Iron Man on the pitch

After the formal training the next day, Paul Bento generously invited all the players to have a dinner together.

After all, he was able to defeat Arsenal and the league has maintained a complete victory so far. All Sporting players have put their own efforts, which has made Paul Bento the national team head coach.

Everyone was having a great time eating. After all, there were not many opportunities to get the head coach's wool. Usually, everyone was fined by him for occasionally violating the club system.

"Coach, is it possible for us to be selected for the national team?" After getting excited, several Portuguese players from Sporting Lisbon boldly asked Paul Bento that they were almost impossible to be selected, but they played well this season. The coach is an acquaintance again.

Players like Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio who are currently on the edge of the national team are also looking at Paul Bento with expectations.

"I can only say that everything is possible and you need to show your form in the rest of the game this season."

Paul Bento took advantage of the situation and began to inspire the morale of the team: "Portuguese Super League, Portuguese Cup, and League Cup, if we can win these three championships, then I will have more confidence in getting you selected into the national team. Especially If we can win the Portuguese Super League, I think it will be fine to bring a few more direct descendants."

"Okay!"

"Oye!"

The players at Sporting Lisbon were extremely excited and were all full of energy.

You should know that joining the national team is not only for the sake of honor, but also a platform for players to show themselves. Every year in the competition, players rely on their outstanding performance in the national team and get rich new contracts in the following transfer period.

This is a win-win situation, no, or even a win-win situation.

The players who were inspired by Paul Bento performed more actively in the next game.

Then on March 15, in the 23rd round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon's opponent, Guimaraes, was in trouble. Sporting Lisbon, who played at home, hit Guimaraes, who ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the Portuguese Super League with a score of 7:0.

With the support of his teammates who seemed to have shot the gun, Li Ling continued to use his increasingly skilled running skills and completed the first half of the year. Li Ling, who had a slight retreat in the second half, also sent a wonderful overhead goal, allowing Ledesson to easily complete the push shot.

But a few days later, a bolt from the blue came to Sporting Lisbon players.

That was in the Champions League quarter-final draw held on March 19, Sporting Lisbon drew Barcelona.

The next day, there was a sigh of sighs on the training ground of Sporting Lisbon.

"There's really hopeless now."

However, after the initial depression, everyone's mentality changed rapidly to relieve themselves, with the brilliant achievements in 2009, Barcelona is at its peak and is completely invincible for Sporting Lisbon.

In fact, let alone Sporting Lisbon, teams around the world have been looking for ways to defeat the Universe team in recent years, but no one is confident that they can win this Barcelona team steadily.

However, the Champions League quarterfinals are already the best Champions League result in Sporting Lisbon's team's history, and this is the second time that they have won this result, so everyone is not dissatisfied with it.

Paul Bento was very upset: "Why did we draw Barcelona? If we could draw teams such as Bordeaux, Lyon, and CSKA, maybe I could create history!"

"Coach, you might as well think of a way to see if you can create history in Barcelona." Li Ling teased Paul Bento, "You can't always pin your hopes of drawing lots on drawing big gift bags, and Real Madrid will meet them just now. When it comes to the matter of turning a gift bag into an explosive bag, it makes people sank the Galaxy Battleship."

"What you said makes sense, go and run ten laps." After arranging Li Ling, Paul Bento turned his head and looked at Joao Mutinho and others who were having fun, "Why are you laughing! You guys are too go!"

Running around before the training starts is not a punishment. Everyone starts running, but after such a stir, the atmosphere on the training ground is much more active.

"I only remember that Arsenal has been Bayern for five years and Barcelona has been here for three years. It seems that after narrowly defeating Arsenal, they have taken over their fate." Li Ling sighed while running.

"I have now developed Zidane's football talent to 91%, and absorbed Ronaldo's game experience to 73%. But even if both events reach 100%, I don't think I can beat this one by myself. Barcelona.”

"Unless I can drive all kinds of causality and law of success that I will succeed and shoot, this year's Champions League match will end here. But causality and effectThe price of the legal-related capabilities in the system is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and cannot be afforded. ”

"But this is enough. I have 16 goals in the Champions League now. Even if I put it in the original time and space, only Ronaldo has one more. I am very satisfied with this year's European record. If you really want to achieve anything, let’s talk about it next year.”

Next is the final of the Portuguese League Cup on March 22, Sporting Lisbon plays against Benfica and the Lisbon derby.

Because they knew that their Champions League journey this season was about to come to an end, the players of Sporting Lisbon actually felt like a sad soldier. In the competition for the first championship this season, they performed extraordinaryly. level.

Although Benfica's offense is still as fierce as it was in previous league matches, Sporting Lisbon's offensive momentum is also good. Without being able to defend it, Paul Bento chose to attack and explode against each other.

In the end, Sporting Lisbon, with Li Ling's 30-meter straight pass, assisted Ledesson to defeat Benfica, winning the Portuguese League Cup championship trophy with a score of 4:3.

After winning the championship, Sporting Lisbon players celebrated happily, celebrating the first trophy this season, which will also open Sporting Lisbon's championship account this season.

But somehow, Li Ling, who was mixed in the crowd, had the illusion that everyone was caring in the doomsday.

However, there is not much time left for Sporting Lisbon to celebrate, because there will be games later.

On March 25, Sporting Lisbon defeated Rio Avi, who is also a Portuguese Super League team, and took the initiative in the Portuguese Cup.

Two days later, on March 27, in the 24th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon played against Maridimo. Perhaps the impact of winning the League Cup was still there, and everyone was still in an excited state, and they defeated Maridi, who was in the middle and upper reaches of the league with a score of 3:0. Don't take it down.

In this game, Li Ling frequently used long shots that he had not used for a long time. After hitting the plane many times, he finally scored 2 goals and recovered his long shot.

Li Ling felt that he had adjusted and could face the next test in the most perfect state.
