Braga is not a weak team, and even calls itself the "fourth top in the Portuguese Super League" in the mouths of their fans.

However, the three top three Portuguese Super League: Porto, Benfica, and Portuguese Sports are all recognized, but the "Fourth" is somewhat controversial.

But just from the results of these few seasons, Braga can indeed be called the "Fourth Final". The number of times they won fourth place in the Portuguese Super League is no less than that of Arsenal, the "fourth maniac" in the Premier League.

Even the color and style of their jerseys are very similar to that of Arsenal.

So much so that there is a joke circulating in Portuguese football: Portuguese Super League is when 18 teams play for a season, and then Braga won the fourth league!

However, this season, the ambitious Braga wants to break the fate of "fourth", prepare for his troops, and want to go to a higher position to see the scenery.

Their goal this season is very clear, which is to enter the top three!

And in the first game of the new season, they will take the Maridimo flag to sacrifice!

Braga coach is the 37-year-old young coach Custodio, a former Portuguese international who has had a brilliant resume when playing football. By Cristiano Ronaldo, he has become an important transitional figure between the "golden generation" represented by Figo and the "new golden generation" represented by B Fee.

Custodio was originally the youngest coach of the season, which made him quite proud. But this popularity was snatched away by Gao Yuan from China. And the other party is 12 years younger than him.

Before the game, Custodio thought unhappily: I have to give this young boy some great taste!

Therefore, both public and private, Braga is eager to beat Maridimo away and win a good start to this season!

However, when the ambitious Coustodio saw the players walking out of the player passage, he was shocked.

I saw that his players were either depressed, angry, or panicked, while full-back Seg was still covering his neck with a painful expression on his face.

What's going on? Why did the team members who were full of fighting spirit in the locker room just now become this ghost?

What happened in the player channel?

Confused Custodio stared at the players on the field with a sluggish morale and suddenly felt something was not very good.

Compared with the visiting team, the players of the home team are full of fighting spirit, energetic, and are even ready to try, as if waiting for the start of a feast.

However, the fans at home obviously have little confidence.

Dos Barorès Stadium is a professional stadium that can accommodate 20,000 spectators. Although there are not many seats, the sound effect is good and the atmosphere at home is also very strong. In the past, the stadium was full.

But today, although it was the home team's season opening game, the attendance rate was not high, and there were sparse fans in the stands, which were not big.

Some fans who gathered together held banners and slogans in their hands, but did not just to cheer for the home team, but to condemn and condemn the club's civil strife.

Many of them pointed their finger at Gao Yuan, believing that his arrival was the root of all chaos, so they asked him to quit his job and get out of here.

Gao Yuan curled his lips disdainfully. He was called to be dismissed before he could play a formal game. There was no one else in this treatment!

Do you understand "scraping the bone to cure poison"? If I don't pierce the abscess on the club, I will never recover!

However, as the team's coach, everything depends on the results, and winning is the bottom line.

If you win the game, no matter how wrong you do, it is right; if you lose the game, it is wrong!

The referee whistle sounded and the game began.

Soon, Custodio panicked because he found that the game was going in the opposite direction of pre-match prediction.

This is the first league game of the season, and it is an encounter for all teams. Due to the lack of sufficient information support, the team can only prepare for the performance of their opponents last season's lineup.

However, Maridimo had a huge change, and there was no sign of the weak team that was bullied last season!

In the starting lineup, only Vukovic and Antonio started last season. The rest of the players were either new players introduced or young players promoted by the reserve team.

Many people cannot call their names, and they have no way to talk about their technical characteristics, football habits, etc.

Even Vukovych and Antonio seemed to have changed a lot. Especially Vukovych, who was originally famous for being submissive on the court, actually became hard. He dared to get the ball, play, make moves, and fight on the court! It seemed like he had been transformed.

Custodio simply suspects that this guy on the field is Vukovych's twin brother!

Compared with the changes in personnel, the team's style of play has also changed a lot.

In the past, Maridimo's technical and tactical styles were very unconsistent because of frequent changes in coaches. He played long passes and rushed, and played ground cooperation. Some coaches advocated attacking, while others liked to stabilize defense. As a result, the team became a four-way match, giving people the feeling of a miscellaneous army.

But now, the minds of Maridimo players are highly unified. Everyone is like parts in a precision instrument, relying on each other, cooperating with each other, gathering together, and jointly forming a precise and complete architecture.

They play the characteristics of fast, maneuverability and flexibility, and resolutely implement the defensive counterattack tactics. But the overall style is to attack and defend, and when attacking, they collectively press forward. When defending, they will recover. The entire formation is full of elasticity, like a fist ready to go. It will immediately retract after a heavy punch, preparing for the next fatal blow.

When did Maridimo become so powerful? Custodio rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

An illusion must be an illusion!

It is easy for a team to play a certain period of time in the game, but the difficult thing is that they always adhere to the correct style and style of play throughout the game.

Custodio was lucky: the opponent just swung three tricks at the beginning, and it would be great if he had survived the start of the game for more than ten minutes and reached the critical point of physical fitness!

Unfortunately, Braga failed to withstand the "three axes" and lost the "one blood" in the 15th minute.

Maridimo made a classic quick counterattack.

Antonio intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and then the team's entire formation quickly opened, and everyone rushed to their position as if they had planned in advance.

Antonio handed the ball to midfielder Joao.

Ruo'ang distributed it to Liu Yun on the left side.

Liu Yun's speed was amazing. A simple bicycle fake move, and he drove the ball forward and left the opponent's full-back who didn't know much about his speed behind.

The wind and lightning all the way to the bottom line, and the inverted triangle was passed back.

Wang Zi arrived, took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and made a move to shoot, attracting the attention of all the defenders, but he pushed the ball to the top of the arc in the middle penalty area very concealedly.

And Vukovych was waiting there.

The Croatians played very resolutely, shot the ball and shot a very fast slash.

The momentum was heavy and the ball was extremely fast. The opponent's goalkeeper could not save it, so he could only watch the ball flew into the dead corner at the bottom left of the goal!

1:0

Vukovic took the lead in making a contribution and scored the first goal of this new Maridimo team!

Custodio sat on the bench seat, and he knew it was difficult to play in this game!

But it turns out that his prediction of this game is not accurate enough. Next, the Braga will face the baptism of the storm!
