"European Triple Crown Champion? Sporting Lisbon youngster issued a declaration to win the championship in advance!"
"A worthless triple crown! Sporting Lisbon is expected to win the UEFA Cup, Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Cup this season!"
"Four games, three championships, Sporting Lisbon welcomes the championship moment!"
"There is a successor to Beckham! Deng Kai, the hero of Manchester United's Triple Crown, will Schmeichel achieve another Triple Crown in the Portuguese Super League?"
"More than 30% of Portuguese Super League fans believe that Sporting Lisbon can win the Triple Crown. They have the Triple Crown gene!"
"The boy who helped Manchester United win the Triple Crown last year will become a Triple Crown winner this year! Maybe this is inheritance!"
"The red knife goes in, the green knife comes out! The Red Devils Manchester United and the Green and White Army Sporting Lisbon may pass on the Triple Crown honor!"
"What a great achievement! A young man doesn't know how expensive physical strength is. Sporting Lisbon parachuted into Europe and became the first Sanya King in Europe!"
"Sporting Lisbon's record against Porto is extremely inferior. In the past three years, they have had two draws and five losses. Why do you dare to claim the title?"
"Liverpool fans cried with laughter! If they want to become the European Triple Crown, Sporting Lisbon should win those two irrelevant championships first!"

"Deng Kai: The next game is at the Dragon Stadium, and Jardel will smash your own goal!"
Soon, May 14th will come.
Within ten days, Sporting Lisbon will face four games, against Porto (League), Porto (Portuguese Cup), Boavista (League), and Liverpool (UEFA Cup).
Three percent of fans across Europe believe that Sporting Lisbon will become the new European Triple Crown winner, of course, a minor Triple Crown winner.
The UEFA Cup is the second-order club cup competition under UEFA.
The Champions League is the strongest cup competition for European clubs.
But the UEFA Cup is still a very heavyweight event.
It is even more important than the Europa League in the later era when only the Champions League was considered.
Therefore, the Little Triple Crown is also a very important honor.
And what’s even rarer than the Triple Crown is that teams that win the UEFA Cup generally find it difficult to dominate the league and domestic cups, because they are obviously much weaker than the Champions League winners.
Therefore, Europe has currently produced the first treble champion of the five major leagues, Manchester United. Previously, there were three European treble champions outside the five major leagues: PSV Eindhoven, Ajax and Celtic.
But the European Little Triple Crown is still vacant and is waiting for its first owner.
However, this small treble is different from the treble (any three championships) that has become increasingly popular later. This refers specifically to the three championship honors of the UEFA Cup, the top domestic league, and the top domestic cup.
The Super Cup, Community Shield, Toyota Cup, Club World Cup and even the League Cup are not eligible to be counted.
The rosters of Porto and Sporting Lisbon made many people feel emotional.
Sporting Lisbon actually intends to compete with Porto for the league title.
They fielded their full lineup.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Drogba, Quaresma
Viana, Deng Kai
Matthäus, Pepe
Terry, Fonte, Barzagli
Schmeichel
Among them, Pepe has been in the team for some time.
He almost completely replaced Deschamps.
Many people think this is Sporting Lisbon's silent reward for Pepe's UEFA Cup kicking of De Boer.
Barcelona fans protested.
But Sporting Lisbon unilaterally stated that the protest was invalid. My players can arrange whatever they want!
…
As the whistle blows, the game officially begins.
The fans at the Dragon Stadium were so energetic that they sang the team song for twelve minutes to express their determination to win the championship.
They are the team that has won the most championships in the Portuguese Super League in the past ten years, and they are the well-deserved number one club in the Portuguese Super League!
But the fans stopped singing because...
In the twelfth minute, Deng Kai, who was holding the ball at least 32 meters away from the goal, suddenly hit an earth-shattering long-range shot.
The football hit the crossbar and bounced off, marking the first shot in the battle between the two armies!
The entire Dragon Stadium was so frightened that it trembled.
The Porto fans never sang a song again.
Because when a certain syllable is not guaranteed, Sporting Lisbon will have another threatening attack.
This will cause the singer's breath to get stuck, causing a gas problem, and he may have to go to the hospital.
Thirty-sixth minute of the first half.
Both sides attack each other.
This time it was Deng Kai who held the ball and faced Deco's pressing.
The two had not played against each other directly earlier in the game because they both had defensive experts to mark each other.
This is the first time they have played against each other.
Deng Kai shook Deco away easily with a fried meatball.
Deco's pressing was originally aimed at delaying time, so it didn't matter if he was passed.
But Deng Kai's movements were still so fast that Deco didn't waste any time.
Porto's right back and defensive midfielder had to cover up Deng Kai.
boom!
Deng Kai sent a through ball.
After receiving the ball, Ronaldo cut inside, suddenly increased his speed, and then turned around to defend his Porto right back.
boom!
After Ronaldo passed by, he found an opportunity in the penalty area and directly passed the ball across the ball.
Quaresma grabbed a shot... fell to the ground!
The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave the yellow dot package.
Now the entire officiating community attaches great importance to the enforcement of Sporting Lisbon.
After all, this is a young guy who dares to challenge Barcelona and UEFA and has just won.
Regarding their recent games, if there is even a slight discrepancy, it will become big news.
The black e force behind Gandur is strong, and even if such a big thing happens, he can still enforce the law at FIFA, but other normal referees are not so shameless.
Porto fans booed the penalty.
But the players still accepted the penalty relatively rationally.
Especially the fouling player, he knows that he is in the wrong.
The subsequent slow motion played on the big screen also proved that the referee's decision was correct.
Quaresma stood in front of the penalty spot and scored in one stroke, opening the scoring for Sporting Lisbon.
In the real-time Portuguese Super League standings, Sporting Lisbon overtook Porto by two points and once again topped the Portuguese Super League!
"Quaresma! Solid penalty! Sporting Lisbon is really going to win the championship!!!"
"This is a huge blow to Porto!"
"But Porto still has time. They still have more than 60 minutes to change the score."
After the restart, Porto launched a crazy offensive.
But it never threatened Sporting Lisbon's goal.
Until the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0.
Return in the second half.
Sporting Lisbon skillfully used large circle tactics to control the ball on their own side and did not give Porto a chance to bombard the ball indiscriminately.
