Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Back on the court.

Twenty-second minute.

Deng Kai has figured out the referee's standard for making decisions.

So, during the tackle, he completed the interception in the frontcourt with a foul.

Even without the shooting bonuses from players like Black Panther Hunt and mediocre winger Schweinsteiger, Deng Kai's shooting ability of 80 is enough for him to score a goal from a short distance in front of the penalty spot with no one marking him!

"Goal! Deng Kai scored! He looks harmless, but he's always been good at pressing high up the pitch... Wait, doesn't that count?"

The referee blew his whistle, disallowing the goal!

"Oh, so that's a foul called on Deng Kai for stealing the ball. Indeed, that move alone would qualify as a foul."

You see, the commentator definitely knows football, so his words are quite witty.

The phrase "take it all out of context" basically reveals everything that can be revealed.

If I say anything more, my salary will be docked.

Similarly, Deng Kai was extremely dissatisfied this time, and rushed directly to the referee: "Are you sure that was a foul?"

Referee: "I'm sure, move aside."

Deng Kai blocked the referee's path, refusing to let him pass: "Are you really sure? If my move was a foul, then how many fouls should Rosenberg have committed before that?"

The referee frowned. "You dare to say that?"

He started reaching into his pocket.

Deng Kai knew he couldn't escape this card, so he simply spoke his mind: "The whole of Portugal is watching this game, and many knowledgeable people can understand what you're really talking about."

The referee was furious; his hand, which had been reaching into his pocket, was about to be moved behind him.

This is a signal to draw a red card.

But Deng Kai showed no panic whatsoever; his eyes were fixed on the referee like a fierce French Bulldog.

The key is that those eyes are so clear and bright.

The referee was also a little uneasy watching.

In the two years since they started betting on football, who hasn't heard of Deng Kai?

This guy caused the Portuguese betting companies to lose a fortune.

What?

The author seems to have made a mistake: referees are not allowed to gamble on matches.

See, the author definitely knows a thing or two about football, that's why their typing is so natural... If they keep typing, they'll have to deduct from their royalties.

If Deng Kai is sent off directly, there might be trouble after the game.

Actually, this yellow card was already a stretch.

Despite Deng Kai's seemingly bad attitude and his seemingly wrong behavior of arguing with the referee after a foul and a goal being disallowed, everyone knows the truth: even if you were the referee, you would have to accept Deng Kai's questioning at that moment.

Giving someone a yellow card after they score a goal is simply unfair.

"Fuck bait, you son of a bitch... You're too kind of you, calling you an eyeball is an understatement, you're just two tiny bodhi seeds... You damned bastard... You unlucky kid who'll get his head chopped off!"

After Deng Kai's goal was disallowed, Maksa rushed to the sideline and unleashed his full attacking power.

In order to achieve barrier-free communication with Kai Shao, he, who has never been good at reading since childhood, actually managed to master Chinese this time, and even learned some of the dialect of Kai Shao's hometown.

Despite being multilingual, Kai Shao is still most accustomed to his native dialect.

Otherwise, why do you think Kai talks to Maxa the most?

Other people's goals are disallowed and that's fine, but you dare to disallow Kai's goal?

Did you blow out a goal?

You've blown away art!

What was blown away was Maxi's soul!

Such intense insults could not possibly go unnoticed by the referee.

The referee had a sudden inspiration and ran towards Maksa, showing him a red card as he ran.

Get out of here!

Maxa was dumbfounded. This...

Surely not?

Am I being wronged?

You think you know Sichuan dialect?

The commentator remarked, "McSa has a very strong temper; he doesn't allow his players to suffer any injustice or misjudgment! He's a good coach, no wonder Portuguese fans affectionately call him 'Saint Samir'!"

"Rather than saying he was sent off with a red card by the referee, it's more accurate to say he stormed off in anger! This was his way of protesting the referee's unfair decisions in the match! He was a civilized fighter!"

After all that commotion, the referee seemed to have forgotten about Deng Kai's yellow card.

The Rosenberg players thought the referee had forgotten and kindly reminded him that he should also give Deng Kai a yellow card.

The referee initially pretended not to hear, but after being pulled back by the opposing team, he directly said, "I don't need you to teach me how to officiate! It's not because you guys are bad that I have to do everything I can to help you."

The Rosenberg players were completely bewildered. What happened to their godfather?

This conflict also greatly affected the mentality of both teams' players.

The Sporting Lisbon players were unsure of the referee's standards, and in order to avoid being targeted by the referee, they became increasingly clean in their defensive actions.

Cleanliness indicates inadequate defense.

Thirty-first minute.

Pepe, who has been starting since Deschamps' dementia—or rather, concussion—made a through pass that was intercepted by Rosenberg.

Rosenberg launched a quick counter-attack.

Sporting Lisbon did not lose their positions, but repeatedly missed opportunities to intercept due to insufficient defensive effort, ultimately conceding a goal.

1-0, Rosenberg takes the lead!

The defending players bear a lot of responsibility for this goal conceded.

However, Pepe also bears a great responsibility.

Despite his young age and status as a substitute in the team, his passing skills are far superior to those of Tiri and Barzagli, especially in long passes, where he is far ahead.

Not to mention the likes of Fonte.

However, Pepe has therefore been frequently launching through balls in recent matches, showing an eagerness to achieve quick results.

This violates the ancestral precepts of the Great Circle Sect.

The large circle tactic forms a U-shape, providing extremely strong control over the ball.

We are not afraid of losing the ball on the wing.

But the fear is that this bottom line will be breached.

Once Pepe's through ball is intercepted, it becomes incredibly easy for the opponent to penetrate your defense.

Seeing this, Deng Kai immediately made a hand gesture.

Signal your teammates on both sides to enter off-the-ball mode and not give the opponent a chance to mark you closely.

The opponent's fouls during contact phases are highly dependent on the referee's skill and conscience.

The referee in this match clearly had no heart.

Then the frisbee tactic is a better choice.

It's not the frisbee from the yoga pants.

It's a tactic where you throw the soccer ball like a frisbee behind the opponent's defense, then have the two speedsters on either side chase after it, using their superior speed to break through the opponent's defense and create opportunities.

Quaresma's skill is not the only thing that makes him stand out in the team; his speed is also among the best.

Cristiano Ronaldo's speed is in a class of its own.

These two speed dogs are incredibly intelligent and can adapt well to charging and fighting. qqxsnew

Cristiano Ronaldo: Spiritual? So you like praising people like that?

With this kind of high-speed handling, as long as you can get the speed up, the opponent will either commit a clear foul or won't even have a chance to commit a foul.

Of course, it's easier said than done.

Rosenberg will primarily play a defensive counter-attacking style today.

After scoring, they even dropped their formation back a bit.

There wasn't much space left for Quaresma and Ronaldo on either side.

At this distance, they might not be able to really get going.

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