Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Quaresma made a series of breakthroughs on the right flank, but his inside cut was blocked, so he passed the ball to Deng Kai.

After receiving the ball, Deng Kai dodged the opponent's tackle, then followed up with a one-two pass with Drogba, who was retreating, and got past another player.

boom!

Deng Kai lobs the ball to the left far post.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again broke into the penalty area without the ball, and despite the opponent's defense, he still managed to head the ball in a triangular motion.

Drogba, a beast, emerged, crashing through the wall before turning and charging into the penalty area, unleashing a powerful shot.

But he was eager to score, and Ronaldo's headers weren't particularly comfortable. After all, it's good enough that this guy has a pass button, so don't expect him to pass properly.

when!

The football hit the crossbar and bounced back outside the penalty area.

Matthäus received the ball 30 meters from the goal.

He flicked the ball forward, his arms outstretched.

Deng Kai immediately ran towards the outside of the goal area.

The German giant cannon is coming!

boom!

The football didn't have much of a curve.

From Matthäus's perspective, the ball even looked somewhat light.

But actually, that's because the trajectory of the football is too straight, so from behind, the difference in distance the football travels is not significant.

Swish!

The Beira-Mar goalkeeper made a brilliant diving save.

The highlights were visually appealing, but no one actually touched the soccer ball.

The football slammed into the net, creating a white splash.

"GOAL! Matthäus! A super long-range shot!"

"Four to zero!"

"Can you believe this person is almost forty years old?"

"He could easily play for another three years!"

A sneeze!

There always seemed a bit odd about Cristiano Ronaldo's goal celebrations.

It seems like they're allergic to that phrase.

"Okay, Sporting Lisbon will make a substitution."

"Making substitutions when you're leading by such a large margin suggests that Triguera wants more players to come on and get used to the game."

"As expected! Center forward Drogba has been substituted, and in his place is Swedish prodigy Zlatan Ibrahimovic!"

"Drogba looked a little disappointed when he left the field. His tactics were quite effective in this game, but you could tell he really wanted to score a goal."

"It's a shame that I didn't score in my first game in the Portuguese league, but judging from Sporting Lisbon's performance today, there will be plenty of opportunities to score in the future."

"Deschamps is also going to be substituted, and his replacement will be Pepe, who was signed by Sporting Lisbon for a low price in the summer."

Deschamps: RNM, can we change the commentator?

Seventy-third minute.

Pepe's fierce tackle reminded Matthäus of a younger version of himself, thirteen centimeters taller.

Although his movements are still rough, it's clear that Pepe has already gained some experience in steals and interceptions.

Pepe passed the ball to Deng Kai.

Deng Kai passed the ball to Quaresma.

Quaresma tried to dribble past his opponent, but the opponent remained unmoved.

Quaresma passed the ball back to Duncan.

Faced with pressure, Deng Kai passed the ball back to Matthäus.

boom!

Matthäus launched a long pass from the backfield.

There are quite a few football players whose names begin with the character "Ma" (马).

But perhaps only Maradona can be ranked ahead of Matthäus.

Many people even say that the early 1990s was the era of Maradona and Matthäus, the two superstars.

Although the two differed greatly in their future status in football, Maradona repeatedly mentioned Matthäus and called him his best rival.

This also shows how powerful titles and publicity can be.

The gap between the number one and number two in the industry may be greater than the gap between the number two and number one hundred.

Because in any industry, there may only be one person who can stand out from the crowd.

When we memorize various knowledge points, we usually only remember the most important one.

Hey you, you troll who's talking about K2, get out of here, you fake K2 fanboy!

Quaresma started his run down the right flank.

His ball control is excellent, so after losing the initiative, the opponent did not press forward aggressively to prevent him from immediately dribbling past them after receiving the ball.

If you encounter a player with poor ball control, the defender can push forward and put psychological pressure on the opponent.

This greatly increases the probability that the opponent will make a mistake in controlling the ball due to a lack of confidence.

Sure enough, Quaresma controlled the ball perfectly, and it wobbled around his feet.

boom!

Quaresma passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, who came over to receive it.

The defender behind Ibrahimovic immediately lunged from the side, attempting to make a tackle.

Because Ibrahimovic is about 1.95 meters tall.

This super tall guy is obviously a rough and tough man.

If you circle around and intercept the ball, you'll make him cry for his parents.

however……

Ibrahimovic deflected the rolling ball and executed a Marseille turn against the opponent.

The center-back was completely dumbfounded.

He quickly adjusted his pace to catch up with Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic was facing the goal on the right side of the penalty area. He had clearly shaken off the center-back, but he deliberately flicked the ball to the right.

It's basically about letting the ball go through the feet of the chasing center-back.

The center-back stretched out his leg again; it was a tackle that sent him on his way...

One pull, one snap!

Ibrahimovic's move to the right was a feint; his real intention was to move to the left into the penalty area.

If he had gone that way from the start, the opponent's desperate defensive effort might have affected him, since Ibrahimovic's Marseille turn is performed on the outside, while the opponent is on the inside, giving him a distance advantage.

But now, Ibrahimovic's dunk not only slowed down the pursuing opponent, but also tricked the opponent into losing his balance.

Now, whatever Ibrahimovic does, his opponent can only watch him go.

This way of playing... those elegant footwork, those shifting weight and dribbling, is it really not Quaresma?

boom!

Ibrahimovic, facing the last center-back, passed the ball across the edge of the penalty area.

Deng Kai has already moved into this position.

boom!

Deng Kai received the ball and immediately made a through pass.

After Ibrahimovic touched the ball, he continued forward, and the two players combined with a one-two pass to get past the center-back who was unsure whether to go to the left or the right.

Ibrahimovic has a one-on-one opportunity!

boom!

Ibrahimovic barely adjusted his footwork, and once he caught up with his right foot, he used the outside of his right foot to chip the ball over the goalkeeper as he came out.

The football bypassed the goalkeeper and went into the net.

The whole process felt... silky smooth!

The tall and imposing Ibrahimovic, when he plays football, including his final shot, exudes a certain elegance!

"GOAL! My God! Five to zero! Sporting Lisbon are playing like monsters!"

"Congratulations to Ibrahimovic! He scored less than three minutes after coming on!"

"So smooth! Drogba proved with his performance that he is the equal replacement for Jardel. Whether he can score or not, at least his role in the team is no less than Jardel's."

"Everyone thought Ibrahimovic was just another replacement for Drogba, but no one expected that his playing style would be so different from Drogba's! His footwork is very soft."

"To be frank, Ibrahimovic's dribbling is much better than Duncan's and Ronaldo's!"

"The different styles of Ibrahimovic and Drogba will bring more possibilities to Sporting Lisbon's future playing style."

"Those who questioned Triglav's purchase of two similar center forwards can now shut up. Every penny spent on Triglav was truly well worth it."

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