Chapter 361: Triple Crown Progress 1/3
One to two, Porto chased a goal back!
The dragon stadium instantly began to cheer wildly like a dragon soul returning to its place.
Once Deco and Jardel exert their strength, a ball is not a gap at all.
"Deco, Deco!"
"Jadel, Jadel!"
The Porto anthem finally sounded again.
The Stadio de Dragons finally has the appearance of Porto's home stadium.
Porto took advantage of the situation and started a wave of onslaught.
During this time, Sporting Lisbon's backline has been put to the test.
Luckily, Font didn't pull his crotch this time.
Porto's mentality became impatient, and there were frequent mistakes in passing.
In the 85th minute, Terry successfully intercepted and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo took off from the side and finished at a gallop.
However, others can't keep up with Ronaldo's speed, and there are no other teammates in the penalty area except Drogba. And Drogba is not in a good position, he is stuck to death.
Bang!
Cristiano Ronaldo passes back to Viana, the left midfielder.
Deco saw the opportunity and suddenly grabbed it.
However, Viana plucked the ball, turned, pulled the ball...... A smooth Marseille slalom easily past Deco.
The Porto backline was instantly in disarray, with the right centre-back pounced on Viana.
Viana picks up a cross over the top.
Didier Drogba had been pressed behind by Porto's left centre-back, but when the overhead ball came overhead, he turned around and stuck behind him.
Of course, Porto's right centre-back is not in a hurry, after all, Drogba is now with his back to the goal and cannot directly threaten the goal after receiving the ball.
Bang!
Drogba leaned against the defender behind him, kicked with his foot, and volleyed back.
A green and white figure smashed into the penalty area of Porto.
Deng Kai shot at the penalty spot against the football.
Or stick to the ground!
The quality of the shot was terrible, and the ball almost grazed the post and the turf into the Porto goal.
The Porto goalkeeper, although he had some reaction time, was still unable to deal with this almost unsolvable shot.
βGOALοΌ Three to one! Deng Kai scored the crucial goal! β
'Viana's dribbles and passes opened up the game for the team.
"Drogba's return reflects the reason why Sporting Lisbon has always used him as a starter, and his fulcrum role is irreplaceable!"
"Of course, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, Deng Kai's feet are really hard! He always takes his chances at crucial moments and hits a very high quality goal! β
"This is also an important reason why people are gradually recognizing Deng Kai's position at the heart of Sporting Lisbon."
'Viana, Quaresma, Drogba, Ibrahimovic all had highlights, but there were also a lot of lows. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who has always been in good form in goal, has had times this season when he can't find his form. β
"Only Deng Kai, his state is stable and terrible. He's always played at a very high level. ups and downs, but Deng Kai only rises, not up! β
"At the time of 85 minutes, with a two-goal lead, Porto is really dangerous this time!"
"They definitely have the ability to score two goals, but if you limit the time to five minutes, then no one dares to pat their chests and make such a guarantee!"
β¦β¦
For five minutes, Porto didn't get anything.
Knowing that in the first minute of stoppage time, Deco hit the wall and Jadel passed Deschamps and created a crisis in front.
Fonte blocked Deco head-on, Deco picked the ball and the ball was divided, Font practiced the concept of passing the ball, pulled Deco, causing Deco to fall.
The referee pointed to the penalty spot and showed Fonte a yellow card.
Deco was already in the penalty area.
Deng Kai led his players to communicate with the referee, but his original intention was purely to consume time, and there was no problem with this penalty.
In the end, Jardel took the penalty and scored without a hitch.
Three to two, this is the final score of both sides.
When the three whistles blew, the entire Sporting Lisbon squad burst into celebration at the Stadio d'Oros as if they had won the Portuguese Super League title ahead of schedule.
It was the most crucial game of the season.
Sporting Lisbon's win over Porto put them two points above the latter.
In the last round of the league, Porto lost, and Sporting Lisbon won the championship directly anyway.
If Porto win, Sporting Lisbon will only need a draw to win the title.
Because in the case of the same number of points, the Portuguese Super League gives priority to the record of the two sides.
Sporting Lisbon has a slight edge with one draw and one win.
After the game, Deco was a little frustrated: "We lost the most important game of the season and it was a huge blow to us. But we're still going to play the last game, that's the only thing we can do to win the Super League. β
"But this match also gave us a deeper understanding of Sporting Lisbon, which will help us beat them in the Portuguese Cup final!"
Deco is very sensible, and he knows that Porto have now lost the initiative to win the league.
But he deliberately pointed out that it is not so simple for Sporting Lisbon to win the title, because Sporting Lisbon's opponent in the final round is last year's Portuguese Super League champions and this year's Portuguese Super League third Boavista.
It's definitely not an underdog.
Deco's words are putting pressure on him, and he undoubtedly wants Sporting Lisbon to drop the Portuguese Cup final.
A Portuguese Super League trophy that is almost on the horizon is definitely heavier than the Portuguese Cup title.
The more one step left, the more entangled Sporting Lisbon will be.
On the other hand, Jadel remained optimistic: "We played well in this game, we lost because we didn't do it defensively, and we will be more targeted in defense in the next game." β
It seems to be similar to Deco's content, but Jadel's satisfaction with his brace is about to overflow the screen.
The team lost, he didn't.
Forty-two goals, the pinnacle of Jadel's career!
He almost won the European Golden Boot this season!
This will be his second time winning the award after a two-year hiatus.
This kind of success is something that ordinary players can't believe.
It's a superstar accolade!
It was as if Jardel had seen the call for him from the Brazilian national team.
Almost exactly the same as Jardel is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The team won, he didn't.
Not only did he score only one goal in this game, less than Jardel.
His current league goal of 30 is also far less than Jardel's league goal of 42.
In the face of the interview, he really couldn't be happy: "The championship is not here yet, we can't be careless, now is not the time to celebrate." β
"But Kai is right about one thing, and that is that for Sporting Lisbon, who are looking to win the treble this season, a league trophy is just a matter of course."
'Beating Porto just proves that we have what it takes to challenge Liverpool.'
Porto were unhappy with Ronaldo's contempt.
But then their foul language was taken away by Deng Kai.
Deng Kai posted on his personal social platform: "The progress of the Triple Crown is 1/3, come on, come on, come on!" β
