Barcelona's early season schedule is not only dense, but they also face most of the biggest league opponents in La Liga.

Zhang Desheng has not been resting for a few days after returning from Asia, and he will go with the team to play Deportivo La Coruna away.

Real Madrid fans have begun to curse secretly, and their schedule at the beginning of the season is exactly the opposite of Barcelona's, with most of their opponents being La Liga underdogs.

This also puts them in first place on goal difference, but Real Madrid fans also know that their own team has not been able to maintain the lead in terms of points despite having such a dominant schedule, which is not at all commendable.

Catalan fans naturally hope to bite Real Madrid in the most difficult time, so that it will be much easier to overtake later.

But it was not easy to beat Super Laco away, and in the end, with Zhang Gongzi's brace, Barcelona played 3:3 with Deportivo La Coruna away from home, and finally retreated.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi, who scored a full ten league goals in six games, even his teammates began to feel terrified!

Barcelona finally got a five-day break, but they will have to travel to face Zhang Gongzi's old club, Porto, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League.

To be honest, he was a little apprehensive at this time, even though he knew that the Porto fans would most likely cheer for him and were unlikely to boo him, but he just couldn't control his crankiness before the game.

Well, he's really asking for trouble there.

Although Porto fans have mixed feelings for him, they will not boo him in public so extremely, because the Portuguese Super League just can't keep real stars.

If anyone leaves the Portuguese Super League is going to be booed, then the entire Portuguese star has to be booed, and no one is immune.

So the next day, when Zhang Gongzi walked out of the enemy's player tunnel, he and the fans at the scene had mixed feelings.

But the applause quickly spread to the audience, after all, Zhang Gongzi's unbeaten record of two consecutive seasons under Porto, and the only treble in the history of the Portuguese Super League, still left them with enough happy memories, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to do it for many years to come.

After Zhang Gongzi heard the applause and cheers of the fans at the scene, the hanging heart was completely put down.

He also deliberately circled the pitch before the game, holding his hands high and interacting with the Porto fans wearing his shirt everywhere.

Zhang Desheng's interactive method will naturally delay the normal progress of the game.

But at this time, no one will not open their eyes, whether it is the UEFA staff or the stadium staff, including the players of the two teams, they are all patiently watching Zhang Gongzi interact with the Porto fans on the sidelines.

At this time, many players on both sides looked at Zhang Desheng, who was still so loved by his old club, and their hearts were actually shocked, and they had envy and admiration for a while.

It's actually the glory that every player aspires to, but not many people in the whole of football can do it, but they can't count the number of people who have turned against each other.

After Zhang Desheng circled the field for a week, he received a commemorative jersey from Porto's old captain Costa.

This is still the number 9 he wore in Porto, but by the time the commemorative shirt was officially released, he had already moved to Barcelona.

After Zhang Desheng took the jersey, he naturally held it high!

The entire "Fire Dragon Stadium" instantly rose with a burst of cheers that broke through the sky, and for a while, even the players of the two teams who had already entered the stadium could feel that the ground seemed to shake slightly.

But no matter how touching the process of Zhang Gongzi's return is, everything should end here.

This commemorative jersey, which even Zhang won himself, couldn't be worn on him in the end.

After Zhang Desheng put the jersey back in his bag, he officially returned to the court to hug and greet his old teammates.

Of course, most of the Porto players at this time only joined after he left, and they are not really old teammates.

The starting lists of the two teams have been played on the big screen at the scene, and the first to appear is naturally the away team's Barcelona -

Front: Shevchenko (90, 1976, 183cm), Zhang Desheng (94, 1985, 183cm), Gyuli (87, 1976, 164cm)

Midfielders: Xavi (91, 1980, 170 cm), Vieira (90, 1976, 191 cm), Maniche (87, 1977, 173 cm).

Back: Van Bronckhorst (87, 1975, 177cm), Alvarez (88, 1979, 182cm), Puyol (89, 1978, 178cm), Belletti (87, 1976, 179cm)

Goalkeeper: Valdés (88, 1982, 183cm)

Barcelona have come up with the best 4-3-3 formation today, and it's clearly a more attack-oriented lineup.

Rijkaard do want to play attacking for attacking because he doesn't feel like they might be able to get the desired result on the road, but even if they concede a goal or two, they can certainly score more goals than Porto.

