Chapter Thirty-Nine: A New Nickname!

For the first time, Zhang Desheng found that he and Mourinho were able to show a heart-to-heart compatibility at certain times.

At this time, Porto is stimulated by their large and small ones, which can be described as a rainbow of momentum, scrambling!

This momentum was even more evident at the entrance, where the Porto fans could feel as if each of them was walking with a gust of wind, as if a raging wave was sweeping in.

But what this wave is about to swallow away is not the superficial opponent of today, but the hope in the hearts of all the players and fans of Sporting Lisbon behind it!

At this time, the reporters in the media area took pictures of the stadium while discussing the momentum of the Porto players today.

"Have you noticed that Porto today has a kind of momentum that looks down on the world?"

"It can be seen that their morale is high, and they seem to want to turn over all obstacles with unstoppable momentum."

"But they had to win by eight goals to pull off a miracle! I'm still not optimistic that they can do it! ”

"yes, I didn't think Farens were going to give it their all for a game that wasn't about them, but did you see a starting line-up for today?"

"It's really weird, it looks like Porto isn't working, Lisbon is putting a lot of effort behind the scenes!"

"Hey, Zhang started today?"

“……”

At 16:15 p.m. that day, there were still more than three hours to go before another real battle of national European attention began.

Now there are only 15 minutes left in the game that has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe and is used as a pre-dinner snack.

At this time, the starters of the two teams have completed their appearances and are taking pictures in their respective halves.

There was only one surprise in Porto's starting line-up, and that was Zhang Desheng's appearance in the starting line-up, which was also his second start of the season.

The starting line-up of Farens was even more unexpected, and they actually played the main force in a game that had nothing to do with them!

It is not known if it is to defend its dignity or if a certain capital team is operating behind it.

Anyway, Zhao Yuting slapped his thigh angrily in front of the TV, and secretly said that he shouldn't have worried so much at that time.

Now Sporting Lisbon has gone through the process they should go through first, which makes the already difficult difficulty directly become a hell level!

"Farense is very good, it is not a problem for Zhang to play 70 minutes, if you allocate your energy reasonably, it is not impossible to play the whole game."

At this time, Mourinho also realized that today's difficulty was higher than expected, and the opposite side obviously wanted to set up an iron bucket formation.

Thankfully, he sent Zhang Desheng as the starter, and what was needed most in this situation today was his ability to take chances and create better ones.

As for Zhang's fitness problems, this is not a problem at all in Mourinho's eyes.

If they can't complete the task in 70 minutes, or at least complete most of the task, then it doesn't make much difference whether they follow up or not.

Porto's starting line-up today -

Front: Zhang Desheng (73, 1985, 181 cm), Benny McCarthy (82, 1977, 184 cm), Alenichev (81, 1972, 172 cm)

Midfielders: Nuno Capjo (80, 1972, 183 cm), Deco (88, 1977, 176), Costinha (82, 1974, 181 cm)

Back: Mario Silva (79, 1977, 175 cm), Jorge Andrade (80, 184 cm, 1978), Ricardo Carvalho (83, 1978, 182 cm), Secretario (78, 1970, 174 cm)

Goalkeeper: Vitor Baia (84, 1969, 184cm).

Porto played an unexpectedly attacking formation today, with Zhang Desheng also placed on the left winger.

There is no need to look at the squad on Farense's side, and there are few players in a Portuguese league relegation team that can make Porto look down.

This Zhang Desheng can prove that today's starters in his system, the highest ability value is only 78, and only 2 people have an ability value of more than 75, and a total of 5 people in the team have an ability value of more than 70.

Let's put it this way, his ability on paper can be ranked fourth in Farens, and the combat effectiveness he can actually show, I'm afraid no one in the whole Farens can compare with him.

So this team will be relegated one round earlier, which is not something that can be done by losing or losing casually, but it has not won a few games in a whole season, which is really a fish belly that even the Chinese team can't play.

But the formation of Farens today was crucial, and Mourinho's face was ugly at this time, because Farens put on a 5-4-1 formation.

He even felt that this so-called 5-4-1 formation had become 5-5-0 if he didn't get it right.

Zhang Desheng was already standing in the backfield at this time, but his eyes were fixed on the veteran Herrera who was facing today.

This is Farense's main right-back, a Spanish full-back who was born in 1969 and turned 33 years old at this time, and the age difference between the two is nearly doubled.

Farense's head coach Ashiwai also didn't want to send a veteran to defend Zhang Desheng, but the problem was that their second substitute in this position was injured, and the third substitute was a Brazilian defender born in '83, and the little guy's defense was not reliable at all.

After his eyes stayed on Zhang Desheng for a moment, he immediately looked at Deco, who had played well in the final of the Portuguese Cup.

