The Green Superstar

Braga training base, although the weather is hot, but the sea breeze from time to time can still play a refreshing effect, which makes people feel refreshed.

Braga’s first team has more than 30 players assembled to start the morning training, Yaltim introduced Tang Hong to everyone, and did not intend to waste more words.

Braga’s players just looked at Tang Hong with different expressions, and even if they recognized him, they stopped paying attention.

The replacement of players in a team is normal, especially in the Portuguese Super League team.

In the ten years before and after the 21st century, Dutch players are hard currency in the transfer market, thanks to Van Gaal’s Ajax Golden Generation and the implementation of the Bosman Act. Since the previous generation of Dutch geniuses, Robben, Snee After the Dutch players represented by Germany, Van Persie, and Van der Vaart landed in the five major leagues, the Netherlands experienced a loss of talents, and the competitiveness of the league declined year by year. It was replaced by the Portuguese Super League!

This is inseparable from the rise of Mendes as an agent predator in European football, constantly sending players from South America to the top five leagues after processing in the Portuguese Super League.

Braga, as the team that has emerged in the past ten years and is the closest to subverting the traditional order of the Portuguese Super League, they did not rely on the gold master to engage in gold football, but with carefully selected low-cost signings, deep cultivation. The careful cultivation of meticulous work, and the conscientious business of reaping the rewards have gradually developed into a virtuous circle.

In the past 10 seasons, Braga’s expenditure and income in the transfer market are added together, and they have made a profit of 30 million euros!

There is naturally a period of mass replacement. In terms of the changes in the transfer market this summer, Braga has left over 20 players!

There are also more than 20 signings!

Not all players will get in and out of the first team, and there are some players who have not even entered the club door after they are bought and then resold on loan. For example, Juanca from Real Madrid’s youth academy was bought out by Braga for 2.2 million euros. To Zaragoza.

Like the old goalkeeper Quim debuted in Braga, he went to Benfica after ten years of playing, stayed in Benfica for six years and then returned to Braga to play his aftermath. His 17-year career was not diligent in changing clubs, so he experienced and There are countless scenes witnessing the people coming and going in the locker room. Of course, there will be no special reactions due to the arrival of the newcomers. Just like Assistant Professor Vieira said, it is not certain whether he can stay.

Due to Braga’s success in the Europa League last season, they recovered a lot of cash from the players they sold in the summer. Among them, Pizzi and Silvio went to Atletico Madrid to increase the club’s income by nearly 20 million euros, but the club did not I didn’t spend all of this money. As of now, it has only spent less than 5 million euros. It can be regarded as the board of stinginess, or it can be regarded as the board of directors not blindly expanding, because in fact, the extra 10 million euros may not be able to give the club. What a big change.

In fact, Braga does not have the financial resources to bring in tens of millions of euro-level players. In the past ten years, if you don’t count the more than two million euros spent on buying out Juanca this season, the club’s biggest expenditure in signings was bought from Brazil. With the current main center Lima, it only cost less than 1.5 million euros six years ago.

Buying a player at the level of tens of millions of euros naturally has to give this player a salary that matches his worth. This is the helplessness of the small team. Directly let them take out 10 million euros. In fact, they can get it out by biting their teeth. , What about afterwards? The annual salary cost? As the wage system is affected by the knock-on effect?

Therefore, it is still difficult for Braga to challenge the more financially rich three giants of the Portuguese Super League. It seems that most of the past few years have been fourth in the league and won the best second place in the club’s Portuguese Super League history in 10 years. But last season Immediately he was beaten back to his original form and won the fourth place. Although it seems that the ranking has not changed dramatically, you can see how much the gap has been opened by looking at the difference!

Porto won the championship undefeated last season, with 27 wins and 3 draws in 30 league matches, enough to make any team in the world feel desperate when they come to the Portuguese Super League. They created the highest score in Portuguese Super League history with 84 points.

Braga is fourth with only 46 points, which is 38 points away from the championship!

Even with the 71 points of the Braga runners-up in 10 years, Braga dropped 25 points in the season!

Even though there is a reason for the lack of performance in the league while taking into account the European war, it can’t be justified when Porto reached the Europa League final at the same time and defeated Braga 1-0 to win the cup.

Last year’s Portuguese Super League made Mourinho II Boas, the Portuguese Super League won the unbeaten title and the UEFA Cup win. Only these two items made him go to Stamford Bridge with the new generation of star coach halo, which seems to be a replica of Muri Neo’s success trajectory.

The Portuguese Super League is definitely a stage that can breed stars, regardless of players or coaches.

Although Tang Hong had difficulty communicating with his teammates, he didn’t need to communicate after the training started. He only had to follow the coach’s request to train.

Now is the summer preparation period, the team is accumulating physical fitness for the new season, so a lot of aerobic training is the main content.

These trainings are all off-ball training. To put it bluntly, it means to train well, so that the body state that has been relaxed due to the holiday will be re-energized and reach a better physical level.

Tang Hong completed the coaches’ requirements step by step. According to his physical fitness, even the adult national team is definitely among the best in China, but in Braga, his physical fitness has no advantage.

The midfielders are taller and stronger than him. Nearly half of the team is white, and the other half is black or mixed. Tang Hong is very inconspicuous in the group of more than 30 people.

Only when sprinting can he make his teammates look different, but football is not exactly a track and field sprint, so running fast may not necessarily be good.

For lunch at the training base, the chef team of the professional club will be equipped with nutritionists and will arrange the players’ diet very professionally. Tang Hong can only say that Tang Hong is not satisfied with the taste. At this time, he will miss Sun Rou’s craftsmanship very much.

The Portuguese and Spaniards have similar work schedules and schedules. They go to bed late and get up late, take a nap from one to three noon, work until seven or eight in the evening, and eat dinner basically after half past eight.

After lunch, Tang Hong went back to the hotel to take a nap. Before he left in the afternoon, Sun Rou specifically asked him what he had eaten at the club.

Tang Hong fell asleep and came to the club at 3:30 in the afternoon to start training again.

The training intensity in the afternoon was greater than that in the morning. Tang Hong felt something wrong with his body when it was close to six o’clock. When it didn’t darken by six thirty, he suddenly came to the side of the court after running back and forth and spit out. !

WOW!

Now those teammates who didn’t pay attention to him are looking at him!

Assistant coach Vieira ran to ask him about his situation. After Tang Hong gave a thumbs up and said he was okay, Vieira asked him to end today’s training.

When Tang Hong left the training ground, it was quite interesting to see the eyes of his teammates.

It seems to be laughing at his inability to adapt to this training intensity.

In fact, although the training intensity is higher than when he was training before, he can definitely cope with it. The key is that his body is still adjusting the jet lag in the past two days, and he is also a little unaccustomed to the diet. It caused him to vomit after intensive training.

He didn’t have the slightest discouragement or other changes in his mentality about this, he just needed to rest and adjust, and then he could adapt to the new environment.

Head coach Yaltim looked at Tang Hong’s back thoughtfully.

It is hard to say that he has high hopes for Tang Hong. It is obviously foolish to bet on a player with no professional field experience.

Even when Messi and Ronaldo made their debut, no coach dared to pin all hopes on them.

What Yaltim was thinking about was how to arrange Tang Hong.

Just look at the current first-team lineup of more than 30 people. The Portuguese Super League has only 30 rounds. There will be a local cup in October. The Europa League will go as far as it can go. There will never be many competitions, and neither Will be included in the training schedule.

Counting only the forwards, there are now as many as 6 main players and substitutes in Braga!

If Tang Hong is signed, he will be seventh!
