On 13 August 2003, Porto celebrated the first match of the new season, an annual football cup match of the Portuguese Super Cup, which was contested by the Portuguese Super League winners and the Portuguese Cup winners from the previous season.

Porto won both competitions last season, so the rules are to play last season's second place in the league.

As a result, Sporting Lisbon was caught by Porto and beaten up again!

Quaresma already wanted to transfer at this time, but the place he wanted to go to most was Porto, but of course he didn't dare to reveal this idea.

In the end, with Zhang Desheng's 1 pass and 1 shot, Porto defeated the old enemy Sporting Home Sbon 3:1 and won the cup championship that symbolized the official opening of the Portuguese Super League.

However, Porto from top to bottom do not care about this title, because they have long set their sights on the Champions League.

There is no shortage of domestic champions in Portugal at Porto, and whether they can win a second Champions League trophy will be the key to whether they can become the undisputed European giants.

This year's Champions League has had some changes to the format, mainly the stinking and long double group format that has been scrapped.

Now that the team has expanded to 32 participating teams, only one round of the group stage will be played, and the top two teams in each group will start the knockout round, but there are no other changes.

Porto were still divided into the third tier of the group due to the average results in previous seasons and only entered the second round of the group stage last season.

In the end, I don't know who was unlucky, anyway, Group D where Porto is located should be considered a complete group of death, because the other three teams are: Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Monaco.

But to be honest, these two seasons are not Porto unlucky to always be in the group of death, it should be that whichever group they go to, which group will immediately become the group of death.

Who made them a third-tier team, but they could reach the level of the first tier in terms of strength!

Bayern and Inter Milan have been called unlucky after the grouping is released, and it is really difficult for anyone to qualify now, and who of the three of them dares to say that they can win against the other two teams except Monaco?

"Damn, Monaco from the original plane is the runner-up!"

Zhang Desheng is the only one who knows that this is his mother, and it is the group of death, Monaco is not a rookie who allows mermaids to meat, this is a real dark horse!

However, this is also one of their strengths, because Porto will definitely not underestimate Monaco under his influence.

But the other two giants who thought they could do whatever they wanted in Monaco were going to plant a big heel on the French!

As long as this group loses the last game, the probability of qualifying will be greatly reduced.

After Porto defeated Sporting Lisbon, they won all four consecutive league games easily, and even if the main players were rested in the fourth round, Porto's substitute squad also played a strong 3:1 performance.

This is also the strongest aspect of Porto this season, they can really put together two sets of teams to compete for the Portuguese Super League title.

Zhang didn't play in the fourth round of the league, but he scored five goals in the first three games, which was a good start.

Now all eyes are on September 16th, because it will be a very memorable day.

This Champions League group stage of the new season will be the first appearance of Porto's "Dragon Stadium" after two and a half years of renovation!

The Stade de la Dragon, which took two and a half years and cost 100 million euros to build, is not a new stadium built from scratch, but a completely renovated stadium on the former home of the Porto team.

This refurbishment can be understood as a certain degree of reinforcement of the main frame, and then the interior and exterior are completely renovated to make it a new stadium that is modern enough.

But it is precisely because this stadium is not newly built and does not need to spend a lot of money to buy land, so it only cost 100 million euros to complete the renovation, you must know that Arsenal's Emirates Stadium cost more than 400 million pounds!

In addition, the final venue of this year's Champions League will also be held at the newly rated five-star stadium "Dragon Stadium", so it can be said that once Porto can reach the final, they will play on their home turf.

In the first game of this year's Champions League group stage, Porto is also playing at home, and their opponent is a giant team from the Bundesliga - Bayern Munich!

The current Bayern has not yet formed a situation of dominance in the future, and they are not the only Bundesliga hegemon who will be quickly cut down as long as a certain Bundesliga team has signs of rising.

Coupled with the fact that this Bayern team is about to enter a rebuilding period, Porto who will feel that they are awesome not only have the confidence to do him at home, but also do not want to take only one point even if they go away.

This can be seen from the pre-match verbal battle between the two teams, Mourinho and Zhang Desheng both expressed absolute self-confidence in winning.

"Bayern should be honoured to have the opportunity to be the first team to walk out of the Dragon Stadium with a win, when I was probably 17 years old!"

At the press conference the day before the competition, the 18-year-old Zhang Desheng directly said something that was not very auspicious, but it also showed how strong his self-confidence is.

Of course, this is a strategic contempt for the adversary.

They don't really treat Bayern as a rookie, and there is no one in this group who is a real rookie.

