Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

With the referee blowing the whistle three times, the match officially ended.

Six to one!

Sporting Lisbon topped their group with eleven points, overtaking Italian powerhouse Lazio, and advanced to the Champions League Round of 16.

Although these two names differ by only one character, the former is considered very unlucky.

Yin Bu ultimately failed to score a goal, and didn't even manage an assist.

But this resounding victory is enough to increase the market value of every Sporting Lisbon player.

A hat-trick of goals and a brace of assists! Sporting Lisbon's key player, Den Kai, turns Lazio fans against their home team!

Invincible! Deng Kai leads Sporting Lisbon to three consecutive Champions League victories after his return!

Lazio's fortunes have turned against them, effectively ending the season prematurely!

A 6-2 victory ends Serie A's "Seven Sisters" era! Deng Kai's kick heralds a new era for European football!

Is that all? The Italian giants are nothing special! What's the difference between Lazio and Porto?

"Victory was assured, showcasing the style of a master coach! Triguera left the stadium ten minutes before the end of the match!"

After the match, the media swarmed in.

But they couldn't find Trigra.

They asked this question when Duncan accepted the Man of the Game award.

Deng Kai: "Mr. Triglar did not mean any disrespect to Lazio. He must have had a reason for doing so. As far as I know, he himself has a very good impression of the Lazio team."

"Perhaps he just didn't want to see Lazio eliminated from the Champions League."

Deng Kai's words excited the reporters.

If this gets out, won't Lazio fans start speculating?

The most popular head coaches right now are Maxija and Trigár.

Lazio's players are not bad. If they can bring in a top-notch coach, perhaps... they can still salvage the situation?

Lazio coach Roberto Mancini is under considerable pressure as a result.

He simply doesn't have the resources to compete with Trigá if Trigá wants to take over Lazio.

After the interview, Deng Kai asked Maxa, "Where exactly did Mr. Trigla go?"

Maxa, still harboring resentment, said, "In the toilet."

Deng Kai was taken aback: "They haven't come out yet?"

Maxa: "Earth-shattering!"

Deng Kai frowned: "Lazio drugged them? That doesn't make sense. If they were going to drug someone, shouldn't they have drugged the players?"

Maxa: "It probably wasn't Lazio who did it."

Deng Kai: "One of our own?"

Maxa gestured toward Fonte, who was handing out Assam milk tea he had made himself to his teammates: "Trigra has only been consuming this one type of food recently."

Deng Kai broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he adhered to the principle of not drinking and driving, and did not drink milk tea while playing football.

If he can't hold on on the field, wouldn't he become Ramos's role model?

"Um... this milk tea... how about... something else?" To protect Fonte's pride, Deng Kai didn't say it outright, but subtly reminded his teammates.

Cristiano Ronaldo sneered: "You can drink, but I can't? Are you trying to get special treatment? I'll drink anyway! I'll drink! I'll drink double!"

Cristiano Ronaldo snatched the milk tea from Kaká's hand.

Deng Kai smiled slightly and said, "Luo, I will always admire your stubbornness."

When the team returned to their hotel by bus, Deng Kai said he had some things to take care of and would just take a taxi by himself.

Hathaway's first installment of "The Lord of the Rings" is set to be released at the end of next month, and she's currently on a promotional tour in Europe, which includes a visit to Rome today.

Kaka looked curious and asked Deng Kai if she could come along.

He wanted to see a big scene.

Cristiano Ronaldo also wanted to go, but Deng Kai quickly refused.

Ultimately, it was reported that Sporting Lisbon's bus encountered a serious "accident" midway through the journey and had to make an emergency stop.

The players, pinching their noses, fled the car and took taxis back to the hotel.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the last to rush out, but strangely, he was wearing his number 7 jersey and shorts when he got on the bus.

But when he got off the bus, he was wearing Deng Kai's number 10 basketball shorts.

The only downside is that Lazio has attracted far too much attention this time.

So the news of Cristiano Ronaldo mysteriously changing his pants was suppressed and only circulated in Deng Kai's global fan support group.

……

"My biggest regret is signing my name on Manchester United's 1999 Champions League winning football."

This is what Stam mentioned in a post-match interview: "Because the ball is with Duncan right now. He's trying to distract me with this kind of thing on the pitch; he's so cunning."

Lazio coach Roberto Mancini: "Our players didn't perform to their potential, and this defeat is painful. But our season isn't over yet; we still have the Serie A title to fight for."

Crespo: "It's like we're under a curse. I have a hard time getting support from my teammates, which is the most troublesome thing for me during the game."

Poborsky: "I felt desperate on the pitch. I couldn't feel any help from my teammates. It was very difficult for me to get past one Sporting Lisbon player after another all by myself."

Although none of the players said it explicitly, there is no doubt that Mendieta has lost their trust.

Lazio's ironclad fans gathered after the match, burned Mendieta's jersey, and then put on Duncan's jersey, which they had temporarily bought from Sporting Lisbon fans.

They shouted into the camera, "Deng Kaicai should be the one with a net worth of 48 million euros! Let's congratulate the birth of Mr. 74 billion lire!"

Mr. Seventy-Four Billion Lira!

This was what Lazio fans called Mendieta at the beginning of the season.

This nickname originated from when Inter Milan acquired Vieri, the world's best center forward, for $50 million. Inter Milan fans excitedly declared Vieri to be a "90 billion lire man."

This number is absolutely impressive.

However, this figure also demonstrates the severity of the Italian currency's devaluation.

After arriving at Inter Milan, Vieri failed to deliver the performance expected of a world-class center forward due to injuries and team turmoil.

Coincidentally, Inter Milan later brought in Ronaldo, the new world's best center forward, but Ronaldo also failed to live up to his reputation at Inter Milan, instead suffering a series of serious injuries and playing less than 30 games in the last three years.

Add to that Mendieta now... it seems that players referred to as "lira" don't have a good ending.

For a moment, people couldn't tell whether Lazio fans were using Deng Kai to mock Mendieta, or using Mendieta to curse Deng Kai.

Many star players are also paying attention to this game.

Nedved did not gloat after parting ways with his former club: "I watched that game, it was crazy, Sporting Lisbon played a brilliant game."

"Deng Kai was like a god in that game. Every player has his signature performance, and that game might become his signature performance."

"Hopefully Lazio can bounce back in the league."

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