Sporting Lisbon's attitude towards this game is clearly not as determined as Porto's.

That's because they're in a much better situation, three points ahead of Boavista in the league at this point, with more goal difference and essentially securing a Champions League spot.

They will not be able to be overturned by Porto unless they lose this game to Porto and the Watson club also overturn in their last game against the relegation zone.

This probability is obviously not large, but it cannot be ignored.

So in this game, they can accept a draw, which is enough importance for Porto.

Bologni's tactics are also set up around "winning the draw", so you don't have to play to know what the outcome will be.

Jose Mourinho prepared for this game for a week, but he really didn't expect Sporting Lisbon to play so conservatively, starting in a 4-5-1 defensive formation.

Zhang Desheng was also surprised by Sporting Lisbon's tactics, but what surprised him even more was that not only did he not see Ronaldo's figure today, but even Quaresma did not enter the starting line-up.

"It's a pity, I want to rob you again!"

Zhang Desheng didn't know that this was Bologni's helpless move, Ronaldo would not be able to rely on it, and Quaresma saw him now, just like a son meeting his father.

If Quares is really allowed to go immediately, then the fans of all Portugal should see a good show of father's love and filial piety.

"Good guys, Sporting Lisbon players, why do you feel a little unproductive?"

Zhang Desheng watched it for a while, and found that the situation on the field was not quite right, and it quickly developed into Porto beating violently according to Lisbon!

Jose Mourinho smiled proudly, he was afraid that this would happen today, so not only did he send a combination of young McCarthy and Postiga up front, but also sent nearly half of the members of the central midfield who failed to make the national team.

At this time, coupled with Deco, who began to play hard after losing the Brazilian team, Porto's squad played a combat effectiveness far beyond Sporting Lisbon today.

Zhang Desheng also quickly understood why this was the case, because this season's Sporting Lisbon actually surpassed Porto in terms of hard power.

This is evident from the fact that the number of players selected for the Portuguese national team is almost double that of Porto, and it is clear that Sporting Lisbon has won the title this season.

But today's problem is precisely the number of players selected for the national team, which makes Sporting Lisbon's main starters reluctant to fight Porto in the league before the start of the World Cup!

They are now three points ahead of second-placed Boavista and five ahead of third-placed Porto, and as long as they don't end in a two-game losing streak, they can secure the title on goal difference if they can get a draw in their last two games.

So even if they lose to Porto today, it's not unacceptable, and in the final game against the Watson club in the relegation zone, they can't even get a draw, right?

So, when they saw that Porto was menacing today, the actions on the field were extremely rough, and some people even showed their spikes from time to time, the players of Sporting Lisbon were directly coaxed.

And this instigation was completely controlled by the midfielder led by Deco, and he could only be beaten passively, and it was too late to resist at this time, because he was not in shape at all, and he couldn't find the rhythm of the game.

In the end, thanks to Deco's long-range shot from outside the box, Porto not only led 1-0 in the first half, but also made Sporting Lisbon pay the price of a red card in the box.

Mourinho didn't open the champagne at half-time because he suddenly realized that his team still had a chance to win the title?

He didn't really think it would be such an exaggeration to chase five points in the last two games, but if they win today's game, they will not only catch up with Boavista, but also close the gap between Sporting Lisbon to two points.

Now the situation is completely different, they really have a chance to stage a script that turns the tables against the sky!

Although Sporting Lisbon's last game was against Watson in the relegation zone, the gap between the two teams in terms of hard power is not small.

But the problem is that Watson will definitely fight hard at home in order not to be relegated.

Sporting Lisbon's players may not be willing to fight each other's bayonets, because there is only half a month left before the World Cup.

In this case, the huge gap in strength between the two sides is likely to be smoothed out by the completely different will and desire to fight.

Zhang Desheng's mind also moved, he felt that he was in that situation, and he probably didn't want to fight with others.

The World Cup is only once every four years, and it is good for the vast majority of players to play once in their lives, and even first-class stars dare not expect their form to be maintained until the next tournament.

Therefore, Sporting Lisbon is not without the possibility of losing to Watson, and once they do lose to Watson, Porto's last game is against Farense, who has been confirmed to be relegated, and those three points will not be lost even if the whole second team goes up to play.

