Reporter: "Then if Sporting Lisbon meets Juventus next, will you avenge Lazio?"
Nedved: "Whether it is as a former Lazio player or as a Juventus player, I will beat our next opponent. It is of course better to meet Deng Kai, because we don't want to meet Real Madrid or Bayern too early .”
Bayern midfielder Sauer: "It's hard to believe that Deng Kai actually paid tribute to my free kick in an important game. I thought no one could do it except me."
"I like this kind of tribute. Deng Kai must be a fan of mine. This makes me feel the responsibility as a football idol! I know Deng Kai's habits, so if he wants my autographed football, I can send it to him. .”
Deng Kai, who had dinner with the Lord of the Rings crew and returned to the team, responded: "Thank you very much for Sauer's kindness, but I don't really need his signed footballs now. I have too many Guardiola footballs... "
"This kind of signed football that is not in demand has little value. If Sauer really wants to thank me, can you help me find Kahn and Effenberg to replenish the goods?"
"After we won the European Super Cup, I didn't ask for more considering they didn't look too good. But their signed footballs are really in demand, especially Kahn's!"
Sauer immediately blocked Deng Kai.
The outside world has made a big deal about Sporting Lisbon's appearance in the top 16 of the Champions League.
The local Portuguese media did their part to praise every player.
Among them, there are many news headlines praising Kaka.
Coupled with Kaka's good image and temperament, he also successfully used this game to become another young star of Sporting Lisbon. He began to be recognized by fans and paid attention to by other teams.
"One shot, two passes!" Brazilian star Kaká finally starts to shine! 》
"DK group is established!" Kaka reminds people of Viana last season! 》
"Marquesa: Kaka's talent is unexpected. He and Viana are not exactly the same type of players. He can do things that Viana cannot. 》
"Marquesa: In traditional Chinese culture, the greatest people are often called sons, and Deng Kai's performance in this game was like this. I would like to call him - Kaizi! 》
Deng Kai:? ? ?
In this way, many people in Lisbon respectfully called him "Kaizi" after seeing Deng Kai.
But Deng Kai was "extremely happy".
The day after the game, the entire Champions League top 16 was announced.
UEFA conducted its second grouping.
This year is the last year of the Champions League’s two-round group stage system.
Next year's top 16 will be a direct knockout match.
But this year, the sixteen-to-eight competition will still be held in groups.
There are four teams in each group, divided into four groups. The top two in the group appear and become the top eight of the Champions League, and then they fight against each other.
In this way, each team will play six games, which is four more than playing directly against each other.
Although there is also some more ticket revenue, this is a pure burden for teams with greater ideals and ambitions.
And for fans, two rounds of group matches are too cumbersome. They usually just chase the league. Too many Champions League games will make everyone exhausted and their wallets will be unbearable.
Perhaps the only benefit of this format is that it allows UEFA to sell more than 30 more games in sponsorship and commission.
With the announcement of the second round of group groups, European football is abuzz.
Countless people mourned Sporting Lisbon.
"France Football": "It can be seen that Sporting Lisbon was punished for questioning the referee last year. Their signing this year is really poor!"
"Kicker": "If Sporting Lisbon encountered a death group with one super team and many strong players in the first round of the group stage, then in this round of group stage, they encountered a truly desperate situation with three super players and one weak opponent!"
"Sky Sports": "For Arsenal fans, this is another form of derby. Because Deng Kai is the one who helped the Red Devils and Manchester United win the Triple Crown!"
"Daily Sports": "Guardiola, who was reduced to a substitute at Barcelona, could become the starting midfielder when he went to Sporting Lisbon. It was a complete accident that this team defeated Barcelona last season. This time, Barcelona will go on a killing spree. !”
"Torino Sports News": "It is a shame for Lazio to lose to Sporting Lisbon, which brings shame to the entire Serie A. The Portuguese even uttered wild words that Serie A has declined. So this time, it is time for Sporting Lisbon to see the best of Serie A. A strong team is awesome!”
Yes, Sporting Lisbon was really unlucky this time.
Their opponents in the second stage of the group stage are Arsenal, Barcelona, and Juventus!
"Record": "To use dishes to describe Sporting Lisbon is disrespectful of the facts. Facing Serie A teams, Sporting Lisbon has defeated Inter Milan and Lazio. Juventus is indeed strong, but it will not make people despair."
"Not to mention Barcelona. Sporting Lisbon beat them last year, and it's still possible this year!"
"Only Arsenal is a strong opponent that Sporting Lisbon has not encountered yet, but being able to defeat Liverpool also shows that Sporting Lisbon is qualified to think about the Champions League quarter-finals!"
The Record's expression was quoted by major media outlets and then became a laughing stock.
The media in other regions of Europe, which had previously been very supportive of Deng Kai and Sporting Lisbon, instantly turned their backs and disowned them.
For a long time, people have had the misconception that the European media is like receiving money from Deng Kai. They speak for him crazily and are always very cooperative with him.
But now, the reason is revealed.
That's just because Deng Kai and Sporting Lisbon are not really on the same competitive level as mainstream teams.
So everyone is very tolerant of Sporting Lisbon.
And now, Sporting Lisbon has really entered the fierce competition for the Champions League, which everyone pays special attention to, and the media of these teams and regions have begun to say bad things to each other.
Among them, the English media changed its face the fastest.
They even dug up dirt on Sporting Lisbon in advance, hoping to weaken their opponents off the court and ensure Arsenal's qualification.
Fleet Street No Lines lives up to its reputation.
"Guardian": "This is not a matter of revisiting the past, but a question of how far a dictatorial team can go."
The accompanying picture shows Ronaldinho coming out of the Alcochet base.
This means that even an excellent player like Ronaldinho will have no choice but to enter the reserve team if he does not cooperate with Deng Kai's rule.
The topic exploded in England instantly.
The people of England would not tolerate a dictator.
They constantly criticized Deng Kai's character.
Until Sporting Lisbon officially released a photo of Ronaldinho and all the reserve team players with the following text: "Thank you Ronaldinho for his contribution to the reserve team in the past month or so. He took us from fourth in the league to the league First."
"Today is his last group photo with us, because he will return to the first team tomorrow!"
