The Green Superstar

When the sun rose again as usual, the morning light moved gently like a curtain, turning the entire city of Braga from dim to bright.

On a hillside less than three kilometers away from Braga’s most famous World Cultural Heritage Cathedral, Tang Hong, wearing only shorts, stood barefoot on a fitness mat and was doing yoga. He was able to overlook the mountain. When Braga came out, the hazy beauty was like an ink painting.

There is a swimming pool made of marble behind, this lawn is part of his new home, and where the **** is steep, there is a fence, where you have the privilege of overlooking the panoramic view of Braga.

The flat-storey villa behind the pool is not big or luxurious, but it is definitely more than enough for him and Sun Rou to live in, with plenty of sunshine, spacious rooms, and a vast back garden.

In addition to the garage, the decoration in the villa is very simple, with whitewashed walls, simple suspended ceilings, wooden floors and wardrobes built along the way, complete water and electricity communications, and heaters with wall-hung boilers.

It took only a day for Sun Rou to complete the originally empty villa with all household appliances, and immediately filled the originally monotonous room with the taste of home.

Tang Hong signed a professional contract with Braga. He only made one modification to the contract, changing the contract period from three years to two years. As a new coach, his contract with Braga was three. In 2017, he thought that he would also give Tang Hong three years, which was a synchronous rhythm, but he did not expect Tang Hong to have his own opinions.

As for the contract treatment, it is almost negligible. That little income is not enough to allow Tang Hong to live in a half-mountain villa worth 890,000 euros.

Tang Hong got the contract and Sun Rou got a new kitchen.

The new season is approaching, Braga will soon usher in the pre-season warm-up match, and the new season will kick off in two weeks!

Braga’s pre-season preparations to accumulate physical fitness has passed. Recently, technical training and tactical drills have been frequent. Tang Hong is the player who communicates with Yaltim the most, because he is a newcomer and because he needs to spend more time understanding the coach’s needs. The meaning expressed.

Assistant coach Antonio Vieira said that there will be a 30-minute intra-team teaching game this afternoon. Tang Hong will definitely play the game, so he needs to better prepare for today’s game and adjust his physical state from the morning. .

Before breakfast, he swims in the pool for 15 minutes, and after having breakfast with Sun Rou, he rides his bike down the mountain to the Braga training base.

Sun Rou bought two bicycles. During the day, she would ride a lady with a basket on her bicycle down the mountain to purchase food, and she would also walk around the city. Wise lived in a small apartment at the foot of the mountain. For bachelors, The one-bedroom apartment can definitely make him very comfortable.

When he came to the training base to train as usual, Tang Hong habitually sat alone at noon, but some people also sat around him with a dinner plate.

Barbosa, Viana, Amorim.

These three people are quite lingering, but Tang Hong is not disgusted. Maybe they regard themselves as a pastime to pass the boring time, but at the same time they do teach Tang Hong some Portuguese.

Tang Hong will take the initiative to communicate with people in Portuguese, but the target is basically the coach. There is nothing to talk about between teammates, and there are not many topics in common.

The three of Barbosa came to the door, which on the contrary made Tang Hong irresistible. After all, a little more communication can make more progress.

“In the afternoon teaching match, you definitely want to behave, right?”

Amorim asked Tang Hong as usual.

Tang Hong nodded and said, “Of course, there is still some curiosity. I want to know where I am in this team.”

Barbosa gave him a thumbs up and said, “Well, which team have you been assigned to?”

Tang Hong frowned and asked, “Has the team been divided?”

The three looked at each other, and Barbosa frowned and asked, “Didn’t you team up?”

Tang Hong shook his head and said, “No one told me about the team.”

Barbosa said helplessly: “Well, then you have to ask, after all, we have so many players, don’t forget you, you can ask Pires.”

Tang Hong thought for a while and really should ask, if everyone else has already divided into teams, but not for himself, this is obviously a problem!

When he was about to get up, Amorim raised his hand and said to him: “Pires doesn’t speak English like Vieira, you can only communicate with him in Portuguese.”

Tang Hong thought that Pires in the coaching staff really only speaks Portuguese.

Barbosa said to him: “Come, I will teach you, and you will ask him which team I am assigned to? Then you write down his answer and I will translate it for you.”

Tang Hong followed Barbosa three times in Portuguese and then got up and walked to the coaching staff table. He politely called Pires, and then said what Barbosa had taught him. Then, the table full of coaches All stunned!

Artim slapped the table and scolded Tang Hong, “What nonsense? Hurry up and disappear for me!”

Tang Hong suddenly realized that he was being tricked. Turning around, Barbosa and Amorim both bowed their heads at the dining table. Their shoulders were shaking, obviously suppressing the laughter. Although Viana also laughed, he was slightly more reserved. .

