Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

For some reason, Cristiano Ronaldo sneezed in the distance.

He seemed to have heard some unpleasant words.

What do you mean by forcing something?

Reporter: "You received a red card and a yellow card during the match. Do you consider your behavior respectable?"

Deng Kai glanced at it and saw it was the Daily Sports newspaper.

As expected of Barcelona's mouthpiece, they're clearly standing up for Iniesta.

Deng Kai flashed a bright white smile: "Hmm... how can it not count?"

"Red and yellow cards certainly mean there was a foul, but I have never played football with the intention of injuring anyone, and I believe everyone can see that Iniesta was not really hurt."

"I prevented a potential goal, so I got a red card. By comparison, my red card should have been much faster than Gabi's."

When one tactic failed, a reporter from Diario Sport tried another: "What about Bosingwa? What about his red card? Should his flying kick at Gabi be prosecuted?"

Deng Kai clearly disagreed: "What is being judged? How should it be judged? I believe many people can understand Bosingwa's anger, but understanding doesn't mean it should exist, so he received a red card."

"If a problem is solved on the field, it should be resolved on the field. Why is a trial necessary afterward?"

"Am I still holding a grudge about Gabi's red card?"

The reporters were full of questions. "Aren't you going to keep bringing up Gabi's red card?"

Seeing that the Spanish media was going too far, Jiang Yunzhu took the initiative to help Deng Kai out of the predicament and asked some questions that everyone wanted to hear.

Deng Kai began praising his teammates one by one: "Postiga is an excellent center. He can execute any tactic the head coach sets up. He has great versatility and potential."

"When a superstar like Quaresma is willing to lie on the grass to block free kicks, it's not hard to accept that his team can win the championship."

"Mereles is definitely the most underrated midfielder in this European U-16 tournament. In my opinion, his talent is in no way inferior to Iniesta, but he is willing to quietly dedicate himself to the defensive midfield position because of his versatility."

"I hope that players who buy Meireles in the future will see this in him; he deserves the treatment of a midfield maestro in any team!"

"Fonte is always the team's most reliable defender; his defensive ability is significantly superior to that of other center-backs in this tournament. He's also incredibly brave. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope he'll be back on the first-team roster soon!"

"Veloso only learned yesterday that his father had transferred from Benfica to Porto. But he was able to perform brilliantly in this game without being affected, and his performance is enough to convince people that his father made the right choice by transferring for him."

"I told Veloso yesterday that I hope he can continue to grow so well. I hope he will have the opportunity to play for the Portuguese national team as soon as possible, and I even look forward to the scene of him and his father wearing the Portuguese jersey together and winning glory for the country."

"Cristiano Ronaldo? Ronaldo doesn't need my evaluation; he's one of the best strikers in this tournament. He will definitely become one of the best strikers in the world in the future, or even surpass that."

"He was the only player who headed that free kick with his eyes open. His courage and sense of responsibility have made him who he is today, and will shape him in the future."

Deng Kai's flood of positive comments, praising him as a "good guy," will surely move his teammates who watch the post-match interviews.

Because the points he made were the points that those players cared about and wanted others to see.

Especially Merrell.

He did make a huge sacrifice in his position on the court for Deng Kai.

Afterwards, Deng Kai found a staff member and asked for a soccer ball for the match.

To be precise, it was the football that scored his second goal.

This has unparalleled commemorative (market) significance for him. The organizers were generous and did not even require Deng Kai to pay the original price of the football.

These days, commercial development related to competitions in Europe is still quite rudimentary.

It wasn't until teams like Manchester United and Liverpool were acquired by Americans that the American model of profiting from commercial sports truly began to spread in European football.

Back then, the balls used by players in each match could fetch exorbitant prices at auction.

While the value of football merchandise has skyrocketed, it has also lost its original function of conveying the emotions between players and fans.

Money has tainted emotions.

Deng Kai couldn't change that, so... he could only join ahead of time.

The three most valuable footballs he currently owns include the ball used in the final of the European U16 Championship.

One of them was the ball used in the final of the first UEFA Youth League.

And there's another one... the match ball Manchester United used in the Champions League final during the 98-99 season.

At the time, Deng Kai only mentioned it casually, just to give it a try.

Who knew that Ferguson would actually get the football back for him?

But recently Ferguson has come to his senses.

Manchester United were preparing to highlight their treble-winning season in their trophy room, but upon reflection, they realized that the three trophies and a few medals were somewhat lonely and seemed to warrant adding something more.

After asking around, it turned out that the ball used in the final was with Deng Kai.

Solskjaer, Sheringham, and Beckham's jerseys are also with Duncan.

Even Ferguson's Champions League medal is with Duncan.

Ferguson then made two phone calls to Duncan, and although he didn't say anything explicitly, it was enough to make his intentions quite clear.

However, Deng Kai, who is usually very clever, is also quite adept at playing the fool at this time.

He seemed oblivious to the unspoken meaning, which made Ferguson unable to speak.

Ultimately, Deng Kai suggested that Sheringham's autographed jersey could be placed in Manchester United's showroom.

But note that it was put on loan to Manchester United.

Ownership still belongs to Deng Kai.

He didn't mention anything about splitting the tour fees.

Manchester United wouldn't agree to that either.

But... anyone who visits the Manchester United treble exhibition site in the future will inevitably have to ask one question: why is there no match ball, no Solskjaer's jersey, no Beckham's jersey, and no Ferguson's medal?

And then the tour guide would tell them that those things were all in Deng Kai's house, or rather, it should be called Deng Kai's football museum.

Regardless of whether Deng Kai opens an exhibition hall or not, any celebrity who has collected so many precious football-related items would be very popular with fans if they opened a store selling autographed footballs and jerseys.

Here's a quick way to get rich for Wang Tao: no need for consultation fees, just send him a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey. I suggest not signing it, because I heard Wang Tao's jersey is real, but the autograph is... well...
