Braga and Benfica played the Portuguese League Cup final at Stadium Light.

Surprisingly, Braga and Benfica fans were in the stadium stands!

It is enough to show the fanaticism of Braga fans for the team at the end of the season!

The Braga generals were energetic and arrogant, while the entire Benfica team was obviously shrouded in a bleak cloud.

They were 5 points behind in the league and gave Porto 5 points basically declared that they had no hope of entering the Champions League next season. This battle with Braga for the Portuguese League Cup championship is a pure honor!

When the emcee on the scene introduced the starting lineup of Braga players, every time a player's name was said, a huge cheer sounded from the Guangming Stadium. Until Tang Hong's name was pronounced, "hong" and "hong" were repeatedly echoed in the stadium like thunder!

In contrast, Benfica fans' reactions when Benfica players were read were relatively dull.

Braga and Benfica will send all the main players on the court, hoping to win the game with the strongest lineup.

Yartim, who was wearing a suit and tie in the finals, has been praised by the Portuguese media in recent days. He dare not say that he is famous. At least he will be in the three giants of the Portuguese Super League. He will be just around the corner.

Braga cannot retain good players, and likewise, it is impossible to retain good coaches.

Benfica coach Joe Jessus seemed to be worried on the sidelines, and seemed to have not recovered from the attack of failure in the league championship and the unattainable qualifying for the Champions League.

Benfica's consecutive home loss to Porto and Braga in the sprint stage of the season was indeed a great blow to morale. It was not surprising that he even lost to Sporting Lisbon in the last round and fell to the bottom suddenly.

Jessus naturally would not give up the Portuguese Cup. With Bragana's strongest counterattack in Portugal, even the kid next door knew that if you want to defeat Braga, you should not give Braga a defensive counterattack environment.

But before the game, Benfica was asked to focus on control and the defense had to compress space, but Jessus found that the team could not effectively complete his commands.

Braga does not play defensive counterattack for a day or two. He adopts such a tactic when he fights European games at the beginning of the season. It has been continuation from the middle of the season to the second half of the season. However, Benfica has not been too conservative in its focus on control and defense for a long time.

It is easy for a coach to change the team, but it is impossible for the team to perform well in an instant.

Amid the noise and hustle and bustle cheers, the two teams fought on the court.

Benfica wanted to prove himself too much, which led to them not controlling the rhythm in the game. Aimal's creativity in the midfield and frontcourt was still extraordinary. However, Benfica's forward line was a little too hasty on the offensive end, and his blind kicking shot and the last pass were generally of low quality, which made Benfica's offensive sound and little rain.

Braga's counterattack was awesome.

In the 29th minute of the game, Tang Hong, who had suffered fouls one after another, came to the middle to hit the wall and cut in a small area, and then passed by Louis Son to complete the offside.

When Benfica's defense line was chasing back, Tang Hong passed the ball diagonally in the right rib of the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area.

Viana, who followed up quickly, knocked the ball back on the right side of the penalty area and found Lima, who pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

Braga's Trident, which was not worthy of its name from the beginning, is now threatening to counterattack!

Braga led Shillings Stadium with one goal and became a stage for Braga fans to revel.

Benfica's blockade against Tang Hong is quite tight, especially when he wants to dribble in the frontcourt, there are always at least two or three players around him to attack.

Therefore, Tang Hong either operates a large-scale operation to get rid of the situation of being encircled or creates opportunities for his teammates.

Benfica quickly launched a counterattack after losing the ball. Cardozo grabbed the point in front of the goal and almost tied the score for the team. At the critical moment, Coelo's tackle blocking broke the ball out of the baseline.

Witsel's long shot outside the penalty area also made Quim almost surrender.

Before the first half was over, Tang Hong took the ball from the left side of the midfield and was instantly besieged by Pereira, Garcia and Gaitan.

After spiking and dodging Gaitan's press, Tang Hong passed the ball with his left foot in the frontcourt middle.

Benfica's back line thought he had stared at Viana and Lima to death, but Barbosa turned offside and made a single shot.

Even though the ball was not fast, Barbosa still pushed the ball smoothly into the penalty area line, and then shot out with a shot!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper surrendered.

Barbosa was extremely excited after scoring the goal, and called everyone to rush to the sidelines with him and then fell to the ground and slid for several meters.

Although Tang Hong did what he said, he promised that he would never use such a celebration method again!

The friction made my chest hurt so much, and the little brother felt very uncomfortable.

Braga led two goals, Benfica's morale was hit hard again!

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

Braga doesn't care too much about his opponent's condition, they just need to win.

