"Your second goal, which could have been scored more easily, but you deliberately made several meaningless moves before the goal, is this a deliberate attempt to humiliate Real Madrid?"

The reporter of the newspaper Marca looked at Zhang Desheng with an almost hateful gaze after the game, and the question was also very unceremonious.

"Of course not, if you don't believe me, ask the Real Madrid players and see if they think there is anything humiliating about that goal?"

Zhang Desheng's answer is very insidious, if anyone dares to ask the Real Madrid players about the goal, it is estimated that the person asked will be red on the spot.

He naturally knew that Madrid's media would not give him good fruit to eat after the game, so after answering this question, he immediately began to fight back.

He praised directly in front of the media of various countries: "Real Madrid's defensive counterattack played very well today, I think it is better than us, our coach also said that we should study Real Madrid's defensive counterattack after going back, their counterattack is really efficient!" ”

Zhang Desheng didn't expect his words, and the next day he got a public response from Bosque.

He saw Bosque on TV in front of the camera and said sharply: "He's talking nonsense!" We didn't play counter-attacking at all, we can't play counter-attacking in our lifetime...... He's slandering me, he's slandering us! ”

The ghost look of Bosque when he was interviewed was like being stabbed in a hornet's nest!

But Zhang Desheng can't take care of Real Madrid, because it will be the second meeting with AC Milan in eight days.

The importance of this battle is self-evident, as long as you can win the qualification, it will be basically stable.

Therefore, Porto's main players were rested in the 23rd round of the league, which made them draw 1-1 at home to Belamare.

Jose Mourinho didn't care about winning or losing in the league for a long time, and they drew a double-digit lead over second place.

In the last ten rounds of the league, as long as they don't lose a few games in a row like Barcelona, they don't need to worry about overturning.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to February 26th.

Milanese are naturally vigorous to get back on the field, but Porto, who is sitting at home, is growing rapidly under the experience of repeated hard battles.

This growth is especially reflected in the defence, Carvalho, Ferreira, and Bosingwa, the three big defenders, are all young players who are under 25 years old, or even in their early 20s.

They will improve very quickly at this level of play, because the opponents are basically the best attacking footballers on the planet.

Therefore, relying on home advantage, Porto's defensive counterattack showed resilience beyond AC Milan's expectations.

But the problem lies in Zhang Desheng, who made the headlines of major sports media across Europe for this gift, and his performance today can be described as quite stretching after another career highlight battle with Real Madrid.

"Am I my aunt here? Is it in such a bad state? ”

Zhang Desheng himself couldn't believe it, even if his shooting target was crooked to his grandmother's house today, even the reaction only recovered to the level of 99++, and the pass was always inaccurate and broken.

In the end, only one of the five shots on goal in the first half was on target, but after a lot of mistakes, Mourinho simply replaced him at half-time and replaced him directly with a midfielder to play as a double midfielder.

Porto's defense was still quite reliable, and in the end they stubbornly held a 0:0 at home.

The result wasn't the best for Porto, but it was definitely acceptable, not only did they not score a single away goal, but they also won one and drew one of their two legs against AC Milan.

As a result, they are left with home games against Real Madrid and away games against Bayer Leverkusen.

At this time, hurry up and count the points, Real Madrid defeated Bayer Leverkusen at the same time, and it is currently 3 wins and 1 draw with 10 points; They are now 1 win, 3 draws, 6 points; AC Milan 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, 4 points; Bayer Leverkusen are 1 draws, 3 losses, and 1 point.

This group standings situation can be said to be very favorable for Porto, Leverkusen has already confirmed an early exit, and Real Madrid is likely to qualify early.

Porto only need a win next to secure a second place in the group.

"Bayer Leverkusen must be killed!"

This is the unanimous goal of Porto, and Real Madrid's old bastards will not be easy to win even at home.

But considering that Bayer Leverkusen have already gone out of the tournament early, even if they go away to play them, they have a good chance.

Zhang Desheng is also preparing for this, and he now does not hesitate to spend his luck to practice 4 hours of free kicks and 2 hours of shooting practice every night.

This kind of training is very efficient, because you don't need to worry about the exertion of physical strength, and you can practice almost without rest until you wake up.

So on March 4, in the 24th round of their away league against Benfica, when Porto was still 1:2 down at the end of the second half, Zhang Desheng grabbed another free kick.

Although he didn't play a perfect line change elevator ball this time, the obvious sharp trajectory still reminded everyone of the shocking free kick against Real Madrid half a month ago.

Porto eventually secured their unbeaten run of the season thanks to Zhang's first free-kick in the league and their 20th goal in the league.

Mourinho took the initiative to hug Zhang Desheng after the game and praised him again and again for his excellent performance in this game.

This is to keep the "unbeaten league", there are only 2 times in the entire history of the Portuguese Super League, so this free kick is really worth a thousand dollars.

