Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

In the 36th minute, Maniche was pushed down by Altino, who rushed over without stopping his momentum, after passing the ball.

This is a normal confrontation; it would likely result in a foul on Altino, but not a card. Most players will play like this in the future, primarily to prevent the passing player from making forward runs or receiving the ball.

Maniche was furious and got up to argue with Altino again.

Altino, though old, was still vigorous, combining the One-Finger Divine Skill and the Lion's Roar Skill, puffing out his chest with a "Go ahead and hit me" look.

The referee came over again to signal the two to calm down, and sternly pulled Altino aside to give him a second warning.

Once again, he's determined to play his card.

Altino nodded obediently again.

Thirty-nine minutes.

Altino and Maniche were vying for position off the ball and made physical contact.

Altino nudged Maniche with his elbow and whispered in Maniche's ear, "Didn't I tell you your long hair is beautiful?"

A normal man would not accept being described as "beautiful" by others.

In the movie "Summer Future" starring Zhang Zifeng and Wu Lei, the male lead reveals his orientation early on with the delighted line, "You think I'm pretty," foreshadowing future developments.

"You're disgusting! I'll fuck your whole family!" Maniche had reached his limit and could no longer hold back.

With a powerful push of his shoulder, he shoved Altino aside, then turned and pounced on him, pinning Altino to the ground and raising his fist to strike him.

However, Altino was prepared. He raised his knee and thrust his abdomen forward, flipping Maniche over his head.

This series of actions completely stunned the director.

Is this WWE?

Players from both sides immediately came over to pull the two away.

Of course, some people also started criticizing the other party.

This time, the referee didn't hesitate and showed yellow cards to Altino and Maniche, then looked at the other players with the yellow cards, as if to say, "Whoever comes on, I'll give them a yellow card."

His resolute stance quelled the war.

What the Benfica players felt was unfair was that Maniche already had a yellow card.

Maniche was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.

Pinto complained to the referee, arguing that Altino should also be sent off.

However, based on the linesman's reaction, Altino's defense was normal. Perhaps he did say something, but it's hard to use that as evidence.

Moreover, Maniche's move this time was too aggressive; if Altino hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have taken several punches.

A punching motion on the court must be strictly prohibited.

The referee told Altino that if he committed another foul, he would receive another yellow card, regardless of the circumstances.

Don't use your on-field experience to challenge a referee's intelligence.

This time, Altino finally obeyed.

Because the task Trigra assigned him had been perfectly accomplished.

To be honest, when he first heard about the task, he thought it was impossible to complete.

Because this kind of harassment is common for them, they might occasionally issue a yellow card if they encounter someone with a bad temper.

A red card is absolutely impossible.

However, Maniche... is unusually irritable.

This kind of player is really not good at playing as a striker.

Because forwards have too much contact with opposing defenders, and as the offensive player, you have to endure more fouls from the opposing team.

With the same volatile temper, defensive players are actually less easily provoked.

Since you mostly use underhanded tactics to bully others, you're the one who benefits, so why would you be angry?

What?

You're saying you're defending Neymar?

That's fine.

Horses are born with an "I'm so weak" meme; a simple dodge can infuriate a defender and cause them to make irrational decisions.

However, looking at Neymar's career, especially in major tournaments, this kind of provocation is a lose-lose situation, and it's not as beneficial as a defender provoking an attacker.

"He is indeed an excellent defender, with that kind of character," Trigla said thoughtfully.

"Altiño? He was selected for the Portuguese First Division Team in his early years," the assistant coach said.

"No, I meant Maniche," Trigra said.

After Maniche was sent off with a red card, Benfica had to play with ten men and had to adopt a more defensive formation.

The situation instantly turned into Moreirense controlling the ball.

In the 42nd minute, Ronaldo once again outmaneuvered Okunovo, broke into the vicinity of the penalty area, and delivered a triangular back pass.

Deng Kai took a shot without stopping the ball.

The ball deflected off Benfica's center-back Feliciano, hit the post, and bounced out.

Moreirense is getting closer and closer to scoring.

Forty-fifth minute.

Alex, dribbling down the right flank and finding no good opportunities to cross, passed the ball back to Emerson.

Emerson passed the cards to Duncan, who then dealt them again.

The pass was a little too weak, and the ball was moving too slowly.

Benfica midfielder Candollov saw an opportunity to intercept and immediately stepped forward.

Deng Kai half-turned to hold off Kandorov; he was no longer the short guy he used to be.

Moreover, he has been doing strength training for some time, and his core strength has improved considerably.

Let the ball pass, flick the ball.

Deng Kai turned and bypassed Kandorov, launching an attack directly in the middle lane.

Facing defensive midfielder Andrade at the edge of the penalty area, Deng Kai suddenly started using a stepover.

The bike was extremely fast, resembling the kind of electric bike that caused Deng Kai to crash in the previous game.

The video circulated so widely that Andrade was worried for Deng Kai.

But this time Deng Kai didn't mess up.

Although his electric bicycle wasn't particularly deceptive, Deng Kai suddenly flicked the ball to the right.

The football flew diagonally into the right side of the penalty area.

"Oops! Deng Kai pedaled like a zombie this time and didn't fall over, but his last kick was too hard!"

"Unless he's much faster than Andrade, he's definitely going to lose the ball."

"The key left center-back Feliciano is also very close to the ball, and he will touch the ball earlier than Deng Kai."

"Deng Kai...is he gone?"

"Deng Kai's speed was incredible! He practically devoured Andrade alive!"

"Deng Kai's action is..."

boom!

The football flies towards the Benfica goal.

The next moment, Deng Kai, who caught up with the ball and took a shot, collided with Feliciano, who rushed up to defend.

Deng Kai felt as if he had hit a wall, and was thrown in the opposite direction. After landing, he rolled several times and curled up in pain.

But he immediately opened his eyes and looked into the goal.

The net was still shaking, and the football was bouncing around inside the goal.

"Goal! Deng Kai! Deng Kai scores!"

"This is our Caesar!"

"One to two, Moreirense has pulled one back."

"They have at least fifty minutes to score their next goal."

"The Moreirense players were very excited, and the Sporting Lisbon fans in the stadium were also very excited."

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