the rhythm. Frequent schedules require high physical fitness. Tang Hong also reduced the frequency of sprints. Four days later, they will have to face Schalke 04 at home. In the long run, there is a high probability that they can After Schalke 04 this level, then we will usher in the semi-finals of the Europa League, and the next round of the first battle with Porto is interspersed in the middle!

After 70 minutes of the game, Yaltim also made substitutions to close the game.

However, they did not take the lead in replacing Tang Hong. For such an important game, we still have to beware of changes. Keeping Tang Hong's deterrent will be more intuitive and effective than having one striker.

Lima was replaced by Salino. After Salino came on the field, he first ran to Tang Hong and said to him: "Reduce consumption and be smart. This is what the coach asked me to tell you."

Tang Hong smiled, and Yaltim specially asked someone to pass on a message to him. He was really stunned.

He is not invisible to the change in the overall attitude of the team.

Benfica’s offensive threat was never played out, which disappointed the home fans. They lacked weapons to effectively tear the Braga line of defense. Nelson Oliveira's personal ability is good, and it is considered the most talented and potential contemporary Portugal. Young player, but today, under Braga's intensive defense, his personal abilities have not been able to play out. On two occasions, he looked slightly anxious because of failed breakthroughs.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Eziye Gil instigated a counterattack from the backcourt and Salino completed the transition from the side. Amorim sent a direct pass to Tang Hong.

Tang Hong led the ball in the front of the center circle and then changed direction to get rid of Harvey Garcia, and then encountered Vito when dribbling forward. A deep-fried meatball at his feet continuously knocked the ball to complete the breakthrough while he was beaten by Vito. Turned around, put the shovel from the side and tripped to the ground.

The referee decisively called Vito a foul. At this time, Braga will put pressure on the referee, thinking that Vito's foul caused Braga to lose an excellent opportunity to attack. This should be a red card!

However, the referee only showed Vito a yellow card. Braga was already two goals ahead. At this time, if Benfica's players were sent off, the game would instantly enter garbage time.

Yaltim saw it on the sidelines, and there was nothing to worry about at this time, and he simply replaced Tang Hong with Alan, letting Alan continue to maintain the threat of counterattack after he played.

Benfica also substituted, midfielder Matic came on the stage to replace central defender Vito. It seemed that he was going to slightly strengthen the midfield and weaken the defense, but the effect was not obvious.

When Tang Hong walked out of the field, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Argentine striker Saviola on the bench of Benfica, then looked back at Nolito and Oliveira who had been replaced before, shook his head and sighed and returned to the bench to rest. .

It seems that Saviola's life in Benfica is coming to an end.

Tang Hong had a lot of associations when he saw Saviola, it was not that he recalled Saviola's past demeanor, but he made himself a warning.

Once upon a time, Saviola was also in the limelight at the same young age!

It can be seen that now he is only 30 years old and he is almost out of football in Europe.

Sitting on the bench watching the fierce battle between the players on the field, Tang Hong was enthusiastic. After winning this crucial battle, Braga only needs to kill Porto at home, then the league champion will be nine out of ten!

This is his first season in European football. He who yearns for success and desires a championship now has a strong sense of hunger!

He hopes to fill up his honor collection room, and hopes to enjoy the beauty of winning the championship with his teammates in his career.

This will prove that he did not live in vain when he returned to the world!

Benfica and Braga still struggled in the final minutes of the game, but no goals appeared again.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Yaltim changed his calm posture from the sidelines and roared loudly!

The first battle of the championship, won!