Jose Mourinho has also spent a lot of time preparing for the game, and this season he has spent a little time preparing for Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and has not studied the other Portuguese league teams much, with Porto's entire coaching staff spending most of their energy on studying their opponents in the Champions League.

"Don't look at Bayern's huge momentum in the Bundesliga, I have played against them, they can't play foreign wars at all!"

Edgar Davis is pretending to be big brother again, and his pre-match remarks are of course pure nonsense.

Besides, his record against Bayern is only five or five percent, why can't Bayern?

But that doesn't stop everyone from being willing to listen to this guy's bragging, even though no one really takes his words seriously.

Davies has been quite happy with Porto during this time, at least on the surface, and he himself said to the outside world after joining: I will fight for Porto with all my heart.

However, Porto's core is really easy to get along with, Deco is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, Zhang Desheng and Carvalho are not broken mouths, and all three have welcomed him.

So the role of chatter was taken by Davis, and he mentioned his glory days in front of everyone, belittled the giants who had played against him, and taught young players how to deal with those big scenes by the way.

But whether he is really as happy as he seems, this Zhang Desheng is too lazy to care.

As long as the opponent gives his best in the Champions League, he doesn't have to play too badly, as long as he can play at the level of 80% of Makelele last season, then he is very satisfied.

Jose Mourinho is in the same vein, and he is still a little hesitant to start today, as he feels that Kuyt is a little better than expected, and he is starting to gravitate towards starting the young Dutchman.

But out of an abundance of caution, he fielded a more consistent lineup today.

So an hour before the start of the game, the starting list of Porto that Bayern got was like this-

Frontcourt: Jan Kauskars (85,191cm), Zhang Desheng (84,183cm)

Midfielders: Maniche (87,173 cm), Deco (90,176 cm), Edgar Davies (88,169 cm), Nuno Capjo (85,183 cm).

Back: Bosingwa (84,180 cm), Costa (84,188 cm), Carvalho (88,182 cm), Ferreira (87,181 cm)

Goalkeeper: Baia (84,184cm)

Many of Porto's main players this season have improved a little from last season, and Deco's breakthrough through the 9 series is very crucial, which means that after two seasons of abuse by various masters, he finally has the ability to equal the real top players.

If you use Zhang Desheng's analogy, then Deke at this time is Qiu Qianren, who has practiced the iron sand palm to the level of Dacheng, although most of the first-class masters who go to participate in the Huashan Sword Discussion are still at the bottom, but at least they are qualified to participate in the Huashan Sword Discussion.

This is a very big improvement, because there will not be more than 20 active players with this qualification, after all, those who have participated in the sword debate are not at the peak of their form every year.

This season, Vieri, Veron, Keane and others quietly fell to 89, which means that they lost the qualification to participate in the sword.

But there are also people who have just broken through the 9 series, such as Deco in Porto, such as Ballack in Bayern.

Porto also got Bayern's starting lineup an hour before the game, and Zhang Desheng's side is still slightly stronger than them in terms of comprehensive combat power from the system, mainly because his forward line has pulled his hips on paper.

Bayern starters –

Frontcourt: Mackay (88,188cm), Pizarro (87,184cm)

Midfielders: Salihamidzic (88,180 cm), Ballack (90,189 cm), Jeremes (85,176 cm), Hargreaves (86, 1981, 181 cm).

Backcourt: Lizarazu (84,169 cm), Link (84,182 cm), Sagnor (87,184 cm), Kufuor (85,178 cm)

Goalkeeper: Kahn (87,188 cm)

Porto's forward line is not as good-looking as Bayern, mainly because his No. 9 is too stretched!

But it doesn't matter, of course this kind of game has to draw the sword and start big.

Since Zhang Desheng saw the three opponents in this group, he decided to draw his sword in every game, otherwise the slightest mistake could lead to last season's situation.

He didn't want to encounter that embarrassing situation of being undefeated again.

But after drawing the sword, it is not immediately a sharp increase in combat power, but it takes an hour to slowly improve.

So when the players of the two teams appeared in the new state of the "Dragon Stadium", his combat power finally increased to 88!

It was a bit of a disappointment for him, because the last draw last time last season he was able to increase his power to 87, when he went from 82 to 87.

But now, after half a year of improvement, he even has a regular combat power of 84, but after drawing his sword, it is a little higher than last season.

However, he can also guess why this is the case, just like in RPGs, the higher the level, the more experience you need to advance to the next level.

