Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

When Peruzzi deflected the ball toward the side netting with his foot, the ball had actually already crossed the goal line completely.

That's why Peruzzi didn't catch the ball, but instead punched it away.

This was a clever move, but it didn't fool the linesman.

The referee then pointed to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid.

"Oh! Goal! That's a fantastic goal!"

"Sporting Lisbon, CD connection, helps the team take a 4-1 lead over Lazio!"

"They're too fierce! This Sporting Lisbon team is absolutely fierce!"

"Deng Kai's cross was like a work of art. The quality of this cross was extremely high; the ball traced a beautiful arc, like the wings of an angel!"

"One goal and two assists—he completely dominated the game!"

"Three Champions League group stage matches, three goals and four assists so far, averaging 2.34 goal contributions per game! That's an incredibly terrifying efficiency!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's diving volley showcased the shooting prowess of a European Bronze Boot winner to Italian fans! A brace! Despite Nesta's defense, Ronaldo twice pierced the goal! He is the victor of today's clash of titans!"

"Of course, we must recognize that Nesta could only perform at about 70% of his usual sharpness today. This is because he had to cover the vacuum area behind Mendieta, and Ronaldo and Kaká were frequently attacking that area."

"Lazio has reached a point where they have to break with the old ways to rebuild. If they don't make changes, they really won't have any chance in this game."

Sure enough, Lazio coach Mancini couldn't sit still any longer.

He replaced Simeone with Chile's star striker Salas, switching to a 4-3-3 formation.

By substituting a center forward for a defensive midfielder, Lazio began their final desperate attempt.

But this makes the vulnerabilities around Mendieta even greater.

This is purely gambling with your life.

The two sides then engaged in a brilliant but chaotic exchange of attacks.

Everyone wanted to attack, but no one dared to make any moves. Instead, they quickly passed the ball to the forwards, sending long balls flying everywhere.

In the 76th minute, the result of the gamble was announced.

Under pressure, Guardiola passed the ball to Kaká, who had come back to receive it.

This was a very standard pass.

But after receiving the ball, Kaká turned around and flicked the ball ten meters away!

Mendieta, standing nearby, was taken aback.

This……

Kaka was 10 meters from the football, and Mendieta was 7 meters from the football.

Isn't this just giving away possession of the ball?

But two seconds later, the entire Stadio Olimpico in Rome fell silent.

Because Kaká caught up with Mendieta, who was desperately chasing the ball, like a shooting star, and tipped the ball away half a step ahead of him.

With an acceleration of about two seconds from zero to ten meters, Kaka's starting speed is comparable to that of a professional sprinter.

Is this supposed to be the midfield?

That's even faster than Maicon, right?

Even... it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo didn't get this fast!

boom!

Kaká touched the ball again and sent it far away, then accelerated a second time, completely shaking off Mendieta.

"Kaka! That's too fast!"

"Charge straight in! No one can stop Kaka!"

Pancaro moved inward, but it was too late! He was left behind!

"Stam, attack!"

"Kaka flicked the ball, almost without changing direction, and directly smashed through Stam!"

Nesta has also gone there!

"Deng Kai has moved up, it's a 2-on-1 situation in the frontcourt!"

"What will Kaka do? Pass the ball! Kaka returns the favor, selflessly passing it across the box!"

"Shoot!"

"Goal! Deng Kai! DK connection, it's DK connection again!"

"Previously, 'DK' was short for Deng Kai. But from now on, 'DK' represents two people! That is, Deng Kai + Kaka!"

"Five to one! I declare Sporting Lisbon advanced to the Champions League Round of 16!"

"They completely blew Lazio apart!"

"One goal and two assists! Kaká is one of the three best-performing players on this pitch today!"

"Two goals and two assists! Deng Kai was the best player today, without a doubt!"

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Cristiano Ronaldo: So, of the three best-performing players, only I, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice, am not named?

In the shot, Deng Kai is seen patting Kaka on the shoulder and pointing to the sky with one finger.

Kaka was a little surprised. How did Deng Kai know he liked this celebration move?

Kaka has not yet shown this move after scoring a goal because he feels he is not in good form yet.

Kaka did not refuse Deng Kai's invitation.

The two ran toward the corner flag area, pointing both fingers to the sky almost simultaneously, and looking up at the sky as if communicating with God.

dk!

dk!

dk!

The voices of the fans came through the television.

At this moment, Sporting Lisbon fans around the world are thrilled.

Sporting Lisbon not only made it into the Champions League after many years, but also advanced to the round of 16!

Perfect! The season has only been going on for two months, but it's already perfect for the fans!

They have achieved their ideal Champions League goal, and every game from now on will be a huge win for the team!

"Awesome! Kai is awesome!" Fonte had just come out of the player tunnel when he saw this exciting scene.

However, he was quick-witted and soon came up with a problem.

In Deng Kai's global fan club, Kai Shao's fans are naturally the true and legitimate.

However, there are also a few permitted minority parties.

The most powerful among them is the CD party.

But Fonte's intuition told him that the DK party was likely to rise in the near future.

The scene of Kaká and Duncan celebrating a goal together was absolutely stunning.

After all, the reason why the CD party is so powerful is because Cristiano Ronaldo was the first player to jump up and die with Deng Kai.

"Young Master Kai, have some tea." Font handed Deng Kai a sports drink, but it actually contained Assam milk tea.

"Let the coach enjoy himself first," Deng Kai suggested, quick-wittedly.

Trigra, who was replacing Drogba with Imbu, felt a chill run down his spine as the fear of being dominated by the alchemist Maxa suddenly surged up.

Seventy-ninth minute.

After serving, Poborsky played aggressively and won a free kick in a very good position for his team.

Lazio immediately raised the substitution board, replacing Stankovic with Mihajlovic.

Mihajlovic is a very famous player, famous for being known as the King of Free Kicks.

During this period, two players in Serie A achieved a hat-trick of free kicks.

The first one is Signori in the 1993-1994 season.

The second is Mihajlovic in the 1998-1999 season.

The difference between Mihajlovic and Signori lies in the fact that the former's free kicks are of extremely high quality, with excellent curve, angle, and power. The latter, on the other hand, relies more on stealing free kicks.

Lazio brought on the nearly 33-year-old Mihajlovic for one purpose only.

Free kick!

Ten seconds later, deafening cheers erupted from the stadium.

Mihajlovic, who came off the bench to take the free kick, did not disappoint. He also showed the young men of Sporting Lisbon what it means to live up to one's reputation.

The free kick went directly into the net, making the score 5-2.

But after that free kick, the morale of the Lazio players came to an abrupt halt.

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