When Deng Kai showed up at the Wahaha team's place, quite a few players were taken aback.
"You guys don't mind if I join in, do you?"
His fluent Mandarin instantly conquered the locker room.
On a casual field, if a noob tells you this, you'd want to tell him to get lost.
But when a pro says it, you're more than happy to accept, even letting the guy pick his spot first.
So, for the second half, Deng Kai became Wahaha team's midfielder.
On the other side, Sporting Lisbon also sent on a substitute midfielder.
This change intrigued the fans.
But nobody was optimistic about the Wahaha team.
Because the strength of a team can't be determined by just one person.
The only one who thought the game might take a turn was Trigella.
Because he knew Sporting Lisbon had a big problem, which was... they no longer had a midfield core.
With Sergio gone, Sporting Lisbon's midfield was just a bunch of reinforced concrete, completely without a commander.
