The first stage of the Asian qualifiers will be held in the United Arab Emirates from August 1 to 18, with a total of 38 teams participating in this stage of the competition.

The 38 teams are divided into 10 groups, with the 1st and 6th teams in each group finishing the best in the 2nd place to qualify for the second stage of the qualifiers in December.

Zhang Desheng didn't think they would overturn, even if they drew the stick team that the whole country was eager to peel him and cramp, they wouldn't be able to get the first place at most, and they would never even be able to get the second.

At the end of June, the draw of lots was held in the host country, the United Arab Emirates.

The Macau team was accurately placed in the same group as the fourth bracket team in the group draw ceremony.

"This is not a trader, I don't believe it if I am killed!"

As soon as Zhang Desheng saw this group, he didn't have to think about it to know that the AFC was playing ghost inside.

As for whether it has anything to do with "luck"?

I can't guess this, but considering that Macau, China Football is actually absorbing the luck of mainland football, so maybe the two sides will produce something like quantum entanglement!

In the end, Macau was placed in Group E with China, India and Yemen in the second half of the division.

This result is actually acceptable to them and the national football team.

But for the other two, this Group E is undoubtedly the group of death.

Now the Macau team really does not have these two opponents in their eyes, and their goal is to compete with the national football team for the first place in the group.

"Ding!"

"The battle for orthodoxy begins!"

"Please lead Macau, China to plunder the luck of the men's football team!"

"The rating of this game is C-, and it is expected to gather 2,000 points of luck!"

This is the prompt given by the system after the grouping is released.

It's not a mission, it's more like some mechanic is activated.

The so-called convergence of luck is very easy to understand, it is nothing more than the higher the level of the game, the higher the luck gathered before the game.

The ultimate winner will naturally take all the luck gathered, and the loser will definitely have to pay the corresponding price.

He doesn't know what will happen if the men's football team loses, but the luck of Macau, China football is now equal to his own luck.

So if the Macau team loses, it must be deducted from his deposit!

Then this can't be endured, Zhang Dashao can only enter here, not out!

If anyone wants him to lose money, then he will play with you!

Therefore, the players of the Macau team can feel that after this topical grouping is released, their leading brother has trained himself more every day.

Also, the mental state of this leading brother seems to be a little too sensitive, as if someone is going to rob him at any time?

"Nonsense, if you lose but deduct money from my deposit, isn't that just to rob me?"

Zhang Desheng does not have the pressure of qualifying in the first stage now, but there is a pressure to be robbed at any time!

In this way, the Macau U20 team had an extremely important run-in at the Zhuhai base, and Zhang Desheng did not have time to participate in this kind of training at any time.

He himself also cherishes this time, this age is the fastest period of ball-rising, with his talent, even if he does not use the blessing of luck, the speed of progress under hard training is very fast.

At this time, with the blessing of huge luck, his progress speed can only be described as "Chinese speed", and the outstanding thing is that it is changing with each passing day!

The Macau team left for the UAE on August 4, and their first match will not start until the 10th.

The UAE can't afford 19 sets of matches at the same time, so they have come up with an 18-day schedule to separate the matches of nearly 40 teams.

Macau's Group E belongs to the bottom half of the division, and their game time is naturally scheduled for the back.

This is good and bad for Zhang Desheng, the good is that he has more time to improve himself and the whole team, and the bad is that after playing this first stage of qualifying, the Portuguese Super League will start soon.

To be precise, Porto's pre-season training camp started on July 1, and in mid-July, even Deco and others joined the training camp, and only Zhang Desheng was still playing in Asia.

This season's Portuguese Super League will be revived at the end of August.

Zhang Desheng did not go back until he finished this qualifier, which was tantamount to missing the most crucial preseason run-in with the team.

If an ordinary team leader dares to play like this, then he will have to start from the bench to fight for a new chance when he goes back.

But Zhang Desheng has no worries about his position, because Mourinho will give him a call every three days.

"Victory, our team's movement in the summer is not small!"

Shen Yi's "we" also has meaning, at this time Li Xiaobo and Tu Guangtai have been loaned out, or the kind of lease that is used for nothing, and then can be bought out at any time if it is used well.

Now only Shen Yi and Thiago are still waiting for opportunities in the second line of Porto in the small group, and of course Niu Zhanshan is about to go to the second line of Porto.

"yes, a bunch of new faces in the new season, I've become an old man in the team."

Zhang Desheng naturally knows that Mourinho has been crazy about bringing in/transferring players this summer.

But Shen Yi wouldn't know that most of these reinforcements had communicated on the phone.

Mourinho even told him about the characteristics of these newly introduced players, and even the role positioning after the introduction, so he almost asked again: Good boy, do you have any helpers you particularly want to work with?

This attitude is tantamount to telling Zhang Desheng - I am building you into the real core of the team!

And these new players, first of all, are right-back Paulo Ferreira, who has a brave style and high professionalism, which Mourinho wanted to bring in last season.

Then there is Maniche, who has an unruly personality and does not have a good relationship with his teammates and the club, but he has followed Mourinho since his time at Benfica.

Jose Mourinho has also made moves up front, buying Brazilian striker Delle from his former manager, Leiria.

Of course, in Porto's forward line for the new season, Zhang Desheng's starting position has been determined since last season.

Mourinho's real partner was five-time Lithuanian Footballer of the Year, 191cm tall senior striker Edgaras Jankauskas, a deal that cost Porto a lot of money.

In addition, players such as Emmanuel, Valente, Canela and others, who Mourinho also wanted to bring in last season, are part of the team's main rotation for the new season.

Zhang Desheng actually knows an inside information, that is, Thiago has confirmed that he will be promoted to the first team, but Shen Yi will continue to wait for the opportunity.

"Old Shen, you have to perform well in this qualifier!"

The night before Macau's U20 first match against India U20, Zhang Desheng looked at his team's schedule in his hotel room and almost made it clear to Shen Yi in the same room.

"Let's play India in the first game and China in the second game, and if we can win two in a row, you can go back to Porto early."

Shen Yi naturally knew that he needed to have an excellent performance, and Zhang Desheng could help him recommend him in front of Mourinho in the first team.

But his words are indeed what Zhang Desheng has been thinking, as long as Macau wins the first two games, he really doesn't need to play again in the last game.

When he arrives, he can rush back to pretend before the pre-season training camp closes, otherwise he will be the core of the forward line when he goes back without participating in the pre-season training, and those new teammates will have a whisper in their hearts if they don't say it.

"Indian football?"

Zhang Desheng turned off the light, and before falling asleep, he couldn't help but muttered about the first national team-level opponent in his career, and to be honest, he felt a little unhappy!

"I am known as the number one promising rising star in European football, and the heart of Porto's front court, having just been voted the most honest, lovable and sportsmanlike under the age of 18 by the Portuguese and Italian and Spanish media in particular...... How can you be my first opponent? I'm afraid that it took ten years of national fortune to get this honor, right? ”

With this idea that is enough to make 1.3 billion Ah San explode on the spot, Zhang Desheng fell asleep again, and then as soon as his eyes were closed and opened, the sky was clouded......
