After time travel, I can only beat up the national football team

Chapter 77 You, it’s you, we want revenge on you!
Zhang Desheng's ambition to win the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot is very big, but no matter how big it is, he must start a little later.

Because he had just rested for three days after returning home, Barcelona rushed to Porto to seek revenge on him.

Yes, Barcelona wanted to take revenge on him by name!

"Revenge?" Zhang Desheng responded angrily after hearing the threatening news from the Catalan media at the pre-match reception the day before the game, "If they really have the ability. , then they are not coming to take revenge on me today!"

These words were so heart-wrenching, especially when paired with his dismissive tone, that the Catalan media, who were all on the scene, wanted to put the microphone in his mouth.

But these words not only made the Catalan media break their guard, but when they reached the ears of the Barcelona players the next day, a bunch of people were equally disgusted!
However, Zhang Desheng said he didn't take his opponent seriously, but in his heart he attached great importance to this battle just like the team.

Mourinho also explained the importance of this battle to the players before the game.

Now as long as they can win a draw at home, they can qualify for the group one round in advance.

此时F组的四支球队都打完了前四场比赛，波尔图3胜1负积9分，反而排在了第一位；阿森纳2胜1平1负，积7分排在第二；巴塞罗那同样2胜1平1负，积7分排在第三；以色列则四战全负，可以提前回去欺负巴勒斯坦人了。

Therefore, the qualifying situation of this group is already very clear. As long as Porto can get a draw at their home court tonight, they can at least secure a No. 2 spot and be sure to qualify in advance.

Barcelona must also get at least one point away from Porto, because Arsenal will face Maccabi Haifa at home today, and getting all three points there is basically a sure thing.

In this way, Arsenal will get 10 points after today.

If Barcelona cannot get a point from Porto, then in the last game against the Gunners in London, even if they win, they will have to fight for away goals.

Now comes the interesting part. In this game, both sides want to guarantee 1 point, but it is best to get all three points. To put it bluntly, they all have the mentality of "guaranteing a tie and fighting for victory"!
Therefore, Zhang Desheng rarely spoke to his teammates before playing.

He didn't say much. He just took out a passage from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and translated it to his teammates. This passage is: seek the top, and you will get the middle; seek the middle, and you will get the bottom; seek the bottom. , must be defeated!
Mourinho was naturally a little enlightened when he heard this, because he felt that this sentence was too reasonable, especially in the football field where there are always situations where there are always situations where a draw is fought for victory, but in the end they are completely defeated.

When the Porto players heard this, they also deeply agreed. Especially when they heard that these words were from the famous "The Art of War", they praised him again and again.

Zhang Desheng actually didn't want to be in the limelight. After all, it was a bit of a slap in Mourinho's face. Even if the latter didn't seem to care, it was still a bit inappropriate.

But he had to say that because the national football team had failed countless times in situations where only one point was needed, he really had some PTSD when facing this situation.

Therefore, he really doesn't want the team to go against Barcelona with the mentality that one point is enough.

Today, they must beat Barcelona again at home.

"Zhang, your reminder is very good. Since we can beat Barcelona 5:0 in the away game, there is no need to have the mentality of a tie when we return to the home court. Today we must at least give the home fans a victory! "

Mourinho really didn't care about Zhang Desheng's talk, because he felt that what this kid said made sense.

Besides, those are not Zhang Desheng's words, but the content of "The Art of War".

If you look at it this way, he'd better buy this book and read it when he has time. After all, this is the greatest strategic theory classic in human history. He might be able to get some inspiration from it.

Zhang Desheng didn't know that his coach was going to watch The Art of War when he had time. He was very happy that the team's goals and direction had been agreed, so that he had the confidence to completely defeat Barcelona at home.

But when he officially met Barcelona on the court an hour later, Zhang Desheng felt that he still overestimated the opponent who was seeking revenge on him.

He felt that Van Gaal, who was opposite him, had definitely never read "The Art of War", because he actually chose the strategy of "ask for it and get it".

