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

Chapter 80 Two second stage groups!

At this time, the Champions League schedule was still divided into two stages of group matches. Zhang Desheng didn't like this smelly and long format, but what could he do if he came back too early.

But this competition system also has an advantage, that is, it is very convenient for players to brush up data!

Just imagine, if a player played 12 games in two groups, and then played all the way to the finals in the knockout rounds, that would be a full 17 games!

If you are lucky and encounter two weak opponents in the first group stage, and if you are in good condition, it will not be difficult to score 20+ goals after the entire tournament. There is even hope of scoring 25+ goals!

Zhang Desheng now hopes that their luck in the second stage of group drawing will be better. It is best to be able to draw the only one or two fish belly, and then his position as the top scorer will be stable.

His idea is not impossible to realize, because the grouping at this stage is not so particular. At this time, it is only the teams in the same league that are avoided, and the teams that qualified in the same group in the first stage are avoided, but the teams of the same level have already No more avoidance.

This means that in the second stage of the group stage, there is likely to be a real group of death!
But there is no way. Almost half of the teams in the third and fourth tiers were killed in the first stage.

At a glance, the teams that can now enter the second stage are mostly from the four major leagues, plus the strong teams in the fifth to seventh leagues, and at most one or two have slipped through the net.

So whoever draws those few fish that slipped through the net will be lucky.

On the contrary, it will naturally be bad luck!
Whether Porto is lucky or unlucky will have to wait a few more days to find out.

At this time, Zhang Desheng was more concerned about the grouping of his Macau team in the second phase of the U20 World Cup Asian Division qualifiers, because the draw time for this event is closer.

On November 11, Porto defeated Setubal 9:1 away from home in the tenth round of the league.

On his way back to Porto the next day, Zhang Desheng received news of the Macau team’s grouping.

“Iran, Japan, Vietnam?”

After Zhang Desheng got the news of the grouping, he immediately frowned.

But he has actually been mentally prepared for it. After all, just like the Champions League, there will no longer be teams like India and Guam in Asia in the second stage.

The Chinese team's grouping is not much better. They are once again grouped with their old enemy South Korea. At the same time, the other two opponents in the group are Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

"The Chinese team probably won't be able to make it out of this group!"

Zhang Desheng knew that his family was in dire straits, not to mention the Korean team. It would be an honor for this national youth team to draw.

Saudi Arabia is also very weak against the Chinese team. Who can give them the money?

Although Bahrain is weak at this time, the Chinese team is weak when it encounters weakness. It is normal for Bahrain to overturn!

He felt that if the 85 team two years later were assigned to this group, they might still be able to compete.

But this time the 83 class is basically the same as Barcelona, ​​which just lost three points in the league. If anyone dares to buy them to win, it is better to buy A shares. The latter is much more reliable than the national football team.

"Oh, I really don't want to go back to play, but if I don't go back, I can't get out of the line. It's really difficult!"

Zhang Desheng is also very distressed now. After he has played in the Champions League, it is okay if you let him play in the Asian Cup. After all, he faces serious national teams, especially the Japanese and Korean teams that have won international competitions. It’s not considered a third-rate team anymore.But now that he is asked to go back to play for the U20 national team, he really feels a bit boring at this level.

But then I thought about it, it didn't matter whether he played or not, but the new Macau team really needed training and running-in in high-level competitions.

That's why he was so entangled. Until the results of this group came out, he still hadn't decided whether to go back and play two games?
Zhang Desheng had been struggling with this matter for two days, when the grouping for the second stage of the Champions League finally came out.

"Okay, am I quarreling with La Liga?"

When Zhang Desheng saw that Porto was divided into a group with Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Bayer Leverkusen, the first thing he paid attention to was naturally the defending champion known as the "Galaxy Battleship", and then he looked at the current champion in the original position. AC Milan, he could only curse secretly: "Too unlucky"!
"No, is my luck just a decoration? Isn't this group too dead?" Zhang Desheng suddenly had an idea, "Wait a minute, could this be the result of luck taking effect? ​​Because kicking A strong team will have more chances to meet the Son of Luck, and have more chances to obtain tasks, and thus get more rewards!"

Zhang Desheng suddenly felt that he had realized something. Could it be that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the opponent?

But the problem is that this group is too difficult, and not only the Portuguese media lamented the bad luck of their team the next day, but the media from the other three countries also thought it was crazy!
Not to mention Real Madrid, the defending champion, Leverkusen was also the final team of last season's Champions League. This means that the last champion and runner-up were divided into the same group.

AC Milan is not a weak team. They qualified first in the first stage of the group stage. Coupled with their status as a serious Serie A giant, they are much higher than Barcelona.

Porto has the lowest strength and grade in this group, but they are stepping on Barcelona and suppressing Arsenal. They are also the top team in the group. No one would think that such a team is really weak.

Zhang Desheng is also very upset, because judging from this grouping, Porto's qualifying situation is probably not as high as Macau's probability in Asia.

"Forget it, I'd better get some points in the league first!"

Zhang Desheng found it difficult to do, so he simply stopped doing it.

It's good to take advantage of this period of time to do some bad things in the league and build up your self-confidence.

On November 11, Porto played away against Moreirense in the 18th round of the league, and finally defeated the opponent 11:2 with all the main players.

Zhang Desheng once again scored a small goal, which also raised his Portuguese Super League data to 1 goals and 8 assists in 9 games, continuing to lead the scorer list.

But in his eyes, this performance is actually not good enough. After all, he barely scored 1 goal in 1 game. If this continues, it seems that it will be difficult to create 30+ goals.

But there is no way. It is difficult for the team coached by Mourinho to score big scores, and the lack of big scores means that it is difficult to collect statistics. After all, the data of one or two goals in a game can be divided into half of his hands. Not much!

Mourinho didn't know that his top star was already so good, but he was still thinking about brushing up his personal data?
In such a long season, such intensive games, and so many powerful opponents, if they don't defend and save some energy with their limited strength, it will probably end in a multi-line collapse.

Now there was an uncomplicated multiple-choice question before him, but one that required making choices!
In the second stage of the Champions League group stage, their first game against AC Milan is scheduled for November 11.

But the problem is that on the 24th, they have a Portuguese Cup fourth round match against a Portuguese Super League team.

Mourinho hesitated for a long time, but finally chose the Champions League. After all, they had just won the Portuguese Cup last season.

So on the 24th, Porto sent a full substitute lineup to play.

Fortunately, even with the substitute lineup, the big guys still learned the essence of MBS in defense, and finally defeated Ferreira 1:0.

This is good news for the entire Porto team, because they can finally go to Milan with the best spirit to learn how much this Serie A giant is worth?
