Bab 73: Chapter 73: The Friendship-Ending Contest

Wahaha's final match in Europe.

Sporting Lisbon U15's starting lineup is:

Ronaldo, Lorenzo, Marcelino

Veloso, Deng Kai, Semedo

Araujo, Angelo, Manuel, Duarte

Pilar

Compared to the first half of the season, the lineup has changed somewhat.

Veloso replaced Sergio, who transferred to Boavista U15 during the winter window.

Additionally, Deng Kai's position shifted from right midfielder to a legitimate central midfielder, which freed him to the greatest extent.

Semedo's positioning will actually be slightly retreated, a bit like a right defensive midfielder, mainly responsible for protecting behind Deng Kai.

Veloso is the midfield sweeper, with Trigella defining him as Deng Kai's "bodyguard."

This request was put forward by Deng Kai himself.

Maxa found it challenging to agree to such unorthodox arrangements; other coaches might think I, Maxa, don't understand football!
