The Green Superstar

It was early June when China set off for Mexico, and it was mid-July after the World Junior Championships. The Chinese national team returned home after two days off in Mexico City. At this time, many of them were also back home.

Van der Hill will also bring the team back to China with them, leaving only one coach Wise will stay with Tang Hong as his personal coach for a long time.

Mexico City International Airport.

Tang Hong and Sun Rou came to see them off.

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

This is not a farewell to life, but it means that the days when they had been fighting together for a long time will come to an end.

I don't know when and where we will meet again next time, and whether we will meet again next time.

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

Encourage you with Jun and look forward to playing with you next time, whether it is a wild ball or wearing the same jersey again. "

After speaking, Tang Hong smiled and waved to everyone, and turned away first.

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

Tang Hong, who was reckless and unrestrained, made everyone's mind flashed again.

Tang Hong is probably the most unrestrained person they have ever seen in their lives.

Always know your goal and direction and put it into action, and never get caught up!

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, then said: "He said two roads, France is easy to go, Portugal is difficult to go."

Zhao Hanchun thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, 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 good roads are downhill. When you realize you are wrong, you can't look back."

Zhao Hanchun was thoughtful and shocked.

......

Tang Hong stayed in Mexico City for another day, then set off for a direct flight to Porto, Portugal.

Compared with the lack of competition in Ligue 1 Montréal, it is easier to take the lead. Tang Hong values ​​the temptation of Braga to have a seat in the Europa League.

At the same time, Braga's overall strength is more than that of Montréal. Whether it is intra-team competition or external league and European war competition, the internal pressure on this team will be what he desires.

On July 19th, I arrived in Porto and turned north and quickly reached Braga. Lisbon is the largest city in Portugal. It is located in the southwest corner of Portugal. Porto is on the northern coastline. Braga is next to Porto to the north. .

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

Staying in the hotel in the city of Braga, Tang Hong stood on the balcony of the hotel at night and overlooked this small classical city.

He had been to Portugal before, but that was 7 years ago.

At that time, it was to watch the European Cup, so no matter what the city is, it is very lively. In fact, Portugal has been going downhill over the years. In the European territory, it has no right to speak in politics or economy. Compared with Germany and France, the European Union plays the big brother. The role, Portugal is just a little brother.

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

The economy here is obvious in comparison with Germany and France. In France, you can buy a piece of ordinary bread for 3 euros, but in cities other than Lisbon and Porto, you can buy two pieces for 1 euro.

Since the loss of maritime hegemony, this country, which has almost no heavy industry and manufacturing, and which is slowly developing by relying on the tertiary industry, has been in decline.

But this has resulted in a comfortable living environment here, and its unique geographical environment has also made it one of the first choices for many European wealthy retirees.

As the third largest city in Portugal, Braga is not big at all. It is important to know that Portugal itself is equivalent to a large province in the northeast compared to Spain.

The biggest feature of the city is that it retains the architectural styles of different periods. The buildings of Baroque, Renaissance, Gothic, Neoclassical and other styles are crisscrossed. Celadon graffiti murals that are not rare in major cities in Portugal can be seen everywhere, including graffiti. The horses and horses are imaginative, and there are fine craftsmen.

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

The exterior walls of buildings built in different periods are mostly bright and bright, such as sky blue, pink, orange, etc., plus traditional white and cement gray, at least not the same at first glance, if it is a tourist with artistic cells, it must be Will think about it.

Tang Hong looked at the quiet city at night. This city with a population of less than 200,000 can hardly have the bustling and hustle and bustle of a city that never sleeps, but the greenery in the city makes it uniquely quiet after nightfall.

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

But the Braga Cathedral still has a special significance now.

When Tang Hong came to Braga to watch the European Cup seven years ago, he finally looked at the foot of the overcrowded mountain and did not go up to admire it, because some tourists walked up the mountain, but some devout believers went up on their knees!

As the oldest cathedral in Portugal, the special significance of the Braga Cathedral is that after nearly five hundred years of arguing with the Spanish archbishop, the pope finally ruled that the religious status of the Braga Cathedral was restored, which also became Catholic. The place of pilgrimage for Christians is not only Portugal, but there is an endless stream of believers from Spain, France and other places.

Therefore, there is a Portuguese proverb: work in Porto, entertain in Lisbon, pray in Braga!

Portugal's three giants, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, and Porto, their team emblems and symbols are Sporting Lisbon: Lion. Benfica: Eagle. Porto: The dragon!

However, Braga’s team emblem is the image of the Virgin embracing Jesus. The club is rooted in the community and is a microcosm of the culture and history of a region and a city. This is very common in Europe, especially for people like Braga 20 years ago. This is especially true for small cities with less than 100,000. It does not have to be so rich, but it will definitely show their classics and beliefs.

If you want to join a team, you have to know the city where the team is rooted. Fortunately, Braga is really small, not complicated or rich. If you really go to Glasgow, Scotland, if you can’t figure out the conflict of religious beliefs. Contradictions, and historical grievances between different ethnic groups, I am afraid it is not just about being able to integrate into the team. Maybe they will become a public enemy of the club and have to flee in a desperate manner. This is by no means alarmist.

At night, Tang Hong looked at a hillside in Braga, where Braga’s municipal stadium was located. When he came here that year, the stadium was built soon, and it was prepared for the European Cup. Although it only has four stars, the stadium is good for this. The city’s football market is more than enough to meet UEFA’s requirements for the European war. At the same time, this stadium is also unique in Tang Hong’s view in terms of design attainments!

From tomorrow on, he will work hard to be able to stand in that stadium and fight!

And become the protagonist there!
