Chapter 122
The promotion to the semi-finals of the Europa League certainly made the entire Sporting Lisbon club happy, but the players only got a little rest in the afternoon when they returned to Portugal, and started a new training session the next morning.

On the one hand, it is because the schedule is very tight. Two days later, they will go to the away game to participate in the 30th round of the league. On the other hand, it is also because the importance of the Europa League is indeed far less than that of the Champions League.

Just imagine, if Sporting Lisbon successfully advances in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and then beats Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Paris, Bayern, Chelsea, Manchester United and other top giants - oh no, Manchester United won the Europa League this season None of them are eligible to participate - to reach the semi-finals, the club owners and fans must be crazy happy!

What's more, Benfica, the number one club in the Portuguese Super League, finally made it to the final of the UEFA Europa League last year, and they didn't celebrate much. If Sporting Lisbon gets carried away in the semi-finals, Benfica and Porto will definitely laugh with disdain.

Of course they have reason to laugh, because Sporting Lisbon is the only team among the three giants in Portugal that does not have any European championship honors!

In the eyes of rivals, this will always be a disgrace to Sporting Lisbon!Their rich titles are nothing but self-appointed!
-
Two days later, on May 4rd.

The Sporting Lisbon team arrived in the northern city of Guimaraes by bus.

Of course, they are not too poor to fly, but the distance is too short. The entire area of ​​Portugal is only 9.2 square kilometers. If it is placed in Chinese provinces and cities, this data can only be ranked 26th, compared with Zhejiang ( 10.2) is smaller than Chongqing (8.2), and the distance of more than 200 kilometers is not as convenient as railway or road by plane.

After adapting to the field and adding tactical training, head coach Silva and player representative Lu Feng went to the pre-match press conference together.

"Our current ranking is 11th, and the task of relegation this season has been completed ahead of schedule, but we will not give up our home court easily.

Sporting Lisbon is a traditional giant, and in the second half of the season, it showed a strong attacking power. It is really difficult to contain them, but we will try our best to play tomorrow's game..."

Moreira's head coach first expressed his attitude, then answered a few questions, and then led the players off the floor.

Just as Silva and Lu Feng sat down, the mobile phones in their trouser pockets vibrated at the same time.

It was just a single vibration at first, but it quickly became continuous.

The two looked at each other and took out their mobile phones at the same time.

On the screen is the chat group of the Sporting Lisbon first team, and the top message is from João Mario:
"Benfica draw!"

Lu Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The most eye-catching focus of this round of the league is not the contest between Sporting Lisbon and Moreira, but the Portuguese national derby-Benfica vs. Porto!
Although Porto has basically withdrawn from the championship, but... they will not let Benfica easily win the championship!

The scene of this game must have nothing to do with artistic football. The two giants fought fiercely for 90 minutes and received a total of 9 yellow cards, but only handed over the score of 0-0.

Silva put away his mobile phone, but there was no joy on his face.

Benfica's lead is 3 points. After this draw, even if Sporting Lisbon wins Moreira tomorrow, the gap between the two sides is still 1 point. With only four league rounds left, I can only count on Benfica to continue to make mistakes !

But... Benfica's next four opponents, what qualifications do they have to pose a threat to Portugal's No. 4 giants?
-
The reporters also received the news from Benfica for the first time, and the questioning booth suddenly became active:
"Marco, is there no room for loss in tomorrow's game?"

"Did you see the hope of competing for the championship again?"

"Lu, will you start tomorrow?"

"Do you think Moreira's defense will focus on you? Will this affect your performance?"

"Lu, how likely do you think Sporting Lisbon will win the league this season?"

……

Lu Feng frowned. In the first half of his life, he was not very good at making false claims, talking nonsense when meeting people, and talking nonsense when meeting ghosts. Facing experienced journalists with strange thoughts and many routines, he knew that he only needed one word. If you don't use it well, you may fall into the trap dug by the opponent, so he rarely participates in such pre-match conferences-compared with verbal battles, he is better at proving himself with one goal after another in the game.

He was a little anxious to be asked by the reporters, but he finally gave an answer:
"We only have 5 rounds of the league. I can't tell you how likely Sporting Lisbon will come back, but what I can guarantee is that we will go all out in every game. Let's see, after a month, what will happen? What happened!"
-
4 month 27 day.

Everyone has seen what Lu Feng meant by "go all out".

He scored five goals in the 60 minutes he played, turning the last half hour into rubbish time!
Japanese forward Junya Tanaka, who finally got the chance to rotate, also scored a goal, but he was not happy at all!

In addition to the two of them, another rotation striker Montero scored twice, and the fringe substitute Carlos Mane added the icing on the cake. The final score of the game was fixed at a shocking 0-10!

Everyone is exclaiming "Sporting Lisbon is crazy"!
But when they looked through the history, they found that this is only the most disparate score in the Portuguese Super League in the past 51 years. If you count the games in ancient times and various cups, 10-0 can't even be ranked in the top ten tragedies...

（插一句，就在2018-19赛季的下半程2019年2月，本菲卡刚刚10-0屠杀了葡萄牙国民队，创造了近55年葡超联赛最大比分的纪录。）
And a week later, on May 5, when Sporting Lisbon returned to their home court, their opponent in the 3st round was the Portuguese national team.

Their morale was at its peak, and they unceremoniously proved one thing: Sporting Lisbon is not inferior to Benfica in another time and space!

Lu Feng shot and passed, Montero scored twice in a row, and Slimani, on the basis of the icing on the cake, sent a total of three assists for two teammates. The three teammates who rarely started at the same time showed excellent tacit understanding. This kind of performance made the coaching team see the possibility of another tactic...

As for the final score, it was still 10-0!

And the victim-the Portuguese national team didn't even know that this score would appear on him again after 4 years!