If he converts "combat power" into "experience", it is like the experience required for De to rise from 89 to 90, and it is likely that he has more experience to rise from 80 to 89.

Therefore, it took Deco two full seasons to break through, because the gap between 90 and 89 combat power is not what it seems, but can be completely suppressed.

Even, 91 combat power against 90 combat power, the gap between the two sides will not be too small.

Of course, there are always geniuses who can fight across borders!

Zhang Gongzi is such a monster who is invincible in the same realm, can cross the border without falling behind, and can even fight back!

"The course is okay, although there are fewer seats, more than 50,000 seats are barely enough, and it looks modern after the overhaul, and the quality of the turf is much better!"

Zhang Desheng looked relaxed at this time, and when Carvalho ran to guess the coin, he even jumped around the center circle and did broadcast gymnastics!

This is a fool for the Chinese fans who are staying up late to watch the game, they are all too familiar with this set of gymnastics.

Zhang Gongzi actually went to the Champions League to do this in front of the whole world, which made them both embarrassed and proud, but more cordial!

And this cordiality is exactly the kind of emotion that Zhang Desheng hopes to shape in the minds of the majority of Chinese fans.

But he didn't know that the Chinese fans who would be too kind to him were already too kind, because in the advertisements just a few minutes ago, the Chinese fans had been brainwashed by him continuously, who made the CCTV advertisements during the game basically handled by Zhang Gongzi himself.

A few minutes ago, Chinese audiences had just recovered from the sinister smile of Mr. Zhang's golden-throated treasure, and the ad was so silly.

But then there is Zhang Gongzi's brainwashing line of "Shenzhou line, I see it"!

This thing was not only broadcast in large quantities during the competition, but has been basically fully covered from CCTV to local stations.

This is not over, in a blink of an eye, I saw Zhang Desheng's handsome sneaker advertisement, with the sentence "Don't be the next one, only be the first me", finally redeemed his image.

But the subsequent advertisement was that Zhang Gongzi appeared, and I saw him holding a bottle of non-Coke and non-Pepsi Coke, and directly came to the classic line of "employment is biased towards foreign companies - very Coke".

In the end, without waiting for the majority of the audience to react, Zhang Gongzi slapped himself in the face, because his next advertisement is not domestic, but a brand of small days, although the advertising process is to shoot his unique "elevator ball", but the lines are very ambiguous - XX elevator, up and down enjoyment!

At this time, as soon as the screen turned, everyone saw Zhang Gongzi doing radio gymnastics there, which was really enjoyable!

Zhang Desheng didn't know that he was dominating the screen on CCTV, and after the opening, he continued to press in the front court, ready to give the opponent some intensity as planned.

Bayern can only react passively, they don't dare to attack at the home of Porto, but are ready to stabilize their hands first and play a counterattack to see the depth of Porto.

But I didn't expect Porto's defense to be so active, and Zhang Desheng's frontcourt pressure was very strong, but it was Davis's wild boar that was rushing around.

If Makelele is a dungeon, he covers a large circle with himself as the center, turning it into a forbidden area for his opponents.

Then Davis just doesn't tell you so much at all, as long as he feels that there is a threat to his family on the other side, he will go up and do it like a flat brother.

So Claude Makelele, a midfielder with better defensive awareness, more skilled defensive skills, and more able to serve the team's overall defense, will definitely be welcomed by all teams, and he really is that rare piece of the championship puzzle.

Davis is an active destructive type of defense, and his defense is undoubtedly more hateful on the other side, but at the same time, it also has a certain impact on his own defense.

So for the kind of head coach who pays special attention to overall defense, he has a bit of a taste of killing a thousand enemies and losing two or three hundred of himself.

Mourinho also doesn't like this less controlled style in his heart, because his defense also emphasizes three-dimensional flanking and overall forward pressing, as well as multi-layered defensive handovers and local absolute defensive superiority.

However, this wild boar can't control his temperament, and it is difficult to form a consistent attack and defense with his teammates!

What he's best at is the kind of guy you give him a task, and then just open the gates and let the dog go crazy bite.

But it's not good not to use him, because this product's active defensive ability, or active destruction ability, is too strong.

Ballack was desperate to find someone to kill this Davis right now, and he felt like he was being harassed by a madman jumping up and down all the time, so that he simply didn't have enough space to get the ball.

Davis is not only a mad dog defense, his rich experience has also accumulated countless small tricks and small moves that annoy opponents, coupled with super fast feet and top-level explosiveness, Maradona has to be hard to get out of when he encounters it.

