Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The football grazed over the wall and curved into the goal.

"Beautiful! A direct free kick into the net!"

"Deng Kai puts the team ahead again! Considering the time limit, this could very well be a game-winning goal!"

"What's going on with Ferrens' wall? They didn't jump at all!"

"This was a huge mistake! Feirense's goalkeeper was very confused and he was blaming the wall players."

"Ferenc is underestimating Duncan's free kicks. You have to understand, Duncan has scored quite a few world-class goals. How could his free-kick skills be bad?"

Are there any midfield maestros who aren't good at free kicks? No! Absolutely not!

Deng Kai: Uh...

Ultimately, thanks to Deng Kai's goal and assist, Moreirense secured their second consecutive victory in the second half of the season.

Deng Kai contributed a goal and an assist in two consecutive matches, seamlessly integrating into the team.

While Cristiano Ronaldo, who shone even brighter during his youth academy years, contributed in the first half, he still went through a goal drought.

Yes, a game without scoring is also called a goal drought.

After all, it's clear to everyone that Ronaldo's performance has declined significantly compared to his youth training days.

Some media outlets have therefore raised a very crucial question:

"Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have become mediocre after his heart surgery!"

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese prodigy whose career was ruined by injuries!

Quaresma's successor has faded from the spotlight due to a heart condition!

Simão's dominance on the left flank has vanished, and Cristiano Ronaldo has become the player who loses possession the most in the team for two consecutive matches!

With only one goal and zero assists in two matches, would he have been even better if he hadn't undergone heart surgery?

"It was only a matter of time before this fake genius was exposed! Cristiano Ronaldo's strength during his youth academy years stemmed solely from his speed and physique beyond his years. Under pressure in a professional team, his performance was utterly disastrous!"

Two matches, one goal scored, one yellow card drawn, and several free kicks and corner kicks.

This was clearly a good performance, but in the media's eyes, compared to Ronaldo's past performances, it became a sin.

After all, during his youth training period, Cristiano Ronaldo averaged 1.5 goals and nearly two goal contributions per game.

These comments directly resulted in Ronaldo spending even less time in training.

Moreirense's players were all intimidated by Ronaldo.

With this much training, did he ever find money on the training field?

They're working way too hard.

The seasoned veterans have long since stopped doing extra training.

The younger players, however, have increased their training volume under Ronaldo's influence.

Moreover, the young people get along quite well, and they even play games during training, which is a way of making the best of a bad situation.

"He's so hardworking!" The team's assistant coach said with some emotion as he looked at Ronaldo on the training field. "There are so many talented players, but very few are as persistent as him. I even wish the media would keep saying he's no good."

"Because I'm afraid that if all the media praises him, he will lose his motivation."

Triguera shook his head: "He's a good player; his professionalism will likely become legendary in the future. But..."

Deng Kai said, "He will never become the leader of the players."

The assistant coach looked at Deng Kai, as if to say, "How is that possible?"

Such an outstanding player will naturally become a leader.

Deng Kai laughed and said, "Those who lead by example can at most become generals, but the top marshals are often not battlefield warriors. When Ronaldo puts all his energy into training, he has no other energy to deal with relationships with his teammates."

He will earn everyone's respect, but it will be difficult for him to gain their friendship and support.

The assistant coach frowned: "Why?"

Deng Kai said, "If you have a colleague who always voluntarily works overtime, would you like him? No... you might even hate him, even if you know he's giving 100% to his work."

"Human nature is lazy, but Ronaldo's presence forces some players to work harder. If people can't overcome laziness through their own motivation, then they will resent that external force."

"As a child, I hated my parents and teachers who made me study, so I rebelled. As an adult, I hated my exploitative jobs and bosses, so I gave up. After having children, I resented the pressure they put on my life, so I hope they will succeed and not let me down."

"Self-disciplined people don't blame the world; they want to change it. People who are externally disciplined complain about everything."

Unfortunately, 99 percent of the people in this world are subject to external regulation.

"Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo will only be hated, not liked."

Triguera laughed and said, "Then why? I can tell you really like Ronaldo. Sometimes you're almost like Ronaldo's external discipline. I remember dragging him up to train a few times, making him suffer a lot."

Looking at the young players on the football field, Deng Kai said, "That's because I'm also a self-disciplined person."

Assistant coach: "But you're very popular with everyone."

Deng Kai shrugged: "Because some people think that self-discipline is purely a personal matter, like Cristiano Ronaldo. But I believe that self-discipline also affects others, so I will exercise some restraint."

Assistant coach: "To put it bluntly, it's all about emotional intelligence."

Deng Kai: "Hey, I didn't say that."

night.

Back at his residence, Ronaldo remained sullen.

Deng Kai noticed that he seemed troubled and asked, "Is there anything you can't figure out? Why don't you consult the master?"

"You dare to challenge me?" Cristiano Ronaldo scoffed. "I don't know how to balance fancy dribbling and minimalist dribbling."

well.

As expected of C-single-line Luo.

When you give him a choice, he develops selective depression instead.

"Do you know any ancient Chinese martial arts manuals? The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Thirteen Deadly Swords, the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts..." Deng Kai asked inscrutably.

"So they can be used to play football?" Ronaldo didn't like listening to Deng Kai's rambling.

Deng Kai: "Yes, but it's unnecessary. The point of this is to tell you that fixed moves and techniques are very necessary for beginners who can't yet fully grasp the concepts."

"With your level of intelligence, it's still a bit difficult for you to choose the right way to get past someone based on the situation."

"So I'll give you a formula, and you can plug it into it."

"When you find that your opponent is relatively weak and their defense is relatively poor, add a simple dribble after about every three fancy dribbles."

"When you find that your opponent is strong but has a weak defense, after every two fancy dribbles you should add a simple dribbling move."

"When the opponent is weak but has a strong defense, you should add a fancy dribble after every two simple dribbles."

"When the opponent is strong and has a strong defense, you should use three minimalist moves plus one fancy move."

"If we fix the proportions like this, you won't get confused, right? Don't tell me you can't handle this kindergarten-level number arrangement."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded in satisfaction.

I'm really looking forward to the next game.

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