Chapter Twenty-Seven: Madmen Lack Great Virtue!
"6 league games, 2 goals and 6 assists, the Chinese genius has proved that he is not relying on luck with continuous play!"
"If the lucky star of Porto asks us for a Portuguese citizenship, should we give him a pass for the Five Shields!"
"Five Shields and Macau football, we suggest Zhang consider the former, which will determine your long football career and whether you can finally reach the World Cup stage!"
“……”
The Portuguese media can't ignore Zhang now, because even many European media outside Portugal will start to focus on the Chinese rising star who has contributed two world-class goals in 10 games.
So the next day, the Portuguese media were full of praise for Zhang Desheng's performance, and even discussed the possibility of naturalizing Zhang Desheng.
Of course, the tone of the Portuguese media is still somewhat condescending, even using the arrogant and impudent word "give".
But considering that when Deco's future is planned, many Portuguese media will oppose it, including many Portuguese fans.
With such a comparison, you can see that the Portuguese are willing to take the initiative to give you a handout, which seems to be very difficult, so Zhang Desheng, a slave of the colony, should kneel down and thank you with tears in his eyes!
Zhang Desheng didn't expect that many Portuguese media would put forward this kind of proposal to naturalize him, which is probably because he didn't know that he was a player naturalized by the Macau team.
The Portuguese media still thought that he was from Macau, so in the eyes of the Portuguese, the naturalization of players from the former colony was not only a disgusting thing, but a rather proud thing, after all, it reminded them of the short but glorious time at the beginning.
Zhang Desheng naturally labeled the Portuguese team as a "rookie" first, and then put it behind him.
He has not the slightest interest in teams without the "Chinese" prefix, not even in naturalizing Portuguese players.
In the future, the Macau team will only be strengthened by naturalizing players from the mainland, and this naturalization can be completed directly through the bloodline rule without considering the length of time spent in the local area.
In addition to giving birth to the brains of naturalizing Zhang Desheng, the Portuguese media also discovered the possibility of Porto staging an epic reversal at this time.
This season's Porto were nine points behind Sporting Lisbon after losing to Leiria in the round of 23.
At that time, no one would have thought that Porto would have a chance to counterattack, until the addition of a lucky star allowed Porto to keep scoring points, and the situation quietly changed in bits and pieces.
With 71 points, Porto has surpassed Boavista on goal difference and moved up to second place in the standings.
They are now two points clear of top-placed Sporting Lisbon with just one game to overtake.
This has excited fans all over Portugal, although the disadvantage of up to 9 points is placed in the entire history of the Portuguese Super League, not counting the super reversals of the previous ones, but it is not a scene that can be seen very often.
As long as Porto can finally achieve this reversal, it will also create a rare classic counterattack case in the history of the Portuguese Super League, and it will become a very strong stroke in the history of the Porto team.
But the initiative of this counterattack is not in the hands of Porto.
Sporting Lisbon's final game came a day earlier than Porto, and as long as they can hold a draw against a weak Watson club, it will be useless for Porto to take all three points in their final league game.
Therefore, the probability of this counterattack is still not high, even Porto's own fans feel that Sporting Lisbon may not be able to get three points, but it is too contemptuous to be defeated by Watson.
Mourinho also spoke in front of his players on several occasions after beating Sporting Lisbon, but he did not talk about the league counterattack, instead emphasizing the upcoming Portuguese Cup final - this cup is a real championship in their hands!
"A great person is not in control of the fate of others, but in control of his own!"
Jose Mourinho reiterated his need to take control of his destiny before leading his team to Lisbon for the final of the Portuguese Cup at the "Stadio Nacional de Portugal".
As for whether Sporting Lisbon will give them a chance to fight back, it depends on whether God favors them.
"God counts the oldest, my system has already spoiled!"
Zhang is the only one who believes that Sporting Lisbon will overturn, because without that premise, his task to win the title would not have happened.
However, Mourinho is right, they should really set their sights on the Portuguese Cup first.
The opponent is another team in the top three of the Portuguese Super League - Benfica.
"I know the guys in Porto have a good idea, but I'm not going to let them win a single game in Lisbon!"
As soon as Porto arrived in the capital, Lisbon, Benfica coach Duarte said this in an interview, which was even more crazy than Mourinho's.
And his taunt was naturally taken to Mourinho by reporters at the pre-match press conference the day before the game.
Mourinho's face was slightly angry when he heard this, he was of course annoyed by Duarte's remarks, so he replied in front of everyone: "Duarte's words sound full of jealousy, he is jealous that we are chasing from 9 points behind to only 2 points, and at the same time afraid that we can complete this miraculous reversal, and even more afraid that we will step on their corpses in tomorrow's game to complete the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese Super League two consecutive championships." ”
This riposte can be said to be very poking the lungs, but Mourinho still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, and soon found another opportunity, and said in a strange way: "Of course I know that they want to swallow us in one bite, because we have already defeated their brother teams in the league and cup competitions, and now it is their turn to repeat this embarrassing scene again!" ”
Zhang Desheng was still not brought to the pre-match press conference, but after learning that Mourinho's mouth was so poisonous, he still had to secretly praise this crazy coach, who is indeed one of the few people in football who can barely see his back in terms of language ability.
But the side effect was that the hotel they stayed at was crowded early that night with Benfica fans who cursed Mourinho, and even quite a few Sporting Lisbon fans.
The reason for their anger is, of course, Mourinho's "brother team", you must know that the two teams have long been on the same page due to class positions and political issues.
The two teams have had many cold wars in history that have severed all official exchanges, and they have long been incompatible.
Porto's relationship with these two teams is not so bad, after all, they have not been on the rise for a long time, and the hatred value with these two teams is not particularly high.
This is also the shadow of Mourinho, the two teams came to curse his fans, and it didn't take long for the first fight downstairs, and finally one was sent to the bureau by the police who had been on guard nearby.
"Our translation coach is really bad!"
"Haha, our oily-haired and powdery coach still has this hand?"
"It's a shame that I still have several cans of beer, and they were all taken!"
"Haha, what a wonderful but short group fight!"
“……”
At this time, as the results got better and better, and even had the opportunity to stage a big comeback, the Porto players became more and more respectful of Mourinho.
Now even some old players who originally sneered at him did not dare to blatantly oppose him at this time.
Zhang Desheng also expressed his admiration for Mourinho's hand, he didn't expect this little translator to be quite lacking in morality!
