Chapter 244: Sporting Lisbon

Paolo Bento.

The head coach of Sporting Lisbon, the team was invited to play a warm-up match against Cologne, which is also Cologne's last day in Lisbon, and tomorrow the team will return home to prepare for the Bundesliga that starts in a week.

Before the game, Stevens and Paulo Bento shook hands.

Cologne is the champion of the Bundesliga half, and Sporting Lisbon is only third in the Portuguese Super League halfway, Paulo Bento was still a little worried, but after the game started, everyone was dumbfounded.

3 to 0.

Seeing the big score, Stevens' face couldn't hold back.

"It's shameless, isn't it?"

The Portuguese Super League doesn't have that long winter break, so Sporting Lisbon's sports cycle is a state of competition, while Cologne is still on vacation, and the two teams are not at the same frequency at all, but even so, Stevens can't accept the result of a collapse in the first half.

"I know you're not convinced, we're on vacation, aren't we?"

No one dared to say anything.

"I can tell you, these are all excuses, the real reason is very clear to all of us, we all won the halfway championship, I think I am amazing, right?"

'I can tell you that the league is only halfway through and if we face the Bundesliga in a week's time, then we will wait for relegation in the second half of the season.

Stevens waved for a couple of substitutes.

"Tang Zhenglong, you down!"

"Why?"

"And why?"

Tang Zhenglong said confidently: "Boss, I have worked very hard in this game, I don't believe you ask the technical team." ”

Stevens turned his head to look at the assistant coach.

"Don was right, he ran more than he did in the league."

"Look at it."

Stevens was depressed, this guy was so lazy, and it wasn't difficult to surpass himself.

"Don, can you score in the second half?"

"How can I guarantee this!"

Stevens gasped.

"Okay, you can stay on the field."

At the beginning of the second half, the Portuguese commentator began to ridicule Tang Zhenglong.

"Don, called the laziest striker by Bild, because he runs about the same distance as a goalkeeper."

'But he seems to have a natural sense of smell and is always in key positions, much like Gomez in Portugal.

Sporting Lisbon's goalkeeper Ricardo glanced at Tang Zhenglong and said in broken English: "You always stay in an offside position, can you score?" ”

"Don't you know how to read? Just search for Tang Zhenglong on the Internet, I am very good in the Bundesliga, the top scorer in the Bundesliga. ”

"Well, it's no wonder that Germany failed to qualify for the group stage of two consecutive European Championships."

The implication is that German football is really rotten right now.

Schultz made a chance in midfield, and the Sporting Lisbon player had the ball closed, probably for fear of injury.

Schultz handed the ball to Tang Zhenglong.

Facing the defense, Tang Zhenglong accelerated and ran forward.

"Wow, I feel like I'm improving."

In this kind of warm-up competition, it is impossible for Tang Zhenglong to waste skills, and it all depends on his own ability.

Dribbling the ball into the penalty area, the Sporting Lisbon defender made a mistake again, he carelessly put the tackle, and Tang Zhenglong's ball was a fake shot and a real buckle.

"Beautiful, it's a bit of the top scorer in the Bundesliga."

Shot!!

The ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

"I'll it, it looks like I still have to practice my shots."

Tang Zhenglong found that if he didn't open it, he still lacked some heat when he came to the door.

Soon, Cologne was awarded a free-kick opportunity.

The ball drove into the penalty area, Ricardo picked up the ball and got out of his hands, and the ball fell to Tang Zhenglong.

"I'm top!!"

"Hahaha, a belated Christmas present."

goooooooal!!

"Cologne has scored."

Paulo Bento kept shaking his head, the team was clearly too relaxed in the second half.

"Work hard, it's easy to get hurt like this."

Ricardo shook his finger at Tang Zhenglong, "My mistake, I'll give you one, but there won't be any more." ”

Tang Zhenglong rolled his eyes and thought, "You really treat yourself as a product!" ”

Five minutes later, Cologne attacked again.

After Podolsky broke through, he made a wonderful pass to the right, and Tang Zhenglong rushed to the horse and easily ate the cake.

"Cologne scored another goal and Sporting Lisbon played really badly in the second half."

Ricardo picked the ball out of the net, "I now know why you can score so many goals, you have a good team-mate. ”

As he spoke, Ricardo smiled and looked at Podolsky.

Looking at the expression of this product, Tang Zhenglong really wanted to slap his face swollen, but ...... Forget it, it's not easy to make a big mouth, you can't spend it indiscriminately.

Paulo Bento's face is very ugly, the game can't be played like this.

Sporting Lisbon made substitutions, replacing several main players, Nani, Motinho, and Veloso were all replaced.

Tang Zhenglong ran to Podolsky, "Lucas, let's work hard, we must not lose." ”

"Hehe, you care so much about a warm-up match?"

"yes, I love Cologne."

"Did the other party provoke you?"

Sweat! You found out.

After Sporting Lisbon was replaced by several big names, the players who came on the bench really worked hard, and the attack became sharp.

On a counter-attack, the ball found in the penalty area, and Brazilian striker Edsen Lee Dodge quickly past a defender to push it into the far corner.

"It's just a little bit, it's a shame."

But this time Sporting Lisbon played "very Brazilian", and the attack was very technical.

Stevens reminded his main team, "We have to study this kind of opponent very well, and we are likely to meet such a team in the knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup." ”

The gap between the second-rate teams in Europe and the first-class teams is very small, and sometimes the giants may not be able to win just by watching one game, and a team like Sporting Lisbon is really not so easy to deal with.

The game was getting more and more open, Sporting Lisbon stopped defending and only attacked in midfield, and soon Cologne had a great chance, with Podolski once again playing the role of the man who fed the cake.

Tang Zhenglong looked at Ricardo.

There is a saying in football circles that it is humiliating to score goals through the goalkeeper's wicked goal.

Tang Zhenglong looked down, made up his mind, and aimed at Ricardo's crotch to shoot.

gooooooooal。

Faced with this goal, Ricardo was super upset, and the small goal was entered, which was a humiliation.

"You did it on purpose!"

"Yes, I did it on purpose, next time it's better to keep your legs together, haha."

Even more frustrating was Paulo Bento, who went from 0-3 to 3-3, and Sporting Lisbon was crippled in the second half.

"Paulo Bento and his team should reflect on it, in the competition with Benfica and Porto, Lisbon is already behind, and this game is very clear that Lisbon cannot be a second team for Manchester United."

Because of rumors, Nani is also leaving the team.

A collapse will expose a lot of contradictions, and this warm-up match Cologne gave the opponent a bitter taste.
