Football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Chapter 407 Champions League grouping, Portuguese Super Cup

Deng Kai twirled his fingers: "If Ronaldinho replaced Quaresma, then many people also think that Kaka replaced Wiana, but it is not."

"Viana is essentially Quaresma in the middle of the midfield. They are rotor-type players. Their horizontal dribbling and circling breakthrough capabilities are much stronger than vertical dribbling. This is a soft breakthrough."

"Part of the reason is that their absolute speed is not fast enough. Ronaldinho is also this type of player. Although Ronaldinho's absolute speed is not slow, he will be ashamed to use his speed."

"And Ronaldo is a typical vertical breakthrough player, a quick word, simple but incomprehensible."

Guardiola drew inferences from one instance: "The rotor and the rotor cooperate, and the rhythm is delayed a bit. The speed dog cooperates with the speed dog, and the space is invaded by each other, and the defense is completely empty."

"So a rotor with a speed dog is the most suitable."

Deng Kai looked at Guardiola: "It can be seen that you have some complaints about speed players. If you can't get up fast, do you dislike fast players?"

Guardiola smiled awkwardly: "But Kaka, isn't he a speed player? He's not a Brazilian player. He plays like Samba, but his dribbling skills are far inferior to Ronaldinho's, like a low-level rotor. "

Deng Kai looked at Kaka who was practicing on the training ground outside and said, "That's because he's still pretending."

Guardiola: "Pretend?"

Deng Kai: "Well, pretend! Pretend to be a traditional Brazilian player, pretend to be what everyone imagines a Brazilian player should look like! He doesn't know how he should play."

"but I know!"

……

In August, with the emergence of this year's Champions League group stage, fans can once again imagine the highest honor of European football clubs.

The luck of Sporting Lisbon can be said to be quite bad.

They were assigned to the group of death!

The least-known team in this group is Galatasaray, the absolute giants of the Turkish Super League.

According to the European League rankings released by UEFA, the Turkish Super League ranks No. 11, which is not a strong league.Compared with the sixth in Europe in the Portuguese Super League, it is a lot worse.

But if you underestimate this team because of this, it's a big mistake.

If the most impressive triple crown in recent years is the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup triple crown won by Manchester United in the 1998-1999 season.

Then the UEFA Cup, Portuguese Super League, and Portuguese Cup that Sporting Lisbon won in the past 2000-2001 season are the most unexpected triple crowns.

And in between, actually... there is a Triple Crown.

In the 1999-2000 season, Galatasaray also won the UEFA Cup, the Turkish Super League and the domestic cup champion, the small triple crown!

From their point of view, they are a strong team not inferior to Sporting Lisbon!
Last year, although they only won one championship, they shocked people no less than the Triple Crown season.

They were the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League!
They even defeated the then Champions League champion Real Madrid to win the European Super Cup before the start of the season!
So this is definitely a standard strong team, even more difficult to deal with than the five major league teams.

Of course, this is just the easiest opponent Sporting Lisbon has encountered in this group.

The second strong enemy is PSV Eindhoven, one of the Big Three in the Eredivisie.

And it was the most popular giant in the past two years.

They have won the Dutch League Championship for two consecutive years, which is slightly stronger than Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League.

They have very rich experience in the Champions League. The team's defensive expert "Mark Van Bommel" and the Ruud van Nistelrooy's successor "Matia Kezhiman" just introduced this year are very strong players.

The latter is said to have completed a hat-trick and conquered his teammates in the first training match when he joined the club.

So far, these two teams are stronger than Sporting Lisbon, after all, Sporting Lisbon has been away from the Champions League for too long.

If this is not hopeless, then the last team is really hopeless.

At least Ronaldo is desperate.

Remember what Ronaldo said in the transfer window?

He thinks Lazio are a super team.

So now, this superteam is on his list of opponents.

The team with the overwhelming probability of appearing in this group is this Serie A blue eagle, Lazio!
The death group is for Sporting Lisbon, Galatasaray, PSV Eindhoven.

In the case of similar strength, the latter three can only compete for one qualifying place, which is quite cruel!

Mendieta, Crespo, Inzaghi Jr., Salas, Simeone, Poboski, Stankovic, Stam, Nesta, Mihajlovic, Peruzzi... Such a luxurious lineup, this is completely a super lineup to win the Serie A champion, the Champions League champion, and the Coppa Italia champion!

It will surprise no one if the skies in Europe turn blue this season.

This is Lazio at this moment.

Interestingly, they also introduced a player called "Caesar" from Brazil's San Caetano this season.

For a while, the media was already helping Lazio consider the second stage of the group stage.

The UEFA Champions League system at this time is quite special.

Last year, the UEFA Champions League just expanded. 32 teams fought in the group stage, and the top two advanced to the round of [-].

Then the sixteen teams were regrouped into groups of four, with the top two advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

So there are two stages of the group stage.

However, some teams are calling for the cancellation of the second stage of the group stage, making the sixteen-eight a knockout round, which can save four games and reduce the burden on the team.

If there is no accident, in the 2003-2004 season, the second stage of the group stage will be cancelled, and it will become the well-known UEFA Champions League knockout system.

From here, we can also see the gold content of the future Champions League king.

In the age of fewer games, Luo scored a record-breaking Champions League goal in a single season. This is of course because of... the rise of attacking football.

Ronaldo:? ? ?

Ronaldo: It means that it has nothing to do with me, right?

"First there is Lazio and then there is a day, Galatasaray's triple crown is still in front of Portuguese sports! "

"The Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League are similar, but Eindhoven's status is more secure than Sporting Lisbon! "

"Mendieta: I look forward to another collision with Guardiola, and I also want to feel the demeanor of Matthaus and Deschamps!" "

"Crespo: I do have a problem with the Portuguese Super League. They took away my European Golden Boot. "

"C Ronaldo: I'm just a European bronze boot, it's Jardel who stole your golden boot, go to Porto and Brazil to get revenge!" "

"Van Bommel: I can freeze Deng Kai, but the task of restricting Ronaldinho is a higher priority! "

"Kezman: There are rumors that Ronaldo did not go to Manchester United because Manchester United introduced Van Nistelrooy. In my opinion, Manchester United made a correct decision! "

"Deng Kai: When I heard Van Bommel's name, I thought he was an offensive midfielder, because I only remember Sneijder and Van der Vaart for the young Dutch midfielders! "

"Deng Kai: Kaizhiman is Ruud's successor, Ronaldo is Ruud's competitor, it is already obvious which one is stronger and weaker!" "

Deng Kai battled Confucianism on social media.

However, Sporting Lisbon does not have time to reply one by one.

Because they are going to really face a tough battle.

They will compete for the fourth trophy for the last season that has not yet fully ended!

Portuguese Super Cup!

Sporting Lisbon VS Porto!
Porto has only one task, and that is to prevent the miracle of Sporting Lisbon from intensifying.

Although they have long been a part of this miracle, their roles in it are not glorious-they are just poor background panels.

This time, they will become the protagonists of the Portuguese Super League again!
