Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Although speed is still the ultimate key to getting past opponents, there are at least a few more fancy moves.

He has now basically been able to maintain his dominance over Pepe.

It has to be said that, spurred on by Pepe, Ronaldo has made great progress recently.

As for Fonte... well, he's a basic player without any special characteristics, so let him train however he wants, it doesn't matter.

"You're not able to today?"

On the field, Pepe made another steal.

Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be out of form today.

"Hehe, I have things to do today, I'll deal with you properly next time." Cristiano Ronaldo said as he greeted Deng Kai, "I'm leaving for a bit, don't wait for me for dinner tonight."

Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo leave in a hurry, Deng Kai frowned.

This feels... off.

Cristiano Ronaldo never used to leave early.

Besides, he lost to Pepe today.

Given his temperament, he should have kept Pepe in a one-on-one fight until Pepe lost or deliberately lost.

Abnormal, very abnormal.

Two hours later, it was dark, and the extra training session was over.

Barzagli, Pepe, and Drogba are going out to eat, while Fonte is going home.

Yin Bu will eat later; he'll go back to the players' dormitory first.

After taking a couple of steps, he noticed that Deng Kai had followed him.

"What are you doing?" Yin Bu knew that Deng Kai didn't live in the players' dormitory.

Deng Kai and Yin Bu walked side by side: "Your movements today looked like you'd practiced. Karate? Taekwondo? Muay Thai?"

Yin Bu paused for a moment, then said, "Karate."

Deng Kai asked, "Blue Ribbon?"

Yin Bu: "Black belt."

Deng Kai smiled.

Yin Bu thought Deng Kai was mocking him and got a little angry: "What? You want to try it?"

Deng Kai shook his head: "I just think you made the wrong choice."

Yin Bu snorted coldly and said nothing more.

If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.

"You're very tall, but your heading ability is lacking," Deng Kai said bluntly. "You're not strong in physical duels either. Your physical attributes are nowhere near Drogba's, let alone a stronger version of Jardel."

"I've watched videos of you playing. You love dribbling past people and using your footwork. You have excellent balance and flexibility, which allows you to pull off many incredible dribbling and shooting moves."

"You're not a player who likes to solve problems physically. That's why when you're in trouble, whether it's Matthäus, Jardel, or even me, you don't instinctively resort to violence."

"With your personality, not only is practicing karate useless, but even if you were sent to the Red Room, you still wouldn't become a killing machine."

Yin Butong Kong Yisuo.

The veins on his hands were throbbing.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Why does Deng Kai... know himself so well?

Even Yin Bu himself didn't think he was like that, but after Deng Kai finished speaking, he realized that he really was.

"If I had to use a metaphor to describe your situation, you really are like an elephant," Deng Kai said. "You both look like war behemoths, possessing the power to move mountains, fill seas, and destroy everything."

"But actually, what you're best at isn't reckless charging. What you're best at is actually a more subtle and artistic approach. You always make yourself look very domineering, like Zlatan never tries out or anything like that."

"But deep down you're an artist. You're not Shaq, you're Hakeem Olajuwon. You have no interest in violent aesthetics; you prefer dreamlike dance moves."

After a long silence, Yin Bu neither confirmed nor denied, but asked, "You just said I made the wrong choice, that karate isn't suitable for me. Then please tell me what is suitable for me?"

Deng Kai stood still and suddenly made a mahjong-playing motion.

Yin Bu: "What is this?"

Deng Kai: "Tai Chi, Deng Kai!"

For some reason, Yin Bu had a strong urge to say, "Wing Chun, Ip Man."

Deng Kai explained, "Tai Chi may seem peaceful and slow, but without peace, where does the explosive power come from? In order to maintain this peace, one must endure until one can no longer endure, and only then does the explosive power emerge."

"The soft becomes the hard, and the hard is due to the soft."

"Tai Chi can not only enhance your physical talents of flexibility and coordination, and your gentle and peaceful personality traits, but also teach you when, where, and how to unleash your power."

"Your football can certainly produce beautiful waltzes, but just as you can't guarantee the stab that follows gentleness."

boom!

Deng Kai unleashed a powerful shot, attempting to demonstrate to Yin Bu the sudden burst of energy that comes after a period of calm.

Clang!

"Fuck! Who the hell is playing soccer next to the dorm again? Isn't that huge training field enough for you?"

"Hey Yin Bu, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. If anyone asks, don't say I was here."

"Don't worry, Kai!"

"Shit! It's you, Swedish kid?"

"No, no, it wasn't me, it was Kai, Deng Kai, Caesar, he did it..."

……

Deng Kai didn't know whether Tai Chi was effective or not, but the problems with Yin Bu were real.

The first thing the rich kids say after achieving some success is often, "My success has nothing to do with my family."

This is obviously hilarious.

Poor people usually don't admit their poverty unless someone asks them for money.

It's the same as playing football.

Physically strong players are more likely to want others to praise their skills.

Skilled players often desire a taller and more imposing physique.

Only when the children of the wealthy truly achieve great success, and when ordinary people truly understand the hardships their impoverished parents endured, will they acknowledge the wealth or poverty they were born with.

As Yin Bu got older, he gradually realized that his body was his greatest asset, and he relied more on his physical strength in his playing style, thus playing a huge pivot role in the center forward position.

But it was too late.

Understanding earlier what this height and strength meant might be the key for Yin Bu to open the door between him and Messi and Ronaldo.

"It seems like Yombu's playing style has changed somewhat." Triguera witnessed the recent changes in Yombu from the sidelines.

"I heard he joined Kai's training group." Maxa couldn't see any change in Yin Bu, but he knew how such a change had occurred.

"He's using his body more frequently now. Look at this ball, he's leaning against Deschamps, he controlled the ball with his chest, then lifted it up and headed it twice," Triguera said. "Deschamps was right next to him, but he couldn't do anything about it and could only let him break through."

"If it were the old Yin Bu, he would have deliberately given up physical confrontation and directly lobbed the ball over him. But because he didn't contain Deschamps, Deschamps had every opportunity to bring him down in the process."

"His playing style has become more pragmatic. It's transformed from the aggressive, unrestrained style of Taekwondo into a more balanced approach, like Tai Chi!"

Maxa was puzzled: "But he used to practice karate."

"Fuck!"

The sounds from the field interrupted the conversation between Maksa and Triguera.

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