Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Barak cried even harder.

He nodded heavily and hugged Deng Kai again.

Then he left the field with his teammates.

As the game ended, the reporters went wild, trying to get more inside information from the players about the sudden turn of events.

Ze Roberto: "I don't know what happened, nobody knows what happened. Everything changed when Duncan came onto this pitch. He didn't seem to do much, but it was like he did everything."

Ballack: "Dunkai is the best midfielder I've ever played, yes, I can say that... He earned my respect with his impeccable performance. I wish him all the best in leading his team to another Champions League title this season!"

Berbatov: "I regret missing the crucial goal. Sporting Lisbon seized more opportunities; they found their rhythm today and could score no matter what they did."

Schneider: "Yang Chen won. He told me that if Deng Kai played, he would definitely help Sporting Lisbon win. I thought he was joking at the time, but now it seems that he just knows his compatriot well enough."

Bayer Leverkusen coach Klaus Topmüller: "If Lucio hadn't been suspended, this game might have been different. None of our players performed poorly, but the problem was that Sporting Lisbon had too many players who overperformed."

"One or two goals might be an accident, but when Fonte scores, we have to look beyond the surface... Duncan has changed this team; he has made miracles more frequent."

"This is the key quality that all top midfielders need to possess!"

As a key figure repeatedly mentioned by Leverkusen players, Deng Kai is surrounded by a huge crowd.

Reporter: "You led the team to an incredible 7-0 victory. Did you ever imagine how crazy that was?"

Deng Kai: "No one could have predicted this score. I must thank my teammates and coaches; they prepared everything for the victory!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting is world-class; he always manages to score crucial goals when the team needs them most!"

"Ronaldinho's breakthroughs are incredibly strong. I can't think of anyone who can stop him. He creates countless opportunities for us."

"Drogba's performance today was amazing, but I know he may not be showing his full potential; he still has untapped potential!"

"Kaka is a player who can perfectly combine skill and intelligence; he always seems to have a telepathic connection with you!"

"Fonte? Fonte is a gem of a player, you can't even imagine what he's brought to this team! Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, boiled pork slices... I mean, he does everything so well!"

……

After the match, major media outlets released press releases, broadcasting this epic victory to the world.

Deng Kai makes a triumphant return! He came on as a substitute for 40 minutes, contributing one assist and two goals, earning him the Man of the Match award!

In the name of the core! The true core returns, Deng Kai leads Sporting Lisbon to a 7-0 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen!

Sporting Lisbon defeats Bayer Leverkusen to advance to the Champions League semi-finals! Deng Kai orchestrates a dramatic seven-goal comeback!

Ballack: After being eliminated from the Champions League, I thought I had lost everything, but Duncan told me I could focus on the Bundesliga and the German Cup! This gave me renewed motivation!

Six goals in the second half—what magic did Maximo Márquez use in the locker room?

Maxa: We didn't have any tactical communication during halftime; I just told the players to listen to Kai in everything!

Fonte: "It felt amazing to score, but Kai's direction was key. He can help any player score if he wants to, anything!"

After the match, the Sporting Lisbon players did not leave the stadium, but went to the stands outside.

The team gathered all the fans from the four stands into the main entrance area.

The scene was crowded.

Even Sporting Lisbon's title parade last season probably didn't have this kind of spectacle.

Because the championship parade was held on a long street, the people were relatively dispersed.

Here, things are very concentrated.

With the news that the team has reached the Champions League semi-finals, even more fans are heading there.

The number of people at the scene has exceeded 60,000.

Generally, after playing at home, especially after winning, the players will thank the fans under the guidance of the coach.

Some of the better ones even go around the stadium to thank every fan.

But Sporting Lisbon's use of the previously erected stands to gather and thank the fans here truly gave the feeling that the season had ended perfectly ahead of schedule.

Reaching the Champions League semi-finals is something Sporting Lisbon has never dared to dream of in recent years.

Take a look back at the Champions League semi-finalists from the past few years and see what level of teams they were.

What makes Sporting Lisbon worthy of sharing such glory?

This scene deeply moved the club's senior management present today.

They even suggested that they take advantage of the situation and have a real "championship parade" level celebration!

Since we're already here, why not make a big celebration?

There were so many media outlets present, the atmosphere was great.

However, because they hadn't prepared in advance, they lacked a good emcee.

Not stage fright.

Good at speaking.

He can brag.

It can stir up people's emotions.

Ideally, they should also have a certain standing in the industry.

Maxa: ? ? ?

Maxa: I felt a call from the depths of my DNA!

Ultimately, the higher-ups decided to let Maxa take the lead and organize things.

Surprisingly, Maxa actually did it.

In less than five minutes after he took the stage, he not only gave the fans a well-organized overview, but also covered Sporting Lisbon's history, its recent decline, its efforts in youth training, its resurgence since last year, and its outlook for the future.

Countless fans at the scene were moved to tears.

The team's management was shocked.

This……

Maxa's personal assistant was not surprised by this outcome.

After all, I've been memorizing these things for over three years.

Three years!

They're already taking the college entrance exam!

How much technical and tactical skill can youth players learn in these three years?

How many tactics and combinations did Trigla study?

How many team and individual honors has Deng Kai received?

Is it difficult for a man like Maxi to memorize a few articles praising the emperor?

However, this is not all that was inside Maxa's stomach.

Maxi has never stopped making apologies after losses, issuing statements to shirk responsibility for the defeats, and making statements that are actually just attempts to shift blame while pretending to protect the players.

You must not become rusty just because you don't have many opportunities to use it.

After all, no one can say for sure what the future holds.

At least today, Maxi had prepared a profound apology, including but not limited to statements like, "Deng Kai chose to play through injury for the team. Although it was beyond saving, his determination and camaraderie deserve to be remembered by everyone. How can we bear to blame such a leader?"

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