Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino’s royal stadium box.
There has just been a celebration here.
After the team reversed Liverpool, Florentino invited all the players to the box to celebrate.
And prepare to take everyone to have a big meal.
Of course eating is not the most important thing, but it can express Florentino's satisfaction with the players.
But everyone was about to leave, but Figo suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at the TV.
On the TV, the commentator announced excitedly: "Deng Kai! Deng Kai replaced Toure! Deng Kai really played!"
Zidane noticed Figo and stopped.
Florentino noticed that everyone seemed to be interested in this game, so he simply said: "Then let's finish the first half? It's almost over anyway."
The players looked for places to sit down.
The same thing happened in the box at Old Trafford and on the Bayern team bus.
Beckham: "Leverkusen has been underestimated. Their offensive and defensive standards have reached the level of the Champions League semi-finals!"
Keane: "If any of us were to play now, it would be difficult to change the game, right?"
Giggs: "This Leverkusen team is terribly balanced."
Effenberg: "This kid does look better, but it's too late. If he had been there in the first round, maybe something could have changed."
Kahn: "I never believe that one player can completely change the situation, even Matthaus!"
Lizarazu: "The team is the most important thing. Leverkusen is a team, but Sporting Lisbon is not."
With a whistle, the game continues.
Sporting Lisbon took a corner in the backcourt and helped Deng Kai, who was retreating, find his footing. Kaká went to the middle and Ronaldinho went to the right, invisibly switching positions with Deng Kai.
In the 43rd minute, Deng Kai caught the ball and made a pass with his back, easily passing Schneider.
boom!
Deng Kai passed to Ronaldo in front.
Ronaldo was ready to start, but Sebeczen was also ready and signaled his teammates to prepare for defense.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to force a duel, but kept playing and knocked the football back to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai glanced at the field, knocked the ball with his heel, and cleverly distributed the football to Matthäus on his right. At the same time, he pointed forward and shouted: "Through the ball, left rib!"
boom!
Matthäus didn't stop the ball and hit it straight through Leverkusen's left rib.
As soon as Ronaldo passed the ball back to Deng Kai, he started to push forward and sprinted with Sebecen.
He believed that Deng Kai would send football to the front.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who started speeding with Sebeczen, knew how he was going to run, but Sebeczen did not.
The attacker's advantage is instantly highlighted.
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly slowed down, cut inside without the ball, and went from behind Sebecen to the left periphery of the penalty area.
Central defender LaMelo, who replaced Lucio today, immediately filled in.
The ball comes, Ronaldo comes, LaMelo comes.
boom!
Ronaldo touched the ball first with his left foot, knocked the ball to the right, and continued to cut inside.
LaMelo thought Ronaldo was going to hit the bottom and pass crosswise.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always played like this before, mainly making passes, while also leaving more space for Kaká and Ronaldinho in the middle.
Unexpectedly, he was planning to go it alone this time.
Cristiano Ronaldo directly passed Ramelo.
By the time LaMelo turned around and stretched his legs to cover, Ronaldo had already caught up with the football and completed a long shot.
when!
The football hit the far post and bounced into the net.
"goal!"
"C Ronaldo! Ronaldo shows his true qualities as a killer!"
"One to zero! Sporting Lisbon brought the total score back to one goal!"
"This shot is simple and efficient! It highlights Ronaldo's explosive power and shooting skills!"
"But this is also because the position of this through ball is too good, pulling out LaMelo but keeping him out of reach, and there are many possibilities in the position, allowing Ronaldo to pose a threat from left to right.
!”
"Matthaus still maintains a very high level of playing! There are rumors that he will retire directly from Sporting Lisbon after the end of this season! But it is really a pity to retire at this level!"
"Of course, we have to see Deng Kai who instigated this goal."
"He sauntered past Schneider and made a brilliant backheel pass."
"Especially his reminder to Matthäus! The direction of Matthäus' pass was the direction of Deng Kai's finger! He saw one of the few defensive loopholes in Leverkusen's field!"
"This is the role of a top insight and commander!"
"Now, who dares to say that it doesn't matter whether Deng Kai is admitted or not?"
Huang Jianxiang boasted about my success.
He Wei's eyes almost rolled over from the side.
Can this also be blown?
Did you score a goal or assist?
Is instigation worthy of such a special mention?
Then why hasn’t UEFA created a Champions League ranking list?
Or the penultimate pass?
Outside the stadium, Sporting Lisbon's team song floated.
Sporting Lisbon fans support the team unswervingly in their own way.
The eyes of every Sporting Lisbon player are different from before.
There is no confusion in their eyes now.
…
Bernabeu box.
Zidane asked: "How about... let's order things here?"
Florentino smiled and said: "No matter which one of them advances, it's just a gift package for the top four. As for being so sleepless and forgetful of food?"
Zidane touched his slightly bald head and said: "I can't say that I forget to eat and sleep, it's just that... I have trouble sleeping and eating."
Old Trafford Stadium.
Scholes: "They're more of a unit now."
Solskjaer: "Why is it that only a few minutes have passed, but I feel like Leverkusen has become brittle?"
Ruud: "It's like a piece of paper, it can be torn apart at any time."
Soon, the game entered halftime.
Fifteen minutes later, both parties returned.
Leverkusen's players had solemn expressions on their faces, and the head coach obviously emphasized the defensive issues with them.
Let them pay more attention to the new Deng Kai.
On the Sporting Lisbon side, the players' faces were red and they had obviously drank a lot of Marquesa's chicken soup.
After the kick-off of the second half, Sporting Lisbon quickly got the ball.
In the 47th minute, Ronaldo was double-teamed on the left and lost the ball.
Schneider held the ball and was unable to counterattack, so he saw Matthäus pounce on him.
Schneider crossed to Ballack, trying to stabilize the rhythm, or Ballack could counterattack.
But Matthäus flew over and touched the football with his foot.
Football has a lot of spin.
Ballack made a mistake in stopping the ball and the ball bounced far.
Deng Kai rushed over and poked the football away, completing the steal.
Ballack immediately chased Deng Kai.
Novotny also came out and tackled Deng Kai.
Losing the ball in the backcourt is very dangerous, even if it is a foul, it must be stopped.
However, Deng Kai pulled the ball in a V-shape and avoided Nowotny's sliding tackle while also leaning on Ballack.
boom!
Deng Kai passed the ball to Drogba and blocked two people.
Drogba passed the ball to Ronaldinho with his back, then turned and inserted into the penalty area.
