Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

It's already mid-June, so it's probably difficult to find a slot in July or August.

After that, the availability of slots improved, and the competition became increasingly fierce.

But if Americans don't jump on this bandwagon, they'll be upset!

How can the Americans, the second most business-savvy people in the world, tolerate such a waste of resources?

Marshall is still unsure of the film's fate.

However, as soon as he landed in the United States, he received a notification from his boss, instructing him to speed up filming while ensuring quality, and to start editing immediately after filming was completed.

Judging from the boss's words, it seems that he plans to release the film before November.

If the opening weekend box office is good, then this movie will be able to dominate the box office market for the entire month of November.

Then, they'll try to ride the wave of popularity during the early Christmas season in December.

Once this process is completed, it's hard for the box office to be too low.

Marshall, wanting to protect his prestigious reputation, naturally agreed with great delight.

On the other hand, after Deng Kai's interview was published, many people caused him trouble.

This includes Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo was still upset about an interview with Deng Kai where he said he was not good enough to play center forward.

However, after Deng Kai explained, Ronaldo calmed down.

So they were planning to scam the Germans?

Sure, but next time you say something like "I'm not good enough," could you please add a dog emoji?

To avoid being accidentally hit by friendly fire, I've brought out my Italian artillery.

……

Spain, who also reached the semi-finals of the UEFA European Under-16 Championship, did not draw Portugal; their opponent is the tournament's host, the Czech Republic.

Portugal's opponent in the semi-finals is... Germany!

However, when the Spanish U16 team conducted their internal analysis, they invited renowned national team player and Barcelona midfield maestro Pep Guardiola to assist them.

Guardiola and the Spanish U16 coaches explicitly stated: "This kid is using a smokescreen, he's too cunning!"

"He gave the interview right after the match, a hard-fought victory against the Netherlands, but instead of being overwhelmed with excitement, he dug himself into so many holes!"

The Spanish coaches looked completely bewildered.

Guardiola explained, "Here, his expression of regret over Viana's injury and his hope for Viana's recovery is a sign of high emotional intelligence, which is only natural."

"But he was definitely not just a noble person who didn't seek fame for himself. His real purpose was to hide his shortcomings; in their words, he was 'playing dumb to fool the enemy.'"

"He kept emphasizing Viana's role in the team, which on the one hand could reduce the pressure on him from subsequent opponents. On the other hand, it could also make people underestimate Portugal and thus become careless and underestimate their opponents."

"But is Viana truly irreplaceable in the Portuguese national team?"

Guardiola poses a thought-provoking question.

Iniesta, who was singled out for the discussion, brightened up: "The Portuguese team has always had a traditional style of play with a single attacking midfielder. With Viana out injured, the double attacking midfielder tactic may be short-handed, but Duncan can definitely handle the single attacking midfielder tactic, and the team will not be uncomfortable with it."

"So... although it's hard to believe, the conclusion is that Viana's absence will not affect Portugal's core fighting strength. Even if it weakens them, it will be a limited weakening."

Guardiola nodded: "Including Duncan's subsequent praise of Quaresma, it also concealed his own threat."

"Everyone knows Quaresma is the star player of Portugal's U16 team, and everyone will target Quaresma. But in a single attacking midfielder tactical system, is Quaresma really the core of this team? No... it's Duncan."

"Furthermore, the conclusion regarding whether Cristiano Ronaldo is suitable to play as a center forward is also a smokescreen."

"That kid can play center forward, he definitely can!"

"If I could coach the team, I would call him immediately, even if he were thirty-six or thirty-seven. His attacking power, his shooting skills, and especially his goal-scoring instinct."

Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, I can only say that my English is not good enough to describe him!

Iniesta raised his hand: "But we're both Spanish, why are you using English?"

Guardiola was speechless: "It's just a way of describing him, expressing my high regard for him."

"I admit that the kid named Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't seem to have much talent, and it's hard to believe he has the potential to become a superstar. But we can't deny his overwhelming performance at his current age."

"With Quaresma drawing defenders, Duncan as the central attacking midfielder, and Ronaldo as the dynamic center forward, coupled with a passing player on the left flank, such as an excellent midfielder like Meireles, their attacking numbers are reduced, but their threat is not diminished at all."

sizzle!

The Spanish people gasped in shock, realizing that Spain has made a huge contribution to global warming.

Iniesta was dumbfounded: "Should we expose him? Immediately go to the media and expose Deng Kai's actions."

Guardiola smiled mysteriously: "So why should we help the Germans?"

"In any case, Portugal is short of men and generals. The stronger they are, the more the Germans will have to pay to defeat them."

"Conversely, even if the Portuguese create a miracle and defeat the German team, by then their depleted squad will only be more dire, and we will reap the benefits regardless."

"We have the advantage now, it would be hard to lose."

"Kids, play your best in this semi-final, and then just wait to become European champions!"

"You understand applause!"

Splash!

The Spanish U16 coaching staff received continuous applause.

Impressed!

He truly deserves to be called a midfield maestro.

Why doesn't Guardiola go into sales? Ugh... or maybe become a coach?

It's a shame he's a football player!

Only Iniesta seemed thoughtful: "What do those four-syllable words you just described mean?"

Guardiola: "These are idioms, the essence of Chinese language art, containing the wisdom of five thousand years of history. The idiom dictionary was recommended to me by Deng Kai, and it opened up a new world for me. I can find the corresponding entries for many of my ideas in it."

"If you have time, you can also learn some idioms, which might help you become a better midfielder."

Iniesta quickly wrote it down.

That very evening, Iniesta asked his family to go to the bookstore and buy him the book, which was his secret weapon for becoming stronger—the Xinhua Dictionary.

……

As Guardiola mentioned.

Portugal's opponent in the semi-finals is Germany U16.

There are many people in this team who are acquaintances of Deng Kai.

Yes, Ram, Schweinsteiger, Hitzlsperger, and the others.

But this German U16 team is much stronger than Bayern U15.

Because the core of this team is Bayern U17!

In addition, there is one Dortmund player and three Stuttgart players.

In Germany, if you're not a Bayern Munich player but get called up to the national team, it only proves that you're really good, and it also proves that a Bayern contract is on its way.

However, after observing the team, Deng Kai did not think that the team was anything to be afraid of.

The only advantage this team has over Bayern U15 is that they have one more player, Kevin Kuranyin.

Kuranyin is a typical German-style center forward, but his career development has never met expectations.

His individual ability is quite good. In Germany, where there are not many outstanding strikers, Kuranyin was once one of the most consistent homegrown strikers.

However, his career was tragically interrupted by the arrival of German coach Joachim Löw.

Löw's appointment signifies a fundamental change in the German team's tactics.

Forwards like Kuranyin, who lack refined footwork and ground passing ability, are victims of this transformation.

In fact, Deng Kai believes that this German U16 team puts far less pressure on their team than the Dutch U16 team.

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