Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Four assists! Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new record in his football career!"

"Schmeichel got up. He was fine. He was asking about Deng Kai's condition... Deng Kai seemed to be alright too. Schmeichel helped Deng Kai up and patted his head. Deng Kai patted Schmeichel's vest in return."

"Once again, enthusiastic applause rang out, but there was no cheering."

"Sporting Lisbon fans must be feeling very conflicted right now. They are proud of Duncan and Ronaldo, but at the same time, they are disappointed with their first team's elimination in the Portuguese Cup semi-final."

"This is something no one expected before the tournament; Moreirense has actually made it to the final."

"Of the three giants in the Portuguese league, they've already encountered two of them!"

"Tomorrow, Porto will play against Boavista, meaning Moreirense could very well face three of the Portuguese giants this season! Can they achieve the feat of defeating all three?"

"Deng Kai!"

"Deng Kai!"

"Deng Kai!"

Fans started chanting Deng Kai's name.

If the previous calls were an expression of friendliness towards the child, and a sign of joy at seeing one's own child...

So this time, it's all about the expectations placed on Deng Kai.

They pinned their hopes of winning the Portuguese Cup on Deng Kai.

Players like Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo are starting to be worthy of the trust and reliance of clubs!

But the game didn't end there.

Or rather, the final result is regrettable.

In the 89th minute, Sporting Lisbon kicked off, and Viana, Quaresma, and Jardel combined in a series of passes, breaking through the defense of the Portuguese team who were holed up in the box.

Quaresma made a brilliant dribble and broke into the penalty area before being brought down by Fonte.

Yellow dot meal!

Quaresma held the ball firmly at the penalty spot.

As the team's number one talent, his competitive spirit was completely ignited by his two younger teammates, Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He wants to show the younger players who the club's star player is right now!

But the team's first penalty taker was Jardel, who approached Quaresma and said, "Since the team can't win anyway, let me take the penalty. I already have two goals."

Jardel's hope to complete a hat trick is a small consolation.

If he just says what comes next, maybe Quaresma will give it to him.

But he said what was said earlier.

"What do you mean we can't win anyway?" Quaresma retorted angrily.

The most prominent characteristic of young people is that they do not believe in fate.

My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

If they had scored that penalty, there would have been four or five minutes of stoppage time left. Why didn't they have another chance to score?

Why admit defeat so early?

What about your sense of collective honor?

What about your dignity?

Of course, if Jardel knew Quaresma's mental state, he would definitely tell him that there was a 99.99% chance that we would lose with this score.

I was simply stating a fact.

But there are no "ifs".

The two started arguing.

Quaresma slapped away Jardel's outstretched hand as he approached, and Quaresma pushed him away.

The two started arguing.

This left the fans somewhat dumbfounded.

The key was that Deng Kai, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fonte and others immediately stepped in to separate the two sides, acting as if they were all part of the group.

Then other members of Sporting Lisbon came over, and the conflict was quelled.

Quaresma then converted the penalty, scoring his second goal of the match from outside play.

With the score at 4-5, Sporting Lisbon still has a chance to take the game into extra time!

If only they could score one more goal!

There are a total of five minutes of stoppage time.

Around the fifth minute, Viana won a corner kick with a long-range shot.

The referee gave them one last chance to attack and did not stop the game.

Viana then took the corner kick.

The more attention you pay to something, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Moreirense focused on defending against the superstar center forward Jardel, but Quaresma managed to score at the far post.

Quaresma, unchallenged at the far post, leaped high and headed the ball towards goal!

Viana's kick was aimed at him!

It was almost a sure goal, but... Jardel's head appeared in the path of the ball, blocking it.

He was pinned down by Altino's underhanded tactics, unable to jump up and even pushed away.

As a result, Altino lost control of Quaresma.

However, at the same time, he also disrupted Quaresma's sure goal by moving Jardel.

Everything seemed to be predetermined.

Sporting Lisbon: No miracles.

boom!

Macedo kicked the ball out of the penalty area.

Drop drop!

Three whistles sounded, and the game ended.

Moreirense defeated Sporting Lisbon 5-4 to advance to the Portuguese Cup final!

Triglav led the substitutes and coaching staff in.

The camera lingered on Trigra's face for a long time, seemingly expressing support for him in this way.

If Trigár becomes the team's head coach, will Sporting Lisbon still miss out on the championship this season?

Everything is unknown.

In a post-match interview, Schmeichel did not hold back his praise for Duncan: "As a 37-year-old goalkeeper, I have encountered many special shots, but today I was still amazed by Duncan."

"It's a talent; there seems to be a special connection between him and football."

"I watched him snatch the ball from my hands, twice!"

"I would find it very difficult to find a player like him at Manchester United, and indeed anywhere in the world. He absolutely has the ability to play in the Portuguese league, and physical factors aside, he could even play in the Premier League!"

Viana, on the other hand, seemed somewhat frustrated: "This game felt out of control to me. We didn't make many mistakes, but we just couldn't take the lead."

"We were in the lead for a single minute of the entire 90 minutes, which was suffocating."

"I even wondered if it was my fault? Was I not strong enough, not good enough, and my return became a burden to the team? I was really worried that I was the reason the team lost."

"To be honest, after this game, I feel less confident when I see a football. I've even started to doubt whether I'm suited to play football, especially after witnessing the rapid growth of players like Duncan and Ronaldo."

"They are the real geniuses, and I..."

Viana became withdrawn after being beaten.

Just like Kimmich after the Qatar World Cup.

When Deng Kai was interviewed, he also learned about the situation between Schmeichel and Viana.

He stated, "Those two goals are ones that even I could never replicate. So Schmeichel can rest assured that he won't concede goals in that way again in the future."

"It's difficult to score against him; he still has a world-class level, and coming to the Portuguese league doesn't mean his ability has declined at all."

"He can maintain this level of performance for at least three or even five years."

"He deserves to continue winning championships during this period!"

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
