Iron Man on the pitch

Although they could only be ranked second in the group after trying their best, the players in Portugal did not have time to feel sad because two or three days later, leagues and cups from various countries followed one after another. On the 22nd, there will be another round of Champions League matches.

Such a intensive schedule has led to many players who have been selected for the national team being exhausted or injured. In short, they are in a sluggish state in the club's game. This phenomenon is called the "FIFA virus".

However, Li Ling, who has been strengthened, was not affected. On the contrary, in the Portuguese Cup match on October 18, the energetic Li Ling helped Sporting Lisbon score 5:0 with 2 goals and 2 assists. He defeated Penafil, the Portuguese team who came to challenge.

Then in the UEFA Champions League group stage on the 22nd, Li Ling helped Sporting Lisbon, who was at home, defeated the weakest Greeks in the same group with a score of 3:0. Although it seemed like a three-goal victory, the game was extremely difficult. The Greeks' competitive style was so tough that it was rough. The game was played intermittently, and it was Li Ling who forced the Greeks to compete with his personal ability, forcing the Greeks to fail to compete. Only when the attack was not done was achieved was the next two goals.

After all, the Portuguese Super League has only 30 rounds, so Sporting Lisbon's schedule is relatively loose, and other players can get more rest time.

Li Ling doesn't need to consider physical fitness, but he also has his own troubles. He can't go to a nightclub every other day. Although he has no problem with his performance on the court, he is now a little famous, with all kinds of gossips staring at him. Although rumored news has no effect on you, some people who see these rumors will affect you.

For example, head coach Paul Bento.

The 40-year-old middle-aged man is like an old mother, chatting in Li Ling's ears all day long, telling Li Ling about which genius who ruined his tragic things because of his undisciplined life.

But Li Ling can neither refute nor reason. He can't tell Paul Bento that his cow is at risk of explosion if he doesn't milk for two days, right? No one will believe it if you say it. In the end, Li Ling, who had the same physique as Wilt Chamberlain, and his performance and physical examination data were guaranteed, made Paul Bento no longer supervise his private life.

But even so, Li Ling's experience in nightclubs has left Li Ling with nicknames such as human-shaped pile drivers, motors on his waist, and wall-breaking. Every night in Lisbon nightclubs, many young ladies are looking forward to Li Ling’s arrival. They are handsome and have money. That is the strong impact that can make the soul disappear. Even if they spend money, they want to go. Try it.

Li Ling also felt that such a life was too troublesome, so he thought about finding a few fixed candidates. But the problem is difficult. It is not easy to find someone who is in line with your own aesthetics, is willing to live a low-key life, and only pays money to do things. If you look for those celebrity models or something, even the 18th-tier stars will definitely pester themselves and even want to get ahead.

But since Tian Tian is willing to tolerate herself and recognizes her mother's words, then why should she say that her girlfriend's name cannot be touched by other women?

On October 28, in the 8th round of the Portuguese Super League, Li Ling helped Sporting Lisbon with a wonderful free kick, a shocking 35-meter long shot, and an accurate straight pass to help Sporting Lisbon at home in Guimarães. The score of 3:1 was all three points.

On November 2, in the 9th round of the Portuguese Super League, considering that the Champions League would be held in two days, Sporting Lisbon had a large rotation, and Li Ling was defended by Maridimo again, and the team struggled. So Li Ling simply gave up the right to dominate the ball and took on the responsibility of fulcrum connection. Fortunately, his teammates performed well and continued the league's winning streak with a score of 1:0.

However, in the match to Greece on November 4, the main players of Sporting Lisbon still failed to withstand the rough confrontation intensity of Greek competition. In addition, the referee's whistle would be slightly more biased towards the home team, and the harshness of the punishment was looser. . The score on the field has always been 0:0.

Until the 93rd minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon won a free kick in the frontcourt. Li Ling used a similar posture to Beckham, replicating the free kick that Beckham had beaten Greece, and successfully took away three away games. point.

On November 9, in the 10th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon, who had a certain rest, defeated Leo Avi 5-0 away. In addition to a hat-trick, Li Ling also received an assist.

The Sporting Lisbon League wins 10 rounds, which really amazed the entire Portugal.

During this period, Jorge Mendes consulted Li Ling to discuss some new commercial endorsements, focusing on the endorsements of Nike and Adidas. But Li Ling is consideringLater, he declined these two companies and told Jorge Mendes to put the offer of these two companies aside for the time being, because after the 2010 World Cup, his endorsement will be incomparable to the present, and he can even be of magnitude. gap.

After hearing Li Ling's decision, Jorge Mendes on the other end of the phone laughed: "It is a good thing for young people to have such confidence. Li Ling, you are the same as I think. So what else do you have in these endorsements now. Are you worried?”

Li Ling expressed his preference: "I don't want endorsements for technology products. I can accept more endorsements for food, but I don't accept endorsements for alcohol."

"Huh?" Jorge Mendes was puzzled. He tried to persuade Li Ling, "The endorsement fee of the food company is relatively not very high..."

"Because I am planning to make my own technology products, I can only say sorry." Li Ling calmly told his reasons.

"Oh? If that's the case, it's really hard to endorse, but your company..."

"It may take a long time to start the World Cup. I can't spend my energy for the time being."

"Well... well. When shooting later, I will arrange for my assistant to assist you." Jorge Mendes hung up the phone, his voice a little disappointed because he got Li Ling's endorsement Ferry from Li Ling. Not much commission.

I thought there was a huge market behind Li Ling, but he didn't expect that even though Li Ling performed so well in Portugal and the Champions League, he could not get any gains. It seems that the step of changing nationality has caused too much damage to his commercial value. Unfortunately, he cannot stop Li Ling's decision, and legendary stars like the Portuguese Football Association and Figo are to promote Li Ling's naturalization. I want to do it. There is nothing to do.

The pointer reached November 15, and the Portuguese national team played against Bosnia and Herzegovina at home. (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

This is a game that determines life and death. In the previous few days of national team training, the players' expressions subconsciously became tense. No one wanted to lose these two games and missed the World Cup next year.

Not only the players, but also the Portuguese fans who appear in Lisbon.

The streets of Lisbon are filled with a solemn atmosphere.
