"Hello, viewers, this is Zhuan'er TV! I am your good friend Huang Jianxiang!"
"Hello everyone, my name is He Wei."
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhan Jun."
"Today is May 22, 2004. The picture before us is from the Ulivi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, where the UEFA Cup final is about to begin."
"The venue is already full of fans."
"The maximum capacity of this stadium is 50,000, and according to rumors, there will be more than 60,000 fans in the stands today."
"UEFA has temporarily expanded the stadium seats, of course, everything is done with safety guarantees in place."
"Both sides fighting today are champions."
"This year's La Liga champion Valencia is wearing white jerseys! They broke out from the siege of Galacticos and Barcelona."
"Wearing sky blue jerseys is this year's King of England, Manchester City! They have won all the championships in England this year, including the Premier League!"
"If they win this championship, they will become the second five-time UEFA Cup winner after Sporting Lisbon in twenty years!"
"And the creator of Sporting Lisbon's five crowns is Manchester City's current team leader...Deng Kai!"
“I don’t have the same perspective as a lot of people.”
"Most people believe that the Sporting Lisbon miracle of that year belonged to Deng Kai, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Ronaldinho, Drogba, Ibrahimovic and other stars."
"After all, Deng Kai always said this when he was interviewed."
"But I always think that Deng Kai is too modest."
"I firmly believe that Deng Kai was the soul of the original Sporting Lisbon team! Just like he is now at Manchester City! He is a high-profile player and low-key person, which makes his contribution underestimated by the world!"
"At this moment, Deng Kai standing on the court undoubtedly proves my point."
"Otherwise, why isn't Ronaldo standing here? Why not Ronaldinho? Why not Kaká? Why not Drogba?"
He Wei couldn't stand Huang Jianxiang's boasting, so he interjected: "Drogba will play in the Champions League final in three days."
The implication... If you are so strong, why don't you play in the Champions League?
"Haha, the camera has come to the auditorium. There are many important guests today!" Zhan Jun smoothed things over, "This is the family and friends area. Hathaway and Keira attended together. They sat together and talked. We laugh, just like we are good friends.”
"Beckham's wife Victoria is also here. This is a team of football star wives!"
"Don't Hathaway know that Keira is her love rival?"
"The Sun has always suspected that Deng Kai and Kayla had a super-friendly relationship, but there was no evidence."
Huang Jianxiang was speechless. This was CTV without cover, bah, five sets, not a tabloid: "Well, Zhan Jun, please read some roadside tabloids. We who do news must pay attention to authenticity."
"There are also many players' relatives and friends who came to the scene. We can roughly judge by their appearance, because some players look very much like their parents."
"The camera showed a few yellow-skinned fans...this is...this is the family of Deng Kai and Sun Jihai! Yes, yes, I even interviewed them!"
"There are also players such as Hao Junmin and Yu Shihao who played in Sporting Lisbon. They are now playing for the Sporting Lisbon first team and have achieved second place for the team this season."
"You know, their opponent is Porto who has reached the Champions League final."
"Hey, is that Ronaldo sitting next to Deng Kai's parents?"
"Yes, when Cristiano Ronaldo was playing in Sporting Lisbon's youth training, he stayed at Deng Kai's house. He has a very good relationship with Deng Kai's parents, and the two families often move around during holidays."
"Wow! Beckham is also here! England national team coach Sven Eriksson is sitting next to him. No wonder Victoria didn't sit over. It's more of a work exchange here."
"The England coach and the England captain attended together, and they should be doing a final reconnaissance of the enemy's situation for the team."
Manchester City's starting lineup is the team with the lowest amount of England in the Premier League.
So the English are not here to inspect.
But here to investigate.
Deng Kai is the first core of the Portuguese team, and Fonte is always with him.
Desailly is the captain of the French team, and Ribery is also likely to be called up by the French team.
Cesc Fabregas, Torres, and Villa are said to be all likely to enter the Spanish national team.
Lahm could be called up by Germany.
Chiellini has a high probability of entering the Italian national team.
Cech is a candidate for the Czech national team.
Even Ashley Young may take the last train to enter the England national team.
Unconsciously, Manchester City has become a major international player.
And that's just Europe.
Counting Africa, America, and Asia, there are very few players in their team who are not international players!
Of course, most of these players arrived as mediocre players.
But now, each of them is a famous figure in his own country and region.
Many players even set honorary records for local players.
Manchester City's six championships in two years have brought too many Manchester City players to the top of their lives...before they even reacted.
It’s not just the English.
French coach Jacques Santini and the team's absolute core Zidane also appeared in the stands.
Spain coach Aragones and Spanish team captain and former Ballon d'Or winner Raul were also present.
In addition to investigation, they are also conducting final inspections.
Valencia has many good Spanish players.
And... Spain and Portugal are in the same group.
In addition, the German team coaching staff, Italian coaching staff, and Russian coaching staff.
Even Greek coach Rehhagel showed up.
This time, the Greek team and the Portuguese team are also in the same group, and their qualifying situation is very unfavorable.
But the Greeks have confidence in Rehagel.
After all, this is the super coach who led the team to perform the miracle of Kaiserslautern that year.
Does Trigla know?
Have you heard of Maxa?
Rehhagel is the same two from a few years ago!
"He hasn't changed at all." Rehagel looked at Deng Kai who was helping his teammates warm up on the court. "He has to take care of everything. He pays great attention to the status of every player in the team."
"In the games he participated in, he rarely lost his chain. I think this has a lot to do with his care for everyone."
"He doesn't make any player nervous."
Two years ago, in the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon led by Deng Kai easily eliminated Kaiserslautern coached by Rehagel with an extremely exaggerated score.
That battle completely shattered the struggling Kaiserslautern.
