Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Think about it, if this pass hadn't been made well, wouldn't Quaresma have complained? I think the probability is very high."

"As the tallest player on the field, Almeida has a very obvious physical advantage. As long as his teammates can deliver good crosses, his threat level will definitely be top-notch."

After that goal, Poland had no way out.

They launched a direct attack.

Eighty-fifth minute.

Power bank energy replenished.

Deng Kai made a sprinting slide tackle and completed a long-range interception.

The football was at least three meters away from him.

This was an unconventional defensive play.

At this stage, many players can't slide tackle anymore because they're out of energy.

The next moment, Ronaldo, Viana, and Quaresma launched a three-pronged attack.

Deng Kai delivered a precise through ball to Viana, who were slightly behind.

Cristiano Ronaldo immediately cut inside without the ball, moving from Viana's left to his right.

This also stopped the Polish defenders from rushing towards Viana.

Viana made a curved pass without any vision of the ball.

The ball was precisely passed from left to right to Quaresma, who was positioned just outside the right side of the penalty area.

Quaresma one-on-one!

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, Quaresma used the outside of his foot to flick the ball into the net with a highly deceptive shot.

Three to one!

Portugal extended their lead.

The outcome is decided!

The Polish team's morale plummeted instantly.

They were eliminated.

There was a time when they were at the top of the standings after the first round of matches.

In a single-round group stage, the margin for error is simply too low.

The 90th minute.

Despite losing the game, the Polish team remained composed and continued to play attacking football, aiming to maintain their threat until the very last moment of the match.

They continued to apply pressure outside Portugal's penalty area, maintaining possession for four minutes.

However, Portugal's defense, feeling confident and fearless, performed well.

Poland's final pass was intercepted by Fonte.

Fonte passes the ball to Meireles.

The Portuguese players charged into the Polish half once again.

Even Viana rushed up.

He wouldn't have done this in the past, because he was responsible for the transition between offense and defense.

But now, he still unconsciously believes that Deng Kai can carry out this mission well.

really.

Meireles passed the ball to Deng Kai, then made a run to create space for Deng Kai to pass the ball.

But there are still too few receiving points.

The Polish players couldn't get back to defend in time and could only surround Deng Kai, trying to intercept him in the attacking third.

Deng Kai's eyes were filled with Polish players.

He pulled and stepped on with his right foot, braced himself against the attacking player with his arm, and completed a 180-degree turn.

Before the opponent could extend their leg to intercept, he pulled with his left heel.

It made a very irregular Marseille turn.

At that moment, two more Polish players arrived.

Deng Kai bent over and slapped the other person away repeatedly with both hands, one, two, three, four, one more time.

A complete Bengbu turn appeared in the European U16 Championship.

boom!

After a spin in Bengbu, Deng Kai immediately accelerated with a flick of the ball, breaking through the encirclement.

This was something no one expected.

Meireles was already running back, preparing for the next defensive move.

boom!

After picking up the ball, Deng Kai didn't continue dribbling because it wasn't necessary.

Several teenagers in red and green were running wildly ahead.

Deng Kai's long story.

Ronaldo on the left receives the pass; if he dribbles once, it's almost a one-on-one opportunity.

But Ronaldo didn't take credit for himself and, unusually, passed the ball to Viana, who was making a run into the middle.

Viana lifted her foot.

The Polish goalkeeper makes a save.

Viana flicked his ankle, feinted a shot and then passed the ball to the right wing.

Quaresma taps the ball into the empty net.

Four to one!

Portugal defeated Poland by a large margin.

Quaresma scores twice! Viana provides two assists! Duncan provides two assists in two consecutive matches!

"This goal, from Duncan to Ronaldo, Viana, and Quaresma, is yet another typical Lisbon link-up!"

"They truly deserve to be called the 'Lisbon Four.' Although they come from different age groups, they clearly share the common spirit of Sporting Lisbon, and they adapt to each other very quickly. In this atmosphere, even Ronaldo has learned to pass the ball!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned.

Is this... a compliment?

Meireles, who passed the ball to Deng Kai, was also surprised. Why didn't my pass count? Why is it counting from Deng Kai onwards? Was I not standing high enough?

Fonte in the backfield was also a little disappointed. How about... the Lisbon Five?

I am José Fonte, and I am also a player in the Sporting Lisbon youth academy.

Ultimately, the score of the match was 4 to 1.

Deng Kai provided two assists and initiated two attacks, earning him the title of MVP of the match.

Meanwhile, in another match that started and ended at the same time, the Czech Republic came back from 0-1 down to score two goals and ultimately reverse the deficit against Switzerland.

As a result, both the host Czech Republic and Portugal have a record of two wins and one draw, accumulating seven points.

The match ended in a draw.

However, Portugal had a much better goal difference than the Czech Republic, and ultimately relied on this advantage to advance to the quarterfinals of the European U-16 Championship!

However, the Czech team did not disappoint the local fans. With a high score of seven points, they became the best second-placed team in the six groups and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The European U17 Championship has entered the knockout stage.

……

Poland has eliminated Portugal's key striker; Portugal may be an easy target in the quarterfinals!

Two games, five goals! Quaresma is in good form and confident of leading the team to the semi-finals!

Two assists in consecutive matches! Viorante's double attacking midfield tactic proves successful, young player Deng Kai becomes the new core of Portugal's midfield!

Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)

"One goal and three assists so far! Viana is displaying the qualities of a great player, and he and Iniesta are the most outstanding midfielders in this European U-16 Championship!"

Scoring in consecutive matches! Young Cristiano Ronaldo delivers a consistent, efficient, and highly impactful performance!

A 720-degree spin! Deng Kai's spin may be ugly, but the effect is great!

A new striker has emerged! Postiga's injury reveals another hidden strength in Portugal: is Almeida the answer to this team's central striker role?

After the match, news about the Portuguese team kept coming in.

Of course, there are quite a few other teams as well.

Torres and Iniesta of Spain shone so brightly they dazzled the fans.

After the Netherlands team won, people started comparing the "Four Dutch Youngsters" with the "Four Lisbon Prodigies".

The competition between the two "four-person groups" in particular has sparked continuous discussion.

If we're talking about the strongest, there's no doubt it's Quaresma.

However, considering their overall strength, talent, and ability, many believe that the four young Dutch talents are stronger.

External public opinion continues.

There is actually some internal opinion as well.

For example, Postiga really wants to get back to the team as soon as possible.

His family stated, "Postiga's injury is minor, and he will be able to return to the team at any time!"

However, Viorante gave the opposite answer in a news interview the following day.

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