"We still have a chance to win the championship!"

Mourinho couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of this possibility, and naturally brought the idea to the players at half-time.

This made Porto's players also excited, after all, this kind of Jedi comeback is one of the few in the entire history of the Portuguese Super League, and it is definitely an honor that can be blown for a lifetime.

At this time, even some players who are destined to leave next season want to create another miracle before leaving.

But Mourinho no longer trusts these people, and the only substitution at half-time was to replace Postiga with Zhang Desheng.

This time, Zhang Desheng was placed on the front line by Mourinho again, and he was a second striker who was relatively backward, which can also be said to be a shadow striker.

This substitution, even Mourinho didn't know the bottom of his heart, and even wanted to change his mind for a moment, feeling that this arrangement was too risky.

However, after seeing Zhang Desheng, who was still calm, he still chose to believe in his own vision.

But I have to say that his recent use of Zhang Desheng is somewhat of a mad scientist's experiment.

Today is such an important game, and he can still use Zhang Desheng in a new position so boldly, it is difficult to have an inexplicable connection with such a mysterious thing as luck.

Zhang Desheng was really not nervous at this time, because he was the best at playing No. 9 and a half.

He went to play on the wing, in fact, he wasted his excellent ability to break through with the ball face-to-face, and he wasted his talent for one-kick shots, and even more so his superb shooting skills.

Even if he has time to strengthen his defense in the future, with his infinite reflexes close to the limits of humanity, it is conceivable that he will block passes and make tackles in the opposite half.

So after coming off the bench in the second half, Zhang Desheng's second touch of the ball almost opened the door of Sporting Lisbon with a long-range shot.

"Hell, hold on to him!"

Boloni is now afraid and hated Zhang Desheng, and the ball almost flew off the field against the crossbar, which is too terrifying!

But soon, Zhang Desheng got the ball again.

In the position of shadow striker, the biggest change is that he has more balls.

Zhang Desheng actually has a specialty that he even ignores, that is, his excellent running ability, his running position is really erratic!

Porto have a real master midfielder in midfield, and Deco can't say much about his relationship right now, but there will never be a chance not to pass the ball.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Desheng runs out of the vacancy, then if there is no accident in the football, most of them will be passed to his side in time, and there are even many passes with some tempting advances.

So soon, Deco scored twice.

That's right, Zhang Desheng used a highly imaginative stoppage in the 52nd minute of the second half to directly get rid of the main defender of the Portuguese national team, Rui Jorge.

This is not over, in the face of the Irish international Phil Babu, who is making up for the defense, Zhang Desheng used a sassy croquettes to clean people up again.

However, just after the players of Sporting Lisbon put all their eyes on Zhang Desheng, who had already burst into the penalty area, the football at his feet came to Deco in the back row at some point.

"You all get out of here and go to the World Cup!"

Facing this wonderful pass that he didn't even expect, Deco scolded in his heart and raised his leg fiercely.

Portugal's No.3 goalkeeper, Nelson Pereira, barely reacted to Deco's furious bombardment, and the ball slammed into the back of the net behind him.

Zhang Desheng looked at Deco with an angry face, of course he knew why the Brazilian always looked like the whole world owed him money during this time.

But he didn't have the idea of abducting Deco to the Macau team, because that was impossible.

Not to mention that Deco could not give up the invitation of the Portuguese team and chose not to enter the Macau team in Asia.

It is unlikely that the new rule will be fulfilled simply if there is no ancestry from the country of naturalization within three generations, and the new rule requires that the country of citizenship of the new nationality has been resided for at least three years (more than 160 days per year).

Therefore, if the Macau team wants to naturalize players, it can only choose mainland players like F4, or mixed blood like Thiago.

Both of these players meet the pedigree requirements, so as long as they have not played in an international A-level competition for another country or region, they can directly represent Macau.

But it's impossible for them to naturalize any foreign player who plays in Europe, especially if a star like Deco wants to naturalize.

Besides, Zhang Desheng is unwilling to naturalize this kind of foreign player with no Chinese ancestry, and Thiago's mixed race is already the limit of what he can accept.

He has been a staunch all-Chinese squad for two lifetimes, and if he wants to rely on foreign aid to play, then he feels that it is better to disband on the spot!