Zhang Desheng's performance in the Portuguese Cup is indeed amazing, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the player who really contributed to the greatest and caused the most damage was the top midfielder who failed to make the Brazilian team.

"Toot!"

At this time, with the referee's whistle, the "appetizer of the Champions League final", which was rated as a 3-star "appetizer of the Champions League final", and the "Portuguese Super League Palace Closing Drama" kicked off in the frantic shouts of nearly 60,000 Porto fans in the "Dorado Stadium".

However, the live broadcast camera of the scene deliberately gave a close-up of the rostrum at this moment, because there was a championship trophy on it that I didn't know if it was true or not.

The Portuguese Football Federation had a difficult time today, and although Porto's hopes of a comeback with a goal difference of 8 goals are not great, the result is indeed not good.

So whether to get the championship trophy to Sporting Lisbon or to get it here, you really have to think about it.

In the end, after discussions, the Portuguese Football Federation decided to quietly place the real body of this season's Portuguese Super League trophy at the home stadium of Sporting Lisbon, and Porto prepared a replica trophy for this game.

It's also a reasonable approach, who gave Sporting Lisbon a three-point lead and a huge advantage of seven goal difference.

However, from the start of the game, Porto showed the world the confidence and momentum of the championship, and they launched a fierce attack on Farense almost from the first minute.

In the third minute, Deco broke through and split the ball to the right, and Alenichev changed direction at high speed and forced his way past another Spanish defender, Fernando, before sending a cross with his feet.

Capujo's unmarked header at the back post missed the target and Porto missed the chance to get off to a dream start.

At this time, the players and fans in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief, they are now more afraid of Porto scoring than anyone else.

"No way, they can't score eight goals!"

"They can't score eight goals, they have to win by eight goals!"

"That's right, no matter how weak Farens is, it's not an amateur team, and even if it's an amateur team, as long as it sticks to it, it won't be as exaggerated as a net win of 8 goals!"

“……”

The Saudi team gave a thumbs up to each side first!

The players on Sporting Lisbon's side were cheering themselves on, but there were two little guys in the crowd with very ugly faces.

These two people are naturally Zhang Desheng's son Quaresma, and the little Ronaldo who was beaten off by him and even quietly marked as "Caiqiao No. 1".

Don't ask who "Caibi No. 2" is at this time!

Anyway, these two people don't know why, and they both have a not very good premonition in their hearts!?

This feeling is not cranky, because even if Farense put on an iron bucket formation, but just 2 minutes after the last danger, Deco used his strong body and top-level ball protection to directly stumble and break the defense in the middle.

"Good shot!"

Deco saw another defender rushing towards him and immediately distributed the ball to the left.

This time, Zhang Desheng faced the 33-year-old Spanish veteran, and a rare one forced overtaking from the outside lane after wearing the crotch, and actually staged a side hurricane after the ball was divided!

To be honest, he got off to a fast start this time, but it wasn't amazingly fast!

However, Herrera was too slow to stand up, and after Zhang Desheng chased the ball passed to him, he even took advantage of the situation to pass the defending Kavak.

At this time, Sporting Lisbon was almost scared to pee, because Farens naturally did not invest too much in Zhang Desheng's defense, and the result was that as soon as these two people were passed, no one could make up for it in time.

There is still plenty of room for improvement in Zhang's pace, and his accuracy on the ball as he cuts inside into the box is not perfect, and he has to adjust his shots at the end, which actually gives the Farense players time to react.

But the problem is that the players have been too slow to react, which is very much in line with their statistic that they have conceded the most goals in the league this season.

After Zhang Desheng burst into the penalty area with two people in a row, no one took the initiative to step forward to make up for the defense at this moment.

This gave Zhang the opportunity to adjust before shooting and then hit the goal from a tight angle.

Serbia's third goalkeeper Zoran is a tall man who picks his position well, but he doesn't seem to react fast enough and has a little less agility, the ball sticks to the turf and passes under his armpit, grazing the left post and flying into the goal!

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”

"In the 6th minute of the first half, our lucky star once again brought luck to the team!"

"But thanks also to Deco's lethal pass down the left flank, his through ball easily penetrated the Farense defence!"

"Zhang won 1-2 on the left side, not only got rid of Herrera with a shocking human ball, but his subsequent inside cut made the defenders elusive!"

"We can see that Zhang's man-ball combination ability is still slightly flawed, but he burst into the penalty area and dodged the angle without hesitation and scored with a low shot, which perfectly illustrates what it means to seal the throat with a sword!"

"He is like an oriental swordsman full of poet temperament, who can always seal his throat with a sword in an understatement!"

“……”

At this time, Porto's commentary unknowingly gave Zhang Desheng a new nickname - "Oriental Swordsman"!
