The news that Tang Hong won the second place in the European Golden Boy Awards caused a sensation in China, but it was not in the air in Portugal.

However, when the Portuguese Cup mid-week, Barbosa, who was interviewed with Yartim before the game, was indignant for Tang Hong.

"The Golden Boy Awards selection is ridiculous. I don't know how powerful Mario Gotze is, but I know that if he comes to Braga, he will definitely not be able to make such a huge contribution as Tang Hong."

Barbosa's remarks naturally cannot change the results of the Golden Boy Award selection, but Tang Hong, as the person involved, feels warm.

Tang Hong sat on the bench in the Portuguese Cup, and in a few days the Portuguese Super League will usher in the last league before the winter break, which will be their time to show their strength.

At night, the game at the Municipal Stadium was not very concerned. Braga used the substitute lineup to play well. Nuno Gomez played again and helped the team beat Bilanisse 2-1 to advance to the Portuguese Cup quarterfinals!

Braga is ready to win the last league victory before the winter break, which will ensure that they spend Christmas as leaders.

Unexpected news happened before the game, at least Tang Hong was a little surprised when watching Portuguese sports TV news on the morning of the game day.

They will be a guest at Ounihans this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, Ounihans coach Faquera made a statement despising Braga in an interview.

"Braga's current ranking position is only temporary. The truly powerful teams in the Portuguese Super League are Porto and Benfica. They will collapse in the second half of the season, and we will also work hard to beat them tonight, at least not let them take three points away from us.

Each of us is confident about it!”

Since Braga has never won the top league championship before, most teams will not make a statement even if they have the ambition to defeat Braga when they encounter Braga. The situation is better than others, so it is not wrong to be low-key.

But local media in Braga interpreted this as Faquera's dying struggle!

There have been reports that Faquera will be discontinued as soon as the winter break. Since the new season, Ounihans has only won two league games. Even if he has a record of drawing Sporting Lisbon and drawing Porto at home, he cannot become his death-free gold medal.

Perhaps even Porto could only return home with a grudge, Faquera was indeed somewhat confident to win Braga at home.

Yartim is not good at fighting people, and he doesn't like to cause trouble, so he chooses to pretend to ignore it.

But the generals of Braga will not ignore it.

At night, Tang Hong, wearing a long-sleeved winter jersey and gloves, made a debut as the starter.

Standing in the middle circle and kicked off with Lima, Lima looked at the coach of Ounihans Faquera on the sidelines. The latter was 46 years old, with a solemn look on his face and seemed to be filled with the anxiety of a middle-aged man.

Lima turned around and asked Tang Hong: "How can he have the confidence to defeat us? The spiritual victory method? I don't think the players of Ounihans are like they are getting bloody."

Tang Hong shrugged and said, "Who knows, but it's always right to have ambitions."

Lima smiled silently and said, "Don't we have one? If we can't win this game, we will probably not be happy throughout the Christmas holiday. So in order to have a happy Christmas, we will not only win, but also beat them up today!"

Tang Hong smiled.

It's always good to have motivation.

This is what he felt most deeply in Braga in nearly half a year. He could even imagine that if he was playing football in China, the players would always "professionally" separate football from life completely!

It doesn’t matter if you lose the game, drink and dance.

Winning may not necessarily bring them a lot of sense of accomplishment.

The game officially started with the referee's whistle.

Braga thought that the coach of Ounihans would be able to speak wildly, but after the opening, Ounihans took the initiative to put pressure on Braga in a relatively simple way. At the same time, there was no impressive player in the team who could tear Braga's defense with his personal ability.

In the 7th minute of the game, Dougron successfully cleared the ball in the backcourt, Barbosa headed the ball back, and Amorin passed the ball to Tang Hong's feet with a diagonal pass.

Tang Hong, who was under key control, took the initiative to dribble and retreat and dribble and cut across the middle, almost driving two opponents to follow the defense and send a transfer ball. Viana took the initiative to cut in and cut in the right side of the frontcourt, and completed the adjustment and sent a straight pass.

