Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Rehhagel: Our strategies against Duncan have completely failed. The players are telling me that defending against Viana is much easier than defending against Duncan. We'll go back and do in-depth research on Duncan. This team has a lot of talented players, more than anyone imagined. It wouldn't be surprising if a team like this achieves anything.

Upon returning to Germany, Rehhagel kept his word and quickly launched an investigation into Deng Kai, watching a large number of Deng Kai's match videos.

The expert panel's conclusions left Rehhagel pessimistic.

"This player didn't start out high, but he improved very quickly; he's improving almost constantly."

"For a normal player, it's considered good if they improve once every year or two. But Deng Kai's competitive state improves significantly every one or two months."

"His playing style is versatile; simply put, he is quite good at organizing, assisting, dribbling, defending, and finishing. But judging from the last game, he showcased his organizing and assisting abilities more."

"We can't imagine what he would be like if he added finishing and dribbling skills to that foundation. But one thing is certain... he has the ability to play like Viana, he just hasn't been eager to show it yet."

"He never competes with his teammates for anything; he likes to do what no one else does or what no one else can do. This player is extraordinary, and if possible, we strongly recommend that the team make an offer for Duncan in the summer."

"He can completely revitalize Klose and Djorkaeff; with his support, both Djorkaeff and Klose may reach new career highs!"

The expert panel's opinion was largely consistent with Rehhagel's previous observations, but in greater detail.

Rehhagel directly expressed his desire to buy Duncan to the team's management, something he rarely does because it would seem like he was making excuses for the team's losses.

Many head coaches use this method to buy players who have defeated them.

However, the chances of such transactions going bad are quite high.

Because that's often the result of a player having a breakout performance, and the player's actual skill level might be much lower.

It's rare to see a player like Shevchenko or Trezeguet who made the right bet.

In response to Rehhagel's demands, the team indicated that they would make an offer in the summer, but the market outlook is not optimistic.

If Sporting Lisbon were to sell Viana and Quaresma, a player like Duncan, who can create chances, would be a necessity for the team. However, considering the team's overall strength, Sporting Lisbon is unlikely to sell Duncan.

Considering Deng Kai's future market value, he is even less likely to sell.

Deng Kai only needs to maintain his current level of performance; he doesn't need to improve at all. If he continues playing in the Portuguese league for two more years, his transfer fee will be at least €15 million.

……

"Ding! You have obtained the star player drop, Rehhagel's Tactical Whiteboard."

「奥托大帝雷哈格尔两次缔造奇蹟，他的战术水平母庸置疑。拦截+2、抢断+2、防守跑位+1、进攻跑位+1、强壮+1、体能+1。雷哈格尔对球员身体素质十分看中，使用该战术白板，能有效增加球队球员的对抗、争顶、跑动能力。能让球员快速适应并掌握前场逼抢战术。」

The drop after this match was a bit unexpected for Deng Kai.

I thought that Klose or Djorkaeff would be the first to be defeated and submit, but it turned out to be Emperor Rehhagel.

This tactical whiteboard is quite useful.

The team's synchronized high-pressing style is suitable for strong teams.

Sporting Lisbon has been using a wide-ranging tactic this season to fine-tune their teamwork, while also using victories to cultivate the players' attacking ambition and defensive solidity.

Next season, we can basically try out an aggressive style of play; Rehhagel's tactical blank slate has arrived at just the right time.

As I said before, the key to a successful high press in the attacking third is a strong mentality in the defense.

Without years of training, even someone with exceptional tackling skills cannot play as a defender in a team that employs a high-pressing tactic.

For example, Pepe at this stage is still a bit lacking.

Terry and Barzagli are more composed in their mindset.

As for Fonte... he also has a stable mentality, but his confidence does not come from his own strength and excellent performance on the court, but from his deep friendship with Director Kai.

No, that even falls under the category of family affection.

If Deng Kai hadn't refused to acknowledge me, Font would have even been willing to call me Kai "Dad."

This realization came from Fonte's observation of Maxa's tactical research notebook.

The first page of Maxa's notebook contains profound sayings.

"Talented horses are common, but discerning judges of character are rare. Being entrusted with the coaching role by Young Master Kai is the second turning point in my life, and it's far more important than the first!"

"Kay, Sporting Lisbon's only stadium patriarch!"

After making inquiries, Fonte learned about the first turning point in Maxa's life.

That is, his journey from a team cleaner to an assistant coach in the team's youth training program.

The person who promoted him back then was none other than Mr. Triguera, the current head coach of Sporting Lisbon.

This might explain why Maxija, despite having a reputation in the head coaching profession that is no less than or even greater than Trigár's, was still willing to serve as Trigár's assistant.

Despite being a sycophant, Maxa is still a man of deep feelings.

Fonte said he would learn from Maxa's approach. He said that when his own court skills far surpass Kyle's, he would not look down on Kyle. He would try to bring Kyle to his team, help him become a starter, and give him a chance to support him.

My great Fonte is indeed as kind-hearted as Maxa!

At Maxa's home in Lisbon.

"Hey, any news? Denmark? No way, no way. Don't let Danish football fool you; they might not be top-tier in Europe, but on a global scale, they're definitely a second-rate team. I can't manage that."

"Are there any weaker ones? Like Equatorial Guinea, or Vietnam and Laos?"

Maksa is talking to his agent, and his only task for the agent is to discreetly approach a terrible national team, the kind that won't get him any results and won't be criticized.

After all, the foundation is too weak; you can't expect the head coach to magically change the situation.

That way, Maxa won't be exposed.

Maxa was a visionary.

Sporting Lisbon is now seen as a dark horse.

But Maxi knows that this is far from the team's full potential.

If this team continues to defeat European powerhouses in the coming years, Maxi will not be surprised at all.

Will Triguera still be able to stay at Sporting Lisbon then?

They can't be kept.

With Trigra gone, Maxa was in deep trouble.

Either he will take over Sporting Lisbon, and Sporting Lisbon's performance will inevitably plummet.

So Maxade must leave.

But which way to go?

By then, his reputation was probably quite good, and some wealthy families who were struggling might extend an olive branch to him.

But they were all doing poorly, so how could Maxa possibly revive them?

can not go.

There may also be strong teams with good results, preparing to compete for various championships, and looking to upgrade their head coach, such as inviting Maxi.

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

Maksa would be even less willing to go to a team like that.

These strong teams have very high ceilings and low floors; if they don't perform well, they could easily fall into the relegation zone.

How could Maxi have the ability to manage such a volatile team?

His only way out then would be to find a bad team, but the club competition has a relegation system. If Maxa leads the team to relegation, wouldn't that expose his secret?

Hey, the national team would be perfect.

Especially the terrible, lousy national team, it was practically Maksa's paradise.

He's been frantically sifting through the trash national teams lately.

Leaving aside Europe, in South America, teams from Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador were all interested in Maxa, but they were all too strong, and Maxa rejected them all.

How hateful!

The Chinese team would be a perfect fit, given that it's Kai's hometown.

As a result, Milutinovic beat him to it.

Maxa pounded his chest with his fist, regretting that he was born at the wrong time, two years too late.

To ruin someone's future is like killing their parents. I am irreconcilably opposed to Milutinovic!

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