Bordeaux's new home stadium, the future Stade de la Dragon, is still under construction and is not expected to be officially opened until the 03-04 season

At this time, Porto could only lease the multi-purpose "Dorado Stadium" as a temporary home stadium.

Although this type of mixed-use stadium is not effective for hosting football matches, it is better to have a large enough capacity for spectators, and the "Dorado Stadium" is a large stadium that can accommodate more than 50,000 fans.

The stadium will host a sixth round of the Portuguese Cup today, as well as Porto's home game in that round, and they will have to travel to Sporting Lisbon in half a month's time.

It is widely speculated that Porto will send a semi-substitute lineup at most in this game, after all, the next 11 rounds of the league cannot afford to lose, and everyone knows which is more important and which is more important.

It wasn't long before the start of the game and Mourinho was making the final moves.

Zhang Desheng was wearing Porto's home blue and white wide striped jersey in the locker room at this time, and he was still a little surprised to get the chance to start in Porto so soon!

"Sporting Lisbon, isn't that the team Ronaldo had when he debuted?"

Zhang Desheng was even more surprised that today's opponent was Sporting Lisbon, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, and that man should have been promoted to the first team, right?

Of course, he wants to play against each other, but he just doesn't know if Sporting Lisbon takes this cup game seriously.

If you don't pay attention to it like Porto, you really have a chance to meet Cristiano Ronaldo.

But if the other party pays attention, then it is estimated that it will not be touched.

"In today's game, we have to focus on defense, but not from the first second."

Mourinho didn't know that the Chinese genius had so much mental activity, and he was habitually playing defensive tactics in cup competitions.

However, he does not have much confidence in Porto's backline, after all, they were almost all substitutes today, and these substitute defenders are not going to be enough to meet his tactical requirements, especially against Sporting Lisbon's attack.

So Mourinho, who has always disliked playing tricks, had to be taken by surprise today.

'In the first half, I will use the two strikers as usual, Elder and Benny, you give me a lot of confrontation and harassment up front, try to increase the proportion of them running back and forth, we have to consume their energy.

'But the midfield doesn't give you much support, in the first half only the wings can be bold to attack, and the midfield has to be ready to defend at any time as the first priority.

Mourinho's set-up today was utilitarian and there was some hope at the same time.

Postiga and McCarthy are both strikers with incredible speed and good marksmanship.

If they could have taken their chances, they didn't have a chance to score in the first half.

And once he can take the lead in the first half, let alone today's home stadium, he is sure to win the whole round.

At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Desheng, this kid is a pawn he laid on the offensive end, hoping to receive some rewards today.

"Zhang, you are the youngest starter in the whole game today, are you nervous?"

Mourinho still spoke, intending to give the kid some encouragement.

"If you're afraid of losing, you'll be nervous, but if you want to win, you'll not be nervous!"

Zhang Desheng was naturally not flustered at all, and his words made the entire locker room look sideways.

"Okay, then go show your talent!"

Mourinho was also stunned when he heard this, and then he was even a little unhappy, because he felt that Zhang Desheng had pretended to be a big success in front of him, didn't this steal his limelight?

But soon he shook his head, secretly wondering how could he be so bored and have such childish thoughts?

"Zhang, you're really cool enough, aren't you nervous?"

At this time, Postiga looked at Zhang Desheng, who was much younger than him, with a little admiration, this Chinese is really the same as the coach, and he has a kind of coolness.

"yes, it's not my first time playing for Porto, but every time I play, I'm still a little nervous and my heart beats faster than usual!"

Alves was also part of the starting line-up today and he takes this opportunity very seriously, as he could be sent out on loan if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to stay in the first team.

"There's no need to be nervous, because there's a very simple fact – not only will I be nervous, but my opponent will be nervous too!" Zhang Desheng smiled, "But if I'm not nervous, only my opponent will be nervous." ”

Alves and Postiga were stunned by these words, including McCarthy, who came over.

But the three of them were quickly speechless, because what he said sounded reasonable, but it was difficult to do, how could it be so simple!

