Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Everyone knew that this was the time for Deng Kai to step up.

But Deng Kai's sharp passing style didn't reappear.

Because Kaiserslautern's defensive formation has never shown any weaknesses.

At this point, more players need to participate in the direct attack.

For example, like Viana, you could dribble forward and increase the number of attacking players in the frontcourt.

But does Deng Kai have this ability?

boom!

Just when everyone thought Deng Kai would try to dribble forward, he suddenly flicked the ball repeatedly, moving from the right flank to the left and entering the center of the penalty area.

This is the most heavily defended area by any team, and also the area where the most goals are scored in world football.

boom!

It looked like Deng Kai was about to engage in close combat with the other side.

Deng Kai, who flicked the ball to the left, suddenly followed up with his right foot, delivering another outside-of-the-foot pass in the opposite direction.

And just like last time, Deng Kai added some clever touches to his outside-of-the-foot pass.

Last time, he missed the ball and chased after it, losing half a beat of rhythm. He was half a beat slower than those who thought he was handling the ball with his left foot, and half a beat faster than those who thought he was handling the ball with his right foot.

This time, Deng Kai's right foot was a feint shot followed by a real pass.

The first half of the movement looked like he was preparing to shoot directly with his right foot while dribbling.

Deng Kai has made several long-range shots in recent league matches, scoring more than one goal.

Kaiserslautern was certainly aware of this information, and they were preparing for this move by Deng Kai.

Who would have thought that Deng Kai's leg swing would change in the latter half, turning his right foot from a shot into a shot with the outside of his foot to pass the ball.

On the right side of the goal, Quaresma, who was cutting inside without the ball, stretched out his foot to stop the ball. Although it was a bit difficult, his ball control was very good, and he managed to take a shot with the outside of his foot just before the ball went out of bounds.

Fortunately, Quaresma is skilled with the outside of his foot; if the ball had been passed with a normal footwork, it would have gone out of bounds in the air.

The two kings of the outside of the foot took turns leading the way.

The football soared high, cleared the goal, and flew towards the far post.

boom!

On the other side, Ronaldo, who had cut inside, leaped high and, with no one marking him,...

A header.

By the time Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper turned his head, the ball had already flown into the goal.

He made a desperate save, hitting the ball inside the side netting, but failed to prevent the goal from being scored.

"Goal! Cristiano Ronaldo scores with a header!"

"Three to zero! Unbelievable! Sporting Lisbon truly deserves the title of the team that eliminated Inter Milan. Now it seems that this really wasn't just good luck."

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).

"They have the potential to be a dark horse. Kaiserslautern is a relatively high-ranking team in the Bundesliga, yet they conceded three goals to Sporting Lisbon!"

"Viana's injury doesn't seem to have had any significant negative impact on Sporting Lisbon. Duncan perfectly took on the responsibility of being the attacking core in the front, and although he and Viana used different methods, the results were equally good."

"Of course, Ronaldo has to thank Drogba for this goal. Drogba's run drew away two defenders, opening up the left side of the penalty area and giving Ronaldo a huge space."

"Drogba is panting heavily, and so far he has covered the most distance in the game. When Drogba is on the field, the team's champion in running distance is either him or Duncan."

"However, the current champion in total running distance for Sporting Lisbon this season is Duncan, because Duncan often plays the full match, while Drogba is usually substituted by Yin Bu around the 70th minute."

"This further explains why Portuguese fans consider Deng Kai to be the core of the team. His playing time is the most in the team, he is almost always present, he is never substituted, and he is almost never injured."

"But precisely because of this, Inter Milan fans believe that Viana is in no way inferior to Duncan in terms of efficiency, because Viana has missed quite a few games due to sporadic injuries and being substituted this season."

"Alright, Triguera has made a substitution. Imbasimovic has replaced Drogba, which will be another tough test for Kaiserslautern's defense."

"Don't let Yin Bu's tall stature fool you. He's different from traditional target men like Drogba. Yin Bu's playing style is more about talent. Although he can be a bit soft at times, he always manages to create unexpected problems for the opponent."

In the 72nd minute, Yin Bu caused trouble for Kaiserslautern.

He dropped back to support Deng Kai, but after Deng Kai made a forward run, he pulled the ball back and dribbled in another direction towards the penalty area.

Kaiserslautern's defenders had already marked Duncan.

One player was chasing Deng Kai, and another player was preparing to intercept Yin Bu's pass to Deng Kai, but who knew that Yin Bu would do it himself?

Facing the center-back, Yin Bu delivered a deep-fried dumpling.

He's not fast, but he has long legs.

This fried meatball didn't completely get past the opponent, but it easily created a shooting opportunity for Yin Bu.

boom!

Before the fried meatballs were even finished, Yin Bu took a shot while the opposing center-back was hanging on him.

However, the other party's interference still had an effect.

Yin Bu's power was not fully utilized, and the ball speed was not fast enough.

Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper leaped and punched the ball out of bounds.

The entire Kaiserslautern stadium, both inside and outside, was on edge.

Rehhagel looked even more serious.

It's too ridiculous.

It's not about the score being off, nor is it about the match being outrageous.

It's simply outrageous that Sporting Lisbon has so many talented players.

Let's not even talk about Viana; Inter Milan is basically set to sign him, and his transfer fee is around 20 million.

Similarly, according to Rehhagel's inside information, Barcelona is determined to sign Quaresma this summer, and the transaction price is estimated to be close to 20 million euros.

Both of them were born in 1983 and are only 18 years old this year. They are definitely future superstars.

But this is something Sporting Lisbon has nurtured over the years.

Black shops are inherently good at discovering and cultivating talent, so it's normal for their direct disciples to be successful.

The key question is: where did Cristiano Ronaldo, with his exceptional goal-scoring instincts, incredible speed, and reliable shooting skills, come from, along with Deng Kai, a forward who is no less capable than Viana and even superior to Viana from an organizer's perspective?

Not even sixteen years old yet, it's understandable for players of this age to dominate in youth teams, let alone in the Portuguese league... The most crucial point is that two years from now, they might be considered as products of Sporting Lisbon's own hard work and dedication.

But now... they only played for Sporting Lisbon for a year, then were released for six months, and Ronaldo was bedridden for six months. The way they've performed now is entirely due to Sporting Lisbon getting a windfall.

That's fine, everyone steps in dog poop a few times in their life, right?

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Deng Kai: 凸（-皿-）！

But you can't always step in dog poop, right?

Drogba's diligence, exceptional physical abilities, and increasingly brilliant shooting skills are key factors.

Yoon Bu possesses a perfect physique and his talent is almost at the ceiling of this team.

Although somewhat impulsive, Pepe's defensive ability alone is already eighty percent of that of a aging Matthäus.

They possess the physical and speed advantages of young center-backs, while also having a defensive awareness far exceeding that of their peers, such as Terry and Barzagli.

This team has too many weirdos.

Perhaps in the future, looking back, most of the players on this team could become football legends?

Rehhagel was horrified by his own thoughts.

He quickly shook his head.

That's impossible.

There is no class in the world more extraordinary than Manchester United's Class of '92.

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