Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Are the shoes and feet wronged?

Of course you're wronged!

It's all about taking money, so whose money you take doesn't matter.

The problem lies in the fact that the "five students studying in Portugal" were unwilling to pay the money.

They sent a letter a long time ago.

However, Wu Xudong and others have consistently refused to pay the money.

You have neither the connections of Shide Club behind Feng Xiaoting nor are you willing to pay money, so why should we let you in?

The footwear industry has its own set of logic that forms a closed loop.

They even believe that the public resentment this time was caused by Wu Xudong and others' lack of enthusiasm in paying fees, and that these young players should be internally punished.

Finally, the head of the footwear company responded to public doubts about the roster: "We have our own well-established selection mechanism, and the players we cultivate ourselves are equally excellent."

"The fact that the national youth team achieved a fourth-place finish at the Toulon Tournament two years ago is proof of that."

"Young players who go abroad to play are not necessarily all high-level. At least it's difficult for us to grasp their specific skill level, which makes it complicated for us to recruit them."

"Furthermore, setting aside the impact of skill level, the fact that overseas players don't play domestically for extended periods makes it difficult for them to integrate into the existing tactical and technical systems of domestic teams. Considering both performance and responsibility to the fans, we have no choice but to select more stable and reliable players."

That sounds quite appropriate.

But upon closer analysis, it turns out he's full of malicious intent.

Jiang Yunzhu, deputy editor-in-chief and overseas head of Sports Weekly, which topped the domestic football media charts after its domestic sales officially surpassed those of Football News, personally published an article refuting the claim: "Fourth place in the Toulon Tournament is a good result."

"However, the team that eliminated China in that tournament was none other than Portugal."

"Taking the Toulon Tournament as an example, we should definitely call up players like Wu Xudong and Yu Shihao who have performed well in the Portuguese youth academy. This is a completely deceptive and lying response."

"The claim that overseas-trained players struggle to integrate into the domestic tactical system is even more ridiculous. In terms of football, European football is the center of world football. Why do we send our young players to Europe? Isn't it precisely to let them learn advanced tactics and techniques, and become familiar with advanced training systems and environments?"

"If they learn it and then return to China to teach them the outdated methods, what's the point of constantly updating and improving the domestic training environment?"

"Does world football have to adapt to the tactics and techniques of our mainland football? I hope to see that day, because it would mean that Chinese football has surpassed European football."

"The footwear industry has caught up with and surpassed Britain and the United States decades ahead of schedule—congratulations! I suggest they participate in this year's 'Touching China' Top Ten Figures' selection!"

"Finally, in youth player competitions, the focus is more on development than on results. I cannot agree with the statement that football is responsible for results."

Jiang Yunzhu went all out, stirring up a storm in the domestic football industry.

The shoe executives went directly to Sports Weekly and warned them to shut Jiang Yunzhu up.

However, Sports Weekly told them helplessly that they couldn't do it because Jiang Yunzhu had a powerful background.

After a long investigation, the senior management of the footwear company still couldn't find any connections to Jiang Yunzhu. In the end, they issued an ultimatum to Sports Weekly, ordering them to fire Jiang Yunzhu.

Not wanting to cause trouble for her former employer, Jiang Yunzhu voluntarily submitted her resignation.

Sports Weekly has now survived a close call.

However, the shoe executives' joy was short-lived, as clips from Deng Kai's autobiographical documentary suddenly appeared in China.

"At first, they all called me Caesar, not because I was like a great king, but because I was a fraud."

"That day, I met Eusebio, Figo, and Guardiola, and then I joined Sporting Lisbon's youth academy."

"No one believed in me, so I told myself that if my skin color and bloodline couldn't bring me glory, then I was willing to provide the most perfect testament to my skin color and bloodline!"

"Even now, I'm still on this path. Most European media and clubs still don't believe in my future, but they can't take away the UEFA Cup title and the Best Player award from me!"

"My first contact with Chinese football was with the Wahaha team, or perhaps I am part of Chinese football myself because I am a player of Chinese descent..."

"For this U17 World Cup, Ronaldo and I have only one goal: to win the championship. Of course, I also hope that the Chinese team can achieve the desired results!"

"With players like Wu Xudong, Yu Shihao, Chen Tao, Shao Jiawei, and Hao Junmin, the Chinese team would definitely have no problem advancing from the group stage. But since Chinese football has better options... the semi-finals? Well, I hope the Chinese team can make it to the semi-finals this time! Fellow countrymen, I'll be waiting for you in the semi-finals!"

This documentary reveals many stories about Deng Kai's upbringing.

Some of the footage was even shot by Deng Kai himself with a camera, making it extremely precious.

Especially this summer, when Sporting Lisbon had just won the treble, and when Sporting Lisbon announced that most of their core players would not leave the team and that they were still strengthening the squad, the amount of attention Deng Kai received was predictable.

Not to mention Chinese media, even European media are widely reposting and quoting these reports.

Fans pay attention to star players.

Media professionals naturally pay attention to their peers.

Such internal-level information would be impossible to obtain without Deng Kai's in-depth cooperation.

What kind of reporter is so amazing?

It was later discovered that all of these news articles originated from the same football news website – Dongqiudi.

It's late, but it's finally here on Dongqiudi!

Now, if Chen Cong wants to start a football website, he'll have to think of a different name.

This is a football website registered overseas, offering multiple language options including Chinese, and primarily reporting on European and domestic football news. The legal representative is unknown, but according to domestic media colleagues, the actual controller of the website is Jiang Yunzhu!

What many people don't know is that this website is actually jointly owned by Deng Kai and Jiang Yunzhu.

Kai has started his own business.

This World Youth Championship has directly made Dongqiudi a household name in China.

If you want to know more about Deng Kai, then come to Dongqiudi.

Internationally, this media outlet has also frequently published Deng Kai's comments recently, including his assessment of Sporting Lisbon's recent transfers, which has attracted considerable attention.

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports website): "Deng Kai believes that Reina can become a world-class goalkeeper!"

According to Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports website), Deng Kai stated that Evra has the potential to become the strongest full-back in a team of Manchester United's caliber for a certain period of time. This period would likely last about twenty years!

Dongqiudi: "Deng Kai: Vidic will become one of the best center-backs in the world. There is no center-back in Barcelona's current team who can compare with him."

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports website): "Yaya Toure is underestimated by the world. He will revolutionize the demands on midfielders in football; he will become a phenomenal player!"

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