Lima successfully cut into the penalty area with offside and pushed the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and easily scored!

The Braga generals ran to celebrate, but the fans of Ounihans' home team looked disappointed.

Head coach Faquera looked ugly.

Ounihans is actually not strong and has a bad state, otherwise he would not have won two league games since the new season. If he makes a ruthless statement, he can make the team's strength soar, then the football coach can swear the destruction of the universe.

The key is that the unstable coach position has made Faquela seek medical treatment in a hurry, and he hopes that the team can create miracles!

Braga's strength this season was even Benfica fell down, and Porto only completed the reversal in the last moment. In the last round, Ferreira had just been slaughtered for 7 goals. How could he fail in front of Ounihans?

Ounihans performed poorly overall, and their fans had long had psychological expectations to accept it.

After being depressed for half a season, how could it be that the mighty momentum suddenly became strong today?

But this upcoming Christmas may be depressed to remind people of football.

It was cold and the number of fans coming to the away game in Braga has also decreased, and many people have to prepare for Christmas and cannot get rid of them.

The game continued, Braga became active after scoring the goal. He was cautious before, but now he let go of his hands and feet to bombard Ounihans!

Barbosa and Amorin frequently shot long distances in front of the penalty area, and Tang Hong was targeted by the key defense and waited for an opportunity.

The counterattacks made by Ounihans, who could only defend passively, frequently died in the midfield area, and Braga had a somewhat wolf-like aura that shocked him.

Faquera saw that the development of the game situation was completely different from expectations, and was worried but had no choice but to do anything. She looked expressionless and seemed to be able to pray that the board of directors would be kind and not let him lay off and unemployed on Christmas.

Braga got a free kick offensive opportunity in the frontcourt before the end of the first half.

Tang Hong's direct shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Custodio scored a goal in the penalty area to help Braga lead two goals away.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Brah strengthened his momentum.

Onihans began to set up a bus. They not only seemed to have lost confidence, but they didn't even have the idea of ​​counterattacking.

But Braga showed a stance of thunder and rain.

Tang Hong's shot from the left rib of the penalty area was a bit unbelievable. Lima's chance to grab the ball and head the ball high made Yartim stunned.

Seeing that the game was 70 minutes old, Bayano knocked the ball diagonally back from the right, Viana drifted inward and stumbled. The football rolled to Lima's feet by a terrible spell. The latter's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, but the football in the penalty area was first shot and sent into the goal!

After scoring the goal, Tang Hong turned his head and looked at the linebacker, and felt relieved before he saw the opponent raise the flag.

The away atmosphere was a bit deserted, but it did not prevent Tang Hong and his teammates from celebrating the goal!

When he ran to the sidelines with a smile and shouted at the visiting team fans in the stands, his teammates also ran to him with joyful smiles.

Tang Hong turned around and laughed at everyone, "How can I lose now? I want to write a book!"

Barbosa glanced at Faquela who had already sat down in front of the coach's seat. The opponent lowered his head slightly and seemed to be discouraged. He had begun to lose control of the team.

Braga leads with three goals!

Yartim felt relieved and could have at least a proud Christmas.

Even though the team is in good shape, it is impossible to confidently believe that they will win every game, especially after losing to Porto.

Braga was still attacking wildly for the remaining 20 minutes of the game, and Ounihans defended with all his might, but Braga scored a basket of opportunities.

Tang Hong's condition also declined, and the ball handling and breakthroughs were reduced a lot.

Afterwards, Tang Hong personally summarized that the game was closely related to the weather. The cold weather will naturally suppress the players' state to a certain extent, and at the same time, it also improves the self-protection awareness. The body instinctively cannot achieve the usual level of excitement.

In the end, Braga beat Ounihans 3-0 away and scored 3 points.

In the same round, Benfica and Porto continued to win. When the winter break came, Braga still led Porto by 1 point and Benfica by 2 points.
Chapter completed!
