Chapter 493 The Chinese team celebrating the championship
But when you think about Kai Shao having stated frankly that he will strive for the Champions League with all his strength, can this Triple Crown winner also be called out?
If you lose, you lose. There is no shame in losing to Manchester United, Real Madrid, or Bayern.
But if you win, it will be really legendary.
In the history of football, no team has ever won the Triple Crown for two consecutive years, including the Minor Triple Crown and the Cup Triple Crown.
Um, that seems unlucky to say?
In short, Sporting Lisbon seems to be creating miracles all the time!
So why not this year?
Yes, it’s this season!
Four Ass Roots!
April 21, the 32nd round of the Portuguese Super League.
Sporting Lisbon vs. Setubal.
This game caused some controversy before the game.
Because Sporting Lisbon almost played the entire substitute lineup, except for goalkeeper Reina.
Even, because the team lacked substitute players, they also transferred many youth training players from the youth training team to deal with the problem.
This is not incomprehensible.
After all, the Champions League semi-final between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United will kick off in three days.
With a six-point advantage, Sporting Lisbon can afford to lose.
But the one who has an opinion is the Portuguese Super League Association.
Because theoretically, under extreme circumstances in this game, it is possible for Sporting Lisbon to end the competition with Porto this season and directly win the Portuguese Super League championship!
If Benfica next door beat Porto.
In this round of the league, Benfica and Porto ushered in their third meeting this season.
Including the last Portuguese Cup semi-final.
Benfica has always been a loser.
But... whenever there is a chance, the leaders of the Portuguese Super League will take the championship trophy to the Alvalade Stadium.
Isn’t this the old money harming the people?
If Sporting Lisbon with all substitutes loses to Setubal, then everyone's round will be in vain.
This includes the media as well.
Therefore, some people criticized Sporting Lisbon through the media for not paying attention to the league.
There is no overall perspective at all.
As a result, Sporting Lisbon ushered in a lineup with the youngest average age in history.
Although there are also veterans Joao Pinto and Paulo Bento in the team, the former's level is not even low. However, there are also a group of youth training players in the team who are generally registered in the age range of 17, 18, and 19.
In the third minute of the game, Hao Junmin sent an assist and Yu Shihao scored with a single goal, giving the team the lead for a time.
But Setubal scored in the 32nd minute of the first half and the 60th minute of the second half.
In the last minute of regular time, Hao Junmin took a corner kick. Shao Jiawei hit the crossbar with his header and then Chen Tao swept the goal.
Two to two, Sporting Lisbon tied with Setubal.
Two minutes later, the full-time whistle sounded.
Almost at the same time, cheers came from the stadium next door.
Benfica, who have no hope of winning this season, narrowly defeated Porto 4-3.
The Portuguese Super League champion...is born!
Sporting Lisbon defends Portuguese Super League title successfully!
The Portuguese Super League officials were all thankful that even though they were reluctant to come, they finally came.
No, this is just in time for the championship ceremony.
I can speak on camera and give awards to players again.
This is the face of the card.
Sporting Lisbon's main players in private uniforms in the stands rushed onto the court to celebrate with their teammates.
Deng Kai even pushed Ronaldo away and pulled Wu Xudong, Shao Jiawei, Yu Shihao, Chen Tao, and Hao Junmin to take a group photo.
Ronaldo was very dissatisfied with this: "What do you mean? Why did you push me away."
Deng Kai smiled: "It's not interesting. The Chinese team took a photo with their families. Please give way to our Portuguese friends."
Ronaldo was speechless.
Thus, in the European competition, a photo with the highest amount of Chinese content was born.
The reporter also interviewed the Chinese young players in this game.
Reporter: "Chen Tao, you scored a very important goal for Sporting Lisbon this season. What supported you to score that goal!"
Chen Tao scratched his head: "The main thing is that I don't want to put more burden on Brother Kai. If the league ends early, the team can devote itself to the Champions League semi-finals."
"As a member of Sporting Lisbon, even though I am only a youth training player, I also hope to contribute to the team and help Kaiguo solve his problems."
Reporter: "The information we found about you was that it was Chen Tao from Shenyang Jinde Football Club. Are you brothers?"
Chen Tao: "No, no, no, we don't know him. My name is very common in China. There are more than 100,000 people with this name in our country."
"And I mainly play defensive midfielder and central defender. The Chen Tao you mentioned is an offensive midfielder and a national youth team player. In terms of status, he is better than me."
Reporter: "Yu Shihao, you scored the first goal today. How do you feel?"
Yu Shihao: "It's great. I hope my family can see this game. They will be happy."
Reporter: "Hao Junmin, your performance today reminds me of Ronaldinho."
Hao Junmin: "Thank you for your compliment. There is still a big gap between me and Ronaldinho, but I hope to use my efforts to make this gap smaller."
Reporter: "Shao Jiawei, your defense is great. Some fans think you should replace Fonte."
Shao Jiawei: "The group leader is actually very capable, but he was distracted by some off-site matters."
Reporter: "Group leader? Is this the nickname given to him by Chinese fans? Is it the group of outstanding people? Or the group of Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Mountain?"
Shao Jiawei: "It is the group of 'Deng Kai Global Fans Support Association Management Group'."
Reporter: "Wu Xudong, you and Deng Kai are resting together, which means you have entered Sporting Lisbon's main rotation. Congratulations, then we look forward to your performance in this summer's World Cup."
One by one, the expressions of all the Chinese players present changed.
Including Deng Kai.
Because... Wu Xudong cannot be recruited by the Chinese team.
At least there are no related rumors at the moment.
In the future, there should be no similar rumors.
Jiang Yunzhu has a very reliable source of information.
Wu Xudong smiled awkwardly: "I hope, but the possibility... is relatively slim."
In fact, as the season is coming to an end.
Many national teams already have first drafts.
Some people even announced a roster of more than 50 people, hoping to stimulate the status of some marginal players and obtain some surprises.
Of course, there are also some national teams that will not announce their rosters prematurely in order not to affect the players' status in leagues, cups, and European competitions.
But in short, there will definitely be private contact in advance, etc.
Such as Ronaldo.
The Brazilian national team has already greeted him and begged him not to get hurt.
Ronaldo also restrained himself a little in the league because of this.
