Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The game then went into halftime.

A small portion of Kaiserslautern's fans left this time.

The commentators on the various television stations broadcasting the match were also discussing Deng Kai's incredible goal.

News of Sporting Lisbon's 8-2 aggregate thrashing of Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern spread like wildfire across Europe within fifteen minutes.

Fans across Europe turned on their TVs to watch this match, eager to witness this outrageous goal-fest.

Because everyone believed that the two sides would score at least three more goals in the second half.

In Europe, Sporting Lisbon and Kaiserslautern don't have many fans, especially compared to the big clubs.

But many fans love to see goals scored.

Even if you are two unknown teams, as long as the competition is of a high standard and there are enough goals, everyone will be happy to give you applause and high viewership.

Returning from halftime.

The Sporting Lisbon players all had relaxed smiles on their faces. Usually, when the team is behind, Triguera would discuss tactical adjustments with Duncan.

Maxa would serve tea and water to Deng Kai.

When the team is in the lead, especially by a large margin, Triguera will keep his achievements hidden.

Deng Kai also doesn't criticize his teammates' performance.

Leading teammates is like raising children; you have to scold them when necessary, but you also have to give them space to perform freely when appropriate.

They're already leading by a large margin, so what's wrong with a few players showing off a little?

Even if a mistake leads to a goal conceded, the team can afford it.

Moreover, this kind of show can raise a player's ceiling.

Most people remain calm and composed in the face of adversity not because they are born with a strong heart, but because they have seen and experienced many things.

A person who had never seen a piano before was very curious when they saw one for the first time and were amazed that the keys could produce sound and that the sound was so clear and elegant.

There's nothing shameful about it.

A person who had never been to a high-end restaurant and was unaware of the relevant dining etiquette and order made a fool of themselves.

It's not shameful.

It's just because we haven't met before. Once we do, it'll be fine, and we'll naturally be more familiar and confident next time.

What's truly shameful is pretending to know what you don't, or mocking those who don't know what you do.

Were they mocking someone else?

No, that's just mocking their past selves.

So, with neither Triglav nor Duncan speaking, Maxa gave a grand speech to the team.

That statement really got a lot of players excited.

"Alright, as I just said, play the second half with a lot of thought, you know what I mean?" After giving the pep talk, Maxi asked a question in return.

The players nodded in agreement.

Fonte clapped enthusiastically, thinking, "What did he mean? What did he just say?"

The second half of the game has begun.

Sporting Lisbon kicks off.

After a simple passing sequence, the ball reached the right wing.

Quaresma successfully challenged his opponent one-on-one with the ball, and then cut inside.

After drawing the attention, he passed the ball back to Deng Kai outside the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Deng Kai immediately launched an attack on the penalty area.

"Deng Kai's dribbling is back!"

"He's using a step-over, and unlike a regular step-over, Deng Kai's step-over speed—no, his movements—is incredibly fast. This is the kind of step-over that Cristiano Ronaldo excels at; it looks like he's been electrocuted, slightly stiff, but it's really fast!"

"Great! Deng Kai has successfully dribbled past his opponent."

"The injury involved pulling and pushing... Deng Kai fell to the ground! Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!"

"Kaiserslautern's players looked hurt, but Duncan did indeed fall inside the penalty area. It was an indisputable penalty, and not only that, the defensive midfielder also received a yellow card."

"Deng Kai has already drawn two yellow cards today; he's simply unstoppable!"

"Huh, what happened... Oh! Quaresma passed the ball to Duncan, and he held up three fingers, meaning Duncan has already scored two goals, one more and it will be a hat trick!"

"Everyone knows that a hat-trick means much more to a player than just scoring three goals; it's more of an honor."

"Quaresma has a great sense of the game. You know, he hasn't been in good form lately, with both his goals and assists dropping sharply. To give up a penalty under those circumstances requires a lot of selflessness."

