Chapter 22: Lucky Star!
Zhang Desheng maintained an optimistic attitude and continued his start that was actually not inferior to Bailey.
At this time, the Porto media had already regarded him as the team's rising star, and the Portuguese media also felt that Zhang Desheng was a rising star.
But whether it is Porto or the whole of Portugal, it will still be because of the problem of skin color, in fact, it is a little contempt for Zhang Desheng's growth trajectory, ignoring his terrifying height in the beginning!
He was born in May 1985, and he was only 16 years and 11 months old at this time (he counted on his toes for a long time, but he still didn't understand).
Pele had only just made his debut for Santos at this age, but by the time he established himself in the first team, he was 17 years old.
In other words, Zhang is even a little taller than Pele of the same age at the starting line.
If he was a Portuguese, it is estimated that the Portuguese media would have regarded him as a football king and a seedling.
Porto fans are unaware that there are people in their squad who would dare to compare themselves to Pele, who are now heartbroken by the defeat in the Champions League.
After losing 1:2 to Sparta Prague, they were not only eliminated from the group, but only got an embarrassing record of 1 draw and 5 losses in 6 games.
Porto's media and fans are okay with the Champions League exit, but it's a bit unacceptable for such a humiliating process.
So Mourinho, who had just looked good for a few days, became the target of local media criticism in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Desheng is very sympathetic to Mourinho on this issue, Porto has achieved good results in the domestic league and cup competitions during this time, and he, the firefighting coach, has only coached three of the Champions League games, and he has obviously given up the strategy, but the result is still criticized by the media and fans!
He was in the opposite situation with Jose Mourinho, who made him not play in the Champions League at all.
Many Porto fans are even wondering if this blessed little guy could play in the Champions League, would they have a different result?
"Fu Jiang?"
Zhang Desheng did not get a chance to play in the 29th round of the league, but when he saw that the media in Porto began to call him "Fu Jiang" after the game, he was still a little confused.
That's a translated meaning, of course, but the media and fans in Porto do think he can bring good luck to the team.
Who let the game play for more than a month, everyone found that as long as Zhang Desheng played in the game, regardless of whether it was a starter or a substitute, he finally won it.
But those games where he didn't play ended up either losing or being forced to draw.
Just like in this 29th round of the league, Porto were held to a 1-1 draw away by Maritimo in the middle of the Portuguese Super League.
"Ding!"
"Got the first nickname of your career, Lucky Star!"
"Reward 2500 luck!"
"Use this nickname to get an additional 10% of the luck you get per match (only one nickname can be activated before each match)."
Zhang Desheng was indeed a little confused when he received the news, he didn't expect the nickname to have this bonus effect?
At this time, I don't know if Mourinho learned from the media that Zhang Desheng just got the nickname of "Lucky Star"?
Anyway, he really sent Zhang Desheng to play in the next round of the league.
This time, he still let him start directly in the second half.
In this game, Zhang Desheng was obviously in good shape, constantly using his excellent dribbling skills and organizational skills to create chances for the team on the wing, and finally really contributed a key assist, successfully allowing Porto to beat Maritimo who was ranked fifth at the time 2-1.
"Zhang, he's really our lucky star, he's got another win for the team!"
"Zhang, you are such a good guy who can bring luck!"
"Jose, you must let Zhang continue to play in the next game!"
ββ¦β¦β
After the game, many Porto fans even stayed at the scene, shouting loudly at Zhang Desheng and Mourinho who were walking towards the players' tunnel!
At this time, the commentator of Porto TV, Rui Sr., also took a statistic and said: "Look at our lucky star, he has only been in the first team for a month and a half, and he has made two appearances in the Portuguese Cup and four appearances in the league, five of which have helped the team win, and the other has also helped the team turn a defeat into a draw. And in his individual performance, he also contributed 3 goals and 5 assists. I really hope that Coach Jose will continue to give this little guy a chance to play, he is not only the lucky star of the team, but he also really contributes to the team's winning. β
#######
"Haha, you even have a nickname now!"
