The two sides then returned to their respective halves and Leverkusen kicked off.
Leverkusen, who was desperate to win, launched multiple attacks in succession, but Sporting Lisbon's defense withstood the test.
Especially Barzagli and Vidic, who kicked with their heads and made many consecutive clearances.
Although Fonte is watery, he is tall.
Facing the hungry Leverkusen who frequently launched attacks with low passes, Font and Vidic even set up a no-fly zone, which was terrifying!
In the 83rd minute, after Fonte made a header to clear the ball, Pepe launched a counterattack with a long pass.
Ronaldo ran too fast and failed to stop the ball, which wasted a lot of time, so he passed the ball back to Kaka.
Kaka crosses the ball to find Ronaldinho.
Deng Kai made a forward move and headed into the penalty area.
Ronaldinho took advantage of the defensive player's distraction and passed the ball straight to the front point.
Ibrahimovic rushed forward.
But Zivkovic was one step ahead and stuck Ibrahimovic behind him.
Zivkovic wanted to wait for the football to get off the line.
But Ibrahimovic put too much pressure on him and he couldn't hold it anymore.
In the end, Zivkovic chose to turn around and kick the football towards Ibrahimovic, intending to let the football bounce out of bounds and ask for a goal kick to gain a valuable ball for the team.
This operation is a bonus, but... not safe enough.
For example, in Sporting Lisbon's own penalty area, if Fonte did this, he would definitely be criticized by Deng Kai, Triguera and others after the game.
Everyone hopes that Fonte can directly make a clearance, even if it is a corner kick.
Don't take any chances.
Zivkovic's level is definitely much higher than Fonte, but after the whole game, he has seriously declined in both physical fitness and mental state.
therefore……
Zivkovic turned around and kicked the ball.
The football hit Ibrahimovic's calf and did not rebound directly. Instead, it rubbed against the calf and changed direction, rolling straight towards the feet of Deng Kai, who had just rushed into the small penalty area.
Deng Kai raised his leg and pushed lightly.
Used a passing kick.
Because the football came so quickly and it was an unexpected situation, he had almost no room to think.
The next moment, the football rolled into the goal.
this……
"It's in again! It's in again!"
"This time it was Deng Kai who finally scored!"
"Zivkovic, Ibrahimovic, and Deng Kai hit the wall continuously and cooperated to pass the football into Leverkusen's goal."
"This was Zivkovic's mistake!"
"Six to zero! Sporting Lisbon seals the victory!"
"In this way, the strongest dark horse of this season has been revealed."
"Leverkusen failed to win the championship, Sporting Lisbon reversed at home and rejected NTR!"
Eighty-eighth minute of the game.
Pepe and Vidic succeeded in strangling Kirsten in front of the penalty area.
Pepe passed the ball to Fonte. Fonte looked at the unobstructed prairie and took the ball to advance on the left wing.
It was obviously a kick.
To be fair, the few times he dribbled the ball were quite good.
But that's a big lead.
Whenever the game gets a little more intense, he won't be able to stop the ball.
Fonte carried the ball until half-court before passing it to Deng Kai, who ran over to receive the ball.
But just when Fonte was about to turn back, Deng Kai reached out and scratched in front of him while catching the ball, signaling Fonte to continue moving forward.
If you switch to traditional central defenders like Vidic and Barzagli, they will definitely be confused.
I doubt that this is too different from the tactical requirements and the playing habits of the central defender.
But Fonte's command of Deng Kai... hesitating for even half a second showed that he was not pious enough.
Fonte immediately ran diagonally from the front of Deng Kai towards the middle.
Deng Kai turned around and passed the ball back to Pepe. He avoided Ballack's attack and moved away at the same time.
Pepe passed the ball directly back without stopping.
Ballack realized something, because he knew that after he robbed Deng Kai, there would be a gap behind him.
It seemed that a tall man had passed by him just now. If he continued running, he might be able to seize that gap.
Barak ran towards Deng Kai desperately.
but……
boom!
Deng Kai half-turned and quickly passed and shot!
The football flew out first.
Ibrahimovic stirred things up in the frontcourt, and the top of the arc in the penalty area was completely vacated.
Fonte heard a bang from behind and turned around to see the football flying over after him.
Font immediately turned around and was fully prepared to stop the ball.
He Wei at the broadcast desk was speechless at the time: "This Fonte... is too bad! With his back to the goal like this, even if he stops the football, he cannot create any threat."
"It's a matter of basic skills. He can't handle the high-altitude ball coming from behind without turning around."
"If you switch to Dimitar Berbatov or Ronaldinho from Sporting Lisbon, the ball will definitely stop beautifully!"
"And you can immediately create a threat if you stop!"
boom!
Font chest catches the ball.
Novotny was already stuck behind him.
As Matthaus's successor, Nowotny is very similar to Matthaus, that is... not tall.
Fonte, on the other hand, is a serious figure and stands 1.9 meters tall without his shoes.
Nowotny exerted force behind Fonte. Fonte was affected and stopped the ball in his chest and missed the ball.
The football kind of bounced to the left.
this……
Font leaned back, used Nowotny's strength to complete a half-turn, and blasted out with his right foot.
Uh-huh!
The football hit the dead center of the goal!
"GOAL! World Wave! José Fonte hit a super World Wave!"
"Nice turn and volley!"
"Stop the ball with your chest, turn around and volley! It's so strong!"
"You know, Fonte is a central defender!"
"Oh! That's it! Audience friends, Fonte is indeed not simple!"
"He played as a center forward under Maxa in his early years and performed brilliantly!"
"Marquesa has a keen eye for pearls and uses his troops like a god! Fonte is an all-round defender and center forward!"
"Seven to zero! Sporting Lisbon's epic victory over its opponent!"
"The total score in the two rounds between the two sides is 7 to 2. Sporting Lisbon advances to the semi-finals of the Champions League! One black game to the end!"
In the court, Fonte looked at Deng Kai, asked Kai Shao to run together, and then performed a siuuuuu!
Synchronized shouts from fans were also heard outside the stadium: "Siuuuuu!"
When the game ended, all Sporting Lisbon players rushed into the stadium to celebrate this exciting super victory.
The Leverkusen players all collapsed on the lawn, crying uncontrollably.
They seemed...to lose everything.
From 2-0 to 2-7, they experienced a nightmare.
Ballack's eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to leave something to Leverkusen.
but now……
"Hey, can you exchange jerseys?" Deng Kai walked towards Ballack.
The latter took off his jersey while crying.
The two exchanged jerseys and hugged each other.
"This is not necessarily a bad thing, Ballack." Deng Kai said in Ballack's ear, "Focus more on the German Cup and the league. No matter what, you should win the championship trophy this year!"
"Because of your performance this year, you deserve to win any championship!"
