Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Triguera knew right away who Duncan was talking about; he knew the Portuguese youth academy inside and out: "You mean Benfica's Maniche? I don't remember much about that player, except that he has a bad temper. It seems he doesn't have any outstanding technical skills."

[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]

Maniche, whose real name is Nuno Ricardo de Oliveira Ribeiro, yes, it doesn't contain any of the words "Maniche." That's just how the Portuguese are; their naming habits are really bizarre.

The study of their names could even be a subject for a whole course.

Maniche is twenty-two or twenty-three years old this year, and is still just an unknown illegitimate son.

But in the future, he will become famous as Mourinho's first disciple.

Porto, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan—he can be considered a playboy who rose through the ranks of top clubs.

But his greatest strength isn't in that area; it's in his amazing performances for the Portuguese national team.

In two consecutive major tournaments, Maniche scored goals to help Portugal eliminate the powerful Netherlands team, earning him the title of "Netherlands' nemesis" and solidifying his status as a world-class star.

He is one of the most formidable defensive midfielders in Portuguese history!

The following day, Moreirense seized the last opportunity of the winter transfer window and sent a loan request to Benfica.

They would be willing to accept Maniche if Benfica were willing to sell him at a low price.

This can be considered the biggest support that the owner of Morelens has given to Trigla.

Benfica agreed without even a second's hesitation.

It's clear they really dislike Maniche at this moment.

However, the deal was rejected by Maniche himself with lightning speed.

The media is very interested in this trade because the player making the move is Moreirense, who has been a major focus of attention this winter.

Trigár's only designated player to buy!

That alone is something that ordinary players cannot refuse.

At his age, Maniche certainly knows Triguera's strength in selecting and developing players.

The reporters asked a series of questions.

"Maniche, you don't want to go to the Portuguese Second Division? You're aiming for the Portuguese First Division?"

"Do you think Morales' tactics are not suitable for you?"

"Don't you like the weather in Moreirense?"

"Do you have any disagreements with Deng Kai or Cristiano Ronaldo? Otherwise, why don't you join them?"

Faced with a series of questions, Maniche immediately swore: "Because they want to bring in a defensive midfielder."

Reporters unanimously agreed that this was not unexpected, as it is normal for a team with Deng Kai as its core player to have one or two defensive midfielders.

Seeing that even the reporters had forgotten something, Maniche couldn't hold back any longer: "And me, well, I'm a right winger!"

amount……

The reporters were in an uproar.

Maniche is actually a right winger.

Damn it, after being loaned out, everyone forgot what position this player, who had no presence at Benfica, was in.

However, to say that we need a right winger to come to our team as a defensive midfielder is like telling a right winger that we need him.

It's almost a misnomer that Maniche didn't actually curse; he didn't seem particularly irritable.

This is simply the most outrageous signing in history!

"My beep, your beep beep..." Maniche's subsequent Portuguese national song was censored.

This can be considered a joke in the Portuguese transfer window.

By bringing in a right winger to play as a defensive midfielder, just how unprofessional is Triguera?

Of course, Trigra was also embarrassed.

Because he genuinely couldn't remember what position Maniche played in.

If Deng Kai says to buy, then of course we'll buy.

Trigra still trusts Deng Kai's judgment.

In the first half of the season, everyone said those Chinese players weren't good enough, but what was the result? Sporting Lisbon U17 still qualified for the North and South divisions as the top team in their region.

Faced with so much criticism, Deng Kai responded to the incident in an interview with reporters on the day the winter transfer window closed: "Mr. Triguera certainly knows that Maniche is a right winger. He just saw in Maniche the qualities that an excellent defensive midfielder should have."

"To be honest, in my personal opinion, Maniche is nothing when he plays as a winger. Nobody remembers him, and the media can attest to that."

"But Maniche, playing as a defensive midfielder, has the potential to become a national hero for Portugal!"

"Whether Morelens comes or not is not important, but I hope that Maniche can start from himself and find the path that is best for him."

This statement sparked even more discussion.

Deng Kai's words were too grand.

It's too full.

Bora newspaper: "Who does Deng Kai think he is? Does he know how disgraceful it is to play a right forward as a defensive midfielder? Does he know what it means to be a national hero of Portugal? Even Figo wouldn't dare call himself that!"

Bora reported that the firepower had been released.

Record: "With Figo and his golden generation leading Portugal to the European Championship finals, why shouldn't they call themselves heroes? Whether in their developmental stage or late in their career, what's shameful about a player changing positions? Aren't there plenty of players who have experienced a leap in performance after changing positions?"

Record the protection short.

Finally, Bora newspaper bluntly stated: "In any case, Moreirense, without significant signings in the winter transfer window, cannot achieve good results. Don't forget, they are still not out of the relegation zone!"

……

"Ding! You have acquired the blue player skills: Curved Free Kick and Volley Shot."

"Curved Free Kick: The curve of your free kicks is increased, making it easier to go around the wall."

"Volley: Your volley accuracy is improved. Because of your friendly relationship with Zidane, when you attempt a volley with your left foot side kick, there is a certain probability of activating the special effect 'Flying Shot,' which greatly enhances and optimizes the power, curve, ball speed, accuracy, and ball trajectory."

Deng Kai looked at the two skills and expressed his satisfaction.

A celestial being descending from the heavens!

Before the 2002 Champions League final even arrived, Deng Kai had already experienced Zidane's spectacular long-range volley.

These are beta testers.

Isn't it better than some electric bicycle?

After all, even a failed volley from beyond the heavens is still a volley shot.

If Cristiano Ronaldo's bicycle kick had failed, it would have been a simple slip and fall while stepping on the ball, resulting in the loss of the bicycle altogether. The risk was far too great.

That's why Deng Kai still hasn't dared to try electric bicycles on the track.

The main problem is that I don't have the nerve to admit it.

On February 2nd, the 17th round of the Portuguese Second Division kicked off.

Moreirense challenges Ferrens.

This is also a team near the relegation zone.

Moreirense has had a fairly favorable schedule during this period.

They won't encounter a top-ranked team in the league until almost the very end of the season.

This gave Deng Kai and Ronaldo ample time to adapt.

Of course, this means that Moreirense is very likely to suffer a losing streak towards the end of the season.

The 29th minute of the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo won a corner kick after a breakthrough on the wing.

The breakthrough was initially unsuccessful, as it was blocked by the opponent, but Ronaldo was lucky enough to win a corner kick.

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