"Hey, I don't know if everyone has noticed, but Chris is really active today."

"We all know he's active when he has the ball, but is he this active without it? Didn't seem like it in the past, right?"

"He's making a lot of runs today, even creating space for his teammates, which is quite rare."

"Look, look, another sprint after dropping back, drawing away two defenders. Deng Kai takes the chance to pass the football to the right wing, and the Sporting Lisbon winger crosses it... too bad, the goalkeeper claims it."

"The key is that Chris isn't dissatisfied for not receiving the pass from his teammate, which is also very uncommon. He's a player who strongly desires to touch the ball, which is both his strength and his weakness."

However, neither Ronaldo nor Deng Kai exhibited the behavior Maxa had imagined.
