Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Sporting Lisbon U15 contributed six players to Portugal's full U16 squad.

Including the older players, the Green and White Army has provided more than ten youth national team players, becoming the main force in this European U-16 Championship.

Sporting Lisbon's youth academy has completely overwhelmed Porto and Benfica.

The specific list includes:

Forwards: Quaresma, Postiga, Cristiano Ronaldo, Almeida, Luis Lorenko, Lorenzo.

Midfielders: Viana, Duncan, Meireles, Ingol, Veloso, Amorin, Semedo.

Defenders: Jorge Ribeiro, José Fonte, Ricardo Duardi, José Bosingwa, Angelo, Araujo, Pereira.

Goalkeepers: Bruno Valle, Pilar, Ver

Almost all of them are youth academy players from the three major clubs.

This lineup isn't exactly lacking in star power.

Quaresma, who plays alongside Ronaldo on the wings, is another story; he's practically a future superstar.

Postiga was later arguably Tottenham's biggest flop in the Premier League. The fact that he's associated with the Premier League speaks volumes about his stature.

Almeida was once the first choice for center forward in the Portuguese national team.

Viana is hailed as Portugal's most talented left-winger.

Meirelas is one of the most reliable midfielders in the future, even at Liverpool and Chelsea, and has won the Premier League PFT Fans' Choice Award.

His peak value was enough to trade for Yin Gua Yin without any problem.

In an effort to keep him, Liverpool players even considered relegating Gerrard to a different position.

Fonte is also a legend of the famous Chinese Super League.

Bosingwa is Chelsea's first-choice right-back and a player who has won the Champions League.

Deng Kai has great confidence in this lineup.

"Kai Kai, hurry up, we need to catch our flight."

The end of the UEFA Youth League final marks the end of a season.

Last season, Deng Kai achieved unprecedented success, winning two championships.

However, due to the upcoming UEFA Youth Cup in the summer, Deng Kai didn't have much time to rest during this holiday.

This year's UEFA U-16 Championship is being hosted by the Czech Republic, with matches taking place in several large stadiums within the Czech capital, Prague.

Because their regular training grounds were being upgraded and occupied, Portugal U16 simply rented a venue in Prague this year to train, allowing the players to get used to the pace of the European U16 Championship in advance.

Portugal failed to qualify for last year's World Cup, and Figo boldly declared that he would lead Portugal to the European Championship.

This has led to Portuguese fans paying extra attention to international competitions, including this year's UEFA U-16 Championship.

Even the high level of interest in Sporting Lisbon U15 in the UEFA Youth League this year is due to these reasons.

Compensatory therapy is something that fans, especially veteran fans, desperately need.

Deng's parents were sending Deng Kai to Prague for the team's training camp and to do some sightseeing for a few days.

Mr. and Mrs. Deng earned meager salaries and could not afford the expenses of this trip.

But what can they do when they have a champion son?

The league assist leader bonus, the best midfielder bonus, the league champion bonus, the UEFA Youth League best player bonus, the UEFA Youth League Golden Boot bonus, the UEFA Youth League best midfielder bonus... all these amounts combined are two to three times more than the scholarship that the University of Lisbon gave to Deng Kai.

The nearly six-figure prize money left Deng's parents speechless.

No wonder my son insisted on playing football.

This deal is such a great deal.

This is truly a prime example of someone who studies hard but ends up with nothing to show for it!

Similarly, Ronaldo also received a lot of bonuses, but not nearly as much as Duncan.

Because the league's prize money is relatively small, the main source of prize money is the UEFA Youth League.

In the UEFA Youth League, Deng Kai has won more honors.

Therefore, in terms of honors, Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo are about equal.

But now that it's in our hands, well... all we can do is apologize to Ronaldo.

……

Mr. and Mrs. Deng had a wonderful three-day trip to Prague.

During this period, some of the more energetic young Portuguese players (c) (Ronaldo) have already gone to the training camp.

Those who didn't make it are a very small minority, like Deng Kai.

The fourth day was also the last day that Deng Kai spent traveling with his parents.

