"You won't really be eliminated in the end, will you?"

The Porto players couldn't help but think about the worst-case outcome for days, and even Mourinho's several mobilizations could not keep the players focused on preparing for the game.

This is not something that words can do, some people can burst out with more energy in this state, but some people will just get caught up in the game and even cower in the game.

Zhang Desheng is talking about the national football team, if the men's football team is in their situation, then you don't need to look at it to know that it must be glorious despite defeat.

But most of the Porto players are not so stretched, they will also have some gains and losses, but they will not be seriously affected by these emotions, let alone play timidly on the field.

"I don't think there's anything to say, have the best hope, do your best, and finally win and lose, that's it."

Before the 25th round of the league with Relia on the 15th, Zhang Desheng expressed his attitude towards the next match in front of the media.

He did use a brace to let Real Madrid, who are about to come to Porto, see his state, which is called scaring the other side first.

'He's a rare talent in history, but even a genius takes time to grow, and it takes a group of great team-mates, and we all know that he will go far in the Champions League, but this season, his journey ends here!'

After Bosque led the team to Porto, he launched a psychological war directly against Zhang Desheng.

"If a team has so many superstars in their hands and can still only play defensive counter-attack, I think it would be better to buy more midfielders and defenders, why use these players who can be selected in the best team in the World Cup to play such utilitarian football?"

Zhang Desheng is on a par with Bosque, because he is really afraid that after arriving at the away side, Bosque feels that the emperor is far away, and if he really makes a defensive lineup for them, it will be really disgusting to death.

But they can't decide this kind of thing, and they can't hope that Real Madrid's qualifying situation is better and they won't play seriously.

In the same way, they can't hope that AC Milan won't win.

It's going to fucking kick Leverkusen, and it's hard to believe they'll have enough motivation to keep resisting.

So if they want to qualify, they will have to take their fate into their own hands and be prepared to be eliminated if they don't win.

"Very good, it seems that they are really afraid of losing, this is not the first time they have slandered us for playing defensive counter-attack!" Bosque had a sinister and cunning look on his face at the pre-match press conference the day before the match. 'We all know that they have to get the three points to secure a place from the group or they will be overtaken by AC Milan in their last game. That's why they're so afraid of us playing defensively. But what I want to say is, if they're afraid of us playing defensive counter-attacks, why don't we play like that? Is it just because of a few words of agitation? ”

Zhang Desheng actually knew in his heart that Bosque should have made up his mind to continue to use defensive counterattacks against them, and no matter how much he squeezed, he couldn't dispel the decision made by a person who had made up his mind early.

Therefore, it is okay to say Bosque's words in the right way, or in reverse, and even put on defensive tactics without saying anything, Real Madrid fans will not really say anything.

It's true that they don't like to look at utilitarian defensive tactics, but as long as they can win consistently and play less ugly at home, Bosque will actually have a solid position in the manager's position.

The next day, after both teams got each other's starting line-ups an hour before the game, Mourinho and Zhang knew that the opposite side was really going to use defensive counter-attacks to force them to attack.

"Damn!"

Zhang Desheng certainly knows that this is the most suitable tactic to deal with them today, and Porto cannot accept a draw, so they must press out and attack.

In this way, Real Madrid, with the quality of the old guys' counter-attacks, can keep their butts exposed all the time without much effort, and maybe score a few counter-attacks.

But even if he knows this, he can't help it, he can't let the other party know that this is the best solution, but in the end he just runs to attack you, right?

So they can only give it a go and launch a strong attack from the beginning!

This also led Porto to directly sacrifice a rare 4-3-3 attacking lineup, which they will only use to abuse the underdogs in the league this season.

But today is facing Real Madrid, to be honest, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, including Zhang Desheng, who also thinks that using this kind of formation with low proficiency to do Real Madrid, most of them will be reversed, right?

However, when the players of the two teams officially appeared, the Porto players felt the cheers of the 60,000 home fans in the "Dorado Stadium", and most of the negative emotions in everyone's hearts were immediately driven away!

"Brothers, this is our home field, it doesn't matter if he is Real Madrid or Barcelona, whoever comes has to kneel and walk out!"

Zhang Desheng also tried to pretend to be a captain when everyone got together to cheer up before the official start of the game after everyone took photos.

"That's right, we haven't lost at home this season, and no one can beat us!"

Deco's words are very big, they can't just not lose, they have to win the game today.

This made Zhang Desheng want to roll his eyes at him, and complained in his heart: You also speak when people speak, but if you can't speak, don't talk nonsense!

At this time, the real captains of both sides have gone to the center circle to guess the coin, and the players of both teams have returned to their own half to stand for the final game of the second stage of the group stage.

On the broadcast signals of various countries, the starting lineups of the two teams were also hit on the screen at this time.

Real Madrid starters –

Frontcourt: Raul

Midfielders: McManaman, Guti (88, 1976, 183cm), Claude Makelle, Zinedine Zidane, Figo.

