Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"The score of 4 to 1 was a huge blow to Gil Vicente's players, and the coach's pep talk during halftime had no effect."

Morale greatly affects a player's fighting spirit.

When Brazil played South Korea in the knockout stage of the Qatar World Cup, everyone thought that a Brazilian player would be injured by the South Koreans, after all, the South Koreans are notorious for being dirty.

However, Brazil stunned the South Koreans with two goals in the first ten minutes.

At that moment, both the fans watching the game and the South Korean players themselves could feel the huge gap between them and their opponents.

So much so that the South Korean players couldn't even get dirty, let alone try to score a goal.

Even if it's dirty, it should only be dirty when there's a chance of winning.

When there's absolutely no hope, the players can really feel lost.

Therefore, for a period of twenty minutes, Gil Vicente's players almost entirely gave up on attacking.

They were able to get some possession, and they posed a certain threat in both defense and attack in the first half.

But in the second half... sorry, there was no threat whatsoever.

This situation is tantamount to surrendering.

In the 73rd minute, Moreirense's left-back, Serafim, found an opportunity to deliver a cross.

Anderson headed the ball towards the goal, but it hit the opponent's leg and went out of bounds.

At this point, both teams will usually raise their hands immediately to indicate that they have possession of the ball, until the referee or linesman indicates whether the ball is a goal kick or a corner kick.

The referee's gesture clearly indicated it was a corner kick.

"Ha!"

Deng Kai clenched his fist and shouted excitedly.

It was as if he had created the corner kick, leaving Gil Vicente's players speechless.

This usually happens when a full-back makes a brilliant tackle, interrupting the opponent's attack. Even if it gives the opponent a throw-in, it's still a morale booster as a successful defensive play.

Or, an attacking player might try to kick the ball towards a defender just before it goes out of bounds, thus creating a corner kick or throw-in that wouldn't otherwise exist.

But Deng Kai didn't participate in the attack at all.

Why is he so excited?

This kind of performance, when encountered by players with short tempers, would lead to them questioning Deng Kai and even getting into verbal altercations.

But Gilvinson doesn't have that.

They all fell silent.

Like the South Korean players who danced four times in a row after scoring a goal, their morale was dwindling.

Honestly, from a purely competitive standpoint, disregarding reputation (which they didn't even consider, it's purely a lack of confidence), when the Brazilian players celebrated their third dance, the South Korean team could have protested, and even proactively instigated a conflict on the field while keeping things under control.

It's not that I'm advocating violence, but given the circumstances at the time, this was the only way to revitalize the South Korean team's morale.

Momentum is something that can be both unimportant and crucial, sometimes even determining the outcome of a match.

This is an indispensable and extremely important element in any incredible comeback!

Deng Kai walked to the corner flag area, placed the soccer ball, and prepared to take the corner kick.

He held up two fingers and then raised the corner flag.

Under the combined influence of Schmeichel's roar and the 4-1 scoreline, Gil Vicente's players were like they had sandbags on their backs, unable to jump at all.

boom!

Conversely, boosted by the double morale boost, Kilop leaped into the air, his jump reaching a height comparable to that of a flying Portuguese.

Football shot goes into the box violently.

Moreirense's player scored the third goal of the match.

Five to one!

"Morelens' strength is probably far beyond everyone's imagination."

"You know, Gil Vicente has never suffered such a large defeat this season!"

"Going back three rounds, Gil Vicente even held the top spot in the standings."

"Morellens is too strong! Especially Duncan, he's a complete offensive engine! He's already got a hat-trick of assists in this game!"

"Regardless of whether Moreirense can achieve promotion this season, Duncan will definitely not appear in the Portuguese Second Division next season."

"I've heard that Porto is very interested in players like Duncan and Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, Sporting Lisbon would never sell its outstanding youth academy graduates to Porto, a direct competitor."

According to an unnamed source, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United, AC Milan, Juventus, Lazio, and other teams are all monitoring Duncan and Ronaldo!

Eighty-first minute.

Deng Kai, playing in a low-key manner, handed over control of the field to his teammate Emerson and pulled away the defensive players.

Emerson also has some organizational skills, helping his teammates to penetrate and attack.

boom!

When Emerson organized his teammates for the second time, he seized the opportunity and delivered a through ball.

After receiving the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled past two players and scored, making the score 6-1 and completing his hat-trick!

In one match, two players scored hat-tricks.

It would be difficult for Moreirense to lose.

The players were completely hyped up, and each of them started putting on their own shows to some extent.

In the 88th minute, Alex made five consecutive feints on the wing, causing Anderson in the penalty area to stop making any runs.

This technique is so soothing it makes you sleepy.

The key point is that Alex didn't pass the ball out in the end.

His cross was kicked out of bounds by the opponent, resulting in a corner kick.

Deng Kai took a corner kick, and Anderson's header was saved.

Alex found an opening at the far post and slotted home the rebound.

Seven to one!

Ninety-second minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo feigned cutting inside from the wing, but actually crossed from the byline to create a dangerous situation.

But Anderson didn't get there in time, and the ball was cleared by the opponent to outside the penalty area.

Deng Kai's position wasn't particularly good, so he couldn't volley the ball directly.

After the ball was stopped, the opponent closed in, and Deng Kai's long-range shot was blocked by the opponent's shoulder and bounced towards Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes a long-range shot from a tight angle on the left side of the penalty area.

At such a narrow angle, there's absolutely no way a goal could be scored.

The football hit the defender and bounced high.

Gil Vicente's defenders blocked Anderson and Flavio, while another player cleared the ball with a long kick.

However, after failing to score from outside the box, Deng Kai charged directly into the penalty area.

Facing the opponent's large foot, Deng Kai jumped and turned around.

boom!

The soccer ball hit Deng Kai's back.

Deng Kai felt like his heart was about to be pounded out.

But at the same time, the football bounced back from behind Deng Kai and went straight into the far corner of the goal.

A successful back-row lob shot!

After the goal, Deng Kai didn't even realize he had scored; he thought someone had headed the ball on again.

"Eight to one! This score is unbelievable!"

Gil Vicente not only lost three points, but their goal difference also decreased significantly. Currently, they have the lowest goal difference among the top four teams, and if any teams tie on points, they will be relegated to the bottom, making their hopes of promotion to the Portuguese league increasingly slim!

"Deng Kai also completed a hat-trick. A total of three hat-tricks were scored in this match: one by Ronaldo, two by Deng Kai... Um... the word 'hat-trick' here is a quantifier, not a verb."
