Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Wait, what is Deng Kai complaining about to the referee?"

"Retake? The referee signals for another penalty kick! A player committed a foul!"

"It's Hitzlsperger! He's already inside the penalty area. Duncan has been keeping a close eye on the penalty area; he's really cunning."

"Deng Kai and Quaresma had a conversation, and it seemed like he was encouraging Quaresma."

"Alright, Quaresma is ready to take the penalty again... Goal! Goal! Quaresma scores his second penalty!"

"Four-nil! Portugal has ended the match an hour early!"

"The German players have lost their spirit; they've been completely overwhelmed once again."

Because of the high number of goals, there were a full four minutes of added time in the first half.

This is also a torment for the German team.

Portugal passed the ball around easily in midfield, and Germany didn't press them.

It looked like stoppage time was about to end.

Deng Kai, positioned deep, delivered a powerful ground pass that sliced ​​through the grass and completely pierced the German team!

The German players paid the price for their passivity.

They are all close to the ball, and if they are in good form, many of them have a chance to disrupt it.

But now, they're just a tiny bit away from being a football player.

Cristiano Ronaldo starts... Cristiano Ronaldo falls!

Cristiano Ronaldo...

Klinger tackled and knocked down Ronaldo.

The referee then blew his whistle.

Klinger received Germany's third yellow card.

He offered no explanation, stood up, and walked towards the penalty area, knowing that his action would definitely earn him a card, so there was nothing more to say.

This is a free kick in an excellent position, perfect for a direct shot from either side or at any distance.

Quaresma happily ran over from the right wing, ready to take the free kick.

A hat trick was clearly beckoning to him.

But halfway through the run, he stumbled... and his sneakers fell off.

Quaresma frowned slightly.

Many football players are quite superstitious.

Or rather, some psychological suggestion is needed.

This suggestion can make you more determined and more confident.

But sometimes it can have the opposite effect.

It makes you feel confused and afraid.

Quaresma felt this was a hint from God.

He had already missed a penalty kick.

He figured he wouldn't be able to score that free kick.

So after Quaresma tied his shoelaces, he walked over to Duncan and whispered in Duncan's ear, "Why don't you take this free kick?"

Deng Kai was a little surprised.

Even within a club, this kind of access is not easily shared.

Moreover, the national team is just a makeshift, temporary team.

Xiao Kua knows a lot about water.

No wonder Simão and Ronaldo had a falling out, but Quaresma has always been regarded as a close friend by Ronaldo.

You still need to read the book "Emotional Intelligence".

As Quaresma deliberately moved away from the ball, the commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Oh! Quaresma gave the free kick to Duncan?"

"This could be a hat trick opportunity!"

"Quaresma's free kicks are very accurate; he scored directly from a free kick in his second game."

"Such noble character! The unity of the Portuguese team is truly impressive. With such a team atmosphere, it's no wonder they made it to the semi-finals."

"Hey, why is Ronaldo walking towards Deng Kai?"

In the footage, when the referee signaled that a penalty could be taken, Ronaldo walked towards Duncan instead.

Deng Kai knew what Ronaldo meant; he wanted to cover for him.

But the next moment, Deng Kai had a sudden inspiration and winked at Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo understood perfectly.

These soulmates can often understand each other's meaning with just a glance.

So Ronaldo came over to Deng Kai and said loudly, "Let me kick this ball."

Deng Kai shook his head.

Cristiano Ronaldo kept explaining, even holding up two fingers, as if to say that he had already scored twice and was just one goal away from a hat-trick.

Then everyone remembered that this was Cristiano Ronaldo's first opportunity to complete a hat-trick with the national youth team.

His excitement is understandable.

However, Deng Kai kept shaking his head, and even became agitated.

The two began to push each other.

This left the Portuguese fans in the stands completely bewildered.

These... plastic brothers?

The Sporting Lisbon duo are indeed at odds!

People can share hardship, but not prosperity.

Is the CD about to break?

Finally, with a burst of strength from Deng Kai, Ronaldo was pushed away.