At this time, Porto's starting lineup was also played, and it really has nothing to do with the team two years ago-

Front: Oliveira (87, 1980, 183cm), Adebayo (84, 1984, 192cm)

Midfielders: Ribery (87, 1983, 170 cm), Arshavin (89, 1981, 172 cm), Essien (85, 1982, 178 cm), Kuyt (86, 1980, 174 cm).

Back: Yang Feng (74, 1985, 181 cm), Alves (83, 1981, 189 cm), Pepe (83, 1983, 187 cm), Bosingwa (85, 1982, 180 cm)

Goalkeeper: Kong Xiaochuan (83, 1984, 189cm)

This new Porto team is clearly a left-sided trident with Arshavin, Ribery and Oliveira.

They have already won 5, drawn 1 and lost 1 in the Portuguese Super League this season, and have also won 1 and drawn 1 in the Champions League group stage, with the draw coming away to Werder Bremen.

This speaks volumes about the quality of this new Porto, and Rijkaard was also very jealous of Arshavin and Ribery before the game.

But he paid more attention to Ribery, an ugly-looking, scar-faced wide raider with an amazing ability to blast vertically, which he felt was sharper than Iniesta.

Of course, in addition to freaks like Zhang Gongzi, no matter how strong a player is, there will be some shortcomings.

This Ribery's shortcoming lies in his average archery skills, his horizontal breakthrough is not as unsolvable as the vertical breakthrough, and he lacks the ability to solve problems alone.

However, it took only two minutes for Porto to close out the scoring after the game began.

And this goal was Ribery's forced burst on the left side, and Belletti couldn't keep up with the Frenchman's explosiveness at all, even though Maniche had withdrawn in advance to make up for the defense, he was still forced out by Ribery to send the ball to the penalty area.

But this time, Arshavin, who got the pass in the penalty area, was a bit too selfless, and he passed the ball to Adebayo in the small penalty area in one fell swoop, but the football was destroyed by Alvarez halfway, and then was pressed under Valdés like a hungry tiger.

Barcelona is also a big disaster, and if Arshavin shoots straight at goal, it's really hard to say what the result will be?

So in the deep fear, Barcelona's anger value also skyrocketed, and they had to let Porto taste it too!

But the Barcelona players, who think highly of themselves, soon find out that they are being pressed back by Porto?

This...... Didn't even attack it?

It was really embarrassing for Barcelona, with Vieira even being disowned by Arshavin and Essien.

But it was not Franck Franck Ribery who threatened Porto, but the dedicated Kuyt, with the Dutchman setting up a header from Bam Adebayor.

However, the Togolese Footballer was a little impatient at the end and failed to top the ball slightly over the crossbar.

But the Porto fans at the scene shouted even harder!

They didn't expect that the three-board axe that their team sacrificed after the opening game seemed to be much more powerful than expected?

"That's not good!"

Zhang Gongzi has already sensed that something is wrong, and Porto played too positively today!

These future stars who are at the peak of their bodies are obviously holding back their energy at this time to make a name for themselves in Barcelona.

This kind of thought, coupled with the energy that bursts out in this state, is not trivial!

He was right, just in the 7th minute of the first half, Essien followed up with a powerful long-range shot from 30 meters away, and almost made a miracle!

Essien's shot was so powerful that Valdés didn't react at all, but the ball was firmly pressed into the woodwork.

The Barcelona fans were terrified by the goal, but fortunately the football smashed into the chest of Puyol, who was standing on the route, and as a result, the Barcelona captain was smothered on the sidelines for treatment.

At this time, if you are more sensible, Barcelona should first shrink the formation, use the experience and numerical advantage to wear out the momentum of Porto first, and then find an opportunity to play a counterattack.

But Barcelona's players have been blown by the media all over the world for more than half a year, they are the new Champions League champions, the strongest team in Europe, and the big guy's heart has been too high.

At this time, coupled with the additional factors brought by Zhang Gongzi and his old club, in the end, Rijkaard and Barcelona players are unwilling to choose to avoid the striker, they just don't want to lose face.

You have a dismembered Porto, why can you keep me out of the way? You deserve it too!?

However, if Barcelona really go toe-to-toe with Porto in this form, it will be a bit untouchable, because this is not the style of play they are good at!

Of course, if Vieira and Shevchenko, including Djuli and Maniche, can be three or four years younger, then they can really fight hard.