So Ballack, a top master who has broken through to the 9th series, was made difficult to organize and break through with the ball by a grumpy flat-headed brother today, and it was a bit difficult to even connect the ball.

Davis's wealth of experience is very helpful in judging the path of the ball and defending one-on-one after the opponent has the ball.

The most important thing is that he is a little restrained by Ballack, don't look at his height is only 169cm, but that also means that his speed of kicking is much faster than that of the opponent, even if he is chased by the breakaway, it is also amazingly fast.

Ballack will not be able to play directly on the offense without the ball, and that's when his body will turn into an advantage.

But if he wants to play in the front midfield to break through and organize, then it will be difficult for him to play under Davis's entanglement, and even easily concede the ball.

However, if Ballack is closer to the penalty area, Bayern's control in midfield will be basically GG.

Porto did quickly grab control of the midfield, because Bayern's beast Jerry Mas has already slipped seriously, and now he can only be regarded as a low-profile version of Gattuso.

Deco won't be as embarrassed against Gattuso now as he was last season, let alone against a low-profile version of Jeremes.

Therefore, he really abused the opponent's midfield today, not only snatching control of the midfield for the team, but also sending a few exquisite passes in the first 15 minutes, and his own breakthrough also put a lot of pressure on Bayern's defense.

"It's not easy, you're finally at your peak!"

Zhang Desheng finally tasted the taste of a top teammate today, and now his own team-mate has a firm grip on the midfield, and he is constantly feeding shells to him, coupled with the fact that Jankauskas has become more and more tacit with him, he has actually wasted a few chances.

But in the 18th minute of the first half, Zhang Desheng shook Kufuor away with a very hidden run, and an equally hidden pass from Deco was sent to the back of the Bayern defence in time.

At this time, I saw that Zhang Gongzi was obviously faster than last season's turn, and the explosiveness of the first few steps was also better, and he completely got rid of Bayern's entire back line in just a few steps after seizing the opportunity, and formed a single knife in the blink of an eye.

Karn roared and took the initiative to attack outside the penalty area in advance!

Zhang Desheng rushed to the outside of the penalty area and looked at the German goalkeeper with a meaty face, and after a feint, he directly accelerated and changed direction to pass the opponent.

But it also cost him the best timing and angle to shoot, and the Bayern defender was already rushing into the six-yard box ready to block his shot at any moment.

However, he was not greedy to score by himself, and then continued to burst out of the small penalty area on the right side, and made a horizontal pass to make an arc of the ball, not only bypassing the flying interceptions of the Bayern defenders who rushed to the goal, but also accurately passing the ball to Maniche who was outflanked in place on the weak side.

Maniche, who also ushered in the peak this year, naturally did not miss this kind of pie delivered to his mouth, and easily kicked the ball into the empty goal after being outflanked in place!

"That's the right taste!"

Zhang Desheng immediately stepped forward to celebrate with his teammates after giving the assist, and he was finally satisfied with Deco's performance, which was the main midfielder in the Barcelona Dream II period.

Bayern's morale did not drop much after conceding the goal, and the famous coach Heathfield reacted faster than Mourinho expected, and the opponent saw that the attack in the middle was completely suppressed, and soon began to signal the "angel wings" on the side to attack.

Salihamidzic is also at the peak of his season, and his explosive power combined with skilful dribbling has put a lot of pressure on Ferreira.

However, Ferreira will also be at the peak, no matter how passive the defense is, he can also defend the penalty area, not allowing Salihamidzic to successfully cut inside, and he can rely on crosses from the side to penetrate their defense.

Then, in the 28th minute of the first half, Bayern equalized through Salihamidzic's low cross.

This goal was fiercely restrained by Davies in the midfield, but after coming to the penalty area, Ballack, who restrained Davies fiercely, finally rushed to the penalty area and completed the goal with a follow-up header.

Davis was also speechless, his height disadvantage could not be changed, and this time Barak's insertion was timely and accurate, and it was very impactful!

Costa had made up for it in time, but was still topped by the tall and strong Ballack.

Porto were also not demoralized by a quick equaliser, and they launched a more aggressive attack after the restart!

It's not Mourinho's style of play, but there's no reason why they controlled the midfield and didn't step up their attack.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Deco suddenly got rid of Jeremes with the ball and burst into the box with a high-quality long-range shot, forcing a world-class save from the somewhat aged Kahn.

Just 3 minutes after this attack, Zhang Desheng used his quick turn to insert the anti-offside position successfully, but in the face of Kahn, who attacked in time, he shot through the small goal with a somewhat big kick, but was subconsciously blocked by Kahn, who was still able to eat several bowls.

