It looked as if Serafim actively yielded his position to Deng Kai.
"Oh! Serafim was completely bamboozled by Deng Kai's successive feints."
"His defense seemed more like a welcome to Deng Kai, the former core of the team. The two are simply not on the same level; Deng Kai has played more and more composedly since the beginning of the second half of the season."
"Some may feel his presence isn't as strong as before, but in reality, as the midfield commander, his perfect movement and use of all his teammates is what's most important."
"The current Viana is just like Deng Kai used to be. And now Deng Kai, I must say, is very much like those master midfielders who battle on the top stage. He has a bit of Rivaldo, Guardiola, and even Zidane in him."
"Ibrahimovic is sprinting, he's asking for the ball... Deng Kai doesn't pass. Ibrahimovic has moved offside, he's coming back, choosing to return from the right side."
