Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"I...I'm going to sue you! We're going to call the police!" The burly Argentine man seemed somewhat unwilling to give up, but when someone came up to pull him away, he was able to do it again.

As soon as someone lets go, he stops talking, just like the little dog in the funny video.

"I'm really sorry for ruining your table of food, but you've also dirtied my table." Deng Kai didn't even lift his eyelids. Cristiano Ronaldo, Shao Jiawei, Wu Xudong, Yu Shihao, and Hao Junmin stood around him, giving off a gangster movie vibe. "As for calling the police, I don't care."

"This store has surveillance cameras, and everything that happened is recorded clearly."

"It's crystal clear who made the first move."

"If there are any follow-ups, I will notify my lawyer to follow up throughout the process."

"By the way, my name is Deng Kai, a player for Sporting Lisbon."

"I don't want to create a bad impression of Argentinians, but I'm sorry to say that the Argentinians I've met so far are indeed like that. As Argentinians, you represent the image of the entire country when you're out and about."

"You have now successfully tarnished the reputation of your country."

"I am wary of your entire country until I meet new, friendly Argentinians."

"Don't blame me for generalizing, and don't make me reflect. You are the ones who caused this problem. Argentina, not myself, should be the ones to take the initiative to seek my forgiveness."

"Whether in Portugal or China, I welcome you as a guest; if you come to do evil... I'll play along!"

Splash!

applause!

The fans in the restaurant kept applauding.

It's not because Deng Kai is a player, but because what he said was really good.

Argentine fans are already bad-behaved at home, but to act like this abroad is just unacceptable. Someone will have to teach them a lesson!

Kacha!

A reporter pressed the shutter and took a precious photo.

In the photo, Deng Kai is sitting alone at a dining table, surrounded by his five generals.

Across from them was a group of Argentinians, their faces bruised and swollen, looking timid and hesitant.

Like a world-famous painting.

……

Is Caesar getting arrogant? Duncan assaulted an Argentinian fan in a restaurant; he doesn't deserve to be a player!

The Bora newspaper always knows how to smear Deng Kai.

They published a headline immediately.

That world-famous painting was photographed by their reporter.

The reporter arrived rather late and didn't learn the specifics of what happened, but he did know that Deng Kai had gotten into a fight with someone.

That's it.

Players are, after all, semi-public figures. When they fight with ordinary people, it's always wrong of them to ignore the facts.

But Bora was terribly wrong this time.

Because several authoritative Portuguese media outlets subsequently sided with Kai.

Argentinians fighting for seats, Sporting Lisbon star Duncan doesn't tolerate it! Fighting!

"Cristiano Ronaldo's anger over Deng Kai sparks a brawl among the Chinese players; do you support Deng Kai's actions?"

"Never Forget Our Original Aspirations! Rising Chinese-American Star Deng Kai Angrily Rebukes Argentinians: You Can't Take What's Chinese From Us!"

The Record newspaper interviewed eyewitnesses who provided a more detailed account of the incident: "Those seats were reserved. I wanted to sit there too, since it's the best place to watch the game, but I didn't. I knew I wasn't the one who reserved them, and I couldn't break the rules. Wouldn't that be robbery?"

"When the Argentinians arrived, they not only took over the tables and seats that others had reserved, but they also started singing and dancing. Although we fans cheered a little, they were too loud and oblivious to others, which was very disruptive."

"Deng Kai first communicated with them. Yes, I was at the next table, and I heard it very clearly. After they checked Deng Kai's order and found out that the seat belonged to Deng Kai, they stopped talking to him, as if they hadn't checked it at all."

"Give up? Of course not. They started singing and dancing again, showing no intention of giving up their seats for Deng Kai. If I remember correctly, they cursed at Deng Kai and told him to get out and get out of the way."

"Ronaldo was furious. He wouldn't allow anyone to talk about his good friend like that. He flipped the table, and frankly, I think he had the right to do that because it was their spot. He only needs to be accountable to the restaurant, not to the Argentinians."

"The Argentinians wanted to hit Ronaldo, and they did. Then Duncan and Ronaldo started fighting back in self-defense. Then the Chinese F4 rushed in. The Argentinians lost quickly; they were just big guys."

This incident caused quite a stir, and the police intervened at one point.

However, after reviewing the restaurant's surveillance video, Lisbon police concluded that Deng Kai and his group were not at fault.

Subsequently, Lisbon officials released the results of their investigation into the matter.

The dialogue between the two parties and related videos should be made public to prevent this matter from escalating into an international incident.

The Chinese Embassy in Portugal has spoken out about this incident, expressing concern for the physical and mental well-being of the young Chinese players and condemning the inappropriate behavior of the Argentine side.

The Argentine embassy staff were stunned.

Are Chinese people really this arrogant now?

They hit our people, and now they expect us to apologize?

Perhaps we'll pay attention to you in twenty years, after all, China will be a superpower by then, with its international standing growing day by day, but right now... haha, I can't hear you!

The Argentinians are playing dead, trying to stall the matter.

But what they didn't expect was that the news would spread rapidly throughout Europe.

There are plenty of football hooligans in Europe, but the football culture runs deeper. Who the hell doesn't hate people who take up seats?

Especially those fans who bought a 100-euro ticket but insisted on sitting in someone else's 300-euro ticket.

Italian newspapers such as La Repubblica and Tuttosport, English newspapers such as Sky Sports, The Times and Manchester Evening News, German newspapers such as Kicker and Bild, French newspapers such as France Football, Spanish newspapers such as Marca and AS, all reprinted the news and commented on the event.

The vast majority of people support Deng Kai.

The Sun went even further, stating unequivocally: "We will not use female models from Argentina until Argentina apologizes to Deng Kai. We are not targeting anyone or discriminating against anyone; we simply do not use controversial individuals."

Subsequently, The Sun published photos of Hathaway's promotional tour in North America for the film. The Sun had already reached a deep cooperation agreement with the Los Angeles Daily News, and both parties were very satisfied with the previous paparazzi photos.

Gabi, a Spanish youth team player who had previously clashed with Deng Kai, was asked by reporters for his opinion on the matter during the open training day.

Gabby: "Dunkai is definitely not a good player in my eyes. I hate him. Because he always manages to win on the court, he embarrasses me and makes me make mistakes."

"But in any case, this is on the pitch. And he never achieved this by deliberately injuring others; he always stayed within the rules. Sometimes I have to admit that this is actually a kind of football wisdom."

"His playing style is unpleasant, but he's clearly not a football bully. And that's when he's at his most aggressive on the pitch. I think he handled this situation well enough."

"I guarantee that very few people have the patience to communicate for that long; many would have already started fighting."

Similarly, Iniesta, who played against Duncan, also gave an interview: "Duncan's tackle on me ruined my chance to save Spain, but even in that situation, he still didn't stop me with scissor tackles, exposed studs, or other dangerous methods."

"It sounds strange, but the kick he gave me that time was really gentle."

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