Iron Man on the pitch

On January 19, 2010, the half-rottling Sporting Lisbon advanced to the next round in the Portuguese Cup with a score of 4:3.

On January 25, in the Portuguese League Cup, Sporting Lisbon, which was fighting on the 4th line, continued to make great strides and won the game 3:0.

On January 30, in the 17th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon challenged Braga away and defeated the home team with a score of 3:1. The styles of both teams are biased towards teamwork, but Sporting Lisbon has the absolute strength of Li Ling. He has an excellent overall view and can amplify his personal abilities with super specifications through tacit team cooperation.

In this game, Li Ling received assists from his teammates and completed a header hat trick, helping the team continue to continue his record of winning.

On February 3, Sporting Lisbon encountered Porto in the Portuguese Cup.

Porto, who had lost twice in the league, fought to the death and vowed to find the game in the cup.

The game became full of gunpowder, and the two sides broke out in a red and yellow card battle.

In the chaos, Li Ling relied on his personal ability to help the team win Porto with a score of 4:2 and completed a three-kill against Porto.

On February 7, in the 18th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon took the home court and beat Coimbra 3:0. Li Ling contributed 1 goal and 1 assist.

On February 10, in the Portuguese League Cup, Sporting Lisbon tied 3:3 in the semi-finals with Benfica. Li Ling ushered in his first penalty shootout in his career.

Rui Patricio performed well and saved two consecutive penalty kicks. The opponent's last free throw was shocked by Rui Patricio and hit the plane.

Sporting Lisbon advanced to the finals of the Portuguese League Cup.

On February 13, due to continuous combat and the players were exhausted, Sporting Lisbon chose to rotate the main players in the 19th round of the Portuguese Super League against Ferreira. Only Li Ling, who can be called a physical monster, continued to start and played all over the game.

The substitute player is still somewhat lacking. Li Ling, who lost his teammates' support, finally got a big guarantee after playing 10 consecutive free kicks in the frontcourt, helping Sporting Lisbon to go away with a score of 1:0. And retreat.

On February 16, Sporting Lisbon has encountered the strongest challenge so far this season, with the opponent being Arsenal of the Premier League.

The reason why Chelsea is not the strongest challenge is because in the group stage, Chelsea does not need to try their best. Now it is the Champions League knockout stage, and one of the two teams can only advance to the next round, and it must be a bayonet fight.

In the group stage, Sporting Lisbon ranked second, so the first game of the two-leg knockout was played at its own home court.

At the pre-match press conference, Arsenal head coach Wenger was answering questions from reporters.

"I heard that Arsenal has been chasing Li Ling since last summer and has not given up on the winter break just now, but they have been rejected. Professor, can you reveal the inside story?"

Wenger's mouth twitched slightly: "I think you should ask the coach Bento of Sporting Lisbon. He should be clear about the inside story. I can only say that we gave it sincere enough quotation. ”

"So after the end of this season, will Arsenal continue to pursue Li Ling?"

"Of course, every coach wants an excellent player like Li Ling who is competent in multiple positions."

"So what price will Arsenal pay to bring Li Ling to the Emirates Stadium?"

"This issue has nothing to do with the game, and Li Ling's specific value will not be approximate until the end of the World Cup. Now is not the time to discuss this topic." Wenger politely rejected the reporter's question, but Wenger lowered his head. A deep helplessness was revealed in his eyes.

After the World Cup, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Ling can perform well in Portugal. At that time, Li Ling's net worth will definitely increase more, and there will be more teams chasing Li Ling, even Real Madrid and Barcelona. The team may join in, but their own Arsenal is not at all competitive.

Of course, if Queiroz does a fancy job, resulting in a poor record in Portugal, he may not have no chance.

But this sense of powerlessness that was lack of money still deeply hurt Wenger's heart.

"What is your goal for this game, Coach Wenger?"

Wenger's mouth showed a black smile: "Of course, it's all three points. A young player like Li Ling needs to be tested by setbacks."

By the time Paul Bento was interviewed at the press conference, the questions he was asked had little to do with the game.

"Coach Bento, there are rumors that you will take over as the head coach of the Portuguese national team. Is that true?"

PaulBento's eyelids twitched: "I have nothing to say. I want to focus on Sporting Lisbon, especially the current Champions League. Please do not ask questions that are not related to this game."

"Arsenal's core player Fabregas is as young as Sporting Li Ling, the core player of Sporting Lisbon. Who do you think will perform better in the next game?"

"I admit that Fabregas is an excellent player, but Li Ling is not bad either, but everything has to be said by his performance in the game. At least I think 19-year-old Li Ling is better than 19-year-old Fabregas No, even Zidane, who is 19 years old, I don’t think he can do better than Li Ling.” Paul Bento politely made a fuss and finally praised his disciple.

"Coach Bento, why do you use Zidane for comparison?"

Seeing that the topic was successfully transferred, Paul Bento smiled proudly: "Because Li Ling told us that he usually watches Zidane's game video repeatedly, imitates Zidane's football playing movements, and in training and competitions. , he did the same."

"After you say that, indeed, Li Ling's technical movements are very evident in Zidane. Wait, coach Bento, do you mean that Li Ling's idol is Zidane?"

When talking about Li Ling, Paul Bento was very happy: "It's hard to say, Li Ling is a young man who loves to learn. He often watches and learns the technical movements of those star players. Among the active players, Li Ling prefers Kaka and Ronaldo. However, he watched the most videos of Zidane. "

Another reporter stood up and asked: "So what does Li Ling think about Messi who just won the Golden Globe Award? Will Li Ling go to watch Messi's game video?"

"I don't know, he hasn't told us about Barcelona. I've asked Li Ling who is his favorite football star..." Paul Bento laid out his tail, "He said he likes a lot of football stars he likes. , but if you can only choose one, then you are yourself.”

"Wow, what a confident guy. So for the next game against Arsenal, coach Bento, your goal is..."

"Of course it's victory. No one doesn't want to go further in the Champions League." The crazy consumption of Li Ling made him keep his mood happy Paul Bento said his goal with his head held high.