The other table players looked at Tang Hong thoughtfully, wondering what he had done.

Tang Hong apologized to Pires in Portuguese, then returned to his seat and sat down to look at Barbosa and Amorim, waiting for the two to make a weird whining sound before it stopped.

He reluctantly said to the three of them: “I don’t mind you guys joking, but please have a limit. The disrespectful behavior of the coach is obviously out of bounds.

Okay, what exactly did you just ask me to say? “

Speaking of this, Barbosa and Amorim want to laugh again!

Viana explained to Tang Hong.

Tang Hong was really speechless.

What Barbosa taught him just now is simply: Can I enter your chrysanthemum?

It’s no wonder that Pires didn’t immediately get angry, but was shocked, and others reacted first.

……

After the lunch break, when they came to train in the afternoon, Barbosa, Viana, and Amorim were arranged by the coach for physical training. It was definitely a chore.

Obviously the coaches are not fools. Knowing that these three little gangs used Tang Hong to smash them, there is no need to punish them, but it is necessary for the three to understand that they know everything.

After six o’clock, Yaltim clapped his hands to gather the team and began to prepare for the teaching game within the team.

Because there are more than 30 people in the team and they are divided into two teams, Tang Hong has also roughly figured out the status of the players in the Braga team these days.

Today, the main force is divided into a team. It is understandable that the new season is approaching. If Yaltim does not want to create pressure on himself at the beginning of the season, it must be to make the main force fully adapt to the tactics. As for the substitutes and rotation players, naturally go first. Wait in line, I can’t take care of it yet.

The veteran goalkeeper Quim is the main force to do my part, and the substitute goalkeeper is the 28-year-old Italian Boni.

In terms of defenders, apart from the center-back Brazilian Everton, no one is the absolute main force that can not be touched by Thunder, but even if the rotation is only between a few people, right backs Juniol Bayano and Miguel Lopez, Dougrand and Coelho at the centre-backs, and Eziegille and Paulo Vinicius at the left-backs.

The midfielder is Viana, Portugal international midfielder Custodio, Barbosa, Mossolo, Amorim.

There are two main strikers, Brazil’s Alain and Lima, and the substitutes Ukala and Kalou, Nuno Gomez and Paul Cesar, except for the 23-year-old Ukala and Nuno Gomez. The other forwards are Brazilian players.

The substitute and rotation players were assigned to a team. Tang Hong is naturally in this team, and in their team there is Braga’s most famous star!

The Portuguese international star Nuno Gomez, who just joined in the summer, is 35 years old, but his resume is the most brilliant in the Braga team. He has followed the Portuguese national team in many intercontinental and world-class competitions!

Due to his position, Tang Hong was not scheduled to enter the starting lineup. In this 30-minute teaching game, if he comes on the bench, it may only take about 10 minutes.

But he remained patient and still listened carefully to Vieira’s deployment and understood its intentions.

At the beginning of the teaching match, the main team is of course stronger and has the advantage on the field, but obviously neither of the two teams is going all out. It can be said that the teaching match is for the team to practice the overall tactics, not for the real battle. .

But it is obvious that most of the players on the bench have used too much force, but there is no chance to create a decent threat.

Nuno Gomez is very active. From his fighting spirit, it can be seen that he is not coming to Braga for retirement, and he hopes to do something here.

The game lasted 21 minutes, the main team led by 3 goals, the gap was obvious.

At this time, the team was replaced. Several players on both sides were replaced. Tang Hong came on the field at this time. When he just ran into the field and passed Nuno Gomez, the other party didn’t even look at Tang Hong, but asked. : “What position are you playing?”

It seems that he did not listen to the coach’s deployment before the teaching match.

Tang Hong said to him: “Winger, left, right…”

Nuno Gomez still said indifferently: “Okay, pass the ball to me, and defend it at other times.”

He seemed to be talking to the air. Tang Hong’s heart was like a mirror. Knowing that he was not taken seriously, he did not refute it.

He is never special in Braga’s training ground. The special thing is that he is a Chinese. The special thing is that he does not speak Portuguese. The special thing is that he can be a source of jokes for his teammates.

As for the MVP of the World Junior Championships, no one cares. The players who can play here have real materials. It is really different than fame or not the reputation of the World Junior Championships.

Nuno Gomez was also a young genius. The bosses he followed in the Portuguese shirt were named Figo and Rui Costa. He witnessed the rise and maturity of Ronaldo. He broke through Kahn’s door. In the European Cup, he scored twice to reverse England and beat Parma in the Coppa Italia final. He played for Benfica twice for more than ten years, which is already a legend there.

If Tang Hong really thought that after winning the World Junior Championships, the whole world would give him face and value him, then he would have lived two lives in vain!