However, Zhang Desheng is really right, because many players at Sporting Lisbon today will also be nervous.

Sporting Lisbon is different from Porto's almost all substitute lineups, they sent a semi-main + semi-rotation lineup today, which shows that they pay more attention than Porto.

But in this semi-rotation lineup, there is a little guy who has just been promoted from the second team.

Sporting Lisbon's coach Bologni is encouraging the young talent who has just played two games in the second team and has been promoted to the first team.

If you pull the camera over, you can see that this is a little guy with a young face, a thin body, and a face full of freckles, but his eyes are full of brilliance.

His name is Cristiano Ronaldo, a child who has just turned 17.

But Cristiano Ronaldo will be significantly more nervous than Zhang Desheng, who has played from the club's Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, second-tier and first-team teams this year, almost rocketing the path that others would have taken years to complete.

At this time, even Quaresma, who was already famous in Portugal, was a little jealous of Ronaldo's smooth sailing career.

He waited half a year in the second-tier team and played 15 games before he successfully took the position.

This little Luo was promoted to the first team after only two games in the B team, and he was not released back to the youth team after this promotion, and many Sporting Lisbon players were secretly jealous in their hearts at this time.

But there is no way, the head coach Boloni just looks at Ronaldo and teaches him all day long, and he really gives him a chance!

It would be less than a month after Ronaldo was transferred to the first team, and after not playing a few training matches, Bologna directly arranged for him to start in the Portuguese Cup, and the opponent was still a strong Porto.

"He's not the coach's bastard, is he?"

"I think it's a bit like it, otherwise how could I have him with me all the time."

"It's disgusting, his thin little body will definitely be eaten alive by the bastards of Porto today!"

“……”

A group of veteran players at Sporting Lisbon, looking at Ronaldo at the moment, their eyes are full of envy and jealousy, and some people even have some hatred.

However, speaking of which, Zhang Desheng and Ronaldo's career curves are not aged, in fact, they are surprisingly consistent, and they are all continuously upgraded in different echelons within a year.

He jumped from China U15 to China U17, then from China U17 to Macau U17, and then quickly rose to Macau U19, and then not long after he arrived at Porto's U19, and was also promoted to the B team, that is, the second team.

What's even more interesting is that within a few days of their promotion to the second team, they all met their own Bole.

Boloni didn't just promote Cristiano Ronaldo to the first team at the speed of light, but he really taught by word and deed and gave him the opportunity to perform.

The same is true of Mourinho, who is also under pressure from all the players in the first team to give Zhang a chance to play.

What else can be said about this, there are some people you can't envy and jealous, he just has talent, he just makes the manager like it, he is the child of destiny.

At this time, the starters of both teams have arrived in the players' tunnel, ready to play and fight their mortal enemies.

But soon, the eyes of both sides looked at the obviously young and immature figure on the opposite side at the same time.

"Who is this kid?"

This is the question mark that has risen in the minds of both starters, a total of 21 people at the same time?

At this time, the only person who was surprised, but did not ask questions in his heart, was naturally Zhang Desheng.

"Damn, he's actually a starter? On a notch with me? ”

This is Zhang Desheng's psychological activity, because he recognized at a glance the nervous face opposite, with a figure similar to himself, all thin as a bamboo pole, but his face was so green that he was about to crystallize on the spot.

"Ding!"

"If the Portuguese Luck Child is detected, if you win this game, you can capture 10% of the opponent's existing luck! (Non-permanent, luck can grow, only the existing deposit is deprived)"

"Failure Punishment: Deprived of 10% of your current luck by the opponent!"

When Zhang Desheng saw this system task that suddenly popped up, he immediately changed from surprise to seriousness!

"Deprive the existing 10% of the luck? That's TM still there! ”

Zhang Desheng naturally couldn't bear this kind of loss, and his expression at the moment even changed from serious to fierce.

"Made, I'm going to cry for a while!"

This is Zhang Desheng's only thought at the moment, he can't accept being deprived of 10% of his luck by others, even if this thing can be regenerated, he can't be robbed by others, so whoever comes today will have to die!