Zhang Desheng also relied on this near-killer free kick, coupled with the TOP free kick against Real Madrid that year, and the rest of the season can be shared with Deco on the free kick right.

"Oh, did you mean that free kick? Yes, it does drop a bit more than a normal leaf ball, and I've added a few line changes to it, but that kind of high-quality ball doesn't kick out every time...... Name? Well, of course there is, and I gave it a new name - Elevator Ball! ”

When Zhang Desheng was asked about the free kick after the game, he finally didn't want Bilian to preemptively register the trademark in front of the camera.

The next day, the media in Portugal and Spain were discussing what Zhang Desheng called "elevator ball", because judging from the sudden falling arc, this description is somewhat appropriate.

But what made him more painful was that when the name of this free kick began to spread in European football, several brands that produce "elevators" came to him for endorsement within a few days.

This made Zhang Desheng, who had already been approached by most of the famous watch manufacturers, speechless, and he could understand why those watch manufacturers were looking for him to endorse.

But is there such a thing as an elevator really necessary?

Do they think it's a good thing to fall quickly?

But he doesn't have much time to worry about it, as Porto face a quarter-final match in the Portuguese Cup on March 8.

Mourinho didn't hesitate much, and naturally played with an all-bench lineup, just bringing a few main players to the bench just in case.

Zhang Desheng didn't think he would play, but after the current 70 minutes, Porto still couldn't win the opponent 1:1.

Mourinho can only replace Zhang Desheng to rush, if this game is drawn, then he will have to play the second leg half a month later, so let Zhang Desheng finish the game.

Zhang Desheng is abusing the dishes now, which can only be said to be "cruel"!

He had been on the pitch for less than ten minutes before he scored a penalty in the box.

At this time, Deco was not on the field, and he, the No. 9, naturally took the lead, stood on the penalty spot, and successfully finished Boavista!

After playing this Portuguese Cup, Porto will travel to North Rhine to wait for the fifth group stage of the Champions League in three days.

It was also a fateful game for both teams, with as long as Porto can pick up three points on the road, then AC Milan's theoretical hopes of qualifying are gone.

Then, they played 1:1 with Bayer Leverkusen!

Mourinho's expression after the game was a little dull, but more angry!

Naturally, these anger was not directed at the players, but the angry referee blew them off for offside with a valid goal, and also turned a blind eye to a red card + penalty in the penalty area.

But after Zhang Desheng watched the replay afterwards, he could prove that the offside position was indeed dispensable, and it was normal for people not to give it home.

As for the penalty, he thought it would be nice not to give him a yellow card, because the dive was done by him, and the opposing defender just touched the strength and then he flew out as if he had been hit by a truck.

He felt that the game was eventually held to a draw by Bayer Leverkusen, and Mourinho had to take a little responsibility.

They faced Bayer Leverkusen's bus defence away from home and simply had no tactics to pick up points at crucial moments.

Jose Mourinho is the best at setting up buses, but his preparation is obviously limited when the opponent is on the bus.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this, after all, Porto has only been officially formed for one season, and it is rare to be able to train the defense so well now, how can there be time to take care of the attack?

So at this time, it can only rely on the individual ability of the star player.

Zhang Gongzi actually tried his best, the only goal scored by Porto today was scored by him, you can't expect him to score two or three goals in every game, right?

With that goal counted, the tally of goals in the entire Champions League was already 12, and it only took ten games.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was second in the scoring charts at the time, but he had only scored eight goals in 11 games, missing him by a quarter in terms of numbers and efficiency.

The biggest problem with not winning today was actually that Boshingwa was too impulsive for a foul in the box in the second half, which went straight to Bayer Leverkusen for a penalty.

This kid didn't actually make any mistakes in the game, and the defensive performance was quite OK, but this one mistake alone was enough to be fatal.

This also made Mourinho decide not to start in the Champions League for the time being, this kind of game really can't make such a fatal mistake!

Looking at the situation of this group at the moment, Mourinho is in a worse mood when he returns.

AC Milan beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home, so they have 7 points from 1 win, 4 draws, and 7 points from AC Milan's 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, but they are still in second place due to the win-loss relationship.

"Damn, we have to win the last game against Real Madrid!"

Zhang Desheng also knows that the current situation is delicate, if they and AC Milan win the last game, or both draw, then AC Milan will be eliminated in the end, because they have the advantage of winning and losing

But if they fail to win Real Madrid at home and AC Milan beat Bayer Leverkusen away from home, they will be eliminated unbeaten from their group.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are no longer resting on their laurels as they have the same goal difference in their games against AC Milan as well as away goals, which would be just two more overall goal difference than AC Milan.

That means that if they lose their last game to Porto, then there will be three teams tied on 10 points.

But the problem is that they will have a win-loss relationship with Porto at that time, and as long as they are evenly scored, they will definitely be behind Porto.

So as long as AC Milan can beat Bayer Leverkusen, it will be Real Madrid who will be eliminated in the end?