Back: Carlos, Elguera, Hierro, Salgado

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Porto starting line-up –

Frontcourt: Zhang Desheng, Jan Kauskas, Del Lai

Midfielders: Kostinia, Deco, Alenichev

Back: Bosingva, Costa, Carvalho, Ferreira

Goalkeeper: Baia

This is the starting lineup of the two teams today, Zhang Desheng actually saw Guti replace Ronaldo, who was a little uncomfortable in his knee, and knew that Deco should be completely out of drama today, because if Real Madrid's five-midfield lineup is defensive, it is equivalent to putting three backs.

Although Guti's defense is not as good as the offense, in order to get the opportunity to play in the past two years, he has also been forced to strengthen his defensive ability, so the Golden Wolves at this time can really play in the back.

Not to mention Zidane, who is the world's No. 1 midfielder from Juventus, as long as he is willing to play at the back, his defensive ability is still above Deco, who is known as the "offensive and defensive all-rounder".

So Deco doesn't need to look at it today to know that the combat power value must be in a state of pulling his hips all the way down.

There is no doubt about it, if he can still play in this situation, it will be the starting midfielder of the Brazilian team, and Ronaldo will have to play him as a substitute.

"TMD has to look at me!"

Zhang Desheng is not arrogant, he understands very well that today's winner and loser is him.

If he can put in the same highlight-reel performance as he did in the last game, then Porto have a good chance of beating Real Madrid.

But if he pulls his hips like he did in the second game against AC Milan, then Porto will be out of action.

Even Real Madrid knows this.

So Real Madrid's five midfielders today, there is actually one person who is very lagging behind, and this person is Claude Makelele.

Bosque prepared a colorful French feast for that nasty little bunny on the defensive end today.

He allowed Makelele to leave his rock-solid centre circle and was ready to help defenders flank Zhang Tak Victory.

As for the defense in midfield, it is enough for them to have Zidane and Guti as a pair, and Makellele's task today is to make that dead boy unable to speak!

"Strangle him for me!"

This is what Bosque secretly gave to Makelele alone in the locker room, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.

Makelle also carried out this order perfectly, and in less than a minute of the opening game, Zhang Desheng rolled on his knees.

The referee for today's game was Marcus Merck, a whistle who officiated at the European Championship and World Cup finals many times.

Merck ran over and gave a foul to Makelele, who was kicking him from behind, but didn't get his cards out.

He didn't even bother to look at Zhang Desheng, who was still rolling, and just signaled that Porto could serve.

"Okay!"

Zhang Desheng's victory was called a joy, and he kicked the ball directly to the side, which was a sneak attack!

"Hmph, I know you're pretending to be garlic!"

Makelele ran back without looking back, and the Real Madrid players were extremely well prepared to break Alenichev's attack off the touchline.

"Horse riders, everyone seems to know that I like diving, which is not very good!"

Zhang Desheng was very unhappy in his heart, he actually didn't like diving.

But the question is who made him react too fast, many times it is an instinctive reaction, and it is really uncomfortable not to fall!

Porto's side failed to attack, and immediately grabbed and delayed in the frontcourt organization, so as not to let the opponent have an easy chance to counterattack.

That's the point of winning today, they have to defend aggressively to keep Real Madrid out of a sneak attack, and it would be nice if they could break the ball up front.

As for physical strength, they will find a way to take the lead first, otherwise it will be up to others to play in the knockout round if they retain their physical strength.

Real Madrid players are naturally not afraid of Porto's pressing, Zidane and Guti's double back midfield, once the attack is launched, it can also be a double front midfield.

However, it was Carlos who eventually threatened this attack, with Porto's midfield three having much less control on the flanks.

Carlos inserted the attack and was notoriously sharp, and in the end, it was Ferreira's foul that allowed him to receive a yellow card to bring Carlos down.

Jose Mourinho's face was very nervous at this time, because it was also an important part of winning the game today.

They need to be more lenient so that their defensive action can be bigger, and then no matter how good the skills of the Real Madrid players are, they have to think about whether it is worth paying some price for a victory that does not matter to their own qualification.

"Toot!"

Merck blew the whistle, but he was also a little hesitant at this time, because the stakes were too great whether the yellow card came out or not.

He had never seen any scenes, so he naturally knew what Porto was having.

If it is a normal situation, then Porto, as a Portuguese Super League giant, is playing at home, he can properly take care of the emotions of the home fans, and this yellow card is also very reasonable.

But today's away team is the star-studded Real Madrid team, which has to be thought about by him.

The most important thing is whether he takes out the yellow card or not, which affects not only the trend of this game, but also has a direct relationship with another game that is being played at the same time.

AC Milan over there, their fate is likely to change because of this decision.

That's why this group stage will arrange such a top referee who can enforce the law in the World Cup finals, otherwise it will not be able to balance the interests of these three giants at all.

But at this time, even Merck, who has seen strong winds and waves, is not easy to make a final decision!
