Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"There was nothing wrong with Spain's defense. Even Gabi's attack was just like moving a brick in a wall."

"Who would have thought that this very brick would become the very route Deng Kai used to tie the game?"

"Gabi's move was clearly aimed at a red card, but he didn't get one and couldn't stop Deng Kai. With only two or three minutes left in the game, it'll probably have to go into extra time."

"Oh! What's wrong, Reina? Reina seems to be in a lot of pain?"

"The Spanish team doctor enters the field. This inevitably brings to mind Deng Kai's devastating shot in the UEFA Youth League this season."

"At the time, the opposing goalkeeper saved Deng Kai's shot, but not only did he fail to prevent the goal, he also broke his own hand."

"That's Deng Kai for you. His long-range shots aren't very consistent, but you can always trust him in crucial moments."

"Substituted! Reina has been substituted!"

"It seems Reina's hand isn't seriously injured, but he definitely has a sprain or something in his wrist. Bringing Valdes on is a safer option; Valdes's goalkeeping ability is no less than Reina's."

"With him on the team, Spain's defense remains unaffected, making them the only team in this European U17 Championship with two goalkeepers. Their depth and overall strength in that position are even greater than those of the Czech Republic."

"Valdes has finished warming up. He came on as a substitute and conveyed some of the coach's instructions to the team. Spain should be able to make a move in extra time."

"After all, for the stronger team, being dragged into a penalty shootout is also a kind of loss."

The football was then kicked off.

Spain's team unusually aggressive passing.

They wanted to launch one last attack before the game ended.

However, their pass was intercepted by Veloso, who made a crucial defensive play.

The Portuguese players went all out, aiming for one last attack.

There was only one minute left.

Veloso passed the ball to Deng Kai, who then passed it to Quaresma, who had dropped back, before making a run forward himself.

Quaresma was pressed and passed back to Veloso.

Veloso didn't care about anything else and launched a long ball towards the Spanish penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lorenzo are attacking Spain's defense.

Deng Kai made a run from the back row, but instead rushed past from the side, making him the most likely to receive the ball.

But Gabi kept an eye on Deng Kai and followed him to the vicinity of the penalty area.

He wouldn't let Deng Kai pass, no matter who else he let pass.

However, Gabi underestimated Deng Kai's physical strength and speed at this stage.

Gabi got involved in too many confrontations today.

He was surprised to find that he was falling behind Deng Kai.

As Deng Kai approached the edge of the penalty area, the ball was about to land near the penalty area line.

At that distance, Valdes might not be able to get the ball even if he comes out to intercept it.

He clearly hasn't fully adapted to the pace of the game yet, and he hasn't been able to utilize even his best attacking style for the time being.

He was somewhat nervous inside, clearly not as relaxed as his expression suggested.

At the crucial moment, Gabi could only deliver a flying kick to the departing Deng Kai!

Yes!

This is a standard martial arts move.

Bruce Lee's style.

Deng Kai felt a force coming from his back.

But coincidentally, he was preparing to exert his strength to leave the Earth's surface.

In this way, this force actually became a driving force.

Deng Kai pushed off with both legs and leaped into the air.

Like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, it flew forward.

At the same time, Valdes rushed out and punched the football, just like Superman's signature move.

boom!

boom!

Deng Kai headbutted the football away.

Valdes' fist slammed into Deng Kai's head.

The two collided.

The football then fell into the goal.

After a silence that lasted for three seconds.

A deafening roar erupted throughout the Strahov Stadium!

"Goal!"

"goal!"

'

"goal!"

! "

"3-2! Deng Kai scores twice in three minutes, helping Portugal to a 3-2 victory over Spain!"

"Invincible! Deng Kai is invincible!"

"Caesar has returned! Tremble, Spain!"

In the video, the Portuguese players excitedly rush towards Deng Kai.

But their celebrations soon came to an abrupt end.

Because Deng Kai was lying face down on the grass, his left hand covering his waist and his right hand covering his head, completely motionless.

The screen kept replaying Deng Kai's goal.

Gabi's flying kick from behind was almost a replica of Bosingwa's move.

The referee immediately showed Gabi a red card, sending him off the field.

Valdes's flying punch missed the ball and hit Deng Kai on the head instead, earning him a yellow card.

Although he didn't mean to hurt anyone, hitting someone was wrong of him.

And that punch didn't seem to be light.

Of course, Valdes, who struggled to his feet, was also wronged.

He punched Deng Kai, but his hand hurt too.

Then Deng Kai rammed into him, delivering a powerful headbutt that nearly knocked out Valdes' internal organs.

He is also a victim.

"Team doctor! Team doctor!" Cristiano Ronaldo quickly called for the team doctor to come onto the field.

The team doctor came up and examined Deng Kai, and found that most of his injuries were hard scabs, but there was nothing seriously wrong.

However, Deng Kai said that the team doctor needed to do more checks.

In the end, the team doctor simply brought in a stretcher.

This back-and-forth trip took up a lot of time.

After the stretcher was brought in, Deng Kai said that he could still walk, and with the help of the team doctor, he slowly walked to the edge of the field.

For a moment, applause erupted from the stands.

Everyone was applauding him.

Except for Spanish fans.

On the field, wasted time cannot always be made up for.

The reason many players waste time is that they waste 30 seconds, but when the referee adds extra time, he might only add 10 seconds.

Since the pause in the game is part of the game time itself, it cannot be considered a complete waste of time.

After Spain kicked off, Deng Kai returned to the field.

The competition is not over yet.

Spain has less than a minute left.

Doesn't it look like everything is settled?

But both Guardiola and Trigár will watch this youth team match again and again years later.

Because this match was so educational.

Throughout the entire process, both teams received the wrong answer even when they made the right choice.

What does it mean that a football is round?

This match truly shows that the ball is round!

After kickoff, the Spanish team surprisingly displayed a fluid and efficient passing and control style of play.

They made a full twenty-two uninterrupted passes, moving the ball from the backfield to the midfield.

If any one of them makes a mistake, they lose the ball.

But that's just how amazing the Spanish team is.

Iniesta, as the key player, participated in eight passes.

And in the end, the ball still came to his feet.

The edge of the penalty area.

Iniesta receives the ball.

There was no one defending it.

This is a chance to become a Spanish hero.