But the problem is that they are all veterans in their 30s, and the opposite side is a young man in his early twenties, and his firepower is booming at this time.

At this time, you don't control the ball and control the rhythm, run over and fight the young people, which is really a bit of a head!

If it weren't for the fact that Porto's hairy boys were not fine enough, and the ability to attack the last was not very reliable, Barcelona would probably have been the first to score.

However, after squandering a lot of chances, Porto still broke into the box again through Arshavin's strong breakthrough ability.

This time the Tsar did not pass the ball again, and a powerful shot allowed Valdés, who was in excellent form, to make a world-class save.

But it was Oliveira who was the first to rush to the football spot, and the Brazilian striker, who was not scrapped by Chelsea last season, can be said to have changed his fortunes at Barcelona.

At this time, he cleverly rushed to the football landing point, and shot at the door of his old club, and the entire "Fire Dragon Stadium" exploded completely in the next second! ”

", this face-slapping old club's drama did appear, but it wasn't me?"

Zhang Desheng looked at Oliveira who was celebrating wildly in the midfield, and knew in his heart that he had to show more strength.

If he loses this game, then he will inevitably be ridiculed by the whole world!

But today he is actually not too lazy, in fact, he is more active, and there are not many scenes of walking.

At this time, the backwardness has little to do with him as a striker, because the problem is that their three midfielders can't compete with others.

"Made, Gyuli's form has started to decline this season, we have two first-class midfielders who are good in attack and defence, so we should play 4-4-2!"

Zhang Desheng doesn't have any opinion on the 4-3-3 formation, Macau also mainly plays 4-4-3, but this season's Barcelona should play double back to be awesome!

Of course, falling behind at the moment has nothing to do with the formation, it is purely unscientific in terms of play.

At this time, don't look at Xavi and Vieira's combat power is higher, but in terms of impact they are really not as good as the opposite side, but Barcelona is playing a sports battle with Porto at this time, so it will not be broken by others head-on.

Also, although Arshavin and Ribery are not famous at this time, one is a fierce man who can perform a big four at Arsenal at the end of his peak and break into the top ten of the Ballon d'Or; One is the French supergiant who is about to take off in the 06 World Cup, which is a big man who has the top ten battles of the Golden Ball Award from 06 to 13.

"Guys, let's shrink a bit, change the formation to 4-5-1 and then play at our own pace!"

Zhang Desheng saw that the head coach had not arranged for a long time, so he simply took the initiative to call his teammates to communicate when the game was restarted.

At this time, Porto's Dutch coach Adrianse did not adjust his tactics in time after the goal.

Or did he not give the team a clear signal about whether to continue attacking, or to stabilize the counter-attack of Barcelona, or to make other arrangements?

It didn't seem necessary because it was only the 25th minute of the first half.

But the problem is that Porto's players have a lot of potential and a lot of impact at this time, but the biggest problem is that they lack enough experience, especially in the big tournament.

This leaves them with little control over the real-time dynamics, and it's easy to not know what to do next once they're ahead or behind.

That's when they need the manager to give clear instructions in a timely manner, so that everyone can be on the same page and know how to play next.

Otherwise, you will be like Porto after taking the lead, and suddenly you don't know what to play next?

This is because everyone's reaction to excitement and ecstasy will be different, some people feel that they should accept it when they see it, and stabilize their hands first; But some people feel that they should take advantage of the victory and chase Barcelona down in one go!

However, after Zhang Gongzi spoke, Barcelona began to shrink the previous high defense, and took the initiative to release some space for Porto's players to have space to continue to attack.

But at the same time, they formed a denser defence in the low post, and once they got the ball back, they began to wear down the opponent's patience with possession.

The effect of this style of play is very significant, although the impact of the Porto players is strong, but the efficiency of the finishing is not high, once the stalemate in the final third is formed, it is a little struggling.

This is naturally not to blame them, one is young, the technology has not been polished enough delicately, and the new lineup is not enough to run-in; The other is that it is inevitable that you will be nervous in the face of Barcelona, and the final get-away and shooting will definitely be a little more impatient and rough!

So even if it's an attack, they rely on supplementary shots to complete the goal.

Barcelona now have a denser defence in the low post, which makes it easy for Porto to attack to rush in, but it is extremely difficult to create a dangerous shot and they have a hard time getting enough space to operate.

