Chapter 18 Invulnerable
The match between Porto and Lisbon is almost a matchup at the Portuguese national derby level.

Therefore, the post-match press conference was filled with Portuguese media of all sizes.

Zhang Desheng, who was sitting next to Mourinho at this time, naturally became the focus of media attention at the scene.

As a Chinese player, there is already a lot of news to dig up.

Coupled with today's supernova performance of beating Quaresma, many Portuguese reporters have focused their eyes on this 16-year-old star who can give them a lot of content to write about.

However, the Portuguese reporter asked the first question at the press conference to coach Mourinho.

"Mr. José, judging from today's formation, it seems that you have given up on this cup match. But we know that Porto's qualifying situation in the Champions League group stage is not good, and the league has also dropped to No. 4. If you continue If you give up the Portuguese Cup, Porto will create its worst record in the past 20 years. Have you ever thought that this is a result that Porto fans cannot accept?"

The reporter of the Portuguese newspaper "Record" did not give Mourinho any preferential treatment. This question was a bit of a slap in the face.

Mourinho's face did become ugly, and he immediately said with a cold face: "Your assumptions are always paradoxical. The reality is that we won, and these assumptions of yours are more like a curse!"

This answer was very offensive, and Mourinho expected that the other party's face would become uglier than his own.

But the reporter's face did not become as ugly as he imagined. Instead, he showed a sarcastic smile because Mourinho was fooled.

"Mr. José, the reason why my hypothesis did not come true is obvious. You should thank the Chinese young player sitting next to you. If it weren't for his unexpected performance, it would be difficult for Porto to escape at home today. At that time, Porto would probably end up An ending in which all four goals are lost. So you should thank this kid who saved Porto, especially your second coaching career with a giant."

As soon as this reporter's heart-wrenching remarks came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Everyone obviously likes to see Mourinho make a fool of himself. In addition to the fact that the relationship between the two parties has long been frozen, this is also the meaning of their existence as Western journalists. Otherwise, there would be no breaking news after the game to make readers pay for it! ?
But Zhang Desheng's face will become as ugly as Mourinho's.

This bastard seems to have praised him as a savior, but the problem is that he has also been put on fire, especially by pitting him against Mourinho!
How could Mourinho, a arrogant and pushy showman like him, accept that he was saved by a 16-year-old child?
But the problem is that this statement is really hard to refute!

Even if he knows that this is a naked provocation, the problem is that part of the content of this provocation is true!

So Zhang Desheng is now cordially greeting that damn reporter’s eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart!

He knew very well that some things were clearly provocative, but he still couldn't suppress his suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Because human nature is like this, there is nothing we can do about it.

Now Mourinho regrets bringing Zhang Desheng to the post-match press conference. He feels that this is causing trouble for himself.

"I have heard too many of your provocative words. Don't bother me with them anymore. My team and I have only one answer: take every game seriously, and we will be able to find those hidden things that represent victory." candy."

Although Mourinho was stirred up some emotions, it was not enough to make him lose his composure. His last answer still helped him regain his place.

This also made the reporters at the scene feel that it was still difficult for Mourinho to break the defense, so they turned their attention to the Chinese kid who looked calm.

"Zhang, I am a reporter from Match Newspaper. Do you know that you became famous today? You know that you will soon be on the headlines of major Portuguese media. From then on, fame, money, and beauties will all come to you one by one. , your life will change forever."

This reporter obviously underestimated Zhang Desheng, thinking that just saying this would make him forget about his job due to excessive excitement.

But you can't blame him. If Ronaldo was in Zhang Desheng's position today, he would indeed be overjoyed and get carried away. He might even be encouraged to say something that would surpass Figo.

However, after Zhang Desheng heard this, his expression did not change much, and he still said calmly: "There are only stars who become famous overnight, and there are no football players who become famous overnight. There are no stories of overnight fame on the green field. , all overnight successes happen after a thousand nights.”

As soon as these words came out, even Mourinho looked at him with incredible eyes.