Many people were surprised by this.

They originally thought Deng Kai would be the one pushed away.

boom!

Deng Kai poked the football.

The football rolled in the direction Ronaldo was pushed back, and Ronaldo suddenly turned around and accelerated while retreating.

The German team's defensive wall was positioned specifically to counter Deng Kai's positioning.

Now, Cristiano Ronaldo is closer to the penalty area and further to the right, completely avoiding the wall of players.

"Stop him!"

"He's going to shoot!"

"It's him!"

Ram and the others realized what was happening and quickly reminded him.

A player in the wall ran towards Ronaldo.

But we were always a step too late.

boom!

Once the ball was in position, Ronaldo unleashed a powerful shot.

He unleashed a stunning long-range shot from just outside the penalty area, completely unhindered!

The ball was caught off guard and went into the net from a very tight angle, almost at the tenth-tenth of the way down.

Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting skills are evident.

"Goal! Goal!"

"A beautiful tactical free kick!"

"Deng Kai and Ronaldo had a disagreement over their sheepskin outfits. Deng Kai pushed Ronaldo away while simultaneously passing him the ball, and Ronaldo then unleashed a powerful shot that looked as comfortable as a shooting practice session!"

"Five to zero!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo has completed a hat-trick! This is his first hat-trick representing his national team!"

"He's played five games for the team so far in this tournament, scoring six goals! That's incredibly efficient!"

"Also, let's congratulate Deng Kai, this is his fourth assist of the match! This is also his first four-assist game for the Portuguese U-20 national team!"

"Unexpectedly, Germany suffered another blow in the final second of the first half!"

"I believe that this score is beyond what tactics can salvage."

"Germany's only task in the second half is to prevent Portugal from scoring again, otherwise the score will be too ugly, and these kids will lose their faith in football!"

The match then entered halftime.

Viorante's smile never stopped in the locker room; her cheekbones will probably be sore tomorrow.

He mainly emphasized health issues to everyone.

Portugal cannot afford any more player injuries.

Quaresma, Ronaldo, Duncan, Meireles, and others received extra instructions.

They have virtually no replacements.

Deng Kai also suggested to Viorante that they could consider replacing these players earlier.

Anyway, I've never heard of anyone losing a game where they're leading 5-0.

Barcelona: ? ? ?

Paris:???

Viorante accepted Duncan's suggestion.

The second half.

Deng Kai was almost invisible, running to the defensive midfield position.

Let the versatile midfielder Amorim go up front more often to receive the ball.

Amorin looked very unhappy, and in his heart he kept cursing!

That Deng Kai is a real jerk.

You're afraid of getting hurt, but I'm not, right?

The key point is that after Violante discovered Deng Kai had switched positions without permission, she actually gave him a thumbs up. Her expression practically said, "Yes, Deng Kai, you did the right thing. You need to protect yourself and let Amorin get taken down! Let Amorin absorb the damage for you!"

This left Amorim with no choice but to bear the brunt of the German players' anger on behalf of Deng Kai, leaving him feeling incredibly resentful.

Fifty minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo was brought down by a German player during a challenge.

Viorante immediately brought on Lorenzo to replace Ronaldo.

Fifty-second minute.

After a while of waiting, Deng Kai passed the ball out, helping right-back Bosingwa to hit a one-two.

Bosingwa then went down the wing and combined with Quaresma to cut inside.

Quaresma passed the ball back in a triangular pass, and Amorin, who was positioned far forward, arrived just in time to announce his defection from Genghis Khan's camp and scored with a long-range shot.

Six to zero!

After scoring, Amorim immediately turned and rushed towards Deng Kai, overjoyed.

Kai is awesome!

Thank you, Kai Shao, for making this possible!

Kai is the best!

If Deng Kai hadn't switched positions without permission, how could Amorim have gotten such a good long-range shooting opportunity?

His duties do not allow him to be in this area frequently.

Having a ball is like having a mother.

Amorim, of course, chose to forgive.

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