The result of this is that the breakthrough of the foreplay is very sharp, but at the last moment, it is impossible to shoot, it is difficult to get a suitable opportunity to hit the goal, and even if the shot is mostly barely shot, it is a wave shot!

But it's not just the inefficiency of finishing, as if someone wants to get the ball a little more in the final third, or if they want to continue to use the break to get better attacking opportunities, it comes with a high risk of being disconnected.

At this time, Barcelona's counter-attacking opportunity naturally came.

This is also where Barcelona really restrains the stunned, grinding and grinding a lot of times...... You're going to get less and less sharp about breaking through......

In the 41st minute of the first half, Arshavin's breakthrough in the crowd was too dangerous, although his fundamentals were good and his physical fitness was very strong, even if he was surrounded but still distributed the ball.

But this left Ribery in an even more dangerous scramble, and this time the Frenchman's breakthrough was unsuccessful.

Today, Ribery's vertical breakthrough on the side can even be compared with Zhang Gongzi, but his horizontal escape, especially the flashing and moving in a small area, is much worse than Zhang Gongzi.

Patrick Vieira stabbed the ball away from Xavi in the distance.

Xavi immediately sent the ball to the front court after receiving the ball, and then the Porto players were horrified to find that Zhang Gongzi still had someone with him, but Shevchenko didn't know when he had gotten rid of Alves.

"Oh no!"

Now everyone knows that they are going to suffer, although Zhang Gongzi's threat is the highest in the audience, but she can't treat Shevchenko as air!

However, at this time, it is too late to do anything.

Although Shevchenko is also old, he is not so old that he can't move!

This time, after receiving the pass, he launched a high-speed sprint along the left flank towards the Porto penalty area, and no one could stop him along the way.

The most terrifying thing is that Zhang Desheng has been dragging his speed to follow the ribs on the right side of the court, and he has always maintained a distance of two positions behind Shevchenko, obviously ready to complete the finish at any time.

This also made Porto's defense completely unsuccessful, and even chose to put the already small defensive strength on Zhang Desheng, and then let Kong Xiaochuan attack to deal with Shevchenko.

Zhang Gongzi was still when Kong Xiaochuan was about to rush to the penalty area line, and suddenly accelerated twice on the right side and began to sprint to the penalty area at high speed!

This was because the football had just passed from Shevchenko's feet a second before he picked up speed.

The Ukrainian used a straight pass to send the ball from Kong Xiaochuan's side to the penalty area in front.

At this time, it depends on whether Zhang Desheng can accelerate to get rid of everyone, and then rush to the penalty area to hit the ball into the empty goal?

But the answer to this question is almost printed in parentheses.

"Oh God! Zhang is too fast, right? ”

"Hell, he's so much faster than he was two years ago?"

"It's over!"

“……”

The Porto fans at the scene still felt that there was a glimmer of opportunity at first, because the most awesome thing about Zhang Gongzi in Porto back then was the ability to grasp the opportunity, and the ability to always send the ball into the opponent's door in an unexpected way when it seemed impossible.

But when it comes to explosiveness and sheer speed, he wasn't as fast as McCarthy at the time.

However, when they met again today, Zhang Desheng's visible explosion accelerated, and in an instant, he violently threw off the strength to eat milk, so that he could barely keep up with Pepe and Essin.

At this time, there is no need for any skills at all, Kong Xiaochuan, who attacked, turned around and chased after him, and the two fierce guys behind Zhang Gongzi could only look at it in despair.

At this time, as long as he rushes to the penalty area to catch up with the football and gently pushes it, the empty goal is a completely unguarded delivery girl!

"Zhang's speed is too fast!"

"He shot!"

"The ball is in!"

"Ah, this is our gate!"

“……”

The mental state of the on-site commentary was somewhat trance-like, but these words made the Porto fans on the scene fall into a daze.

What a familiar and yet unfamiliar scene!

They finally found that they still couldn't let go, because the memories were too unforgettable.

So looking at the goal after jumping high, the chic air half turned, the familiar open arms after landing, plus the sound that they will never forget - "siu"!

This shocking scene made Porto fans seem to see Zhang Desheng after the goal, wearing the Porto jersey that brought them supreme glory?

But in a trance, they finally saw the jersey on Zhang Desheng's body - it was no longer their color, and they would never go back to the past!
