Real Madrid travelled to Braga in another midweek, and this time Ramos finally returned to the squad.

With a positive training attitude and low-key off-field activities, Ramos quickly won back Mourinho's trust.

The Real Madrid dressing room was finally a lot calmer.

Braga is a football club with a long history, founded in 1921.

However, Braga do not have any historical honours to boast about, as they must have won the Portuguese Super League runners-up once, the third place once, the Portuguese Cup twice, the runners-up three times, the League Cup once, and the Super Cup runners-up twice in their 90-year history.

Other than that, they have nothing else.

It's a bit of a misnomer.

However, this year was a bit different, as Braga qualified for the Champions League as runners-up in the Portuguese Super League, and their performance in the qualifying rounds was impressive before heading into the main event.

They first eliminated Celtic with an aggregate score of 4-2 to reach the Champions League qualifying round.

The ability to eliminate the Celtic of Scotland has verified the quality of Braga's "dark horse". But no one knows how far this "dark horse" can go this season? Can I make it to the Champions Cup?

Then, an even crazier scene appeared. Braga first defeated Sevilla 1:0 at home, at that time, everyone still felt that Braga still had no chance, because Sevilla could still kill Braga when they returned to their home stadium, but who knew that Sevilla lost to Braga 3:4 at home!

No one expected them to win once they arrived in Pizjuan.

Matthews, who scored in the first leg, broke the deadlock first, while substitute Lima scored a second-half hat-trick with the hosts scored by Fabiano, Keylor Navas and Canoute. Sevilla FC is a century-old team in Spain, having won the UEFA Cup, and it is not easy for Braga to score four goals away from home, and after eliminating Sevilla, Braga entered the Champions Cup for the first time in their history. People's eyes began to turn to this "dark horse". -

Who knows Braga best? That person has to be Mourinho.

He used to coach Porto in the Portuguese Premier League, doesn't he know how tough Braga is?

After arriving in Braga, Mourinho stressed at the tactical mobilization that Braga must not be underestimated.

"Real Madrid didn't win against Sevilla last season, right? But Braga did it. ”

Mourinho's words are very pertinent, directly revealing Real Madrid's scars.

What Real Madrid didn't do, Braga did, and it was away, and it still scored 4 goals, did Real Madrid do it?

Apparently not.

So, why underestimate Braga?

At the press conference, Mourinho made no secret of his fear of Braga.

"There are no weak teams in the Champions League, we came to Braga for a fight. I know the fans and the players here, they are the fighters, and I was even afraid that the Braga fans would throw fireworks and firecrackers from the stands, which was terrifying. ”

"In order to prepare for this game, I will send all the main players to play without reservation."

Ramos was thrown into the starting line-up by him, replacing Carvalho, and Real Madrid did offer the strongest line-up.

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo

Midfielders: Mesut Ozil, Alonso, Luka Modric, Di Maria

Forwards: Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo

And there are really no well-known players on Braga's side, if I have to say that there is, it is a Lima.

However, Mourinho is familiar with the Portuguese Super League team, so he is not too worried.

Then the Braga boss also announced the starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Felipe

Defenders: Rodriguez, Moisés, Ederson, Garcia

Midfielders: Fantiño, Salino, Aguilar

Forwards: Matus, Alain, Lima

The handicap offered by Spinach is also very cautious, and Real Madrid concede half one away from home, which is a rather low-key and intriguing handicap.

In the previous two games in the country, Real Madrid conceded two and a half goals or even three goals, and when playing at home against Partizan Belgrade, Real Madrid also conceded two and a half goals, but in the away game Braga, such a handicap does not exist at all.

It is precisely because Braga's fighting power is too strong, and they can nibble on Sevilla away from home, can the spinach company not be low-key.

Mourinho said Braga fans love to throw fireworks and firecrackers, and that's no joke, the fans here are very enthusiastic......

In fact, the fans throughout Portugal are more enthusiastic, and there are often tragedies on and off the pitch.

However, Braga and the Portuguese Football Federation have made a lot of preparations in order to prepare for this game, and they certainly do not want any accidents in such an important field as the Champions League.

The away dressing room at the Braga Municipal Stadium is spacious, unlike many clubs' away dressing rooms, at least it's spacious and comfortable, and the away players don't feel restless inside.

It also has to do with the fact that the Braga Municipal Stadium was once the stadium of Euro 2004, otherwise it would not be so comfortable in the away dressing room if it were just the home stadium of a club.

