The news of Sporting Lisbon's huge victory over Kaiserslautern in the first leg of the European Cup quickly spread throughout Europe.
The new dark horse has killed the old dark horse, and each generation becomes more and more dark.
Deng Kai's performance in that game was remarkable, and he played an absolute core role in the midfield.
Many people paid attention to Deng Kai because of this.
Some of them support Deng Kai.
Some of them are here for inspection.
They wanted to see with their own eyes whether this Deng Kai was as good as Viana.
On March 19, the 26th round of the Portuguese Super League kicked off.
Triguera was very bold and used a full substitute lineup.
There are no main players or important rotation players.
The meaning is very simple, keep the European war and let the league play!
Many people don't understand this approach.
Maxa was one of them from the beginning. He believed that the team, as the second in the league, could definitely strive for the league championship and there was no reason to give up at this time.
On the contrary, the European war is more accidental, and careful preparation may not necessarily lead to good results.
Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand.
But Deng Kai expressed support for Trigla.
"The next round is Kaiserslautern's home stadium. Their home stadium has a great atmosphere. It is one of the birthplaces of miracles and anything can happen."
"Using the best condition and not giving the Germans any illusions will not only allow us to firmly enter the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but also prepare us for the next European war."
"Otherwise, if we really get into a fight, even if we win, we won't be able to continue."
"As for the league... Anyway, we still have a chance to face off against Porto directly, so even if the point difference is as big as three to five points, we still have a chance. We are not so anxious now."
After Deng Kai finished speaking, Maxa immediately applauded: "You are indeed far-sighted. Since you want to compete in the European war, you cannot aim at defeating Kaiserslautern. Kaisers has already set his sights on the results of the next round. He is far-sighted and very forward-looking.
worth to learn from!"
Deng Kai's face darkened. This sentence is not very auspicious for riding a horse.
Maxa noticed that Deng Kai was not very happy, and wondered in her mind what sentence she did not say correctly?
Could it be that the idiom "far-sighted" is used incorrectly?
Look old-fashioned?
Sure enough, the Chinese language is broad and profound, but I am still too shallow.
As a result, in the league, Sporting Lisbon, which had an all-substitute lineup, lost. Although their opponents in this round were not strong, they were struggling in the relegation zone, and their combat effectiveness was likely to explode.
At the very least, it is easy to cause casualties.
Sporting Lisbon made the right choice to avoid the limelight.
Fortunately, their direct competitor Porto was tenaciously equalized by their opponent, and the difference between the two sides came to three points.
Not the worst case scenario.
And on the other hand, Benfica and Boavista, who were behind Sporting Lisbon, met in this round. After a fierce battle, it was a draw.
This caused the two of them to miss the best period of chasing points, and the point difference from Sporting Lisbon came to seven and eight points.
They have basically withdrawn from the competition for the league title and Champions League qualification.
From a situational point of view, Triguera's operation cannot be said to be very good, at least it is a bonus.
But in the eyes of ordinary fans, especially fans of other teams, this operation is very retarded.
If we win the league, won't we be back on top?
If you miss this opportunity, maybe Sporting Lisbon will miss the final championship?
"Are Sporting Lisbon stupid? A team that is relegated is so easy to score points, but they use all the substitutes?"
"It's not easy for a relegated team to score points. Porto was also equalized, and the key point was that it injured a main midfielder. It's not certain what will happen next!"
"Oh, you Sporting Lisbon have lost, so don't say it's not necessarily the case."
"Speaking of which, Sporting Lisbon really cannot afford any more injuries. Especially Deng Kai, he can be said to be the sole leader now."
"Ah! Another Kefan fan? Why do you think he is the leading player? Do you think Mr. Ballon d'Or Matthäus is a vegetarian? Or do you think Deschamps is a bastard in the national team? These are top international players!"
"It's just that these Kei fans are really annoying. It doesn't matter if they touch Viana. Now they don't take the other midfielders of Sporting Lisbon seriously. I'm Deschamps. I have to give Kei a piece of shit.
!”
"Isn't Matthaus so arrogant at Bayern and the national team? Why don't you give Deng Kai some color?"
"We have lost in the league, and there are still people who are bragging about Deng Kai? I watched the league, and Deng Kai was invisible the whole time. He doesn't have the aura of Viana at all!"
"I'm really sorry for you, the Inter Milan fans upstairs, but please do some research before you slander me next time. Sporting Lisbon has all their substitutes in this round of the league. It would be weird if I Kai is not invisible, because he didn't play at all, okay?"
!”
"I can't stand it any longer. Inter Milan fans are worried. They don't have to worry about being eliminated in the Champions League group stage next year. Because there is a high probability that they will start playing directly from the UEFA Cup next year."
"It's a bit damaged upstairs. But it seems that Sporting Lisbon has a high possibility of playing in the Champions League next year. There are two places in the Portuguese Super League, and Sporting Lisbon is seven points ahead of Benfica, which is relatively stable."
"Not necessarily. It can also be seen from this round of league that Sporting Lisbon has invested a lot in the UEFA Cup. If they advance to the semi-finals, they will definitely have to fight hard. When the schedule conflicts, there is a high probability that they will be forced to
Give up the league."
"Yeah, don't forget that they have already reached the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup. If they really want to reach the finals, they won't be able to do it without fighting."
"If I were Sporting Lisbon, I would have let Moreirense pass in the last round of the Portuguese Cup. It would not only give face to the second team, but also get rid of a burden. Up to now, it would be a loss no matter where I was."
"No, am I saying that everyone is so heartless? Children only have to do multiple-choice questions, and adults can't have them all?"
"Hahaha, someone made me laugh upstairs. Want them all? A small treble? Do you think it is possible? How many years has it been since there has been a European treble in the Portuguese Super League? There are not many in the whole of Europe. The pressure of the schedule is not to say
Just kidding, those of you who don’t play football don’t understand how terrifying the physical crisis at the end of the season is.”
"I heard that the fans in Kaiserslautern have prepared a Devil's home-level atmosphere and want to help the home team make a comeback at home. After Sporting Lisbon passes, it will be enough to drink."
"The layout of Kaiserslautern against Viana in the last round was very good. As soon as Viana retreated, Deng Kai's style was completely different from Viana. It was equivalent to a surprise attack. Deng Kai performed well.
It’s also because there are few restrictions.”
"Rehagel has studied carefully for a week this time and must have come up with a plan to restrict Deng Kai. Sporting Lisbon may encounter huge trouble in this game!"
"Football counter-buying, the villa is close to the sea. Although the comparison is outrageous, the gap in strength between the two sides is actually not big. Rehagel strikes later. After Sporting Lisbon loses its midfielder, there is a high probability that it will be at the mercy of others. Both Klose and Djokaf
They are not the kind of strikers who waste opportunities. I believe they can counterattack, continue to write dark horse legends, and reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons!"
Fans bicker with each other and never see eye to eye.
On March 22, the entire Sporting Lisbon team flew to Germany and arrived in Kaiserslautern.
On March 23, the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals officially started.
Except for Viana's injury on Sporting Lisbon's side, there are almost no changes in the personnel of both sides.
