Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Maxi then substituted Wu Xudong for Marcelino.

Placing a right-back in the right winger position is undoubtedly a signal to strengthen the defense.

Because just now, Maxa received some amazing news.

That is... Benfica took the lead in their match against Guimarães!

If the game ends right now.

So...

Eighty-first minute.

Auganista and Inger combined well in the middle.

Inger's dribbling skills are impressive, and he created a free kick in a very good position during his breakthrough.

Inger personally officiated at the penalty.

boom!

The football cleared the wall with exceptional quality.

when!

Unfortunately, they were a bit unlucky.

The football hit the crossbar and then bounced downwards.

Pilar reacted quickly, immediately raising his right hand to block the ball.

The intention was to shoot outwards, but the football bounced off the crossbar at too high a speed and with spin, so it went wide.

The ball is high but not far, remaining within the penalty area.

The players from both sides were engaged in a chaotic brawl.

Finally, the tall and strong Almeida seized the advantageous position and headed the ball into the goal without even jumping.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Veloso, and others immediately raised their hands to indicate that the opponent was offside.

However, the linesman remained unmoved.

Almeida was indeed not offside.

Pilar, lying on the ground, angrily slapped the lawn, hating himself for his mistake at the crucial moment.

They were about to win, but then...

Two to two!

The two sides are tied!

Conceding a goal after more than 80 minutes has a significant impact on the morale of the team that lost the goal.

Many Sporting Lisbon players have mentally accepted the draw.

However, Deng Kai noticed that there were quite a few people walking around near the players' tunnel while he was running.

There were stadium staff, but there were also people in other uniforms.

Another person was carrying a box.

Deng Kai frowned slightly.

He looked towards the coaching bench and the stands and noticed that many people were looking at their phones instead of watching the game.

"Eight points, seven points, seven points, zero points... We win and we get eleven points, Porto still gets seven points... If Benfica beats Guimaraes... three points, Guimaraes still only gets seven points! They're four points behind us, then..." Deng Kai suddenly realized.

His heart skipped a beat.

Even if this was your original goal, you'll still be very excited when you finally get it.

That's... the champion!

If Sporting Lisbon U15 wins this match, they will likely clinch the league title with one round to spare!

"Champion!" Deng Kai shouted.

The Sporting Lisbon players looked at Deng Kai, still not quite understanding what was happening.

It's not that the Portuguese players are bad at math.

The reason is that Benfica was in such a sorry state before the match started, attracting everyone's attention while making people completely forget that they had the potential to beat Guimaraes.

With the other three teams' scores very close, everyone thought it was a three-way battle for supremacy.

But little did they know that this match could also be a "sudden death" game!

In an extreme scenario, the champion of this year's Portuguese U15 league will be decided after this match!

That is—Sporting Lisbon!

"Champions! Winning this match means we're champions!" Deng Kai clenched his fist, roared to the sky, "Champions!"

The next moment, the Sporting Lisbon players reacted, and one by one they roared and chanted, "Champions! Champions! Champions!"

The commentators were also bewildered: "What's going on? Porto clearly scored, but why is Sporting Lisbon suddenly getting so excited? What are they chanting? 'Champions'?"

"My God! Benfica are two goals ahead of Guimaraes! Is this for real?! They're actually going to win!"

"So, if Sporting Lisbon also beats Porto, they will become the champions of this season with one round to spare!"

"Oh! According to sources, Portuguese Football Federation officials have already taken the championship trophy to the match between Sporting Lisbon and Porto. They're going to present the trophy to any potential champion!"

"It's a bit of a shame that Porto has already equalized, so the FA officials will have made a wasted trip. Sporting Lisbon will likely miss out on the awards this round, leaving the suspense for next week."

……

On the field, it had been more than eighty minutes.

However, both sides played an intense game for the first ten minutes.

The Sporting Lisbon players have gone crazy; they keep launching attacks with unstoppable momentum.

They have to win!

They're going to win the championship!

Porto's players also put in tremendous effort, pressing high throughout the entire match.

Do you want to win the championship on our home turf?

dream!

If we defeat you, we might just be the ones to win the championship in the next round!

In the 84th minute, Deng Kai made a long pass from the backfield.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo was constantly blocked by the opponent's body and ultimately failed to catch up with the ball, which went out of bounds.