They arrived at a dense forest park on the outskirts of Prague.

The area boasts a beautiful environment and several stunning ancient castle buildings.

As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Deng arrived, they held hands and went to admire the beautiful scenery.

They are truly in love.

Deng Kai's situation was an accident.

Deng Kai didn't bother the two of them. He found a seat nearby and began to accept his post-match reward.

He hasn't even had time to accept his award since the UEFA Youth League ended.

He doesn't need to look at the items for now; he's accumulated a lot of super training posts and Donglong Special Drinks.

After the European U16 Championship ends, he will be training intensely every day, and he may not be able to finish his training even when the new season starts.

He's already figured out how to torment Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

Let's see who's more stubborn!

Deng Kai is primarily focused on skill-related items.

"High press: By running smarter, you can effectively increase your efficiency in pressing in the high ground and improve your ability to cover the area while pressing."

"Offensive and defensive metronome: Your passing ability is enhanced when offensive and defensive modes or attack modes change."

"Accurate Crosses: Your crossing ability on the wings has been enhanced. Your passes give your teammates in the penalty area a greater chance to score."

"Bengbu Turn: My ball control is like Henry's! As the first great emperor of the Chinese national football team, Li Yi's Bengbu Turn is an eternal classic. When you use this move, your ability to compete is enhanced."

I can't hold it in any longer!

All four of these player-level skills are very powerful.

But the last one is a bit of a joke.

This must be a Gold Superstar-level skill, right?

Whom do you look down on?

Haven't heard of Emperor Li Yi?

"High press" is absolutely effective and also very suitable for Deng Kai's current style of play; it's a real disruptive weapon.

The essence of the "offensive and defensive metronome" is not the change of offensive and defensive modes, but the ability to enhance passing ability even when the offensive mode changes.

In other words, during an attack, if the team's wing penetration tactic fails and the ball comes to Deng Kai's feet, he can also benefit from the bonus when he makes a through pass or a through ball over the top.

[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]

And this is precisely Deng Kai's playing style.

It is also Tintin's favorite way of passing the ball.

Deng Kai's passing ability was thus further improved.

"Precise Cross" is also very good. The difference between this skill and "Wing Cross" is that it can provide a scoring bonus to teammates in the penalty area.

This also highlights the importance of the word "precision".

This, to some extent, offset the side effects of "Tintin's stream-of-consciousness passing".

As for "Bengbu Spin", to be honest, this skill is not very meaningful to Deng Kai.

Given Deng Kai's height, physical attributes, and ability to withstand pressure, even with advantages, it would be difficult for him to maneuver effectively against two or three opponents.

That's not his forte.

Li Yi's Bengbu turn looks a bit comical, but when he created that iconic moment, the competition was fierce. One player held onto his jersey the entire time, but couldn't pull it off.

If it were Deng Kai, he would have been taken down long ago.

but!

Although the skill's effect is poor, the skill's animation is practically a godsend for Deng Kai.

Because the Bengbu Turn is a rare "720-degree" rotation!

The Marseille turn is 360 degrees.

The Jinhu Circular Lake only has a 180-degree loop.

Only the golden skill "The Most Expensive Little Spinning Top in Football" can rotate 720 degrees in a short period of time.

Even Carmelo Anthony, who has mastered this skill, rarely manages to turn 720 degrees in one go.

From this perspective, the Bengbu Revolving Bridge is not golden, but it is even more beautiful than gold.

In retrospect, it still has to be Li Yi who is the best!

Just imagine, if Deng Kai first spins the small top twice to trigger the opponent's defense, and then spins it twice using the Bengbu Return technique, the 20% increase would arrive in no time.

At that time, after Deng Kai's turn around at Bengbu, he no longer received Li Yi's pass. He could have broken through the encirclement on his own and made a powerful run forward!

From Li Yi to Kaka!

It's exciting to think about!

"Waaaaah..." Deng Kai, who was inspecting the goods, was awakened by the faint sobbing sounds around him.

He looked around. Was someone bullying a girl here?

We should call the police!

Deng Kai immediately followed the sound.

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