Chapter 140 University Team

葡萄牙时间4月24日晚上20点30分，联赛第32轮最后一场比赛，将在科英布拉体育场拉开战幕。

Braga will go to the away game to challenge the University of Coimbra team, which is already in a good relegation situation.

As a city in the north-central part of Portugal, the distance between Coimbra and Braga is not far away. It is the same as going to Porto to play an away game. The Braga team took the bus to the away game that day, and it took less than 2 hours. .

Due to the weak strength of the opponents in this round, and the two injuries of Fabiano Rosato and Constant Helia returned to the team, they went to the away game with the team.So on the bus, the Braga players were quite relaxed, talking and laughing as before.

"By the way, this city of Coimbra used to be the capital of Portugal!"

As the eldest brother of the "Brazilian Gang" in the Braga team who knows the geography and history of Portuguese countries best, he taught the young players in the team seriously.

"Coimbra, as the establishment of the Kingdom of Portugal and the birthplace of Portuguese, was the capital of Portugal from 1139 to 1260, and was later replaced by Lisbon, which has a larger area and a more developed economy. I believe you all find it quite amazing ——Why is the club called the University of Coimbra?"

Wende showed a wise smile like a scholar: "I have to say, education in Coimbra! University of Coimbra... Oh! I'm not talking about clubs, but universities! Coimbra The University of Bra was founded in 1290 and has a history of more than 700 years!"

"Wow!!!"

Those young people and foreign players who had never been to Coimbra, including Diego, suddenly went into an uproar.

"Nearly 800 years of history! More than 7 centuries so far! My God!"

Although Matthäus knew that the University of Coimbra has a long history, he did not expect that it could reach the "fossil level". Matthäus sighed with emotion: "I don't think there are many higher education institutions in the world." , can you compare history with the University of Coimbra?”

"This is still there, such as the University of Bologna in Italy, which was founded in 1088 and is the oldest institution of higher learning in the world. There are also well-known Oxford University and Cambridge University in England, and the University of Paris in France. The University of Salamanca in Spain...they are older than the University of Coimbra."

After all, Wende shrugged helplessly and said: "In terms of a long history, Europe has too many choices. The University of Coimbra is the oldest university in Portugal, but it is not the earliest in the world. Of course ! In terms of academic level, the University of Coimbra is definitely at the forefront of the world.”

At this time, Diego tentatively asked: "Boss Wende, the Coimbra University Club, shouldn't it be the school team of the University of Coimbra?"

"Hey! It's not right to say yes, and it's not right to say no..."

Wende once again immersed himself in his "history teacher" sideline and couldn't extricate himself: "The predecessor of the Coimbra University Club was an amateur team created by the University of Coimbra Student Union, which existed in the 18th century. At that time, it was the team with the most fans in Portugal. After 1970, after the Portuguese League entered the professional reform, the Coimbra University team also began to transform and embark on a professional road. Funded by the Coimbra University Group, the establishment of professional club."

Speaking of this, Wende added with a smile: "Although they have embarked on a professional path, some of the University of Coimbra's team members are still students from the University of Coimbra's Sports Academy. They are not only quality He is both academically excellent and his football skills are also quite top-notch.”

"Wow! University players are playing in the Portuguese Super League!"

Diego even blurted out: Isn't this just like Beijing Institute of Technology!

But think about it, the comparison between Beijing University of Technology and the University of Coimbra is still not on the standard - Beijing University of Technology is also professional, and has introduced foreign players. The local players are mainly students of Beijing University of Technology, but their best results It's just playing in the Chinese League One and getting to the middle of the standings.

At present, Beijing University of Technology has returned to the northern part of the Chinese League Two, so the operating cost is much lower, and it can also maintain an all-college player lineup.

While BIT is training in the Second Division, it is also always ready for each Universiade—BIT is the only one in the National College Football League, a perennial champion team!The teams that have represented China in the Universiade football events for the past five years are all BIT teams.

However, the University of Coimbra is even more powerful, they are playing in the Portuguese Super League!It is even possible to complete the task of relegation on a high-level stage like the Portuguese Super League.

It can be seen that if the University of Coimbra plays a real fight with the Beijing University of Technology... Well, Diego still dare not imagine what the final result will be.

Paul Jorge also smiled and added: "Diego, don't be too surprised. In fact, in South America, there are many clubs similar to the University of Coimbra. For example, the Catholic University of Chile in the Chilean League, the University of Chile... Oh! The Pontifical Catholic University of Chile is still a wealthy team in the Chilean First Division. There is also the Peruvian academic sports team, which is also a strong team in Peru, and they can often be seen in the Copa Libertadores."

"There are also Ecuador's Quito Sports University and San Martin University; Hungary's Puskas Academy team, and Romania's Calaohua University!"

Jesualdo Ferreira is also very rare, participating in the players' topics with great interest.

"Romania's CS Calaohua University, I led the team to play against them in the Europa League. Although they are mainly college students, with some foreign aid imported from other Eastern European countries, their strength is not much different from professional teams. , even, the creativity and imagination of these college players will be more abundant, and they often play some eye-catching ways of cooperation.”

Under the curiosity of the players, the old coach Jesualdo Ferreira also seriously told everyone some anecdotes about the away game in Romania.

This also includes the fans of the former Yugoslavia, which can be called a radical and crazy way of cheering. It is basically normal to hit the water bottle a few times, and the most important thing is to be able to leave the court safely after winning.

These anecdotes amused everyone, and the away journey seemed more relaxed and enjoyable than before.

Obviously, for today's opponent, the University of Coimbra, the old coach is also very calm.

After all, the University of Coimbra's defense this season is really bad. It was able to avoid relegation mainly because of good luck - Rio Ave, who was stronger than them, never seized the opportunity to score points, which directly helped Coimbra. Universidad Imbra remains in the Portuguese Super League.

Although Braga's offensive end has been constipated, Jesúaldo Ferreira is still quite confident that his team can easily score three points at the Coimbra Stadium!After the 32nd round, continue to overtake Benfica, which temporarily leads by goal difference!
