Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Waaaaah!"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was crying sadly in the grove.

This scene makes it hard not to think of something.

However, since her clothes were intact and her hair was not messy, Deng Kai was quite relieved.

At least it wasn't the worst-case scenario he imagined.

"Um... are you in some kind of trouble?" Deng Kai asked in English. Czech is the main language in the Czech Republic, but most young people can communicate in English.

"Ah!" The other person immediately wiped away their tears, turned around and looked at Deng Kai, very wary.

But after discovering that Deng Kai was a boy considerably younger than her, she relaxed a lot and replied in standard American English: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Deng Kai nodded: "I saw that you have black hair, so I thought you were Asian or Chinese. That's why I came over to ask about your situation and see if I could help you."

The young woman looked at Deng Kai's jersey and the soccer bag on his back and excitedly asked, "You...you're a player? Can you play soccer?"

"Of course." Deng Kai doesn't think that he, as the best young player in the UEFA Champions League, should be known by the whole world.

However, he felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar.

"Can you teach me how to play soccer?" The young woman asked, then realized her wording might not be quite right and quickly added, "Not the kind of long-term teaching, but short-term guidance."

"I'm currently involved in filming a movie, which includes some scenes of me playing soccer, baseball, and basketball."

"This is my first film, and I hope to make every shot the best it can be."

"Actually, the reason I'm crying here is because I feel my acting isn't good enough and I'm slowing down the whole production. At first, I thought it was a crew member coming over, so I hurriedly wiped away my tears."

Deng Kai looked at the other person's slightly smudged makeup and expressed his understanding.

Aside from those who are overly sensitive and unpleasant to talk about, nobody wants to show their vulnerability at work.

She's so dedicated at such a young age; she'll definitely become a great actress in the future...etc.

Actress?

"You...you are..." Deng Kai recognized the girl.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Anne Hathaway." The girl grinned, fully utilizing her charm to win over the soccer coach, Deng Kai.

really!

So this is where they filmed "The Princess Diaries".

This was Anne Hathaway's first film, which was a huge success and received extremely high ratings.

The movie features a fictional country called "Ginovia," which, according to the movie's description, corresponds to Andorra in Europe.

Much of the filming took place around Prague, Czech Republic.

"I can teach you some simple football moves, and I happen to be free right now," Deng Kai agreed to Hathaway. "My name is Deng Kai, and I'm a youth player for Sporting Lisbon."

Then, Deng Kai took out a soccer ball and started having Hathaway try some simple dribbling and spiking techniques.

"That's right..."

"Yes, that's it..."

"You did a great job..."

"Extremely talented!"

"Yes, that's great, very well done..."

Deng Kai would not use the level of professional youth training to measure and evaluate Hathaway. He believes that, as an ordinary person, Hathaway has athletic talent and her limbs are coordinated enough.

But Hathaway remembered Deng Kai's repeated encouragement. She felt that her movements were clumsy and that dribbling the ball was difficult, but she did not hear a single criticism.

About an hour later, both of them were drenched in sweat.

Hathaway watched Deng Kai, who was almost half a head shorter than her, earnestly instructing her, and suddenly began to appreciate the boy's good looks.

"You're such a good teacher. If my acting teacher could teach me like you, I think I could even win an Oscar in the future," Hathaway said with some emotion.

Deng Kai laughed and said, "Why do I say 'even'? I think you can definitely do it."

Hathaway was taken aback, looked at Deng Kai, and saw sincerity in his eyes.

"Really?" Hathaway shook her head repeatedly, indicating her disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Some people are suited to high-pressure education, while others are suited to encouragement-based education," Deng Kai said. "Of course, some people are naturally suited to teaching others, like me."

"I have a teammate who is very clumsy. He is good at leading by example, holding himself to the highest standards, and using those same standards to demand things of others."

"If you met him today, you would absolutely hate football."

Hathaway covered her mouth and laughed, "Then he really is an annoying guy."

Deng Kai nodded: "Yes. He's suitable as a role model, not as a leader. But I take his hard work, diligence, and fighting spirit as my role model!"

Hathaway brushed a stray strand of her hair aside: "I believe you will become an excellent player. I will follow your matches when I have the chance. You said before that you are... a Benfica player, right? Then I will be a Benfica fan from now on."

Deng Kai...

"Um... it's Sporting Lisbon, Benfica is our fierce city rival."

"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. What I meant was, I'll be following Sporting Lisbon from now on."

"It's okay. Youth players aren't usually remembered. It's just that I haven't reached a high enough level. I'll keep an eye on your movies, Scarlett Janssen."

"Hmph! You're being a bit annoying! My name is Anne Hathaway, and Scarlett is way more famous than me! Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"

When the crew found Hathaway, she was playfully fighting with Deng Kai.

"It's on, I have to go." Hathaway bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before finally asking boldly, "You're not leaving Prague today, right? As a thank you for teaching me how to play football, could I treat you to a meal?"

Deng Kai nodded: "Of course, no problem. I'll be staying here for a while. But starting tomorrow, I'll be in training and won't be able to go out easily. So..."

"Let's do it tonight!" Hathaway was overjoyed and ran out of the grove without waiting for Deng Kai's reply.

The staff were surprised to see the smile on her face.

Hathaway has been in poor condition lately due to repeated criticism during filming, and everyone is a little worried about her.

"Hathaway, the crew has a break in a few days. We're planning to watch a UEFA U-16 match to experience the atmosphere of a major tournament. Do you want to come along? It'll be a good way to relax. There are so many promising young players this year, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and..."

"No, thank you," Hathaway interrupted the staff member. "The name is too long and sounds boring. Besides, I'm not interested in other people's football right now."

The staff member was somewhat helpless; he also felt the name was too long and wished he had mentioned the name of another highly regarded Chinese-American football star first.

Wait, what about the others?

What does that mean?

……

In the afternoon, Deng Kai and his parents returned to Prague.

During the journey, Ronaldo called to ask Deng Kai if he wanted to have dinner together.

In a phone call, Ronaldo hinted to Duncan that the dinner was initiated by Quaresma and that all the Sporting Lisbon players would be attending.

"Sorry, I have other plans for tonight." Since Deng Kai had promised Hathaway, he naturally couldn't break his promise. "You can drink a few more drinks for me when I get back. I'll treat everyone to dinner to make up for it."

Cristiano Ronaldo looked like he was cursing.

Why should I have to drink more just because you didn't come?

That night.

The usually arrogant Cristiano Ronaldo, unusually, humbly apologized to the various Sporting Lisbon players while holding a beverage cup.

"Kai's mother is feeling unwell, and he has to take care of his family, so he can't leave."

"Deng Kai's father's toe injury has recurred, and he needs to accompany his father to the hospital."

"Deng Kai hasn't finished his assignments at university yet; he's working overtime on them."

After this round of matches, people's opinions on Deng Kai are not worth mentioning, but their opinions on Ronaldo have improved a lot.

This person doesn't seem as arrogant and difficult to get along with as others say.

Isn't that quite humble?

However, one thing puzzled everyone: was Deng Kai having such a bad day?

Kai is really suffering!

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