"The atmosphere within Sporting Lisbon is excellent; they are very united. Of course, this may also be related to Duncan's recent efforts to help Quaresma out of his predicament."

Looking at the football in his hand, Deng Kai couldn't help but feel a little touched.

After all, Quaresma is the team's first-choice penalty taker.

Well... Kua Zi has really broadened the path for himself.

Who are we playing next?

No matter who you kick, No. 1 Middle School will definitely feed you until you're full!

First, I'd like to apologize to Ronaldo. Next game, the ball will be in Kwazi's possession.

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Ten seconds later, Deng Kaigao lunged at Quaresma with both arms outstretched.

Then his teammates followed, and everyone celebrated the goal together.

"Deng Kai was very relaxed, and he actually chose to shoot the penalty down the middle. Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper clearly didn't expect that, and he dived to his left."

"Four to one! Sporting Lisbon continues to extend their lead, now they've made it nine to two on aggregate! This is terrifying! They're the top scorer in this year's UEFA Cup! They've scored the most goals!"

"Similarly, Deng Kai has also completed a hat-trick of goals in this match. His performance of three goals and one assist is absolutely outstanding! He has shown everyone with solid statistics who the absolute core of this team's midfield truly is!"

"When Viana is on the court, Duncan drops back, acting as a Matthäus or Deschamps. When Viana isn't there, Duncan, moving forward, becomes like Zidane, Maradona, or Ronaldinho!"

In the 51st minute, Sporting Lisbon continued to pressure Kaiserslautern.

Deng Kai's through ball, just three steps outside the penalty arc, tore apart Kaiserslautern's defense.

Quaresma cut inside without the ball and took a shot with the outside of his foot without stopping the ball, but he couldn't completely get around the defender in front of him. The defender blocked the ball with his body, creating a corner kick.

Deng Kai took a tactical corner kick, passing it to Quaresma on the side.

Quaresma feinted a shot, causing the players in the penalty area to jump, and then he crossed the ball to the front of the goal, trying to create chaos so that whoever touched the ball could score.

However, Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper, seemingly reckless, rushed out and grabbed the ball first.

He then got up and launched a long ball, completing a quick pass.

Drogba ran back a couple of steps before remembering to interfere with the opposing goalkeeper, but by the time he turned back, it was too late.

The football flew to the midfield.

Klose and Terry engaged in a fierce competition.

Klose seemed to be at a disadvantage, but after giving up his position to Terry, he bumped into Terry as Terry jumped.

His action was discreet enough and the intensity was within the referee's acceptable range, so it did not constitute a foul.

Terry was affected by this while heading the ball in mid-air. Although he didn't completely lose his balance, he misjudged the header and headed the ball towards his own penalty area.

But the power wasn't enough; Schmeichel couldn't possibly run out of the penalty area to receive the ball.

Klose then instantly launched himself forward, hurtling towards the ball.

"One-on-one! Terry misses a header, Klose is one-on-one... Schmeichel comes out to challenge, neither of them makes the first move, they're closing in while engaging in a psychological battle!"

"Klose shoots! The ball is fast! Schmeichel dives to save... but he's just a little short!"

"The ball flew past Schmeichel's arm... Goal!"

"Two to four! Klose did everything he could. Although the team is still trailing by a large margin, he has performed exceptionally well in these two games!"

"Klose has scored all three goals for the team in two legs. He truly deserves to be called the hottest young striker in the Bundesliga! This one-on-one goal showcased his skill. Schmeichel is a top goalkeeper, and his pressing pressure is very strong."

"From Terry to Schmeichel, Klose has demonstrated his physical strength, speed, mentality, and shooting skills... He excels in every aspect; he is an all-around striker!"

"It's a pity that Sporting Lisbon's young players are just too strong, otherwise this would have been a back-and-forth series."

"Speaking of which, given Klose's age, I actually feel he should be with Sporting Lisbon. There are many exceptionally talented young players there, and Klose would definitely be able to mesh well with them."

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