"3 goals and 5 assists in 6 games, and you have become the lucky star of the team, I really envy you!"
When small groups in Macau ate hot pot together at night, Li Xiaobo and Tu Guangtai inevitably felt a wave of envy and jealousy.
But Zhang Desheng shook his head, and said a little unhappily: "They are subconsciously using 'luck' to ignore my performance!" Do you think my performance is really lucky? β
"This?"
Li Xiaobo and Tu Guangtai didn't expect this layer, and they were directly dumb.
"It's a kind of self-deception, they still don't want to accept it, or they resist that a Chinese star is rising, so they subconsciously use luck to explain the winning performance, just like they always believe that we will collapse."
Shen Yi and Zhang Desheng are very synchronized in the three views, and the two obviously want to go together.
"That's not easy, you can prove yourself with a better performance!"
Li Xiaobo shook his head, he felt that Zhang Desheng was somewhat cheap, and he didn't want to have a nickname from a fan.
"You don't have to sigh, I've heard about it in the first team, your performance in the second team is getting better and better, and your opportunity will not be far away!"
Zhang Desheng knew that these three people were very envious of him for being able to gain a foothold in the first team so quickly, but his words were not simply comforting, but he had recovered some of his luck to these three people.
At this time, as long as you open the system page, you can see that there is a new change in the "Luck Consumption Details" -
Host luck value: 30410 pointsβ
Macau, China football, daily -25
Zhang Desheng: Enhance offense, -5 per day; Enhancement techniques, -10 daily; Enhanced movement, -5 per day, Enhanced physical fitness, -5 daily.
Shen Yi: Enhancement Technique, -5 daily; Enhanced mobility, -2.5 per day, and physical enhancement, -2.5 daily.
Li Xiaobo: Enhanced offense, -5 per day; Enhanced mobility, -2.5 per day, and physical enhancement, -2.5 daily.
Tuguangtai: Strengthens defense, -5 daily; Enhanced mobility, -2.5 per day, and physical enhancement, -2.5 daily.
Total consumption - -80 per day
If calculated according to this consumption range, his current luck can only last for 380 days before it is exhausted.
But he couldn't help but allocate some of them to cultivate these three people, and if it weren't for the sake of retaining some margin, he even planned to give Thiago 10 Qi a day to use to improve.
is still the same sentence, if he is allowed to lead the Macau team single-core, let alone qualify for the 06 World Cup, it is difficult to say whether he can reach the top 10 in the end.
Therefore, improving the strength of Shen Yi and the three of them is a necessary investment to earn more luck in the future.
If he can't even afford to invest in advance, then he will only be unable to complete the task in the future, and in the end he will be unlucky.
However, he is not always sitting on the sidelines, and the system will also provide him with some tasks from time to time, and even unexpected gains.
Just like this nickname, it's a windfall.
His previous luck dispute with Ronaldo Jr. also deprived the other party of some luck.
He was also given a new assignment in the second round of the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup at home to Braga.
"Ding!"
"New Mission!"
"Please help your team win the Portuguese Cup!"
"Successful mission rewards 2,500 luck points!"
"Mission failure, 2500 luck points will be deducted!"
Of course, Zhang Desheng will not miss such a reward, this is a month's ration for their small group!
At this time, the person who is as ambitious as him is Mourinho, who is still harshly treated by the media and fans.
This can only be said that the pressure to coach the top teams is so great, because the demand of the fans is to succeed and not fail!
Porto is a quasi-giant team, even if Mourinho takes over halfway, the fans' requirements for him will not be lowered because of this.
So this Portuguese Cup title is the key to whether he can continue to coach Porto next season!
If you don't answer this question well, then maybe history will change.
"Lucky Star?" Mourinho couldn't help but look at a name on the small book at this time, and laughed at himself in his heart, "I hope you can really bring me luck!" β