"I came here to play when I was younger, it was so barbaric, and I was extremely impressed with it."

"Mom, before the game started, we started to pack our bags, and as soon as the game was over, we rushed to the bus station with our luggage, and if anyone fell, they would definitely be beaten, of course, provided that we won." Ronaldo's mind is a slow juvenile memory.

"Really?"

"Don't you dare fight them?" Dong Fangzhuo glanced at him with disdain, Ronaldo has never been an expert in fighting, so he will pretend to be forced.

Ronaldo rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Fight with them? They fought with the fans, and the only way we could fight was to escape, and the faster we escaped, the better. ”

“……”

"Well, when I didn't say it, if we win in that moment, shall we run away?"

"It's not necessary, but before you walk into the players' tunnel, let's look up more, maybe there's a fireworks or something from the stands, I'm not joking, didn't you see Mu Shuai say this at the press conference?"

Originally, everyone didn't take this matter seriously, but after Ronaldo's repeated emphasis, they were really worried......

Braga Municipal Stadium is not big, only able to accommodate more than 30,000 people, but when Dong Fangzhuo and the others walked out of the players' tunnel, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and they all looked over to the stands.

I'm really afraid of fireworks again.

Only coach Jose Mourinho walks leisurely in front, who is he, Mourinho, madmen will not be afraid of fireworks......

As a result, after a short period of more than ten seconds of depression, there was no, everyone was just a false alarm, and they were frightened in vain.

But the boos were so loud, especially when their names were read, it was wave after wave.

※※※※

"Braga is Portugal's arsenal, it's not that they have a strong hematopoietic ability, it's just that their name means Arsenal."

"Today is going to be a tough game for Real Madrid, who have eliminated Sevilla and who can't afford to suffer a nightmare again. Sevilla's sacrifice showed Real Madrid the direction of victory, and that is not to be careless, and the defense has become crucial. This time it was really Mourinho's appetite and he could play the defensive football he loved. ”

Although Morientes does not like Mourinho's defensive football, he will also succumb to Mourinho's tactics for the sake of Real Madrid and for the sake of victory.

After the Champions League theme song was played, the two sides quickly chose the venue and saw that the game was about to begin.

And at this time.

bang

bang

Bang bang......

Countless explosions.

Suddenly, more than a dozen colorful fireworks flew out of the north stand! It's beautiful, but it's instantly terrifying!

"Fack!"

"What the hell!"

The Real Madrid generals just stood up on the field, and they were dumbfounded, is there really fireworks?

In an instant, everyone was a little panicked, and subconsciously squeezed to the position of the middle circle arc.

They were almost hiding behind the referee.

And Braga's players didn't pay attention at all, as if they didn't see it.

The referee is also an old man, and he also stood in place, staring at the direction in which the fireworks disappeared.

He's observing......

If this kind of situation happens, he can actually cancel the game, because although fireworks are not lethal, they are also violent on the field.

However, the referee clearly did not want to waste time and drove the Real Madrid players back.

Beep –

The competition is officially on!

Real Madrid quickly took the initiative as Marcelo and Di Maria sent two crosses from the wings in quick succession, causing Braga's defence to look a little flustered.

However, their defense is overwhelming after all, and Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo did not grab the landing point.

Although facing one of the world's biggest clubs, Braga still took the lead in the fifth minute, Lima hit the goal with his left foot from outside the penalty area, and Casillas made a solid save on the ball, fully demonstrating his style as a world-class goalkeeper.

Real Madrid then organised an attack and Mesut Ozil also tried to cross from the right, but this time his footwork was not mastered well, and the ball went straight to the bottom line, which caused a huge boo from the Braga fans.

"Huh? Real Madrid players? That's it? A Germany international? "Portuguese fans have seen the world and Ozil's pass is really embarrassing.

"It's far from our family's Quaresma, doesn't it mean that he has an ecstatic outer instep? Do you dare to compare with our family's Quaresma? ”

Despite Quaresma's poor mixing, he still has a certain place in the hearts of Portuguese fans.

Instead, Braga launched a long pass and went directly to the right winger Matus, who used his body to force Marcelo away, and Marcelo couldn't resist at all. Matus then forced his way to Real Madrid in the middle and was about to rush to the penalty area.

At this moment, Braga's three forwards actually rushed to the ...... at the same time

"How is that possible?"

"How fast are they?" ()
