053 Acting like a clown

When Tang Hong returned to the hotel in the evening, Sun Rou had prepared a sumptuous table of food. This was the takeaway she ordered after consulting the menu in a restaurant within one kilometer of the surrounding area in the afternoon.

Tang Hong vomited before he came back, and his diet became lighter. Fortunately, Sun Rou prepared dinner mainly for lightness. After all, she was confused most of the time difference in the hotel these two days due to the adjustment of the time difference. Naturally, she knew that it was best not to eat heavy-tasting food at this time to increase the burden on her body.

Wise asked Tang Hong about the daytime training situation. Tang Hong told him truthfully about his feelings, but did not tell the other party that he had vomited. It was just a trivial matter, and he would leave it behind after he got up.

Wise told him earnestly that he needed to adjust his mindset before adapting.

In terms of power confrontation, Tang Hong may not definitely have a confrontation advantage in the U17 World Cup. His advantage is only in China. If this scope is expanded to the professional arena, then he will definitely be bullied in terms of power in Braga.

Don’t wait until you are ravaged by your teammates with various physical confrontations before thinking about ways. Making pre-adjustment will help you better adapt.

The physical confrontation is hard to hurry, not to mention that Tang Hong, who pays more attention to technological growth, will inevitably be negatively affected if he only wants to crush his opponents in terms of strength.

Tang Hong was as good as a stream of goodness, and Wise's suggestion made him wake up as if he was dreaming.

Today he did see some of the gaps between him and Braga's first team.

Physical energy is one aspect, strength is the other.

These are not something he can close the gap by working hard over the past few years, after all, those players are much older than him.

He is also in a period of rapid growth. At this stage, the improvement of technology is slightly higher than that of the body. When the technology is basically close to the standardization, the strengthening of the body will become the mainstream. At this time, the strengthening of the body is not behind the strengthening of the peers, and at the same time pays attention to protection and avoid injuries. Then, maintaining patience will usher in a new situation when it reaches the next stage.

After resting for a night, the next day when Tang Hong came to Braga training ground again, his teammates were talking to him with a smile, but because he couldn't understand, he told the other party in English that he didn't understand, and then there was no further information.

Tang Hong's condition was much better today than yesterday.

All training content can keep up with the pace, but because of the high intensity, he sweats more than before and hydrates a little more frequently.

During the afternoon training break, Tang Hong sat on the lawn and had just drunk half a bottle of mineral drinks. He knew that he could not drink any more, otherwise he would deteriorate in the next training, so he spit out the remaining half of the bottle of water by rinsing his mouth.

Suddenly, something was gently hit by the back. Tang Hong looked back and saw that it was a football. Someone among the three teammates who were also sitting on the lawn not far away waved to him.

It was the second day since he came to the team, and Tang Hong was naturally able to recognize the first team members clearly, but he may not be considered a teammate now, after all, he was just trying out here.

The person who waved to him was Portuguese midfielder Eld Barbosa, the No. 10 in the team, and is naturally a star player. He is just 24 years old this year.

The two sitting next to him are 28-year-old Hugo Viana and 26-year-old Ruben Amorin, all of whom are Portuguese local players.

This is not surprising. The team is either a Portuguese player or a Brazilian player. Apart from these two countries, there are very few players in other countries.

Tang Hong knew that the other party might be bored and wanted to tease him, but he walked over and stood in front of the three of them and spread his hands and said, "What are you doing?"

He uses English.

Among these three, Hugo Viana debuted at the time with a genius halo, and went to the Premier League for a while at a young age. Unfortunately, she failed and returned to Portugal after a few years. She is now at the golden age of her career. Although she has not become a big star, she is the main player in Braga.

As for Reuben Amorin, he is a midfielder with little fame and contributions, and is also the main player in Bragan.

In addition to recognizing these players, Tang Hong also needs to distinguish their circle. For example, these three people must be very close because they are both local players and the team's main players.