Zhang Desheng just felt a little pity, he underestimated the reaction speed of the old lion king.

But this ball made old Karn very hot!

The young man of today is simply so impolite, do you really think that he is too old to even guard the small door?

Next, Kahn's power quietly exploded to 90, and he saved a dangerous shot from Zhang Desheng and Capjo in front of goal.

However, when a goalkeeper is always in danger, it often means that the team is at a disadvantage.

Bayern is indeed a little unbearable at this time, not only can they not guard against Deco, Davies also has a certain offensive ability, which is also the difference between him and Makellele.

At this time, Bayern, who had passively retreated, could only rely on tenacious defense, especially Kahn's continued play in front of goal, hoping to survive the first half.

They did show tenacity, holding out until the end of normal time in the first half, when Porto failed to find the back of the net against Bayern after a series of attacks, at which point the referee only gave two minutes of first-half stoppage time.

At the moment, Porto is still besieging Bayern, but the latter has actually defended this attack.

Jankauskas' shot was again brilliantly blocked by Kahn, and Lizarazu's clearance was out of position, but he also kicked the ball out of the box.

At this time, Bosingwa, who was inserted, got the football and immediately passed it to Deco, who pulled out of the penalty area.

Deco could only pass back in the face of the press, and Davies, who was back behind, saw Zhang Desheng pull from the right side of the penalty area to a position close to the side, and immediately passed the ball.

Ballack had already turned into a defender at this time, and he personally rushed out to defend Zhang Desheng in this ball.

Having said that, this guy can really play in any position, and today he will move to where he needs to be in an emergency.

During this time, Bayern was shaky, but it just held on, and it was not unrelated to this guy's tireless firefighting everywhere.

It made him suddenly think how could Barak look a little better than his own?

Zhang Desheng's character who always thinks that other people's daughters-in-law are good-looking is not good, and the time for Barak to defend this ball is a little slower, so he just rushed to Zhang Desheng two steps in front of him and stopped.

He was also worried that the Chinese genius would suddenly burst out and pass him, and their two defenders were not less than the air of this little guy in the first half.

But Ballack could never have imagined that he would be so cautious, and this ball could still be played with.

Zhang Desheng faced the pass of his teammates at this time, and unloaded the ball with a normal calf stopping motion.

Barak didn't feel anything unusual at first, until the football bounced past him, and then he hurriedly stretched out his long legs to destroy the football.

"The ball didn't stop?"

Such a thought instantly rose in Barak's heart, but the next moment he saw that the unstopped football had not yet landed in the air, and Zhang Desheng hooked the ball back in reverse with a movement that seemed to be a bull's tail, he already had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.

But Zhang Desheng's performance continued, and after Barak was shaken by him with an aerial version of the ox's tail, the center of gravity of his body could still be maintained, and he even stepped forward and continued to raise his leg to grab the football that had not yet landed.

At this time, Zhang Desheng had already hooked the ball from the air to the left with his right leg, and then saw that he quickly raised his left leg, and actually changed his other foot in the face of Balak's pressing, and quickly made an identical aerial bulltail pass.

This Barack really can't imagine that there is such a fairy operation in the world, a bulltail in the air is perverted enough, and this can still play the second one in a row?

He was shaken continuously, and then the center of gravity of his body finally became unstable.

But the most outrageous thing is that the ball still hasn't landed, and Zhang Desheng's reaction at this time is also inhuman.

He took advantage of Barak's two consecutive aerial oxtails to make a moment of hard work, and immediately changed his foot to poke the ball from his crotch, and the person quickly passed by Barak's side.

At this time, Barak also wanted to turn around and chase the defense as quickly as possible, but the already unstable center of gravity was completely out of control under this force, and the whole person slipped in the process of turning, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Wangdefa?"

"Oh my God, my eyes are spent, what just happened?"

"Hell yes, what did that Chinese do?"

"Stunts! This must be a stunt! Can't fool me! ”

"Awesome, is this our youngest Champions League Golden Boot?"

"God, this is definitely an action that Maradona can't do! How did he do it? ”

“……”

At the moment when Barak was shaken down by two consecutive aerial oxtail + crotch piercing, Zhang Desheng was still there with the ball and continued to make a horizontal breakthrough.

But in the eyes of fans all over the world, he is the only one who is incredible, and he is like a fairy!

Who cares if he can score next!

That stupid director, hurry up and give me this ball to play back and play it back!