Van Gaal couldn't help it, because they were beaten too hard at home.

Today is another away game. If they rush to get all three points, they will probably not get even one point due to greed.

Well, feelings are reverse thinking.

If Zhang Desheng knew that Van Gaal had this idea, he probably wouldn't be able to fart for a long time.

What can he say?
This is indeed a very realistic choice, and it even makes sense.Therefore, although Barcelona made some adjustments to the lineup today, they started with a defensive counterattack, and even wanted to drive up the bus and set it up for a while.

Mourinho is feeling a little sore off the court, why are everyone imitating me?You don’t think the bus is so easy to display, do you?

Porto started today - (I will put it in the writer's words from now on and will not explain it specifically) - Barcelona started.

When Zhang Desheng saw Xavi and Iniesta being moved to the left and right, and then Overmars, who is worth 2500 million pounds, was put on the bench, he could only say to himself: Van Gaal is really brave. Enable new people!
He guessed that Van Gaal was forced to have no choice, because after the massacre directed by him, Van Gaal was really almost kicked out.

He estimated that this is also because Barcelona has not found a suitable replacement, otherwise it would have terminated the contract with Van Gaal on the spot.

In such a humiliating defeat that is rare in team history, Barcelona really has no other way to explain to the fans except firing the coach!
Van Gaal also knew that his coaching in Barcelona had entered a countdown, so he drew a big red cross on Riquelme's name. After writing his resignation letter in advance, he boldly hired Iniesta, who he had always been very optimistic about. , and adding him, Xavi, Mendieta, and Riquelme, who was ready to take them away together, formed the new midfielder Zhang Desheng saw today.

To be honest, this midfielder's problem is not small, but it did make Riquelme feel comfortable all of a sudden.

Although his style is still incompatible with Barcelona, ​​at least he is having fun playing and can show his own characteristics.

Xavi and Iniesta were accompanying Riquelme on the left and right, but Van Gaal did not ask them to go to the wing, but to meet Riquelme in the area between the two lines.

Mendieta naturally stood at the back to help them do the dirty work of wiping their butts. Although his ability to do this job cannot be compared with Makelele, he can at least exert a positive effect.

But the question is, can such a midfield combination with completely different styles really exert the energy to defeat Porto?

At this time, the camera gave a close-up of Van Gaal. The Dutch big nose sat dead on the bench after the start, expressionless and silent at the same time.

After the game started, Porto did not dare to act rashly. They cautiously faced Barcelona who had put up a defensive posture, and first there was a strong crowd of spectators!
First of all, this formation is too new.

Everyone knows that Barcelona is a team based on "technical style of play". Isn't it tempting to defend?

But to be honest, even Barcelona's defense is a bit different from Porto.

Their passing and control is obviously more unrestrained, or more aggressive. Even if the ball is reversed in the backcourt, they are always ready to penetrate Porto's midfield with a through ball.

But the problem is, you don’t have anyone in the midfield who can directly take the ball and attack! ?
Xavi and Iniesta are both too young to talk about now. Even in their peak years, they were not finishing players, but players who created space and created opportunities.

Also, you seem to be just a midfielder?He's not the kind of midfielder who is in charge of everything!

The most outrageous thing is that I don't know whether it should be described as a classic attacking midfielder who slowly hides murderous intent or delays his opponent's opportunity.

Zhang Desheng always feels that Riquelme and the other 21 players in the audience have different styles...

Wait a minute, why doesn't he defend?
After Porto opened the game, they were cautiously testing for 10 minutes. They were really worried about what trump card the opponent had waiting for them.

But when they completed a steal in the backcourt and the football bounced past Riquelme's area - this classic midfielder actually looked at it gracefully and did not compete with the Porto players at all?
"This...we were so frightened by such a lazy midfielder that we didn't dare to attack in a big way for 10 minutes?"

Zhang Desheng and his teammates had the same idea at that moment. This was really putting a black face on him and looking in the mirror - he was scaring himself!