Many media reporters at the scene made disbelief. Because of such a calm and appropriate speech, not to mention that a 16-year-old child could not do it, even if it were replaced by a 26-year-old real star who has experienced many battles. , not many people can do it in reality, right?
The reality is that the cultural level of most stars is very worrying. If they can answer ordinary questions fluently and without getting stuck, it is very rare and valuable.But Zhang Desheng's precise choice of words and witty answers are so rare.

Therefore, many reporters immediately raised their hands to ask questions. Zhang Desheng's too clever talk now aroused their fighting spirit to suppress him or even make him look embarrassed.

Such things as "eloquence" are what reporters like them are good at.

You are a stupid football player and a Chinese football player. How dare you show off like this in front of us?
This is the psychological activity of reporters at this moment. They refuse to accept a Chinese player who is so eloquent.

This is also the reason why they always like to make Mourinho look embarrassed. This guy is also very eloquent and always has sharp words. He always likes to argue with them. If not, who will you do?

Soon, a reporter from Portugal's "Global News" asked again maliciously: "Zhang, I know you must be working very hard, but as Edison said, success is 99% sweat and 1% genius, but usually 1% of talent is more important than 99% of sweat. And you, under the age of 17, showed your talent to the world in such a high-level arena that everyone is amazed by, so your talent and hard work Obviously better than Quaresma, but where is your talent limit?"

Zhang Desheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this. This bastard was afraid that he would not fall to death, and wished he could lift him to the sky.

Let's not talk about the problem of offending people. If the subsequent performance is not good, or even just not good enough, then I am afraid that I will be criticized.

“I don’t think my talent is that good, and I don’t think 1% talent is more important than 99% sweat. I even think hard work is harder than talent, because talent is a kind of luck, and hard work is a choice. , we can’t control the ethereal luck, but we can make every choice.”

Zhang Desheng also thought about it for a moment before speaking out this seemingly impeccable answer.

But to be honest, the media could have spread rumors that he "questioned Edison" or even publicly criticized Edison.

"Zhang, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to say this? As we all know, football is a sport that requires talent. What you say will mislead those children without talent to make meaningless efforts. Hypocritical lies are not a kind of kindness. "

At this time, the reporter from the "Daily Telegraph" got angry. Who knows how the British tabloid came to report on a Portuguese cup match.

But this question came from an unkind person. Even the Portuguese media felt that this was too direct and not decent enough!
Zhang Desheng was even more angry, but he still said calmly: "You are wrong, everyone has talent, and love is a kind of talent. You may not be the best, but you have the drive, even if you do it yourself Even if you succeed, you don’t want to give up. This is talent.”

Mourinho looked at Zhang Desheng with a strange expression at this time, because he had just found the British guy's question difficult to answer.

But if you don't answer, you will give others a leg up. They can take it as your acquiescence and just write whatever you want.

But I didn't expect Zhang Desheng's reaction to be so fast, and this guy's English was so fluent that he was really a freak!
Reporters at the scene also felt that Zhang Desheng was too mature, or rather inhumane!
These questions actually contain traps. Anyone, including Mourinho, will fall into the trap if he answers along their lines.

But the problem is that this little guy reacts too quickly. Not only does he not answer according to their ideas, but he always says a lot of nonsense, which makes them speechless.

"Everyone should have long-term and short-term goals. What are your long-term goals and short-term goals?"

The reporter from "Competition Newspaper" wanted to dig a hole for him just now, but Zhang Desheng changed the topic directly. At this time, another reporter from "Competition Newspaper" planned to continue to dig holes for him.

This question is actually an attempt to sow discord within the Porto team and alienate his interpersonal relationships.

As long as Zhang Desheng says that his goal is to "become a starter", or if he targets a certain great star, then they can write all kinds of hot news after they go back.

Generally speaking, such a young and talented player must have high aspirations, and the possibility of not being fooled in the end is too low.

But the cunning Zhang Desheng would not answer such a question directly.

At this time, I saw his little face straightened up, and he said very seriously: "The coach's goal is also my goal, and the goals of my teammates are also my goals. But at this age, I can't control these great goals. So I should My goal is to calm down first, accept the guidance of the coaches, learn from the experience of my older teammates, and take advantage of the good opportunity of being in a great club like Porto to calm down and hone my own shortcomings."
