Chapter 313: The next opponent in the UEFA Cup
Sporting Lisbon won comfortably 2-0.
Deng Kai tried his hand at this round and relied on a long-range shot to complete a goal.
Didier Deschamps provided an assist.
Viana carried over his good form in European competition to the league, completing the pass.
This round of the Portuguese Super League has attracted significantly more attention than in the past, and the media summary found that the excess traffic came from European countries, mainly Italy.
That's what European competition does for a team.
Soon, Sporting Lisbon's opponents in the UEFA Cup quarter-outs were also revealed.
It is the Bundesliga team that has completed the miracle of Kaiserslautern in previous years, Kaiserslautern!
This team once put Bayern under a lot of pressure in the league.
Their head coach is one of football's most legendary figures, Rehhagel.
The most noteworthy player in this squad is German youth player Miroslav Klose.
It is said that he is a youth player, not a young star, because Klose is not a big star at this stage.
He joined Kaiserslautern last year and was given the opportunity to land in the top five leagues.
In his first season in the Bundesliga, he scored nine goals for the team.
At the same time, he helped the team reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
This has also led to the majority of people being more bullish on Kaiserslautern.
They have the genes of the UEFA Cup.
And Sporting Lisbon ...... can only be regarded as a well-known black shop in the Portuguese supercomputing giants and the entire European club. In terms of brand value, it is not as good as Kaiserslautern, who recently won the second best result in the league in the Bundesliga.
Klose played as a winger last season, but his attacking prowess has been further developed this season by switching to a central striker.
Based on his current performances, he has a very good chance of winning the Bundesliga's homegrown top scorer this season, as well as competing for the Bundesliga's best rookie and other honors.
In order to encourage Klose, Rehhagel has repeatedly stated this season that Klose is eligible for the German national team.
It's a pity that such words were not listened to.
But as long as Klose continues his current performance, even if he doesn't make it to the German team this year, he can do it next year.
Another key player for Kaiserslautern is Big Snake Djokaef.
He is a second-generation star, his father Jean Djokaeff was an international defender of the French national team in his early years, and he followed in his father's footsteps to embark on the road of international football.
And before Zidane came out, he was a well-deserved frontcourt core of the French team.
The arrival of Zidane made the French team feel as if it had been magical.
In the World Cup in '98 and the European Cup in '00, Djokaeff stood on top of the world with the French team.
As for the club, Djokaeff was equally brilliant during his time at Inter.
He is also the only superstar of the team who has not suffered a significant decline in form since Inter Milan started the superstar strategy.
He was even more shrewd when Lippi arrived, and chose to leave Inter Milan. He was one of the first to object to Lippi, the Juventus manager, taking charge of Inter Milan.
And the results proved Djokov's foresight.
Since arriving in Kaiserslautern, Djokaeff continues to shine and is the heart of the team's front line.
Rehhagel, Djokaeffe, Klose.
Legendary manager, superstar player, future superstar.
Kaiserslautern has no shortcomings in almost any area.
Although Sporting Lisbon defeated Inter Milan, after the big discussion, everyone believed that Inter's collapse came from within, and that they lost to themselves and had nothing to do with Sporting Lisbon.
Whoever encounters such an Inter Milan is hard not to win.
This was further confirmed in the Coppa Italia.
Inter Milan faced a strong league rival Parma, losing 1-6 over two legs.
The media began to turn out what Deng Kai said in the previous interview: "Inter Milan and Parma will lose the game, and at least three in two legs"!
Now it seems that Deng Kai is still conservative.
Inter Milan lost five!
The worse Inter Milan is, the less people feel that Sporting Lisbon has anything.
So much so that when the first leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup is still half a month away, there are already spinach companies that have given considerable odds.
The probability of not losing the first leg is as high as 86 percent.
Sporting Lisbon's probability of winning is only 14 percent.
Bundesliga VS Portuguese Super League.
Rehhagel VS Trigra (Nobody).
Djokaeff (the year of the fight) VS Mateus (old and broken)
Klose vs Viana, Quaresma
With the exception of the young talent, who has always been evenly matched between the two sides, Kaiserslautern has the all-round advantage.
……
On March 1, the quarterfinals of the Portuguese Cup began.
From this round onwards, almost all of them were contested by Portuguese Super League teams, with only one Portuguese team reaching the quarter-finals.
Sporting Lisbon's opponent is their "second team" Morerense.
The two sides met last season, with Moreirense beating Sporting Lisbon under Dunkai and Cristiano Ronaldo.
To be precise, it defeated the three giants of the Portuguese Super League!
The Portuguese Cup they won last season was the most legendary Portuguese Cup in the history of the Portuguese Cup.
The venue of the match is the Alvardella Stadium, and the tickets for Sporting Lisbon will be half that of Morerens.
The game was very rewarding for Moreirense.
After more than 20 rounds of Portuguese Super League matches, Moreirense has a high probability of locking up a relegation place.
Without an excellent manager like Trigra, without talented stars such as Deng Kai, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kiropu, Moreirense really can't reach the intensity of the Portuguese Super League.
Their reinforcements have proven to be melackluster, and the players they bought to replace Ronaldo and Deng Kai are completely out of line with the standards of the Portuguese Super League.
The most impressive players in this team at the moment are centre-forward Anderson and right-back Alex.
They have been doing well this season.
Anderson has already scored 10 goals in the Portuguese Super League, and as a newcomer to the Portuguese Super League, this record card is definitely defensible.
Alex has become a distinctive full-back player with his attacking attributes.
Many of the teams that look at Anderson are mid-table teams in the Portuguese Super League, but many of the teams that look at Alex are strong teams in the five major leagues outside.
There is a great need for attacking full-backs in strong teams.
In the tunnel, Deng Kai greeted Anderson, Alex and other teammates from last season.
The two sides have already played each other in the league before, so the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.
Moreirens' fans also gave Moreirens a round of applause after the players' appearance.
With a whistle, the game officially began.
Because of Trigra, Sporting Lisbon is all too familiar with Morerense's tactical system.
In just five minutes, the football was firmly controlled by Sporting Lisbon.
Moreirense continued to play as a strong team for half a season last season, and this season it has completely degenerated into a weak team style.
