Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Deng Kai is on the right flank, positioned furthest back.

Five vertical lines cover the entire longitudinal space of the stadium.

Five horizontal lines and two wave bands allow the team's offensive layers to vary randomly between two and five layers.

At this moment, the countless possible combinations were enough to bring Leverkusen's defensive players to their knees.

boom!

Kaka played a through ball to Drogba.

This is the most deadly passing route.

But Barak, who was positioned in front of Kaká during the defensive transition, made a surprising move.

He made a lateral sliding tackle, anticipating Kaká's pass and completing a superb interception.

If Sporting Lisbon's counter-attacks were meticulously planned after countless trials, then Ballack's defensive play was a flash of genius.

This time, inspiration triumphed over hard work.

"Ballack's flying tackle disrupted Kaká's pass, wait, the ball is bouncing towards Deng Kai..."

boom!

Deng Kai met the incoming ball with a powerful lob pass, sending it into the penalty area at top speed.

Moreover, he used a technique of lifting and shooting with the instep.

Make the football spin forward quickly.

Not only does this increase the speed of the football, but it also causes it to drop sharply in the latter part of the flight, interfering with the defenders' and goalkeepers' judgment of the ball's landing point.

Inside the penalty area, Ronaldo on the left wing had already begun cutting inside as Kaka played a through ball to Drogba.

Kaka's failed through ball didn't stop Ronaldo, because he saw the ball bounce towards Duncan.

Cristiano Ronaldo charged forward relentlessly, being the first to penetrate into the penalty area.

Turning his head to look at the football flying towards him, he suddenly slowed down, adjusted his pace, and prepared to lift his leg.

"Too early!" He Wei exclaimed. "Cristiano Ronaldo misjudged the ball's trajectory; he slowed down too early!"

"Or perhaps Deng Kai's pass was too deep. Ronaldo was ready in what he thought was a good shooting position, but the ball went too far."

Just as He Wei finished speaking, the football, which was originally going to fly a little further, suddenly plummeted, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

Leverkusen goalkeeper Jörg moved two or three meters out; he might be able to catch the ball directly from there.

As a result, the football plummeted, leaving him in a difficult position.

It's equivalent to a goalkeeper who has moved halfway out of position.

What do you think the consequences will be?

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo's volley shot went straight into the top corner!

"The goal! It's here! It's finally here!"

"The CD livestream that fans have been eagerly awaiting!"

"Deng Kai's first-time lobbed pass for an assist! Exquisite footwork!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible volley! His shooting skills are unparalleled!"

"The overall score is 4-2!"

Sporting Lisbon has extended their lead!

"They're incredible! Sporting Lisbon's attack is fluid and seamless! They've completely overwhelmed Bayer Leverkusen!"

As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves.

Sporting Lisbon's resurgence gave Bayer Leverkusen a bad feeling.

When someone feels they are having bad luck today, they may actually be having bad luck.

Seventy-third minute.

Ballack passes to Ze Roberto.

The latter delivered a brilliant through ball.

Berbatov combined speed and slowness, outmaneuvering Barzagli, and then used his superb footwork to get past the onrushing goalkeeper Reina while on the move!

This was his most brilliant performance in this Champions League season, bar none.

But his subsequent shot from a tight angle with his left foot hit the post and bounced out of bounds.

Berbatov covered his head, unable to believe he had missed an open goal.

But Deng Kai was used to it.

There may even be a super highlight reel about ball control in the future, with Berbatov frequently making the list. However, it's a bit of a shame that most of his follow-up shots after controlling the ball didn't hit the target.

In the area of ​​shooting off target, he is comparable to Nujiao.

On the sidelines, Sporting Lisbon made another substitution.

Yin Bu replaced Drogba, which is a routine substitution.

Fonte replaced Matthäus, Pepe played as a defensive midfielder, and Fonte played as a center-back.

This is a targeted substitution.

Matthäus was an absolute defensive stalwart today, covering a wide area and showing some of the style he had in his prime.

Both playing as defensive midfielders, Guardiola is responsible for organizing and attacking, while Matthäus is focused on defense today, which has taken a toll on him.

On the other side, Leverkusen also substituted veteran Kirsten for left wing-back Placente, switching from a five-defender formation to a full-back attack, preparing for a final push.

Kirsten is also a famous veteran in Germany. He won the Bundesliga Golden Boot three times in the 1990s and was the main striker for the German national team from 1992 to 2000. He played for Bayer Leverkusen for many years.

There's a lot of unpredictable stuff going on when it comes to player replacements.

Many goals scored and conceded occur within three minutes of a substitution.

In the 76th minute, Deng Kai made a brilliant pass to Ronaldinho, who created a free kick in a relatively far position.

Deng Kai will take the penalty.

boom!

Deng Kai sent the free kick into the penalty area, but Zivkovic cleared the ball to the left wing.

Kaka quickly rushed to the sideline and won the first landing point.

"Here!" Deng Kai approached Kaka, reaching out for the ball, but then blinked.

Kaka understood immediately.

As he approached the ball, he made a move to pass it back to Deng Kai on the left, but his right foot stepped over the ball, landing on the left side of the ball before suddenly flicking it to the right!

Dribble the ball down to the baseline!

LaMelo, who was behind Kaka, misjudged the situation and got stuck on Kaka's left side. As a result, Kaka turned right and went to the byline, instantly shaking him off.

boom!

Kaka crossed the ball!

From the moment the ball was cleared to Kaká's pass, it all happened in a flash. Many players in the penalty area were trying to block each other and didn't have time to jump.

boom!

Yin Bu's feet were firmly planted on the ground, and like a tall tower, he flicked his head and smashed the football into the goal.

There was no jump at all!

His height of 1.95 meters became the sole reason for the goal at that moment.

With a wave of his hands, Yin Bu turned and rushed towards the corner flag area to celebrate.

The other players followed Yin Bu's lead, their faces breaking into smiles.

"Goal! They're on fire! Sporting Lisbon has been transformed, everyone's a fighter!"

"Yin Bu scored a goal in the third minute after coming on as a substitute!"

"Five to zero! Who could have predicted this score before the match?"

"We're watching a truly magical match!"

"Sporting Lisbon leads by three goals, Bayer Leverkusen faces their darkest moment!"

Huang Jianxiang, with tears in his eyes, said, "The scene replays: Kaka looks at Deng Kai, and Deng Kai winks at him... Oh! Their teamwork is amazing! It was this request that gave Kaka, who originally had little chance, an absolute opportunity."

"Leverkusen paid the price for overemphasizing Duncan! But considering that Sporting Lisbon scored five goals after Duncan came on, it seems that emphasizing Duncan no matter what is appropriate."

He Wei shook his head from the side.

blow!

Just keep bragging!

You, Celtics, failed to get the ball but ended up doing a great service, right?

The camera kept focusing on Barak and Ze Roberto.

A hint of sadness has appeared in the eyes of the Leverkusen duo.

I have a feeling.

It's too difficult to salvage the relationship.

There was no longer any hope for the competition.

The two looked at Deng Kai in tacit agreement.

As it happened, the abyss was also gazing upon them.

[P.S.: I spent half the afternoon installing motorized curtains and just finished writing this. They're pretty good at catching cicadas. I bought two sets of motors and tracks for 700 yuan, exactly the same as the ones in physical stores that cost 800 yuan a set. Physical stores really rip people off when it comes to curtains.]

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