Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"His vision is amazing." Scholes in the stands shook his head in admiration. "Ronaldo is right next to Gabi. Even if Mario passes the ball to Gabi, Ronaldo will foul him to stop the pass. Atletico Madrid's counter-attack is doomed to fail."

"Deng Kai naturally didn't need to go to the passing lane that Camario was supposed to pass to Gabi. The reason he moved in that direction was to make Mario think he would try to intercept it."

"That was a clever move; he was deliberately luring Mario into his trap."

"Mario is a center-back who is very good with his feet. If he finds that the primary target is unlikely to receive his pass, he will not clear the ball with a long kick. Instead, he will use his dribbling and ball control skills to take the ball away from the danger zone and then pass it to his teammates to reorganize the play."

Even though he was inside the restricted area.

"That's why Barcelona is interested in him."

boom!

After being cleared by Deng Kai, the football bounced behind him.

Gabi rushed over.

But there was another figure even faster than him, and that was Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he had just dispossessed.

In the same position, Cristiano Ronaldo's speed completely outclasses Gabi's!

Cristiano Ronaldo is like a supercar, "crashing" into the ball, completely ignoring the need to stop it, and driving the ball into the penalty area.

Mario immediately clung to Ronaldo, trying to make up for his colossal mistake.

He followed Ronaldo from the left side of the penalty area to the right side, and only after running for a while did he realize... where was the football at Ronaldo's feet?

It turns out that during the confrontation between Ronaldo and Mario, Ronaldo left the ball near the penalty spot like he was laying an egg, and his off-the-ball dribble drew away Mario and a group of other defenders.

boom!

After stealing the ball from Mario, Deng Kai, who had been fouled, got up and saw Ronaldo "laying an egg" (a euphemism for collapsing).

He chased after him and kicked him!

Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper quickly shifted his attention from Cristiano Ronaldo to Duncan.

But his attempt to save the day came too late.

The soccer ball went into the net.

Two to zero!

Sporting Lisbon extended their lead.

"Goal! Perfect teamwork! Perfect understanding!"

"Deng Kai's aggressive move was full of thought!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive performance is truly impressive!"

"In such a fierce contest, he silently passed the ball to Deng Kai behind him and left without hesitation. This requires a great deal of trust!"

"And Deng Kai did not disappoint Ronaldo's trust!"

"This was a perfect 'encounter'; Sporting Lisbon once again finished the fight with just two players!"

"Oh! Deng Kai rushed towards the corner flag with a sliding knee slide, but he clearly hadn't practiced it, and he crashed!"

To be honest, when Deng Kai's knee slide went awry and he bounced up and fell over, he knew he was doomed.

as predicted.

Just as Deng Kai was about to get up from the ground, he was pushed down again.

Without a doubt, it's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Next, a group of teammates surrounded Deng Kai, pinning him to the bottom, and began a human pyramid celebration.

Faced with this situation, Deng Kai could only hold his breath and wait for the nightmare to pass.

When you are being suffocated, you must learn to hold your breath, because as you exhale, the space in your lungs will be compressed drastically, and the time it takes for you to fall into a hypoxic coma will be greatly shortened.

When Deng Kai was brought back to life, the first thing he did was apologize to Aunt Luo and Sister Luo.

Because he's about to start criticizing.

Let's embrace the essence of Chinese culture!

Compared to the joyful atmosphere at Sporting Lisbon.

Atletico Madrid's situation is much more serious.

Trailing 0-2, this game is going to be tough for them.

When the match entered halftime, Atletico Madrid's players quickly went into the locker room.

Their head coach clearly has many ideas to change the score.

As for Sporting Lisbon...

"Kai, what do you think we should do in the second half?" Maxa brought Deng Kai a cup of hot tea and skillfully took the towel Deng Kai handed him to wipe his sweat.

"Of course, it's about containing Torres," Deng Kai said. "With a two-goal lead, we hardly need to worry about attacking. If we can contain Torres in the backfield, this game won't be difficult."

Maksa rolled his eyes inwardly.

Isn't this exactly what he expected?

It turns out that Kai doesn't always have tactical arrangements that are truly impressive.

"Of course, containing Torres is a difficult task. Our defenders will definitely get cards because of it, so you need to be prepared to make substitutions, otherwise we'll be at a disadvantage if Torres gets a red card." Deng Kai gestured towards Wu Xudong, "Around the 60th or 70th minute, you can consider bringing on Wu Xudong depending on the situation."

Maksa frowned: "So, should we replace Duarte with Wu or Araujo?"

Wu Xudong can play on both flanks, but he is better on the right. However, the team's left-back Araujo has not been in as good form as the right-back Duarte recently.

"Why would we need to substitute those two? We should substitute Veloso. If Veloso gets a card, we'll replace him with Wu Xudong. The guy marking Torres needs to be in top form; he can't be timid."

Maxa's hand trembled slightly.

This is... having Wu Xudong play as a defensive midfielder?

Kai is awesome!

They really are recruiting talent without being bound by conventional standards!

I was just being naive.

He even secretly looked down on Kai Shao.

His arrogant attitude must be suppressed.

Never let your guard down.

Maxa gave himself a good talking-to.

……

Back on the pitch, Atletico Madrid, after adjustments, completely activated their iron-blooded genes.

Their actions became more aggressive, and they committed frequent fouls.

Torres thus gained numerous opportunities.

Sporting Lisbon could only use yellow cards to stop Torres.

In the 61st minute, center-back Manuel received a yellow card.

In the 67th minute, right-back Duarte received a yellow card.

In the 70th minute, Veloso received a yellow card.

Torres is like a bucket of yellow paint; whoever defends him turns yellow.

"Sporting Lisbon has started making substitutions; their defense has too many yellow cards."

"Three substitutions in a row! That's very bold! They replaced Manuel, Duarte, and Veloso."

"Huh? Wu Xudong isn't in his right-back position, is he... a defensive midfielder? Is Wu Xudong in the defensive midfield position?"

"It's marking! Wu Xudong is freely marking Torres in the backfield!"

"This young Chinese player, who joined Sporting Lisbon U15 in the winter transfer window, has become the team's fast defensive specialist! He is very fast, and although he looks a bit thin, he is all muscle with a low body fat percentage, so his ability to withstand physical contact is not bad."

"He essentially shut down Arjen Robben, the best right winger in this year's UEFA Youth League, for most of the game!"

In the 72nd minute, Wu Xudong, who had just come on, made a crucial contribution.

When Torres attempted to dribble past him on the wing, he intercepted the ball and shoved it out of bounds.

Deng Kai, who was behind in his position, immediately came over and gave him a high five.

In the 75th minute, Torres received the ball with his back to goal, nutmegged Semedo, turned and charged toward the penalty area.

Wu Xudong quickly marked Torres, causing Torres to take a heavy touch, and the ball was cleared by Angelo.

Seventy-ninth minute.

Sporting Lisbon brought the ball into Atletico Madrid's half.

Forwards like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lorenzo kept making runs, but they never managed to create any opportunities.

The game suddenly stalled.

If Deng Kai stands still with the ball and does nothing, he looks a bit lost.

This is related to the fact that they have committed fewer players to the attacking third and are unable to break down the opponent's defensive formation.

In the future, when weaker teams attack, they will often encounter teams that are actively positioned and defending, and this scene will frequently occur.

If you pass the ball, it's bound to be lost.

You should send it back; you've wasted another attack opportunity.

What can you do?

With nothing else to do, Deng Kai dribbled the ball in place and spun around, preparing to use the "little spinning top" technique to improve his passing ability before making a through ball over the top.

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