But the outside world can see that Benfica is in a relatively sluggish state.

Only a few key players performed at the passing line, while other players were obviously dragging their feet.

After the intermission, the two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

This time it was Braga's turn to start controlling the rhythm and force Benfica to actively fight back.

Of course, Yartim, who has never won any championship, will not talk about ideals with Benfica, and will only use the most realistic means to win the championship trophy!

Benfica's counter-attack efficiency is actually not as high as Braga, because there are not many engineers in Benfica's team. You can't let players like Aimal and Gaitan do the dirty and tiring work so well, and it's even difficult to do your best.

But when Braga played defensive counterattack this season, even Tang Hong would join the counterattack work, but sometimes his teammates asked him not to come back and to take a good starting position as much as possible so that Braga's counterattack could create a greater threat.

Benfica's anti-robbery work always reveals a gap for Braga to successfully turn the ball over, and at the same time lacks the continuity of counter-robbery, which can enable Braga to launch a threatening offensive after successfully transferring the middle and backcourts.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Benfica, who was already a little tired of counter-attacking, was easily passed by Braga and pushed through the half.

Barbosa sent a precise straight pass through the right rib area of ​​Benfica's back line.

After Viana stepped forward and cut inside, she saw Lima quickly following up in the middle to lead Benfica's defense line to retreat into the penalty area. He decisively knocked the ball back down to the triangle area.

Tang Hong cut in one step and stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area and adjusted it, then shot with his right foot!

The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Braga 3:0 Benfica secured the victory!

Benfica's generals looked in a dismayed look and seemed to have not left the center of the storm.

The Braga generals celebrated the goal with great enthusiasm and interacted with the fans in the stands with great joy.

Although this is a final, it is reasonable to let the main players play the whole game, but considering that they will face Valencia at home in 4 days, they can only replace Tang Hong, Lima and Viana one after another.

Tang Hong did not complain after the match, but he did not sit on the bench, but stood in front of the bench and looked at the arena with anticipation.

If he wins, he will win the first championship trophy in his career. How can he not look forward to it?

The game is still in progress, and it is definitely inappropriate to laugh and play. Barbosa stood beside Tang Hong, poking Tang Hong's ribs from time to time, so that Tang Hong's body can dodge reflexibly. When he saw Tang Hong's reaction, Barbosa grinned.

Tang Hong could only roll his eyes at him helplessly.

Some players are obviously children who are not grown up, and it is obvious that Barbosa is.

Tang Hong shook his head slightly, and could only poke his ribs suddenly while Barbosa was not paying attention.

Barbosa fell directly on the bench while retreating.

The noise caused all the players on the Braga bench got up to check Barbosa's condition.

Tang Hong turned around and pretended to be surprised and quickly pulled Barbosala. The other party suffered a loss and could only glar at Tang Hong and waved to others that it was okay.

Everyone is paying attention to the game, so naturally they don’t know the cause and effect of Barbosa’s fall, but there are too many scenes on the scene, and the scene took advantage of the opportunity to die to play the scene of the two people’s small movements just now on TV.

Braga fans are about to laugh to death.

This pair of live treasures are in love and killing each other!

But it was also Barbosa who asked himself!

As the game was approaching, Braga players were all standing on the sidelines, and the coach was no exception.

Benfica lost much motivation after falling behind three goals, and the game ended smoothly.

When the final whistle sounded, the players and coaches from Braga rushed into the field together.

Tang Hong and Barbosa hugged each other's shoulders and ran into the stadium. The two yelled wildly but didn't know who was mixing garlic at their feet. They fell to the ground and rolled twice...

Braga Chairman El Salvador smiled in the box and applauded the team for the championship!

All the goals set for Yartim when he arrived have been achieved.

Entering the Champions League, win at least one domestic cup!

As the club chairman, of course, he is proud of his keen eyes.

But his eyes were locked on Tang Hong but his expression calmed down.

Tang Hong is already a player who is a member of the club's historical legend!

El Salvador is self-aware that Braga can't keep Tang Hong. If he plays the emotional card and forces him to stay, even if Tang Hong is willing, Braga may not be able to afford the salary after the renewal of the contract!

That would definitely break the current wage architecture.

There are only one year left for Tang Hong and Braga's contract with him in two months. Braga's last chance to sell Tang Hong is in this summer transfer window.

El Salvador knew that it was impossible for a 35 million euro entrant who spent a lot of money during the winter break to offer the quotation, but a base of 20 million euros was definitely his bottom line, because no matter how the trade-offs were weighed, the benefits that Tang Hong could bring if he played for Braga for another year would be at least 20 million euros!
Chapter completed!
