Chapter 562: 2 rounds ahead of the first qualifying

   Braga is a small town in northern Portugal, with a population of only 60,000. In the East, this is the size of a slightly larger town, but in Portugal, it is the seventh largest city in the country. Even in the 1980s, it was once the third largest city in Portugal.

   Braga is located inland, only an hour’s drive from Porto, Portugal’s second largest city. It is also the residence of the Portuguese Archbishop and a famous pilgrimage site. There is a huge statue of the Virgin Mary nearby. The library contains precious ancient books. There is a cathedral built in the 12th century on a hill 5 kilometers southeast of the city.

  In early November, the Manchester United team came to this Portuguese town to play a Champions League match with Braga Sports.

   The first three rounds of the Manchester United team won an UEFA Champions League seat in advance as long as they were undefeated, and even had the opportunity to lock the group's top position. Prior to this, Manchester United had only 4 losses in 24 encounters with the Portuguese club, and nearly 9 matches with the Portuguese club from 6 wins and 3 draws, but Braga had won and zero against the English club in the last 4 home games. Goal conceded.

In this game, Braga made only one adjustment to Manchester United two weeks ago. Dougland replaced Vinicius and Coelho in the position of the central defender; while Manchester United's Smarin's metatarsal injury recovered. In the season's first show, Ferguson made six adjustments compared to when he played against Arsenal last weekend. Bell, Van Persie, and Ferdinand, who celebrated their 34th birthday today, all sat on the bench at the opening. Valencia was arranged to make a guest appearance. Right back position.

   It was raining heavily before the game, but the rain was getting smaller during the game.

   In the ups and downs of Portugal, Manchester United started badly, but the home team Braga was very active. In the 6th minute, Evans missed the ball and Edel's small angle on the right side of the penalty area seemed to pass and hit the result directly out of the far side. Two minutes later, Miguel was blocked by Giggs mid-range.

  When the game reached the 22nd minute, Manchester United's city almost fell behind. Edel received a pass from Mickel's left rib and dived to the top of the penalty area. The ball hit the left post and popped out.

   Manchester United, who had escaped, showed some improvement, but it was only a tie with Braga. Both sides failed to score in the first half.

  ………………

   The game kicked in the rain in the second half.

In the 48th minute, Custodio received Alan's pass and was blocked by Evans and fell into the penalty area. German national referee Blake whistled to take a penalty. Alan shot the ball in the upper left corner to help Braga. The team leads 1:0.

   Braga, who took the lead in scoring, scored more and more excited, while the visiting team Manchester United appeared absent. Ferguson looked very serious on the sidelines. The old man was clearly dissatisfied with the performance of Manchester United.

   The game was close to 57 minutes, the on-site lighting system failed, and the game had to be forced to stop. It was only restarted after 11 minutes of suspension.

   When the game resumed, Ferguson directly studed and made three personnel adjustments at once, Ferdinand replaced Evans, Van Persie replaced Welbeck, and Bell replaced Giggs.

  Bell did not appear on the striker after his debut, but in the midfield, partnering with Modric and Kanter, but his position is relatively forward, which is equivalent to a front waist.

   At the beginning of last season, Bell played a few times in the midfielder, but this is the first time this season, because Manchester United has Sneijder and Pogba.

  Because of the leading score, Braga players are very excited and play a bit rough on the court.

   Soon after Bell debuted, Braga forward Edel kicked behind him. Although the referee gave Edel a yellow card, Edel's foul still made the Manchester United players very angry. Ferguson on the sideline even protested to the fourth official. But it has no effect. Braga players are still very excited on the court. The referee's whistle is also soft, which indulges the behavior of Braga players to a certain extent.

  ………………

  Under the constant fouls of Braga players, the game became fragmented and it was difficult for Manchester United to play a smooth cooperation.

   It is clear that Braga is specifically targeting this foul tactic adopted by Manchester United. After all, their strength is a little bit different from Manchester United. If they play normally, they are definitely not Manchester United's opponents.

  Especially Manchester United has used up three substitution places now. If they can make a certain Manchester United player seriously injured and can't stick to the game, they can get an advantage in numbers and hopefully win this game.

   However, the Braga's wishful abacus failed.

   In the 80th minute, Braga again fouled Bell in the midfield. Some Manchester United players also planned to go to the Braga players to settle the bill, but Bell first took action. He got up and put the ball on the ground, then kicked to the left of the court.

   Quick serve free kick!

Van Persie got a pass from Bell on the left side of the frontcourt. In the face of the goalkeeper Beto, General Fan left shot 28 meters away from the left rib. Although Beto touched the ball with his hand, the ball still flew into the net. Manchester United 1:1 tie the score.

  ………………

   Braga did not change his tactics because of this lost ball, their players still continue to foul United players. However, they were quickly punished again.

  In the 83rd minute, Rooney was knocked down by Coelho in the penalty area. The referee Blake did not make a penalty for the first time, but then Blake whistled a penalty after the assistant referee prompted.

   As the first penalty shooter in the Manchester United team, Bell once again stood before the penalty kick, tricked Beto to score the ball, Manchester United reversed the lead 2-1.

   was reversed by Manchester United's two consecutive draws. Braga was obviously not reconciled. They then made consecutive substitution adjustments to strengthen their offensive strength. If they can get a point at home, there is still hope to get the right to qualify. Because they scored 1 win, 2 losses and 3 points in the first three rounds, only 1 point behind Cluj in second place.

   However, Braga did not score their imaginary goal in consecutive substitutions. Instead, in the second minute of injury time, Manchester United scored another goal to lock in the victory.

Valencia crossed on the right, Rooney's heel was blocked in the middle, Hernandez took the ball away from Beto and then shot was blocked by Dougland on the goal line, but Hernandez was in the penalty area. The left foot then shoots the ball into the net.

   Eventually, Manchester United defeated Braga 3-1 away, thus qualifying with four consecutive victories.

At the same time, because of another game with the group, Galatasaray defeated Cluj 3:1 away. In this way, Cluj and Galatasaray are 1 win, 1 draw, 2 negative 4 Points, while Braga is 1 wins, 3 losses and 3 points, Manchester United has locked the group first in advance.
