Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Farewell Ceremony? Sporting Lisbon Supermarket to Open Soon?

Deng Kai bids farewell to 80,000 fans; Sporting Lisbon may be dismantled across Europe after the season ends!

A magnificent farewell! Sporting Lisbon gathers 80,000 fans to celebrate the season's successful conclusion ahead of schedule!

Wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's not over yet! Sporting Lisbon declares themselves champions!

Alvalade's Oath! Deng Kai calls on the entire team to make a solemn vow to challenge for the Champions League title!

Champions League! Our goal is the Champions League! Duncan Duncan leads Sporting Lisbon to aim for Hampden Park!

"The culmination of the youth storm is the Champions League! 100,000 Lisbon fans participate in the Alvalade Oath! Declaring war on everyone in the world who thinks this is impossible!"

Sporting Lisbon's 7-0 victory has sent the entire team into a frenzy! The semi-finals aren't enough for Deng Kai! He wants the St. Borussia Mönchengladbach Cup!

Portugal thrashes Bayer Leverkusen 7-0! Deng Kai's triumphant return is unstoppable!

crazy!

Everyone who saw this news for the first time had only one thought in their mind: Sporting Lisbon has gone mad.

Deng Kai has gone mad!

But when they saw the live footage broadcast by the media, they hesitated.

The Oath of Alvalad!

Earth-shattering!

Their overwhelming presence actually made viewers start to wonder if this team could truly become the Champions League champions.

For a dark horse team, achieving this is already a success.

That night, countless people in Europe couldn't sleep.

……

Madrid, Spain.

Zidane sat in his study and opened the book that Deng Kai had given him in return after he sent him the first autographed football – the I Ching.

"The ninth line at the top: The dragon soaring too high will regret it."

"Things will inevitably turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes! Those in high positions must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, know when to advance and when to retreat, and temporarily avoid the limelight."

Zidane frowned.

Turn to the next page.

"Nine in the fifth place: The flying dragon is in the sky; it is advantageous to see a great man!"

Zidane slowly closed the book, pondering for a long time: "Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid... So, who is the soaring dragon, and who is the flying dragon?"

……

Manchester, England.

Ferguson returned home to find his family watching the football news.

His wife came over and took the briefcase from his hand, saying, "Have you read the Oath of Alvalad?"

"That child's spirit is just like yours."

Ferguson asked, somewhat puzzled, "What?"

Ferguson's wife said, "You always tell us you're going to kick Liverpool off that damn throne! And he's doing the same thing, isn't he?"

Ferguson looked at the television, and a few minutes later he replied to his wife, "Yes, but I'm one of the players he's going to kick."

Ferguson's wife laughed: "Well, he really isn't very bright."

Ferguson laughed too: "They said the same thing about me back then..."

Ferguson looked out the window: "But I did it...and...what about you?"

……

Munich, Germany.

Then-manager Franz Beckenbauer was pressed by reporters: "How does Bayern Munich view Sporting Lisbon's championship declaration? Will the 'Alvalade Vow' affect Bayern's mentality in the league and the Champions League?"

Beckenbauer shook his head: "We are not Barcelona. We won't lose to the same team twice in the same season, especially in European competition!"

"Congratulations to Sporting Lisbon on a wonderful victory, but..."

"Our biggest rivals are Manchester United or Real Madrid."

……

the next day.

The Champions League semi-final groups have been determined.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich!

Manchester United vs Sporting Lisbon!

England erupted in cheers!

"Perhaps a day ago, I would have said this was a good draw. Even after Sporting Lisbon's 7-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, I would still have said that, but now..."

"If you've seen the Oath of Alvalade, you know this is a team of gold. Their determination is enough to change everything, and I'm very worried about Manchester United right now!"

"In terms of momentum, I think Sporting Lisbon is no less formidable than Manchester United. As for the schedule... if they win their next two league matches, they will successfully defend their Portuguese league title before the first leg of the European semi-final!"

"This is another huge boost for them!"

"And Manchester United's only advantage might be that they no longer need to worry about winning the league title, because this season belongs to Arsenal!"

"Actually, Manchester United still has a huge advantage. I favor Manchester United. Sporting Lisbon has no experience in the Champions League semi-finals. And the Champions League semi-finals are completely different from previous matches."

"Honestly, I'm proud of Duncan and the Sporting Lisbon players. But equally, I think Manchester United will undoubtedly make it to the final; they're not in the same league."

"Every Manchester United fan knows about Duncan's relationship with us. Now it's Manchester United versus Manchester United's reserve team. Who do you think will win? Have you ever seen a club's reserve team beat the first team?"

"Sporting Lisbon will be welcomed by the fans when they arrive at Old Trafford, but they will also leave with three points."

"Manchester United will finish the game right here at Old Trafford, and we'll make the second leg at Alvalade a consolation performance. It's better for everyone that way."

The English showed unprecedented friendliness.

This kind of attitude is rarely seen in the history of Champions League semi-final matches.

The Oath of Alvalad played a significant role in this.

My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!

A tough stance, unwavering determination, and formidable strength are essential conditions for earning respect.

Sporting Lisbon has all three.

The atmosphere here is so heated that the discussion surrounding the Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich showdown next door is far less intense than expected.

Keep in mind, these are Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The former is last year's Champions League winner.

The latter was the Champions League winner two years ago.

The former has reached the Champions League semi-finals for four consecutive years!

The latter has reached the semi-finals four times in the past five years and won the Champions League twice!

Fans of the former said, "The Champions League semi-finals are our home!"

Fans of the latter said that the Champions League belongs to Real Madrid in even-numbered years and to others in odd-numbered years!

They're all top-notch rappers, oops... top-notch teams!

They took over but still couldn't beat Manchester United's first team vs. second team.

It has to be said that this is the first time Real Madrid has lost out in terms of popularity and buzz since the formation of the Galácticos.

In response, Florentino Pérez stated that he never wanted to play a semi-final against Bayern Munich again.

The guy who drags us down.

The popularity is terrible.

However, Florentino is not worried.

He has more big plans in store.

This summer, he wants to put all the world's attention on the Bernabéu.

The greatest superstar of our time will be here!

Ronaldo!

Besides Florentino, another wealthy player is also considering signing players for the team at this moment, namely Yi Jianlian's prince, Mansour.

Last year he made a major decision.

His decision has now been almost proven correct.

Manchester City Football Club, acquired by a company led by him and with Deng Kai as the second largest shareholder, is currently ranked first in the League One standings.

Even if they slip up and don't win the League One title, promotion to the Premier League is practically a done deal.

This, of course, includes Mansour's monetary incentive policies.

This tactic really works for the players.

It works very well, at least in the short term.

He fulfilled his promise, and even did better than he promised Deng Kai.

But to his surprise, he only managed to complete the task with 120% or 130% success despite possessing enormous wealth and having no one to advise him.

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