In the 86th minute, Porto launched a thrilling counter-attack. Almeida dropped back to receive the ball and then sent a through pass, but Ingol's shot from the edge of the penalty area went less than half a meter wide of the goal.

In the 88th minute, Deng Kai launched another long pass and found Wu Xudong.

Wu Xudong was racing like crazy on the right flank.

He came on as a substitute and has excellent stamina.

Ultimately, Wu Xudong's cross was blocked by the opponent, and Sporting Lisbon was awarded a corner kick.

Deng Kai took the corner kick.

Despite being the tallest player on the field, Almeida easily headed the ball out of the penalty area, outjumping Ronaldo.

Fortunately, Semedo controlled the ball on the outside and, not daring to hold back, immediately passed it to Araujo on the left wing.

Porto players immediately pressed them.

They could launch a counter-attack and very well secure a decisive victory against Sporting Lisbon.

Araujo knew the ball was hot, so he passed it to Veloso, who had run out of Porto's penalty area to get back into a defensive position.

Throughout Sporting Lisbon, all the players were running towards their own half, giving Porto no chance.

But amidst this prevailing trend, Deng Kai suddenly turned around.

At the same time, Veloso, who was dribbling the ball towards his own half, suddenly flicked the ball to the side and then launched a long pass that sent the ball flying into Porto's penalty area!

A surprise attack!

Veloso's passing skills were on full display at this moment!

Deng Kai slipped past several people like a mudfish, and no one had time to stop him.

He immediately created a super one-on-one opportunity.

However... when Veloso passed the ball, he was on the left side of the field, and his angle for the half-turn pass was limited. The ball flew from the left side of the penalty area towards the right side inside the penalty area.

Deng Kai's recent run was from the right side of the penalty area towards the left.

There is only one intersection point between the two paths.

However, Deng Kai charged a bit too aggressively in order to get rid of his defender.

The ball landed behind him.

Porto goalkeeper Valle was less than two meters to the side of Duncan.

He clearly wasn't going to give Deng Kai a chance to turn around and receive the ball.

Moreover... if that ball actually lands, it will almost reach Valle's feet.

Valais could have been destroyed in advance.

Deng Kai's only chance is while the ball is still in mid-air...

boom!

Deng Kai's head suddenly lurched forward, making a side roll.

He was upside down, his feet sliding through the air one after the other.

His left foot, which he raised from behind, touched the soccer ball.

The direction of football has changed.

Miraculously, it bypassed the unprepared Valais and nestled into the far corner of the goal.

Scorpion swishes its tail!

Wearing the same style as Van der Vaart!

"ah!

! "

Deng Kai saw the ball go into the net as he rolled over.

After a somersault upon landing, he smoothly got up, took off his clothes, and rushed towards the corner flag area.

The strong wind blew his hair up strand by strand, giving him the look of youth.

"Champions! Sporting Lisbon are the champions!"

Deng Kai threw his jersey into the air.

With his arms on his hips and his back slightly arched, he struck a pose that showed off his muscles.

Although he doesn't have muscles, it doesn't diminish his imposing stature in front of the camera at this moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to rush over, snatching a camera from an unknown reporter in the corner flag area. He then turned to Deng Kai, camera in hand, and shouted, "Kai! Beautiful goal! You created a miracle, you know? From second to last to the championship! It's a miracle! A miracle!"

Ignoring Ronaldo's close-up shots, Deng Kai excitedly hugged the camera and shouted, "Yes, a miracle! No, no, no, this is just the beginning, just the start, it's not over yet, our story has a long way to go, brother!"

Then, Deng Kai also stretched out a hand to support the camera, and then faced the camera with Ronaldo.

Behind them, all the other Sporting Lisbon players rushed over, including goalkeeper Pilar.

"Everyone, shout it out with me!" Deng Kai counted, "One, two, three... The Lisbon Miracle!"

"Setting sail!"

! "

A group of green and white teenagers celebrated wildly in the corner flag area.

It left behind a classic and timeless scene.

Only the reporter whose camera was snatched was a mix of excitement and embarrassment, hesitation and a touch of guilt.

You guys... damn it... turn your computers on already!

If your computer isn't on, can you record an urgent message?

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
