Chapter 396: Portuguese Super Galaxy Battleship, Sao Paulo Substitute Player

Guardiola: "Don't you have Matthaus and Deschamps?"

In terms of strength in the defensive midfield position, Matthaus beat Guardiola hands down.

Deschamps wasn't far behind Guardiola either.

People always thought that among the four great defensive midfielders of the 90s, Guardiola was the least impressive, not deserving to be mentioned in the same breath as the other three.

Deng Kai: "Matthaus is simply too old, his playing time next season won't exceed one-third of the matches."

"While Deschamps is much younger than Matthaus, he's three years older than you, and his strength isn't top-notch either. The role he can play on the field is increasingly limited, just enough to make him a substitute."

"You'd be our first choice for the defensive midfield position."

"Others might look down on Sporting Lisbon, a Primeira Liga team, but you should know how strong we really are. This season in the Champions League, we definitely won't just be making up the numbers."
