Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

This is also the biggest difference between Drogba and Imbula.

Yin Bu loves the ball at his feet. Whenever you give him the ball, he can make an assist, dribble back, turn to create threats, or try to shoot. He can play to his full potential.

Drogba wasn't that intelligent. When you gave him the ball, he could only play the role of a pivot point... holding off opponents, passing back, setting up play, etc.

If you want Drogba's attacking ability, then when you give him the ball, you need to keep him at a certain distance from it.

He's not a poacher-type striker, but he's very good at poaching!

……

Sixtieth minute.

Deco moved down the wing and overlapped with his teammate, then suddenly crossed the ball.

His cross wasn't aimed at the penalty area, but rather at the far post, on the edge of the penalty area, at Postiga.

This view... is absolutely stunning.

boom!

Postiga unleashed a high-quality volley.

Unfortunately, the ball hit Jardel, who didn't have time to dodge, and bounced out of bounds.

Postiga clearly swore.

Jardel was speechless. "I told you to pass the ball to me, and you just shot?"

If I, Jardel, get the ball inside the penalty area, isn't that the same as scoring a goal?

Do you know who is currently the top scorer in the Portuguese league?

Idiot!

Sixty-third minute.

Sporting Lisbon slowly launched their attack.

Quaresma and Duncan overlapped on the right flank.

Quaresma drew the defense before passing back to Deschamps.

Deschamps played a through ball, helping Deng Kai break through the opponent's flank.

Deng Kai regained control of the ball before it went out of bounds.

Although he is not a dribbling expert, he is confident when he holds the ball on the baseline.

He dribbled along the baseline into the penalty area, shook off his opponent, and delivered a triangular back pass with the outside of his foot.

It was almost identical to Quaresma's previous pass.

The only difference was that Deng Kai's pass this time was slightly closer to the goalkeeper.

Instead of passing the ball to teammates inside the penalty area.

"Drogba, accelerate!"

"Fuchs is being pushed back by Drogba!"

"Costa pulled on Drogba's jersey but quickly let go, otherwise he would have conceded a penalty!"

"Drogba is tall and has long legs!"

"Porto's goalkeeper comes out!"

boom!

Despite being pulled back by two center-backs, Drogba managed to extend his leg and poke the ball while trailing by half a body length.

Porto's goalkeeper's rush out gave Drogba an open goal.

"Goal! 1-2! Eleven rounds have passed in the Portuguese league, and Drogba has finally scored!"

"An assist from Deng Kai! They've pulled one back, keeping the game in suspense!"

"Rubens Jr.'s defense was problematic today. Quaresma had already beaten him before, and now Duncan delivered the pass from almost the same position, but this time God didn't continue to harass Porto."

Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.

Sixty-seventh minute.

Deco practically orchestrated the creation of a goal.

However, in the midst of what was a series of exquisite passes, the most crucial final touch... Postiga's pass to Jardel went awry.

This was a soulless pass.

Postiga made no feints before passing the ball, acting entirely in a businesslike manner.

Matthäus easily intercepted the ball.

Matthäus admitted that there was an element of gambling involved; he felt that even a fool could steal that ball, and wondered if Postiga and Jardel were throwing the game against him.

But in the end, he couldn't resist and accepted being treated like a fool.

The result... hahaha!

Matthäus, in high spirits, launched a long pass to Ronaldo on the left wing.

Cristiano Ronaldo flicked the ball more than ten meters away in one go, clearly indicating that he wanted to compete with the opponent in speed.

As a result, Ronaldo easily outmaneuvered his opponents in this round.

He began to cut inside.

When he spotted Drogba at the edge of the penalty area, he sent a half-high ball to Drogba and then surged into the penalty area himself.

This is to have Drogba pass him one.

Cristiano Ronaldo can enter the penalty area more easily without the ball at his feet.

But Drogba is not without his own ideas.

With his back to the goal, he looked at Viana coming towards him and his chest trembled.

The ball bounced towards Viana's feet.

During his recovery period, Drogba watched a lot of videos of Duncan and Ronaldo's previous matches. While learning about the playing style of the team's core player, Duncan, he also learned about the playing styles of some other players.

I'm not talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, but Moreirense's Anderson.

This player's passing style is very suitable for Drogba, and Drogba can do it better than Anderson.

boom!

Viana takes a long-range shot.

All conditions are at their best.

In addition, he has been relatively low-profile lately; after playing for an hour, some Porto players even forgot about Portugal's most talented left-winger.

Swish!

Viana unleashed a stunning long-range shot.

The football went straight into the net.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo was completely baffled.

Isn't this a perfect combination between him and Drogba?

How did a third person appear in a love story between two people?

This……

Drogba looked embarrassed and awkward in the face of Ronaldo's questioning gaze.

As for Mr. Luo, you know, Kai Shao has emphasized to us blue-collar players many times that we need to pay more attention to teamwork with other players when playing. As for a player like you, Mr. Luo, just let you play freely.

Luo: Isolate me?

Kai: No, it's because you're so strong that you don't need to cooperate! And no one is qualified to cooperate with you!

Luo: You understand me!

Two to two!

Drogba contributed a goal and an assist, helping his team equalize.

The morale of both sides changed as a result, and Sporting Lisbon launched a major offensive.

Even during the seventy-plus minutes of exhaustion, their attack never stopped.

In the 82nd minute, Ronaldo's long-range shot earned the team a corner kick.

Quaresma takes the corner kick.

Drogba headed the ball towards the goal, but it hit the post and bounced out.

Postiga cleared the ball with a long kick, sending it flying towards Deng Kai outside the penalty area.

Deng Kai's left foot flashed horizontally... a heavenly flying strike!

The ball was blocked by Sasso's body, and the conversation returned to normal.

Facing football.

This time, Deng Kai switched to his right foot and unleashed a Beckenbauer-esque pass and shot, sending the ball arcing over the defender and into the net with the outside of his foot.

"Well done!"

"A game-winning shot! Deng Kai's shot was absolutely a game-winning shot!"

"3-2! Porto led for so long, but ultimately lost to Sporting Lisbon!"

"Deng Kai didn't waste any opportunities; Sporting Lisbon was the more efficient team today!"

"Another outside-of-the-foot goal! I now wholeheartedly accept Deng Kai's title as the King of the Outside-of-the-Foot!"

"King of the outside of the foot! King of the outside of the foot!"

Fans started calling out Deng Kai's nickname.

This time, even Quaresma didn't show any displeasure.

He started celebrating with his teammates early on.

When team honors are significant enough, they can make any player set aside their concern for individual glory.

Within the Portuguese league, no player can resist the sense of accomplishment from defeating Porto.

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