Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Within half an hour, the photo went viral throughout Europe.

The photo has been photoshopped.

In the dark player tunnel of Alvalade, a figure walked against the light, appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

However, his identity is not difficult to determine from his silhouette and hairstyle.

The image title is "Triumphant Return!"

Kicker: "Sporting Lisbon releases false information? Dr. Wohlfahrt once again analyzes from a medical perspective three reasons why Deng Kai's injury is unlikely to heal!"

Bild: "Could Duncan return? Sporting Lisbon drops a bombshell!"

Sky Sports: "Sporting Lisbon still doesn't understand that even if Duncan were to play, Leverkusen would still have a better chance of winning!"

France Football: "Ballack in an interview: I'm not concerned about any changes in player information from Sporting Lisbon!"

Daily Sports: "A triumphant return? First of all, Deng Kai is not a king. Secondly, it's unlikely he'll make a comeback!"

Marca: "Real Madrid doesn't care who wins between Sporting Lisbon and Bayer Leverkusen, but Ronaldo and Ballack will be backup options if their signings fail!"

The Manchester Evening News: "Ferguson says Ronaldo shouldn't be overlooked; he'll be a key factor in the next round! It's time for him to move to a platform where he can get more attention!"

Various media outlets have made their own speculations.

In the afternoon, Sporting Lisbon finally revealed the answer.

Deng Kai's name was prominently featured on the roster.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a starting player.

Sporting Lisbon's starting lineup is:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba

Kaka, Ronaldinho, Toure

Matthäus, Guardiola

Pepe, Vidic, Barzagli

Reina.

Many Sporting Lisbon fans were excited.

"Kai is back! Really?"

"That's too fast! The whole world was saying he wouldn't be able to return in April, and it's only April 9th!"

"I heard that Wolverhampton wants to find someone to contact Deng Kai to work together on a project about sports medicine and recovery."

"There are rumors that Deng Kai was misdiagnosed, and that he didn't actually have such a serious injury."

"Aren't we being a little too optimistic? What if Kai doesn't play?"

"Kai is the team's anchor. Perhaps he came to the bench despite being injured to give his teammates confidence?"

"Yeah, I also thought Kai wouldn't play, but I'm still satisfied."

"Kevin is a true hero; he stands with the team through thick and thin! Even in defeat, he faces it together with the team!"

"Kai is so awesome! What a pity, such a pity. If he hadn't been injured, Sporting Lisbon would definitely have gotten past Bayer Leverkusen."

"Haha, the Sporting Lisbon fans upstairs are making me laugh so hard I'm crying. Do you really think Leverkusen is easy? This team has been ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings for months this season, you know!"

"The Leverkusen fan upstairs is hilarious! Didn't you know that Sporting Lisbon thrashed Bayern at the start of the season? Beating your Leverkusen would be a piece of cake, right? Leverkusen is being overshadowed by Bayern now, isn't he? And you're bragging about that?"

"I suggest that fans of the pharmaceutical company go and have fun on their own official media, instead of stirring up trouble on our Portuguese sports media."

"I'd like to too, but our pharmaceutical company hasn't joined Dongqiudi yet, has it?"

"Then hurry up and join! There are now more than 30 football clubs across Europe on Dongqiudi. You won't feel a sense of belonging if you don't join."

"Ding! You have been banned from posting by Sporting Lisbon administrators for three days. Please post in another section."

"Ding! Your chat ban has been lifted by the Sporting Lisbon administrator."

"Bro, feeling a sense of belonging yet? Go and encourage your fans to join sooner or later! Joining now will get you fan badges and points!"

……

Alvalade Stadium, April 9th, evening.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals has officially begun.

Earlier, the other teams had already decided their winners.

Manchester United won 3-2 in the second leg, defeating Deportivo La Coruña twice over two legs to advance to the semi-finals!

Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home, with Figo and Zidane exchanging goals and assists, and unsurprisingly came from behind to advance to the semi-finals!

Barcelona suffered a crushing defeat at home to Bayern Munich.

Quaresma was specifically marked and had little impact throughout the game.

Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 4-2, advancing to the Champions League semi-finals on away goals!

Barcelona paid the price for their empty home stadium.

Sporting Lisbon, which had been actively seeking solutions to the empty stadium problem, finally joined the Bayer Leverkusen players on the pitch.

"Hello everyone, I'm Huang Jianxiang, and sitting next to me is my partner He Wei." Huang Jianxiang looked a little downcast because the important guest commentator they had invited was unable to make it due to a major traffic jam on the highway.

Therefore, we had to find available narrators from other departments.

As a result, only He Wei, who was sidelined, had time.

This person doesn't understand "Kai Studies," and Huang Jianxiang doesn't have much in common with him.

"Hello everyone, I'm He Wei. Let me introduce Bayer Leverkusen's starting lineup."

"The two strikers are Neuville and Berbatov. The former is a fast horse with great speed. The latter is a lazy dog, but his support ability is not weak and his footwork is quite good."

"The midfield trio consists of Ze Roberto, Ballack, and Schneider. The first two need no introduction; they are Bayer Leverkusen's super duo, and rumors suggest they might both join Bayern Munich!"

"Schneider previously played for Eintracht Frankfurt, and it was Schneider who provided the assist for Yang Chen's first Bundesliga goal."

"The five defenders, from left to right, are Placente, Zivkovic, Nowotny, Ramelo, and Sebezen."

Goalkeeper Hans Jörg Butt.

"Leverkusen's defensive linchpin Lucio is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, which will have some impact on their defense. However, their 5-3-2 formation and two goals will be enough to guarantee Leverkusen's advancement to the semi-finals."

Huang Jianxiang stood there speechless.

It would have been fine if you hadn't added the last sentence.

Why bother?

Sure enough, the director immediately criticized He Wei through the in-ear monitor, because many viewers had called to complain.

They said He Wei's statement might be correct, but it sounded uncomfortable and ominous.

He Wei was furious and had fifty yuan deducted from his salary this month.

As expected, Deng Kai was on the bench for Sporting Lisbon.

He has been using Yunnan Baiyao Ok Bandage ever since he was injured.

The injury is healing at an accelerated pace.

It will take about forty minutes for the injury to fully recover.

drop!

With a whistle, the game began.

Sporting Lisbon launched the first attack.

Ronaldinho, Guardiola, and Kaká executed a series of passes, culminating in Guardiola's diagonal pass to Kaká, who received the ball, flicked it, and fired a shot.

Unfortunately, Leverkusen's center-back Nowotny was bold and meticulous, and directly went down to block the shot.

"Beautiful defense!" He Wei exclaimed. "Novoteni truly lives up to his reputation as Matthäus' successor; his defense was impeccable. He completely anticipated Kaká's shot!"

Director: ...

He Wei's salary will be reduced by another fifty!

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