Reporter: "Excuse me, Deng Kai's defeat of Inter Milan, Ronaldo wasn't in play; he was recuperating from an injury at that time."
Trigella: "So you're saying Ronaldo wasn't an Inter Milan player that season? Then which team was he on? According to this logic, there probably isn't a stronger player in the world of football than me, because I've never been a player."
Reporter: "By that reasoning, Ronaldo has also defeated Deng Kai! That match where the Brazilian team won four to zero against the Chinese team! Ronaldo even scored a goal!"
Trigella nodded: "Yes, and that's why Ronaldo moved ahead of Deng Kai in the real-time rankings for the Golden Ball, but if I may be so bold... even if Ronaldo lifts the Hercules Cup, in my heart, the best player in the world this year is still Deng Kai!"
