Chapter 523 - Bombardment of Brazil and France
Four players from Sporting Lisbon were selected.
Of course, there's a lot to be lost beyond this Champions League squad list.
Kaka, Drogba, Nemanja Vidic at Sporting Lisbon.
Ze Roberto, Ballack of Bayer Leverkusen.
Rivaldo of Barcelona.
Manchester United's Ryan Giggs, Keane, Paul Scholes.
Arsenal's Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry.
Juve's Nedved, Trezeguet, Thuram.
Inter Milan's Ronaldo, Vieri, Viana.
But that's all there is to the location.
After all, there are only a few who can achieve what they want.
β¦β¦
"Kicker": "Bayer Leverkusen lost unjustly! Sporting Lisbon is an opponent that Real Madrid can't even win! β
Bild: "Sporting Lisbon started the season with the corpse of Bayern Munich and ended the season with the corpse of Real Madrid! β
The Times: "Eight titles in two years!" Youth is king! Who else can stop this Sporting Lisbon team? β
Sky Sports: "Cristiano Ronaldo: Golden Boot Golden Boot or Golden Boot! Deng Kai: The best is always the best! β
Milan Sport: "God is born! The hat trick in the final casts the Champions League through the ages, and Deng Kai's take-off is inevitable! β
"Roma Sport": "League + Champions League, Deng Kai 33 + 30, Ronaldo 45 + 6, Xiao Luo 19 + 15, Kaka 15 + 22!" β
France Football: "Hierro shells Florentino, reprimands Real Madrid for becoming the next Inter Milan!" β
Daily Sport: "Moratti angrily blasted Real Madrid for not being qualified to compete with Inter. Inter Milan have a league title, while Real Madrid only have one Copa del Rey this season! β
As: "Now, it's time to think about Real Madrid's signings this summer! Ferdinand, is there hope? Nesta, is it possible? β
Marca: "Melinger refused to join all midfield superstars this summer, unless it was Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo! β
Turned upside down!
Sporting Lisbon's triumph has completely messed up European football.
It's a storm that doesn't just go on a green field.
By the end of the season, all teams have a proposed list of signings.
This list is relatively scientific.
But!
With Sporting Lisbon on the ground, any team that wants to be supported by their fans will have to change their list.
Let the names of the Sporting Lisbon players appear on it.
And to run crazy for the sake of these names.
And these operations are often not so scientific.
But if you don't, the fans won't buy it.
This is a typical troubled time.
Don't talk about Deng Kai, Ronaldo, and Xiao Luo, these absolute cores.
Even the leftovers of Fonte, Evra, and Veloso are now lined up to buy.
This kind of heat continued until the major national teams announced the 23-man squad for the World Cup, which came to an end.
Because of these lists, some of them are expected.
There are also ...... Disappointing.
Jose Mourinho took the lead in bombarding the Brazilian squad: "The coaching staff of the Brazilian team is a piece of shit!" Deco is one of the best midfielders in all of Europe this year! Except for Deng Kai, there is no one better than him in the absolute sense this year! β
'He won the UEFA Cup! But he is not eligible for the Brazilian squad! β
"Xiao Luo and Kaka are definitely not better than Deco!"
"Without Deng Kai, Sporting Lisbon can't win against Porto this year! I said it! β
Yes, Ronaldo and Kaka were selected!
The Brazilian duo were lucky, but McCone was not so lucky, and he was naturally not selected, after all, he was only an important rotation rather than an absolute mainstay.
There is also a huge difference in popularity between the same Internet celebrity pair.
Spring in Mai Kong, we have to wait for a while.
And the flowering period of Kaka and Xiao Luo is almost here.
In addition to them, the Brazilian squad also has Lucio, Carlos, Gilberto Silva, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Cafu, Dida, JΓΊnior, Denilson, Ricardinho and many others.
Each one of them is a strong soldier.
Deco's failure to make the cut is not unfair.
Brazil has too many midfield superstars and talents.
Didn't Ze Roberto, the absolute midfield of Bayer Leverkusen, also fall out of the cast?
It may be a pity not to be selected, but none of the selected ones should not be.
But Deco himself expressed his disappointment in an interview with reporters: "It's a pity that I didn't make it to the Brazilian national team, and I really don't know what to do if I don't qualify for the UEFA Cup." β
"I don't see any hope!"
'I'll probably think hard about where I'm going, especially in terms of the national team.'
Deco now regrets not accepting the invitation from the Portuguese Football Federation.
But he decided to join the Portuguese national team after the World Cup anyway.
Brazil hurt him too deeply.
Also at the heart of Porto, Deco was not selected, and Mourinho came out for him.
However, the striker Jadel also lost the election, and Mourinho didn't let a single fart go.
This made Jadel furious.
He slammed the Brazilian national team as well as Porto and the Portuguese Super League.
He officially announced that he would transfer this summer, and he can't stand the drag of the garbage league anymore!
He's going to go where he can really be a world-class superstar.
He's going to the best platform!
Similarly, France's squad is hugely controversial.
Lizarazu, Vieira, Djokaeffe, Blanco, Desailly, Thuram, Zidane, Deschamps, Thierry, Henry, Anelka, Pires, Wiltord, Maclailai, Petit, Trezeguet...... None of this is a problem.
The French team is strong.
Didier Deschamps also squeezed his credentials and title at Sporting Lisbon on the bench.
But the selection of Barcelona central defender Cristanval is very incomprehensible.
This player's performances at Barcelona this season have been absolutely disastrous.
Barcelona bought him to fight against Deng Kai's Sporting Lisbon, and the result was ...... He didn't do much.
And his technical shortcomings have become a hard wound in Barcelona's backline, which is more fatal than the lack of height.
Barcelona dropped Cristanval in many key games in the second half of the season.
In this regard, the French team said that they need some reserve centre-backs.
Up front and in midfield, they already have too many good players.
But the fans still didn't buy it, especially those of Sporting Lisbon.
They believe Drogba deserves to be selected.
They don't care about Henry and Trezeguet, who are already the right answer for France's forward line.
Drogba is well aware of the fact that in front of the French double guns, he can only sit on the bench if he is selected.
And these two guns are still very young, and this situation may last for a long time.
Coupled with patriotic feelings, Drogba announced that he would play for his native Ivory Coast the day after the announcement of the French team's squad.
Although Ivory Coast will not qualify for this World Cup, Drogba is confident that he will lead Ivory Coast to the Africa Cup of Nations and the next World Cup!
