Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

If they lose the game, the situation will be even more dire; they will lose their qualification for the next round, meaning all their efforts throughout the season will be in vain.

On the contrary, Gil Vicente, who were ranked behind Moreirense before this round, still have a chance to challenge for second place, regardless of the outcome of Moreirense and Vizela's match.

The situation regarding qualifying is quite complex.

"Ding! Detected an opposing player who has won the Portuguese Super League title. Your striker ability has received a huge boost!"

Deng Kai is numb.

He thought the increase was something like speed, shooting ability, or physical strength.

But what does this "Pot Edge" ability mean?

There is no doubt that Karim Benzema is the future superstar of Real Madrid.

What is meant by "pot-fighting ability"?

Taking the blame?

Target man?

Are fingers more prone to injury?

Is communication with teammates more likely to be perceived as blackmail?

Deng Kai was completely baffled by his sister.

Even after moving around a bit, Deng Kai couldn't feel any difference in himself.

Is Ronaldo's fall from grace really a good thing?

drop!

With the sound of a whistle, the crucial battle of the Portuguese Second Division began.

Compared to Gil Vicente, one of the previous three giants, Vizela, who have held the top spot in the standings for a longer period, are clearly stronger.

Their midfield maestro previously played for Porto, but was let go as he got older, and instead became even more formidable with age.

Even when Deng Kai was competing with the opponent for control of the midfield, he was at a disadvantage.

It's not that Deng Kai is worse than his opponent, but rather that his opponent makes better use of his teammates than Deng Kai does.

In addition, Deng Kai attempted to shoot from the back of the field multiple times during the game. His excessive focus on attack caused the team's midfield to lose control.

The match eventually became one-sided.

"Unbelievable! The two sides took a total of thirty-six shots in this match, but not a single goal was scored!"

"The match is now in the 85th minute, and both sides are extremely agitated!"

"They both wanted to win, although in terms of the result, both teams could accept a draw, because a draw would keep their chances of winning the title or being promoted to the Portuguese league alive."

"But their players definitely don't want a draw. Because their greatest desire is to win the championship or advance, which requires them to win this game!"

"Overall, Vizela has a significant advantage. They had 68% possession today, making them the clear favorites."

"Vizela's team had 25 shots, which is far more than Morerens' 11."

"At the same time, we need to pay special attention to the fact that Deng Kai had too many shots today, a whopping seven! Six of them were long-range shots. Is he really that confident in his long-range shooting ability?"

"Although Deng Kai has indeed scored many spectacular long-range goals, judging from his performance today, his long-range shooting can hardly be considered top-notch! His wasteful shots were a major reason why the team failed to score."

"His forward runs to receive the ball and shoot, as well as the counter-attacks after his shots were blocked, were key reasons why Moreirense's midfield was severely suppressed!"

"It's fair to say that this was the worst game Duncan played since joining Moreirense."

"Ronaldo showed similar performances in the first few games after joining the team; that inability to adapt once troubled him."

"But unexpectedly, Deng Kai's rookie wall came at this time. Was it because the game was too crucial, causing Deng Kai to lose his composure?"

It has to be said that Deng Kai was misled by that "pot-fighting ability".

Today he vividly demonstrated just how disastrous a player's performance can be if they misjudge their own role.

Where is Deng Kaiqiang?

Many people are unaware of this.

He can shoot from long range, but it's not his forte.

He can make forward runs, but he's not particularly fast.

He can dribble past people, but his movements and success rate aren't particularly outstanding.

He can control the ball and engage in physical battles, but his skills and ability to perform in close situations are not particularly superior.

He can defend, but he's good at intercepting but not at stealing.

He can run, but while he can cover a lot, he can't really be considered timely.

He can pass the ball, and it's very skillful, but there's always room for improvement in his accuracy and finesse.

He has too many strengths, and you could also say he has too many weaknesses.

His strength lies in his tactical thinking, his flexibility, and his ability to always outmaneuver others by employing a strategy similar to Tian Ji's horse racing, turning his own weaknesses into advantages and then using his own strengths to exploit others' weaknesses.

He always uses his strength to attack the weak.

But today, he believes that his "pocket strike ability" has been greatly improved, which means that he has gained an increase in shooting, attacking, attacking positioning, confrontation, and pivoting.

So he played in a way that brought out those strengths.

The result was disastrous.

The incorrect information led Deng Kai to make the wrong decision.

The word "random" brought him no longer surprises, but disaster.

If he could do it all over again, Deng Kai would rather he had never received the "trophy that Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on"—a star player who fell from grace.

Even without the help of this striker, Deng Kai believes that his own abilities can contribute far more to the team than his performance in this game.

Once bitten, twice shy; Deng Kai learned his lesson, but it came a little too late.

There are less than five minutes left.

The teammates' physical condition, morale, and tactical development on the field were no longer enough to help Moreirense win this game.

Triguera also signaled for everyone to retreat and consolidate their defense.

Since we can't win, let's aim for a draw.

With a point, Moreirense can at least compete for second place.

But just as Ronaldo was preparing to retreat.

Deng Kai intercepted the ball in the backcourt.

boom!

Deng Kaichao made a long pass.

This shot lacked precision, and Deng Kai, who had been wasting shots throughout the game, was exhausted.

But Ronaldo kept running and eventually created a free kick for the team from a relatively far position.

Moreirense got a good attacking opportunity.

Although it's not as good as a corner kick, compared to Kai's previous wasteful shots, this tactical free kick is a much better opportunity.

Considering his own "sweeping forward" attributes, Deng Kai let Emerson take the tactical free kick, while he stayed in a defensive position around the penalty area.

Slap on the face!

Didn't Ma just say we shouldn't be influenced by "Guo Feng's ability"?

So you actually think you're a striker?

In response, Deng Kai said, "I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."

People always need to have something they hold onto.

boom!

Emerson took a tactical free kick.

The football flew towards the penalty area, and a gust of wind swept through the area.

Deng Kai also joined the battle, but not only did he not touch the ball, he was also pushed towards the goalpost by some unscrupulous person.

Deng Kai narrowly avoided the post and slipped into the side netting of the goal.

At the same time, the onrushing Vizela goalkeeper seized the opportunity and rushed out to catch the ball first.

He immediately made a move to launch a quick attack.

The Moreirense players were so frightened that they quickly retreated to defend.

Cristiano Ronaldo also rushed towards the goalkeeper, trying to disrupt the opponent's kickoff.

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