As for the phenomenon of other Brazilian players joining each other, it is also very obvious. If Tang Hong can meet a Chinese player, he will inevitably have a close relationship with the other party, and the fellow villagers will meet the fellow villagers.

Barbosa, who looked up at Tang Hong, asked him in stiff English: "Do you want to stay?"

Tang Hong nodded honestly.

Barbosau immediately smiled and said, "I have a way!"

Tang Hong's face was calm and calm.

Barbosa turned his head to look at Viana, who seemed to be in a state of interest and didn't want to pay attention to him. However, Ruben Amorin waved to Tang Hong again. Tang Hong squatted down to face the other party. Amorin also said in broken English: "Our coach Yartim likes something. If you buy it and give it to him, he will definitely sign you!"

Tang Hong turned his head and looked at Barbosa, and the other party immediately said, "Have you heard of Port wine? The most famous wine in Porto City south of Braga, you can buy two bottles for Yartim, this is his favorite!"

Amorin continued, "You go tonight, and tomorrow you will have a jersey with your name and number printed on it!"

"We are teammates!"

The two Portuguese players sang and laughed on their faces.

But they didn't see Tang Hong react for a long time, so Barbosa hit Viana and frowned: "Why don't he understand what we are saying, right? Tell him again."

Viana has been to the Premier League after all, and her English is much better than them.

Before Viana could reply, Tang Hong spoke.

"I understand what you said."

Barbosa and Amorin immediately became energetic, but they were stunned when they heard Tang Hong say the next sentence.

"Thank you for acting like a clown for me to watch, but I'm sorry, you have poor acting skills and I didn't laugh."

After saying that, Tang Hong stood up and went back and forth to prepare for the next stage of training.

Barbosa and Amorin looked at each other, and Viana smiled happily and said, "He just doesn't understand Portuguese, which doesn't mean he knows nothing. You two have really become clowns."

Tang Hong would definitely not use bribes to exchange for a contract for himself, let alone delivering wine.

Barbosa and Amorin were bored, and they were not angry either. They were just bored to pass the time.

However, it is one thing that Tang Hong is not deceived, but his attitude is another thing.

A player who was just here to try out showed a sense of awe of unfamiliar environments. Not to mention, they really left a deep impression on them.

Whether Tang Hong was bored prank or really ill-intentioned, his time and energy were limited and he didn't care about trivial malice.

For five consecutive days, Tang Hong performed better and better in training, and at the same time, he began to use some simple Portuguese when greeting the coaches. For Braga players, training was almost unchanging, but during this process, Tang Hong's changes began to attract attention.

As the new season gets closer, Braga's training begins to reduce aerobic training, ball skills training, and tactical drills begin to increase.

In places like Portugal, there is basically no big gap in football skills. Of course, this is a comparison between players in the same position. It doesn’t make much sense to compete with the forwards and the defenders to compete with the physical strength. On the other hand, it’s the same for the defenders to compete with the forwards. No one in Braga’s defenders is less than 185 cm. The highest Brazilian central defender Dougron is 193 cm tall!

Only by looking at the techniques of passing, stopping, leading, and shooting in training, we can't tell how unique Tang Hong is. This is like another genius in Portugal back then. Quaresma is the absolute star in training, but the actual effect is always not up to expectations. The technology is just the foundation, and how to flexibly use it in actual combat on the stadium is another matter.

One week after Tang Hong trained with the team, Yartim called Tang Hong to the office at the end of the evening training and then took out a contract for him.

Tang Hong didn't go to see it, but asked Yartim directly: "Sir, I want to know one thing, please tell me honestly."

Yartim was surprised that Tang Hong did not leave with the contract happily, but instead asked seriously.

He also said seriously: "Please say it."

"Do I have a chance to play in the new season? I don't ask for the main players, but I want to get a chance to show myself!"

Tang Hong expressed his demands as clearly as possible. Yartim nodded to him solemnly: "Of course, you will get opportunities, it depends on your attitude and ability, both are indispensable."

Tang Hong said goodbye after hearing this and took the contract back to the hotel.
