Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"That fake shot was manageable, but the subsequent left-footed lob pass was extremely difficult. The key is that his right foot hadn't even landed before he had to lob the ball with his left, which is almost like performing a bent-over, straight-legged jump—it's hard to generate power, yet he still managed to lob the ball to the far post!"

"1-0! Moreirense gets off to a dream start!"

"Oh! The fans in the stadium are chanting Ronaldo's name because he declined Flavio's invitation to celebrate; he didn't celebrate with his former club."

Cristiano Ronaldo's actions earned him the respect of Sporting Lisbon fans, who applauded him enthusiastically.

I, a Sporting Lisbon fan, firmly believe that a mere Moreirense cannot stop their progress.

as predicted.

Although Jardel encountered difficulties, Sporting Lisbon has more than just Jardel.

Ninth minute.

Quaresma received the ball on the right wing. After a three-second silence between him and Emerson, he suddenly unleashed a powerful cross.

Emerson was easily beaten by Quaresma.

Quaresma started cutting inside from the right wing.

Serafim retreated repeatedly, but Quaresma showed no sign of stopping and suddenly accelerated.

Accelerate while changing direction, and change direction while accelerating.

Quaresma cleanly dribbled past Serafim and charged towards the penalty area.

Fonte had no choice but to pounce.

boom!

Quaresma delivered a cross.

Jardel outjumped Kirop to head the ball into the net.

Alvalade Stadium erupted in cheers.

"Quaresma!"

"Quaresma!"

The fans chanted the names of their heroes.

Quaresma stretched out his hands to thank the fans and enjoy the cheers.

Jardel, standing to the side, frowned slightly.

It seems like he scored the goal, right?

Shouldn't Quaresma come over and celebrate with him right now?

Did he end up celebrating his own goal by asking for an assist?

Is there no distinction between superior and inferior, or primary and secondary?

These fans only recognize their own people!

They can't be tamed!

Jardel celebrated sullenly near the goal, surrounded by several players, but he and Quaresma remained clearly separated.

Subsequently, both Ronaldo and Quaresma launched their own attacking surges.

They happened to be on the same side, each tormenting the other's full-backs, yet neither of them participated in, or rather, had the means to participate in, the defensive recovery on their side, which could be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.

During this time, the commentators provided fair analysis of the performances of the two wingers.

Quaresma's performance was undoubtedly more impressive.

He had more attacking opportunities, and his dribbling and passing were more spectacular and varied.

In contrast, Ronaldo's style mainly focuses on speed, with relatively simple movements. You could say he lacks agility, or you could say he's all about skillful simplicity.

But when you compare Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma side by side, Ronaldo is already on par with Quaresma.

Don't forget, Cristiano Ronaldo is two years younger than Quaresma!

Quaresma was far more outstanding than his peers; he was a genius among geniuses.

"This Cristiano Ronaldo actually has the ability to play in the Portuguese league." Materazzi was very surprised by this.

Portugal has produced such an astonishing monster!

Unfortunately, his playing style is too simple, making it difficult to attract attention.

In this day and age, true talent is shown in how flashy your football is.

You have to play like a Brazilian.

Zidane is a prime example of someone who achieves great skill through seemingly effortless skill.

But in retrospect, Zidane's playing style was still incredibly impressive.

"It's not important how early he can play in the Portuguese league; what's important is where he can play in the future. If he's still in the Portuguese league, then it's hard to call him a genius." Maxa shared his opinion... well, that was Deng Kai's previous assessment of Ronaldo.

Deng Kai has given a detailed explanation of why Cristiano Ronaldo has never been considered a genius.

In summary, Cristiano Ronaldo is the kind of player who, if he scores 60 points, you think he's only 60 points, and if he scores 80 points, you think he's only 80 points.

A genius is someone who gets 60 points on a test, but you can see the potential in them to get 100.

"Yeah! I almost made a mistake. Being young doesn't mean he has unlimited potential. He may have already exhausted his potential. Ronaldo... he's just a player at the Portuguese league level." Materazzi felt reassured.

It seems that this would be beneficial for the players on the field to defend against Ronaldo.

In the 18th minute, while fierce fighting broke out on the flanks, the midfield also became lively.

Deng Kai made a flying tackle, seemingly exaggerated but actually precise, to snatch the football from Viana's feet.

Conversely, two minutes later, Viana used another feint to dribble past Duncan and deliver a through ball. If Jardel hadn't been a little too slow to catch up, this pass would most likely have been an assist.

The two young midfield maestros were each harboring their own secret thoughts.

Although Deng Kai successfully tackled the ball, it was actually just a test.

He wanted to see if Viana was "injury-prone," meaning he might have suffered from serious post-injury sequelae, especially since Viana had only been back in action for less than two months.

The result was not optimistic; Viana had no psychological trauma, which made his handling of the ball even more threatening.

Similarly, Viana appeared to have outmaneuvered Duncan, but he couldn't use more than two consecutive feints during the European U17 tournament.

Deng Kai is more stable than before.

If there's such a big improvement on the defensive end, what about on the offensive end?

Thirty-third minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again successfully cut inside and unleashed a long-range shot.

But Schmeichel's save was too brilliant; he actually caught Ronaldo's shot instead of making a more conservative save.

This shows that he was very confident.

He remains a world-class goalkeeper.

Against a goalkeeper like this, it's impossible to score with a regular shot.

In the 40th minute, thanks to Quaresma's movement on the right wing, Kwame Ayew on the left wing had a good opportunity and delivered a high-quality cross.

Jardel, facing two opponents, managed to win a header under pressure from Kirop and Fonte, but the ball went over the crossbar, preventing him from scoring.

However, if he continues to play like this, it's only a matter of time before he scores.

The two young men were about to lose control of the top shooter.

The time has reached the forty-fourth minute.

Morales launched an attack.

With the first half nearing its end, all teams tend to adopt a defensive posture to avoid conceding a goal in the final moments.

At the same time, it also draws the enemy's entire army forward, allowing us to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, the final moments of both halves are the peak periods for goals.

Deng Kai had the ball in the middle, and no one was coming up to defend him, so he naturally wouldn't organize an attack just for the sake of organizing an attack.

"Oh! Deng Kai is spinning with the ball, that's his signature move, a top spin, some people say it's like a compass spin."

"One lap, two laps, three laps... The fans cheered. I didn't expect them to like this."

"This kind of cheering puts pressure on the Sporting Lisbon players. When word gets out that the opposing team is putting on such a show in front of your own goal, what face does that make a strong team?"

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